ARTHUR SIMIlS, EDITOR, EDGEFIELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY JANUARY 26, 1853. As a' matter of justice to S. S. Tot PitiNs we publiilt his reply to Major ALLEN's state ta, of last week, as a communication. Perceiving, wever, the probability of this matter running ir.I. rely personal controversy, we notify gertleman either part that any further articles tipon the sub : will only he received and piblished upon our Tertising terms. Congressional Candidacy. WE cheerfully give place to C'apt. Baoors' reply the note of those citizens of Edgefield who thought oper to address hin' upon the subject of his de nation. It is perhaps unnecessary to remind our readers at the question as to who first occupied the field little or nothing to do with the present position Col. PicKENs. 11e has but yielded to the earnest d repeated solicitations of many friends in even ally becoming a dandidate. We know the step to ve been dictated pnrely by a sense of duty and e believe it will be appreciated accordingly. As to Capt. B's. alluSion to our remark, in con xion with the nomination placed and continued in r paper by the agency of responsible individuals, a have only to say that it was just stch a reply as ery Editor would have given. Ufpon being ques oned about a matter which was entirely between imself and the aforesaid individuals. With what urpose this accidental observation of ours (which mply amounts to nothing) could have been placed fore the public, we are at a loss to conceive. To " Bfibwmen" Generally. WHAT we have to say to you is, that our little town f Edgefield has at present a kind of Show-Mania; nd if you wish to make your Jack for a couple of ights or even a week, just come along and give our ilks a call. If you don't go away the best pleased en and women in the world, we'll almost agree tn y your expenses. We had a Circus here last wee hich gave two exhibitions, and; it is supposed, arly fifteen hundred people were present each tine he very day after the Circus left, along came the agician, EVERETT and old BILLY CaEIGtT6N, ith their little Pavillion. And this exhibition too was crowded for several nights to overflowing. Wt earned that at least one hundred wihites, besides un ouated darkies, were turned away from the door o hi last show for want of rcom to accommodatt hem. The " CARNCaoSSES" were here too soml ime ago, and they 'had a " tremendous runt" of fiv ights.. Come along then, we say to every one o ou, provided you can give us any thing like a de ent entertainment. "If not, stay away, for wi ave no use for you." Bye the bye, it is but right that we should speal lit our opinion as to all exhibitions &c., which com ur-way. All the city Editors do it, and just t< hink that we " had like to" have forgotten it! An< t would be well enough for all showmen, who mn .me .here in consequence of our invitation hereb, ztendedi, to bear in mind that, no matter how.me -e puff them beforehand, we always reserve th ight of lashing them as they deserve fterwards.

A Word To Our Girls. WE have a word of advice for you this weekgirls, and we hope you will lced what we say. It is in tended very kindly. Of course we mean those of you who have riot " come out"-those of you who are still going to school. And we believe there is an even hundred of that class*.in our village at this time. You have commenced another year's schooling un der very propitious circumstances. Your facilities, to whichever of our Seminaries you may be attached, are excellent. The teachers, under whose charge you a:e placed by your kind relativesand friends, are quite equal to any that can be found in any town or even city. You are among friends who are taking deep in terest in your progress, and who watch your improve ment, both mental and physical, with an eager desire to see your talents and capabilities thorougily devel oped. There are more eyes upon you, and more hearts concerned about you than you imagine. Your elders know well what you do not now fully realise: it is the truth, that the best time for rapid and permanent im provement is that very period of girl-hood through which you are now passing. The experience of al most every orte goes to establish the complete correct ness of the old saying, " that early impressions are the most lasting." What you learn now (if you learn it well) will never leave yott-it will become, as it were, a part of your very mind-it will be ready for your purposes at any moment you may need it, wheth er in rational conversation or in forming your opinions upon any point, at any time of your subsequent life. Your elders know another thing which but few, if any of you, have yet found out, and this lis thiat Old Time flies swiftly--oh! very swiftly. Your Spring season of life will pass away speedily. Some of you are now ripening into womanhood. Perhaps those, who are so, already begin to look back with regret upon the mis:-spent days of their earlier " teens." If you are young ladies of any pride and reflection, we know you do. Now, litlek dears, this ought to be a caution to you, and you ought to sit down alone for a short time in some corner of your ama's house, and just deter. mine within your little heart of hearts, that this shall not be your case-that you will strive to make such good use of the nice advantages with which you are blessed, as to have cause for rejoicing and not for re gret when you in your turns, come to look back upon these days.