I We find the following paragrauph running the rounds of a certain class of. newspapers. It re- I fers to the Fugitive Slave law: -"rhe South has gained nothing but a loss by this law. It was a stupid blunder on the part of Southern statesmen. The value of the slave lost is eaten tup if capture follows, while hatred to the institution abroad and oppolsitiont to it at home, are increased by its hard features a nd the barbarous enforcement <f them."'-Ci,:rleston Mercury. We shall not say that such a paragraph never appeared in- the Mercury, though we have no recollection of it, and at least can assert that the language at the close has nut now, and never had, the approval of any one connected with the editorship of this journal. .lif it ever appeared in this paper it was by accident, and during the a heated controversy that immiediaitely followed a the Compromise acts. To quote it as pairt of I the current opinion of-the day, is to practice a gross imposition on the public. Concedingv the right of Congress to execute that provision of I the Constitution, we have never doubted that the law was in form and substance a just and proper law. Our objections to it were that it would not and could not be executed, except min so inconsiderable a number of caises and at such cost and peril as to deprive it of its all imupor tance to the interests of the Southern planters; while. on the other haund, it assumed to be so complete and effective a remedy, that its cont cession was made an excuse by Southern tritm mers for surrendering the most important inter- d ests of their constituetnts and dooming thbe South to hopeless weakness and inferiority in the Union. .But the use which is made of the paragraph above quoted, is not the least curious part of the fraud. As we said, if it ever did, by chance, appear in the Mercury, it was some three yearsv ago, when we were urgtng secesson as the only way to save the south from the anti-slavery ag gressions of the north, It is now quoted by such papers as the Richmond Examiner, to prove that the Mercury has lowered its tone on thed slavery question, in compliment to the 'Presi-a dent's alleged league with the free-soilers! Real- a -ly these small politicians are about the coarsest, a and least interesting specimens of the mounte- c bank that even this juggling age can show. -The Examiner need not be in doubt'as to the p rounds of our support of the Adnministration. f Ve have thorough cotnfidence in the President's I good faith on the slavery question. We believe a the Administration is favorable to free trade and ecoomcal e~penditure, and will do what it can r in that direction. Finally, we cannot but ac knowledge that it is a working Administration, and has put the affairs of the several depart ments * n better condition than they have been for mah ny years. Tbese are sufficient reasons for that general support which we offer to the Admmds tration. If the Examiner can find as goqd rea. a vsons for opposing it, we shatll be glad to htear them-Cha~e~OU Mrcur. t ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEFIELD,.S. C. WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11, 1854. A Dun. Ava, a dun! It's the very reason for it. Every ody else is dunning, and a hy may not we ? Our subscribers need but a hint. We think there are no better nor more punctual newspaper subscribers in he State than ours. A -few sad exceptions there are f course. We scarcely ever heard of a flock that ad not some black sheep among them. So it is with Par flock. But we have hopes of the very worst of hem yet. Now then, dear subscribers, is the time ve particularly need funds. Call in and settle. We Wow you will. Our Schools Aaax again opened for 1854. We are rind to learn hat their prospects are fine. ,Ir. Lvrrx:a's has only eached its second week, and already rmbers over buty. Mlany more are expected. Let them come on. Ir. L..will have an efficient Assistant as soon as is necessary. Rev. M1r. RAYoND's School for Young Ladies was opened this week. We have not heard how many are n attendance, but perceive- that several from abroad save already arrived. The Institute will be full in a eek or two. a We suppose Mrs. IcKtL-ocK will also re-open er excellent School for Children, but have not heard ositiv.-ly. They hre all schools of the very hest character in eir respective spheres, and must succeed. More Turnips. Tne finest, whitest and plumpest Turnip we have ver seen was placed upon our table the other day by fr. W. L. PARKs of the Dark corner. It weighed a raction over sctvn pounds. We do not claim the eight against all other turnips,. but we do the looks. A Now-Year's Gift. As esteemed friend sends as a very acceptable New 'ear's gtft in the shape of a two dollar bill for a new ubscriber. Receive our best thanks, dear sir; you now how to do a handsone thing. Will not many more of our suh.cribers follow suit this kind act. Please try. Without much trouble, any could do so at once. Shall not the mails for anuary bring us at least a hidred ? They shall all regarded as new-year's gifts.and the Editor, Pub sler and Printers will all be thatnkful indeed. An Omnibus needed. Oaa Village and Hamburg are now united by At ontinuous Plank Road. A part of tie Road is in fine der and the rest is being well repaired. We lack ow an Omnibus line between the two places. It ccurs to us that it would pay well at $1 50 a passen er. A two-horse.Omnihts would do. It could carry n, and that would be enough. When fasengers ould be lacking, sonme ethpr freight would- always e at hand. Capt. W.ARD gave some of us to under and that Ie intended starting such a line. Where re you, Captain ? The Oumnibus is called for and adly wanted. We " looks towards you." And it is aped that the idea, which is a good one, will be car ied out. If the Captain wont do it, somebody onght . It would be no great out-lay, and would certainly e a good investment.

