SOUTH CAROLINA (dNFERENcE. This body assembled at Snmterville, on Wed uesday. the 5th inst., and closed on Tuesday evening, the 12th inst. Bishop Capers presided, gre:tly to the s:tisfaclion of the members. The session was very pleasant and harionious. South Carolina maintaiins her proud position melong her sister Conferences wit h regard to her missionary collect ions-amounting the past year to Tieenty-two Thousand Dollars. The inei bership within the bounds of the Conference is, Whites, 32,658: Colored, 40,560, showing atn ihcrease of membership the past Conference year of 265 whites, and upwards of 3,000 col ored members. An important movement was made in relation to the establishment of a Female College in tbis State, the resolution adopted, being an in vitation for propositions to establish stich an in stitution in any central or suitable place in the State. Columbia, we trust. will not be back ward in this moviement; she has the advantages of location, health, and means to recommend its location satnongst us. The following members of the-C'o;nrence-have been appointed a Com ittittee on the subject: Rev. W. M. Whitnan, D. D., H. H. Durant. I. A. C. Walker, C.-Betts, and W. A. Gamtewell. The report of the Trustees- of the-Wofor College, in Spartanburg, states-that the College buildings are now in progress, and that the insti tution will-probalby commence operations early in the ensuing year. It will be seen by the sub joined., that the Rev. C. Murchison has been ap pointed to the Washington Street, and Rev. H1. C. Parsons to the Marion Street Church in this town. The next Conference will be held in Newberry. LIST OF APPOINTMENTS. CHARLESTON DISTRICT-Charles Betts, Pre siding Elder. CHARLESTON : Cumberland-Whiteford Smith, J. T. Whitman. Trinity-Claudius H.

C. WEDNESDAY JANUARY 19, 1853. OUR EIGHTEENTH VOLUME. Wrii ftiis number begins the eighteenhim volume of the Efgefield Adrerliser. In atnnounocing it, we re. frain from the usual proflessions as to what we intend to do in the way of " turning over a new leaf" &c., preferring to be judged by the real advances we may find ourselves able to make from time to time. Our thanks are due to the mass of our subscribers for their very liberal support, and we hereby tender the same to them with feelings of real gratitude. Our confi dence is strong that they will not only continue their patronage, but be tite means of giving us a large in crease of subscribers. This is about all we have to say upon the subject at present. We would indite a word to delinquent subscribers if we thought it cuttld do the slightest good. Our attention ias been drawn to an editorial of a late Fairfield IHcerald, in which our cotemporary proposes to publish a list of confirm ed delinquents as well as one of paying patrons. We are not disposed to do any thing of the kind, but as a " dernier resort" it is perhaps worth trying. We'll think on it a week or two more. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE FOURTH CONGRES SIONAL DISTRICT, Ir is with a high degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to announce confidenly to our fellow-ciii zen.: of the Fourth District that the name of the Ilon. F. W. Picnrss is again before them for that branch of Congress in nhich lie formerly served for a period of nearly eleven years. We thiik it barely necessary to state (in explanation of his recent retirement from the field) that lie had never entered it with his own consent, and did not venture to suppose that so great a desire for his sers ices still existed as ihas since been manifested. Being convinced now that a feeling ol this kind prevails in various sections, lie has nol.iamg to oppose to the wishes of those who place so kinmd ai appreciation upon his former efrorts in their behalf; and, if chosen again to the very trying and honorable position above indicated, will strive to do them faith ful service. In making this annomcement, we have but a word or two of our own to add, and, in what we say, all intention of depreciating or underrating others is dis elaimed. Our view of the whmle matter is, that the daty is come when time Southern Country derhmnd's, fbr her wealfre, that the highest ability and the most eivens-ive experience of her sons be placed in our National Couicils. Questions of the deepest moment are arising, upon which the fate of our institutionm and the safety of our very firesides depend. We feel assured, that, while South Carolina is looking to her Southern sisters with an earnest hope that all of them will be found lending to the common cause men, prepared with infrmation and fortified by experience, to meet the discussion of the highest and most ei barrassing propositions, they, in turn, will be expect ing from South Carolina that she too will contributc her share, with a full perception