day too powerful to be resisted by the opposite pMty among them ? and they have solemnly ?owed, in the face of all opposition, that their efforts shall never stop, Until slsveholding - shall be synonymous with robbery , in public 'Opinion, as it is in fact" Here stands the ac count ? these are the facts, as we are fully as sured, and this the determination of A VERY LARGE portion of those who are bound to jfespect and preserve inviolate our Institutions. f We do not believe it necessary to offer a sin gle argument to the South, in favor of prompt "and efficient measures to defend her from these *3sassins and murderers. We trust all South ern men, of whatever name or party, can see Ml the facts before them arguments enough to *6r the most callous. ? Sut what shall be done? This is the question, and we believe it is the -only one before us. We have thought over the subject, and we have read with deep inter est every suggestion of our cotemperartes in Telation to it, and in every view of it we have been struck with the importance of presenting a bold, decided and united front. To secure "this object, it is highfv necessary that all those j possessing similarity of feeling and interests: should stxr.d side by side. It might do much j toward arresting the evil, if a single slave holding State, or two or more together, or al! ?of them aeparately, should send up their sol emn Protest to. Congress. But we believe that no measure will be so likely to produce a hap^ py result, as the united action of all the slave coiding States in General Convention. ? This course has been suggested by several of the papers of Virginia, Georgia and Carolina, and we are disposed to give it our sanction. We have not time or space left, to give our yr'vtxn at length, and must hope for a better I opportunity to present the subject. We have -said Uius much, that the attention of our rea- j <Jers may ke elicited to the question. It is no j loeger the part of prudence to withhold our ! convictions, that a great commotion will soon take place in this Union. We barely hope the Union will be preserved. Heaven grant it may be, on proper terns. If not sustained on principles of justice ? iet it rend in pieces. If any thing can save it, it may be done by a Convention of all the South, speaking in uni son, with decision, candor, mildness, and in -legibility ? solemnly avowing their determin ation to separate Trom the free States, upon the first interference with the question in Con- , .gress, and mutually pledging themselves to each other to execute that determination to- j jjether, whenever Congress should meddle with the question. We care not what this doctrine may be ' ?called by our opponents ? treason, rebellion, nullification, secession, or whai else they please. We call it Svtuhemism ? and we be lieve it is the doctrine of every honest planter ' and merchant and merchanic in Georgia. ? j We are Southern men, Georgians, the rights and Institutions of the South are ours, and if ; we must give them. up, to be trampled under foot by enthusiasts and madmen, they must first trample our weak frames into the poor dust which they are formed. ? ?oluwtna Selescopc.

Tbe bill conferring Banking privileges oo tfcis campany, passed the Senate of North Carolina, Ayes 25, Nays 22. On last Satur* ?day & passed the second read;ng in the House of Commons, by a vote of 53 to 49. Several amendments have been made to the bill, viz. That tbe branch bank in North .Carolioa shall be located west of the Catawba triver ? That its capital shall not exceed a jnillioo ? That after the road is finished and ?its capital returns six percent to the stock holders* tbe bank may be taxed not exceeding ? j?er cent-on the capital in North C arolina ? "That it shall be liable to scire facias in the courts of N. C. ? That after the road is finished the Bank shall issue no notes smaller ?than ten dollars. These alterations we think are ?xJb -as need scarcely be objected to. CoL Memminger was invited to address the House of Commons, and delivered before that body a spech which is praised in Ac highest terms by the Raleigh papers, as even surpassing the one by which he had previously so mueb distinguished himself before the Senate. CoL M. has added greatly to his previous fepotatien by the ability with which be has performed the arduous duties of his mission. Concerning the General Meeting of the ^ O Stockholders of the Company, we have yet no farther information than the following, from the Knoxviile Register of the 11th. "LOUISVILLE, CINCINNATI AND CHILES TON RAIL ROAD. In conformity with a notice heretofere published, ' a number of the stockholders in the above Compa- I ny assembled at this place on Monday last, for the purpose of electing 24 Directors ford^Arent year. On motion, Mfc CoL John Williams was appd^^^^^Rvj^K and, David Campbell Principal, zie* Assistant Secretary. After appointing a Committee to draw off a scale showing the number of votes to which any number of shares may be entitled ? investigating the validi ty of proxies and adjusting other preliminary mat ter* the meeting adjourned until yesterday, ten o'cbek. As our paper is put to press on Tuesday, we cannot know the result of the election for Di I rectors in time for its in&eriion this week. We are i gratified in seeing so general an attendance of the | stockholders. Individuals from Charleston nnd j Cincinnati, the two extremities of the road, were j present on .Monday, and there appears to be a j general feeling of harmony and determined coope ! ration among the stockholders present, which prom j iscs a certain and speedy execution of the work. We take the following from the U. S. Telc I graph. If Mr. Cralle's medical talents are I equal to his editorial (and we believe they are) . we can confidently recommend his prescript ! tion. Our readers can lay it by until warm weather. THE AGUE AND FEVER. Why should any one have the ague when it is so easy to get clear of it? It is the scourge of all the low country from New Jersy. along the eastern coast, to Florida, and Louisiana, and hangs on its victims for months. The following ccurse of treatment is sim ple in itself, can be attended to in any family without inconvenience, has never been known to fail in a single instance out of many in which it has been em ployed during the last twenty years, and costs very Idtle money. This last, although operating-against it with some, will propitiate many in its favor. In ad dition. we will add that it is a very pleasant rcme- j dy. The cold stage often commences one or two, and perhaps three hours befire the patient is himself aware of it. It first shows itself jn the retreat of the blood from the extremities ro the internal parts of the body. The blood visible, generally, under the nails, will sometimes disappear o:ie and two hours before the sensations of the patient warn him that the chill is coming on. It is. therefore, all-important to com mence in time, and about four hours before the chill is expected lake three grains of the sulphate of quin ine, and if convenient, keep out of the cold. Take the same quantity two hours afterwards, go to bed, and apply a hot bpek to the feet and another to the back and after the lapse of fifteen or twenty minutes commence takingJit short intervals, a fcw spoonfuls of very wenk pdneh, as hot as it can be diank. It is indispensable thatithe punch be very tmzAr,and that it be drank very hit. In a very short time a glow comes over the body, followed by a gentle per spiration, which must be kept up, in a gentle manner , for at feast two hours (three is better) after the usual time of the acess of the chill. Care mi!st be taken to prevent any excessive perspiration, and when a perspiration has continued a short time it is best to remove the bricks, to be immeliately roturned if their removal produces the slightest uneasiness, or any chilly sen sation. When the ague has been of short standing the first attempt at cure almost invariably succeeds. Where it has existed for any length oftime it will be necessary to commence earlier, and continue the perspiration longer, so as completely to arrest and break up the habit, the association or connex on of motions on which the disease depends. In the latter case it will be most prudent 10 pursue the same plan on the return of the next regular period. This has never failed to prevent the return of the next parox ysm, us well as of all subsequent ones. But will not the ague retarn ? It may, and so it may do under any mode of cure, but it is not more likely to return than when cured by other remedies We think less apt. The following gentlemen, xvere on Monday the 9th inst. re-elected Directors of the In surance Company, of Columbia, S. C. for the ensuing year : ANDREW WALLACE, JOHN BRYCE, ROBT. BRYCE, J. I.

I cannot help expressing- the great pleasure I received from the Lecture and Exhibition of Major Penci in the Town Hal! on Tuesday 'ast. The lecture was a c/ood summary of "the history of Gymnastics, Fencing, Quarter Staff and Boxing; and con tained many jud clous observations on the utility of such exercises. Of the Science of the Major and his skill in teaching, the most satisfactory proof was afforded by the admirable display of one of his pupils in Fencing, Quarter Staff and Boxing. A fine little fellow too, of only seven years old, exhibited great grace and address in Fencing, although he has received but a few lessons. We lay aside the importance of such stu dies, as a mere matter of offence and defence, Hut for their decided effect in giving develop ment to the form, sound health, and erect and elegant carriage, they should constitute a part of evtTV system of education. Among that beautiful and intellectual people the Greeks, physical and mental culture were equally attended to. The English from their fondness for field sports, have limited the two to a great extent. In Germany, hovYever, it has been reduced to a regular system. Owing to the relaxing effect of our climate and the C ( t general tendency to inaction, it is important that in early life such exercises should be adopted, as hav ? the effect of securing bod ily strength and a sound constitution. A Gymnasium should be connected with every Seminary of education throughout the coun try. Other forms of exercise have their utility, but there is non? which so regularly brings all the muscle into acticn, and gives an equal degree of strength and activity to the entire body. In both theory and practice Major Fenci seems to be thoroughly versed in his profession and to have great talent in impart ing instruction. A SPECTATOR. OBITUARY I Departed this life on the 9th inst.
