VISIT OF TIE SEINOLE DELEGATION TO THE
PREsIDENT.-The Seminole lndians now in
Washington on Friday viited the President, and
*ere introduced by.Mr. Lea, the Indian Com
missioner. A number of gentlemen were pre
sent during the interview among. whom were
1lhe Secretary of War and the Secretary of the
Navy.
After they had been introduced Billy Eow.
fr-gs, their chief, made a short address to the
- President, in which he spoke of a treaty his
tribe had made with Gem. Worth, by which
they understood they were to be permitted to
:yemain in Florida on condition of remaining
within certain limits, and of good behavior.
The President, after the chief had concluded,
addressed the delegation at somme length ex
Plaining tar them in a kind and fainilliar minner
(be relations that existed between their .tribe
and the U. S. Government, and the course that
.would have to be pursued in regard in their
removal fror Florida, He told them that what
they called the treaty niade b Gen. Worth was
but a mere temporary arrangement, or a truce,
'such as was often nade by commanders in
time of war, and that it eoula not prevent the
nfo-emnent of the tteaty by which they had
'g'reeld to go West, This tre&aty, the President
inforned them, ruust be perfotmed, that there
was no way, to avoid it, and that it would be
for their benefit to observe it peaceably and
quietly. lie advised them at once to prepare
for a removal as the only way of saving the
temnants of their tribe, and astrred' themt in
thet event of their comlilkince of the protection
and favor of the Government. At the conclu
sion of the address the Indians took their
leave.-Baltimore American.
FATE OF COLONEL FREANER.-Tl? brave
ind talented Col. Freaner, whose letters under
the signature of " Mustang," were sojustly ad
' nired during the Mexieatnl War, has fallen a
tictim to savamge barbarity, near the Southern
boundary of Oregon. He started for the
Shasta country in cenpany wkh' i1otY or five
others, some five weeks a'cv, fof the utrpose of
attending the Denoratic State Convention,
dince which time the p irty lris not been heard

wvho hats fallen into the ha~nds- of Amnericanis,
reports that a party of men beatring the des-.
eription of Freanier's were mittrdered' by the
Pi:t River Inidiains, and the report is i all pro
bability correct. Freatner, Trobini, Yeoples

THlE Ftn~ar SETTLEMENT.-The National
Intelhigeneer in referring to the various specu
lations of thme Eastern press, in relation-to the
-.repo~rted settlement of the fishery dispute, says,
n-p iiiiiithere liis be.en no new ar-1
Ot mgement entered into, even if any has been
on i~hr sdethought of or proposed. All
t'mat was meant, as we beliere, by the late ae
cenunts from Englatnd, was thatt the British
3Ninistry hats disclaiumed the adoptiona of any
policy or the enforcemtent or any more stringent
tegulations respecting th~e Fisheries than had
been observed prior to the late groundless
flatre-up in. this country; in short, that the
British afinistry h-td no thought of adopting
any new line of conduec;. ina the premises, but
nica.'nt to leave thte subj-ect, both in principle
and praec:iee, jus~t wvhere the Treaty of 1818
placed it, and where it has remtainted ever since."
AUtERICAN NEWSPAPEns PROHIBITED IN CURA.
-All papers ini the United States, with the ex
eeption of La Crontic:a, El Pelayo, the New
York E.xpress, the Watshington Itntelligeneer,
and the True Delta of New Orleans, are pro.
hibited to be circulated at Havanat, and are
stopped in the post offiee. The French Consul
is allowed a single .numnber of the Courier des
Etat Unmis. T'hcCaptain'General has notified
to the agents of the American steamers, that
should Mr. Thrasher, on his way to New Or.
leans, or Mr. Snmith, pursuer of the Crescent
City, comec passentger itn any of the steamers
which touch at Havana, that steamer will not
be allowed to atnchor.
MlYSTER;oUs.-A writer front Pearisburgh,
Giles cotunty, Va., satys: "At a distance of
some three zmiles from this place, where some
workmen were blasting rock, having made an
excavation of ten or twelve feet, the earth gave
way, rand~ all were plunged into a latrge room,
apparently dug out. At the further extremity
- of the room, a htuman skeleton .was found int a
leam.ing posture, reclining, as it seems, against
the sides of the cavern ;and seated upon some.
thing resenmbling a chest. No clue as yet is
known to get at the history of the htuman relic."
POSrERITrY OF TIlE CoLcNTa.-The New
'York Journal of Comtmterce says the merchants
front the interior who have arrived thtus far, all
*present the country as in a prosperous condi
tien, and prepared for an active trade. This
statement is confiruted by the ebaracter of tho
goods which are most in demand, particularhy in
fabrics adapted for dresse,', the most active trade
beittg aliogether in better qualities. Those
miost familiar wvith the business htere, mtust have
notired thatt in "hard times," under a stringent
money market, the lower grades of goods, both
for wtomen's and inen's weamr, are soutght after to
the comparative negleet of choicer fabrics. At
present it is very difficult to stull' the cheaper
grades of dress goods, and this is suflicientl'y
characteristic of the state of feeling throughout
the country.
ANmtREar C~sE.-Judge Harris bas-rrecently
tendered ant ihdportant decision, hm the Rensse
Iaer circuit of New Yorke, itt the ease of thte
People vs. Willianm Van Rensselaer; noticing
which the New York Courter and Enquirer
says:
" From a cursory examination of the decision
it appears to be adverse to thte tenants, (atnti
renters;) the defects which the Judge claims to
have fomund in the chaini of title during the first
seventy-fivo years after the grant of thte patenit
having been heatlcd, either by forty years' ac
quiescence on the part of those holding the
leases, or by act of the Legislature. JYidge
Harris eonsiders that there wats good reason for
-questioning tihe tithe until the year .806; whent
the late Stephen Van Renssalaer availed- hit..
self of thte proviaionms of a law commuting
quitrents, whic-h, with tihe previous recognition
of thme title by time constitution of the State, left
no ground for contesting it."

