It ?8 a source of gratification to us to hear,
from timo to timo, of tho success und bravery

promptly to the call, and have, in several in

It is manly and bravo to peri I all on tho bal

triotie to contribute money and moans to altai
.the same ond, and it is glorious to bo oblo t
consummate both. Tho people of Pickons, wi'
an alacrity which does thom great credit, hav

nobly done her duty, and rolloctcd credit upo

are so earnestly ongngod.
Tho voluntoor corps of the District are con
posed of ull classes, though mun y of tho mc
are poor. There is another class in our mid.
who either cannot or will not volunteer. Man

opinion, yet been done.
Wo do not liko to look abroad for example
yet it is profitable sometimes tb do so. .1

- Mr. Russell's Letters
It will be rccollotcd that the London Times
.sent out to this country Mr. W. IL ItussKEt.,
us tts special correspondent, to obtain correct
information in regard to tho lovolution in tho
South. Writing from Charleston, Mr. ll.
says :
. CUARLKSTON, S. Ci, April ,10. -?. Kolbing 1
could say eau bo worth ono fact whico L..s forced
Itself Upon my mind in reference to the sentiments
which prevail muong tho gentlemen of this Stale.
I have bo/m among thom for several day?, l.hiive
visited their-plantations. 1 have conversed with
them fully and freely. I have enjoyed that trank,
OOUrfeoua and graceful intercourse which consti
tutes an irresistible charm of their society. From
all quarters lins como to my cars thc echoes of thc
Hame voice ; it ?tay bc feigned, but there is no
discord in tho note, and it sounds in wonderful
strength and monotony all over tho country.
'* Shades of George Ul, of North, of Johnson,
of all who contended against thc great rebellion
which torc these colonies from Kugland, can you
bear tho chorus which rings through tho State of
Marion, Sumler, and Pinckncy. and .not clop your
ghostly hands in triumph? That voico says: "If
wo could only gel of Hie Hoy til race ol' Kngbind .to
rule over us, wc should bc .coulent." bet lhere
bo no misconception of this point. That senti
ment, varied in iv hundred ways, has been re
peated to mo over and over again,
..Thcrotsa general admission that thc means
to suoli nn end arc wanting, and thai tho desire
cannot bo gratified. Hut thc admiration tor mo
narchical institutions on thc Pmglisli model, for
privilcdged classes, and tor a lauded aristocracy
and gentry, is undisguised and apparently genu
ino. With the pride of having achieved their in-1
dependence hs mingled in lite South Carolinians'
hearts a strange regret at tho result and con. o
qucnees, and many ur? they who "would go back
to-inorrotv, if wc cou! .."
?* An intense nfl'oot on for tho British connec
tion, a love of British habits and customs, a res
pect for British sentiment, law, authority, order,
civilization mid literature, pro-eminently distin
guish "he inhabitants ol this Stale, wdio, glorying
in their descent from ancient families on ibo three
islands, whose fortunes they still follow, and with
whoso members they maintain not iiufrcqucntly
familiar relations, regarded with nu aversion, ol'
which it is impossible to give an idea lo one who
has not seen ils manifestation, thc people of New
F.ngland and the Northern Stales, whom they re
gard as tainted beyond cure by the venom ol "Pu
ritanism."
" Whatever moy be tho cause, this ls the fact
and the effect : "Thc Stale of South Carolina,
was," I am lold, "founded by gentlemen." ll
was not established by witchhnrning Buril ans. by
cruel persecuting fanatics, who implanted in the
North thc standard of Torquemada, and breathed
into thc nostrils of their newly-born colonies ail
thc ferocity, bloodthirstiness and rabid intolerance
of thc Inquisition, lt is absolutely astounding
to a ?tranger who aims at the pr?servai ion of a
decent neutrality to mark tho violence of these
opinions."
We presume it is unnecessary tor us to deny
theso Statements. There nro net. perhaps,
filly persons in ?South Carolina holding the sen
timents attributed to hor people.
CONSKQUEN'CKS or TUB WAR,-An able edito
rial in tho Baltimore Exchange,of Monday last,
on tho respectivo abilities of the two sections to
carry on tho war, successfully, concludes as
follows :
" Whichever way we tegard ii, 'ho con?c-I
quencos aro thc same-partially injurious to tho
South : but disastrous to tho North. Thc South
loses little ; it spends comparatively little, and
is piling its wealth up. Tho North loses every
thing, spends enormously, and stores scarcely
anything. Every dny adds; in fact, to thc
strength of tho South, mid diminishes that, nf
the North. Tho war tells alike on tho Western
fanner, tho Kastern manufacturer, and tho New
York banker. Thc effect upon the former, how
ovor, is only temporary ; upon tho two latter it
must lie more permanent. The eventual result
of tho wtr will surely bo to unite tho slave
Stoic* in ono grund Republic, and tho North
will thou find that its suicidal policy has only
served to establish n nation, Which possesses
not only vast resource? In tho growth of staples
peculiar to itself, but which luis, in addition,
every clement of wealth possessed by tho IVoe
States. Tho North will at tho snmo time dis
cover thu' it hus separated itself fruin a country,
upon tho production of which it was actually
dependent for tho prosperity of its largest in
terests, und for tho moans of affording employ
ment to tho operativos and occupation of its
mariniers.
" So long ns Maryland remains with the North
she must share tho fate of the North."

1801.-Prom nu execssivo solicitudo to fol

Put, returning, I find nothing of especial in

troops hnvo been talion. Tho rumor will
hnvo renched you that niuo hnvo been cap
tured, but-it is nil a mistake. Two of Col.
dish's mon were captured a day or two ago,
hut they were token by Col. Kerslmw's hi en,
mid sustained no damage, therefore. They
were seen lo .enter a house in tho neighbor
hood of. Germantown, and tho ever-vigilant
scouts of the Second Regiment touk them

The most important facts I find, lire that
tho eire.ny is retiring from Fall's <'burch,
?md are being concentrated again within tho
li.?.its ol' thc District . ol' i 'ulumbie. There*
arc. in fact, indications (hat they are with
drawing from this shh? of tito river. -Tt is
uertmn that there, .frc few iii Alexandria
hut a few companies-and it is possible,
therefore, that to avoid tho possibility of
light, which is now being urged upon them,
they may accept the alternative of the foot
race I suggested.
There is also a movement, from W ?dung- .
ton, tho significance of which id.'pinch oon
siilered. For some I imo past they have bcon
sending off oars sealed up, so -that the con
tents cannot-bo seen, ami from this.and thc
other circumstances of .security and cu e, it
is suspected that they may be taking the ar
