" Up stairs or down stairs Whither shall I wander!" "KING'S MOUNTAIN CELEBRATION.". Such is the little of a well-prepared publicatiot recently issued by Messrs MILLER &.MELTON of thie Yorkville Enquirer. It is avery handsome pamphle of more than one hundred pages, containing, amonj many other good things, the speeches ofeCol. Joux S PaRSToN and Mr. BANCaoFT on the occasion of thi celebration of the anniversary of the battle of King' Mountain In October last. We have derived muel pleasure .rong the perusal of its pages and shall plae -the copy we have received upon a shelf in our librar set apart for usally valuable 'Amrca works. Per hape we .are wrong in dsigntlng bta work ;ani yet, so seldom do we see Southern talent engaged ii iflustrating the history and character of our homes that we will even let the word stand as it is writ. It certainly was something to hare achieved th imposing celebration of October last in the manneri was done. It was something too to have drawn fror the eloquent descendant of Campbell that glowinj narrative of those " high-souled patriots who left th banks of the beautiful Wtac tyrz:Spm pose written upon every brow-that deeply-wrough description of the daring attack of' SFxvt~a, CAMr DELLr, WILr.rre and StrEtsy, with their galian mountaineers, upon the rocky stronghold of the fear less and insatiate Fracusor--that closIng in of th ranks of the patriots around the infuriated and aston ished soliery of Britain; until there came, in'plac: of maddened curses, " a yeli for merc y," when thi white flag was run up and God's champions uhoutet " victory !;liberty !"-that rich flow of feeling and sen timent pervading the whole production-and lasndy that noble tribute to the genius of American Libertl as enstamped upon the free heart of our country. I was indeed above the common routine of events, tia pilgrimage of ten thousand worshiping children whi went to kneel upon sod hallowed by the purest ances tral blood. It was surely more than a common anni versary, upon which that autumnal "sun rose si gloriously and went his round from morning to twi. light without a cloud to dim even for a moment hii unusual splendor." All in all, the occasion was an hon or to -the heart that conceived it and an example ol reverance for the heroic past which must.command the applause of the virtuous and brave in every parn of the country. It affoirds us high satisfaction to have the privilegi of recording our admiration of this patriotic " Cole bration" and all its accompaniments; and we beg tc recommend the publication in question to our rea drs.

THE folk~'wing action of the Students of the South Carolina College, in reference to the resignation ol Da. Liuiza, is highly complimentary to that eminent professor. As an alumnus, whose associations -with college life are connected with this gentleman's. initia tion amongst us, wee heartily rejoice to s the mani festation here made. At a mueeting, on Tuesday afternoon,of the Students of the South Carolina College, the following pream ble and resolutions were proposed by Mr. J. C. Clena ghan, and unanimously adopted: Whereas Dr. FRAncts Ligaza has signified ant in tenion of terminating his connection with the South Carolina College as Professor of History, Political Phiisopby and Economy--hrwlo D.Lee Resolued, Thar, in the withrw-ofD.Lbr from the posthe has filled for nearly a quarter of acen ry, the atudents of this College will he deprIved of the instruaction of one whose eminence in hts depart. ment is such that in it there can he ciued no highor authorit than his own name ; this institution wIll be tottered bythe removal of one of its- main supports, and. the State will lose a citizen whose'extended repu ration for learning has made his domicile a familiar ame on both sides of the Atlantic. Resolved, That the Trustees by taking action sucht as to induce Dr. Lieber to reconsider his resignation, would prevent the institutinn, wIth whose welfare they are intrusted, from suffering an irreparable loss. kesolsed, That, should Dr.. Lieber withdraw at the time designated by him, we shall esteem ourselves for tnate to be entitled to rank among " HIs Former Psso'sed, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Coiumbia and Charleston papers.

