CHA1I.ESTON, February 13, 1858. Although "the Races" have Lid their day, and many of our visitors with whom thy constituted the main attraction have departed, we are u.st left withoit ample resources of enjoyment for all who remain. The gaieties have indeed barely commenced, and eve ning entertainments are as much the order of the prbsent and the next, as of the opening gula-week of the season. We hear of nothing but balls and parties and frolics, while the preachers are reionstratimg from the pulpits, warning of the near approoch of "Lent," and remindiug those of their henrers who have formally "renounced the pomps and vanities," as well as the majority who have failed to do so, that the great objects of life are not exclusively confined to those "gilded halls " where they "Dance all night Till broad day light, And go houte with the girls in the naorning." Some startling appeals and a good deal of very plain talk have becii rung into the unwilling ears of the beaux and belles at Church, " going in at one side and coming out at the other," while the restless list eners are counting up last night's conquests and lay ing new enares for to-morrow night. Every place of amusement, good and bad, draws its little crowd, and the Churches look as much like flower-gardens and variety-stores, as it is possible for millinors and dress makers to nauke them. The second St. Cecilia Ball comes off at St. Andrew's Hall on Tuesday evening next. The " Corypmeans " announced their third vocal and instumental Concert for Wednesday evening last. Their corps of singers * and performers has been largely extended by the ad mission of a full choir of ladies, whose sweet tornes now relieve the monotony, so much complainmed of in some quarters, occasioned by the employment or male - voices excluisively at the opening concerts. To the efforts of this enterprising Association we are indebted for much of the inereasing interest in music, recetly awakened in this City. ~Signor Blitz, the Ventriloquist, perfoticed here on Moda nd ETuesday to wd'ndering crowds. li lf us with a great many good wishes from the press for his health and happine-s, and if inexhaustible facili ties of amusing himself at the expense of any un lucky wayfarer he may meet, can contribute to either, he ought to laugh and grow fat wherever the fates may conduct him. The Campbell Minstrels have been showing up the "darkey" characer at the Theatre. They are held ins very high estimation here, in their place; but as the immodiate successors of the English Opera Troupe, the policy of the arrptngemecnt maay appear in the e-yes of sensitive critics to admit of discussion. Williams' Panorama of the Bible is on exhibition at the Institute Hall. It will doub~tlei's attract atte tion. The scene opens with " Chaos," and contionue' down in historical order to the Uabylonish Captivity, illustrating some fifty of thu most sublime and inter esting events in Biblical History. Such exhibitions as this are instructive as well as entertaining. ando should ho encouraged. Max Maretzek is expected here on Monday evening with the Itadioni Opera Company front the Tacon Theatre, IHavana, consisting of Gazzanagga, Amodhio, Brignoli, and other great Artists. The Troupe will perform at the Theatre during a piortion of next week. Henory M. Law, Essi., of Savannah, has been lee turing at the Hlibornian Hall on " the Intellectual and Literary Prosp~ects of America." The Chamber of Commierce had their Anniversary dinner on Monday. Col. A. A. Andrews, the active and energetic incumbent of the Office, was re-elected President. The Anniversary meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association took plaice on Saturday evening 8th, and the Society re.-elected their zealous President and untiring advocate of its interests, to the respon sible position which he has so faithfully filled for sev eral years past. The public exercises of this Associ ation are advertised for to-morrow evening, when Ad dresses are to be delivered by Rev. C. C. Pinekney, and Rev. J. L. Girardeau. Tuesday 9th was the first day of the Annual meet ing of the South Carolina Rail Rtoad Company. Thu session lasted two) days. Resolutions were passed that the management of the Rload should be conuted with the view to the reduction of the debt of the com pany as soon as practicable. A Resolution was adopted dispensing with Annual Clergy Tickets, and allowing Clergymen of all denominations to pass over the Road at half price, when on official duty. The Charleston Preparatory Medical School re opens its Coursos of Lectures on the first Monday in April. A new Mechanical enterprise is on foot, for which Mr. W. A. Giourdin is receiving subscriptions, and which is imsportant to those engaged in the Factorage. Cooperage and Milling business. The project is thec manufacture of staves and barrels by machinery. Specimens already made by this machinery are ex hibited at Mr. Oourdin's Office in State Street. Our onmunity has sustained a severe bereavement in the sudden death of one of its most esteemed cler gymen, whose name has been long identified with al most every public movement for the welfare of his fellow citizens. I allude to the Rev.. Samuel Gilman, D. D., the venerable Pastor of the Unitarian Church. Beloved as he was by those immediately tunder tis ec cesiastical guardianship, or boud to him 1,y various ties of associated fraternity,.tho denth ofC this univer sally admired P'relate will long be mourined ams a pub. . lie loss; while the Church in whose ministrations he spent his valuable life, thme cause of Temperance, Ed ucation and Literature, and tihe social circle of which his meek gentle spirit and chaste, refined intellect ren 'dered him a bright ornament, will each realize that it has lost a distinguished leader, zealnus advocate and generous friend. Among the fashionable on dits of the timecs ise an announcement in the Savannah p~apers that "dthe Red Petticoat," to which I paid my respects in my last, has actually appeared on the streets of our sister City. The " Georgian " says, it is "to be .eeen prome nading between the hours of 4 and 6 P. M., on the dollar and a half side of our gaud y promenade ren dezvous." I do not know to which side of our King Street prpmenade this "dollar and a half" depart ment corresponds, but shall watch carefully thc West uude with great expectations, this being par e::cellence, by eommon consent, te side where the crowd most do .gongregate.

