ADDITIONAL BY THE AMERICA. The English journals generally regard the success of the allies against Sebastopol as com ,., plete enbugh for all useful purposes. f The Paris Debate contains the following notes on the present occupation of the allied army, from the pen of Col. St. Ange: " It has been asked if Sebastopol is tenable, so long as the Russians remain mastelt of all the forts on the north side, which line the 'sea in front on-the town? Undoubtedly; it may be held.in spite of this. It is true that the occupa tion of the north by the Russians prevents our entering the roadstead and the port. What need have we of them when we already possess excellent harbor? Have not our fleets aire tdy pass the winter without incurring any danger in these waters? It has also been asked if the allies will have to undertake, now or later, the siege of the forts on the north side ? There appears to be no absolute necessity for so doing. ,,The forts on the north side can neither pre vent our occupation of Sebastopol, nor can they thwart our operations in the interior of We Crimea, on account of their eccentric situation. We should not be surprised at their being blown up '.o soon as the Russian army is com pelled to retreat from the neighborhood of Se ba.,topol. For the present the allied army holds its strong position untilthe occupation of the town shall have been properly 'arranged and its chief defences thoroughly repaired. It does not appear to have anything else to do at present. The Ruesi:atn army, for its part, occupies the ex cellent position of Mackenzie, strongly entrench. ed lined with redoubts like our own. The Rus sians will probably continue in observation be fore us within their strong positions, until the allied army gives signs of some movement." In regard to the losses of the French, a Freneh letter, says: The-death of General de Salles, who made the-attack on the Central Bastion, is not con firmed. The names of those killed are Generals Rivet, Le Breton and Niel. General de Alatrol les is missing, and it is feared that he has met his death from the explosion of a mine. Gen oral Ctnestoes is severely tv:unded, and Gen eral Cassigne. the favorite aid-de-cramp of GeneratlBellissier, mortally-so. Of the French casualties otherw isee we. know as yet nothing positive. The total number is as yet not al lowed to transpire. Some believe that it will be found to amount to 10,000, including thte English loss, while others form a lower esti mate." A Paris letter says: Not withstanding the ru mors which are afloat, Gen. Bosquet has not re eived any wound. The deathl of General Cas Ssigtie has' caused deep regret throughout the army.. Ot the combined loss of the allies, the latest London paper say.': " Something like an approach to the actual lose 'sustained by our allies on the 8th instatnt has at length been obtained. In a telegraphic commeauiention to the Ffench i~overnmnent, -Mar - il~ Pelia~idr'states that about 4,500 wounded including 240 officers, have gone to the hospi -tals; but ats regardse the naumber of killed he lad not benn able to obtain an exact return. It is. however, thme opinion of the mazrshtal that they do not exceed thte ordinary proportion, viz: 'about one third of thme anber of the wounded." The Globe, referring to a statement of thte Mortning Post, that the total English loss in killed atnd wounded at the attack of the Redan was 2.000, says that of that number between. five and six hundred were killed. We learn from the last oficeial di.'patcha received by Lord Pantmure, thatt the number of officers killed is 26, wounded 114, and missing one; total 141. It has been estimated in the absence, of thme officeial returns, that the number of men killed would be about 220, antd wounded 1,596; total 1,817. According to ids calculation the total of men and offieers killed and wounded would be 1,957. Russri PAslC.-It appears that not less than 1,200 guns of large calibre haave been found by the ahsat Sebastopol. It is thought the Run siana will have made an attempt to redeem their -defect by again attacking ut, and it is rumored , s-day that the government was in expectation oftthe news of a great battle. During the as. sault the Russian artillerymen were killed at their guns, but it is affirmed that with that ex ception, a panic took complete possession of the arm at the appearance of the allies in the IR~ako' Tower. Their hasty retreat was oc casioned by the fear that we should fire on the bridge and tatke them prisoners. A telegraphic despatch from Balaklava, dated Sunday, 9th Instant, 3 A. M., states that 650 Rausan soldiers and 27 officers were taken pri sonera in the Malakoff on Saturday. PROTECTED CAMPAIGN 03 THE DANUBE.-The Vienna correspondent of the Independence speaks of a new and important, diversion by the Western Powers on the Lower Danube, and it -is said that the co-operation of Austria hmas beeni declared necessary for the complete success of the operation. It is said, however, that the cx p edition ie actually decided, and that Gen. Letang Is expected daily in Vienna. DENMAREI AND THE SotND DUis.-A letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the Danish government has declared itself willing to reduce the Sound Dues for all coun tries. It Is said that Austria has strongly re commended Dennmark to make this concession, and that this latter Power will shortly mako its intentions known to all the States interested in the question. In the course of a leading artie on the same subject, the Pays expresses a firm conviction that an European Congress must assemble before long to discuss and regu 1ste not only the question of the Sound, but .evursl other., which have remained for some time in suspenso. Tns NoRTH SIDE OF SEBAsTotor.