tor, Judge Evans. How far the second day's
tirade outraged the patience of Southern men,
is shown by the fact that direct contradietions
and charges of falsehooa fell upon him from all
quarters. ' We judge from this that South Caro
lina still received a further dose of the whole
sale decoction of villainy and abuse, and that a
personal recrimination forced ir. Brooks to re
sort to ptrsonal chastisement. Well, let the
battle come-it is about as well that it should
commence, and the first punishment fall on those
who instigated all the mischief at Washington,
as that it should be adjourned to the agents of
Abolition politicians in Kanes. It makes but
little difference who strikes the first blow. 10
bellion against the constitutional powerw of the
government should be punished as summarily
and as effectively when attempted in the Capt
tol, as when delegated by the mischief-makers
to their satelities in the Territories. The circle
narrows, and the issue in some shape or other
must come. In the name of conscience let it
come now, and not be entailed on posterity as
an accumulated curse, which will cru4h out the
future, and enshroud in ruin the fairest pros
pects of the common country.-Souh Carolinian.
GRAN CHAPER OF GEORGIA.
This body assembled in Grand Convocation,
in the city of Augusta, on Wednesday morning,
the 30th uIt., and continued its session until
Fri6 evening, 2d inst. The attendance was
vertfull-all the Chapters, except two or three,
being represented. Businness of much impor.
I tance to the Craft was transacted, and many
useful improvements made in the external polity
of the Order. The occasion was honored by
the presence of a very distinguished companion
from a neighboring jurisdiction ; we allude to
I Dr. Albert G. Mackey, Grand High Priest of
the Grand Chapter of~South Carolina, who aided
with his counsel in transacting and perfecting
the business of tho Convention. Dr. M. in our
opinion, has contributed more " to dispense light
and knowledge to the unenlightened," than any
other man in the Southern country. His wri.
tings have done much towards dispelling the
darkness and gloom which had gathered around
the history and jurisprudence of an Institution
; which datesfar back to a period " whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary."
His Lexicon, has, fo'r severaul years, been the
text-book of the Craft, in explaining and un.
-riddling many of the mysterios technicalities,
which were hitherto unintelligible to the broth.

expounder and administrator of Mansonic law,
Having devoted many years of his life to the in.
avestigation of the arcana, mysteries laws, and
rites of the Order, he is eminently qualified foi
tthe important work in which he is engaged. The
3 Masonic Order has become so extensively dif
fused throughout the civilized world, and so in.
sociey, that it has become an important part, of
-our social system. Hence everything connected
awith its external operations is a matter of pub.
SIto interest. The whole superstructure being
based upon the great virtues of charity and uni
versal benevolence, it justly commands the at.
tention and respect of every good mian through.

CHRISTIANITY AND SLAvERY.-The Bible, a
is well known everywhere, recognizes slavery so
explicitly and repeatedly that abolitionists, see
ing no other way to escape, are beginning to
turn infidels anid deny the authority of the in.
Sspired volume. A correspondent of the Na.
tional Intelligencer adds to the voice of scripture
the following remarkable testimony from those
who lived in the generation next but one to that
of the Apostles. It is an authentic compilation
of " The Church and House Book of the An.
cint Christians," and the chapter is, "' How they
who require to be instructed are to be examined
before they are admitted." The extract is as
follows:
" Let their manners and their life be inquired
into, and whether they be slaves or freemen;
and if say ono be a stave, let himn be asked who
is his master. Itf he be slave to one of the be.
lievera, Let his master be asked if he can give
him a good aharauter. If he cannot, let him be
rejected until he show himself to be worthy of
his master; but if he does give him a good char.
iteter, let him be admitted, But if he be a slave
to an heathen, let him be taught to please his.
master, that the Word be not blasphemsed."
The book is in the Congress Library, and any
one who chooses can verify the quotation.
Prof. SillIman, of Yale College, has written
a long letter to the National Intelligencer, in
which he attempts a vindication of his. recent
Sunday night speech, urging the young men of
IYale College to contribute Sharpe's rifles to the
abolition emigrants to Kansas. On reading it.
the former pupils of this once distinguished
man will be pained not more by its violent fa
naticism, than by its billy do~gmatism. Prof.
Sillimian was once a man of liberal views, and
has received the hospitality of the Sputh. The
extent to which the Northern mind has become
infected may be estimated from liis conduct.
Silliman, Dutton & Co., have now become as
notorious as Arthur Tappan & Co., onee were.
Southern merchants ceased to purchase goods
of Tappan, and he failed. We sincerely trust
Southern parents will now ease to send their
sons to be educated by Silliman & Co. If we
may not contend in low invective with such
men, and abuse baek Northern as they do South.

