Hungary -The news from the seat of War in Hungary is most disastrous to the llungarians-nho are reported to have been defeated a; gl points. The details relating to this unfortunate result have not been fully ascertained. It is reported, however, that the Hungarians have been forced to lay down their arms uncondition. ally to the Russian forces. The Vienna correspondence of the London Thnes da ted August 16th, con'ains an oflicial report from Cul. Dirsuer giving particulars of they transactismns of Transylvania, since the 4th of August. After Bem's defeat on the 31st at Schar hourg. ie proceeded towards Midgyer, which be reached on the 3d August, with only eight thousand men and seventeen gnu,. He was joined here by a cnrps from Clarenberg, of four thous;ard foot and twelve hundred horse-then proceeded to, waids Hernanstadt, and after n murderous battle in the streets, in which many were killed and wounde, was obliged.to retreat. Subsequently he was routed wsith great less by Gen. Luders. These reverses produced a gr'eat effect on the insurgents, many of whom threw down their armts, and sought refuge in the woods, while others went over to the con querors. The accounts from Vienna vi". Waisaw. stale that the Hungarian Diet having sur rendered its power to Georgey, dissolved itself. A meeting afterwarJ took place be tween Georgey. Bern aind Koesuth, near Frond, when it was detet mined to put an end to the War as sanguinary and useless. Georgey, addressing the Council, said he,bad no hopes for the cause of hlungary -that-nothing but utter ruin would attend the prolongation of the struggle. 'The War party, headed by. Bern, Kos suth, and leading members of Ptitliament. have removed from Hastrin to Orsova. It is said they have already entered upon Turkish territory. Georgey surtettdered himself to Prince Paskiewitch, on condlit ion he would inter cede with Ausatria for himself, his troops, ad his country. The tnumber of troops said to have sttr rendered with Geurgey was 27,000, and 60 field pieces. Letters fronm Vienna to the 17th state that Kossuth intends holding out to thte last, and htas issued a Proclamation trans ferring the seat of his government to Orso va, where hte is now protected by the tlunt garian Army. Prince Paskiewitch has sent to the Czar a lette~r (published in thte Russian paper) saying, "Hungary is at tbe feet of your Itmperial Majesty." Georgey's surrender to the Russianns was unconditional, some say he has proved Traitor, and beetn bribed.

It becomes our painful duty to record anoth er act of violence within our District-the mur der of Joshua Hammond, Jun. Three men, a Father and two sons. by the name of Green, are implicated in the murder. The Father anl one of the sons, have been cominittcd .to jail. The other has made his escape. The murder, it is said, grew out of a gambling spree. How lung shall our District be disgraced by these horrible tragedies ! Mlelancloiy. Mr. W. L.

The slave Joe, who is now in Jail for the murder of JEssE WEATHERFORD, says, that his owner, hefure he was sold out of Jail at this place some years ago, was a Mr. Cevions Whit' amore, a soap factor, and Tallow Chandler, at the corner of St. Philips and Ratcliffe Stieets, Charleston So.

Btita week since the information was brought us, that though severad times defenated, they were still acting on the offensive-intended sooni tao make an attack on the Atustrian frontier-and would probably dictate terms in Vienna. No it is repet ted, that they hanve been forced Lo lay down their arms unconadttionally to the Russian forces; and what is worse, that the brave, the gallant, the gifted Guergey, in whose generalsip the hopes of his con ntry centered has proved a trai tor, and beena bribed to surtnder to the Rus sians.

FOR THE ADVERTISER. -. & :RPlank Roads. MR. EmITo;-lnagain recurring to the subject of Plank gads, I propose to show their advantage, in sotto respects, over Rail Roads.. On the great routes from the Atlantic Ciifes to the valley of the Mis sissippi, where hundreds of travellers pass daily, Rail Roads possess as great advan tage over Plank Roads, as the latter do over common Roads. No one, 1'presume, would advocate the introduction gf Plank toads on these great routes, fur'purpnses of travel. It is in agricultural countries, where the population is sparce,as with us, that Plank Roads possesa great advantages over Rail Roads. In the first place, the cost of a Plank Road, ready for use, is only about one tenth of thecost of a Rail Roadready for use. (I include in this, Locomotive, Pas senger and Freight Cars, Water Tanks, &c.) The cost of attendants for a Plank Ituad, is less than one tenth, of what it is on a Rail Road. The money expended for Iron, Locomotives, Cars. &c., for a Rail Road is sent out of the State, while the amount expendedl for a Plank Road, is retained in the State, and even in, the District. The Timber is here, and needs only a Steam Engine, to convert it ituo Lumber. The Labor is among us, and needs only proper direction, to be availa. ble. When completed, the R->ad will be here, accessible to every oue, benefiting every one, injuring no one, and can he used at all times, and at all hours, by the poor and rich, old and young. ,his some what different with Rail Roads. .Having certain hours of departure, the traveller is oblhged to leave, when the regulation of the Company requires, or he'caunAot travel at all. Many are of opinion, that .if the Rail