* mucht ensec. seuJ of afdec ?csma. aItis but seldom, that we h Ire ever taken notica of th- nechanicat skidl of any of our neighbors. In the 'pres.nt in.stance, we think it but ji.atice to speak ofa highly finislhid little Carri:age or Unggy, m-de expressly, to order, for a gentle in-m in this neighaborhood, by 31r. A. B3:shntil, well kn:wa as a Carri-ige Maker in our town. The Baggy was made for the son of the gen tle:nan abaveimntioned, and is certainly the mos)3t beautiful and perfect thing of. the kind which we have ever see:i. Desides the excel lidt workn-inashlpI it is hand.ameily painted, and has attached to it very pretty miniature harness. suitable for a small poncy. Could we return to the happy days of childhood, nothing would give us greater pleasure then to take a ride in a pretty little Carriage like this, drawn by a pretty little poney, with a pretty little girl by our side. As it is, we must cnntent ours.lves with riding in an old wagon, with an old broken ddwna horse, an.1 tattered harness. Whan we become rich, w'e will ride in one of friend Bushinell's best carriages. Southern Quarterly Revietofor October.-We have not had time nuntil now, to notice the number of the Southern Q-:arterly Review, for October. It contains eight articles in all. The greater number of these articles are excel lent, and sustain the high character of the Re-' view for scholarship. We will not attempt to give an extended notice of the various articles in the number before us. The first article is upon the "Quadrupe-ls of North America." This is a review of a work by the celebrated Audubon, and the Rev. John Bachman, the latter gentleman well known as a distinguished Naturalist, of Charleston. The second is upon the "Mutual Influence of National Literature." The third is entitled, "Mexico-Her People and Revo-lutions." An article abounding in information, and particularly interesting at the present time. The fourth is entitled the "Lives of the Lord Chancellors." The fifth is entitled the "Territorial Government of the United States." This article is excellent, and affords matter for the most careful consideration to the politieian and lo-er of his country. The sizih is upon "Dr. Chalners." The seventh is endtited "Lieber's Political Eithics." A good notice of an excellent book. The eighth is en titled "Critical Notices." We have given this chapter of the contents of the Southern Qnar. terly, and will leave our readers to judge fir themselves of the character of the articles. The Review has now completed its 24th numo bee, and 12th volutne. We wish it a long con tinlance of prosperity, and of increased patron *age. For the Advertiser. THE RAIL ROAD. Mr. Editor:-By your permission, I will say a word through your columns, to th-e people of Edgefie!d on the subject of their Rail Road, or rather the contemplat ad Aiken and Anderson Rail Road. if such a Road be seriously in contemplation. Do the people of Edgefield mean to extend the South Carolina, or Hamburg Rail Road fron Aiken to Edgefield C. House. and'there stop it? or, do they mean to carry it, or assist in carrying it, through Albbeville and Auderson, and iacross the mountains? If the former, I am not sur Isd'at their present inactivity on this (t'; . itdt -[f' the'Iatrei, they are pursu j cours; w'' tb6ie'is not-iuch ha tzardin saying, will prove fatal to their in .- ention.- Fr. if the much talked of Road .from-Columbia to Greenville, be built, through Laurens the most sanguine believ er in the benefis of Rail Roads, will hard .jy tbink it probable that the South Caro lina Road will ever be extenced from Aiken via Edgefield ad Abbeville, to Anderson, and the mountains; because two roads running parallel to each, at that distance. cannot supp~ort themselves, and, at the same time, yield a sumicin profit upon -the capital invested; and, therefore, capi talisas will not venture their money upon any such a project. Edgefield, therefore, if she be in earnest in wishing flhe Charles ton~oad to ertend bnyond her own village, has but ahew days to show herearnestness in; anad the onaly way in which she can show it, is by taking stock to that efect that the amount subscribed lay her. may be knowo. and its influence felt, in the meeting of the Greenville end Columbia Rail Road stockholders, at Newberry, C. H-., on the 19th inst. Tbat the route from Aiken throtagh Edgefield and Abbeville, and dlirect on to - the mountains, is the true one, by which to connect the seabonard with the moutn mains, no one,. who rightly considers the cost andl advantages of a Rail-way, will, for a moment, doubt. It is the nearest route, and consequently, the cheapest ; nor is it the cheapest, because it is the nearest, it will cost mauch less money than the Co Itumbia route,-mile for tmie.