DEAR Co.-I propose, if it should meot your ap probation and that of your numerous readers in "old Edgefield," to give you from time to time, as oppor Iunity offers, my observations on the affairs of the nation, as they develop themselves here in the Fede ral metropolis. The Kansas question, of all others at this time, in terests the South most, and is now before Congress in a tangible shape. Yesterday the President sent in the Lecompton Constitution, accompanied by a Mes sage strongly recommending its acceptance. This Message is one of the ablest state papers ever written. It covers the whole ground. The President's defence of the legality of the Lecompton Constitution is com plete and unanswerable. His argument in favor of the admission of Kansas under that Constitution, is equally irresistable. The President, in the stand he has taken on this important question, will be sup. ported by the unanimous South, and all good men at the North. It cannot be denied however that many Northern Democrats will follow the "Little Giani." Judge Douglass. Strong efforts are being made here by Douglass' friends to sacrifice the South for the sake of peace und harmony in the Democratic party. I, for one, hoj.e and trust, fur the sake of the South, that they will fight every inch of ground upon Lhis Kanas questinn. The administration mut be ustaiued and Kansas ndmitted under the Lecompton Lonstitution. If the South, as she is asked to do, hias to sacrifice principle and every thing else to mnke lie Northern Democrats stick to the party, I ay ut them go. If the country is not now in a del,lora ie crisis, it never was. The speeches which followed the Message in botk Houses furnish evidence of deep gitation on this Eubject. It is impossible to tell at this time what will be the 'ate of the Kunsus question in the House. The issue epends upon the action of some ten or a dozen inem ers who have not defined their position. If 24 't.rthern DemocratE go with Douglass the measure Kill be defeated. As yet but 17 have formally coml. nittod themselves against admission. These 17 men ,ers are confident of defeating the Lecompton Consti .ution, but they calculate upon the co-operation of ten r twelve meinbers alluded to above. The Washing on correspondents of the New York Tribune concede hat the administration will be sustained in the iluse. It is likely that a hill will be introduced to admit ,'tih Knas and Minnesota at the same time. The Douglass men will support this plan, if they find they annot def'eat the admission of Kansas. Indeodl it is ,ossible that Douglass himself may avail himself of lie opportunity thus offered to recede from the wrong io nh'b'ha tak-I; ~for it seems To-~~ b'!~U erstood that he is just beginning to realize the ex ent of his self-de:;truction. It is currently' rumored that the P'resident designs emonving from of0iee the partizans of Douglass in lli wis, to umake room for Administration Democrats. rho anti-Douglass Democrats of that Stato are in avor of such a course. I do not know whether or ot the President will yield to the wishes of hisfriends u Illinois on this subjet. lBut the rutnor is that he will do so, and has greatly alarmed Douglass, and nay modify his oppuositions to thu administration. Threa Southern Senators will vote against tho ad nision of Kansas, Crittenden, Bell and Houston di Know Nothings. The proposition however will pas the Senate. There is little douubt that the Lawrence, Stone & Co., investigatinsg Co:nittee will expose a good deal f rascality before they are done. The general Ima lression is that it will be proven that ex-Speaker Banks handled a corsiderable pile of that $S7,000. So much for menh in high r.laces. More hereafter. PALMETTO. ABOUr Nzwsarsts.