A former -citizen of this District irites to us from Alabama in the following language: I am living in the Democratic County of Clark~ here wse poll asomething like a thonitand votes. Seven undredl of them are Dem'crsatic. Let what will be tid, I am for South Carolina. right or wvroing. I have x children, two eons and. four iauighters.

Of all the sports still in vogue, racing is certain the finest, and, we may add, prodiuctive of thme most seful results. Its tendetncy is to improve thte breed the nesxt animal to man. Besidles, its all-absrbinag scitement is apt to lift onte above inure sordid and rovelling amnusetments. 1lThe strong temptattiotn it offers betting is its greatest fault. A fellow, wvho htas ever before hazarded more thtan a peek of peachies t a foot-race, is atpt to be led on by te furor of a eat imatch-race to a cool $100. IThis is the mischtief the thinig.

We are very sorry to observe thtat this newly estab shed ctntral paper has so completely given itself up wragings with thte Union. A few chapters of cla stuff, well spicedl, would ntot perhaps htave been miss. But whten every nuimber, and almost every rticle, comtes taitnted witha thte saame old bile, the thting comes absolutely reptignant to all the suggestions oth of good taste aind of sounod policy. We trust thte etainel" will cease these recriminations atid give us cal after peal in the style of the followinig extract ich we clip from its issue of the 1st Istant : We repeat that we do sustain the slave institutions fthe southt. Thtose irnsittiions are recognized by the :onstitution of the United States, and the rights cf ie slavehtolder are recognized by the Contstitution of e United States, and by the detnocratic platform alopted at Bahiimore. Withnut such recogntition, the otistutinn of the Utitied States cotttd not have been ~aed. Without such recogrition, thte Constittution f the Utnited States could never have been adopted. githout such recognition. there would have been no maratic port y-no democratic convetnti at Balti tore, andl Baltimore platform to he cnnstrued dishlon atly by dishonest men, or to be construed fairly by ir en. nt we do not hide our heads tinder the letter of the otstitution, nor under the adoption of thie Constito n-nor urtder the Baltimore platform.. On the con: try, we say to the n unile world that as an original titter wve would perish in our tracks sormner than we d yield one inch to abolition fantaticistm. Our Enemies Pray. Wrru what intense satisfaction are the Whigs irougout the coetntry gloatittg over the prospect of a isrption of the Democratic party ! Their exponents mong the Press are so happy in the anticipation as to how the wildest expressions of joy to escape them gain and again. One of the last atnd mtost jubilant these we find in a Georgia jortnal, coupled with e following bitter prayer: "-Let it" (the /kmocratic arIty) "fall; and our prayer to God is that it may LI, like Luceifer. never to rise again!I" And shtall letnocats patnder to thiese flerce tdesires by bickerings ong themselves, which, if encouraged, may raise a rm to their own destruCtionl Should they not tther smnother their internal feuds andl still rally, a oted band, around one batner, againist the common. semy ? Thus alone carr thieii.principles retain the teendant. F'or the best babies. We see that premiums are olered: for the best one od two year old babies to be exhibited at the next orgia Fair. Thtis oughtt to have beent known about The Augusta Bridge. W E reget to see that the Editors in Augusta have spoken in such extravagant and un warranted terms in reference to the late action of our Legislature in the matter of the Augusta. Bridge. They have evidently been premature and, knowing them as we do, we feel certain that upon a proper presentation of the case they will regret the denunciatory complexion of their comments. Our attention has been called to the mat ter too late to admit of our broaching the subject in reply this week. But from the insight we have into the question, it occurs to us that thbre'will be no dif ficulty in showing that South Carolina needs here neither the excuse of "inadvertance," nor of "pre 'cipitation" nor of" ignorance," The action of the Le gislature was based upon justice and equity, as we undertake to prove at another time. For the present, we meet the assertions of the Constitutionalist, each and every one of them, with a direct negation. And we deceive ourself if we shall not he able to adduce reasons.for our position satisfactory to every candid mind. We might retort upon our neighbor's mention of the "gross want of faith" on our side of the river, by call. iN his attention to the grasping rapacity of a certain city Arporation we ken of. But this would be un kind. And we wish to conduct the discussion without acrimony. 4 Next week, we hope to justify the action of our Le gislature.. An evil fore-shadowing. ,A young mart.f intelligence and high ebaracter de livered an address at the Capital of our State, during the recent Syssion of our Legislature, in which (among otlher things) he advocated a certain system of educa. tion. He opposed the present Free School system on the ground of its inadequacy to acconplish any good. Ile maintained-tile expediency of adupting some plan (not defined) which should assimilate to the old Athe nian moele, arguing that the "citizen" would thereby be improved and elerated in a degree unknown to the present edl neational era. For thus independently expressing his convictions I tpon this important subject, he was horned " in efli gy," at Columbia and at-Ciharlestn. by excited mobs We regard the development as an evil foreshadowmtg for South Carolina. It.is well calculated to fill each patriotic bosom with serious fears lest the flood-gates of mobocracy and turbulence are being opened up in. our midst. It is an apyroximation to some of those scenes of riot und mis-rule wihich we have hitherto regarded as peculiar to the mongrel population of the Northern Cities. And, for one, we feel impelled to raise our voice in condeunation. MTost of our readers nill know at once that our al lusions here are to Mr. TAnEa, of the Charleston Aer rury, and the manifestations made in consequence of his late effort at the quinquenial meeting of his Col lege Class. It is no excuse to say that these manifes. tations acre based upon a report of Mr. TAsan's re. maks asgiven by the Southern Patriot. To proceed I against a respectable fellow-citizen with the extreme of insult on the bare ground of a hasty letter-writer's broad assertions, is the very thing against which we here remonstrate; evidencing as it does a disposition to pre-judge nud injure any one who shall venture in the spirit of true independence to touch freely upon ques tions of public policy without regard to the whims and jealousies of any class or set of met. We have read 3Mr. TAnt:tt's printed speech, nhich its lie earnestly avers, contains ill the oupinions lie ut. tered on the occasion of its delivery. With some of his notions.we do not agree. But abounding as his remarks do with eloqent sentiments and beautiful illustrations, we have nt heriuation in saying that we have been much pleased witha it as a whole. Great injusetice liar been doneiu Mr. TlAaEn, and we Iope for the sake of aill corteernedl, that ample repant tion will he meted out by thosie who have, in so mits guded a manner, wvoundled the feelmtgs of an honora 1le and worthy felhauv-ritizen. -Winter. - Foa twenty days past we have had a fine a spell f oldl-fashtioned Witier as anay one coul desire, made ip of snows, anid frosts, anid sleets, and thte coldlest kind of rain.s.

