THE KERCURY AND STANDAD CON3OLIDATED. The Mercury, of the fifth instant, announces that its proprietor "has purchased the Charles ton Standard, with its subscription lists and good will, and proposes to vu-rge the two papers into one, and to send the Mercury to each of the Standard." L. W. Spratt & Co., remark in regard to the sale, that, "in duime so, they are assured they have acted not against the wishes of the subst-ri bers and advertising patrons of the Standard, for they regard the Mercury as now upholding the principles and g'eneral line of policy for the promotion of which the Standard was first es tablished." This is certainly news to us, as well as. a great many iu our section. We have al ways thought that the principles "for the pro motion of which the Standard was first estab lished," were as widely different from those of the Mercury as any leading principles in the South ever have been from each other-that they were diametrically opposed-and we hope, even now, that the Mercury does not place a broad construction upon the above. The notice of L. W. Spratt & Co., farther states that the Mercury "is with the Democratic party and sustains the Administration." This is also to us news of import ! We thought that against the tendencies and some of the leading acts and principles of this party, at least,-that the Mercury had ever waged a manful warfare. Nationalism and consolidationism, such as prop abated by the Democratic party, under existing circunstances, we thought were regarded by the Mercury as the shoals and quicksands of the political sea against which the South- should carefully steer, as involving her wreck and ulti mate subjugation and ruin. We are at a loss to conceive what new phase of nationalism has been recently presented by the Democratic party, which could successfully recommend it to the favor and support of the Mercury. We think the Mercury should enlighten its readers in this section upon these points. If an actual construction be placed upoin them, the only reasonable conclusion is, that it has changed its course, and now stanels side by side with the Carolinian, Edg.field Advertiser, &.-Suntr Watchman. We cannot but express surprse at the above remarks, taken from the last issue of the Sumter Watchman, calling in question the position of the Mercury. We can see nothing t: hatever in the language we have used to give rise to any doubts, but will, in respect to our cotemupory, notice the matter briefly. In gegard to "upholding the principles and general Tine of policy for the promotion of which the Standard was first established," it is perti nent to inquire what these were. In 1850, all parties in South Carolina claimed to be State Rights Democrats, believing in the right of se cession, and the propriety of exercising it on the occasion of the California swindle. These were the principles. But a portion of the people, headed by Cheves, Barnwell, and Butler, opposed the policy of the separate action of South Caro lina, after other had failed. They preferred to wait for co-operate action of at least several States. This was the policy, and the State. in . convention, decided to adopt it. The Mercury has long abandoned the separate action of the State, and seeks bonafide the union of theSouth for action on any proper occasion. In reference to the Mercury being "with the Democratic party, and supporting the Adminis tration," we should really like to know with what party it should be, or whom it should support. The principles of the Democratic party are cor rect, and the Administration is sustaining them. We are not aware of any issue now before the country which would compel us to be against the party for a deviation from its principles, or to attack the Admainistration. A definition of oar Democracy may readily be found in the fol lowing languave of August last: We are no llational Democrat-that is, a taritif Democrat, or an Internal Improvement Demo crat, or a Consolidation Democrat. We deem all these terms the expediencies of the most miserable political hypocrisies to disguise the betrayal of Democratic principles on the various points of policy they designate-old Federalisms -h-ross abuses of the Constitution-inventions of the worst enemies of the Democratic party, becanse polluting its integrity, belying its prin ciples and degrading its moral power to the foul uses of Consolidation. We are Democrats simple Democrats, according to, the creed of the . great and ilustrious founders of the Democratic party, as laid down in '98 and '99 in their in mortal production; and as contradistinguished frem Latonal Democrats. We are State Righls Democrats. Between a Democrat and a State Rights Democrat, there can indeed be no differ ence, for the one is necessam ily the other; and we assume the latter, because there is no differ ence in the meaning of the terms. For the Administration, since the dismissal of Walker, it has been as true to the South as the most sanguine had any reason to expect. It has stood by the South, and quarreled wit~h Douglas, the great leader of tih# party. J..t has suffered accordingly, and has gone through the trying ordeal to the satisfaction of our best Southern men in Congress. We see no reason for with holding oar support-a support accorded by the State and her members of Congress, anid there fore give it cheerfully and comlially.-Me1rcrury. CANADA AND aRaBra AT HAT-rTAX. HALrAX, July 16.-The steamship Canada, previonsly telegraphed from Cape Race, and the steamship Arabia, which left Boston on the 14th. both reached this point to-day.

