The worst misery that will bcfall
South Carolina will be her humiliation
Of spirit. Never was there a commu-
nifty on the face Of the earth that made
such prctensions to prowcss never
one So habitually arrogant and domi-
neering. Her children have been
brought up to the notion of their su.
periority of blood and condition, and
have learned to cherish no other feel
ing than that of sovereign contempt
for the mudsills" and greasy me-
chanics " Of the North. They have
called themselves the chivalry, and for
whole generation have been prac-
ticing the airs and the tones of the
tragic tyrant that stalks his brief
hour on the stage. Such vaporing
and bravado, such insult and contume-
ly, such superciliousncss and scorn.
fulness, as has been put forth by
these palmetto sprigs, have never
been exceeded among any people,
either civilized or barbarous. Never
since history began, did arrogance re-.
ceive worse humiliation than is in
store for South Carolina.

Secretary Cameron makes a Speech.

Secretary Cameron has recently
been visiting the U. S. Arsenal at
Springfield, Mass. While at his hotel
he was called out for speech, and as
his position makes his remarks of ma
tiopal importance, we give the sub.
stance of them. He said while he
spoke, freely and frankly, he wished
his hearers to understand distinctly
that in what he said he merely ex-
pressed his own personal opinions,
aud that, as Simon Cameron, he had
no conccalmcnts to make. He would
say to them that he intended, so far as
laid in his power, to prosecute this
war with all the vigor and power Of
the nation. He believed that we had
at the head Of our army young Gen.
eral of great ability, and one in whom
the people could repose confidence.
He could not speak of what Gen. Nc
Clellan proposed to do, as his business
as Secretary of War was to furnish
men and munitions, and TO trust the
disposition Of the troops to the Gen.
eral in comm and.
Mr.. Cameron spoke of the cause Of
the war, and said that everybody un-
derstood what had produced it it
was the discordant element of Slave
ry. In regard to that institution, he
believed that the end Of the war would
be the end of Slavery; unless the reb-
els returned to their duties and their
loyalty.
The Secretary, in the course of the
speech, further remarked that in fitting
out the expedition which had SO re-
Gently sailed for the South, he had di.
rectcd that an extra qucntity Of guns
should accompany the forces, and that
the commander should place these
arms in the hands Of any men who
might offer to use them. He had no
doubt that plenty of men would be
found, even in South Carolina, who
would be willing to fight for the cause
Of freedom and the preservation Of the
Union. In this belief he would sec
that any other expedition that might
hereafter 60 South should take suffi-
cient arms to enable those who desired
to fight, to take the field in aid of the
Union cause.
This speech is said to have proved
highly acceptable to his listeners.

Census Statistics.

The census statistics are being com.
pletcd as rapidly as possible, and as a
new and valuable feature of the work
the Superintendent is having maps of
the several States made, with the sew
eral classes Of the population, and the
amount of the staple products in
scribed in each county, SO as to pre-.
sent to the view an idea of the strength
and resources Of the country at a
glance. The maps Of the Southern
States at the present time are particu-
larly interesting, as exhibiting the
weak points of the enemy, as well as
his resources, to our military authori-
ties. If we assume the slaves to be
the enemies Of their masters, the
weakest places in the enemy's country
are where they suppose they have the
most wealth. The maps alluded to
will form part of the census report,
and will be invaluable as a ready
means of familiarizing the public
mind with the resources Of the country,
and the relative strength of the res
pective parts.

MARYLAND-The vote in the coun-
ties of Maryland at the late Guberna.
torial election, excluding the city
of. Baltimore, was as large as the
very heavy vote at the last Presidcn.
tial election. In the counties, the to.
tai vote was for Governor 60, 1903, and
for President 62,356. In the six coun.
ties adjoining Pennsylvania, the Gov.
ernor vote was for Bradford (Union)
22,407, against $50 for Howard
peace or Secession). In the remain
ing counties the vote was for Bradford
l7,l73, and for Howard 1913. These
Northern counties have more than hall
the voting and fighting power Of the
State, and they are for the Union he.
cause they have few slaves. An ex-
animation of these figures will serve,
among other things, to show the folly
of the idea that the real Union men
Of the South are to be propitiated by
pandering to the institution of slavery

A PLEASANT INCIDENT.-A few days
since, pleasant and touching incident
occurred on q train between this city
and Boston. Among the passengers
were several wounded soldiers from
the battle at BalPs Bluff. Most of
them were gentlemanIy and well be-
haved, but two of them had, in some
way, been supplied with bottle Of
whiskey, the contents of which had
made them rude, and their conduct
was evidently very painful to their
companions. On the way, little girl
from Pennsylvania. about eight years
old, went up to the soldiers, and ex-
tending her hand said: 81 am proud Of
you; l want to shake hands with you"
And having shaken the hand of each
one, she turned to the noisy ones and
said: ~ cannot bear to see you drink
that whiskey; it makes you act as if
you were not soldiers" Touched by
her kindness and tender remonstrance,
they Immediately threw away the
whiskey, and were perfectly orderly

Something Expected in Kentucky.