-It is due to our friends, ;he Postmasters, to,state that Postmaster General has recently decided that if Postmasters do niot ive publishers of newspapers njtice that their paprs remain in the postotlice without being ta ens out by the subscribers, within live weeks, they are liable for pay. Speaking of' newspapers, wo observe that Judge Cosser, of the Probate Court, of Windsor, Vt., ias decided that a good family newspaper is oneo f the necessary articles for the support of a fam ily, during the settlement of an estate, and as such, the administr'ator, in insolvent estates, is justifiable in paying for one-the widow to make her own selection of what paper she will have. We moreover observe that a new law on the press hasi come into force in Denmark, prohibit. gnewspapers fronm copying the articles of oth er jornals without credit. All of these decisions will meet the unqualified approbation of the press.-Carolina Times. BAtIvosy Co-r'ros wITH Ittos Hoors.-It ap pears that the ladies have not a msonopoly in thme moderns use or appliention of htoops, for we no. tieed ye.sterday at lBustin & Walker's warehouse a bale of cotton very neatly attired with six gal vanized iron hoops. The application of' iron hoops, itn thte place of' rope, for holding the bale of Cottont, is an invention of' Mr. D. M[cComnb, and has mnatny warm advocattes amnong planters, warehousetmen, cotton packers, shippers, and others. We do not know anything about thte su perior advantages claimed for iron hoops over good htemp bale rope, but we think the present a favorble opportunity f'or our citizents and plat in frie.nds to see a bale of cott.on packed itn the ew style, and they can do so by calling at Bus tit & Walker's warehouse.-Augusta Constilu tionaist. Sr..tr. Exntrto.-A bill is nsow before the Alabamna Set ate, an 1 unsdergoing consitderable discussion, wlinen provides for the exemnption of one slave in every family from seizure for debt.

All persons indebted. on money bonds in the Com missioner's office for Edgefield District, are called upon to come forward and settle.

With much of sadness and regret it is, that we re cord the death of one towards whom we have occupied the most friendly social relations for a number of years. Capt. Wi. LoGCE died at his residence near this place on Tuesday evening last, after a brief illness. Ho had many qualities, both of the head and of the heart, which made him, among his friends, one of the uost valued of companions. A hundred occa eions of agreeable intercourse occur to us, while pen ning this brief tribute. Mr. LOGUE was a self-educa tod man, having chiefly hy Fs own exertions prepared himself for the South Carolina College, in which inu stitution he commanded the esteem and respect of both professors and students. le afterwards com menced the practice of law, first in Savannah, next in Charloston: but, dissatisfied with his location in both instancee-althongh flattered in the latter place with several complimentary duitinctions, he caue back to Edgelield, his adopted lome.

We conclude this week the publication ef Mr. GanREGGs speech on the Dank Question, as delivered y that gentleman during the last session of the South arolina Legislature. Those who have read it, will have seen that it is creditable to its author in nmany respects. The debate was one which elicited no marked ntere<t, although there were sundry speeches of more or lesas merit which tho occasion called forth. Among these, Mr. Gnneno's was not the least effectire. Pre eded by-a reputation for expertness in money matters, iis views were looked for with interest; nor did he fail to meet the expectations of his hearers. In our own opinion, this effort is the best production of Mr. ao's pen,-.ecrtainly far superior, in logical se uence and consistent reasoning, to his Rail Road Speech of the psrevious session. "A LI~t'O DEALEiR." We have a purpuoe in adnmitting the elfusion of " A Liquor D)ealsr"' into our columns ; neither is that purpose at varisnce with temperance and morality. We advise "S." to touch the gentleman quietly under the fifth rib, and draw him out only onsce smore. That will do his job. As he has so nearly approached self emolition in his first piece, it may be expected that his next will be a genuine instance of "spontaneous combustion." DENNIS'S 'ME DICINES.

