MonAGNE Esq., as Vice-Presidetnt; anid of Mr. H. *Rur-us DEAN, as Secretary and Treasurer. Several additional nmembers were vuted in, and a new spirit of'industry was manifested. The committees on Lectures, Diebates &c., propose nnow to go to work in~ -earnest, and we doubt not their effecttng rntch for the instruction anad entertainment of our commnutnity. Mr. PAUL.. H. RJAYNE antd Dr. ALtDEnT G. 3IACKCAY are expected soon, to deliver lec.?ures; while the Presi. dent of the Asso- maton himself has co'ienated to opetn the home lectures of te ILyceum at an early day. He will of cour se he followed by other gentlemen of lite rary taste and acquiremen's, of wihom Edgefield cat certainly boast as goodly a number as anay other back woods town. In the meantime, the Thespians will soon be hard at wvork again. Several plays are about to be cast; and several professional anal amateur play ers are expected from Charleston to assist in the per. formances of February. The plays now in prospec are " Retributon," " Evadne," " rTe Hunchback,' "Rough Dtamond," " The Miorning Call" &c. Which wvill come first, we are not prepared to say. We merely throw out the mention of these, by way of showing the public that our Thespians are still un der the spur of exertion for its amusement and edifi cation. .A TWELVEMIOXTH'S PLEDGE.

The New York Herald, remarking ott the gayety and " fast" livi:ag of the citizens of the commercial metropolis, says : After the holidays come the saturnalia of the fash iontable world, which gue up to Lent. - The great prosperity of tt e coumntry and the comparative ease with which sharp busimess men obtain wealth-or the showv of wealth-which is just as good as long as it lasts-has its natural effect upon th~e womlen, who are more extravagant thtan ever. Crinoline expataos and extends its iorders until two ladies fill up the width of a drawing-room, mnd robe-s are lengthetned until the paee Is daily swept with the richest and stiffest moire cantique. In the gay world jeu edry has gradually been geinag out for three or four season., buit the money once itvested in diamornds is now expended in dress goods, which are growing more rich, moure elaborate and more expensive every year. Your fash ionable lady's mental powers are constatntly taxed to the utmost to know what shte shall wear, while her hnaband's business capabiliti-s final full scope in hisi effo~rts to raise the money to gratify herexaravagan~ce. *Her ambition I,. to out-do some one else-to wear a dress or a set of laces which cost a great deal moare money than those of her dearest friend, whon is throwtn into convulsions of envy when the figure is mention ed, end to give a part, which so crowds her house that every body is continually treading on everybody else's toes After speaking at some length on the extravagant style of dress, parties, and various private amuse mentU, thte Herald says: - Gambling has become a fashionable vice, and has extended to the ladies. In all the clubs, play, though forbidden by rule, runs high; and we have heard of one where the aristocratic amusement of " poker" being tabooed, thae amateurs at that athletic exercise met in a secret place detached from the main estal,. -lihment. There sre, it is said, very exclnsive gam bling places where women play at the French games which har e ruinaed some of thes richaest ladies in Paris. Notwithstandling all t he eff;.rts to suppress gambling in thiielnetroapoli5, it increases privately and public-ly[; and thiis ficet Is the only answer that can be made to the oftern repeated inqulitry as to where does all the money go to,.

