TO THE WOMEN OF CAROLINA There has recently been formed an association, to which we would call your attention,.,and bespeak for it your earnest sympathy and hearty support. A body of ladies have organized a society for the purp<.se of aiding " The Calhoun Mionument Association" in collecting a sum sufficent to build up a lasting testimonial to the memory our own Calhoun. Each daughter of the State, by subearibing her name and one dollar, is entitled to the priv ilege of enlisting herself among this patriotic sisterhood. Now we earnestly call upon the daughters of Carolina zealously to embrace the opportunity afforded them of proving their patriotism; and thus wipe off the foul stain of ingratitude, with vrhich, as a. State, we are dishonored and re preached. But it has been, and may again be said, we iuilt no monument to Sumter and Marion, ,why then build one to Calhoun? In no system of logic do two wrongs make a right. Shall the thief say I stole yesterday, therefore it is right for-me'to 'steal to-day? Shall w6 omit deeds of charity this year because we 'were' blind to -our duty the last? Oh! no, let the good deedA of the present cancel. in some measure, the omissions of the past. In the name of patriotism,'in the name of jas. tice and- gratitude, we call upon the woman of Carolina to come forward and generously aid in this praisewothy cause. Never let, it be said of them that, cold and ungrateful, their hearts re fused to acknowledge the claim. and their hands to bestow a little mite upon this just and worthy undertaking. For our own sakes. let us not suffer Calhoun to sleep any longer beneath the lowly tomb that now covers him, a tomb far from being com mensurate with our gratitude or his worth. Let us not refuse to honor. him, who, for so many long years honored us; who, fighting man fully ourattles, perished in the midst of the weary conflict, with his armor on. Let not our glorious " Southern cross" fads from out the sky, and we raise no memorial to tell of the departed glory, that, resplended in beauty, tracked our firmament with sue'i lus trous light. Let the woman of Carolina rally in this cause, and, certain of success, we shallsce, gleaming in beauty, the memorial stone of a people's grati tude. Standing still and calm in marble majesty, it will yet speak eloquenty of a people's love, and the mothers of Carolina, gathering at its base, and, proudly pointing their sons to the honored name of Calhoun, shall bid them learn a lesson of Truth, Justice, and Virtue.-Evening News. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF FRENCH'S BALL CART RIDGE FACTORY. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon the building occupied as a f.wtory for the making of ball cartridges at Low er Ravenswood, Long Is land, blew up with an explosion that shook the houses in the neighborhood for two miles around, and breaking the windows of all those buildings which were wititin six hundred or eight hundred ket of the place. It was rented by Mar. French, who together with his ~son, are generally engag ed in the building, but being at the moment otherwise occupied, happily e-c:iped serious in jury, though Mr.Freich, sen. is suffering severe ly from contusions. The number of persons employed is general ly about thirty, being for the most part girls of the ages of ten to eighteen; but some men and youths also find work in the factory. The ex act number of lives lost is now not known, for, being the af:ernoon of Staurday, a greater or less nutmber than usual might -have been there, according to circumstainces. Our reporter was on the spot half an hour af ter it occurred, and the sight of such a sickening scene he hopes to be sparedagain. The site of the building and the surrounding lots were cov ered with the debris of the building, humian ti'mbs, and fragments of mpechinery. WVe saw a man draw from the~ mass the head of a little girl which he'knew was that of his dauighter by a bit of ribbon fastened to her hair; but any of her portion of the body lhe would never find, or if he found it he would never be able to say it was the body of hair chmild. . The precise cause oaf the explosion no one re mains 'o explaiin. It is known, however, that the stove used fur wairming the building was red hot, the day being very cold ; and from the highly combustible materials which were used in close proximity to it may readily be accoun ted fur by su pposmng some particle ignited -on the floor, and communicating with the articles in various stages of preparation caused the ex plosion. The shock occasioned by the explosion was tre miendous.uand was sensibly felt at a distance of six or eight miles; and durinig yesterday atfter noon a report was current in Williamnsburg and Brooklyn that an earth~quake had taken place somewhere upon the islanid. it is msupposed that there was about twenty persons in the building, and but three were known to have been taken out alive. The people of the village censure Mr. French :severely for not employing a greater degree of caution in his dangerouus mannfact.>ry, and es pecially for not appointing a judicons and expe zienced superintendent over his juvenile work men, many of whom were of tender yeairs, some of them being under twelve, andt only two or three adults among them, if ws are rightly in formed. Several of the Irish resident of the pIt:became, shortly, af'ter the occurance, qoite riOtous on the subject, and one was henrd. to threaten to " string up" Mr. F. Perhaps, in con sequence of thcse threats, that gentleman, with' -his family, have left the place temporarily. 