REVIVAL OF RELIGION.
A MEETING has been carried on at Horn's Creek
Church, five miles below this place, for more than a
week, with unusual success. Many have been
aroused to a sense of the great importance of renew
ing their ways, and not a few have gone forward for
membership. Reverends BtooKs, GETsoN and
BaussoN have conducted the meeting. The excite
ment still continues unabated.
TOWN COUNCIL.
Tu following gentlemen compose the Council
elect of our village for the ensuing year.
R. T. 3ist, Intendant.
Wardens.
Lo HIrLL, I C. L. REro,
A. G. TrAGUE, S -. F. GOODE.
This ticket has been elected principally upon the
ground of refusing licences for the retail of ardent
spirits within the corporate limits. In other words it
i
is the "Dry" ticket.
We perceive that this; question has been made in
several other villages of our State and decided as it
has been here. Whether this be real progress or not
remains to be decided. We trust it may prove to
be so.
AN ACCESSION.
Ma. ALnCtn, of the " Young Ladies Boarding
kand Day School," has procured for his Seminary the
services of an assistant in the department of Modern
Languages, who comes recommended as possessing t
excellent abilities. Mr. GoaEN, late of Charles- I
(on, is the gentleman to whom we allude. It is a
source of satisfaction to see that the educational
facili-ies of our town are thus continuing still to
improve. We may already say with safety that, in
this respect we are behind no village in the State.
Mr. G. intends forming a singing class, into which
all, who desire to draw forth their musical capabili
ties, can procure admittance.
AN INTERESTING WORK.
Ma. RA.%TtoND, of the " Edgefield Collegiate In
stitute for Young Ladies," is now engaged, and has
been for some time past, in the interesting and ugefal
business of establishing a Museum for the beiefit of
pupils in Natural History. le proposes to procure
specimens from as many sources as possible, but
especially from every part of our own' District. Are
there not many of our citizens who feil di-15oed to
aid thb undertaking by sending in ang Birds, Rep
tiles or other animals which they may deem worthy
of preservation ! We hope they will do so.
AIr. J. TRUSsEI., an Engli-h gentleman, who for
the last fifteen months has been fitting up the Mu.
seum of the Charleston College, is tnow in Mr. R's.
employment for a similar purpose. lie is very skilful
and was awarded a diploma at the Fair of the S. C.
Institute a year er two agn.
REV. T. S. ARtTIIL'R
Tutrs worthy Divine has felt himself impelled to
administer to its sonmething of a castigation. It is for
our mis-conduct in expressing an opinion about
certain religious sparrings which we under~tood.
from several sources, were being exchanged among
the dif'erent. denominations at Greenville village.
IPerhaps, as we& i vealhead'ysutdde-had done betftr
not to have touched upon the subject at all. But, 1
having done so, we confess a disposition to defendi
ourselves at least against any charge of impiety or
irreligious meddling in the matter. Our friend,t
whose name is at the head of this paragraph, lasa hit.
upon the very " qualification" we mentally connected
with the few remarks penned by us in regardl to this
" Religious Controversy." So obvious did we consider
this " qualification," that we are inclined to esteem
that liberality as being rather inconsiderable tw hich
would njot take it for granted. And this too, withoutC
bringing into the estimate that principle of Christian
piety which obliges its advocates to place the best
constructiott uponi the doings of others. in this in-.
