Ely.i EDGEFIELD, S. C, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1, 1852. TO OUR READERS. WE design now making a most earnest but respect fut dun. How shall we prorced i It is the custom of newspaper subscribers to suffer thexe little appeals on the part of their publisher to pttss by them as the idle wind. And it may be so In this case. But we hope hot-wE tIOPE Nor. Dear readers, if the laborer i worthy of his hire in any Worldly calling, it is ours. And we most truly need our little reward at this time. We work for you day and night. Our eyes arestrain ed, oat every nerve is exerted, our brains are ransack ed to give you satisfaction. If we win your applause, we feel lightened in spirit. But applause alone gives no relief to onr bodily wants. It places upon our table no comfortable viands-it does not renew our thread, bare vestments-it does not pay the schooling of our children-it does not enable its to contribute ont Mite to the Gospel cause or to the relk-f of the necessitous -it does not give us the means of doing our part as. we would wish to do, in the public improvemebt of our community. You n-ty ask, worrld thepaitry son of our submeriptiort enable yon' to do all this? We answer emphaticalIy yes. If each one, who owes us, would cach advance hii " paltry sum," instead of be. Jng pinched we would be easy. Instead of being con tracted we wrould beconte liberal, instead of repining ne- could bear the " burthen and heat of the day," in your service as well as our own, with equanimity, with energy, with animation. Generous readers! remember our wants and do that which is right! g7 Oua readers wilt perceive that M1r. II. A. KENDi icK: has removed to his brick store., where he has opened on a large and improved scale. The busi ness willbe- conducted by Mr. II OeDGEs, Agent. We trust that Mr. . will meet with that success to which his enterprise and ability entitle him. MORE RAIN. ON last Thursday and Friday we were again del uged with rain. It poured incessantly during the whole time, both night and day. The creeks in our vicinity were swollen into small rivers, overflowing their entire levels, anid doing considerable damage to the various mills. The mail was not carried through to Abbeville on .accountof the freshet on .Turkey creek. The streams however are now within their usual banks, having fallen even quicker than they rose. DANCING SCHOOL. Ora readers will find on another column an unusu ally polite invitation to a " Cotillion Party," to be given on next Thursday, at M1r. Pes's Hotel. The -invitation is (as we miderseand) extended by the Managers og behalf of Mr. DE1aEaazs'. This Gentleman intends, provided lie cat secure asufficient number of pupils, to commence a series of instructions in dancing. We trust that the Young Ladies will avail them selves of the profyred enjoyment on Thursday next. UNINTENTIONAL ERROR. Stce the publishing in our paper of the late elec tion returns, our attention has been called to a mistake made on the vote given for the difTrerent candidates for the office of Tax-Collecter at Red Hill. Maj. F. W. BuaR, was published as having received only seven votes, whereas he received a larger number, viz:furry four. This mistake was altogether unintentional on the the part either of the Editors or Proprietor of the Advertiser. Indleed at a box immediately above the one referred to. Mr. BeaT was given thme nuxmher to which lie was entitled at the former. The oversight was entirely typographical. Had the error met otur eye before this time we should have taken great plea. ure in according to Mr. Bra-r the justice due him, and which is hereby extended. A CADEMIICA L. Wa take great pleasure in announcing to the citizen of Edgefield and of the adjoining Districts, that the Trustees of the Male Academy at this pxlace,have cxceedd ineggn h~srie fahglapa-J ensuing year. This gentleman is Mr. L ErrNPca, a late graduate of our College, and as we nre informned by one of the Trustees now in Columbia, a scholar in every way qualified for the arduous duties of teaching. Mr. L has determtned to make teaching his profession, and as some object to the efilciency of any one in that pursuit, who does not pursue this courrse, he is willing to enter into obligation that such is his sole object. W~e mention these facts gladly ; and we trust ou r citizens generally will now give oumr school that en larged patronage which we are determined to merit. Further particulars will be given by advertisement: next week. THiE OLIVE BRlANCH., Wrafeel bound this wveek to give this paper a very favorable notice. It is known by our readers to rank among thme first literary weeklies of our coutntry. No paper more regularly supplies its full quota of amuse ment and instruction than dloes the " Olire Brtanch." 