"4 h-ve only time to add, with regard to the crops in this vicinity, that they have perhaps never.been surpassed The crops of Wheat and Rye. which are now being harvested, are laYge, and knely matured.

OnThursday 11th June. we attended an ex amination of the Students of the Edgefiel Diale Academy. This Institution is under the direction of Mr. 1H. K. MCCLsTocK. a gentleman of great ex periense as a Teacher, and one who is well known and appreciated in this community both as a citizen and a scholar. The young men were examined in the va rious branches which are commonly taught in our Academies, and did no discredit to their instructor. As the classes were numerous, and as they -all gave high evidence of merit, and a-proper -attention to their studies, we feel unwilling to distinguish any parttcular one of them, either with praise or censure. We believe that the parents and friends of the boys, were all grati. ;ied and pleased at their examinatior. We take pleasure in expressing our com plete gratification, and in earnestly recommend ing the Edgefield Male Academy to the patron age of the surrounding country. The young men about the Village, accord ing to the notice they gave in our last number, had an exhibition on Friday night, the 10th instant, at which they played " Miss in her Teent." and "Fortune's Frolic" with great applause. We were agreeably surprised, and highly entertained by their performance. We' expected something from them, but they did exceedingly well. If they had a little more prac. tice, they could amuse almost any audience. We sincerely wish their efforts much suc cess, for they may be of great service to therd. Stage acting will not -only taach them to ac quite grace in their movements, but it will give them confidence in themselves, and in' duce them to cultivate taste for the poets, and learn to appreciate a:nd fully understand the most elegant cotiposition ofecery sort SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. This body is now in session. at the city o! Richiond. Virginia. and its proceedings will unquestionably be of great interest'to ali, and especially to the Baptist denomination of this country. It was organized by the nppointnent of Rev. Wi. B. Joussos, of this. State, Presi dent, and JAuEs,C. CRAnE df.Riclhmond, Va., andJEssE :ARwEr.. of-Aldbara, Secreta'ries. In our next number, we will endeavor to give our readers those parts of its proceedings we may consider of most importance; but we" must now say to our Bptist friends. as we said to our friends o' tho Meihecdiat denomination, that we cannot pretend to give theta all that their preachers and delegates may do in their Contention. It would reqmire a mainmoth sheet to do thii-it would probably occupy our small paper fir weeks, to the exclusion of all other matter. We are dispnsed to be obliging though, and we will carefully select every thing that mnay be of most interest, and we will most cheer fully publish as nuiteh of it. as we cat , in jus tice to our patrons generally.