-At the latest advices the Allies were not in possession of the.North side iof Sebastopol, where the for tificati'ons are of great strength, and command, 4 on account of their elevated position. the oppo site shore. An American, who is serving as an officer of the medical staff in the Russian army, -gives the following description of the forts on the north side of tihe bay: "On the north side of the bay is also a sue cession of hills, some of which are very high, and running in every direction. You find on them all bastions facing in every direction. These bastions and redoubts extend up the bay for a mile or so from the city, and some of them are very effective, pouring nearly a continued stream of bells across thme bay into the enemy's battery which is nearest the bay. I think'it very doubtrul whether the Fren'eh would be .able to hold this city for any length of time, if they could get possession of it, from the fact that the hills on the north side are taller than those on the south." RECEIFTS OF Frwua AND Gajwm.-The receipts of flour and wheat are materially on the in crease, both by the Erie Railroa:I and the Hud son river boats. The arrivals of flour yesterday by the latter amounted to nea-ly 18.000 barrels; wheat 41.000 bushels; corn 65,000; and .oats 30,000. The receipts for the remainder naviga tion by river and canal will be much larger thian eve befrea known--N. Y. Enquirer. ARTHUR SIMKINS, E ,. RDGFIE ?$ C. WEDNESDAy/CTOBER 11, 1855.

Wr have been visited th's fall by an unusually early killing frost. The hopes of farmers are thus bligb'ed, and the Cotton Crop, which has never been estimated even as high as an average crop, is cut short. In many places where the crop of Cotton was thought to be the most promising, the frost has killed the top crop, and we thus judge that the crop will fall con siderably below former iexpectations. A gentleman who has noted the early frosts in formner years, has kindly furnished us with the following statement: In 1852 the first frost was on the 15th November; in 1853, on the 25th October; in 1854, on the 15th No vember, and in 1855, on the 7th and 8th October. WHERE IS THE TINNER I Itt order to put a stop to:the numerous and never ceasing cries of the anxious multitude which are con. stantly assailing our ears, " Where is the Tin Shop t" " Where is Mr. RFo ?"" Where is TOI 1" &c., we refer our readers to the notice of 's Removal of the Tin Manufactury," which will inform them of REFO's whereabouts, and where they can still be supplied with Tin "are of unsurpassed style, manufactured according to "Gunter," und at his usual moderate prices. A long tin horn, of enormous size, will be blown daily at the break of day, at which time the shop will be opened, and customers politely waited on. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Wz beg leave to-direct the special attention of our readers to the advertisement of WILLIAM H. CRAs, of Atgusta. It will he seen that Mtr. C. is a Cask dealer, and those who wish to purchase the best goods -at the lowest price, had better give him a call. V' We also request our readers to notice the a I vertisement of T.

Wi are happy to state, (says the Richmond "aDea palch," of Friday last,) that the Fever has almost en tirely disapr.eared from Norfolk and Portsmouth. There was not a single death in the fatter city during the tn enty-four hours ending with sunset Wednesday. There are several old cases which may terminate fatally, but the disease has ceased to exist as an epi demic. There were only five deaths in Norfolk for the 24 hours' ending Wednesday evening. The stores on Market Sqnare were open, and the town had begun to assutme a cheerful appearance. " HURL r~a FOR GEORG.II." IT will be seen by the following results of the can vass in Georgia, that the Anties have carried the day, and that the Know Nothings are not such an all-fired, powerful party, after all their secret machinations to subvert the liberties of thne old empire State. We re joice that the old lady has again " skinned thec cat." TuE RESULT OF TnE CANVAS.-We have oficial and tnoaficiat returns from ninety-three counties, and there cannot be a reasona'ble doubt of the re-election of Hi. V. Johnson, by at least two thousand votes over the joint voites of Judge Andrews and Mr. Overby. The vote for the Prohibition candidate will reach about six thoausand. The election oif six anti-Know Nothings, and two Know Nothinags to Conigress, is generally admitted. There will be a very decided majority of anti-Know Nothings in the Legislature. DIETE~TIC. Paonssoa SILLIMtAN, who is very hearty and ac tive at the age of seventy-six, accounted for his con dition, in a recent address, after the following man ner: lie said that at thirty lie was dyspeptic and feeble. He cut off derterminedly all stimulants, and had used noine since. He dieted one year, and then returned to hiis labor. lie ate always plain, nutritious food, and drank nothing but plain dilutent drinks. He eschewed tobacco in every form. Every morning he used the sponge and cold water, and felt now no less power of endurance than when he was a young man, and no abatement of instellectual power. MRES. LAURA V. DUNBAR.

