South Carolina.

A correspondent of ono of the North
ern journals, who assumes to be partlcu-
larly well informed upon the politics OF
South Carolina, imparts the interesting
information that South Carolina is very
sure of British backing, and that the au-
dacious little State would never have ven
tured so far without some secret under
standing with somebody or other on the
other side of the water. We don't know
how that may be, but are Of opinion that
there are very few things which South
Carolina would not do without the back
ing of anybody, if what she considered a
Just cause demanded it. She is 8. very
roundy abused State at the presen5 time,
and we don't know any State that can
better stand it. The character of her
people is so infinitely above that Of their
detractors that it is like dogs baying at
the moon" That inestimablc luminary
continues to shine on in spite Of all the
yelpings and howlings that she arouses
among those who love darkness better
than light We dare say South Carolina
will survive the New York tribune, in
cluding the charleston correspondence"
written in the Tribune Office, and all their
multitudinous sympathizcrs. We pre-
sumo il is somewhat with q community
as an individual When good and gen
crous man is dogged by the malice and
spite of envy, meanness and malice, he
he feels sure that he is right, and, in the
energetic language of David Crockett,
goes ahead. We observe that the South
Carolina newspapers make no reply to
the SANDERS and abuse of theil enemies,
but instead thereof, her troops go on qui-
city and persistently increasing their for
tifcations. Whenever her assailants un-
dertakc to exchange words for blows, she
will then answer fool according to his
folly.
The South Carolina people, much de-
nounced and misrepresented, are, in truth,
among the best people in the world. We
have rarely seen South Carolinian who
who not gentleman. 1t is a State Of
gcntlemen-a most disgusting fact in this
democratic and levclling age novcrthe-
less it is true. Much as We cadmire South
Carolina, her best friends cannot deny
the fact. Her enemies say Il great deal.
in this connection, about arstocracy and
oligarcby. Perhaps that, also, is true.
But when we find, either in frcesoil or
any republican communities, or anywhere
else on the face of the earth, dead level
of social equality, we will, as Capt. Cattle
suggests, make a note of it, and givs the
enemies of South Carolina its full benefit.
One thing is certain: She has acted in
the present critical state of affairs with n
dignity, intelligence, and frmness, that
will make her name bright and imperish-
able on the pages of American history.
The gallant Harry Percy of the South
has not unsheathed his sword an hour too
soon, and when he crosses his steel with
his detcstable foe, q million brave hearts
will cheer him on, and a million bright
swords start from their shcaths to sustain
his noble and immortal cause.-Richmond

A New Era.


era Coyederqcy, Jacksonville, Fla, is eS-
scellent It was the last leader written by
its Editor, the late Theo. S. Gourdin:
With the formation of the Confederate
States of America new era of civiliza-
ton has. commenced-an era in which, if
we hope to gain the respect Of the civil
lied world, we must abandon the old idea
of our forefathers that sail mep'aoere born
free and equaz," and teach the doctrine Of
the diversity of the races, and of the su-
premacy of'the Anglo-saxon race over
all others. We must take the ground
never dreamed of by the men of'76, that
African slavery is right in itself, and,
therefore, should be preserved. African
slavery is either morally right OF it is
morally wrong. Ifwrong, no excuse will
suffice; in the eyes of the Almighty, for
its continuance. He is perfect, and can
not tolerate iniquity. The same moral
and physical laws which, in the beginning
(of this earth), T[e laid down for the gov
ernment of this world in which we live,
were, are and will be right, yesterday, to-
day and forever. Earthly legislators may
change their laws to suit the emergencies
of tho times, fol they are fallible-but the
Almighty, athat great being whom the
heaven of heavens cannot contain" new
err If, therefore, we, after due investiga-
ton of the subject, honestly come to the
conclusion thai slavery per Sc is morally
wrong, let us, as honest men and Chris
tians, abolish it at once, without regard
to cost. There can be no such thing as
s.snecessary evi." Evil is the misapplica-
ton or perye1sion of what is good. But
if on the other hand, we believe slavery
tobe morally right, and, in addition there
to, find it to our interest to keep up the
institution, let US be manly enough to
maintain ou1 principles in. opposition to
to the rest o. the world. But, for Gods
sake, and til, sake of consistency, do not
let us form sn union for the express pur-
pose of maintaining and propagating AT
rican slavery, and then, as the Southern
Congress has done, confess our error by
enacting constitutional provision abol-
ishing the African slave trade. The open
ing Of the African slave trade is mere
question of expediency to be determined
by legislative enactment hereafter, but
not by q constitutional provision.
The fact of the matter is this: all these
erroneous ideas of the right of man,
and the equality of the races, we derive
from our ancestors of the Revolution. We
blame them not for the ideas which they
entertained-we honor them for the val
liant manner in which they contended for
what they believed to be the truth. But,
it does not follow that because our anccs-
tors entertained, fought and bled for GER
tain principles, we, their descendants,
should he compelled to entertain, fight
and bleed for the same principles. No!
far from it! Our ancestors claimed the
privilege of thinking and acting for them
selves without regard to the opinions of
their forefathers. We, their descendants,
claim the same privilege.

