From the Chrrieston Mercury. -ONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE. We copy below an act which has just passed both branches of the Connecticut Legislature, on the subject of the recovery of slaves. It provides that an extraordinary amount of evidence shall be necessary to make out a case of ownership in the United States Courts, and that the clai imant failing to make good his right in the said Courts. shall be subjeet to a fine of $5,000, and to imprisonment for five years in the Connecti cut penitentiary. The Legi.,lature of a State enacting unheard of rules of evidence for the Courts of the United Stats, and imposing enor mous penalties on the party who shall fail to establish his claim to property under these new rules! And yet the correspondent of the New York Tribdne writes concerning this piece of preprosterous insolence, thus: "The public can rest assured that this act does not conflict with the Fugitive Slave Law as passed by Congress, for the hest lawyers and judgesin several States, have seen the law before it came before either branch of the Legislature, and have unanimously pronounced it constitu tional." Perfectly "!constitutional," and "does not conflict with the Fugitive Slave Law !" It not only conflicts with the Consti:ntion, which imi peratively requires that fugitives from service shall be given up on demand, and with the Fugi tive Law of Congress, which provides for the Court and the manner of proceeding in making good the claim of ownership; but it conflicts with every principle of law, justice and common sense. Apply such rules of evidence. coupl-d with such penalties for failure, in miking out a claim to property in general, and it would soon be found out that there was not and could not be any such thing as a right of property. Indeed, the pretence that the aet is.constitu tional, is simply a proof of the blind and coward ly malignity that prompted its enactment. Look ed upon in any other light than as a direct issue with, and defiance of, the United States. the law is one of the grossest pieces of stupidity that ever emanated from a Legislature. The United States Courts will not admit its new rules.of evidence. If the claimant of a slave isbrought un der the penalties of the act, the United States Courts will demand his release. It will be from beginning to end a direct contrast with the Uni ted States, and this to destroy the operation of a law which they admit to be constitutional, and the object of which-the restoration of fugitives from service-is among the plainest of the pro visions of the Constitution. If this Connecticut law is Corstitutional. then I every law of the United States, operating with in the States, can be practically annulled. If i the States can determine the amount of evidence I necessary to make out a case of smuggling, or i counterfeiting, or robbing the mails, and attach I enormous penalities to every failure to make good a prosecution, it is evident that the revenue laws, &c. can be utteily destroyed for all practical purposes, and this without ever preten ding that they are either unconstitutional or unjnst. But we submit this precious piece of abolition legislation without further comment: An Act for the Djfence of Liberty. Src. 1. Every person who shall falsely and maliciously declare, represent, or pretend that any free person entitled to freedom is a slave, or t owes service or labor to any person or persons, r with intent to procure or to aid or assist in pro curing, the forcible removal of such free person from this State as a slave shall pay a fine of $5,000, and be imprisoned five years in the onnecticut State Prison.

SEC. 3. Every person that shall wilfully and maliciously seize or procure to be seized any free peson entitled to freedotn, with intent to have such tree person sold into Slavery, shall pay a fine ofJI~5.000--and-be iunuianama. years in the~Connecticut State Prison.

