The UNDER CURRENT IN South CAROLINA.
"A letter from South Carolina, in the Bal.
timore American, after speaking of the gor-
geous promises Of secession oratory. says
These bright phantoms of aowery imag-
ipation take we'll with the masses. They
burn with ZEAL and axe ready to rush into
extremes. But sometimes in small circles
it is suggested, and often it occurs to the
minds OF sober ,hinSing men, vino have
nothing to gain from the favor Of the people,
that after all, disasters and ruin will over
take them in secession. 1t is often asked,
what is the state to do alone and Us SOW
ereign? How will she maintain her posi-
ton among the nations of the earth ? Where
will the money come from to support the
Government There will be no tax on i'm
portations - direct levies will be made-a
poll tax of $25 or $50 will be insufficient
for the purpose, even if that sum could be
collected. South Carolina is very rich
State, but there is here, as everywhere, a
large majority of poorer people, and so
heavy q poll tax would grind them to the
earth. Oppression would be the result, and
ruin, perhaps carnage and bioodshed, would
ensue. These are weighty considerations
and will be regarded. The thinking people
will give them consideration.

The MORAL LAW OF CREDIT.-As q
general rule for just business transact
ton, says the Boston Bulletin, q per-
son should never buy on credit that
which he consumes.
A tanner may properly buy hides on
credit, for his labor does not consume
them +; and the shoemaker may buy
leather on credit, for his labor, too,
adds to its value. But when the shoe
maker has worked up the leather, if he
sells them on credit to customers, then
neither the shoemaker, nor tanner, nor
seller Of hides, has and any direct, val
liable security for debt which has pro-
crossed through the different parties.
The final product is destroyed by its
purchaser. So a farmer may buy land
on credit, because his labor on it adds
to its value. He may purchase grow
ing stock on credit, because his grass
crop is improving it. But when he
goes to store to buy merchandise On
credit, which he consumes, relying on
uncertain crops, and unstable prices to
pay the merchant, then he endangers
his own security and that Of the var
ious classes Of merchants who are de-
pending on each other. Capital, to be
useful, must be employed and as the
labor Of most men is their chief CAPT.
tai, their wants demand its employment:
# the creation Of a debt gives them
that upon which they may pro6tably
expend their labor the debt is q bles-
sing, and for such result only is credit
a useful institution.

The NoBLEsT ROMAN OF THEM ALL"
The New York Times tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of Gen. Scott, in the
notification times of 1888, which may
serve to clear up the foggyness of those
ofceholders who are doubtful whether
to their country or to their State they
owe their first allegiance.
Gen. Scott was at Fort Moultric,
with command of eight hundred men,
and a full complement of officers.
With view to allay some natural an
xiety in his own mind as to the fidelity
Of his officers, he sent for Judge Of
the United States Court, and addressed
him in their hearing as follows
"Judge, I have long ago taken my
oath Of allegiance to the United Safes
Government, but it occurs to me that
in this extraordinary emergency l will
do it again. There is no improperly
in it--and, gentlemen" said he, turn
ing to his officers, cit will do no hurt
to any Of u.s.
The oath was then administered to
every ono present.

c. By the apportionment under the new
census, Iowa will be entitled to five Represen
tatives in the House, thus gaining three
Illinois gains five. Minnesota loses one
These statistics show where the permanent
emigration from the middle States, (Which
as in the case of New York aud other States
lose more or less) has gone. Illinois and
Iowa have received by far the greater share
of all not destined beyond the Missouri river.
These two great States must, at no distant
time stand first in the rank of those of the
west and northwest, in the productions of
the soil, and will attract to their rich prai-
ries hundreds of thousands every decade of
years, There can scarcely arise any emer-
gency of a political character, however Sc
rious, that will have much influence against
the peopling and development of these two
States. They hold the key to the commerce
of this country, and there can be no outlet
from it without rewarding them Wash.

