ARTHUR SIMK INS, EDITOR. EDGEPIELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 3, IS53. Candidates for Congres. COL. F. W. PICKENS, CAPT. P. S. BROOKS, C. P. SULLIVAN, Esq., COL. J. F. MARSHALL. Death of Zon. Nathan Ls. Griffin. 'PAixrUL as it is to record the death of any worthy and esteemed fellow-citizen, yet the task becomes doubly 3o when the subject is a man whose course was one of great public usefulness, and whose whole life and conversation stood forth, a bright example of integrity, of patriotism, and of all the social and Christian virtucs. Such a man was NaTAm L. GxrrI. On Thursday, the 17th inst., at the hour of 11 o'clock A. M., he breathod his last, in the ptezence of his family and a few friends. He met the King of terrors with a calmness and fortitude which are alone characteristic of a righteous man's end. His reason was unclouded to the luet, and his parting advice and instructions to those around him were given with even more than his usual clearness and earnest force. In the death of Mr. GRIFFIN, the State has lost one of her first men. But especially to Edgefield Dlistrict, is it a loss which may not be supplied for many years. It is not perhaps going too far to say that there is no other individual within her limits, whose decease could have created so great a chasm as that which has bcen loft by the deeply lamented death of Mr. GRirrI. By years of honest industry, he had won the con fidence of men-by his liberality, courtesy and inva riably kind demeanor, he had gained their esteem and, by his high tone and uncommonly sound judg ment, he had commanded their respect. Thus had he arrived at a position, socially, religiously and politi cally, which few men ever reach. The best tribute we can here pay to the memory of departed worth is the simple expression of our belief that there are hundreds, whose hearts will beat thicker and whose eyes will grow moister at the bare announcement of an event so much to be deplored as the death of Edgefield's cherished son, the lion. NArasTA L. Gatiriv. '" A% Edgefield Subscriber" requests us to copy a short piece which we find inserted as an advertise ment in the South Carolinian. We can only reply to this request by repeating our fixed rule, which is, that no much things are ever incrted in our paper without a knowledge, on our part, of a responsible author. Had a nane accompanied the request, or reached us in any other way in time, thae piece should have been published. Mistakes. SrVZaAL mistakes occurred last week in the let. tars from our Congressional candidates and also in the communicatien of Capt. Baooxs. We ask of all the gentlemen to be :icused fur these unintentional over sights. :udge Butlor's lato Speech. Wz are indebted to the distinguished author for a copy of his recent masterly effort in opposition to the Pacific Ratl-Road scheme. It would have afforded us pleasure to have laid it before our readers this week, had we received it in time. It shall appear in our next, and we bespeak for it the careful attention of all who have an cyo to the righteous interpretation of the Pederal Constitution or the honest administration of Fejeral power. Johnson Wemale University. * WE have received a pamuplet from the office of the Adt'ocate (Anderson C. UI.,) embodying "'rhe Char. teer, with ra Catalogue of the officers, Plan of Organi * zation, Course of Studies, &c., of the above named * University for Young Ladies. We have looked over this pamphlet with care, nand have been impressed with the skill, system, judgemnent andl intelligence manifested therein by the founders and patrons of this first-class Seminary. The reverend WMw. B. Jonesort, late of Edgefield. is Chancellor of the Institution. The faculty numbers six, and is com-. posed of individuals, whose qualifications in their respective departments we have heatrd spoken of in the highest terms. The organization of the universi ty Is accurate and complete. And it is uander the auspices of a Board of Trustees made up .of many of the best men in our State. With all these advantages, added to the delightful * climate and very advantageous situation of Anderson village, we predict for the Johnson Female University a high and brilliant career of usefulness. Tho Railroad Once M~ore. Wz call the attention of all those among our readers, who live any where near the direct route from Greenwood to Aiken, to the communication of A mar v'ILL!,z in this number of our paper. Its tone Is good and the views suggested are of a practical and judi cious character. We will say no more about the author than that he is, as his signature imports, an Abbeville matn. It may be added that he is " unum a plusribusa," upon the question of the feasibility Ef building a Railroad from Greenn'ood to Aiken. The name of those, who look to this project, or one akin t:> it, with hope and anxiety, " is legion." From Charleston to Andersnn and Greenville, thu feeling, though at present somewhat r~mothered, is yet decided - in favor of either this route or one from Greenwood to Hanburg. Who will take active steps towards re ceiving the be'neflt of this manifest pre-dispouition on the part of our up-country friendsi Shatll it be the ttowns of Edgefield and Hamburg i Or shall it be the