giving advice.
Among all the commodities that have been kick
ing about in this world for sixty centuries, there
is probably not one whose intrinsic .value has
' varied so immensely from its market price’iis the
I article of advice. The subject is a very large one,
j with multitudes of sides and angles, and might
' furnish themes for any number of prosy essays,
fit for the pages of the most stately and the dull-
i est of the Quarterlies. And the world’s annals
' might furnish innumerable illustrations, both of
advice-giving and advice-taking, from the evil
counsel dropped into the ear of our first mother
■ in Eden, down to the latest advice proffered by
some embryo field-marshal in the warlike camp
I of the sovereigns who now menace Fort Pickens.
Advice is an American institution. The repu-
; tation earned by one portion of the nation is that
' each man, woman and child in that portion is the
! self-constituted custodian of the interests ofevery-
i body else. As a matter of course the immense
j weight ot responsibility belonging to this official
' relation must be lightened continually, as it con-
j tinually augments with the increasing population,
I otherwise i.he burden would soon become intoler*
i able. And the most obvious way of getting rid
^ of tbe responsibility is by giving advice, and
’ tiiereby transferring the onus to the head of the
party upon whom the counsel is inflicted. On
the other hand, with all our national 8eh'-reliance,
not to say national arrogance—we a.s a people are
' particularly prone to seek counsel troui oacli otiicrj
although it generally La[.pens tiiat this advice,
tlius sought, is rejected il it chances to differ Irom
our preconceived notions. hen we ask for the
j opinion of a friend it is with the understanding
that he is to think as we do upon the given subject.
I The manifestation ot our diiitinguishing propen-
j. sity in times like these is, of course, to be expect
ed. One cannot join a crowd anywhere in the
streets without finding a majority of the crowd pre
pared to propose a plan for the settlement ot ex
isting difficulties. The complications that sur
round us cannot by possibility be popular, because
they involve positive hurt to every, soul in the
land. But the modes of settlement ^are as various
as the shades of opinion upon the all-absorbing
subject of thought and conversation. The only
peculiarity, establishing the yenus of the animal,
is the universal efficiency of each individual plan.
Each man’s method is an infallible remedy. As
the doctors do not all think alike about the nature
and cause of the disease, it is to be expected that
they should differ as to the nature and effect of
the treatment.
So we find one class of practitioners recom
mending that the Government immediately pro
ceed to extreme measures. Let Sumter batter
down Charleston—and let the Brooklyn be sent
to capture l^ensacola. Do not wait tor attacks
upon our strongholds, but astound the enemy by
■a sortie or two. Stop all postal communication
with the disaffected and rebellious. Mount a
pivot gun on a pungy and blockade all the ports.
Send a commlssijuer to Montgomery to read the
Riot Act, and play the deuce generally. Anoth
er set comes forward with an entirely different
. programme, advising the withdrawal of United
j States forces from Charleston harbor and from
: Pensacola bay, and the prompt recognition of the
j new Sovereignties that are beginning a separate
i history on the shores of the Gulf. Ihese are the
I two extremes, and between them there is a multi
tude of confident advisers, each with his special
remedy, and each scorning and deriding the
claims set up by all his compeers.
Under these circumstances we are likely to fare
about as well as the man who attempted to carry
the donkey. There is no doubt that we as a
people are carrying a great number of donkeys,
and it would be well for us if we could manage to
let them accidentally fall into the river. Some
ot them are legislators, some of them are newspa
per editors and correspondents, and a great many
of them young lawyers with ^im practice. The
least that one can do is to requite their kindness
and disinterestedness by paying them back in
similar coin. We advise them, therefore, to take
advice instead of giving it—to speak peaceably in
stead ot belligerently—to remember that states
manship is not altogether a native gift, but an

perfect and will warrant it to give satisfaction It can

Cot(on.—A tremendous business in cotton is
now being done in our city. The warehouses are
overflowing, and but for the rapid sales, the entire
city would not be suflScient to hold the immense
(juantities that are constantly pouring in. We
never saw so much cotton. It comes from the
Old North State, ani. the young west State, Ten-
nesseej the Republic of Alabama is represented,
and the various independent empires ot the South.
We have cotton from everybody’s plantation'

near St. Anne’s church, in this city. It ‘ waved”
' but a short time however, for so soon as the Union
boys discovered it, on Wednesday morning, they
hauled it down and tore the odious emblem in
pieces. The Stars and Stripes are good enough

“Why didn’t you jump ofi?" some one asked
Pat, after he had narrowly escaped •with his life
from a horse which had run away with him, “Ar-
rah, by jaibers, and wasn’t it as much as I could
do to stay on?”
A rich joke is told of an eccentric divine, who,
while preaching one evetiing, was somewhat annoy
ed by one of the feminine gender, who after a
•while arose and walked out. “There goes the
Devil’s daughter!” said he. The lady turned
around and in a polite manner exclaimed, “Good
1 evening, father!”