Sever-al of the districts in France, in conse quence of the long continued drotught, are fear ful of suffering from want of a supply of water. The Corsicans (who are mostly of Italian de scent, and inhabitants of one of the departments of France) have been prohibited from carryinp arms. This order itis believed has been regarded necessary in consquence of the daily sanguina ry scenes enacted between the French and Rto man soldiery.

Rav. R. W. Bamxwzmtr..-We see by our Vir ginia exchanges that Prof. Barnwell, of our Col lege, has been elected to the Presidency of Wil liam and Mary College. This is a merited coin plimnent to the talent and acquirement of our young professor. It will be a satifaction to see in what appreciation our professor is held abroad. We have not learned whether Mr. Barnwell will accept. This much may be premised, that the inducements would be very strong to induce him to sever his relation with the old Alma Mater. William and Mary is one of the oldest institu t'ons in the United States. His installation in the Presidency would be the ingraft of a young but vigorous head upon venerable shoulder.

We much roga'et to state that a pegro boy belonging to Mr. Lawrs Josas of this place was killed by another belonging to Mr. PanaxNTn of this District, on Wednesday last. The fatal wound was inflicted by a single blow from a stick In the hands of the latter. Hie is under arrest awaiting his trial. DEATH OF HON. JOIEl A. QUITMAN. By telegrapic despatch from Natehes, Miss., we learn that the lion. Jonx A. QLITMAN died near that city on the morning of the 17th inst., from a disease contracted in Washington. It is generally known that General Q'ITxAN was a boarder at the National Hotel in Washington, at the time of the disease which proved so fatal to so many persons; and from the ef fects of which len. Qc'rrx~a never recovered. Thus has fallen another strong man of the South in the midst of usefulness and honor. Brave in bat. tie, generous in iis social relations, and energetic in his civil duties, Mississippi has lost in him one of her most estimable statesmen. The whole country will symputhize with her in this sad bereavement. TIE CONCERT. The pupils of our Female Institute gave a concert at their Academy buildings on Friday evening last, which was well received by a select audience. The girls were looking very pretty, and discharged their several parts with zeal and spirit. Miss Msans, the instructress, presided over the performances with a quiet and lady-like care. Sonc of the pieces were executed very creditably. So wore some of the songs, especially the duett by Misses M. S. and K. Cl. But no one looks to an occasion of this sort for entertain ment. Sutlicient, if the exercises give evidence of progress among the scholars. Such was the case in the present exhibition, as we are assured by several persons who have children and wards In this institu tion, and who of course know best the degree of their improvement. "STATES RIG IITS." The article offered by "A Regular Reader" upon this subject, is declined for several rdasons. First, it is an exceedingly crude re-hash of an argument which no longer admits of contradiction in thais lati tude. Secondly, the writer's tone of lamentation over the degoneracy of his fellow-citizens conveys an un founded imputation upon their good sense and patri otism. And thirdly, we can see no point or justice in his sweeping condemnation of the present political leaders in our State. This cry of "States Rights" seems to have became a very toeain with certain pa. pers as well as individuals in South Carolina. If one laud our good old President, or complimnent any Northern patriot, or approve a measure whtich may have owed its passage to the help of Northern votes, or utter a hope that the Union may yet outlive the shock of fanatical agitators, use is warned that he is departing from the "good old States Rightss princi ples of Sooth Carolina." And if he but hint at the possibility of deriving benefit from the Democratic party of the Uni'on, he is false to the teachings of Mr. Caaux, recreant to the memory of other days, and State, Righata have no longer a place in his affections. If in addition to this he may chance to look with honorable ambition to any Federal position, then Staces Rtiye and he have assuredly parted company forever, and he is gone ever to the enemy,' body and soul. Such gabble is not only tiresome but provok ing. It is more than thtis: it is stupid and untruth ful. All South Carolinians are States Rights mena. All Sound Democrats too are Ststes Rights men. It is almost as insulting now to doubt a Southerner's or thodoxy upon this political doctrine, as his belief of the New Testament. And yet a few wiseacres, here and there, insist upon considering thenaselves the sole defenders and preservers oif this sacred fire. But for themn, the idea is, it would die in its ashes, and all the hopes of republican freedom would tumble intg thu chaos of centralization. Ridiculous delusion I A NEW COUNTERFEIT. The Augusta Cuontitutionamlist, of the 18th inst., says: A new counaterfeit twenty dollar bill on the Blank of 11amburg, was offered at the Mechanic's Bank in this city on yester-ay. The bill was in a package of money received from