small feathers fastened inside, and falling GRACE

THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRESS ON LIN
COINS INAUGURAL.
From The Charleston Aerclu7L1
but sun we would say to our people, for the pre-
sent keep cool and bide your time. The honor of
this State is no further involved in this NATTER
1t has been transferred to the shoulders of
the Government of the Confederate States
of America. Whether wisely or not it is
now too late to discuss. Our course now
ic fira1y oF ,o1.o
We 90 not profess to be accurately cognizant of
the plans of President Davis If there is to be a
war, there must be plan and policy for the
campaign. These must originate from the heads
of the government We have now nothing to lose
by time, everything to gain. War six weeks ago
might have placed Virginia now by our side
War would have been in the name of the State of
South Carolina. The glory, prestige and historic
fame would have been hers. 1t is no longer so.-
The blood will be hers; but little Of the profit
That blood, however, her people are still, as they
have ever been, willing generously to shed. Nor
will any foreign foe unmolested cross her border
by sea or land. Beyond this policy and strategy
must rule the action of the General Government
at Montgomery. Their decision with regard to
this harbor will be carried out by the troops of
Carolina.
That President Lincoln will attempt to collect
revenue Oft the Bar, is now beyond a question:
What then? Here lies the question in which alone
this State is directly concerned. What course is
then to be pursued by the Southern Government? :?
There are but two open. The one, immediate at
tack upon Fort Sumter; the other, to besiege and
starve out the fortress. To attack the Fort will
not remove the men-of-war from off our Bar
What, then, will be gained? 1t is a question.
To declare martial law over the whole harbor
including both shores and the wharves of the city,
prohibiting all approach to Fort Sumter by night
or by day, excluding from it all supplies of any
description and all information or communication
to its inmates, may be the policy decided upon
Salt meat and warm weather may most effectually
a e. e. n
now only to hasten the period of our starvation
For no ship-ot-war can enter our harbor and
land supplies.
From the Charleston Courier
If it means anything deviating from the lament
ably anomalous and pitiable condition which
marked the expiring weeks of the preceding Ad
ministration, it means to the extent of Presi
dent Lncoln's powers or influence. Itis our wisest
and best policy to accept it declaration of war,
and to await only for our own opportunities OF
meeting that issue which, before Heaven and earth,
we can proclam-was not Of our seeking. The
sons of the South will read, judge and act for them
selves, their sires and their posterity, and they
must act soon.
The men who went to war against preamble,
and those who went to for the rights of sea-
men, without owning a ship, and the men who
marked Buena Vista, and Contreras, and Chapul-
tepec, in the list of great battles, prepared to
do and suffer much in defence or search of honor,
but they not prepared for that most vulgar, r.
responsible and odious of all governments, the alb
soutism of an accidental maority-and that is the
result of Mr.. Lincon's inaugural, if acted out in
the shaping of political destiny. We believe that
a large portion of the North will not suffer such
result-we know that the South will not.
Let the argument proceed to tie next logical
and necessary steps-an appeal to arms. We are
as well ready as any free people can ever be ex-
pected to be found in advance of the actual onset,
and that argument once applied will bring US new
forces and resources. We are ready.
From the Columbia 49, CD Times
This TRADE of threats of coercion, this terrific
picture of ellis" which he says flying to, is
suddenly concluded by the assertion that he viii
not attempt invasion; that he will commit no "ir.
rational act, "and attempt nothing ''impracticable'
We catch CLEAN of sunshine from these expires
sions, and do not despair that before a montl
passes the irrationality and impracticabiliy o
capturing the forts and enforcing unjust tribute
from the Confederate States will be energetically
impressed upon him by the Confederate Admins
tration.