4Olive Branch' It is a becautiful name-a name of pecace-she ancient emublemt of pleasant intelligence. This "Olive Blranuch" lays a rightful claim to the sou briquet it has assumed, andI conunntially vintdicates its conservance with the goodl motto therein implied. We commnendl it to our reade'rs. It is published ini Boston at $2 per annum. STAND FRO3M UDIER, SAM ! Br the following note received from an acquain tance, who, lives tn the clay lands of old1 Saluda, it wouild seem that our sand hills are not the best, for some things we brag on after all. Mlr. MIcGaaw's potato has it by odds; and we rather despair of seeing it made to kick the beam by anything of the kitnd Pinetucky can throw in the scales. It seems however that this was a red potato. Now, although we, (that is, SAas MAmtsnt and the rest of us,) may be compelled to yield to this long, ganglinig species, yet we rnsist still stick up to our yellow yams, against the world, not so much for enormity of size, hut for those sumpe rior qualities af soundness and sugary sweetness. But to thme note. Ihere it is: Messrs. Editors: SASt Minsni is beat. You tolhd your readers somec weeks past of a potato you had seen, raised by thme gentleman above named, which, if 1 recollect ri:;ht, weighed 71hs. WVell, Sirs. yester day I saw a red potato, raised1 by your ol neighbor near Mr. Willing, MA-r-rur~w McGa.tw, which wveigh ed Lli lbs. It is kept by Mr. Mc'axwv thr arty per son to see. ie, his lady, atnd Mr. WAe. Rot.t~s, otr school-teachmer, can testify to the truth of this state moent. Beat it, if you can, Mr. Mast! Yours, A. M. G. COLUMBIA DURI!NG TIlE SESSION. WVe learn :hmat our seat of Government is already crowded to overflowing with visitors from all parts of the State,.eagerly interested in various ways. Sonic arec striving for the offices ini the gift of the Legisla ture. Some arc helping those who are thus striving.. Some are engaged ini seeking that pleasure which grows otit of thme excitement of the busy Capital. Some are endeavoring before the Court of A ppeals to reverse what they consider the unrighteous decrees and deci sins of the Circuita. Some are dropping into the MIIohe in the Wall" or the " Exchange," if such pha cesn are in existance this winter, (anid if not, into simi. har establishments) warming the inner man with hot whiskey punches, apple toddies, el cerm, looking inan the faces of friends, whom they hav, met from dalb~renxt quarters, and smiling upon each other with the genial, delight insepanable from this annual ttneet ing in these old and well remembered scenes, Some are there in comfortable lodgings at our old friend I1UY-r', or at MAvnts's, or at the American, happy uinder the reflection that some talented son has just graduated in our noble College with high honors, and even more happy jn the anticipation ni the brillianS display that son is to make at thme approaching coin maencement. 'The Legislators are marching to and fro in the State Ihouse at all hours -of the day, passingj and repassing each other with that susaie, in modo, psetuhiar to trite Carolina gentlemen, of whom thero ass always a goodly number in. Columbia at this gay season. Thie young men of our beloved Alma Maer are walking the streets in their best "rangers," imagin ing themselves the " observed of all observers," which ii, a.natural and allowable weakness,, common to al most all who have ever felt the fiull force of the ad vantege. ecured b- a successful transit through the. Junior and Senior experience or that Institution. The beauteous belles of Carolina are there too, in all their easy grace and joyous intelligence, calling in from day to day at Mrs. COOPER'S or Mrs. WALTZR'Bd or at GRACEY'S, or at RADCLIFF'S in busy and ecstatic pre paration for the gaieties which are at hand. How Mhany sapient suggestions will now fall from the lips of grave Senators, as they gather in the 'gentlemen's sitting rooms" after dinner! low many vigorous repartccsawd sparkling witticisms will scintillate from OUr talented yootng Legislators, as they talk of the 1 dearpeople" and of the " honor of South Carolina!" flow many pretty sayings are in readiness, to express touching emotions or "outre" ideas, as the case may be ! How many agreeable friendships are now to be suddenly formed, friendships which, though many die with the passing hour, yet some of them endure through years and years, as our own experience pleas antly testifies! How many splendid iats, glossy black coats and tily boots wilf now be donned by the young bloodsof whatever profession or on whatever business! How many "sweet" ribbons, "charming" dresses, and "exquisite" straw-colored gloves will now be appropriated by the dear tender sex! Hlow many "glorious" Havanas will now he puffied in luxurious indolence by happy loungers! 'Twere vain to com pass the thousand and one appanagesof pleastire which ever tend to make old Columbit, dnring the Session, re of the ntmost charming little towns on the Continent of Amevrica. For many years it has been our custom to frequent Columbia during this cleerful month, and we regret to think that we shall scarcely be able to do so now. Our advice to all who have the means and inclination is--go down fAr a few (lays every year,if convenient. Besides the various means of enjoyment you will there find freely and hospitably placed forward, you will doubtless be edified and instructed. You will meet with your fellow-citizens from different districts whom you will scarcely meet anywhere else. You will find out much more than you do at present of the high character of otir people. You will ob!serve with pleas ure the decortm, dignity anal intelligence of the Legis Tature. You will witness the propriety of pomp which attends our College performances. You will hear, perhaps, some orations, lectures, speeches, sermons, &c., &c., which may be worthy of being treasttred in your rememibrance. In fine, you will return home generally nith more enlightened and liberal notions. And we therefire conclude by repeating our advice, 1 go down." LEGISlATIVE SVNOPSIS. O. Monday the 22d inst., the Senate convened. The number (of Senators present was small, but a quo. rum. The accustomed courtesies between the two flouses passed, and a committee consisting of Messrs. MosEs and 3 ARst.S Lt. waited on the Governor for the purpose of informitng himi that the Senate had con vened. Notice was then given by 31r.

