MR Holden: In that part of the town where the
writer Of this resides the complaint is general that
'sonething is the matter Nth the gaa" 1t does not
burn with any thing like the brilliancy it formerly
did. In the house Of the writer, it requires two
burners now to afford the light formerly given BY
one Others say the same in reference to their
houses The attention Of all in town, who have gas
fixtures is called to this matter IL this difficulty is
local. then it may perhaps be attributed to some Oh
struction or leakage of the pipes in the locality

resign his commission. The South Carolina Com

backed by their Convention, with which they are
in constant secret communication, will stand firm.
Should the Administration refuse to dealw An

will Immediately return to South Carolina affirm

cannot tolerate

DEAR EDITOR Secession is now the topic through
out the whole South, some for and some against it.
feel disposed to cast in my little mite among the
rest for what it is worth do not think it the
wsest course for the Southern States to secede at
this time 1t is very grave subject and should be
well weighed in all its consequences as far our
human abilities can be brought to bear But think
that it is time for action in all the Southern States
and let that action be unit-that is, to prepare
for secession, for the way things progressing Sc
cession will come at last. Let us try every thing
that is Constitutional. consider it no breach on
the Constitution to do our own shipping. Let the
Legislature of each State make appropriation for
the purpose Of building steamvcssels to lines of
steamers to Europe and then, instead of trading at
the North, let US do own trading with the world.
Let also establish foundries in the South to cast
our own cannon and let us make every thing neces-
sary to fight with. .. =.
1t is evident the South has not been the cause of
this rupture. We have never asked the North to
live after the manner of the South as they have ask
ed u.s. The abolitonkts Of the North have been az
ter us for years for living according to own
Fixing Now, who is in fault? Why, the North.
Fellow citizens, let US endeavor to live more within
ourselves. Let us send our cotton, tobacco wheat,
-four and other products to the European markets,
bring back goods at cheap rates. and let learn to
depend on our own resources. Why, Sir, it seems
to me with all the advantages the South has, she
ought to be nerved to action at once Wehave been
servants to the North long enough. We have made
the North fat, and she kicks. | sympathize with
friends in the North, but as they unable to
help us any longer, must take care of ourselves
if we can. Don't secede now. Let us try other
means first and if we are compelled to secede let u.

The news from the federal City is by no means
cheering It seems that excited Cabinet meetings
have recently been held and that Secretaries Thomp,
son and Floyd have resigned 1t is stated that Maj
Anderson's removal to Fort Sumpter was in viola
ton of orders and that Mr. Floyd resigned because
of the Presidents refusal to remand him to his orr
ginal position at Fort Moultrie.
The government finds it difficult if not impossi-
BILE to borrow money at any thing like fair rates.
considerable sum has been borrowed at twelve per
cent; and the latest statement is that an offer has
been made to take five millions at that rate
The Senate and House committees, raised to de-
wise plans to settle the differences between the North
and South, have thus far been unable to agree. 1t
is stated that they will ask to be discharged
~ We shall publish in our next a very able
and interesting letter from Charles Henry Foster,
Esq., formerly of the Murfreesborough Citizen on the
state of the country. Mr.. Foster was one of the
delegates from this State to the Baltimore Conven-
ton, ard was one of those who seeded; but in Sc
ceiling and supporting Mr.. Breckenridge he did not
for one moment suppose he was arraying himself
with the secessionists and against the Union. On
the contrary in supporting Mr.. Breckenridge he re-
gardcd himself standing strong Constitutional
Union ground. This was the sentiment no doubt
of nine.tenths of all those in this State who voted
for Mr.. Breckenridge. ........

der the Of his family physician, he reached this
