On Friday last the Washington c,rrespond-
ent of the of the New York Times, telegraph
ed from that city that orders had been trans
mittcd 10 the comnlandant Of the Charleston
forts to surrender them if attacked, and that
large amount of ammunition stored in Fort
NJ oultrie had been demanded by and delivered
over TO the people of Charleston. The intel
ligencc produced intense excitement wherever
received and the denunciations upon the
President and his Secretary of War which ii
called out were terrible in the extreme-indi-
cations which clearly show the manner in
which the people of the North would be af-
fectcd by treachery such as that charged
Subsequent adyices have not confirmed the
truth of the report, and the correspondent
who sent it out in subsequent despatch thus
refers to the matter
The dispatch in Fridays Times still ex-
cites the public, Every one admits its prob
ability and plausibility, but they are afraid to
admit the facts, as such treachery seems in
credible. The Presidents organ, the Consti-
tuition, does not deny it. The Star, Demo
cratic, ridicules it, but does not deny it
Those who ought to know, bubble by stating
that in case the authorities of the Sovereign
State of South Carolina demand the forts as
belonging to the State, it then becomes
question Of resort to the Courts, not arms
taking as precedent the case of the United
States VS.. Alabam, Supreme Court Reports,
l630-3l) which is not parallel. Another ex-
pIanation is, that the orders are such as will
prevent bIoodshed. and save Major Anderson
from dishonor another, that the President
has positive assurances that no attack will be
made, and has warned the garrison not to pro-
woke a quarrel. Therefore the statement in
the Times that A nderson is to surrender with
ont a struggle, and is deprived of discretiona-
ry powers, is not denied yet, and cannot be
successfully.
Gen. Scott says that Fort Moultrie is not
the strongest lortiicatien, bnt Fort Sumter
is, and that two hundred men can hold it
against all South Carolina, and six hundred
men can defy the world" -. ....-

The speech of Senator WADE, delivered
last week, has attracted more attention than
any other delivered in either House during
the present session. and the high commenda2
tions it has elected in all quarters are no
less fattering than they are well desevered,---
4 more honest man or devoted patriot thaBs
Judge Wade does not exist, and his public
utterances are true reflex of their distin-
guished author-able, statesmanlike and point
ed firm and decided in vindication of the
right as relates to his own section, but at the
same time conciliatory and scrupu.orsly obser-
want of the rights of other portions of the
conGcderacy. II the integrity Of the Union
is to be maintained and any serious effort
made to check the onward nurch OF treason,
this speech cannot but be productive Of goetl
results, by warning those engaged in plotting
the destruction of the Government of the ma
ture of their crime and the disastrous results
that a persistence in their mad and reckless
course is almost certain to entail upon them
selves, their States and the country at large;
and if, on the other hand, those having con
troll of the government are resolved to prove
false TO the trust reposed i'll them by the peo-
pie ard surrender to the factionists who have
thus Far controlled their actions, its delivery
is opportmre ass2 timely in order to fasten the
responsibility where it properly belongs, and
vindcate the great party with which he acts
from the charge of being in any way respon-
siblc for disunion and the direfu consc-
! uucnccs that must follow its accomplish
mcnt.
The speech we publish on the first paga is
not the full official report, which latter did
not reach us till that given was in type. AL
though far from as satisfactory as the entire
| speech. it is nevertheless very fnll abstract
and gives as well and forcibly as it is possible
for a sketch to do it, all the points Of fthe ar

The Paris correspondent the New York

young and struggling artist, whose
whole time Is not yet occupied Ia ming
orders for the decoration ofthe Louvre, Yer
sailles, OF the mansions of opuient citizens,
and who is at present obliged to content
himself with the modest subsistence his PEN
ell earns, was lounging along the Bouleyards
a few days ago, looking into the shop win
dows, and wondering, perhaps, II the time
would collect around ctdIage Of some we'll
known picture dealer, to admire a future
| triumph of his own, when his attention was
suddenly attracted by small marine view,
| elegantly framed, in one Of whose corners
| was written, in bold letters, the name of
Bennington The sight Of this picture
which had been placed in so conspicuous a
position as to ensure the attention ofpassers-
by, seemed to excite q sudden emotion in the
| young artists breast which he succeeded in
completely suppressing as he entered the
shop and asked 10 speak with the head of
4 the establishment. That parsonage, who
| was experimenting the packing Of a case OF
1 pictures-perhaps destined for the American
market--stepped forward and inquired the
strangers pleasure.

Little San HIarino, the Republic Fourteen
'.r Centuries Old. $50


The following sketch of San Marino, "the
community of few thousand people which
can boast of its freedom for more than 1400
years" is from Butts History of Italy:
''Not far from the shores of the Adriatic,
about ten miles distant from Rimini, the
traveller through that country may have OBJ
served rising abruptly from the plain steep
and rugged mass of mountain and rock. The
Titans Mount was its name in days when
Pagan tradition pointed out its masses of
rock as the fragments of mountain which
the giants had hurled against heaven in their
conflict with the gods. On its summit rose
in later times temple toJupiter, the memo
rial probably of his triumph overhis impious
foes. Its solitary glens were avoided as
haunted by demons. In the earlier ages of
Christianity the shrine of Jupiter was placed
by an altar of the Christian faith; and we
need not very critically scan the accuracy of
the tradition which tells US that the demons
fed from the spot, which became the abode
| of Christians, whose successors and descend
ants preserve their freedom to the present
day.
Marinus, q Dalmatian artizan, laid, in the
| fourth century, the foundations of the town,
the liberties of which have so marvelously
survived. Driven from his native country
by persecution, on account of embracing the
Christian faith, he followed his occupation
of stonemason at Rimini, and attracted by
the solitude and security of one of the fertile
dells which intersected the high places OF
the Titans Rock, he built for himself house
| in the secluded retreat. He had won the
friendship Of the Bishop of Rimini by his
piety, and religion was supposed to hallow
| the retirement of the hermit-mechanic.
Other habitations soon rose beside that OF
Marinus, and little community was formed
upon the slopes of the rugged, but not un-
| fruitful hill. Without the asceticism or the
vows of the monastery, its members wert
| yeti religious community, composed prin
! cipally Of those. who sought tranquil re-
treat from the cares and distractions Of the
world. The village which arose took the
name of its founder, to whom the respect o.
its inhabitants was not long in attributine
the distinctive epithet of Saint; and after tht
lapse of fifteen centuries the free Republic o
San Marino perpetuates to modern times thu
the name Of the humble mechanic who fec
from the further shores Of the Adriatic II
find upon the nights of the Titans' Rock
retreat, in which in undisturbed security h
might follow the religion of the cross"

