Why lid the Lawyers oppose thi division of Pendleton until the people drove them to it ? Why did the Bar of Charleston, in the early history of - the State, resist and resist successfully for ninety-eight years, every attempt to establish a Court uose outsideof the Queen City, for the benefit of the country people "JUNIOR'' essays to handle me without gloves/for another expression in that short, but truthful paragraph in regard to lawyers and Division--namely, that as a Body, they would oppose division, because "they were competitors for offices in the gift of the Legis lature, which was under the control of the Parishes." It is richly emusing to observe, the complacency, with which he attacks my position, that " the LAgisla tuzre is tinder the control of the Parishes." And be cause the Districts have a majority of twenty-three on joint ballot of the two houses he exults over his defeated antagonist in the following elegant man ner: " But we are not surprised that this would-be statesman, with jaundiced eye should have mistaken these flirts also." " JUNIOR" forgot that each House of the Legislature hais a negative on the other-he fosgot that although the Districts'lave far more terri tory, wealth, white popudation, or slaves than the parishes, that yet the latter have a majority in the senate and always controlit-he forgot that the parishes are ever united against un because they wish to retain the politicial power which rightly belongs to the up country, while we are hopelessly divided by the ambition of trai'ors amongst us-:he forgot that the Legislatore electa every important officer in the State -he forgot that the Districts have nearly four times as many candidates for offices in the gift of the Legislature as the parishes-he forgot that the manner of voting in the Legislature is by secret ballot-he forgot that ambition is as strong a feelink in man's nature, as religion, love of property, or any other great principle that actuates humanity-I say, he must have forgotten or overlooked these things and many others, which might be named, or he could not have been so unjust, as to charge me with gross ignorance I upon a subject, which I had studied long and closely. As a general rule, about one half of the hundred and sixty-nine members in both branches of our Legisla ture are lawyers and of this number, a large majority always represent the Districts. Very few offices are ever given by our Legislature to Farmers, Doctors, Merchants, or any other class except Lawyers. This, " JuNioR" conceles because he could not deny it, and as lie admits that " Lawyers aspire to offices of distinclion" he aight as well go a step further with me and say that the Bar are opposed to division, be cause as a flody they are competitors for offices in the gift of the Legislature. The parishes are all united against establishing any new District in the up-counitry, lest such Districi might demand a Sena tor. And as the parishes have seventy-three of the hundred and sixty-nine votes in Il Legislature, nto Lawyer in the up-country, who hopes to get an oflice from the Legislature at any period of his life will advocate division, simply fur the reason that by that one act, lie would alienate all the parishes votes and be defeated by sonic boot-licking, truckling, intriguing traitor from the Districts. I do not wish to be understood a% asserting that all ] the lawyers who represent the up-country, are false to their section. On the contrary, I can bear willing testimony to the fidelity, ability and boldness with which :ome of them speak anl act in presence of their i Parish masters. Bit I it m-tintain most emphatically, 1 that at least two thirds of tie lawyers in the Legis- i lattre, from the Districts, betray their constituents and bend ithe supple knee to the Parishes. And if the up country, which containsfourff'ha of the white in habitants of the State, would erect a penitentiary as all the other States have done-if its voters wouldgive 1 the election of Governor anid of Presidential elector. to the people, as all the other States have done-if they woulid be represented in the National Conventions,1 as all the other State are represented ; if they would abolish the secret ballot system of voting in the Legis latuore, as all the othier States have abolished it ; if they wvouhl have any voice in the choice of their in the fLegislatture with the Parishes; if they would modify their worthless. idlle,vicious. expensive, eriime ii to-y wou ma'...., ..