Road was near them, they have only to transport their Cotton to the nearesbpoint on the Rail Road, and that they will re ceive their supplies brought by the Road at the same point. Such will.sumetitnes be the case, but not generally. - A Rail Road may pass through a man's planita tion, and within twenty yards of'his -Gin House, and unless there is a station or turn out at the place, he may be compelkd to wagon his Cotton. and other produce, five or six miles to a station ; and still the Com pany may be disposed to grant him every acct'mrnmodation. Turn.outs are expen sive, and are only constructed where the wants of the Company require. The trains have their regular time of departure, and if they are stopped on a single track, to take on Cotton, ot other produce, they interfere with other trains, besides, it would he necessary to take hands on the train to load, and if the Company- were disposed to accommodate, they. would be prevented by circumstances. There are other objections to shipping cotton, by Rail Road, when left'at turn-outs. dr stationd, it often lies for days. exposed to ihe wea ther, until a Car load is collected, or it is convenient for the way-train to take it on. If a planter is subjected to the trouble of loading and unloading his waton, if he was near a Plank Road, he would prefer sending his Cotton in that way to market. No one, I presume, .supposes that a Rail Road from Hamburg to Edgefield, would pay 6 per cent dividend. .T1i!principal advantage expected to be obtained when that project was agitated, was'to facilitate the transportaiionl of produce, atnd which I have endeavored to show, could be ac' comiplished by lank Roads. Many be lieve a Rail Road from H-amuburg to Edge liuld, would out pay the expense of rn. inig the Cars. .[n evidence of thi4. they cite the case of the Portsmouth and Roa nuke Rail Rood. It was ini operation several years, whlen not paying rtunning expensus. thte stockholders were assessed, to defray the expense of runnitng the Cars. Finuding it an expensive business, the road was abatndotned, andi no Car lies run over it for several years ; the road is still there, a strikitng proof, that Rail Roads are not pronitatble in a sparsely populated country, like ours. SA LUDA, - FOR TUF. ADvERtTIsER. luR. Ento,-Being invited by you. andt called for again by Saluda, to give a few nmore ideas aboutt Plank Roads, their cost &c., I cheerfully resume mty pent, to write for the Roads, attd when the time comes, will help to butild them. But I am really afraidl that my Saluda friend and I,-will be discouraged, unless we htear favorable news from some quarters. Be ing~a countrymatn, and not mixing much with the people, I am not able to say whether our endeavors to stir~ up our fellow-citizens have becen successful; bit this I know, that if they would take the same interest in Plank Roads that we do0, we would soon have a rond with a double track from Hambutrg to Edgefield C. HI., and a single track from Edgefield to Ab beville C. 11., antd ono to New berry C. ii., and one to Greenville via Camibridge. And now, Mr. E~ditor. some will sny where is the money to build this mighty road to come from ? Let every one do his duty, and the money will he forthcoming. Let Llamhiurg atnd A ugust a subscribe $100,000, (for they arc equally interested, llamburg sells us our heavy articles, antd Augnsta the fancies.) Eogefield C. II. $50,000, Edgefleld District $100,000. Abbevillo District $50,000, Laurens District $50, 000, and Greenville District $50,000, which will be 8400.000; and that will btuild the road atnd branches. The dis tance from flamburg to Edgefiald Coutrt Hlotuse, over a level country, is ahnut twen ty-five miiles, the grading over thamt part of the road willinot cost much. WVe will puOt down the grading and layingtdown at $500 per omile. It takes 142 000 feet lumber per mile, single track, or 284.000 feet double track, n hich can be had, deliveretd on the road at $7 per 1,000--which.will be S1,968 per mile. We will put the cost of double track at $2,500 per mile, and it wtdl cost $62,500 to Edgefleld Court flouse. Dis tance fronm Edgefield to Abbeville C. II., fotty miles, say 81,100 for lumbcr, and $600 for grading and laying down, it will make $1,700 per mile, or cost of Road to A bbeville 868.000. Thea distance to New berry is ablouit forty mniles, cost the same, i. e. .868,000. Distance to Greenville via Cambridge, about ninety miles. cost 8153. 000. So yout ,-ill see we can buihil nearly twvo htindred miles of Plank Road for S$51,500 and part of that will be double 4. " Having now given some idea cf the cost, I hope the people will not be afraid to give a helping hand. You, that ont the well timbered pine lands of our District, erect Steam-saw Mills, and they will be more valuable than the placers of California. Subscribe liberally towards these Roads, and let. nout the opportunity slip. You nit) of .lamhurg, awake! Be up and doing, and give encouragement not only to Salada, but - A FanNER. FoR THLE ADVETsit5f2. No. XII. The same subject Continued. We bate given some historical exam ples of the evil tendencies of mnnovation. How are we, now, as a nation acting up to these warning lessons of the past ? It 'is greatly to be feared, that we,: like many nations that have preceded us, are going in the broad way to ruin. The spirit. of change is already rife in our:land, though the existence of our government, deies little more than half