LETTER No.1L
THE POLITICAL .ISSUE.
Tis now polical organization of our day
whiob,.from the'Attempted secrecy of its princi,
ples, and the success of Its movements, has at
tracted so much notice, is now before the coun
try for its judgmenk I do not intend to charge
against it, any thing which may increase the
asrimonions spirit, now so much excited. I de
sire only to examine the principles and rules o
conduct, which it is asserted belong to the Or
der. If I- mistake either or both, it will b
done. unwillingly, and innocently. I have wait
il the authorized exposition of both in vain
am now forced to assume these to be iti
principles, and this, its rule of conduct, whicl
age been charged as such., without denial or

-behalf. I shall endeavor to separate from the
distinctive aqd peculiar features of this Order
such opinions or principles, as are also enter,
tainediby the great mass of the people of this
onitry. The new Order has a right to asi
support for such political measures as it appro.
vea but if these measures are of doubtful poli
.ey, it has no right to enlist for their support
jod and- honest men, because it chooses alsc
'to profess as articles of its creed, other measures
'which-are of very .gen.eral approval. All mer
.believe,. to use one of the cant phrases, that
foreigners should not govern the country: per.
aci none desire this less, than foreigners them.
rlves: but it is false logic, for this Order, to
base its argument for the total exclusion of the
'loreigner, on its desire that foreigners should
-mot bold- exclusive sway. The concurrence in
the wise principle that the foreigners should not
era, does not.justify the proposition, that the
oreigner should be excluded, unless thefact is,
tha the foreigner does govern, and that to ex
* him altogether, is the only mode to deprive
'Iiof such power. But if he, agreeing with us
-llthat it is not right that he should govern,
*nd in fact does not govern, shall be neverthe.
4ess excluded altogether, the logic of the conclu.
sign would be excessively ridiculous, we pass
byits injustice, when it decrees an ordinance,
iecause of something, which does not, in fact,
.exist.
''The same view is applicable to the religious
(uistion which is made by this Order. The re.
-liglous tenets of the Roman Catholic Church,
IF qny not command the approbation of all: the
"iemporat power of that Church, may appear to
.,us, wanting much or all, that conduces to good
government: but is it because, we do not ad
'ire the spiritual Church, or disapprove its ex
erise of temporal authority, that we should
Ostracise those who do I Or if we all agree in
deelaring that the possession and profession of
'certain faith, with such consequences incident
,to it, as have been charged, are, if true, grounds
.for exclusion ; are we justified in declaring that
-exclusion.against those, who, admitting the pos
session and profession of the faith, deny the
bonsequences as incident to it, and are the best
witnesses of the truth or falsehood of the mat
ters so charged f And so in further justification
of this desired exclusion, reference is made to
the- influences, which, operating on the poor
foreigner, make him, as is alleged, pervert the
privilege of the ballot, become the tool of the
demagogue, and often, as is said, for gold, be.
.tray the trust he has in the vote he is allowed to
cast. Without questioning in the slightest de
gree the justness of the indignation which is ex
cited by the abuse of the privilege of voting, we
may well pause and enquire, before we record a
sentence of universal exclusion, what is the
true offence, which results from this abuse, and
next, whether the remedy proposed will relieve
-itta We distinguish between a remedy for the
evil, and the punishment of the offender. E xelu
gin may be the latter, but it cannot be the
frmer.
~The vote is the medium through which th
i6ntry ascertains the honest opinions of those,
~Iiio ar'e interested in its welfare. The bribe, is
the means by which this end is defeated in sub
~stituting tha'opinions of him who bribes, for his,
h-lolis-bribed. And therey h hoyo u
G~overnmfenlt, as one rest onhpubri ofinon,
ThisconseqUnls3(orknd, orstitou
b, by him who bribes, than by him, who is
bribed. The bribe proceeds from him whto
gives: unless it is given, he who takes, would
nt be bribed. The aeceptance of the bribe is
we may suppose the consequence of need: its
ofer proceeds from the desire to accomplish an
end, which, for some reason, is sought by him,
who gives it. The end that moves him who
gies it, is always a desire for power. It may
be for the power necessary for some one object,
or that wider power, which, for years, will di
ret the machinery of government. It may vary
indgre: in efe~ct it is the same. It begets
that evil spirit, which, in seeking means for its
rtification, seizes the weakness, the necessi
t:5s of'our nature, and adapts them to its use.
