EDGEFIELD.C. 11. TauRSDAY, F.BRUARY 27. 1840. A change having taken place, in the de parture of the horse mail from this place, our next number will not he published un til the 7th of March next, which will be on Saturday week. Our' paper will here after he issued regularly, every Saturday. We have made this change in our day of publication, for the benefit of many of our subscribers, who will thereby, receive their papers at an earlier time, than they do at present. To CoRREsPONDENTs.-We would re commend to our correspondents. the ob servance of the following rules : Write your communications in a plain legible hand. Carefully puctuate every sentence, and be particular in spelling every word correctly. Do not write on more than one side of .a leaf of paper, in order that your article may be divided out to two or more coin positors, if necessary. The comnuunications of all. who do not observe the two first of these rules. will be considered OUT OF ORDER. and will be laid en the table, perhaps, not to be called up again. We will continue the publication of the acts passed at the last session of the Legis lature, when we receive a copy of them. . The Charleston Courier, in a recent ar tiele. complains that Gen. McDumie in his eulogy on Gen. Hayne, spoke too much, and too strongly in favor of the doctrineof Nullification, as a large tumber of those who had assembled to do honor to the il lustrious deceased, were Union men, and of course, opposed to Nullification. The 'iercury thinks that the orator did not speak too strongly on this subject. We refer our readers to the extract from this paper, which we publish. When the eu logy is published, the public can decide. The present number terminates the con inexion of the subscriber, with the "Edge field Advertiser." Ill healh,under which ihe has labored for some tinte past, is the principle cause which induces him to take this step. lie hates formal leave-iaking, and is not disposed to use many words on parting with his readers. He will not, like some editors. boast of his great devo tion to State Rights,Democracy, his untir ing zeal in their support. and of his un ceasing efforts in the cause of every thing, that is good and noble. It is sufficient to say, that he has endeavored to do his duty towards his readers. le would have been delighted to have given the Advertiser, a more literary cast, had circumstances permitted. But in ihis utilitarian and political age, and in thic, his beloved State. Belles-Lettres are at a discount. The terminitation of the South ern Review, and the Sotuthern Literary Journal, Periodicals which would have beeni the pride and ornament of tay coun try. .bear sad attesmatioun to the truth of this remark. To the amass of readers in this hust ling generation, disguisitions upon cotton bags, or partisan remarks upon the ptretenlsion~s of candidates for the high offi ces of the General,and State Governmets, are of more interest, thant the linest essays by our native writers, or the choicest ex tracts from Europeani authors. Suo well contvined are many of our men of talent, of the truth of this, that they spend their lives in writing andl speaking about mat ters, which only temid to inicrease the mere twealth of the community. W1ho has not smiled ots reading the elab orate essays of some of the ablest writers of the day, uipon the prce of cotton. thec building of Rail Roads, andl other thaing; of the like perishable nature? It is certain, that the intellectual energies of nmatny of our great man have been employed on these matters which are comparatively low, to the exclusion of nohler purstits. This is not the age of poetry or romance. truly! These are the days of dollars andc cents. Men are now, very much like those described by Horace, in his age. At bona pars hominuns decepta cupidine falso, Nil satis est, in quit ; quia tanti quantum habeas sis. But why write a homily? The subscri ber promised to be brief. To his editorial brethren, lie has ever been courieous. H eo has never inidulged in ill-feeling towards those of either party, though lhe has never concealed his political principles. in their maintenance, he has been open, and de cidled. To the State Rights branch of theDemo cratie party, hewould say. Macfe virtuate esto. Go on. Assert your doctrines boldly. They are founded on truth, and must pre vail. -The Advertiser will still he publhi.hed by the Proprietor, Mr. W1m. F. Duriso. There will lie no change