c. A little three-year-old child in Rem

since, fell into we'll forty feet deep, in which
there was ten feet of water, and was neither
scratched nor drowned by the fall. The ia
Their discovered him holding on to the stones
with his fingers and only his head above wa

a bucket called for help, and the little fellow
was drawn up. That he was in no way in

Secession no New Thing.

No one should entertain the idea that the
election of Lincoln has made this secession
and disunion movement at the South. These
disunion sentiments are older than the Re
publican party. This is a chronic complaint
with South Carolina, and she merely seizes
this occasion DIS a favorable one to stir up
the South to deeds that they will be sorry
for when they come to the sober second
thought. These exasperated men have Wis
ions Of Southern Confederacy, and cannot
wait for some overt act on the part of the
government, but seize upon such events as
have transpired in the week that has passed,
to dissolve the union and set up separate
government. There are too many sensible
men even in South Carolina to countenance
such acts, and most people entertain the idea
that this project will be "still-born."
Perhaps this is the greatest furry of the
kind since the election of President Jackson
in 1882. That lasted about three months.
In December, 1882, Jackson issued his ia
| nous proclamation, and the following from
the Charleston Mercury of December L.
1882, will show how it was received. How
much it sounds like the disunion frenzy
which characterizes the South to-day:
1.-The Declaration of War made by Andrew
Jackson against the State of South Carolina
occupies to-day the larger portion Of our col
umns. 1t will be read with the feelings which
so extraordinary document is calculated t.
excite. This unhappy man has been subere.