Exlude every foreigner, you still will leave a
sufficient number, subject to the bribe, to ac
complish all the ills, that excite these expressions
of- abhorrence froma the Order. To diminish
the number of those who are bribed, is not to
do away with bribery : it only tends by a reduc
tion of the number, to increase the price of the
bribed, or change the form in which the bribe is
offered. Mtoney buys one, 'office buys another:
and he who is bought with an office, becomes
enrolled among the great men of his day ; but
ie who -is bribed with money, becomes thereby
'sbject to that reproach which justifies his ox
pulsion.and is considered sufficeient to pastify
also the expulsion, of thousands, who were
born in the same clime with him. Who are
they who bribe ? Is it not the foreigner, who
bribes the foreigner, to supplant, that which we
'ia call, the native power i If the foreigner is
- red, it is not for or by the foreigner but for
and by the native. Then it is the native, he,
who is devoted in a higher degree, than any
other citizen, to the welfare of the country, wvho
doesan act, which he is enabled to do success
fully, because of his wealth, and the necessities
of the one, upon whom he operates ; and this
act be knows, lead, to the perversion of his
Gvrnment. Who, then, is the proper object
fr punishment ? According to the understood
rule of this Order, th~e native is preserved from
temptation, by removing from his reach, the
poor, whom he has made instruments with
which he could work out his designs. A Gen
eneral charged with the defence of his country,
uses hisa in uence with his army to attempt the
oveurthrow of his Government. The new reme
dy for the evil, is to exterminate the army, so
that the General may not have again the same
mens with which to accomplish his treasonable
practices.
Will it be said that because one-is a foreigner,
lie is therefore liable to be bribed ? This is not
so: and he is but a shallow observer of men,
who would affirm it. One who does not want,
is beyond temptationi. All who want are within
reach Qf temptationi. The nature anid extent of
their wants, determine the amount and character
of the influence that may control them. A for.
igner having no want, is according to all expe
riee, less subject to temptation, than another,
whether foreigner or native, who has wants, that
-require to be gratified. To fall beneath the in.
unae of temptation is the law of no particular
clime. In all ages, amona- all people, from the
lowest depths ofesavage li e, to the loftiest san
mit on which civilization reigns, it is found, as
frthi its sway. It is hostis humani generis.
On rthe other hand, with as much certainty as
that law to which we have just referred, and
wih subjects the needy.- to the influence .o
him who can satisfy their wants, is the desire
on te part of those who are in the possession
tf power, and by the most industrious mes
^t'es, 'extend the sphere of its imfuence. - He
who has placed his affections in the gratification
%'fpoiticl power, and has the means, whethei
from- wealth orotherwiseato secure it, will won
der at the closeness of the miser, and exclaim
-against the rapacity of. the usugr. Yet thai
miser, knows not how to love his hoard, with
the ame passion, that the politician loves hu
ppra; nor cats that usurer make from his sub
eg~ti same untold sacrifices, than he ox.
-'iguwo posessedof 'p~wer, wields it for the
-g'a~ficton of ihis- selfisli ainbition. When,
':the; we assign 'the -prevalence of bribery, ae
one of the measures, which are Lo be extirpated,
and that by the exclusion of all foreigers, WE
.sssght of the-fact, that thero will stillremain
d nefetedl adndiimlifished by this proceeding

.pwhissansee hesitated,anid. wil -never heei
t..e. by. any a..d all the mioans it posssse
whether money, political power, or any thing
else, to secure the accomplishment of its ends:
and that to. buy with money, is a measure ap
plicable to all classes who are in want; and .is
only one of the modes in which the same perni
cious result is achieved. To sell a vote is a
crime, because the vote is part of the public
treasure, for the time entrusted to the individu
al. However, or by whomsoever sold, the crime
is the same.
But to come to our point, somewhat nearer.
If exclusion, is the penalty to bevisited on for
eigners for the system of. bribery alleged to ex
ist, let us enquire into the truth of the fact, be
fore we proceed to the sentence. And if the
sentence is just, let it be pronounced on all
who are bribed, supposing as is before stated,
that the sin is in being bribed, and that there is
no reproach to him who furnish, the bribe. If
foreigners are bribed, are they alone bribed?
