GExTLEiMEx: Your note of the 4th inst.. was received a few days :qo, and yon will believe me, that it is with no common feelings that I take up my pen to respond. Its real kindness of tone, the source whence it comes, the object de.igrned.and above all the cir cumstances to which I feel constrained to ascribe it, !nake me as keenly sensible of my obligations to you a" eager to express them. ly personal acquaintance with your section of the State is very limited. Ahheville and Greenwood are known to inc only through the medium of an honorable history-as the cradle of good old ,-Carolina virtues, and the home of intelligence and patriotism. The noble object, too, contem plated, in which my whole nature sympathizes, presents a still hitleia' reason why I should not forego this opportunity of visiting you. With repeated assurance. therefore, gentlemen of my gratitude to you, I cheerfully accept the invita. tion to address you, on the 31st of March, at Greenrood. Yours respeettully, W. t.

We assure him that his series of articles vell be cheerfully published and as regularly too as they are received. " ADnr.VILLE" will find that his call for " SALUDA" has been anticilated by that writer. Both pieces were received nearly a week since, and but for sone irregularity in the nail:, would have been in full time for our last issue.

Y., a small volume enti tied " Hot Corn," written by SOLON RosIson. It is rather a succession of stories than a continuous nar rative. The material for these is drawn from that miserable sink of pollution, the Five-points of New York city. One of the incidents (regarded by the au thor perhaps as more striking titan the rest) has refer ence to a young girl who sold " Hot Corn," up and down Broadway, and hence the title of the pro duction. We suppose this volume is sent to its to draw forth a puft But really we cannpt affiard it. The fictions or facts if they:be such, .whicin it contas, are com mon place and barren of interest, while the style of narrative is far from being polished. Still it is a nell. bound little book, has a pretty fair moral vein running through it, and, very possibly, may please many rea ders. It is a Temperance book too, nith (strange to say, considering its birth-place !) not a touch of aboli tionism from beginning to end. Others may like So lot's "hot Corn," better titan we. If so, buy it and try it. Remit an order to D & D) enclosing 50h ens and ii will be sent to you post haste. If D & D will tender us a good book or two, we'll show them a puff" as is a puff." Afiirs at Washington. AMoNG other things' front the Federal City, we have latterly received the speech of Senator Dotuut.atss, on the question of superseding the " Missouri C;ompro mie." It is a clear, manily and decidedly nmeritorious effort. With no pretetnsions to ornament, it is direct and pertinent throughuint. lie proposes to supersede the "M3issouri Compro mise," by which, in 18-0, Congress assutmedj..A-t portion of our territory lying above the line of 36* 30't Northn Latitude. This was the houndary otur North ern masters then prescribed to us. It was iended to debar us entrance into the territory acqutired from France, exc-ept below that line. And when we ac quired territory from Mlexico, which was rich and vluable, beeloto that line, they refused to give us equal privileges of emigration or to extend the same line West to the Pacific. So again, in 1833, a Compro mise was made, reducing the T1ariff for protection in certain proportionis every two years, until at the end of a decade we were to be lessed with Free Trradle, or ad-valorem 20 per cent duties, equal on all things. We submitted to Protection te~n years with the pletdge that our rights were to he respected at the end of that time. Northern interests took the benefit of the first ine years, and before the tereth had extnired, a ne w 'rrif was passed more odiotus in its protective fea ures than any previous one. Our opponents reaped all the benefits of thte Comnpro~mise and then deliiberately re. used to comply witlt their part of t he agreenment. Atnd ow, when they have taken sothlern Calafornia eough for three large States, below 36* 30'-they offer o open New Mexico and Uth, whnere slave property wotld be comparatively valueless. They have taken o thnemselves the meat aind left us the naked bone for omfort's sake. Gloriouis }arotherhiond of freemen ! nd yet wye are to go into ecstatic raptures when our asters toss us this hone. Let it not be imagined from the course of these ob ervations that we are in anywvise captious or would. e even utterly unthankfuil for tihe repeal of the Mie souri Compromise. Bet its history antI pre-ent repeal (should it be censtummated) exhibit a very mortifying state of things to the Southern pe-ople, if viewed