The pree-nt genaeration~ h~ids fair to exceed a., frivolity and certrag taa.ce atny abait haas ever preceded it ciice the founadatiot of the republic. Let it not be forgotten that the efrminacy of a people Is the sagest forertn uterf tste deony of a nation."' SCHEMES AND CONJEeTURES. The battle of the Presidential election having gone by, leaving a comparatively calm-field, the political acumen of ihe country is keeping itself employed (as usual) with schemes and conjectures of every grade and complexion. Of the schemes nfloat, one of the most important in appearance is that of Senator TooMBs, of Georgia, in relation to the taxation by the Southern States (each of course for herself) of any or all such com modities from without their borders as are not import ed immediately into their own marts. The Senator cor.templates, by this process, the establishment of direct trade, with its many advantages, and the en riching of our State Governments. Bnt others con tend that such enactments would operate tyrannical ly, inaemuch as Southern merchants (who are pre sumed to he the best judges in-snch matters) prefer the present mode of obtaining their goods, through the great port of New York, to any more direct road of importation ; and that, ergo, it is not better for our people that direct trade he established by a prohibition upon all other channels. While there is some ri-azon in this objection of expediency, it is yet to be denied that the past practise of Southern merchants is a fair criterion by which to estimatethat expediener. Long habit has acou-stomed them to regard importa tionq. via New York, sufficient for all their mercan tile ends and gnd enouh for all purposes of South ern economy. Whatever may be the additional cost incnrred. by reason of the State and Municipal taxes of New York, the merchant does not lose it. It be comes a part of the price of his merchandize and upon which he markes as much profit as though, at that price, lie hiad imported his goods direct. It is the consumer who sustains the injury, and no one else ; and the consumer, properly enlightened, is the man to determine the expediency of the proposed change upon its correct grounds. While, therefore, we de mur to this manner of objection to the scheme of Col. Toomas, we are not prepared to say how much better (if any, in the present condition of things) direct im portation woull prove to be than the present mode of receiving foreign goods, through the manifold facili ties of New York enterprize. A broader and a bra ver scheme than that of Senator Toomas is visible through the policy of Free Trade, already foreshadow ed as a part of the American Democracy'l future creed. Still, the honorable Senator's plan is striking, and there may be more in it than some are willing to admit. It is a very good thing to think about at all events, in the absence of anything better. Another of these vacation-schemings is purely anti democratic, and has keen engendered by the belief that the Democratic party must in a short time fall to pieces upon the slavery question. It is said with great confidence by the man-uverers of this strata gom, that the Northern Democrats do not mean to stand up to the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska hills, and that the party will split upon this rock of dissnsion. Whig, Know Nothing and Abolition pa pers and politicians are catching at the idea with the avidity of drowning men, and we regret to see a few journals in the Democratic ranks lending their assent to the proposition. From the evidence thus far ad dnced, the whole idea would appear to be but the figment of dreamers. Before it can become a reality, the greatest party that has ever battled for the Right in any country, must prove recreant to the essential elements of its strength. It must turn upon that Constitution, which has been the basis of its power. anl trample its sacred folds into the dust. It must renounce its greatexponents or the past-its JEFFER soX, its J.tcsos-, its CALtnoUN, its DALLAS. ye, and its BUCtANAN too--and consent to fraternize with the co-adjttors of sich men as GREE.Y, and GA aAsoN, and SuUm ca. We are not willing to indulge, for a moment, thte thought of so infamous a back-sliding. Our source of Hope. nowe, is the pillar of fire which leads on the great Democratic column. Until that fire is extinguished, we are of those wvho regard these pre-dictions of a Democratic overthrow with increduli ty, if not with scorn. Othier schemes are talked of. EEP' Thmeanne.ration of Cuba is nto I at present among them ! ! T hat of re(opening the Slave Trade did not qutite grow into the -dimensions of a s cheme. The Pacific Ratilroad scheme is fihtatinig tin in a mist. An excellent scheme si on foot to make a newv Slave State out of New Mexi co. Thtese and a few others, not forgetting the vari ons ." Spkendidl Lottery Scheme.," at present occupy the extensive mind of brother Jotathan. Of the class of conjectures, the most notable have peculiar reference to the incoming Adlministration. Who is to be Secretary of State ? who, of War ? who. of the Treasury? who is to be the occupant of this, that and the other post of honor, or of profit? whlo is to be minister to the Conet of St. James ? who, to France ? or Russia ? or to