A "SUBMIS3ION1ST DEFINED.
The ' Charleston Mercury," the principaforjran
of the Disuiiionists of the Somh, has at last ctm
descended to inform the World, what i meant
by the oft repeated and sifty cry of "Submissionist,
Submissionisi." Tlte thanks of the whole Coun
try are due to the "Mercury" for this- important,
development, as it will relieve the minds of many .
ffbn- saw in the epithet nothing hut "Gorgon.
Hvdras and Chimeras dire," and afford inexpressi
ble satisfaction to all those noisy, brawling, pot- ,
house agitators, who have hurled it, "tvitbout un
,jer5Unding either its purpose or its purport, at
the head of every man w ho dare9 to love his
Country better than the miserable schemes 4
imbitiotts demagogues. Here is the '-Mereury V'
definition :
' -Enormous wrongs, extending over a series ofyears,
have been inflicted by the General- Government on
thft people of South Cat olina. The question, now is.
iliall they be submitted to or resisted by the State ?
He w;;o"is not prepared to resist them, but insists on
waitm" for speculative aggressions in the future,
uiasubiniioiiis'. He may be brave, patriotic, and
Lave the most assured determination to meet with
resistance any future aggression should it even be
mule; but as to the past as to all that is real and
tertsiu, he is a submiasiomst"
"Enormous wrongs have been inflicted by th
General Government os the PorLE of South
Cakolina !" Hero we see the same supercitiou
and ijrannical spirit which we liave always attri
buted 10 the "Chivalry." ' The People of South
Carolina !" Not a word about the rest of their
Southern brethren, w ho have certainly suffered in
common .with them, whatever oppression may
have falien to their lot, and whose interests and
fceliti.s demand that they should at least be con
join a matter so intimately involving their
lives -:M property ! And, again, "the question
now is, sh;dl uey be submitted to or resisted by
the State?"' Or, in other words, the question is.
'shall Vie Stale confessedly, of course, the guar
dian of Southern rights and the peculiar embodi
ment of Southern honor secede from the Union,
under the ties which bind us to the Government
and involve the Country in intestine feud and civil
strife? "He who dallies is n dastard and he who
doubts is damned." Such conduct and language,
we say again, are insufferably arrogant and over
bearing. If the South Carolina Disunion Aris
tocrary could only get the reins into their hands
the Southern Slates would be ridden "booted and
spurred." They have the will and only want thn
power.
A Submissionist, then, ncrordinjr to the egotis
tical and 'xclusiie definition of the "Charleston
Mercury," is one who is not "prepared" to follow
South Carolina "ihe Stal&''w her quixotic and
treasonable schemes against the peace and har
mony of the Union. "He may be .brave," ready
it all times to defend his person, his reputation or
Lis Country against attack, biit if he acknowledge
not the infallibility of South Carolina, he is a
"Submissioiiist !" "He may be patriotic;" but
all that is but another name for recreancy, so long
M he prefers that glorious Union, under which"
we have prospered, to the visionary Republic
pictured in the imagination of the hotspurs of
Palujettodom ! "He may have the most assured
-ateruiinatio'n to meet with resistance any future
agression but if he refuse to bury, all the past
have linked, and as yet bind, his affections to the
Union of his fathers, and hesitate to follow after
false God j and uncertain prospects, in the rear of
"Soulk Carolina, he is, as to all that is real and
certain " a Submissionist f
If such btf the meaning of the term, wc glory
In the name and in the goodly company in which
We find ourselves. Nine-tenths of the freemen
of the South all, indeed,, who have the spirit of
men; who are not craven vassals, or. designing
traltors-are suck 'Submi3sionists" Let South
Carolina beware lest .she is not rapidly converting
tb feeling of leniency and charity with which her
ister States of the South have hitherto regarded,
nd "submitted'' to, her high-handed arrogance,
into one of detestation and contempt!

" HOLD THEM TO THE RECORD!
Twice v ithinvthe brief period of a year, the
odious doctrine of Seedssmn has been'' fairly re
pudiated in North Carolina- the first time, through
the assembled. Representatives of the Peopl in
the Legislature, and rccently,by the People them
selves, at the ballot box. Everywhere,' through
out thC6untry, the lovers of the Union are tfon
gratulatmg each other at a result,- which cannqt
fail tqpstcengthen the bands' which bind us toge-!
ther as a united and prosperuW people. The
hopesofthedoubting have been re-assured and
t'te bAj&1bf the wavering emboldened, -fhe
Omon ttamJs vpon a firmer basis than ever !