in a aricular aspect. We can no longer appeal to the onstitution as ouir safeguard. Its authority is no: onger what it was intended to become by its framers. ihe real Constitution of the Union is hereafter, we fear, the power of the North and tine power of the South I compromise between the two makes tine Constitu' tion. Since 1820 we have lived under no other; atnd, here in 1851, after tihe lapse of more than 30 years-the owerful party having riddien recklessly over our rights phlding or settitng aside thne Missouri Compronmise at their pleasure--they seem ready to come forward and declare that it wis all uneonstitutional and muist be repealed. When it is thtus clearly dlemonstratd-ycs, and openly acknowledlged-thatt the States have no onger the power to etnforce their original rights, it is ndeed time to stare tine fact in tihe face as well as we may, that thne States are beneathn the feet of a central power, which, like the Rnoman Government, will look o them in futunre only fur purposes of Central aggran. disement. Every four years. tine Imperiali purple is to be set up and bid for. We are to receive a bauble and n return, to pay for gilding a throne. In the mean time, our Mlinister to Mexico, Mr. r;DsDKN-, has submitted a Treaty negotiation by ih we may acquire extensive and fertile territory -ad, if ratified, this will give an opening for tine emigration of slave-holders, and will pave the way ror the formation of new Slave-states, tine tendency of* ti which will be to restore the balance of power lost )y the admission of Calafornia and the sale of part of ['exas. In addition to this development, another may ne nfolded soon in the direction of Cuba. The affairs nf that important island are growing continu'ally more initical; and it may not be long before this country sill be called upon by every motive of security to in rporate the Queen of the Antilles among the Stars if the Unnon. When new States are to be adlmitted from territory eqired by the GADsDEN treaty, or else, should Cuba e properly presented, we will then see teho our-frieadsa tre Unntil then, we ms be excused from going into estacies over the mere abstract renunciation of gross is or. We cannot kindle in our heart a fancied fren-' iy of delight on thne occasion, nor ring' forth adulatory a ratulations for a chance at the salt plains and frozen r tills of Utahn and New Mexico. Upon every fresh array of facts tensding to display tine oferiority assigned the South in this sisterhood of kates, we feel that bur section has been wronged and ti beply wronged ; and we cannot well repress the feei- v igs thereby aroused. It may be useless, it may be some- ti chat eaptious; but we cannot join in swelling an hems of praise thstil we see the final issue cf all this ft arade of Consthtutional reform. di As for this political aspirant or tine oter, at Wash. c ngton, we feel but little sympathy.

Buncombe Street, ts it now stands in all its lob-lolly beauty, was pronounc. ed " a disgrace to the age in which we live." Other points were attacked with some severity. But we are pleased to annotnce that, in the main, the impresins made upon the sagacious and impartial mind of our friend, "the Stranger," were much more complimen tary to us all this time, than were those he received upon a former visit. Ils last words on parting, spoken with a beaming eye ana a beneficent smile, were "God speed and Excelsior." Our College. We arc indebted to Prof. LtIoxou for the Cata h'gue of the South Carolina College, for the present year, and are pleased to learn that this favorite insti ttiuion is in a most prosperous condition. There are now one hundred and eighty-nine Students. In look ing over the curriculum of Studies, we see nothing wanting which is desirable in a Literary Institution. Latin and Greek, Metaphysics and Ethics, Mathe matics and Chemistry, Political Philusophy and Belles Letters, to say nothing of Logic., Mineralogy, &c these are the dishes which are served tip day by day, for the intellectual palate, by the Cooks to thom the Trustees have entrusted it. But to drop metaphor, the standard of education is high, and will not sufer by comparison with that of any College in the country. We perceive that it has grown largely sipce we had the honor of a residence within its walls. Let none object that the reqisitions foradmission are too heavy, and that young gentlemen are regnired to know some thing before they can receive their degree. It is too much the case with our American Colleges, and per haps mre particularly with those of the South and West, that the atdmission to te Bachelor's degree is but a matter of form. 'Undler the best possible system, and with the most strintger.t regulations. educatiotn has butt begun whent a younig mnan leaves College.

