A South Caroliniau in Philadelphia.

:" ii"oclPhiu recently, Tor the purpose OF
having an operation performed On tic eyes Of
one OF his children, narrowly escaped with
ms hte. The Cheraw Gascttc speaks as fol-
lows of the affair:
While the city was in the hands ofcan
unprlncipled mob, ancwspaper, claiming re-
spcotability announced to tho mob that tho
clerk of tho South Carolina Secession Con
yention, and the mover of the Secession Or.
dinance in that Convention, was at rein.
tiye's house, in the Tenth Ward. Tho mob
needed no better incentive to violence than
this, and but for the intervention of tho Ma.
yor and his police, and personal friends, not
the mover of the Secession Ordinance, but
relative of his, would have fallen a. sacrifice to
mob violence. Warned by the Mayor of his
danger, w. Cowper Inglis, the son of the
mover of the Secession Ordinance, left Phila-
delphia with SaS friend, by stealth, for New
York, where they registered with fictitious
names. But next morning they were spotted
by the New York Tribune, and were only
saved from violence by the intervention of
friends and the police, WHO warned them to
tieo also from that city. Such arc the scenes
daily enacted iii these civilized and christian
lied Unionlovng cities"
BY way of contrast, the Gazette relates tho
following incident:
On Friday night last, gentleman came to
our town, and registered his name on the ho.
tel book as cd. Il Murphy, from Boston.
Massachusetts," On Saturday morning, lie
was called upon by three respectable citizens,
and informed that, in consequence of the
present relations between the two sections, it
was desirable for him to make known who he
was, and his business among us. IIcwas in-
vltcd 10 private audience, which he prompt
ly consented to. While walking with these
gentlemen to- the office of one of the party,
w. Cowpcr Inglis, who had just reached
home on the cars, was called upon to state to
the crowd the treatment he had received in
Philadelphia and New York. The party
stopped and listened to the statement, at the
close of which Mr.. Murphy, of his own ac-
cord, addressed tho crowd who listened re.
spectfully to what he had to say. lie then
proceeded with the gentlemen, and made his
statement; whereupon, he was courteously in
formed that he could remain unnoestcd until
he had completed his business. Not harsh
or angry word was uttered against him, and
he remained i'll town till Monday morning,
feeling as secure, not only from violence, hut
from annoyance, as if he had been at home.
And this, too, at the very moment. when the
indignation of our citizens was aroused to the
highest pitch by the treatment one of our cit
izcns had received in two Northern citics.-
We have noted these things by way of con
trast. Bnt lot not the Northern people de-
ccivc themselves Their outragcs upon our
citizens will surely be avenged, and that ten,
foIds Our people have not been educated to
vengeance, but Northern tcachcrs will find
apt scholars. Marx our prediction.

man who passed Cairo on, Thursday, and he
assures us that the people of that city arc
very decidedly against Lincoln's policy
They were about erecting secession flag

Lincoln intended sending an army Of 0,UOO