stance especially, we had not espected the animad-a
version we have incurred. It is with pleestre that
we number ourselves among Mr. AaTuca's friends
and admirers. True, we used the term " Puseyite,"t
but only as a quotation from the " Southern Bap-.
tist's" remarks. Those remarks we conwidered so
4' severe" as to form one of the circumstances which
led us into the error of using the word "' bitter." l
And the application of the epithet, '~ Puseyite," to
Mr. A., was one of the principal items which pre
sented the " Bapitist's" language to us in the light of -
uncalled for "severity." Last week, a Baptist cor- lI
respondent from Greenville corrected us, atnd we
expressed our pleasure at being placed "rectus in
cathedra." This wveek, one of a diffiet denomina
tion doecs the same thing, with a fraction more of
rebuking; and we renew thea expression, with the
assurance that we appreciate the motives which
have prompted our reprimanders in both cases.
Mr. Aa-rutca's argument upon Christian disputa-.
tion has both edified and satisfied us; hut this i snot
what we meant by "wtrangling."
- REGIalENTAL PARlADE,
ON Thursday of last week wc attended the Regi
mntal Muster at the " Old Wells. Early in the
morning of that day a great number of our acquaint
ances were seen hurrying to the field, for the parade
ground of the " Bloody Seventh" apparently possesses
for our people unusual attraction. Besides being the I
central parade field between Edgefield, flamburg atnd
Graniteville, it possesses various local advantages '
too numerous to mnentioni.t
On our way we were much gratified to see that t
the Plank Road hans been built and traveled over for r
thne distance of two miles from the-Pine HI ouse. There
is then an interval of about three miles not as yet r
in order, hut in process of preparation, and to all
appearances indicating a speedy progress.
Upon reaching the field of action we w ere saluted b
(unintentionally however) by the roar of cannon,
which nevertheless had its accustomed effect, and
aused us to think of as well as smell the " villainous I
I
satpetre." The ground occupied by the Regiment :
was peculiarly adapted for display. Indeed it was a i
splendid sight to see the Brigadier General and his f
finely mounted, richly caparisoned and beautifully i
tniformed stafF charge forth at the sound of the
Cannon. They were-recel'ved by the Regiment with
the nasaf salute.
" Meantime sonorous blowing martial soundls,"
which together with the'd'eep hooming of the- cannon,
the continuial gleati'rof tmsketry and the " far flash b
of thne red artillery," formed one of the richest scenes n
we have ever enjoyed the pleasure of witnessing. o~
Never have we seen aught more beautiful--around
" The rushing crowd, e
'Ihe d'corated'fieldi tIle long array,
The clashing music, and' the tienderinlg .
Of far artillery
The standards, the plumes, the coursen',- u
The liahners, thle nobles and the knights," ki
mhgled withs the rushing of the mltitude, presented
idd si'nl6st iluposihg anid gdgeouir spectacle. al
The evolutions of the day were' not performed (if
we mary be allowed~to express our opinion, for it is oh
hut an opinion, as we are not well versed in the I
ilitary art) as well and w ith that readiness, which fr
rom the appearance of the compatnies and the well ti
inown quallfications of- their several and respective hi
fficers, we had anticipated.- We ieiite this opportu-' a
ity, however, to notice the great interest manifest'ed t11
b4 Capt. LYeaaNsu for'the prompt performance of hiso
Crnpany. Capt.-L. certainly deserves credit for his
pparent endeavors; anid his Ciompany none the les,