'HON. L. K. EITT. The following.from the correspondent of the Charleston Standard contains an account of the Speech lately made in Congr.ess by the Hun. Laurence M. Keit: . Mr. Keitt made a poworful speech in th~e House yestterday, advo'cating the impositior af tonnage <t.ies as the best means to secure'econ omy in laying taxes. His arguents were clear, full, and unanswerable, and were received with marked attention by the House, and warmly ap planded by 'the galleries. Mr. Keitt said that South Carolina was re piublican and would support an'y administration, in the attempt to bring -back the Federal Gov ernment to.iis. primitive republican simplicity. South Carolina had never stooped from her high and sovereign positiion to mingle in the strife o party, and 'to gamble awamy her rights for pelfi and'patronage ; nor would her deleg.ition bind her to the ceni of party. She stan~ds upon the old republican plat form, which was wide enongh for all to stand upon, too narrow to shufle on. She was always first in the field of battle, when called upon, and if again demanded, to send her sons forth to battle, she would do so right mer rily, and would uphold our flag and ask no share of the spoils. , Hie would not discuss the slavery question for that institution was founded in the immutable law of God-that it was a great national neces sity-and was, as the South believed, thme corner stone of society. That class is an enduring, not~ a conquering one, and hence, the annals of that section are tiot stained with blood, nor its histo ry marked by popular violenee. Mr. Keitt showed the present canting, hype eritical abolitionists, in their true light, and strip-. ~ed from their persons all their garments of pro. t6iided phiratnthropy, and painted the character of the political demagogue in vivid and glaring colora. He did not ask for territory-he did not ask for Cuba war, but, under t wo contingencies, he would seize it and hold it, at all hazards. The first was, in case of European intervention in the affauirs of the island, and the second was, if Spain auem pled to emancipate the slac~es. REPEAL OF THEF MtIssoUR1 CoRzoms.-The Binghampitona Democrat,, a pnaper published in the immediamte neighborhood of Governor Dickinson, and which enjoys his peculiar confidence, comes out distinctly and uneqtuivoently in favor of re pnling nll the anti-slavery restrictions of the, 3iissouri compromise, so far as the territory, of Nebraska is concerned, and of ieaving it to the people of that territory to admit or exclude slavery, as they deem fit, when. they come to form a State constitution. - Dr. Adam Clarke hadi'a perI.ct bhoranse ofi both pork jand tobaccos lilt. is- repored to have s.nid " If I were to offerra satcrifice to the devil, u s....d ,e las ted nig. stnffh with tobacco." ABRIVAL 0F THE STRAlE ASIA. The British steamer, Asia, from- Liverpool' with dates to the. 14th ult., arrived atNew York y.esterday. LIVERPOOL CoTToN MARKET.-The sales of the week reach 39,000 .bales. Fair Orleans is quoted at 61, Middling 6 to 63; Fair Uplands 6 3-8. Middling 5g, The demand fair and hold ers firm, with moderate sales to the trade. Spee ulators have taken 4,000 bales, and Exporters 2,000. The Turks have gained a victory near Kala fat. The Porte consents to negotiate. The British and French fleots were still in the Black Sea. The latest rumors from St. Petersburg were more pacific. The allied fleets all proceeded to the Black Sea on the 3d, except six ships left at Bujores 1 Bay to guard the Bosphorus. The first division remains anchored at the Rapids. The Czar, it is said, is not disposed to view the entry of the fleet as a declaration of war, but has ordered all his own fleet to return to Sebas. topul. On the 6th of January the Turks gained a brilliat victory on the Danube. They stormed and carried the Russian entrenchments at Camp Itali, near Kalifat and put twenty-five of the enemy to the sword. They also attacked a body of eighteen thousand Russians sent to relieve Citati, and after a sharp encounter, compelled them to retreat. ~ The Russians are thus driven back from positions at which they heped to cross the Danube. The Turkish. force in battle, was fifteen thousand men and fifteen guns, and it is admitted that Omer Paseba brilliantly out manoeuvred the Russian Commander. Other advantages were formally noticed by the Divan on the 1st inst., to the ambassadors of the Four Powers, but the details are not given. Supposed to be the storming and capture of Karakol, with several skirmishes. - It is confirmed that Persia has resumed nego tiations with Great Britain, and will not at pres. ent attack the Turks. The American ships, Edward Ward Fletcher and Condor, had been fallen in with at. sea. wrecked. The crews and passengers were saved. The infant Princess of Spain, died suddenly. The Rev. ins. C. Richmond complains that he is detained in prison by the Austrian police at Rehene. Hungnry calls on the United States for redress. e 'Te edfrisr. ARTHUR SIMKINSJ EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C.

