The report Viii the Senate Committee OF Nil

FIsro, Blood and WiIiiams) made 70 the Senate
yesterday is not very flttering TO our State pride.
The 10000 men, who are uniformed, well drilled

or rifles 81 for immediate service The remain
ing J 600 men If called into action tomorrow,
would not be prepared 10 20

Nor, g. 1pqe irs from TINS same report are ~
much more satisfactorily supplied with cannon
than with muskets. Some $50 field uieces arc all
the state can command This number should be

The MORRIS ISLAND WORKS. Morris Island
was the next place visited by our party. The
heavy surf that surges upon the beach rendered
it very difficult to effect landing. The channel,
however, runs close TO the shore and at point
almost directly opposite Sumter the water is two
and half fathoms deep, SO that light draft
steamer could approach within twenty or thirty
feet Of the shore. The ordinary method Of gain-
ing access to the island and village adjacent to tne
lighthouse is By means Of varges or small Graf
Of any kind which can navigate the shallow creek
tnat winds through heavy marsh, stretching out
for miles toward UharlestoH.
The island itself Is composed To- the most par5
Of marsh land and sand hills. 1t is uninhabited,
except by few fishermen, WHO reside here dur
ins tho whole year. Nevertheless, quite 4 VII
Iago Of summer residences are clustered together
On that part Of the island facing the open sea.
The beach Of the island runs along the ship
channel for ver2I miles, until near large shoal,
where Sanford channel commences anu takes Its
wGy out. 4 several points along the shore the
channel Is less than q third Ct a mile Of. Behind
the beach extends endless range Of sand hills,
ten o. twelve feet high, and for the most part GOV

The Tribune Of the 18Th thinks That there
much danger o. a fatal mistake in res
peot 10 the temper, the purpose, and the re-
Eources Of the rebels who have begun to wage
var against the Government Of the United
States. j. says that the secession movement
Is not the movement Of q mob nor is it COZ
trolled by mob, but is the movement Of .
people, carrying cut the training Of FIVE ana
twenty years, under the leadership Of the
most intelligent and responsible Of the con-
nunity, that tins movement is not main
tanned by lear, nor likely to be embarrassed
By pecuniaTy distress that the South is in
no danger Of starvation nor Of anarchy, and
1t not IL want Of either men or money. and
that "the danger Of her attempting to sub
doe the North by force Of arms Is, at this
movement, far more imminent than that she
will Voluntarily recede from her rebellious
position.
II TINS be E correct view OF the facts IL Ger
tainly simplihes the case. II it be true that
Rhett. whose whole life has been devoted to
an unceasing hostility to the federal consti
tuition, and 10 any union with the North
Yancey. whose exertions are all pledged TO the
establishment OF the African Slave Trade
Keitt, who boasts OF bis connection with
the Sumner outrage,-that these men really
represent the temper and purposes OF the
whole mass OF the southern people, then the
issue Is clear one. llIt be true that We have
allowed 70 congregaJe upon the borders Of .
The Gulf, d pcople who hate the people Of I
the free States with an intense and personal /
hstreo, and are determined to have no union
with them, on any terms-who hate the
principles Of freedom and are determined 10
s7read the institution OF Slavery WHO long
10 fight the North, and TO compel il by force
of arms into silence respecting them and .
their practices who refuse 70 be bound BY /
constitutions, or laws, or compacts, or oaths, /
ii the institution Of Slavery has already 1
performed Its perfect work, and transformed
the whole mass OF southern people into bar
barians, who are more Ii kelly to attempt 10
subjugate the whole North than to abandon
their designs,-then, indeed, the case is
simple. War with such q people is not
uuwelcoao necessity. 1t will be no more
cIvil war than were our wars with the Semin.
oles. and other tribes born and brought up
in the same land with US. With such
people the North does not desire to live In
peace; much less Will it permit such people
to control the Gulf and the mouths of the
Mississippi.
And if such are the people we have to deal
with, why talk of compromises or conces-
lons CT cancellations Between the Ameri-
an people and such race there can never
be peace.
But we aPprehend the facts are not as the
tribune would make them appear. If re-
snce can be placed upon the tone OF private
and the evidence of travel
,rs. the rebels who control Charleston, and :
Iso fired upon the Star of the West, do not d
lilly represent the people of the South. We !