We beg the Union men of the State to believe,
however, that the snake is but "scotched", not
killed," aod that to maintain the proud position
we have nssumtjd, there must bo no abatement of
vigilanee or relaxation of energy. The experience
of the past year leaches us that desperale men,
bent upon schemes of mischief and ruin, are not
to be deterred from their purposes by temporary
opposition and defeat. One would have thought
that the seeming quietua which this theory' of
Secession received in the last Legislature, was
sufficient to have frightened its advocates from
any further support of it; but the bitter campaign,
through which we have just passed, told a far differ
ent story. Blinded with rage and maddened at oppo
sition, they employed every expedient and exerted
every nerve to induce the people to sanction and
embrace it. Debated again, they will ence more
ronew their efforts- For,
"Though the field be lost,
All is not lost ; the unconquerable will,
And study of revenge immortal hate r
And courage never to submit or yield."
It is through our own inactivity alone, thai the
Secessionists can have any hope of gaining a foot
hold in this State. Knowing this, it will bei their
aim to throw us off our guard, by feigning entire
acquiescence in the will of the Peopleand appear
ing to back out from the stand which they have
hitherto taken. But they mufl be held to the Re.
cord- pinned to their position ! Thry must not
be suffered to gain another point, from which they
may be able to 'do us greater injury. In the light
of day with the sun shining upon their fell de
signs, and the gaze of mankind directed to their
movements there is no cause for apprehension;
but beneath the insidious cover of an ambush,
their machinations may be attended with more
fatal success.. Ihild them to the Record !
The Editor of the "Standard," as wc might
reasonably have expected, from the uniform malig
nity and illiberality of that dirty sheet, and its wfell
known habits, only heaps wanton insult upon
the injury which it has sought to do us. We can
gain no credit for bandying epithets with the
"Standard." As with one who throws stones
nto a fcewer, we could but be bespattered with
Ms filth. It is sufficient, perhaps, for us to say. in
general terms, without venturing to enter the pur
lieus of Billingsgate the '-Standard's" peculiar
province .ihat its last article contains a repetition
;f wilful falsehood, together with a fresh stock of
vituperation, and an unusual outrage of the rule?
of gentlemanly decorum.
If it be true, that we do "cut hut a poor figure
in our comments on the topics of the dayj" we have
ihe consolation of knowing thai we have not un
frequently "cut"1 through the hide of the Editor,
tough as it is, and driven him to the wall, from
Liany of his favorite positions. This, however,
it is true, furnishes no reason R'hy the "Standard's''
assertion should not be strictly the truth. A man
may do all that, and yet "cut" but a very'' poor fig
ure"ideed a mere cypher ! ' Tie same peculiar
quality this cypher possesses, by the way, that be
longs to the arithmetical character: Taken up
one side and down another whatever the changes
and usesitmay uudergo it is, and always will be,

THE FIRE ANNIHILATOR.
Iu the lust '-Rutherfordton Banner,"' there ap
pears an allegation (the truth of which the "Ban
ner" has no reason to doubt,) from Dr. W. A
Ghahaii, now of McDowell County, to the effect
that he was the first who made the discovery how I
to apply, practically, carbonic gas to extinguish
destructive fire or flames. Dr. Gkaham etaims
the invention as far back as 1837, in November of
which year he filed his specifications and caveat,
which, he states, still remain in the Patent Office
at Washington. The doctor announces his intern
tion of repairing to that city, upon the meeting ;of
the next Congress, to renew his application for! a
patent, which it appears, was refured by the Pa
tent office ;n 1837, on account of the invention
being stated ot to possess that novelty whieh
would justify the offiee in issuing one, and doubts
exisU.Bg as to-its bekig capable- of being carried
into effect. According, to Dr. Graham's state
ment, Mr. Calhoun brought the matter before the
Senate in 5839, and a special committee was ap
pointed to investigate it, but pecuniary difficulties
prevented the doctor appearing before the com
mittee, and the affair seems to have dropped until
now, when the paragraphs that have recently ap
peared in the papers relative to- Mr. Phtllits ial
leged discovery, have again brought Dr. GrahKm
before the public.

