News ' STjt?imaa.*y. Mary Ann Loomis, charged with steal? ing, fell and was killed, in Cincinati, While attempting to escape from the Police Court room by means of the lightning rod. Hobbs, the man who gained such exten? sive notoriety by picking locks at the Great Exhibition in London in 1S51, has disposed of his establishment in that city and is to return to Boston this fall. General Cass has recently presented a methodist society of Detroit, Michigan, three lots of land, on which they willerect a church this season. Tbc land is said to "he worth $3,000. A letter from Henderson, Texas, gives a list of the sufferers by the recent fire there, making a clear loss of upwards of ?200,000 over insurance. One hundred and twenty bottles of strychnine were found in possession of the slaves. It is estimated that the reception of His Eoyal Highness, tbo Prince of Wales, will cost the Provincial Government of the Canadas no less a sum than $1,000,000, independent of the vast amounts spent by the different towns. We notice, by our Northern exchanges, that Wm. Gil more Simms. Esq., our well -known novelist and poet, is ruralizing near Yonkors, on the Hudson river. The Rome (Ga.) Courier says that Hon. David W. Lewis, of Hancock county, will deliver the annual address before the Cass | County Agricultural Society, at the fair grounds, on Monday. September 26th, at eleven o'clock. A.- M. Whiie Cook's circus was performing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, last Mon? day," Mr. Armstrong, in jumping over an? other man on horseback, fell to the ground and broke his arm. which snapped like a pipe-stem, and was heard by all the sym? pathizing spectators^ The St. Louis (Mo.) Democrat says that the "potato crop bas been unusually pro? lific and fine in quality in that vicinity, and that some firms arc sending off vast quantities daily, not only to the parts <m' that State which have suffered from drought, but to Kansas, New Mexico and even to Utah. The geological examination of Texas, which is now going on. has revealed the existence, in great abundance in that State, of tho finest clay, suitable for the manufacture of Queen's ware. As Gen. Pierce was riding in a biiggy, on Thursday, at Concord, New Hamp? shire, his horse took fright at a load of barrels and turned around a corner, throwing him out. He was Stunned for a few moments, and slightly bruised in . the face, though not seriously. James Faison was instantly killed in Wake county. X. C, on the 1st instant, by falling on a steam saw which he was tending. The Montgomery Mail of the 4th, learns that thirty-three negroes, belonging to Mrs. Chambliss, whose plantation is a mile or two from the city, left the field yesterday where they were at work, and made for tho wood. This is a very unu? sual season for negroes to run away. It is, doubtless, the doings of some vile Ab? olition emissary. A Lincoln pole was recently set up at Martinsvilie, Ohio, and the flag to adorn it was presented by thirty-three young ladies. Sixteen of them were dressed in white, sixteen in black. The thirty third was dressed in deep scarlet, with a red liberty cap, to represent "Bleeding Kansas." They all marched round the pole in double tile, black and white arm in arm. The -red one" followed on be? hind, alone and weeping. It is said that thirty* men have been killed or wounded for life by thrashing machines in Indiana during the present season. A man in the western part of Pennsyl? vania last week, fooling with a rattle? snake, was bitten by the reptile, and, in spite of copious doses of whiskey, died in a few hours. On Monday last, says the Vergcnnes (Vt.) Citizen, the heavens were filled with millions of grasshoppers, and those wliich flew highest looked like thistle blows. We have not the least idea whore (!i"v havc gone, and we envy not those who receive their visit, for they left here very hungry. 1-?9 The Franklin Barbecue.?The Frank? lin, HT. C, Observer contains a long ac? count of the meeting and barbecue in fa? vor of the Blue Ridge Railroad. It is re? presented as a very enthusiatic meeeting, some five thousand persons having been in attendance. Speeches were delivered by Judge Frost, Judge Osborne, Mr. Has keH, of Abbeville, Mr. Marshall,-of Wal? halla, Hon. B. Vance and W. H. Thomas. A resolution sustaining a County sub? scription of ?50,000 was passed unani? mously. -o To Writers.?The proprietor of the Darlington Southerner offers a prize of $50 for the best romance, and $25 for the second best. Tho editor of the Southerner also offers $25 for the best agricultural essay. Competitors are requested to send in their productions by the first of December. A sealed envelop, containing the name of the writer, must accompany each, which will not bo opened until the, award has been made. A New Plot.?The Journal of Com? merce, usually a reliable journal, has the following paragraph : It is rumored that William J. Redpath, formerly reporter of Kansas outrages for the New York Tribune, lias recently ar? rived at Port-au-Prince, presented to the Haytian government a plan for the over? throw of slavery in the United States. He is said to have promised to provide 2p00 men, if the Haytian government would furnish sufficient mone\* to equip them and keep them in the field for six months; and to have declared that this number Avould be sufficient, with the ac? cessions of which they are sure in their progress through the Southern States, to liberate every slave within the period mentioned. The Haytian government concluded it had enough to do to lock out for Hayti, and did not care to be swal? lowed up by Uncle Sam. This statement is said to emanate from government offi? cials at Hayti. Whether entitled to cre? dence or not. we are unable to say. The Trade of the City.?It is with much satisfaction that we noticed yester? day, in passing through the great centres of the wholesale trade in Meeting and Iiavne streets, that the merchants gener? ally appeared to be fully employed, and the side-walks lined with boxes and pack? ages, consigned to all parts of the South and South-west. We hope that this is an evidence of the determination of the peo? ple of the South to build up und gusttibi their own commercial cities alio*?\ Black Republicanism to - .!? ist ipuu it own resources. Every dollar.sp* ni North of Mason and Dixon's line only sukta lo tin wealth and resources of those who arc ag? itating oar nun, and it becomes every true son of the South to support Iiis own sec? tion.

A bargain broken on one side is broken on :ill sides." What do the old Webster Wuigs say to this Yanceyism of the Great Expound? er of the Constitution, now that every non-slavcholdihg State East of the Rocky Mountains has nullified the fugitive slave law. and willfully and deliberately refused to carry into effect that part of the Con? stitution which respects tne restoration or: fugitive slaves. lion.

To the Voters of Anderxon District: " Many Fiuksds" have announced my name as a candidate for Clerk of the Court at the ensuing election, and it is due to them, as well as to the vote s of the District generally, that I should-make a response to the announcement. At the close of my last canvass, I stated publicly that I did not expect to be again a candidate, and my purpose remained unshaken until December last, when my situation was in many respects greatly changed? owing to my misfortune, which is known to the District.

Newberry District being one of the riebest Cotton Districts in South Carolina, her people arc large consumers of every kind of merchandize. The C?NSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the nest mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys a fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The terms for inserting advertisements arc certainly as rcasomblc as those of nny other journal in (he country, especially when it is desired to advertise by contract. The CONSFiRVATIST numbers among its con? tributors gent lernen of the tirst talent and soundest political faith. With their assistance, the editor trill endeavor to make his journal an acceptable and ever welcome family newspaper and lire-side companion. TJou political ctiaracter of the paper is of the strongest States Rights stamp. Relieving that the Constitution under which the Confederacy of the American States was formed, has been repeatedly and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation States" have been the only sufferers?that the Union of these Slates is no longer a policy founded on the principles of right and justice, but that the bond of Union is '-the cohesive power of public plunder"?the proprietors prefer that their journal shall rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at any price. TERMS.?The paper will bo regularly mailed to subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol? lowing reasonable rates of subscription : One copy, per year, - - $2.00 Three copies, - 5.00 Five copies, * 8.00 Ten copies. - 15.00 Twenty copies, - 25.00 fisSf* The money upon these term3 always to be paid in advance.
