EDGEFIELD, S.C . THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27,1851. gi* Tus Communication of " N. P. W." on the query we suggested, arrived after the decision was made. It it an excellont view of the question and we claim it for publication. An attentive pe rusal is invited to this, and the other communica tions found on our first page. CORRECTION, WE take pleasure in making the following cor rections in the poem published last week, signed " STELLA." In verse ninth, " Ilast thou even," read " ast thou ever." In verse fourteenth, for "Faith thy helmet," read " Truth thy helmet." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS' WE call particular attention to the Advertise ments of Messts. AGNEw, FISIKER & Co., of New berry, S. C., and JonN P. SETZE, WILLIAM II. CRANE, CoSGRovE & BRENNAX, SNowDEN & SHEAR, and DUNHAm & BLAKELY, of Augusta, Ga.. These gentlemen have on hand large supplies of rich and beautiful new Goods, which they will sell at moderate rates and on accommodating terms. Our friends visiting Augusta and New berry, will do well to call upon them. OUR APOLOGY AGAIN. WE must beg indulgence of our readers for the meagerness of editorial matter in the present ntunber. Our Editor is absent on a visit to Columbia. We hope that his report to us, of the sayings and doings of our Legislature, and of the big and little men generally, who are now con gregated at our seat of Government, will amply compensate for the lack of editorial articles du ring this week. We expect to receive fron him weekly, a full account of legislative proceedings, and of other matters of intereht. We here take occasion to say, to our Delegation or other friends, now in attendance on the Session of the Legislature, that; we would be much pleased to hear from them. Certain, we are, that our readers generally, would be more entertained with reading their brief sketches of the proceed ings of our law-makers, than puring over long columns of extracts, from the Journals of the Houses of Assembly, and after all their trouble, obtain a very imperlct idea of what has actual ly been done, or is in progress. However, if we do not receive from our correspondent, weekly, full accounts of what is transpiring, we will en deavor to supply our readers from the Journals. TEACHERS' .ASSOCIATION. WE are requested state that the annual Meeting of the Teacher's Association will be held in Co lumbia on the first Wednesday of December. BISHOP GADSDEN. ACCORDING to appointment, the Right Revcr end Christopher GADSDEN, ish1op of the Protes tant Episcopal Church in South Carolina, held a confirmation in Trinity Church, in this town, on Sunday the 22d instant. The occasion was one of interest, and many availed themselves of it in being present. Besides, the Rector, several other clergymen attended and assisted in divine service. THANKSGIVING DAY. FRIDAY, the 21st instant, was observed as a day of thanksgiving, humiliation and prayer, in conformity with the proclamation of His Exceel the citizens and the congregation were in atten dance. The Reverend Mlr. GRAnAar, Rector, officiated on the occasion. He delivered an earnest and feeling discourse, and one highly suited to the day. In consequence of the absence of the Pastors of the other Churches, they were not opened for religious service.. INCLEMENT WVEATHIER, DURN the present month we have had much unpleasant weather. This, it wvould seem, is a " set off" for the long fine spell wltich wve htad in the early part of the fall. For about a week past, thte weather has been particularly disa greeable. On Thursday, last, the temperature was quite cold, and so continued till Monday night, at which time, about 8 o'clock, rain com menced falling and never ceased entirely till 10 o'clock next day. With the sample of winter which we have hadl, we are perfectly eatisfie-d. We hope thtat old Bloreas w-ll not blow again soon, such rude blast as heo has recently. If lie does, wve will be forced to enter a protest. But come whlat will, wve must be content, and be glad that things are no worse. FAIR OF THlE MECHANIC'S INSTITUTE. TFins annual exhibition of Southern art and industry, opened in Charleston oti Tuesday night, the 18th instant. A large number of persons were in attendance, among whtom were several from our district. Numerous specimens of me-. chanical ingenuity, natural production, useful and ornamental art were exhibited, all showing considerable progress. Among thte beautiful works of art, one stood proudly eminent, and attracted the admiring gaze of all beholders. Thtis was the celebrated statue of Eve, by our countryman Pow~its, kindly loaned for the occasion, by JoiN S. PRas-roN, Esq. Thtere were also, two very pretty Cameos, cut from the ordinary conch shtell, found on the beach near Charleston, and executedl by a lady of that city. We would cheerfully call attention to other articles well worthy of it, if our limits would permit, but wve must refer our readers for a full account to the Charleston papers. T'his is the third fair of the Mechanic's Institute, which has been held in Charleston. Such exhibitions of industry and art are at tended with mtuch good, and we hope that they will long be encouraged and patronized in our State. A SAD ACCIDENT.