AID FOR SOUTH CARoL1NA.-The news
from South Carolina received during the
last three or four days, has produced uni.
versal excitement among our citizens, and
we have yet to hear Of but few persons who
do not fully sympathize with the people Of
the gallant Palmetto State in their deter
minatiou to throw off the Black Republican
rule. On the receipt of the first news con-
cerning the evacuation of Fort Moultrie by
the U. S. troops and a probable collision
with the South Carolinians, about fifty Of
our young men, determined and true,
promptly enrolled themselves, under a
pledge to leave at moments warning for
Charleston, prepared to render whatever
aid and service they might be called upon
to perform in defence of South Carolina
The number has since largely increased,
and, we're it deemed imperatively necessary,
the number could be easily raised to hun
dreds. We trust there may be no occasion
for their services; but should such be the
case, from our knowledge Of the material,
we feel assured that their pledge will be
implicitly fulfilled, and that South Carroll
ma will not secure the support of a braver
and more chivalrous band.-Lynchbwy

L1NcoLN's INAUGURATIoN.-A letter
from Washington says:
The obstructions to Mr.. oln'sadvent
into Washington may be avoided by his
taking the oath of Office in New York or
Philadelphia, or even in Springfield; but
here doubt has arisen in the minds of
some astute gentlemen. Suppose the elec-
raj votes are never counted according to
constitutional requiremeut-that is no Chi
mera, for it is expected that fifteen South
ern States will be out of the coufederacy
by the first of February. The votes are to
be counted on the first Monday in that
month. Fifteen States out, thirty Senate
rial votes are gone, and if the Northern
Democratic Senators go with them, such
as General Lane, of Oregon, Messrs. Gwin
and Latham, of California, Douglas, of
Illinois, Bright and Fitch, of Indiana,
Pugh, of Ohio, Rice, of Minnesota, and
Thomson, of New Jersey, there will be but
tweuty.seven Senators left, or seven short of
a quorum, and you may be assured the
Vice President will never give his consent
to have the votes counted if quorum OF
the Senate be not present.

CHARLESTON AND N. York HARBoRs

CHARLESTON AND N. YORK HARBoRs.
He who will take the trouble to compare
the map of Charleston harbor and vicinity,
with that of New York, will not fail to dis
cover remarkable similarity in their gen.
eral features. Charleston, like this city,
occupies a peninsula, the extremity Of
which is laid out with sea-wall and shaded
park with promeuades, called the Battery,
similar to our own. The Ashley River cor
responds with our North River, and the
Cooper River with our East River. The
con6guration of the Hog Island and Mount
Pleasant shore is not unlike that of Brook
lyn, and the position of Shute's Folly ISL
and, on which stands Castle Pinckney, and
of Governors Island, with its Castle Will.
liam, are relatively the same. Even the
situations of these two Notifications cor
with a remarkable exactness.-
Fort Monltrie may be said to be the coun-
terpart of our Fort Hamilton, and Ft. Sum-
ter, like our Fort Lafayette, is built upon
an island opposite, though at much great
er distance from Fort Moultrie than LaFay-
ette is from Fort Hamilton. Fort johnson
on James Island, corresponds with Fort
Richmond on Staten Island. Other resem-
blances may be traced which add to the CO.
incidence. e.-Journal Of Commerce.

VIGILANCE ASSOCIATION.

BLA1RsvILLE, Dec. %, 1860.
In accordance to previous notice, por-
ton of the citizens in the vicinity met to
day at Whites Store, and was organized
by calling j. NJ. Hope to the Chair, and
requesting E. L. Minter, to act as Secreta-
~.
Mr.. Morrison Russell explained that the
object of the meeting was to consult means
for concert of action among the citizens of
the community, fer the promotion of the
peace and good order of the same.
On motion, the Chair appointed q. L.
Minter, Morrison Russell, S. Blair, j. C..
Mitchell and William Scott, Committee
to present resolutions as expressive OF the
sense Of the meeting in relation to the above
stated object. After short absence, the
committee through their Chairman, pre-
seuted the following preamble and resolu.
tions, which passed unanimous ", viz:
Whereas continued and incessant inter-
ference with slaves by base and uuprincipled
white men, is calculated to inspire such
slaves with malign and vague notions of
freedom, detrimental to the peace and safe
ty of any. community, as indicated by re-
cent events which calls loudly for concert
of action, as we'll as a just apprehension OF
danger;
And whereas, the Creator has implanted
in the heart of man for the wisest Of pur-

