NO.L "To do that," (that Is, to resist the ant-slavery ag gressionofafixed majority of non.slaveholding States,) 'concert of action must be necessary-not to save the Union, for is would be then too late-but to save ourselves. *Thus, is my view, concert Is the one thing needful."1-J. C. Ca ogoun. Apart frem* the authority of the great name of the revered patriot and statesman who left it as a part of his dying legacy to his beloved South, the obvious truth of the above proposition eom. manda universal assent. Just as indisputable would appear the kindred proposition, that bar-. mony, unanimity, a common sentiment and a common purpose, here among ourselves in South Carolina, are of the last importance in the pre sent crisis. Does not madness, then, rule the hour when those pretending to direct and guide the public mind with a view to effectual resis tance, purie a course calculated to distract-and divide ? Can it be supposed that "concert of action" in the Southern States is promoted by assuming that; outside of South Carolina, there is no sound Southern sentiment I Or that har mony and united counsels are beat secured at home by arrogating to the members of a minori ty party, defeated on a past issue, all the widom, all the virtue, all.the patriotism, and more than all the valor Of the South? Is " concert of action" among our sister States hastened by denouncing the truest a.nd best and ablest of her publid men-men who, though they may not fit the inexorable Procrustean bed of certain of our friends, are yet manifestly in advance of -the people they represent? What possible good can come of arraigning the mo tives and characters of those of our own citi zens whose only offence consists in having de ferred to the example of the fourteen other slave holding States, by uniting with them in the nomination of a Presidential candidate approved by all, and warmly advocated, by those-who are fiercest in denouncing the net of nomination ? Is South Carolina to be made a unit by an at tempt to instil into the publie mind distrust and suspicion of those whose very position proves them the representatives of the prevailing senti ment of the. people- In what school of human nature has it been taught hat a defeated minori ty may successfully conciliate-nay, make fol. lowers and sub-ordinate co-workers of-the ma jority which beat them,'by indulging. in inces sant jibes, and jeers, and sneers, and parading a self-compla-ent assumption of superior sagacity and courage in the very subject matter of the contest which has endedE The " co-operation ists" of 1851, who-constituted the majority of the people, and became the State, and spoke its mandate, are not conscious of inferiority in de votion to the cause of the South, in patriotism, in purity of purpose, in courage, or in sagacity, when compared with tie brothen who advoeii ted the seperate secession -'of South Carolina. They believe that "Cheves, Butler, Barnwell, Chestnut, and many-others are individuals whose lives have pr6Ved them as high toned, courage ous, and patriotic, and certainly an sagacious as any of the very best of-the worthy gentlemen who advocated separate secession. And, in the oninion of the coep gn.i - th'egnt ass pbrtyunien enjoiyits owvn conitions of right, and its own self.gratulations -in as full measure a it~please, butt let us hate- done with sneers and taunts and "damnable inundos." Never was harmony and unanimity secured by means like these. The self-righteous Pharisee, who thanked his God that hie was "not as othier men," made himself as offensive to his fellow-men, over whom he assumed this superiority, as to the God whom he thus irreverently approached. I would not provo'ke controversy. If there are any to whom my remarks maiy aeem.to point, it is their own conduct which makes the appli cation. If my remarks in fact apply to none " then none have I offended." For one I am willing to set down the past to excess of zeal, but in all kindncss would say " reform it alto gether." In the name of common sense and of common honesty, let not those who really be lieve "cotncert the one thing needfull," like the porcupine, fret fully point their quills at friend and roe. Above all, let us have no exrclusir-eness in potriotiem. Make it a free thing, and allow even the repentant sinner to return. I shall in another number, however, endeavor to show that no party, hitherto existing iti this State, has occupied a position inconsistent with ':oncert, harmony and united actiotn in the impending crisis.