T COMM ArEp.

To the Editor Of the Carroltton Sun':
S1R-From the day that the chiv-
alrous State of South Carolina took the
lead, and in defiance of the Black
Republican Dictator. raised her Pal
metto Flag, our struggle for INDIE
pendence has been carried on with
such gigantic strides, that it is next to
+ impossible to check our feverish impa-
thence now, that an apparent calm
momentarily exists.
But forbear while yet, and trust
in the death-like silence of our UNI
daunted Military Chief. Though the
war cloud seems shifted from Pensa-
cola to Harper's Ferry, it grows,
nevertheless, darker every hour.
Beware, the lurid lightning is about
to fash across the dim horizon, and
the clap of thunder is at hand.
Under such a conviction what ought
we to do! Like good citizens let us
first, carefully, abstain from useless
fretfulness and rash blame, as to the
indispensable secresy that reigns over
tho deep laid plans, firm resolves o.
necessary hardness of execution il
the Military moves of our Incompatible
President.
The very fact of keeping away from
Us and from the enemy what he i
about TO do is our safeguard, nay, tn
only sure mode of riding through til
storm, the gallant ship of our Confe
deracy.
Waste then not your precious tim
in hourly expectation of WORTHLESS
sensation dispatches or in catching 6
all the wild rumors that may be 81
ahont to dampen your spirits. Bt
rather, let every one set his shoulde
to the wheel in helping, to the best {
his abilities, our new born Government
under the full and firm belief thu
our struggle for Independence will
desperate, formidable and of Ion
duration.
Next, like prudent and well inform'
men, let us not underrate the dominee
ing coercive measures OF Abolitiondo
because they are, undoubtedly, &
up on a vast scale. Their vindi
tiveness knows no bounds, and the
Mahometan-like fana-icism will eau
them to fight like madmen.
On the other hand, though the sens
tive South is still writhing under t
taunts of the North and all the wron
heaped upon her, for years, yet she
calm, dignifed and self-reliant.
Her defensive preparations, thou
not known as to their extent, max
them none the less to be dread
because of their secrecy. The SOU
makes no threats because she is territ
in earnest. She scorns to count
numbers for she has full faith in