Atten tion is reqjuestod to what it sets forth. The .Meresry is a paper of many proud associations. For years it hs occupied the position of a leading Southern Journal; and hy its devotion to Southern rights and interests, has weoll sustained itself in that enviable attitude. Boasting, in its long and brilliant career, a succession of talented and spirited editors, its very name has come to be thought of as inseparably con nected with the intelligence and chivalry of the sun ny South. Under its present efficient management, it cannot well fall below its established popularity, or do discredit to its historical anteedents. Its proprie tor and conductors have our best wishes for a con tinued increase of the weal and prosperity of their old and favorite press. But turn to the prospectus. fa Bishop Henry B. Bascom, one of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, died on Sunday the 7th inst., at the residence of the Rev. Mr. 8tevinsn, in Louisville, Ky., where he had been a tig time ill. THE GREAZSSUE. The great issue, the trilal, o10tion, of the present (perhaps the last) Session of gros, is that of the admission or rejection of Ka under the Lecomp ton Constitution. For the Mislon; the President of the Union occupies ths ;Wsupported by almost all the Southern memliersJ: a goodly number of sound headed Northerners. or the rejection, Black Republicanism unfurls its - er,,backed (to its own evident amazement,) by Doa oass and his dupes. The struggle will be a d one. The element of Abolitionism will be w t up to its highes pitch by its frenzied high- tW; And the ambition of power scarcely led the rbellious arch-angel to more daring resolves than i, 1ll beget in the heart of the so-called " Giant of th it." To moot these dangerous influences, JAMU& BUcuAWAN stands forth fortified with the triple panio of Truth, Justice and the Constitution; the good and sound men of the North have solemnly resolved to sustain him in his noble course of independeniduty; and, last but not least, the insulted South now arrayed in solid column, prepared to meet dg issue like patriots, with out excitement, without bitLrness, but with the un flinching determination to Eld-no more to the ag gressions of an avowed e"ty. The contest must then be a powerfal one, saniMighty in its results, for weal or for woe. The adoption of Hsarl olutions, of Enquiry and Investigation, is far ft-om being regarded by Southern members a reject of the Lecompton ap plication. It is not even, u was at first said, consid ered equivalent to its postp ementto another Session. Mr. Speaker Ona has appo d the C ommittee under the Resolutions; and thatImittee are already at work. There would seenno be no doubt of their preparing their report, in , e-to act upon it before the adjournment next Summer. Such is the calcula tion at Washington. W'eVae therefore to expoot the docision of this issue by Clujsress within a few months at the farthest. Let then the Representatives of the South stand firm upon the high grouid they occupy before the world. Let them announp to the country their plat form, with a distinctness th will admit of no mis construction. Let them concert their plans and devise the line of action they will take, should Kansas be deliberately rejected on account of the slavery ques tion. Let them perfect at publish to the American people this proposed action,' and the reasons of its adoption,-not threatenuinl, but dispassionately, and with the intent of avoiding (if possible) a dissolution of the Union. Let them eall upon the enlightened world to witness, that thb are moving upon high principle and for the rihtful conservation of their political and social insti. ions. And, over and above all, let every man of the- "pledge his life, his for tune and his sacred honr" to the stern and unfalter ing use of all his powers in the attainment of that great esd. Thus will the.outh, through her Sena tors and Representativesl appear in the strength and majesty of her own good4ns e. *Thus, will the poo. ple of the South be broug t to rally around their leaders with one united. shout of approval. Thus will we triumph, atzd saio the Union and ourselves. But undefined and doubtful measures, and ill-concer tod councils, will but and in further compromises and the further degradatioh of our section. "A lung pull, and a strong pull, aid a pull all together," should now be the Southern watohward. Imprevenients. Hearing that the ladie of our Baptist Congrega. tion had set their headstto -improving their Church and Church-yard, we walked in that direction a few mornings since, and foid all that we had heard to be true. The interior of Me House is freshly painted, in good style; and the yard has been laid off with a. view to cultivating shruibbery and flowers amiongst the graves of the departed. The rearing of rich ever greens over the tombs of the dead, has ever occurred to us as being a most appropriate tribute of affection, emblematic, as they auie, of constancy and hope, constancy in the attsc ments of life, and hope for their renewal in a bighs and better world. With a littre perseverance, ou adies will make the Bluptist The Patriot & Maji. Perry. Our last " Patriot & Atountaineer" is not at hand; but from an exchange before us we pluck the follow ing notice : " The Greenville (S. C.) Patriot & 3femntuineer, of the 11th inst., contains the valedictory of the lHon. B. F. P'erry, who for seven years has been the editor of that paper." We can scarcely realize the continued existence of the Patriot without Ma'or PIanY at its helm, so imseparably and so forciby associated have they been from the first morning ii which that paper saw the light. Our impbulse is, ta enter a protest against this severance of old tics. Jut we suppose it is one of those things that must hppen to all papers and all men alike. Be it so. I parting from the distin guished editor of the Periot, we accord to him the palmn of success in thindillicult department of the literature of the day.

