ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR, 237GUI2 ELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 2, 1852. Oundidates for Congress, COL F. W. PICKENS, C'AP'F. P. 5, BROOKS, C. P. SULLIVAN, Esti., COL. J. F. MARSHAL& g2' Wz have received from Maj. Jons C. ALLi, a reply to the charges of S. S. Tomrxit, Esq., as published in our last number. This article is una Voidably crowded out, as has been the bulk of our edi sorial matter. It shall certainly appear next week. 9' WE were instructed last week to omit the-al lusion to " Howard's 6ox" in the first portion of Mr. Toxt is'communication. The piece being set up at the timt, and there being some difficulty in taking out the words, we thought, upon consultation with a particular friend of Mr. T., that a correction by a note would suffice. The article, properly, should not have contained the words above mentioned. We make this explanation, as being due to Mr TomxPKis. Our Correspondent. Wx publish this week the account of a meeting of Capt. BaooKs' friends, in which severe imputa done arp cast upon the friends of Col. PircEis. We also publish a communication in reference to Capt. Bitooxs of severe cast. Our suggestion to all is to write in milder mood. We dislike that our paper shoaid become the recep tacle of personalities or of any thing the direct ten -dency of which may be to lead to such. In political warfare, ee believe it is the custom of the Press to publish strch articles without charge until they reach a rejointder. They are then charged as advertise ments. Such at least is the course we have adopted. And, in pursuing this course, we hold ourselves in no manner responsible for results. Our Exchanges. Tit editorial department of the Andrerson Gazette has again prssed from the hands of Maj. .AXEs HAs atson. We had just been congratulating ourself upon the pleasure of exciimgirng a littitr pleasant raillery with our friend, s the Sprfng came on and merry thoughts began to rise uppermost. When lo! he makes another sudderr bow and says " good day" to the fraternity. Well, " peace to thee and thine," ofr chum !-To Mr. Jon V. 3llooRE, who is now to edit the Ga:ette, we cordially extend the right hand of fellow-ship and wish for him that best of editorial gifis, the ability to present an inviting feast fronr a meagre larder. We add to our exchange list this week " 7h Southera Veckly P'ost," a weil conducted Family Newspaper published in Raleigh N. C., and edited by C. 11. WILEY and W. D. Coox, at two dollars per annum. That very excellent publication, Dickens' House Aold Words, continues to reach us punctually. So does Scott's Weekly Paper. And the Gcoreia Home Gazette. And the Olive Branch. And the Picks and Picaymnes. And the Dollar Maga:ine. And a good many others. But where, tell us where, is old L. A. Goxir gone ? Gob ]Parmer and Planter. Wx have received the first number of the 4th volume of this useful agricultural publication,- and feel gratified to find it in a progressive condition. Besides the gentlemen who have been hitherto con cerned in its management, we find the ames of those well known brethren of the craft, 3Messrs. R. F. Brxrson and F. BerT. connected wvith the business as assistant editors. With this combination of energy and talent we anticipate for the Farmer and Plantr a successful y'ear, and one that shall be but the fore runner of a permanent and profitable career--profita ble alike to publishers, editors and subscribers. The Hamburg Mieeting. Ix the proceedings of this meeting, it is alleged that the effort lhas been made to drive Capt. Bnooxs - . from the field.~~We,know of no such effort. - No ob nothing more than a suggestion of the propriety and expediency of Capt. Baooxs' wlthdrawing in favor of Col. Picxinss. With that note the parties who solicited and demanded the nomination of Col. Pzczess had nothing to do. In respect to the meet meg. at Lott's and Mt. Willing,, we suppose they were prompted by a desire to have Col. PucKEcNs' services as a Representautive in Congress, together with a con Yietion that such men were rieeded there at this time. Wnere is the imnpropriety of their ntomination ? We 'imagine every one wvill be at a loss to discover it. They form a portion of those " three thousand