EDGEFIELD COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE FOR YOUNG LAIR M-I REV. CHARLES A. RAYMOND, Principal. 7 IIE Second Session will commence on the - 9th of January 1852. The Trustees congratulate them'selves, their friends and the public, filn winat they now con sider the permanent establishment onf an institu tion of learning of so high a character in their District. The benefits witicl their own children, with others, have experienced during the past Session, enables themtn with the gre:ater confi -dence, to recommend the Institution to the pat ronage of the community. The School wma opened on the ISth of Sep tember last, with thirty-.ne 'upils, and has since been gradually increasing. It is confident ly expected that the rnnber in attendance will be greatly increased during the next Session. The ltstitute building now contains seven -rooms, all of which have been built, and are used, for.purposes of insttruction. A finne apparatus; a large collection of Maps; Anatomical Charts, Glubes, &c; a Museum of Natural Uistory; a Cabinet of hiinerals and Shells: furnish -unusual facilities for acquiring a practical knowledge of the differeut branches of Scienee. a ter, and n sotcof tprheivr, 1ight etit fmr st The Pa et.rdtes the whole of hil- time to the super :ision and instructiotin of the various classes. The Assistants are experienced in their diffe rent Departnients, and those only of known sue ceoft in teaching arje emplhnyedl. The Aeadetnictl -yar is divided into Sessions of 14 weeks e-. it; i-- of great importance that the student be present at the commence ment 'of the Session.

Books, Stationary annd Mtsic, can be obtained in the Village at reasonable prices. The Department of Music is tunder the super. visnioni of one of the most acceurate and accomn plished teachers in the State; atnd it is believed that utnusual facilities are aflhrded for tenjitrmng a thorough knowledge of thnis difficult science. In addition to regular private lem'ons, thne pupils in this department are divided into classes, and taughnt on the plan of Pesitaliizri. They devote much time to exercises, adapted to train the car, and the voice, annd to impart an easy and brilliant execution. If they puratue the prescribed course of musi cal instruction, they aequtre the. art of reading music withe facility. They arc required to be regular and systemat. ie in practising daily at thte instituate. The training and cultivation of the voice, receive an unusual degree of attention. Thc science of Elocution is here applied, in develop ing the voice for singing, with great effe~ct. The Institution hias been almost weekly visitec by a large number of the lmadies and gentlemet of our village, who have invariably expresse< the highest-degree of satisfaction, at what the: have heard and seen of the proficiency of th< Pupils and .the arrangement of the Institute And the Trtistees have only to add in concln sion, that while in their opinion, there are man: institutions of learning deservedly popular in ou State, yet there are none ~which can fuirnis greater or more substantial advantages to youni Ladies than that urider the charge of Mr. RaI - N.

Ja29 The Son of Temperance. BY PROF. INGAAHAMf. " WHERE this evening, Charles" asked r lovelv married woman of her husband. Thi tone was slightly sneering though she smile4 as she spoke. " I ani on the visiting committee, and hav to call on a sick brother," answered Mr. as he put on his gloves. The lady pouted. He took up his hat and approached he with a playful smile. "Alt, Mary, I fear you will never overcomq your hostiliiv-it is no longer prejudice, bu hostility to our order." " An'd T do not wish to. Here you weri Away oni Monday night until ten o'clock, an you are off again." - But. I have duties I owe to others as well as to yourself, Mary! I give you five eve, Ining% and often six in every week, and yot have a great portion of my time during the day. We must sacrifice some things for oth. ers. As members of the great community, wr hnve duties external to those due to our iitmediate families. "But you had no such duties until you be. eame a Son of Temperance." "I did not, till I became a Son of Tem perance, see so plainly the duty I owed to my Ielow creatures, as I now do. Becoming a Son of Temperance has enlarged my views of benevolence, and opened to me a field fur its exercise." - And pray, what rre you to exerei.eo it upon to night? Who do you visit?" she asked with a toss of her pretty head. "A young married man by the name of - , who joined the-Order a year ago, I I learned by a tioto I received fram the Worthy Patriarch, while I was at ten, is discovere.d to be quite ill. He has been absent from the Order for several meetings, but as no one reported hint ill, I was not aware of it till now. As he li'es in the next street, I must go and see him." " Wlat is he ?" "A Son of Tempernnece." I wnean his trade !" 