We have no statistics in this matter. Such re
cords are not often published. But we see
enough to enable us to approximate towards
the truth. Where is he, enlisted in party strife,
who will say, that the foreigner is the only one
bribed at elections? Who will say that they
furnish the most deplorable instances of the
corrupting influences of money i If rumor
speaks. truly, the most gigantic evidences of
the influences of money, even in our State,
are to be found in Districts, where the foreign
population bear an exceedingly small propor
tion, to the residents "of the manor born."
It is equally needless and unpleasant to refer to
other cases. It is sufficient, when seen in the
place referred to, to satisfy all, that the rich,
powerful, and ambitious will ever bribe, where
the population, is needy, and therefore subject
to temptation. And this holds in every com
munity, whether its members are native or for
eigners. We seem to think that this practice of
bribery is with us, a special evil; nor does it
seem, to have. occurred to those who become
thus horrified at its appearance, that it may be
an incurable part of every political system, in
which the popular will, is the controlling power.
If despotism prevails, you must buy or cajole,
which is itself a mode of buying, the Despot.
And the same rule will be followed in limited
monarchies, ant in popular governments. In
England as early as 1714, we hear of the prae
tice ; and at a late period,. learn, " that a great
number of persons, have no other livelihood
than being employed in bribing corporations."
True, all men who think at all, must regret it.
And doubtless while there are many, who under,
great excitement, have themselves contributed
to this practice, yet in the suggestion of any
practicable plan for its suppression or mitigation,
they would become earnest co-laborers. But
the alteration of a principle of government be
cause a portion of the foreign population is
bribed, is perhaps one of the wildest experiments
ever attempted.
When this Order, proposes, as it does, the
establishment of a new political basis; and in
doing that, proposes a modification of the sys
tem of government, it addresses itself to one of
the most important and dangerous offices, which
can be undertaken, even by the most experien
ced. A system however objectionable, often
has some relieving quality, which, if duly con
sidered, should induce those who attempt its
extirpation, to be well assured that the menas
ures they propose, are better than those they
seek to uproot. The rotten borough system of
England, against which Parliamentary orators
iveighed with as much severity as they did
against the slave trade, was a system, bad as it
undoubtedly was, that first brought into politi
cal notice, Lord Chanceller Cowper, Harley,
Walpole, Steele, Addison, Prior, Chesterfield,
Pulteney, Bolingbroke and others. And to the
influence of money in the hands of the commer
ial class of Great Britain, has. been ascribed,
the infusion of that liberal and popular element
in the British Constitution, which has mainly
contributed to the celebrity it has acquired, as
affording the people who live under it, political
benefits, only inferior to those enjoyed under
our own Constitution. But this, and any other
consequence, could never make bribery proper;
yet they inay wel' justify us, in asking that in
the-reformation of this abuse, we should remem.
brtaTreme(Iy-may oc-wrse uunuia
ease.
Another matter, which is often seriously
dwelt upon, is that it requires a long probation
to enable a foreigner to u'.derstand our system
of government: and that in ignorance of this,
the exercise by him of the privilege of voting,
is an injury to the country, or may be so. WVhat
is meant by this understanding of our system
of government? Do we shut our eyes to the
fact, that we are not among ourselves agreed as
to the tfue nature of our government ? That
we maintain for it, a construction, involving a
theory, that elsewhere, than among ourselves, is
considered revolutionary ? And th.it in other
portions of our country, another theory is main
tained, that we reject and denounce, as leadimg
to consolidation or despotism ? And if this is
rot sufficient to show how wild is this objection,
let those who make it, go into the streets, or
without taking that trouble, ask themselves,
what is the nature of the Government under
which they live? Is it certain that the answver
would be such, as is intelligible either to them.
selves or others ? Come into the busy thorough
fares of this crowded city, and satisfy yourselves.
how many meni of keena intellect are informed
as to the principle of our Stamte Government.
Ask upon what principle representation rests in
the Legislative Department of our State, and
then you will become convinced, that a free
people are more concerned about the ends of
Government, than its details.
The best evidence that a citizen gives of his
attachment to the laws, is when lie supports
them, and is willing to risk his life in their de
fence. The highest proor of that understand
ing, which properly appreciates our institutions,
is when one is willing to die, rather than sur.
vive their loss. Has the foreigner been want
ing in this evidence of understanding? i~e
knows but little of the history of his country
from the time she raised her arm to assert her
independence, to the present moment, who will
withhold this credit to them, so emitnently de
served.