The names of the candidates in each District or Parish are forwarded to the Governor, whoassisted by the Comptroller and Secretary of State, adds to the votes received by them, the slave population of the said Districts or Parishes, in the rates of three votes for every five slaves. Thie Governoar andl ithe officers above mnentioneda, are iten to "naddl together thme dif fernt vaotes of all thie Parishes anal Districts of time State, anal to determine who have received thme largest number oif votes in thme whole State." 3Mr. Hlus-r gave notice of sundry hills relating to thae Courts of the State.

By maotion,it was lail! uponathe table,nd the House adjourned. ________ CONGR ESSIONAL. Coa.'mpss commences its regular Session on next Afotaay. On that day Washington will again be alive with interest and excitement. Thes President, together with the Senators and Representatives, frota the respective States, wvould of themsel'ves render the Capitol an unusual centre of attraction. Beside. these,. however, thme various Mlinisters, Consuls, Chtarge D'Afiirs, &c., intermingled with fantouts Generals and thme ininumerable Magnates of our hand, wvill add greatly to the ushtering in of the opening Session. Along with tihe Intelligence, Beatuty and Chivalry of our cotuntry, there will also be present a caoutless and diversified throng of braoken down politicians, fortuine seekers, treasusy pltanderera, petty applicants for in significana monetary ofces, and h'umble petitioners for lucrative situations, forming an anomalous crowd of those, whom CURRAN happily termed "'the dis ounted Cavalry," marching witha eager strides and ats intent upoa the pillaging of the Pitblic Trea sury. Perhance a most noted' and remaarL-able gentl'eman,. heretofore known as FRAN'KtiN PIEaCE, will there exhibit himself to thme inqutirinag gaze and anxious looL of this most terrific multitude. If so, we by no means mnvy his flat appearanee, fos we wsoul as soon have ~ptit dindue dancinag his inkrnal horn pipe upon eure e...ei.n....o the: ra.... of .t.. ......., as b.. sujctt the uncalled for courtesies, impertinent compliments, undesired introductions, and insolent familiarities of the Ilydra-heided Democracy. His attention must of course be equally shared by Whigs, Democrats, Freesoilers, Barnburners, Old Hunkers, Young Amer. lea, Old Fogies, et al, than whom, a more frightful phalant nerve disturbed the dreams of FAItARELLOS himself, and from whose clutches lie may esenpe with no less bufets than did IIOiLAcE's Lordly electionecrer from the frequent thrasts of his hired observer. The Senate, we presume, ivill present no feature of interest beyond that of the past Oesslon, until Mr. Toostas takes his seat as Senator. Then look out for squalls! Alas for SEw.ARD and SUMNL.R! They will be literally flayed alive or besprinkled with " Attic Salt," and sharp invective, such as Archilochus never dreamed of even while fury armed him with the swift iambles. But we are too far in advance of time, nor can we tell what may happen between the present and the first of March 1853. In the House of Representatives, however, Mr. BENTON will take his seat simultaneously with the commencement of the Session. Mr. B. Imagines him self (as will be gathered from hle own language) the sole survivor of his dsttnguished countrymen, and presunes that, like Altas of old, the whole world rests upon his sloulder. Whether this be true or not, he will undoubtedly arrogate to himself the lead in the House, and will think it not only expected, but also incumbent upon him to furnish the great programme, as it were, for his fellow Representatives. lie is an questionably a man of great ability, and, if he should I succeed in getting about one-half of the House against him, we wall have a deal of rare sport. In the English Parliament it is customary to cough down those Members, who are inclined to consume unnecessarily an unprofitably the time of that body. This, although an unusual and apparently impolite practice, has nevertheless, when considered, a great many advantages; ana, although we would not have our couniryman to adopt it, still we think something of the kind would have a salutary eflcet. . Such a