mid truthfully written,'that George listened as
to a fhartn, his features glowing.with pleasure,
and bis beaming eyes fixed lovingly on Laura's
face. \y
Just as Mrs. Cars well was commencing the
second chapter, the bahv began to cry, filling
the bouso with the shrill pipings of his little
voice. Of course, Laura, ever ready to leave
everything ta run,to herdariing child, and drive
its fears and troubles away with endearing kisses,
stopped reading and started to her feet.
'What a bother!' muttered George. It seems
' - i'ii. . .1 I...
to me mat ine cuiki is erosser uum ever uucij.
It never giveslns a minute's peace.
Laura remembered the part she was playing
at a most fortunate moment. Dashing her
magazine upon'the table with an impatient gesture,
she knit her pretty brows, anil exclaimed:
'I should think it might he quiet once; why
ran't it sleep while we are enjoying ourselves?
Where is Jane'I wonder, that she is not here to
take.care of ir ? But I suppose it will always
be so. Children are the curse of married life.
What people marry for I don't know! The
prospect of squalling brats is very delightful!
I'll send for a supply of parergoric before anotlier
night, and give it as freely as milk. I
I won't be tormented this way much longer.'
llrre, like too many actors, Laura overdid
h?r nnrt- It was nrehaos fortunate that such
( _ - , I
was the case. .At first George was prodigiously
astonished at this unexpected burst of passion.
Then he became terribly frightened, believing
her dangerously insane. But her overacting
was at last so apparent, that iier ill-humor was
no longer a mystery. Something like the truth
Hashed-upon his mind.
'It strikes rue that you find fault with everything,
to day,' said he.
'Haven't I a right to?' retrrted Laura.?
'Can't I complain as well as you? I've left the
duty of fault-finding to yourself long enough.
Now I am going to help you. I shall do my
share of it iu-future. If it is comfortable when
wo are joined together. We'll see just how
pleasent a home we can make of this!'
Mr. Carswell burst into a roar of laughter.
Laura, wholly unable longer to sustain her part,
in which site astonished herselfas well as George
relapsed from the furious into the mirthful
from tragedy into comedy?and laughed until
the tears rail' down her cheeks and fell ujmmi
the face of the darling child, which all the time
she was uttering her mad complaint, she had
been holding tenderly to her heart.
On the following morning at breakfast George
praised the buck wheats, pronounced the beefsteak
delicious, and drank and extra cup of
cofFeerdjgtjarjiig his inability to resist the temptation
of;its excellent qu .litv.
At dinner, the shrimps were cooked exactly
to his taste, and the chicken the most tender
and?avory in the woild, and all day the rooms
wercTouud to be of a most favorable temperature.
- Thus
things continued th-eedays, when Mrs.
Marston favored Laura with another call, and
inquired"ahout the 'success of her pluus.
' ''Ah,' said Laura, 'I can never express my
obligations to-you! Ueorge nas realty learned
to control bis temper, as I knew he would as
soon as he was aware how hateful his habit of
fault, finding bad become.'
Mrs. Marston was rejoiced at her friend's
happiness; for Lnurn was troubled tio more
with a cross husband.
But I ho|?e that no fault-finding husband
who rjads this sketch will impose upon their
wives'die necessity of following Laura's example.

Letter of Col. James Ghesaut, Jr.
/ e.t ... .
XfNHPed by the Committee of Inoitation of the
e Anti-Seccession Celebration at Greenville, 4>h
- - July, 1851.
[/ .Gentlemen: I hove the honor to ncknowli
edge your letter, under cover, dated 10 June,
/ inviting ino to meet the citizens of Greenv ille on
the 4th of July, and to address them on the suh
ject/of"sep'irate State secession." As it will he
inconvenient for nie to attend in person, 1 will
adopt the alternative you liave suggested, and
% letter give cxprcssi n to my views!
' The question which seems now to absorb the
/ j public miud in this State, is: Shall South-Carolina
secede from the confederacy before the
final adjournment of the convention lately caly
led by the legislature! This, is indeed, u preg
naut question; and for the people of this State to
give it, now, a positive and miqunlified response
not to be modified by the influence of political
necessities and policy, which may hear with
great force at the very time the decision ought
to be made, is, in my judgment, to pursue a
course that neither "justice sanctions, nor wisdom
guides!" Having no claim to presciences,
1 am uftantetosee, vrtui any certainty, me condition
of things which may then exist, to render
the act proper or improper at that time. I am
free, however, to consider the question as it presents
itself now which 1 will do, at the same
tirttc stating certain contingencies,upon the happening
of any of which I am prepared to become
the advocate of secession, but not otherwise.