Tennessee. Thae counterfeit is a good imitation of the genuine bill, but the filling up is poor and the paper rather too diark. The date on the bill is October 6th, 185.6. DISASTER TO THE CABLE FLEET. Intelligence was received at New York, on the li tha inst., that the Agamnemnon, the English stearnship en gaged in laying a portion of the Atlantic cable, was nearly lost in a gale. During the storm, the coils of cab~le broke loose fromn their palaces on the steamer, whichl cauased con siderable derangetnent to the cable. No other intelligence of the squadron has been re eived. - "THE TRUE POLICY." Under this heading, our coteamporary of the Caro linaian comments upon the position of the Mer51cury as set forth in an article whaich we copy on another column. It will he observed, by a perusal of the re marks of those two ptrominent and influential jour nals, that our dilferences in South Carolina are not only vanishing, but are giving place to a strong corn bintion of spirit and intelllgence on the plstform of Southern Co-opration,-a platformn identical, as we take it, with the Georgia platformn of 1852. We quote the language of the Caroliaian, approving the ie eury's course : " In this policy, we believe the JIereuary will come as near receiving the approbation of the unanimous voice of the Stats as is within ths rnnge of human possibility. We are not of those who conceive that to harmonise and co-operate with the party once,is to be considered as sacrificing all independence. and becoming thereby a mere pawn of the political chess board, to be put here or there as thes game of party may demand. He who wishes to sell himself, or is by aature so destitute of Individuality as to thus sac. riflce his independence, could not be prevented, nor 'saved. Such men, in party or out of party, would be mere cyphera-they could never be anything else. The man of self-reliance and of distinct principles, looks to those principles; his prime object is their advanement-and he can consistently, and should, unite with party to inaugurate them. To refuse to do so is nothing less thtan recreaney to political duty. When the party departs from those, then it is the duty of the man of pra>.ciple to depart from the party. Of this we have a most striking illustration in Mr. Calhoun. We do not believe any ptublic man co-op erated with the Democratic party with more intense satisfaction than did he ; because, whea he acted with it, he was acting for the principles of the States Rights party. We sometimes found him co-operating with It, and caucussing for its success. But the mo ment the party deviated from its principles, his co operation eased. Are we to learn nothing from his example? Is it unworthy of our imitation? The Southern States have a comamon interest-the guiding star of their destiny is the same-and South Carolina would be unworthy of "a place in the picture" of the struggles for constitutional rights, did she piersiat in adhberinag to the course of isolationu, and timidly shrink from laying he'r stroag hanad upon the helma and in the comnpanay and cotnfidence of her sisters, embarking boldly upon the ceomon voyage. pa- An exchange says that the Indian Chief Billy Bowlegs-is called by fashionable ladies Wil SOUTh CAROLINA. It is really bracing to one's political animus, to per ceive the evident indications of a returning unity of o: sentiment and oneness of action among the political o men and -the political journals of our State. The ej feeling would seem to be general too among the peo. ple, that the time is past forliigl-sounding resolves e on the part of South Carolina upon each and every issue of Federal politics as it arises. Fiery indigna- tl Lion has been superseded in the public mind by calm I determination ; and the consequence is, that whereas I our State was once ever ready and eager to plunge h into exciting measures of redress and resistance upon every occasion of Federal wrong, she Is now prepared C to weigh these causes mnure calmly and decide her -d course in respect to them only upon a full survey of P the threatened evil and after mature consultation with her sister States of the great Slaveholding South. In other words, her presentestablished policy is Southera ,union for ,Sutahern snfery,-this union to be achieved, t not by ultra and impracticable spasmodic efforts to break up the Amerieaan Confederacy, but by a steady concentration of Southern thought and Southern en thusiasm to the destruction of those influences which j wage war upon our political rights under the Consti- a tution, and to the repeal of all such Federal enact- S ments as unjustly depress the interests of our section 2 or stand in the way of a complete recognition of our , equal rights as sovereign members of the American Union. As corollary to our concerted action with the t rest of the South, it is now also further understood o that our only available policy is to act in connection c with the Democratic party and the present Adminis tration ; and this, for the manifest reasons, (1) that the South herself -composes the strength of that par ty, and (2,) that President Eucais.ax has fully es tablished his claims to Southern confidence by his resolute adherence to Truth, Justice and the Consti tution. In the