in its political principles. The subscriber trusts thai it will receive that support, which the exp'e rience and long connexion of the Proprie tor wvith the press. utnder wvhose control it will be placed, will doubtless deserve. -PiFR R E .. aJIrDm THE NEXT GOVERNUR. We recommend to our readers: a careful perusal of all the articles, on this subject, which appear in to-days paper. Three of them are written, by gentlemen of great ability and dis tiunction, and of decided influence in this sec tion of the State. We hope that our readers will not be deterred by its length, from reading the very able communication, signed "The Nullification Party," since it contains a clear, candid, anad full explanation of the claims of Col. Richardson, to the office of Governor. By particularly recommending this article to the attention of our readers, we do not design instituting a comparison between it and the others. They are all ably tcriulen. And we recommend the one alluded to, simply because it contains a thorough discussion of the subject. We feel convinced that no one, who is open to conviction-who will go for measures and not for men-who will act frotm principle and not from prejudice. can, after a careful perusal of that article, doubt, we will not say the propri ety. but the necessity of the Sub-Treasury party supporting Col. Richardson. The necessity of placing a Sub-Treasury Union man in the Gubernatorial Chai-, and thus uniting, the Sub-Treasury party in our State, and enabling ourselves to sustain that great chaipion of our principles, John C. Calhouti, and through him, the meansres which lie advocates, and of which our State ap proves. is made so manifest in that article, that we deem it unnecessary to say more, than to recommend to our renders, a careful perusal of it. Though we were fully convinced that the opinions, of the people of " Edgefield." and tile - Up Country," were not expressed by those, who assunied to speak for them, we thuught it maore becoming, to let them answer for them selves. T11EY HAVE ANSWERED! And we are gratified to find, that in advocating the claitms of Coil. Richardson, we are but express ing the sentiments, o. (his entire section of the State. Those who could say nothing else, a gainst the nomination of COL. I., by the Mer cury. have accused its honest and able editor ofattempting to force all public opinion. We desired not to render ourselves obnoxious to that charge, and therefore, though, approving of the nomination, we simply expressed our opinion, and declined further discussion. The number and character of the communications, however, which we, io-day publish. relieves us fron all feeling of delicacy on this subect. But, indeed, if h y did not, we would be um willing, longer, to permit mere notions of pro priety, to interfere with the serious discharge of our ditty.

From thec Charleston Mercury. GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW. Several of the leading organs or the Whtig party in New York have recently coime Out st ronigly ini favor of a general flankrupt Lawv to he enaicted by Congress. Other presses of the parry here anud thenre have seconded lihe move, wvihh an- appa rent disptosit ion to aphproplrialte the credit of thme stWgestion to the pat.They aewl come to it. W.e are sorry indeed that they h ave not the enitire- merit of it to rhemselves. It will be remnermbered that the propriety of such a law was sugges~etedl by the Presi detnt in his Mlessag.e to the muemtorable extra sessiot nl of 137. ft was recieved wvihrtearkedl dislike by the Whig party generally, and by their great leader, Mir. Clay, wahrl vehenment inidignaitions. It for meal one of the mtost imtportant links in that chain of dnesperatte msetsures by which lie said the Admniistration~ designed to over throw the baniks,. abolish paper money, destroy caommerce, raise the deuce, and sow the whle coumtry with salt that it might grow no more grass or bull calves forever. We reher to his speech with the etnormioaus big title page-, hrokrng like a Gourd or a roaid stool-a stem with, armost extenisive cap ont the tolp. PTerh'ips Gen. darrison tinks dif'erently, and Mr. Clay being now put ont to grass, it amatters not what lie tnighit when lie was otn the course. But this only by the way. Several journals -with whoma we like to agree whent we catn have mnan: fe-sted thteir hearty cotncurrentce with the propositiotn-atmong others the N. Y. Eveiniig Post and' aur