'Then you mean hov respectable is he ? We Sons of Temperance know no distine tion of trade within the Order. We are all brothers and friends,. lie is a mechanie-a shoemaker, I beliere; I have several times spoken with him, and like him. le is quite unasuming. and very initeretin cover sion'tWith great -flieneyand eloquetee I'is health has been delicate of late." "You seem to feel very much for sneh a ort of personit seems to me!-Welh, -o! I will try and lass the' eveining as well as I ca, as 'do those when you are at the Or dir!" and the lady pouted and looked dis pleased. "Why not let me ask lively Ay to drop in and pass the evenintr! " "I had rather not have her." "Why not go into your father's? I will ee you there, and call for you when I come back." " No." "Then pass the time in reading." "I shall go to bed." % This was said so very positively and an grily that her husband said nothing more ex cept " good evening." She waited till she heard him close the treet dootr, and then sprang tip anid begAn to pace the room. The cricket was in the way and she kicked it out of her way. The wo'rkstanid was on obstacle tothe free exercise of her limbs, and she tilted it over. For full five minutes she continued in this amiable mood, during which papers strewed the floor, chairs were laid on their backs, and the poker and the shovel took a turn or two of cachuca about the room. At length she threw herself upon the sofa. and played the devil's tattoo with her little heft foot till she wvas tired. She then pulled a feather fari to pieces, and east the Iragmnents around her; took up a book and glanced into it, and flung it to the farther side of the room, greatly to the peril of a splendid mirror,nand to the uitter demoh. tion of a colo:gne bottle that unluckily lay in its progrees. After a few gentle epitheta at the Sons ci Temperance generally, and at her husband im prticular, she beeanme somewhat calm either under the intlnencee of cologtne o'r exhtaustiot. Mrs. notts not a simpleton, nor:a vixen, nor a fool. She had good sense,a cultivated mind, and knew a great deal bette: than to act as she did. She was jealous jealous of the Order, ntot of a woman ; foi she had too just an appreciatiotn of her owri beauty if not of Charles' constancy, to be jealous of any laidy. No, the Order was hec rival. It robbied her of a part of his society all of which she thought it was her right te monopolize. She was like a stingy, chilc with a sweet apple. She must enjoy it in a corner, lest somebody should want a bite. She had from the tirst, openly shown het hostility to the Order, and many had beet the scenes of tears atnd reeriminiations be, tween them ; lhe being too firm to yield lhel weak entreaties to withdraw from an institu tioni he knew to be so worthy ; and she s< .blind only to her ownt selfish love for ever) -hour of his time. At his refusal she wouke Sretort. r"You pretend to ' Love, Purity and Fi I delity.' Where is your love for mel Whiere Sis your purity! Where is your fidelity, - when you refuse this to my hove, after yol have so]' mnly pledged youtrself whlen yol married me, (;harles, to love and honor me Is this hot oring or loving me ? If you thin * o, I do not. While Mrs. - was eating ice creati -Amy 0-----, came in. Being now in better huimor, (ices are an excellent presierij tion in these matters!) she managed to rc ceive her husband vecry admeirably, when a .half-past tine he returned. Hie looked gratified at the cbange in hiet but made no remark before Mi5s Amy. I1 was quite grave and thoughtful. .At .lengt he said, smiling, as he looked at his wife. " Miss Amy, my wife has scolded me little for being a Son of Temperance,.ye know. She tried to have me stay in to-mgh But4 as wa onn the sick committee, I cotul not very well. I atn thankful I did not," he said, impressively. ,Would you like tn hear," he added, addressing the young lady, "where I have been." " Yes I" she answered laughing. "Let us hear, Sir, some