language of the Charleston Mercury p moreover, " the principles of the Democratic party are correct and the administration is sustaining them." They are at least far more correct than any other po litical creed of the day; it is for the South to guard i against any deviation from the direct line of those a principles. In this, there can be no shadow of doubt that she will realize the hearty co-operation of the t present patriotic Chief Magistrate of the United n States. We are encouraged to take position thus as a State, by the increasing prospects of reform which invite us to enter upon this course of policy. There is a very different state of matters existant now, from that which surrounded us in the days of Nullification. Then, the political tide was pouring on to Consolida tion, and to the Tyranny o9f a reckless majority. Now, the Rights of the States are emblazoned in bold col ors not only upon the banners of the South, but upon many also in other divisions of the Confederacy. Then, a Protective Tariff of hideous proportions was bear- b ing down with crushing effect upon our prosperity. Now, the burden has been lessened at our demand, until at length the dawn of Free Trade and Direct ti Taxation is rising to view. A great change has like- f wise come over the face of affairs since the more re- 1 cent days of our Secession nitvement. The "Cali fornia swindle" was indeed a monstrous wrong,-well ., calculated (as m.ny of us then thought and still ( think) to snap asunder the bonds of the Union. It a was enough (wo thought) to arouse the South in all her borders to action and revolution. But the mnajori ty, in South Carolina as elsewhere, decided against extreme measures. They hoped for better days, where all the future scented dark and disheartening; and it is not to be denied that in this instance, "Wisdom has been justified of her children." The winds have veered and the sky has brightened. The Dred Scott decision, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, andi ti~p recognition of the Kansas Slavery Constitution, are unmistakeablo evidences of this change. Thec firm stand of the Democracy despite the dangerous I defalcation of Douglass and his followers, and the noble tone and bearing of the Administration, are as surances that the change Is to be progressive in its re sults. The South sees this ; South Carolina with the rest accepts and trusts the olive-leaf of promise thus held out by the Constitutional conservatism of the country. HI.uxo.ND, Oaa, Dorca, KEnrT, MI.Es and McQuuz,-almnost her entire delegation in Congress, and representing every shade of opinion amongst her people,-are shaping 4er coui-se consonancewith this juist expectation 'df the triumph of the united South. So, we doubt not, is our immediate represen tative, General Bosn.x; although we are not cer tain what divergence of views (if any) is indicated by his late vote on the Kansas Conference Bill. As with the public men of the State, so with the press,-weo find the ranks, lately distracted by contending views< of policy, gradually cementing and forming an almomsti united phalanx in accordance with the course andi counsels of our congressmen ; and these together re present, we believe, the true mnind of the people of South Carolina. Let then our brethren of the South and the conservativp men of the whole country know, that our little State stands united and ready, await-t ing but the signal of her political friends, to enact any duties that may be assigned her, which have for their object the lRights of the States, the unshackled e prosperity of all sections, and the integrity of the Constitution. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. A mong the remnarkable men of the day, there are none of his age more so than the distinguished repre sentative of tour mountain Congressional District, ~ lion. JAMEs L. Onn. Still a young man, lie has [ without apiparent efort succeeded in reaching onte of the highest anti most honorable posts in te American I Gloveranment. This success is certaintly inot of that I flimsy kind which is sometimes attained b~y mere pier sonal address; Neither can it be said to have resutlte, as some have enviously conjecturedi, fruom political trickery and intrigue. Col. Onna, we take it, is as far from political dishonesty as lhe is from the practice of hypocritical mannerism. His course has been that oft a dowerighat man and an out-spoken representative, I whether in home differences or in Congressional con troversies. Yet he hasi gone strait forward in an al- I most unimopeided career of success. It is his manly ' ability, whtich bast carried himt along to his present elevated position before the country. In testimony , of the fact that he lhas evinced the highest qualifica- ~ tions for that position, we.quote the following striking a compliment paid to him liy the intelligent Washin'g- it ton Correspondent of the Alabiama Contfederatire: "Col. Orr has proved himself most capable of per- - forming the arduous and responsible duties as presid- ~ ing officcr over the greatest deliberative body in thse worlid, and I claim for bins unhesitatingly that if he is ntot superior he is the equal of any tof the distin guished gentlemeni whto ever occulaied te Speaker's chair.

