' TBE lN!OTE AND Tor SOUTH. The ensuing elections in the Northern States are looked to with much anxiety by all conserva tives asfmost likely to determine the question of Union or disunion. The condition of affairs in Congress shows very prominently that legisla tion there is becoming rapidly sectional, and if the Democratic party does not act up to its as sumed obligations tn the present canvass, and the Black Republicans succeed in fixing their influence on the councils of the coufeder.tcy, the Union will terminate. We of the South have long been impressed with the necessity of preparing for the change, and our people are thoroughly satisfied that we have within us the elements not only of exis tenee and strength, but of wealth and greatness as an independent people. Whatever may be the views of the Nyorth we know our position, and are entirely willing to assume the responsi bility if forced upon us. We have no fears on this subject; as a practical fact we are ready for disunion. But while these are our convictions and feel ings, and we constantly have aggression making upon us, on our vital interests and institutions, we are still disposed to forbear the severance if there be any prospect of a continuance in a con federae7 which was framed on a basis of equal rights, and these guaranteed by a written Constitution. We have borne very much, which has brought on farther aggression; but the events whicb have transpired during the past year have brought matters to the point of a settlement by the approaching elections. So far as South Carolina is concerned, she has decided against separate accession, and ste awaits the combined action of her sis'er South. er States to indiente the course which honor and interest require. In common with them, she has taken part in one more effort to unite the Democracy of the whole country North and South, for the defence of the Constitution. In this great effort, she will f,,llow the lead of Vir ginia, in casting her vote for James Buchanan, who whatever may have been his former position. is right now in adopting the p.inciples and pledges which' are satitfactory to the South. What if he formerly held opinions at variance with those he now irofesses-look into the his tory cf our own great statesmen and you will find that their opinions on many vital questions have differed with cireumntances. Tempora enutantur et nos mutamur illis. Policy varies and so do statesmen. in individuale, in cirpora tions, in States, and in Government, circumstan ccs require chanage in the great cause of huan progress. in our present position in politicnl affairs, he. that is not with us is againat us, and those who profess frienidshsip -must show it by acts..- We have a pledge fronrthie' Democracy of the=Unio-, to stand up to -our-principles. We aw ait wth anxiety their redemption of that pledge. By their vote the Democracy of the free States will showv whether union-with them is longer desira ble. If they are true to principle,- we believe our people, whatevertheir wiLlingrness may be for separate independence, are quite satisied to go on-nay would prefer to. continue the con. federacy of their fathers if they can enjoyr its privileges on equal terms with those who are associated with them. ,The Democratic party is the only one which has ever been willing to assume a position satis factory to us. We now look to it with cotnfi dence that it will support the only principles that will save the Union.-South Carolinian. Hox. PREToN S. Baoors.-The Richmond Enquirer in a notice of this gentleman's address to his constituents, says: "It is not easy to understand the embarrass ments of Mr. Brg~oks' position. The act which so suddenly exposed him to public observation, however justified by adequate provocation, ne cessarily associated his namne with ideas of in temperate passion and physical violence, rather than of personal dignity and intellectual power. Yet every one who knowvs Mr. Brooks, will at test the reserve and modesty of his character, his aversion to anything like a ruffian reputation and his chastened aspiration for the fame of a purely intellectual prowess. The chastisement of Sumner left even upon those who applauded the act an impression altogether inconsistent with the only distinction which Mr. Brook3s covets. He had therefore to show by Ihis nub sequent conduct that thougfh of fearless spirit he is nothing of the bully, and thtat he is pos sessed of higher and worthier quatlities than mere physical strength or moral intrepidity. And this vindication too he had to accomplish in the face of every sort of embairasment and obstacle-of friends counselling a timid course or pushing him to desperation-~of a treacher ons foe skulking from fair and equal combat and tying in wait for the mistakes of a brave and generous spirit. " How Mr. Brooks lies borne himself through trials to which no wan in this country was ever before subjected-how he confronted an army of Black Republicans clamoring for his blood by secret stab. or open assault-how he encounter and unhorsed every abolitionist -who ventured to enter the lists against him-how lhe exposed their counterfeit courage, and chased them from the field-with what a brave spirit he has en dured every species 'of obloquy and persecu tion--with what an imperturable self-possession and unerring instinct of judgment he has con trolled his condut--in what terms of stinging scorn and fierce defiance he repelled the censure of a Black Republican majority, and in what eloquent language he vindiented himself and his State from the libels of the cowardly calum niator;-all this is too familiar for repetition in the columns of a Southern journal. It is enough to say, that Mr. Brooks' character and abilities are not now appreciated only, by his intimate friends, but are recognised and applauded by the people of the South; and that the verdict of his constituents on the chastisement of Sum ner, will express the universal sense of this section of the country." DEcIDErLY arCI.--It will be remembered that an arcount of acaning at the Metropolitan Hotel by Mr. Vicks, who -thrashed Stanwood severely, appeared in our columns a few days since. Connected with Mr. Vicks we have a tale to unfold which will m'ake the abolitionists of Philadelphia teel very cheap. It seems that when Mr,. Vicks was about to leave North Carolina in company with Mr. Haywood on a Northern pleasure tour, he was requested by the State authiorities to take with him a negro'who had been sentenced to banish ment from North Carolina for a glaring outrage upon the laws of that Slate. Mr. V. consented and on his arrival at the Hotel in Philadelphia he registered his name Vicks and Servant. Soon after the A bolitionists appeared and used every psaion to induce the negro to abscond: and hinformed Mr. V. that they offered him $50 to rin of. Mr. V. saviced the boy to demand $100.' The amonnt gia paid and the banished negro *ho. wq$Ahlten to the .North to be left there, received ali uefpectedly and is now re siding ainong a class of people altogether worthy hipssoeiation.