It is with no chilled and foreign feeling, that
we recall the names of Steuben, Montgomery,
Pulaski, Kosciusko, Lafayette, Gallatin, .and
others, of a former days; that since then,
Shields, and a host of others, have proved themn
selves inheritors of the same devotedness ; and
twice when the flag of South Carolina wvas
struck down by its enemy, it was the privilege
Iof a foreigner to lift it again to triumph in the
breeze. Jasper, a foreigner, amid the thick balls
of England's ernnon, re-planted it on the battle
ments of Fort Moultrie; and Leonard, a foreign
er, bore it across the bloody field of Chapultepec.
They only sneer at such instances of devotion,
who never have been where these men were.
But it is said the foreigner never becomes
identified with this country. Strange assertion,
when considered in connection with the repeat
ed instances of desperate valor, in support of
its rights and fame, to which we have just allud
ed. But the charge is not true. Point out the
case in three-fourths of a century during which
our political existence has extended, in which
there has been this alleged want of identifica
tion? No State in this Union can give stronger.
evidence than our own State, of the devotion
of the Foreigner. In 1831 and '32, when the
State prepared for a conflict with the General
Government, a foreign corps claimed, and still
claims the credit of having been the firsts to
offer its services. In 1836, when the United
States made its draft on South Carolina, a for
eign company volunteered, and to the extent of
its number, relieved the draft. A short time
previous, when the .citizens of St. Augustine
asked protection, another foreign corps was
among the. frst to offer its services, and went to
that city, the defenceless and unprotected ; and
as if ,to the Southern States, and to South Car
olina in particular., their devotion should be
always so manifest, that naked justice would
compel her to stand up in theIr support, in
Massachusetts, when the- people of Boston
threatened to subvert .ths law of the country.
deny the right of a slaveholder in his property ;
foreign companies guarded the temple of Jus
tice, and foreign companies protected to the sea
shore, the right of thIe master to his property.
It was on that occasion, that a forefgher testinied
with his life, his fidelity to the-country Whose
commision he -had. . Nor is t1ffs all. Where
now are those portions of the Militia in Mssa
chusetta tha& at that time, (we alluden to the
excie.....ic~ gre.. nit of theo assettleuI of
the owner's right to the slave Burns;) with arns
in their hands, in obedience.to a requisition put
upon them throtgh.the Federal Executive, plant
ed them in support of the laws of the land ?
Laws which, in their enactment, recognized the
legal right of the slaveholder, and by their pro
visions secured to him the continuance of these
rights, when the slave had fled across the border
of his State. Laws which, because they did so,
although enacted in pursuance of the manifest
intent and plain letterof the Constitution, fur
nished an occasion for the exercise of a revolu
tionary and lawless spirit infinitely more akin to
some of the days of the French Revolution,
than any thing before then . presented in our
country. Where now are these men? Are
they honored? Are they rewarded? The Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, the Governor elected
by the Order, disbands these companies ! The
men on whom the integrity of the country for
the time rested-the men who fearlessly dis
charged the highest duties of citizenship-the
men who proved that they best understood what
Freedom meant, when they supported the -laws.
enacted for its protection-these men, in obedi
ence to a law of the Order, are degraded from.
their rights of citizenship, and held to be un
worthy of 'bearing arms in its defence. Phillips,
Garrison, Sumner, and Seward, fit expositors of
what is right and proper for the citizens of
Slaveholding States, pronounce such men dan
gerous to the Republic; and we, forsooth I are
asked to cry amen, to this patriotic ordinance.
But it is said, the foreigner cannot feel the
same attachment to the country of his adoption
as he does, who here drew his breath ; and that
he should not be equally entitled to its advan.
tages. It depends altogether on the determina
tion of the question, how much one loves his
country, to decide that the love of a stranger is
inferior. We can readily imagine many cases,
in which it should be ithpossible for any one to
love this land more than the foreigner. If to
him, as it has been to so many, it has proved
sanctuary: if it were that beneath our flag he
might repose from the hot pursuit of those who
sought his: life, because of an abortive attempt
to improve the land which gave him birth; it
though not the-place which gave him birth-it
is the place which gives him life and liberty;
why is it, that his love for it should not be as
great as any one can entertain for any land?