Yesterday we saw a very beantiful monument Sthe mtemory of our lamented Brooks, which Snow compjleted and at the marble yard of Ir. W. TI. Whlite, of this city. Th'is mionument Sof the obelisk form, pure inarbule, of the finest nality, and finished in the umost artistiec uid workmanlike manner. It is fourteent feect . igh from the pedimetnt, antd five feet att hawsm. 'ear tihe top or point of the obelisk, is a neatly ~ e'siigned arabesque, and below, in the centre nmd front side 3f the monument, is the coat of rms of the State of South Carolina, elaborately -orked and carved by ap artist of great skill. |eow this, and on the dise of the obelisk, is an ry wreath, ini bold relief, encirelintg thme follow tg approriate inscription: PRESTON S. BROOKS, Born in Edgefield Village, 6th August. 1819. ( Elected to the State Legislature in 1844. lected Captain of Co. D). Palmettom Regiment, in 1846, and served during the Mexican War. Elected to Congress in 1553. nd died in Washington City, D. C., 27th Jan. 1857. On another side, in a similar wreath, will ap ear thme following: " Ever able, manly, just and heroic ; illustrating 'uo patriotism by his devotion to his country ; the holo South unite with his bereaved family in do Lring his untimely end.". And on the obverse side to the above, this iscription will be placed : Earth has never pillowed upon her bosom a truer son, or.Heaven opened wide her gates to receive a man 1ier spirit.". On the back of the obelisk is this incription: Preston S.

P THE CUE AT GRAJITE SPRING. r 'Twas a pleasant time we spent on Saturday last, s company with a number of gentlemen, at Granite jA pring, the beautiful residence of that estimable and C rue gentleman, Col. A. S. It was a day fraught with I much real enjoyment and solid amusement, the mem ry of which will create .pleasant. emotions in after r ears. By 10 A. M. the guests had assembled, and y rith spirit entered at once in pursuit of the pleasure m hat was in store for them. Interesting and health avigorating games-ten pins, roulette, &c.,-were j stroduced and prosecuted with considerable energy j -and, in some instances, with skill seldom surpassed. I nd delightful boat exenrsinns were made over the 'olonel's fish pond near by. And music-sweet mu ie-the lute, violin and guitar, in the hands of Col. m. S., C. A. and M. L., made the occasion doubly at. d ractive with their dulcet and liquid strains of artis ic music. And there was E. B., the "Joe Sweeny" c f Carolina, with his Banjo in good plight, from a rhich he extracted " Down in de wilderness," " Old ti lob Ridley," &e., with the greatest gusto, and to the n afinite delight of those present. In fact, all was ife and animation. N About one o'clock dinner was announced-and uch a dinner! But we are compelled to leave a des- I ription of that barbecuo dinner entirely to the im- t gination of the reader,-we know our incapacity to s lo the table justice. A desperate attack was made on he well-prepared barbecue meats and other things b pread before us, and after a pleasant and vigorous ngagement of a half an hour's duration, the party p etreated in slow and measured strides towards the hady grove nearer the Spring. Here the side-split- a ing anecdotes and well-told stories and the loud and ong ha-ha's detained the merry company no ineon iderable time. But it is useless to say more. Sufiee it to state that rith the good dinner, the choice fruits and melons, he good music, fine amusements, and last, but not east, the good liquors, we had as great a time as wenty men could well stand. Near sun down the crowd dispersed-under many bligations to Col. S., for the kind and hospitable on ertainment he had given, and with the heartfelt wish hat he and his might be spared many long, long rears, in the blissful enjoyment of peace, health and appiness, at Granite Spring. "So mote it be." t BARLOW. t nY REQt.ST. From the Charleston Mercury. UNITED STATES SENATOR. Mn. Eneron: We respectfully propose for the I ffice of United States Senator from this State, ;he name of Col. William A. Owens, of Barn well. Of the character and qualifications of a rentleman so well and favorably known, it is pot necessary to speak at large. He is in the maturity of his manhood, being between thirty ive and forty ycar-s of age, and from his active r ud early participation in public affairs has ac 1uired an experience and knowledge unusually xtensive for