of your great benevolent doings!" I " After I had walked five minutes frdm my door, I turned into - street and with some I difficulty found the house I sought. It was small, and of humble exterior. I knocked, and a woman came to the door. I atked if Mr. - lived there ? She said he did. I told her I hod come to see him, having just heard of his illness. ' He is indeed ill, sir. Are you a Son of Tempera nee ?" she asked, with in eager look. Yes." "Then all is well for us," she answered, gratefully. " lie is my husband, sir. He has been unwell for these six weeks. And for the last ten days lie hasn't been able to work ain hour put it altogether. This wor. ried him, and wore upon him, nnd made 'him right siek at last. Well, sir, as his daily enr nings were eat by the four children as fast as it caie in, if he lost a day, it was robbing the mouths that depended upon him; and he iars been paid low of l:ate; there are so many cord-wainers that are not married that work for very little. So lie grew sick and took to bed with fever." "And how long has he been so ill " "Four weeks, sir." "And why has lie not made it known to the Order." "So I told him; but lie said no. He said ht6 would keep from the funds of the Order till the very last minute. So lie made me sell this atid that for food, and to buy medi eine." " This sensitiveness was all wrong," I said to her. " The fund was in part his own con tribution. He was entitled to it as a right. It is never regarded in the light of alms." " But he felt that it was sir, and he is prond. Well, sir, we struggled on till to day, when lie proved worse, and nothing to eal, I made him tell me who was Patriarcii of the Division, and so I put on my bonnet when lie was asleep and went straight to his house. He received me kindly, and said my huadtand should at once be attended to; and that's only an hour sinee, and here you are already, sir, come to see him." She pressed my hand, with tears, and ex pressions of the deepest gratitude. .1 enter ed the sick man's room. ie lay upon a bed reduced to a skeleton. He turned his barge glazed eyes upon me, and smiled as he re si," he said -if dforfified ehtthis'p6vertv "I did not ixpet-I shoud'soiooit nCAl upni the charitv of the Order" "You are eliiming of me only four right and my duty," I said. "No Son of Tem pera nce can be regarded as an object of ch.arity. Ie is looked upon as a distressed brother, and tle duties exteided to him are those of love. We owe each other only love. It is that has brought me here." Ife smiled gratefully, and pressed my hand with his skeleton fingers, which were hot to tie tonch. I found that le and his familyv were perfectly destitute; There was no cooling medicine for him; no food for them. 'Illis wife said that the children had enten nothing since dinner and were going to bed. crying for food. and she had, for their sake, eaten nothiatg since the night before!" "Oh, horror! dreadfully exclaimed both Amy and Mrs. -, in tones of pity and sympathy. "1 instantly went out. and hastened to the next grocery. There I filled my handkerchief with bread, cheese, cakes and -ranges for the sick man; and a paper of tea and sugar; and ins my hand bore a quart of' fresh milk. Witfi these treasures I hastened back to the scene of affliction and wretchediness. My presence soon cast sunshine upon the gloom. In less than half n hour things wore a newv fnee. I despatched a note or. two to my fellow cotnndttee-iiin, with instructiona to bhing a physician, and to come prepared to stay for the night. as my wife' would by. no meanms grave mie perniissioni to be out." "Charles! Charles!I this is too severe! said his wvife in a sad tone. "Nay then, Mary, I did not write so to them of ydu I I wvithadrawv the wocrd<!" " I deserved it If' you did, I have done all wvrong t! forgive me!" " Freely !" lie said, kissing her hand. "1 remained until they enmei with Dr. Stunton. Ily the timte I came away. every' thing around the invalid was comfoirttable, clean bed linen, clean lInen for himself,nand plenty of food ini the house. The Doctor said wvith careful nursing lie might recover. I took leave of him a little while since, leaving the two Sons of Temperance to watch by his bed side. When they leave, their place will be supplied by two others. 1 ought to be one of them, but-" " Charles! Charles, go ! lie &e of them. From this moment I shall speaak only of your Order with admiration and affection." Fox TlT.

