Recently the South Carolina cadets at the
West Point Military Academy threw up their
commissions with flourish, and went home
declaring their valuable services should not
be withheld from their native State in her
hour of trial. This certainly had the appear
ance of beautiful, sefsacrifcing, though
many might think misguided patriotism. But
how very cheap and unreal the article becomes
when light is thrown upon it. 1t is certainly
ascertained that at the approaching january
examination these valorous, patriot, young

The Montgomery raid in Kansas turns out
to be just nothing at all Acting Governor
Beebe, of that Territory, has visited Fort
Scott AND other points said to have been de-
yastatcd by Montgomery, and fuds that the
story of Judge Williams which SO startled the
nation q few weeks ago, was false in every par
ticular. MONTGOMERY simply took steps to
have fair dealings in the land sales. and drove
off a lot of horse thieves and gamblers, and af-
forwards all was peace and quiet.

WHAT THE SLAVES TuISk, St Louis
Democrat says: - .- n
The most tragic feature of the present
Southern agitation is the wide spread fear of
slave insurrcctions. From the common cpl
thet of Black applied to the Republican
party, it is stated, negroes in some of the
Slave States have derived the impression that
the black men of the North have obtained
possession of the Government, and are to in
augurate Il policy of general emancipation of
all the colored race.

Instead Of streng thening the forces at Fort
Moultric against the traitors who are attempt
ing to overturn the Gorerninc Mr.. Buchan-
an has recommended day of fasting, hunil-
iition and prayer. Prayer ought to be made
at adj times, but our theology teaches us that
faith without works is dead. If Mr.. Buchanan
would have his prayers heard let him do works
meets for repentance. Let him fulfil the obli-
cations he has voluntarily taken upon him
seif to uphold the honor and integrity of the
nation and abandon the traitors who are stri :
wing to work its ruin. The Washington cor
respondent of the Evening Post says that the
publication OF the proclamation was followed
by some appropriate remarks, delivered by
Rcvcrdg Johnson, in the Supreme Court Of
the United States, in which that distinguished
advocate prays that Heaven may silence the
winnings of imbecility, now discouraging and
sickening the honest public heart" Mr.
johnson is not, it may be remarked, a very ar
dent admirer of the Presdent.-State Jour
nal.
