f South Carolina's Secession. The following is the declaration of causes which justify the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union, as reported by the committee to prepare an address to the people of the Southern States: The State of South Carolina having determined to resume a separate and equal position among nations, deems it due to herself and the remaining United States of America and the nations of the world, that she should declare the causes which led to the act. In 1765 that portion of the British empire embracing Great Britain undertook to make laws for the government of the American colonies. A struggle for the right of self-government ensued, which resulted, on the 4th of July, 1776, in a declaration by the colonies that they' are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, and that as free and independent States they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do such things which independent S

The second ballot for two other Commissioners to Washington was unsuccessful. On the third ballot, Ex-Gov. J. H. Adams, and ex-Congressman J. L. Orr were elected to act with Mr. Barnwell as Commissioners to treat with the United States. The ratification of the Secession Ordinance — interesting Scenes.

President then requested the Delegates (by previous decision) to step forward as they were called in the alphabetical order of the Districts which they represented, and sign the Ordinance. Two hours were occupied in this solemn ceremony — the crowd waiting patiently the end. As the Delegation from St. Philip's and St. Michael's came forward, again the hall was filled with applause. And as the Hon. R. B. Rhett advanced to the parchment, the shouts became deafening, long-continued, until he had seated himself, signed and retired.--The same special compliment was paid to our Ex-Governor Gist, who recommended in his message to the extra session the immediate secession of South Carolina from the Union. At the close of the signatures, the President, advancing to the front of the platform, announced that the Seal of the State had been set, the signatures of the Convention put to the Ordinance, and he thereby proclaimed the State of South Carolina a separate, independent nationality.

th. In proud, grave silence, the Convention itself waited the end with beating hearts. The President then requested the Delegates (by previous decision) to step forward as they were called in the alphabetical order of the Districts which they represented, and sign the Ordinance. Two hours were occupied in this solemn ceremony — the crowd waiting patiently the end. As the Delegation from St. Philip's and St. Michael's came forward, again the hall was filled with applause.

nd people in the hall. The Convention was called to order. The scene was one profoundly grand and impressive. There were a people assembled through their highest representatives — men, most of them upon whose heads the snows of sixty winters had been shed; patriarchs in age; the dignitaries of the land; the High Priests of the Church of Christ; reverend statesmen; and the wise judges of the law. In the midst of deep silence, an old man, with bowed form and hair as white as snow--the Rev. Dr. Bachman--advanced forward, with upraised hands, in prayer to Almighty God for His blessing and favor in this great act of His people, about to be consummated. The whole assembly at once rose to its feet, and, with hats off, listened to the touching and eloquent appeal to the All-wise Dispenser of events. At the close of the prayer, the President advanced with the consecrated parchment upon which was inscribed the decision of the State, with the Great Seal attached. Slowly and solemnly it
