ENGLAND aND T uE u1ium I!A s,
The bubble of the recent war rumors has ex
ploded somewhat sooner, qpd with 'a somewhat
more unmistakable sound of the collapsing bub
ble, than we had anticipated; though we suppo
sed from the first, that the idea of war with Eng
land, frjn any cause of difference now existing,
was a mere chimera. But we have now before
us the evidence that the whole thing, from be
gbiing to end, is a fabrication, the object of
whih has apparently been to influende the mar
kets,like the famous story of the capture of
Sebastopol a year ago. It has had its effects,
and some speculators made a handsome profit
by the panic in Liverpool reported by the last
steamer.
The National Intelligencer of Tuesday failed
to reach us, but that paper of Wednesday has
the following significant paragraph :
" In our brief pars ph of yesterday, referring
to recent correspondence between the Govern.
of the United States and that of Great Britain,
it was inadvertently stated that the latter had
not replied to the request to make known defi
nitely its construction of the Clayton. Bulwer
Treaty. The reverse is the fact. The British
Government has made a reply, agreeing to the
construction of our Government and submitting
a different construction, but leaving the question
open for further negotiations. The correspon
dence has not been angry or unfriendly in its
tone on either side. Indeed, from the urbanity
and courtesy which is known to characterize the
parties entrusted with it, no harshness or diplo
matic impropriety could have been expected.
This disposes of the Central American ques
tion very quietly, and very much to the taste of
all reasonable people. The cats and rats-the
Kinneys and Walkers, and their Spanish equiva
lents, may make prey of that miserable region,
but the lions and eagles will not quarrel over
such ignoble spoil.
In the Washington Union of the same date,
we find a still more comprehensive declaration,
evidently coming from an official source. At
the conclusion of a long article discussing the
motives that could have led to the recent very
stupid and malicious demonstrations of the Lon
don press, the Union uses the following decisive
language :
" Whichever of these various conjectures as
to the object of the proposed expedition is cor
rect-if any such expedition there be, which is
in itself very doubtful-in every view of the
subject, it contains nothing which ought in the
least to trouble the equanimity of this country,
or which threatens in the slightest degree the
public peace. We are satisfied, upon such in
quiry as we have been able to matce, that no
cause, inducement, or plausible pretext of war,
or even of serious misunderstanding, can be
found in any. question now pending between
the two countries, and that, therefore, no appre
hension on the subject need be entertained by
the friends of peace, either in Great Britain or in
the United States."
So ends the farce, which has, however, been
not exactly a farce to a portion of the merchants
of the two countries.
The laughs will be very discordant in Liver
pool, at least. In this country the effect has
been trifling. But there is one grave lesson to
be learned from it, which is worth remembering.
The first news of a possible war with the Uni
ted States reversed and disordered the Liverpool
markets.. What would be the reality of such
an event ? There has never existed before so
great a trade between two nations as that which
is now carried on between England and the
United States. To break it up by a war, would
be to' tear asunder the main life-currents of both
countries. Fifty millions of people would in
stantly feel, by the mere fact of war, without
retbrence to the ravages of actual violence, that,
the value of all their property had suffired de
preciation-that a blight ha~d fallen on the earth
--that the ground was cursed for their sake.
Coinpared with this, the licensed robbery of the
seas, the plunder and burning of cities, and the
deadly collision of hostile fleets and armies,
would bie small calamities. For the working of
such woes to humanity, we ought to have a
great and noble justification; one which would
*net only satisfy the passions of the present, but
.the calmn and severe judgment of posterity.