This fa nut fothefinibligisia to crak.: Mr1 Buchanan 'n his correspoedence i4tJdrd Aboren insista that the engage.msnt of a party not to " occupy. or exerie dothinion't over territory of Which that party is in actual possession at the date of the engage.; ment, is equivalent in all respeott tan agreemey; to withdraw from such territory, the one proposition being neessarily 'aid inseparabryinvolved in; the other, theylbeing merely alternativo modes of-expres sing the same idea, antithetically, adding, ".In such case to withdraWi s not to occupy, and not to occupy is necessarily to withdraw." The geographical point is.this,. whether the Isind or Ruatan, one of the Islands in the Bay qf Honduras. whici has bein occupied by England bihee 1641ciiir is not . portion of the State bf Eduras.. Lord.Elaw endon contends that these islands form: an appendage of the Belize or British. Hondaras. Mr. Buchanan asks very'peitinently how came the appendagi to be: so mucltarger thanwthe principe.l. of .the. country tat which itis appended, the Belize being a.mere strip of land while one of those Bay of Islands,. Bonitia, Is 60 miles in- circumference, and Ruatan of which Eng land has taken forcible possessionja large, occupies a commanding position as a Naval station, and has ex cellent harbouro, the whole cluster being miuich iearer to the coast-of the State of Honduras than to the Belize. England having possessed herself of this whole cluster of Islands, sit in riumber..establishid and proclaimed them a coldny in 1851, subsequently to the formation-ofthetreaty. E Whateuver doubt there may be therefore as regards other portions of Central America, as relates to the Bay of Islands' there has been colonization in violation of the treaty. But whatever may be the title of the State of Hon duras to these Islainds from contiguity, Mr. Buchanan, in relation to the 'question of geography in'volved, most successfully rebutted.the statement of Lord Clar endon, that there was d map published by Jeffries in 1796, in which Ruatan was colored as a British set tlement, observing, 1. That there is- another map in the British Museum, published in -the same year,.in which Ruatan is not colored as a British possessian. 3. That a mip published in 1851. by James. Wyld, geographer to the Queen, also to be found in the British Museum, is of much higher authority,in which Ruaian and the other Bay Islands are assigned to the State of Honduras. 3. Another map published by the same author in 1849 presents the same view. 4. Brooks' General Gazetteer published in London in 1853 dis tinctly states the same fect.} ..Johnson in his Diction aty of Geography publistief in 1852 and 1853 attests the same fact. .So -much for the geographical problem involved.. Mr. Buchanan cites another British au thorit, "'Crow's Gospel in Cdntral A merica," in support of lhbr statement, thus. adducingfiue works of undisputed veracity to one solitary map that Lord Clarendon cites. So much for the geographical ques ktion.

Press, Anderson Gaaette, Pickens Courier, Greenville Mountaineer and Patriot, Spartanburg Express, Spar tanburg Spartan, Unionville Journal, Chester Stand ard, Fairfield Herald and Register, Lancaster Ledger,i Cheraw Gazette, Darlington Flag, Marion Star, andti Pee Dee Tlimes, sixteen in all. Those opposed are the Che'rleston Mercury, Evening News, Orasngeburg Southron, Columbia Timne, Carolinian, New Era, Camden Journal, Yorkville Citizen Lexington Tele hieseithe editor of the News, one of the editrs ofIe Times, and the editor of the Watchman were appoint ed delegates to the Philadelphia Know Nothing Con venti'an ; two of them attended, thes third did not op pose the Convention, though conveined upon a Na tional call. While the Columbia New Era, Camden Journal and Lexington Telegraph favor Kntow Noth ingism. Those papers of whose position we are ignorant are the C.harleston Courier, Columbia Examiner, Laurensville Herald and NewherryllMirror, four. The Yorkville Enquirer on the subject is a house divided against itself. It will be observed out of the ten opposing the mnea sure, six favor Know Nottiingism, and might there fore be expected to oppose a Democratic Convention." -In addition to the foregoing, it may be remarked that the Columbia E~zatiner has also taken a high stand in favor of the State being properly represented at Cincinnati, basing his posation upon grounds nearly identical wIth those on which we stood from the first. Along with our other esteemed friends of the Carolina Press, who advocate this policy, we welcome so efli cient and gallant a compeer-in this cause of prudenoe and