The official result of the late election t
in Connecticut on the question of so altering
the constitution of the State as to make the
ability to toad a necessary qualification for the \
exercise of the elector's privilege, has been '
ascertained. The amendment has been adopted
by a majority of 4,841.
Dr. Carnochan, the eminent surgeon of l
New-York, is about to give a lecture to medical
students-on gun shot wounds. He will illustrate
his subject by peppering a corpse with
all sorts of bullets, slugs, &c., &c. This is a
sort of scientific sporting rather shocking to the
nervous system.
Among the monsters in the horticultural
exhibition in New-York city are a pumpkin

a squash from Stamford, Ct., five feet in circumference
; a yellow French squash between
seven and eight feet round; and a beet thirty

There is nothing equal to a pocket full of
doubloons, says the Albany Police Gazette, for
starting up wicked thoughts. Jones was one
of the most steady-going fellows in the world,
till his qncl-i Rimcleeh died, leaving him an
eight hundred dollars deposit in the "Or Moiu
Rank." Jones received his "portion" a
week ago last Friday. The next day he left
t >wu with another man's wife. Under ordinary
cireumctances. Jones would have died a
?p<>tless citizen, and gone to Paradise. The
probability is now that Jones will die a rascal,
and take the "down train" and briug up in the
depot of Relzebub. Think of Jones, and when
you do. bless the Lord that your pocket book
i? only equal to virtue and mashed potatoes.
The celebrated Abd-el-Kader, who is a
member of the Asiatic Society of France, has
recently forwarded to the society, as a mark of
respect, the manuscript of a religious work,
consisting of religious and moral disquisitions,
written by him. As a specimen of the spirit
in which it was written we may mention that in ,
the first chapter, which treats of the advantages
of science, the author complains that the
learned men of Europe, and particularly of '
France, who have carried hutuan knowledge
to a vast height, and are constantly carrying 1
it higher, never think of raising their hearts f
aud minds towards God, who governs the world
with supreme wisdom. "Never," says he, *
"do they mention Ilim in their conversations, t
and never is there any question of Him in ,
their writings." f
The Grand Jury in Anderson in their ^
presentment last week, recommended, in very i
decided terms, a poll tax, and we were grati- s
tied to hear Judge Whitnerendorse the recommendation
in the most hearty manner. We r
hope this will go round all the districts. But d
it is uow certain that the proposition will be t
before the next Legislature, when we trust our v
representees will support the measure for the a
benefit of Common Schools. What a noble ad- 1;
ditiou 50 cents contributed by each male citi- e
zcu of the district would be to the school fuud a
of Anderson and Greenville, and all the other t
populous districts, aud how great would be the c
Increase of interest, feeling and support among F
the people for the cause of Education. As
we have said heretofore, we think the poll
tax will be a test of the earnestness of both
Representatives and their constituents in res- ^
peet to the great cause of Education. h

A misunderstanding has arisen already n
between the Japanese and Americans trading
to that couutry, in regard to the treaty lately s<
entered into by the Uuited States with that 9
government. The Japanese say the treaty hl
provide^ ouly for a temporary residence of a
few days to Americans in the country?it nevor
was iutenaed that they should couie there lt:
and establish their business, and reside there ai
permanently. Wood, water, and shelter of j ^
ships, are all the Japanese thiuk the treaty
calls for. Seme American merchants, from .
tic
San Fraucisico, went to Ilakadodi, with the
object of provisioning whaling vessels, but
were not permitted to stay longer than a few ^
days. They were compelled to go on board j*
their ship at sundown, and when ou shore eJ(
were perseveringly followed aud watched by at(
oilicers, as if they had been criminals under ar- in
. est. Com. Kogers, who happeded to be there spi
r.'as appealed to, but the Commodore did not pr(
usider himself authorized to act without in- 13
?u aw'i\v>ns from his government. According pie
* JapttuQse interpretation of the treaty, | i,w
e valuable results expected from it arc not
:ely to be realized, and yet the treaty seems
be so loosely worded as to justify the interetation
they give it.