The stage from this place to Ocala th is discontinued, and we cannot approximate when it will resume its regular trips. The immense amount of wate;, falling in cas cades, has materially injured the crops. From " Hernando county we hear of some plantations .a being entirely ruined. In some places, the re richest hammock lands, in a state of cultivation, El' have been covered with sand, from 12 to 15 inches in depth, washed from more elevated points ; in others, the fields are submerged, crops G destroyed, and the face of the country cut into ravines; many "sinks" have been caused, as it n were by a convulsion of nature, which would h seem to indicate that we are to be favored with do improved facilities for taking a trip - South"- it some of them being bottomless. in a word, N the heretofore deplorable condition of our citi- "e zens is now rendered almost intolerable-most Bi of our farmers had abandoned their fields, and ne the few that had held out, despite the dangers D which threatened them, were flattering them- w selves over their fair prospects; but, alas! the elements seem to have united with the Semi noles in their conspiracy against the welfare of South Florida, and the only dependence of her fit citizens for sustenance is now rendered futile.

But little money has been sent here for two or three months back. I have hiad sev eral companies to report themselves, and many in dividuals, as ready to take the field and march to open the Msasouri river, to guard the entrance into the Territory by Nebraska. and to be ready to meet atnd repel any attack that might be a ade, or outrage ; but these have been obliged to abandon suich anidea for wv ant of mens to t keep a~party of any size ini the field." WASHINGTON, July 26-One of the grandest schemes for stealing-bold, deliberate stealing- d was introduced into the House to.day, in the *i shape of a resolution for supplying books for g members of Congress. You will doubtless o, remember several weeks ago a joint resolution was paissed by the House of Representatives, giving to the members of the House a large number of hooks of a public character, and it aI will be remembered also by the provisions of ii that resolution, members could receive other al books of their own selection, of those of a val." ue regularly distributed. Now this resolution gives each member about fourteen hundred dn'h. tars worth of books to be purchased, furnished b and delivered by the Clerk of the llouse. Eaich member cant receive if he chooses--and who doubts but that lhe will in lieu of the books. E' two thirds of that amount, fourteen hundred " dollars in cash, by a alight manwuvering with E the Clerk of the House. Therefore, by this " resolution, they put into the hands of Cullomn, b the present Clerk, upward of twenty.five thou. I: snd dollars, and this too. by the Bhack Repub lians. This is the party that is desirous of ma getting into power for the purpose of reforming the government and correcting abuses. Verily this is a good beginning. b ARMY WoatM.-We .have bteen reliably in fored that the Army Worm has made its ap. r pearance in different portions of our distri,:t. h and they are rapidly extending and sweeping n everything before them.