-Quite a sad nccident occurred on the Columbia branch of the South Carolina Railroad this morning. As the passenger train for Charleston was pas sing Hampton's bridge, about five miile.s be low Col'umbia, Mr Cimtrles Muligan, engaged as assistant conductor or the ears, whilst ad justing a rope attached to the bell, was knock ed off against the bridge and fell across the track, the wheels passing over his legs, which crushed them in a horrible manner. He was immediately conveyed back to Columbia, to receive medical attention, and we regret to learn that his attending physician Dr. R. W. Gibbs, found it necessary to amputate both his lees. Dr. Gibbs was asisted in the oper ation f~y Drs. Thompson and Boatwrighit. The injuries resulting from this sad accident are of so serious a nature as to render it doubt ful as to his recovery.-State-Rights Repub lican Thuisday Nov. 20. It is currently rumored ini Washington that Mr. Webster is soon to retire from the Cabinet, that Mr. Critte'nden, the present Atterney General, is to take Mr. Webster's place as Secretary of State, and that Rufus Choate is tn en Attoney Geneal. The Legislature. Both Houses assembled yesterday at 12 o'clock. The Senators elect from Riebland, All Saints, Orange, and Williamsburg appeared and were qualified. In tie Senate Mr. Quattlebaum announc. ed, in some very feeling remarks, the death of Mr. Felder, late Senator from Orange, alid offered the customary resolutions; after which the Senate adjourned. In the House, after being organized, mem hers elect from Abbeville, Edgefield, and Pondleton appeared, end were qualified. Mr. Preston presented a petition praying for a recharter of the Commercial Bank of Columbia,and gave notice that lie would ask leave to introduce a bill for that purpose. Mr. Abney gave notice that he would ask leave to introduce a bill to prevent the intro duction of slaves into this State. Mr. Poppenheim gave notice that on Thursday next lie would introduce a bill to prevent the citizens of any State, where the execution of the fugitive slave law was ob structed, from using the courts of this State for the collection of debts or the enforce ment of any contract. Sundry petitions and presentments and notices of bills were offiered. The reporters of the South Carolinian, Edgefield Advertiser, :nd Charleston Courier were allowed seats on the floor of the House. In both Houses the usnal committees were appointed to wait upon his Excellency the Governor, and reported that lie would communicate with both U ouses to-day at one o'clock.-Carolinian, 25th inst. The Difficulty wih Spain &c. BALTEMoRE, Nov. 21. The Spanish Mlinister dined with Mr. Webster at Washington yesterday. The difficulty has been amicably settled, and the prisoners now in Spanish custody are to be released. A very serious and melancholy accident occurred in a school house inl New York city. During an alarm of fire, the children in their fright, tnade a rush for the steps in order to descend into the street, when the banisters attached to the staircase in the third story gave way, and precipitated one hundred and twenty of them down an area of thirty feet. Forty-eight were taken out dead, and seventy wounded, many of them mortally-several of whom are reported to be dead to-day. There were over eighteen hundred children in the school. MR. THRAsHER CoNDENED.-The Isabe from Havana brings news that Mr. Thrasher has been tried by a jury of six, and convicted of treason, and sentenced to eight years' la bor in the chnin-gang, in the quicksilver mines. We are infornied that Mr. Thrasher, having eitablished a newspaper in Uavana, had taken certain o:;ths to the Spanish Gov ernment, which are, we believe, necessary to b. to taken by foreigners. prior to permission being granted to then to engage inl business there, and that consequently he was regarded as a Spanish subject, and tried according to the laws of Spain. Mr. Owens, it is stated, attended the ses sion of the court, which consisted of a pre sident and six members-three of whom were for garoting and three for imprisoning Mr. Thrasher, but the casting voice of the president decided in favor of imprisonment. The Courier has heard, likewise, a rumor, the authenticity of which, however, we do not vouch for, to the effe'ct that Mr. Owen vasnot tendered a seat bunt was~ kent .t.ni PnOG RESs OF AMERICAN MANUFAeTURES. -Thle New York Dry Goods Reporter, af ter, noticing thne production of prints, after the style of high priecd French goods, ob serves: One after another the manufacturers of Europe arc obliged to retire from the field, leaving American producers to supply Amern enn conisumers. First wve obtained~i the mar ket for brown cottons, and the production of Iof bleached goods followed as a natural con Isequence. We thnen attempted prints. The victory on thme goods is within our grasp al ready. Implorter after importation of thne British article. We next attempted the eas simere fabrie, and have reduced the imaporta tion so low, tha~t none beside those engaged in supplyinig tailors can import them to ad vantage, and even they dare not repeat an oirder. Tlhe shawl making