common sense. We believe . moreover that the Laureneville Herald is with us. The Carolinian is placed by the Register on the other side; yet we can but hope that the inclinations of this very senuible journal are also in our direction. And the same we remark of the Yorkville Eniquircr. But whatever the tone of the Press may be, whether for or against this measure, we believe the people of the State are at heart convinced of its necessity as matters now stand; and we doubt not, if there were any direct and pal pable issue made before them, this fact would fully appear. Even the Mercury, which may be considered the exponent of the strongest feeling that exists in op position to a representation, appears almost ready, in view of Pixaca's admirable Sortherun Message, to veer with the times and spread 'his sinewy wings in obedIence to the call of the uprising genius of Southern union. See the remarks of the Charaw Gazette on this point. With the Gazette, we most hecartly re cognise and appreciate the lofty sentiments of our Charleston cotemporary ; and we know that its course on this question las been shaped by the criterion of a most chivalrous creed. To see it now throw its pow. erful influence on the side of the toisdom of the hour, would be to many of us cause of sincere gratilitation ; and we trust we may not hope for that consummatsion in vain.' A very great point in this matter is to have our State (if represented at all) fully end strongly rep resented. If South Carolina .is to go with the SouthI into this Convention, let her highest talent, her stern est integrty, ad above all the most faithful exposi tion of her long-cherished principles - be embodied in her delegation. Thus may she do much for the coun try and especially for the South. If she shall irn this way become instrumental in placing at the head of affairs an administration pledged to save the rights and equality of the States, she will have achieved, in that alone, a great and happy result. But if she shall, by the influence of her genins and worth co-operating wIth the genius and worth of her Southern sisters, gather the South as one man beneath a Southern ban ner, she will have attaIned an end upon which the bright departed spirit of Calhoun will look down with beaming exultation. D'ORIENTT. A rumor is creating considerable excltement in the Capitals of Europie to-the effiect that Russia- had con cluded an offensive and 'defensive 'treaty with the United Staties in the event of a war between England aad America. The rumor had its origin in the fact that Rusisia had transmItted here the outline of a com terial and amity treaty. Mashal Pelissier is reported to have notified his government that no military success is possible from the present base of operations in the Crimea.

Since he objects to the epithet of 1 would be statesman," we shall en "Y deavor to make'the amende honorable, by refraining in from its-future use, as we do not wish to be regarded in. as ignoring or overlooking his lately achieved honors, ke aid the unAnimous concession of all parties, to his de just title, of :being ranked among the distinguished Rif Statesmen of our common country. We had the iu pleasure of hearing his brilliant effort on the Electoral to Bills, to which, in his reply, with his characteristic ng modesty he alludes. We have observed with delight ay the golden opinions which he won, and of his having se covered himself, all over, with " immortal glory." of He adds, " that hard names are not arguments, and eC the former are much easier- produced than the latter." in Now we frankly confess, that in our comment upon his nd rema'rks, we adopted the Homeopathic treatment, the k- maxim of which is " asmilia simiibus," not thinking ig the malady required any stronger or more active Ot specific. I The explanation that he has given of his apparent ie contradictory sentences, we receive, but cannot desist d. from reiterating, that, as it previously stood, we gave in it a fair arid liberal interpretation ; anid we are not nil fully satisfied that the explanation has not the eat e tmarks of having been an after thought. I H~e admits that according to our constrtictionl of the ,ed and that instead of seeking business themselves, busi -ness was brnnght to them," we had " just cause to be im offended with him." We are much pleased to find y that he repudiates mucli an interpretation ; hut at the I same time beg to assure him, that our construction was id not a solecism ; and that it occurred to others, whose no time is devoted to the determining of the propermean ive lug of sentences. He will bear in mind that we have " no way of arriving at what lie said as Aiken, but nd frotn the report, and from the most natural construc es, tion to infer his meaninag. 