The Augusta " Constitutionalist," a true ex nent of the dominant feeling in our sister ate over the river, thus talks in the course of review of Gov. JoHNsso's late message: The two topics which have an interest be. nd the limits of our State, and will claim the tention of other States, are those discussed der the.heads of Internal Improvements tate Aid, and Federal Relations. The first ould enlist the enlightened enterprise and co eration of contiguous States, for purposes of utual material advancement-the second pre. nts the whole vital and fundamental question f constitutional rights, and our duty to our wn interest and honor involved in the para. ount question of the day. The Governor deserves the aporobation of ur people, for presenting this question to the hole country, in its true light, and in this for. nal manner recommending the Legislature tc indicate the sincerity of Georgia, and her pled. es to the world in reference to the contingen ies contemplated in the fourth Resolution of he Convention of 1850. Her position, her aims nd.purposes, are set forth with clearness and recision, and the Legislature owes it to the State, and the sister States of the Confederacy to take the action suggested by the message, foi the call of another Convention, should the course of Congress, in the casee contemplated make it necessary. We would have been better pleased with that portion of the message, had it indulged less it anxious deprecation of the consequences that might ensue in case Georgia took the decisive and irrevocable step of calling a conventior *tith a view to "disruption." We should " dc our duty and leave the consequences to God.' Leave it to the North to feel that the rejectior of Kansas, on account of a pro-slavery Consli tu'ion, would be a "fearful ultimatum," but lel not our people be taught to consider that the refusal to stay in a Union that had become thus desecrated and valueless is a"fearful step." Tc fear a position is the initiatory movement to, ward shrinking from it. Long since Win. H Seward declared the conviction, that the Unior was stronger than the institution of slavery When, therefore, he and his coadjutors an mnoving Heaven and earth to bring about a con tingeney, which must compel 'Georgia, in con formity with her declared purpose, to disprove the truth of this insulting boast, let us not cas about to devise other means than the adoptior of the " last resort," for the vindication of Geor gin's honor and consistency. As we read the language of her convention, we understand hei to declare that such Congressional action as it contemplated in the fourth resolution, wouk drive her to the last resort. To temporize after that, and seek grounds for compromising wits indignity, would be tantamount to indorsing the declaration, that the Union is stronger than the institution of slavery. If Kansas be rejected from the Union, on ae. count of her desire to come in as a slave-hold, ing State, Georgia should go out of the Union And so should every Southern State, who feels like her, that such congressional action wonlc be a declaration by the freesoil States, that Uni, on with slave-holding States, was contaminatior and dishonor. Where would be the pride of i Southern State, if it could consent to remair one day in association with them under such ar insult. The Union is not a boon to be prizei at such a price. It is not claimed by the Sout as a boon, at any price, from the hands of hei Northern confederates. It is an association o sovereign States, on equal terms, conferring as much honor and benefit at least, on the North as on the South. T1he moment the Northers States, by combined action in the rejection o Kansas, virtually declare that a Union with slave holding States is at a sacrifice of coniscience anc moralityon their part, the South should be ren' dy to cut loose the bond that unites them. Ii is r bond of consent, of equality, and of fratter nity. When it ceases to be that, it should cease to exist. a Whether aprovision for the call of a Conven. tion youtd be considered by the North in the light of a threat or not, shnuld be a matter o1 supreme indifference to Georgia. She shouli shape her course with sole reference to what she considers due to herself and her Southern sis. ters. The Northern people can think upon il aind act in reference.e to it to suit their own views of propjriety. That concerns them more that us. FOUR DAYS EATER FROX EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF STEAMER ARAGO. The Arago arrived at New York Tuesday af ternoon, at 3 o'clock, with four, days later intel ligence. The Arago left Southampton on the 24th ult. The America reached Liverpool on the 22d ult. Sir William Molesworth, Secretary of State for the Colinies, died on the 22d ult., of a lou gastric fever. Another bread demonstration took place ir Hyde Park, on Sunday, and after a little speechi fying, the people separated. Oae of the .lead era in the affair stated that, during the winter when it would be too cold to assemble in the Piark, the meetings would take place in Smith, tield. The English Parliament has been further pro roguedl to the 11th December. F ~ME CniEA.