that American diplomacy has succeeded In alarm

No great importance should be attached 10 the
willful retention Of pretext for war. Grave as
the evils OF war would be, il would be better for
England to face it at once than to submit to intol

menced for the purpose of avenging on England
the recognition Of belligerency which was stimuli

via Panama, from any portion Of the South or
West, has to go first to New Yorkin order to
reach the steamers that sail for those places.
After travelling three days to New York and
three days on the steamer he is within ono
hundred miles Of the point he should have en-
barked from (say Charleston), and the rea &C n
Of this long detour is that the steamers that
ply between these points are of such great draf It
that thoy cannot enter any port south o. Cape
Hatteras except Port koyal, and that if there
was road to Port Royal person could leave
Chicago at the same time the steamer leaves
New York ana intercept her at Port Royal,
thus saving the voyage from New York to Port
Royal.
The NEWS is very much concerned at this
prohigate expenditure Of money by the State;
but there is no money spent-only tho credit
OF the State is asked for-and this credit is to
induce these Northern speculators" to invest
their capital in the state. Is there nothing in
this? Sixteen hundred thousand dollars to be
spent on an enterprise in South Carolina, and
this money to be brought from other States.
Must not this large expenditure Of money in
building up permanent and progressive i'm
provoment in the State be worth the risk that
is asked of the General Assembly? The people
who live along the valley Of the Savannah
River, from Port Royal to Walhalla, think that
this project has some merit in it. But it will
not do. The CHARLESTON DAILY News does not
fancy it. A NATIVE.