W e have receivedl, wiith deep recret. thte intueligetnce of the death of this eminent citize-n tof Alahutma. rTuostas St'~trTv.R 31Avs was a native of Edge-fiel District, and livedh here until manhood, when lie coni- I' clued't to seek a new home in the West. His fortunes led him to settle in Montgomery. Ahubama, of which,. place he remained a citizen until the dtay of his death. By his woruth and ability he raptidly gained favor itt, Ihis Western htome, anid rose to a promniinence anud use- r fuess witch mat htim thte pride o'f his friy-nds. His position at the Montgontery bar was a high ant enviai hble tone, as hii elevation to ithe betfih coinclusively shotws. His pnhti~cal poptularity was co-extensive wit h the knowledge of his libieral and high-toned character, and fur some years lhe occupied the first rank in thet Senate of his adopited State.C TutosAs Susirrut MIAvS was a South Caroliniian, douily dyed, to the last days of his life. During the excitement oif '51 and '5i, his feelinigs wore piowerfuly drawvn out towards htis mother State. WVell do we .. know te intense anxiety with which ha watched her course at that time. It wvas the fond devotion andl so-. licitude of an abisent but still devoted soin, readly to come to his parent's atd at the first call of the tocsin. But our frientd lies gone to the grave. Anid may God rest his soul! The Test in Hamburg-'n Wi observe that a Charleston paper has copied a statemenut from the Augusta Constitutionalist, which pronounces the recet election of Counicil in I[atmburg a triuniph of the Anti-gate pntruy. This is a inther erroneous representation, if the informoation we have ~ received be as correct as we have reason to regard it. * As we undertiand the tmatter, no qutestion of the~ sort - entered into this election. Even if it didf, we can scarcely see what there is in ite result to be bragged si on by the Anti-gaters. Of the cld 'Town Council, u there weie three whio stood canditdates for re-election. s Two of them were violent Anti-gaters, wvhile the ithirn _ was a Cariltia-gatgr. The two former were beaten, wie the latter was handsomiehy elected. Add to titi that JoL.-. KENNEDy hiimself, otne of the Cnroli-. na gate propriettirs, was honored with a place amotng the Wardens, and we cai't well see into the triumph L claimed by the Anti-gatters. - E Sheer Jutstice. ti I- has been said that the Toll-gate of'Messrs. JostsC a KENNEDY, erected under a charter from South Car-a oina acts verf prejudicially to the interests of our cot ton-planters us the Savannah river, by levying upon them a tax upon all cottotn brought to Ilamtburg via the canal anc Augusta. A simple fact, of whicli we b are cognizant, will clear away thtis delusion. We ki are authoritatively assured that Mlesars. JoNF.s & KFEN- rm anTy htave putblicly declared their determination to ni charge nothing upon Cotton or othter prodttce seeking a the Carolina side through their gate. We think it but ta justice to these gentlemen to state this fact. Pi As a set off to this liberality of privilege, let it be Lil remembered thiat Augusta taxes every thing going It from our side, to the extent at least of half-toll, al- d though ouir produce thius taxed makes up, to a con siderable extent, the absolutely necessary soppliet of t her people. r________ Narcotics. . e ALL~r nations have their narcotics. A lata nutrber at of Backsood's Magazine contains a some what inter ating article opon'this subject. The Amneriecas the LI English (and Europeans generally) use tobacco chiefly s a narcotic. Thie French tsma Letttuce sometimes he Turks and the Eastern nations generally use a pirnn. The Africans use a kind of clay. The Peru rians use coca. The East-Indlians have a predsl'ef- fr ion for the betel-ntat. TIhe Siberians use a sort of a ngu, whose botanical name we dlont remet'nber-, hut ni hose effects are said to be something similar to ex- pt he thorn-apple, which is said to throw them into con rulsions followed by profound sleep. The.king of the 'ongo Islands and his subjects use an intosicating tepper.. And so on.. The taste for this sort of thing may be Paid to he olerably univezral, if BLACKWOODrs article is to be elicid on. Fon TnE ADVT.RTISPR. MA. Eersoo: Some of us up here would like to Oiw what has become of " SALUA." lie dashed lown upon the field of aetiun some weeks ago, and tthougl he has been slashed at ngain and nenin, by arious knihts of the qjeill, his bugle blast floatt no more upon the brce'.' WIy'is it 2 Does " SALU ut" feel whipped by the angry barking of an larmed pck ? We hope not. There is surely no nuse for such a feeling. For one, I regard himt unseathed ns to his main practical 1sit:on, which as that the State should not subscribe to the Sa annah R:ver Rail Road. 1 don't believe in the policy of mingling the State funds and the people's money in such enterprises. That it has been done' is no reason the practice should continue. Aboli.h t precedent as soon its possible when you feel it to be a had one. " SA unA" I rnsped because he thought proper t arraign the Company's choice of a President. Well, perhaps this cnstigation of the Wall Street broker might have been spared. But so far as the propriety of lie ehoice is considered, I belie- that most people who eare anything almut the iatter igrec w ith "SALVDA." Why draw Ilmsat Ilt-T.. cmsos from his Wall Street specutations, when such men as Capt. A. J. IIAMtnoN, of Edgefield, or Gen. JAMES IIARIISON, of Anderson,-could have been had. But, Sir, I hope the Savannah Riiver Road will be built. I would be delighted to know thit three hundred laborers were now upon the rou:e. It mny pay, or it may nit. This is a proposition only to be slved by the foure. That it will ect as an ii, petus 'to sectional prosperity aly be aecounted a true.' Almist any Bail :oad ,loes this much. Let the Read then be construete d as rapidly ae any be. We shout for progress.-lint let it t this or any other Company draw upon the State for help. Let each Rad stamd or fail upon its own merits. If it e impiratively den,,ended it will be built. If the reverse, it ought nott to be built. But, S:r.
