We are glad to find that the friends of Division
are still alive to a sense of their rights and their
interests. We hope the project will even be agita
ted until accomplished. The friends of Division
on Saluda will gladly co-operate with their friends
in the lower and upper part of the District in any
judicious plan that may be devised so as to divide
the District in such a manndr as to make a Ju
dicial District of a part of Edgefield, Lexingten,
Barnwell and Orangeburg, and another of the
Saluda Regiment, and also a third of a portion of
the upper part of the District of Edgefield aid
lower part of Abbeville, if desired.
We assure our friends of A iken that we feel a
lively interest in their proposed meeting on the
fourth of Nov. next, and will be glad to participate
with them on that occasion. SAL.TDA.

AUTUKN.
The sunlight sheds
A ch, ering ray
While Autumn spreads
A sure decay ;
As if to mnockthe o'erhanging gloom
Which hovers round sweet nature's tomb.
No more the bowers
Look fair as May,
For earth's sweet flowers
Now haste away;
The birds have ceased their summer song,
And winter cometh, hastening on.
Yet stay awhile
Ye flowrets gay,
And still beguile
S ad winter's day;
Still let thy beauty deck the grove,
Still breathe of happiness and love.
Speak to my heart,
Dear flowers, anI say
Why all thats's bright
Must, fade away '
Alas. the leaves that round me lie
Whisper that all, like them, must die.

For the Adlvertiser.
A'm'rica as a rIatlion. l.as been pecuiairly bl'st,
with that tranquility and happiness which
charaterizes all well regulated governfmen's.
Previous to the lbut- few y'ears a national seren
ity has been one of our distinguiLshing features
among the nations of the globe; and it was that
uiiion ofi eteminailii~tioni, toge her with concor
dance of' cent'iment, that rendere'd us,invincible
to all invasions. But for the last fe'w ye'ars
.everl questions have becen agiated,'(1 (among
whlich slavery was the mo1(st important) which
have caused dissensions ahn.,t bordlering on en
mnit. Disunion of the Stag;~ has bee~n long
thought of in the South, yet it isa pgi icy which
may hela termed a fearful remedy. In disuniting
he nation there are miany links to be brokens
besiecs the grand lock chain of the republic.
Who wiill chum thmose Washingtons of (r'eedomi,
vhse names ar'e blended wiithi the dawning era
of our country ? Which of us will boast of
those deeds of magnanimity and bravery, which
irst alotte~d us a stationu among the greamtest na
tions of the earth ? Who wvill hold that sacired
relic of our independence ? Shall the ctmnstitu
iao of our freedlom lae torn to atoms, and its
aisjited friagmena'mts be blowin lay a tor'nadlo of
w'ar unt il it shall have r-ettled on Monar
rml soil ? And who w~ill claim those nobly
io battles, in which bioth the Niorth and
South wvere participants. No lonager would the
heart of' an Amiermcan heat high with patriotic
admir.ation when the natne of Union should be
pronounced! That name wlich once stirred emo
tions of the highest fervour, would now be re
echoed by the monotonous expressions of an un- isi
happy people. These are questions which are t
more easily propounded than answered. But an
fearful as the result of a disorganization may be, tit
private warfare is more to be avoided. And in
my humble opinion the last dread result is fast fiv
closing around us. Unless the South rouse that on
spirit of independence, which has long been an ta
undisputed heritage, the North will secretly ad
vance until she may have sufficient advantage,
to pounce'down upon her unsuspecting brother.
Then if no others imitate our example let the sp
litt!e Palmetto State, like a brilliant star, take ful
lone position anid the firmament, of Sate-rights.

OUR DEPENDENcE ON Tin .NORT.-In a re
cent letter, Mr. Nathan Appleton, of Boston,
thus speaks of the influence of the New York
banks. Will the South continue thus depend
ent on New York, when the meas of indepen
dence are within her grasp ? Let us strike
while the iron is hot for direct trade with Eu
rope-commercil 'independence will be the
-great result:
"New York is the great central banking
power. She sets the key note to the whole
country. If she expands, the whole country
1 expands. If she contracts, it is felt to the re.
motest extremities. It is a tremendous power,
that of increasing or diminishing the circulating
medium of the whole country. It is a deep
responsibility, and demands sound discretion
I anl much wisdom in its regulation. Unfortn
nately, there appears to be no unity of action,
no controlling principle, in the management of
this power. It is divided between ifty fivo
banks, each acting its own separate part, under
the influence of different opinions and diffei ent
interests. Banks .re public institutions; they

seems (says the.Riing &n) to be an impres
sion on' the minds of many, that the banks in
this State loreit their charters when they cease
to pay out Specie. This is not correct, as shown
by the following act, passed December, 1840, to
which the banks are subject. Second section of
which reads us follows:
" Everv bankwhich shall suspend the payment
of currenit coin for its notes. or which shall de
.elare a determination to suspend'or refuse pay
ineut of its notes, according to their legal obli
gation, in current coin, shall become liable to
pay to the State of South Carolina, at the expi
ratiou of every m'onth after .such suspension or
declaration, a'snim of money. at the rate of five
per cent, per annuni, upon the whole amount of
its notes, wlich shall have been is.sued in circu

