EDGEFIELD, 8 0' THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1851. tV.Ownvo to the crowd of Advertisement* this week, we are compelled to omit several orig nal articles. They shall, howevert appear in oar next. Certain. 8' WE call attention to the advertisement of 3ir. ALDRICH's Academy. It is in a highly flour ishing condition, and is likely so to remains There can be no doubt of its becoming an ornament to our District. AN XCELLENT CITIZEN. IN another column will be found a set of Reso. lutions, adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Eethany Academy, expressing their appreciation . of the high character of their former associate, ABNER PEaltsz, Esq., who has recently removed to the West. Many will sympathize with the Liberty Hill community in the loss they have sus tained by the departure of this very estimable old gentleman from their riidst. If it is unpleasant to contemplate tie emigration of the youthful, how much more is it to witness the departure oi an old and worthy member of society, one who did his duty manfully, without the suspicion ol being ever influenced thereto by motives of inter est or ambition. We unaffectedly subscribe to the wish expressed in the close of the resolutions above rmentioned. THE FAMILY FRIEND. . TnE second number of this very handsome sheet has reached s, and it verifies the promise 01 the editor, made in his first number, that each succeeding issue should excel its precursor. Such is, in truth, the case thus far. We heartily wish for its enterprising conductors complete success and we have no doubt of their reaping a rich re ward, as the result of this most useful aud praise. worthy undertaking. The wind is in your sails, gentlemen. May you ever keep it so! GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR JANUARY, 1S2 Tais last number of GODEY, is before us, ir which the old fellow has actually exceeded him self; and to say that, is to say that he has out stripped every competitor for the palm of Maga sine excellence. For January he gives one hun dred pages of original matter, with twenty-eigh engravings. " Nuff said." CADET OF TEMPERANCE. Tuis is the name of a small but good-looking monthly, published at Greenville, S. C., and edite< by G. E. ELFoRD& W. T. SMITH. It will doubt less prove an efficient laborer in the field selecte< for its exertions. We can make for it no bette wish, than that it may find its prototype in one o those fresh, bold, pure and " cool-bubling foun tains". of the mountains, ever sparkling, eve clear, and ever refreshing. THE .CARPET-BAG. Coxxos justice constrains us to call attentiol again to the fact that a waekly is published ii Boston, bearing the above name, which is th very best thing of the kind in the United Statei It is "got up" in finished style on beautiful papel and is, generally, replete with very fair prose an poetic specimens. The whole work is conducte exactly as a work of the kind ought to be. Ot enterprising Southern publishers would do well rahran idea or two from the Dlan of thisub from depreciating the fruits of Northern taler and ingenuity. As for non-intercourse, we hav never been its advocate. If we must remaini the Union, let usn at least not refuse such benefli as it secures to us. Our Yankee neighbors are fa ahead of us in many things. Let us watch ther well and strive to catch up in the race of improve ment. Here, for instance, is a model paper in th Carpef-Bag. We would rejoice to see it surpass ed by Southern enterprise. It wcould be a mat cheering evidence of the advance of' horme indus try. The Carpet-Beg is putished at the very mode rate price of $2 per annum. BARD TIMES. Faosz those days, " whereof the memory o man ruinneth not to the contrary," "bhard times' has been the burden of the general cry, with the addition, occasionally, of " worse a coming.' But never have we known a season, wher that cry was more appropriate than it is at thais present time. We incline to the opinion that the " worse," which has been so often said to be "ia coming," is now come at length, and that toc with a vengeance. Money is scarce, corn is scarce, meat is scarce, and, last but not least, the subject-mnatter of an decent editorial is especially scarce. " What shall we do," is the important question that suggests itself to every reflecting mind. We have " chewved this cud of bitter fancy" as per. tinaciousfy as most men, and have come to the conclusion that the beet remedy for .hese " hard times"'is to "-grin and endtfre it." In the little matters of money and meat, we are-pretty certain this course would carry a man through trium phiantly, always supposing that he escaped the sad extremity of ther Irishman's horse, which is caid to have died just about the time he learned to live without eating. Barring this catastrophe, we saj that patient endurance will meet mtst emergen cies-4a not aRl. No-there is one thing which it -can neither meet nor avert-and that is, the cla mor of newspaper subscribers for something fresh original and piquant in the sheet for which they pay their money. An editor may sit in his sane. tum ever so