~. Igislators and! riot of electors ; or in a fe.. words, if the'y would have atny reforim whatever, I should ad vise them to elect bitt few lawyers to the Legislatture, wit hiout exacting pledges from them, not to accept any ,'nice in the gift of the Legislatture, at least, until aoffer the necessatry re fornms shall htave been effic-ted. I coticur with " .Justoa," in his remark as to the propriety of putting Lawvyers into all the high offices of the Governmett and for a very obvious reason. lvery oflice is butt a part of the Government and every Government is but a practical application' of law to the wants of the particu'ar comimutnity. Therefore, s a genera! rule, the more law a man knows, the b etter he is prepared to discharge the duties of any office in civil society. All American. concede this and hence the trite observation that law is the only rontd to distinctiotn in atny free country. If our State Governmtient were not orgatnized so as to corrupt te I Iepresenttative by its orlinotry operation, I should be the last tman to say ought against electitng A ttorneys to the Legislature, as perfecting antd applying law is their con.,tanit studiy andh daily labor. Jiutas I cannot shut liy eyes to the fact that the Lawyer's " nest" in outr Legislature is a " foul" otie, I am anxious to have it claused. " Juyton's" q~utation from "a distin giishied Ch~ancellior," therefore, has no reproach for te. I ami <;niite as pirouid of the ptrofessioin as " Just oa," or even the great Chancrellor to whom hte refers; but I cannot defend it in the wvrong, as well as in the riht. It may he said that I desire to rank myself as the only honest Lawyer at Edgefield Court House; bit suCh is not the case. rf.ssionially there are several members of the Bar here, who arc may egnals in character, andl my superiors in ability and acqutire ietts; but politically I do claim to speak and act with, at least, as much indepenudence as any of them. I tmay lhe wrotng in some of my views, and who is not 1 But if I am, the error shoulul tie ascribed to the head,. n tt tie heart. I know that I shall be denounced for the positio'n that I have taken in this matter, as wtell as for the tbitter truths which I dared to proclaim on recent occasion iti the Legislature. I anticipate that n othing will be left undotne, to break me down, but I have told the truth andi shall have a clear concience, whether I be sustuined or not. All that I ask of my enemies is to answver my argumnents, not traduce my character. I am in favor of division, and shall never cease to advocate it, either as a citlzen or as a Representative. I believe that our people ought to go for it unanimous ly, not only on account of thte merits of the measure itself, but to secure moure power in the Senate. It would he just as reasotiable to permit one of the six lataions of Militia in Edgefield, to rule the othier fie, as it is now, to let the Parishes rule the State. Suppose thte Lower Battalion of the 7th Regiment had a teative un the piroceedttngs of all the other Battal Iions in the District ; that a man, because lie chanced to residde in that Blatalioni, should have say twenty times as mneh tiotitical power as any voter in either of the ,ttier battalions, would otir people submit to iti I think not, and yet they are now acquiesing in pre cisely as unjust a thing in respect to the Parishes. Is thle air purer, or the water better In the Parishes thatt it is in the Districts I Are thte people wiser, or more fit to govern there than they are here! Are they all Philosophers, all Ciesers, all Diouglasses in the P'arishes, or are we all plebians, all ignoramuses in the D)istricts? Do paints only inhabit the frog Iponds of the P'ariuhies, or do evil genii only inhabit the D~istricts? I have atn invincible faith that whlen the people of Edgefield and llarnwell shall htave heard the whole argumnent in behalf of division, that they will go for it, as P'endleton id, to a man,'ecept the ttree followitig classes of persons: I1.

LABORDE'S PHYSIOLOGY. AMR. EDITOR: Some time since a friend placed in ur hands a copy of PROF. LAI3oRDi's recent work n Physiology, with the request that we would ex tmine it, and see if we thought it a suitable text hook or a school. We promised to do so; but being quite losely engaged with other matters at the time, we ailed until quite recently, to give it that attention which we intended. Upon rising from a recent pera *l of it, however, we are so strongly impreoped with is merits, that although we have nut the pleasure f a personal acquaintance with the accomplished tuthor, we.shall take the liberty of publicly stating ur opinion of the judicious manner in which his self. inposed task has been performed. Having been for many 3gars accustomed to the al- 1 not daily use of some one of the different Elementary 1 ext bookitupon Physiology,compiled tomeetthe wants 1 f students in our higher seminaries, it las occurred to I is that one cannot appregiate more readily the ex- r ellencies ofiProf. LABoRno's treatise, than by notic ng wherein it seems to difler from those which have t )een for some few years hefore'the public. And first I we think the general style in which the Professor his I xpressed himself is greatly preferable to that of many I uthors upon the saew subject, whose works are now n very general use. Most text books are intended to oe very concise, and as theeult of such good intention n the part of the author, they