Davis, . , o The fire eaters of South Carolina are not to be. trifled with, They intend that the paimetto shall flourish over an dudependent sovereiguty, though Jeff...and bis confederacy may be knocked in the head. The servile Cabinet and Congress of Jeff. at Richmond have been medi- tating great thinga, In his dreadful extremi- ties they have resolved to make him absolute dictator, lord and master over all the States under his terrible sway, and ever everything and everybé@y in them—State laws, State rights, slavery, newspapers, planters, negroes and all. But he bas raised a hornet’s nest about his ears, The North Carolina members of his servile Congress beard bim in his den; the intract- able State rights Governor Brows, while dodg- ing about to escape the troopers of Sherman, still finds time to peur in a broadside against the despetic usurpations of Davis. And now South Carolina, the swamp chieken, the little bantam cock of the walk in Rebeldom, flaps his wings and crows out his defiance at the Rick- mond upstatt who demands the powers of the Great Mogul. There is a dark and dismal place to the north of Charleston, koown as Hell Hole swamp, and when a warning voice from that quarter comes te King Jeff. it necessarily comes with a smell of brimstone, saltpetre and State rights. We believe that R. Barnwell Rhett is the representative of Hell Hele swamp in the South Carolina Legislature. We need not tell who Rhett is. If the patent right for the exist- ing Davis confederacy belongs to any one tiv- ing man, it belongs to Rhett. When South Carolina seceded in 1860 he clapped bis hands together, rolled up his eyes and thanked God (for Rhett is as sanctimonious 9s # parson) that his labore ef thirty years in the holy cause of secession were at lastrewarded. When Rhett, therefore, speaking for Hell Hole swamp, be- gins to shake his fist at Jeff. Davis, Jeff. may look out for squalls. What says Rhett? In his resolutions, offered in the South Carolina Le- gislature the other day, he declares:—Firat, in regard to the war, that South Carolina and her confederates, with the help of God, are doter- mined to fight it out. Secondly, that the sove- reign States concerned are not amenable to the government of the rebel States for their existence, and that any attempted conscrip- tions of Sffte officers on the part of Jeff. Davis ealculated to disturb the operations of said State gevernments, are flagrant usurpations, to which the States should sot submit. Thirdly, that any interference with thé freedom 6f the press by Davis is unconstitutional. Fourthly, that some of his taxation projects are unconsti- tutional. This is speaking right out in church; but the best is yet to come, The last resolution of the irrepressible Rhett delares “that the isstitution of African slavery ig exclusively under the jurisdiction and con- trol of the.sovereign States, and any law »passed by Congress (Jeff.’s Congress) to eman- cipate a slave in any State, or to appropriate money from the treasury of the (rebel) States to buy and emancipate slaves, is uneonstitn- Mvuet mua sue guns Is thé Voice of South Carolina. She flatly tells Jeff. that she ean and will dispense with bim, if necessary; that bis remorseless conscriptions have gone far enough, that he had better not attempt to order what man shall edit this or that newspaper and what he shall write; that South Carolina will have no more gouging by hid tax gatherers than what she already suffers, and that if he dares to lay a hand upoa ber negroes te seize them, or even to buy them fn order to make them “free niggere,”” South Carolina will roast him on her gridiron of State rights, ‘Ybus the very principle upon which this rebellion was fomented and started into life, is working a fatal poison in the bowels of this South Carolina patent right Southern confede- racy. Established upon this miserable heresy of State rights—the rights of national sov- ereignty to each State, including the right of secession—it would be impossible for such a concern to live beyond. twevemonth if given its independence to-morrow. We are grateful, however, that South Carolina sticks to her text; for when she, the founder of the so-called Confederate States, begins to show such bold signs of revolt, the final catastrophe cannot be far off. Assniled in front and on hts flanks by the armies of Graut, and in the reur by State rights, there is noescape for Davis except in a timely run through the Wilmington blockade for Nassau. At the same time, as this suicidal fallacy of State rights bas been followed to the bitter end by the States adhering to South Carolina, they ave rapidly returning on the buck track to (he national sovereignty and supreme authorRy of the government of the United States. If State rights are to be the death of Jeff. Davis, the terrible and bloody reign of Davis will surely be the death of this horrible heresy of State rights. Arrest o¥ Enasivs Brooxs—-TaMMANY oN vue War Patu.—The leaders of Tammavy Hall have donned their paint and’ feathers, sharpened their tomabawks and started upon. tte war path, Old Tammany was very suc- cessful in the recent Congressional and charter elections, and her leaders now propose to punish those who have libelled them. Mr. Peter B, Sweeny has brought a suit for twenty-five thou- sand dollars against James and Erastus Brooks for libels, and Erastus was arrested yesterday on a criminal warrant in a similar suit upon Mr. Sweeny’s complaint. James Brooks escaped arrest, being in Washington. Mr. Sweeny’s candidate has just beaten Hardy in the alder- manic contest in the Twentieth ward, although Hardy was backed by Brooke, Belmont and Barlow, Herrick and all the soreheads, and this local contest, unimportant of itself, decided the leadership of Tammany Halil, which is now to be retained by Mr. Sweeny. Close upon the election come these libel suits against the Eypress, and already the bankers and brokers of the World, and one hundred dollar Herrick of the Aflas, begin to tremble and to inquire whose turn will be next. We presume that the suite now on hand will about finish the Express. It not, the Evening Leader, which is to be published under the auspices of Tam- many Hall, will soon use up the remains of that journal and of the World, while the Allas appears to be used up already, James Brooks will be lacky If be secures hin sont in the next Congress, which Mr. Dodge is preparing to contest, We are rather sorry for the Brooke family; bata glorious victory in a emalt werd election, wien skilfully managed, is sometimes like s comet, which draws great events and disasters in its train.

