Lying for q Purpose.

" u r.
We find in the editorial columns fthe Graves
town, Texas, News, the subjoined paragraph,
purporting to be an extract of letter from
Philadelphia, dated Feb, 9, 1861;
"Business is perfectly dead and the North
is suffering as she never did before. If war
should come, she will require standing
army of 500, 900, to protect her property and
lives from the hmished peer." 2
This is q specimen of the sort of stuff sent
south from these northern commercial cities,
either by secessionists travelling here or by
commercial toadies who seek their trade. We
defy the world to show anywhere amore
peaceful, contented and orderly people than
are to be found in the northern cities. Urder
all circumstances, and with panics fearful in
their consequences weighing on them, they
have never at any time dreamed of bread
riots or discomfort, well knowing that what
ever their suferings, the government had
nothing to do with them. The iamished poor,
of whom so much is said, are economical and
well to do in the world to a greater degree
than the operatives elsewhere. Business is dull
it is true, but not more so than it has been
before, and it is ridiculous nonsense to say
that the north is suffering as she never did
hitherto. Such fabrications as the boVe are
used to fan the flames of secession, and if they
emenste from northern men the sources ought
to be exposed. NJ american.

A letter from Charleston to the PhiIadel-
phia Inquirer, relates the following;
regret to say that there have been several
stampedes among the negroes lately, and
though the account of them, for some reasons,
has not appeared in the Southern papers, yet
have reason to know what say to be true.
A person connected with the night train Of
the South Carolina Railroad has communi-
Gated 70 me some intelligence which makes
me fear that there is considerable disafsction
amongst the negroes in the center of the
State, and, from what hear, il arises entire
" from the absence from home of their mas
ters, and their consequent ill-treatment BY
oEerseers-men who, never having had ser
wants, know not how to treat them. Ny
sincere and earnest hope is, that the slave
holders viii not long allow themselves to be
the tools Of Charleston politicians, but win
return TO their families and their homes, and
then am certain we need none Of US fesr
violence on the part Of the negroes, for their
devotion to, and trust in, their masters, when
properly cared for and kindly treated, is too
notorious to need mention from me.

From the Charleston Courier.
But Two POstmnsters and Four Collectors
in Seventy-twO Years.

There have been but two Postmasters in
the city of Charleston since the days of
Washington. Gen. Washington appointed
Mr.. Ballot in 1897, who served until his death,
when the present incumbent Mr.. Huger
pronounced Uger) was appointed by Mr..
Monroe. Mr.. Huger is now over 70 years
of Huguenot blood-a gentleman of com
msnding and venerable appearance, about
six feet high, well proportioned, fine Roman
face, full head of hair, and as white as snow,
fine black eye heavy eyebrows, very erect,
and one of the mosthigh-toned gentleman in
all our city. One peculiar trait he has, and
that is he is remarkably fond of the company
of young persons; and whilst they show
great difference to him, no one, however
young, is at all cramped in his society. In
many respects he greatly resembles the late
Gov. Barbour.
We have never had at this port but four
Collectors of the Customs since the formation
of the United States, and one of these Col
lectOrs died soon after being appointed so,
you see, that Carolinians do not show the
same fondness for the Government teat as is
the wont of many of your United States
This does not look much like Office seeking.

Mr. W. E. Foster asked the Secretary of

objection TO lay upon the able Of the House
a copy Of the recent correspondence between
her Majesty's Minister at Washington and
the United States Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, relative to the clearance OF British
vessels ht the port Of Charleston, South Gar
olina! He observed Chat at the port In dues
ton the federal officers of the States had
been superseded, and that Information had
been given to the British Consul by gentle
men protesting to act on behalf of the Con-
yention Of South Carolina. The House would
observe that such a notification placed the
owners and CAPTAINS Of British vessels in con-
sideF bic diiiichlty, inqsmuch as the laws Of
the United States imposed stringent penal
ties for the non nlobseFyance ofits revenue reg

The InaururaI in North caroIlnn.

/ NO LAe-A9 AN0ANA GuA1AAAAAR
The Unionists of the old North State are
pleased with the Inaugural of the President.
The Raleigh Standard says, in the course Of
a long and generally favorable comment:
@We will never submit to The administra-
ton of the government on the principles Of
that party so far as they relate to slavery in
the territories; but while we say this for the
hundredth time, we hold that Justice should
be done to Mr.. Lincoln and his party, and
that he who would deliberately fan the fame
of sectional strife, instead of doing all he can
to put out the fires of discord which threaten
to consume the temple Of the Union, is guilty
of an inexpiable crime. We want peace, not
war. We want Union, not disunion. We want
justice for the South, but we must do Justice
t. the North. We long for light, not darke
ness. We believe that the Union can be pre-
served, and we are willing to bear and for
bear-to watch and Wait-to laboz ina fra
ternal spirit to achieve this most desirable
result When the enemy offers Us the olive

President Davis has vetoed the law recent
" passed by The Congress Of the COnfedera-
ted States to prevent the revival Of the AfFi-
can Slave Trade. What ground he bases bis
veto upon, is nOt stated. The charleston AeT-
curry thinks it unfortunate thai there should
thus early be a conflict between Congress aad
the Executive upon such a subject which is
hsslf the cause q the existence Of the Con-
sedsaoy. With its acsnstonod keenness Of
vision to discover anything which operates 70
tie disadvantage Of slavery, TIE Mefcary. sees
danger in this veto, on the gound that
where's lhe laVs Of Cthe Tnilet Ststeg pun
ish the impoftAti5hs of Afflean slaves as pi-
raey, the Conieaeratsd States make i only a
misdemeanor, and to veto the latter, keeps in
force the former, Hence the veto, 50 far
from taEoring the slave trade, as the Mercury
would dsaite, places Il under stronger ehsck.
President Davis is shreWd enough to see that
the revival Of that aocursed traffic would in