become models of that mceeding stiffness and dryness, which is so repugnant a the tastes of learners. Ruschenberger's elementary reatise, though on the whole excellent, is an exampte if such faultiness. Cutter's Physiology on the other and, borders in its style upon the opposite extreme, Ld for want of conciseness, fails in making an im tression upon the mind of the learner sufficiently defi tite, to fix firmly in his memory the facts and prin. iples which the work is designed to teach. Avoiding ooth these extremes, Prof. LABORD.has succeeded in nching a very happy medium, and while preserving c reat clearness has thrown a charm around the inter sting subjects of which hit work treats, which charm owing not more to the intrinsic interestof the truths rhich lie is elucidating, than to the exceeding clear Ld beautiful manner in which these truths are ex- t ressed. The Professor has also been peculiar happy in the eneral selection of the subject of which his work reats. In this he has shown as much good judgment, is in his style of writing he has shown good taste. It i a great point in an elementary treatise upon any hepartment of science, to know what to retain and what to reject. In a work strictly elementary, some eference must be had to the immediate effect which ill be produced upon the mind, of the learner, by the xcitation of pleasurable emotions, as these are arous d by the pleasing nature of the truths which are pre ented to him. If knowledge is made attractive, if he student becomes interested in his'studies, and earns to love any science from the gratification which he reception of its truths impart, he has derived from is author a two-fold benefit. Not only has he gained nowledge, but he has felt the charm attending its Lcquisition, and learned to love the truth itself, from he very pleasure which its study has afforded him. qo wthere is no department of scientific investigation ,hich, by a judicious arrangement of its text books, an be made more fascinating to learners than this which investigates the phenomena of life, and ther, is onte which, by an injndicious arrangement, can be nade to become nore wearisome. Most authors of he elementary treatises upon Physiology, seem to have rgotten, at times, that they were writing for those vho were less interested in professional details than heir medical brethren. And most teachers have vitnessed the weariness and lassitude, at times .mounting, on the part of the pupil, almost to disgust, ich has resulted from spch forgetfulness. Prof. aloat>x has an thte arraniglnent of his work, as a et book, shown the tact and judgment of an experi ned inistruactor, in carefully avoiding wvhatever is iot adapted at once to instruct and interest. In this ie has evidently comprehended the wants of those for ihom he has written. And rany one who will read us work, can readily imagine how even children can se made to feel an interest in wvhatever ne and weary uy ihaeir tect-'ical minutime, all wvhose tastes ire nout purely proa'sional, s features of the work most charming and refreshing. Another peculiarity of Prof. LArBotwa'st work is the very succint and happy manner in which he has introduced those great qutestlons of Physical Science wich are supposed to have so direct a bearing upon Levelatin, such as the Deerlopment Hypothesis. Were we writing a formal review of the Professor's work, we would like to transcribe the whole of the section which treats of this Hypothesis. But to do so now5would not comport with the hitnits of a brief notice like this. Its introduction at all into a waork devoted to Physiology, is a most happy thought. And ie author has introduced it so appropriately and naturally that one is at the same time surprised and lheligted on reading it. It is just what we have longed to see finding its way into our elementary works. ~or although the author dloes not pretend to settle the rjuetions at i-su't, or even to enter at harge upon their discussion, yet lie says enough tat enable an intel igent instructor to bring the subject before his classes, and to excite their attention ; so that they may learn what the theory is, and what are its tendencies. Such iseussions also vary the mnonotony of a text book, and furnish the occasion of calling forth whatever in melligence and knowledge a teacher may possess', con erning subjects somewhat scientific in their charac ters, but not of less general interest. Here, as well as elsewhere, Prof. LaB. ilhows hisi ability andl disposi ion tO make his work keep pace with whatever is required, that the great questions of the day may be utderstood by hi-.. readers. It has occurred to utswhile readling lhin work-and we may as well mention it in this connection--that Prof. L. might do good service to the cause of educa tiongeerally, and more particularly to the cause of ninisterial education, by preparing a work adapted to he ant. of our Theological Seminaries, anal arrang. ;ng it very much upon the plan of