C O ,M U N I C A TI O N S.
FOR TiE ADVR'rIER.
Massas. EirOras:-My attention has been just
-lled to an editorial in your issue of the 8th inst.,
n which I am personally alluded to, and presented
o the public in an unfavorable light. I beg therefore,
rou will give me the privilege of speaking in my
Itfence. It is the first dictate of justice, -10 give an
iccused person a fair hearing before judgement is
assed on him. I think iin your hasty editorial you
uavo misapplied the doctrine of charity as taught
y St. Paul. It Is the nature of charity indeed, as
xpounded by that Apostle, not to'be hatty to im
uto evil motives to actions of a doubtful nature;
tat to take pleasure in finding out the f#,ults of
athers, and to be ready to forgive offences when
ominitted against ourselves: but to carry it beyond
his, and to let it degenerate into a complacency
rhich is afraid to rebuke, or oppose, or condemn
.rror, lest we should offend the transgressor, or
iolate the law of courtesy,-in to violate at once
he law both of the first and the second table-it is
u forget every obligation which we are laid under,
>oth to love God and our neighbor. The most per
eet charity towords men, then, is that which, in
tvad of looking with complacency on their errors,
varns them of their danger, and admonishes them
o escape. . It is of no consequence that they think
hey are in the right. This only makes their case the
tore alarming; and to act towards then as if we
hought their mistaken views of no consequence, is
aly to confirm their delusion, and to aid their de
-ruction. Christian charity cannot then, mean
ndif'erence to religious error, nor connivance at
in; it cannot be a confounding of the distinctions
etween truth and error, a depreciating of the ex
ellence of the former, and at the same time a di
:nishiing of the evil of the latter. Indeed it is a
race which we are to exercise towards the persons
f men, not their opinions. Whilst it requires love
Dwards the persons of our fellowmen, it demands,
ur that very reason, that we oppose their errors.
teligiuus eontrov ray therefore, is the imperative
uty of those who are teachers among- the people.
it. Jude says: " Earnestly contend for the faith
ane lelivered to the Saints." St. Paul commands
'iothy: "To hold fast the form of sound words;
1 d to give himself to doctrine." And St. John
aches: " Whosoever transgresseth and abideth
iot in the doctrine of Christ, hahil not God. le
hat abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
he Father and the Son. If there conme any unte
ou, and bring not this doctrine, receive hitn not in
our house, neither bid him God-speed ; for he
hat biddeth him G',d-speed. is partaker of his evil
eds." Now, pernmit me to ssk, how shall men
rho are sent to preach thmis " dootrine of Christ,"
arnestly contend for it, but by vindicating it, when.
ssauhted? Aud what is thils but contro:er'y I
ad how shall they abide ini the doctrinte of Christ
ad-refuse to bidebose God-speed who teach error,
ut:1biy expcsing their errors and opposing them
'th the Truthi What is this but religious co'n
roversy ? It is manifest, therefore, according to
Io Bible, that where error is: pronmulgated for
ruth, we are in duty bound to oppose it-and hence
frten are necessarily led into religious controversy.
f, however, you still feel disposed to controvert this
sition, with sonme specious train of reasoning, let
ae cite the practice of tho Apostles as the best
',mentary on the didactic pcortio'n of Scripture.
Beginning with the XV Chtapter of Acts, you
,i I find where "eertain men" taught the brethren
I~e necessity of circumeision to salvation. " Paul
nd larnabus lad no small dissenuion and dispute
in with them ;" and neither party being con
inced they referred the maatter to a convention of
1 A postles and Elders held at Jertusalem. Even
nong them also, there was a dif'erenace of opirnion,
or was it settlcd until " there had been much die
uting.~
In the XVII Chapter you find St. Paul at A thens,
rhere he " disputed in the Synagogue with the
ews, .imd with the devout peisons. and in the mar
et daily with them that met with him." And in
be XIX Chapter lie is at Ephesus in the Syna
ogue, "and spoke boldly for the space of three
ionthms, disputing and persuading the things con
erning the Kingdom (the Church) of God." And
ter this he disputed " daily in the school of one
'yrannus," for " the space of tawo years ;" and by
hi nmeans, they that dwelt in Asia heard the word
f the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks."
I rather think therefore, that you were hasty in
tyling this ksin! of controversy, such " wrangling
nd discord" as exists among the worshippers of
anun on." A public defence of the truth of God
hen assaulted by the errintg, should not be con
>nded with the " biekerings" and famnily feuds
yo often found, as you bitterly lament, in congre
ations.
Indeed, the onaly means by which the lost unity
the Church can be restored, is by a firm yr t
mperate, a decided yet decent defence of divine
uth antd fearless exposure of error; that is by
ligious controversy.
I am willing to believe that you.referred in your
eamarks to the abuses of religious controversy too
rten inadulged in by Sectariatns. And I anm ready
>admit that thus qualified your strictures would
e just. But you failed to put in this saving clause.
'ou unqualifiedly condemned the controversy now
regressing in Greenville, on the subject of Infant
taptism. You say you "judge it to be a bitter
antroversay and that it arose in consequence of a
resbyterian lady havinag been immtersed by a Bap
it Clergyman."
Allow me to state that upon both these material
uints you arc maisinformned by the editor of the
ut hern Baptist. T his controversy did ntot grow
t of the Immersion of "a Presbyterian lady/tr
at directly in consequence of a violent attack
ade on Infat Baptism, by the Mlinister in charge
'th Baptist congregation, before this Lady eas
uersed. In defence of the fuandamenmtal, deetrine
Infant Baptism, I delivered two sermnonsr in
hih there was not the most distant personal allu
in. The defence then " of the principles of spirit
tI religion," according to the facts which are well
own in this community, camne from mec and the
Ie clergymen whto acted with me, having been
saulted by .the Baptist minister. We felt the
>ligation of applying thte emphatic language of
c I!eased Apostle:- "'But tho' we or an angel
em heaven, preaeh any other Gospel nto you,
an that which we have preached unto you, let
m be accursed. As we said before so say I now
;ain, if any prejeh any other Gospel unto you
an that ye have received, Let him be accursed.'t
al. E 8, 9.
Te next nistake into which your liaee been led
in regard ta the spirit of the controversy. @n
y part, there has beern no raneourous felig, nt~
Lteess of speech, but a eaudi4 diseassion of thme

