THE dispatches, although made up to a
South Carolina pattern, indicate with un-
mistakable certainty that the Secession farce
Is about played out. A slight symptom of
returning honesty on the part Of the Presi-
dent has put all Seeessiondom in tremor.
1t is evident that the chivalry had not
counted upon the possibility of such thing;
and as the "Southern heart fired in proper
tion as the Administration was cool, so the
same inflammable organ cools down as the
temperature of the Administration rises. A
few days and, even in the minds Of the
most timid and conservative of our fellow
citizens, the Secession harlequinade will
stand by the side of the great military
achievement Of Governor Wise in sustain
ing the State of Virginia while it hung John
Brown-its rival in all the elements of the
ridiculous.

The secession nInIeot.

The striking manner in which language
adapts itself to the character Of the people,
is shown by the different ways in which the
transfer of the steamer Marion to South Caro-
lima, is announced. A dispatch from Charles
ton, published yesterday, stated that "a large
steamer called the Marion, of the Charleston
and New York line, had been purchased by
South Carolina, and ordered to be raced for
q man of war"
This sounded like vigorous Government
with full exchequer. A dispatch from the
Captain of the Marion, to the owner at New
York, notified them that she had been seized
by the Government of South Carolina, for
State service.
The Captain is Northern man. The diff
ference is in the local dialects. The au-
thoriries probably told him to charge it
which is a purchase, of course, and at his
own price,

Consolation Under AmIction. .

The Commercial announces that the Post
Office advertising of the list of uncalled-for
letters has been awarded to the PRESS, ithav-
ing been established by evidence according
to law, that it has larger circulation than
the Commercial, which was the only paper
that competed with the Pass. In another
column it publishes certificates to show its
circulation outside the city, and on that
showing it declares that its circulation out
side the city is greater than that of any other
paper.
This seems to be more an affair of logic
than of figures. The legal evidence required
in awarding the Postofiice advertising, is of
the city circulation. The Press showed a
larger city circulation than the Commercial.
Therefore the Commercial argues that the
Commercial has larger country circulation
than that Of the Pass, of which it knows
nothing. Having been beaten in trial, it
has made change Of Vsnue, so as to have
the contest all to itself. OF course that
makes sure thing Of it.
Still, the Commercial may circulate better
outside, where that concern is not SO well
known. We have no wish TO disparage its
circulation. And usually, we rather admire
its logic. But inasmuch as it makes a state
ment directly affecting our business, we
must say that it is difficult TO see into the
logic that because the Commercial is wanting
in circulation here, ii must have = surplus
somewhere else. II is safer to take the cir
eulation as far as il has been established,
as a ratio for the rest

MELANCHOLY DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA-
Terrible SuferingS Of the Vetim.-Au un-
fortunate gentleman of Boston, Mr.. George
Tappan, died there ON Sunday morning,
after suffering the most frightful agonies for
three days, the victim of hydrophobia He
was bitten on the lip by pet dog about two
months ago but the wound was so slight,
that the puncture of the dogs tooth could
hardly be distinguished. When the symp-
toms of hydrophobia appeared on Thursday
last, four Of the best physicians in Boston
were called in to consult upon the case.
Every remedy that circumstances suggested
was applied to alleviate the symptoms, but
they all felt the uselessness of remedies. 1t
was q strongly marked and undoubted case
of hydroPhobia, rapidly fastening to fatal
result.
During Friday night, at intervals, it re-
quired several men 10 hold Mr.. Tappan dur
ing the spasams, and on Saturday morning
it was found necessary to send to the police
Office for policemen with manaeles TO secure
him to the bedstead, so violent were the con-
tortions, to prevent him from bruising him-
self or doing injury to those around him.
While in the spasms, he seemed endowed
with the strength of giant, but in the in
terVals of exhaustion between each, he grew
weaker and weaker, until death relieved him
from his torments. He left a widow and
two children.