WADE HAMPTON. The announcement, yesterday, of the death of Col, WADZ HAMiroY, (says the Charleston .ercutry, of the 13th inst.,) occasioned equal sorrow and surpriso in our-community, in which he had mingled but a short time previously, and apparently in his usual healtl ajnd spirits. Col. IAxi-To, by his many high and generous qualities, his large hosipitality, his dignified and eourteous bearing. was one of the representative men of the State, and was esteemed and admired wherever known. He was taken sick on the Missis sippi river, and was landed at Natches, where he died on the night of the 10th instant. His remains are on the way to Columbia, in charge of his son, C. F. HI.tu-roa, Esquire. JOHNSON'S NEW MAP. Having examined this map with some degree of care and scrutiny, we are prepared to speak of it nore fully than in a previous notice. It is certainly the most extensive map of our country yet published. In addition to the United States and Territories, there is also given, in one corner of the broad sheet, a very satisfactory map of the world, exhibiting the relative position of each hemisphere, and showing at a glance not only both sides of the Atlantic but of the Pacific ocean also. On the main map, the lines of the new ter ritories seem to be faithfully and accurately drawn. The railroad routes throughout the whole country are also laid down, and the projected routes, including the several schemes of the great Pacific Road, that is to be. The coloring of the map is brilliant and its typo graphical execution as distinct as need be. Indeed, taking all its features into view, JouxsoN's New Map strikes us as being an admirable work. As such we commend it to our readers. It will make a handsome and inost useful addition to the furniture of every intelligent citizen's hall. The agent, Mr. Johxsox, is at present in our Dis trict, and will call around as generally as possible. We heg to bospeak for him a favorable reception. "THE REACTION." The reader's attention is pointed to the following very cheering paragraph from the Charleston Eening A'cXca, of the 8th instant: "The times are improving. The prices of Ameri can produce are advancing. Cotton has again reached a paying point, and assumed steadiness at all points. It has also commenced to come forward freely, and planters, with a certainty of remunerating rates, can now powerfully aid in effecting and sustaining a mon otary reaction. The banks of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington have just resumed specie payments, following the previous action of those of New York, whose money plethora begins to find relief in even low rates of interest-less than G per cent. on first class paper. A similar condition and process exhibit themselves in England. France still earlier recovered her equilibrium, and the return of confidence through out Europe is marked in its progress. Consols have gone up to over 95, showing that cnpitalists, where they can have confidence, are assenting to the most moder ate rates of interest. The advices from Manchester are favorable, and trade indicates revived activity and steadiness. The receipts of gold from California and Australia continue full, and the flow of a re-swelling credit is everywhere felt. Our cotemporary has watched the moneyed crisis with constant concern, and from his position, is ena bled to estimate shrewdly its probable duration and re sults. That he has reckoned arightin his presentob servations, is most earnestly to be hoped. With him, we think the indications decidedly good for a happy clearing-up of the financial 'spell,' which has hung so gloomily over the people for the last bix months. In the country, as in the cities, matters are becoming easier every day. The rise in the cotton market will at once throw a large amount of bank bills into cir culation. The crop will be no longer held back. Every planter will sell, and ought to sell. If he has no debts to pay on his own account, he probably has friends who have. To these he taight lend his funds on good soecurity, at 10 per cent if he will not do so for less. The moneyed troubles of '57 and '58 may end in a happy juhilee, if every one will thus act. Such in point of fact is the course now being adopted by the planters. On our side of the State there has not been, after all the tlhreats to creditors, anything like the sucing that was anticipated. Return-day, for Edgefield at least, is passed, and no great harm done. hundreds of thousands,-of indebtedness, will be liquidated amongst us by the proceeds of the large remaining portion of, our cotton crop. At 12& cents per pound, there is enough of the staple yet unsold to make money abundant. The cotton-buyers in