of the heavy re sponsibility that rests upon her. Under these coun victions, we are free to say that the noimination (no%% renewed,) of Col. F. W. PcKENs meets our un qualified approval, because it is the nomination- ol one, known for the strength of his intellect and ite ripeness of his experience, not only to our Sectior and State but to the Country at large. And, whilt not denying to others whatever of merit may be theirs, we respectfully call upon our fellow-citizem of Newberry, Laurens, Lexington, Abbeville and Edgefield to remember the tried services and weigi well thme pre-eminent claims of time distinguishmed ge-n tleman, whlo is now fully presented for thmeir suffraget at time election to be held on the 21st of next monmthm. One othmer retnark. Knowing this annoumncement to be a matter of importance, and feeing that oum own observatio'ts are prompted by an honest sene of ottr duty as an humble member of time South Carolina Press, (and not bsy anty private partiality or personal preference,) we request our co-temporariet in the Congressional Distriet, antd also the South Carolinian, to copy at an early day. GREENVILL.E AND COLUDIBIA RAIL.ROAD, SosmE Imundred and fifty of thme Stockhmolders in this Road hmave held a meeting at Newberry village, whmere it was determined to assess time shares of all te sumpport and carry on time work. Thmis- looks like standing sqtuare to time front, with a determination to mnet and overcome all dificuhmies. But for suchm in domnita-ble spirit, thmis project wotuld lonmg since hauve beent an explioded bubble. MIen, whio c-atn hmold on to their faitht so tenacioumsly, amidst time moust adverse circummstances, deserve suicess, and we hmopme thmey will yet come out triumphlantly. But what is this?! We hmave just opened an Ander son Ga:ette, which states thmat " fifty sihares of thme Greenville and Colunmbia Railroad Stock sold for only $305 on a credit of twelve months." Thmis is s different view of the question altogethmer. We hav'nt a word more to say. MIELANCHOLY BEREAVEMII-NT.

Ti opinion seems to be gaining ground that the world of man is rapidly approximating the perfection of its destiny. There are Christians who imagine they already perceive tihe incipient symptoms of the fulfilment of tie last grand prophecies of Iloly writ. There are philosophers n% ho exult in time belief that they have lived to see the dawn of that era in which mind is to expand itself beyond its hitherto recog nised limits and almost "1 pass the flaming bounds of time and place." The scholar, arising from his last lucebration, rejoices that all those intrieacies, which fretted the patience and defied tihe ingenuity of the past, are now made plain as time noon-day's stn ani only deplores that his occupation will soon be gone amid the broad Uf*lae of universal intelligence. The mechanic, regarding the astonishing advance of recent improvements and the singular application of agen cies heretofore neglected, deems that ie himself may possibly witness tile consummation of all skill. The poet too, " in rapt liioft lost," beholds Parnassus of old " with all its thousand rills," sinking into the darkness of by-gone barbarism, while such terrestrial things as bowers and lady-loves, as " rocks and hills and nodding groves" and warriors in plate of mail, are swept forever from the inspired page by the ethereal delights of that spirit-land which has at length been revealed to' his sublimated soul. And even the poor musician, while prolon3ing with wild ecstasy tile difficult strains to which the labors of his life have been devoted, fancies himself not far re moved from those exalted notes to which angels listen with rapture. Taking all things together, it is indeed a true thoigh a trite remark that, in some respects, we live in an age of wonders. It is no less true that, in view of these wonders, the generatioi to which we belong is inflated with the imost extravagant notions of its superiority to every preceding one. With a spirit of presimption, nearly allied to blasphemy, men daily boast that they have drawn the lightning from on high and niade it subservi::nt to tfieir every wish. With a feeling of pridie, akin to that which hurled angels from before tihe tlrojne of Ileaven, they vaunt their belief that another century inay abrogate the list of impossibilities. " Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" said a wise man thousands of years ago, and from that lay to the present the truth of the proverb has never been more fully illustraued than in its application to these fan tastic notions. What thouaghm the shrill whistle of the ever-work ing, never-tiring engine may soon startle the sium. hers of every cottager! What though the mighty steam ships dash over the ocean wave wi:h double their poresent velocity ! What