The love of country is cherished as a sentiment,
and fitly too. But it is not always so consider
ed. Gibbon considers it no more than a selfish
principle, resulting from the identification of
our interest with a particular soil. If lie is
right, then love of country is a delusion; and
its existence altogether unsafe, as the basis of
private or public action. For if its spring and
end are sellish, then may you as well expect
fixedness in tracings on the sands of the sea
shore, as in a declaration of organic laws fram
ed from the ever-shifting guides of what is
selfish in its nature. But it is not so. Deprav
ed is he, who does not feel towards the place of
his birth the reverence and affection, which nev
er die with him, towards the parent who gave
him life.
Assuming, then, that the place of one's biet
does give him a degree of affection towards it,
greater than can be felt by one who is born
elsewhere, let us examine how far this is intelli
gible, as one of the ends which justify this
order. In these United States, what do you
call one's country? Is it the State, or the
United States? ' If you say the State, the mem
ber of the Order in New-York, or in any place
North of Mason & Dixon's line, will tell you
that you are verging towards treason and in that
lie does little to afirm your love of country.
It you sny that it is the United States, thein let
e ask if there are any foreigners,~ whom you
elieve to have so little love of country, as the
rowd of Abolitionists, whose reckless orgies
are presided over by Seward and his party ? In
this, and in every other land, devoted to Free
om-there is no thorough understanding of
hat is called country. A Free .People arc
more devoted to a principle, than a place.
But throwing aside all these considerations,
ind coijeeding, as I admit of right there should
be, superior affection in the citizen born on-the
hih our, institutions afford, is not, and cannot
e supported. WVhat with us is (or should be)
the test of itness fo'r office? Do we refer to
he qualities of the applicant, or to the place of
his bir-.h, or the color of his hair? What with
s is oltice? Is it not a :ublic trust? Who is
its proper administrator? Is not the answer
nstructive, he who is best qualified ? Will you
say that this test is now obsolete I If~ so, who
mde it so but yourselves? And if it is not so
ow, ought it not to be so now, and forever?
f any wish to institute reform, commence it in
this; but for this reform, multitudes will come
o you from the high ways and bye-ways. In
this, there would be no occasion to operate by
night, or invoke secrecy as a means essential to
sccess. -
We are conceding too much, however, when
e discuss the claim of right to otlice, as being
held superior on the part of the native. In the
ranization of the Order, there is no degree of
omrms t all admitted. He who is not born
here, is disfranchised by the faict of his birth,
and the Order is sworn to support the decree.
No matter how well qualified-how devoted to
our land-how encompassed with the respect,
admiration, and affection o'f all who know him
-no matter how~ necessary his services to the
ublic weal ; how unfortunate the loss of his
services-no matter hiow strong private virtue
and public honor-a regard to truth and justice,
blic as well as private-duty to the man, our
selves, and our country-our own undeniable
onviction of the right of the one course, and
wrong of the other--may plead in his behalf,
and against the rule of the Order-still, because
e was not born here-though he came to us
before manhood, or even at a time to which
emory will not lead him, he becomes the vic
tim of a sentence, whlich in its operation de
grades, because it disqualities him.
TEnRIBLE HAI SToams.-The severest hail
storm that ever visited this section of country,
passed down the east side of Keowee river, in
the afternoon of Friday the 18th inst. It ex
tended about two miles in width, and raged with
great fury, killing hogs, fish, birds, fowls, and
insects; maiming and bruising the cattle, and
stripping vegetation of every vestige above
ground. The~ growing crops, with the excep
tion of corn, is completely ruined. R Stewart,
Isq., informs us that on the third day after its
fall, the hail was from one to two feet deep,
nd, in many places,. six 'feet. Theo average
depth on a level,.after the storm, wans four inches.
We are ,informied by several persons that the
largest hail stones measured ten inches in cir
umference, and others four inches in length.
It fell with such force that the boards on several
uses were split to pieces, and that now the
stench arising from the decaying vegetable mat
ter is very offensive.
We are indebted to the kindness of W. J.
Parsons, Esq., for a small .carpet bag full of
the hail,gathered up on yesterday (the eighth day
after its fall.) Some of the stones were as large
as guinea eggs, and had been taken from an
open field, the thermometer standing at 90 du
ring the two days past...
The storm extended from the mountains in
North Carolina east.-Pickens 6'. C. Courier.
ABOLITION AGENTs KILLED.-A notorious

One christmas day not man! years gene-by some

OUR rzsHING PARTY.
