We subjoin some extracts from the army cor
pondents of the London papers:
REGDIENTS DEsTROYED.
Perhaps it may mosdify the inveteate hostilliy

Nvvember last it landed at Balaklava with an
'etive sireigik of 1,100 bayonets. It now
usters 117 serviceable mien, and as things are
,ing on it is not very improbable that at the
id of a uonth even this small remnant will be
need ti the level ef some of our other regi
eits here. For instance, there is a regiment
hiih figures in the army list as the 631, but it
only in the army lit that it can be found, a
.thiig remaiiis of it out here. The last time

tis.naianagement of C'.lonel Dalzell than even

A Rule without Exceptions!
ALL Persons who fail to settle their indebtedne ss
to the " Advertiser Office," in a very short titme
will be compelled to settle with 'ne legally nu
thorised. As a Co-partnership has been entered
into it is requisite that all out-standing debts should
be collected forthwith.
Read and take warning!
WE are non sending ,ur ateounts to nl who are
indebted to us for subser.ption to the Advcrtiser,
residing out of the limits of this State. with the
earnest hope that all who may receive s; id notice
of their indebtedness, will remit the amount as soon
as poissible.
[f Those who do not comply with the abt.ve
request by the first day of April next, will l'OSI
TIVELY be placed upon our " Black List," for
publication as a warning to other Publishers, and
their names immediately erased from our subserip
tion books.
0' We are in earnest, gentlemen-send on
your dimes promptly and don't compel us to deal
harshly with you.
CF' M9ss KITTIE G. is assured that her reply to
the "Bread" enigma should receive a place, if it
were not that one sufficiently satisfactory has already
been published.
The Cash System.
THERE is a new houtse in Augui ta-a dry-goods
house-which has adopteI the cash system, with
" Short profits and quick returns" as th- ir motto. It
is the establtshment of J. K. BANCROFT, to whose very
attractive advertiseineut we invite attention.
A Slight rail of Snow.
Os Sunday night last we had a small visitation of
snow. The quantity may be estiinated by the fact
that it i ad all disappeared bef re mid-day, It is hoped
b; those who watch the meteorological signs, that we
may now have a spell of genial weather.
Clock Ropairing.
Mr. Wm. LEwas requests us to say to all those who
hve either Clocks or Cabinet Furniture to re pair, to
send it to him as early as possible, as lie ex: ects, after
two or three weeks, to be absent for a considerable
length of time. Those who reside out of the vicinity,
ad it is not convenient to send their work, by address
ing him a few lines, will receive promptattention. lie
does his work well, and warrants it to stand.
Dan Dooly's Trip to "Calumby."
Among sundry letters of an aspiring cast, received
of late, (the bulk of which have been consigned to the
flames,) we find one of such decided ridiculity as to
merit newspaper publicity. It isfrom an individual who
calls himself " Das DooL.y," anel is dated " Cloud's
Kreek," as the reader will perceive. Who DAN DoOLY
is. we have bothered our brain in vain to recall. But
he seems to know us very well, if we may judge from
a prefatory sentence or two of his epistle, which we
have omitted. And granting this to be so, we cannot
perhaps fairly exclude him on the hare grottd of doubt
as to his personal identity. Neither do we desire to do

Governor Butler.
Attention is asked to the article of " SAL.:DA" upon
the subject of honoring the memory of the gallant
leader of the Palmetto Regiment. The writer requests
us to aid him in advancing the object lie has at heart
And we would assuredly do so with a ready iand and
x willing spirit, did we know how to lend aty effective
)ssitance. The peop!e of South Carolina, in the re
notest corner of the State, know that the chivalrous

arolina name by his wvar-like death, sleeps his last

r District know that the remains of this distingnishbed
ot of old Edgefield munlder in his native dlust, ont the
silent, secluded banks of thte Saluda, in a spot where
none hut the foot-prints of affection ever tread. And,
knowing this, neither the State nor the District sees
proper to itnstittute the slightest efltirt to honor their il
lustrious dead abiove the commnonest felon that ever
Iwung from the gallo'ws-t rec. W~hat then can we say!1
r where is the use of saying a word?! Any one who
wtll act in the matter may rest assured of our most
ordial support. Nor can we believe othmerwise than
that the District at large wotuld be found approving
most heartily some definite, practical plan by whic.iso
ood an object as thm:at desired by " SA LtCA" mould be
ttained. It is not because our p'-ople tare either par.
mnious or unmindful of gallant services, that they
now sleep over this matter. It is rather becauase no
feasible anti well.matured plan of action has thus far
been placed forward fur theiracceptance. When sueh
an one is presented, we venture the assertion that all
past neglect will be atoned for in a manner worthy of
d Edgefield's once famous generosity and highi tone.