The Threepenny CbivaIry,

We have often had occasion to commend
the frugality of the South Carolina chivalry.
In the very fury of their just indignation at
Southern rights, they never lose sight of the
main chance. We forget. The subject nat
urally runs into enlarged expression. They
did forget once. When the South Carolina
Representatives left Washington, and turned
their backs on Union in which they could
no longer exist with honor, they forgot to
take little balance of stationery that was
due them from the twenty-five dollars worth
which is allowed each member.
But when they arrived at Charleston,
amid the booming cannon which hailed the
birth ofa new Empire, and amid the terrific
and increasing excitement which constantly
comes from there by telegraph, they be-
thought them of the paper and quills, and
sealing-wax, and envelopes, and peradven-
ture of Congress-knife, abandoned to the
enemy. And they sent back by the South
Carolina Commissioners an order for them
and, for the occasion, they resumed their
allegiance to the United States, and their
oaths to support its Constitution, while they
signed the order as members of the Congress
of the United States.
And now it is stated that the Commits
sioners, whose splendid commencement of
housekeeping excited great hopes in the
Southern society at the capital, although
they were very exact in securing every quill,
steel-pen, envelop stick of sealing wax,
box of sand, and wafer, for their seeded
brethren, left all their bills for their house
keeping and theif hospitality behind them.
The exact line between Federal and State
Jurisdiction has always been hard to define.
1t was left to the South Carolina mind to
reduce it to precise standard. Allegiance
to the Union holds when there is any thing
to receive. When it comes to paying, State
independence superYenes.

THE Commercial announces that the award
of the letter list was made to the PESNY
Pass, as the paper having the largest city
circulation. The PENNY Press was changed
to the DAILY Pass when it came into the
hands of the present proprietors, about ten
months ago, and is sold for one cent. This
is about as near as the Commercial ever
catches up to the news. 1t did not become
aware of the existence of the DAILY PREss
until it was beaten by it in circulation.
Some time next year it will have the change
in the name, "by special dispatch exclusively
the Commercial" Such is enterprise"

A FAMOUS PoET TURNED PAIsTER.-A
correspondent Of the London AthsReHm
says that Robert Browning, the poet who
has long been known as a profound student
of art, has turned his attention to "practical
art" from which we should infer that he
has become painter. Mr.. Browning is an
enthusiastic admirer Of our countryman,
William Page, and some laudatory criticisms
on his works, which were published in the
English journals, were from Mr.. Brown
ing's pen.

NTemornbio and Beaurlfui incident Al

Memorubl0 and Benutifui Incident nj
Fort Sumter.
The Baltimore American has the following
story;
One Of the Baftimoreans who recently re-
turned from Fort Sumter details an impress.
i've incident that 5ook place there on Major
Anderson taking possession. 1t is known
that the American flag brought away from
Fort Moultrie was raised at Sumter pre-
cisely at noon on the 27sh ultimo, but the
incidents of that flag raising have not been
related. II was a scene that will be a
memorable remiuiscence in she lives Of those
who witnessed It.
A short time before noon Major Anderson
assembled the whole of his litue force, with
the workmeu employed on the fort, around
the foot of the flagstaff. The national en-
sign was attached to the cord, and Major
Anderson holding the end of the lines in
his hands, knelt reverently down. The Off
GERS, soldiers and men clustered around,
many of them on their knees, all deeply i'm
pressed with the solemnity Of the scene.
The chaplain made an earnest prayer-such
an appeal for support encouragement and
mercy as one would make who felt that
"man's extremity is Gods opportunity"
As the earnest solemn words of the
epeakerc ceased, and the men responded Amen
with a fervency that perhaps they never be-
fore experienced, Major Anderson drew the
"Star Spanged Banner" up to the top of
the staff, the band broke out with the
national dir of "Hail Columbia" and loud
and exultant cheers, repeated again and
again, were given by the officers, soldiers
and workmen. eff" said the narrator,
"South Carolina had at that moment at
tackled the fort, there would have been no
hesitation upon the part of any man within
it about defending that flag"

IT SEEMS that while Mississippi goes out,
she is willing TO allow the Union TO carry
the mails in her territory the same as before.
This is very kind in Mississippi, and it is to
be hoped will be properly appreciated by the
General Government which has been all
along paying handsome annual sum for
the privilege. Stamps will probably be re-
ceiyed as usual.

BADINAeE ABOUT THE KING OF NAPLES
The King of Naples is still confined to his
castle, in which he has been laid up now for
some time. He is still suffering from vio-
lent blow dealt to him by one Garibaldi on
his crown. His recovery is extremely un-
certain almost as uncertain, we should say,
as the recovery of his throne.
