All advertisements from this date, not amounting to more than $10, must be paid for in advance. Merchants and others advertising by the year, will be required to ettle every six months. No paper will be 'sent out of the District unless paid for in advance. All letters on business connected with the Ofice, to reeelTe prompt attention, must be addressed to the "tdgefield Advertiser." To these rules we will rigidly adhere. Therefore, take notice and act accordingly. POSTPONED. Our "Charleston Letter," "A Plain Man," and other pieces, have been unavoidably crowded out of our present issue. LEDEsCIULTZ AT HOME. LuzascavuLv is back from New York, with a fail stock of the choiceut articles. It Is hardly necessary to say more in Lob.'s case. Every one knows him to be a prince of a fqow in his department of business. They all give it up. It is with ne purpose of flattery that we say, there haa never been a merchant of any kind in Edgeleld who has contributed more to the sterling merits of our village trade; and there cer tainly has never been one, whose mode of dealing has been more inviting or more gentlemanly. He do. serves and we hope will receive an overfowing pat ronage. CLOTHING. Attention is asked to the advertisement of J. K. HonA & Co., who, at their old stand, under the United States Hotel, Augusta Ga., are serving their numer ous friends and customers with the best clothing ol the season, manufactured expressly for the Southerm trade by the best New York Houses. MUSIC AND BbOKS. Gzo. A. 0Araa A BaoTnia'are tried and experi enoed dealers In music, books, stationery Ac. They are sons of the old OATzs House of Charleston, and have grown up in the business they profess. Whal they tell you may be relied upon. They know whal they are doing, purebase.their articles carefully and skilfully, are never taken in themselves, and nevei take in others. If we were going to order a piano, or anything of the kind, we should as soon depend on Gzo. A. OAivas' judgment as any man we know, But read his advertisemet, and try for yourselves. DEATiKOF HON. THOMAS H. BENTON. By telegrdphic despatch from Washington, we learr that the Hon. Thos. H. Benton, of *iesouri, died is that city on Saturday morning last, at half past seve o'clock. He was buried on Monday. AUGUSTA DRY GOODS. Augusta never had a more brilliant array of dr oods on hand than now; And we happen to be abli to point to the places where the best of every thinj In that line of business is to be had. J1Go to GRAY & TURLEY's. Examine their ar tieles. Enquire their prices. Test their goods. I you dent get complete satipefaction, take our head fe Sa - " we nood say no more." pt- Go to CRaxa's, not far from GRAY A TunurY' Witness their ample and wel-fllald shelves; And se by the stream of custom flowing in and out, how rap Ily they are selling goods, and, consequently, hoi reasonable the profits they can afford to put up witI Go also to Baoox A NonnaLL's, a new ani beautifuel establishment.

Also, Wamoar, ALEXAXDERI A Co., offer th strongest inducements to the retail trade, and ranl * among the first houses in Augusta. pgAll these houses advertise with us, and u ask attention to their notices, from the maguifieen .double-column display of GnAY A TUnLEY down I the smallest business card. p We would also observe that our commends tion of those different establishments ls~not emapt; puffery. WVe have tried and know the men; And a. can say generally that Augusta has facilities and ad~ vantages which place her abend of any other souther1 town-in the dry goods retail business; And, marki well-the most pushing, accomodating, and indefati gial of her rising merchants advertise in our columna THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVEN. TION. Why should not all parts of the Southern countra be represented in our annual Commercial Coanven tions ? Not only the States and big towns, but th villages of the Interior also, and the interior itself The great desideratum amongst us of the South now Ise unanimity of thought and sentiment. Withou this we can neither expect to work successfully in th Union, nor go out of It in triuinphant style. Our an nual Commercial Conventions constitute one vcr; Important auxiliary to the attainment and perpetua S tion of this end, and should not be neglected by single community of our section. Properly cultivate< and Improved, these gatherings would go far toward preparing our people for the worst that can possibi; - come upon us. Once thoroughly united, the Souti has nothing to feir. We trust that every district of South Carolina wil send delegates to the Convention to meet in Mont gomery, Ala., on the 10th of next month, Edgefieli among the rest. Will not our Intendant see to this matter ? EUROPEAN NEWS. By the arrival of the Blritish Mall Steamer Ameri ea, we have dates from Livorpool to the 27th Maroh The sales of Cotton for the week ending March 25th * inclusive, were 65,000 bales; of which speculator, took 4,500 and exporters 9,500 halos, learing to th< trade 51,000 bales.