With unutterable woe !R.C CONVERSION OF A DESERT INTO A LAKE. Wuaw wilt wonders cease I Haers is a new work suggested, which for boldness of conception has never been surpassed, unless by the Promethean idea of get ting fire from Heaven : Captain William Allan, of the British navy, hau published a book advocating the conversion of the Arabian Desert into an ocean. The author believes that the great valley extending from the Southern de pression of the Lebanon rneto the head of the Gulf of Akaba, the Eastern branch of the head of the Red Sea, has been once an ocean. Is Is Inin lae thirteen hundred feet below she level of the Meiter ranean, and in it are situated the Dead Sea and the Sea of Tiberias.

EDITOR :-In common with many thousands, I have been much interested-in the perusal of this work, and nothing is farther from my intention than in any way to disparage It, fdr it is in myseimation The Book of the present.generation, as reipecls the sub jects on which it is written. I simply wish to place in comparison .one of the finest passages of the author and an extract from a sermon by CnairsTas Evars, of Wales,.an ecen tric Baptist minister, who died in ]838, worn out with age and successfully faithful labors. This extract from the "one-eyed Welchman," Is think, will not suffer by comparison with the production of theerudl 'i Dr. C., though much of its beautyand force is perhaps lost in the translation. The permission to insert thei. articles will be respectfully appreciated by Truly yours, B. L. W. DR. CUMMING. "Suppose, to illustrate this truth, an iaciosure in some part of our world, many miles in circumference, filled with the diseased, the dying. and the deidi Love, like an angel of mercy, comes down from the uppersanctuary, and looks upon the gigantic inclosure, weeping at the painful spectacle of the dying in all their stages of disease, and the dead sleepip beneath the shadow of despair. Approaching one o the gates, Love finds a sentinel stationed to guard it, and asks his name ; he answers, ' I am Truth.' Love asks, "Is it possible I may enter here to heal the dying, and hid the dead arise I Truth replies,' I have wnne n, The soul that sinneth, it shall die; and I cannoteancel-it.' Love hastens to another gate, and finds another senti el, and asks his name; and his a-sewer is, 'I am Holiness.' Love says 'Cannot the dying be restored and the dead be made to live ' Holiness replies, ' I can permit none that are impure to escape from their. congenial residence, and hold communion with'the holy.' Love goes to a third gate, and finds there a sentinel whose name is Justice; Love asks the ques. tion, 'Can the dying be healed? can the dead be quickened ? may I enter to redeem the one, and to re store the other?' Justice .replies, 'I have weighed them in the scales, and it is written upon them all, Altogether wanting.' Love asks, Then what is to be done? I would recover the dying, 1 would quicken the dead. How is it possible to accomplish it!'- Jus tice, and Truth, and Holiniess reply 'If an atonement can be made adequate to our demands, we will sur render the keys intrusted to our care; and not only may the dying be recovered, and the dead live, but we will assist to accomplish it.' Love returns to that residence from whence it came, and announces the solemn and faithful fact, that either all living crea tures in our lost world must sink into hell forever, or some glonous atonement must be made, so-efficacious that all the attributtbs of God shall be glorified, and Love enabled to reach and reclaim the perishing ril ty. The question is asked, amid the millions of TIea ven-' Who shall go for us? Who is prepared to bear the curse and exhaust it, to magnify the law and make it honorable!' All heaven ts dumb; angels are dumb, archangels are dumb, the seraphim that burn and glow around t' a everlasting Throne are dumb. At last, 'a still small voice' proceeds Irom the Throne, as of a Lamb that had been plain, saying, 'Here am I, send me; lo, I come!' That Saviour descends to our world--assumes our nature-for usendores the curse for us obeys the law-for us takes its sting from death, and its triumph from the grars ; and as the mingled tones of agony and triumph-' It is finished'-reverber ate through the earth and reach the heavens, Justice resigns it, keys, Holiness fings open its tes, Truth declares all threatenings met and satisfi , Mercy on ters the inclosure with more than Gilead's ianlm; the dying are reste'red, the departed are quickened, the tomnbs of the dead become the tabernacles of the livin, the wilderness rejoices, and Zion's courts resound 'Glory to Gud in the highsst, on earth peace, good-twill towardi men." DR. EVANS. 