Plank Roads-What they do .for the Farmer, Mr. EnIoR :-As the Advertfier is a medium for the communication of ideas' and information, permit me, through its columns, to tell to your read era, what I.think and know of the Plani Road sys tem ; a system which, though successfully tested in our own District, has not yet received the favor and support from the farmer that its merits and his in terests demand.. There are those among us, whose incredulity or wani of observation veil from their eyes the truth, and they still regard this system of improvement as one of the chimeras of the times, or us one of the meteoric humbugs of modern pro gressists. There are men in all communities, whose mental obliquity and narrowness of purpose, keep them. in the rear of great and beneficial results until faster and more expansive minds have established their truth by hazardous experiment and practical success. Such skeptical obtimista ejist in this com munity ; individuals who decry every thing that savours of improvement as the abortion of "Young America's" progressive genius, and oppose it with all the violence of envy and fogyism. This class of citizens are usually denominated ' Old Fogies,". -not because they are old men, I apprehend, but because they read old books (I love old books) or no books at all,. and pertinaeiously'adhere to old prin ciples and antique customs. They live in'error, and are one of the retarding elements to human ad vancement; they are drones in society, and theit blighting influence is manifest -spon the manly struggle-s of every laudable enterpriie. It were a waste of time to attempt the h'reslean task of re moving the optical scales that hide truth from these interesting specimens of the genus Aon; they are " joined unto their idols," and'with them " let Na tare take its course." It is to the doubtful, the timid and the active friends ahd staunch b'elievcrs in Plank Rands that I would speak. I would convince thu doubtful; dis pel the fears of the timid, and encourace the ad vanced and enterprising few who are already en gaged in the good work. I am no enemy to Rail Roads. So far from it, I hope to see every Road now projected in the State, completed and in successful operation. In a politi cal and Comimercal point of view, Rnil Roads are far-very far superior to any and all other systems of intercommunicetion, travel and transportation; but for social and agrieutural purposes, Plank Road. claim superiority, and they are infinitely of greater utility, convenience and advantage to Vil-, lages and farming communities through which they pass, than any other system of road-making. yet presented to our.understanding. I have had occasion to give'some attentipn to the history, cons tructien. and etliet of Plank Roads,; and the result of my linited invest'gations, has been to impress'upoti~ my mind three important truths: Firt, that Plank Roads are cheaper in-constructiun and repairs than any other system : Second, that they enhance the value of adjacent landed interests in a greater ratio, and enable the planter to realise greater profits than lo any other Road ; and lastly, that they pay better dividends to Stockholders than any'other Roads. These ure the rules-there may be isolated exceptions. Departing from the un1a sermonienl order of discussing a three-feeld subject, I proposee to vindi ente the second truth only in this pape-r-nnmmely, that Plaenk-Roads tend in a greater degree to ap preciate hnndid property, and are of greater and more general utty to the farm r,- than-Rail Ronds are. (i enn inestitute' cempalisori with' no tlier system, because we have no other amoijus ex~.p'f the old fashioned sand rend.) - -- It has long sinefe been'aceeededlby anl observincg rmen,.timt~land.inerenses in value, coerrppsndittgty: with thme increase of facilities for the transpcortaione *of the products of the soil '-to market ; and thi, I take it, is a rule that has nn excepition where'the -soil will sprout peas. yr produeb. wherteberries: for if it heella good in one case it must in .all. If then the facilitier aff'oreled the planter and the landholder, for the transportaiomn of their' produce to* market, and their sucpplies in return, by the Plank Road ,are equal to