next (loorneighhor, the Sattthiern Patritr. WVe are opposeal to such at law ont State Rights principles; not that it would lie direcrtly an inivasion ofl State Righits-ltr te Caonstir tution itt so ttany wvords coinfers iuon Congress the right to pass a getteral batnkrupt law-bit that it naubal bie ;a mantif st invasiotn oh a province hitherto submnit edl to Stare hegis latioin, anal a danageronts increase of power hitherto exercised by the Federal Goverit Thiere ar- several conmidleratin that shonld h~e well weighed befoure cotming t10 anyv nnelusion on a mere propoated~ title of a law which as yet has ita defmtition. i . The law itself-it mtust dlefine bankruptcy. the ptersotns subject to it-the mieastare of p)unishmen'tt ihr all fraudls connaeeredl with it, &c. 2. The entir-e Admitnisttratiot naof the law must be entrusted to the Federal authorities. Fair the definitioni ofbankrutptcy. it must in the snain he taken from the English law, w'hich is thte bcst rule ever established on the s'ublect. and there cant be no shadow of doubt that among the acts which must be classed iu that definition, as amounting to bankruptcy, will be a deliberate decla - ration of any man or company, of an in teiion not to pay their debts-in short, that a suspension ofcash payment will be set down as an act of bankruptcy.-And ihe conspiracy ofseveral men or companies so to deny payment, will, or ought to be defined, fraudulent bankruptcy. The law must embrace corporations as we! as in dividuals, otherwise it would be a very poor and partial thing' tending rather to increase than mitigate the evils ofthe pre sent conf'usion. It must embrace banks and ierchants, and the administration of it in all its mighty power over commerce and currency mtst he entrusted to the of ficers of the Federal Government. Does any one believe that in periods of great deraugenient in trade, when merchants are falling like autumnal leaves, and banks are taking universal relfuge in dishones ty, the Federal Government would firmly and honestly execute such a law, that they would take into their possession the effects of650 banks aid teii thousand traders, drawing into the great garner of their courts the whole complicated affairs of a nation, and undertake t lie office of distribu ting the vealthi ofi he world anew? But the effect of:his sudden and forced settle nent of the disordered business of a hun dred cities at such a time as the revulsion of 18:37, would, itseems to us he disastrous in the extreme. It would be especially -o as it wnuld involve the entire remodeliig of tl.e currency at the same tlie. But we only wished to pointout the extent of power and of interference with the institutions ;il(n private husiness of the States, which must necessarily lilow from the estab lishnent ora general hankrupt law. The ieasure is urged as a relief to insol vent merchants, pi oviding for the final adjustment of their affairs with every body so that they may lie troubled with past debts no more. Something might perhaps be gained ini this respect, bit the present tmode ofrelinquishiment on the part of cred itors. is in general satisfactory, and in nine cases out orien, frees all honest ner chats from subsequent persecitioi-for the dishonest, it is scarcely worth while to legislatc any more inl 'heir favur. From the St. Atgustine !ferald. THE 1LOOD HOUNDS. Thitnking it quite prohable ilint the newspapeis would soon nainily the blooi hounds broughit from Ctba, into creatures about the size of an eiephant, with teeth like a shark's., and jaws longer thnn an alli21ntor's, I galloped over to -1iagiolia yesterday, anti passed the day with the attiable animals. . So various are these dogs,in color,shaipe, size, anI age. that -it first sight they appear like ain ordinipry ptck barking about a planter's dwelling, but examtintion proves them qiuite another thing. To describe a dog so as to lie onderstood, is difficult. I must therefore convey a general idea by requesting you to imruagine a short-haired, lack, red, yellow, briedlcdor spotted dog, or any color that ever liedecked the spe cies. 21 inches high, and 36 inches long, (or thereabois) viith a head, breast, fore head, and shoulders like a light- made nus tiT, and snout somewhat elotigated, cars erect like a grey-hotind, (mostly cropped where they betid) and loins, croup-hauu ches.and tnil, like a gray-houd,only thick er set. This combitiation, you iay cont c i 'e, produces an aniial of