-Private letters receive( in Paris fronm otficers in the French army state that it is believed that Prince Gortschakoft, see ing no possibility of keeping his communicatior open and regularly receiving supplies, was pre paring to evacuate the Crimea. A private telegraphic deuspatch from Marseilles brings accounts from the Crimea of the 13th The mortar batteries had opened on this last day against the northern forts. The divis'ioms of Infaintry of Gen. d'Autemarre occupied the plateau of Belbek and the French cavalry had advanced to Baider. The array at Eupatoria daily received reinfor. cements. An entire division of French infantry commanded by Gen. Do Fally, and a strong body of English cavalry, landed on the 11th. It was believed that. Gen. Gortsehakoff in, tended to concentrate the forces round Simphe ropol. Private':letters, wvritten by oficeers of the French army, state that the Russians wvill avoid as uch as possible giving battle in or out 01 their intrenched positions. A memorandum of the Danish Circular Let, ter to the Maritime Powers-calling for a Con. gress to consider the questions of the Sound tOnes-is published in the Independence Beige. Denmark insists that the "affair" shall be trea. ted, not as an affair of trade or money, but as a political question. The "Times" annonees that General Simp. son has been recalled. The Herald states that Licut. Ceneral Sir W. Codrington is to be his successor. MEDICA. COLLEGE OF GEouGIA.-The Lee. tures in this Institution was opended on Mon day, 5th inst., at 12 o'clock, by a chaste and practical Introductory from Professor Joseph A. Eve, in the course of which he paid a beautiful and just tribute to the late Dr. Mackie, of this city who fell a martyr to his profession in the epidemic of last year. The whole tenor and sope of the lecture was eminently calculated to produce a cood effect upon the very large lass in atten~ance-much larger .than any pre vious one here. We are glad to see our Col lege open under -tuspices so favorably as at present, and hope still to see large necessions to the present class; for we are confident that it has advantages inferior to none in the South. We have able and experienced Professors, both as teachers and practitioners, and the facilities for teaching are equal to that of any other In stitution of the kind in the country. -Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel. AN old lady who did not know whether her >lantation was in Virginia or North Carolina, found, when the line was drawn, that. she wasa esident of the former. " Wal," said she:"l m glad I don't livo in North Carolina! It was lways such a sickly State." MAYOR WooD, of New York, has recently ent back to one of the German towns four riminals shipped by it to this country. The States and,.seaport towns have abundant au. hority to protect themselves from the importa tion of paupers and crimnals, without the neces it~y of asking aid through the Ktnow Nothing movment. __pjeiarmszer. ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR, EDGEPIELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1855. g TnE Editor is absent this week in Columbia on business of the " Plow." The Spectacles are Coming ! SEE Prof. GEDEoN's advertisement. Let all the blind, weak eyed, and near and far sighted who want new eyes recollect the day (first Monday in December) and be punctual in attendance. The Professor and his Spectacles are highly re commended. HAMBURG HOTELS. THERE are now in Hamburg for the accommoda tion of the transient public and the citizens of that place, two as fine Hotels as any similar Town can boast of. One of these, the " American," with Capt. O. H. P. SCOTT, one of the Proprietorsand general su perintendant of the establishment, is conducted with such a degree of satisfaction to its friends and patrons, that, at this season in particular, it is almost invaria bly crowded. Capt. SCOTT makes a capital land lord, furnishes his table with the best the market affords, and then it is served up in a style that must please the palate of the most fastidious. The " Carolina Hotel," Mrs. CAaoLINE A. GaAY, Proprietor, and Mr. Hiscu GOODWIN, as Manager, is becoming quite popular, and we are told equals the other in every respect. Mr. GooDwIN is very accom dating, strives to make every one perfectly satisfied, and can, for the amausement of friends, spin out as exagerated and laughable a yarn as the next one. With a little more experience, he will make what might be termed a real "jolly landlord." Both of these hotels should be patronized, for they deserve encouragement. EVERETT'S EXHIBITION. ACCORDING to previous notice, EvERETT, the re nowned American Magician, together with his tal ented Otmpany, performed in our Town on Monday and Tuesday nights. We attended the first evening, but cannot say that we were highly pleased or that we observed anything strikingly wonderful. We sup. pose though our anticipations were somewhat exalted, and perhaps we expected a little too much. And the dense and crowded state of the pavillion prevented us from enjoying the performance as well as we other. wise might have done. Our people were literally starved out for a show, and consequently they attend ed in goodly numbers for ten miles round. Well, as to the performances, old BILLY CRusoN ToN, with his old songs, that he used to sing in olden times, was received with much applause, and sung as usual with great eclat, to the no little amusement of all. May this old gentleman bespared for these many years to sing "Four and twenty bachelors all in a row,"-and finally when death overtakes him may he be enabled to find a heavenly resting place from which he may never wish to "Push along, keep moving." EvEaETT, did two or three tricks admirably. It was manifest though that he was somewhat irritated by the annoyance of a few in attendance. The little girls done as well as could have been ex pected, inasmuch as they were both suffering from severe cold. WRAY, the bandjo picker, sung two or three songs, played one or two se los, or something else, and clearly exhibited to the audience that he has some " music in his soul," as well as in his old banjo. Blut the Band--Jehu ! what a croaking. Howefer, taking it all in all, to use a Yankee phrase, we " guess" the Exhibition will do tolerable well, and is perhape worth a half dollar now and then. A RARE CHANCE. Ic will be seen by examing another column, that Cul. LALL.ERsTEDT, of Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., intends closing up hIs business, and therefore offers .his large and varied selection of splendid Dry Goods at prime cost for cash. Knowlng Col. L as we do, we feel warranted in saying that great- bargains may be obtained by visiting his Store. CNA aLIE GOOD. wn, late of this Village, an~d the other gentlemanly clerks, are always behind the counter ready to do the handsome thing for their customers. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Tu Orangeburg "Southron" uses'the following bold and determined language in r.llusion to the Kan sas difficulty: Let the South then act and speedily.-Let each Southern State Legislature appropriate one hundred thousand dollars to equip anit furnish with a negro each, young men to go and settle in Kansas. Let tihe: Legislature of South Carolina do it. This is a contest: in which the whole 'South is vitally interested, and therefore Jet each Southern State contribute. Let private citizens aid too. The Editors of this paper, as individuals, will contribute onu negro in furtherance of this scheme, and this cause. The South is now engaged in the bitterest and deadliest quarrel which ever menaced her homes and satety. Ins this crisis, let not demagogues administer an opiate to her intellect, and a tonic to her vanity. The " mortil thunder" of Eastern Armies rings out no clearer or louder, than the shout of her fanatic foes. GOING ANY HOW. THE following goes to show that South Carolina will he represented in part next May at Cincinnati. We copy from the Anderson " Gazette." Be the views of Col's. Orr and Keitt, what they may, we feel confident that the Democracy of North Western Carolina, intend to send deleguates to that Concention. It is their right anid their interest to be represented at Cincitnnatta, in May next, and intend to be, whether any other portion of the State is or not. And we can assure friendi Sinpkins, that we intend to send to that Cvnvention good men and true ; men of political honesty and capacity ; men of true South era feeling, and that too unader the express "astipula tion, that fotur principles are compromttled in the least for te purpose 'jsecuring the election of any giwen candidate, our dlgton shall instantly lease tthe body." They will go there, jealous of the rights and honor of the State ; not to support any particular candidate, but to assist in laying down sound princi pes, nominating a sound man for the Presidency, who will enderse those principles; if they fail in this, they will retire from the Convention ; and not feel bound by its action. We would be glad, if the Democracy of the whole State could, with these stipulations, go with us into the next Convention. South Carolina, going into that conv'ention as a unit, would carry mrwegtand have more influence, than any State in the Union. She would strengthen the hands, and nerve the heart of the Democracy in a manner, that would secure the victory in I866. Why shouldl our people not act in this matter, with their brethren of the South ? Are we purer or better than they, or more jealous of Southern Rights, that we should keep out of, or refuse to enter a National Convention with them I Certainl' not. We send delegates to Congress, so do they ; and they there sit and deliberate together ; and no one will say that we are injured bj it. And thus shouhil we act in reference to the nest National Convention. Georgia we consider so sound upon Southern Rights, that we are willing to adopt her re sistance platform and act with her; and why can we, not trust Georgia and the other Soutliern States so tar, as to *ct with them in the next Convention I We ought to do so, and it will he wise in us thus to act. A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. TnE "Carolina Times" labors of late to prove that: President PizacE favors especially the New York Sofis. The " New York Times"ansseverates the very rbverse. The times are assuredly " out of joint." The " Times" of the South, after quoting a passage f om the " Washington Evening Star," thus remarks: "Now, here is authority for asserting that Presi dent Pierce favors the Soft Shells or freesoil Demo-I crats of.New York, if evidence of the fact were wan-c ting. The Star, we warrant, carefully sounded the feelings of the Administration, before inditing the above. It knows too well which side of its bread is buttered to hazard an exposition of the kind without- I some warrant of authority. The Softs, then, are the favorites of the Administration, and the people of South Carolina are counselled to affiliate with them, I and co-op'erate harmoniously with them for the sue ces of the party in 1856" W hereas the " Tilmes" of the North runs on in this way: " Thieposition assumed by the Whig Party, by its merger in the Republican organization, has been re cognized by Messrs..Pierce, Marcy, and Company, as I the only legitimate and proper party of the Union. a By disowning the Soft Shells, as, through the columns E of the Union, the Administration has quite unceremo- ( niously done, the pretence of nationality, the affected. aversion to sectional influences, haVe been discarded, and it is boldly avowedithat their whole hope of sup port and indorsement rests on so much of the Union as lies south of Mason and Dixon's Line. The issue t isdistinctly made. The President has turned his 1. hack on that Northern faction to which he owes his a position ; ignores the existence of any Democratic or gaiainin the Free States, that can contribute maeilyto the decision of the nest Presidential con.