patiently, but it availeth not, if he falls short in his editorial task-he may even " groan the weary hours" in travail as it were, but if nothing be brought forth, his groaning will have gained him naught but abuse or' ridicule and what is more difficult to bear than either of these inflictions I Ah ! ye, who deem an editor's life an agreeable one, come and try it, if you dare! Oiur sorrows are not sympathized with, nor are our difficulties appreciated. If they were, our lead wonld be much lightened and our compelled exertions much abridged. As it is, we must write whether we have any thing to write about or not. We must write, whether we feel hike it or not. We must write, whether polities is running high or low. We must write, whether the order of the day be resistance to an unjust government or ab solute sub-, but it is scarcely worth while to talk sbout that sort of thing in this cronnexion. What we mean to say is what we have alr-eady said three or four times, via: "We must write, with a stress upon the mediosyllabic word. Has any one the "cacoethes scribendi ?" Let him take upon himself-the management of a pa per, and a single twelve month's experience will cure him-if it don't kill him. But we commenced with " hard times" as our text, and bawe run off into a Jeremiad upon the tolls of our sanctum. Excuse, dear reader, the seeming digression. It in, in reality, perfectly apropos; for where can be found a more mournful picture of " hard timea"- than is afforded in the rueful visage of m PWan ediorwh ha en ilingm fr two weeks-is, for the time being, laboring under a catarrlal gripe-and can't think of any thing calculated to arrest the attention of his readers. The case is much more " hard time"-ish, when you remember that these difficulties have beset him in the December-1851-period of South Carolina's history-which period is nothing more nor less than a " full stop." OUR CONVENTION WILL MEET. The Legislature, by a large vote, has appointed the 4th Monday of April next, as the day for the assembling of the Convention elect. The question, now mooted, is whether the peo ple have decided that this body shall repudiate rasistance to the iniquitons oppression of the General Government-or, in other words, N% heth er the Convention of the sovereign State of So. Ca., shall tamely submit to the over-grown and defiant Central Despotism, located at the city of Washington. For one, we do not admit that the people have decided any such thing-and once more we nail our flag to the mast, with the new watch word, " No SunnissioN Fop. Eo. CA.," emblazoned on it's folds. And this tine, we be leive that wo shall be borne out triumphantly by the general voice of the State. SOUTHERN ADVOCATE DOWN UPON US, A paragraph, from this new and neat cotempo. rary, has just been shown to us, in which the edi tor takes occasion to rake us slightly on account of that very humble and innocuous call we mndc for " Hogs." The Advocate seems to pity our in discretion, and volunteers very kindly to enlighten us with some of his notions of "cuteness," for wl.ich we hereby return our thanks. Now we thought, as "honesty is ever the best policy," that as good a plan as any was, simply to let the truth be known-which was, that our people need ed hogs and that we trusted the drovers would not slight us. Had we drcampt, for a moment, that it would have discomposed the financial and speculative department of our cotemporary's peri cranium, we should have smothered our cry, and perhaps have managed the thing a little more adroitly. But we are disposed to think some one else is the " green 'un" after all. Does not the Advocate know that the usual trick of speculators is to in duce a glut, when the object is to procure an abundance of any particular article at moderate | prices! Why, how far does the Advocate-man live from market ? And when was he there last! Go about, young friend, and count a few more wrinkles before you venture to discourse " Wall street" logic again. One word in reference to the enlarged political deductions which the Advocate draws from our "hog article." We are told to think (while the necessity pinches) of what would have been our situation had secession prevailed. We would have been denied, intimates the Advocate, all the glorious privileges of hog and hominy. Heavens! f how horrible! But does the Advocate really be lieve that secession would have closed up the old Saluda gap 1 " Tell such as that to the marines -the sailors won't -believe it." And if it had, does the Advocate think so poorly of his felloy citizens as to suppose that they would have set down in despair and "trusted to possums!" Does he not rather believe that, spurred on by necessity - and pride, they would have determined to live within themselves! And would not this determi , nation have resulted directly in drawing forth a Sportion of the vast resources which now lie dor Imant in our State! liHe cannot deny it ; nor can rany one rationally deny that South Carolina owould have become a rich and a happy land. Swhich we read of as composing a part of Mons. eAdrien's evening entertainments. We speak