a century. The States are fast receding from the admira ble Republics founded by our ancestors, and falling into the shmckling Democracies of old Greece and Rome, which neither secured individual liberty, nor contained the elements tf self-preservation. See what has occurred in New-.York, under the boasted name of reform! All thatwas venerable and time-testbd in the political fabric has been ruthlessly torn down, and 'new whimsical additions iade, to suit the vitiated tastes of modern progressive Re. ftrners. Nothing has been left in the old family.ma::sion to fix in the imagination of the young patriot, feelings of respect and veneration. The orderly spirit of Hamilton and Jay, so infused into all the early state economy, is departed, and in its stead, the mobocratic genius of Tam many hall, rules the Ctmmouwealth in tyrnr.ic sway! This infection, indigenous to New York, is fast over-spreading our whole country. Mississippi is seized with it : so is Ohio: so Kentucky atid Georgia, and other States, and the evil, we solemnly regret. is grow ing every day in our own midst to an alarming extent. What! Shall we too follow trio mad career of Greece, and Rome, of France and New York ? Shall we destroy our liberties by gradually frit tering away our noble Constitution, till no Charter tights are left us? WVhen that great document is gone (and when man gled as the Constitution of New York, its epoch is anarked) there will be-little hope left for ns. We will go the nay of all disorganizing. lawless nations. Our gov ernment will soon degenerate into the worst form of consolidation. The will of the numerical majority will control our destinies ; and of all species of Tyranny, the world has ever known, that of an un restrained majority is the worst. - One ty rant may be dethroned or assassinated ; but this many heeded monster of nppres, sin can never be removed. It possesses the power of perpetuity an! ubiquity. - It is sempiternal, omnipresent and omnipo tent. It unina physical force; ands moral power-the sword and the purse; und no alternative is left to the minority but to submit or to dissolve the bonds of society. It is with theta ty'anny or Revolution. This would, indeed, be a gloomy pros pect fur a nation's liberties' To guard, thterefore, against thiq reek less spirit of change, which so well tcnda to do away with our very Consmtu tions atd to destroy all established order and usages, is ihe first duty of the s'atesmaIn and patriot. There is. we solematly believe, no evil in our political affuirs, which re quires more powrerfutl resistance. It is the bane of our land. It nmightt do wvell to place utpon it, itn some way. strong legal checks. Demosthenes itnts us. that among the ancietnt Loorians, in order to check itnnovation, it wans enacted-" If any~ onc proposed a law and that law war rejected. the indiridual sujired deaak." There is more wisdom int this lani, tban woutld seem on first blush. Let us look inore speciatlly to some of the incidents of this daongerous spirit. In the'first place, it has a most fatal tendenacy, from the fact, that it always comes forth under thte name nod pretext of Reform. -Reform," is a word that pleases the corn mfont ear ; for it conveys the idea of some thing good anti ennobting. In its proper ac ceptatiotn, it sigttifies improvement. When applied to political tnatters it ts generally ntsed to mean, thte getting rid of abuses by just and equitable amtendmtents. T his ts worthty of mthe htighest regard of thte States matn. Butt unfortutnately, now-a-days, by a sort of mnetotnymy, people take the stgu for the thing siguifiet-thte name Reform. for the ideas it embraces: while oftetn the only tmark of reform present itn a tmeasure, is tlte name alone. Let us, Fellow-Citi zns, reflect, that every change is cot reform, thottgh it may assuame that style. Th'le name is oftetn given by desiening tnetn, the better to infla~me popular prejudice and tot coturt pnpularity. As a tmaxim of gene-. ral cautiotn, it may be allirmed-That in novators--those who cotnstantily desire catnge, in out' politicatl instituitios, are antiReformers: for they often inspede the progress of natiottal atdvancemetnt by ig terrupting te operation of salutary law9' and institutions ! Beware of those, thetn, whos perpetually cry, chtange ! change ! Anothenr grievous evil arising from tis spirit. is, that change has a' tendency to beget change. No propensity of our na ture is pano active and powerful than a desire for novelty. And like the indul getce of aty other strong passion, the more it is exercised, the greater will be its desire for gratification, atnd the more diff cult will it be to restrain it within proper limits. Give undue indttlgemce to this graspitng spirit, and you destroy all thte ele tents of conservatism in a comtmutity. The work of tdestruction will follow as surely as thme order of titme. Attd once fairly begun, there is no reasonable chmeck to its progress. Every thir~g must give way to gratify a vitiated public taste, or to suit popular errors. Nothinsg will be venerable enough to escape the hatndsyf desecratiotn. The stately etdifices of state, and~ the Temples of our Holy Religion, will fall at their approach. Then may we see, the wisdom of a long line of an cestors neglected and despised-our Con stit ut ions gone-our virtuous mattners abadoued-anttd gradually all our ime honored institutions, w~hich etmbody the virtues and wisdom of any past ages.