NuMiBER OF SLAVEs IN THE WoRLD.-The African Institute at Paris-an association faor the difftusion of civilization and christian light in Africa-has recently issued a circular stating the number of blacks held in slavery in differenti countries is seven an a half millions, of which whidh 3.095.000 :are in the United States, 3.:250, 000 in Braizil. 900.000 in the Spanish Colonies, 85.000 in Holland Colonies, 140.000 in the Re publics of Central America, aind 30.000 in Euro pean establishments in Africa.-Montgomery Advertiser. JASNEY'S H~oTEL.-We are glad to see in the Carolinian the following just and merited tribute to this hotel and its gentlemanly host. We have frequently stopped with Janney and can endorse every word of it: 'a In it we meet with well trained servants, comfortable beds, ventilated rooms, fine water, (with ice, if wanted.) and with Janney himself at any hour of the day or tnight. Mr. Janney is a Virginian by birth, and a gentleman every where. Often letter.s are written to haim, that a" my Sister will arrive, and I want you to meet her at the South Carolina depot, and take her to your Hotel." Mr. JTanney was there, and a carriage ready ; and although her stay was short, every attention that could be, was given." SCOTTISH JUSTCE.-A poor man, half a centum ry ago or more, was attempting to violate the game laws by shooting a deer-the penalty for the offence being a fine of five pounds, or ina default of funds, thirty lashes. He gave half the deer to a neighbor who had the meanness afterwards to complain of him,in order to obtain half the penalty, as well as half the deer-it being the law that half must go to the informer and half to the King. The offender wvas convicted and fined accordingly, but pleaded that be had no money. " Weel, mon," said the " magistrate" we maun ha'e the lashes, then." The poor man was submissive. The magistrate then said to the sheriff, " Tak that mon. the infor mer, tie him till yon tree, and gie him fifteen lashes' which will be his half; and when the King George comes over, we will gie him his half: half till the informer and half till the King." HORSE TRJEVEs AnoUT.-The citizens of the upper portion of the State are referred to the advertisement of Messrs Clarke & Griffin, of a horse stolen from them,. There is no doubt, in our mind, that a gang of horse thieves are in our midst, as .we have understood that a similar trick was played off in Greenville, by a man who was seen in company with the one who stole the horse from here. It should be a war ning to all who hire horses to be careful who they 2tr.--turnsvi-le Heaild. AlRTH4R SIMKIN&I EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C. THURSDAY JULY 13, 1854. $2 AMONG the recent appointments male by the President of the United States, we observe that J. J. SEIBLS of Alabama, formerly of South Carolina, has been appointed Minister of the United States to the kingdom of Belgium, to which he had been Charge d' Affaires. r7' Oua thanks are due to Senator BUTLEta and Hon. P. S. BpooKs for various Public Documents. Cash Needed. CASH is imperatively needed to carry on the Odd Fellows and Masonic Building at this place. Mr. RAMRAY (the agent) will be at the Old Wells, Lowe's and Longmire's upon the next regimen!al lays to col. lect the 3rd instalment from subscribers. It is hoped that every one will be ready to pay. Those whohave given their notes fur the 1st and 2d1 instalmnents will please take notice that Mr. R.utsAy will also have them along for collecti. Unless greater pun ei nality is manifested, it will be a most discouraging afftir to all concerned, especially to the contractor. Health of Edgefield. TitERE is not a more healthy vilinge in the land han Edgefield. A sickly season is a rare thing with as. At present. it is as salubrious as usual. We oh. erve that some of our sister villages have been seri >usly afflicted with diseases of much severity. Our ympathies are with them. That their lot may not tecome ours is a thi ng much to he desired. Let our Council, as the summer waxes older, watch lest any ource of pt-msh-nce exist in their midst. It is easier o prevent disease than to bant-h it. Death of Col. Robert A. Whyte. Tits sad event occurred in Augusta on the 4th inst o intelligence of the kind for many years has filled mur heart with deeper regret than the melancholy tnnouncement of our friend's decease. A more gen rous soul than his never glowed in human frame. A nore considerate gentleman we have never known nywhere through life. An intimacy of several years tanding gave us the opportunity of knowing him we!l, Lnd to know him well was but to -esteem him almost s a brother. God rest his kind and noble spirit! Col. WHtYTE lad forsome years been residing in Au. usta as associate editor of the " Georgia Ilome Ga ette,'9 to which paper he gave much interest by his parkling fancies and happy reflections. But his pent ies ie now. The hand that wielded it so gracefully s cold in death, and the arm chair that knew him so ong will know him no more forever. He has left a levoted mother and a loving sister to weep his un imely end. We beg to mingle our tears with theirs. day Heaven grant them consolation! 