The Folly of Secession.

The Richmond Wing thinks the Sc
cessionists are repeating the policy of
the seceders from the Democratic Con-
yention lastaspring. The same men who
engineered the one piece of folly in
1860 are engineering the other III 1861
and they bid fair to achieve similar re-
suits. Had they remained in ths Con
vention they could have controlled its
action. Had they remained in Congress
they could have held the Government in
check. But they had the sense to do
neither.

The Real Cure fose Secession.

\ Charleston correspondent of the
Providence journal writes:
To meet the expenses of all this war
like preparation the taxes are enor-
mously high, and people are not a little
disposed to gfumble at the burthen.-
The tax on gold watches is one dollar,
on silver ones half dollar, on a pack
of playing cards twenty five cents; and
all other articles are taxed in nearly the
same proportion. This heavy taxation
is having a greater tendency towards
conciliation than any other thing; for
the men of moderate means clearly see
that the taxes must always be enormous
to support separate State Government,
or even Southern Confederaey.

The Palmetto Flag.

We have received from the Office Of
the Charleston Mercury picture of the
Palmetto flag, as last revised, corrected
and amended, a description of which
has recently appeared in our columns.
The Mercury says the design of the
banner is very beautiful and appropriate.
Tastes will differ, however.
No doubt good many of our friends
have seen the Palmetto. tree, which
South Carolina has adopted as the de-
vice upon her banner. What its sig
nifeaace upon banner can be, we are
unable to conceive It is most ridicu-
lousiy unsightly object, bears nothing to
eat, and affords no fuel to keep one warm.
Its stalk or trunk is not ligneous: but
seems to be something about half way
between tree and a great big Weed-of
about the texture Of cabbage stalk
We should suppose that nature can
have meant 1t for nothing under heaven
except to furnish a device fer the South
Carolina Lcp.SUiHe Journal,

The oil is said to be at least twenty per
SCENT. better than that procured in the
famous Kauawha, Muskingum, or Duck

solve the great question, as far as this
locality is concerned, as there is quite
number of wells being bored, in differ

The Boston Journal publishes pri-
vat letter from reliable and intelligent
citizen of Charleston, who SAY that the
alleged uhaaimity for secession there is
only apparent: that multitudes of sub
stantiaI men are leaving the. city; that
there is strong latent Uaion seatiment
which only needs encouragemeatto make
itself felt, and that delegation is soon
to leave Charleston for Washington, to
urge upon the President the necessity
of taxing some steps to show this class
that it will be protected from the mob
if it takes stand for law and order

Lying. a-e saa z. -
A New York Tribaae letter from Bos-
ton gives the result Of hearing Beecher's
sermon 'on lying. It5says:
From this lecture we went forth as
with new. aspiration, to begin a new
career of truthfulness.~ The next day
we were extremely careful in our state
ments. GLOW does this bonnet become
me?" asked friend. "Eery i'll, . said
we. ''What's the matter with it2'' at
looks too young" That person Rill not
ask our advice again, very soon-take it
she never meant to. 'TDo you think I
spoil my chlldren?' ''Yes.'' 'sDo you
see anything remarkable in that eldest
boy Of mine?" Nothing bat his want
of manners" We began to think we
might learn, in time, to like this exer-
else of new prerogatiye, bat when We
saw the stricken faces that fed
from us, we wondered whether we had
strength of mind remaining, at our time
of life, to dwell in solitude and be a
martyr. - .-

sequence of disagreement be turned her and he
children out Of the house and locked tie DOORS lie
then left, and observed tbem going into the wooda
On his return he found tbs back window broken and
bis gun taken away and lie inferred that as she had
frequently threatened 20 commit suicide, she had taken
the gun for that purpose. At oil events, he bad not
seen her since. The friends OF the woman wento the

circumstances also filed their minds with apprehension,
