ORIGINAL SKETCH. MY UINCLE'S STORIES NU IEt ONE. 1Y J. A. C. I dcci it, readLr, unuecessary to give you any particular introduction to my Uncle, as you will become suflieiently acquainted with his character as we progress. It is enough to say that he is a bachelor-turned of fifty-that he was unforta nate, or unsuccessful in addressing a lIdy in. his early days, and that consequently he looks with suspicion upon nearly all young lalies, whom he calls flirts, coquettes, or 'Its. Ile is, moreover, a considerable talker, fond of relating renarka ble adventures, c h'tir true or false, I will not pretend to say. But this I know, his hearers must alwes appcar to believe what he says or meet *ith his displeasure. ' was a lovely evening in June, but a short tien b'efore my marriage, (for I am married, dear ieader,) when my Unele and myself were seated in his ceol piazza in pleasant chit-chat-" And so," said my Uncle, suddenly changing the subject of conversation, " I hear that you are deeply enamoured of Miss EmieliniA.?" I told him that I was--that I expected soon to be married and would, no doubt, be as happy as it was possible for man to be. " Yes," said lie, " young men are always ex travagant in their calculations, and you are like all others. I was young once myself and I ought to know something about it." "I do not doubt the correctness of your jutdg ment," I replied, "but did you ever see a more beautiful and accomplislied girl than Eneline, and so amiable-" " So fiddlesticks !" said he. "1 Listen to me, young man, and learn from the experience of another, which may be a little cheaper and plea santer than learning from your own. I was young once, and was just about as foolish and as easily captivated by a pretty face as yourself. Being fonu of the coumpany of the ladies, all the time I had to spare was devoted to their society. It was not long before I fancied myself a general favorite. For I have always observed that young mna who are very fond of the company of ladies, generally flatter themselves, that they are favor ites, though frequently treated with a contempt ious familiarity not very pleasant. But be this as it may, I soon began to think that I was almost irresistible. The fair girls always appeared so glad to see me. They would sumile so sweetly their eyes were so bright-the tones of their voices were so nusical-'twas perfectly charmi ing. One in particular, I observed, appeared glaler to see ne than any other, and she was the fairest, the most acco:iplshe'l, the most ..1mable of all. Of course it was not !ong before I was in for it good--yes, completely over head and ears in love. Al! those werc delieious umoments, for she was truly a glorious creature. With large dark eves, ringlets black as the raven's wing, falling in graceful curls down to her shoul ders, cheeks of th-: richest earnation.i, and teeth s0 pearly white and even. No wonder I was happy. 'Twas enough to turn a better headl than mine, and mine is none of the worst. But this time I was cotmpletely taken in. A nd who wvould nmot have been? Who wvould htave thought it wa the devil madle those eyes so brieht-that. I contitnued my visits, until, at length. I began to perceive a langor and petnsivetness about her, which led me to believe that I had' won her heart and that her fear of my desertion was mnaking her melatncholy. " Alh, wretch thtat I am,," I sai.l to tmyself. "No dearest Eliza iever shall I de sert yon, nevor shall I cease to love you, but willingly will I devote tny life to the promcotin of your happincrs.'' Fu' of these th~oughts, I hastenedl to see h~er. There wais a dejeetion about her that was irresistibly clh: roing. I1er eyes were bright as ever, buit they lookedlas though they bore the traces of tears. I wvas itt expressibly touched. Arm in arm we left the house. Armi in arm we sauntered down a shadyv lane to the banks of a beautiful stream. Amnd there in a beautiful grove, mid the songs of birds, I gathered for her the choicest wild flowers and wove thenm in her clustering hair. And when tired with wandering about, we sat upon a tmossy b~tnk, with thme mturmuring stream at our feet, I thought there could tiever be a better opportuni ty, so, nmusfering courage for the desperate at te~mmpt, I took te.r delicate h~t:he hand,(it trembled) and by degrees gthering strength I[told my tale o'f love. '-Dear friend," she said, " I have h.ng espeeted this. Bitt see, what beautiful thig is that in tire water 1" 1 stooped to get a better view of the object to wideh shte had directed my attentiomn, wheni, with a sudden push, she sent mec headlong into tho strean, and with a wild and nle'rry laughr bonnded away. To me that laugh samded like the yell of an incarnate fiend. Yott niiay be sure, tlh(l drieking complete ly cooled nty fore.-Such is nmy experiencee of the treatment to be expected' freni a coquette, and, if I am tnot niistaken, yotif feautiful and ac complishied girl is one. But tizme wiH show." So ended my Uncle's story of his unforfunate courtship. I sympathized with hinm as far as hur tian sympathy could go, ani agreed with hitm in~ denouncing coquettes as being geterally heart less beings. But I could not agree wvithi himi in denoutncing all young ladies as cnqucttes. Met~s especially did I difyer from him with regard to Emeline. A nd I wvas right, for time hams since shown that she was no coquette. A WVssmaN GrAN.-.mong the nume rous "IHAtRD LOOEING CHlAts"'whto are now in Charleston en route for California, there is one of the tallest lads we ever laid eyes on le is uver seven feet high and more thanI three across the shouliders and withal a wag --ho says " they did'nt want him atny longer in his bistriet"'and turned him out of thme settlement as a ntsisance, "eauts' the folks tn the second story couldn't be private when he was abott." We can only' add that it being the tmisfor-1 tune of our editorial selIf to pass him on thme same side of the street we felt suddenly whittled downt to thme little end of nothing looked at through the wrong end of a sp. glass-in fact lost-nowhere--Charleston Evening News.