21ilitary Reform. Tmn question seems to be arising as to the propriety f reforming the Milttia system of Sonth Carolina. rom the tone of various newspapers and the respon es of candidates in different. sections of the State, we ather that the prevalent disposition is to abolish it Imost in toto. The people of this District have not %ken as yet much interest in the matter; but we ither think they would lean very readily to some Ian of amelioration. It dues appear to be a rather selesmand cumbrous piece (if polite machinery, thi ternal mustering of beats, battalions and regiments ith little or no good results. If something less trou. lesome and tess awkard could be substituted, whkichs ;ould exhibit the strength of our numbers in case of mergency and at the same time meet the patrol ne essities of the State, it would be received, we. think 4ith very general approbation. It ought to be how ver simple and effective in its character. The change which has been brought about in Vir mia does not seem to have give-n any great degree f satisfaction. The Law of 1852, by which it was Mde, may tie stated in a very few words: Ist All tratnings of officers anti masters of compan : are abolished. $ntdly. Certain commissioners are required to enroll snames and rebidence of all persons liable to mtilitia y thie Governor whenever occasion shall demand. This is the stubstance of Virginia's present 3Militia ytem. No tax is required on account o'f exemption om duty. It is this last feature to which objection principally made. The volunteer service, wvatch mains unaltered, is thought to be injuriously affected 'ereby ; and it is now urged as expedient to assess a x upon alt sound male citizents between the ages of ghteen and forty five, partly for the fostering of this ranch of the Mlilitary, partly fur the liquidation of xpenses itncident to the change. We hope some one wilt digest a good stubstitute for r existing Militia Laws by the ntext sessi-sn of the gislature. To be instrumental its re-leiving the 'dear people" from the present agtgravating and use te system would be a feather in the cap of any one f our Legislators. We may speak for onrself at any ate-Ite should receive our warmest gratitude. Vallay Railroad Report. WE. are indebted to Mr. BuACK woon of the Hamhturg ank for a neat copy of thits Report, with a well pre. aredh Map of the Valley Route attached. It is a oncise paper, indicative of the good taste and practi al sense of its author, Chier Enginteer F. C. Aats. There will be requaired (if te litpot is located on he river) some 7000 feet of low trestle work near lamurg. Going tip from Hamburg the line follows he banks of the Savannah to the mouth of Stevens' 3reek,a distance of8 mtles. "This portion of thme Road," ay the report, " will be expensive, thes greater part f the excavations being of rock &c. The Road vill then take thme ridge between the rtver and the reek in the direction oif Dorn's mine. Eleven tniles fit will be heavy work. The remaining dtistance to e " Mines" will be comnparatively easy of accom ili hment. From Doax's the line pursues nearly a forth course to the neighborhood of Lowndesville *here it bears slightly to the left to reach the village >f Anderson. The total length of thte erpefimental line from 1Ham mrg to"Anderson C. H. is ninety thre-e and a htalf siles. But this distatnce on location can be retdneed o 92 miles. The total cost of the Rond (to befirst te in all its parts) is put down at S1,811 .270,00. This stimate is made at prices within which it is confdenst y beleised that the Road can bc built. Tlo the high redit of land owners upon the route, the right of way, almost woithout exception, will be given free of tharge. The line recommended will vary only 8 miles from n air line. The distance between Anderson and Csarleston by this Road wilt he 28 tmiles shorter than y the Greenville & Coltumbia Road. Mr. Asses speaks in high terms of the prospects of the Valley Road's complete sttccess if economically built and with sufficient capital. The Report as a whole is highly encouraging to the Valley Company, and will doubtless rekindle their enthuiasm in the cause. It may be expected that hey will again ptut their shotulders to thte wheels of progress, to stop not until they have attained their :bject. That they may succeed beyond their most sanguine anticipations is a consumation to be desired by us all. That Beasr Wight. Wa learn that a large nuimber of our fellow-citizens in the " Dark Corner" were thrown into a most intense state of excitement last week by tbe report that a hideous grixly Bear had been brottght to bay in a cer tain dense thicket somewhere in those parts. Old men and boys, w'nite folks and niggers, botuntd dogs, ctur dogs, fice dogs and bull dogs flocked to the spot, until the scene became one of otter confusion atnd obstreperousness. Some planned the attack, others held back theo dogs, a