South carolinian chivalry.

On the much yaunted chivalry Of South
Carolina, the Boston Journal remarks:
II there is anything for which South Caro-
lima has claimed unlimited credit, IL was I'M
limited determination. Every son of hem
was resolved TO die in his tracks. before he
would show his heels to the Yankee foe =
The State might be made sepulchre-in-
deed. she must be, just in proportion to any
hostile advance within her borders Perhaps,
then, our troops did not expect TO SEQ the
rebel dag coming down ut Forts Walker and
Bcauregard, until the last man in each gar
rison had looked round upon his slaughtered
comrades, and had got his side arms ready
to die fighting at the threshold. But if they
were under the impression, they must have
been surprised to learn OF the headlong
scampering Of over twenty-five hundred men,
ere fry Of them had been killed. Surely,
there was splendid opportunity to verify
the boasted determination of the chiyalry.-
The aristocratic citizens Of Beaufort, also,
might have produced an immense moral effect,
il they had remained as fearless and calm rs
the Roman Senator'S when the invaders
entered the Capitol. But they chose to
abscond with panic stricken haste that APP
pears to have raised ludlcrous images in the
minds of their abandoned negroes. The in
ference, therefore, would seem to be that the
devotion OF South Carolinians is, to say tho
best, like that Of the majority Of men, and
that they will hold out or yield, fight, die or
run, according to the average experience Of
human nature.

How TIE NAVAL VrcroRr WAS GAINED
Com. Dupont's management ofthe feet under
his command, by which the greatest efieien-
CIV was attained, and a terrific fire directed
against the enemy, is universally commended.
Tho n. Y. Evening Post says that by the
method of his attack he secured the follow
ing advantages
/. He surprised the enemy, who had pre-.
pared to resist landing, and to sink a sta
tionary feet, whose range he would quickly
get with his tremendous S0-pounders. 2. BY
keeping his ships in motion, he secured the
use Of both his hroadsides, which kept his
guns from heating, and enabled the men to
work to greater advantage in their quarters.
3. Thus he was able to concentrate even a
more rapid and terrible fire upon the enemy
than he could have done had he anchored.
4. A fort on shore is large object, station
airy, and which guns may hit anywhere. A
ship aHoat presents small mark, and by
keeping this mark constantly moving, the
enemy's gunners were prevented from obtain
ing an accurate range, and were forced, at
the same time, to expose themselves in their
efforts TO aim, much more than they would
otherwise have done.

are also rapidly concentrating to support the

But il is time. my friends, to relieve your
patience. While we contemplate with the

frightiul evils, and while we deeply sympa.
thisc with those OF our loyal lellow-citizens
in the seceiins States, who are swept along
and Overwhelmed with the tide Of rebellion,
let us diligently search our hearts with the
inquiry, whether, in this great crisis OF our
country's fortune, we ourselves have done and
are doing the whole duty OF good citizens and
devoted patriots. Let those Of you partic-
ularly engaged in the cultivation Of the soil
bear in mind, moro than ever, the duty dc
yolved upon you, as that part OF the popula.

ly bread Of the rest. Duty did I say? Re