For how can we have a spark of love to him, if that book, which is the full manife-station of his glory, be despised1 And yet a superficial acquaintance with it ii of no avail. If our ear were bored to the door of the sanctuary; 'if the words never departed from our eyes;' yet, except they wero 'kept in the heart,' our religion would be a notion, not a principle; speculative, not practical; conviction, not love. .Nor even here must they possess the mere threshold; let that be for the world. Let the word be 'kept In the midst of the heart.' here only can it be operative; for out of the heart are the issues of life. Here it becomes lively and substanial truth. Here, then, let a home be made for it-a consecrated sanctuary in the most honored chambers, 'in the midst of the heart.' This inhabitation of the word is a convenient promise-the test of our inter est in the Lord and in his people. This 'keeping of the word' will be 'life to those that find it.' Vigorous and healthy will be the soul that feeds on thiq heavenly manna. We shall not then bear our religion as our cumbrous bondage; we shall not drag on in Christian duties as our chain. Goodliness will be an element of joy; the functions will be free-and lively; the spirit will feel a vital blow; the mind will be enriched with Di vine wisdom; the heart will be established with gospel grace."-C. Bridge's Comm. oi Prov. iv. "0 let our hearts obey The gospel's glorious sound, And all its fruits, from day to day, Be in us and abound." BEAUTIFUL FIGur.E.-Two painters were employed to fresco the walls of a magnifi ient cathedral; both stood on a rude scafodd ing constructed for the purpo! some forty feet from the floor. One of t' .n was so in. tent upon his work that lie uccame wholly absorbed, and ir. admiration stood off from the picture, gazing at it with intense delight. Forgetting where lie was, lie moved back ward slowly, surveying critically the work of his pencil, until he had neared the very edge of the plank upon which he stood. At this critical moment, iis companion turned suddenly,.and, almost frozen with horror, beheld his imminent peril; another instant, and thle- enthuisiast wo id be pteigi. eeedeath wa'. quallif- ure-- S uegl~i e regained-his presence of -mind, and seizing a wet 'brush, flung. it- against the wall. spat terine the- beautitul picture wvith unwightly loteles of coloring. The painter flew for ward, and .turned upon his friend with fierce iprscations; but startled at his ghastly face, he listened to the recital of danger, looked shudderingly over the dread space be-. how, and with tears of gratitude blessed the hand that saved him. So, said a preacher, we sometimes get ab sorbed in looking upon the pietnres of this world, and in contemplating them, step back wards, unconcious of our peril: when the Almighty dashes out the beautifull images, nd we spring forward to lament their des truetion, into the outstretched arms of mercy, and are saved. DANGE.R OE IOSPERITY.-As long as the vaters of persecution ire upon the earth, so long we dwell in the ark ; but when the land is dr, the dove itself will be tempted to a wanering course of life, and never return to her house of safety. Many are not able to suffer and endure prosperity; It is like the light of the sun to a weak eye-glorions In deed In Itself, but not proportioned to such an instrument. In the tomb of Tarentia cer ain lamps burned under ground for many ages together, and as soon as ever they were brought into the aiI, and saw a brighter light, they' went out, never to be rekindled. So og as we are in the retirement of sorrow, f ant, of fear, of sickness, or any sad naeei dent, we are burning and shiming klamps; but when God comles wvith his mercy, with his forbearance, and lIfts us up from the gates of death, and carries us abroad in the open ir, so that we can converse, with prosperity nd temuptation,. we go out in darkness; atid ve cannot be preserved in heat and light, btt by still dwelling In the regions of sor owChristian Register. F~tE~nsIP.---Lient Montgomery had seen nuh military service. However, the wars were over, and he haid nought to do, but lounge as best he could through life on half pay. He was one day taking his ease at his taern, when ho observed a stranger evident ly a foreigner gazing intently at him. .The Lieutenant appeared not to notice the intru sion, and shifted his position ; but the stran. ger shifted hIs position too,, and still with unbanched gaze stared. This was too nmuch for Montgomery who rose and approached the scrutinizing intruder: "Do you knowv me sir l",asked the Lieu tenant. " I think I do," answered thieforeigner who was evidently a Frenchman. "Have we over met before !" continued Mongomery.' "I will not swear to that," said the stran er; but if we have-and I am almost sure we have-you have a sabre cut, a deep one, on your right wrist.". - I have;' cried Montgomery, turning back his sleeve, and displaying a very broad and ugly scar. " I didn't get this for nothing, fot thebravo fellow who miade a present of it I repaid with a gash across the scull." The Frenchman bent downi his head, part. ed hishair with his hand, and said, "You m look at the receipt." he next moment they-were in each other'i arms. They became bosom friends for life SUP'OSED DEATI FROM1 E1TEER.