was believed by Saimmuel Lawrence, Esq1., to be a busines's that could be profitably carried on among ourselves. The correct nnews of~ his judgment is attestedl by those noble struct nres, the Bay State 31ills anid those beatiful faibrics now ex hibiting in the fair of the American Institute. Last though not least,ecamne thne mnanufancttures of de laines and cashmeres. We have not as yet stueceeded in closing thle market against the imported article, biut we have succeeded in commanding a full share of the attention of purchaser, and ere another yeanr rolls its round, the foreign proidncer will find thant to maintain the volume of his sanles lie must re duce the cost of production. TE" oldest inhabitant" in Vermont, as wve learn by the census returns, is a black man, a nantice of Mart initiue, and now a resi dent of Ponmfret. His nanme is Peter Nassau, aind hris nge one hundred and twenty years. The oldest inhabitant ini 31assachrusetts is also a negro residing in Manrshipcc. There is no record of his birth, but from thre best date that can be attained, Ihe is one hundred and sixteen years old. He was once a slave, and is a native of New York. HeI h:as always said that his mistress told him he was twen ty-onre years of age the first year of thre French WVar in 1757. H~e is now blind and has not been able to (10 much work for thme past forty years. The oldest inhabitant of Georginr, is a white woman. livinig in Clark County. She is one hundred and thirty years old and has living within a mile otf her, grand.cehildren to thre sixth generation. In Louisiana there is a negro slave, living in the First Municipality of New Orleans, one hun dred arid forty yeamrs of age. lHe appeatrs dried and shrivelled up as if all blood had ceased to circulate, in Florida the oldest inhrabitant is Dolly,a negro woman belonging to Dr. H. D. Holland, of Jacksonville, Flor da, aged one hundred and sixteen. She was a cook for some years during thne revolution ary war, and has not lost her skill as a gas tronomer. THEc corporation of the city of Louisville, Kentucky, has on several occasions forward eud railroad enterprises by subscriptions to the stocks. Thre mun'eipal body hass adopted a novel plan to interest the owvners of pro perty in the inmprovomnents. A tax has been levied on all the reat estate in the city called the railroad tax, and each tax payer is enti tled to Railroad stock to the amount of Rail road tax whiel. he pays annually. In this way all partieipate equally, and the stock L.ocomes private properly. WESTERX PORK TRADE-At Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, the pork trade con tinues dull, as buyers continue to refuse to meet thre views of holders. In Shnelby coun ty, Kentucky, 30,000 head have been fatten ed, aen son mit ony8,0 nol.t ITES BY THE GEoRGIA.-MR. THRASHER. -The steamer Georgia at New York, from Havana, brings a confirmation of the trial, and sentence of Mr. John T. Thrasher. Ile was tried and found guilty of treason, and sentenced Lo eight years in the chain gang. He is to be sent to Spain. Ile is in good spirits, and anticipates a reversal of his sen tence. Mr. Owen, the American Consul, was present during the trial, and has been using his endeavors to obtain Mr. T's release from the Captain General; but his labors were without effect. The riot at Chagres had resulted in the death of 20 or 30 Mexicans, and a much larger number of blacks, numbering about 100 in all. The fight was still going on with desperation when the steamer left Chagres. being'between the Mexicans and blacks who are not natil-es, but St. Domingians, Jamai cans, and Carthagenians.-Charleston Eve ning News. OuR CITY.-There are but few cities in the Union more rapidly improving than Charleston. For the last two years a house has hardly ever been two days without a tenant, and although they are built as fast as the materials can be procured, still a number is wanted, and very many families are com pelled to board out. Often when there is even nothing unusual to attract visitors, our Hotels are overcrowded. Property is daily enhancing in value, and places for a lone time unsaleable, are now anxiously inquirea for. With such a state of things at present, what may we expect when the Charlotteville, Wilmington and Greenville Railroads are completed, without alluding to those pro lressing in the West ? Besides all this, it is a remarkable fact, that when a city gets a population of fifty to sixty thousand inhabitants, it makes re sources within itself. We have an abun dance of capital, and superadded to all the prospects we refer to, our citizens have been arou.ed at last to the importance of its in vestment in constructing facilities for foreign commerce. Our contiguous count ry.too, shares in this revival. Farms and plantations that have for years been unappropriated, have recently been purchased and put into cultivation. Charleston Mercury. LuDIENTABLE ACCjDENT.