EVEN BONNER ABANDON j. B.-We learn
from the New York Leader, that, owing to
the state of public excitement as to the con-
duct of President Buchanan, Mr.. Bonner, Of
the Ledger, has felt called upon to release
himself from his engagement to publish a
series of essays on public topics from the
President's pen. He writes letter to the
old Public Functionary, which appears in
the Leader. That paper says:
''Mr. Bonner says, in private justification
of his course, that he has received orders in
advance from many hundreds of the most
prominent newspaper dealers throughout
Che country, and from lnany thousands of
his subscribers, to discontinue sending them
the paper from and after the issue of any
number containing any article or essay writ
q by his Excellency the President"

WATER POISONOUS TO BEER.-It is
said that water added to beer properly
made, after it is finished, will make il
more bitter to the taste, and bring GU,
its narcotic qualities. The narcotic
principle Of the hop is so chemically
combined with the sugar and extract in
good beer as to be inert, while diIu-
ton Of the same destroys this combina-
ton and develops the Supplying proper
ties Of the lupulir, or active principle Of
hops. Those who drink malt liquor to
promote health, had better take it in its
stronger forms, like porter or ale, as
they are more likely then to get the in
gradients in proper combination than
in the lighter kinds Of beer.

SPIRITUAL FACTs.-That whis-key
is the key BY which many gain entrance

That brandy brands the noses of all
those who cannot govern their appe-
titles.
That wine causes many to take a
winding way home, and finally a wind
ing sheet.
That punch is the cause of many un-
friendly punches.
That ale causes many ailings, while
beer brings many to their biers.
That champagne is the source of
many real pains.
That gin sings have "slewed" more
than the sings Of old.

For ,the Journal.I
Dissolution Of the Union.

Politically we may not say "the lines are
fallen unto us in pleasant places" but may
we not be hopeful that in the end even the
present great excitement, may be for the
betteri 1t might not be prudent to at
tempt to point out the way in which it
can or will be ultimate in good. But we
may be excused for uttering our convictions
that power greater and above all human
power and wisdom has been directing events
towards the ultimate extinction of that
bhghting, whitening curse-human slavery.
No matter who the tool, nor the end ar
rived at by that tool, every move on the po-
litical chess-board for the last six years has
been move in the right direction. In 1854,
when Stephen A. Douglas, inspired by no
higher, better or more statesman-like mo-
tiyes than those Of subserviency to his
own interests, by increasing his popularity
with the slaveocracy, who are, and have
long been, the rulers in this land, with on
eve single to the first and highest position in
the world, was instrumental in the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise, the first great
move was made. The results of that move,
briefly stated, have been the organization OF
the Republican party, the election OF two
republican speakers in the House Of Repre-
sentatives the election of Republican Gov
ernors and United States Senators in nearly
all the Free States, with the way fairly open
for the election of more; and lastly the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin to the Pres
idency and Vice. Presidency of the United
States. There have been minor movements,
such as the Gaming of Sumner, the attempts
to force slavery on Kansas, the persecution
Of John Sherman and other leading Repub
licans in Congress last winter, the action o.
the Senate committee in investigating the
Harper's Ferry affair, and prosecutions Of
private unofending individuals who happen
ed to be soiourning on Southern soil; but
the repeal:of the Missouri restriction may
be said to have been the entering WEDGE
Any one who did not greatly deplore the
election of James Buchanan to the Presiden-
cv in 1856 need not do it now Each of his
weak efforts, though aimed for Indifferent
purpose, have seemed to bring forth fruit for
the good of the Republican party, and con-
sequently for the good fthe country.
It would even seem that the eyes OF the
ablest men OF the South are blinded-may
wa mt hone mercifuIly blinded 2--to the
situation Of affairs. Let Rhett, Yancey,
Toombs, Davis, Benjamin, Iverson, Slide!l
& Go. take calm and dispassionate view
of the state of the country, and they must
acknowled ge Ito themselves, at least-that
they have everything to lose and nothing to
gain from dissolution Of the bonds OF Union
between the States.

ABOUT Notwithstanding to an
article in the last number Of Harpers'
Magazine, bedbugs are an American
invention, and have been exported from
this country to all parts Of Europe, cx-
cepting Ireland, where bedbug is nev-
er to be found. The insect made its
appearance in England as early as
1903, when two noblemen were "punc-
tured' by them, and the physicians
were called in great haste. The bug
is parasite of the bat family, and Is
so tenacious of life that no degree Of
cold or heat can effect it. Freeze one
until you can break it in two, thaw the
pieces and they will revive. Freeze the
eggs until CONCEALED in ice let them
thaw and they will hatch again as usu-
al. Boil both insect and egg and they
will revive as soon as cool. If they
can get nothing to eat, they live and
propagate on what nourishment they
may derive from the atmosphere.