people of the Saluda Regiment and the conitry about and below the Ridgei That a Rail-Road will be built, sooner or later, from Greenwvood to either Hamburg or Aiken, we have bait little doubt. Its course depends much upon the- energy and activity of the diflerent secions of our district which lire interes ted in locating its lower terminus. Verbusm sap. Gentlemen, we wish to give you a fair start! All ready? (Drum bcats.) Go! Bome I'acts for an Intelligent Public, An; electiinx is ntow at hand, tbe result of which will dtecide ints whose care the people of Edgefietld, Abbe ite, Laurens, Newberry and Lexington prefer to commit their representation in the Nationial Legisite ture for the neat several years. "In the matter of this election" we have been ac cused by one candidate of " illib'erality." To this charge we replied calmly, and we hope conclusively, In our last issue. But we perceive that the same charge has been taken up against us elsewvhere, and that it has been made the pre'.ext ef raising a cry of' "persecution." Now it occurs to us, that nothing could well be mere flat and ill-Judged than a cry like this, sen't ou.t to a discriminating p-ople at. this lat stage of the canvass because we, forsooth ! thought proper to prefer one gentleman to another and to indi cate that preference briefly, mi!dly and without a thought of injustIce towards any one. 'n- pojitical streggles like the present, however, such ad captan duhm shifts arc to be expected. With the weak and prejudiced they htave some effect. Yet those who resort to them should remember, that with the sensi ble and independent portion of every community they aire pretty sure indicatiotis of a failing cause. But we did not design to do more than barely men tion this point. Inasmuch, however, as we have been held up to pnblic censure in other Districts for publishing our preference in this election, we will now briefly give the real ground of our choice. It is nothing more nor fes than our conviction of Col. PIcarss' supetiority, as a Statesman, to either of his opponents, superadded to the reflection that the South now needs her best cried ability in, the halls of Federal legislation. For proof of' the latter part ofour proposition, we will go tie flur thter than the last speech of our distinguished Senator, ,Iodge Brra. No one can arise from the perusal of that able effort withont feeling that there is a ne cesuity, now If ever, for calling to the country's ser vice our wisest heads and most practised skill, not -.merely to defend the interests of our section, bute to save our Constitution and to give security to- Ameri can Freedom. Of Col. Picarts' political ability, of his readiness and power in debate, and of his faithful discharge ofa duty under the most trying circuamsances, the people a at Casolin need no b~e imladed. They has. not forgotten his laborious and emlicient servics in Congress for a period of eight successive years. Should any one incredulously ask what was done by him in all that time, we would reply by a referencc to the Congressional Register from 1834 to 1842. It will there he found that from his first remarks (early in 1835) upon "our" (then) "relations with Frane," to his speech (in July 1842) upon the Tariff and Re strictive Poicy, he regularly tnil continuously sustain ed a high and influential position before the contry' During that term of service lie discussed, (with an ability which commanded the applause of the Press in every State of the South,) the " Abolition ques. tion" in '36, the " Fortiication Bill" of the same year, the question of the " Separation of the Govern ment from all banks" in 1837, the " Independent Trea sury Bill" in 1838, the " Maine Boundary Question" in 1839 and the " Internal Improvement (Cumberland Road) Question" in 1840, to say nothing of various efforts on less important occasions. Since Col. P's. retirement from public life, he has been a constant and laborious observer of the politics of the Union. And we hesitate not to express the opinion that, at this moment, there is no man in the Southern country better prepared to meet the great and startling issues, which another year may spring upon us, than is our old and tried Representative, F. W. PiCiKzEs. Such are the reasons which have influenced our choice in the present election ; and we shall be greatly mistaken if similar considerations fail to tell with signal effect throughout the whole Congressional District. To Our Boys. . [Tr is rather neceseary to premise that this piece was written two or three weeks ago, but crowded out by the press of politics.) LAST week we threw out a few hints and sugges tions " to our girls" upon the subject of their school privileges and school duties. The day after our paper was issued, we received the following communication from a member of our Malo Academy, which we publish at the risk of incurring the charge of vanity. T'he compliment to ourself we take to be an unit. voidable accompaniment of so special a request. l'hus ran the comnmunication: Mr. EoITtt-I read, in the last ntmher of the Edgefield Adeertierc. a rich and very imteresting pro duction of yours to the fair lasses of lalgefield Village. You directed your remarks to the pupils in our ldge field Fcmale