sane freemen" and had quite as clear a right to express their preference for Col. PrcxEss, as had another moiety of these " three thousanid saule freemen" to express theirs for Capt. Baooixs. No one will main tain that because they ha-:e thus signified their choice, It is therefore the choice of the District. Neither will jt be inferred that because a meeting in Hamburg has indicatedl a preference for Capt. lBaoOncs, he is therefore the choice of Edgefield. The latter meeting doubtless claims to he one of independent 'men. So do thge others. Where is the harm--where is the wrong in all this ? It lhas been the accustomed mode of pro'ceeding in all stmeh political elections, arid will eontinue to be as long as the freedom of opin survives. But the resolutiotis go on to assume that there is "dictation" in this matiter. Is it in thme letter of " ten citizens !" We see nothing of it. Is it in the pro ceedings of either of the meetings which nere held to nominate Col. PiciEzEsI We can find therein nothing of the kind. Is it in any article which has appeared in our paper! We are perfectly unconscious of any such motive, and are willing that our pieces should be thoroughly dissected and examined., While urginig, in one or two short articles, the pre eminent claims of Col. Plexmcrxs, we have studiously avoided a depreciation of others. Where then is this " dictation !" - There is an incongruity between Capt. Bnooxs'I communication of last week and the Ihamburg meet ing's Preamble, which is perhaps accidental. For, f whereas the communication states that a certaitn re ported conversation between Col. Pmcxeis.s and 1 Capt. Baoozs was heel in March 1852, the Preamble 1 gives for it the date of October in that year. As to the allusion in the resolutions to, the fact that Col. PICKINs has been brought omt at " the eleventh hour," we would merely ask, have not thme people a right to reserve the decision of titeitr vote until tihe ~ "eleventh hour !" If-sus where is the impropriety of ~ a new candidate being offered to them at that hour? Cr Of course there is none whatever. ' But we have no more room for conmment or erkicism, d Of the harshness and ill-feeling displayed by the o meeting towards the 'various friends and supporters of Col. PicicRNs, we ca.onmly say that we regret toset it in gentlemen of such- seinsibility and generosity as h are those whose names are givcen in connection with the proceedings. And we-ask tdiems in kindlness, -to read with care thme high-toned letter of Col. PrcEENs itt our present number. florida Pever Abated. Wi are right glad to find that the Florida fever, which flushed the brows of tmany of our good citizens sonme ten months ago, his considerably abated if not entirely disappeared. COne or two cases still remain d but they, it is hoped,. are rapidly convalescent. Howv much better to settledown pernmanently in old Caro- ci lina and lead a civilized and. contented, in preference " to a money-making but disagreeable life ! of From a gentlemaa just from Florida, we learn that us many planters in the middle division. of'that State have becomo much distiatisfied. with their location Tc and are sefling out. Some tew entertain the idea or e returning to the old country, while-others are going to.i East Florida. This last section seems to be regardedm snow as the garden spot of the laud of fluwers. How C long it will continue so, remains tohe tested--perhaps. for but a brief period. Fortunes are anticipated there ,for fema the production of long staple cotton. Sawmills tioi upon the St. Johns are also the rage. Some will. tioi doubtless make, and some 'sill inevitably break.. l~ Na urfied a eatesae h lterfte o Zmproving. Ir is really cheering to observe the decided improve- Ie ment which is.aowf rapidly-takiig placs in our village. tl Buildings are being renewed which had become rusty from long neglect and others are being built up on vacant lote. Among the latter are three intended for stores or shops, and one for a Family Grocery. All are to be occupied as soon as completed. A single one of our citizens, AvoaR BLAND Esq., expects to have five new store-rooms, and several offices ready o for occupation within a year.-Our jail is nearly b done and will present a fine appearance.

