lucuns are artng tuner out of Fort Sumter or
mm u mat .to morrow's breeze wheffifrtweeps
from the North will brinj: to us the echo of the
first Letiogtoq battle of the new revolution.
Well, what shall we say of such an hour? Mv
own feeling is a double one. It is like the tri
umph of sadness reioicing tpd sorrow. I can
not, indeed, congratulate you enoueh on the sab-
lime spectacle of twenty millions of dod1 edu
cated in a twelvemonth ub to heina villinw tht.
their idol i ted TJuioq should risk a battle, should
risk dissolution, in order, at anv risk, to Dut down
this rebellion of slave State. .
But I am sorry that a can should be fired at
Fort Sumter, or that a run should be fired from it.
for this reason: The Administration at Wath-
ington docs not know its time.' Uereare a series
of States girdling the Gulf, who think that their
peculiar institutions require that they should have
a separate government. Thev have a lieht to
decide that question without appealing to you or
me. A large body of people, sufficient to make
a uitionhavM
will have a government of acertain form. Who
denies them the right? Standing with tbeprin-
ciples of 75 behind u who can deny thetu the
ri-'htf What is a matter of a few millions of
dollars or a few forts ? It is a cure drop in the
bucket of .the reat national question. It is
theirs, iust as much as ours. I maiouin, on the
principles of '70, that Abraham Lincoln hus no
tight to a soldier in tort Sumter.
But the question comes aecondlr, "Suppose
we had a right to interfere, what is the good of
it?" You may punish South Carolina for going
out of the Union. That does not brinz her in.
You may subdue ber by hundreds of thousands
of armies, but that does not make her a State.
There is no longer a Union. It is nothing but
boys play. - iMr. Jefferson Davw is angry, and
Abraham Lincoln is mad, snd they agree to fight.
One, two or three years hence, if the news of the
afternoon is correct; we shall bare gone through, a
war, spent millions, required the death ot a bun
died thousand men, and be exactly then whore we
are now two nations ; a little more angry, a little
rrer, and a great deal wiser; and. that will
the only difference. Wo may just as well
settle it now as then, , .
our best sympathy od our . best aid. " '
Driven to despair, the Southefn States may be
poor ana nsnkrupt, but the , poorest man can be
t priyaiei as Jong as New, Englana's tonnage is a
wtrd pf that of the jsivmted world, the South can
punish' New England more than New England
tan punish her. We provoke a strife in which we
are defenceless. 'IfTmvthe contrary, we hold our
selves to the strife of ideas," if we euonifesk that
ircugin wnicu pespises insult ana Diaes its nour,
are sure to conquer in the' end.
' ; I distrust those guns at Fort Sumter. I do not
believe that Abraham Lincoln means war. .1 do
not believe in the madness of bis Cabinet. Noth
ing but madness can provoke waf with the Gulf
btates. Mj suspicion is this: that the Ad minis
t rat ion dares not eourpromise;' . It trembles before
the five hundred thousand readers of the New
fork Tribune. . '.
But there is a safe way to compromise. It is
this: seem to provoke war, can uonade the forts.
What will be the first result? New York com-
meroe is pale with bankruptcy. The affrighted
seaboard sees grass growing io its streets. It
will start ejp every man wboso livelihood hangs
upon trade, intensifying him into a compromiser;
Those guns fired t Fort Sumter are only to
inenieu lue iionn into a oomoromisa.
If the Administration provokes bleodsbed, it
is a trick, nothing else. It is the masterly cun-
ning or tnat devil ot compromise, the becretsry
of State, lie is not mad enough to let these
States rush into battle. ., He knows that the age
of bullets is over. If a gun is fifed in Southern
waters, it is fired at the wharves of New York.

of conquering Charleston, you create a Charleston

is a violation of expediency.

The Golf Stream.
As the best known and longest studied of
oceanic currents, the Golf Stream, affords ns a
perfect pictare of the other, perhaps greater, but
less appreciated rivers of warm and cold water
which traverse bur seas. Heated in s tropical
furnace to about 86 degrees Fahrenheit, a cur
rent of hot water, with a sharply defined edge on
either side, and flowing over a cushion of cold
water running down from the Arctic tone, rushes
with a force equal to that of the Gulf of Mexico,
along the shores of tb e Florid as The n enrving
upon a great arc to the northeastward,' it flows
three thousand miles, into the 4Uth degree of

A young acquaintance of ours 'puts up,' at a
$2.60 boarding house, relates the following lock
dent, which may afford a useful biat to those -ladies
who utdirtake to provide nutriment for
boarders with strong stowiachs aod weak purses.
One day last week (says pur friend) the soup
produced for our noon tide meal was uncommonly
rioh and unotuous. Dossussinir s flavor Droved verv
conclusively that en extra quantity of meat - had
beeaiiied in the preparation. The boarders were
all very much surprised and delighted, but the
landlady seemed to be less pleased with their fro-
quent draughst upon the tureen. A short time
after dinner, oar mend happening to pass by the
kitchen, overheard his hostess rating the cook for -putting
too much of the shin of. the beef io the
soup kettle. . Half of it said the ecnomicsl pro
vider, 'would have been quite enough for eight
boarders, that pay no mors than they do for their
vittles. 1 ' - '

COOk... . ,. i ;
'Ye needn't tell me that story cried the ex
cited old lady. 'I know you've been wasting the
meat : so just take a ladel and dip up the bones,
and then we'll sec whether I'm a liar or you aro
mistaken. ' ' ... . j ,
The cook obeyed,' sod after diving the ladel
down two or three times in the kettle,, brought up
something which explained the mystery. :
Lor, ma am, I see how us, she said, the kit
ten has been jumping about the kettle and dropped
into it, and it's all biied up in the broth."
'Hies me I cried the hostess, "sure enough
it is ; 1 hen. after a considerable pause, she ad
ded, "cook, hare you any more kittens? We
have a soup dinner, lou wouidn t believe how
the boardeis seemed to like it.'
Our friend paused to hear no more : started out
to seek another boarding house.
You are a Bbick:. A certain College profos-
sor had assembled his class at tbecommvocement
of tho term, and was reading over the list of
names to see that all were present. It chanced
that one of the number was unknown to the pro
fessor, having just entered the class.
What is your name, sir?" asked the professor,
looking through his spectacles.
"You ore a brick," was the startling answer.
"Sir," said the professor, half starting out of
his chair at the supposed impertinence; but not""
quite sure that he had understood him correctly ;
"sir, I did not exoetly understand your answer."
"You aro a brick," was again the composed '
reply. "