Per haps no village in the State is in possession of a more complete ctablishtnent than the one of which we are now speaking. We hav exam ined into its details with some care, and itnd tbundant reason to wish, for the firm. a l.i41h dc ree of success. The work they turn out com pares favorably nith that of any .sinilar wnrk. shop in the Soutth-and their prices have ivretdy been proved to be as moderate as the Augusta and Charleston prices.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. WE call attention to the advertisement of W. H1. CRAM, Dry goods merchant, .\gutsta, Ga. It will be seen that he has a rich supply of almost very thing in lis line of business. We shall give Mr. C. a call when we visit Augusta next, ind we hope others will do likewise. 3essrs. C. & E. L.

We hope that some of otur read,-rs will endl a htelping hian-d to this, thet first of South :arolina's poetical voltumtes. The poems uof 3r.

TUlE FAR3MER AND PLANTER, Ws have talluded to this agricultural paper re eatedly within te last twelve months. Whether >r iot our tnotices have resutlted in contribtuting inything to its suppurt, wc are utnablc to say. We 'ope they have-because we are thotrouglhly con. inced of the impuhortanice of havin;; tat least otne well conducted atnd liberally sustained joumrnatl of tie kind in outr State. Our opinion is that the Farmer and PlIantelr has beens heretofore carried n in a mnantner, which gives assurance of its be. :oming a first rate agricultural publication, itt vry respect, if the fartmers atid planters of Sothl Carolina will give it a helping hand by increasitng t subscription list. . " Book farming," as it is oetimes called biy way of ridicule, is spoken of m.nany in slighting terms. Yet the very piersons, who speak thus, will lie compelled to admit, ulpon npartial reflection. that, butTor it, the agricuhtt. 51 excellence, whsich characterizes tlte moss cuil ivated harts of the earth, would not now be even lreanicd of. The fructifying influences of en ightened and scientific culture luas enabled Etrope (bothr the Conitinent atnd Great liritain) o give sustenatnce to milliotns, where thoutsatnds, ithout those influenceu,- cotuld scarcely have been upported. Thteir efrect is rnowy telling with tlmnost nagic power tharouighot the Northuern portion of he United States. That the Southern States pre ent almost a wild and rugged appearance wheti ontrasted with the improved appearance of their ,rthercompeers is, in a great degrec,nattributa de to the fact that thte rays of science have not eached its, to brighten anid beautify the scene. We are far behiund in the race of agriculttrail skill. tshould not be so. Farmers andl platiters of the southt should feel stimulated to wake til and go o work, to draw forth the hidden resources of heir hitherto mal-treated lands. As one step to. ards doing this, the support of an agricultural magazine in each State is almost indispensable. n that under consideration, we fitnd uric already tated near our homes. Shall we permit It to aguish and fall through frota continued indliffer-. ne? We trust not. We hope that the farmers f Edgefield will think of this matter atnd act in b premises forthwiths.

Wn.V that may be, is a diflicult point to decide Various are the opinionsivtich we see shadowed forth, rather than distinctly eipressed, In refer. ence to the policy by which we, as Carolinians, should be gui led at this unpleasant juncture of t our history. We will be pardoned if, umong the rest, we hazard a few thoughts upon this impor taa:t subject. The people of South Carolina, by an unmis. takeable vote, have decided that, under present circumstances, it is utterly inexpedient for us to hoist the colors of a separate Independency. Withi this decision in full view, our existant Convention will not. of course, take tny steps which might lead us into an attitude so distinctly repudiated. To suppose thetn capable of doing anything of the sort, Is to attribute to them the licentious spir it of reckless revolutionists. Presumptuous and unfounded must be the suspicions which have been insinuated, in this point of view, against this honorable and honest body of men. Secession by South Carolina alone, otn the score of wrongs heretofore endured, is numbered and filed away in the archives of the past. We deeply regret the circumstances of division and distraction tt home which have brought the State to this position for we ever had and, have still, a firm confidence I in the feasibility and power of separate State ac tion. But, as we have said, the mandate of the sovereign people of this comtnonwealth has gone forth-and, for the time 6cing, that remedy is not to be considered. Nor do we think, with the present condition of things in South Carolina, that any half-way inca sures, such as were sketched out by some of our politicians last year, should now be ventured upon. Because, mn the first place, those measures, properly und-rstood, are nothing less thant inciptent steps towards the condemned policy of separate action. And, in the second place, they are too weak and ineflicient to comnand the codidcence and support of either party. It would therefore, he both dangerous and useless to press forward any thing of the sort at this time. Again, we eannot find any reasons to recommend this thing of South Carolina plhying " Achilles in his tent"-drawing herself within her shell. like a box-:errapin, in stlen obstitnry, while every other Southern sister is wide awake andi struggling, with commendable zeal, to tmake the best of a hard case. It is neither philosophical, nor is