MRw STANLY THE "BOSTON ATLAS."
The Loco Foco papers were very fond, during
the recent "campaign, of calling Mr. Stanly the
Candidate of the "Boston Atlas," and urged as an
insuperable objection to his elexti'dn, that it Would
be tejoieed over by that.papet andrther such,
"Free Soil organs." AndJrure ejhbgh-, the "Boston-
Atlas" has spoken, and i'fbases its gratifica
tion at Mr.. Stasly's election upon silc.h rational
a:td sensible grounds, that we cannot refrain from"
transferring its article to our own columns:
'The evening papers of Monday gave no further
returns of Hie election held in Tennessee and North
Carolina-. The returns pul lished by us yesterday
morning from those States, were cheering in tha first
degree, and wc ate confident tht the W hjgs have
elected their Governor in Tennessee, and a IVmt por
tion of the delegation in .North Carolina, including the
Hon. Edwaud Stanly. Whatever may have been,
the final result in the Old North State, we are saris'
fied if Mr. Stanly is -elected, because lie is a gentle
man vho,-rAi he has stood by Southern institutions
and interests with as much vigor and determination
as any inan could have donr, and at the same tune
hold his fealty to tha Union, has beenair andrWi-i
towards the North, and that u all we ask. The North
does not ask the praise of fulsome advocates, who ex
pect that it is to be swung fr.in its moorings by a
few well-buttered phrases. No! We dio not exjvet
that Southern gentlemen are to ngree witfi the North
in regard o slavery, or the compromise measures.
All Unit we expect is. that we are to ngree. to iliff. r.
The slavery question is one of a local character, and
if Southern men do not desire to foist it upon Ms, we
6haII Hever interfere in the matter. Mr. Stanly has
been e ected, and we are rejoiced at it. Xot because
he is Itss a Southern man in his satmerits than was
his competitor, but because that, being a Southern
man be could at the same time be a Union man-, and
therefore do justice to the Whigs of New England."
And it is precisely for these reasons, among
others, that we, too, rejoice at Mr. Stanly's elec
tion, and Loco Focoism is weJepmc to all it may
expect to make out ot the coincidence of opinion.
It is because Mr. Stanly has always shown, that,
vthile he yields to r.o man in determined devotion
to the rights of the South, he possesses a soul
large enough and patriotic enough to take in the
whole Country and Ms multiplied interests, th i
we hail his triumph over Secession and Disunion
as an auspicious and glorious event. May the
unhappy day so eagerly coveted and souht af
ter by the disaffected ngitators, North and Souih
never come, when a love of our common Coun
try shall be swallowed up in a narrow spirit ol
sectionalism !
The following letter, purpojling to be
written in the year 185.1, after South Caiolin:s-hall
have seceded and become independent, describes
most graphically the appearance wl.i.h the Citv . f
Charleston would then most probably present,
in the event of such an act of -madness on the part
of lhat State. The Secession of South Carolina,
or of any other single S:ate, would be as inevita
ble a prelude to her decay and disgrace, as day is
to night The Secession of any dozen States.

INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC OF S. CARO
LINA.
Charleston, Feb. 20, 1555.
My Dear Friend : I presume you will be pleas
od to hear from me once more, h! hough some few
years have capped, since, we have exr-hanged
owrtesics and sentiments. Aiy wariui.-ruigs have
een many and various since 1 las' saw you. My
feet have trod the classic toil of Greece, and my
fves have rested upon th? lofty Pyramids of the
Nile. I have ridden the dromedary o ilie Desert,
anJ have b-ithed in he cool waters -of the Jordan.
I have kissed with devout laith, ihe sacred stone
in the H-dy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem, and I have
bowed with ihe faiiluul, in the mosque of St.