Ma. Zrron:-The.morning of the 21st dawned
with as clear and cloudless sky as ever shone in
Southern climes. A gentle shower had fallen the
night previous, sufficient to cool the arid air and lay
the light dust. Early as the lark, every one were
on their feet, fixing fishing hooksj lines and poles,
preparatory to making a foul destruction among the
finny tribe. The continued rumbling of wheels, the
tramping of hoofs, the maiden's merry laugh, the
matron's gentle -song, as they rolled smoothly on,
announced that something unusual was on foot.
Soon a fine company of J adies were assembled at
Coleman's Mills, from far and near, some from An
derson, Richland, the Ridge, Shaw's Creek, old
Edgefield, and even " here." In went hooks, and
out come the fish, (and a little squeal with it,) just
as natural as though they were used to it. But
after enjoying this sport for some time, old Sol and
General now met and assembled and concluded,
out- of sheer pity for the inhabitants of Agum, that
come away we must, the one by sending forth beams
-of the direst heat, the other strains of dulcet melo
dy. Their combined efforts were sufficient to light
en the foot and -thrill the bosom of either maid or
matron of whatsoever degree. At any rate the fair
ones were soon in the house arranged by the
side of their gay chevaliers, and led on by the
"soul inspiring music," they ' trip'd the light fan
tastic toe," as smoothly and softly as the Spirits and
Fairies did in days of yore, until exlhusted Una
wares, the dames (may they live forever) held a
council and declared the inner man must be re
freshed. There being no dissenting voice, a table
sprang forth as from the touch of the magician's
wand, laden with all the viands and delicacies of
the season, rivallinthat, of that good old jolly
souled host Robin Hood en and there we had
such a" feast of reason n flow of sod" fbrival
led before in the annalsof th nd-hifs. The ready
wit, the lively sally, the ieI repartee, all showed
how well each acted and enjoyed his part. This
though, like all other good things, must have ap
end. But then came the desert of the day. Parties
of " two" or three, or perhaps more, strolled away
to find the cool shades, beneathed the trysted oaks,
or with gentle swelling music, in the boat, they
floated smoothly over the rippling surface as the
gay gondolier, and seemingly reviving "Tasso's
Echoes in Venice" again. Now was the time when
the most fastidious "admirer of beauty," could have
selected to suit his taste. There was the light-hair
ed blonde, with liquid blue eyes, and the dark ra
vened-tressed brunette, with her piercing black orbs
-all were there, all " sorts, sizes and kinds," from
the mountain maid, as brilliant, gay and dazzling as
the sun, to the highland beauty, who, like the se
rene moon, sheds forth her mild rays of pleasure
and happiness on all around. Now, kind matrons
and gentle dames, to whom we are under such pro
found obligations, before we shut ourselfin our form
er shell of exclusion, listen ye a little. That you
are fair, handsome and dignified, no one doubts;
that you are kind, amiableand generous, the Pie-Nie
is sufficient proof; that we love you a little for giv
ing it, and will love you more for the next, we here
by certify. That changing expression of sweetness
and good humor, in your countenance, the thousand
lights that played about your face, and "left no.
shadow there;" above all, the smile-the cheerful
happy smile-were entwined with the best sympa
thies and af'eetionp of our nature. And now, Col
onel and Major, th.. life-blood,. bone and sinew of
the fun and fishing. ir. hem jovialty -revels, and
good nature reigns supre..ne, when we have another
fishing party, may you " be and appear" there.

day I sat in my old arm-chair, ruminating on mat
ter. and things in general, which ruminations were
occasionally interrupted by the crowing of the old
lame Shanghai, the chirping of the chickens, and
now by the word of command given by a certain
officeer of the household, or am shriek from the wee
toddling bain as it fell down in its attempt to catch
the young duckling. When a quick, sharp trot up
the road drew my attention, and ho and behold here
somae the mail boy, mounted on his faithful sorrel,
SSpread Eagle." which caused me to colleet my
scattered thoughts and lay my plans for the-day's
lisposal.