YORKVILLE, S. C.
THURSSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1855.
PUBLIC MEETING.
The citizens of York District are requested
meet at the Court House, on Monday, the oth of N
vembcr next, for the purpose of forming a Kin;
Mountain Monument Association. Meeting to ta
place at 11 o'clock, a. m.
KING'S MOUNTAIN MONUMENT.
We call attention to the correspondence botwe
the Hon. W. W. Botce and Col. W. D. Wilson.
be found in another column of this issue. The su
ject matter discussed, is in relation to a Monumoi
at King's Mountain. We heartily sympathize wi
the views of both writers, and have no doubt, t
move will enlist numerous friends, who will be ret
to make liberal contributions, in the prosecution
so noble an enterprise.
The main object of the recent celebration was
exhume the memory of the victory at King's M.m
tain, and place it on an equal footing in 'Tihert;
story," with other prominent battles in revolntior
ry history. It was indeed a demonstration of whi
we may be proud ; but we must not -top here,
we wish to keep alive the gladsome recollections an
kened on "theglorious 4th," we must erect a M?n
nient, a fitting tribute to the chivalric valor, patrii
ie devotion, and self-sacrificing spirit of the aet<
in this mighty drama. Such a memorial should ma
the spot, where American independence was est.i
lished. where the Eagle of Liberty hovered over t
standard of the Mountaineers, and achieved a viol
ry, which subsequent history proves t,? l1:ive be
the precursor of the defeat at Y^rktown. Let
?># thu op'itnpt, of tli.ieo Maintain warriors, who
the glowing language of the gift el w?u
out God's problem of humanity. The l:i-tory of <
government from its formation down to the prc-?
time, is a striking commentary of the magnitude
the event we propose to comuiemouuo. ?m ev?
han.l wc behoM the evidences of the splendor of
results. A government founded upon equal righ
and equal liberty, freedom of thought, and religi?
toleration, our seminaries of learning, our weal I
and intelligence as a people are all the legitimate <
spring of the victory at King'- Mountain. While
are now in the full fruition of ?he blessings von
safed to us, favored with an opportunity f propei
appreciating the results in their course of dev.-b
raeut. let us re-pay a debt of gratitude, by a la>ti
memorial, erected <n the spot, to pr< claim thrun.

A sj ot linke?l with so many endearing :?sso<?iat:?-r
and ennobling recollections, should no longer renin
a pathless wiMerness. Since it is by cherishing su
recollections, and pondering over the stirring seen
ol the revolution, and our earlier history, we m
exult in the enjoyment of so goodly a heritage, it
but obeying the high behest ot' patriotism, to s
apart and eousecrate the spot on which the bloo<
solution of this mighty problem was enacted. 1
frequent recurrence to such scenes, receiving t
instructive lessons imparted, dwelling upon tht
deep significance and weighty import would avr
much in securing the permauencc of our institution
If the North would but heed the lessons to be d
rived from so many blood-stained fields, fanaticisi
low demagogueism, and political corruption won
?tand rebuked as in the presence of higher divinitio
Her higher-law-doctrines and abominable isms, won
10 longer clog the wheels of the bright car of It
irovement and progress. Our day star of gloi
vould twinkle as brightly as ever iu the politic
irmaruent. Slavery and the rights of the State
subjects of such delicate texture, would rest foreve
vbere the wisdom of our fathers placed tlieni?r
;he broad basis, and solemn compacts of the const
wtiou. The troubled waters, too ofUn lathed in
'urv will become allayed, and a broader field of d
,'elopement opened for the progression, and liapp
less, of the human family, than the world has v<
leen.
If, then, the value of monuments consist in pc
>etuatiug the memory of illustrous actions, in cmb<
lying great truths, and principles, illustrated ar
uilt upon as the foundation of a people's greatnes
re should no longer delay in erecting a monumei
,t King's Mountain. We should establish it as
ind-mark, and while we regard the lessons it te.icl
s, and adhere to the principles which nerved tli
rms of patriots in the hour of battle, when perhaj
he destiny of the civilized world hung upon the d<
ision of the hour, we may continue to be a free, pro*
ierous and happy people.
[CORKESI'ONDEXCE. ]
Fonte-Floba, Oct., Gth, 1855.
J/y Dear Sir:?The 4tli was a glorious day a
Ling's Mountain. What a spectacle,?the field c
attle, the vast assemblage, the multitude of freemen
hie array of soldiery, the fair matrons, the geuetl
laidens more beautiful than the rose of Spring, arm
ashing in the October sun, bursts of martial music
:arfs of "mixed embroidery," gorgeous banner
auntiugin the breeze, the sword of Campbell whicl
nd gleamed at the head of the attacking column
ie rifle of White, borne through the engagement
tat historical eagle which had clutched victory ir
s bloody talons at the Cowpens and Eutaw. It waf
i instance of the moral sublime not ofteu met with
this working day world, a very festival of the
reeks at the pass of Thermopohe.
There was, however, one singular omission, a prac;al
move for a monument. Had this been made
lile our hearts were palpitating under the elo;ence
of the man and the occasion, it would have
ssed by acclamination. I propose to supply this
ficiency while the atmosphere is still charged with
sctricity. We must have a monument to perpetu!,
this glorious Southern battle. It was an epoch
the revolution, an out-burst of popular fervour,
mtaueous from the people and of the people, a
(test, a defiance, a despair, and a victory.
I'he battle of King's Mountain fell upon the period
drama of the revolution, like a hand from
.Tea. Two eveits of most disastrous nature had
, just occurred, the defection of Anvdd, and the
. feat of Gates. Distrust an 1 despair aw; e scltl
, i upon the public mind. It was at this moment
j ancestors moved against Ferguson. Their adva
was the march of destiny. Their swords were
! instruments of an aA'enging Nemesis. The vcrvli
^ ! of their camp fires dispelled the gloom of their ce
! try. The clash of arms when they mingled with
1 ; ranks of the enemy, pierced the confines of ca
; colony. . Their shouts of victory restored the fa
j fortunes of the Republic, and all men cried out A
i rica still lives.
We should erect a monument on the very :
; where our ancestors mingled their precious b
with the soil. We should give to the mountain wl
name rears its mighty head in mute eloquenc
tonque to speak through the ceaseless progress!o
ages, to tne generations who are to come imvi- ?

