The euly conclision that can bs attained after the most in Volligent deliberation, must be, that if ever the people of say city were bent on complete political suicide, the @tizens of Charleston are certainty go inclined, Tho suicide who launches himself {nto eternity with the sudden drawing of the noose about his neck, or he who blows oui his brains in a frenzy of despair, Is speedily Wid of bis woes, But Charleston, and with her the entire Stato of South Carolina, ig su wferiag the self-imposed tortures of a lingering and dreadful political death.

About ten o'clock every morning the moumers congregate about their favorite hotels or whis- Key mills and in imbibing their matutinal “horn” pass through the mournful formalities of a salute, and touch- fag their glasses soiemaly, whisper the standard toast ot the South—‘*The land we love.” Ths seutiment having been giiped down with many sighs and meaning wagsof the head, tie ghostly conclave goes intoexecutive session f@an out of the way corner im deliveration over the wrongs of the South aud argument as to what might have haypened providing something else had not (rans.

Think of it! A population of seven hundred thousand with. only two newspapers. And even these were of necessiiy very much restricted in their circnlation, for railroads we had none, nor post ronds, nor postmasters, and greenbacks were still regarded in the light of rare exotics.