We had been somtewhiat retarded in the farm
vorc by the recent heavy rains, and as the ground
vas still too heavy to plough, I had marshalled all
ny furee to the hoes. Thinks I to myself, I'll take
ride over the plantation and 'sec that every thing
a getting on smoothly, and so when the time is up
can be at leisure for a ride to the office, and have
regular feast on all subjects, from the affair. of<
Jhiurchr and State, down to a regular dish of bacon
nd greens from our amateur agriculturists, Messrs. t
Co-rron &s SCooTaa." Mly old shuffler firstr
rought nme to the wheat Eeld which was ready fore
de harvest. As I examined the .beautiful golden -c
harts, so heavy with the weight of their well ma- a
ired, symetrically formed .grains, a throb of grati- V
ade to the Giver of all gifts expanded my bosom, a
nd a silent prayer floated upward from my un-t
-orthy heart ; and then came the pleasing acd eon-t
ling thought that my better-half would soon have
o occasion to throw out ominous hints that thet flour j<
srrel was nearly empty, nor thechildrena to discuss 0
me relative merits of corn-bread and biscuit, which a
abject was debated regularly at every meal as ab
it at me that flour should be hunted up. But as
at article wvas quoted at ten and twelve dollar. the vy
mrrel I concluded to wait a few days, which would ce
least cause them to appreciate the article as it
ould be. From the wheat field I turned to the
its patch, and here again was a prospect of abun- O
inee. Next, to the corn-fields, which in my self- S
mplacency I compared to cane-breaks in embryo, tal
darkly, deeply, beauitifully green were the waving,
stling blades as they swayed to and fre to the cool at
orning breeze. The only drawback to my felicity ,
as the abundant coating of tender grass which had ci
rung up as if called to life by the wand of some th
astern juggler. Next in rotation camne the-cotton- hc
Ia, and here again was a prospect of a glorious of
gathering, both of cotton and hay, for if the grass b
d looked like the offpring of magic in the corn- b
Ida, the superabundance of the Cotton bespoke th
agency as powerful as Alladins lamp-only pa.- of
rage for cattle and not gold would be the result. hii
twithstanding, a walk though my nicely kept ex
riving kitchen garden soothed my startled feelings ~

found at all. In the very heat of the battle with
out a word of apology they had decamped and left
us in the crisis of the-fray without shield or buckler.
My heart sank despite my indignation. I bounced

The United States mail Steamer Pacific arriv
ed here this morning at half-past 7 o'clock, with
Liverpool dates to May 19.
The siege of Sebastopol was almost unchang
ed. An expedition of 15,000 allies had embark
ed at Kamiesh and put to sea in the direction
Wf Azoff, but returned without landing. No
details of the movement were known.
Large reinforcements for the Allies were ex
pected at Sebastopol within ten days.
The negotiations between Austria and the
Western Powers were unchanged, but between
Prussia and Austria they were more intricate
than ever.
Russia notifies the German State Govern.
ments that the Czar will only hold to the first
two guarantees on the condition of the perfect
neutrality of Germany.
France and England have presented arrulti
matum to Sweden, which that Power seems in
clined to reject.
The French Exhibition had been opened, but
the ceremony was rather dull.
Pianori, who attempted to shoot Napoleon,
had been executed.
Marshal Canrobert has resigned nominally, on
account of ill-health. Ho is succeeded by Gen.
Peliesier.
Previous to l.is resignation, Canrobert review
ed the entire French army, and assured them
that they would soon enter Sebastopol, either
by the door or the window.
- A colmbat occurred on the night of the 24th
between the Russians and the French, which
proved a most desperate affair. The Russians
attempted to dig new rifle pit, and the French
partially prevented them. Two hundred French
troops were put hors du combat.
A despatch of the 1st of May says the ad
vances of the allies are approaching Sebastopol
surely though slowly.
Lord Raglan's despatch of the same day says,
the Russians have constructed a new battery
to the left of the Mamelon, and there is every
appearance of the establishment of a very large
camp on the plateau above Belbeek, on the
North side.
The French government is understood- to
have received despatches announcing heavy rains
in the,Crimea, and the trenches of the allies full
of water, no as to cause a suspension of hostili
ties.
Count Caronine, the Commander-in-Chief, has
proclaimed martial law in the principalities.
A new manifesto of the Czar orders another
levy of twelve men in every thousand in the
seventeen wsstern provinces, to be completed
by the end of July.
There are indications of a more -Intimate re
lationship between Austria and Prussia, and the
publicity of an armed neutrality is becoming
more apparent. A conference between the
representatives of these two powers is in pro.
gress.
