The Famine in South Carolina.

The Southern Famine Relief CommIs-
sion, of New York, have received many
letters from South Carolina, sll OF which
agree in representing the scarcity OF pro-
visions in that Stale as being Of the most
serious character. liexterds over nearly
The whole Stale, ard unless relief be
quickly given, nothing, II IS stated, can
prevent absolute starvation among the
poor classes, while large number Of the
planters and farmers will be left without
seed for the next crop. The New York
Post says:
Governor Orr writes that the desiilU-
ton IS so great and severe that five hun
deed thousand bushels Of corn are eslma-
ted TO be needed to feed The people, over
and above all that can be obtained within
the State. Colonel William Nelles, a
gentleman Of high standing 10 Sumter dis
triCl. has been in this city with bond
signed by about sevsny-fVe planters, in
which they pledge their next cotton crop
as security for about forty thousand dol
lars worth Of corn and bacon. He could
find no one 10 take his bond, and has le't
the city, after obtaining two thousand
bushels Of corn from the comDissloa for
the relief of The very poor of sis district,
saving that unless he could find some
persons in some other city 10 make the
necessary advances, he did not see how it
would be possible for the planters OF
Sumter district TO put in their seed The
present season.
A similar statement comes from the
most prominent men in Lancaster district
Of the same Slate, who offer 10 mortgage
their real estate as security for the corn
and bacon needed to supply the wants Of
The people until another harvest can be
gathered in.
Representations Of the same character
come from RicblaRG, GreenviIIe, Darling
ton and Greenwood districts, and il is be-
Iieved that at least one hundred thousand
people, ne-quarter Of the population OF
the whole Sale Of South Carolina, are
now in absolute need Of provisions, and,
# relief is not given, the number must in
crease every week until July.

Six Degrees OF Drunkenness.

the m ost foolish predcs ment man can get
into is TO get drunk. In drunkenness every
man shows bis strongest and most ardent pas
sion. There are SIX kinds Of drunkards, and II
you will go irto city drinking place where
there are n dozen men under the influence OF
Hquor YOU will be sure 10 find those SIX differ
eni characters, representing different animals.
Tbs first is ape-drunk. He leaps, and sings,
and wells, and dances, making all sorts of grim
aces, ard cutting up all sorts of monkey
shines" TO excite the laughter of his fellows !!
Terribly silly is the drunken clown.
The second is tigerdrunk. He breaks the
bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the heads OF
his fellow carousers, and is full of blood and
thunder. His eyes are fired with vengeance,
ana his soul raves with murderous Jury. vi
this sort is those who abuse their families.
The third is hog-drunk. He rolls in the dirt
on tie floor, sobbers and grunts, and gong IN
10 The street m; kes his bed in the first ditch or
filthy corner he may happen to fall into. de is
heavy, lumpsh and sleepy, and cries IN gFuu'-
ing way for little mole 10 drink.
The fourth is puppy-drunk. lie will weep
for kindness, and whine his love and hug you
in his arms. and kiss you with his sobbery lips
and proclaim how much he loves you. You
are The best man he ever saw, he will lay down
his money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl.drunk. He is wise in his
own concet. No man must differ with him,
for his work is law. He is true n politics, and
all matter must be taken as authority. his
arm is the strongest, his horse the fastest, his
turnips the largest his town the finest OF all IN
the land.
The sixth and last animal in the menagerle
is the fox-drunkard. He is crafty, ready to
trade horses and cheat II he can Keen TO S'flKe
a bargain, leering around with low canning
peeping through cracks, listening under the
caves, watching for some suspicious thing, sly
as fox she eaking as a wolf He is the meaness