If yout Informa t e isight:In liis represen

LICE I W. RIZPU VILA03.
Maes.o. Enrrons:-4TheVillage of Edgefield has
just passed through na excting municipal election
upon-tho Iusue or ".ilan.Mor "No License," to re
tail spirituous liquor. The "No iUeense" party
have elected-their- Caididates, who- will no doubt,
obey the authoritative wishes of the. thirty-five oe
reigns who. voted for them and reftue the License
which has heretofore een gntod in Edgefield from
tue immemoral.
Indeed, unless the late feetion was a mere farce,
the New Councili aitrefise license after the 1st of
January next,.when thepresent permit to retail ex
pires. No one imagines for a moment, that the re
cent election for Intendant and Wardens, was a pet
ty struggle in the disgoise of xo license for the con
temptible honor of membeiship to Council. But on
the contrary, it must be presumed, to have been a
fair trial of strength between two parties diametrical
ly opposed to each other, in regard to the principal
and policy of retail* and each predetermined to
carry out its own vi if siucessful in the election.
The test, in -the' 6ae election then, must mean
something, especially when we consider, that it has
long been a. cherished object of some of our Village
Reformers, who honestly believe in the perfectability
of human nature,-to p'revent retailing within the cor
porate limits of the Village.
These Reformers, who are mistaken, as I conceive,
in the doctrines they hold upon this matter, but the
purity of whose motives, I would be the last man to
assail, have frequently and zealously made the ques
tion of License or No Lcense in our nuniei'pal elve
tions before, but never successfully till this year.
Hence, I-take-it, thsthey will-hardly allow the pres
ent opportunity tocidspe, fbr trying the practical oper
ation of their fatvodb theory and that the New, or
"Dry" Council as.it-is called will refuse License.
Now Wissas. Eiroxsi; I do not claim to be the
Censor General of Edgefield, nor am I the chamnpion
of drunkards or drunkenness, but as the unalterable
advocate of temperance and sobrietyj I beg leave to
ofler a few words of reumstrance, against the im
policy and impropriedj oferefusing License.