'Suppose a vast graveyard, aurrounded by a lofty wall, with only one entrance, wilich is by a massive iron gate, and that is fast bolted. Within are thou sands and millions of human beings, of all ages and classes, by orre epidemic disease bending to the grave. Thte graves yawn to swallow them, andat they must all perish. There is no balm to relieve, no physician there. Such is the ce~ndition of man-as a sInner. Alt suave sinned ; and it Is written,' 'The soul that ainneth shall die.' Btit while the enhappy race lay In that dismal prisoni Mercy came and stood at the gate, and wrqptovr the melancholy scene, exclaimingg 'O that I might enter! I wo~ald~ bind up their wounds.; I would relieve their so'rrows; I would save their souls!' An embasy of angels, commissioned from the court of Heaves to some othaer world, paused at the sight, and Heaven forgave that pause. Seeing Mercy statnd ing there, they cried :-' Mercy ! canst thou not enter! Canst thou look upon that scene and not pity!i Canat thou pi:y, and not relievet' Mercy replied : " I can see !' and in her tears she added, ' I can pity, but I cannot relieve!' 'Why can't thou not enter!' in quired thae heavenly host. 'Oh!' said Mercy, 'Jus tice lies barred the gate agains~t me, and I must not cannot unhar it!' At this moment, Justice himnself appeared, as if to waicu thie gate. The angels asked, ' Why wilt titou not suffer Mercy to enter!' He stern ly replied: 'The law is broken, anid it must be htonor ed! Die they or Justice most!' T'hen appeared a form among the angelic bend like unto the Son of God. Addressing himself to Justice, he said : ' What are thy demands!' Justice replied: 'My demands are rid; I must have ignominy for their honor, sic-k ness lirtheir health, death for their life. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission!' ' Justice,' said the Son of God, ' I accept thy terms! On me be this wrong ! Let Mercy enter, and stay thie carnival of death ! ' What pledge dust thou give for the per formance of these conditionsl' ' My wonnl; my oath !' 'When wilt thou perform them!' 'Four thlousand years hence, on the hill of Calvary, without the walls of Jerusalem!' The bond was prepared, and signed and sealed in the presence of attendant angels. Jns ice was satisfied, the gate was opened, and Mercy entered, preaching salvation in the name of Jesus. The bond was committed to patriarchs and .prophets. A long series of rights and ceremonies, sacrifices and oblations, was Instituted to perpetuate the memory of that solemn deedl. At the close of the fourthotusandth year, when Dantiel's 'seventy weeks' were accom plishied, Justice and Mercy appeared on the hill of Calvary. ' Where,' said Justice, 'is the Son of G'ad?' ' Behold him,' answered Mercy, ' at the fool of the hill!' And thern lie came, bearing his own cross, and followed by his weeping church. Mercy retired, and stood aloof from the scene. Jesus ascended the hill, like a lamb for thet sacrifIce. Justice presented the dreadful bond, saying, 'This is the day on which this article must he cancelled." The Redleemer took it. What did hae do with it ? Tear it in pieces, and scat ter at to the winds? No! he nailed It to his cross, crying, 'It is finished !' The Victim ascended the al ter. Justice called on holy fire to come down and consume the sacrifice. Holy fire replied: 'I come! I will consume the sacrifice, and then I will burn up the world !' It fell upomn the Son of God, and rapidly con sumed his humanity; hut when it touched his D ely, it expired. Then was there darkness over the whole land, and an earthquake shook the mountain; but the heavenly host broke forth In rapturous song-' Glory to God in the highest! on earth peace! good will to man!'" -4 FOUNDLING AT A CAxIP MEETtNSG.-On Mon daty morning, 1st inet, some little children wan de'red out into the woods near the Methodist Catmp Meeting ground at Mount Olivet meeting house, near Piekensville in Pickens district, and about one hutndred yards outside the range of tents, they found a newborn infant by the side of an old' log, covered over with leaves and trash. The children ran back and told their mother, a kind hearted lady, who went out and brought in the little stranger, and dressed it and took care of it. Another lady asked for the child to be given to her, and has adopted it and bestowed upon it the name of Matrthaa Early. The unnatural woman is not, known. We learn some suspicions attach to a particular women. The child, when found, was supposed to be only a few hours ohtI, and from the situation in which it was placed, it seems to have been aban doned to perish unobserved. The horrible and shocking purpose of the mother has been dinnap pointed. The fear of public shame and dis g race was doubtless the cause of her conduct. Such tan occurrence is moat ra:-e in our country, but it proves that there are among us, here and there, worse than heathen hearts, " without nat ural affection," and who, an in this instance, reject every appeatl of the Gospel sounding in their ears.