The character and condition of her people affords ample proof that Southern institutions do not operate injuriously on the physical comfort, the morals or intelligence of society. With so much that is valuable and desirable to preserve, we do not wonder that she is highly conservative in feeling, probably more so than any State in the Union. We concur with her that it would he treasonable and profane to imitate, at the South, the n-slless spirit of clmnire and iinmv?i#inn < >-. hibited by llie new dominant party at the North, liut we widely differ with her as to the best means of stemming this incoming' tide of innovation. Political disunion would not bring about intellectual disunion. Public opinion is fabricated in Western Europe, for that is the centre of thought and fashion for Christendom. Thence it finds its way through our North to the South. The current of thought, thus setting in upon us, will be sure to subvert our institutions, unless we can check its advances, by originating a counter-current at the South. There will be no long truce, or drawn battle, between institutions so opposite in their morals, their tendencies and their influences, as ours-and those of Western Europe and the North. We are b^en uauy one people. Having similar wants, religion, thoughts and interests, and controlled by one public opinion, however different our existing political institutions. Social forms so widely differing as those of domestic slavery, and (attempted) universal liberty, cannot long eo-exi*t in the Great Republic of Christendom. They cannot be equally adapted to the wants and interests of society. The one form or the other must be very wrong, very ill suited, to promote the quiet, the peace, the happiness the moral ty, the r< ligion and general wellbeingof the community. Disunion will not allay excitement and investigation?much less beget lasting peace. The war between the two systems rages every where; and will continue to rage till the one conquers and the other is exterminated. If with disunion we could have "the all and end all tliu !. %? ; ? w.vf VIIV .?IMMV,V.UIVII10 WUUIU UUL JUXfliri" our Europe.m and American adversaries with :icl<Jitiotial zeal, and make them turu a deafer car to the thousand arguments and facts which we can adduce to "slow tliat the evils of our system are less than those of theirs. The time is eminently propitious for adducing those facts and arguments, and the South is "about it." Our adversaries delight in sociological discussions; for they are hold and rash experirnentors, sanguine optimists and perfectionists, who admit that they have not yet found tlie -right form of society, and are eager to lUtert to the suggestions of all who propose to show a new road to Utopia Let us take the census of crime ami imvertv iirwl- nf.firw) nf it.u South and of tlm North and of-- Western Europe in one hand, and in thtf-'other the history of the famines, tlie 'riots, the revolutions, agrariatiisms, and the.universal anarchical upheaving of free society.

The following letter to Colonel Frazier, and which wo aro permitted to publish, will explain itself.