few venmutred on a cautious re connoitre, while many stood in a sort of pleasant tre pidation at the prospect of the d:-sperate encounter so soon to be wittnessed. At length the signal to advance is given-all close in aromnd the thicket which cotnains the grizly monster, each one resolved to do or die in the strife-the very lair itself is soon closely enceta passed (a dark bushy guilly)-now for it, brave hearts -strike, strike, strike-one blow apiece for the credit of Edgefield sportsmanship-there-nobly done-htux za, auzza, huzza-the enemy is yours-" hiah," 'bah,'" bah,"--Shades of Nimrod and Davy Cr ock ett! what sounds are those ? A billy-.goat, by all the delicions odors of time and sense ! a Witle, dirty, r-ank old billy-goat ! " Oh,whbat . fall was. there my. cou,.....n!, Augusta-The Bridge Demonstration, &c. EXrFCTING to meet a brother from Florida a few days since, we arose at 3 o'clock A. M. and journeyed towards Augusta, which place we reacied in about five hours. The old city was still upon the banks of I the Savannah. and. in spite of the dull days of sum mer, a considerable little stir of business was percep tible in her streets. But of all hot places on earth, she was certainly the hottest we had ever encounter ed. What with the burning rays of a July sun, the smoky atmosphere of a lowgromid city and the ab- I sence of all manner of breezes (save something border- . ing on the Sirocco,) the oppressive state of the weath- I er was next to ineupportable. Every man had a fan I and every fan had a hand which kept it moving. Ice 4 coolers were cherished in most establishments as a ( sort of house-hold divinities whose freezing charms I might counteract the tall indications of Fahrenheit. i Umbrellas were kept hoisted even on the shady side I of the street, and men wore their linens, and ladies I wore gossamer dresses, and BEEDE's rocky mountain i white hats (such as FEaRY keeps) were in demand' ( and every loafer was striving to find out the quarter i from which the wind came, and iced toddies were used to prevent fainting by the way, and many other shifts were made to escape the fierceness of old Sol's fury. But still it was hot, steamingly hot. Yet, al though such was the fact, although even several cases of " sun-stroke" were said to have occurred within a day or two, the good people of the city seemed to be almost as cheerful as ever. Every store we entered had its complement of customers. WARo & BaR CHARD, ShEARs, NEwBY, INGRAHAm, LALt.EaSTEDT and others seemed as busy almost as ever. In truth, t disagreeable though the trip may he, now is the very time to) get good bargains in Augusta. Most merchants are desirous of selling ofy to buy again, and various articles may now be had at small advance upon cost. r There are a good many who know this secret, which partly accounts for the trading still done in Augusta. The day we nient down was the first of the setting aside of the toll-gate of Messrs. Joxrs & KEN- I DY. In celebration of this circumstance (we suppose) a number of Edgefield wagons came over the bridge about tnid-day, each one of them decked at the poop s with a small specimen of the stars and stripes, %% hile a smaller banners were tied toeach standard.and all the mules wore scarlet pennons in honor of the occasion. We do not remember ever to have seen a demonstra- I tion which so flatly failed of producing an excitement. All stared upon it as a meanitigless pageant. Not a " huzza" was raised at its approach-not a negretto shouted with surprize. They passed up and then passed down again, yet the surface of Augusta feeling exhibited no single ripple at the sight. It was doubt less a very well planned afikir, bit it certainly did o not take-ome fault in the execution perhaps. It is supposed now that the bridge excitement will very soon cease to b.' a thinaorlife,except with such as wish v to keep it up. The liudly abused " exactions," as they have neen incorrectly termed, are at an end. The h cause being removed, the ill-freling to which it has given rise will expire for luck of snstenance. So this bone of contention is taken out from atm'ong us, ani, a for one, wve are right glad of it. 11 injury ha.. been ~ done to the interests of some good citizens, it i now a estopped. As that injury was not inflicted with aught a of malice prepense bit only in the illustration and establishment of a right whiih, as many believed and still beleive. attaches to the sovreien domain of Sioth c Carolina, of cotrse it onght to be forntien and fir- I given. Let it pass away as a thinz now too petty to divide a generous end high-minded people. From what we could learn, we apprehend that all will soon come right. On onr war down and back. we could bit observe - with admiration the fine fields of corn which alornied the road. First came Mr. HTATCi.a'it henotifot putch-t f es about his honse-then lajar Bt-r rs' magnificent field (which looks as thoninh it had never for a minute lacked any thing required to make good corn)-then E came Mr. JoNEs' wide fields,aid 31r.

