- RTA1ION IN CONG ESS. Much of the delay. confusion, and dissensions in.Congress are clearly traceable to tle system of rotation, which strips it of experienced memu bers, and fills their places with raw ones. It would seem that the plan for the conduct of business is vell calculated to systematize, to, ripen measures, and to have them fully, fairly, and ably presented for consideratio. What etter modo could be devised than the distribution of work among the several commit tees. These committees have confided to their especial charge certain measures upon which Congress :ms to act. Upon them rests the responsibility of collecting all authentic infor nmntion on.the- several maiters, and of making such a report upon them, accompanied by the evidenze upon. which their report is based, as will en:be each member of Congress to deter mine; iitelligei.ly for iiin..elf, what. course hl shcall pursue.

PmzE FIGHTING AND Mo~r.A Y IN NEWV-YOEK. -Jete 3orrissey, the pugilist, who was baidly beaten in a recenit prize light with one Win. Poole, in one of the most public sireets of Ne w York, and almost within sight of the residence of one of' the catpt:ains of police. has issued a statemenct declaring that he wenit upcon the grounid without a single frien~d, that he found it filled wishc 1oole's friends, that Poole himself did not strike him one blow, but that he was beaten by Fs frienid<, while ti.;d I'. don it and was 'oeating him. Furthter, the deelares his in tentio'n to again call upton Poole itt a few daiys. it appears thtat the captain, his lieutena~nt :ind the policemen of the Ward in which the dis graceful lighL took pbe'(e, wecre matde aware of all the arrangements on te night prCeiou, bui they "made their arraingemietits" to arrive ott te ground just ai~er the balde was over, and the principails had disappeared. After this we are not surproied that the Newv York papers shionth1 be so indignanit at the puntishtment infli& ed uontt the :.hieving. tiegroes acid natives of &it Jican. It seems to be the prvic of some of thenm to encourage and uph;old crime in its various grades of intiquiiy.

Instead of' sending ou; nmissionatries o tamite the hecattiet in foreign lands, we thintk it wvould be far more appropriate to keep ltm at home, atnd endeavor' to revive a spirit of moralily in New York. Ciistianity is certainily at a very low ebb among some classes in that city.-Charles ton Standard. SHoeKING BAnIIARITY TO NEGROEs IN A FR EE sTATE.-Trhe Edwardstown (Ill.) Enquirer telts the followinig, as sad a story as we hauve lately heard. If the transactioni had occurred in a slave State, we should not have soon eased to hear the howls of abolitionists over it: " WVe have just heard of a sorrowful inident-the effects of a fright. A colored woman, named Bruner, whlo, with hter hushand, lived sonic six miles from this place, was supposed to know wvhere some stolent property was concealed. She denied all knowledge of the pr-operty, where upon her accusers told tier that unless she told the truth they would take heri from the house and hang hter. Shte still stontly deied knowing antythimig of the property and atppeared much frightened. Ott thteir repeating the threat to hang her she finited awvay, and died in a short, time afterwatrd. She was enceete at the time. Sinice theni, her hcusband. throughn grief fromt her loss, has become a maniac. Snehl an occurrence should prove a warning in future. as to how far coercion is carried towards defee less women." AFFRAY AT INDIAN SPRING.-The Macon Citizen says: "on WVednesday eventing last, an unpleasant reneotuntre occurred at Indiatn Springs between Dr. Richard II. Niabet, son of Col. A. H-. Kenan, of Milledgeville, in whtich the former received several stabs from a kttife itn the ha~nds of' the latter. The difficulty originat'ed in the ball room, and terminated, as we understandl, after the party brok~e up. WVe tare unable to give the pacrticulars of' thte affair, as the accounts are conitradictory. Very gencrtd regret is ex pressed, however, at the deptlorable occurrence. PEDESTRIANISM ON A i'LANK.--A man named Hughes, in San Francisco, walked for 80 conse cutive hours up and down a platnk fifteen feet long and three wide ;-during the latier part of his ~performance lie had to be whitpped to keep him awake. Hie made about $1500 tty the Ope ration. We think he deserved the whipping for his folly, as well as the money for his entergy. QUTrE WARLIKE.