-Greenville Mountaineer. SALEs OF Hocs.-Holdera of hogs. in Ken tueky for packing are very stiff at high figures, and the Louisville Courier hears of sales in Danville, Boyle county, of between five thou sand and six thousand hogs at four-and-s-haif cent", gross. This is equal to six and-a-quarter cents net at the petas. Some eight, thousand hogs, for packing, recently sold at St. Louis at five to five-and-half cents. A pine tree In Darlington district took fire on the 9th day of last March, and is said to be still burning. The explanation is, that the fire com mnicated to the heart of the pine through a hole ptd6utbly made by a bird, from. which the turpentine was exuding. The fire Is entirely within, and being fed with air only through this ...a1l oi.fac,t bur.ns vae slowly. "0 Correspondence of the Carolinian. YoaxvLLE, Oct. 4. L have merely tineo drop you a line in rela tion to the demonstration at King's Mountain to-day.. On our arrival at the ground, we found a large concourse of porsons from this and our sinter State of North-Carolina. The assemblage at.the commeneeint of the exercises was us.. Limated at'rom eightlo fifteen thousand, and all seeiiied anitated by the spirit of the occasion. i The' military, consisting of the Paliimetto Guards, and delegations from the Washington Light Infantry, and Charleston Riflemen, of Charleston. a detachment: of-the Artilefy Com pany of Edgefield, the RichlandVolunteer Rifle Company; Columbia. Artiliery, and the Color guard of the Carolin Blues of your city, an In fantry Company from Chester, and the Yorkville Cadets, were for liy-Cipt. Johnston of the Charleston ,Rfiei n, acting Adjutant of the day, and went th'oh sundry evolutions under tflb command of- Majr'orleighan of the-Inde pendent-Battalion.o our city. They were re viewed by Col. M3eorj.le. After the military exercises, a pfocession was formed, and marche1d to the stand pyovided for the orator of the occasion. An impressive prayer and one remarkablyappropriate was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Adams of this place. Hon. John S. Preston wasthen introduc ed to the as sembled multitudby Hon. I. D. Witherspoon of this district. Cl. Preston was received with elk-hearty cheerm from -his aulitory, and the grand old. mountain re-echoed the welcome to the-descendant of one whose noble deeds on that halflowed spot gave new !ife to those gallant spirits who were struggling for the liberties of theircountry. There were few on that grotnd who did not catch some of the inspiration of the occasion, or who did not feel amply compensated for the toil of the journey thither. It.would be folly for me to attempt to furnish you with any'abstraet of the eloquent discourse of the distinguished and gifted orator. Your readers know-him too well not to -feel assured that he did justice. to his glorious theme. For genuine heart-reaehing. and heart-stirring elo 'quenes,,we have rarely,'.if ever, listened to a more successful effort. He enchained and ven raptured his audience for over two hours, now with his glowing and des-riadve eloquence, and anon with his beautiful imagery, his chaste and truthful groupings of the noble spirits who led their countrymeu to vietory. Distinguished a3 Col. Preston has been for' his previous efforts and I have heard zany of them-this, I must say, was his best. .It is needless.fo say that his address was well received ; the ringing cheers and thundering ap. plause with which'he was frequently interruoted gave abundant eaidepee that he had carried the hearts of that vist'assetablage who stood before him. Col. Preston%:was followed by Mr. Bancroft, who, in the remarks he made, paid a very hand some cotmoliment-to South Carolina. He was well received byihe audience, and I am sure was highly gratified withsthe spectacle before him a host of freeman) assembled to worship at an alter of liberty erected by God himself, and con secrated by the,blood of their fathers. On the platform we observed the venerable W. C. Preston, Hun. James L. Orr, our imme diate representative Hon. W. W. Boyce, and other invited-guests, who had come to honor the occasion. I was informed the dinner was boun tiful, consisting or everything that was good, and elegantly prepared. I regret to safy that- the enjoymrnt of the day was clouded by a.serious accident which befel a member of the Columbia Artillery, Mir. Sidney Clifton. The Coliiany was iring a salute after Col. Preston's- oration, when air. Clifton was loadingone of thaguns, it-from sonme cause was prematurely disaugrged, shattering his arm and burning him very severely. He was immediate ly conveyed to th/Company's quarters, and was attended by Dr.'Pbwell of your city, and, 1 be lieve, Dr. Bratton of this plnce, and Dr. Mletts of Union. The arm-had to be amputated.