Whenever the necessities of our condition
?ball become such as to render secession a
duty?whenever the preservation of the sovereignty.
the liberty u?d true honor of the iitate
shall require it?then I will advocate secession
with all my heart, and contribute to its successful
accomplishment with whatever of ability
and fortune it may please God to give me.
This, I would do, without regard to the concurrent
action on tuo part of other States; for, un
der such a contingency, there would seem to be
lio propriety in making the action of this State
depend on the concurrence of others. Our
sovereignty, our lil>erty aud our honor, are, and
must ever remain, in our own keeping; aud we
cannot make the defence of them depend on
the sanction of others. Here the question naturally
arises: Are the necessities of our political
condition such, now, as to render it our
doty to peril all of the State's interests, and put
them to the hazard of hardly a doubtful issue? If
so, we need not talk abont the concurrent action
of other States. We mnst go on, and secede
by the Convention, though it plunge us into
otter rain. I would adopt the just and spirited
language elsewhere used, and say: "If we are
to submit to the condition of a conquered peo
pie, we Lbiuk it less dishonorable not .to do so
until ne have first been conquered." But are
such, in fact, the necessities of our condition <
j noThe do not seem so to nie. And such, <
; I think, will be the conclusion of almost every t
| one who views the whole subject calmly. What i
I they may he at any time before the Convention i
shall finally adjourn, no man can tell. .Should i
they be such as indicated above, (which, in <
j candor, I do not expect,) then it seems clear to t
my mind, that the Convention ought to resume ;
all tiio powers by this State conferred on the j
i Federal Government, an! pass an ordinance of <
secession; hut not otherwise, unless we can pro- <
I cure the concurrent action of other Southern i
States. <
It is most true tint this State, in common :
with others of the South, has suffered injustice ;
i and injury from the action of the Federal Gov- 1 I
: eminent, Mud from the nonslaveholding States. 1
It is equally true, that this Stale, like other ;
i States, is exposed to the danger of having her I
! sovereignty absorbed, and of being left a naked :
I victim to the domination and avarice of a niigh- i
i ty consolidated despotism. These are fearful j
' dangers, and we are hound, by every consider- i
; adon,guard effectionatcly against them, llow I
i van this be done? An important inquiry, in the I
| solution of which I feel perfectly satisfied that ,*
! onr honor still leaves us at free liberty to adopt <
| any policy which may bring success, with the i
least possible evil ? while our safety requires i
j tint we shall not, by any foregone conclusion, i I
; debar ourselves from the advantage of all the
I probabilities that time and natural causes may ;
develope in oar favor. These causes, I think, j
j must be apparent to all who have observed the <
I character and operation of the Federal Govern- j
| inent, and who may justly believe in t: e spirit, <
, and intelligence, and know the intere-ts of the ,
; Southern people. I |
I have stated one contingency upon which j '
I should fell myself impelled, from the sense of j '
duty, to advocate the secession of this State, I '
regardless of the concurrent action of other <
States. I have stated, also, that, in my opinion I
and feeling, such contigency is not now upon '
us. But there are other contigencies, which,
haooeniutr. will place me under the like impul- '
sion. If we can procure concurrent acts of
secession by other States, before the final adjournment
of the convention; or, even, if it shall
become manifest that the prior act of secession
by this State, will produce similar acts on the
part of other States, within such time as the
exigency ol our position will require tbein. 1
think it will become onr best policy to break
the bands of the present Union, .for the purpose,
and with the expectation of forming a Southern
Confederacy.
To show this to he our policy, let any man
pot aside, for an instant, the ancient reverence
and time strengthened superstition that he may
bcur to the Union, ami regard it by the light of
truth and reason?compare the cuds itisae-.
eomplishing with the purposes of its institution
?mark also the usurpations, unfair discriminations
and hostile temper of the Federal
Government to our deepest, interests, with its
manifest tendencies under the control of a growing
majority, regardless of Constitution or law.
