The Condition of CharIeston--Its Appears
ance-Picture of Young South Carolina.
The Charleston IS. o. correspondent Of
the New York EVening Post says
Companies, both Of horse and foot, parade
through the streets; cavalry gallop on sunny
afternoons round the green fronting the
citadel; dozen Of the huge, old-fashioned,
black iron cannon which used to lie within
the inelosure under its walls, have been re-
moved therefrom, and, at the cost of consid-
erable labor, mounted, wheeled into line, to
await any necessity that may arise. Troops
biYouac in the city outskirts, and more Of
fers of volunteer re-enforcements from the
interior, from Georgia and from Alabama,
are daily received than Charleston would
find it convenient to accept considering the
responsibilities of food and lodging. The
Mercury window exhibits printed offer on
the part Of the State, of $40 per month, with
the additional inducement Of So for bounty,
for recruits to ''the army of South Carolina
The queer steamboats, that ply between
the city and the islands (which combine, in
an anomalous manner, some of the peculi-
arities Of Mississippi, q Hudson-river
steamer and New York ferry-boat) are
daily loaded with young South Carolina,
in every description of military uniform,
with munitions Of war, mattresses, food,
lint (for possible contingencies) and promis-
cuous visitors, who, however, can not obtain
entrance to the forts unless provided with
special permits from the authorities. You
meet the aforesaid young South Carolina
everywhere, especially going to or coming
from the wharves-in the former case with
a bundle. The advertisements in the news
papers and the bulletins at their publishings
offices fairly bristle with orders 70 him,
whether he be an Etna or Moultrie Guard, a
Yigilant, a Phoenix, or Rutledge Mounted
Rife, German Fusileer or Hussar, a Wash
ington Artillery or Light Infantry man, or
any similar or dissimilar appellation. ..#
To do him justice, be obeys said orders
with alacrity and enthusiasm, though the
past weeks persistent rain, and good deal
of mismanagement in the Commissariat De-
partment, must haYe tried him severely. In
some instances he was kept without food for
twenty hours, in others he had but
limited allowance of blankets and bad
diarrhea. Yet, apart from a little natural
growing, he bore these attendant disagree
ables as well as could haYe been expected
in few eases resorting to whisky as a con-
solation--and now the weather. is fine again,
he wears a cheerful and martial aspect--a
triAe clouded, perhaps, when turned in the
direction of Fort Sumter and the flag that
still flies upon it. Generally he talks over
innumerable projectS---some of them rather
wild ones-for taking thei one and dis
lodging the other, and wishes that Governor
Pickens would give the order for its attack
Immediately.

GREAT PRAISE OF LORD DERBY AS AN ORA
ToR.-Not only had Lord Aberdeen seen
them, like the two mountains, "Athos and
Ida, with dashing sea of eloquence be-
TWEEN" he had listened with awe TO the rolf
ing thundeTs of Burke; he had witnessed tie
brilliant but harmless lightnings of Sheri .
dab;lhe had heard Granville and Grey in
their prime. Whitbread and Wyndham he
had heard vOlleying forth their clamors by
the hour; and with all the inclination of an
old man to depreciate the present and to
laud the past, he has declared Of these giants
of whom il is supposed that we are never
more to see the ike, that not one of them,
as a speaker, is TO be compared with our own
Lord Derby, when Lord Derby is at his best.

A KING OPPOSED TO PoMP AND DISPLAY
Since the return of King Victor Emmanuel
to Naples, all kinds of flying anecdotes about
his sayings and doings at Palermo have been
being taken out of his carriage and his being
drawn along by the people, and on leaving
the cathedral, told the Syndic, or Mayor OF
Palermo, that in coming to Sicily, he wished
it to be understood that the brute beasts were
to remain brute beasts, and the men TO re-
main men. He further added that he was
neither danSsuse like Ceritto, nor travel-s
ing dentist, and had no wish to receive the
honors commonly accorded to such char
acterg-

ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW ENGLAND CLAN
BANKs.-The clam banks of New England
are the only ones that honor the claims of
the poor, and discount for the needy in times
of distress. In the panic of "57," they
afforded substance to.thousands, and again,
in the ''shoemakers' strike few years ago,
they were the only ones that discounted to
the strikers. These clam fields are so valua-
BILE that the owners Of adjoining shore lands
have often set up claims to the crops, but the
courts have always decided against them.
Ii is singular fact that the more clans peo-
pie dig, and the more the mud is turned
over, the faster CLAIMS grow and the richer
will be their flavor.

