"Wads Hampton, a grandson of Gen "Wade Hampton of the Revolution, have tendered their services to the Minute Men of Columbia, constituting a "Mounted Guard," and to bo known by the initials of M. M. M. They have been, of course, accepted. We chronicle the pleasing fact that a "Mounted Guard" of Minute Men has been formed out of the /Camden Minute Men Association, and it already era braces some of the choicest "flower of the youth." An -Artillery eorps has also been determined oil, and we .shall soon have in Kershaw District one of the best little armies to be found in the land. How they will , rform when the "tug of war" comes, we can only i by what our boys have done in the past.

"Its principles, statements, and conclusions, are just, masterly, and unexceptionable. Ilis caption, "Tho South alone should govern the South,'' and its corollary, that, "African Slavery should be controlled by those alone who are favorable to it," are selected as themes.

"Superior to the generality of efforts upon the same subject, it is comprehensive and searching: free from ostentation, its candor equals its patriotism. It is practical, plain and full. " 'Ideas,' says Mai.lhraxche, 'aro little things.'? With Mr. Towxsexo they arc like bullets: clear, concise and univocal, observing it strict connection, ho is pointed an.l methodical. As an argument, it is more solid than massive, although eminently logical and convincing. His efTort is calculated to create reflection. Wo havo had too much bluster, and not enough of matured and earnest vindication. Abused and disrespected, the South lias too long remained inactive, aud we have committed mistakes in supposing,?1st. That tlic Slavery agnation was connncu to a lew innatics, 2d. That there was sufficient conservatism at the North to restrain it. Our views have changed; the light of experience has dissipated this obscurity, and every effort which enlightens tho public mind, presents the question in its real aspect, and inculcates manly resistance, should ;bc appreciated and extolled. The proper ideas must be usodto develop the true sentiment ;?the opinions of the people must he directed. Revolutions are the results of changed opinion. No people have ever inaugurated one without fixedness of opinion as to wrongs committed upon them. Anarchy and mad strife have, sometimes, ensued from their mistaken notions. The fulcrum of action, they must be brought to the acting point. "The Revolution of 1G-10, which beheaded Ciiari.es the 1st, was the result of opinion. The American Revolution. self-sacrificing and triumphant, was caused by a change of opinion toward the Mother Country! So with tho South; her opinions are, and have been, progressing towards resistance. Seeking to harmonize with the North, she lias received infamous treatment; striving for pence, she has been thrust to the wall: hor rights infringed, property stolen, and citizens murdered. For her devotion, she lias been cursed; for her patriotism, ostracised ; and, although the source of revenue to the North, her people have been treated as barbarians; and the torch, tho knife, and the iusidiious strychnine, have reveled in Bacchanal orgy over her desolated homes and invaded firesides. Virginia and Texas tear record of Northern conservatism. "This pamphlet, by inducing reflection and swelling the tide of resistance, is acting tho part of a good Samaritan. Revolutions must have force, moral stamina , and intellectual weight: practical and pointed arguments, i masterly handled and developed, tcud to produce the ' two latter and ergo the former. "D'Alembebt, CoxnonoET, and Dime rot, under- stood the principles of developing revolution, and if there had been more of the moral element, the Revolution of 1790 might have terminated differently. 1 "This pamphlet corrects false positions, and ineul- 1 rates the right sentiment Wo have no metaphysic ( questions of right to discuss, but homes to defend, and < household-gods to protect We must, consequently, j view the mutter in its proper form. The result of our opinions must be, to struggle unceasingly, if necessary, ^ or tamely submit, and sacrifice every thing dear to c freemen. Mr. Towxsekd's statements force conviction t tnd fix opinions. Lot us trust that they will coutri- 1 bute to change a conservative submission into hightoned resistance, partyism into harmony, and the love "j of Federal office intp sectionalism. His reasoning is r (Uraulative; he exhibits the rupture of the Democratic ^ party, the triumph of Ropjiblic^nisrt, the grievances Political jffvcfingni iHoiilgotsiory. !
