EDGEFIELD C. H. THuRSDAY. JAvARY 7, 184i. Subscribers hereafter, will call for the papers at the building iamediately in t rear of E. B. PRESLur's B Birk Store. We are indebted to the Hon. F. X Pickens for a copy of a publication, eni tied "A brief review of some of the poini of the Spanish Brig L'Amstad, and th principles involved." Cold as a coy damsel on her first intro ductioti to the mans she is destined r marry, commenced the "New Year. Since ourlast, which was published on th last day of last year, a material chang has occurred its the weather, and for thi past few days, it has been alogether tot cold for comfort. On upland, hill, an' valley, the dry bones of the deceased yea are found. Nature sits trembling on ie throne like a bereaved mother, and hei desolate moan is heard among the naket branches of the forest. Desolation stalk abroad, and the stern Monarch waves hi icy sceptre over our pleasant places. Since writing the above, another changc occurred, from a clear, cold air, to a warm and consequently, a disagreeable atmos phere. A fire broke out on the Plantation of Mr Thos. B. Harvey, in this District, on th< 4th inst., which cousuned most of the ou hobses attached to the Dwelling Hiouse including some negro houses, It was vii great exertion that some of the small ne groes %were saved from the devourering ele ment. The amountof Mr. 11. Loss we hav< not ascertained. We have been informed, that a li faced Horse, having been rode, until com pletelyxhausted, which has sitice lied was left at the Plantation of Mr. E. J. Mil ler, about 8 miles below this Village. or Tuesday the 39th uIt. Where he caue from who came on him, or where his ungratefu and cruel rider went, is unknown to our in formant. ;.The Unlied States Deputy Marshal Ft Edgefield District, has politely handed ut the following : CEsUs OF EDGEFIELD DtsTRICT, 18d0, White Male ihabitants, 7,559 White Eemale 7.458 Total, 15,011 Free Colored Males, 155 Females, 133 20:3 Slaves Males, S.721 Females, 8,802 17,542 Total 32,85' The su'. ined account is remaukable, but it is true. A man and womnan wecre born int Edgefield District, and now reside in it, who are the parents olf t wenty-three living 'children. The father is about 47 yend of age, and the wife abot 37. Col. G. F. Towntes, whlo has for somet time past, had te editorial chanrge of thet Greenville Mountaineer, has withdrawn, and is succeeded by 0. Hi. Wells, Esq., who has beett connected wvith that paper as Proprietor, for some years. Colonel Townes lias pubhlished, in the Mountaineci of the first instant, a neat and elaborate address to its patrons, in which he express es his acknowlerigmtents, for the npproba tion and encouragement lie has tmet with, since .bis conntection with the paper, aum concludes, by recommending his successor Mr. Wells. as one whose outiring exer tions will, he doubts not, render the Mouni taineer a useful vehicle of informnation. W. T. Thomapson, well known as tI, able and talented editor of the Atugust; (Ga.) Mirror, has closed htis connexioi with t hat paper, in consequtence of an aic c~umulation 01pon his hooks of too large number of non-paying subscribers, to ad mit of his continuing the publication of hi valued Journal, We regret that such is our painful dut to again record another instance of the it gratitude existing in a list of delinquer subscribers. Mer. Thompson commenced the pubi cation of the Mirror, tunder circumnstatce not the most favorable, but which woul have resulted in the establishment o~fonin4 the most celebrated Literary Joutrnals in il Southern States, if he had met with tht punctuality from his stubscribers, whic his untiring efforts to establish, anid at vance a medium of domestic literature, ht so richly dleserved. There will be a brief suspension of tl publication of the Mirror, hut he assur those who have paid him in. advance I his paper, that they shall lose niothing, its publication will again be resumed, son as possible. In addressing those whose original eo teihutions have graced the columns of Mirror, he says " We scarce ktnow how to express o gratitude to. our kind correspondents-c colaborers in the worthy cause which so reltetantly abandon. Ifin parting fron the Mirror, we feel as if-we had sustained the loss of a near and dear relative, so the dissolving our connection with those conge nial spirits who have so generously lent us their aid, is like hidding adue to friends to whom we owe a debt of gratitude which we may not repay. But we have a word of encouraernent for them. We have r reason to believe the Mirror will fal into e abler hands. who will render it still more worthy their continuance and support, than with our limited means and poor abilities we have been able to render it." Politial Reformer.-We have received s the 1st No. of the Political Reformer, pub e lished at Portsmouth, Va., by Theophilus Fisk. It is a near, well printed paper, in pamphlet form, of 16 pages, at the low price - of 50 cents. We will publish the Pros pectus in our next. A specimen No. can be seei at our office. We hope our Dem ocratic friends will give it a helping hand. It is published on the Cash System. We have this day seen, (says the Sails bury, N. C. Watchman,) a machine for planting Cotton, which we think deserves a notice. It was invented in Yanceville, N. C., by two young men of the niame of Miner and Phelps. who are Carriage ma kers. by trade, and for which they have obtained a patent right. The merits of the machine, consists in its opening the furrow, sowing the seed, and covering it, which we are intlrmried, and believe, it dues with nore regularity, than can possi bly be done in the usual way, all in the same time, and with as much ease as plouhing a furrow. It is so constructed as to be used for planting Corn also, either in checks or drills. We are more pleased in seeing improve. ments in the planting and agrnicutural world, than any other department of bit siness; and we would rejoice to see the qualities of the above invetion fully test ed bv our Planters. That it is an im. provement in planting, and labor-saving, there can be no doubt; and we feelegually certain it will be taken into use, by all who are not resolved to plod iii the heaten tracks of their ancestors alone ; or, in oth er words, content " to do as our fathers done." . The Legislature of Georgia' adjourned on the 22utid uIt. havin. passed 180 Acts. Census.-The Census of the District of Columbia, just completed, shows a pornt lation of 43,712, being an increase 1830, of 3,878.

Iand remarks, nade by these brethren, in re rerence to tie nmhers atid inflience of the abolitionists of our denominationi in tie northern states, shew that they are small and reeble : that the great body. of our brethren at the north, brethren of standing and influence, have to smvnpathies with the ibolitionisLt, and that they have no desire to interfere, in the smallest degree. with the institutions of the South; and that they will be ready to give an x~pression of their disapprobation of the pro cerdingis of their abolition brethien at the north,, at the next meeting of the Triannial Mis sionary Convention in Baltimore.