Arnd this, according to our recollection o the matter. continued to be its position up to the date of the Democratic nomination. Immediately uptr the heels of that nomination, it is very certain tha thoM rcury fell into the Democratic ranks as one o the most energetic and ardent supporters of Mr BuciAwA. We say, there was about. it the sem blance of inconsistency. It so occurred to ourself ant others at the time. It so appears to us still. But w( ehvigeno fault upon our cotemporary. It was per fectly right to change. its cue at the very, moment i did; bbcau'e any other course would have been "flat stale and unprofitable." Some have remarked tha the rapidity with which the. Mercury turned the di rection of its fire is best accounted for by the facts that one of its editors was at Cincinnati during thi sitting of the Convention, that he felt and bowed be fore the tremendous outside pressure for the man whi received the nomination, that he was himself, by birth a Pennsylvanian, and was perhaps drawn to old Buct by feelings of ancient neighborhood ; and all that sor of thing. But wee believe the Mercury's course bes explained by these facts: 1st, that it is a most sen sible and patriotic sheet, and 2nd, that true wisdon and patriotism dictated the support of the Cincinnat nomination to every enlightened and unprejudicet Southerner. The Mercury remarks that we are wrong in saying that it ever held, "that the State should meet n Co lumbia to nominate PtEaca and no one else." Wi accept the correction and regret our misapprehension In fact, the observation we penned, and to which thi Mercury objects, was intended as a playful one, ant was certainly Indited currente calamo. It did no occur to us at the moment, as being any cause of pro vocation. And we ate sorry it was so regarded. But there is a supercillious tone in the article reply ing to us, which the Advertiser relishes as little as thi Mercury does our thoughtless inuendo. "No highe ambition" titan to carp at the Mercury! We shouk he sorry to think that this were so in respect to our self. We have a just appreciation of that journal's merits and readily place it alongside of some dozet other papers in South Carolina, as being equal, bu not superior, to any one of them. To imagine though that we look up to it as to an eagle from whose wing it is a glory to pluck an occasional featlier,is supreme ly absurd. And to assume that we have no highe ambition than to pick flaws in the Mercury's mantle only proves that the editor wsho framed the retor knows nothing of our record. To that record we ap peal with confidence, convinced that it will show, ii the last four years, as much of independence, of indus try, of elevated tone and of consistency, as does th Mercury's during the same period. And in this re mark we are, surely, guilty of no especial vanity. TIRE CANVASS. Tus canvass for the Legislature is becoming livel: with us at last. Camp.meetings, musters and barbs ctes are on hand, at all of which the candidates ar decidedly the most notable personages-unless w except the preachers, the captains and the ingun-sas makers. There is no particular issue before the pet vie, except, perhaps, the question of dividing the Dii trict. Some of our candidates favor this measure c policy, while others do not. Whether it will be mad the test qutestion at the ballot-btox, we caninot say because we do not know. It, however, it he made in one part of the District, it ought to be everywhere so that we may arrive at some idea of the real wishe of the people -on the subject. ORATION EXTR AORDINARY.