Several smaller buildings have been put up of brick and mortar.- C Others are contemplated-and, upon the whole, the r indications of improvement are clieringly manifest. b The Nowberry Sentinel. b The Editor of this paper is utterly wrong in sup posing that certain commendatory remarks, in a late paragraph of ours about the Greenville and Columbia b Rail Road, were designed merely as the disguise of a p sneer. We have ever, in private and in public, spoken a in laudatory terms of the energy and spirit with which a this difficult work was begun and has, until recently, fi been carried on. When others predicted years ago u that this idea was nonsensical and would fall stillborn, we repeatedly maintained the reverse. This we did, Lecause we knew (perhaps as well as the Sentinel) what description of men originated the work and for a long time stood manfully by it. That we have, within the last six months, lost much of our confi. ti dence, upon the question of its proving either a very it great or a very profitable work, we do not deny. Su a have many others even of its former supporters, if we 1 onderstand the Sentinel of the 26th ult. But we still e wish it success, if it were only to exhibit to the people d on this side of the Saluda what they have lost by their apathetic indifference. And we repeat that this success is merited, if it be never realised. At the same time, we have a perfect right both to feel and P express surprise at a piece of intelligence like that contained in the Anderson Ga:cic in reference to -the I deprecation of this stock, and the Sentinel has a per. t feet right to explain, if it thinks proper, what caute' r have produced this sad deprecation. Such would - have been a more effective reply to our so-called | Fneer. COMMUNICATIONS, FoR THE ADvERTIFER. EDGEwoGD, Jan. 30, 1S53. Y Ma. EITOR: Dear Sir: On my return home lIst evening 1, for the first time, saw a communicition in the Advertiser of the 26th inst., from Capt. PartESTON S. Baoouis-in which lie publishes a conversation - he held with me during M4arch-term of Court 1852. There is nothing mioro uncertain in construction than hurried street conversations, particularly when hleard by persons with different views and wishes. Mv recollection of the conversation is substan tially as follows: Capt. BRooKs met i te in the street and said he was sorry to see our naits ap parentTy in conflict in the last paper, and that if lie had known I was to be nonmiuntedi he would not have allowed his name to be inserted-or sonic such words. I replied that I did not know it myself e until the paper appeared, for I had refused to allow several gentlemen, who had applied, to put m name in, and that I was going to see the Editor then about it. I said also. I dil not wish to run-it would not suit mte, or be rleasant-or rather, not at all desirable personally. Ile then turned off and. said, well you will be elected Senator'it'any rate. It was a passing conversation, and this is the sub stance of all I recollect of it. A t the conclusion of what Capt. BuooKs publ;shes now of the conversa tion, he says, " A nd I think, he addled, it (the nominattion) might have the effect of keeping othiers off."~ This is an entire mistake. I never conceived or 5 uttered such a sentiment. I never couldi have conu acute I to surh a nomination with snch a view, andt wi.a'. shows it to be a misapprehension, is that I went immediately to the Editor-and at my request thet nomination was entirely altered in the next paper;t by inserting expressly that if had been maddwithodtj ,mermurn-mflIdeastfrsoisibilefor it. As my conversation htas been published I think it not improper to publish the following letter froim Capt. Bitoozs to me, as it gives precisely the proper 1 ecmnstruction and inference from the 'above eenver Sation, simnply as I really meant what I said then andil no niore. I attached no importance to it, and never a thought of it again until lately. . ~ ~ Dysons M LL~S, Dee. 29th, 1852. h Mr D.AIt Sr' : I have this mormnetit received a r letter from Dr. LAI3oanE, enclosing one to hinti fr,'n: yourself.

BRooKs, held in the Town of Ham :rg on Saturday the 29th inst., for the purpose of insidering his claims to the suffrages of the peo e of the Fourth Congressional District, on mo in his Honor, the Intendant, WN. SrnRsS, was Lled to the Chair, and T. SErrimus liERioT Req., quested to set as Secretary. The meeting being organized, C. W. STYLES, Esq., iefly stated the object for which they had assem ed, and submitted a motion that the Chair appoint Committee of three, for the purpose of reporting as'ness for tie occasion, whereupon the Chair ap ,inted C. W. STYLES and T. P. MlAGRATHK, Esqrs., Ad Dr. J. W. SToxas. The Committee retired, id in a few minutes returned and reported tho llowing Preamble and Resolutions, which were nanimously adopted. WnEREAs, Col. F. W. Picraxs and