the- facilities acquired by Rail Road, the app~reciation, or e'nlinneenment of the value of their land must be in the samne ratio. But Plank Roads confer domestic or local nadvantages, which the Rail .RoadJdes not, over and abuove the m~aketing. con venience, that materially effect and icfluence the prices of real e-state, as I shall presently proceed to show. liail Rosds are e~minently useful in their peculiar and most natural sphere-thie shortening of distan ce's and the atinihilation oef time. They are often of incalculable advantage to the Cities, Towns and Vi'lages situated at their termaini. To the -*lanu facturer they furnish the cheapest meani 'for. thie transpertatioen ofhi ishnery, Cuotte'ns, Clothe and Casisimeres; and to the Mierchant they are of' very great utility anid coenveniencee. In -the con mon course of trade, he necessaily iccumnues- . at short pe.riods-large quantities. of produce and merchandeise in his stores. and the frequent changes, and riapid' fuctuations of prices requirs-that lhe should have the convenience of quick transit, and rapid ex change, in order to enable him to realise a profitable yield upon the hazard of his capital. And to the moelern traveller's peace and comrfeort, they are a sine qua non, Ile lives, moves and has his being amid a constant clash-cra'.h uproarious-rush hither and thither ; acid he ice borne aloneg in a confused: train of-theought, as fast as thce come.t's flight,;dispos ing oif brain-ipresime, ideas and objects, as they enter his craneum, with correspondiig rapi'dtj, until speed becoines hiis ruling jnissien, wehen ie is seized with a fit of geo-a-hcead-itiveness, and at fuorty mil~es per hocur, annthema~tises Rail Roads'in general for nest running ahead of timce. (it is no bull,' I mean schedule time..) R ail Roads are also useful and necessary for Government purposes, and the politi enl advancement and aggrancdit.ement of ouri conmion country. 'Icn the'trnnsnciission of slaves, troops, mail matter, &c., the exchaenge of commnodties between differenit and remiote elimces, and the intercomimuni (cation of different States, andl differ'ent Feetions of this world of Sea-girt freemen, their good influence is sensibly felt aned gratefully acknowlkdged In all these particulars, rhank Reoads, of course, will be ove-r-shaidowed by a comparison ; but there are local peursuits, home wants, social -pleasures, and agricultural interests to be s'ubse rve'd, that arc of paramount importance to a laniting people j'and before which these floating elemecits of society aned Government sink into cocmparitive insigniclance. To the planter, Rail Roads are of no earthly advran' taige, except for the carrying of hiis produce acnd facmily supplies ; and to patronise them in this re spect, lhe does a losing business, provided he is blessed with the convenience of a well-constructed Plank R oad. Ie derives no ad vantage from them in his intercourse with his neighbours; no advan tage in the domestic labour. of husbandry ; none in the convenience, safety and comfort of his family, and none in the wear scnd tear of his wheels, or in the vitaelity and endurance of his hiorses; The Cars may run through his yard, and yet hec will fied it inconvenient, and, in a degree, unsafe to carry hiis his wife and children aboard for~ the purpoese of. pay ing a social visit to his neighbour.; he cannot drive hiis team oin board to go to a remiot6.fleld, a neigh boring mill or village; nor can, he make the Rail Road subserve his purposes for gathering in beis crops, or hauling his lumber and fire-wood. For all these homme purposes the Rail Road leaves him 1. exnetly the same condition in whieh it finds him, and tilheCars'on'y salute heimc, as they pass his doajr, wvithi a whiistle and a puf. What do.Plank Roads do. few hinm t They find! him sa Rail Roeads do, plodding along, toiling and struggling theroughe the mud, breaking his wheels andJ kiing his. hores in gning to and returnii from his fields, his forests, his mill, his neighbours, his place of trade and his Church. They give him a good, hard, passable-Road,e'very day in the year ; they take his wheels out of t ind, and his horses too; and at-ill times, iad l6.'pkinds of weather enable him to perform