The military were out in their gay uniforms and
they added to the interest Of the occasion by firing
twenty laundering rounds in honor Of inlcpenden

A Stern Picture.

r was in the South Carolina House Of Repre-
sensatives, on the evening Of the day in which
ANDERSON had declared his intention to open his
batteries upon our boats, in retaliation for the
firing of our troops on The Star IF the Hess. The
correspondence between that officer and Governor
p,cSyys had lust been read amid the almost
breathless attention of the entire assembly. A.
length it wus finished, and war, unmistakenblc
war ut once stood out in bold relief 20 every mem-
ber's mind, as the only "neXt step it was posi-
bic 10 take, if approving the course of the Com
nandcr-in chief The stern silence that followed
the rcnding of tho correspondence Sas soon bro
ken by the distinct accents Of member proposing
certain resolutions Of approval, decided and en-
phatic Without debate nnd without taltering
remark from any part Of the Hall. these resolu-
tions were adopted unanimously, and it was so
expressed onsthcir face by special motion.
From one who was present we learn that the
occasion was indeed impressive and imposing
There was not heart that did not beat in high
accord with the martial ring Of the intelligence
not face that did not glow with the resolve to
dare the worst It was moment waen men cared
not to interrupt the prompt vote of the body BY
words of untimcly rhetoric, but to their stern
duty at once addressed themselves.
Audwe here enter upon our record the resolutions
which were passed, and which Mr.. MULLINS o
Marion had the honor Of presenting. We do this
not only because We have neglected heretofore tc
place this demonstration before our readers, but
because it is one that gives promise Of glorou:
reciprocity Of confidence between our State au-
thnri,ies in dseharging the arduous duties of the
crisis Read the Resolutions:
Rcsolred, unanimousiy, That this General As
semhly looks upon any attempt to reinforce the
troops now in possession Of Fort Sumter, as IN

Resoircl further, unanimously, That this Gcner-