B. J. BOYD, P. E. 1I. T. Ws alOHT, Secretary. Mount Vernon, August 1st, 1856. For the Advertiser. TO "RICHARD." Sia: The atrocious crime of being the originator of the -Division movement in Edgefield District, which you have charged me with, I shall neither it tempt to palliate nor deny ; but shall merely state, that sometime during the year '52, through the so licitations of some of our best citizens, and in accor dance with my own feelings, I did agitate the ques tion of Division, a thing which I have never re gretted having done since; and to-day, sir, did I really believe I occupied that position in my District, and especially among my division friends, in which you ironically place me, I should be proud of it. But, sir, I treat your irony with that degree of pity and contempt which it deserves. Yes, sir, 1 sin cerely pity the man who can flatter or be flattered ; and I pity him still more if his chief incentive to action in this world is, to give a degree of that mushroom popularity which is often gained without merit and lost without a crime. The man whose little soul can be changed again and again to suit surrounding circumstances like the lizard, to give his fiendish point, deserves only to be ranked with a Judas or an Arnold. But, sir, I will reciprocate: "keep cod, my friend, I must talk to you a little." It is magnanimous in you to censure my friends in your address to me of being deceptive, without pro ducing any evidence of the fact. Are you so un acquainted with real friendship as not to know that I had mach rather you had spoken against me than my friend,, who have stood arm to arm, and shoul der to shoulder with me, in the conflict to obtain our rights? You are certainly a stranger in these parts, just from Ireland, where the affections are said to be cold as well as the weather. The Divi sion party is the most friendly party I have ever seen. The Methodist, the Baptist, the Ma one, and all other orders and sects seem to be swallowed up in this one party. And it is getting to be a strong party too, and we think, ere long, it will predomi nate over Edgefield District. The very men of the Division party, whom you would censure, arc the men who think, speak, and act for the peop!c, and - who will nut crawl at the feet of the aristocracy of the District or of the State, and the people will sustain them. But, " RicuAan," I am afraid you are one of those men that want to make capital of the ruins - of others, or, it may be, that you are a candidate, e or intend to be a candidate, and are sensible of r your defects, and that you are without any real merit of your own ; and that your only ebance to raise yourself, will be to ruin others that are far ahead of you. If this is really the case, and you are a young man, let me admonish you, as a father, to do as Dem.sthenes did : " shave the hair off or a one half of your hcad at 'east, and go into retirement. ;and study hard and think much," until you may be s in a condition to rise to public notice on your own real merits. No man ever has, or ever will, sustain an elevated positioin in society long at a time, who i has beeni raised wvithout real worth, and whose only .t ebar ce for promotion is to' misrepresent others antI e traduce their chatracters. There is no character C mati~deni6hiacal than that of the slandeer..The thief wh-. steals your property is not to be dreaded as the vile slanderer who slanders -yenr character. VBut, "Ricusma," I feel that I am accountable tor my conduct, as well as you, and, next to God, I Shold myself amenable to the peopile of this District Sfor the part I have taken in the Division project a The mian who coumd wantonly disturb the peace of society, without any real cause or prospect of bet tering the condition of the people, deserves to be excluded from that society, rather than be placed in that high pustionl in which you ironically place ine. SNow, most excelent "H i~Cuant," I feel myselt Y happy, because 1 shall answer before you this day. ,to the peopile of the Distriet, for all the things where -of I am accused of the anti-divisionist. In the first place, I verily thought, and still think, that Edgefield is too large fur any one District, and too large to dsit the absolute necessities of the people, many of r thtem having to travel a distance of from thirty to " forty miles to, the Court Ilouse, and to pay the most extravagant bills wvhiist there for boarding. Besides -the fatigue, this is a severe tax on the people, and der burthiensome,. especially on the poor, nmany of If womt are compelled to serve as witnesses, for the State, two weeks at a time, Court after Court, and e theni a catll Court, with..*ut any pay ; and at the Ssame time they are hardly able to keep bread for their children at home to eat. Hundreas and thou t sands of do'lars are paid out annually by the people of this Distriet, that might be saved, was the Dis a trict not miore than half so large as it is-enoughm perhaps to build a Court Hoiuse in one year. But, sir, the people can have but little enjoymnent at their Court.s, and, consequently, lose all the infornmation that is to be gainted at them. It would be useless for me to argue the point in this reply ;every one knows very well, th~at Edgefield ought to be divided. e I amt a Divisionist, because justice, necessity, and benevolence, n!t unite in thme project, and there can te ito reasonable objection to it. I am a Divisionist, because our righits, ineithter in a judicial nor politi catl point, are appreciated as itt other Districts. I amn a Divisionist, because other Districts have been accommiiodated in this matte'r, and we have as good a right as they htave, our District beiing the largest, except onme. in the State. I am a Divisonist, if we never get a divison, b. cause it is our right, and the nan who e:mn sufTer his r ights taken away from hinm .or trampled uponm with impunity, withonut an effiort c to secure thmema, is a slave. I fully concur with tg poet, ui ho says: " w'If naught but purpose in thy power is, n Thy purpose firm, is equal to the deed." o I have thus given my reatsonms for bieing a Divi. e ionist, in a bref manner. I am before the people, but not a candidate for any office within the gift of the people. I am with the Division party heart and soul, but feel myself inferior to many in that party, in point of physical, intellectual and scientific abili. Sties. lIit were not for my bal htealth, Edgefield District would bo tou small for me ;I would attend our Legislature and inmportune, beg, and entreat for eour rights. The very name of Big Saluda brings ic along with it something grand a'nd imposing, and inspires us with hopes that it is destined to be a great place. We are now building a Church nearth spot where thte immortal Btrrtea reposes, who has been neglected by the District and the State; and 'ere long, we expect to build a Court House that ' shall be' the name of our hero, who won for him self and liis State immortal hotnor, and who, though wounded and imniaciated wvih disease, fell before his men, leading them to the charge at the battle of Churubuseo. Saludians will be at their post in all cases of emergencI. Our standard is raised, out . banner unfurled, a few more rounds and Jerico will r-fall. JOSEPh GRIFFITH. Coz.. BR OOKS' EL.ECDON-We observe in the Wishingtmfi Star a statement that Col. Brooki dhad six votes againsat him.