his socia' and business inter course with his nighbors,. his domestic Carrying, and -his various hot e duties. with much more ease, in less time, and with one-half -the labor. ~.When his glebe is too wet for the trenching plow,. he can employ his domestics and his team, in a thousand ways about his farm, assisting his neightors, car rying off his produce, &o; he is never obliged to stable his team, or idle his time in consequence of bad raiads, for he ha, :t good road; as well- in wet as dry weather. Nor does he- wear and break his wagon upon flank Roads. It is estimated that wheels amd tire will wear four times as long upon Plank Roads, na they will 'upon the common or Macadamised Noad. And it is also a well estab lished fact that, with reasonable Aid humane travel ing, horses will last much -longer.on Plank Road., than on any other :--it is fast driving and rnismian agement, and not the: weight or hind, that makes the horse fail before his time. The folluwing remarks of.Mr. KING5wAO, Civil Ejginear on the Tudson River Rail Road, in 1850,'ae adniirably illustrative of this part of'my subject-they are an extract from his valuable pamphlet on. the Mllistory, Structure and Statistics of Plank.Roasi" :lie says, ".it has been asserted that horses traveling mostly or occa sionally on Plank Rotnds are ruined before their time. But it will be found that this opinion rests altogether upon what is observed to occur, either where the plank surface is badiy' constructed, or whire the power of the animal is mismanaged. If, for instance, the stringers are laid without care, the perculation of the water increase. the defect, and- any weight passing over the Road is sueceeded by a rebound varying with the veloeity of. the paswage: and it is this rebound or elasticity which operates pritieipally on the horse. It is only necessary for a nian to run some little- distance on a causeway, hiving this defect, and he will feel at once the difference between a well and ill construt.-d Reid. Mliusmanagement is a prin eiple ani frequent can ie of the deterioration of the horse's vitality and endurance. Owing to the tri fling resistance encourtered in' a Plank Road, ani the consequent ease with which a great weight is drawn, drivers, without notiemg~l e rate at which they travel, pre-s their horses beyond their strength. The axiom has long been received, that it is speed, not weigh1t, w hieh destroys the.he-r-e. It is the pact that kills.' The argument agihit.st Plank Roah', de rived from this observs.tion, asianaking its inference from. the very exellenie of tile: Road, is palpably viciins. In reality, there is lothing to warrant the inference, that the horte ai a suf'erer on a well-made Plank Road. On the contratf,it may be said with out contradiction, thiatthe I iue,'lahcn not pres ed beyond his strength, can wolrk,longer, and be always in better condition, on a Plank..Road,- than on any Rt-sad whatso.ev, r. If I have spsoken the truth thus far, and I challenge contradiction. It will be aeen.that for :all local and domestie purposes, the Plank, Road has a decided adanta-ge over the IRai: Rimad'abd ill other Roads. I shall now procee-d to thO'e on~Ideratioin of the cmptlarative advauntages of Phsiik Roads, to thie plan ter, in the transposrtuati of- his produce to mas-ket: And he-re I must be albowed toimiitibte an asunmp tie argument. in orilet tus afve dt'reliable data.

I must premise the Phunk Road side of thte que-s tion, with theohservation -that the planter runs hi. own team and driver; :uad that in the winter ot market going season, though. obliged to kceep themr, he has but little use fosr them pn .his farm, andt o:1 the road they consume at. more food thani at home, This beirng the case; it is unfair to argue th-at hi, team and driver cost him tie same, omn the road, that he would be require.l to pay, were. he to em play his neighbor's team anid. drive-r, fur the simpl reason before statted, that' t -'ost -him no tmore te feud on the road than' it does at-home ; anid the time ail labor only can be admitted in the argau meat, and counted as cash-. paid out. -Well, then, on the Plack Road, with six horses he can, with the greatest case, draw tweenty bale, of cottona, or 7000 Ibia.

