Ring ofthe Old Metal.?"Resolved," says tli6 late meeting ofthe Democracy, in Pike couuty, Pennsylvania, "That the Government of the United States has no right to coeice a sovereign State." Capt. SemmeS is about to become the historian of his own exploits, aDd two Arms in New York hnto announced the re-publicnlton of his book, now preparing in England : "The Cruiser ofthe Alabama and Sumter, from the Private Journals of the Captain." The newspapers are now referring to a volume of naval sketches written by Semmes when onboard oftlieUnited States' vessel, the'&miers, as affording proof of fair literary ability. Charleston".?The subjoined article, which we appropriate from tho Carolinian, of Friday last, is 60 just, and ho felicitously expressed thnt we can not deny ourselves the pleasure of republishing it, although huiuuwnai xorig lor our wee sheet: Every uewspapbr in'tho Conl'ederacy keeps n corner for the brief daily report of the siege of Charleston. When these terse bulletins first began to appear in the columns of the^Courter and the Mercury, they. were read with an interest as peculiar as it was profound and universal. *pieif meagre, colorless descriptions; their calm, laconic narratives; above all, their cool summary of shots that missed and shots that- hit, were found to bo more darkly and tprribly suggestive than the minutest do (ails of the most elaborate letter-writer could o?*>r - tw u?u. vrrauuaiiy, howfcVer; th^ repeated perusal of these pregnant but monotonous paragraphs caused them to assume the character of a "thrico told tale," until at last they lost, na the familiarity of their scenes and . incidents, almost all their power of affecting the imagination. In reading them now, it require* an effort upon our part to till out the picture of which they aro but the faint outlines. Yet they shadow forth ,too real and too heroic story to be altogether devoid of iutorest; while, ever and anon, as we glance them over, we encounter a phrase neither particularly new nor at1 all felicitous?generally, indeed, it is but the bare j record of nn oft occurring incident?which, .some* I how or other, seems replete with the same dread- J fill significance that marked the first lrcah reports.? j Thus, it happened, not long ago, that in picking up a copy of the Courier, our eyes fell upon a clause which simply announced that "tho enemy is putting upauewgun bearing "upon the city." As if by enchantment, the noble old sea-pott rose before our view in all tlio grandeur and pathos of its present situation. The lower p?rt of the' town, with im vacant dwellings, its shattered hearth stones, its dishevelled gardens, its empty streets, its dumb spires and deserted churches; the "Neck," as the other division of the city is callod, where the1 brave and bustling inhabitants of this besiogod place are conducting thoir ordinary avocations, within sound of the enemy's guns, nud not so far off from those guns but that an occasional shell helps to vary the dull routine of their business ; tho lovely bay which1, a few short years ago, was thronged with ships from1 every quarter of the world, which Is now ahnost as lonely and desolato as when its waves were disturbed only by tho canoe of some solitary Indian ; SutnU-r.'still brandishing its flag, lying like a fallen giant across the threslldld of tho harhnr MmiHw* , ??V..i.*D| "watching in grim delinnce the sea-coaBt opposite;" the loug, low line of Morris' Inland, dominated by that infamous flag, a glimpse of which irriiates one so much as to drive for a moment all the poetry of the scene from the head; lastly, the dim Atlantic, stripped of its solemn and- mysterious influonoe by the presence of three or four prosy looking Yankee blockaders ; in a word, the whole theatro of the touching drama which has been going on for tho last fourteen months within and around the metropolis of South Carolina, lay mapped out beneath our sight. No poem, no painting,* codld Worthily embody such a scene; for it derives its principal charm from thoughts which tho poet and tho paintor could, nticr all, but faintly express?yet-il will live rougbly sketched upon the page of the historian, with all its precious memories of Buffering hrawly on. durcd and danger gallantly mot, as Ion.. .or* and fortitudo are admired upon the eartl duty in South Carolina, especially, to k . i '<<". *, fresh in our minds.

As we value that feeling of State pndo which has done so much to place South Carolina ih tho front rahlc of both the councils and the battles of tho Western world, let us avoid this error. We, at least, who occupy a region of which Charleston is'tho immediate bulwark, will not ignore her glory. A Canadian Eulogy of Ceil. Eee. In the New1 York Metropolitan Record of July 22d, we find an admirably written review of the Federal campaign of 1864, copied frdhi the Montreal Telegraph, from which we extract the following! , So far, we repeat, the campaign has failed at all points. The Federal armies have been hurled to certain slaughter by a hard-heartcdncss *r? r. ... - - huisc i*ijciii ueviiisu. i>o vjeneral ever exhihiited so great an indifference to tho lives of his soldiers as Grant. It is impossible to say that his ffrmy has not fought well/and endured all tho hardships, dangers and labors of the campaign with heroism and docility. They were directed by a biitchor, and opposed by the greatest General of this or any other age. Posterity will rank Gem Lee above.Welliugton or Napoleon, before Saxc or Turrefme, above Marlborough, or Frederick, before Alexander or Coasar. Careful of the lives of his men, fertile in resource,a profound tactician, gifted with the swift intuition which enables a commander to desccrn the purpose of his encmjr, and the power of ^rapid combination, which enables him to op ? pos&to it a prompt resistance; modest, frugal, self-denying, void of araogance-or self-assertion; trusting nothing to chance; among men, noble as the noblest, in the lofty dignity of the Gliristiaq gentleman; among patriots, less self-seeking and asjpurc as Washington; and among soldiers, combining the religions simplicity of Hevelock, with the genius of Napoleon, the heroism of Bavard and Sidney, arid the untiring, nevcr-faltcripg duly of Washington. If this great soldier had at his command the forces and material against which he is called on to contend, tbe superiority 011 land and the supremacy aid water, in six months the whole Federal States would he prostrated at his feet. Asitis, he has made his own name, and that of the Confederacy he serve*, immortal. ? Kuskin on Dcnuiitrk.

From Mexico.?The latest news w.q jtftite from Mexico is a letter from Mataraoras of the 25th July, which presents the state of affairs in that country as being by no means H& unfavorable for Jaurez as Maximitlian's Organs havo lately tried tor make the world believe. The statement that Urago deserted Jaurez and submitted to the Emperor is refuted in the letter which contains a paragraph from a letter from Urago himself. Maximillian, even by tno showing of the $sta fette, and other o^ficipl oigans find many unexpected difficulties. It/ complains of the want of assistance ^nd co-ope-' ration from the influential citizens who heretofore were opposed to Jaurez, but they* do not / seem to like Mmfeamilian any better.