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-The market exhibits no new feature, the quotations being steady, and the demand fair. The following are the quotations :-Fair Orleans, 7ijd.; Mid dling Orleans, 6 3.8.; Fair Mobiles, 6ijd.; Fair Uplands, 6td. Out of the sales, Speculators and Exporters have taken 13,000 bales. The Imports since the departure of the last steamer, amounts to 14,000 bales. The London Times has a leader on the sus pension of the Rtoyal British Bond. It consid ers that the bank has broken in a most disgrace ful manner. The scantiness of remarkable events which has characterized French politics for some time still prevails. The Emperor's sojourn at Blanitz, which was to end on the 10th of September, will be extended to the 1st of October. Commercial letters from Paris state that the business of the past week was very quiet, and without change. Parisan manufactures were dull of sale, but considerable activity is expec ted in all descriptions by the end of the month or 1st of October. In the Corn trade the late numerous arrivals at Marseilles had caused hol ders to abate their pretensions, and prices were declining. The latest telagraphic advices from Spain con tain. nothing of peculiar interest. It states that the Cabinet is unanimous, and possesses the entire confidence of the Queen. Gen. Aleson has been named as Command ant-General of the Phillipine Island. The Madrid journals contain the official justi fications of the decree by which the Cortes have been dissolved. The Ministers declare t hat this assembly has overstepped the limit.. of its pow ers, and that it has behaved regardless of the restrictions which were originally put upon its ma-adate by the decree of the convocation. The price of Corn is falling in Madrid. The intervention of Austria in the contest be tween Prince Daniels of Mlonteuegro, and the Turks is talked of as impending. To the an nonnent of the display of the military force on the Montenegrin frontier, which has been re solved upon at Vienna,- we have now to add the assertion of a German paper:-That instructions for an immediate diplomatic interference with the Sultan have been sent to the Austrain am bassador at Constantinople. A boat from the ill-fated emigrant ship Ocean Home, has been picked up, containing Edward Harvey, the second mate, Frederick Snow and Jamec Managhan, seamen, and one passenger name unknown.

The three Regiments of our District have just un dergone their annual reviews. The citizen soldiery were out in full force, and nothing occurred during 'the week to mar the discharge of their duties. Can didates were busy. A vast deal of hard electioneer ing was done. A large quantity of the 'bald-faced' was consumed. Many votes were lost and saved. Now for Court week-then the polls-then the counting of the votes-then the announcement of the successful coursers-then the chagrin of the defeated -then the curses of disappointed friends-then the -h-bt why pursue the chaini GOODS IN ABUNDANCE.

If our readers wish to know where to get good things of various kinds, liquid as well as solid, let them call on Mr. WuLLraM LEOG, at his new estab lishment adjoining Sullivan's store. They will find it full of fine, fresh articles in the grocery line, al. just arrived from Charleston. Among other things, we may mention some extra-good old brandy, anda plenty of fine whiskey, which can be had by the guari or the gallon, just as a man's cask or inclination may suggest. We have the opinion of some excellent judges upon both of these article., and we hesitate not to say, they may be relied on as genuine. Then you will find there many other choice-ities-coffee, sugar, fresh-salmon, sardines, lobsters, soda-biscuit, candies and the like. We are glad to learn that Mr. LxEo intends making arrangements for fresh fish from the Chtarleston fish-market during the winter. This will afford a rare chance now and then, for a good dish, of which many will gladly avail themselves. In short, every body ought to be delighted that Mr. LEGG has opened ; and, to exhibit that delight in a right way, call in and trade a " V" wvith him the next time you pass that way, just to showv that you appreciate his institution. JACKSON STREET HOSPITAL, OF AU GUSTA. This excellent establishment is now in a condition of prosperity and real usefulness, truly gratifying to all friends of humanity. The Mzssas CAMP'BELL are eminently capable of conducting such an institution to a high order of merit. This they have already proved, in the short history of their Hospital. Calcu lated as it is to work out much benefit to our section, it deserves the consideration of every reflecting good man.