and shill continue to par at the saiie rae at the

W:ART iENDING AFFAI.-At thislate.tiTe,'
ive stop the press to announce an occurrence;:
most painful in character ;our particular, are
from James Jefferys/ Esq, Magistratb, add Mfr.
Win. M. Kerr, the acting oflicer. Ini fit of. -
anger one John Fee, living on Bullochs Crebk -
in York District, a few days since, shot his*
mare, some cattle and hogs, and oil Sunday-,
(yesterday) he set fire to his dwelling, 'wiichi
was locked, and the key afterwards found on.
his person, in which his three motherlesschil
dren, aged from five to fourteen 'years, are sup-..
po-ied to have perished.
It seems a Peace Warrant had been isigetY
against-iim on complaint of a neighbor; that
when an officer went to arrest hin he was Zeen
to be fortilied (as it were) in one of his- bariii,
arined with a gun, and 'swearing to shoot any
who would approach him. There were sity or
seventy persons leaving the house when :Mr.
Kerr arrived, who he summoned to accompainy
hii to the barn, but the cry was, "he wiill
shoot somebody." So they refu'ed with the.
exception of John Hlartness and brother; when
they got to the barn stratagem had to be resert
ed io,-which was effectual in securing him.
The. prisoner stated that the children *wiere
at a certain house, which was knoivn'to be in
correct. iHe then said he had last 6ien thii
at - the Spring," but the presumption isthey
have perished in the flames.
The poor apology of "intemperance," we
learn, cannot be urged in this instance. Fee-i
said to be a morose manone not given to the
.ol and easy impulses of nature; an enemy to
the world, ne became so to his nearest :and..
dearest kindred. We forbear comment,-as.the
matter must undergo.judicial Investigatioi, but.
we regret, that in the same paper we have,,
boasted of an empty jail, we have to announce
a tragedy so thrilling in its detail. May Hoe
who watches even the sparrow's fall,- havesay- -
ei erhe little one4, is our prayer.-York District
Chronicle.
We are glad to learn from the Yorkville En'
quirer, of a later date, that the five children
alluded to, have been found at an aunt', about
six miles from home.

EXCHANGE-CO FIDENCE
The uncertainty and extraordinaryvacillations
of the price of exchange in New York would
indicate either the inability of that market to
forward the crops by the purchase of the ex
change drawn on them, or a continuation of
panic and distrust of European steadiness, proba
bly both. Reuluced as is the rate b exchange
in the United States, to thr great loss of the
producer, still everywhere there is the evidence
that it is sold and that produce is going forward.
The work of releif then goes on, however at
present limited and gradual. Any progress
whatever must receive iecelerati-)n from the in
creased means and confidence which it prodces.
It must however take iontlis to achieve any
posiLive results, and the American people nist
consent to move slowly. A great shock has
been given both to monetary and connereil
relations. Great apprehension of the danger of
expansion after a revulsion, produced by ton
traedon. and ending in u;iversal distrust, tLe
doubt of safety in commercial operations, the
swrtilice of immense anioiuits of merchandize,
the lioarding of specie, the fall of produce and
the precarious condition of monetary aflairs in
Europe, cannot be overcome or disentangled in
any summary mode. On the other hand, the
re-toration of confidence, the chief elcment if relief,
would go far, aided by the amount of specie in
Americ1, equal to what it usually has, to facili
tate the operations tending to relief. This de
eired confidence could not exhibit itself in more
available and effective forms, than by a re-de
posit in the Banks of the specie drawn from
them, and the unhesitating purcha-, at thir
rates, of produce bills. Both may safely be
trusted; both would be decisive in securing rp
lief; and both the best basis of a desirable bank
expansion.
We are not of those who, on the one hand,
apprehended an almos.t universal ruin, or of
those who, on the other, anticipate- a prompt re
turn of easy and bright times. We believe tnat
the United States can and will do much to bring
their crops into the market of the world at fair
prices, and that Europe can lend prompt and
steadlv aid in consummating this end.
I'The importers of New York are no doubt hard
pre.sed to obtain the means tonake their neces
sary remittance to Europe, and to obtain the
goldt whereby to take g.,ods out of bond, of
which a large qantity mist be locked up in tLc
Govermnient warehoues. Hence the low price
o1 exchanige, if which they are the principal
buyers. The legal diliculties which embarrass
the New York U.mks, and the hesitation they
!m-;it feel in laz:irdin- any operations, must also
iheck their enlerin-g the excharge muarket. ULn
I il Enropean capitalists, therefore, enter thepra
duce and exelhage market, w hich now furihes
an unbIomimled flicd of sure proit to them, bit
little steadiness may be expected.
Tie eibarramiiient of exchange is a practical
illustration of how desirah'e it is that the coni