-lt nat only has fewer rivers to cross, but thec ground it passes over, is by far more suit able in eve ry other respect. It would ru n, for almost the enairo way, upon the Ridge that divide the wvaters of the Saluda and Savannah rivers- Can any one, then, give the rea son. why the rail-way that is to conneet the seabord with the imountaitns, shall stalt from Columbia ? or, starting from Charles ton, shall go by Columbia-whaich is ntau the tnatural route-whicha is by far the more expensiveroute-and which is likely to be attenided with less advan-tages to the State, in other respects besides ? The only reasotn that can l-e given, it seems to mae, is, that they have been a little smarter on the eastern, than we have been on the western aide of Saluda, in applying for, .gnd securing, their charmer. But the evil is niot remediless. Thae Road of ihat Char ter, is not yet located ; and it is to be locat ed by the stockholders, and, as fortune will haeve it, tnt a few of those stockholders will no up fronm the wrest of Staluda. F Querap'-Can''t a sufficient amount of etock be cridup to the meeting of tho .Stockhjolders, to control the location of that 'road, or, if the chtarter be in the way, to suspend its location, umatil the meeting of the Legislature. when it can be amaended -so as to fix the lower terminus where it ought to be ? WVhy not ? But the only way in which this can he0 done, however, is by Edgefield making a very large demonstra tion, in the said meetima of the st.ockhold eror. A word to the wise, is sulTicient; anad itis said, that "a stitch in t ime, saves ,ine."' in this instance, this saitcht would .taye qior than we could count. 11A RT LABOR. For the Advcrtier. Ma, EDIToa:-On Satordaiy last, there tras a Barb.tcue given by the hospitable citizens o'lihat region of our District known as "Shatterliald." Being commemnnora tive of no State or National event, it wouald seem, that the good citizens of the ncigh borhood, got it up under ono of the best impulses of the human heart, that of pure sociability, unaillyed by any partizanism. There was a fine corps of Light lufantry on the ground, attended by a Band of Music, fro:n Old Saldtta ; both of which dil credit to their respective duties, and of which Old Edgefeld should be justly ptou(. After tlt Company had exercised in the drill for a short time, it was marched up to the house (a Mr. Langley's) and by a flank mnovemeat entered the yard and moved up to the piazza; the ranks were then opened, through which Mr. George M. Blocker, the Orator.of the day, attend ed by the Captain, and several other gen. tiemetn, approached the piazza,frotn which he spoke at considerable length, upon the Mexican war, and the Wilmot Proviso, in a strain of reasoning and eloquence, rarely attained by men of his age, and which, with reason, is looked upon as ominous or future usefelness to the community in which he lives. After the conclusion of the oration, the table, prepared in true re publican spirit, was filled with the fair of the neighborhood, whose happy smiles and beningu influence shed a halo of happiness thdt is rarely experienced upon such occa sions, for although there was plenty of the sparkling juice, hilarity and good feeling seemed to pervade every breast.

Gladden, although much more se verely wounded than was at first supposed, is now fast recovering. He was wounded by a ball passing through the thigh, be tween the bone and artery, abott half way between the hip and knee on the inside. He at first regardod itas trifling, and con tinued on duty for two hours after, until dark; but soon found, when dismounted, his boot filled with blood, and something more of the serious nature of the wound. It is supposed that he will soon be able to report for duty. It is again made our painful dtty to report the deaths .f some othets of our devoted Regimet, from wounds and dis ease.

