We wish this public-spirited (perhaps weshould say Chris:iati-spirited) society a speedy. accom plishment of their object. And merely to help on a little we will any to you, ladies, that you may send to us, as soon as you please, ten dollar' worth of your articles at your own prices. AN ACCESSION. WE take pleasure in announcing to the public that Mr. ALDRIch has secured, for the musical -department-of liis Seniinary in this villige, the services of Mr. A. KOEaBEa, a- German but late of New York. Mr. K. is decidedly the most brilliant. Pianist we have ever had in Edgefield,. and we -have no doubt of his capabilities as a teacher. On yes terday, we had the pleasure of hearing him in several piecies; and we have not been more high ly gratified in this respect, -fr many days, than we were by his splendid execution. We were specially pleased with Mr. K's. own composition. Among these last was a Sacred piece, an-9ver f4rei a Marcir, a Gallop and a Sh'otiscli, all excel.ent of their. kind. Mr. KoxasaB also designs giving privat'e les sons. MUSiCAL. WE had the pleasure, a few days ago, of at tending one of the bi-monthly musical exercises Mr. RAtso'D~s Female Seminary at this place.

Indeed I should be sorry to be the subject of idolatrous worship hy any one, and espenially should I tremble if te enemies of Temperance mere to praise me."' If there be any meaning at all in this language, it must be that his Hlonor intends to iay at our door the charge of enmity to Temperance. Some, in our situation, would stamp calumny upon the inuendo without delay or hesitation. But the Judge's present position, before the people of the State, induces us to prefer pointing lhi' to hi's error and asking his re-consideration of the over' powering sentence. Our first fault seenms to have been a neglect to land Mr. PnstLrr WHrrE and his Temperance speeches. Our second,,we suppose, was a refusal to do better upon receiving the dictum of the Judge. And for this we are ranked among the enemies of Temperance. If there be any thing else, (which has appeared from our pen) in the least calculated to authorize any. such charge as his IHonor has thought prudent to-prefer against us, let him produce it. Or elso let him stand con victed before an impartial public 'of- doing an humble fellow-citizen, but one of-equal rights and-equal character with his own, the mostasin gular and uncalled-for injustice. It is only necessary to append certain expres sions of ours, published in the same number which contained our first brief vindication of the course we had pursued in this matter. Besides concluding that paragraph with -the assertiori of our beleif that what we published "had resulted, here, in advantage to Mr. WutrrE's influence and to the Temlierance' causeas connected wvith that gentlenian," we had, in the 'same column a short notice under the heading, _" Temperance," a part of which ran as follows: " We have received a circular from Judge O'NEArLL, as President 'of the " State Temper ance Society," for which we return our thanks. The proposition is briefly and forcibly set forth of raising a Temperance lkund for the 'more active propagation of temperance principles throughout the State, by the purchase of Books, Tracts &c.; adb the emlomet of suitable Lecturers. T e circular shows, that -Sduth Carolina is far behind her sister States in 'this, as in many ther things. We oish:the cause- toeli-and trust Wtma e idiciously~and efectively'carried on. Wehave nothing more to say at present, except I a liroffer to: the -Judge our forgiveness, in ad-.t rance, fbr having maligned us in so glaring a nanner. And we assure him that w'e can say, sith a portion of Mr. Wiszii'rfailing, if not in gist favorite gutturals, that "-Temnpea:teV is -a SAM.MI.DL RTICL6* -.