--We learn from thle Chip pewa Agency that Hole in-the-daty started omit a few days since at the head of 400 warriors, tfor war upon the Sioux. He tias sworn to drire every Sioux from the north side of the Minne sota, a threat which he may *t find easy to fulfil. We apprehend, however, that there will be some blood spilt before he returns, and the scalps of some half dozen sptnaws and popooses .mtay form trophies of the expedition, wvhichi will grace the triumiphal tmarch of' these bratve sons of the forest as they return home flushed with victory and nswcnesr-MineSota paper. Iy Omim ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C. TIHURSDAY AUGUST 10, 1854. g TnE Editor has been almost enti'rely crowded out this week by the quantity of other original matter. gg7 Wz cannot publish the communication of "MAY Voarns" without the names of the authors. g By the request of some of our subscribers, we will publish the decision of Judge GLcuatRsT, re. specting the Toll Gate, with great pleasure. Will some one fjrnish us wa. a paper containing it! gg WE invite attention to ilie Memorial in this day's paper. In presenting the grievance complained of, it enters, in a measure, into the argument of wis controversy, both sides of which we are A illing should be honestly heard and duly considered by the people at large io the State. We are glad to see that so far the argument, pro and con, professes it) appeal to the judgments and worthy sentiments, and nui to the blind passions of the people; and we earnestly trustNihat for the honor of the District and State, anti for the tine of our people, both sides of this warin diipute will steadily refrain from that clap-trap usually brought to bear in such contests. The Independent Press. WE omitted to notice in our last paper that the Rev. MILES PUCKETT had become associated with his brother C. C. PUCKETT, Esq., in the Proprietorship, and in the Editorial Department of the "Press." We earnestly hope diat they may enjoy the success and prosperity they so eminently merit. The Drills at Iowe's and the Cavalry Parado at Shinburg. WE have enjoyed two tmure opportunities of wit nessing the Military Parades and Reviews of the South Carolina Militia, since preparing' the editorial for our last number, in whicl we made a feeble at. tempt to do justice to the pride and spirit of our ex cellent yeomanry. It is due to truth, that we shnuld again state, that the turnout was not large, at either place, but what was equally a., mtiii, or more to be desired, the peo. p!e were cheerful atid happy, and the men aild ofliiers did tli ir duty with zeal and readiness and good humor. Colonel STaot arid his Majors and Sthordinatesat LowE's, presented quite a handsome and Military ap pearance, and so did the whole regiment ; although the day was hot enough to have given the men a per feet foretaste of the temperature of the nethermuost re g0ions of fire. At Shinburg or Liberty IHill too, the Cavalry, as it always does, made a noble display. It is certainly the most handsome and imposing arm of our serivee. It reminds one of the days of Chivalry and Knight errantry, when beauty and valor bunked together, and wien love and war were the ruling pzyts:ons of the huatnat heart, and when woman and religion were the only Goddesses, at whose shrines the manhood of the times knelt aild howed, ir humble submission. We acknowledge our preference for the Cavalry, for we were- proud to rank ourselves as an humble member of the Ilusars, until the bounty of the State exempted its from 4urther military service. Col. TALOEn-T, abltlglih lie was present, we regret to say, was quiteznwell, and unable on the last day to appear on parade. But as some compensation to the regiment, Brigadier-General WiLtK:s, and his ac complisied slaf were present, and at the conclusion of the drill, rotnihstandling the excessive heat of the weather, aid the slight iidispo.itiun of the Brigadier General, lie made them a few appropriate remarks, comolimenting them on their appearance, and thank ing them most cordially for theirattention to duty, and their prompt obedience to command. General WILKEs is a fine looking officer, and we doubt no:, in duie titie, will become an ornament to that par, of the military to which lie belongs. Major-General McGow.x, spoke again at both places. Our friend in further vindicaition of the mili tairy system, contended that if tine mu-ters wvere abol ishied, the patrol, now in a miserable condition, woulJ be neglecied, iir total~y abandoned ; arid the conse quence woutld br, that die scenes of -St. Domtingo, might a: any tuna be re-enacted hare, and we mig .be liabh-, in any night, to be aroused friom our slurn hers, by the conllagration of oiirdwellinuge, and by tl e pie-eing screams of our terror-stricken eld Idren, andI violated mothers and daughters, weltering in their b:ood. We have, in our midst, the elements of combustion, and a single spark from the torch of thie itncendiary, might light upsa baleftml-fire, which all the gallantry and chivalry of or sons could not extinguish until inun heat-stonies were critmsoned witht the bloodl of in fauts and muothers, and murder had riotedl and become drunk 'in the rnt aind desolation, not only of our !ruitful fields and tlhrivinie set tlements, bitt of our villa ges,towns anid flourishing cities. At such a crisis it would r<iire all the dlevotini, and more,10osave the counatry, which bore the Palmetto banner, like a firey meteor, through dhe bloodly field of Churuhuscn, and planted it in triumph, all rent in threads, and dripping with gore, oti the proud walls and battlements of the city of lie Montezumas. It would be a reproach to thme litood of BUTLER, whose soul was hliteid to Iheaven by the flame of battle, while leading his " chilidren to vicry ;" andI of A pASs andi Br ooms, andlTI .Lcsy, your necighors. whtose spirits wet in quick pursui oif thiir noble Ileader's, from the ensanguined field ; and of BLOCKER, and GooDE, and CrooKERn, arld MAR-TN, arid CA LtInA, and Lr LEs, who glioiusly died at the very itotient, the daring eagle of .Mexico was shorni of her pintions, and thre banner they loved, waved ti-. umphlantnly arid jiiyotisly fromi the citadel and palaces of die presumptuous city, w hiiehi had defied themn to arms. It would be a repiroachi, I say, .o all your he. roic dead, if you should become forgetful ,.f thme uobi gations you owe your a'acestore, your childlren and yourselves, and from your weakniess, and effemtinacy, should neglect the common ameans of your defence and security, and thuas render yourselves ani easy prey to a Tyrant, v. itha his mi'!ions of mercenaries, or to that race of savages in your bosom, whmose biarbarny and tirst of vengence, while encouraged by incendiary abolitiot~ists, would spare, on thme least aidiantage, neither age, sex, nor condition, but wou'il glut its rell spirit by the intdiscriinate massacre of manm, wonnman and child, and by the utter destruction of every thing tha:. beautifies our land and country. We, brother officers and fellow soldiers, can scarce ly boast of being braver or wiser than our forefathers, who freed the country of the British yoke, after an tnparalleled struggle of seven years duratton, and they deemed it not only expedient, but indispensable that they should establish the miilitary system, as well to defend themusel ves agatnst mobs arid insurrections at home, as against tyranits and enemies abroad. There is a law ont our Statute books ev-en now, which was passed by our fathers, anad which actually made it thieduty of every male citizen of a certain age, to take arias with him, even to church on thes Lordis day. But selling aside the present necessity we feel for the militia, and the dread we hatve of an immense stading army, the study of the military and the culti vation o* a mnihiary spirit and bearing is ennobling to every people, and i the pillar of fire to light them to doliveranmce andu glory in those timecs of trial when the liberties amid the existence of niationIs are put to peril. In fine, we can say, that General McGowEN was as happy anid eloquenit, atid forcibile, in his addresses at the places above-mentioned, as lie was at the previous drills which have beemn reported, and that is paying hm the very highest complinment we can bestow. Whilst we ourselves, adniit the necessity we feet for some amelioration and reform, and amendment of the military system, arid of the military organizationi of the State, n~e must allow that the remarks of t he Ma jor-General, were replete with wisdom and sound logic and patriotism; and we ourselves, would be disposed to handle the pruning-knife, with great care and mod eration, We are certmain, that we were among the very first persons in the Slate, if we were not the very first, to declare ourselves, as a privr~te citizen, against the militia, as it is; but we advocate reformanmd iumprosne met-not abolition and destruction. The drtills should be less often, andi the fines less onerous, but the system as we would have it regulated, should be enforcend to the letter and the fines shouldl be collected to the last cent. The present system, in many parts of the Sta e, is a ridiculous farce, and the most absurd of all ab Dr. Dingefs Hobbios ' WILL he read with.pleasure and attention by all those who are fond of taking a fair view of the inner side of private life. Most of the stories prepared to amuse the young and to catch the pennies of the old, are altogether desti tute of a moral or an aim, and dressed tp in such a style, as to offend the taste of all readers who have a particle of sense or discrimination. Our friend from Rose Cottage, has given us a pleas ant little story of private lire, in a neat, simple mai ner, and without a shadow of afrectition. We know, while we read, that the incidents are true, and if the narrative- is altogether unambitious, it is also agreeable, and it manifests great cheerrul ness, contentment, affection and domestic happiness in the writer. Jhe hero of the tale, no doubt, is as innocent, ami able, and provident as any of our race ever become, and he inspires those good qualities in all his house hold. This delightful picture will serve to reconcile many a good housewife. to the gabbling of geese, the crowing and cackling of cliickens, and the bleating and low ing of cattle, and wil! also tend to shon, tLat true happiness may yet be found, in at least one quarter of otr scorched and blighted earth.

And to say thte trumih, alhioangh thea abservaion looks a litle scctrtlinmg at first view, the man was not altogether wrong. It would be an utnpardlonabhle onmission not to men tion here that we totak ottr Sundaty dinnoer at DAvis's, on wvhichm occasion we entered utpon is register, under the head of " Remarks," the faolloing annmotraion: "Dined to.day at Davia, :a delight ful red dait (htis/house s s red as a wvood pecker's- lead anad redder) tunem t he diversiled disc of these demaacratic diggings."