THE SWORD TOCAP'TAIN N. EEE.
-'The following correspondee between Capt.
Bernard E. Bee, and his Excellency Gov. Adams
explains itself. The gift on the part of the
State was richly deserved by the gallantry and
abi-lity of this young officer, and we feel sure
that no act of his will ever bring discredit upon
the giver or tho receiver of the soldierly token.
CARLrst.E BARRACKs, PA., Sept. 15th, 1855.
To his Excellency the GJocernor of the State of
South Carolina:
'Sir: I find myself the recipient of a magnifi
cent sword, the gift of my native State. No
offiial presentation has tiken place; but my
feeliugs of gratitude will not allow me to re
mairi silent. To you, then, sir, as Chief Magis
trate of the State, and through you, to her Legis
lature, and her citizens, I return my thanks.
With a deep sense of my own humble servi
ces, but with a proud hope, and a firm deter
mination, so to pursue my chosen walk of life
that no shadow, no breath of shame may ever
sully the purity of this sword of honor.
I respectfully subscribe myself, your most
obedient servant, BERNARD E. BEE,
Captain U. S. Army.
ExEcUTtvE DEPAIITMENT, Cor.uaMtA, S. C.
September 28, 1855.
Capt. Bernard E. Bee, U. S. A.
Sma: I have just received your letter of the
15th instant, acknowledging the receipt of a
"magnificent sword, the gift of my (your) native
State." I had supposed that my predecessor
would have transmitted to you, along with the
sword, au oficeial communication. The omission
has been purely accidentai.
TIte sword was procured and has been pre
sented to you in compliance with the followving
resolutions. passed by the General Assembly on
the 15th of December, 1853:
Resol red, That this General Assembly highly
appreciates the patriotic and meritorious con
duct of her gallant son, Brevet Capt. Bern'ard
E. Bee, of the U. S. Army, as displayed in the
engagements of Palo Alto, Resaca de Ia Palma,
Vera Cruz, Cerro Cordo, Contreas, Churubusco,
Chapultepec, and the City of Mexico.
Resolced, That his Excellency the Governor
be requested to provide a suitable sword, and
p:esent the same on behalf of the State, as a
testimonial of its estimation of that distinguish
ed officer.
I am pleased to be the organ'of communica
ting this evidence of the high appreciation of
your native State. I have no doubt that, on all
occasions i the future, your conduct will entire
y justify the confidence of the State which thus
renders honor to a favorite son.
I am, with high consideration, your ob'dt serv't.
-Governor of South Carolina.
SAvANNAH VALLrEY RAHLROAD.-A conven
tion of the stockholders in the Savannah Valley
Railroad Company was held at Anderson C. H.
on Wednesday, to consider the present condi
tion and future prospects of their road, and to
determine the course proper to be pursued so as
to secure its construction. After the meeting
was orgbnized for business, a committee was
appointed to report upon the various matters for
the consideration of which the convention was
ealed. This committee reported -in substance
that the road could only be built by abandoning
the scheme of connecting with Hamburg, and by
crossing the Savannah river at' Bullsluice and
connecting with the South Carolina Railroad at
Augusta. This report was adopted. To enable
the company to make this crossing and connec
tion, it was resolved to memorialize the Legisla
ture of this State to amend the charter.
Upon the adoption of the report and resolu
tions accompanying it, thoses-representing the
stock taken by citizens of Hamburg and of a
portion of Edgefield District, protested against
the action of the conventioni and withdrew from
all articipation in its proceedings.

