THE PALMETTO STATE ANALYZED.-
South Carolina presents acurious spectacle.
An cxcheduer without funds: State that
breads taxation; Legislature that hest
tates to vote subsidies while declaring Its
liberties in danger, and invoking a revo-
luton; a Senator who offers to take State
bonds to maintain his government for
premium; a people who repudlate their
debts to distress their nei@hbors; bank
ing system that refuses to redeem its own
notes in specie. in the midst Of a profound
neace; a population not larger than that Of
Brooklyn in State older than that Of
New York; whose postal arrangements
come to Eve times as much as the Post
| Office can collect: whose customs do not
nav the collection of the revenue; whose
! chief grievances are that freedom Is gen
eral. and slavery exceptional, and who re-
| bel on account of laws, the repeal Of which
! thev never demanded, and the nvalldIty
of which could be declared in the Supreme
! Court: whose revolution is not IN favor OF
freedom, but extended seryitude; State
always threatening revolutions, and whose
reyoits cost neither blood nor treasure;
population that denies law and justice Il
the inhabitants of sister States, and lynch
es or expels them by mob law, on suspicion
of holding different opinions, without ever
form of trial; State which threatens Il
destroy the Confederaey of the United
States, while it begs that Contederacy
Which passes secession ordinances, ant
then debates them; whose exchanges ar
so ruinously low, and credit 50 bad, thu
it can neither purchase arms nor supplies
and yet hopes to starve the people Of tn
North, by more than Egyptian famine b.
stonpinr trade ~ \ Le0der.

ANOTHER INFALLIBLE REMEDY FOR DIP
THERIA.-The following is said to be an in
fallible remedy for this fearful disease. 1t
was first tried, some days ago, in district
where several deaths had occurred, and, in
every instance in which it was used, the pa
tent recovered:
Make two small bags that will reach from
ear TO ear, and fill them with ashes and salt |;
dip them in hot water, and wiring them out
so that they will not drip, and apply them
to the throat cover up the throat with a
flannel cloth, and change them as often as
they become cool, until the throat becomes
irritated, near bGsteriDg. For children it is
necessary to put flannel cloth between the
ashes and the throat to prevent blistering.
When the ashes have been on a sufficient
time, take wet flannel cloth and rub it
with CASTLE soap until it is covered with
thick lather. Dip it in hot water and
apply it to the throat, and change as they
cool; at the same time use gargle made OF
one teaspoonful. of cayenne pepper, one OF
salt, one Of molssses in a tea-cup full of hot
water, and, when cool, add one fourth as
much cider vinegar, and gargle every fif-
teen minutes until the patient requires sleep
a 9arOle made Of CASTLE soap is good to be
used a part Of the tune. a

The Death Of Queen vietoria,s Mamma
HerIAntsoedents, and Particulars OF Her
Demise.
The death Of the Duchess of Kent, mother
OF Queen Victoria, has already been an
nounced. For a long time the late Duchess
had been afflicted with a cancer, which was
the immediate cause Of her death. Since
the accession Of her daughter to the proudest
throne Of Europe, she had remained a resi-
dent either at Windsor Castle with the
Queen, or at Frogmore, mansion of her
own, mile or two distant from the castle,
her. =
The late Duchess had attained a venerable
age. She was a princess of the house of
xe-Ssalfsld- Ooburg, was born on the 18th
of August, 1856, and was baptised under the
names of Marie Louise Victoria She was at
an early age, married to Prince Henry of
Leiningen, who, dying, left her blooming
young widow, in 1874. A year or so later
che attracted the attention Of Edward, Duke
of Kent, the fourth son of George III, and
was married to him in London on the 1lth
of July, 1918. .... ..
But the married life of the new Duchess
was but short; for in less than two years the
Duke of Kent died, and she was again a
widow, with one child, the Princess (now
Queen) Victoria. AT that time the accession
VI llbtlS Cullu W lue LQfOQ6
seemed but remote contingency. George
III outlived his son, the Prince of Wales,
while George ~ and William w, his other
sons, who reigned after him, both died with
out issue thus the issue of the next brother,
the deceased Duke of Kent, became heir to
the British throne.
AS soon as this contingency gradually re-
solved itself into probability and then a
certainty, the Duchess of Kent devoted her
time to fitting her daughter for the high sta
ton she was called upon to occupy. A firm
and consistent Protestant, she taught the
young Princess a veneraton for that religion
as expressed in the Church of England.
Mental and personal mplishments were
carefully attended, as well as physical re-
quirements.l The daughter throve under
such judicious treatment; and the mother
had the satisfaction of attending the corona
tion and the marriage of her child, of seeing
her the mother of a large family, and of
knowing that her throne was built upon the
hearts of loving subjects.
The life of the Duchess of Kent, quiet and
unostentatious, was so identified with that
of the present Queen, that there is little to
say of her otherwise. Her death will place
in mourning most of the reigning families of
Europe, while, at the English Court, there
can be little doubt but that the official trap
pings of .wo will this time represent-what
they seldom do in Court circles-the honest
and unaffected grief of the wearers. 1t may
be added that this is the first serious be-
reavement Queen Victoria has ever expert
eneed. Her father died before she was old
enough to know him, and she has never lost
child. An only child herself, she had
never a brother or sister to lose or mourn
for; and thus the present bereavement must
be peculiarly affecting to her.