-Bt we do not design to discotrage you, young ladies. Many of you may have done precisely as we have told the little ones to try and do. We hope so. If not however, here is at least this pre cious year of '53 left, and muc! can be made up in a twelvenonth by spirited application. All of you are capable of this kind of application, if we are not very much mistaken. Then, please exercise it forthnith. We ask this of you in sincerity, and we are fully con. lIent thatevery single one of your acquaintances, who cares a straw for you, joins us in the request. To urge you on to this industrious course, we will tell yot what we know to have been done by some of your r lady predecessors in this very old village of Edgefield. A good many years ago there was a Female School of high grade at this place, under the care of the Rev. Wx. B. JoHssoN. Quite a number of girls entered this school at an early age and completed their edu cation in it. There was a remarkable degree of beau tiful pride and praise-worthy perseverance among these girls, called-forth by the excellent discipline of the venerable Rector and by the lively interest of pa rrents and friends. The consequence was that many of them have proved to be real ornaments to the sod6 ety in which they have since moved. Some are now' wives and mothers, thoroughly qjnalified for the ardu. ous and perplexing-duties of those delicate relations in life. Others are dead, but have left upon the hearts of those they loved an uneffacable remembrance ol their refinement and cultivation, intellccttually and morally. We can, at this moment, recall many whc are exercising a most whtolesome inffutence for thea good of society, whose minds were drilled and whose chtaracters were formed at thais place alone. And, young ladies, yout can exhtibit, if you will, a repetitiort of thtese admirable results. Remember, " you can, i yous will." We are not lecturing youa, but simply en .deavoring to increase 'that feeling of emulationa antl industry; by which we know you to be influenced. .Bear with-us now -while we droap a fe w suggestions upon. some of your duties, as school-girls, in a lighatel go beyond our fixed limits for articles of this kind,and mast thaer~ fore content ourself with postponing all these suggestions, but one, until a more conventien1 time.

Tt following deserved notice of the merits of GOnatAN'S most valuable journal, we extract from the February number of Graham's Magazine ; and, there is no man in the Union, more competent to judge of a periodical's merits, than is the veteran Editor of that long established monthly. But it surely needs not the voice of tis praise and commendation (however much to be valued it is) to obtain from Southerners and especially from South Carolinians s. cordial sup port of a literary enterprise, begun with such praise. worthy spirit and carried on with such energy in their very midst. The " Family Friend" has attained a higlit rank among the first literary journals of the United States, which rank has been generonsly re cognised by the discriminating and honest judges of every section. Still, there is some ground to fear that it is not keeping pace even at the South, in point of circulation, with certain gaudy but flimsy emanations from the Northern Press. How long, in the name of patriotism and Southern pride we ask it, how long shall this state of things continue I Why will men resolutely turn away from the chaste and excellent productions of their own deserving fellow-citizens, to grasp at the flaring and trashy offsprings of literary quacks, of whom they know nothing and whose only object is to fatten upon Southern gullibility ! Once more we ask our readers to encourage each and all of those Southern efTorts, which are now being made in variour quarters, to establish an independent and an un'tainted periodical literature on our own side of the Potomac. But read GRAsAM's remarks. They are as true as they are complimientary. "GoDMANs's FAMSMY FatE.N.