Capt. P. S. nOK5 both citizens of Edgefield District, are can dates for the House of Representatives in the ederal Congress. And whereas the former at the me of his nomination in the Edgefield Advertiscer, October last, intimated to many gentlemen, and rmong them, to Capt. Bxooxs himself, that the an onneement was maio without his knowledge or Dnsent, and that he would in no event be a candi ate. And afterwards virtually confirming this itimation, by sufiering his name to go before the ,egislature at its recent session, among the names roposed for the Senatorship, in the Senate of the ;nited States. And again, after his defeat in that 'leetion, by formally withdrawing his name from lie Columns of the Advertiser, where it had been etained for months, only for the purpose-it seems -that the - Printer might get his fee." The oters of the fourth Congressional District were led y tie conclusion-as of course-that Capt. Bnoons ,as the Edgefield Candidate, and that he would ave no opponent at home. But Col. PIcXENs, eing solicited by a number of zealous friends, 'iclded to their entreaties, and alloteed his name gain to go before the people: Titus opposing ,apt. BROOKS, a fellow-citizen of his own District, the eleventh hour, after having given hiim to un erstand that he would not oppose him. And with perfect knowledge that Capt. BnooKs had been an vowed candidate for eight or ten months, and that c h.id canvassed the Congressional District for car that length of time. And wnEREAs an eflort has recently been made y the friends of Col. PICKENs, to induce Capt. Rooxs to withdraw fron tle cantest iin his favor, nid for the aceomplishment of that obje.t, they have dopted means which we deem caleulated to preju. ice Capt. Bnooxs' prospects in the other Ditricts omil'osing this Congressioial District, ifunexplaini. d. And wnEREAs, also, a certain communiention kindly intended no doubt) was addressed to Capt. ROOKS, ott the - inst., by ten citizens of Edge. eld village and vicinity, proftssing fiiendship for te Captain (and we doubt not their sincerity, or tle onesty of their purpose,) requesting him to with. raw fron the canvass and in favor of Col. PicK Ni, urging as their reasons, that if both lie and k1. P'rcmasecotntinued in the field, it might be the icans otf depriving Edgefieldi of the Representa ye; and furthter, that by withtdrawing hte, Capt. ImlooKs, would " strengthmen himnself with thle frienzds f Cul. PicKE~s, and exhibit a ntagtnatimlous and is-nterested patriotism," that would insure hmis trecess at sonme future period. Therefore, consid ring that Capt. Unaoons' claims are, at least equal .t the claims of Col. PtcKEss, ujpon the voters of he Fourth Congressional Distriet; and believintg tat thte effe~ct of thte action of thte said ten citizens uken in eonnectio~n with certaitt resolutions adopted hosUlr'hiio mgN tlijsist.

PSTON 5. BB00ES. Ma. EnTo,--I elaim the acknowledged privi lege of an humble voter, to make a few remarks upon the very peculiar correspondence, published in the last Adrertiser, at the request of Capt. Baooxs. Public men are public property in this country, and every citizen has the right, not c.nly to criticise and examine the principles, qualifications and conduct of his Representative, but he has also the right uf discussing the relative merits or demerits of Candi dates, as well as the means they employ to secure their own election, or defeat that of their opponents. Indeed, both the private and publio character of a Representative or Candidate belong to the people, and as one of that body, I presume to comment upon the singular correspondence refered to above. If Capt. Baooas.had thought well upon what he was doing, or if he had conferred with his niost ju dicious friends, he would, I am sure, have hesitated long, very long, before giving publicity to that cor respondence. By so-doing he has not only griev ously injured hims'elf, but greatly benefitted the man, whom he has wantonly sought to wrong, and whose election it is his darling purpose now to de feat. But he speeds his arrows at game too high for a feeble hand rendired more weak and nervous by conscious inabilitj, and the shaft which he ment to carry political death to Col. Pactaxs, will re bound as harmless from the bright' integrity of that gentleman, as did the frail javelin hurled by Priam against the impenetrable shield of Pyrrhus. Capt. Baoors, instead of erecting a pillory for Col. PicK zxs as lie intended, has in reality built one for himself. It may well be left to.the criticism of public opin ion, to say whether or not Capt. Baooxs has been guilty of a gross violation 'of good manners, in pub lishing a correspondence, meant to be solely private. The same august trilunal will have to decide wheth er lie has not violated another wholesome regulation of society in retailing to the world private, enasual or unguarded