Wc commend his letter to general j>ferus:d : Edgefield Advertiser. New York, April 16, 1856. Col. Frazicr?Dear Sir : I am requested by Pimm, a colored woman, formerly a slave in your place, to inquire about her returning to Edgefirld. She had soim* conversation with you at the Astor House about it, and kIic says you were to write to mi! or I to you. Diana now tells jne she would like to return to Edgefield?but not to be placed in such a position as to be Bold. She wan is to go with a good master. There seems tol>en wrong impression gone abroad in regard to this case. As to her being bought by abolitionists,it is not true. Her old mother collected some $300 of the money. among families where Bhe wns known and acted in her capacity of nurse. I advanced her $100 to make lip the $400, the prioe paid for Diana to Mr. Goodc. I myself am no abolitionist?believe your negroes are better off and fetter treated at the Soutli than they would be here. Henry Ward Beecher may have contributed $5 to 6Fd mom Lucy to buy Diana. I do not know Beecher?never was in his church I 1- ? * .... ?uiuk upon mm as a i?ig numtmg?and you do us a wrong when you plnco us in the same lint. Old Lucy attended Dr. CoxV church, (E| iscopal,) was a regular Sunday School allendaiit like a child ns she was. and the children of the Sabbath school contributed their pennies?half of Brooklyn knew old Lucy and helped her to buy her Diana. All of this is not to our present business. Diana wants to return to Edgefield ; she would like j-ou as a master?"thinks you IJ -- 1 TIT... . - uiiiu imisiMi nor. win you please intorm me wliat your laws or c.UHtorns are in reeard to free niggers. It's no now kink of Diitnn.hcr idea of rrtuming. Site told mo soon after her urrivnl that she would return Soutli after her mother's death, if she could. I hold the bill of sale or title to her, and she comes tome for advice and directions. What yon advise in the matter filial! be aitended to. I would like to see the color of the hundred dollars I paid towards her. Old Lu?-y was nurse to my wife when .1 child and was a pensioner on her family, (as well as other?;) and she begged of me to send the money, as she wanted Diana to close her eyes on earth?and Diana Rent word that her only desire on earth was to soothe her mother's declining years, and all tImt dain'd stuff". She wants to get back, l.ow shall it be done ? Yours very trulv, RAY B. BASTERBROOKS. The Garroto. A corrospowlent of the New York Mirror, being in Havana, inspected the garrote, and thus described it: It is the most complete thing T over saw for choking a man. It is attached to a piece of limber about three feet long, half a foot wide, and two inches in thickness; one end of this piece of wood is so shaped as to fit in a hole in a solid flooring, and the criminal in placed in front of the tipright post, on a seat made something like a piano stool ; bis legs are pinned to the sides of the sfool, and his arms are tied behind him; bis head then iB placed between two iron prongs, made so as to fit 1 1- -f -1- - 1- - ** - uii ino iijirK 01 mo iiet-K; nireciiy under these are two other pieces of iron, about ho inch square, alittle over a foot in length, and perfectly smooth; these pieces pass through the post, and are moved with great rapidity and precision along the sides of the neck, by the actiotv of a siirew which passes through an iron plate that unites with the ends behind the p<*t; the screw is turned by an iron bar, about threo feet long, that fits 011 llio end of it; apiece of iron about ?8 Inrge round hs your finger is attached to the outer uDds. This completes the apparatus ; and by a tn'mVof -this screw the side pieces are drawn in, passing the front piece against .the throat, 60 as to break the neck almost [instantly.

Tf. finpnlrq I'lumnnnrluhlv nf Rnmi? rich persons, mid prescribes rules for the use ami employment of wealth. And we know, for ourselves, that '.hero are advantages accruing from affluence; and that very much which is disparagingly spoken of the opulent, is the dictate of mere envy or the offspring of tliat vile agrarian spirit which would level all the distinctions of society. But at the same timp, it must be acknowledged that there exists a deep and widespread infatuation as to the beuefits of large accumulations ; and we ask, here, to be , indulged in some hints respecting "the deceitful nciss of richeB." Some mistake, as to the fact of possession. TllCV arn. neilinns. rprwifed tn liave n >> ? r~ 1 ?

Very indefinite is the standard of what constitutes wealth. On our way up the scale of property, we reason that might we but reach the grade of a more favored neighbor, we should von* elude we had enough, and would rest satisfied there. At length, that point of ambition is attaiucd; and now, with equally grasping desires, we aspire to own as much as a 'yet more prosperous acquaintance dues. And so we go on coveting and collecting, until even wo ourselves become con- , vinced of the truth of the adage, that "to be rich is to gel a little more." Multitudes nie deceived with "riches," as a source of happiness. They do secure the possessor the luxu- { riesand elegancies of life ; they do enable | him to gratify his tastes and carry out his ( plans; they do invest him with considerable power of control over the opinions and j practices of his fellows. But there do nlso , emanate from the same source cquntcrac- j tive influences.

Who does not know -that the selfmade men, under our form of government, are the most useful and important members of society. Many are misled with "riches," as a means , of influence. It does command for you a train of followers ; but they are too apt to be heartless sycophants. It does bring you into association with "the higher circles; but such are more likely to corrupt you than to be! themselves purified by the contact.