The clebra.tion winds np by a ball, to be giv en to-morrow evening-not forgetting a hand some entertainmednt to be providet for their via. iing brethren by the members ot the pre~s in this town. Yorkville and the District have acted well their part in this datriotic demonstration, and your forespondent has many acknowledgments to make to them for thoir courtesy, attention and hospitality. THE YELLOW l!EVEB. NotFol.K, Sept. 28. Affairs are beginning to bear a brighter aspect. A few stores are now opent. A greater number of persons appear on the streets, and occasion ally you observe -a smiling countenance. The picture presented is sufficiently dreary now, but to one secustomed to visit Norfolk during the last month it is truly cheering. A want of victims is the prinei~pal agent in producing this desirable change. Such is the opinion of Dr. Ravnell and other Southern physicians with whom I have conversed. They thi~ak the disease has lost little of its malignancy, and should the absent citizens of Norfolk imprudently return, a repeitition of this month's scenes mtay be antici pated. SIZE 07 THE RUssuAN FLEET DEsTROYED AT SvAsoroL.--According to the ('ourier des Etats Unis, the Russia' flag counted at Sevas topol, in the month' or September, 1854, seven teen ships. 5 of 120 guns, the remainder of 84 guns; four frigates of sixty guns; four enrvet. tea or brigs; twelve steamships; and eighty-two ships of interior rank;t in all 108 ships, carrying 2,200 guns. This 'colossal armametnt was des. troyed by the Russians themselves, to prevent it from falling into the hands of their enemies. MiORTALITr AMONG THE PurscIoAs.--Of the eighty-two physicians who went to succor the people of Norfolk and Portsmouth, nineteen have died: nearly one fourth! KENTUCKY CosFREazeE.-The Danville Tri butte, ot 27th inst., says: The Kentucky conference of the Miethodist Episcopal Church South commenced its thirty fifth annual sessioti in this place on Wednesday mriing last. The deliberations of the confer ence are presided over by Bishop Paine, who seems to possess in. .an eminent degree all the requisite qualifications .of the presiding office. Bishop Kavainaugh Is also int attendance. The number of members Is between seventy and one hundred, embracing many of the oldest and ablest exponenta of Mfeth,,dism in the West. To EEEP POTTtES FROM FaosT.-If you have not a convenient store-place for them, dig a treanch three or four feet deep, into which they are to be laid as they are taken up, and then covered with the earth taken out of the trench, raised up in the middle like the roof of a house and covered with straw, to carry off the raini. They will be thus preserved fross the frost, and can be taken, up as they arc wanted. A female, a Boston: milliner, who came pa.. senger in the America, was detected on Friday night smuggling laces, &c. A portion of the smuggled goods were found sewed up in one of her under garments. IT is stated thtat a treaty has just been con luded between the siandwich islands and the United States, establishing reciprocal free trade in all products of the two countries. Ox the 13th nIt., thirteen negroes, at Leavens worth, So. Ca., picked out 2,355 pounds of clean cotton in one day. They started and stopped with the sun, and two hours to rest at noon. THE new Court House at Greenville is said to be one of the finest in the State, and will be completed in time for the holding of October ut. From the Washington Union. . XORE THAN THY 3A30AINED 1O3 Our readers are already aware that a endtrse of lectures on slavery is to be delivered during the ensuing winter Il Boston, which, we.believe has been part of the regular.amusements of that. city for a number of years pant. With the view of attracting more than the customary share of public attention towards th-se systengarized ef forts of fanaticism,- invitations to lecture have been extended to reveral distinguished states men, whose views on the constitutional question of slavery are known to be pre-eminently sound and unyielding. We have already published the Iommenably brief reply of Senator Donguls, in which thnt gent leman takes the wisely liberal and patriotic stand that as a citizen of a non slaveholding State he had no right to interfere with the constitutional domestic institutions of a sister State. A similar invitation was extend. ed to Senatnr Butler, of South Carolina, -but a similar deelension was not received-much to th3 surprise, we doubt not, of the committee on invitations. Unlike Mr. Douglas, Mr. Butler