After ourn Davis dinner, we htad a delighatfaul thrive along the beautifutl table land known as at Fiat Rock." There are some half-dozen piritely villas itn thtis vicinity, most of whmichm may be seen in passing. There is a picturesqute lookictg Epciscopal chutrcht also near the road. Perhaps there is not a mitre eligible locali ty for summer residetnces to be found in any country du.t...i be.:..fu.....:r..rho.d,,Bemides t-h ri at. situations, there are now open here two marget no-is, both of which are favorites. We did not try either, as our party preftrred to drive by withoit stppig. That afternoon we reached Hendersonville ant spent the night in one continuous round J snoozing and snoring. IHendersonville is the small cotity seat of one of the small c-onntieP which have been carved fn: .f the quondam" State of Buncombe." It is pleasantly sim ated on a high ridge and seems to he growing rapidly enough. Must of our readers know that Buncomhe was once an immense counity. Within it< former inm its there are now six or seven new connties besides the little that is left of old Buncombe. We say " little" perliaps incorrectly, as the Buncombe-ites till vote about 1200 strong. The new counties are IlaywooJ, Ienderson, Cherokee, Macon, Yancey, Madison and another. This breaking up of spacious old Bnctiomhe bringi to mind an Etliopean strain in which the "colored individual" declares that " In eighteen hn-ndred and thirty-nine Ile hunig his jaw-borne fln ie vine Dat jaw-hone fell dlown on de groin-I, And little ones come up all around." We suppose a number of our fellow-citizens would like to see a similar revolution in Edgefield. Bitt there is no room fur comparison between the cindition of Buncombe before the division and that of Etigfielad as she now stands. Ours has vastly the ailvantage. At this particular time, the old North State is con siderably excited about the Governor's election. To day the die is to be cast, and the "n nterrified" are .xpected to rally around the pulls with their ustal SuCCSs.

A sense of justice dictated to your Honorable Bodies in December 1848, not to ignore the clnim. of the City Council of A ugustu as compared with those of SnULTZ & AICKIYNE, and induced you to insert in their Charter the proiso "that the said IIERY SnOULTZ & JonN DICKINNE, sltall not be alluwed to charge and cnillect toll at the South Caro 1:na.end of the Bridge until the litigation pending in the Supreme Court of the Unitcd States in relation to said Blririge, and the proceeds of the sale shall be determined against the City Council of Augusta." That dee!sion against the City Council which was to justify th'eir collection of toll, has not been found, but a decree against SuLTZ & McKixxE establised. To renew the Charter in behalf of their assignee, as is now done, is to repudiate this decree-to depart from the just course of your Honorable Bodiep in respect to this subject heretofore-to violate and abuse the public couscience, and to prejudice the puLe interest. Under these circumstances your Memorualos respert'ully submit to your considt ration, the pro. priety and practicability of repealing sa'd Clharter, or of otherwise relieving the publc from its unjust and disastrous effects. If by their Charter, Mcssia. Joxs & kF.NNEDY are cotistituted i corporation, the right to repal or amend their Charter is secured to your Jluonorable Bodies by the 41st,Sce. Aet 1841, and your 31emoralisis presume that this is certainly true of quasi corporalioans, by which they under stand a" body of mes, who, though not vested with the general powers of a corporation by any expreis law, are yet recognized by Statute or immemorial usage, and the body they compose is a person or an aggregate corporation, with Powers and duties which may be enforecl, and privilcges whiek may be maintained by suts at law. Such bodiis are consid erted qua corporations with limited powersco-exten sive with the dties imposed upon them by Statute or usage, but restrained from a general use of -an thority which belongs to those metaphysical persons by coniion law." Such are " Cominmissiononers of a co1un1ty, Supervisors of highways, Overseers of the poor, Loan officers of a county, and the ltke who are invested with corporate powers submodo, and for a few specified purposes only." Besides the Act of 1841 % hieh reserves the power to repeal, &c., is not less applicable to private, tIan to public cor porations ; and certainly Messrs. JosEs & KENNEDY, considered with reference to the " powers and duties which they m:ay enforce, and the privileges which they may maintain by suits at law," are not wanting in analogy, either as to form or substance, to " Coi inissioners of a county, Supervisors of highways, Overseers of the poor and the like," and therefore tih ir Charter was given ".gubject to amendment, alteration, or repeal by the Legislature." In any event their franchire is vested private property, and sulject to the control of the Legisla ture by right of eminent domain, and may be taken, or wholly or partially suppressed according to the public exigency ; upon the same principal thatthe private property of the citizen is taken for a public highway, an d for the public welfare. Your Memoriali.-ts, eit'zens of South Carolina, have felt the necessity of pre senting a brief outlire, in part, of the argument in favor of the right of the C;ty Council of A ugusta, compared with that of the assignees of SnUrTz & AIcK:NNE, and of the supe rior claimisof the fo'rmer, in order If posisibv~hn'v'in dteate their aon r it , as wvell as their secessity to aIk relief. And they trust that their prayer will beauly eon sidered.* FOS TUE 4avERT~sER. lIRa.
