A PRETTY ROMANCE SPo1LED.-Thc
+" gallant" correspondent of the New
York Times went a little too far when he
paradcd the neutrality-suspicious. which
he professed to receive from Col. Maxcy
Gregg. All about tho "fair lady" may
be strictly true, (J but certain are we
that this vcracious correspondent is to-
tai stranger to Colonel Gregg. Colonel
Gregg did not know there was such a
biped in the city until the advent of his
letter, and we are of opinion the lnowl-
edge which he now possesses will not
strew roses in his path. Col. Gregg's af
fability is everywhere acknowledged but
what he might could, would, or should do,
in an emergency like this, we arc sure
we don't l1now.-CharzeSton Mercury.

shall be taken for instructions to this con-
vention to pass an act of immediate seces-
sion, and the Convention shall at once
pass an ordinance, dissolving the connec-
ton existing between the State of Arkan-
sas and the Federal Government, known
as athe United States ofAmerica;" )" but ifa
majority Of all the legal votes have been
cast for cooperation then this Conven-
tion shall immed diatcly take such steps as
may be deemed proper to further coop
GRAFTON with tho border, unscceded slave
States, in efforts to secure permanent
and satisfactory adjustment of the section
al controversies disturbing the country"
The Little Rock True Democrat, of the
21st, says:
ain this settlement of an aggravated
disagreement, the cscccssionists lose only in
delay. As certain as the first Monday in
August next rolls around, the people will
vote Arkansas out of the Union and into
the Southern Confederacy by an over
whelming majority"

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED Tho 81
raaaah Republican of Friday thus clears
up the mystery of the schooner which
was fredinto by our batteries
aSinec copying the article from the
Charleston Courier, the vessel fired into
from the forts on Morris Island has arri-
we'd in our port, and we arc enabled to
give full particulars of the affair.
"The Schooner is R. H. Shannon, Cap
tain Marts, of Boston, and she was bound
for, this city with cargo of ice, consign-
ed to A. Haywood. On Wednesday she
was shroudcd for many hours in dense
fog, during which she drifted through
mistake over Charleston Bar. Soon after
the fog lifted, the captain, not knowing
his whereabouts, found himself nearly
abreast of the fort on Morris Island, and
while cogitatigg over his latitude, he was
greeted with salute from the fort.
"Ho Immediately run up his colors-
the stars and stripes-but that demon
stration seemed an unsatisfactory answer
TO that summons. Several shots (thirty
twos) were fired into his rigging, one Of
which passed through his mainsail and
another through his topsail. In the
midst of his dilemma, not knowing where
he was nor the object of this hostile dem
onstration, boat from fort Sumter came
to his relief, and being made acquainted
with the facts, he lost no time in putting
to sea.
aThc schooner suffered no material
damage from the shots, though one of
them came uncomfortably near the head
of one the crew. Captain Marts thinks
there is no mistake about the Morris
Island boys being excellent marksmcn."
GEN. EN.BEAUREGARD.-The following COM
plimentary resolution, introduced by Mr..
Hanckel, has been unanimously adopted
by the Convention:
Resolred, That the thanks of this Con-
vcntion are hereby respectfully rendered
to Gen. Beauregard, and to the officers
acting under him, for the very delightful
and highly interesting visit to the forti-
fications in Charlesto:: harbor, on Satur.
day last, afforded 70 this Convention by
their courtesy"

CoNsERvA1IsM.-Nothing affords us
more pleasure, whether as citizcn or a
public journalist, than to note signs Of a
returning spirit of conservatism among
the people Of tho Southern States. The
tendency to lnobocratic rule has been the
bane of American Government. In the
North more especially-whcre there has
been less conservatism than at the South
Republican, Government must soon end
in total failure, unless q wise spirit of re-
form speedily manifests itself: Above all
of the States in America, South Carolina
has been conspicuous for her conserva-
tive Institutions What inestimable bless
ings have resulted from her steady ad-
herence to fixed and fundamental princi-
plies! It is gratifying to observe that a
most wholesome reform in the judiciary
system has begun in Georgia. The
change does not go far enough-accord-
ing to Carolina vicws-but as it is, it is
wise reform. The idea of the ministers
of the law mingling in all the corruption
of fpopular elections for office, is revolving
to all sound and conservative principles.
One step is here gained. We hope the
good work: may continue, and that Geor-
gia will soon have her judicial system
purged Of al it's prenicious errors.-Ne'c-
berry Conservatist.

A minister as much distinguished for his
eccentricity as for piety, dined one day
with the senior deacon ofhis church.
The deacon, who was in the habit of
asking blcssAgs ola wearisome length,
was particularly prolix, and paused to
gain new supply of words. The in
slant he stopped, the minister sat down
and commenced rafting his knife and
fork. The worthy deacon looking down,
exclaimed, doctor! Doctor! I'm not

ted:" replied the Doctor; "its no time to

~ ua.,.8f STATE CoNvEN-
charleston correspondent of
The Ss% York Herald pays the following
ggcompliment to our State Convention now
sitting in Charleston:
"a Your correspondent has attended
many public assemblagcs, has seen the
collected wisdom of the nation in the
Senate Chamber of the United States, in
the Hall of the House of Representatives,
in the Legislatures of number OF the
Eastern, Middle and Western States. lie
has performed official duty in the United
States Senate, in the House, in the l4egis-
lures of Maine, New Hampshire, lfassa-
chusetts, New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvani.l. Ohio and Illinois, and in innu-
merable public conventions; and candor
compcls him to say he never beheld a
body of men in either of those assemble
ges that could surpass, collectively, in per-
sonal appearance, in dignity, in that sol
id and distinctive attribute of the .Ameri-
can character-indcpendence-the body
he has this day beheld assembled for the
purpose of adopting the Constitution of
the Confederate States of America
There was not mean looking man
among them. The physiognomies Of the
miser, the spendthrift, the braggart, the
thoughtlcss, the dolt, the demagogue,
could nowhere be seen. 1t was, in short,
q body of men who were born, who were
educated and who were designed ty Prov
idcncc to achieve great things They
were not all statesmen, although there
were many; they we're not all politicians,
although there were manyof that class;
they were not all planters, although many
of that class; they were not alllawyers, or
merchants, ,orsoldiers, or manufacturers, OF
mechanics, or doctors, although there
were several of each class; but, as body.
they presented as fine combination of
the true American character as was ever
congregated within four walls on the
American continent. The deliberations
of such mon must be attended with tri-
umphant results; and South Carolina,
with the members of this Convention as
her representatives, may wcllrank among
the first in mind, as she has been the first
in fact, in the revolution which has sccur-
ed the second independence Of her own
and sister States"

Secretary of War, Mr. Jamison, in it, and