R. $71 25 From these figures it appears that the Plank Road is the cheapest, by $35 25, in the transportaition of sixty bales of cotton ; or 58 cents on the bale; stnd that he actually saves, by his own carrying, $71 25, or ' l 1'n the bale.. Iwill meet the argument that time and- labor- are money, with. the aiitmle re mark thait it is better for the~ planter to turn his tstme ad labor into cash, than to. pay out time and labor to others-in the shape of doklars and en m-while e destruoys the samne amount at home in initeness ; r..ur f. ....he .,. re,,n a eding nothng aud cin ploys other means to carry off his produce, his out goings are two fuld-his own lost time, and the amount paid out for carrying. Then the Plank Road system is the cheapest: is it so expedjtious? I will look into the facts and see. It is reasonable to suppose that, as a general rule, two days will be consumed by the planter in placing his sixty Hales-on the line of Road, or at a station; atin from the known negligence and careless indiffer 'ent~e of Rail Road Companies, it may safely be as surged that one day will be consumed in inading, one in transit, anti one in discharging. After this the. cotton goes into the hands of the .Factor, in whose warehouse it may remain for one, twor three, fire or ten days, as the case may be; so that ten days may, with all safety. be set down as the time required for the bhipmrnt, sale and return of the proceeds. This is two days less time than the s:xty bales can be transported in. with only one team, which of course, in that ease, makes the R. Road the most expeditious ; but it is seldom the ease that the planter desires to sell his entire crop at the amre time; it is more frequently the case that he finds it inexpe dient, and to his advantage to se'nd it off as he gins and packs it-say one or two loands at a tine. In-!his.case, it will be seen, that the Plank Road is by far the most expeditious. I! have sueceded in establishing my premises, and the truth appears that Plank Road fteilities. for social and nricultural purposes, are equal to those allerde'd by Rail Roads; the rule with which I set out is app'ieable, and the appreciation of landed in terest, by the construction .or Phtnk Roads, is equal to the enhancement under the operations of Rail Roai. A few wordls. on this point. Mr. Enmtoa, and I shall chose my argument upon this branch of the sub jent. The history of Plank Reaed, and their influence upon the prices of land, show an invariable and al most inered'ble rise in the value of real estate. In the State of Yew York, where this system has been worked to a greater extent than in any other por tion of the country, the increased value of land, in consequence of the acquired f'aelities for marketing, is double the usual increase on the line of Rail Roads. Albany has three Rnnk Roads, upon all of which the prce of land has increased 30 per cent ; on the Amsterdam and Fish-house Road it has inerensed 311 per cent; on.the Fonda and Caraga Road 300 per cent ; on the Farm Roads, converging towards -iUtiea, 25 per cent; on the three Roads radiating from Rome, 500 per cent; an the five Roads leading out from Syraeuse. 700 to 1000 per cent; on the two Oswego Roiois, 50 per cent ; nad on the Rochester. Road, 50 per cent."' What cheering results; on nineteen Plank Roads, in one State, the average in crease in the value of landed property, is 282 per et. In our sister State, North Carolina, the same results have been experienced. The town of Fayetville is the converging point of five Plank RIaids, which rtraverse a gre at deal of poor pine lands, as well as extensive areas of !.oad farming land; these Roads are e..mpleted to the extent of near three humlred moile s, aird the average increase in the value of the hmds lying adjacent to them. is estimateed at 200 to 300 per cent. Although I could adduce instunees of this sort from every State in the Unlon wheare the Plank Itoad system has been adopt. l to adny extentI as also from the Canundas where the systema is held in high estima~tion: sane moire instar.ee will suffice my purpose, as with it the most of your readers are fzenilar.. I allu-le to the I1amuburg nnda Edgefi- Id Plank lRiad. Upon the line of this Road, the in crease v'alue of land varies neeur.ing to, the- distaence it lies from the. lower terminus ;fo.r the first eight miles fronm Ilamblurg, the increase is estimnatedl at 25 puer cent, (let it be rememitbe'red that on this part of the Road thtere is no~ woo.d or timbe-r, it all haviner been' cut and carried ell' yearlago); above this .the increase in value is gralun1 until at the Pine H~ouse. a distanee of twenty miles, it reaches l1tn per eeit. and varies aieording to !oenl:ty. All these benefi-. eal and profitable results, nre the effict of aeired and incerease~d agrieu'ttural and. nenrket ing facilities. No such results ehnuracterf e the Ranil Rond aystem, uk-ss it be in the minds of inter. sted enthiusinets, whose objects are to "secure thte charter." .. 1 have now dlone with this branch of the subject.
