Liebig, the quantity of soap consumed bv i
nation would be no inaccurate measure wbcro
by toestimate its wealth and civilization
Political economist, indeed, will not give !,
this rank but whether we regard it as olo
or earnest, it is not the less true, that, of two
countries, with an equal amount of popula
ton We may declare with positive certainty
that the weathiest and most highly civilized
is that which consumes the greatest weight
of soap This consumption does not sub
serve sensual qualification, nor depend upon
fashion, but upon the feeling OF the beauty
comfort, and welfare, attendant upon clean
liness and regard to this 9ccling is conc
dent with wealth and civilization. The rich
in the middle ages who concealed want of
cleanliness in their clothes and persons un-
der a profusion of costly scents and essences
were more luxurious than we are in eating
and drinking, in apparel and horses. But
how great is tho difference between their
great days and our own, whcna want of clean
illness is equivalent to insupportablo mi scry
and misfortune
STURGEON AND THE YANKEE.-A gentle
man who has returned from England relates
an anccdotc that is too COOL to be lost The
great preacher had for his theme one day, the
power of individual, personal effort, and to
illustrate it he told story of n +" Yankee"
as he called him, who boosted that he could
whip the entire English nation himself
And how would you do it ? asked bystand-
cr. Why said the Yankee, [ would take one
Englishman at time, | would kill him and
then | would take another, and so | would 90
along till had whipped Tie entire nttion.--
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Spurgcon, the
relator of the anecdotc, and several friends,
retired INTO the vcstry. Soon there came in
tall, long faced, solemn looking individual,
who hailed from the State of Maine He
presented to Mr.. Spurgcon letter of intro
duction, and was welcomed by the preacher
Soon Mr.. SpurScon addressed the new conner
by saying:
"Wcll, my American friend. how did you
like my Illustration of individual power,
drawn from your countrymen 2"
90, said the member Of Pine Tree State,
was well pleased with it because it was so
true And this was said with the utmost
$oicmnity of tone and gravity of manner.
SO true so true !" said Mr.. Spurgcon;
" what do you mean, sir ~
81 knew Yankee that did that once"
was the reply
And what was his name 2" Mr. S. asked.
To which the Yankee answered.
The name, sir, was George Washington
perhaps you have heard Of him.
Mr.. Spurgcon WAS dun for moment
He then engaged in hearty laugh and allow
ed that the Yankee WAS too much for him.

the militia of town and country, numbered
rather more than 5000 men. The first South
Carolina Regiment was stationed at Fort John
son, and commanded by Col Gadsdcn. This
| Fort (Which We have not mentioned beforc)
is at the north end of James Island, three
miles from the city. The second and third
regular Regiments, under Coils Mouluie and
Thomson, were stationed at the two ends of
Sullivan's Island The rest of the troops had
posts at lladdock's point James Island, and
all along East Bay, III front of the city The
stores on the wharvcs were pulled down, and
lines OF defence were continued all along the
streets by the waters edge Had the British
attacked the city, they would have met with
n very serious resistance from men determined
to sell every inch of ground with their lives.
Mas these very scenes appear about to be
acted over again. But oh how differently
under circumstances how much more humi-
inting and sad The compact afterwards vol
UNFAIRLY entered into between those thirteen
independent and sovereign States, has been
broken by the conduct of the Northern States
towards their Southern brethren. Our Pal
mctto State has been compelled to seccdc from
the Union then formed, and so will all the
rest OF the Southern States be compelled to
ego and do likewise" This time, however.
the swords of our Northern countrymen will
not aid us, but be turned against us; but
now, as then, South Caroinians will DISPUTE
every inch of ground face to face with the
toc and only sell it with their lives. The
government that should have fostcred and
protected us, will try to cnslavc or destroy us,
and our foes will be those of our own house
hold" The forts in our own harbor of Char
lesion will be turned against u.s. even our
gallant Palmetto Fort belongs to our enemies.
May God forbid this worst of all wars-civil
war between descendants of those who toncth
cr fought for their liberty and independence.
But if war must comc Carolinians will never
give up,
We did not mention Fort johnson before,

the blackbcrrics we have gathered on its site
many time, too, have we run up and down
the sand, piled up by the wind, outside of
Fort Moultre; walked up and down on the

the ladies of the officers of the T. s. Army,
IN their barracks. 1t is built in a hollow
square, and it was in the court yard of this
Fort we saw the Indian Chiefs Occola, Mican-

EXI0RTATION TO PRAYER.--Wc clip the
following paragraph from the Southern Pres
byteran of this week:
We have hoped and prayed that South
Carolina might be permitted in peace to fol
low the path she has selected. She has done
everything she could to avert the dire neccs-
sity OF the use of arms. She held out the
olive branch. She sent her Commissioners to
ask an amicaDie adjustment of affairs. She
refused to take advantage of the weakness of
Fort Sumter when 1t was in her power. iIcr
efforts were in vain. Pledges on which she
trusted have been violated. Her Commis-
sioners were ANONYMOUSLY repulscd All her
ovcrtures have been contemned, and the myr-
midons OF power have attempted to invade
her territory, to compel her submission to
Government from which her people have
unanimously resolved to separate themselves.
"There could be no alternative A war
thus forced upon her must be met with uuwa-
! vering purpose. in such contest we may
confidently believe that the impenetrable
shield of Divine protection will be held over
the cause of right and justice The arm OF
the God of battles will defend the innocent
and injured.
" Wo need not exhort our readers to the
duty of earnest and importunate prayer in this
critical hour. Our hope and help are in the
Lord our God"
