THINGS IN SOUTH CARoLISa.--The Charles.
ton correspondent Of the Baltimore Ameri.
can writes;
"Your remedy will never be found in se-
cession. You have the example Of South
Carolina before you for this. She was TO
flourish as maritime and commercial State
within month after declaring her inlepen-
dence, and what is the fact Her port is
virtually blockaded. No vessels arrive, be.
cause the merchants Of other countries and
States fear to send them. They fear trouble.
danger and loss. They know well enough
that the insurance companies do not insure
against the hazards Of revolution, and there
fore the sargoes and vessels remain at home.
The practical result of South carolina seces
sion, for the present, is to drive. all trade to
the ports Of New York and other cities.
where there is no risk and where there is no
revolution. Even with freedom from duties
vessels from foreign ports would not prefer
Charleston as market at this time to New
York, for in the latter city they are always
sure Of good profit. while in the former .
larger 0ne nav be attended with al the dan.

the obnoxious features Of the Fugitive Slave
Law, and the repeal Of any Personal Liber-
ty Bills subversive OF the fugitive law would
thus be secured; at the same time the South
ern States should repeal their laws in contra
vention of the constitutional rights Of citi-
zens Of free States, who cannot be satisfied
with less, and who will insist upon their
constitutional rights in every State and Ter.
ritory Of this Confederacy. These they
cheerfully accord to citizens Of the Southern
States. Determined to do no wrong, they
will not contentedly submit to any wrong.
and are unawed BY their threats. They de-
mand the employment all the constitution
al powers of the Federal Government TO
maintain and preserve the Union; reject the
whole theory Of secession as a palpable yio-
latiun of the Constitution, and cannot con.
sent to the exercise Of any power unless IN
der its sanction. The integrity Of this Tn.
ion--its oneness and indivisibility-- must be
preserved.

Hatteras Inlet.

This inlet, into which nearly all the
prizes which the Southern privaIeers have
brought in. have been carried.is described
in letter from the Roanoke, which is one
of the vessels blockading Charleston, as
follows: ....
''It is an important entrance to Pamlico
and Albemarle Sounds, a point Of much
interest, and l am only surprised that our
government does no, pay more attention
to it. From there vessels can run direct
to Norfolk via The Dismal Swamps and
if l had my say would occupy the Point
with Union troops, il possible, and have q
vessel OF war there to project them or
carry them off il necessary. The Point
is on ab"rren strip Of sand beach. many
miles from the main land. that forms the
outside Of the Sound, and with a good
sand battery,wilh long ranged rifled guns,
would be as inpregnable as Fortress Mon
roe, from an attack either by land or
water from the Confederate troops. and by
holding it would give our rebel friends a
mighty sight of uneasiness. This is my
programme

spects with such success. ,-.... ....

Vessels Confis iscated in New York.

The proclamation Of the Presiden',
issued on the 10Th Of August, giving no.
tice of the intended con6scation. according
10 the Act. Of property owned in Rebel
States. was carried into operation yester.
day, in quite an unexpected manner to
some of the parties concerned. There
are. or rather were,i seems. about twenty.
five vessels OF one sort or another in this
port, owned in part at the South. This
property. in accordance with the procla-
nation, became liable TO confscalion at
the expiration Of fifteen days, and that
limo had elapsed on Saturday, at mid
night.
There have been attempts TO protect
similar property from coniiscaiion. in one
way or another, but the owners OF these
twenty five vessels seem TO have relied
upon the laws delay, or the delay Of its
officers. and permitted the time to pass
within which il was possible to get their
property into other hands for its security
MIR. Andrews. the Surveyor, did no:
choose TO wait and give them any farther
opportunity 10 evade the law than he was
compelled TO. and yesterday seized the
vessels. The value Of that portion which
will be con6scated to the Government will,
no doubt. amount 10 scme hundreds ol

Comm encement at Oberlin.

OBERLiN. Aug. 3ist, 1861.
Ed. DKMocRAT The annual COM
mencement exercises Of .Oberlin College
have Just closed. The times evidently
had much TO do in keeping away people
from abroad, rs the number outside the
church, denotng the amount Of overflow,
was considerably less than last year.
Sunday forenoon we were favored by
a sermon from Edward Bcecher, OF Gales.
burg, ILL.,, wherein he set forth suffering
TO be a divinely .appoin ed law Of the
Universe. In the afternoon, the Bacca-
laureate Address was delivered by Prof
Morgan.
Monday p. NJ, we listened TO the An.
niversary exercises oi the Phi Kappa Pi
Rev. Doctor Beecher lec,ured before the
College Societies on Monday evening"
We never listened TO speaker Of SO much
power before. Rev. Mr.. Brown, OF New.
ark, N. j. delivered the Concio ad C2eruna.

On Tuesday, at two p. NJ, the sun
shone auspiciously on the maideps, in
white and blue. who marched from tina
chapel to the large church, TO listen to
the graduating essays of the fourth year
ladies. Everybody seemed in good
spirits, and the exercises passed off pleas
antly. The essays were well written. and
as the ladies' took their places on the
stand, to receive their diplomas, we
thought Obcrlp might well be proud o
the work she is doing for the ladies OF hel
school. Tuesday evening Rev. Mr.. Rob.
inson, OF Harrisburg, Pa, addressed the
Alumni "Christianity Of the Present
Age"
On Wednesday A. NJ. came the exer-
cises Of the College department. We
have to say of them that they were most
excellent. .t r.~.r.. ..
Among the thirty names on the pro-
gramme. six were announced absent in
the Federal army. There were seven
lady graduates vino favored the multitude
with productions Of very high literary
merit. Miss Fairchild's poem, "The
Soldiers Returning" was very fine in.
deed. Among the number of of'graduates
was Geauga boy, who did great credit
TO himself 10 an oration entitled '.Result:
OF Revolution" There were Eve gradu
ates in the Theological department.
There WAS great anxiety felt lest SONS
OF the brave soldiers who went from Ober
lin, might be dying while their class
mates were receiving college honors.-

tho opening of bostilitics, you have scnt up
wards of thirty thousand men into tho fold,
armed and equipped. BY tho magnitude Of
your forco you have assisted tho loyal men
Of Kontucky in protecting tho State from
tho domination Of tho rebels. Tho presence
of your troops and tho victories in which
they shared in Western Virginia, hive pro-
served il for tho Union, and secured il as
barricado against threatened invasion of
your own soil, thus maintaining unbroken
tho peace of border State many hundred
miles in extent, and protecting the heart of
tho republic from tho immediate havoc of
war.
Tho Fodoral Government again calls on
YOU for soldiers. The late disaster ut Man

The Defence of Cincinnati.

The citizens OF Cincinnati are much agi.
tated regarding the safety Of their city.
the aspect Of affairs in Kentucky render
ing it necessary to prepare for any emer-
gency along the southern border Of Ohio.
Large shipments OF artillery have recently
been made. some OF the guns being OF
large calibre. BY a recent order, Camp
Dennison has been made camp of in
slruc,ion. Brig. Gen. o. NJ. Mitchell has
been ordered TO Cincinnati to take com.
mand. and all preparations are being
made 10 put tie city in a complete state
Of derense. There is no Norihern city
that the rebels down the Mississippi have
a greater hatred for than Cincinnati, and
none that they would more gladly reduce
to desolalion, If it was within their power.
The preparations that are being made will,
however. speedily relieve all anxiety.