A Difficulty.
Messrs. BANSs & Co. have sold their bargain, for the
building .'f the Blue Ridge railroad, to third parties.
Mr. GovaDN declares that he will not pay a single
dime fturther on the job under existintg circumstanaces,
reftusing thereby to recl'gnize the re-ponsibiility of thle
subcontractors. The Messrs. BANSs neCxt order a
suspension of all work on thte rojad. It is not knowno
whether the sub-contractors will heed the order. We
suppose it depends very much upon the conditions of
their trade with the original contractors. Thtere will
perhaps be a fiare-up among all concerned at an early
day. And a new agreement will probabaly be made
with new parties for the continuted prosecuati(on of the
work. And, after so long a time, the Blue Ridge road
may again make progress.
"Resolved" Enmity.
The following resolution is said to be an authentic
announcement from the Know Nothings of New York.
How a South Carolinian can swallow it without
hoking, we are uniable to conjectture. Mark the lit
bit well :
" Resolved. Thtat Slavery, like Papacy. is a moral,
social atnd political evil-at variance with the spirit of
otr republican institutions, and repugnant to thes- prin
ciphes of freemen ; that it is our dutty to resist its exten
sion, and that we cannot as Americans, consentto the
admission into the Uniotn of atny new State whose
Constitution recognizes humant bondage."
gg Vsa-rox is not the less venerable for being a
ttl out of fashin.
The "Crisis."
SINCE 1828. we have been continually either ap.
proaching. encorntering or escaping some political
crisis or another, each in its turn seemitig at the mo
ment to threaten a disruption of the American Con
federaey. Yet thus far that Confederary stands intact.
The centripetal forces at work in our s)item have
continued to over-hidance the centrifugal, until at
length a confidence has taken possession of a large
ptrt of th - A'merican people, amnunting with many to
absolIte faiIth in the indestruelibility of that mighty
ligament which hinds us (tile States) together as a na
tion. This conclusion is neither unnatural, nor alto
gether illogical. It is not unnatiral; hecause there is
a noble prompting which must frequently arise in the
breast of every American patriot, to hope for fthe per
manency of a Union founded by a common ancestry,
the better to preserve an independence ptrchased with
common blood. It is not altogether illogical because,
as the mariner trusts implicitly to the gool ship ie has
known to brave full many a storm, so is the ci'izen apt
to feel in regard to the government which has with.
stood repeated and dangerous emergencies unharmned.
But the confidence, thus engendered and thus based,
however its plausibility nay Itll to sleep all serious
apprehensions of approaching danger, is by no means
an " anchor sure anti stendfast." Is it not rather a
Syren, whose delusive insinuations may lead us laugh
ing and fiddling to the very brink of ruin ! If we con
suILt tile histories of such govermnents as are now
numbered "1 among the tlings that were," there will
stand out for our instructiin and warning, tmore titan
one instance to show that this blind ani unreflecting
confide-tce in the " powers that be'' is a certain con
colmitant, if not an active cause, of national degener
acy and down fall. In ti le case of tile Federal Govern
ment under which we live, it is enti ely true thatsome
dangerous jnnetures have been met and avoided. Dif
ferences have been adjusted, the hazardous tendencies of
which ha'l caused our most hopeful patriots to tremble.
Qtiet and comparative contentment have been restored
when revolution seened 'almost upon us. But let it be
remembered that there loas been, up to thif, point in our
history, a powerful :onuservative influence at work
which is fast passing away-we mean, tle influence
of those great men who drew their first lessons from
the very lips of tlte heroes of Seventy-Six. Trained to
believe that the Union, as established by their imme
diate progenitors, was lte great political "1Holy of
llolie," they stra ined their gigantic intellects tt pre
serve it inviilale. and to advance its glory. They saw
the imllnerse obstacle that was likely at an early day
ti) impede our onward march as a Confederacy. They
saw tle growsing sectional h'istility arising out of our
system of A frican slavery and the inftttation of North
ern fanatics in regard thereto. And they toiled to
avert the danger ttnttl, one by one, they have fallen,
martyrs as it were to their all-absorbing care for tle
weal of our free inistitutions. They are gone, and with
them has departed an array of experience, patriotismi
and genius which ias never been surpassed in the
palmiest days of any people, ancient or modern. It
is that experience, that patriotism, thr. genius, which
have war4ed ofy theevilhourof Atnerican dissensions.
CLAY, CAtHoUN and WEDSTER were the last of this
race of great men. And the grass has scarcely sprung
up in the shadow of ilteir tomb-stones, before tle
Demon of Discord has filled the country with his hide
ous etnissaries. Let any man of -andor mark, and
estimate pre perly. the stew (if parties and -ections of
parties, of isms andt phases of isms, now going on in the
huge cattldron of American poilitics, and he will surely
agree with us in saying that the day of patriotic con
ervatismt it our Federal councils does in ruth seen
to have passed off with t.:e immortal " Trio" just
mentioned. We know tlat there are some good be
lievets who wouli yet say to the disltea rtented of our
people, " Nerer Despair !'' They wtould have Us think
that ttll will yet come right-that there is att element
of safety still existant at bottom in the great Amertcan
mind, which will rise sooner or later in its iajesty, to
crush the swarming enemies of Truth, Justice and the
Constimion. " So mote it be!" lit when we look
the facts of the lay in th-e face, we are constrained to
tie opittion that to inthilge these hope of ir futtre
is little sOri of resoline blin Iness. Is it not better to
realize the magnitude of the coming r-torr as fully as

