gJPASTAHlBra? .. : p THURSDAY, FEBRUARY M, 1857. ? Mr. A. II. Smitu is our authorised agent at Co- ^ OUR FOURTEENTH VOLUME. ar This number begins the b'ourtecuth volume of the OL 'Carolina Spartan." Auotlier year hna been ud?- " *d to it* existence?another annual revolution has I impressed it %?Uh features of a deeper sobriety?of a more expanded find developed age. To retrospect U the post yenr^at this stand-point is both agreeable and inters*ting. To dony that we have had trial*, 1,1 opposition*. and troubles, incident to our vocation, would be to chtitn exemption front the influenceb l'' of ootward circumstances?to arrogate n position jgg above that .-.Doted to liuinunity. The lloratian doctrine is, that no one is salislied with that lot ^ which chance or nature assigns him. While this, in a restricted s< n?, may be regarded as philosophi- ?cally true, wo have no special causes of di. satisfaction to chronicle during the past year. We have been cheered forward by nil iucreasiug list of friends r< and generous supp ^rters, by smiles of encourage- ^ ment nud words of comfort. To day wc feci that ' tho existence of our paper is moro vigorous tlinn at 1(> any furmer period. Under considerable accessions ' ' to our list, and an increasing advertising patronage, we enter upon the Fourteenth Volume with renowed energies. In the coming year wc contemplate improvement* %' satisfactory to ourselves and more advantageous to | " our readers and those who do business in our columns. Some of those arc uoar?others more re- ^ mote. 13ut they will bo roJized in good time, as far as we ct?:? forecast the future. Under this promise, will not our present friends ** try to enlist More in our behalf ? A few additional names at caeli post office might readdy be obtained ?the wholo swelling to a respectable aggregate ; ' and the additional means thus brought to our aid rc wilt enablu us to requite the interest taken in tho ^ welfare of this paper. We aro grateful for llio very liberal encourage? jtr. ment that has marked the present management of '' tho Spartan, aud hopeful for the future. Hut we w shall uol relax effort. Wo aim to (urnish a goo I paper?and one growing constantly bettor. Come up to our help, then, and bless us with a long list ol prompt paying customers, and see if we do not ru more than realize the promises now made.

On the 5Wtli December we comment-d with mo severity upon the jivrmissiou giveu to the rcjidenl of tho Blue Ridge Railroad to advocate i iutcrests before the bar of the House in our Ligature, nud, on the assertion of Mr. ex-Speaker iddlctcn, hi Id the per mis-ion to bo unusual and e influence unparliamentary.

OLD MAIDS. "No mistress of the hidden skill, No wiuard gaunt and grin, l Goes up by night to heath or hill, To read the stars (or thee The Old ft Maid in all the kind Of vine-enciroled France, I), blown ujhjii thy brow and baud Her philosophic glunee. "1 bind thee with s spell," said she, "I sign thee with a sign; No woman's love shall light on thee, No wotnan's heart be thioe!" Mkssrb. Kditors: Cn a gloomy evening of hut eck, while endeavoring, by the aid of a eomlortable e, and Roberts' Life o( llnnnnh More, to induce more cheerful atmosphere into my parlor than v siled without, your paper, containing an article i "Old Maids," was handed to me, with a re<]?cst at I woulJ answer it. My pen witl doubtless luck tho exhilarating imuluut of the "delightful iluvuna," bat with llio mil impress of the life I had been reading, and in e strength of a righteous cause, I truet I sball not together fail in an humblu attempt to vindicate a ass too often made a mark for satire and ridicule, llamiah More says of puns: "I have a great ndtrness for a bad pun when spoken, but r. until bad pun, that is indeed a very serious eril." > of OIJ Muidisnt: when spoken of, it may be sug st ve of innocent mirth and laughter; but w.ien ritlen against, as a champion of tho sex, I cannot I it pass unchallenged, but must enter my protest toto against the cynical and superstitious dissragement of "Old Maids." IIow littlo are they understood, and how iiudointc tire wo to futhont tho deep secrets of their tier life? The blighting perchance of their ycung lections, which has left tho world n blank, and icmselvet? "To die?but know no second love." heir lives are not only often good and ustful, but icy diffuse n mild and subdued liulo of Isippiness ouud them. An atmosphere of beneficence enrcles them, and the crown of a thousand niartyrnns rests u|hhi their brow. Disappointed hopes' <c sill1 uldcring ashes, lie often hid beneath a cold tterior. And when the spirit tins triumphed,and e r< ad U|r>ii the calm brow that pence of God liich pusscth all understanding, wc believe that en lory seldom reverts to the shadowy past, or ills back the bright thoughts, the glov ui kind id blessed affection, in which life once jo wed on, ,-aring thein almost unconsciously upon its bosom, cause it bore them calmly and g?n;1y. That iiitd I'atl ! bow are its hallowed recti niaeenccs shrined in the hidden depths of their Icart, and | . come "the guiding star of memory." A question propounded is," Who are Old MaidsT" nglaud's brightest ami wisest sceptre was *way?d f her Maiden Queen, ami over her palmiest days. I'hcrever good works and philanthropy are heard r, the nnmesol Miss l)ix and Graoc Greenwood will | iiilinuo fresh us u green bay tree; and Hannah lore will ever shino one of thu loveliest and igbtest ornaments of her sex. "Why is less attention |kiiJ t>? Old Maids than to oung Indies?" it can only proceed from the fact int tiie present era is deficient in the true kindliness heart and chivalry which distinguished givitlcicn of tho olden time*. Few who knew thetn would iiidemn them to met e suflerauco; and most of us lay recall some self-forgetting maiden relative, who, om the rising hope of the house to tho little platr upon tho knee, has been ever welcomed as n ch argosy freighted with goods for others. The "syllogism." I presume the premises art-, rst, that Old Maids are useless; second, that they u detestable. lurgo, the conclusion: Old Maids ' rc a nuisance. But I admit neither promises nor [inclusion, by any of the new or old modes or gruitions of arguing. Neither by the catechetical ictliod of Sociatcs, nor by Aristotle's improved in;ntion of those little weapons called "syllogism*.''' The life of an old maid is often a history of prae- ; i*al heroism. Others may yield to softening cuioans, may indulge the rapt uro of requited afTeetios. ut where for them ore the sweet moments < f doicstic afleet'u n: the glad hours of joy and hope: le doys begun and elided in happiness? Their ro may seem aimless, hut the mystery of the iao nun ui uioso vvno seem so well luted to ((race n ! ircr station in a problem wo cannot solve here, but e si.all knuw hereafter that it win ordered in wisall); while for the present we tnu?t bthrrt "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Kuiigh hew iUliii how wc will." d U STICK.