A WashinHton CnpItnlIst's Opinion of the
Credit of tho Southern Confederacy-HIs
Want Of Confidence In their Ability to
Borrow Money. a ... .-
Mondays Philadelphia North-American
observes: .s .IUl ..It.
q. We yesterday met gentleman from Wash
ington, a Southerner, by birth, extensively
known as a capitalist and banker. In order
to obtain his views relative to the status on
the Southern Confederacy," we asked
questions, which were answered as follows (:
You are acquainted with Mr.. Riggs, the
Washington banker, sir ~
intimately. When at home see him
every day."
'1s there any truth in the statement that
be intends to take portion Of the Southern
loan 2"
"Not word. He would not touch doll
lar of it, and for the simple reason that he
would lose it if he did" -grt--
"Do you think that any Washington
banker will take it, or any part of it N
No, sir. What is more, nobody outside
of the Confederate States will touch it,
and the SecG Gssionists have no money to spare.
The Northern bankers will never lend money
to people who have done as the Cotton States
have done" XXX.
"Will foreign capitalists do it2"
mo, sir. In my opinion a people who
have seeded from the Government, and
robbed the Federal Union of its property,
can never obtain credit from anybody.
They may put an export duty of cent a
pound upon cotton; and, by so doing, raise
a revenue Of $26, 200, ,0O0 this money, after
all, will come from their own pocket
"How so, sir ?"
Because the necessities of the Cotton
States are such that they must sell. The
planters are too largely in debt to hold the
crop, and the aggregate is SO large that the
brokers can not do it. For this reason the
Southern Copfederacy must ultimately bring
up in bankruptcy. They can not hold to-
gether for more than year without pro-
ducing general ruin.n
"And do you believe that they suffer as
much as we do ?"
"More. Their business has dwindled away,
and their railroad receipts have fallen off
forty per cent. There are enough good men
in the South to redeem it from the Secession
lists, and the time is not far distant when
this will be DONE" f.. ~ ~ F.. q
We left the gentleman with the great sat-
isfaction of knowing that there is large
number of persons yet having confidence in
the sterling sense of the people, and in the
ultimate restoration of fraternity among
the people of. all the States.

D A THREE;FoLD CRIMINAL IN NEw EN,
misunderstanding, Seduction end Adultery.
Mondays Boston Atias and Bee remarks:
A man named John O. Newton, who be-
longs at Salem, where he was formerly
policeman, was arrested at the American
House, Saturday, for Victimizing various
'hotel-beepers and for seduction and adul-
terry. He deals extensively. He stopped ut
the Elm Hotel, short time since, where he
registered his name as Newcomb. He had
girl with him who was not his wife. At
another hotel he stopped as j. w. West and
wife. He obtained board at the American
House, few days ago, for himself and
wife, and upon taking possession of his
room, deposited with the clerk, for safe
keeping a small and heavy box, saying that
il contained specie and jewelry, and request
ing him 10 place it in the safe, and keep ii
subject to his call. This was attached on
Friday by the landlord of the Elm Hotel,
for board, ard found TO contain nothing but
iron filings. His companion at the Amer
lean House, who Is only seventeen years Of
age, was oonyersed with, and she says that
he sedueed her short time since, under
promise of marriage. The mother of the
girl resides in this city. He had wife and
several children in Salem, and rather
chuckles ever his exploits, particularly as to
cheating landlords. He has, however, prob
ably got as far in that direction as will be
easy for the present. oll lN e a. 7-aat h