of w that may be called the " Dissolving Viewvs of SSo. Ca., Chiv-alry." rThis political exhibition was introduced last Sfall by a grand display of water-works. which', to -a great degree, extinguished the true fire of Se cession and left the State in comparative gloom. Sometime thereafter, it was intimated that a sight -woul soon he unfolded to the admiring gaze of the whole Palmetto family, which would cause their hearts to leap at the prospect of certain de liverance from Federal thaldom. This was to he the substitute for Secession -and one too that would cause every candlid man to prononnce the brilliancy of the latter, blackness, when compared with the resplendent glory of that which was to come. Thus it was given out, and many believedh in the, unfoldling of this glory for a time. Blut thme darkness still remains. and !Iope and Freedom are in the very act of dloing what Campbell says they did when "lKoscinsko fell." 'gis sad re stilt has not come about without an eflort to pre vent it. Several spirited jtunior managers of the wires have resolutely graspedl the bell at diflferent times and rung for the uip-lifting of the curtain. More thtan once, they have given many of us brief but charming views of what they intendled to exhibit to the sovereign people of So. Ca.. as the true plan of resistance, which wvould lcadl to our certain triumph. And thouisands oif Seces sionists stood ready to applaud andI uphold them in the illustration of their schecme of action, milk adwater-isht though it appeared to many. liut alas ! they stood ready for an evanescent circumn stance-a fleeting shadow-a most rapidly dis solving view. Once, twice and again, did- the vision dance abroad in the light of day-each time disappearing, to return in more dim and doubtful colors~ until at last it vanished never to see the light again. And now it is evident that the darkness which has come over our State is never to be illuminated by the light of co-opera tion. Is it desperate to suggest a rapid re-kind ling of the sacred fires of Secession and State's Rights?- Are our people prepared for thme degra dation of unqualified submission ? We cannot believe it.

EDITo,-Allow me to call attention to re the advertisement of the school of which the Rev. Mr. ALDRICH is Principal. The letter as which forms a part of his circular is signed by m leveral well-known Ministers and Members of ar the Baptist Church. Their commendation of re the Rev. Mr. A., is certainly very high, as it is T disinterested. The success of the School under le this gentleman would seem abundantly to justify this voluntary testimonial tendered him by dis- to tant members of a Denomination different from ';N that to which he is attached. The school has sc had during its past quarter sixty scholars. C. 0 S4 House of Representarties, b The gallery, on Thursday last, was crow. p, ded with ladies and gentlemen, and his Ex- S cellency the Governor, as well as most of the members of the Senate, (the Senate busi- L ness over,) were sen occupying seats on tile b floor of the House, or in standing positions. o The Rev. Drs. Leland, Howe, and Thornwell T were in the gallery. In a word, there was p] no vacant space in the house, except hat a which was over the heads of its occupants. jt It was understood that our Federal Relations r( would be discussed on that day, and after a twelvemonth of much agitation, and not- el withstanding the ridiculous position in which e the State has been pheed by the recent elue- e tions, it is not surprising that general curiosi- il ty should be felt in respect to the character , of the warfare that is still to be kept up be- I tween the parties, or the terms of pacifica- n tion into which they may possibly, though t. not probably, enter. The house resolved itself into a Commit- tl tee of the whole at I o'clock, Mr. Memin- . ger in the Chair. Mr. C.mpbell's bill, to subject the property of citizens of any State, being in this State, and subject to our con- t1 trol, to seizure, upon the refusal of that C State to surrender our fugitive slaves, open- V ed wide the field of discussion on federal matters, much wider that had at first been anticipated from the nature of the bill. Mr. Middleton, of Winyah. opposed the bill, on the ground that it conflicted with tle Federal Censtilution. Mr. Campbell attempted to defend it on State Rights prlnciples. Mr. Abney, of Edgefield regretted that while more important and vital matters were before the Houg for its consideration, its attention should be engrossed by indifferent and mere collateral issues. Mr. Thompson, from Un ion concurred with his eloquent friend from Edgefield,at the same time asserting that I the bill was'not only unconstitutional in its character, but would, if passed and enforced, operate the greatest injustice to innocent per sons. Mr. Campbell answered sharply to the remarks of Mr. Abney aild Mr. Thomp son. Both those gentlemen rejoined, and Mr. Campbell, regarding the gauntlet as thrown down, retorted, making soine re- I marks whiehl his colleague, Mr. Burnett, and I Mr. Keitt of Orange, regarded as reflecting i upon the