though time tusiness of a tihousand is accomplished by the labor of a hun dred ! What though the morning news of St. Peters burg may be read in San Francisco at noon! What though time wronatut may even guide a winged palace through the air and ride above the storm! Shall we boast of such seemingly great achievements of modern civilization, while it remains a serious pro. blem whether they have not arisen upon the ruin of the masses? Shall we pride ourselves upon the dazling developments of power which pile high the already well-filled coflers of the capitalist while, as a consequence of the same, millions live and die in beggary and dogradation 1 Shall we regard those thigs as blessings which are, to say the least of them, co-evil and con-comitant with the rapid in. crease of human misery ! Shall we bow down in blind adoration of the Iron and Steam divinities of the day, which may at last prove to be but the off ipring of Mammon and the Evil one ? It may seem to some that we are dealing in hyper bole while speaking thmus of thme prominent chmaractmer istics of thmis ultilitarian age. With stuch wve womuld gladly make issue upon facts and occurrences whmichi time wvorld is at thmis time winessing. CIAIarvan 2. In is a matter of general notoriety that thte accumu. latiomn of individual wealthm is time predominant pas sion of our day. In time ambition of thme ra'oneyed aristocrat to outstrip his rivals in the race of gain, thmere is but little of thme milk of hmuman kimndness left. Whmile struggling for this superiority, hie thinks noth ing of thme instruments he employs, farthmer thatn they are absolutely essential to hii s uccess. .h is them inhie rent nature of time pursuit in whiich lie is engaged to beget thme most demoralizing selfishnmess-a selfishmnese which grasps at whatever means will promote its ends, without one thoughat ias to time increase of lhui man happiness. Th'lis spirit of accmulation andi thme ra~ge for imnveniin have arisen together and are mu tiamlly fmosering eanch othmer. Trrue it is (anti "pity 'tis, 'mis true") they are powerful agents and, thus combiined, are bearimng " this amajestic world before thmenm" in their sweepinig progress. Many, umanmy, alas! are time willimig victiams of their despotism, shmoumimmg preans to their imperial marchi, even whmile nimey thmem selves are being horne downa to time earth by thmeir splenidid oppressors. Compared with their condtition, thme slaves of time ancient Persian monarchs were happy--thme serfs of time mnodernm Russamn emperors are blessed. Shall we be told that the evils which we deprecate are imaginaryi Let the statistics of thme age decide time point. England amid the manufaicturing portion of our Union are regarded by time world at large as thme best exponents of modern advancement. If we look to thme history of thme former for thme last twenty years, we are struck witht time rapidity of her progress in all time "arts oif peace." Had any one predicted time state of timngs whichm nmow exits in time time of our grand fathmers, lhe would have been lauighmed to scorn as a visionmary dreamer. In mechmanics amid such other branches of minute sciencee as contribune to increase dlespiatchm in every departmneut of labor, more has bmeemn tdone than for centuries before. Where quiet once held her mmonotoos sway, all is bustle and humrry. Ini time pleasant vaies where time laborers of "nmerrie England" were wont to " turn time stubiborn glebe" or " drive thmeir jocunmd teams afield," magnifi cent factumries have arisen and thme snmoke of engines obscures time bimue vaultmt of heaven. For thme shiep hard's pipes and thme corn-reaper's simple melodly, thme din of machinery has been substituted, and thme in cessant whirring of a thousand spindles. Every stream that will hear a boat of thme most ordinary burden, is crowded with meni eagerly hurrying to grasp time very gleanings of thme good mothter earth and bear them on to time marts of wealth and enter prise. Large towns have sprung up, and cities have doubled their dlimnsisns, whmile the whmole island may be said to be dlotted over with gilded palaces. Could time shtade of IHoward be permitted to revisit time scenes of his earthly labors on sonic beatitiful day, as lie beheld time thousand changes that have been wrought its every portion of his country, time soul of time great phlilanthropist might burn with thme thought that what he had hoped and plead, and labored for, was nmow beinig effected-thmat it had become the ambition, time pride and tihe glory of men everywhlere to alleviate time sufferings of humanity and "scatter plenty o'er a smilinig land." But how would his gen eroums enthusiasm be chilled, whens in should be told to him than all this appearancee of prosperity andi hap piness was but as a " whitened sepulchre !" Ilow