orth From Hon. L>. R. Atchison.
the Platte City, Missouri, Sept. 12, 18o5.
Gentlemen :?Your letter of invitation, requesting
the tny attendance at the Celebration of the Battle oi
l as King's Mountain has been received. It will be altogether
inconvenient for me to be present on thai
rder occasion. I have certain duties, both private and
public t) discharge at home. The Battle of King's
the Mountain was fought by the Whigs under the lend
ster I of Campbell, Mclbwell, Shelby, Sevier and Wilre
linms, against tliotory's under the gallant Ferguson.
u<jh I We liave a similar foe to encounter in Kansas, on
? I.,-., - . -
uic urst.uuuuujr imjetouer next. Ttie "border ruttian.s,"
such as fought with McDowell, Shelby, &c.,
on the one hand, and the abolitionists?such men as
' fought with Ferguson,on the other. We, (the "bor'
Jcr ruffians'') have the whole power of the Northern
States to contend with, single handed and alone,
without assistance and almost without sympathy
from any quarter, yet we are undismayed. Thus far
we have been victorious; anil with the help of God,
we will still continue to conquer.
QC0
' Gentlemen, 1 tliank you for the kind expression in
the concluding paragraph of your letter?"three
in cheers for Atchison and Kansas!" I have read this
jr's
paragraph to sundry of the "border ruffians,'' and
their eyes sparkle; their arms are nerved. We have
been acting on the defensive altogether; the contest
ak- wiih us is one of life and death, and it will be so
m- with you and your institutions if we fail. Atchison,
id- Stringfcllow, and the "border ruffians" of Missouri,
ith fills a column of each abolition paper published in
ng the North; abuse most foul and falsehood unblush
ing is poured out upon us. and yet we have no advc
! , cate in the Southern press; and yet we have rceeiv
no assistance from the Southern States. But th
time will shortly come when that assistance mus
and will be rendered ; the stake the '-border ruffians
are playing for is a mighty one. If Kansas is abo
litioni/cd Missouri ceases to be a slave State, an
! New Mexico becomes a free State, California rc
t mains a free State; but if we secure Kansas as
Slave State, Missouri is secure, New Mexico an
> Southern California, if not all of it becomes a Slav
> State; in a word, the prosperity or the ruin of th
. whole South depends on the Kansas struggle.

