Sullivan's Island (South Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 1
fty of whom are laborers, and the rest troops belonging to the artillery branch of the United States service. These latter are sufficient to man about one-half the guns of the fort, supposing the guns were all mounted. Fortunately, however, this is far from being the case. Out of seventy- five pieces of heavy ordnance now in the fort, only eleven are fully mounted. These are all casemate guns in the lower tier, and include the nine guns of that face of the fortress fronting towards Sullivan's Island. Two more of these casemate guns were nearly mounted on Friday evening, but the work of getting them in position is necessarily slow and tedious, and, with the force now at work, it is impossible to mount more than three guns per day at the utmost. The heaviest guns, too, which are the ten-inch Columbiads, have yet to be mounted. One of the casemate guns at one of the angles of the walls has been placed in position so as to cover Castle Pinckney. The garrison were on Friday evening

s they did, they would have been something more, and that never was intended. Their history is the grandest lesson ever vouchsafed to mankind, and it is so because they were but men, and did merely, what other men would inevitably have done had they been placed in their situation. Yet, as the Jews themselves would not profit by all the warnings and all the examples that were set before them, so no nation has ever yet profited by the example of the Jews. Men seem to fancy that Providence does not superintend the rest of the world, as it superintended the Jews, merely because it was thought good to reveal its workings in connection with them. Thus, though they have not only Moses and the Prophets, but Christ and his Apostles, and the grand example of Jewish history before their eyes, we find them following precisely in the footsteps of the Hebrews, murmuring at everything, satisfied with nothing, and quarrelling with their lot only because it affords no just ground for quarrel.

ages. The transactions of the Greeks and Romans hardly appear to us the transactions of men such as we are.--We regard them through a medium so dusky, that it is as if we saw them through smoked glass. It is a shock to the imagination to see a genuine Egyptian mummy — to find that the subjects of the Pharaohs were men not larger than we are upon an average, and probably not so large — and that in all respects they were physically like ourselves. Alas for the race of demigods, of whom old Homer discourses so eloquently, not a mummy nor a skeleton of one of them has been found. Perhaps he himself would account for it by saying that they had been translated to the skies, and made stars of, or devoted to other purposes not quite so useful. But the reality is not to be found, and what has been found gives the lie to the old poet's constantly repeated theory, that the race of men is in a constant process of degeneration, and the demigods of one age excel the mere men of the next.