The Louisville Democrat says: "Our
readers may as we'll prepare to hear
before the close Of this month news
as stirring Us that from the great feet /;
and this time the news will be of more
interest to us, because Of its nearness.
Kentucky will, to great extent, end
the war so far as the land forces are
concerned" The editor proceeds to
explain that the recent backward
movement of Gen. Shepfs column in
Southeastern Kentucky, so far from
being in the nature of a reverse, as
some have represented, was only part
of plan for making a grand demon
stration for the relief Of East Ten.
nessee. The Democrat adds
We do not think it necessary to
state what our information is; but
we can say that the order to fall back
is based on the best grounds, and the
wisdom Of the order will be apparent
to the least intelligent inside of fifteen
days. The Knoxville Register of the
l4th thinks the Union men of East
Tennessee have brought destruction
on their own heads by burning the
bridges in that region Of country. We
do not and the Knoxville Register
will find itself wofuIly mistaken. The
Unionists of East Tennessee, with the
organization they are known to have
already effected, will be able to with
stand an assault by any force which
can possibly be sent against them un-
til they are assisted by the Federal
forces and that assistance will reach
them much sooner under the order to
fall back from the Cumberland Gap
than it would have done had our forces
been permitted to attempt the passage
of the mountain"
A special dispatch states that Gen.
Mcclellan has ordered six of the Ohio
and two of the Indiana regiments to
Kentucky, from Western Virginia.
There is probability that other In
diana regiments will follow soon. The
Cincinnati Commercial thus figures
and predicts
"Thc campaigns in Western Vir-
GINA, Eastern Kentucky and Missouri,
are recognized as over and we count
thirty.two regiments that have been
engaged at Elkwater and on the Kan
awha and Big Sandy, and in Missouri,
that will probably be in Central and
Western Kentucky, while at least
twenty other regiments from the
Northwestern State Camps, will be
promptly sent across the Ohio. This
will bring up the army in Kentucky
to about one hundred and twenty thou
sand men, which if we'll handled will
soon make it's way deep into Dixie
land. The programme of the army of
the West can only be conjcctured !;
but it is safe to say that appearances
indicate the passage Of Cumberland
Gap by competent force-the driv-
ing Of Buckner across the Cumberland
river, and grand expedition down
the Mississippi. The gunboats and
floating batteries being built for river
service are nearly ready, and the date
of their completion will not be far from
that of the advance"

British Sentiment.

The London Times of November
18th contains a report Of the speeches
recently delivered on the occasion Of
the inaugural entertainment habitual-
ly given in honor of the Lord Mayor
Of London's accession to Office.
The speech of the Lord Mayor, so
far as it relates to the United States
must be particularly gratifying to all
who have been led to doubt in which
direction the sympathies of Great Bri
tain incline in the present feuds that
affiict our country, while the remarks
of Lord Palmerston portend nothing
but an earnest desire on his part to
preserve the peace which so happily
subsists between the two nations.
Those who have jumped hastily to
the conclusion that the British Gov.
eminent would court rupture with
the United States, for the sordid pur
pose of procuring supplies of cotton,
(by breaking our blockade of the
Southern coast will read with inter.
est the following significant intima-
tons of the British Premier, as con-
solatory to loyal citizens as they are
admonitory to the insurgents, who are
in danger of seeing their boosted mo-
nopoly in a great staple destroyed by
the very means they have taken to
give it greater prepondcrance in the
commercial and political world:
"The condition of our revenue is al.
together satisfactory and although
circumstances beyond our control may
threaten for time to interfere with
the full supplies of that article so nee
essary for the productive industry of
the country, yet no doubt that tempo
rary evil will be productive Of perma-
nent good and we shall find in vari-
GUS quarters of the globe sure and
certain and ample supplies, which
will render us no longer dependent
upon one source of production for
that which is so necessary for the in
dustry and welfare of the whole coun-
try. Gentlemen, when we look
without we see, no doubt, in many
parts of Europe, circumstances which,
if not dealt with by prudence aud dis
erection, may lead to local disturb
ances, which l trust will not at least
extend themselves 80 as to bring us
within their range. On the other side
of the Atlantic we witness with the
deepest affliction-with an affection
which no words can express-differ-
cnces of the most lamcntable kind
among those whom we call our cou.
sins and our relations. 1t is not for
us to pass judgment upon these dis
putes; it is enough for us to offer q
fervent prayer that such differences
may not be Of long continuance, and
that they may speedily be succeeded
by the restoration of harmony and
peace"

Fort PickenS.

