TIE IRE OF MAKoMET KINDLED.-When
the Koran was first published, traveller re-
turning from Persia to Arabia, brought with
him some Persian romances, which he trans
lated for his countrymen, who did not hesi-
tate to declare them more delightful and
edifyiDg than even the moral lessons of their
Prophet. This SO exasperated Mahomet, that
he declared q war of determination against
ell such works, as the productions of Satan,
designed by that parsonage TO secure as
many as possible for his own dominions-a
war, one ofwhose results, and by no means the
worst, was the burning of the famous Alex
andrine Library; which was soon followed
by the destruction of all the ancient records
of the Persian Empire. Only two ancient
Persian works of any historical Importance
survived this destruction-one was Pilpdys .
Fables, the other part of history of Persia,
in the Pehleyian or vulgar dialect, compiled
by order Of NushirYan, the frst monarch
whom historians tell us was the founder OF
a college, and who reigned at the close OF
the sixth century.

Walter D. Iladdocks, first officer Of the
bark IHaian Queen makes this statement IA
the New York Tfi6nss;. ...,e, ..--- -....s.
In january last the Indiaa Queen arrivei
at ST. Marks Florida, from Aspinwal, for 4
cargo Of cotton. Ths second officer and my
self were taken down with Chagres fever,
and were sent ashore TO the Marine Hospital
This IL a neat brick and stone two-stofy
building, which cost the United States 800
600, and Is the only good building in, the
place. The physician to the Hospital was
violent Secessionist, and delegate to the
Secession Convention. After we had been
a few days in the Hospital, the physician
came home from the Convention, and told
rs that the State had seeded, and turned rs
ont Of the Hospital. 4 have paid Marine
Hospital dues for twenty-five years, aud this
was the first time that had ever had occa-
sionto rtceivean benefit from these humane
institutions, established by the Government,
but supported by seamen. Being thus Or
dered out Of what considered my home
while an invalid, was obliged to pay $50
for my expenses while there sick. The ply
sician said he thought it we'll for the South
ern States to remain in the Union SO long as
they had the Government in their hands;
but as they had now lost control of Il, they
would break up the Union. He thought as
the United States had now no further use for
the Hospital, they would give that and other
public works in the State up to Florida.
The Indian Queen lay about half a mile
from land, though some ten miles below the
town. We had in our crew seven colored
men-able seamen. A plot was formed 10
take these out of the ship and sell them into
slavery but the conspirators (among them
Judge of the Supreme Court were over
heard at their midnight meeting, and the
Captain was informed by two o'clock in the
morning of the danger that threatened his
crew. He rose Immediately, hired the only
steamboat in the place, and by daylight had
the ship towed over the bar outside, some
FIVE miles from shore, and beyond the
Jurisdiction of Florida. l was on shore at
the time, and heard, the next morning, about
the tallest swearing among the oonspirators
that ever greeted my ears. The Judge
seemed to be the most enraged Of any at the
escape Of his prey. They then threatened
togo outside and kidnap the crew; but a
report gained credit that the vessel was
armed, and the crew would give the kid
nappers bloody reception if they attempted
it. Besides, the vessel was then on the high
seas, which would make it piracy. l was
questioned as TO how many negroes we had
aboard, and what kind of hands they were.
A few days after the Ordinance of Seoes-
sion passed, resident of ST. Mark remarked
that he thought the North were right and
the South wrong; whereupon they seized and
stripped and whipped him, and started him
North on the train, with directions to run
him out of the country.

Great Mathematical Revelations in the
---- Southern COnfederncy.


