een brothers bitter feuds will sometimes rise, And 'twas the cloud of civil war that darkened in the skies; I have not time to tell you how the quarrel first began, Or how it grew, till o'er our land the strife like wildfire ran. I will not use hard words, my boys, for I am old and gray, And I've learned it is an easy thing for the best to go astray; Some wrong there was on either part, I do not doubt at all; There are two sides to a quarrel — be it great, or be it small! But yet, when South Carolina laid her sacrilegious hand On the altar of a Union that belonged to all the land; When she tore our glorious banner down, and trailed it in the dust, Every patriot's heart and conscience bade him guard the sacred trust. You scarce believe me, children. Grief and doubt are in your eyes, Fixed steadily upon me in wonder and surprise; Don't forget to thank our Father, when to-night you kneel to pray, That an undivided people rule America to-day. We were stationed at Fort Moultrie, but ab

wrapped in a thin cloak, which effectually concealed his face and features from my view; and as I raised my head, he spoke: What are you writing, senator from South Carolina? I did not think of his impertinence at first, but answered him voluntarily, I am writing a plan for the dissolution of the American Union. (You know, gentlexpected to produce a plan of dissolution in the event of certain contingencies.) To this the intruder. replied, in the coolest manner possible, Senator from South Carolina, will you allow me to look at your hand, your right hand? He rose, the cloak fell, and I beheld his face. Gentlemen, the sight of that face struck me like a It was the face of Washington. After holding my hand for a moment, he looked at me steadily, and said in a quiet way, And with this right hand, senator from South Carolina, you would sign your name to a paper declaring the Union dissolved I answered in the affirmative. Yes, I said, if a certain contingency arises, I will sign m

nsign was attached to the cord, and Major Anderson, holding the end of the lines in his hand, knelt reverently down. The officers, soldiers, and men clustered around, many of them on their knees, all deeply impressed with the solemnity of the scene. The chaplain made an earnest prayer — such an appeal for support, encouragement and mercy as one would make who felt that man's extremity is God's opportunity. As the earnest, solemn words of the speaker ceased, and the men responded Amen with a fervency that perhaps they had never before experienced, Major Anderson drew the Star-spangled Banner up to the top of the staff, the band broke out with the national air of Hall, Columbia and loud and exultant cheers, repeated again and again, were given by the officers, soldiers, and workmen. If, said the narrator, South Carolina had at that moment attacked the fort, there would have been no hesitation upon the part of any man within it about defending the flag. --Baltimore American, Jan. 9.

Dec. 27.--A correspondent in Charleston says, Fight crops out everywhere, especially in the speech of youthful South Carolina; like New York Mose, he is literally spiling for lack of one. You might deservedly apostrophize him as John Willett did his son, With his hat cocked, with a fire-eating, bilina water-drinking, swaggering, military air, too, are you going to kill the wintner, sir? substituting for the last-named person the name of our sorely-tried parent, Uncle Sam. For information, the crack regiments of the North should charter a couple of steamboats and come on to Charleston, to the rescue of the forts; that the first shedding of fraternal blood may be precipitated in a manner congenial to the aspirations of youthful South Carolina! The same paper chronicles an application for five hundred of Colt's pistols, received from Alabama, under the title of Short armaments! Here, as a nineteenth century anniversary of the divine annunciation of Peace on earth and good will tow

The venerable J. S. Pettigru, one of South Carolina's noblest names, continues to bear witness to the Union against the traitors who surround him. He has no faith in the practicability of their measures, and is prepared for the worst results to the State and the country. Lately, while attending the church, where, by his presence, he for so many years showed that the character of the statesman was complete only when religion gave it grace and solidity — the services were purged (by nullificahe church, where, by his presence, he for so many years showed that the character of the statesman was complete only when religion gave it grace and solidity — the services were purged (by nullification) of the usual prayer for the President of the United States--the stern-hearted old patriot rose from his seat and left the church, thus giving a silent but pointed, rebuke to treason, where last it should be found, but where now, in South Carolina, it is most rampant.--Washington Star, Dec. 2

The Democratic office holders in New York threaten to hold over. Attorney-General Black has written to the Collector, that if South Carolina secedes it is a virtual dissolution of the Union, and that the Collector of the port of New York and his federal assistants are relieved from all further accountability, and have a right to collect and retain the revenues accruing here, and keep them until the legislature of New York or the city authorities attach the same. If a single State goes out of the Union, Mr. Schell regards it as broken up, and says, Lincoln is not President; and neither he nor any of the federal officials will resign or surrender their power and the public money to any except to the city treasury. Mr. John J. Cisco, the Subtreasurer, takes the same view. He has several millions at his disposal. A large portion is in bars of gold, valued at $1,000 each. These are being painted white, so as not to attract attention in case of being removed from the sub-treasury v

It is said that merchants and other men of property in South Carolina, are compelled by threats of personal violence, to become subscribers to the State loan. It is also reported, and there is no reason to doubt the truth of the report, that a tax has been privately levied on slaveholders, of $16 per head for each slave owned by them — a tax so onerous that, in some cases, the slaves will be confiscated and sold in order to meet it. This is a forced loan as thoroughly as was ever any loan during the French Revolution, or during the chronic revolutions of Mexico. The secession movement is in the hands of the mob; and. the planters, merchants, and other men of substance, are powerless against them.--Cor. Albany Evening Journal, Dec. 28.