Sophia, in Constantinople ; and now, after perils
by land and sf-a, 1 am once more m my native
country, with little improvement of either henlth
or looks. 1 am still thin- .7i I shall always, be,
it is most likely but I am so tanned, and roasted,
and my whisk rs and. moustache are so very a
buodant, my nearest relative would not recognize
me. But, il I have changed, I am not alone;
other ihmzs hnve changed as much, and not the
least of ihem, may be named my own Mate, and
my own native city. 1 do not say, that I did not
know the place cf my birth, as our little fi-hing
smack came up the harbor for the natural beau
lies of this beau'ilul bay cannot so easily be des
troyed. But there certainly has bren a strange
decay of all, that g t ve life anil activity to the sctne
ihftt 1 lelt. in the spring of 1850, in the spL did
steamer Southerner, to commence my Eastern
tout. Indeed s uiie of the natural beauties have
changed, tnoogti not very ooservatiiy. lou re
nember the old channel,' between Castle I'inck-
w-i T n i .
nev and fori jonnson. mat is now very much
filled up, and the passage of water is rnain y
through Hog Island channel.
Afipr the State seceded and became indepen
dent ihe Government ol ihe United States no
longer paid attention to (he harbor and bar, and
permitted ihe water to lake i s own coarse, nd
as there were no vessels of any size to come up to
the city, tbe old channel gtadually filled up with
6and, and now there is only about six or eight feet
water in front of the siteot the Lastle On Sulh
van s island the uecay ana desolation are appa
rent even in passing by upon tlie water. The
village. the la4 year or two has been. deserted, a i d
since the burning ot a laree hole! thai was built
about the time 1 left lor England, there has been
no desire to make the Island a fashionable water
ing place. Indeed so many o( the weajthy peo
ple of the Republic have left, there are very few
who have the means to spend in summer amuse
ments. The marks o( desolation, however, were
the most manifest, about the neighborhood of the
old Fort. VV hen the State seceded irom the Uni
on, the other States did not ma ke war upon I e , as
she fondly hoped, and as I hear that her leading
men predicted but the Government at Washing
ton abolished the. ports of entry upon her coast,
ud closed up her custom houses, and then hav ng
no further use for .Forte, they 'were dismantled,
and afterwards blown up. Fort Moultrie is now
a ruin. The effect ot the gunpowder used in
blowing up the fortification, is apparent. Large
fissures are seen in the walls in various place.,
and portions of the battlements have fallen, while
the break water not having been completed was
washed away or broken up. arid the tide now rolls
in on the esplanade in the fort. In a IV w years
more, no ruemoml will remain of this fine old
place. Fort Sumter, not having been so far com
pleted as to be defensible, now tUnds very much
us it was in 1850. -But Castle Pinckney is in
ruin, scarcely ihe outline of the fori can be traced
amid the debris of the place. On approaching
the city, the dilapidation and poverty stricken ap
pearance of the towu struck a chili to my heart.
I had just left ihe city of Savannah, which had
grown from 7,000 to 0,O00 in population, iajive
years, Bad where I found every body in. activity
and prosperity, and the contrast of the two cities
was.arjyjuing but pleasant. It seems tha, on the
secession pf Carolina, the great business, of the
South was transferred lo .Savannah. Charleston
rapidly lost capital, and her commerce being des

the city and nation with thairgo id?. Qn the bay,
the desolation is more crievous still.. I am told
that there are but six Factors in the city." The
Coiiiui business is nearly ruined, and in this way.
The Secession of Ihe Estate did not make her a
F.rrcign JYalion in the eyes of the United States I
Government ; the consequence was, that when I
taxation began to press heavily upon ihe planting I
interest, he planters one after another took their
negroes into the other Slave States, abandoning
ineir worn out plantations in Carolina, and going
to the rich lands of Georgia, Alabama and Mis
sissippi, and so the negro population of the State
has become reduced to about 120 000 These are
only able io?riu.-i provision for themselves and
masters, and consequently the cultivation of cot
ton has nearly ceased, only about 40 000 bales
having beeti made in the, Mate the last year.
Thee were hauled to the city by wag ns as the
railroad had been given up the ye-r before, a.id
sold out for old material, the travel and freight not
paying a quarter of iheexpense of runuing the en
gines. Tlie population of the cuy now numbers
about 15.00 , ni.is daily diminishing, and un
less something is done to arrest ihe downward
:endency of things, the place will become entirely
depopulated. Tlte second day after my arrival
ihre was a parade of the Presidents special Body
Guard. Tli.s guard, I learn, was established !
protect him again.-t the hostile fury of rhe poor
and wretched while population, who seem to be in
the most deplorable condition. There being no
W'irk to do they are forced to beg and stea' to pre
serve life, and they are always teady for an out
break. The parade went off tolerably well; about
thirty soldiers appeared, and wereaccompani.nl by
fitieen or twenty little negroes, who seemed pleas
ed at ihe show, but I heard one of ihe older ones
say, "Da 's noting, to old time, ?ha, call dat
troops my mas-a used to ride head of long, long
siring, way from massaNsAL's Church toBattry."
