The Reckoning with south CarOlin'

The Reckoning with south Carolina.
From the New York World.
The iron is entering the soul of South
Carolina, and men rejoice. Well may
they. Not for revenge Revenge is a
passion fit for devils only. Not because
there is divine instinct 10 the human
breast that loves justice-that finds pleasure
in righteous retrioution. The invasion of
South Carolina causes peculiar satisfaction,
for the reason that it is the gulitiest OF all
the rebel States. 1, gave birth to the
master traitor Calhoun--idolizad him living
and canonized him when dead. 1t plotted
disunion for more than thirty years, twice
made desperate effort to compass it by
open resistance, and was the head and front
OF the present yet more formidable move
ment. 1t was South Carolina that first
began to arm; that first shut up the Fed
eral courts that first Withdrew her mem.
bers from Congress that first passed an
ordinance of secession that first laid hands
upon the Federal property that first fired
upon the national flag, and opened the war.
Had it not been for South Carolina, in all
earthly probability, this impious rebellion
would have never existed at ALL 1t is said
of Satan that he "drew" one-third OF the
angels after him in foul revolt, so it may be
said of this archapostate in the family of
American States-she dreao third of them
away by her own original and devilish
wickedness. .,. -,5v, a., .r. .
Of course all true men rejoice that retri.
button now reaches her. The regret is
that it has been delayed so long. For sew
en- months since she poured that storm Of
fire upon the devoted little garrison, she
has remained untouched. Other States
who have followed, or been urged to follow,
her teachings and example-Virginia, Ma
ryland, Missouri, Kentucky-have felt the
scourge OF war, but she has all the while
been jubilant in her security. Yet the
punishment, though long deferred, will be
all the more terrible, now that the full time
for it has come. No General has yet been
invested with so large discretionary powers
as be who is at the head of the army Just
landed upon her shores and neither be nor
they are in a temper to, ,palter or temporize
with her blackest, treason. Nothing but
speedy and unconditional submission will
save South Carolina from loss of proper

has been raised In the East for Missouri vol

The Piedmont Affair,

AL sorts of rumors are aaoat concerning
the rebels in the vicinity Of Piedmont The
most reliable Is, that they are about 1000
strong, and moving towards Piedmont It Is
apprehended that they will take possession Of
the branch (Coal) road, from Piedmont to
Frpstburg, and barn the bridges. The report
that the Mary lind force, that defended bridge
q over the Potomac, were cut to pieces, Is
contradicted. It is now said that but two
were killed. It is probable that the reb-
els occupy the country from Romney to
the vicinity Of Piedmont, and have thrown out

Of our constitutional liberty. It was my good
fortune this afternoon to get upon the train
that vas bearing the remains Of Major Win

home Of the valiant soldier. Arriving at the

procession, consisting Of four companies Of
military, College students and citizens, was IN
readiness Along the line Of march, to the
Cemetery, the houses were very generally
draped in mourning the streets were crowded
with sympathIzing friends It was not the
vacant stare Of ordinary military funerals, but
the thoughtful, emqtiye expression Of a city IN

only in patriotic, but in religious airs, felt It

dropping by the way.

Major Winthrop was in the direct line Of de-

It vas fitting That the first offering Of Con

our government should be descendant OF
that first Governor Of the State. He was also

Dlsg11ceful Affair at Camp Denntson
"A EiEhI and Several Men Killed.

From private source, We have moro infor-
nation Of the deplorable affair that took nlace
at Camp Dennison on Sunday, 18th Inst, than
has get BEEN published. A fight occurred be-
tween members Of the 9Th aud 9Th Regiments,
which resulted fatally to several men. The
difficulty originated In an attempt by party
Of men belonging to one Of these regiments
to pass the guard Of the other The sentinel,
OF course, stopped the intruders, who, being
intoxicated, attacked and knocked him
down, infficting severe wound upon his head.
The sentinel lay upon the ground and fired "a
revolver We bcli@ve,) at hi9 assai13nts- Three
Of the attacking party were fatally wounded
BY the sentinel's IRE. The fight threatened to
become general between the two regiments,
and so alarming did matters become that the
7th Regiment was ordered under arms, and
moved to the scene to quell the tualult, The
Seventh advanced ut double quick time, with
guns at 8 charge, and was halted near the
fighters. Fortunately this moyemen. was
elective, and the rioters dispersed at the
tight OF the Seventh. The aH4ir was already