WARLICK'S IMPROVED PLOW.. 5
The Rev. Mr. WtLLIAMS, from LaGrange Ga., has it
introduced to the people of Edgefield the famous plow
known as " Warlick's Improved Plow ;" and it oc- ti
curs to us that In less titan a year's time, numbers of 1I
our citizens will be grateful to him for having done b
so. If it is not a perfect implement of its kind, we v
give up our judgment in such matters. It runs beau. 0
tifully, enters the earth without labor to the plowman ti
and is adapted to every stage of a growing crop.
With a Scooter hoe, it is admirable for siding corn
and cotton, with a twisting shovel finely adapted to
throwing up beds, and it can be worked with the eagle
hoe with eqal success. It is at once light and strong;
and our farmeis will miss much to their advantage if
they neglect to avail themsefves of the presence of Mr.
WILLIiAxs, with this noble agricultural implement.
Mr. W. is at Mr. NicuoLAs's hotel in this place,
and has on hand a good supply of these plows. Price
$4,50 per stock.
HURRAH FOR THE LADIES:
The Cheraw Gazette says that "thie ladies of Ches.
terfield village, on Saturlay evening, the 10th iAt.,
incited thereto by the deleterious effects produced upnn
sundry persons by imbihing an exhilarating fuid some- I
times called bald fcce, waited upon the seller thereof I
in a body, and emphatically informed him that he must
and should cease to deal out the liquid ifre. They.
generously offered to pay him for his stock, that they
might legally empty it on the ground. He preferred
to remove from the village, which they consented to,
provided he did so by last night, or they would wait
upon him again." 3
MOREGOLD! -
GOLD mines are getting to be almost as common as
mole hills. The last Abbeville Banner conta-te the
following: " We were shown, a few days since, a
lump of gold, taken from the premses of Lewis Rich
in this District, worth, we suppose, six or sven dol
'ars. The appearance of the rock, as described to us,
near which it was found, aff rds the strongest evidence
of an aunferous vein in the vicinity.
Sometime since, we were shown specimen ore from
the plantation of Mr. CUNNINGHAM ; but as we learn
ed it was the intention to test its quality, we omitted
to mention the fact, expecting soon to hear the result.
We have also heard ttat a valuable mine has been
discovered upon the premises of Col. JAs. E. CAr.HOUN.
Who knowm but that old Ahheville may yet prove
as rich in this precious mnineral, as the hills and plains
of California 1"
TRE VILL AGE OF MANNVING.
According to notice of the Commisuiontrs (says the
Sumter Watchssaa,) a sale of the lots composing'the
future village of Manning, in Clarendon, took. place
on Thursday last. We learn that the occasion called1
together quite a large assemblage or the citizens .of
capital and influence, as well as of the people gene
rally, and that much feeling and interest were mani
fested. Considerable competition was maniifestedi
three-fourth to one-eight acre, sold from sixty to four
hundred ad flee dollars. Quite a number were sold,
many of which to gentlemen expressing a purpose to
their early improvement. The location is dlescribed
as being pretty as well as eligible, and muc~h taste has
been displayed in laying off and arranging the streew,
plan &c., of the village. Our Clarendon friends will
doubtless bring much spirit and capital to bear in the
speedy building up and improving a place worthy the
name it bears. We wishm them success in their designs,
and hope soon to be able to record an advanced and
advancing state of prosperity.
CAPT.. BROOKS' CASTIGATION OF SENA
TOR SUMINER.
* " ithimnagain."
HioN. P. S. Baor took an adlmirahle occasion the
other day to give Mr. Senator SuxNza, of Massachu
setts, a handsome drubbing. As we learn the particu
Itars, the affatir was on this wise:
3Ma. SUMNER had just delivered himself of an
elaborate abolition speech, which occupied the Senate
a part of two successive days. The galleries were
crowded during the time of its delivery with an Im
mense and a greedy audience, made up in large part of
Ma. SUMNxa's own abolition constituents, who had
come on to hear theirgreat man make his great speech.
In the course of that speech, however, he "slung his
slosh" so m:mdly at large as to produce the denouement
we now record.
Our Representative, Ma Baoous, was among Ma.
Senator Suiniza's and-ence, on the second day ; and
it was on this day that SuuNaa, emnptied one of his
vials of vile vitufberation 'on the head of Senator
BUTLER, who was ihen absent at home. As soon am
the speech was done and the Senate had adjnurned,
Ma: Batoogs advanced to SuMNER and deman~ed
some explanation or retraction of his a buse of Judge
BUTLsa; and upon Suurura's refnsal to-accede to
the proposition, our member fell to work tupon him with
a cane he happened to have in hand at the moment.
The beating Is said by all the reporters to have been
a thorough one. Some say he received fifty stripes;
yet we very much doubt If the Captain cared to ex
ceed the legal number of thirty-nine, ustually applied
to scampe. But the beauty and propriety of the pro.
eeding onsists, to no small extent, in tihe fact that
it was accomplished while yet the galleries had not
emptieJ1 themselves, and while many of S UNN~a's
constinents were probably there to lusk upon the deed.
For our own pert, we feel that our Representative did
esgetly right ; and w e are sture his people will com.
Imend hlip htghly for it. We have often heard of a
word in good season, but this is an act in good season.
By the way, the battle'at Lawrence, Kansas, is said
to have been fought only forty-eight hours before ;
and it may be that a pssing bese wafted the spirit 1l
of combat to the Capitol at Washington just in time
for our member to cateh it up and aot out it's promp
tings. Well, we hAve borne..insult long enough, and.
now let the conflict come if it must.
JUDGE BUTLER AND THE CONVENTION.
A remark, said to have been made on a recent oc
casion by Senator Burtaa to Mr. TAssa of Charles
ton is referred to in the last number of the Edgefleld
Informter, and we understand that our name has been .
mentioned as primary authority for time statement. If
so, the Informer's informant has certainly exaggerated
what we said. Mr. Tass a, as we remember the re
mark, said to us at Columbia in the course of a casual
sonversation something to this effect: The last words
Judge Burtia sid to me on leaving Washington the
other day were, that " he was as much opposed to the
ennvention as I was." Thim is precisely our remnem
branee of Mr. T's expression. We cannot call to
mind repeating it three times since it was made to us;',
and we regret that we did mo at all, as , has been
made the topic of a newspaper article.
Judge BUTLEa states to us in subetanne as follows:
Mr. Tausa called on the Judge in Washington cmty
and-so pleased. the latter by his gentlemanly deport
meat that any unpleasant feelings created by the
(then) recent attack of the Mercury upon Judge B. were
in a great usasure removed. When Mr. T. called to
take leave of the-Senator., be did so with cordiality.
The Juadge was at the time looking fbr the hour when
he would be called to take part in a pending debate. cl