1His argument as explainedl k reads thus: y " One reason why Lawyers in large judicial Dis ch tricts. would oppose iviision is that they are averse to incircuit ridling, and desire to have h'isiness brought to iithem, instead of being compelled to leave their homes tnt Now this appears to our mind to be nothing more ed than a matter of taste. Some might prefer to stay at r home, others might consider it quite a pleasant change to their monotonnus rotutine of life ; hence it can not ibe brought forward as an argument, for or against n. division. ut He asks " if large judicial Districts do nht increase n litigation, and if lawyers are not averse to circuit rid "m ing why is " JuNtoR" opposed to division 1" Nlow ty- the veriest tyro in political conitroversy would blush a to own the paternity of such a transparent piece of 0trickery, as lie evidences, when he attempts to assign erus a posttionfo or against division. We have studi nonesly avoided the discussion of this question, except hso far as we were compel led, in order to argue the O>n point-at issue between us. The following extract *s from our first piece will verify our intention : us " We waive the disenssion of the formation of new g Districts, and tihe consequent increase of our political - influence to older and mnore experienced men." sir Now we have done so from no disposition to evade isthe question, but from these facts, that we have been d but a short time a citizen of this District-tiat we g know but little of its topography, hut few of Its ctti zens, and that ive are not in passession of snlficient lfacts of the case to form an enlightened opinion. And eas we do not wish to pin our faith to any one, for we nclsim to be no man's man, we have declined the dis cuission. We have now arrived at the main point at issue between Mr. TILLtAN and ourself. He asserts that lt Lawyers as a body would oppose division, because ly " they are competitors for offices in the- gift of the k Lcgislature, which was under the control of the Pa. te rishes."' As it has been some time since we suibmitted aIour reply to this"a truthful" assertion, we will quote it: " All the offices in the gift of the Legislature are he conferred by a joint ballot of the Senate and Hlouse -of Representatives, except those petty offices, the ditties o'f which are confined to the House and Senate. r Tihere are seventy-fouir District and fifty Parish votes in the House. In tihe Senate the District votes stand twent y.two to twenty-three Parish, giving a majority of twenty.three to the Districts. )Jence it will be prceived that instead of the Legislature (in elections) abing utnider the-control of the P'arishes, it is just the At the last Session of the Legislature Sumpter District wais divided into two Districts, under the names of 'Sumpter anid Clarendon, each entitled to a Senator the former to three, the latter to two Representatives. These we formerly gave to the Parishes. At the next .Segaion Pickens lDistrict will be entitled to a Senator, rwhich will make the vote stand thus: In the Hcuse seventy-nine District and forty-five Parish. In the t Senate twenty-five .District to twenty-one Parish, n giving a majority on joint ballot to the Districts of thirty.eighit votes. Ho replies to this by saying; we 0 "forgot thmat each House of the Legislature has a Y necgalise on the other." Admitting that each house has a negative upon the other in all acts of' Legisfa o tion, we wash him to prove to tus the existence of that e negative wvhen the two Houses unite in elections. All . Legislative assemblies, composed of two Houses, have n checks and negatives upon each other. Congress has, d and so has the Parliament of Great lBritain. 4, He further says we " forgot that although the Dis rtricts have far more territory, wealth, white popula n Ition or slaves thaan the Parishes, that yet the latter have a majority in the Senate and always control it." sAdmitting the statistical facts, and that in our former e calculation we gave the Senmate a majority of one, a we have shown at the next Session thecre will be a majority of four in the Setnate, and thiirty-four in the I House in favor of the Districts. We'would ask him what has this to do wvitht the conferring of offices, in thec gift of the Legislature I H~e also says we " forgot the Parishes are evsr unitedl against us, because they wish to retain the po litic-l pow--er. -ichihtl lae-tngs to the uin.vnty,n RETURNS CES FOR EDGEFIELD DISTRICT.