it in accordance with the spirit of the age to fall ba-k thus upon an empty and unavailing dignity. The days are gone by when a prantl peiplie coull strike their oppressors with terror by a lofty but quiescent indignation. The world has become e-ninently practical and singularly imper vious to those generous impulscs of honor and justice which, history says, have heretofore infln enced men and nations to noble and disinterested concessions. Nothing now can he expected from the interpositinn of a barren right. tnaccrntpanied by a deterininnt ion to maintain it resolutely or perish in the attempt-nothing but the sneers and contempt of far the greater portion of mankindt'. These retmarks, when applied to the case (if our long-hoasted State. become more sadly truthful than any devoted son of iers is disposed to admit. Yes-she has at length herome a by-word for en raged1 impotency-andI, sinee the woeful terminn tin of last year's domestic strife. she is indeed looked upnn by a majority of ier confederates as being litle better than a fretful community of Ichildish Ihotspurs. who live by the stimulus of an occasional quarrel, in which the tongue and pen are the only w-rpmns to be apprehended. Had thte policy of thte Secessionists prevailed, by a majority stuflicienit to htave rettdered ottr actionI :tr- tlt-rent wvould have been the estimation placed upon the character of Soutth Carolina. But, as it is, we- mutch fear thtat her influtence ha. been vastly dimittished, if tnt completely annulled It is in view of this apprehetision, that we speak of her as a glrnintg illntstration of the titter sttupid allof State% standintg taloof int moody apathy, while alteworld arouttd is in a race for the malstery, paying no moure attention to the fmninlugs of little Carolina thtan eager travellers wouhtl to the dull smoke ofC a ntewly-capsized steamn-entgine. fThis may sent to be a digression, me-rely for thte purptose of ve-nting~ a little spleen ag~aintst thosue who de-feated thte enere-tic and mnanly action. an viscd by the yo-calle-d Fire-eaters tof '51. Far frmt it. We htave not thte slighttest ill-will towards ayv ind-i idutal for basitng acted thus. lunt we tintk all must now adtmit tat South Carolina's moral influence has sufrered a terrible deelensio~n, since the certainty has gone forth to lhen enemie-sj that shte is not to he fearedl, and to her friends, thtat; she is not to he looked to as a leader, If this be| so, how impekriotus thte necessity whic-h now entlis upon her to leave her tent of imbeellity-to gird on hear armor, attd step fortht " into thte ring" were all thte rest oif hter assoc-iates are actively striving for thte atdvantnge-s. Unless she dloes thtis, there is no other fate in store for her than to be spk:n of bpy cotmittg generation.s, as atn impratcti eble little State, ever boasting of rightts whtich she ntever dareh maintain, and making an excuse of her itndignation to avoid an egtial patrticipationt in the cares and disquietutdes of the American Republic. From thte fore-guing remarks it may be seen that we are inclined to the opintion that, inasmuche as Crolina chivalry is in a shockinig decline at thtis partictlar time, wye should make Carolina shrew'~d nss felt, both in thte affntirs of the Atmerican Gov ernent atnd in the Comm-ee of the world. We shoutld bend all ottr energies to thte great work of enthancintg the wealth atnd general pros perity of our State andi people. Seeing that it is Iscarcely possible for us, at present, to assumie an attitutde of in-iepentdence, we shtouild labor, with patriotic atmbitint, to bring about the lttme when it will be the mnanifest it-rest of others to show us that forhearantce which thtey never will yield at the hiddling of Jutstice and flight. To this en, liberal encougemenit shtould be given, by legis aive enaetmentt, to tall utndertakings whicht are likely ton increase the happittess and afflutenc of, any anti every grade of our poptlation. It should h the study of every one, whlose influence may be felt itt the civil adtministration of our State governmenat, to make that government subser viett, as far as possible, to thte advancement of our wealth and consequent itmportance among the mentbers of tho great .imerican League; especially since it htas been settled, by ottr ownt dciothat we are no longer prepared, as a sovereign State, to be-otme the exponent and Ichampion of hight principle. We shoul do every thing that lies withtin the compass of our ability.1 to tmake our -State once snore an object of respect to thte worldl around.- Titus would she speedily become the home of enterprise and sktill, and of every variety of progress, as she has heretofore beent thte land of tihe brave and the generous. Nor shnould we do ought to <leteriorate these lat ter virtues. Whl circumtfstances might entable t to assimilate, in point of weamlth, to the cotui tiott of our Northertn sisters, we need ntot on that account cease to train outr children to the practice of the old Carolina virtues. While we might rad it tote our true policy to take an active part in tte affatirs of the central government, we need not on that accouint cease to keep before the * rising genteration a faithful delineation of thtat l j government's past enormnities and of its tendlency to despotic rttlc. While we are compelled to| ..-:, t.om ...pas, it shonid be emblazoned uponr ,ur banner that we ubeoy rlinquish no particle if our sovereignty--but are determined to con innc its assertion before mankintd, until the day hall come wLen our people-shal be prepared to >roclaim with unitedsoice,.