However, this is the m ist startling event that has
occurred since I arrived. 49
I leave in a day oftwo on kbrse-back for Uolum
bia, carrying in my saddle-bags two days provis
ion's 1 hear that the supply for travelers js very
poor upon the road. From Columbia I intend to
proceed on 10 Augusta, Georgi.i, to which city 1
h-tve hid my passports vised by the official in

The Whigs of V ikgima are recommending an
early organization ol the party throughout tlie 5tate,
and a Convention to buhtld at Staunton, en the first
day of October.
No. 379 of Littell's Living Age has been re
ceived, and it has its usual variety of good ar
ticles. Mr. Webster's Movements. The following
telegraphic despatch from Washington appeared
in Friday's New York Herald :
Washington, Aug. 14, I80L It is stilted, up
on authority w hich leaves no raoui for doubi, that
Mr. cbster will not return to this city as Secre
tary of State. ILjwill remain away till about the
issemblmg or Congress, when he will lender his
r situation. 1 lie position which his mends have
placed him in renders it, in his opinion, indelicate
that he should remain in the cabinet.
Upon this the Washington Telegragh of Satur
day eventng remarks :it leirgih, asserting that the
former statements of Mr. Webster's tendered re
signation were true, only ihat be afterwards was
led to change his mind, and adds :
We tirtve not a doubt of the entire tra4h of the
foregoing announcement, &o far as Mr. Webster's
mind is at present made up. But may he not see
pause to change his mind once more by Novem
ber next, and conclude to hold on, vet awhile
longer, to the office, of Secretary of Slate ?
The Whigs cf Tennessee and or North
Carolina have given us great and most cheering
victories. In Tennessee, especially, we have
carried all before us.
It will be a long time before we shall consent
to part with this noble band of brothers in the
Southern States', who thus rally around the "U11
ion," and who extend to us the right hand of fel
lowship. No sc"cTToiiaJ party Will we ever belong
to tbat shall separate us from them. Lerusonly
keep upon the true National Platform, "eschewing
all isms, and sectionalism, especially, as the worst
of all, and victory awaits us elsewhere as well as
there. A. Y. Express.

From the different accounts of the growing
crops in the Stales, it seems doubtful whether it
will average tndrethan the present crop. In the
good crop years of 1S3-2,' 1843, and 1844, the
average was over 18U,liUJ hhds in the States, at
which time there was less tobacco manufactured
in the States by ten thousand hhds. a year.

JUDGING BY APPEARANCES: A PRISON
SCENE IN MUNICH. .,
The numbei-of feinale.prisoners is very small in
comparison with the male. Al one particul r
washing tub stood four woinn. Our conductor
spoke to one or them, this being a sign to us to
notice them. Two looked up. and fairly beamed
withmiles; one'a tall and very handsome young
girl, continued lo wash away with downcast eyes.
I felt a sort of delicacy 111 staring a: her, her looks
Were so conscious and modest A fourth, a fat,
ifl-loojiing old woman, a so never looked at the vi
siters. Tlie two who smiled had remarkably
agreeable f cesj'me, with good features, and a very
mrld expression; the other, a small woman, and
though wiih blooms on her cheeks, a certain sad,
a.ix-ious expression about her eyes and mouth.
Of which of these four women were we lo hear.a
fearful history related? The only one who looked
evil was the fat old woman. As soon as we were
in the court, our conductor s-iid, '-Now, what do
you say about those women'?" "Three out of
the four." we remarked, "are the only agreeable
faces we have seen in the pns. n; a oi judging from
this momentary glance at their coumenances, we
should sy could not be gu liy of much cr.mj;
perhaps the fat old woman may be so; that tall
young girl, however, is not only handsome but
gentle-looking." "That tall young girl,' replied'
our guide, "was the one who, a year or two ago,
murdered her !elkw servant, and, cutting the body,
buri'd it in the garden; the little woman next 10
her, soing two years since, murdered her husband;
and, the handsome, kind moiherly-Io-king w oruan
who stood next, destroyed her child ol seven years
old. 1 he (at woman is m only for a sught ottence!