O ite 27th Septem'er last, te Hon. D. Wilmot delivered a speech in Wellsbo rn, PaAiin-the course or which lie defined the Proviso thus : - What -is the ' Proviso ?' What is its c(Tect and object ? Although plain in its language, and clear in its design, this in quiry becomes necessary, from the covert miantnerin which it is constantly assailed. The whple southern press and government organsof the north, represent it, as some thing th4 affects or intereres with slavery in the.States where slavery exists. Even great mop, when writing or speaking upon the subjct, persist in talking about the ABOLITION of slavery. and the rights or the States; as if the Proviso proposed the one;!or in any respect interlered with the othe,. It does not propose, either to abolish,jgrestrict, or in any mainner to in terfero 4th slavery, in any of the Staies. or this,? ion. lis 3ole object is, to secure from thewnluwful aggressions of slavery that teri'dory which is now free." Mr. Wilmot complains of the mannor in which: "Proviso is assailed-he sees the mote b annot see the beam. What does he mes yte "unlawful aggressions of slavery is there anything 1 unlawful" in the i tution of slavery under the go vernme yof the United States 1 On the contraryiis it not recagnized and protected by the pstitution? Is there any thing in the fund4inental law, by which Pennsyl. vania an South Carolina are both govern ed, which says, that this domestic insiitu tion shaI not be introduced ito new tor ritory of tle Union. To assume that there is aay thjng unlawful in slavery under our governtent as it now exists, is not only to beg the question, but to pervert and falsify the law kud the fact. But Mk. Wilmot cannot see that the Proviso in any way interferes with the rightso e States. The Constitution en tiles the *tis of each State to all the privileg immunitict of citizens in the seve ies. if the citizen of Penn sylvania .may migrata and setile in nev territory ith his property and institutions, is it in. e spirit of according to the let ter oftb.consttotional oquahity to with hold thoisame privilege and immunity from a cilizen of South Carolina? Are there to, two clases of American citizen. ship broad and odious line of dis tinction tween them? If this were mere tnatter o sentiment, it would be a gross outrage. ' on the feelings of the people of the Sout . but it is a matter of principle. of dutygaadof right. With the iistitution of doinegy'c. slavery, not only the.interest, but the-1ery existence of our people is identifiei. Every blow struck at it is a blow at. vital part of their organization. Propert ce, life-all are bound up in its secur rm the aggression of others. Well M -people of the South say to Mr Wil of* 1n the words of the great poet. "You taie'mg house when you do tike the . prop, :1 That dot snport my house ; you take my life Whenryott d&Iake the means whereby I live!" Mise 'aWi Destitution in Philadelphia. -The coird popuaition of Philadelphia -fugiivelines aid misguided followers of aboliti.isle-nre-in a =tcrrible condition. The Board of Health on Friday, made a visit to ihat section of the city which they inhabit, and 'be Philadelphia Sun says: Theli vistis of the oflicials have furntished them a sullicientl'asis on which to operate. anti somie astoundling disclosures may he0 expected in a few datys. ii is said that some of the scenes of wretchedness were shocking to contetmplate, partictularly atmong thme, colored popuilation. rTe inntes were fhund to lie lnaring under somne malignanit spotted fever,which;, if nomt checked, would be calculated to spread to a culainitous extetnt auimng the degraded beings whlo are crowded into the wretched hovels in that street.

We were informed that, within the last two or three wveeks r~he spread of the coin tagion lies been of the most alarming char acter among the wretched floating popula tion wvho nightly frequented t heir haunts in the street, and whose vicious habit predlis posed them to disease. Numbers oil them have already died from neglect and exp)o sure.-The atmosphere of somne of the rooms is represented to be so foul as to be destructive of animal life. It is with much satisfaction that we can state that the Board (if Health are deter mited lo remove the causes of the fever without delay, antd with that view yester day convened.