would his noble spirit groan whmen lie should be shown thme proof that time millions of his counmtrymen were even now in a worse condition thtan ever before. And such are tihe stubborn facts of the case Trhere is ahbudant concurrent testimony to prove thmxt time unmited kingdom of Great Birittain never pre sented msuch heartrendinmg scenes of huomanm suffering as in this btoasted 19th century. We do not allude especially to time condmhiton of poor Irelanid ; for this may be attribiuted to thme accident of a grievous famine. Nor will we pretend to say to what diegree injustice andh imi.,ruec htave aggravatedl time intenisity of that national calamnimy. It is not necessary, how ever, to look beyond thme borders of England proper. Go to her celebrated cities and you will find alas ! that there is too much truth in time assertion we have made. Look even into her far-famed capital under time very eye of majesty. 'rake no prejudiced state uenit as your criteiomn. Draw no coniclusionis save from their own public records, which if cz parte, will ot be apt to err agtaimnst themiselves. From these it ill appear at a glance, that ini time city of London here has never before beenm suchm wretchedness and ice. Not oily is time amount far greater than any ess popuhotus period has known, but greater in pro ortion t~o population. Look at her nmanumfactumrinmg towns, time v-ery pride f modern pierfectionists--thenir lists of paupers are atually appalling, and yet these do not teil us of half teir woe. crowds of laborers to tu their various deparinents in the grant working lou.:es of their monied lords, thousands who go wit step. of alacrity, are weighed down by hearts of w They reel the dire necessity that compels them fo ,Rher the long and weary day for a pittance which will scarcely afl'rdi subsistence. They groan continnal' in terriMe apprehension of some casualty which play dininish their usefilniess to the wealthy employer andi thus cause them to lose even this miserable su port. They look forwaid with no prospects of alvancement, no lojws of protection in the future. Anti yetthese poor men atid women are pointed to by the infatuated admirer of tile age as the happy beneficiaries of their much-lauded int provements. Blinded: by the deceitful glare which wealth spreads over dje scene, they see not the broad tnder current in whospe boundless deeps the million perish. While they lot only upon those things that are bright and beautiful in the Picture, they do not, (or they will not) see " flow al .1Y and beggary, Closely attended by it , hanidmaid, ' vie. Stare with lack-lust.re7 d ferociouseyes ito the porch of ever" palace gate! flow want creeps for' at night with tottering pace And 'gainst the winalmVp of the revellers Flattens its pinched ar wasted fratures out, Cursing the feasts foir:,,ich one-half tle world Labors t6aid !"' Add to this, as can ligathered from authentic ta bles, that every succelirng year the wages of labor grow less and less adeguate to the exigencies of the operative, and there Nill arise in the bosom of every good man the startling-question " what is to be their fate 1" In looking tO thin condition of things, it ceases to be matter ot surprise that there should be constant risings, se4dons and mobs among the masses. It is no longer difficult to account for the numberless crities tho stain their judicial registers. Let the political econqmist reason as he will upon the nature and importance of labor-saving machines, let him descant as he may upon the benefits that must accrue from them, the" ets of the case go far to de monstrate that they atrnot, in our generation, pro. ductive of tihe great a ;unt of real goodI his cottclu sions represent. AdaitSmith himself might be led to modify his opinionsicould he see humnan society itt some of its modem phrases. We would not be un derstood as pronouncing the deliberate opinion that they are "m.da in ." But we do believe that, until God in Iis mmercy altall work mighty changes in time hearts of men, tie evils described will but 1,e increased by the more stupendous of such improve. men's. For each one-of them is but an increase of that power of capital,; wlich every vfmere through Christeoilm (except, thank God, in the Southern States of this Union,) is at open war with labor. And this warfare muscontinue until capitalists shall cease to 1e the grinding oppressors they are, and shall become tle benefactors of mankind. Such a consummation, howeier devotutly to be wished for, is'perhaps of all tilints least to be expected. And after all tLte :-anting roout the march of mind and tle progress : man oiward and upward, we find the scope of that progress confined principally to perfect ing such iimprovemmetg as, in their results, iinister to the ruling passiot .f the day, the lust of monied power.