that period of life. To show his sninent qualifications for the office in question, t is only necessary to advert to his career at the gar and in the legislature. Having entered spon the practice of the profession of law im. nediately upon attaining his majority, his tal mts and dihigence soon placed him among the oremost at the bar of his district, which was at he same time numerous and able, and as an aoquent and successful advocate he now stands tuong the most distinguished in the State. His >olitical career is known to all. He was elected - Smember of the House of Rep'resentatives in l4$, and retained his seat until 1R5M, when he leined a re-election. T1his period of six years vas an eventful one in our history, and many lestions, both local and federal, touching tho ighest interests of the State, and requiring the argest capacity and greatest firmness for their l ettlemnent, came up for discussion. -In, every: , lebate which arose, Col. Owens took a proma ient and distinguished part, and established for aimself a reputation eqnalled by few and sur )assed by none of his comnpeers. His eminent apacity for public office, united as it is with un mpeachable integrity and spotless honor in all he relations of private life, ought to be devoted o the service of the State; and it is certain hat, nowhere, in the present juncture of affairs, vi his high moral and intellectual qualilica ,ions be more valuable and etiict than in the enate of the United States.

OBITUARY, DrIPARTED this life, at his residence in Edgefield histrict. S. C., on the lit of May, 1858, LEVI Me IANIEL. in the 80th year of his age. The subject of this notice was born April 25th 79-joined the Calliham Church by baptism in the ear 1828, and since that time has lived an orderly nd consistent member of the Church ; and gave evi ence to all that be had passed from death unto life. We sympathize with his bereaved companion and ildren, and with the Church with whom he was a ember, in their affliction ; but truly it may bo said f him, that "our loss is his eternal gain." Let us, aerefore bow to the hand of an All-wise Providence -ho " worketh all things after the counsel of his own 'ill," and prepare to meet our departed brother and ther where the wicked cease from troubling and the eary are at rest. PASTOR. DEPARTED this life, on the 15th May last, at his ite residence near Hamburg, WILLIAM FOY in de 79th year of his age, leaving an aged widow and ix children to mourn their loss. The deceased was a son of PETEn Fo, who was illed by the Tories, in this District, during the loody struggles of the Revolutionary War. In all the relations of life, he sustained an Irre roachable character. He was an affectionate hus and, fond father, a kind and obliging neighbor, and n humble, heavenly-minded Christian, possessing in n eminent degree the ornament of a meek and quiet pirit. He was for fifty years a zealous and faithful iember of the Methodist Church-lived a holy, pious ud humble life, and adornadhis profession by a "well rdered walk and Godly conversation." His house was for many years the welcome home f the Preachers of the Gospel, and long will they old in grateful remembrance the favors received rom his kind and hospitable family. The last few years a his life he was called in the rovidence of God to endure the deepest afflictions ad sufferings. But he was wonderfully sustained by he grace of God, and led through his fiery trials rithout being overcome. The writer of this humble tribute to his memory as been well acquainted with him for many years, .nd he can truly testify, that but few men of his ac tnaintance have borne a more illustrious and anima ing testimony to the truth and power of Christianity han old Father Foy in his life and death. But his rork is done, his race is ended and he is no doubt ;ono where the "wicked cease from troubling and the reary are at rest." When on the bed of death, In the midst of all his ain and sufferings he was calm, and patient, and sappy, and was never heard to utter a word of com laint or murmuring. le often expressed himself n the strongest terms of confidence and triumph as o his future prospects. Thus our fathers in the Church are leaving us, and utering into their rest in heaven. May his surviving amily and friends follow him as he followed the laviour, and be prepared to share with them in the ewards of the just. E. P. Complimentary Dinner!