THE IMP IN THE CHAIR.
"EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY."
TuE season has rolled'around when it becomes our
lot occasionally to squat down upon the chair editorial.
We appear this morning before you, gentle reader, for
the first time this winter. We promise nothing, pro
ferring that our acts should show, &c.,&c.,-you know
the rest. We believe it was Catu, the censor, who,
when attacked at a tea party, by Astyages of Persia,
on the score of his baldness, indignantly replied in his
broad vernacular-" E naihilo naihil ft." The same
thing may be said of us in thecourse of our labors. In
fact, we expect it. But, like Phedrus the son of Can
ute, we will go on our way rejoicing, utterly regard.
less of the slings and arrows of outrageous fools.
FINE APPLES.
Ta following handsome note was politely sent into
the " Advertiser Office," a few days ago, by Ma.
CRANE, of FRAZIEa's Store. The apple accompany
ing it was large enough for as all, and as red and as
beautiful as the eye could desire. Thanks to Mr. C.
His note is given as a model for others, who may find
it in their hearts to remember the Printer:
Please ace' pt a North Carolina Apple, where the
Soil must have been equal to that of the Garden of
Eden. Circumference 141 inches, weight 21 os.
Respectfully, Yours,
D. A. C.
TO DELINQUENTS.
IT will be seen in a card elsewhere that the Pro
prietors are calling on you to come forward and settle
up; and in our humble opinion we think every one of
you should do it, for if that article "Money" aint
scarce about this Establishment, then we are nigAtly
mistaken. Why, to tell the honest truth, (what some
Editors never do,) we have not seen a ten cent piece,
our weekly wages, for lo! these many days. And we
can truthfully exclaim, in the refined language of
Newton, the poet:
" It has been so long since we saw a dollar,
We would not know one from a horse collar."
NOTICE, HUNTSMEN I
The shade of Nimrod has appeared to us in a dream.
He swears that he will henceforward blast the. luck of
all huntsmen who run half-grown Foxes, or who catch
Partridges in traps. They are equally henous offences
against the laws of true sport.
VALUABLE RECEIPE.
At the particular request of our sweetheart, and for
the preservation of an article we are wofully fond of,
we present our lady friends with the following very
valuable receipe. We hope some kind matron will
try it on a couple of jars, and if it proves good, send
us a jar in part payment for this piece of information:
To KEEP PaREsatVEs.-Apply the white of an egg,
with a suitable brush to a single tbickness of white
tissue paper, with which cover the jars, overlapping
the edges an inch or two. When dry, the whole will
become as tight as a drum.
THE WEEIL.
This'is the third week of November 1855; and we
fid ourself without a stiver in our vest-pocket prepar
atory to the approaching Christmas holidays. The
circumstance naturally suggests the enquiry, wvhether
or not we shall be caught thus penniless on the third
week of Nfovember 1856.
THlE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
To.day, we are informed, the last brick has been
placed upon the highes:, and best building ever erect
ed at Edgefield C. H. We mean the Odd Fellows
and Masonic Associational Structure. (When we
write, we cannot confine ourself to common terms.)
We regret to hear thr~t some of the subscribers are so
mirerably slow in giving their obligations to the Asso
ciation for the balance of their subscriptions. Can it
be, that repudiation is to be the order of the day in old
Edgefield ? " Get away, vile thought !"
-40*W
COTTON.
Muon has been said of the probable prices of this
article. Our opinion is, that every body ought to sell
at 8 cens-better t'ais, certainly, than the chance of
much less. We have a pound and a half saved out of
sundry egg bakets, and rather than wait till npring
we will take an even dame for the lot.
OUR BUTCHER SLIGHTLY TAKEN.
A rmw evening. since we heard a gentleman accost
GooDMNa, our energetic butcher, w hto has so strenu
ously endeavored to keep us from starving during the
past summer, with the following question, " Hello,
Bill ! If a pound of beef coat ten cents, how many
teeth is there in a handsaw 1" He gave it up immedi
ately. But his invincible assistants, Pete Murrel and
Pate Blocker, when we left, were multiplying the age
of the last beef they killed, (which they said wasn 23
year. old,) by the number of hairs in his tail, to find
the answer. We have not heard the result yet.
PRECOCIOUS.
A remarkable instance of childish sprightliness oc
curred in this vicinity on Saturday last. The litdle
boy's name was Ned this time. A bird flew in at the
window, whereupon his mother exclaimed, " Looli
Neddy at the pretty little birdy." And Neddy did
look, and was delighted. How simply beautiful, and
beautifully simple !

We call attention to the new Coach line, to be start
ed between this place and Columbia, by Capt. WARD.
See the notice elsewhere. Every one who wishes, can
now go to Columbia, to see our Legislature and hear
our Legislators. Let us all take a turn. Two lines

What a lIttle Nigger seed in Hamburg.
A little nigger was employed recently to dtive beef
cattle from the up-country to Hamburg; and on his
return home his mamnmy asked him what he had seen
in town. " Why mammy," said he "I seed a little
house' ketch afire and run off'as hard as it cotuld.
Then five or six other little houses tuk right after it to
put it out, but I do 'speck its burnt up by now for they
did'nt overtake it while I was thar.-And I seed jest
as fne a house as Miss Nancy's swimmin' about in the
river."
Pirst Rate Shooting.
.' note has just dropped in from the Saluda side in
forming us that a gentleman near Mt. Willing killed
seventeen partidges the other day in seventeen suc
cessive shots, single birds, and all on the wing.
The shooting gentry are challenged to beat this.