-Oni Sat :urday week, a resident of Chelsea 'had ethel udinistered to him previlous to undergomnp a. surgical operation to remove a toe. nai which grew. down rinto -the qufik The sat Restoratives were applied in vain~.and .deati en...e...n a.o,ut riv miites-.Boston Peel The Republic of Great Britain. The following from the New York Sun is indicative of progression with a vengeance: "A cotemporary falling in with an idea which we have frequently advanced-that Great Britain and Ireland will yet form an United Republic, nominates Richard Cobden to the Presidency, and mentions the name of Smith O'Brien in connection with the Vice Presidency. Though our cotemporaries are free to speak their preferences for particular candidates, yet we think our nomination Lord Palmerston-iq, under present circum stances, the most judicious. Palmerston, unless he commits some blunder, possesses the most elements of success of any man in the three Islands. In the first election for President of the United Republic of Great Britain and Ireland, it will be necessary, to conciliate the aristocracy, to put in nomina tion a liberal member of their own order, who is also 'strong' with the people. "A candidate of pure Plebeian stock like Cobden, will not run near so well in the first two or three Presidential elections as a lib eral and able man of aristocratic birth and con nections. It will take some years af.er the Republic is established to educate the peo ple up to the standard of pure democracy. "The reverence for distinction of birth and fortune must be more generally eradicated from the popular mind in the British Islands, before the Cobdens and Briahts can combine the yote of the people. CotIden, at present, could probably carry Manchester, and the vote of the English manufacturing towns, but he is not strong with the country De mocracy. There are many other things, connected with the social condition of the British Islands, to which we might refer in support of our opinion that Lord Palmerston will be the most available candidate, should he live until the republic is proclaimed. " As to the Vice Presidency. Ireland would undoubtedly, be entitled to fill the office, and Smith O'Brien would be a popular can didate; but as Ireland will be formed into a sovereign state, with an independent Legis. lature, it is more probable that Smith O'Brien will prefer being first Governor of the Eme rald State. For stern Republiani.mi, and a thorough practical acquaintance with the Re publican system, there is no Irishman, or Englishmen either, to be compared to John Mitehell. He would be the best man, there fore, for practical purpose-for aiding in firmly establishing the new Republic-to place on the Presidential ticket with Pal merston." to .mAze sn11e s tof " efo101linei-fHms~ all descriptions.

By such statements they make large sales, without paving the State taxes, paid by Merchants and Pedlars and consequently realise handsome profits by an open violation of our laws. Durin; the past week one of these charae ters hasaeen making considerable sales of ladies dress silks about town, in violation of the law. Yesterday proof was obtained sufficient for his conviction: a warrant, issued but not served, in conseqnence of the doleful lamentations' of the culprit whose well feigned distress we understand not oily turn ed the prosecntors eyes 'into fountains of water, but melted down his flinty liquid sym path, upon whieb he was -permitted to lauttc his richly laden bark, and sail into a port of safety. These violations of the revenue laws of the State should be no more tolerated titan similar violations of the revenue laws of the United States; and every offender should be brought to the bar of justice for punishment. But they are not, and why ? because the punishment is esteemed disproportionate to the crime. Fine not less than $500 and im prisonment, is the penalty incurred forevery piece of goods sold ini violation of the law. Now, there are a few men who like to prose cute for such an offence, when they know the cosquecs of co nvimton.-Cheraw Ga zette. THE DE.x COT'oN.-We have recently received some aecount of sales of the Dean Cotton of last year's crop. These sales have fully .sustained tho previous reputation of this cotton, having been made at at ad vance of 25 to 30 per cent. above the best qualities of the ordinary cotton. We under stand that most of this cotton has this year been purchased up from the few of our plan ters who have raised it, by a gentleman who came out from Massnchutsetts last fall ex pressly for that purpose. While other cotton was selling here at six or seven cents, he gave 10 to 10 1-2 cents for the Dean Cotton. Some lots have been shipped to Boston and there sold at 12 to 12 1-2 cents, while the best qualities of other cotton was selling there at 8 to 9 cents. This we believe, is conclusive evidence of its superiority. Those wvho have raised this cotton assure us that it is more productive than the common kind, and that they would much prefer to cultivate it even at the same price. It can be picked out much faster and is liable to less waste from rains and winds. There has been great demand for the seed of late. Mr. Dean wvho introduced this cot ton into use and who now resides in this city, is taking measures to have a sufficient supply of the seed another season. We be lieve he has now a small quantity on hand.