MON. UDWARD aVXRETT. It was our good fortune to hear this distinguished orator in Augusta, Friday last, tpon the occasion of delivering his famous Address on the Life and Char seter of OGostE WAusrNaToN. An immense audi. ence of ladies and gentlemen, filling the spacious Presbyterian Church of that City to its utmost ca pacity, attested by their presence and rapt attention their high appreciation of the noble orator and his more noble theme. We do not remember to have witnessed, at any time. a scene in whieh the fascina tions of rhetoric more completely swayed the hour. Arriving late with a friend, we were only able to ob tain a seat in the remotest corner of the building, having then between ourselves and the speaker the great bulk of the assemblage. Yet such was the per fect stillness which prevailed, the almost breathless silenee with which each hearer drank in every portion of the address, that scarcely a single word or accent escaped us. It was a high degree of decorum, eviden cing at once the excellent material of the brilliant as semblage and the magic powers of the man who thus held them enchained for the space of two full hours. The receipts of the afternoon considerably exceeded one thousand dollars, all of which, in conformity with Mr. EVERETT's liberal purposes in the matter of the Mount Vernon purchase, is to be placed at the discre tion of the Ladies' Mt. Vernon Assooiation. le has thus already been the direct instrument of raising over twenty thousand dollars in this hallowed cause of the daughters of Washington; and he continues unwearied and unflagging in his generous expendi ture of time, talents, and personal trouble, for the ad vancement of their suocess. That success, according to a late dispatch from Richmond, Va., has boon ren dored certain, and the title of the "predial shrine" has been transferred to the incorporated Mt. Vernon Association. To no single agency is this consumma tion more largely attributable, than to EDWAntD Ev rEatT's superb oration -and the consecrated uses to which he has devoted it. In the record of the achieve ment, his name will rank brighest in the constellation so strangely called into existence by the fervor, and perseverance, and love, and semi-inspiration, of " The Southern Matron " and her American sisterhood. Of the oration itself, the press has adopted the poli cy of avoiding to speak with critical particularity; and this doubtless with the tacit purpose of leaving it an entirely fresh treat for each successive audience. Sufficeo to say, that it is from beginning to end a rare and entranoing array of oratorical gems, of "thoughts that breathe and words that burn," of lofty senti ments, of chastened tropes and figures, of living, moving pen-paintings, all enhanced by a framework whose every component part is drawn from the "well of English undefiled." Criticism of course could lay claws upon some of its featuresc, (upon what could it not?) and carp at some seemingly important errors of omission. But it would be graceless to do so, at least now in the midst of the oration's run of applause and in view of the rich fruits it is bearing in a cause consecrated by the purity of woman's love and the emotions of a grateful patriotism. The address will soon be published, and then the tripod's acumen may be allowed to test its sharpness to the full. But at present, let the general meed of admiration stand un reversod, unchecked. Let the distinguisbed orator, with him brilliant performance, be cheered on, in his virtuous mission. Another day will decide whether the present public has been earriedaway by an unthink ing furor, or whether its hoart-decision has not rather f been consonant with the severest rules of taste. For one, we acknowledge with delight the charmed influ ences of the orator's power, and are indisposed, while still under them as it wore, to take exception to one or two supposed defects of manner or matter. Where perfection is so nearly attained, the critics should take to themselves the caution, " Procul, procud este, profuai." POLITICAL. Kansas, after all the confidence of Southern men in and out of Congress, has not been admitted under the Lecompton Constitution. The defeat of the measure is chargeable at last upon Southern men. The Southern Americans preferred playing false tc their section rather than vote with the Democracy and hence the result. Yet the measure has been so rejected by the House, as to leave open no fighting issue, no disunion Isue, It'was defeated by the' audiitii father ceme which would throw back upon Kansas the settlemon1 of the whole matter. The Senate however has not, and it is thought will not, accede to the Crittendee plan of adjustment; and, as we learn from several sources, there is a probability that Kansas & Lecomp. ton will be ecarried through yet. But it appears to be the feeling of southern me now, that the whole Kansas turmoil has been a hum bug, and that no issue of disunion should or cac spring out of it. What then ? Are we to have nec state-action from Texas, or from Alabamna ? 01 course not. No Southern man in Congress is sus peted of even dreaming about such a thing. The question is all a delusion, a fiasco. " There'. noth ing Sin it." Vapor, and smioke, and empty thunrder, all. So the end is not yet. lint it is coming in afe years perhaps. How? Well, Seward will be elected President, and then the South will certainly be off So this is to be the next ground-work of agitation, When the year 1860 shall roil around, then we shalI see what we shall see. Probably it may be as little prolific of disunion as the present annte doumini But, to take the other view, abolitionism rmay carry ?the day, anarchy may stalk abroad with glaring eyes and fanaticism may spring upon the temple of oui Sliberties and tear it into rorty thousand pieces. 0 cour'e then the South will set up fur herself. Wht wouldt? Therefore let us watch the storm, an1 Skeep our powder dry.