The Policy OF COERCION. The advo.
Gates of coercive measures towards South
Carolina point to the course pursued by
Washington when part of the State Of
Pennsylvania resisted the laws of Congress,
and say that Mr.. Buchanan finds a prece-
dent there for coercion. Not 80. The Ca
ses are not at all parallel. The rebellion
iu Pennsylvania, known as the Whisky
lnsurrection, included only a part of the
people of that State, and did not enlist the
sympathy Of any other State.
Again, the measures taken by Gen. Jack
son in regard to notification in 1882, are
quoted as precedent for Mr.. Buchanan.
The attitude of the people of South Ca
rolina, and of other Southern States, is
very different now from what it was in 1882.
Then her own people were divided amongst
themselves, and not solitary Southern
State evinced any active sympathy with
her. Now, her people act as one man,
and four or i've States stand ready to follow
her, and share her fate. Let conflict of
arms come, no matter by whom, or for what

REPUBLICAN INvINc1BLEs.-At late
regular meeting of the Philadelphia Repub-
lican Invincibles, the Executive Commit
mittee having decided that the Club should
make an excursion to Washington, to as
sist in the Inauguration Of Lincoln, mo-
ton was made, that the Club approve Of
that act. Whereupon discussion arose as
to the policy Of the move.
A member of the club was Of opinion
that "forewarned was forearmed," and con-
sequeutly, the club should be on hand to
make good the promise of one its represen-
tatives at Washington. When Mr.. Iverson,
of Georgia, vauntingly said that 100000
Wide Awakes could not inaugurate Mr..
Lincoln. Mr.. Wade, Of Ohio, retorted,
then 100000 would be on hand. Let the
Republicans make good that promise.
The subject was scisely postponed until
the next meeting, which perhaps will be
sOisely postponed until after the inaugura-
ton.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, January $40 p. NJ.
Senator Douglas is addressing crowded
Senate. He charges the slavery excite
ment on the Republicans, who violated the
Missouri Compromise in 1S4S.
WASHINGTON, January $40 p. m.
Senator Douglas urges the use of all the
means, legal and constitutional, which can
be used for enforcing due execution of the
laws, but denies that any other means can
be employed than those at the command of
civil officers. He declares that when there
are 10 civil officers left, it is folly to talk of
executing the laws. Therefore, the reyolu-
tion in South Carolina is complete, because
there are ND Federal officers.
WASHINGTON, January 3-9 p. NJ
Douglas was terribly severe to-day on the
Abolitionists in Congress. His speech to-
day is pronounced to be the best of his po.
litical life.
He advocated the enforcement of the
law, but only in the territory while in the
possession of the Federal Government
The revolution in South Carolina he pro-
nounced to be complete. Every citizen in
the State recognized his allegiance to the
State instead of the Federal Government.
He urged that in the territory still within
the possession of the Federal Government,
the law was to be enforced by civil process,
and not by armies and navies. Even the
legal possee must be under civil officer.
After the Government de tacto of the Sc.
ceding State had been established, then
war might be made to recover the territory,
but he warned gentlemen the war was dis
union, certain, final and irrevocable.
The sudden departure of the Commits
sioners has added much to the excitement
here, and rumor is current that Fort Sum-
ter has been bombarded to-day. Every
report from Charleston is eagerly caught
up and retailed as true. The failure of
the President to send his correspondence
with the Commissioners to Congress to-day.
causes much speculation. An impression
prevails thai the proclamation will be issu-
ed on Saturday. The election news from
Georgia has produced the most intense ex-
element here to night

EIGHTH WEEK OF THE CR1s1s.-The
New York Herald has a long article under
this heading, from which we extract the
following paragraph:
"But there is nothing to be hoped from
the political leaders. The people must act
for themselves, and take measures to call
conventions in every Northern State
This can be done in the course of the en-.
suing month, and the South can take the
month of February to consider such offers
of friendship, cancellation and compromise
as the Northern States may offer; and if,
in the meantime, the President elect will
endorse these concessions, then it is to be
hoped that the sun of the 4th of March will
not rise in blood, and that Mr.. Lincoln,
will be the President, not of the Northern
fragment of a broken Union, but of the
thirty.three United States"

A YOUTHFUL HERo.-A little son Of
DR.. Mettler, of Hartford, Conn.,, broke
through spot Of thin ice on Little River,
on Monday last, and was carried by the
current under the ice below. Charlie
Champion, boy 13 years Of age, witnessed
the accident, and ran to the rescue. See
ing the body floating under the thin, trans
parent ice, he quickly ran a short distance
below, seated himself where cake of old
ice made it strong, kicked with his heels a
hole through the ice just ahead of the float
ing boy, and stuck his legs through. The
drowning boy clutched bis foot firmly, when
Charlie drew him to the opening, seized
him with his hands, and pulled him out
alive! He was properly cared for