G1 OOMUNICATIONS. ei A DESERVED TRIBUTE. The following tribute to the memory of JAMU P Tzaxy, Esq., fbrmerly of this District and late of Alabama, is from the pen of one who knew him well, who was a cotemporary and intimate friend of the deceased, and whose estimate of character is seldom ti wrong. The writer requests us to look over the piece rt and add anything we may think proper. But after a, perusing it, we are persuaded that its terseness and a, simplicity are exactly in taste for a notice of the kind; b and we have, therefore, refrained from altering or , adding a word. With a hearty concurrence in the ti sentiments of esteem and regret therein contained, we ti give the piece as it was set to ua: a] TAKES TERY, EQ. This worthy gentleman, who died at Mt. Sterling, El in the State of Alabama, on the 21st day of July last, i was a native of Edgefield District, So. Ca. He was ti born on Turkey Creek, on the &I day of July, 1796. There are many considerations which should give 0, his memory a place in the hearts of his countrymen. h He gave to his native District this distinction : He g was one of two of her native sons who obtained the fc first honor of his class on his graduation in the South fg Carolina College; and he exemplified and united in 1i an eminent degree, through life, modesty and merit; A and we fear it may be said they were not appreciated as they should have been. The deceased was born of respectable parents, of a class of persons who exercised a beneficial inlu ence on the primitive society of their time, and whose example, in many respects, might well be followed noiv. Avoiding debt, they lived on. the resources of Rome; and, by industry and intelligent economy, a they made adequate provision for the education of their children. James, the subject of this notice, was the elder son, and was liberally educated. In his t boyhood, he was placed at an Old Field School, andp there received the rudiments of his education. These a schools, by learned criticism, are sometimes associated s1 with the derision of old fashioned 'pedagogues. But ) they had many merits to recommend them ; and it p may be remarked of te, whtCicero said of some of the primitive institutionis of Rome, " The study of them is recommended by him as equally pleasant and p instructive-they amuse the mind by the remembrance f of old words and the portrait of ancient manners- 5 hey inculcate the soundest principles of government t and morals, and, In genuine value, they surpass thet chapters to the history of their country, commenced their educeation in old field schools.t In 1813, Mr. Tzaav became both the pupil and as. sistant of his cousin, Mr. William Wash, who had charge of an Academy in Edgefield Village. The pu- r pil became strongly imbued with a taste and desire for the pursuits of literature; and in 1816 and 1817, lheh became an assiduous pupil under the instruction of Mr. Armstrong, who took charge of the Edgefield Academy; and whose reputation as a teacher and e master may well be cherished by many who profited C by his instruction. In the summer of 1818, Mr. Arm- e strong was compelled, from other duties and the state of his health, to give up his school, which was large, and composedl of those who have attained high dis- ~ tinction. By the request of the Trustees the institu tion was committed to the charge of Mr. Terry and his friend, A. P. Butler. I In 1819, Mr. Terry entered the junior class of the South Carolina College ; and in 1820, he graduated ~ with the highest honor of a class which numbered 2 in it many gentlemen of distinction. Among others, and one who had awarded to him the 2d honor, was Richard Yeadon, who has earned tihe reputation of a distinguished writer and lawyer. After his gradua. .o tion, the subject of this notice studied law in the office ai of Simkins & McDuffie ; and, when admitted, became o the partner of the latter gentleman. The partnership fi continued until Mr. Terry was elected Commissioner ft in Equity. Some of his reports as Commissioner, es pecially one, both copious and luminous, presenting the, facts and questions involved in the great Hamburg case, have been spoken of with high commendation by some of the Chancellors who were called on tod consider the reports and give judgment on them. Mr. Terry had an uncommon aptitude for the ac quisition or knowvledge, and was both clear and accu rate in the details of his Information. Perhaps he wanted the address which captivates the pnpular mind ; with modest deportment he made little eflort to shir,e, but he had a truthful mind, a kind temper, I and a uinicere disposition. In the domestic circle and tt in the relations of friendship, he exhibited his true h qualities. He married Miss Mary Hutchison, of ti Augusta, Ga., a lady of taste and varIed accomplish ments. They had born to them many children, who may well regard the reptutation of their father as a ti rich heritage. His precept and example are calcula- el ted to inculcate lessons to improve the heart and en- S lighten the mind. Next to the hope of reaching a in better sphere of existence after death, is to leave the is earth with a good teputation. The deceased was a hi member of the Episcopal Church ; and in a sincere di piety, he had an abiding hope of happiness beyond the graveR For the Edgeflieldl Advertiser. 