DEAR Sin: I notice an editorial in your last jour nal and also an extract from the Evening Newit, in both of which my name is used in a way which ro quires a response from me. I have answered the Evening News, and beg that you will do me the justice to publish that answer when you receive the News thatcontains it; and that you will also give a place in your journal to this com. munication. I have no objections to-the publication of any quo tation from any of my essays or speeches if it be done fairly, and I set at defiance all " Yankeedom" to make a handle of any thing which I have said or written to place me in a false position before the people of South Carolina. Mr. HALIiN quotes from my address de livered to the South Carolina Institute, and published in the Evening Keres, afterwards in De Bow's Review, July, 1857, page 123. I would like very much to see that Essay published entire in your journal, for I am satisfied it would do me credit, and show that Mr. HANLIN has made garbled statements. Any one who will visit Graniteville, can see for himself, how I appreciate female character, and what I have done for the labouring people of South Caro lina. Yours, respectfully, WM. GREGG. GRANITETILLE. April 5, 1858. For the Advertiser. TO LITTLE XAJNIE 3JE, IN HEAVEN. " Birds of Paradise still long to fee Baek to their natire natwwin." Hast thou left us little darling, Cherished flow'ret of our love? Left us for " Our Father's Mansion," In the realms of light above I Left us ore the dew of Heaven, Innocence, had left thy heart, Faded ere the world's false sunshine Bade that holy dew depart. Gone to join God's white-wing'd angels, Happy, blessed little band, Gone to sing pure love's evangels, In the holy promised land I Where the sunlight fadeth never, Where no cloud can ever come, Where the flow'rs bloom on forever In God's own eternal home ! Yet e'en tho' the stroke full gently, On the little Bower's heart, That blighted its short spring-day blooming With Death's blasting icy dart, The parent stem that lent it being, Out whose loving heart it grew, O'er its loved one now is drooping, And tears, the broken lower, bedew. For her now, blest little angel, Raise thy pure and holy hands, In thy Father's sacred presence, Where thy blessed spirit standp. Pray for thy heart-broken parents, Who cherished thee with fondest care, And pray for all who here still love thee, Angel, ever bright and fair! DAISY. From the Charlestun Evening News. TO THE EDITOR OF EVENING NEW8. KA.mu, March 30th, 1856. Dun Sin-My attention has just been called to an article in your journal of 20th inst.. call ing on Mr. Sas. H. Tayloi fo'r an explanation of certain quotations made by Mr. Hamlin, in an swer to Gen. Hammond's speech, also, to your paper of 22d with Mr. Taylor's reply, and some remarks from you in reference to mvself. As to my birth place, Mr. Taylor is right. My father was a citizen of South Carolina during the Revolutionary war, and was attached to the militia as a soldier in the defence of Charleston. After its surrender, on his march as a prisoner to Ninety-Six, in Abbeville District, he escaped from the enemy and moved to the State of V'ir einia, where I-was born. I have been a resi aent of South Carolina for thirty-four years. I do not know Mr. Hanmlin, and hiave' never had any correspondence with him. I presume he quotes from my address to the South Carolina Institute. The essay was dcliv eredin.sCharleston, and first published in the EReliinj News. I am satisfied that its republi cation entire would relieve me from the reproach iihthat gentlemar's g'arbled quotations might bring upon me, and afford conclusive proof of my patriotic intentions and desire to promote the best interest of my adopted State. The essay abounds in proof that General H1am mond's position is correct, and shows what a powerful and independent people we should be were we to add to our great staples the mechanic arts, and greatness that abound amongst us, and how entirely independent we could render our selves of a people, who, since the delivery of that address, have shown themselves to be our bitterest enemies. You wvill find the essay republished in Dellow's Review, July, 1851, page 123. In page 13:3, 1 use the following language: " From the best estimates that I have been able to make, I put down the white people, who ought to work, and who do not, or wh'lo are so employ ed, as to be wholly unplroductive to the State, at one hundred and twenty-five thousand." In this estimate, 1 intended, of course, to in clude male and female, old and young, all the country people, who obtain from the soil a mere living and no surplus, besides the middle and educated classes, who would be stimulated to action by the introduction of other branches of industry than planting cotton. That class would embrace those who are educated at our military schools, to lit them for carrying on the arts and commerce of our State, who now have to eni grate t'o other Stattes to seek employment. Every cotton factory operative calls into action at least three others, to carry on the v'arious branches of industry that spring from that source. Mr. Hamlin couples the above quotations with another passage in the essay, (page 135) where I speak of our poor sand hill population who occupy the barren lands of the State, and who are in reality but little in advance of the Indian of