Blelgium? whto, consul to Havanai who, to Liverpool, the richest berth of them all ? various are thme conjectures on all these puiints of ititerrogatiomn. Curiosity is on the wing frtgn mortnirng till tnighot, anid Ingennmity is put to her otmost stretch to tdicover thte correct answer to each enquiry. The otnly one matter all seem to agree about, is that Senator CAss is to be Premier. As to the rest, smrmises are as plenty and as dlissimilar as the tbirds otf the Truopics. Each Quidntunc has his gness, wvhiich lie is pleased to call a strong probahmlity. Washington letter-writers (a small hireling brood at the best !) talk with the most impudent confidlence nhott the appmintmetnts, ench one hinting significanthy that hois informatiort is from the best possilue sotirces andl may be relhed on. And yet eaeho ouie of these best possible sources spouts ftrth a different set of namues. Of course it is all pure conjecture, madle up fromn street-corner conversatiotns. Old Bnck, we have no dotnht, wvili keep lois own counosels until the proper time for layitng the result thereof before theo Union. We ha~ve confidence that hiis oelectionts wvill be made with a view to the best intrests of thec whole country. We believe he will gather around him such meon as will formi, by thme combination of their genius ando patriotism, a bulwark for thec Constitution against which time muddy waves of turbulenice will dash in vinit. Whether Siouth Carolina, Virginia or Georgia, Illinois, Michigan or Penmnsylvania are to he compli muented with places oir nut, is a secondasry considera tion. rThe first great desideratum is, that thme Federal appointments be made from among thtose who deserve time high apopellation of American statesment; who have been educated in thoe school of theConstitution, and whose powers of judgment and thought are fully rirmed and mattured. It is such men alone, who can properly meet the pemoditng crisis in American affairs antI disappoint the expectations of those, the wide worlod over, who secretly hiope to witness thie disrup tion of our Government andI the downfall of'Republi can liberty. And if the confidence of the American people has not been widely misplaceod, suchl will be the cast and complexion of the cabinet anti ministeri ai agencies of JAMEs BUCH~AN's admintistratiotn. SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURIST. It will toe seen, by reference to the hate proceedings otf the Executive Committee of thme State Agricultural Society, that this journal has been disconttinued. In seems that it was niot r aying expenses atod was con sidered too heavy a drag upon the purse-string of the Association. This is to be sincerely regretted. We had just begun to appreciate our Agriculturist, when lo ! it is stopped. The management of the pubh lication, too, was jiust bteginning to show its strength amid ability, when the laborer looked back and drop. ped his plow-handles. Instead i-f this, wve really thintk that agenits should have been appointed in every District to collect the dues of the office and enlarge the paper's circulation; that rio reasontable expense shoould have beeni spared to make the Agriculturist a finished journul; that Col. Suuxa should have been inoduced to renew his masterly efforta waithi m.t creased zeal; that M~r. R. .J. GAGE shouldl have been added to the editorship; and that South Carolina farmers should have been comfelled, by the beauty arnd excellence of this Associational organ, to corns tip to its support in batalions. True, ihis is all easier said thtan done; and perhoaps the Executive. Com mittee, with the facts before their eyes, have decided for the best. To Col.

PIcxzss DISTRICT, S.., Jan. 5, 1857. Ma. EDITOR: It is argued by me that man is by nature a fick!e being. But the writer of this desultory epistle can never be induced tosubveribe to that opinion. If mankind areio fond;.of change -not silver change-as some authors would have us believe, why is it that we havto tear ourselves away, as it were, from the aqoeuations of sweet friendship? 'Ihe trees, beneathbose shade we have often rested, the ripplingstreamlets, with wh-se waters we have o'ten bihed the feverish brow, the landscape whose enfrancing beauty we have often cont(mplated-even these, and other inanimate objects, find a place in-our affections, and we cannot leave them without' a feeling of regret. Ilaving just left " Old Edgefield' for a season, after a residence of six years in the sqne neighborhood, of course I feel what I s'y. The Greenville & Columbia Rail. Road has cer tainly been beneficial to this p6rtion of our State. The spirit of improvement pervades all classes of society in every neighborhond. There is no wis taking the signs of the times hrie ; the people are full of animation, hope and energy, whilst onward and upward seems to be their motto. The pr'ee'of land and other property has run up amazingl3w th In the last eight or ten years. For Instance, a river plantation In the South Western part of Pickens, which brought only two thousand do!lars in the full of 1E47, was sold sometime last year for the sum of six thousand dollars. Schools are numerous and well attended. The magnifleont scenery of the mountains, and the fertility of the valleys are now properly appreciated.