That notice was ridiculed by fhe rebeb@yreas of this city, and had the good fortune te be sneered at by ‘dur wonderfat Mayer, who affected to “ disbes lieve” it, Marshal Fry’s notice will be ridi- culed end sneered at in the same way. But “the first was followed by the late attempt to burn all the hotels in this city, and the last is undoubtedly a timely notice of en attempt equally real and malignant, and fraught with equal danger. The present position of the Southern con- federacy isa most desperate one. No band of ruffanly conspirators ever aspired to set up a government with less prospect of auccess than the Southern conspirators now have, or with a more hopeless future in case of failure. Army after army has been borne down ‘fh the strug- gle, until now the last man has been dragged from his home, and the end they desire is fur. ther off than ever. In the extreme Sonth the great cotton States lie prostrate before a North- ern general; one Southern army stands and looks on, helpless to prevent, and another marches to inevitable ruin with the shout of victory on its lips. Under these circumstances the rebel leaders again turn their thoughts to an attempt once relinquished as*futile. Once more they hope for tbe intervention of a foreign Power. If France or England can be brought between the confederacy and the great blows that the United States now aim at it, they be- lieve that there will be a hope to save it, and without that they acknowledge that there ismo hope at all. Fore'gn intervention is now, therefore, their grand objective point, and that alone they labor to reach in all, that they do. At the commencement they demanded it openly, asd labored for it through ambassa- dors, and by the representations of the great- neas and power of the nation they proposed to set up. Now they have another pian. Having failed to move Eurepe “by showing their Strength, they hope to do it by showing our weakness and pointing to a divided North—a North that cannot hope to prosecute the war to a successful close, and that. will not “be formidable, after the war, to any Power that may assist the South. as was their hope before the election that the success of a candidate whoge position on the war was lees distinctly in favor of national in- tegrity than that of Mr. Lincola wonld do a great deal in that way. Then they coulé have pointed Europe to a President elected ona peace platform, and we should have heard the most tremendous screams about the greatness of the peace party, and that the majority of the North Was no longer in favor of the war. Indeed Europe was partly prepired in advance, and we were permitted to hear that France wonld see the election of McClellan in that. light, and interfere accordingly. But that scheme through McClellan’s last and greatest defeat. Now they try a more desperate p'an. Over the border in Canada they have an abundance of the.vilest material that ever disgrated humanity, and here in our very midst they have hundreds and thousands of sympathizers and ageate—their some time poll- tical associates and present admirers. They have even a press that, with the most shameless impudence, utters daily peans in their praise, denounces and disparages all Union efforts and successes, and covers all nefarious rebel attempis by dgpeuncing every exposure of them as falee, and by affecting {to laugh at them as jokes when it is no longer possible to doubt that they have been made. These means are all that they can desire. Desperate wretches to start fires in every city, sympatbi- zers to show them how to do it, and harbor them till it is done, and a press to seize the cccasion and incite insurrection and riot, if possiblé, and then to tell the worTd that all this is done by the Northern opposition in its efforts to overthrow the Washington tyranny and stop the war. All these agencies are now active. The copperhead press was nevez so loud and bold, nor the border cutthroate so plentiful. These last, encouraged by the pro- tection extended to the Chesapenke pirates in a provincial city, and by the evident desire of the Canada authorities not to surrender the St. Albans raiders, come in the full confidence that, once over the border again, they will be all safe, Meantime the fathers of the peace party de what they can to assist, and ‘Lord Lyons, who goes to Europe soon, will go with bis ears full of their representations as “Northern men” that the waris a failure. The Emperor will get plenty of enlightenment from the same source, and Southern men, with ajl this assistance, will deem it wonderful if they shall not be able to make Sherman’s great suc- cogs useless. It behooves the officers of the government and the whole Northern people also to be sure that this last rebel plan shall fail. Let no vil- lage or small community of people be sur- prised if burned out and butchered by ten or twenty men fromCanada. If there must be any butchery let the people begin it, Let the rebel sympathizers everywhere bo put under surveillance, and let any attempt whatever at disturbance, or any Iincitements to it, be put down ruthlessly. We shall then soon hear the last of this attempt. Poon Tran. Stxvexs.—The financial end economical ideas of Thad.

