EDGEFIELD, So C.,____________5fl From the Home Journ .1. INEVER HAVE BEEN FALSE TO THEE. nY GEORGE P. tORRIS. I never have been false to thee! The heart I gave thee still is thine; Though thou hast been untrue to me, And I no more may call thee mine! I've loved as woman ever loves, With constant soul in good or ill; Thou'st proved, as man too often proves, A rover-but I love thel still! Yet think not that my spirit stoops To bind thee captive in my train ! Love's not a flower, at sunset droops, But smiles when comes her god again! Thy words, which fall unheeded now, Could once my heart-strings madly thrill Love's golden chain and burning vow Are broken-but I love thee still! Once what a heaven of bliss was ours, When love dispelled the clouds of care, And time went Iy with birds and flowers, While song and incense tilled the air! The past is mine-the present thine Should thoughts of me thy future fill, Think what a destiny is uine, To lose-but love thee, fale one, still! [From the French of ITypolite Andeval.] THE WAY TO PARADISE. A child stood weeping at the gate, Of La Pttlie disconsolate, Asking to see her mother dear, " Begne," the brutal porter cried, " Your prayer is vain, she is not here." " I know she is," the child replicd, Oh. let me see her, I implore;" And still she rapped the fastened door, Till one more hindly than the rest, Said. " Cease thy tears, take my advice, And try ta calm your trouh.ed breast, Your mother's gone to Paradise." To Paradise! Oh, where's the way 1 She asked of every one she met; T.ey Ulisten kindly, and ail say, " The way is long, and sore beset 'With obstacles." But Ifope leads on, And Pity supports her sinking heart, Faith encourages-it shail lie done; And Charity fulfills her part; And the child hopes once more to see Her mother's face, and with her be, Resolved at any-sacrifice - To find this way to Paradise.. At length, upon a barren soil, Fatigue, and hunger, and the iight Arrest her in her weary toil; A gentle shepherd sees her pigiht. And to a convent near doth lend her: The sisters hasten forth to aid her, But all too late! she pales and trembles: )eath, who parts and re-assembles, To her mother soon unites her; Heaven opens, God invites her Unstained, and pure from earthly vice, The siuless child's in Paradise. A ialmOLUJTION iY lb1N[SE tCE. We like to treasure tip all the historical Ic gands of our Revolutionary struggle. They are sketches of the past which grow more valuable as year after year passes by, and the incidlents they refer to become more and more deeply enveloped int the haze and mystery of tradition.I The one which follows is full of initerest, atnd fuirnishes an instance of courage, as striking ast any connected with the patt taken by South Carolina in the events of those troublesome times. The patriotic enthusiasm which prevaileu among the pecople during the seige of Augusta and Cambridge, promnpted to numerous acts of personal risk and sacrifice. This spirit, encour ;tged by the success of Sumter and others over the British arms, was~ earnestly foistered lby {Gen. Green, whose directions marked at lea.s: thle outine of every undertaking in lie elibrt~s maded to strike a 1lowr at the invader's poer The sons of the Martin family were amnilg t he inost distinguished for active service rendleredl. and for injuries sustained at the enemy's hands. The wives of the two obiest, (luring their ab sence remained at home with their mother-in law. One evening intelligen~e came to them that a courier, conveying important dispatches to one of the upper atations, had to pass that night along the road, guarded by two British ollicers. They determined to waylay the party, andl, at the risk of their live.4, obtain possessi of the papers. For this purpose the two yougg wimien dhi+ gutised themselves in their husbaitl.' elothes and being well provided with arms, took t heir station at a point on the road which they knew the escort must pass. It was already hate, and~ they had not watited long befor e the tramp of horses was heard in thme dlistance. It imay lbe imiagined with what anxiou4 expectation the heroines awaited the approach of the critical moment on which so much depended. The forest solitud.e around them, the si~enee of thme night. and the darknew;s, must have :Llded to -.th' terrors conjured up by buzey fiincy. ['res ,cmntly the courier appe tred, with his attendant ~gars. As they camue close to the spit, the eli..guised women leapied from their covert in the bushmee, presented their pi-tol.a at the nili :er:'. and dma5aled the instant surrendler of the party and their despatches. The mzen were comleltely taken by surprise, and their alarm at the attack yielded a prompt sub~mis-on. 'The seemilng soldiers put thema on parole, alnd having taken possession of the paes ha.tened homte lby a shor.t cut through the wvoods. No time! was lo4t in sending the important, doen:nents by a trusty messenmger~ to General CGreen. T1hie adventure had a singular termination. Inu paroled officers, thus thwarted im t heir ission. returned by the road they had taken, and stop ping at the house of. Mr's. Martin asked accuzm modationl as weary travelers far the night. 'I'he hostess inquired thme rea-on nf their returning so soon after they had pm;Led~. lhey relhied by showing their paroles, saying they had binen taken prinners by two rebel la 1k. Tlhe ladies rallied themi upon their want of intrepidity. "hIad you no arms ?" was aL-ked. The officer.; answered that theyv had armns. but were allowved no time to use their weapong. They departed next morning hiaving no suspt con that they owed their capture to the very women whose hospitality they had claimed. e mother of this patriot family was a na tire of Carolina county, Virginia. ner nai was Elizabeth Marshall, and she was probal of the same family with Chief Justice Marsh: as she belonged to the sane neighborhood. . ter her marriage to Abram Martin, she mov to this settlement bordering on the Indian i tion. Ninety-six, now Edgefield District, Sou Carolina. The country at that time was spar; ly settled, most of its inhabitants being t pioneers from other States, chiefly from V ginia: and their neighborhood to the Indin had caused the adoption of some of their sav habits. The name of Edgefield is said to ha been given because it was at that period t edge or boundary of the respectablo setth and their cultivated fields. Civilization, ho ever, increased with the population, and in t time of the Revolution, Ninety-six was amo tlgforemost in sending into the field its lu( if I rdy and enterprising troops to ol)poc t British and their savage allies. At the commencement of the contest M Martin lad nine children, seven of whom w< sons old enough to bear arms. These bra yotmg 1en, under the tuition and example their parents. had grown up into attachment their country, and ardently devoted te its si Vice were realy on every occasion to oneount the dangers of border warfare. When the Ii call for volunteers sounded through the I the mother encouraged their patriotic zeal. (ha, boys," she said, light for your c try! tight till death, if you must, but never I your country be di.ionored. Were I a nal would go with you." At another time, when Col. Cruger couma' tied the British at Cambridge and Col. Bro% it Augu-,ta, several Uritish ollicers stopped her house for refreslnent ; ad one of thC .:sked how many soas she had. She anaswer -eight ; and to the question where they Were, replied pronmiptly : " Seven of them are engaged in the service their country." 0Really naam," observed the oflicer snet ingly, " Vou have enough of them."