great nerve, strength andt agility, and such to all ap peararce. are these blood hounds. They are thirty-four in number-5 or 6 old dogs, well trained-the remainder are younger-some I should think not a year old; one otf these, a lady blood110-hottnd, wI lked about tlie % illace with toe as fa tmil iatrly aiid lovingly as a spa niel; buit her kindniess was inoperautve upoti the rest or her clani, for sucht a set oif feroicious beasts I tnever before sawv. That modertn Daniel, Van Aiimhurgh, who goes among the lions, would stand no chanice atmong them. Whleni any older tiing approaches one of the tlder dogs, his eyes lasht, lie roars wit h ratge,. t twists like a serpetnt to escape from his chaiin, the keepers have them ult der' subjectiotn, but htave frequenitly to mnaittain quiet order by inflicting heavy blows with a cudgel, whtent the- dog lays dow i with an tiir, which seems to say, "'I will lie civil to taccomooatte you; but d-tn your stick," fur they neither wince or howl. A few dlays sice, as an experiment, a negroavas sent a mile into the wvoods to climbih a trce, and in an. hour tifterwardls, a dleg was pit, upoa the trta--he followedi it directt, hr-ouigh til thre- winlings of the btushes withlouit fan in tg. The1 only ques tion is, will t hey follow the trtiil of an in dian iIf they will, they will lie a great acqluisitioin, to the cunttry, for as to fight ing, I am satiafied they wol grapple with any thing. Thle waynwo or thi ree of ihetmvwould r'attle a dozen I idiants out of a sernbh, er a bay-gnll,. woulhd be tntbody's business. 1 cati only achr rhat I aim very much pleased with the blood-hiomtwda, anid would like no better fuu than taking a htitt wvitir them. Four keepers have comne with themu from Cuba. Thte elder a very respectable sort ot' mant, as I hielieve am rutntiway niegro hiutit er by profession, atid lie has such coaif dence itt his dogs, that lie is ready to hlead their wvay tigainst Indians, whlerever or dered-there is nothinag oIf the llincher in is appearance. Fire.-We tare itnformied by the Post Miaster ait Cowpeos. Spartanhurghu District that the house of Mirs. Elizabieth Lipscomnb wa'ts destroyed by fire otn the evening of lie 25tIihi h., together wvith till thle furnitui e, and abtout $500 ii nmonecy. The fire is sutppiosed to have tueeni accident-ally com. mtunricated to ta lied, which wvas tntr discov ered in timet iio extinguish it.-Grenville Mountaineer Feb. 14.

Printets are mtways amotng the first to dip, into anv alTair where the liberties of their fellow inen are at stake, or the yoke of an opp1ressor nteedls to lie broken. Explo-ring Exrpeditio.-The New York Jourtnal of Cortmmerce states that Mr. B. U. Ctuttler, of Brrnoklyti, htas received a letter from the Exploring Expedition, da ted Matavai Bay, Island of'Otaheiie, Sept. 1st, 1539 ndptn-marked Woods' Hole, Mass. 261b Jan. -1840. It is from Camden lludson,ofthe U. S. ship- Peacock. He speaks of Capt. Wilkes and the officers and crews being on shore. Nothing said of the mission vessel. The expedition, at the date above ientinned, wns on its way to the far south, being lst froim Callao and (we-presutne) the Sandwich Islands. From the tenor of the letter it is. itiferred that tho health of the squadron was good. The Rerenue-the Tariff Silk.-It was stated recently, by Mr. Buchianan,ofPenn., in presenting to ihe Senate a petition fhr duty on imported silk, as a matter beyond doubt, "that before the close of the present session of Congress, we should be com pelled to raise additional revenue to meet the necessary expentitures ofGoverment;" and lie added, that upon no one article of imports, could a duty be laid, with more propriety, than upon silk, which is now free. It is manifest from this indication anti olhers, that the Tariff' question will, anti mist lie broached before the adjournment of Congres, for io one duty can he touched without bringing into discussion, the whole question, Compromise act and all.-Alex Gazette. The debts (e to a newspaper establish ment, in general, ttiough large in the ag gregate, are often found inadegnate to balance the debts payable front it. One class is compo'ed of innumerable small deniands, scattered over the whole coun try-the otherof a few large ones, which may generally be foun! lodged in a bank for collection. If any set of men have reason to say "Perish Credit"' the propri etors of newspapers may he justly entitled to the privilege.-Boston Courier.