Truaths whmich hatve been stuppressed, caretled. abaused and dishonored, under the assumptions of~ royalty, for so liant a time, and amosg all natioins, atre notw spriinging tup withi more than t heir original vigor, fully armed and prepared to contend for thme right. Colli.,ions have beena heretofore pire cipiitated, and atlwntya to thme adlvantage of an invelerate fese, anud it mny be so again ; bumt when the~ oppressed of Eu~rope make another effoirt, we believe that the probabilities will be in their favor. The dispute between Prussia and Switzerland in regard to then sovereignty of Neufehatel, has, thns fiar, aittractedi little notice on our part, buit it is one that may yet assumn -.n imiporltnee in terior to none of' recent oetnrrenlee. Swizer lanid may yet bo the theatre of ai greatt struggle bet ween the stupendous antagoismsUi of the amge. Th.e volenno is not extinct, but only aleeping, and a spark w ill suflice to put ailt hurope ini a blaze. The revoluiiionary- elements in H ungary, in Italy, in Frane and even Spain, wanit but little to stir them inato activity. In this way the position of Prussia'and the powers that sympa thize witih her, ini respect to Switzerland, is pe euliarly interestinag. Full of stirring energy and pregnant with vast results, we shall watch its daily utnfoldings with feelings more sensitive thain ever to the iluLctuaItions of the scene. It is not fair men to penetrate thme future, but Switzerlatnd may yet be arrayed againut that 1-ery itncarnation of despotism, with whtose nyer throw absolute paower mtay be swept forever from the arenm of civilization. Thme despotisms of Europe tare~ not and can never be within the reatch of Amerienn sympathy ; but' out people, living as they do, ini the full blaze of popular liberty cannaot be indiflferentt to the struggles of' the oppressed. Hlow-thatt interest shall become an operatire and vital elemetnt is a pregnant questiont. Th'e race of William Tell is not extin. Switzerland has her patriots. We are told thit the councils of JBerne and Thurgan use thme lan guage of defiance towards Prtussiat. Onme of her leaders declared that bwitzerland '- would not shrink fronm snerizicing all her omen rather thtan yield to .unjust demands." Another declared that thu "'hour of trial will soon be here ; tdo not let us be afratid, but neither let us neglect to be watchfuil. May our country, when the-mo menl :arrives, fintd her sotns, withmout distinction of panrty, r'edy to make the greatest sacrifices withouut bravado." This is thme language of men who know their true position, and are resolved Should Louis Najoleon ally hiimself with Prussia, in her crusade .against -Switzerland, it will-be an netof'the basest, blackest ingriaitude. And yet, the indications are strong that he-may do so. We have -not forgotten, the world should never fdiget, tha.t Switzerland gavean lAVnium and home, and protection to this same Liui4 Napoleo'n -in' the- days of. his adversity. We have not forgotten. that when the Govern. ment of Louja Philippi threatened Switzerland because it uffurdcd an asyluin to Louis Napoleon after lie hnd -become tnd outcast, branded and proscribed as' a revolutimist and traitor, the Swiss Goveriuuunt -remained firm, and -refused w ith hersie b'o4iness, either. tosurrender or ex L:ude hin ?from their. territory. The hero of Siras.bonrg wan thin profuse in espressions of gitiude andadinliral in for the Swiss character. NOrw, ihen eated on thu throne of France, in the enjoy ment of unlimited power, inoluding'the power to. rrqiite lis -benefactors, lie even pre .,nmes to r.:buke his-former protectors for a riahtenus reistai-e .to the arrogant demanda of Prussia. But the exactions of political expedi eney are as boundless as his ingratitude is base. Everythini-hnor, gratitude, moral obligation, and ft mav be interest, must be sacrificed to a sense of polilcal expedieny. Here is what the ungrateful monarch said vhen he was about to retire front the country which had given him an asylum. Comment is unnecessary: "Switzerland has demonstrated, during a month by her energetic protests, and now by the decisions ef the great Councils which have assembled up to the present time, that she was prepared to make the greatest sacriices for the maintenance of her dignity and her right. She has done her duty as an independent nation. I shall perform mine, and remain faithful to the voice of honor. I may be persecuted, but I never shall be dishonored." "In voluntarily quitting to.day the only coun try in Europe in' which I-found support and pro. tection-in withdrawing from places which had become dear to me in so many respects,1i hope to prove to the Swiss people-that-I was worthy of the marks of esteem and. affection they lav ished on me." DTY ON SUGA. The queslion of the duty on