honor of South Caro!ina. Mr. Campbell replied, disclaiming any such in tention. Mr. Verdier thou'ght it useless to discuss the merits of the bill on con.stitu tional grounds, as the Constitution had been dead and buried for the last twenty years. Mr. Sullivan thought, so long as we remain. ed in the Union it was our duty to respect the Constitution, and he0 w~as opposed to the bill, because it was, in several palrticulars, a pal pauble violation of tihe Federal Constitution, Mr. John Smith said ho should vote for the bill. Mr. Phii >s moved tha h . Co.mn' t Uersorryfit a gentleman of the1 acknowleged ability of Mr. Campbell, in his< tirst effort at la1w-mlaking in South Carolina,1 should have wasted one entire day of a shlort! session in discussing tile merits 'of r.propo sitionl so utterly futile as a remedy for exist-. ing evils, so unlconstitutionatl in its provi sions, and so unjust and unmerciful in its operation, as the bill he submitted to the House. That it was re.jected by so large a mlajority aff'orded a significant indication that the IHouse, while there are weighty matters for its consideration, involving tile rights and honor of the State, are not in the humor of expending their own time and the people's mnoney, in discussing matters of no impor tance, and wholly foreigni to the duty of this Legislatulre. Th'le remarks of Mr. Abner were exceed ingly eloquent. Ile regardedl all mealsures of resistanice and retaliation, which stoppe~d short of secession, as inadegnate, and con sidering the past atliitude anid bold profes sions of the State, as disgralcefull. We can not report his words, bult lhe spoke with a tongue of fire,and old Edlgefield mighit well be proud of the spirit and patriotism mlani fested by her son and represenitative on this !! fccasiosi. The passage at arms between Mr. Catmpbelh of Charleston, anld Thiomipson of Union, and bet ween the same gentlemen and Mr. Keitt of Orange, will long be recollected is amog the most spirited encour~ters of the session, and the fiery rebuke by Mir. Burnett of the slur cast on this State by his col-. leagtue, formled a mlost striking, and, inl Our view, appropriate episode ill this debate. A message was received from tfie Senate requesting the House to concur with that, body in tile atdjouirnmnent of tile Legislature on the 16th inst. The House sent a mnes sage of concurrenee.-Staute Rights Repub lian, Dec. 6th inst. ---0 Tnra CoNvENTION AGAN.-Quite a Iong t and unexpected debate occurred yesterday y inl thle IHouse on tihe calling of the Conven tion. It arose from a bill to repeal the con- .. vention clause of tile act of last session, whlich was mentioned in a report from tile Comn mittee of the Whole offered by the chlair man, Mr. Memminger. On the question of agreeing to tile last report recommlending the rejection of tile bill, Mr. Memminger called 1 for tihe yeas and nays, and the whole matter a was agin taken hold of. Tile discussion was continued up to 3 o'clock, and if thlose - opposed to the convention expected to get an advantage by thus renewingl tile discussion, rl after having b ell definitely settled on Satur-J day, the result of the vote must have disap- re pointed thlem-the majority in favor of thle convention having increased by ten votes. a Carolinian, 9th inst.

THE BANK, QuESTION.-The question of hartering the Bank of the State was fully bated in the House yesterday, and as far we could judge there seemed to be a' neral expression of sentiment - that. the veinent wa:ipremature.

McCLINTOCK, TEACHER OF PRIXA %v DPA aT3ENT. 1 School was opened on the th of last .September, and from the liberal patronage it has already received, (having now in attend Dnee sixty Seholars) the Teachers are abundant ly encouraged, both as to its permanency and success.-They respectfully present their Circu lar to the citizens of this District and to the pub lic generally, upon whose liberality they rely for continued support. The school is strictly South ern-all the teachers being natives of the State -hence there is no room for apprehension that the scholars will imbibe sentiments, either di rectly or indirectly, at variance with our peculiar institutions. Course of Study. The course of instruction will be as thorough as the opportunities of the scholars will admit. If the attendance is sufficiently long, all the stu dies usually pursued in the first Female Semi naries will be attended to. As no education can be regarded as thorough which does not contem Ilate the eternal as well as the present well-being of the scholars-the Bible is introduced as a text-book into the school, and .whilst all sectarian influence is scrupulously avoided, it will be the constant aim of the teachers to impart such moral instruction as will incline the scholar to exercise a due regard for " the things of religion." The daily exercises of the school are opened with Prayer and the reading of the Scriptures. VACATIONS. There will be but one regular vacation in the year, commencing on the 15th of July and end ing on the 15th of September. - Terms. Terms per quarter, (payable at the end of the quarter.)