Incident of the Late Storm in the South
Narrow Escape Of a Fisherman.

Narrow Escape Of Fisherman.
The Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser, of Wednes-
day morning, says:
We are hearing almost every hour Of some
incident connected with the disastrous storm
that visited us on Saturday night last, but
none Of them equals, in peril and hardship,
n story that was related to us yesterday
afternoon, of the narrow escape of Swed-
ish fisherman from drowning in our bay
during the gale. The hero of this story, with
two comrades, was upon Dauphin Island
when the storm came up, and the house
which they occupied was borne OFF by the
storm. The Swede went TO a sailboat near
by, and the force Of the wind parted the
painter, and sent the boat out with the soli-
tary mariner upon the merciless wave In
few minutes she was upset, and for several
hours she was drifting and tossing upon the
| pillows up and down the bay, the Swede
! having no control over her whatever, and
clinging with all his might TO her sides.
| Thus things continued with him until the
| wind subsidized, and the gale ceased, and I
fortunate roll of the billows landed him il
an almost ifeless condition upon the beacl
below Point Clear. Here he was found b,
few kind-hearted people living in tn
neighborhood, and by them taken prope
care OF. Not word Of the fate of his com
! panions has yet been received. The las
that is known of them is that they went o.
board fat-boat, in the gale, and that sh
was borne out to sea. As the wind was yer
high, and the waves rolling tremendousl!
the probabilities are that the boat VIZ
swamped, and her unfortunate crew found
watery grave. w d ,.,.g n4g

The Effect of the TOrrid Season on the In

This extract from Punch is quite in season
just now; - .1rn sasy a-..ot1
The session and season are now telling
upon everybody. People get weary, cross
and careless; and even Mr.. Punch himself is
conscious of professionally emitting an epigram
whose excellent wit is not quite polished up
to his habitually preternatural effulgence.
He sometimes gives gold-the purest, doubt
less, but only gold-instead of diamonds.
The factis, that It is time to leave town, and
bathe the soul in shady woods. Any person
who is up to his ordinary mark during the
last part of the season is Snob and not
elegant and sought after. Any journal that
is as well written in September as in May is
written by Snobs.
These remarks are not made in any aris-
tocratic spirit ofswell-dom-Ar. Punch con-
ceived them while eating cold sausage and
leaning at the door of a country public
house-bnt to apologize for the House of
Commons, which is just now dawdling,
twaddling, and every now and then having
a violent scold. Palmerston tonight re-
buked the Opposition for hindering and talk
ing, and advised members to avail themselves
| ofevery opportunity of holding theft tongues
| whereat Disraeli blazed up, and said that al
| the loss of time and good measures arose from
| the Government coalition having, merely fol
| factious purposes, and to keep their places
| wasted the session ON an illusory treaty anC
moonshine reform bill. Even big Bentinck
of Norfolk, has grown nervous, and thinks
all the foreigners in London are going to rise
and pull up the telegraph posts, and tear W
the railways. Wemust all get out of town

Grace and GoOd-Breeding.
A female writer on Burmah relates the
following:
One day the Woonkadau came, with her
suite, to pay respects. This Tounghoo lady
was some sixty years of age--her silvery
q white hair combed smoothly up from an
ample forehead, her black eyes keenly glanc-
ing beneath highly arched brows-her
fingers gemmed with the nine magic stones
Of Burmah-her almost white feet slipped
loosely into light scarlet sandals-her person
attired in a beautiful silk robe Of modest
pink and white shecks, but open in front
after the Burman fashion, with wide Grim
son cincture around the bust. Over this
delicate lawn jacket, open, with long floating
lappets on either side; and above all, grace
fully flowing over the left shoulder, richly
wrought white lace mantle. Imagine such
figure, and you have before you Woonkadau
of Tounghoo, or former governors favorite
wife, as she appeared when she paid me
visit, with her suits, soon after my arrival.
There were seven or eight ladies in her
train, all with the hair exquisitely dressed,
straight over the forehead, with a curious
half curl; the smallest in the world, caressing
. each side, and the large knot behind en-
circled with orchids, or fragrant screw-pine.
: The screw-pine is really fascinating; indeed,
believe it is the very prettiest head-dress
in Burmah. Screw-pine flowers somewhat
resemble corn flowers in the sheath, and are
: deliciopsly fragrant. They are often cuolt
in length, and as large as the largest ear OF
q corn, but small ones are chosen for the hair.
O. The flower and sheath are both light straw
= color; and the sheath, OF part oft, is neatly
separated into threads, so put on to fan
gracefully back over the knot, when the
flowers and halfsheath fastened underneath,
altogether composing chaplet really charm
