A gentleman who has been residing at
Charleston, S. c., since last October. nr
rived ia Boston a few DAYS since and has
furnished the journal Of that city with
some interesting facts. He says:
All is quiet at Charleston. Sumter
having been taken, the troops hive moth
ing to do. Two regiments only Of South
Carolina roops have cone North. They
meet for drill three or four tines q week
There IS little or no business The ciy is
as dull as Suhday Provisions are held
1t high rates. Butter, 75 cents. Ham,
beef and mutton, from 25 to 50 cents -
Flour Sl3, Coin was scarce. Gold was
not TO be had at the banks kept to ray
duties, and ten per cent was the ruling
piice for that He knew that one homo
reble gentleman. owing money in Boston,
offered to give two THOUSAND d liars in
bills for one thousand in gold, but the Of
fer found 10 skers! The gentleman, al
tfo1gh a rabid sccess;orist, ta,ing om-
ploved workmen from the North in the
service Of the city, petitiored the mayor
to he allowed to pay them in god, but
the mayor replied that they must take the
notes of the banks
The depreciation of the bank bills has
been rapid since Lincolu's proc amalion
and before The summer is over they will
be worth about rs much as Continental
currency was at the close of the Revolt
luticnary war. The blockade of the ports
and an utter suspension of business will
inevitably produce such result A few
Of the business men understood this, but
the people generally, who are unscquaint-
ed with The first principles Of political
economy, see nothing to mar the future
glory of the commercial metropolis of the
Southern Confederacy, as they fondly
imagine Charleston is destined TO be.
SOUTH cAkoLINA ARRoa ANcc

Carolina is more than to be citizen o
the Confederate States of America. Ii

the rest of the world.
There is no love lost between Soutl
Carolina and Georgia, for both are to b,
Empire States. This sentiment Of supe
riority has been nursed until it has be
come ingrained into society. They lool

not seem to know that lhere'is any thins

only bent on subjugating them to polite
al slavery.
They are exceedingly bitter on th
Northern democrats, and praise the abo
liicnsts as being consistent. Northern
democrats are traitors. They Rave bite
curses for Gen Scott and Col. Anderson
Although wheE, after the surrender 0
Sumter, it was reported that Anderson