Seminaries, to those who had not " conie out." Our eyes ran over it very rapidly, f'.r we. an. tiepated something in conclusion to us of the other ex, as it is courteous. and evii comintin to " trett the gals first, and then the boys." We certaiinly then, expected our portion of those truthful and en ouraging sentiments. We. like our fair young friends, need advice and adn-mition, if we do nut merit it. and next week, we shall expect something from your same " old quill," respecting the boys. A STUDr.T. In reply to our young friend's notv, we have begun a. few observations with a very clear perception of the difficulty of the task. First and foremost. it has become a question with some whether there is any such thing as "a boy" Iowada. There ued tc be " o;:e upon a time,' as the Fairy Tale have it, human beings who were hud denominated. And they were a very worthy and, barring a few old-fashioned tricks, a very docile portion of thu Genus Iomo. They went to school, as their parents desired, to study such books as their teacher placed before them-to strive for excellence in each department of knowlcdge-to win the ap plause of the good by orderly conformity to all rules and regulations devised for their advantage by their elders and superiors. They went home at night filled with a laudable ambition to prepare well for the morrow's exercises, and the hour that follows supper usually found them seated in some quiet apartment conning over the :oming day's task with becoming dilligepce. Breakfast over the next morning, they took up the line of march for the Academy, frequently with book in hand to work out by the way sonic knotty Latin or Greek sentence. Arrivetd at the School House. a game of " Bull-pcn" or oif " Shininy on yotr own side" nevcr came amiss for purposes of xerise. But no sooner w~as the teacher's coming announced by some watchful urchin, than all left play and betook themselves to hooks with serious and respectful attention. Upon the teacher's calling up ach class, they used to come around him with hope and fear-hope, that they might prove themnselves well prpared'iupon their recitation-fear, lest some unlucky blunder might throw them to the "foot.' Yes, there they stood, silently, respectfully and often eagerly drinking in theit teacher's skilful eluesdation of points which had bothered their brains'perhaps for hours. 'Th--r they stood,noting down with caresuch o' deovptments of knowledge as they feared might otherwise escape them. 'There they stood, many of them in routnd jackets, but fe w of them with boots and all of them without standing ctoll'ars, waing the Master's (signal for them to take their seats. In play hours, they were sometimecs boisterous, but seldom off'ensive. If they got hohtd.sy for the purpose of going to a show or attending a barbectte, they appreciated the permission,.not as a cting they had a right to claitn, but as as particutlar favor, the eestowing of which rested entirely with their teacher. And these were boys-boys, in the old signification of the term-boys, as cotntradistinguished from the fourtenyearold"'mnen of the present day. Many, c we before said, think that this race of "boys" has run out entirely. We think somewhat differently, or we would not have prefixed, as a caption for these remarks, the title " To our boys." Our deliberate opinion is that there are a good many reel boys yet and some very fine ones at that. We think there are several such among the numrn' w are now addressing. It matters not very much ithi us, boys, whether you may chance to wear a cloth frockcoat or a linsey jack--t, so you feel certain tat the coat does not make you onte wvhic more re pctablc or one hour older. It is no material point (save the expense) whether you stand upon high-hecel hots or plain, decetnt shoes, provided you do not thtk the boots lift you a tittle higher in the eyes of others. We know that thec world hias travelled on at a terrible pace since the days of ottr boy-hoodl, and tht almost every thing has undergone some change. Among the rest, the outward rig;ging off of icys has been entirely revolutionized. Nor do we think it very sensible to object to the thing itself. But we would hae you all to hear in ind constantly that your being more expensively and tastefully clothed than the boys of the past does not makec you at all superior to them in any respect whatever. It renders you no more able to climb the hill of knowleidge without toiling day and night. In fact, if you bestow any undue thought upon this trifling matter of dress iind appearance, it will pull you back andl impede your progress in the noble pursuit of an education. TIhink of that, and if you cannot help believing that the nice lothes your parents boy for you make you better thn common mortals, in the name of common sense go home and askc thetm to give you homespun until you have done something for the respetability of your mind and your character. But surely it is un necessary to dwell upon this point. Wse arc certain that most of you will take our m::aning and act ac In coninuati'on, we proese to mention some thigs which we like to see in school-boys and then some other things which, in the latnguage of Blurton's on,"we dont like to see." First then as to the things