Admitting all this too, wbat hats it to do with th'e principle involved in, this part of the oteration of the government of the State If the Districts were unitoa and true io themsltes, it Is evi dent that they can, control the elections. Even taking I what he asserts to be true, it is only our misfortune to I be disunited and hive traitors in our midst, and no i fault of the parishes. But where is his proof of our disunion, and of the existence of traitors in our midst ? We would ask him if our two United States Senators c are not from the Districts I If three out of four of our I Chancellors are not from the Districts i If four out of six of our Law Judges are not from the Districts I If our four Solicitors are not from the Districts? If our Comptroller General, Surveyor General and Sec retary of State are not from the Districts! And if our Chief Magistrate is not from a District ! And we ask him if all these officers .have been. traitors? Were CA LtoUN and Mc Du FF1 9 traitors to the Districts? Ifave BU'rLZRt and WARD.Aw been traitors to old Edgefield? We ask him to slo us proof of the prac tical operation of his assertion? and if he believes in the utter depravity of the whole human race I He gravely asserts we "forgotthe Legislature elects every important officer in the State." We beg the gentlemantse pardon-we -forgot no such thing. He surely must be-labouring under a mental hallacins tion;~ ;We aye! really fearful .hat the intenu'ity of his ethusiasin, upon Division, and other pet political schemes, has entirely consumed or greatly impaired his judgment. We have seen it statedl in some dim. tinguished author, that every great man is liable at times to become insane on the particular subject upon which lhe may have set his heart. For we regard the fact of the election of every important officer in the State, by the Legislature, as involved in the question itself. IAgain hie says, " we forgot the Districts have nearly th*Je Legislature as the Parishes." We have already attempted to show thtat a large majority or the most honorable andi important offices are filled by those from the Districts. But this, like the other,, has the failing of not heing applicable to the point. In addition, lie says we " forgot that the manner of voting in the Legislature is by secret hallot." This, *we suppose, is the broad mantle that covers the reacherous acts of those members from the Districts. Until he substantiates his charge of corruption, this cannot apply, and will be subiect to the technical language of "js nlon erro pro .era,"-and by the laws of fair argument must be excluded. The following is the grand elimacterie of all his "forgots." He says, we " forgot that ambition is as strong a feeling in man's nature as religion, love of property, or any other great principle that actuates Ihumanity." Now, it would be impossible for us to forget this from having always in our " mind's eye" an example of " vaulting ambition over-leaping it self." It remains with an unbiased public to decide whhrw have madec good his gratuitous charge of "gross ignorance upona sebject which he had studied lorng and closely." We would respectfully suggest to him, that bold,.unprecedented arid sophistical aser-I tions, " are not arguments, and much easierproduced than" epithets. -We admit that the remaining portisn *of his piece at times quite baffled our humble abilitis to arrive at his meanaing, and see its connection with the main . point at issue. It is unnecessary to reply minutely to. what lie has said, for if we have substantiated our' position, and shown that the conclusions that he has drawn from his premuses are incorrect, his argument will be condemned by the Lagiciaus' maxim of "falses in uno, falsus in omnibus." Hence, what . he has asserted, that legitimately bears upon the question must fall to the ground' 'In fact, the greater part of what he has said about Lawyers seems to he but a series of accusations against them as a body, with subsequent qualifying expressions which extenuates, I or neutralize its otherwise injurious efect. We are sorry that such is not the case In. every instance. He eas btId maintain most emphatically that at lestto: hi; of the lawyers in the Legislature from m the Districts, betray their constituents, and bend the supple knee to the Parishes." This is a grave charge ( against the honor and honesty of those members of our c profession in the legislature of South Carolina-ag class of men distinguished fur their talent, integrity, patriotism and gentlemanly bearing, and who .have a ever endeavored to preserve thieir 'honor, as bright as p the sword, which they hold ever ready to defend it. And w'e now challenge him to his -proof of a ingle. traitorous act, or to an instance where they have sacri ficed the interest and welfare of the .Commonwealth Ito personal advancement; or in which they have " crooked the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow, fawning."i .But he,is not content with casting a reproach upon a the professional members of the Legislature, but he a has drawn an invidious distinction between the mem. ii bers of our own bar. He says, " It may be said that I desire to rank myself as the only Aoniest lawyer at Edgefield Court House, but much Is not the cse. C Professionally there are seercl members of the Bar C here, who are my equalsia character, andi my superi ors in ability and -acquirements, bet politically, I do claim to speak and act with at least as much indepen- ii dence as any of them." We trust he will now givea us an evidence of him boasted independence, by throw. ing aside the broad shield of general and indiscrimi nate accusiation, and confirm or relieve the majority of the members of the Bar from the inferential charge of dishonesty,, or at least of inferiority in professional character.' ie says that lie anticipates " that nothing will be left undone to break him down." I. Is not our wish to throw the smallest obstacle In the way of his political preferment, much less to break him down. But we i cannot suffer the Profession to be misrepresented, that he may gratify his political aspirations, by catering to vulgar prejudice, and endeavoring to excite the ill- C will of the honest farmers of our country against us. C Personally, we entertain no unitind feelings to c ward him, and what we have written, has been from a concientious discharge of wvhat we helieve to be due J to truth and justice, ancI teore in sorrow than in an-h ger.