When he shall have done this in the spirit of
cool inquiry, I think he wiil not fail to conclude,
with me, that it is our wisest policy to.
seek new safeguards for our.future safety and
happiness. But how! Not, surely, by erecting
South-CftroHiia into a dist.net and separate Italian.
There is an abiding conviction with me,
not uusustaiued by probable reasons, that a
government so created would be, not only inadequate
to our wants and purposes, but most
likely, destructive of both. Such, also, seems
to hi? the conviction of uearlv all amomrst us. i
All persons, of' every party, if parlies there he, j !
who are resolved not to acquiesce i.: the hostile I
! domination of the Go . eminent, nor in the ol- j:
j fensive and injurious conduct of oar tree-soil ; '
! confederates, disclaim any such result as ei- j ''
j ther tlieir purpose or desire. I think therefore, i I
we may take it for granted, that all entertain '
a well-founded apprehension that the establish- 1
merit ol this State into a distinct and separate '
nation, with a view to its continuance as such,; 1
would, in reasonable probability, defeat the at- j !
taimneiit of those object which are essential to ;'
our happiness and safety as a people, if this I '
be not so, then there would seem to be no good '
reason why we should strive for the concur- *
rent action of other States, as all profess to be '
doing, or why this State should not, at once, 1
assume a separate and independent station a- I
mong the nations of the earth, If this he true, *
why, when not urged bv the necessities of our 1
condition, should we, by premature action, en- '
I MAiiubiD ftiA liuvtinl III til/ICO iliHoiilliou nT iirliiuli I
I ^WUIKVI lltMXIl U Ml IIIMtJV ?ll?f VU?HV.l VI fl IHVH
there seems to be so general an apprehension? 1
But it is urged, that, it this State will secede, j
though without the concurrent action of other 1
Suites, there will exist no doubt of their fol- '
lowing her example. This niuy be true?per- '
haps not itnprobahlc?for, as far as human 1
foresight can reach, it seems almost certain '
that the whole Union will be thrown into atoins.
There exist now, in its very core, the el- 1
ements of discord and combustion. Sooner !
j or later, it must be rent by these explosive ele- .
inents. But is this what we need or desire?
| Do we need confusion, or desire the endless \
petty wars of small and adverse powers? i\o, '
we know that Scylla and Charybdis are both
ahead, and vie must try to steer our little ship,
with honor and safety, between them. We
want, not onlv a new Government, hut a Gov
eminent adequate to afford us complete protection,
.and ready, also, by previous arange- 1
meats to move into effective operation as soon
as we tiirow off the old one.
If we secede now, without the concurrent action
of other States, or some of thein, is it
probable that they would follow us within
such time as would enable us to reap the benefits
that ought to arise from secession ? Look
at Georgia and North Carolina, for example.
They have already decided, each the question
for herself. Before we can expect them to
move with us, or soon after us, their decisions
must first be reversed. How can they be reversed?
By our leaving the Union ? 1 think not.
But by the effort of our Southern l ights friends
in those States to bring themselves into douiinant
majorities?which must happen, or truth
and nature have lost their power. When thev
obtain the oontrolof those States, then they will
coine along-side us, and with hearty good will,
join in a new and common Government. I do
not think we can reasonably e*peot this result
iooner. It ik supposed, hfifl'ever, that if we se- I
. ode without their concurrent action that our |
movement will quicken theirs. By secession :
ive shall become entirely foreign. There exist
iow, in those States, sullen and overwhelming
najorities against us, our cause and our Southern
rights ft iends. By our position as f< reign?rs,
is it not most probable that the consequence
ltid power of these majorities .will be increased
n their influence against a participation in our
muse! Our friends in those States would, for
some time, encounter the disadvantage of the
mputed attitude of parties acting against their
jountry. Man}'of them would he appalled,
tod all of them thrown hack, for few Georginis
would stand against the constituted autorifles
of Georgia, which, of course, would
>e, at the outset, in the hands of our enemies.
So with the other .Spates. They must all be
[hrown back; the battle mn-t begin anew
tinong themselves, and on issues raised by
hemselves. And u lien they tiiiiniph after long
ind fierce conflicts, can any man say it will he
ii time to meet our wants ? For lie it remembered.
that during all this while, we shall have
eon trying tho experiment of a distinct nationtiity.