while a fifth, more frfathe constituational necessity of
stimulus, than from a love of gain, for all lose instead
of making nmoney liygt resorts to gambling, which is
the most inteanse, wild and intoxicating excitement
of which the hauman-system is capable. But why
need I multiply applications of the principle. The
boy resorts to marbles, bell, or other play, froma this
necessity of his natarei Aiad we all know the tricks,
cheats, deceptions and hypoericies, such as " Extract
of Ginger" and other Yankee substitutes for liquor,
that I might name, whteh are daily practised, to evade
the Maine Liquor L~w and the Temperance Society
laws.
I am ready to allow that all stir'nulats, when em
ployed in exeia'they are todi Apt to'be, even hy the
most prudent meal, are very lanfriendly andl destructive
in their eff'ects. :I amiequafly trifling 'to admit, that
lignor by producing intpxication is perhaps the most
injurious and disgusting stimulusm that a man can ema
ploy-, especially in his social relations, or in different'
language, that it canses more injury to others, as
families, friends and neighbor.. But I utterly deny
that liquor is more injurious to man as an individlual,
than other stimuli. -Who can count the unnumbered
victims of Opium in China, or of Tobacco in Ameri
ca ; or who will deny the 'pornicious influences of the
Theatre, the Turf, the Cock-pit,' the Brothel, and the
thousand" Ihells" which
" Aro open night and day,
Smooth the descent and easy i. the way,"
in our towns and villiaes, of which thank God, we
have but few in the Soiuth.
I could wish that all liquor were displaced by
Tea and Coffee, those admirable beverages which
afford the advantage of stimulous without producing
intoxiesinm, or any of its evil consequences. In
deed the introduction of these charming drinks,
into civilized Europe, about two centuries ago, have
already wrought the most wvondorful change that
ever, took place in the. diet of- modern nations-a
change highly important both in a moral and pshysi
cal point of view. Great lovers of Tea anid Coffee
are, in fact, rarely drinker., hence the use of these
beverages has improved manners, as well as health
and morals. Raynal well remarks that the use of
Tea has contributed mor~e to maake the Chinese the
amost sober and temperate. people in the world, than
could the severest lames, the' most eloquent di,
courses, or the best treaties on morality. Tea and
Opium are the substitutes for spirits ini the Celestial
Empire, and they together with Cnfree and Tobac
en are gradually expelling liquor from this country,
which many soon be done in a great mecasure, if our
Legislators will only let things take their natural
course anid not attempt So retard their progress by
using coercion.
It should be remembered that Tea, Coffee, Tobac
co and Opium, have efi been brought into general
use very recentfy'-say within the last century.
Yet what have been their untold blessings even in
so short timec, in diminishing the supply and use of
the fiery liquid. Any intelligent merchant will tell
you, that the consumption of Tea, Coffee and To-*
baceo, has increased throughouit the eivilIzed world,
beyond that of any otfterarticle of commerce, en
eept Cotton. The thi-ee branches of Agriculture
now engaged in the prodOotto. of these stimnli
are almost inestimable In feln,-sinmply because thme
common sense of' mankind gladly seize upon any
ubstitute for liquor and itstIntoxication.
Temperance, or abstinence from the use of spirits,
as been: pa cached frome time ininnmmrial, yet what~
progress did it make, tlin "onmsoation" could be
fond in thme substitutes abore named, and I ven
ture to say that bat for*lsem; we would never have
heard of Father Marumzw'ad. Judge O'NeaL as

perance. Distilleries would be as numberless now,
as they were three centuries ago and their Nectar
would still be as universally quaffed and still be re
garded as ,
" The feast of reason and the flow of soul."
Therefore, I hope the enthusiasts for total absti
menee will pardon me, when I suspect them of being
slaves to Gambling, Tobaceo, Tea, Coffee or Opium
And I contend, that a proper feeling of philanthropy
should make them look with some charity upon
men of a different age, station, taste or temperamnt ut
with themselves, whose constitutional misfortune it
may be, to love liquor. better than any other stimu
las and to indulge in it to excess. It were perhaps
better fur mankind, if even Cinnamon, Clovis, Pep
per or other Barks and Spices could take tie plsei
of liquor, but as men's tastes are as various as their
faces, it is no use to dispute about them, or for one
man, or a act of men to say, what stimulus another
shall use or how he shall use it, whether in a grog
shop or in his private parlor.
Despotic Europe has never submitted to it, and
of course it is idle folly to expect that ever Repub
lican America will bow her neck to the many head
ed monster of a bare majority of reformed sinners
turned persecuting saints. Tyranny is tyranny,
whether practised by one man or five hundred, as

wero plundering the British subjects of their rights.
And especially will the people of the South resist
and even resent such an encroachment upon their
private and social rights, as prescribing to them what
they'sliall drink, or inhere they shall drnk it.
Here at the South, the language of dictatio:
-even, can rarely be used with impunity, much less
the act. Our people are too proud, free and brave,
and have too much individuality to allow any such
intermneding and prescription. The language of
the true Southerner generally is "Let me alone,
touch me not, keep away with your Socialism, Agra