the wtork before us. There is a sad deficiency at present existinig in the ourse of studies adhopted in must, if not all aof our seminaries, for the education of minaistera'. As the re sult of this deficiency, there is a lamentable ignorance prevailing among our pireachiers, on all sujec~ts con nected with physical and physiological science. And all this, in tutrn, may be traced to the want of a text book uitable to accomplish the desired end ; andl yet adapted to theuse of Theological Students. By en larging some sections of the work, to meet this want, and entering more fully into the discussion of those theories which are intenided to dleal heavy blows at Revelationja most capital work might be prodtuced without dleviating materially from the general arrange. ment which Prof. L,. lies here adopted. W~e throw out thIs spggestion just as it has occurred to us, hope ing that it may attraact hii attenttion. Btt not to make our notice tedious by its length, and thus defeat our object in oalling attentIon to time work of ousr accomphished fellow-townsman, wve will in conclusion specify hut one other most interesting feature of his book, and that is the introduction of the section upon the " Nature of Death." The Introduction of this subject, in the conclusion of the work, upon the Scienac of Life, is a happy thought, and in working it out the P'rofessorlihangiven us several passages conspicuous for their eloquence and beauty. Those whao have read the work itself have noticed thaee, while those who have not, will, no doubt, lhe interested in the truths contained in the flloving brief extract. Who cean tell hiow great the relief which would he experienced bty those who stur runa the deathi-beds of dear friends if they could fully appreciate, and understand such important " Death is not necessarily attended with gcreat suf rin nNtd agong. Most of my readerscicalt tinl insances mn which the patient was free from all ait, in full possession of conscioucmess, and sunk in to death as If into the gentlest and most placidl slum ber. And yet so terrible is death, so encircled with horror, that we are apt to believe the last escene mtoie be one of indescribable ttortutre and misery, antd that here is no escape from this life except through pains to which former sufierings furnish no parallel. Death, physiologically speaking, isi thme result of certamt changes in thme molecular and integral cotnstituitlon of anixed bodies. These changes may he brought bout slowly or suddenly.

ABnO.ITION ALLMs.-It is alleged, during the late ditliculties in Kansas, a large number of Shawnee and Delaware Indians expressed their I willingtness to join in the fight under the banner of the Free Statesnen.. The Lawrence corres- r pendent of the.New York Times, Writing under date of December 2d, says their head men and braves had arrived in that town, " with the blood of war 'yet running in their veins." 0 0i A correspondent of the London Times, in b commenting upon the process of Irish agricul- c ture, states that during the past fourteen yearn a the value of farm stock in Ireland has iiereased from X22,000,000 to 35,000,000 sterling, and a that the number of horned cattle has risen from it 2,000,000 to 3,230,000, while the quality has til correspondingly improved. Still, however, of h the 20,000.000 of acres which Ireland comprises, o only about one.fourth is under direct tillage, and it fully one-third in pasture. A Susricious AIRMSED VESSEL IN THE GULF d STR EA3.-The ships Westmoreland, of Phila. delphia, and the Sultana, of New York, were recently chased for some distance in the Gulf Stream by an armed brig showing Spanish colors. a The brig hauled to under the Westmoreland, but she on tsailed her, and the suspicious vessel followed the Sultana for half an hour, and then told the captain he "1 might go," after fireing a shot at her, without replying to the question, Why she thus insulted the American flag y' A humorous paper published in New York, m under the title of Young sam, says that although d John Bull may iake rye faces at the United '1 States across the water, for our suppossed sym- c pathy with Russia, we are still the best friend i and ally she has Ingrain, and sho must acknowl- i edge the corn. V THREATENED DIscLosUREs.-it is Paid that It the family of the late Robert Sehuyler are de. 0 termined to make such disclosures as his death a enabks them to, and which, it is asserted, will relieve his memory from a large share of the obloquy that now rests upon it in connection with his enormous defalcations. We learn that this threat causes a good deal of fluttering in certain quarters, and it is supposed that parties C hitherto unsuspected will be he d up in an un enviable light, if a full statement is made. . SWEAniNG.