we like. It is pleasant to see boys respectful to their teacher nd menale to control. Some silly lada regard it as an eidence of "spunk" tusrustieup occasionally with a show of resistance to the rightful authority of chool regulations. On the contrary, it indicates generally a bad spirit and one which, if utnchecked, will be more apt to bring its possessor in after life to hhe bar of justice than to either honor or distinction. It is pleas'nt to see boys conducting themselves with odesty and respect in the presence of their lders and superiors. A few chaps we have known, rown entirely too big for their breeches, who thought braely done to swagger and ha-ha before even ddggy-headed gentlemen. We always pitied them 'rmmur heart. It is pleasant to see boys scrupulotusly polite to the malasex, w'hether old or yotung. However bad and iiius a youth may be, there is some hope for him is long as this trait is exhibited. It is peasant to see boys so devoted to parents, or to hose wo stand in this light towards them, as to be eay to sacrafice their- untutored whims and prefer nces to the slightest wishes of thoseparcents or friends. ['hisis filial pisty, one of the highest graces of the roin.nglgiu I t is pleasant to see boys reverential in all rlgos isseblages. Rudenedseon such occasions is, in ninei mse ts otof tan, thu. precursor of impIety and dissi- I Ptcdin t f eve'aauroin. And now for a few thirigs which wo dont iike to wee. We dont like to see boys assuming to be men. And one main reason of our averion to this assumption is, that it invariably sits so ridiculously upon them. The incongruity of the thing is obvious to every one but the poor, mistaken lads. If they were blessed with the sagacity to "see themselves as others see them," there would be no necessity for even a hint upon this point from tns or any one else. Burton, or some other cumic genius, has expressed this dislike in verse after the following fashion: " I don't like to see littte buys 'way from Mama, Pronenading the street with a lighted cigar, Or calling for a class of gin or rum And crying out " Oh, I'm pumpkins some." Then again, wo don't like to see boys " loafing" about stores, or shops, or any common gathering ground of idlers. As we intimated in our advice to the girls, every hour lost at this precious time of life will count for a day in their after prospects. Leisure and recreation, to a certain extent and properly taken, are necessary to their growing powers and to relieve the bey-lay of youthful blood. But let them never choose a " loafing" resort for these purposes. For there they will scarcely be advanced except in the items of coarse slang, vulgar jests &c. In their play grounds let every youth be as merry as he may choose to be, so long as this does not interfere with a steady pursuit of learning. But boys should avoid senseless and lazy "loafiing," as they would avoid a sink from which they cannot extricate themselves without more or less pollution. Lastly, (four our Foreman says this article is already long entough,) we do not like to see boys either fanci ftul or elovenly in their habits. Their clothes may be ever so fine, and yet, if foppishly worn or recklessly soiled, every one will think the wearers do no not deserve what they carry otn their harks. On the other hand, a neut boy, although in a home-spun suit, w ill he connended by the world aretod much oftener than he is aware of. A RELIEF. WE know that this page of our paper has been quite uninteresting for several weeks past to some of our reales (th. l.tlies espeeial!y,) stuffed as it has b-:en with itlitical articles of diff..rent degrees of dullnes.. As a relief therefore, we give below, ladies, for your especial betetit, and for the gratification of all who :o-e poetry better than polities, the fellowing beatti il! gemta. It is a favorite of ours, and we have no doubt every judge will agree in the opinion that it is well worthy of a MoUaa, a 'corT or a Bynos. If we are not int error, it is frots the pen of Judge Mrwt of Alabama, who is (after excepting our own WARana LI. DAVIs) the richest and nost glowing of American Poets. This single piece would entitle him to that meed of praise, iad ie never written another line. Now, read it attentively and we are sure you will pronounce tn right. COME TO THE SOUTH. Oh ! come to tle Southt, sweet beautiful one" T'is the elinic of the heart, the s:hrine of the Sun, Wlere the sky ever shines with a passionate glow, And tle flowers spread their treasures of crimson and snow; Where the breeze, o'er bright waters, wafls incense alontag A nd gay birds are gl.aneing in beauty and song, Where sutmner smiles ever o'er mounutain and plain, And the best g:fts of Eden, unsithadowed remain: Oh ! come to the South The shrine of the Sun, MA d dwell in its bowers, Swveet-beautiful one.

That certainly speaks volumes far the he;%:tlh of our city, and will be matter of as tollitmcit too those wipo have lteretefore regarled Charlestmn as a grave yard-the plague spot of the Union. It only proves what has alway9 been conl tended for by tie Press of Charleston, anad the unl prajudiced everywhere, v:z that our city is more healthy, and has a smaller bill of mnortality, than any city in the Union, of its population.