When the services were ended, the citizen, on their way homeward in order to impress upon his -tawny friend the superiority of Christianity over heathenism, entered into a detail of the money appropri. ted by the congregation of which he was a member for the support of public worship, the erection of the house, the salary of. the minister, &e. To all this the son..of thb forest, who had observed the drowsey difio. sition which pervaded the assembiy-repled, " Umph ! Indian sleep just as sound. under a tee, and not pay any thing." -, Parting Advice.. - / Mr. T. . Bell, who, during the late-politi. cal controversy in this State, conducted the Yorkville Misciellany as a c-operation Jour nal, in retiring from his post gives his rea ders the following admonition: " In making this announcement, we would beg to be indolged in giving to our readers a few observations on two sub-eets. Not withstanding tli storm through' which opr State has passed would seem to have gone by, do not conclude that it may not ibgain be blown back upon us. We caution you. to guard well your next-Legislature. Sea rate secession can only be ca-ried outaisd enforced through your Legislature. -Tfie convention is impotent without it is followed up by legislation. Think well therefore. on this subject. Preserve your organization, and regard him an enemy who attempts to distract it. Let aspirants to office know that these are not the times for any thing but principle-that private friendship is a.poor. motive for action when great prieiples and the mighty interests o. the State. are at stake." _We had hoped to see other signs than these from the party which claims to be. tri umphant in the State. Instead of earrying these party divisions into our next elections, we had anticipated some effort from these who considered themselves in the. majoritt to heal them, and thus present an unbroken front to our common foe. But not only from Mr. Bell's yaledictory, but from-othor indications, we are led to believe that those who in the laite eoitest opposed secession0 -and advocated co-operation as the most ef. feetive mode of resistance, have determine'd to renew the strife, and to give office 'and power to men only of their own party.-TIie effort to introduce such a system into Sotith Carolina will signally fail.-Carolnhikn. LAUtiENs RAILROAD.-We are informed by Col. Irby, the energetie President 6f our Road, that it is now completed as far as MUrtins.

DEATH FROM CwLoRoTo.--A. sadden and melancholy death occurred.in this city, yesterday after noon. Mrs.'Emily Norton, vife of Hart Z. Norton, of Norwalk, has been, afflicted for some years with a disease of-the jaw and cheek, req'uiiing the extraction of several diseased teeth, and came to this city to have the operation performed by her for mer medical attendant, Dr..Park. She had last year taken chloroform with happy effect, under his care, and now Insisted upon having it administered preparatory to the operation. She was allowed to inhale the chloroform, in avery small quantity for several minutes; - and almost while she was saying she fNlt no effeet from it, and was asking for its more free administration, the docter -noticed the pulse to fail. Within three or four minutes . from the time this change was noticedall" signs of life were gone, and the inost'tigeU. rous efforts to resuscitate the wotnmn proid' unavailing. The quantity of chloroformn'sed, we un. derstand, was much less than Is commonly administered in surgical opei-ntions; and the - operator is regarded as a skillful, judicious and prudent physician.-Salem Register, 10th. CALrroarA.-There are two bill of gre.t - importance before the Legislature, which in all prohability will become laws.. One pro~ vides for submitting -to the -people :atjho next election whether or not a Convention shall be held for amending the Constitution of this State. It is opposed by the Free Soilers en the ground that the real objest of the movement is to make a division- of the State,'so that shiwery may be introdireed-into the Southern part of it. It was passed by the House on the 2d inst. antd is now before the Senate. The other is to enforce con tracts, made beyond the State for the per formanco of labor within the limits thereof. If this bill should pass, contracts will be immediately made with .labuters inCChina, and -a fresh impetus will be given to. he. development of otir mineral tesoures,.n to the improvement of our city.