sugar has attrao ted some attention, and 'nuy of our Northern exchanges are clear in the conviction that it would be better to abolish it. From statements made it appears that though the crop has great ly fluctuated, there has still been a steady in crease. Last year there was only 100,000 hogs heads, each hop-head weighing about 1,100 Ainst 231,427 ends for 185 and 346, br-for 1864 Mullng off has Been coin ident with the high prierof cotton, and taking tlie average of sugar for ten years, It Is shown that it amounts to 260,00Q hogsheads, or the one-t th uga nsumed in the United State. derest .umstances, it is con tended y the Journal: of Commerm, of New York, that as a mneasure. of prudence, as well as of justice to the South, thl sugar duties should be continued in equal proportion to other duties, whose object is to encourage domesoc produc tion. We think free trade wonji be better. Every headof a family pays threEaztsa pound upon all the sugar he nsumes, and this is more than the collateral tage to him. of having it-'raised in Louisiana, ether than in Cuba; in fact, to us on the Southern Atlantic sea-board, it would be better to have it raised in Cuba, for then we would start a commerce-in exchange for. it. Still, if protection is to be kept up as a set bed policy, and if the North is solicitous to draw out from all the bifrthens of it, so as to leave them on the South, we would hold on to the sugar duty to the extent to which they con adine, that they will share in. supporting the government, which without would seem, to set tle entirely upon us. As a source of revenue this duty on sugar has at least the merit of going more directly to the revenue of e country than any others. The suga im' .is 850,000,000, upon which the dty is two cents per pound. This yields $17, 000,000. There are imported 40,000,000 gal 16ns nolisses'aL five. cents per gallon, making $2,000,0003 together $19,000,000. Of this only about six millions goes to the support of the Louisiana planter, while $13,000,000 goes into the treasury of the United States; and of' this the North pays at least the one-half. By the sugar tax we have a hold on themi to that extent, and as it is almost the only one for which they are not abundantly compensated by sonme collatiterl advantage, if we would ever have their aid in an adjustnment of the tariff, it is manifestly our policy to hold them on to this. --Charleston Stanmdard. * CHANGE OF PUBLIC OPINION. The Daily Newis, of New York, a conserva tive Democratic journal, expresses the belief that a change is taking place in the public opin ion of the popular mind in relation to Federal poliics. It says: "Since the election of James Buchanan a change has come over the spirit of the popular miiid, at least itf we may judge from the mode rate tone of~ the press in every part of thc coun try andt of all shades of' opiniion. The ultt-aists and extremiists of every quarter stand rebuked by the triumph of the Democracy and its rep resentative man. James Btuchanaan. The Ne braska bill expresses perfect neutrality on the great exciting question of the day-it eschews at once radicalism on either flank-it was a measure not of compromise, but of jumst mnoder ation, atnd its spirit is perfectly expressed in thme character of the great statesman of Pennsyl We are pleased to notice this also in the modi fled views of some of the most violent opponents of the South at Washington, and while they still retain hostility to her institutions they dits laim much of what constituted their capital in the late contest. Our private advices are that the Black Republicans are a good deal di cour. aged, and that a favorable reaction is in progress at the North. Much depends on the incomin; adinist rationi and the sagacity of Mr i. ]lucha nan, in whom we have conidenmce. ie knows full wvell that during his term the fate of the Union will I.e decidled, and we have no doubt he will give the weigmhit of his influence towards the preserv~atin of egnal rights under thme Con stitution, as lias been done hby the illustrious pa triot, President Pierce, wvho hans so nobly dlone his duty to the country during hais term.~ The South has, with a sintgle exception, voted for Mr. Bluchanan as a Constitutional Presidlent. and will support him as such. As our political union depends on popular opinion, which can only be permanent whent based on constitution al principles, it is essential to its existence that there should be a change, and that speedily, in those sections where the Constitntion has beeni a dead letter. The South is now the conserva tive element of our Government, and with per fet union among ourselves wve can perpetuate not only the protection of our rights, but time confederacy which, with all its difficulties, is the best polity that the world has yet seen.