restraint as the Edinhnrg Review, in the daysof Jr.FFRT atid LAMBE, exercised over the then prevailing habit of cacorthes scribendi might now be applied to that of cacocthes loquendi in our country. with marked eflect. Some such critic is necessary in order to lop olT that useless number of debaters whose abilities are overrated, whose faults are overlooked, and whose matter and argument, if any, are received without scruile or consideration. Something by which weakness may be pitied or laughed at and forgotten, garrulousneas exposed and overruled, and perverted abilities reprehended and rightly directed. Such a rentraint could certainly exercise no evil in fluence or be productive of bad efrects. Indeed we never knewof but one instance where criticism proved injurious or fatal and that was in the case of poor KEATS, Who is said to have died of grief and mortifi cation received from a savage attack upon him by the English critics. With this single exception the caus tic dose has always acted well, indeed few men were ever composed of elements so delicate and tender as was KEATS. and ilterefore few, in fact none, within our knowledge, have suffered like him. The robust and athletic ScoTT, with hid steady nerve, bold spirit, frank bearing and genial kindness never could have been injnred by a critical review. The passionate and wayward yvnos quickly rose superior to his cri tics, and wielded their own weapons so gallantly against them as soon to have entirely unhorsed them. The wierd and sensuous SuzHELL tndonbtedly felt the sting for a moment, more however oU behalfor KEATS than himself, foralluding to the criticism of EovuI toX, ie saysof the critic r "You, one of the meanest, have wantonly defaced one of the noblest specimens of the workmanship of God. Nor shall it be your excuse that, murderer as yntt are, you have spoken daggers, but used none." Pour ToM 31ooRE felt perhaps more than all of them, indeed lie was composed of more pentetrale stuff as the fact of his having challenged JEFFRY will sutfliciently prove, and afterwards Lord Bv aoN for alluiling to " Little's leatdless pistol.'' His intelleet, however, raised him pre-emitnent above eve rythaing, andi las left him an undyinag name. This apparent digression is otnly to substantiate one propositiona, that real ability cannot be kept down, whlile imbecility atnd even mnediocrity, together withI that large clasN '' with just enongh of learning to isi quote," mighat be by thte severity anal saream of their reviewvers, deterred from flooding the public with their crude and undigested stuff. No one really euntitled to *aank among -the Pusaroae or.Parnassus, was ever kiI ed by the " paper bullets of the hrain," for although many of them saw their most cherished anal sparkling gems melt beneath the acidity of criticism, like Cleo p latra's pearls dissolved in vinegar, still it only suggested the labour of correctioni, and served as a spur for their jadled and flagginag Pegasns. Indeed '.e catn safeiy assert that a modern .critic would lie of great service in our cotuntry. If such a cheek was placed upon the debaters in Conagress our speakers woiuld be improved int every poinit of view. It would no lonager be atn arena, where those, who had exhtausted their little store of learning might, gladiator lik-, instratet each other itt the scietnce of puigilistics. Gulleys anid Greguuons wvould be out of the question, nor wudhntl the Session he employed itt thte discus sion of foreigtn and irrevelenut questions. In fact we are of the opinion that nothing short of acttaal caiterey can cuare thaat horrible rabies forspeak ing witha whtich oatr present age is iniflicted. Correspondence of the Adverttser.

But she, too, is taught a lesson she never learned at school-sho begins to realize the d:fierence be tween the real and the' ideal. She soon finds the world is not altogether under her control, and tlat she fills only the ordinary space allotted to mortals on this busy, bustling and selfish world. Peevish from disappointment, and vexed from wounded pride, she turns away from the giddy throng with blighted hopes, and sick at heart, sighing to herself-" Oh, that some desert were my dwelling place."