Mia. EnI-olt :-It is at reproach to the State, an
especially to the citizLiis of Edgt fieh, that this gal
lant Ollicer stili leeps witlotut a monument. It if
true we poured fourth our laudattis ot the " glori
I ous Pasnlmettos" in no mestsurel tsttlt. util indeed
we had well itigh exhausted the voeisbu.ary sf prii
ses ; but our appreciation of their mt rits have al!
1asted away it) the gas-cous fonil. To gratify I
universal desire, Col. 3U-rLFs rmviiains were buried
in Columbia, where it was expected by till that t
moniument would be built, either by the State .t it
Legislative capacity or by a geni ral sub:eript.oni U!
her citizens. 'Ihe initiatory steps w. re taket lur a
general subscription, in a complicated aln irregulat
manner, by almost every body. and the consvqueie'
is, nolhing has been dune.
Nearly eight years have elapsed since Col. Ik-T
IMl fell on the battle field. By his f.al South Caro
lina lost a brave and noble sun, but gained imper
ishable renown. Aud it is our duty to manifest out
appreciation of his worth, not by words alone, but
in soic.substatial way. His friends, after ' aiting
until it was apparent to all that there was no inten
tion in the minds of the people or Legislature tc
build a ionutent, removed his remins to the family
burying groutd in this )istriet. The seciing indif
ference and neglect which this tlng has mtet, musl
have been as imiortifying to Is friends as t is dis
graceful to us, his fellow-citizeits. But I cannot b.
lieve it is for watt of love or admiration of our glo
rious dead who fel! in Mlexico; yet it evideml
smacks of culpable procratslination and a wait it
pubie spirit tota:ly unbecoming Carolinians
But the case of Coll. Bu-ri.itn is nt, sigular. Our
great CAtLHoUN, the pride of Carolina, has thus far
met with a similar fate. It has besi five year.
since his death. y.t no tomb nsarks his resting place.
After ttakittg a grand display with trumsiu. ilags,
processions and speeches, we quietly deposited h
renains in a grave yard, anl thus they would per
hatls remain but for our women, (to our shame be it
spoken.) I trust it is beyond doubt now thait -t
work of erecting his rnonument will go on. But
shia1ll Col. HI rTLFa lie ntgleceI I Icfell .f1r8l, aind4
with his armor on. and ie should first have a msonsu
ntetnt. It is a duty we owe to him, a dity we owe
to ourselves, at duty we owe to psterity. 'lte cus
toi of rearing monuments to the hero is handed
down to us almost from time immemorial, and a
good custoi it is. It has a leatlthv influence oi tit
character of any people. I ask you therefore, Mr.
EDITOR, to say something on this matter. The wo
men have enough to do bringing us into the world
it is a shame for us to wait lar them to build our
monuments. Let us do something speedily and
practically. Let us call a meeting during Couri
week, and let us organize in sotne hape. If no On
else will, I think I can submit a plan which will be
successful. The thing can be done, and while we
are stibscribing thousands to Rai ItUnods, Odd,[ Fel
low's I lalls and Fairs, we certaitiv cantiot refuse to
subscribe a few dollars each, when pride, duty and
lionor are the incentives. SA LU 0A.
