One gentleman is anjeioua. to remove the < vpabtdwn* that keeps alive- this (ferment..' J Another opines that 'narrow-minded peo* pie are always jealous ofpowerswbich they | do not possess themselves.' A third is a- < ware tnat.'demagogues are preparing to use ' the smothered feeling in ^he country for < their own advanoement.' And the Secre- ? tary of War himself (a member of and a i paid officer under the Convention) stoops '< from hia emincncs to charge a portion of > tiie people of South Carolina with a crime ' akin to treachery, because tbey are not < disposed to submit to' what they believe to ' be usurpation and tyranny. 5 This very condition of things ought to 1 be enough to prove that', the body has out' ? lived its legitimate limits, and is no longer t the people of South Carolina. * Bat the people are taunted from the high Beats of. power, and tbey .have at least a 1 perfect right to fling back, imputations up c on their patriotism from whatever, quarter 1 they may come. It is doing tbem gross in- 1 justice to say that their latedemonsfratians i in almost .every portion of the State have 1 proceeded from any other cauBe than an * earnest desire to conserve the true interests and to guard the ancient obaracter of South s Carolina. Witnessing a great- and radical change in the structure of their State Oov- f era meat, and'keptinthe dark as to the <! reasonstbat were supposed to make such a ? change imperious, was it not most natural \ that they shofcld at ouee take the alar in and 0 give the note of warning to those who had r been (suddenly and in great haste) author g ized to effect their severenoe from an al- V ready existant despotism ? Was it to be 1 szpeoted'that-men who were ready to peril i ill to he free from the shackles of tyranny/ d should look patiently upon what bad at e least the semblance of the same evil 1 fe ' JNo one" ever accused the Convention, of r their Council, of bad purposes. All are true Southerners, all are true patriots, in South Carolina. It was the error in prin- f ;ipie, it was the. precedent dangerous to 11 ibertyt against which popular" opposition I irose. And this very opposition will serve a io adorn the history of our State in future * rears. n . It was, and is, idle to talk about danger * o the Southern cause from this opposition. a rhe little turmoil in Sooth Carolina's in- * ernal affairs is not felt, scarcely observed, ^ mtside the. State. The management of he war is in the hands of the Confederate d government, and there it properly belongs b fhe Secretary of War of South Carolina is e lot known upon the great current of events b hat flows steadily on to 'our deliverance, b We mean no disrespeot to this official.- It b s bis misfortune to occopy a position of ho. A mportaoce in the eyes of the people of the & donfederacy whilst actually offensive to a d arge number of his immediate fellow-citi- tl sent. -No?it matters not to the Southern f( jause at large whether South Carolina is in 11 rouble about ber internal affairs or not, irovided she furnishes, as she has done, tl ler foil quota of men to the service. . But-jei \ does matter, in the eyes of her own peo- w >le, whether her State Government shall ei sonform to republican principles or run off b vildlj into a new experiment verging to- si vards the hateful rule of an oligarchy. ci No manner of harm (but the very con- 01 rary) has come of the people's agitation 0 ind discussion of the Convention's doings; ^ md that members of- this body shonld e- st rince impatience of such agitation, is good ai ;round for concluding that the Convention las outlived its spirit and purpose. w The people are calm aDd resolute in their tl ionviction8;?it is the Convention that has ai nanifested excitability. Its members have w lonbtless been actuated by the highest sen- w iments of-patriotism. But the people saw 01 hat their' Convention, although an able ssemblage in point of scholarly learning ol nd legal lore, was not composed of that m lard, common-sense material so much needd in an emergency like the present. The J leople saw this, and preferred to think for hemselves. Thus thinking, they^ have C poken their judgment as every free penile should do; and that judgment will be w arried into effeot. ? Having said thus muoh on the part of ^ he People adversus the Convention, we iow desire to hail that body's recent action s looking to a restoration of the people's ights to their regular and snffioient State ^ J-overnment. The vox populi has had its ffect, and the Revolution will be revoluionized without giving moral aid to Linoln or in the least impairing the ability of ^ he Confederate States to maintain their odependence. Let us then go back to the ;ood old way quickly, and, forgetting the P auses of our late disagreement, let us press 'a srward again harmoniously in the work of gr ur political salvation. ? ar - afl Running the Blockade. ?e Did it ever strike any body that if a steam- 18 r with an "assorted cargo" of Yankee f?1 oods, taken in at Nassau, attempts to run re be blockade, she generally does it; and if ie same steamer takes out cotton to Na9- r?i tu, to be immediately taken thence to New &ri rork or Boston, she somehow slips out with- th; at the blockaders seeing her. foi But let a vessel have a cargo on board lat does not come from Yankee land, and m< le blockaders are wide-awake, she is done hii >r certain; or let her try to run out with m( jtton not intended for the Yankee mar- rei * and she is bound to be picked up.? ust keep ji>w? open and see if this to ' not abont so.

We have the gratification of being ible to announce tbat the battle resulted in )oe of the most complete victories tbat-has pet immortalised the Confederate arms.? Che ball was opened on Tuesday evening ibout six o'clock, all of obr available force ibout sixty thousand strong, commanded by general Robert E.

Tbe position of >ur army was upon a range, of hills, form-v og a semi-circle, with the concave toward he enemy ; the latter ocoupying a less comnaoding position opposite,' their extreme ight resting upon a height commanding mr extreme Jelt.

The effect, \ nstead of discouraging,. fired them with G determination and revenge, and they dashd forward, drove the enemy back, and e ept them from the position daring the p est of the day. :? ^It bhing evident that the "Young Napo- c son," finding he: could nbt force hts way ] hrough the in vincible ranks of our army c a that direction, had determined upon a t ankjnovemeottowards Harper's Ferry, ( nd thus obtain a position in oarTear, Gen. a iee, with ready foresight, anticipated the s nfisomcnt Kv rfrWino fhfl mm'n Kndu nf ki? - rmy back on the southside of the Potomac d t, Shppberdstown, Virginia, -whenoe he D rill, of coarse, project the necessary com- n inations for again defeating his adversary. r The enemy's artillery was served with ii isaafcrous effect upon onr gallant troops ; b ut they replied from musket, howitzer, and t annon with a rapidity and wilt that carried o avoc amidst the opposing ranks.

A Contrast. Tbtf Albany, (N.. Y.) Atlas draws the following oontrast between tbo Yankees and the Confederatessir v _ -v.. At a pablio meeting in New Hampshire, Senator Hale, of that State, is reported to bare said: "I 'may be ordered to Port Warren for the expression that I am a boat to make, bot l do not hesitate to declare, that there is nothffig that can parallel the exhibition of ability, vigor and resource shown by the Confederate Government, except the incapacity and imbecility of onr own."

In Jibe name of common fairness, we remonstrate against an; effort to .attach another Executive Council of'controlling authority to any future -Governor- of South. Carolina. The friende*of the' present Governor, although deeply mortified by the circumstances which have snatched from his administration (gloriously"begun) the honor of a successful and satisfactory prosecution and accomplishment, are nevertheless indisposed how to carp at what is past. If the arrangement has given any gratification to the personal Animosity which evidently exists in South Carolina towards, that geh-' rlenfan, or if it ba* calmed the nerves of those -who supposed that bis decision, of purpose and independence of action wonld plunge the State into untold difficulties, it has perhaps subserved two of its ends; We doubt not, moreover, that it has given relief' to many good men who honestly, beieved that the times oalled for a five headjd dictatorship. However all this may Ire we are ready to say with many of the people : let it pass, provided the precedent be ibolished at once and forever.' It is how proven to have been unnecessary and un;aUed for.
