After noticing Senator Pughs speech, the letter
concludes as follows:
''Thus it is that are being BETRAYED; thus it is
that we are being deprived Of our champions. The
president gone! The Cabinet gone-most Of the
southern leaders gone! The Offices of the Federal
GoFernment in the hands of the open enemies of the
country, and the Republican party itself appalled,
and disheartened in the face of this great peril
see but one mode of rescue, and that is to wake the

SOUTH CARoLTNA'S COMMERCIAL AND POSTAL ARRANGE
MENTs.
The Charleston Courier of Friday, says:
The great question of the commercial arrange
ments and relations Of the independent Common
wealth of South Carolina will be promptly con-
s!dered and decided by the Convention now in ses-
slon without undertaking to dictate or to decide
in advance, the duty and position of anv officers
whose commissions issued from the obsolete Govern
ment, we may state, confidently that, during the
transition period, and pending the establishment of
new order in full no violent or reckless inter
ruptlou will be attempted The vested rights and
interests and contracts of any persons citizens of
any States, now foreign, will be recognised and
maintained.
We feel assured from our knowledge of the char
acter and position of our esteemed Postmaster that
all postal accommodations will be afforded for the
present, and until permanent arrangements can
be made by the Convention by the Legislature
If the United States authorities or the Post office
Department of the United States send the mails to
this State as heretofore it will be for the benefit of
citizens of the United States as well as of citizens
OF South Carolina. 1t is not the desire or interest
or intention of South Carolina, in any action de-
manded by her honor and defence to involve or
Affect needessly or wantonlv the private rights or
interests of citizens Of any of the States with which
she was lately associated
m EUROPEAN AID.
The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday, in an art-
Gle on the of South Carolina seeking aid in
Europe, says:
No. The hope of European aid to the South is
an utter iallacy. Let US be heartily thank full that
1t is So 1t is much better for US and ours that we
can and must do our own fighting. Thank God
we are not so weak that We have cause to take
shelter beneath the dangerous protection of a
European monarchy. If we were weak enough to
need It, God forbid that we should be craven
enough to seek it. Our true policy, in war as in
peace, is to maintain invioate the Monroe doc,
trine, positively refusing to permit to the mon
archIes OF Europe any voice in the control of the
''sovereign and independent States of the Cont
nent of America"