The whole ei this last Company, amounting to ninety men, was raised itn a few minutes, from the first battalion, of first reigiment, of first brigade, of the first division, of South Car oliiia Militia, commanded by Lient. Col, BUT LER, and Cuffled the Saluda Battalion. We think it deserves'to be the first battalion in th e State, not only in its military division, but for the gallantry and spirit of its men and comman der. Its parallel cannot be found in South Carolina. LIt will thus be seen thatfour more companies than can be accepted, have offered their servi ces to the commander in chief. Eight compa nies have already been accepted by the Itispec tor General, and only two more will be requir ed from those which have applied since the ac ceptance of the eight, and from the many oth ers that are now* being organized all through the State, South Carola has therefore, more The Alabama Regiment has been illed out, and mustered into the service of tne United States. Captain J. J. SEILEs, a native of this State was elected its Colonel. We confess that this affords us heartfelt satisfaction. We wish we could say, that wherever there is a South Carolinian, there is a servant of his country. BRITISH INTERFERENCE, We certainly can have given neither En gland nor France. nor any other Euiopean na tion, any just grounds of interference in our conflict with Mexico; and it is by no means probable, that whilst there is a very delicate ,natter for negotiation and settlement, pending lietween this country and Great Britain, that -tie will have the utter stupidity to encouhage he Mexicans in their hostilities against us, un :.:ss she is really determined to provoke it war. right or wrong. Sihe is far too wise, and our commerce with her people, and our peacetul relations with her government, are too 'vitally .mportant to her piosperity, to be forfeited for t trivial cause, in which nither her interest nor oer honor is involved. The BFitish nation is well aware, that in, a contest with our people, the probabilities are ten to one, that in the main, she would be the greater sufferer . Not withstanding all her ships, and all her vast pre. parations, and the great size and efficiency of her regular army. she roust be convinced that a war with us, at this time, would be the great. est calamity that could befall her. She knows, that in such a contest, we would he united to a man; and she is by no means ignorant of the fact, that Iieland is disaffected to her govern ment, and that Canada i also disaffected. It is hardly possible then, that we shall be con pelled to face the British lion at this juncture, unless something has occurred, or shall occur, in the settlement of the Oregon controversy, to prejudice the interests, or wound the honor of that nation. The last intelligence from En gland, according to every uile of fair interpre. tation, was decidedly pacific: It is hard though. to say positively, what may take place, for Mr. Polk and his Cabinet, are driquivocally warlike on every. question. If we were to attempt to reduce any part of Mexico to subjection, br in other words, to forcibly annex it to the United Stiates. then En gland and France might feel justified accord ing to the law of nations, in resisting- such a proveedure with-ars. But we piesume that our government never entertained such an idea for a moment. Itclaims to be fighting for the honor of the coumry. and f.r the re dress of its wrongs-not for congtest nor pluin der. The first mention we saw of the annex stion of Mexicd. and the rinnexatioi of Yuca tan, and the annexatior.fz California, as well as we remember, was made by some newspa pers which were exceedingly inimical to the President, and we really supposed it was so malicious, not to say stupid, as neither to de se!ve'the consideration, nor to attrqctthe par tiulai attention of any se:aible me w.:--B.ut it appears that candid men, and no doubt patriots. are now beginning to turn their eyes towards. California. and to dream of its concne4t, its beautiful fields. and its eternal spring,with sntne thing like earnestness-with something of ra p ture. In the s:tlenemt of our present diflic'ml ties with Mexico, we maiy rightftlly ar hire; possession of Cahfornia-it may be given to us inm lieu of the vast debt that will be owing to us; but even then, we would donht the policy of our receiving it We believe that it will ultimuitely bie urs, hut for ourselves, ?e must confess, that we do not greatly desire to seze it became a niember oft this eonfederaicy.. We wish that the "area of fieedomn may be widened," and that.thc benefits of our instiin tions maiy be extended to every people on the face of the earth ; but we do not wish to re ceive nll nations into our Union, for w e have quite as touch .territory no0w, and quite as manuy little republies as we can take care of. It is evident, that it is moore difenilt to main tain the integrity of the Unmion' of many States, than of a fe w; aiid the contrary notiorn so often advanced in this country, is perfectly abaturd. It is surely good t~atured and generonts to open our arims to. all who desire, adm ssionu into our confet racy; but then, it isdanigerous to adopt such a ccuirse-it iy fraught wyithi utter ru .to otir prosp~e'i.; of perpetnauting the bonds of onr Union. .It could beurged with just as mutch plausibility and force, that eight or ten men of different .habits,.and temper aments could get alongas harmnonimtonsly togeth er as four or five. ;neni, as that twenty States of differgant interests and different putrsuits, co-uld get along as prosperously and happily together as fifteen or twetnty. California may have a zdelightful and salu brious climate-it may be fanned by spicy breezes-it ay be a paradise on earth, but as long as we thought it might endanger the .sta. bility of our Union, it would have no charms for us. The greutest meni are not reared in the softest and mtostgentle climes. We copy the following from the Washing ton correspondence of the Temperance Advo cate.

War seems to be raging more fiercely at this time,hetween the President and his Major Gen erals. thon between Taylor and the Mexicans. Gen. Scott has been " relieved from the com mand of the army,destined to prosecute the war against Mexico," and Gen. Gaines has also been "relieved from the command of the Wes tern Division of the army," and required to appear at the city of Washington. We have them before us, and we have care' frlly examined, the President's message,- and all the correspondence that has come out be tween the Secretary of War, and the refractory Generals-and we can see, as yet,; nothing to censure in the conduct of.Mr. Polk. and particu larly, in the case of General Scott. Generat Seout had lieen verbally in.formned, both by the President and.Secretary of War, to hold himself in readiness to take command ofrthe army which was to invade Mexico,.:end s nxiety.was expressed that he should commence operations as soon as possible.-Perhaps im. patience.was manifested, that he did not imme diately commence his route to the seat of war. Such being the state of things, Gen. Scott wrote a letter to Secretary Marcy, in which he enumerates his various occupations, the difi aulty of making all thns necessary preparations for a vigorous campaign before the Istof Sep. temuber, and his utter.aversion to having an eneniy in front aid-tetriof him. The follow. ig is his language : "In the midst of these multitudious and indispensible occupotions I have learned from you that much impatience is already felt, perhaps in high quarters, that I have not already put myself in route for the Rio Grande. Not an advantageous step can be taken in a rorward match Wjthout the confidence that all is well behind. If insecure in that quarter, no general can pot his whole heart and mind into the work to be dune is front. I am, therettite not a little alarmed, nay c'rippled in my euier. gics. by the know ledge of the impatience in Irestion, and I beg to say I fear no other dan ger." After makng.some other remarks. with re eard tQ his intentions and "preliminary ar ranagedieuts," .he conies out- more plainly, and says :"My explicit neaniiag is,.that I do not desire to.place myself in. the moost perilous of all positi'nss-a fire upon my. rear from Wash ington, and the fire in front from the Mexicans." Under these circumstances. the Secretary of War, b.y the instrue:ion of tint President, very properly wrote to him that he was no longer expected to go to Mexico. Ge n. Scott-s reply to the Secretary is dated "from a hasty plate of Sonp.;' He commences his letter exactly in this manner: "Head Quarters of the Army, - Washngton, May 26, 1816.