This bodypas erbledria ree'dilledaMt O3' '' urday, and oar. town has been filled with the distinguished clergymen of.that denomination for several days past. Sunday morning, Pro fessor Farman preached the Commencetit d' mon, in the' nte Court House. it wad a es tiful and appropriate discourse on the jppal re. sponsilility -of man. The young men of the University may. well profit by what the1rP4' r' fessor said on that occasion.. The stvile of'the discourse, we thought most chaste ana finl4sed. In the evening, Rev. Mr. Manley, formerPresi dent of the . Alabama University, .presebed wm missionary sermon before the . Young )eit'47 Missionary Society, in the new Court House. There was an immense concourse of persbns present, and many had to go off .who-conlItna get seats or room to stand In! The sermoniri ," was over an hour and a.half long, and was lis. - tened to with breathless interest. It was truly a noble and learned discourse, and had the'ii t effect, coming, as it did, from so venerable a' man in appearance and character.: We admire the sentiments expressed on the subject of mis sions very much. He said that we ha4Awide. field for missions at home, in.thesaUnited St4ue.a _ and it should be.frst ocejpied. :Weshould n# step over a brother to, carry the gospelto.a stranger. In regard to our duty to fore gner's, who were coming to our shores to seek religious and civil liberty, his remarks were peeuliady jii and felicitous. They contrasted nobly with the' narrow, unjust, unchristian, unpatriotic and in hospitable sentiments of Know Nothingism. At night we attended the. Methodist Church; - which was, together with the Presbyterian Church, thrown open to the Baptist ministers, and heard a very brilliant discourse 'fr6m i. " Kendrick, on the evils of sin. This genitlemin ' is regarded as one of the firet Baptist-pre'eher '' in the State, and has charge of achuroh in Chara ' lesten. We were greatly pleased with hisser. .' mon. It was eloquent, brilliant, and his figures - and illustrations were peculiarly happy and., touching. In regard to the new Court House, in which we heard two sermons, on Sunday, we can say, we were never in a building' of that size where sound seemed to be conveyed so distinctlfe We took our seat purposely in the extreme en'd'of. the building, and, heard every word . that a said, in the mild calm tone of Professor Furman. - -Greenville Patriot and Mountaineer.

Prof. Carlisle, of Wofford Col. lege, Rev. H. H. Durant, of this place, W..B.. Carlisle, of Charleston, and Judge O'Neall, were the speakers upon the occasion. The speech of Prof. Carlisle was a masterly effort in behalf of Temperance, and was listened to with the deep est interest by the large assembly. 'He is coin. p:ratively a young man but unquestionably one of the brightest intellects of the State, and des.. tined to shine with no ordinary splendor in her galaxy of great men. The dinner prepared fur the occasion, was also something superlatively fine, and quite in keeping with the hospitality 'of lie people; Greenwood never fails in what ahi' if~tipts" The festivitites were to close with a supper, but we could not stay to partake of that,. as buai-." ness called us away.-Abbeville Banner. -- = - A DUEL.-The correspondence in relation to a late meeting b.tween the editor of the Eve ning News, John Cunningham, osq.. and the act ing editor of the Standard, J.

A fter an exchange of shots, without injur-y to. eihher party, Mr. Taber, on the part of Colonel. Cunnaingham, repeated his demand for retraction,. which Mr. Lord, on thie part of.

Add to this about a million and a half. more embraced in the defieiency bill passed not long since, and the aggregate expense attenidintg ite maintenance of our army for tw elve months is nearly fourteen millions otf dolkars.

The proba bility is that somte of these sums may be very materially lessened, but it is not likely that the aggregate will be reduced below ten millions of dollars. ' WEsTPHALiA IIAM.--Barry and Patton, of San Francisco, the proprietors ofr a celebrated saloon in that city, recently had a piece of petri tied wood presented to them whlich exactly re semble'd a ham.

" That," saidMar titt, " is a W~es failure, (Westphalia.") ' The' Colonel asked alt hands up, and acknowledged the sell." e WV. D. POR TE R, in the New York Herald, points out. a new wvay to discover murderers. He says: The following method will, in many cases, de tect the perpetrators, of a murder: It is well known that all objects are actually painted or impressed on the retina of the eye. Should a person die by a violent death, the object before the eye, at the time, remains impressed on the retina. If the covering of the eye is scraped down thin, and a powerful magtnifying sglass applied, this image will be distinctly seen. This was the first discovery of the daguerreotype.' Any scientifie physician can do this. GREEN CoaN (.SE.ET.-The following re ceipt for this seasonable delicacy is said to be excellent: Grate the corn from twelve ears of corn boiled, beat up five eggs, stir, them with the corn, season with pepper and salt, and ftry' the mixture brown, browning the top with a hot shovel.