Likely Negroes ter Sale.

This advertisement should have been published last
week, but was unfortunately misplaced.

" I'in mourning over departed spirits," as the fellow
said, just after Court week, whilst standing over g
empty whiskey barrel, near the Post Office.
A Deplorable Accident, Almost.
A 1KW days ago as we were quietly wending our
may towards our peaceful domicil, we heard a tre
mendous noise In the rear, and looking round observed
a young friend on a very obstropulous mule, and the
mule was evidently running away. The young man
was very much frightened, and it was evident to us
that he would get hurt, if we did not stop the mule.
So we run out into the road, hollered " wo," the mule
stopped, and our friend was saved. Miraculous es
Apologette.
Owing to the late hour that we were Informed by
the Colonel that he could not prepare any thing for us
this week in consequence of pressing business in the
Commissioner's Office, we were unable to give our
paragraphs that attention which they required. How
ever they are good enough. We may do better the
FOUND DEAD.
A FRIEND living nearuClaryton, in this District, has
kindly furnished us wIth the following mournful in
telligence :
Ma. EDITOR:-On the -11th inst., -Mr. CULLEN
O'NEALL was found dead near Mr. LuxE HAViaD'S,
on the Columbia Road, in this District. The deceased
left Mr.-JAs. M. AsaNEY's the evening previous some
what intoxicated, and, as above stated, was found
the next morning, near the road side, dead ! The.
finding of the Juries' inquest was, that.hecame to his
death by Strangulation produced by intoxication.
For the Advertiser.
Ma. EDITOR: It is not our custom to write for the
papers; but we 'think if there ever was a time when
men should express their views publicly and freely,
now is the time.
We are well pleased with the article, of your worthy
correspondent, "LUDtuAtsTKR," which appeared in
the Advertiser sometime ago; and can readily assent
to his remarks upon the hard lot of the school-master.
To use the metaphor of your correspondent, we have
been harnessed to the same locomotive for several
years, and begin to feel very much like running off
the track. The vocation of a teacher is far from be
ing pleasant, remunerative or honorable. He is the
constant victim of liars, slanderers, tale-bearers and
every other class of persons, who have nothing else
to do, but to meddle with other people's business. He
tries to please everybody-Can he do it! Impossible!
He will miss it as far as the old man and his son and
darkey did in the Grecian fable. One is displeased
because the teacher spares the rod. Another thinks
" Young America" should rule instead of being ruled,
therefore, his children must not be whipped. Another
says he commences too late and dismisses too early.
Another is dissatisfied because his children do not re
cite lessons enough during the day; he judges .their
progress by the number of leaves they turn. Others
assume to themselves the title of "Connoisseurs," and
endeavor to set themselves up as standards to be gov.
erned by, and of course they are displeased if the
teacher does not follow their different plans of teach.
ing. We might point out a great many more frivolous
objections that are raised against the School-master,
but we forbear, because, if we could point out all the
whims, notions, caprices, plans, &c., in regard to school
teaching, and apply the rule .of addition to them, the
sum total would be a heterogeneous mass of nonsense.
To conclude this part of our subject, we do desire to
see teachers occupy that position which their merits
deserve.
We will new say something in regard to the Free
School System. It seems to us that writers uponthis
subject, have overlooked the true cause of so many of
the poor class being uneducated in South Carolina.
They say it is the lack of money. Not so. This only
acts as a remote cause by diminishing the number of
Schools. It is the Teachers tt at suffer most from the
close-fistedness of the Legislature. We know of no
instance where any Teacher has excluded an indig.
ent pupil, because the public would not pay his tuition.
Ask the pror parent why he does not send his children
to School, and you will learn the cause immediately.
His reply wilt be, " I can't fix my children of to
School like my neighbor. I have no dour, nor no good
clothes for them, and. if I send them to school in this
condition, the finger of scorn will be pointed at them."
The Legislature may appropriate millions of dollars to
educate the poor; but so long as this false delicacy,
or selfish pride exists in the bosom of parents, they will