A Tempest im @ Teapot—Miss Kellegg am@ General McCictlian tn = Bow Magne. r The seedy Bohemians of thie city seem to be subject to périddical attacks of bydrophobia. Jouronl BE Seltcan, te Lenton, x Baroy, ment, the banker, end Bariow, ‘the broker, have hid ene of these attacks re cently, and by their bites have infected the Bokemians on one or two other papers. For the past few days we have heard a frightfel howling, and barking, and growling, and yelp- ing, and whining, from Belmont and Barlow’ kennei; but we were at first unable to make out what it all meant. Now we find that it fe all about the Hexatp, and that the Be hemians are snapping at us with glaring eyes and frothing mouths, because they imagine that we have attacked Mica Kellogg, a young and rising artiet, and General McClellan, who was unfortunately defeated in the late election The Bohemians appear to consider themselves the property of Miss Kellogg and the General—~ whether by purchase or otherwise we know not—and deem it incumbent u them t¢ make day and night hideous w they think that their owners are assailed. Well, this is really a goo: joke and a splem did tempest in a teapot. We sincerely hope theé Miss Keilogg and the General have not bees #0 ungrateful as to stir up the Bohemian pac’ to make all this moise. General McClellan fe well aware that for a year and a half we eale gized him in the Heratp, and defended him against every assault, and that we only left him when he went over to Belmont and Bar low, who soon finishee: bim as a Presidential candidate. As for Miss Kellogg, she has never been attacked in the Heratp. She bas not eves been criticised severely; but if we do not choess. to pronounce her the'greatest artist in creation, wo surely havea right to our opinion. Some artists are like babies—they cry for sugar candy constantly. Mias Kejlogg ought not to be one of this sort. She is young, and may become. a fine singer, and she should rather thank us for the praises’ we have formerly bestowed. upon her than permit the Bohemians to rave because we do not feel inclined to puff her alf the tim® So much for the accusations which have been made the handle of the Bohomian teapot. There is an old story of a pickpocket whe cried “atop thief” in order to conceal his ow guilt. The Bohemians of Belmont and Bar low’s organ are in the condition of that pick pocket. They are raising great hue and ery about the Hrratp’s circulation, because theis own has dwindled te almost nothing sluce élee tion. They are yelling denunciations of the Heratp’s advertisements, because their ows will not cover a couple of pages, in spite of tha aid of Jarge type. They are crying that the Hzrarp bas injured General McClellan, be: cause all politicians agree that the claims whica Belmont and Barlew put forth to the exclusive ownership of the General, and the stupidity of their newspaper, which pretended to be"iis organ, were the causes of his political death. They whine about eur unkindness te Misa Kellogg, because everybody is saying that, ag people are judged by the company. they keep, any association with Bohemians myst injure a lady who hopes to be an artist,” And this fact reminds us thal the Bohemians assert that Miss Kellogg will not visit us. Really? Well, we have never invited her nor the Bohemiang, The affa'r ie quite the contrary. What would, the patronage of a peor, young singer be t® ust On the other hand, what would our advice an@ assistance not be worth to her, if we choose to make her a present of them? Belmont and Barlow we have often been se licited to know; but we do not’ think them im | fellectual enough for our society. As fou General MbCieljan—whom the Bohemians alee ¢bampion——he Has ealled upon us several times at Fort Washington, and on the occasion of hia last visit we gave him some good advice, which would have made bim President had be beeg wise enough to take it. So much for the spout- of the teakettle and the steam that comes out of it. And now, to exbaus? this ridiculous little Subject, let us look under the teakettle, and see what makes it boil, and who supplies the wood for the fire and the cats’ meat for the Bohemian ketinel. It seems that the full houses and abandant profits of Max Maretzek, at the Academy, for the past few seasons, have in- duced several gentiomen to enter into an. asse- ciation with Jmpressario Gran, to build another and smater opera house, to be devoted chiefly- to light operas and to American artists. One of the artiats to be e: ed, if possible, is Mra Van Zandt, a New ¥ lady, who recently made her delnt here, and developed a voice equal to Pattl’s. Maretzek is.trying to engage Mrs. Van Zandt fer three years, if he can, and this will partly spell Gran’s splendid enterprise. Under these eire cumstanees, and in order to reduce Mrs, Van Zandt’s terms, the Bohemians have been em- ployed to elevate Miss Kellogg at the expense of Mrs. Van Zandt, and Maretzek at the ex pense of Grau. Accustomed to that sort of work, they find no more difficulty in drumming for au artist or a manager than for a pianoforte manufaetarer; but the complications of thie business #are too great forthem. If they try to help Miss Kellogg by breeding a quarrel between her and the Italian artista, the cry eff “native art” helps Mrs. Van Zandt also, an@ Maretzek is displeased. If they give tongue agalmst the Heaatp Grau chuckles and rubs his hands to see Maretzek ferced by his own ser- vants into antagonism to us, who have made his fortune. Then again, what will the publie say when they find that Mrs. Van Zandt ie really the injured lady instead of Miss Kellogg, and that the Bohemians are attacking her under, of their abuse of the Herat? This ie the fire beneath the Bohemian teapot and the fuel thereof. Now let it boil and bubble om until it cracks or is upset.