ALEXANDRA DUMAss CREDIT.-Every body
who knows any thing of the personal char
acteristics of the most prolific and most en-
tertaining of French noVelists, is, of course,
aware that M. Alexandra Dumas has always
been a living example of the careless i'm
providence of literary men. Dumas has not
only thrown away a dozen ample fortunes
for prudent people, but his credit, in pecu-
mary sense, has been exhausted for many
years. To-day, not grocer in Paris would
"trust" the author of Monte Christie for a
pound of soap, unless he desired TO prove his
admiration Of Dumas's talents, by making
the latter present more useful to him than
to most other men. 90. -.

MANS MORTAL FoE.--A writer in the
Psychological Journal states that the amount
of mortality among persons of incorporate
habits from twenty to thirty years of age, is
five times greater than that of the commu-
nifty generally, and from thirty to forty
years Of age, it is four times greater. He
says: "If there be any thing in the ussges of
strong drink" The diseases incurred by
such habits are mostly of the head and
stomach.

THE INSANITY OF GOVERNOR WIsE-GOv
Wise gives public notice that if the people of
Virginia should even deliberate whether in
the present crisis they will go with the North
OF the South; 81 at least, for one of her sons,
will not follow her lead but I will rush to
South Carolina or some other heroic Com
monwealth of the South, and implore the use
of her arms to save my mother State from
inefable disgrace" The only drawback to
this agreeable intelligence is that the ridicu-
lous old gasconader never does any thing
that he promises.

TERRIBLE DIsAsTER-Fire at SeG.-The
ship ScdHgO, which has arrived at Baltimore
from Calcutta, after an unusually long pass
age, fell in with burning steamer off Ba-
hama, supposed to be the British mail
steamer Delta, which plies between st.
Thomas and Halifax. The company of the
vessel were, portion of them, upon raft
near the steamer, and some Of them strug-
Cling in the water. The sea ran very high
at the time, so as to render the launching of
boats perilous. No efforts were made to save
the unfortunate persons in and around the
wreck, because of the danger attending the
undertaking, and from the fact that large
part of the crew were debilitated by the
scurvy, contracted during the long voyage

SALARIES OF PARlsrAN AoroRs.-A Paris

SALARIES OF PARIsIAN AoToRs.--A Paris
letter-writer says:
The monthly expenses of the Vaudeville
Theatre, for the salaries of the artists, are,
as appears from recent publication which
can not be very agreeable to the amour
propTe of certain actors and actresses, only
12,0O0 francs, or $4,000 This makes the
per diem outlay for salaries only $80--not
large sum for an establishment of the first
among tho non-subventioned theaters of
Paris. The salary of Felix, the ''leading
man." is $3.50 month; ditto Mad lie Farguei,
the "leading woman The next'on the list
is Mad'lle Pierson, 'juveuile lady," who re-
ceives $183 month. Then come the "frst
walking gentleman Saint Gefmstih, win
Mesdames Marquet, Bressant, Jane Elssler,
each 800 mouth Thirteen artists are
paid salaries ranging from $50 to $50, and
eight others from sic to $40. Yet it would
seem that Partisan actors are anxious to
retain even such pittanees as these; for,
when the late change of direction took
place, the Minister of State was petitioned
by the company to impose upon the new
management the obligation to maintain all
the engagements for one year. The sock
and buskin in the French capital, which
contains the best actors in the world, can
not fairly be considered the road to fortune.

ARTEsIAN WELLS IN ALGER7E.-The boring
of ntesian wells seems to have been carried
out with great success in the Province OF
Constantine, in Algeria; fifty wells have
been opened since 1856 which yield, alto
gether, about 100000 gallons In the course
of twenty-four hours. These borings have
been executed with three sets Of boring ap-
paratus only, at an expense, exclusive of
the cost of the apparatus, Of about $500 for
each Of the fifty wells. rHe3

MISPLACED Philanthropy. "A philan-