ARTVAL OF. THE CRESCENT CITY. INTERESTING FROM IIAVANA. The U. S. mail steam ship Crescent City, H1. K. Davenport, U. S. N. commander, arrived at New York at half-past 4 o'cloek Monday morn ing, from New Orleans, via Havana, leaving the latter port on the afternoon of the 16th instant. She has experienced a succession of heavy north I ern gales. It wilf'be seen that she landed her passengers and mnils on this occasion, though Purser Smith was not allowed to land, and it was declared the steamer would not bo allowed to come in again wih him on bo-ird. The an I nexed particulars are given by the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, of Monday. The Crescent City arrived off the -Moro,-on the 15th instant, after sun set, and had to re main outside until the' next morning. The Spanish steam frigate Isabel Segundo, which was cruising off the port, saioko the C. C., and after learning her name and destination, passed on. After entering, the port, to which no objec tion was made, the Captain of the port caine along side, and informed. Capt. Davenport thitm the mails and all.persons conld land, except Purser Smith. Upon Captain Davenport expressing himself pleased at the termination of the ditlienlties heretofore existing, the Captain of the port as sured him that it was onlyfor this trip, but should Mr. Smith return in'the ship rrom New York, no communication with the shore would be al lowed. Captain D, expressed his regret at this, and remarked that the diifficuly was becoming more complicated by this measure. and al:hongh the right to exclude any individual from the island, whom-the authorities might consider prejudiced to its tranquility, was not denied, lie could not concede the same to the Capitai it Gen eral to prohibit the mail and all passengers, simp~ly because one,4person ott board was ob noxious to his: Excllenerv.. To this no reply. was made. Capt. D.:ven poart was told wvhen lie left Havana for New Orleans on the outwvard trip, that the ship would not be permitted to enter the port on hter returnm if Mr. Smith camnejn her. Bunt it seemns the Captain General s inducd to ebanige his minid a few days pr tous to her arrival, in con ideration that thae ynge would n(ot be comn pleted until h'r ri-e r to New York, and that nto change could fa place in the officers before that time. . On the u , t . .in-Davenport re ceived a note from Mlessrs. Drake & Co., en elosing a copy of one to them from Martin Gat lano, the politieni Secretairy of~ the Catptaina Gen eral. The letter,. together with one from Capt. Davenport to Messrs. Drake & Co., wi.t be found buelow. Thetre were three English war steamers in Havana, anid the report was that they were wait ing to see the result of the Creseent City niinir, mny stories being in eirenlation~ about her being tired into, &c. Judge Sha~rkey, the Americant Consaul, a gen tlieman who has upon all occasions proven haimi self worthy of the high trust reposed in him, ahled on 'board the Crescent City nand had a long eenversation with Capt.

Our comnmunity, somewhvlat famniliamr with the occurrence of rairoad accialents, was startled oin Saturday with the announcement of one which involved death anid oilier bodily injury. The particulars are thus given in the Banner of Sat. urdav:* "Last evening as the Camden train proceeded from the .lunction towards the WVateree, the bank and cenivii near Clarkson's t urn-out being lo'osene~d by thme washing rains, the cars were pre eipitaited over the bank. Thme venerable (:01. Rlichmard Singlet on,:amd his gramnd-somi Robert. son of the late Marion D~eVeaux, were instaiitly killed. Mr. Braidley, of Sumter, received sutch serious injuries that his life is despaired of. Young 3Mr. Mavr~mnt had a heg broken. A geni tlemnen from New York had his claviele broken. Mr. Shiiver,4he baggage master. was bruised badly. The conductmr, Mr. Seatitling, was bad lv injured. TIwo Germans, who were on I Im c'ars are missing, supposed to be buried tunder the wvre'ek.

It is perfe'ctly refreshing to meet a cheerful oman with his faice covered'all over with a broad homiest smile. Such a facee is always an inidex to an honest, generous and kind heart, within. Th'le very atmnosph~ere ini which such a man moves, breathes chmeer fuliness, and all about hinm are happier for his preseince. lie looks on thme bright side of the picture, htopes all will be for the best, and rises above mnisformune; not stutTering small and trilling difficulties to harrass and distuib his mind. To the drooping moping invalid, the comnpatiionship of such a matu is wvorth iniore than all thme drugs in Christen donm, or even a voyage over the wvaters." Cheerfulniess is thme secret of good health. Thle old saying of " langh and grow fait," is full of~ philosomphy. The cheerful man dont complain and growl becauso the weather is too hot or too cold, two wet or too dry; but thinks it will all soon be right again. lIe laughs because he is cold, or because he, is almtost melting with heat. If thme market is (lull, lie is ghad that he huai sold his pro duce before the price fell or if lhe ha~s not sold, Ito thinks there will lie a change in the matrket-the price will lie better before lie sells. And should it happen that lhe ha~s to take a low price at last, he laughs at him self -for being bit, for it is " as well to laugh as cry." Such a man is generally honest, and always generous. Ile laughs at his own disappointments rises above trilling dilliculties ; his mind is not forever employed in lanmenting his ownm troubles, and conse quently he ha~s time to consider the necessi ties and sufferinigs of othiers-a soul eapa cos etnough to sympathmise with those in distress, anid a hand liberal enoogh to sup ply their wants. It is true, a man muay. "smile and be a villain still ;" but it is easy to distingush between thme sordonic grn anid the open, generous and merry laugh of the truly1 ..heerful man .-Due Wnest Tlelcscone. SuMIDE.