On the 10Th ult. a battle was CON-
menced at Fort Pickcns, and continued
at intervals for several days. The
only news yet received has come
through channels. The following des.
patch contains the latest report:
FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 20.
This afternoon, passengers by q
flag of truce, from Norfolk, furnish
some further particulars in regard to
the reported fight at Fort Pickens.
These particulars, it must be remem.
bered, came through rebel sources.
Gen. Bragg had not made breach in
the fort as was before reported.
Great excitement prevailed through
the South respecting the battle, but it
was thought Bragg would be able to
force Col. Brown to surrender.
A messenger arrived at Richmond
from Pensacola on Sunday last, with
peremptory demand for reinforce
ments. Bragg was at that time hope
full Of an early success, and was re-
plying at intervals upon the fortress
with great effect. His regular dis
charges are described as being really
The General was perfectly
cool and confident. No breach had
yet been made, but on Monday one
would be manifest, when Bragg expec-
ted reinforcements, and would storm
with fresh troops aud ordnance. Col.
Brown had concentrated a perfect
storm of shot and shell upon the navy
yard, burning it down together with
all the outbuildings, and considera-
bic amount of ordnance stores. PEN
sacola had been evacuated by order
of Gen. Bragg.
Col. Brown had called to his assist
ance five vessels, all of which had
been driven off 10y the batteries. The
steam.frigate Niagara was almost rid.
died with shot, and the Colorado dis.
abled. Gen. Bragg had declared to
his troops that he would never surrcn-
der alive, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed among the men. On Tues
day, Bragg would engage Col. Brown
in front, and land large force on the
island. SO as to take him in the rear.
1t is generally believed that an ac-
ton has taken place at Pensacols be-
tween our forces and the rebels, and
that Bragg has been whipped, and
Pensacola burned, and probably
Bragg's whole force captured. The
dispatches in the Southern papers
have no apparent end or beginning,
and are very mcagre.

The Brooklyn Times is responsible
for the following

The Brooklyn Times is responsible
for the following
"Capt. Wilkes, the bold and res
possibility assuming Commander Of
the San Jacinto, who caused gun to
be fired across the bows of the British
steamer Trent, brought her to and re-
lieved her Of Mason and Slidcll and
their Secretaries, is now about Sc
years Of age. Consequently, as Jack
Bunsby would say, he was once young
err than he is now. Though every
inch sailor, and not often given to
the melting mood, the blind god once
succeeded in sending Que of bis shafts
clear through his rough sou'wester,
which found a Judgment in his honest
heart. The bow from which the shaft
was sped hung in the eyes Of fair
girl. and straightway the jolly tar fell
head over ears in love. He prosecu-
ted his suit with vigor. The girl was
"a lass who loved a sailor and SO
smiled upon him, and consented to be.
come his wife. But the young sailor
had rival in the son of u respectable
tallow-chandler, well to do, called Sli.
dell, and young Slidell feeling consid-
erably cut up by being cut out, re-
fused to accept the mitten,' but not
having spunk enough TO throw down
the glove to his sailor rival, contented
himself with 'pisoning the mind Of
the stern PARENT Of the fair ono.
until he refused his consent to his
daughters marriage with the bold
Charlie Wilkes, and insisted upon her
giving her hand to young Slidell, which,
after many protestations and the GUS
tomary amount of tears and Mysteries,
she did, and became Mrs. John Slidell.
The bold Charlie Wilkes did not peak
and pine or let his melancholy feed on
his weather-beaten cheeks, but went
to sea and smothered his grief in at
tending to duty and sustaining the
honor of his nations flag, never see-
ing his lady lass again, nor meeting
his successful rival for her hand and
heart. until he saw him stand pris-
oner on board his ship, a traitor to his
country and a rebel against the flag
the honest tar had spent his life de-
Tending. Such is the romance of war.
We congratulate the bold Charlie
upon having at last got more than