not be educated.
Ilow is this to be remedied I lst. We know of no
better plan than to enact a law compelling every man,
who is not able to educate his children, to send them
to School at a certain age, and keep them there a cer
tan length of time. 2d. Let our Commissioners be
educateasmen, capable of carrying Teachers through
a thorought examination, and let them Iho paid for their
services. 3d. Let every Teacher undergo a thorough
examination, (net merely a form as is now the case,)
before be can receive a dollar from the public. And
lastly, let our Legislature appropriate money sufficient
to pay the Tuition, (paid by the citizens,) of every
Orphan and indigent child in South Carolina.
We have thus briefiy noticed the Free School Sfs
te, and hope to hear the opinions of othters upon thtis
subject.
THE LUTHERAN SYsoD.--This body convened
at Bethlehem chureh, in this district, on Thurs
day last, The attendance of mniniitery' and lay.
mn was large. Great unanimity and ir~terest was
manifested in the proceedings of the Synod.
The subject of grreatest importattce, and elinm
ing the largest share of the attention of the
Synod, was the removal of their Literary. and
Theological Institutiotts frotn Lexington to
some more favorable location. Propositions
were made by different plitces, the more promi
nent of which were Newberry.Court H-ouse and
Walhalla, in Pickens District. Mucht animation
was manifested by the friends of each location
-each being desIrous of secturing the college.
The debate on the subject of location was com-.
mened on Monday morning, and tup to the titme
of going to press no vote had been taken. .A
proposition was made to rescind the resolution
of the last meeting, as to the removial of the
institution, and thatt it should remain at Lex
ington; but, fromt appearance', we thittk this
proposition would meet with but little favor.
The friends of Newberry are very sanguine of
success.
We were unable to learn the particulars of
the other business transacted by the Synod, but
hope they will be furnished us in time for the
next issue.
We stop the press to announce that Newber
ry has been fixed upon as the location for the
Lutheran College.-Newberry Mirror.
DISGRACEFUL. RloT.--The Bath (Maine) Tfr
bue gives an account of a most disgraceful riot,
which occurred in that city ott Sunday, the day
previous it appears thtat the Catholics attempted
to lay the corner stone of it new church but
wer interrupted by a mob which ptt a atop to
the services by acts of violence. The Tribune
says:.
During the forenoon a Wooden cross, which
had been erected was forcibly pulled down.
Early in the afternoon an American flag was
raised amid the cheering of a considerable num
ber of persona who showed themselves hostile
to the exercises and the occasion. Mir. Russell,
acting Mayor, pulled the flag down amid shouts
of "hustle him out" and hisses. But on his
leaving it was again put up. A rush was made
for the corner stone which had been prevtously
laid and several attempts made to remove it
from it's setting, which was prevented, as we
learn, by the exertions of Marshal Walker and
Mr. Constable Leach, who kept the crowd at
bay. The Catholies, finding they would be op
posed in their exercises, quietly withdrew and
left the lawless mob in possession of the field.
No attempt that we hear of was made to arrest
any of the disturbers of the peace up to four
o'clock.
At about five o'clock, the crowd, having ac
complished their objects and prevented the reli
gious exercises, gradually dispersed. Seeing
the temper of the people, the Bishop sent word
to. his parish that the exercises would not be
We blush to think that in this city of church
.es and law and order the Sabbath should be
broken by such acetnes of lawlessness and vio
lence. We are mortified that a few low and
irresponsible persons should be permitted to
again blacken the character .of our city, and
think themselves upheld by a majority of its
voters.
IMORTANT DECsio.-As a consequence of
the decision by Attorney-General Cushing that
debtors to the Untted States are not absolved
from their liabilities to the government by the
operation of the Bankrupt act, writs of execu
tion have been issued against certain merchants
in the city of New York, to satisfy judgments
obtained against them in the United States courts.
The question of the accuracy of this decision
will be made judicially, and if sustained, will, it
is supposed, open a wide field for litigation.
As old soaker in Boston, being found in the
gutter on a rainy night, the water making a clear