the forest. They constitute but a small por tion of our white population, and being almost wholly uneducated, would be elevated and made usefu llby factory employment. Respectfully, WM. GREUG. THE RESULT OP THE WEST POINT DUEL. The Montgomery C'onfderation of the 9th inst. sas: "We have been called upon to state that the duel which was to havc beeni fought at WVest Point yesterday between B~en Lane Posey, Esq., and samuel G. Rteid, did not take place, owing to the refusal of the challenging party, (Mr. Po sey,) to agree to the terms proposed by Mr. Reid. The weapons chosen by Mr. Reid were Mississip pi rifles, and thme distance thirty paces." The Montgomery Advertliser of the 9th inst sy:"'Alas, what perils do environ The man who meddles with cold iyon'" " The duel did not conme off. The parties wre all on the ground-Mr. Posey aent his chal lenge. Mr. Reid accepted, to fight with Missis ippi rifles, at thirty paces. Mr. Posey declined .to fight with rifles, and it was thereupon notified that Mr. Reid and his friend would be on the ground at 6 A. M., Thursday, the 8th inst., with rifles, to give him the redress ho had demanded, and that failing to appear they would feel dis charged from any further obligation to remain. Tey had previously refused to receive any fur ther communication from him. They went to the ground, waited one hour, and returned. Mr. Posey attempted to re-open 'negotiations ;' they refused to iotice any communications from him, ad returned by the morning train from West Point.

And as we are the only House in the City that invariably adhere to the ONE PRICE SYSTEM, We would call particular attention to this feature of our Trade, and ask all to consider its advantages it guarantees to the BUYER the LOWEST MAR KET PRICES. because it forces the SELLER down to the smallest sum he can afford to take for his goods, and of course BARGAINS cannot be expected from any other mode of doing business. gW Please notice that we rigidly adhere to ONE PRICE. WThat price we WARANTEE to be as low as the lowest. gWAnd that we never resort to the trick of. BAITING. Augusta, Apr 12 tf 14 State of South Carolina, EXECUTIVE.DEPARTMENT. W HEREAS the last General Assembly of South Carolina, with a wise forecast and a liberal regard for the public welfare, based as it is so essentially on the good sense and virtue of her citizens, enacted a law by which the Commission ers of Free Schools are authorized to establish a Normal School in the city of Charleston, to which the country districts will be entitled to send a cer tain number of pupils. And whereas the enterprising Board of St. Phil lips and St. Michael's have now in operation. at their excellent public school in the city, weekly exercises, which will serve to exemplifyr the bene fits of such an establishment. Now, therefore, I recommend to the several Boards of Commissioners of Free Schools in the State to appoint, at their next quarterly meeting, on the fourth Monday in A pril, and depute one or more of their number to visit the said public school (St. Phillips street) in Charleston, at their conve nience, so as to be able to report the result of their observation at the'quarterly meeting, on the fourth Monday of October next. Also, I do hereb'y invite all the Teachers of Free. School-scholars throughout the State to coime apd) see for themselves how the .said Public School is conducted,' and what are the uses of a Normal School. As the expenses of such a visit might put it out of the power of many to come, however much they may desire it, I will venture to say for the good citizens of Charleston, that the houses of many residents will be opened to any Teacher who shall be provided with a letter of introduction, or with the certificates of the President and Secretary of the Board of Commissioners at home. Failing in tils, or in case a public house is preferred, It af fords mec pleasure to announce that Mrs. Kennedy, of the American Hotel, in King street, will, on ac count of this Departinent, take care of any Teach er of a Free school whso will deposit with her, his or her certificates from the President and Secreta ry of the District Board of Commissioners for which he or she may be emp~oyed, from the first of June to the fifth inclusive. Furthiermiore, I appeal to the proper authorities of the railrnads and other public conveyances, hy means of which they must reach the city, to in struct their several agents, upon the exhibition to them of the said1 certiticates, to pass all such Teachers of Free Schools, and one Commissioner from each Board, going~ down fur the purpose herein set forth, for one fare, going and returnmng. I am assured that the Commissioners of Free Schools for St. Phillips and St. Michael's will take pleasulre in atording every facility to the Teachers ad others, to observe and profit by the improved methods. Visitors will only have to apply to C. G. MEMMINGER, Esq., Chairman, or to any mnember of the Board, at thme Public School h ouse, in St. Phillips street, to he admitted at, the proper hours. A fixed time has been mentioned, from the first to thme fifth Junec. Better for all parties, if it be at all convenient, to adlopt this app~ointnment; but if there be impediments to prevent any Teachers from coming at that time, the Commiissioners will receive them at any other time in May or June, including Saturday as one of the days.