-t test; anid looks to the Sottth exclusively for the reward hi hich his self-immolation in beh:-Irof Slavery certain- gj y merits there, if anywhere. The varions factions - I tanding between the conservative Republicans on I he one hand, anil the revoittionary faction gathered " abot tea AdmrinistratIon on the oter arn e ecleared - by the latter to be hostile to the South, and, of course unworthy of the countenance or recognition of those whom they are so willing, and even indecently anxioni to serve. The Democratic party of the future is tl:e Dne which guarantees Slavery. There can be n< neutrality." THE FEELING ELSEWHERE. Ta Columbus (Ga.) " Times," one of the moss pirited papers of the South, thus alludes to our receni uggestions as to preparing for the Cincinnatti Conven Lion: We hope the compromise of the Advertiser will be accepted. The Georgia delegates will be speciall] nstructed to insist upon an endorsementof the Nobras a Kansas act and of the fugitive slave law as a pre iminary to co-operation on their part with the Nation it Democracy. Cannot South Carolina follow suit? She has stood aloof too long already and weakened her influence by her supposed haughtiness and sell sonceit. It must now be evident that if the Union is aved, and the rights of the South are protected in the nion, the National Democracy is the only party which as the will and power to do the work. It is, there, 'ore, the duty of every Southern State to strengther he Democratic party and at the samq time to purify ,t by the infusion of sound men and the expulsion o masound men from its bosom. )ALCULATING THE VALUE OF THE UNION Tts following, from the " Newberry Mirror,' nreathes the right spirit and puts a case which the 'Union praisers in South Carolina" will indeed find t hard to get over. WAuiSoroa's Farewell Ad Iress may possibly clear away the difficulty; but we oust be allowed to doubt until the "Patriot" tells as how. The " Mirror" says: Some articles have recently ippeared in the New York Journal of Commerce, upon the benefits of the Union to the North and South, respectively. The articles are republished in DeBow'. Review with the approbation of its editor. Is the rllowing statement, which we copy, corr.-ct ? " The South has been burdened with an unequal taxation for the support of the Federal Government, which has been a source of thrift to the North, from which it would be measureably relieved (by separa Lion.) For example from 1791 till 1845, the principal receipts of revenue at the Custom houses of the United States amounted to $927,050,067, of which the slave States paid $711,200,000, and the free States $215, 350,097. We will take a period of four years, from 1833 to 1837, and the figures of Mr. Woodbury, to ex plain in what manner the public money is expended relatively in the two sections. The free States re eeived $65,000,000, and the slave States only $32,000, 300, while the latter contributed 890,000,000 to the reasury, and the former but $17,500,000." From this it follows: that the South pays to the mupport of the Government three or four times al much as the North, white it receives in disbursements less than half of what the North receives; and that the North receives three or four times as much as it pays. The burden of the Government therefore fallh not partly but exclusively upon the South, the Norti not only enjoying the benefits of the Government, bul eing a clear gainer, pecuniarily, to more than three times the amount it pays. If these facts are correct, and they stand uncontradic. ted in newspapers of the highestauthority in the country here was never u pon earth a huger swindling conceri than the Federal Government. We invite the attention to these figurps of the voci. rerous Union praisers in South Carolina. There is >ne Editor who refers to the Farewell Address of Washington to prove the great benefits and blessings if the Union, in about every other number of his pa, per. By showing these figures to be false, or by ex plaining them, tie will make a more pertinent argument For the Union, than by diggig in the dry bones and tosil remains of antiquity, in the shape of farewell addresses, or other antiquated documents. Election of Mayor. AT an election recently held in Charleston foi Mayor and Aldermen of that City, we learn that Wu Pocita MiLEs, Esq., the Anti-Know Nothing Can.

Prof. Gedeon has accomplished these two great principles by manufacturing his Glasses out of Scotch Pebble, the only substance analogous to ra the humors of the eye, and has constructed them ,5, in accordance with the Philosophy of Nature, in ct the peculiar form of a Concave Convex Mirror. to These Spectacles enables persons of weak eye. at sight to pursue the most minute employment, either s- by day or candle light, never causing that unplens or ant sensation of giddiness or ' Drawing of the Eyes" 1 that is produced by the common Glasses. The he Frames are likewise so constructed that the rays of sh light may be directed through the centre of the be Glasses, to unite correetly upon the retina, and form it perfect picture of the object. me Added to the advantages possessed by him of n- long practice in the Eye Infirmaries and under one ,w of the most eminent Oculists, by which he has oh. ob tained a thorough knowledge of the diseases of via ion, he has in his possession documents from indi u- viduals of rank, conveyintg the highest testimoini us als ot appro.bation. ri- HOXE TESTIMONIALS. irJg Man.

His explanatlion of its advantages, is in uis accordlance with pthitosophic principles, and so far as ed I inhve examined thme subject, meets, my approval.