is a citizen of a State where slavery is a long es tablished and' universally recognised institution. He is not only willing to teet in person the is sues raised by the abolitionists, but he Is pre pared to raise others which we presume. they will have no relish for discussing. lie says in his reply: ".As you request it, I will indicate the general topics upon which I will speak, should I deliver the lecture in Boston. "First, That whilst the Slates were colonies, slavery was introduced and allowed without dis tinetion of section, and that then, by the comity of these political communities, the rendition of fugitive slaves was more certain than now under the provisions of the federal constitution. " Second, That when federal authority under the old federation assumed jurisdiction over the subject, and the introduction of slaves was pro. hihited, it was done by the votes of northern and southern members, without distinelion of section. " Third, That when the slave trade was open. ed by the authority of the present constitution, the measure was sanctioned by votes North and South, without distinction of section. ."Fourth, That this trade, from 1790 to 1808, was carried on in northern vessels and by north ern slave merchants, and that they mainly derived the profits of it. " Fifth,-That these slares were captured by northern adventurers, mostly by violence. or fraudulent seduction, and were sold to the south ern planter for a fair consideration. "Sixth, That these slaves came to the south ern planter as ignorant barbarians, and by his tutelage they have been converted into useful and intelligent laborers. "Seventh, That by the gradual- improvement of their condition they are well fed and clothed. "-Eighth, That the three and a half millions of slaves introduced directly or indirectly by the North could not be set free without consequences detrimental to both sections. "Ninth, That in a fair account between the sections, the North has been a gainer by the use of slave labor. These topics would take up a good deal of time, and of course I would reserve the liberty of amplifying or of adding others to them. "Very respectfully, your obed't serv't, "A. P. BUTLER. "JAMSES W. STONE, M. D." SPAIN AND TlE ALLIEs.-T.he Spanish corres pondent of the New York Times writes that the project for bringing Spain into the alliance against Russia is at an end, He says that the people of Spain are against it, and that Generatl Espartero has decided to go with the people. This is an imnportatnt step, if it proves to be well founded; anid the T1imnes is inclined to credit it, from the confident tune with whticht it is announced by its errespondent. AAnAm BANE.-Thcre was a rumor in town yesterday that the Atlanta Batik had failed. We understitnd two gentlemena passed through this city on Wedsaesda'y, on their return to Uni cago. They had taken to Atlanta and Griflin about one hundred thousand dollars of the notes issued by the banks in both cities. The amont on the Bank of Griffin was promptly redeemed in specie. Bdt a small portion of the Atlanta B-mk bills were redeemed and they left the remnaiinder, under protest, in the hands of an Atorny.-Augusta Constitutionalist. WHIEAr.-The large croap of wheat made, with ite inducements offered by buyers, hats caused many thousand bushels to change hands recently in thtis and Anaderson districts. The price ranges from $1.15 per bushel. Flour is selling at $6 per barrel. In Charleston, since July last, 320,000 bush els have arrived in that iarket ; besides, ini each week of the same time, thters bas been an aver aged arrival of 1,500 barrels, with perha~ps twice as many eacks of flour. Wheat, of good red quality, is now quoted in Cinarleston at $1.60 per bushel, and flour at 88 per barrel.-Keowee Courier. fHAPPINEss can be tnde quite as well of cheap materials as dear ones.

It is truly a panful and melancholy duty to record the death of one whtose loss will be so eminently felt by hi. numerous friends and relatives, especially the loved stricken wife and childrens, who with pint's resignation mausit submit to the will of an all gracious Providence ; but can never cease la menting their sad bereavement. Altho'ugh his illness was of a protracted and painful nature he bore it with .hob-buke resignation, and met his last cnd with unusual composure. A few days previous to his death all paina ceased; the tread of denth was mde smooth, and he truly died the derath of the righteous. October 8th 1855. gW Lexingtom Telegraph will please copy.
