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

Foa rtnE ADvERTisUR.
Ma. EDai'oR,--I was forcibly implressed by an
article over te signtature of " GREENwooD,' sug
gesting te imnport~aace of a Rail Rad from the
Village of Greenwotod to Haamburg, via Edgefieldl
C. HI., wvhicha appeared in the Advertiser of the 9th
instant.
If the- writer proves as liberal in subseriinag Stock,
as he has shtewn himself bold in recommending the
toterprize to others, then may we expect thae aid of
uts examtple, as well us his precept. But if he is
ike somne othters, whlo contribute Speeches and
Newspatper artioles, inastetad of Cash, (hen, though

ttfortunoate in not being actuated by highter motive.,

thema into the belief, that i$ is tieir -nmerest " I
" rob Cohinibia' and give to Edgefield C. H.. th,
ill-gottta treasure. However, after trying t; tickl
the vanity of Edgefield, he exposes his true motives
and that is to reach Hamburg and A nucsa. on'
stopping to say, "How do ye dip," to Eigefiel.
I will suegest an amen ient to the project t
" Gavr.swoov," which I thuk he will neeri.t. if h
will lay aside hill antiquated Gerography, and take u
a late nap of the State Heiwill there 5ee, tha ther
is a large Merenntile Cityon the sen-board eales
Charleston, and that a *il Roail runa front sai
City within twenty-five 4es of Edgefieil C. I
I suggest then, imitId of turning to the right t
reach Hnmburg, that we continuie straight alben
from Edgefield and reacli the Carulina Road a
Aiken. The laws of trade and tle interest of th
country, demand as direct i Road to Market as pos
sible, and a nian hailing fraim the beautiful Villag
of Greenwood must be insensible to butl, wh
would desire a Road from otbat 'place to Hanmburi
via any pince.
Let us then throw off alt false colors-let us pine
the enterpi ize on higher gr mud than tlia of " rob
bing" our Capitol, one of the prettiest Towns in thl
Suuthern States, arid one that richly deserves al
that she has gained by herfoirmer liberality. With
out studying to break doit other interests, let u
simply ask ourselves the question, is it nut the ini
terest of Edgefield and the Upper-Districts to hav
a direct Road to Charleston. - If so, Mr. EDITOR
then let us unite in buildinoone from Greenwood t
Aiken. - .ABBEVILLE.

CHARLE STON, February 19, 1853.
V The young folks of our gay city have b,-en am sin
themiselves very extensive!y in the prvileges viou -h
safel to them by the annual return of the 14th day
or Fe-bruary. Upwards of two thousand miss Ves.
Lome of which were no dloubt 4 meait for the moviii

made pretty a.stensive sa!ee.
That Charlestion has fully regain'l her wonted
heiath again, we ne.: only refer fior proaf to the
bill 4,f mortilty as reportel for last week, in which,
t not a single wh:te death app-ars out of a popul..t oil
of thirty thousand. 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.
The weath.:r still euntinnes ca-ar, dry anal warm
unusually so for the season. The streets are li led
with clouds of dust, and the walls and.e.sterns are
rap:dly failing. We shall soon feel the eilts ot
Sthis long catinuel dry weather, ami there is very
attle prospect now of a shower soon. Such a temper
attire as the present will soon pnt air gardens in full
blaom, and clothe the farest in the green livery of
-epring. Que extreme is apt to fol!ow another, and
we may look tr a cola, wet, dsagreeable March.