-WC learn that Capt ain B. IHail, residing near Swift Creek, Kershaw District, got severely, if not mor tally wounded, on last Tuesday, whilst out hunting. Meeting with a Mr. Saunders, who was also hunting, the latter was changing his gull in his hands for the purpose of shaking hands with Capt. H. when the barrel of Mr. S's piece, the pins having fallen out, became detahed, and, in falling, discharged the con tents, the load entering his friend's body in the region of the groin. The physicians at the latest accounts could not give an opinion as to whether the wound would be mortad or not.-Columbia Carolinian. COTTOS STILL MovING.-Our great staple continues to move off quite freely, and accor ding to our daily commercial reports the sales of the past fortnight have been over sixty thosand bales, the bulk of which is for shipment to England and France What is more remarkable, too, the recent unfavorable advices from Europe, by the Canada and Baltic, produced no effect upon prices, which indeed are an eighth to a quarter of a cent higher in this market than they were two wveeks since. This is certainly encouraging, Delta, 17th inst. THiE MEXICAN TARIFF.-The Mexican gov ernment has re-established the lawv which provides that all foreign articles imported into Mexico, shall pay a duty of eight per cent. The articles aIre at no other time to 1)e subject to any state or national impost. The gen ral government, anid the Slate in whlich the imp~ost shall be paid, eqnally share the proceeds between them, and other States slmmll be eredited duly with their share. The law is to taike offect in four months from the 6th October. A MERICAN WINE.-The cultivation of the grape carried on extensively in the neighbor hood of Cincinnati, and it is supplosed that not less than one thousand acres are devoted to this purpose. A corresp~ondenmt of the Newvark Daily Advertiser states that in one wine cellar which lie visited in Cincinnati, he saw 75,000 bottles of sparkliing Catawba, and about 40,000 gallons of wine in cnsks, varying from 40 to 5,000 gallons in each. NOVEL SALUTE.-In1 recent papers received from China, it is said that the Brttishi men of war Cleopatra and Lily fired, at noon, on thme last 4th of July, a salute of twenty-one guns ech, with thme "' stars and stripes at the tore, in honor of the anniversary of our na tional independence. The " China Friend," speaking of the event, says it is the first time such a thing was ever donei by any British vessel in Chinese wvaters. FIRE.--An alarm of fire was given yester day morning about 4 o'clock. TIhe fire was found to be in a kitchen attached to a small house belonging to Mr. John S. Rawls, on Camden ttreet. The building was con sumed.-Carolinian, 25th inst. SiNE DIE.-In a neighboring county, the Democrats had for over twenty years been in the habit of holding their county nomiating conventions at the house of a staunch old Democrat, Mr. G Ho happened on a recent occasion for the first time, to be in when they had finished their business, and heard a little delegate from R--move that " this con vention do nowv adjourn sinc die." " Sine die," said Mr. G-to a person staninig near, " where is that ?" " W'y-thmat's 'way up in the northern part of thme county," said his neighbor. "110o(1 on, if you please, Mr. Cheer man," said G--, with great earnestness and emphasis, " hold on, sir. i'd like to be heard on that question. [ have kept a public house now for mor'n twventy years. i'm a poor man. I've always been a Democrat, nnd never split my ticket in my life. 'Tis is the most central loca tion in the county, and it's where we've allcrs held our causes. i've never had, or asked an office, and have worked night and day for the party, and now I think, sir, it's mean, it's comntemnptible to go to adjourning this convention way uip to sine die."-Spirit of the Times. A NontLs Boy-A boy was once tempted, by sorre of his companions, to luck ripe cherries from a tree which his father forbidden him to touch. "You need not be afraid," said one of them; "for if your father should find out that you had them, lie is so very kind Lbat ho wounl not 1ur o." e "That is the very ,reason," replied the boy, "why he .would not hurt me, yet my disobedience, 1'- know, would hurt my rather, and that would be worse to me than anything else." A boy who grows up with such princi ples, would be a man in the best sense of the word. It betokens a regard for recti Lude and firmness that would render him trust worthy under every trial. HYNmENIAL. MIARRIED, on Tuesday evening, 25th inst., at this place, by the Rev. Mr. Graham, Mr. A. M. PERRIN, and Miss EMILY, daughter of the late Col. P. M. Butler, all of this District. Hoofland's Ge'iman Bitters. TnEsE celebrated Bitters prepared by Dr. C. M. JACKSON, 120 Arch-Street, Philadelphia, are performing astonishing cures throughout the whole country. We can' bear witness to their curative powers in the case of a friend of ours who had the Liver Complain, and who had tried almost erery other medicine, but without eff'et. After taking a few bottles of these Bitters he was entirely eured. To those who are similarly afflicted we recommend them to take the pre paration, knowing that thy will- ure the disease spoken of, and many others to which "flesh is heir to." There is a spurious article made in Philadelphia. The only plaec to get the genu ine article is 120 Arch street, Philadelphia, of Dr. JAcKsON, or his agentsthroughout the coun try.
