EDGEFIELD C.11. THURsDAY, APRIL 23, 1840. The Rev. Mr. Cartledge, by Divine permission, will preach at the Baptist Church, in this Village, on Wednesday the 6th of May next. Rain.-Since our lust nltice of the wea ther, some pretty heavy showers of rain have fallen it this District. The Rain King is unwilling to leave us. Likesome other guests whom we have known, his ab sence at this time, would be better than his company. The Hon. F. V. Pickens arrived at this place, on the 1th inst. lie obtained leave of absence for a short time from Washington, on account of sickness in his family. *We are indebted to the lion. F. W. Pickens for public documents and papers. We are indebted to the Hon. Mr. Dtmn tan, of Olio, for a pamphlet copy of his sjseceh, on the hill to authorize the issue of Treasury untes. This is a sensible speech and a vindication of the Adminis'ration. lh.is severe tipon General Scott. As we said before, the liooralble gentleman de parts widely from his text. But he is somewhat excusable, as all orators do so. in this talking age. At an election held in Angunta,Georgia, on the 13th inst., Daniel Hook was elect ed Mayor, and the following gentlemen Al dermen: Messrs. Jackson. Parish, Crnmrr p, Warren. Bones, Dunlap, Bishop. Rober t son, Richards, Harper, Miller, and Hlem in;. Speech of Mr. Pickens.-We commend to the ttention of our readers, the specrh -of our Representtive, the 1lon. F. W. Pickens, It will be seen that it is a reply to Mr. Graves, of Kentucky, who had at tacked bim in ssiameernark4. It breathes a spirit of independencemaud ceindoutr % hiehi characterizes the speeches of this gentle mian. M.%r. Pickens had been tantited by 1he hold Kentuckian. for biasupport ofeer tain leadint measures of the Administra nion. In his speech, he fullyandteI satisf.ac 4orily defines his positioi. It ne miiseake tot. it is that fi Smit I Carelitna ut the porem ent time. She will not desert her State Rights principles. because the --Powers -that be," % homt she eonce liholdly and lion estly oppoei. now think pmprer to give them cotntenance and support. By them, she will stand or fall. Sie will oppose all .who oppose them. and ;he %%ill give her -nid to tall. who will le finnd hatiling on her side, and that of the Constitution. Editors look;ng up-not at Hone.-The New York Star hats the above cption to -t short notice of the appniitotintnt of Mon -sieur Thiers to the Premierslip of Frace. 'This very able politician was formerly Editor or the Giobe, a French ne'wspaper. As we said ont a former occaionm, " hontor to whtomt honor is due." Mr. Thiers jttst ly mnerits the htighi distiniction which h~as been conferredl upon iim. It is kiumvn toa some of outr readers,that the editors ofjour inals in France, ceompose a highly honmora-. 4ule anad influential class. All te honiors of tihe State, atre opetn to themi, ande often -do they', obataint themi. It is otherwise int Enagland, that land tif Artistocr'ats and' Ex cltusivcs. Int that free couantry, titled fools and knaves ofien "loouk dlown"~ with conatetmlpt, ttpon mereT conductors of news papers. who not utnfrequtently excel theim in tatlents, anud in every thing else hut mnere WVe do not concur in opinion with the Star, that editors nre not "looking up" at horne. Many of them, itn near contry, at tain high htonors. Unefortuntte'ly, some of the mnost worthless of the craft, are reward ed beybnd liicir deserts. W~e have received the first unmler of the "Hlamburg Journal," pubtllished bay Yar horotigh atd Mullay. 'rie mnechuanical part of it is very naeatly exeented. We refer our readers to tihe Prmspectus, wvhich will be foutnd in another columnt. We have receivedh a numbier ofC the "Eu ;aw Whig and Public Ade'rtiser," pub. lished tat Entaw, Ala., by liouston & Dat vi., atnd edited by RI. G. Quaarles. Esq., formterlyv a resident of this place, it sup ports the claims of WVm. H. Iliarrison fear the Presidency, andut John Ty ler feor the Vice-Presidentcy. The editor is severe uponi the Admitnisaeration, but says that his journal wvilhl be open to all parties, for tenm perate dliscussioan. A Post Ollice laos been estalishedc at Tabernacle, Mariotn District, in this State and James Pot ter appoaintedl Posm-master. The post-office at Jnesville, Sumiter Dis trict has been discotntintied. Siauel N. Evins has been appointed post-master at Pnolesville, Spartanhutirg District, and Jas. N. Neabitt, at Crowsvihle, in the samte District. Connecticut Election.-The Whigs have elected their candidate for Govcrnor by .aoa 4000 miritv~t.. The Charleston Courier of the 16th inst. says: "The Cireuit Court ofthe U. States con mmenced its scssion,in this city.on Tnes day last, Judge Gilchrist presiding. Judge Wayne has not attended yet, and we in derstand it is uncertain whether he will be in at tendence, this term". To the Members of the State Convention of the Baptist Denomination, in South Carolina. Dear Bretiren,-The President of the Bonwd of Truitees. of the Furnan Insti iulion, has receitly informned me, that the Tffairs of tlie En'ilish and Classical tie partment have nuderontie snich n change, since the annual meeiing of the Conven tion. as to render an Exit Se.ssion oft he UCnii ventitn itt(isieisibly ntecessary. From the statements that tie makes in his com - munication, I fully concur with hin in opinion. I have, therefore, consulted the Board or Agents of the Convention on the enhject, at whose instance I am nuthorised t) call extra meetmts of the Body. The Members of this Board concur with rne in thie opinion, that such a meeting should he called on the present occasLitO. Thus authorized, I do now a)point 10 o'clock in the morning Mondsty. th! 6th day of July next, as the time, and the seite of the inctitttiou, three miles from Winns borotgh. as the phice, at which the Mem hers of* the State Convention ofthe m aptist Denomination in S.

And, as the inter ests of the Denomination and the cause of God, imperiously reqtiire that the meeting he held, I do earnesily and aifueionately, entreat every member of the Body to be preseut at the titte appointed.

The Setin'e, yesterday, was chiefly tc en pied witi the bill to raise, by eli-ltment, fifieen hundred ien it) serve in Florida through the war. No oppowilion vas inade to it ; tut there was samte discussion upon a sngestion thrown out by W.

He said. officers rould lie liititd amione the citizens of the West, who were entred to the hardkihip of Indian ighting; contil )iiiv their heds tipon t log ; iad follow a trail throich svatmps and forests. These men wolI e more efficient thant the West Poiiterm, though they had mit their sci ence. 1t was ophposed. however, by the Ilitmry Commiittee, as a 'di-lit t)t the oflicers. of the lite.

Mr. Adains, though overse to concsiolns, agreed to postpone his bill to Wednesday week. Mr. Ilnd, of N.