Cavalry Encampment. W ask to be excu.'ed by utur Cavalry friends for the ~ remissness we have been guilty of in the matter of their approaching encampment. It has been our in tentioan every week fur a month to announce the result of a committeeC-meetinmg ws hih was hielid here early in Jnnets; but, thinking there was plenty of time and ~ having misla.id the scrip upon which were the dates, &c. required to be stated, the pitblicatiion has been postponed. It is not, however, too late to make it htow. At the meeting to wicih we allude, it was agreed tinanimou'ly that the " Pitne Houtse," six miles East of our towvn, be the ptace of encampment ; and 4 o'clock, P. M, on the first Monday in Septembhor next, was fixed upon as the hour for the sqinadron to assemble. - A committee of thtree was aptpointedl on the same occasion to procure tents, designate the ground of en campment, select a stuitabule fieldI of paradle, atnd to mtake all necessary arratngeme'nts as to music, refresh mnents &c., &c. This committee is a highly efliciett one~lbeing composedaof Col. Jotn F. TALDTsa-, Lt. Ciil. A. P. BU-TLEaL and Capt. R. 13. BoUEN:GwrT. lit their hands, the preparations will doubtless be completed to tIe sati-sfaction of all interested. No clearer guarun-e tee of thme character of this encanipmetnt could have f been given to the pnblic than the appointment of so . h.:h-toned a committee of arrangements. It was determined upon also, at the same meeting,p that the Ahheville squadron of Cavalry be invited and requecsted to tunite in the duties anid pleasures of this military ' fete.' We believe the charge of extenid-, ing this invitation has been etitrusteid to Capt. Butttts, I who will doubtless see that it is well dlone.J The prospect is fine for a very interesting time. It will lie a week when anmy and every body will be able tm turn out. Our crops are so abunidant in theIr p-omise that every otne will be in good,heart. It will besides he a comparatively idle seasoin ol5thie year. About that time too ite quarter stretch of our Legis l itive canvass will have arriveit, arid busy candidates, will be setting a fine example of coriility antd polite-t ness. The summer nights wilt htave lost their jpense heat, atid even thte dlays will in all proibability be much more agreeabule. Those whlo may have gone off to "1 the eprinigs or elsewhere fur recreation will then per. haps be back, refreshed for the occasion, The big meetings also wvill be over. Fresh meet will keep well too, and every thing will be ahnnodant. The ladie.. I moreover will be longing about that date for something~ toamnse and excite them. And the gentlemen will be [ quiite up to the highest notch of gallantry and good I humor. Should our District be spared the rod of affliction throughout the summer, should her fields yield as rich a harvest as now they are hastening tin to maturity, I shotld we all feel the social mood upon its in its genialr gI ,wv, and especially shtould the whole conduct of thte[ affair he characterized bty that generous spirit and f strict sense of propriety which we have every reason to look for, wes cannot see why the Cavalry Encamp ment week of September should nor prove as memora- I hble an occasion of the kitnd as has ever transpired in I Egefield. We wish it entire success. Selling off at Cost. I-r will be seen that Mir. WV. P. BU-tL.n has begun to sell off his remaining stock of elegant goods at cost. Ihere's another chtance for us all to buy ourselves rich. Let's crowd in before thme best things are all disposed of. South Carolina Temperance Advocate. W E have received and adlded to our list of exchanges a new paper with this name. Its design is to advocate an etnactment in our State similar to thte Mlaine laws of the North. While we totally dissetit fron -their views in this respect, we yet cordlially welcome the I new edttors into thte fellowship of the Press. Theya have our best wishes for a long and useful career. a Bectionalism. Sgsai sensible remarks on this topi: are copied be. ow from the " Lau rafonville Herald."
