We regard the letter from iter Tilhuan to Gen Anderso inexcusable blunder both 1 the part of the writer and th ceivor. The former displ poor taste and patriotism in vising a hypocritical attitudi the State militia, and the I showed poor judgment in gi the letter to the lycss.

The time has put behind us to question the ilom of the cause our jjovcrni lias pursued.

We therefore think grace iu our senior scnat ?r aing the militia "to simply tue iu attitude of willingness and lie outdone by other States." we are as lo\nl to the natit our senior senator would I mi tow uour 01 congress, trier us "to simply assume an atti >f willingness" would bo h risy, and not the loyalty ?ruo men have to oiler their < try. We were opposed to the wa ive hud a right to be, and i -eason of our argument we t lave done something to iverted war we would have proud of our efforts, but w nere, the ration is involved i foreign foe, and the Americans must not "sitnph sumc an attitude of willingne but thov must respond to the of their country with even i enthusiasm than the Spaniard when their ruler sounded the sin. South Carolina has been ho ly misrepresented to the worl some who ought not to have so, and when Governor Kl calls for volunteers, the cditi the News and Courier, who graphed to Washington, that South Carolina militia refus light in Cuba or out of the St will see that the militia ot State sire ninile im ??t* mnn "I- " l>onst of being Carolinians an records of their ancestors, nilitia of South Carolina wi necessary, go to Cuba or where elso thoy arc ordert ight for their country, "the )f the free and the home of >rave."