A BLOCKADE NOT TO BE RECOGNIZED
The following is from the New York
Hcrald of tho 5th instant We have no
doubt that it is substantially true:
WASHINGTON, March Al learn that
Lord Lyons, the British Minister, has Of
fcially notified the American Government
that Great Britain will not recognize q
blockade of the Southern ports, unless it
is thorough and cffectual, ano that the
mere announccment of blockade, in ac-
cordance with the Treaty of Paris, will
not be recognized.
In order to make the blockade of the
Southern ports thus complete, the Amcr-
can Goyernmentmust have vessels enough
to blockade every port, otherwise the
British Government will feel themselves
compelled, in accordance with their en-
gagemcnts with other powers, to disre-
gard the restriction and carry on their
commerce with the Southern ports as if
no such blockade had been announced.
1t is understood that it is also the in
tcntion of NJ MERCER, the French Minis
ter to give the same notification to the
Government in regard to France, and
that all the European Powers, in consc-
quence of the peculiar relations they have
with the commerce Of the world, will like
wise take advantage of the Treaty OF
Paris and act in accordance with the poll
cy adopted by the French and English
Governments.

INDIAN MURDERS ES Texas. The Calves
ton News of the 10Th says, that on Wednes-
day last, a communication was received at
San Antonio, which, stated that a party of
indians, about one hundred and sixty-fve in
number, were then committing great depre-
dations at Atacosta, witkirA fsrty miles Of the
city. The District Court. tha,i In session,
adjourned, and q PUBLIC. meeting was con-
vened to consider what steps should be la
ken to stop the inroad.
The San Antonio Ledger publishes g Pc
t%ition, signed by Col. Navarro and others,
representing the exposed condition of the
Western frontier also letter addressed by
that gentleman to his son, dated Atascoso,
March I'd. Col. Neyarro says:
There is no doubt thatthe Indians are upon
our frontier in sufficient force to devaState it,
if not checked Immediately. Many persons,
have been killed on the streams west of US;
and the remainder are returning upon US
with their women and children, in a defence.
less condition. We are satisfied that they
intend a descent upon US, and as we are entire
ly unprepared to meet them, the consequent
ces may be fearful. They have defeated the
only organized company in our county. 1t
is useless for less than one hundred men to
attack them.
we are IN imminent peril From what
has happened during the lastfew days, and my
intimate knowledge of the character of the
wild and savage Indians, I have no doubt
that they are in the midst Of our settlements.
| believe that the Indians are aware of our
political differences, and as they have seen
that the trops of our military outposts have
retired, they infer that we are as much revo-
lutionized and weakened as Mexico, and with
that belief they will rush, without doubt, to
redden their spears in human blood, with that
ferocity and savag ness which they breathe in
their bloodshot eyes.
If a patriotic effort is not made speedily
to chastise these Indians in their first incur,
sions mark well what tell you,) all western
Texas will be ruined, and those that survive
will witness a fearful and destructive Indiar
war. In haste,