TnE Placerville (Caifornia) American pub
lishes a letter from Orson Hyde, of Carson Val. I
ley, in which he says: " I learn by private let t
ter, that in Provo, a town fifty miles south of <
Salt Lake City, where the wheat crop was most- 1
ly destroyed by grasshoppers, that a honey dew I
had fallen so Lountifully. on the small cotton
woods along the river. banks that the citizens
were washing the leaves and boiling the syrup
into sugar. One person will make ten pounds
of beautiful sugar in:a day. This would bring
$4 in ordinary times. The people there depend
on their wheat to get groceries; but when the
wheat failed, sugar ,fell from heaven. In case
of an entire failure of crops, it looks as though
we might almost get manna, if not quite. The I
honey dew approximates very near to it. And
this be our motto: "In God be our trust."
DIFFICULTY wIH SWtERLANID.-The New
York correspondent of the National Intelligen
cer refers to the dificulty with' Switzerland in
the following terms:
"I referred recently to a ease in which Dlr. i
Fay, our Minister to Switzerland, had calledI
upon the Council of that Confederation for their
reason in refusing to allow an adopted citizen of
the United btates to reside at Basle, and we
have now their partial answer to the inquiry. I
They may that the individual in question having
been exiled on account of certain political crime',
the Government approves the conduct of the
police, because, "by his becoming z, citizen of
the United States, he has not lost his quality of
fugitive in regard tohia former fatherland, and
hence the former resolutions of the Government 1
still apply to him." They. also say that the 1
acquisition of a new citizenship is used by many
fugitives, not as an end, but merely as a means
of re-entering their former position under the
protection of a new.government and continuing
their former . intrigues. Therefore, taking this
view of the matter, the "Bundersath" has deter. I
mined first to inquire more particularly into the
personal qualites and relations of the obnoxious
person, and- reserve its final decision for the
result of these inquiries. In conclusion, they t
observe that the American Minister having con- i
fined himself solely to the desire to learn the I
motives of the proceedings in the case, there
cannot, consequently, in the most remote man
ner, be a question oT international conflict."
SoMETHING OF A CORN Cnor.-George W.
Wells of Mason county, Ky., has a twenty acre
field. or corn' which promises, from what has
been gathered, a yield of one hundred and eigh
ty bushels (ears) per acre. But the funny part d
of the story is that he did not intend to make t
such a crop. The first. planting not coming up
well or looking promising, he replanted between
the rows, and afterwari, not being able to de
cide which rows were best or which to plow up,
as he intended to do i.4li the first planting, he I
let both stand; the .pesent great crop is the
result. It is needless to say that the land is
good.

GTrsrEs.-We hear that there are a number
of these nomadic people in and near Savannah.
They are a strange race, and have been the
theme of more poetic jpomance than any people
on earth. Like manya.other romantie objects
however, "tia distanc, lends enchantment to
the view." Since, howuder, they may shine in
the pages of Scott or Buliver, they are troubled
with a frailty of memory in regard to the owner
ship of property, which makes them not very
desra ble neighbors. We believe they have no
Religion, and their nationality is hidden in deep
obscurity. But wvhether they be as they call
themselves, descendants of the great Egyptian
race which built Memphiis and 'the Pyramids, or
whether they arc the ofsEpring of the wanderers
of Bohemia, one thing-is dertain, they will do0

location of one thousand persons who purpose
emigrating thither from Eastern Virginia this

from Staunton, fifty from Rappahannock, and
the remainder from the same neighborhood. It
is also announced that a large emigration is ex

issued by the French Emperor on the 18th,

an be legally sold in France, and obtain French
registers, upnn payment of a duty of 10 per
cent. upon their value. By the second all ship
building materials can ha imported into Frane
free of duly.
SICK H EAD ACME-A CURE.-Abandon coffee,
spices and tobacco, and live on a nutritious, un
stimulating diet, exercise in the open air, and
keep cheerful. Ilot coffee is a most fruitful
cause of " sick" or " nervous" head-ache, or that
derangement of the stomach which is the proxi
mate cause. - -
