ARRIVAL OF MARYLAND RECRUITS.
THE SLAVE oLrGARcm-THE EFFECT OF RE-
BELIION.

From Our Own Correspondent
CHARLESTON, March "a, 1861.
hin Haslett, the notorious Baltimore thief, ar.
rived here last night with recruits for the South
ern army. The illustrious kDuck is staying at
first class hotel, and receiving the hospalltes Of
his friends. 1t is through the fundamentally Of
this scoundrel and others of his class that the
hundreds of Door wretches who are now suffer
ing from want upon the islands have been in
duced to enlist in this reasonable army. Utterly
devoid as he and his psls are of the first princi
pies of truth, aud honor, and duty, they can, by
a course Of lying, impose upon tho anwary aud
ignorant. One would imagine that, having es-
capped the State of Maryland gallows, which they
have Justly earned, they would have been unwil-
ing to risk chance of trial in United States
Court. They are, however, worthy of the Pro-
Slavery cause and the cause of them. l cannot
leave this subject without again calling the atten-
ton of Government TO it. The parties brought
from Baltimore and New-York are Men entirely
ignorant of the English language, who have been
made the dupes of designing yagabonds or else
they are boys who have been decoyed from home
1t is necessary that some steps should be taken
Immediately to put an end 10 this illegal, nay,
reasonable recruiting. Let the consprators

lett 90 to the State Prison for the rest of their
lives. The world and the cause Of humanity will
suffer nothing from their loss
The many rumOrs which were aAoat, and even
credited in official circles, that part Of the gar
rison at Fort Sumter would leave in the COlum-
bia on Saturday, were without foundation. TIE
steamtug Planter was, as l informed you, sent
to Sumter's wharf. No men, however, left the
Fort, and the Columbia steamed out Of the har.
Dor without them. The gossips now have it that
the Marion, which sails on Wednesday, will
take them. Meantime, the stars and stripes are
floating proudly to the breeze from the center Of
the harbor of Charleston, and for the honor Of
our country may we not yet hope that they shall
not be hauled down in dishonor at the bidding
Of rebellious miscresnts.
i can scarcely give your readers clearer idea
of the unscIupulous baseness Of slave oGgarchy
than by repeating a universally-accePted trusm
among CharlestOnians. 1t is this: "a gentleman
is never punished in South Carolina" What
gentleman Is, shall DO explained from their die
tum, and not mine. The two most important
attributes Of gentleman are: "To own nggers,"
" and do nothing himself" Of course, there are
sOlse men who own niggers, but also work them
selves; they are not gentlemen. There are iome
who neither own niggers, nor work themselves;
they are only lOafers. The combination of the
two attributes sfpLen Of, as Far W l can learn,
makes the Gentleman. There have been more
murders committed by this class Of men in
Charlestoh during the last twenty years than by
all other classes combined, but never has there
been one hung Burkmyer he very last in.
