Whose is the primary cause of blanc in tho
matter. we shall not now pause to inquire. A
gravcr duty than this has now come upon U.s.
This is no time-so it seems to us--tor angry
dispute and recrimination. A common and
paramount obligation rests upon us all alike to
support the dignity and the authority Of the
Government.

will be u fire of patriotic indignation that will

The public are getting occasional CLEANS of
the real truth concerning the battle of Fort
Sumter The news received through secession
channels has all been colored by the medium
through which it passed, Major Anderson
has now arrived in New York, and we shall
very soon get his version of the conflict That
it will not, as far as South Carolina is concern
cd, appear in all the beautiful and bloodlcss
rose colors which have distinguished tho news
by way of Charleston, is very certain. That
It will reveal some of the horrors and carnage
of war, is to be expected. That the rebels will
appear no better through the official report, can
be safely counted upon. We are very anxious
to hear Major Anderson's story, as we most
certainly are inpatient to issrn just who is re-
sponsihlo for the loss Of Fort Sumter. We be-
l,evc his report will show that he and his small
garrison did everything that could be done to
uphold the Flag of his Country, and that the
white sign of distress was not shown beside it
till there was no further hope.

Will You 20 Forward.

If 50 what arc the steps necessary to be taken
l. We must deepen and cleanse our channels
Of conviction. We must hear Gods voice in
doctrines of Liberty. Parents should talk of
it; schools should teach it, and as the South
looses no opportunity of insllling hatred Of
Liberty into the minds of the young, so we
should improve every means to encourage and
foster a love of liberty among our children.
2. We must draw the lines close Let men
take sides one way or the other let every man
show his hand VIC want no middle men no
shufficrs all must now stand each for himself
ON this great question. He who is not with us
and for us is against us. Great men have spo-
ken on this subject eloquently, aud feelingly
but the guns of Sumter have spoken more than
them all AS for me, | am determined I'll
have no commerce nor dealings henceforth with
u foe to Liberty. No man shall come to my
house, or receive my hospitality, OF break my
bread, or share my roof, who has feelings of
hostility to liberty, unless he comes as a CONVEX
ted sinner and l shall treat any and every one
who comes in my way, who is false to his coun-
try and the hour we live in, as traitor for
such he is.
3. We must not stop to measure costs or any
cases, so mean and narrow as that Of pecuniary
prospects. We must put our Honor and Re-
N1'Ao eo' uSS'0' "hu AOinOHlDcI WHOSE
cause it is for which we are contending.
4. We must aim at peace, build on founda.
tions so solid-of Gods immortal truth-that
nothing can reach to unsettlc them.
Let this matter be settled no,o. Let it never
| come up again. If war must come, let us meet
it; it is better to brave it thoroughly now to
brave II necessary, protracted war so that it
| IS ilnal one, than for twenty years to come to
be troubled with an intermittent breaking out at
| every period. 1t has got to be settled one way
or the other. The North has the population
the means and courage-for there is no such
| breadth of courage at the South as there is at
tho North. " The Northern men," said the
'llustrious General-that tried patrot-tha,
noble man-Gen. Scott, =" are hard to get into
Sight, but most terrible fellows when once in. u
Applause suppressed The North athors war
! but II 1t enters upon contest, can wish i,s
detracters no more punishment than that they
stand in the ranks of their opponents

THE USE OF ToDACCO.-The Dean of Carlisle,
in recent lecture on the use Of tobacco calcu-
lated that the entire world of smokers snuiTers,
and chcwers consume 1000, 900 tons annually, or
4 4,480,000 900 pounds weight as much tonnage
ms the corn consumed by l0,000,000 of English
men. and actually at n cost sufficient to pay for
millions and a half of acres are occupied in i,s
product OF which, at two pence per pound, would
yield thirty seven millions of pounds sterling.
The time would fail to tell of the vast amount OF
smoking in Turkey and Persia in India all
classes and both sexes indulge In this practice
the Samese both chew and smoke. In Burmah
all ages practice it, children three years old and
of both sexes. China equally contributes to the
general mania /; and the advocates Of the habit
boast, that about one-iourth of the human race
are their clients, that there certainly are l00,-
1900 smokers. There is q local effect of to-
bacco, when smoked, which we have not seen
mentioned and which, in a therapeutical aspect,
may be of considerable Importance we refer to
its action in preventing that peculiar condition
of the throat which if neglected, is liable to ter
inmate in follicular inflamatiOn or what is prop
erly known as clergyman sore throat. IL has
been said that few il any instances OF this aliec
lion can be found to exist in those in the habit OF
smoking, and we know of one or two instances
where it yielded at once to the potent influence
of tobacco 1t probably acts by alaying com
mencing irritation, which IL allowed to increase,
would end in inflammation and, perhaps, by
counteracting any spasmodc condition Of the
surrounding muscles-a very natural source Of