conversations, alleged to have been held with Col. 1'cxEs and his near relative, the Editor of the Edgefield A4teriser. But unfortunately for Capt. BRooKs, this alleged converition with Col. Picxzns may never have occurred, simply breause it is an imnposibility. He speaks positisely that "during term-time of the Court, in March 1852," himself and Col. Picias were nominated in the same paper for Congress. That " on the day after the paper was issued," he approached Col. Picais and expressed his regret that their names should appear siniultancously and "in seeming conflict for the saent position." To which he says, Col. P. rephed that " he did not wish to run-that he had refused to run-that he had no idea of running that his friends irefre urging his claims to a Seat in the United Statio Senate." To wchat Seat in the Senate. could Col. Piexrss have referred in this conversation I There was then no vawancy in that body from South Carolina, and none expected. Mr. Rurr never resigned until after the Conven tion refused to secede, and that was the cause of his resignation, which bears date 30th April, nearly two months after this conversation is alleged to have taken place. It is almost. common law in South Carolina for a United States Senator to be re-elected as often as he may desire, and it is pre pusterous to say that Col. Picmrss ever thought of opposing Mr. Rurcvr, who was not only the incum bent, but was also a -brother Secessionist. Col. Pmcxess' name was never mentioned, either pub l'ely or privately, in connect ion with any candidacy for the Seinte, until after Mr. RnEu'r'r resIgned, anid I udefy any mian to prove the contrary. Capit. Baooxs may have desired that 'Col. Plcaans should oppose Mr. Thnr'r'r, but no one else ever thought of it seri ously. So nmuch for the covert ebargo against Col. PicKEss that he at .irst advised Mr. Baooas to maintain the field from which he now widies to drive Imn. Whether tis mis-stateinent, to use a euphemrismr, was delib.erately made by Capt. Baooxs, it remrains for an intd~iy w .cmsuvanig ge'nerl3%fails, simply because he omnits some -precatution--which should have been - taken. Capt. Urooxs omitted to examine dates, and hence the aniacrniism which mars the beauty of his story. Hie has by his com,,mmniention not only wronged Col. PlcKess, but alsokhie gentlemen to whom his letter is addresscd, as: well as the whole people of the 4th Congressional District. Upmon~what ground does lie assume to hoW the following insulting Ian guage of the people whom lhe Reeks to represent. " The opposition to mec is -'chiefly political. It was amy hope that past political dliffierences would not be regarded in this election. In that hopie I have been disappointeel," &e., &.c. Have aniy pubmlie meetings been held, or letters written, or rumors spread, to preach a Secession crusade against Capt. B3aooxa No, he cannut locate, or put his hand on orie-he had no cause or excuse for penning the above quo tation. except to mrake a *..w appeal to the pirejudices of ultra Co-operationists. lie muay disclaim any such intention, but he will find it ditlicult to give any other e.xlplanation of his wordls. Te'n of asi resputa ble mna as threre, are in Edigefield District thought proper t( address him a note, requesting him to withdraw in oar of Col. PICKNSs. All of these gentslerneon wer e his private friendsnand eight of themr his politicl synmpathisers in the late meainorable struggle. Ye't Capt. Baooxs cries persecutio~n, per secution, himself both the voice and ehmo of it, for no one else ever utteredl it, or heard it, till he spokce it. Does it signify persecution because eight co operationists refuse to vote for Captain Baooxs and prefer to support Col. Pincxc~ss, who though lie was a Secessionist is as they believe, aStatesmuan of pro fo.und ability, ripe experience anid national reputation!l No Mr. Editor, this is niot thre piersecutioni which lie really feels in his heart. Ice knrows that a free pet' pIe are always divided upon questioins of both p~rin eiple and policy. Yeat I venture to say, tha.t lie re memibers with delight the fact that this Congre~ sionral District was lately 'onivulsed with excitemrent, abiout separate State action, lie also remembers with still more oxquisite pleaisure, that there are four candidates in the field to represent us ini Con gress--three Seeessionists and only on'e Co-opera tionist, who is fortunately he thinks himiself. But this pleasure Ihas sonme alloy as every sweet muust have its pain. Capt. Baoorcs is well advised from Distory and froni Mr. CA~noea's inestitrable Book ar Government, that 'the peculiar straetare of our State Constitution pgevents the cortinued existence af parties in South Carolina after the excitenmert is aver which gives them birth. It is the knowvledgeI af these facts which haunts Capt. Baons and makes urn shout Chost Ghost I when