The New York Times says, in late issue
The Confederate States are proving that
the whole is greater than its parts, thus
Overturning a postulate of ages. Hard to
do: but it is done. For instance, South
Carolina wants to borrow $500, 000 and can
not. The work on her State-house is sus-
pended. Both money and credit are gone.
Florida wants any conceivable sums of
money for every purpose known to a States
existence She can not get a dollar. In
deed, if there be State in Ohristendom to
which the vulgar paraphrase of bankruptcy,
fiat broke" can be truly applied, it is
Florida.
Mississippi is tone more unfortunate"
This State is moneyless; and has been for
twenty-five years without credit. Her late
Legislature held dreary session at jackson,
nourished chiefly by cold victuals and cold
water, and left for their homes without their
pay, because there was not a dollar in the
State Treasury.
Louisiana, too, is straitened for cash. Her
money pouch, like the pouch of her pelican
bird, is oftener empty than full
or Texas we need only say it is a State
constitutionaly infelicltous in its finances.
Texas began the world poor; grew dread
fully seedy; got many millions by annexa-
tion to the Union; and now is penniless and
out OF the Union again
lnlS Is catalogue III part OF Ming AJOLtOnS
Confederate States. They form q seedy,
bankrupt list. In view of their warlike tone,
they might be called the ragged regiment"
Take them singly, and not one could borrow
a million dollars in any money market in
the world. But roll them up together and
call them the Confederate States OF Ameri-
ca" and put an avowed repudiator at the
head of them, and Immediately they are ex-
pected to be hailed as rich, strong, valiant,
responsible and trusted elements of a great
nation Five bankrupt States make one
solvent Republic. The aohote is greater than
its parts. Q E. D.
This is all true, for do we not read it in the
Southern papers: How that Memminger's S
loan was taken before asked for (wby did he
go to the superfuous expense of advertising)2
How that New York and Philadelphia capi-
tslists, who in January snubbed South Caro-
lipa's financial agents, asked wistfully but
failed to get any of the Confederate loan?
how that even one of the Rothschilds, scent.
ing the rich pickings afar off, hurried to
New Orleans, hoping to snap up the entire
loan (see New Orleans papers, but was
firmly refused
Marvel ofmarvels-that a half dozen bank
rupt States, all poor, several dishonored, and
not one that is not trying to borrow money
for its own purposes, will make when linked
together in a sort of new tangled confedera-
ton, a perfectly solvent and responsible
debtor, that all people will hasten to lend
money to.

The Inconsistency and FicIIeness of South
CaroIfna

The Charleston Is. o. correspondent of
the New York Times writes:
The more | see of the men of Charleston,
the more convinced | am that very many of
them act, talk and behave like perfect chill
dren. They started the Secession ball, not
because they had their negroes stolen from
them, but because they wanted absolute free
trade, and some Of them free and easy slave
trade. They are now about to rstify the
Provisional Constitution, which puts in force,
with slight notifications, the old United
States Tariff of 1857, which they kicked
overheard so unceremoniously on the goth
of December, 1860. They hate and detest
the ''StaTs and Stripes" Of the old Union, yet
they unanimously indorse close imitation
of that flag They denouuce Anderson in
the bitteIest terms ''for his act of war;" in
removing from Fort Moultrie 10 Fort Sum-
ter; yet they, with spasmodic intervals, sup
ply him with all the luxuries of the market,
and allow him and his men to Give like
fighting cocks"
They denounce the North theoretically,
and practically endeavor to live on the best
terms with her people. They even assail
your correspondent as being the representa-
tive OF, what they are pleased to call "a vile
Black-Republiean Sheet" they threaten him
with the surveillance of the dreadful Vigi-
lance Committee, and insinuate that he will
shortly have notice to quit; yet the same
people will go out of their way TO give him
exclusive information, and socially open 10
him their hearts, their homes, and even their
purses. in fact, South Carolina in general
and Charleston in particular, is sublime
mystery, and can not be estimated or meas
ured by any of the cOmmOn-sense rules that
govern one in their intercourse with ordinary
people.

VALUABLE REMEDY FOR THE TooTHAcHR-
"My dear friend" said H., can cure
your toothsche in ten minutes"
How !" inquired. "DO it, in pity"
" Instantly" said he. "Have you any
alum 2"
"Yes."
Bring it and some common salt"
They we're produced. My friend pulver-
lied them, mixed them in equal quantities,
then wet a small piece Of cotton, causing the
mixed powder TO adhere, and placed It in
my hollow tooth.
"There," said he, if that does not cure
you l will forfeit my head. You may tell
this 10 every one, and publish it every
where. The remedy is infallible."
1t was as he predicted. On the introduc-
tion of the mixed alum and salt, expe-
Tienced a sensation of cOldness, and with it
cured the torment of the toothache.
