PAYINs THE COST.

South Carolina is at last reaping tho
consequences of her treason. Though
the chief instigltor of the rebellion, her
people have yet, until very recently, al
most entirely escaped the evils which
have fallen upon the sister States which
she hurried into participancy of her mad
crime. While the war OF her creation has
depopulated other sections, ravaging the
fields, Obliterating towns and cities, and
filling whole communities with suffering
and death, disaster has not come near her
doors; her fields have not been devastat-
ed; her people have only now and then felt
the pressure of calamity. But at last,
to her lips also, the chalice is presented.
The danger she has defied is upon her
in fatal earnest. A hostile and rresisti-
BILE army treads her soil laying waste her
luxuriant plantations, arresting her GU
tivation, breaking down her naughty
pride and intlicting upon her people, with
fullest measure, the losses and pains which
they have braved and scOrned through all
the years of conflict. Now, if never be-
fore, South Carolinians will learn what it
is to have a great army, stirred and NOV
ed by memories of the part they have
played in precipItatlng the nation into tho
bloody struggle, sweeping with Implying
purpose over peaceful fields. and through
affrighted and defenSeless towns. Now
following the desolating track of Sher-
mans majestic columns, and witnessing
everywhere the wreck and ruin they have
lett as memorials of their presence, these
rebel cavaliers who claim to be better
stuff than Puritan mudsills, aud boast n
purer blood than flows in Northern veins,
may see how fearful is the crime they
have committed, how terrible the punish
ment it has invoked, and how false all
their pretenslons of superiority, and all
their hopes of defense against aroused
national law.
Nor will she find sympathy in her suf-
ferings. Now she has sowed the wind;
when the whirlwind is come, proStrating
all her vaunted strength and carrying
desOlation everywhere, She must content
to sit, unpited, among the ruins. The
thousands CS homes she has filled with
mourning, the unnumbered hearts she
has wrung with anguish. are all wit
nesses of the justice of her punishment
The law of compensation enfOrces mex
orably its own fulfillments, and the pre-
iectors of this rebellion cannot escape
its inevitable power. Some perception
of this truth seems to have dawned in
the minds of the South Carolina con-
spirators, and now flashes out through
all their frantic appeals for help.

THE coNFEDERATE NEGRO soLDlEs.

The provisions of the Confederate bill
to force the blacks into the military SER
vice, are, 1st the President is authorized
co ask for and accept from the owners OF
slaves the services of such number OF
lble- bodied negro men as he may deem
expedient, for and during the war, to per-
form military service in whatever capaci-
~ he may direct, to be organized under
rules of the War Department, and com
manded by officers appointed by the
President.
I'd If the President shall not be able
0y this process to raise sufficient num-
Der of troops, then he is authorized t.
call on each State, whenever he thinks il
expedient, for herQuOta of 300, 900 troops.
IN addition to those subject to military
service under existing laws, or SO many
thereof as the President may deem ne
cessary, to be raised from such classes OF
the population, irrespective Of color, in
each State, as the proper authorities
thereof may determine.
It is futher provided that nothing in
this act shall be construed to authorize a
change in the relation of the said slaves.
The free negroes are swept in, of course
The States will contribute them without
reserve.
1t is shown by Mr.. HUNTERS statement
that the chances of accepting from the
owners the services of their slaves are
slim, since the authority to impress 40
900 for laborers, which was given last
September, has brought but 1000. The
call on the States will have to be resOrted
to. But calls on the States for troops
have not been very reliable, even when
there was no question of slavery in the
way. What will be the chances now
when the call raises this difficulty, and
when several of the State Governments
probably majority of them-are hostile
to the enlistment Of slaves?
North Carolina has officially expressed
her disapproval. The Governor of GeOr-
gia strongly objects So does the Cover
nor and the whole State Of South Caro-
lima. And the Gulf States are generally
opposed to all interference with their ne
groes on any pretext or necessity what
ever. In the Confederacy as the Demo
cratic party would have it, the neglect of
one State to respond to acquisitions for
men or money, was sufficient reason foT
the rest to omit them. Secession princi-
ples will furnish facilities to their dispos-
ition; and judging by the temper already
shown we are led to the conclusion that
the reauisitiOn provided in this bill will
utterly fail to bring men.-Ctn. Gazette

Travels Like Pisen.'

Travels Like PiSen.''
The electric telegraph is bound to remain
mystery to the million, and the ludicrous
conceptions of its m0dlGs Operd11dj, which
some of the most ignorant people have
! formed, are as mirth-provoking as any
thing out of Rabelias or Smollet. The last
illustration of this that has fallen under
our-eJ0s -is- the following story:
Not long since an old lady entered the
telegraph Office and said she had message
to send to Wheeling. In a few minutes her
note was deposited in dumb-waiter, and
ascended in mysterious manner through
the ceiling.
''Does that go to Wheeling?" inquired
the old lady.
Eyes, ma'am,'' answered the clerk.
''I never was there" continued she, "but
it hardly seems possible that their town
lies in that direction. When will get the
answer?
81 can scarcely tell ma'am; it may be
two or three hours.''
The old lady went away, and returned
in exactly two hours. just as she entered
the door the dumb-waiter came down
through the ceiling.
'"There is the answer, ma'am," said the
clerk.

qualification and astonishment.
''Now that beats ALL exclaimed she.-
f'BIess my heart; all the way from Wheel
ing, and the wafer still wet. That's an
awkward looking box, but it can travel
like pisen."