And all through the stimmer you may work with some heart, with your crop looking green and vigorous, while your always-in-a hurry neighbors will contemplate, with awful faces, their pale and dirt-eating corn and cotton plants. The truth is,there's neither utility nor philosophy in being in a hurry. Even'in matters requiring haste, a certain legrcc of circumspection is necessary. A man that is always in a hurry is cousin-german to the one that always has things " that will do for the present. So just try the experiment of " keeping cool" and not being a hurry,'and see if things don't work better. ELPIS. . ARRIVAL OF THE STEA1MER CANADA.

It is presumed that the Czar will regard this as an act of war, and withdraw his Ministers from London and Paris. The Rus-ians attacked Kalafat on the 13th of November, but were repulsed with gre:t loss. Two Russi:n steamers with gnn boats, had attacked Matlehin. on the Dantibe.

The Vienna papers state that the allied fleet. had entered the Black Sea on a peaceful erran. to prevent further collision between the Rus:-ian and Turkish naval forces. The rupture between Persia and England happened anterior to the declaration of war by Persia against 'Turkev, and was oecasuotied by an insult having been offered to the British anb.ts s.idor at 'Teheran.

JOHN VRASER.-WC are pain ed to announce the death of this old and honor ed Merchant, which occurred on Monday. Mr. Fraser was over seventy-five vears of age, and w:.s, with a single exception, the oldest Mer chant in Charlestor. He was born in Inverness, Scotland, of highly reputable parentage, and re ceived a good education in his native country. le prepared for his after career in one of the. lirat Commercial iouses of London. nod came to this countrv in 1801. Atbout 1803 he wen into buliness iunder the firm of Men:.is and Frat ser, afterwards Cuit antid Fraser, and finally Jnhn Frnser and Co. by which title it hay been known le this ti:ne. Fur just half a century, then, 11r. Fraser has been an es:tblished Mer. ehmn; in Charleaton. and for a large portion of that time he has hell rank among the fi:st. In bu.,ines he was systematic, sagacious and governeul by the highest sense of commercial honor. His word was ever as good as his bond, and in his whole h.log career no one has had to e:ill twice on him for a just debt, nor has lie iev er had a note protested. In all the telations of life Mr. Fraser main tained an unsullied reputation, nnd ripe in years, ho descends to le grave amidst the regrets of a whole community. to whom his stecessful career has been an honor and a benefit.-Char luston Mercury.

It is quite pissi ble, owing to the low state of varinis Sou:hern rivers, very few of which ire in navigable coidi tion, thait the teliit may reach 650,000 bales or even ntire, and it is also probable that the m:.xi umi to decrease when attained may dinioiih very slowly fir mi any weeks there.ter.
