The Weak Vessels of Providence.

The Charleston Mercury contains an article in
" authorities of South Carolina" und the "au.
thorites OF the Confederate States" among the
weak vessels which Providence has used in the
pending struggle to bring to nsught the wisdom
Of iuen. Both those sets Of authorities no doubt
rejoice in humble thankfulnrss Mt occupying this
lofty pusition,-ay, even SO by the admission Of
their opponents. They m"y we'll glory in that
inefficient policy" anl ;;mid conduct of affairs"
.vhch have cUnicsscdly wrought out T. Southern
Conitdcracy, where no such thing might Otherwise
have existed When the .Ncrcury "vouutccrcd
for the work. Of ;lsslul,ins Fort Sumter, it Ills
tinclly appears not to have been under tho guild
ancc of an all-wise Providence. When the Her
cury "cxprcssc,l impat;cncc ut the long drawn
out diplomacy and unnecessary delay in attacking
Fort Sumter" il Was clearly MT in the provi'icn
tiul line Of our ,lcivcrancc. Fort Sumter brought
war and war thro,ic,i rc-con3tructior, Uut the
Nercary's "imraiencc" might have produced nm
altogether different result and Was no part IF
thr Proridentinl ordering Of events.
II ducs seem 10 US, according to the .Nerc@ry''
own showing, that there never was Il clearer IL
lustration Of the text: IS THE p"uers that je are
orInincd IF God" However this may be, every
fair mind must perceive That the buDgling effort
to dctract from the ability Of our authorities, no~
is utterly futile in the face Of acts and results,
thus far developed in the history of the Confrd-
crate States. And we here deny that the Charles
ton Mcfcnry, in these utteranccs, is in any sense
the exponent of public sentiment in South Caro-
lima. For this purpose alone have We noticed that
papers extraordinary course towards our State

To the Public.

Our names have been placed before the people
by kind friend, without our knowledge, for seats
in the legislature. A disnclination to avoid res
possibility, has constrained US to allow this an
nouncement to remain, Us made, for two weeks.
But as it appears that there will be no vacancies
up to the meeting Of the Legislature, and possibly
not even then, VIC respectfully authorize the with
dr:lwal of that announcement. In asserting to it
by our silence for time, We we're far from de;i-
ring to displa'e those gallant men who were the
choice OF the people for these positions Of public
service; And We trust that circumstances may
in some way enable them still to discharge the du-
ties OF their civil posts.
