Protects of disunion norm to bo lit high fitvor in South Carolina The majority of her public men and men of in fluence act on and are acted upon by tho people?the greater portion of whom seem to think that tho time ha* oomo when the "value of thin Union" ought to be sorion* Ijr calculated. Evidence of the depth, ox - tent and aggravation of the evil may l? gathered from tho multitude ns*ombl*d in Colleton district: from the official and ap Cloved acta of the Houtli-Carolina Legis ture and the unreproved declaration* ??f men high in office in that Mtate. The in dication* ate certainly not a little lamenta-1 hie, but suggest a lew reflection* not *o! creditable to the Htate in <|uc?tion.

Would it be surprising; thst murmurs should be heard! Mote suprising is it that those murmurs were generally rojircwod by a sense of patriotism. They never as sumed any alarming or imposing form? and wore never boldly and authoritatively reiterated. Then boweyer South Carolina waa so Aill of patriotism, as to bo shockod at the bare imagination of sedition at the condemned it unsparingly. They preten dod to H-el "even a stain as a wound;*' and prttfeming to think, with Ccasar, that Owwr'it wife should be above suspicion, they reprobated the North, on suspicion, of roboUiou?presuming, perhaps in that case rightly enough, that tho North was ag grie ved euough to rebel. Of eouiwo sucb oonduct could not but in spire the highest degree of respect and ad miration for tlio patriotism of Houth-Caroli na.

We went oq ra pidly, and without tlie slightest accident or difficulty, till wo arrived^ at Longford, where they are rebuilding lite bridge over the Coin, about one mile and a half tho Lon don sido of Colnbrook. On the bridge is piled n largo stark of bricks, so high aa to impede the view Irotu the nature of the road which winds un to the top of lite bridge. Ju?l as wit Arrived st this |>oint, a bfnad-wheelod waggftn wan approaching the bridge in the same direc tion as ourselves. In advancoof the steam er wus our advanced phaeton, and behind the steamer a carriage ( .attaining our coke and some of the engineer*. At the moment onr leading carriage had passed the Wag gon, the steamer following close, the mail from Bath appeared at the top of the bridge coming on rapidly. We called out to tho coachman to pull up. but lie not being 4 ware of the unusual carriage he was about to meet, kept on till we all Itecamv entan gl?d und n- >rly jammed together. The leaders ol the mail Iteitig high conraged, and their bends close to the steamer, bolt ed round, and broke the mail traces. Mr. Gurnet . anxious to avoid mischief, forced the streamer up agiiinat the stack ofbricks, by which be did some injury to the steam er. but of no consequence beyond the do-1 lav of a quarter of an hour. The mail put on a new bar and traces, and we both proceeded on our respective journeys. Wo hnvchnd no other accident whatev er. but a fracture of the iron of one of the wheels, and aro going forward immedi ately . ? We came firom Cranford Bridge to this place, in liair hours and ten minutes, in eluding all stoppages for water, coke, turn pikes, lie. which of ouurso in our first at tempt, cannot he expected to lie managed with the celerity wo may calculate upon liereaflar. / We met and passed on the road, between Cranford Bridge and tliie place, 31 carta, 7 waggons, 9 post-chafcwe, 4 mail-coaches, 7 stage do. 1 drat with two horses, drove of carthorses, ft gigs,? homes, of which lean you not one atarted, or was by any dint orbed by the steamer, extc/it tie nail tor* a on the brMgt at Lonftfortl.

Wo, therefore^ were reaolved U> avoid all poenbility of danger to an f part of the eteamer, by alwaya civug plenty of wa ter; we, therefore marie U a rule never to fro above four milt* without taking in wa ter. In order to accompMeh thie, we atop ped whenever we eaw water near the road , There were altogether about eighteen* tlemen, ud u many engineers and at tendanta. When wo wanted water, we formed a Jane, (asat a fire) in some ia ?Unoeo getting over tho hedge to a pond in a field, and handing the bucketa from on* to another till the tank wan AitlT We car ry three-bucketa alwayccrtth us. We were disappointed in not finding coke where wu wanted it, and were oblig od to go out of the road rrith the carriage bi attendance, to letch coal from a wharf near the forty-eighth mile (tone. .Vo?m&?rurA?/ri'cr wasvisiblewhilstburn ingcoke, but as soon as we used coal (which made an excellent Aro) tho amoko became visible, and would moat certainly beoijec lionable on n public road. But when we got coke at Now berry, no more smoke was visible till we got to Deviate. The coke we took in at Ifovizes was so bad that we could not get it to burn, bnt were again obliged to have recourse io coal. After this thesmokeappeared again, and in Melk sham it l>eginning to grow darker, some sparks flew up the chimney, which made the appearance of a beautiful Are work. This would be highly objectionable,aod daugerous to 'hatch or bay etarka but it can never happen with cbfe. The fiiat five miles from C'ranfbrd Bridge to Colnbrook (exclusive of fifteen minutes lost by our moeting with the mail) we did includiug three minutee taking in water at a pump, in twenty-fire minutee; we therefore, travelled five miles in twenty two minutes. At our quickest pace, the poft horses were kept in a gallop, and when weatopp od, were in a tofiltr lather. The light Phaton could keep no very well, but the post carriage was so heavy, that the post boys satd no pair of boras could keen up, and wo were obliged to take four all the rest of the journey for the/to*t carriage in the rear, 1 was apprehonhivo that the tmoke would frighten horses ; but with tho exception of one little spirited mare in a gig near Melk sham, and the mail horses at Longford* I rea|ly did not IM any absolute Hart. On the whole, 1 should ?ay, aa an old cavalry officer, that I never saw so little notice paid by horses to common stages, as they shewed to the steamer. When we were going the first five milea nothing could be easier, more free from noise, or anv sort of objectionable inconve nience, and tho movement ao eaay, that there was nothing to alarm any body. Nothing like tho ofifitarance of a fourtiome coach going the samo pace. Wo got coke for two fit nee a hu*hrt at the retail firke. Wo burnt hut vomt little mora than naif a bushel a mile, and should certainly never exceed half a busliel when all is perfect. The expense, therefore, of one hundred miles is only right thiiilngrand four pence, exclusive of the wagee to the engineers. I consider this Jim experiment deckive of aucceti.