01 THE BBTHLEHEX EX.AMNATION, pe Ma. EDITr: Allow me to write a few lines in re gard to a very interesting school examination, which came off at the Bethlehem Academy, in this District, a not long since. A school numbering some 80 or 90 m pupils, is a matter of great importhnce, in the estima- ~ tion of once who looks with anticipation to the proper improvement of the rising generation. Such is the young but flourishing school of which I now write; and it is to be hoped that the system of education will rise so hIgh, in the estimation of the people, that itsr progress will never stop untill thei is a good school g built up in every neighborhood, free of charge, so that all classes and of every grade shall be enabled to ob tain a good common education. jui This school is under the watchful supervision of Mr. we ZACUARARa WatoulT, a teacher well qualified to dis- - charge the noble and honorable calling which he has an chosen. The day of the examination was Indeed very un pleasant-the dark and rainy looking clouds that bi covered the axure sky, caused many a sad counten- a ance, but, notwIthstanding the dampness of the day, t a large company of ladles and gentlemen were present on the occasion. ht A bout one o'clock a feast was spread and dinner di was announced and we neyer witnessed a more sum. tous affair in the annals of pic-nics.

Holmes, a political clergyman of the black fusion party, and one of the 3000 who signed the blasphemous protest to Congress, has recently seduced-and absconded with a girl of sixteen, the only daughter of a poor widow, leaving his wife and two children in destitute circumstances. This is the twelfth case of se duction and ruin of young girls, or running away with other men's wives by these political priests who signed the protest. PAUL STILLMAN, an enyloyee in the New York Novelty Works, died last Tuesday, from the effects of wearing tight boots. He had them on his feet only two hours. Mortification set in, which made amputation necessary, and utter prostration of the symtem followed. ANoTHER PRIZE FIGHT.-A. steamboat called the C. T. Clark, left Brooklyn at an early hour Thursday morning, loaded with vagabonds and ruffians of every grade, bound for Fort Wash ington, about ten miles up the North River for the purpose of having another prize fight. The names of the boxes are Lynch and Kelley. The contest lasted two hours and fifteen minutes, and at the end of eighty-four rounds Lynch was declared the victor, Kelly having slipt and fell so heavily as to be unable to come up to time. The contest is described by a party who witnessed it as one of the severest that has even taken place in the American ring. Lynch was shockingly bruised about the face, and had his eye cloned on the sixth round. He also received several internal injuries, and last night there were ru mors of his death. The fight was for $300. ONE-TENTH OF A SECOND FRoM DEATE.-i will be remembered that the.Rev. Mr. Sellwood, of the Episcopal Church, missionary to Oregon, was in the Panama massacre, and reported among the dead. In a letter just received from him he says that he received four wounds, and Is disfigured for life. His narrow escape fron death is thus described. " After I had recovered, and previous to leay. ing the Hospital, one of my medical attendanti said to me: " I look upon your escape as a ni rale; the ball passed so near the heart, that I most have passed at the instant of its contrae tion, for had it passed at its- expansion. yol must have been killed. Just the one one-tenti of a second made all the difference in your casi between life and death." CHINA PEA.-Our good friend, Ass W. Aller Esq., has presented us, says the Coosa (Ala. Argus, with a stalk of the " China Pea," a net variety in this region. It is of very prolifie yield as the specimen before us is superabundant, supplied with its fruit, as well as heavily lade with nutricious foliage.. We think this specie of the pea better suited for the use of cattI than any thing of the kind, that .we have eve seen, while it is also an excellent article for tabl use. For manuring land, too, it must be inval uable, as its leaves are much more numeron than those of the cotton plant. THERE are in the United States one hundre thousand students.