These Mills have also annually furnished large bills ofiunber fir tie Chareston Rail Road, which passes within 150 or 2100 yards of the Mills. - There are 150 acres smider cultivation. and 2000 more suitable for cultivation. There is otn the place. one good well finished dwelling, pleasantly situated, together with Kitchens, Smoke louse, Store Houses, Stables, Black, stnith, Wheelwrights. and other shops. Also, 12 or 15 other small dwellings, in the viciiity of the Mills, suitable for small families, and here, at no very distant day, (with the perois sion uF the proprietor) will be erected numerous summer seats, where tie busy inerchant of the city may retire. after tie labors of the day, in twenty-hive talinutes. to a pure attnosphere, free from the fatal umiasma Inusqtuelocs and dust, and refresh himselfaniong the niumerons springs of' as puro water as ca bo found in tie United States. Nor is there aiy placein the Southern country better calcuhited fur an extensive mann factoring establishment, there being no want of' watern and for helhh unrivrlled. Their is tineh Pine Timber in the vicinitv adjoining this tract. which must be sawed at these Mills. We will now suppose that the four saws cut but 1,200,000 feet-aainunlly, anI after deducting all expenses, you have hut four dollars per thousand. You will then have $4,800 per annum, or the sum of $48,000 in tei years. Yon mny also employ one lenin and three hands, Which will deliver in twelvo nionths. fifteen hundred cords of lightwood on the Rail Road, for which they pay $2 121 per cord; which will make 3:U87,-5900 out, for team and hands, leaves $2287,-or, with the same hands and team, deliver on the bank of the Savannah River. twelve imudred cords of lightwoml, for which the Steamboat Company pay $3 03 per cord-which will make $3,600, $900 out, leaves $2.700-or, in ten years, $27, 000. You may also emplov three more teams, and five hands, which will deliver in lamburg, or Angusta, (as the Bridges are now free, both for NWood and Lumber.) one thousand cords of hard wood, which brings from S3 50 to $6 00 per cord, say $400. You will then have $4000. Haitis and team, say $i.00-it will leave you $2500 per ainunt or $25,000 in ten years. Thus, you see, that in ton years. sccording to the above calculations, (which no experienced man will say are large,) you will take from thie land, one anndred thousand dollars, and still have yonr laud andi mills left. It is estimated by good judges, acquainted with the land. that it will average, at least, four cords of litzht wood, and four ol hard wood, per acre. And those best acqnated with the rapid growth of hnrl wood, and the production oflieht wood, from Ole bodies of falen Pines, will'rendily perceivetlhat the above natmed teams could never divest the land of wood. And while it continues fashionable. to have good fires in cold weather, and fir Steamboats and Loconotives to birn wood, so long this land utist remain valuable. The Rail Hoad Cotm patny, by purchasing this place, may supply this end of their road with sawed luinmer Rang ing timbers al lightwood anad ihereby save their thonsands annuallv. And let them and other Capitalists, refleci, that five thousand a cres oflanil in a body, with a Rail Road passing through it, on which, is one of the finest 1ill streams in the United States, with a sn perb (laim ail mills, all ini order, within a few mile's of onie of the best Lutmber and Wootd tmarkets in the Soitth, is not to be found every year at Sheritih' Sale. To My Creditor.. Gentlemen, my proprctv is all itt the hand.s of the Shaeriff. It is misfortunie, heavy losses, unaparalleled hard ties, and your Iompatiences,, that has phaced it there. Shoild ia bring one half its itrinisic worth. yon will all be safe. .if it dloes not, it is my all. Dam thme best you can: with it. Expect nto more from tie. WILEY MILTON.
