THE STAR OF THE WEST.

The following graphic account Of the that en-

turned, and performed that reluctant courtesy.
20, rtupate]y there was no wind and the Marion
easy until the tide, between aud O'Clock
in the afternoon, when, with the assistance Of
.he Gordon, she was released from her perilous
situation, and steamed to her dock.
This transaction, especially the part played
by the captain Of the Clynch, who might have
given the Marion timely warning, cannot be cen
sured in terms too strong No motive can BE-
found for it except that Capt. Whiting adhere"
TO the American flag, and carries no other. There
is no question but that had the Marion ret The
Palmetto colors, timely assistance would have
been given her. The extinguishing of the lights
and the removal Of the buoys was bad enough
and thoy who did it probably excuse the act on
the ground of paramount necessity; but the con.
duct of Capt Relyea hos not even this sem.
blance Of excuse.
P. S.-Taesday Ersning.-The city lie greatly
excited in consequence Of the reported sailing
of the Star Of the West from New-York, with
several hundred soldiers to reinforce Major An
derson, which 10 generally believed. Military are
paradDg the streets, in expectation of tho coming
Of the Star, and warm reception is promissd
her. The batteries will DO mspned tonight With
On extra force, and q lively time may be expected
Another element of excitement is the report
that the Marion, or some one BY her, brought
dispatches for Major Anderson, and that the
steumer put the messenger of at Fort Sumter.
There is, believe, not the slightest truth in the
report, which has no other foundation, probably,
than the long delay of the Marion on the Breakers
What adds to the conspicuousness oil the Marion
on her arrival is the publication of thu patrio'ic
letter Of Capt Whiting declaring that he would
cease to snil when be could no longer hoist the
American flag.

nature, the people are determined on separation
from the Free States; they say they are justi6ed
in separation; they deny that the Federal Gov.
eminent has any right to ooerce them to remain
in the hated Union; and they declare that any
attempt to keep them by force in Uuen from
" ch they are separated BY an sptagoism more
insurmountable than fortresses, au antagonism OF
ideas and sentiment, Of, in one word, the entire
fabric of civilization win be resisted 70 the bitter
end. This il the language Of old and young,
male and female, in nearly oil ranks Of society,
ond this is the midest language which 10 heard.
There may be some whom selfinterest or more
far.seeing patriotism, and clearer realization Of
the blessings Of the Union, has led to different
opinion, but they are silent amid the noisy
demonstrations Of the rash and boisterous, while
the soldiery are well nigh uncomfortable in their
desire to eight somehow with somebody.
Imagine their condition. Many Of the volun.
teers are mere youth, sent here BY their patri.
otto mothers and sisters, who are watching with
deep emotion the progress Of events in which
their cons and brothers are TO stake their lives.
So the domestic affections, devoted in ordinary
times to the family relations, are now enlisted
with ell their sacred power on behalf Of tho
cause of the patriots. And thus the South Caro-.
linisn, prompted by his impetuous nature 10 rush
into war, is at the same time inspired by the
strongest emotions Of bis heart to fight noble
fight, and to make himself worthy Of the hopes
that follow him, and the favors that are to be
layisbed on the hero. This would all be exceed
ingly romantic, if only something deserving the
name of war could be coaxed into existence.
They want pitched battle with hostile army Of
"Federalists," as they are called, while unpro-
pitous Mars places within their reach only the
handful Of men at Fort Sumter aud the 200 or
3CO in the Star of the West. With this grapd
passion, is it not cruel that they should sigh in
vain for throats 10 cut and cities TO lombard
And worst Of all should they in final despera.
ton, make an attack on Fort Sumter, it s more
than probable that the only result would be to
expose the cotton wharyes Of Charleston to the
hot shot of Maj. Anderson.
The negroes, here, am told, are enthusiasti
cally devoted to their masters and are disposed
to fight for them. Their labor has already been
of much service, and it was African muscle that
raised the battery which repelled the Star Of the
West.
The Volunteers are unfortunate again to-day.
Mr.. Sydney Weeks of Edgfeld, s. c., feu this
morning from the FIRST story Of the armory at
the arsenal and was much injured internally.
This is carnival for boys. The streets are
alive with them, and, as / write, hear their
shouts under my window.

Union has been made the theme of great dea

suppose, for protection against aggressions from

INDEPENDENCE and freedom, the safeguard of lib

been to extend and perpetuate slavery. :" hen
the thing has changed its nature shall l love ii
merely for its ramel Our fathers had union
with England that had lasted nearly two centu-
ries-a union that made them partakers of the
renown of Britain-that made them part and
parcel of great nation. But when the mother
country sought to abuse her power they said
=. union upon such terms is kerry - it is
not the union we have loved and cherished, and

What kind of a union is desired one of despot-