there is no Ghost. t is this knowledge which causes him to d'g at the uried remiains of Secess:on and Co-operation, withr he hope of breathing life afresh into their putrid I arcasses. Who does not see through the flimsyt lisguise i d who will not mark the man that thus " lures to throw fuel on the fires of party strife or I: o- fan its flames, that he ninay have borrowed light ' o reach that position and rank, whieh his po!itical hk agaity arid just deserts e'ould never attain in thle almr arid unelouded jurdgrment of thre people ? Ex- 0 opt with a few ultra partisans of either side, the 0 nestion of Secession anid Cu-operation is matter of 1 history as the late elections for the Legislature and 0l )istict offices show. But even If the parties were :il4 iihve arid welil organised, what claims Capt. nm coors can have upon the Co-operationa party I fu n at a loss to perceive, ie was, or aspired to be oi render of that party, and yet lie deser'ted it in the fu mar of its utmost need, because, as he informs uis, w a " self-respect" forbade Iris being in a " minority;" sI r the fear of the latter, was thne cause of his with- A ~awal as he afterwards eonfessed1 in his significanmt nr arifes'te to the Co-opeation voters of thne 4fth de snogremennal Dlistrct 'Thus. Tie led .t .. hi e danger was distant, but as soon as it drew near, he retired to the rear like ISoTEIN when sont with ye his posse, to arrest GABOR. th " March vnsals ! I'm your leader-and will bringW The rear tip; a wise general never should b g Expose his precious life-on whhkh all rests. I like that article of war." The Capta'n s-ays with th..t b-com'ng modesty so natural to himt, " Let the friends that I have beC but vigilant and I an confnldent of my e!eetion, even though Col.'PicxKExs is in the field." Thus it seemes 1 he.is " confdet%'V of his election over even such men ja, as Messrs. MARSHAL and SurLvs, as well as Col. CC PlcKiss. What are his superior e!aimse to aseat in m1V Congress, that Capt. Biaooxa siIhould urge them with such indecent vehemence and with such overwean ing confidence ? will not a voter rather ask whether Capt. Baoos is fit to be a candidate at all, or not, D instead of whether lie has been a laborious election- T eerer, " nne months," or even twelve? Mr. Baoois I() certainly performed no feats of incredible valor iu SO Miexico. 1lis Legislative labors are noit known to ( fume except the unofficial act of his having been a member of the committee to invite M1r. IlOAR, the crazy Abolitionist to leave Charleston. Ilia profes- A sional success at the Bar has asiuredlly not been of a character to warrant this conimunity in supposing a that their Contitutional rights, would be safe in o his keeping. All of these claims then, Military, I Legislative and Professional, even when combined C with a white and spotless moral charecter, are in- a sufficient to induce this people to vote for, ir.

But he is not a willing to go to Washington at the request. or by 9 the suffrage of any nman, whose vote can be bought e with an insincere shake of the hand, or a drink of adulterated run, and such in my opinion are the sea timents of a majority of voters in the District of Ninety Six. Capt. BRooKs is I fear, over " confi dent" of having the heels, botton and track of his f competitors, who though they mtay have been out of it sight and out of hearing in the race, will bear down upon him now with fearful rapidity since lie has crippled himself with his own letter, which thrusts daggers into his popular:ty that I forbear in nerey to pusi deeper. It is truly unfortunate that his letter was ever written or published, for many reaFons not given here. Ile seenis afilieted with an unhappy 1 propensity to write hiiself down and I suggest as a text for his thoughts the next time he writes for the papers, a couplet which I learned when a boy: " A mbition oft its fiondest hopes will kill By heedless scratching with a gray goose quill." c Its motrali would beoof service to him,, and is kindly comenaded to his most scrious considerntioni by CASSI US. Correspondence of the Advertiser. CllAltilTON, Jan. 22. 1853. T see, Mr. EarroR, fromi a late nuiibcr of your paper, that you haeve been amusing yourself, and perhitps seeking the beneficial results of a little re laxation from the arduous duties of the sanctum, by - a flying visit to the beatutiful aiid thriving. .cy of V tfEiineTi*rrrimrsi a , ..n , y a 'fortuxitousc train or circumstances, had my lot east at "ne of the crack IHotels of that city of trees and "ingnificent distances," about the same time.

Thte first thing theatstrikes a 'trang'r in visiting' Augusta for the first time, is thce greait waste of ine garens anid buiildhing leots, ine the unusuetal width of Broai and Greeni streets. The fenet is, they acre too wide ihr any tuse, giving the h'euses ten either side a atunitedl and dwarfish appearance.