So much for our judgment of physiognomy.

London at Midnight. Mr. Greely. in one of
h s recent letters to the New York Tribune, says :
Wal.lnrr hnma frnm .j Bniriio nt ft,. " , , i
nTbtough Recent Sireet.Haymarkei and ihe Strand.
once at midnight, I was struck, though accustom
ed to all manner of late hours in New York.
with t'tie relative activity and wide-aw.ke aspect
of Iondbn at that hour. It seemed the Hiwh
'Change of revelry and pleasure seeking. The
tavern, thft club, -end drinking shops betrayed
no sympions of drowsiness: the theatres were
barely beginning to emit their jaded multitudes ;
the c.i bs and private carriages were more plentiful
than by day, and were briskly wheeling hundreds
from pany to party ; even the omnibusses r. tiled
down ih wide streets as freshly and almost as
numerous as at midday. The policemen were a-
ert 011 nearly every corner; sharpers and sus
picious characters steppednimbly about the cross
streets, in quest of prey, and innumei able wrecks
o womanhood, God pity thent ! shed a depper
darkness over the shaded and dusky lanes and by
ways wheiu-e ttiey mo-.nently emerged to Salute
the passer-by. Beneath ihe shelier of night, Mis
ery stole f.irih from its squalid lair, 110 longer awed
by the police, to beseech the compassion of the
stranger, and pour its tale of wo and suffering in
to live rarely willing ear. Serene and silvery in
ihe clar night air rose ihe pearly fall moon over
South ark. shedding a soft and mellow i 1 it. on
pillar and edifice, column and spire, and enduing
itieplacid bosom ol the .Thames with a tranquil
md spiritual beauty. Such was one glimpse of
London at midnight : 1 have nut seen rt so- im
prs.siveby day.
13- It is difficult lo describe the honest exuka
liorv which .the masses of our people here seemed
to feel when tbe extraordinarily ?hort passage of
tie steamship Baltic"became generally known, on
Saturday last. The performance of such a feat,
indeed, .as Ihat which has been so quietly accom
plished by an American steamer, is in itself but
little short of the marvellous, even in these days
of scientific progression. But there is an impor
tance attached to it, in another respect, which at
this time can hardly be over-estimated. At a
time when the leading journal, of, Great Britain
aredomgall tlvey can, hy the v est misrepresen
tation? and falsehoods, to bring us as a nation into
contempt, brilliant achievements like these on the
ocean' highway must demonstrate lo the rest of the
world the key to the malignant aspersions thai are
now so commonly heaped upon us. Old England,
et us say it with ail due reverence, is rapidly de
generating into a second rate maritime power.
She has long been mistress of the sea. Neptune's
trident has been her's since the days of Q,ueen
Elizabeth, snd right gloriously has she wielded
it, we can wellafford to add. But Ihe preMigeoi
her ancient invincibility on the ocean is broken.
There is another nation whose march is on the
mountain wave, and whose "home" corers about
as much of the deep as does her's. The triumphs
of America over our respected progenitor are re
corded in history ; her achievements on the ?Ca,
in this our day, are not a poetic hctton, but a sub
s antral everyday reality. The supremacy of the
United Slates on the Pacific is s.lely established,
in the maooiricem fleets ot" steamships sailing un
der the American flag there j and as lor a national
superiority on ihe Atlantic, if there is to be such
a thing as a respectable contest between deaf
Britain and our own country, the sooner her ship
builders give us something worthy of the compe
tition of such superb vessels as the Collins hue,
the better. The Cunard steamers were very ex
cellent conveniences lor travel a long lime ago
ihey are not fast enough now, however, to keep
pace with the enterpnze, skill, mechanical inge
nuny, and business necessities, even, of "a naiiun
tliai sends nothing to the World . f air but a parcel
of lugubrious looking piauo-fortes," -'a bundle of
soiry ca.uoes," "an awkward plough or two," -a
lot of ugly churns,'.' and other such semi-barbarous
absurdities, not to tell of the 'shocking want of
polish,- the. "specific uficouthness," and "general
vulgarity 01 its mnaouants.