In that experiment, under all the circuinstances,
I suppose no one believes it would take
is long to work out tlie result. At all events,
t would be aii experiment full of hazard, and
wizard incurred without necessity.
It seems to me, therefore, that our best policy
tint surest hope, will still be found in concert
tinong (lie Southern States. To procure this,
we must keep Iry thfir side for a long time yet,
ind leave them only when honor and duty
:ompcl. Delay may be vexatious, but the
ibjects in view arc well worth the trouble and
i.itience. I see no reason to despair. Already
the common cause lias made cheering ad*
ranco. The other Southern States ought to I e
illowed to he as spirited and intelligent as we
Mil claim to he. They have been retarded hy
he operation of causes not existing here, hut
he nature of which we very well understand,
i'hese causes, we are informed, are daily dininishiog
before the light and power of- truth,
eason and rigi t. From the first I have never
lespaired of Georgia, or the other States. It
s more than probable that she will he the very
li st to arouse, in the mightiness of her strength,
tnd join us in a common deliverance.
To obtain and secure this concert, I would
3e reconciled to any platform ?looking tore-,
sistance.?which our Southern rights friends in
>ther States might see fit to adopt. If necessa
y, I would use towards them the language of
lie Southern l ights associ lions of this State,
inploycd in their address to similar associ a ions
in, other Southern States: "And now,
strongly as we have expressed our belief that
here is no bo[ie for the South in the existing
Union, we are prepared to give a trial, fairly
tnd in good faith, to any effectual plan which
nay be proposed by any. sister State of th^
South, for obtaining redress for the past and

If it had ' been left to myself, gentlemei), I
should not have to trouble you with my views,
tor through you have obtruded them on the.

your respectful request. It is not inconsistent
with, the duty of any citizen, (perhu[>s it

should he curbed as little hy moral as by
ihysieal restraint; lor that kind of freedom constitutes
one of the must important safe-guards
jf the public liberty and well-being, Hut there
ire questions, from the very nature of which,
jreat danger is justly to he feared. In tiie free
liscussion of such, unceasing pains should ho
taken, to keep the discussion within the bounds
>1 cool argument and decorous language. As
nucli, gentlemen, as i am opposed to the secesdon
of this State ?except under the contingencies
I have mentioned?as much as I apprehend
from injudicious and premature action, if I
could deliberately choose, I would prefer to encounter
the attendant hazards ol secession than
:o liifht the torch of civil discord in our land,
o
to destroy our power and consume our prosperity.
It is better that tlie common enemy
mould do his own work. From the existing
character of the questions at issue, arid from the
jeep interest involved in the decision, 1 think
the State lias much to dread. While wu are
in conscience and honor bound to express our
opinions with manly independence, still, I think
t becomes us to subject our differences to the
only test worthy of sensible men and patriots?
to the test of cool argument and sound logic?
resolving to stand by the State, let the verdict
bo what it may.

originated from a spark falling upon the roof.
"DeZ." of the Transcript:
Our attention has been called, to a certain squib
in that juvenile, the Columbia Transcript, purporting
to be a letter written from Camden, over
date 24th in?t., and signed "DeK." We should
hot ordinarily notice such a pusillanimous attempt
at misrepresentations on t'ie partofan irresponsible
newspaper scribbler,' as there is really
nothing cf moment or consequence in the article.
But as some "might c.hanrt. to Fee it. who do not
know to the contrary, we have thought best to
give it a pausing notice. We take occasion here
to state that it is usual for correspondents who
have any regard for truth, or respect fur themselves,
first to ascertain fa Is, before they attempt
to enlighten the public. So far as "Separate secession
being at a discount here dtciiediy" is an
I assumption on the part of "DeK." voluntaryjand
not sustained by facts. There is no man here
who can sjieak "dtcidedly" upon ibis subject.
As fo; th- two Editors eating each other up,
"DeK "need give himself no concern on that
point. Should the two Editors obliterate the last
trace of each other, "DeK " will be in no danger.
We promise not to finish off on hiiu by way of
dessert, as there are certain animals not worth
eating, in which category toe place "DeK," and
his worthy compeers. He may also console himself
with the thought that "Eagles do not catch
flies.".
