Philip dreaded as he passed down the stairs and through the hall, to again encounter tin lovely girl, whose approbation he felt so u? worthy to possess, and yet so much desired But he did not meet .Minnie, and it was main KUHiths before he saw her again. Steadily did Philip adhere to the resolves Ik had made, and the support he sought from : Higher power, was not sought in vain. Hi.< gar companions ridiculed him, tempted him filially deserted him, but after all tliey wen forced to respect him.

So entirely did Mr. Ritchie now trust Philip, that he took him into partnership, to the envy of all those gay fellows who had persisted in a wrong career, and still remained clerks, peer and in-debt. Philip passed the evening with Mr. Ritchie, on the day when their partnership waa declared. As they sate conversing together, Philip seemed a little uneasy, and his eye occasionally wandered towards the door. Mr. Ritchie observed it with a smile. < % 1. mnn " c? lit lift "T COA t* All I* thought* are not with me. You believed you hfld kept this secret from me, hut I have long kno.vn it."

A Sad Confession.?Not long since a weal thy merchant of one of our cities poured into the ear of a valued friend hi* bitter complaints j of the conduct of his two and only sons. " My >? life is rendered perfectly miserable by their reckless dissipation and shameless profligacy," (l said he.

The friend J : laid iiis hand kindly upon the merchant's shoulder, and inquired, "Where did your children learn to drink intoxicating stimulants ?" In the most impassioned manner conceivable, the r j wretched man exclaimed, "At my own table.' and O, sir," said lie, "that reflection is the most i hitter drop in the draught I am compelled to drain."

First, that a hostile enactI nient of the central legislature, sanctioned by ! an express provision of the Federal Constitu; tion, has been set at naught, and that the feeblest vibration of such apolitical disturbance ! would have toppled down one half of the EuI ropean thrones. The translation of which is, ! that the law in Europe would have been maintained at all hazards, while in (Ins country a proclamation of the President is deemed a sulRcieut vindication of the law. Another point: this sagacious journalist says, with some plan I siblo reason, it must he acknowledged that the i measure was expressly shaped to the end that ; popular convulsion might cause in the attempt j to execute it. In other words, that the men 1 who supported the fugitive law in Congress ! knew that it could not ho executed in the New England States. !

She was stabbed in the. throat near the left ear, and is supposed to have died very soon after receiving the wound. We know nothing oi the 1 particular* of this horrid affair, and must await development* which may be made by the Coroner's Jury of Inrqubst, which will take place this day. j Charlys K. Brewer has been arrested and com- J mitted to Jail, charged with the perpetration of the act. Who will say "Submit 7"' ^ There is a smaii pariy hi uhbchuio nnv ? ?. submission ; but so paltry and insignificant, that : like the worm, we walk a little round rather than take the trouble to crush. But there are some, a more respectable class, who are thoroughly opposed to secession now?but want cooperation? with these, lies the danger?and we ask them as friends in one great and common cause, not thus to sacrifice the State ; not that they are. desirous of so doing, but that course can event in nothing else. Cooperation is a vain and idle word, until after South Carolina makes the move. Was it not so in *76, though never so assiduously was it tried for; until the decisive blow was struck by one State. Soon another followed, and then an other, and then catne the glorious day of independence, still hallowed by every patriot?and still held up as a glorious precedent?the way-mark on the road to "Human right-." Thus let it now b*. South Carolina is now looked upon by all, as the State to lead in this crisis. And all the rest of the States say, "If she submits, we need not say anything mote, on resistance." And thus will we have upon us the double curse, of disgracing ourselves, and our sister States. No, let us talk of co-operation, but of secession first. Let us form a nucleus around which others inay gather. Let us sustain ourselves?our loriner character, and let each man ask himself; Who will submit ? ' A Good Idea. The courier in copying a paragrapu irom uir (eyifcgs^ sent to this place) to perforin in Camden a lew days ago, suggests its future course by compelling these itinerant Lecturers and Show men to settle in advance?the plan is a good one, and we have had sufficient cause to adopt a similar one. The Fakir of Siva?the performer of Hinrlo" Miracles, itc. has given us incontestible evidence of the treachery of the human mind, in its proneness to forgetfulnpss, in the way of liquidating small amounts, previous to departure. The Rule will be a good one, and we intend to adhere closely to it, in regard to all transient uncertain characters; they come here and get our money, and then try to swindle us, out of our dues. The following paragraph is the one we allude to: An individual calling himself Dr. Jrio. S. Starr, about six feet high, dark hair and eyes, fair complexion, stout una erect in person I wearing black coat and bat, white vest and drab | pants, an exhibitor of Gas, Ledgerdeinain, &c.,! was yesterday politely escorted over the Bridge. Information having been communicated to our public authorities, of certain circumstances connected with the recent visit of the professor of i the black art, prompt and ellicient measures were adopted to bring the great necromancer to such a development of his character and practices, as to satisfy our energetic liitendant that a full life exhibition of the itinerant vagabond should b? mad- at the Police Office. Facts have also been elicited of his masterly demonstrations on the phrenological organs of two lads inveigled bv him from Charleston, whom he u<cd as instruments in enabling him to accomplish some of his diabolical tricks, in way of purloining money, and converting the property of others to his personal use; tho said unwelcome and unwonted intruder was forced to quit lor parts- unknown, with positive orders ! never to "return on pain of severe corporal penalty. As we have sufficient reason to believe that the scamp hasbeen in the habit of inducing boys to commit thefts, and to desert their homes to confederate with him in furthering his vilainly , we take this method of cautioning the Hocus Pocus (lumhugand Impostor. We oopy the above from the Columbia Telegraph of yesterday. The illustrious individual alluded to, paid Charleston a visit a short time since, and had the impudence to call on us and request an editorial notice of his performance in adrance, which was of course flatly refused. He paid us back for the cool man?erin which he was treated, however, by decamping, leaving us minus his advertising hill, as many scamps , like n im have done before. 4 Ia??iii"ao on/I cliAfir imnn flint ' J ne iniK'railL U-cuica auu onwn nail mot 1 perambulate die country should be narrowly watched. Some are so well practised in the arts of deception as easily to deceive the unwoary. Such vulgar fellows as Dr. Starr are estimated at a glance. If they make use ?>f our columns for their advertismeuLs, they must settle in advance. fcfiT'Jt is gratifying, exceedingly so, even occasionally to discover that there a few noble, generous souls, capable of appreciating South Carolina and her principles. In the midst of all the abuse and unjust villification which modern recreants have endeavored to heap upon her devoted head? the rcvilod and abused State of South Carolina 4 4* . .