SThe Ne w Orleans Picayune contains -n article purporting an be-hased-on reliable inforation, in reference to Borne of the futurearmovements of General Taylor. It maiy be proper .to remark -that many of t he lea ters receivedl at New Orleans, from Ma tamorcis, dgelare it as the belief of their re spective ,artihors, thit Geh.' Taylor, -will make no further urhovements, until advised by the General Government. As howev er the infrmation commiaunicated to the Picayune may be correct, we subjoin the suabstanCe of ii. It rurderstands that "the next demonstration of Gen. Taylur will be upotn the- city of Monterey. Tfhis place is abottt 90 leagues fros Matamnorosrasnd is ap~proached'by a difficult road runaning through nan arid anod ill-walered- couir - It is the priccipal ciry- of thre province of New Leon, and comamanda the entrance of the rable lands, or the interior of Mexi co, through thne passes of the Sierra Ma d~re. To make the operations of the army upon Monterey more secure, if not abso lutely certain, Gen. Taylor designs occu pying the town of Camarg~o, about 2.50 wiles, by Water, above Metamoros. To do this securely., it is necessary for him to have transports of a draft suitable to the navigation of the Rio Grande. 2 WVitha a view of expediting the march of the army, Capt. Sanders, who has distin guished himself itn the admrirable defences be has constructed about Point Isabel, haa been despatched to this city to procure ture naecessary transports. Gen. Taylor designs now to be at Mon terey, as soron in July as possible. At that place, it is believed, the Mexicans will make a stubborn stand if at all during the war. If the troops under Gen. Taylor occupy Monterey..the whole of Mexico this side the Sierra Madre wilI.be in possession ofthle Ulnited.S'tntes,includIug the mining districts of New Leon, New Mexico, San ta Fe, Chihuahua, &c. &c."

Foreia Interference.-The opinion seems to be gaining ground in this country that the British government will not suf fer our quarrel with Mexico to entangle its relations wit) topUdited States. It is remarkable how.itbdued and chastened to sobriety of thought b'as the American press become on' 'esubject of European .jggerfesen" s at. We had the ext. agad c'h'its--put forth, that Englandeud Francs wes 4bbut to combine to place a prince of the Euro. pean Spanish race on the Mexican throne. 2. That England.ffbd been foInenting in Mexico a-war feeling :againr tifoUnited :iates, and promising assistance in funds to Puredes;'tu case of & conflict. Now it turns ottt.if the Lnndon 'limes is to he credited. that Eigland 'disclaims the poli cy of forcing on Mexico a king, when Mexico .prefers a presidenmt while so far from the English -government promising financial aidto Paredeq, his agenrs iu' Lon don have failed to raise a loan from indi vidpilcaitalists.' ..., ,. . So it will turn out as regarilv British in terference in our confliet with Mexico. The dismemnbermient of the Mexican ter ritory the sagacious statesman of England perceive to be -idevit able. The -annexa tion of otne or more of the States oif Mexi co in' thP Lltdited States, they must see. to be.eq'nally unavoitdable, if wiuh..the..volu i ary wvish and coisent ofjmheir inhabitants. Oc what principle of.raiaonalliniterference could the eeopie pf .California be compel led to donttnue-an integral portion of the Mexican Republic? This is evidently a question not for thme British or American government. We could not annex, even by conqu~est, contrary to the exjiressed opininnu'df: a tiinfojrity of tle peopje~ of Carifolnia, or ,any other ofathe Smates of Minexico. The British eould not prevent annexation, if such'is the well ascertained desire of the Californians, maintained a gainsi the adverse powers and pretensions of the Mexicaan government. This is -pre ming that tlie'solution of this questin is to be left to voluntary acquiee'ence, and not to be de~termined by force of arrhs... Under such circumstaboes the U.- States could only proceed to bold such portions of the Mexican territory as they -niay con quer, as'obettritf for the' paymen.t uf t heir r-easonable pecuniary claims.