i' Until within a few days, I had promised ntyse
f tiie pleasure of attending your celebration, but vti
p ' nous causes have commneil to put tins out or m
e : power. To have been present on such an occasioi
a would have been a source of great pleasure to me.I
look upon the battle of King's Mountain as tli
, turning point of the revolutionary war at the Snutl
- By Gates' disastrous defeat, the country was coiisii
y I ercd conquered. There was no army in the fich
and no hope in the future?all was prostrate. Tli
t first bright speck was the daring achievement of tli
. I mountain men in the capture of Ferguson's arnij
. | But for this event, flic inarch of Lord Cornwalli
through North Carolina into Virginia might huv
E ! completed the conquest of these States, before tli
I second Southern army under Green could have bee
organized and marched to their relief. The battle (
j King's Mountain may. therefore, be considered tli
' great event of the war, and should be held in grati
r '
j,; ful remembrance by all the descendants of thos
j whose independence of foreign domination was c
chieved by the war of the revolution. I wish it wer

another and wo trust a better world, our much es
temrned and sincerely beloved friend and fellow student,
FREDEB-^K J. STEELE; and Whereas it is
fit and proper publicly to express our high regard
for the many excellencies of character which odourcd

Resolved 2d. That during the short period ho was
?r ?? ?- j
i- : amongst us as a fellow student, so amiable was his | t
.. j uniformly geentccl deportment, so modest and yet so j ^
polite his intercourse with us, and so studious were j
, his habits, that he won for himself our highest es- j ci
t ; teem aud respect.
" [ Resolved3d. That in his untimely death, Ebcnezer j (
i Academy lias lost one of its most studious, amiable ,
\ and promising pupils, his parents a loving and af- i t
" 1 fcctionato child, and the community one whose sit- j t
i- ! perior natural endowments, and whose diligent at- t
a tention to his studies, gave bright promises of a <1
, highly useful citizen. v

e j family of the deceased, in this their sad bereave- ;
e i inent. j v

! .nd by the telegraphic recounts (front Vienna) it is |
II j t tied that the allied fleets had left Sehastopol on
j some secret expedition.
,,f ' It is again asserted from Vienna that the Russian
j army is retreating. The Times correspondent, wri- ^
i ting on tlie 21-t. is not at all sanguine that the KitsIII
; -dans will be forced to abandon their position on the
s- i approach of Winter.
y i Ilie correspondent of the Daily News takes a dif- y
. ferent view. He says: The belief gains ground that |
"* j the Utis.-iang are preparing to evacuate the north side
d | of the harbor of Selmstopol. The extensive earth!
works which have been lately constructed, and others
(j- i in course of construction, are regarded as simply
i intended to cover the retreat, and protect the rear- ^
' " i guard of the Russian army. Carts have come in c
g empty from the direction of the .Mackenzie Heights,
anil have gone away laden it is supposed with pro- f<
visions. | u
These arrangements are supposed to indicate an a
>- intention to retire. It is still understood that a combined
movement is to take place against the enemy's fi
position on the Mackenzie Heights. A direct attack r
i from Haktchi-Serai is spoken of, the approach from
3' the south being made by a route which is kept se|
cret, and which will have the effect of avoiding the
I enemy's fortified entrenchments.
Le Nord of Brussels takes a hopeful view of Russian
affars in the Crimea. A writer in that Journal
says: "The situation is not entirely to our disndvan'1
: tago. and the honor of our arms has been in no way
' coinproniised. Our men will no longer be obliged to
I offer themselves up as a holocaust, but will now be
able to defend themselves in a close fight, and sell
their lives at a high cost." J
The same paper states that out of the 10.000 sea- I "
If men who had undertaken, with their officers, the do- j f|
t_ 1 fence of Sohastorml. only a fourth survive, and some *'
j six orscvcn officers. !l
v In ail order which Prince Oortschnkoff has address- ^
' , ed to his soldiers the Prince admits a loss ef 500 to ! ()
_ ' 1.000 men per day, during the last thirty days of '
c ! the siege. To continue to defend the south side, lie j
i sa vs. would have been to expose the troops to be use- |
' lesslv murdered. He concludes by saying: "It is |
1- not Sebastopol we have left in the enemy's hands, j
I but burning ruins that wo have set fire to ourselves, j
I .Sebastopol enchained us to its walls; with its fall we
require freedom of action, and a new war commenlC
! ces."
r. | By telegraph we learn that the Czar has left Xieo- ft
js | laieff for the Crimea, his object in proceeding thither i '
being doubtless to inspirit his forces by his presence, j
( and turn the tide in favor of Russia. j