-When this journal was first announced. there were well-meaning people who shook their heads with a knowing air, pronounc ed the scheme visionary in the extrume, and predicted failure. We, who hail known Godman intimately rai well, and appreciated his character as a man of indomitable energy, and a writer of power and bril liancy equalled by hut few of our best writers, felt that he would achieve a tritimph over all obstacles. We must confets. however, that highly as-we valued the genius of our friend.'we were not prepared for tte brilliant success which has marked his progress from the very first number of his paper-a sutecess as un exitunpled as it has been well-deserved. The Friend already stands second to no journal, either North or South, and is winning golden opinions in every corner of the Union as a literary and pictorial journal of the very best order. The editorial department of the paper is marked by a degree of manly independence atl jst and vigor ous thinking, quite unusual in this class of weeklies; and the selections show a mind fullir skilled in the wants of the great body of periodical readers--htt in the original contributions to the jourtal. as well the romatnces from the pen of the editor himself, as in the sketches, essays and poetry which enrich its columns, from the pens of contributors South, whom Godman has seduced from their retreats, there is a freshness, versatility, and hearty joyousness of style which give a value to Godman's Family Friend that is all its own--a distinctive character, which cannot be suc. cessfully imitated. Of the effect of such a weekly paper upon ithe country, in improving and elevating the taste, and moulding and forming the character of the young in the ten thousand families to which it has access, it would be vain to speak; but that the circle of its readers is widening with every week at a rate unexampled, we know frum the hundreds of orders that are pouring into us, from all points, to send it and Graham for $3.50 in preference to any ittlier literary paper. Godman will live to see a ciren latTon that will astonish even him, or ie must die early, We predict that before the end of '54 the I Frienkwill he in every Sothern post town the organ and the'oracle in all literary matters. The preft of the Sout h owe it to themselves to see that Godma' is supported, in preferenice to the pirati cal reprints n the large daily offices which sail it every sea, sat ed withfreight n hich costs nothing. and is wtorthle as well as chseap-mnere hohtails to some enotrmotts'5i.te--a COtopetition of mere tilite paper, with the brainst, muscle and capital of the in terior editor.

ALMr rdused to take the note or to pay f.or the beef. Now, how did he meet this charge? Did he meet it boldly and openly and prove to the puble that it was ground less ? No! Ile went to Cnnss-ry, paid for the beef andl got a certificate that it had becu satisfhetority settled. This certificate was never published, but was exhibited throughout the District. as evidence that there were no grounds for the charge, and that it was only made to persecute him. It was payment for the beef that satfi.ed Cuns-rv, made under cir cumstances that deprive him of all claim to any credit for having acted fairly and justly. It can hardly be believel that this ancient debt would ever have been settled had not the Major, like a skillful financier, carefully weighed the transntion in one scale against a certain number of votes in the other. The beef kicked the bean and was paid for. Another charge was, that the Major years ago, had, in changing a bill, given toa Mrs. .EoPARD 2 worthless bill, which he refused to take back and give good money for it. Now, how io you suppose he settled this I Weighed it as he did the beef and paid the money back. Thus it appears that Maj. A.L.N's Cndidncy has not been without its ad vantages to some of the citizens of the District Cuassry's beef has been paid for and Mrs. LEOrARD has received good money for the worthless bill so long regarded as lost. If this race should have to be run over, I hope the managers and the people will put the blaime where it justly belongs. All I ask is a full and fair expression of public opinion. The seat. to fill which the election was ordt red, was vcannt. I had a right to run for it : as had every other person hav. ing the Constitutional quali.eation. I was sup. a ported by. at least a very respectable minority un. der the advantages above stated. Self respect and respect for those who supported me, demands that I shoull not be manuo.vered out of success. ,I might be, that I should be worse beaten upon a new trial-but I will have a fir trial. Ile has the faee to coneilate men, that I have not. One vote was cast in this election for him ticoinpanicd by the decirittiion of the voter, that lie hail seen bettei mient(1 huntg. Many of the voters of this Distric were induced to believe, that 5tjr. Lon hILt. wA persiecut:ng him. Charges were made against hin by Mr. HILL, seriously ati-teting his charactei whlch were never met. Not one jilt or tittle o these charges has been retracted or qualified in anI manner whatever. Yet, who wl believe it, Maj A..s was actually in Mr. IiL.'s stoire, in thi place, a short tnime since, purchasing goods. Thi I could not do, even if it elected me. Should thi matter be again left to the people, I will cheerfulli submit to the result whatever it may be, provided I is efyected fairly and honorably. S. S. TOMPKINS. Jan. 2-Ith, 1853. COMMERCIAL.