Hlamburg are up to the mark, as usual; the Hamburg Bank too is liberal in furnishaing them the means of paying full prices. And Hlamblurg money, suspension or no suspension, is as good as Mr. Dorn's gold in these parts. Treasury Notes could be no better. On ly let there be enough of it, and all will be well. We warmly congratulate our rcadlers upon the promising appearances of the hour, and wish them a happy is sue out of their monetary afflictions. Do You Wisha to Learn the French ? The trustees of the Edgeficldl Male Academy have the opportunity of engaging a superior teacher of French. They cannot do so upon the proceeds of their school solely. The assistance of a class or classes out side is necessary to secure the services of the teacher they have in view. H~e is an eduen ted Frenchman, and by character a gentleman. All who desire to take advantage of the opportunity now within reach, will pilealse report their names, tid areek, to Major (1. A. Aimsox, Secretary Bloard Trustees, Edgefieldl Male Academy. We can then soon tell whether we are to have a French teacher or not. The Committee. The Committee appointed under the Resolution of MIr. H~tunts, to take into consideration certain ploints n Kanusas nffairs, consistsof seveni Black Republicans,1 mne Know Nothing, and seven Decmocrats. It thus ippears that thme Know Nothing holds the balance of I >ower, and, without enquiring, we take it for granted I hat he is sound upon the nigger question.

Is i South Carolina law ? That is amy rule-my law; bu Y[see you are a Seward-man. You go for "higher law.' I acknowledge that the license law of the State al. lows thme council to go higher or lower as they maa judge best ; but my objeet is to show that you, so fai as the town council is concerned, are a -higher law. man, may be an abolitionist. The town council has given us license to retail. They knew it would de good ; so they did it. So far as Iland my brother re, tailers are concerned, we have gene into it for omr "meal vantare and good, and not for charity. There are some o['us,1I know, a little squeasisli about making the confession ; but I am a plaia man, a South Carolinian, (L. e. I live here,) a free-man, and will speak what I please; si that I "speak truth and shame the Devil," (If there be a personal DeviL) Do you think sir, that we arc such fools as not to know the influenceo of liquor-drinking ? You reason that it will "injure health." Do you think ligour dealers are such asses as not to know it ? You talk of " weeping widows," " ragged orphans," and so on, as if you were lecturing a school-girl to make her cry. Now sir, lot mec tell you, my calling is made of "stern. er stuff;" I know all the nambhy-pamby talk about wasted health, and wealth, and wind, and morals, and the purity of society ; I know it is all true, every word of~ it, and more ton. But let me tell you, sir, that we sell liquor. that are ay make moucey. We woul'l all like the business better, if these evils didl net follow; but we take the money, and let those who patronise us, take the evils. (New if the Editor were in my bar room, I should stop writing and say "let's liquor up."~) I will let you know, sir, we have a strong hold on the community. Don't the ladies drink syllabub? rlon't matrons have their cooking with liquor? Don't ehumrch folks drink drans ? Didn't some of them vote the "Wet ?" Don't even sime of your grent temper. mene men argue for our side now ? Don't all this help is ?' I heardl of a p'reacther not long since who reachedl against frolieking, (I don't belong to his coin ~regation,) and if I had kept company with his mem. era, I should have heard some of them not a week fler say, no doubt, "he did moure harm than good y it." So it is with liquor,--I have no doubt imany ave said of your trash, "it will do more harm than ood." You threaten us with Hell and Damnation in Eter ity, sir. I will have you to knew that there is no [til and Damnation in Eternity. Some of the best itizens of this town, sir, of education too, can prove acre is no Hell the other side of Jordan. And if I ake money in thin, I will risk hereafter. Now, sir, I will advise you to save your efforts to ring us to tears in fear of your Devils and Damna uns. Make those efforts to your granny, who be. ives in witches, ghosts and devils, and wake her op her groanings for her grand son, who was stabbed a drunken frolic at College. I hear the dimes inck into my tin-box when the men and boys ask r a drink-.and shall I stop for'your say so ? Now, tell you, sir, that you might as well " whistle jigs a mile-stone and expect it to dance," as stop we by aging "0O turn sinner turn, Why will you die ?" I just give you a little taste this time.