It is a trite remark that man is a social animal, un
able to brook solitude, who when lie meets h:s fellow
and particularly his friend, is anx:ous to welcome
him cordially and warmly in& somie stimubating pledge
-henee the offer of a cigar, or the inv-tation to
drink, which are the two social vices of every peo
pie that can get the means of enjoying then, for they
are enjoyments unless abused, and necesciry evi!s
even then.
I hold that the keeping of a grog shop is not only
a legalised traffic, but a necessary one, especially in
oumr village, where thousands nssembe and want a
dram but not a bottle. It ill-becomes this lit:e Capi
tol to tell the people of the District, that they shall
drink.no liquor here in grog sholip, where they can
select from a variety of beverages, and] have an at
tendant with glasses, sugar and other flavors or sea
sonings. Such language might do for Granitevlle,
an exc!usively nanufacturing town and j.r:vate pro

MiEss.. FEmvoas :-The number of men who
have signalized themaselvre, as bemeactors of man
kind, and who have been found to disregard their
own interest for the good of nmankind g-nerally,
has been very anmall. But occasionally we see
one, whoi like time immmortal Fabricius, soars ab- #c
the conmmon pursuits of men, and labors exclusively
for time good of hmis country. Such men are indeed
amo(ngst imen as lighmt houses on sea coasts to mnari
ners, directinig the traveller thirough storms, amid
hurricanes, and nmidnight darknmess to a port of
safety amnd repose.
But M1sssas. Enavoas, we trust that there are,
even at Edgefmeld Court House, some such genme
rousa sommls, as nmay be moved by a noble sympathy to
aidl their brethren in distress. It would certimnhy
confer a benefit on all time citizens of this District,
excepting a few personms at time village amid in its
vicinity, to have the District divided. It would
diminish the great pressure of business transaeted
ini our Courts and give greater facilities to all those
who are desirous of having their business attended
to with speed, and hemnce, if it did not bring the
Court Hlouse nearer to all,.it certinmly would benefit
all in this way. Instead of two weeks Court and a
call Court as wo now are compelled to have, thc
busimness would be doine in a much shorter time.
Can ay one believe that our District, I resemting
as it now does, an area of muore thatn sevenateen
hmundredl squate miles and containming a popualationa
of nearly forty thmousand, will continue long withm
out being dividedi But it is said that it will din
turb the conmprotmise in our Legislativo arrange
mnents ; yet every person who is acegnainted with that
arrangement knows very well that a Judicial Dis
trict will not affect it int the least possible mamaner.
Our State has' conferred the same bemnefit that we
are nowv asking, on Districts a little larger than ours,
and we believe shme will nmot be partial in thmis nmatter,
counld we be fairly represented. But w hcn our
own memnbers oppose it how camn we expect success ?
If they will give us a steady, fim and vigorous pull
at the wheel and we fail, thmen, and not umatil then,
wve shlall believe that the meambers from the low
country are sternly opposed to our project.
Fellow-citizcns, let us be united ini our efforts to
accomamodate oar District, but shoul we fail, it
will omnly be a failure of thmat kinmi, which has char
acterized mamny great and good men-namely, eon

lie. These secret enemies, not satisfied with de
eiying and maligning our School whenever and
wherever they could do so with impunity, have
made a crowning effort to crush us by reporting far
and near during the vacation just ended that our
School had so dwindled into insignificance as to
render it doubtful whether we would open this Ses
sion. We know not the sources from whence this and
the almost numberlee other reports in circulation
have emanated, nor will we trouble ourselves to
trace them out,-it were a bootless task unworthy
of our self-respect. Neither hare we the means of
a icertnining how far our interests have suffered by
these slanders, but it aflords us no little gratification
to be able to say that we not only closed last Session
with a full School, but have also opened the present
one with sixty Scholars, and that we are daily re -
ceiving accessions to our number. So encouraging
is the prospect, we have engaged an additional
Prufessor in the French and Italian languages, and
are also preparing to have speedily erected a more
commodious building for the accommodation of out
Scholars.
We desire to make our School in every respect wor
thy the patronage of the citizens of the District.. IT
doing this we shall seek for no extraneous props
nor extravagant encomiums of our capability for
instructing-nor any unwarranted means, our course
shall be a straight-forward and honest one. Our hope
for success will rest upon the proficiency of the schol

produced qu:te- an efiect on our Market. Sales have
been made in the lwut few days., at from J to J decline

the decline is altogether attributable to the character 01