.n a few days. During my sir visit to Indianapolis
I attended a large Black Aispublican Convention,
1200 memblers-it was confusioh worse confounded.
Co. LANE, of Kansas, dellyred an address. Of
ourse it did not meet-my ap'j t.-To-day the pas
mngers were edified by a speech, from Mr. BaowN,
Editor of the Kansas Herald 6(Freedom-there was
mothing oflknsive in his retiar'ls. -The party behaved
ery well, though they areJ,eily armed with Colt's
repeaters and rifles. Stilt-ihary go for peacaahble.pur
poses. There are over20 ladies aboardl, atid every

Muasocar Riva. near Lexington, Mo.?
31ay 11th, 1856.
3Ma. Enaroa : Since I last wrote you, we were in.
formed that a Southerner on' hoard a boat ahead of us
had stint some 3 or 4 1Northerners ; also that Gov.
Roatsson had been taken, at Lexington, from a boat
on her downward trip. I have this intetligeice from
the Captain tof said boat, he having spoken tier last
night. BaowN, Editor of the Herald of Freedom, is'
ery much alarmed, and entertains fears of meeting
with tiue same fate at this point. A few mites w ilt
bring us there-a guilty conscience will show itsel f.
[have tearned, to-day, that he is not connected with
this pariy aboard, in any way, and many of ihem fear
he will be the means of liringing' them into trouble.
They all sceem to dread Lexington.-. This party'. in
cttons are to locate lantds anti settle. They all seem
to have an aversion to fightinig; yet it tooks suspici
ous to see so many Colt's repeaters and rifles. On
better acquaintance they seem to be very clever fel
lows. I express my oplinos very freely, but I find
tne disposed to argne.-they alt show a deniciency aof
knowedge as regards slavery. Their views on
lhe subject arm stale and flat. As we are nearing
Lexington I mast close. There will be fighting in
Kanas certain. 'Yours, in haste.
