T h e Reign of the Mob!
Events are rapidly approaching their fiDal shapo at
Charleston. The reign of the secessionists is fast becoming the mere reign, of the mob. The New York Tribune
leans, for instance, through a letter from a perfectly re. apeotable sourco in Charleston, that the other day a body
of twenty minute men from the country, entered a large
private house in that city and demanded dinner. A dinner
was given them, and then they demanded ten dollars each,
saying that they had not come to Charleston for nothing;
and the money was furnished also!
Another fact of still greater signiGcanco has come to
its knowledge. Gov. Pickens has written to an officer of
high rank in the Un Hod States Army, a native of Sooth
Carolina, who is loyal to the stare and stripes, requesting
him to come to Charleston and protect them from the
mob. The officer has declined, sayfn? tbat ho can serve
the country elsewhere, and that ho docs not wish to have
any part in tho proceedings now going forward in that
State.