The journals of health in various parts of the country give a picture, by no means flattering, 0- of the physical degeneracy of our countrymen. edThe evil complained of prevails principally m ia- the cities which are always and everywhere th nurseries of ill health, in wvhich the men pass Le their time in dihgy work shoos and close count e ingroms, and the! women scarce ever place their feet on the pavement, and when they do, lb wear such thin shoes that colds and consump ge tion are the gcneral result.

COTTON# The'telegraph brought us ws, yesterday, of a further advance in cotton; is has been anx iously looked for by all. Thi late remarkable decline from the high prices the Fall, was one of the causes of the financia C *s that has borne so heavily on the whole a),fy, causing the failure of many of the best ioures. Planters would not sell, even at fair. ices, when their hopes had been elevated by,,, e expectation of fourteen and fifteen cents, as hey were in the early part of the season. N selling, they can not pay their bill.;, and the .sequence is the ierchant and man of busin is the sulfrer. The planter consults his oi Pterest, whether it is best to sell or not. 11e'eares little for the ,aylieit of his accouts-thiking a month or two canii make but little diffet ce. If he were alone, it would be the case, b.when every one, or nearly -o, does this, the efl t is evident-'-tbe merchant cannot meet his li lities, his credi tors in town suffer, and the Ufect is like a con tagious disease-it spreads all round. This is the true stato of hings at present. Whilst eren" one is compli nil of the extraor linair' .stiigenicy of tany, a ' have the means of reiief ill our hands. The Pimount of cotton in the country is larger by fI than it probably w-r wa., beWUe at this seAS The price has now Iisen to be a fidr one, ad if our planters genera'llly would !jell and pay p their indLbted ne., we should soon have .mosperouis tiics.

The Washington papers report the confirma tion by the Senate of the nominration of the Hon. F. W. Pickens as Minitcr to Russia. On the reception. last summer, of the tender of thi.s appointment by President Buchanan, Mr. Pickens declined the honor; but we learn that in consequence of the very handsome man ncr in which the President repeated it, and his anxious expressions o, the subject, Mr. Pckens has decided to accept the missiton. The appointment is a judicious one, and Mr. Buchanan kno'ws that Mr. Pickens is the best informed statesman in South Carolina. We say this without derogation from others, as his po litical opponents admint it. We were his clas - mate and room-mate in college, and know that at nineteen years he was in coaMrrespondence with John C. Calhoun, George MeDuflie, Warren R. Davis, Patrick Noble and other prominent states men then in public life, and at that period was deeply interested in the political questions of the day. A constant correspondence with him from college days, enables us to bear test imony to the anxious interest he has always had in whatever concerns the interest or honor of his native State. His devotion to it caused him to refuni, on former occa-ions, the miissions to France, Aus tria and Eigland, and no one conld withgore propriety now accept a position to represent tho Union abroad. His thorouigh knowledge of the g'overnmlent, its history ai relations at home ad azoad, eninently qualify hin tor any min isterial position in which lie may cons.ent to setrve. Our relations with Rus.,ia are wore m iportant than u~suially ahnitted, and we are confident Mr. Pickens will do much to render then even inure so.-Suith Caroliakni.