-The absurdity and utter a folly of swearing is admirably set forth in the following anecdote of Belezebub and his imps. The latter went out in the morning, each to tl command his net of men-one the murderers, t another the liars, and another the swearer#, &c. At evening they stopped at the mouth of a cave. The question arose among them who commanded v the meanest set of men. The subject was do- t bated at length but without coming to a decision. t Finally, his Satanic Majesty was called upon to e decide the matter in dispute. Whereupon, lie C sid: " The murderer got something for killing, 0 the thief for stealing, and the liar for lying, but t the swearer was the meanest of all, he served a without pay." They were his majesty's best 1 subjects ; for while they were costless their name I was legion, and presented the largest division in his (Satan's) employ. R Do YOL:NG LADIEs GET IN DET?-In the course of the recent debate upon the Marital Rights question, in the South Carolina Senate, Mr. C. W. Dndley said : But it is said that every man is to shoulder his wife's debt. Why, sir, what debts did he ever know a blushing young maiden of seventeen to owe to any one in the world? Has there ever been found an instance where a young lady of seventeen, eighteen, nitneteen or twenty, approach the altar perfectly unsophist icated, who perhaps never contracted a debt in life, Paddled her hus band with debts ? And are we to turn the cold shoulder to this law for such au extraordinary reason? Young ladies are not in debt; they owe no accounts. WVherever it happens that tlte husband is called upon to pay the debts of a wife', it is thte casts of one who has married a widow. g~i As A FFECTING INCIDENT.-Atuong the passengers on the ill-fated steamer Anthony I Wavuno, wa's a Mr. Wahers, who was oni his way I from' Chicago, (Il I.) to Philadelphtia, Pentnsylva- - nia, with the. remains of his wife.

This, manifestly, is not a condition of much mimi andi sueiring. I is to he expected that in acci lental death, except when it takes place sudlenly, he sufTring will be greater. This arises from the iigher sensibility, the greater susceptibility of pain, tihe 'uller energy (if the vital powers, andi their greater esistanre to the inroads of death. But even it these :ase of fatal disease, the Creator has not ordered that evere suflering shall he a necessary attendant. On lie contrary, the progress to the tomb not unfreqently s as gentle and grad ual us in old age. What is called he agony of death is but a state of insensibility. The ectliar respiration, the inverted anti fixed eye, the onvulsive agitation, are now ascertained to be signs f insensibility, and not of suffering." In closing, we may express the hope that Prof. L. vill feel called upon by the success attending his vork, to continue in the department of authorship rhich lie has chosen. We need such books as lie as given us. They are useful in connection with the nore rigidly scientific works of Agassiz andl Goul, nd will be used in connection with them.

EDGEFIELD COLLEG IATE INSTITUTE. Jan. 8, 1856. For the Advertiser. " MANIFEST DESTINY." If a Ship Canal can be accomplished through the thmnus of Darien or any part of Central America, ither the Cape of Good Hope nor Cape Horn would Iver be doubled again by a Merchant vessel. The :ommerce of the world would pass through that Canal. f a Canal is impracticahle, a Rail Itoad can be made eithout doubt. The only question is its cost. If a tail RIoad with twelve or twenty tracks were com uleted, itwould pay. It would pay largely if at eadh erminus there were machinery capable of lifting out if the water a loaded vessel of IM tons, placing her n a car,carrying heracross the Isthmus in two hours, nd again dropping her into the water. Surely mod. irn science can accomplish this, since Archemedes roposed to lift the Earth if a Fulcrum were furnished o him. The nation that possesses and controls this passage ust neessarily be the most powerful on earth-be !ause whenever it wills to close it, it can paralyse the world. What nation, then, shall possess this para nont power! Every thing points to the United States af America. It is " Manifest Destiny." But England md France with their great naval and commercial esources, aided, perhaps, by all Europe-save Russia -will.go to war rather than submit to this. They will ot permit the United States to over-top the world without an appeal, ingeniously conducted, to the trial by combat." This is certain. But with such 6 Territory as we possess, and its population-ap. roximating thirty millions-with five hundred thou. and fighting men-and such men. If- we only take :are to provide fifty thousand sailors and as many nariners and steam vessels to huld them, we need not ear theqesult. We can whip the " world in arms." Ve can anti we should take Canada and all North od Central America, including the West India 'slandls, Mexico antl every fut of ground washed by he Western Atlantic, the Gulf and the Carribean Sea, or our own. And what then ? Are we to admit these inferior -aces, and half savage people into full fellowship with mrsolvp! Shall they share Sovreigny witlh us o! Gdd forhid!
