CHABLURTON cOlUsa NDENC . CHARt1ir2TON, September 18, 1958. Dear Adve,tiser: ln re'uming my weekly chit chat whh' your readers. permit mne to begin with my warmest good wirhes to youraelf and themi, 1r your health and happiness. Our regular .eriod fir the re-opening of buasiners for the Fall and Winter .anpaigu has duly arrived. but I fear, from preeit indications. will ucessarily be for some time postpeed. Since my !ast. the Yel low Fever has not only become an epidemic, but, as you state in your last paper, it is but tdo true, that it "is raging" in some particularly infected portions of the lower part of the City. Our daily Journals are giving you, eandidly, and fully, the whole facts of the case for they are well awage that any attempt to disguise the truth or allay exaggerated fears, is worse than useless, andonly serves to cause tlistrust abroad. There is no disposition here to deny that the Fever is prevailing extensively, and increasing daily, and that many of the caes are of a very malignant type At first it was confined entirely to the shipping and to the lower orders, aud continued for several weeks to select its victims from the most crowded and filthy neighborhoods. Moving with slow but sure pace it made its way gradually through the heart of the City, and has at length reached the upper Wards, which have heretofore enjoyed a most remarkable ex emption. It has now secured a firm footing and but for some unforeseen interposition which we have as yet little reason to anticipate, there is no ground to hope for its fisal disappearance until frost. We would therefore advise all of our frieuds who are absent, not to think of returning befure that anxiously looked for period. Our oldest physicians recommend, that all of us, whether native or unacelimated, should avoid all unnecessary expopure to night air, or change of air; that those who are already at home remain there quietly, and that all who have left should stay where they are. All children and minors (under 21) are alike liable to the disease, and there have been several instances of fatal cases among negroos residing here temporarily. The mortality however, bas so far, fallen short of 1854, as statistics recently published clearly show. - The epidemic of that year enmmenced about the third week in August, and the first official report was made on the 19th, announcing 4 de.umb. The largest number of deaths was for the week en-ting 16th Sep tember, (thefifth week of its reign) 127. From that date it began gradually to decline until the 25th No. vember when 5 deaths were reported-Total for 1854 -618. In 1356, the first report appeared on 9th Au gust, (1 deatb)-the fever gradually increasing until 4th October, when it reaches its maximun 32, and then declined rapidly until 22d November, when one death was reported. Total for 1856, 206. The firet report for the present year was one death for the week ending 7th August-the fever steadily increas ing but altogether confined to lower part of Tradd and Guignard Street., Bedon's Alley, and such re sorts,-until the beginning of September, when the announcement of 73 deaths produced a general feel ing of apprehension among our citizens for the safety of their unacelimated friends and children, and al, persons who designed leaving at all were advised to do so at once. Many who pruferod running the or deal of acclimation, having all their interests here for life, decided to remain, and wore urged by no meaus to change the air, and to avoid all exposure. Last Monday's report (103 deaths) brought us to the end of thc .irth ucrek,-the totid number of deaths amounting to 250-against 365-for the sixth wouk of 1854, ending 23d September,. when the decline had commenced. On Wednesday night, the wind .blow heavily, with torrents of rain, producing a marked change in the atmosphere, the Thermometer falling to fl3* (the lowest point since 12th May last) -and we have since been enjoying a delightful spell of clear bracing October weather, bitting and slue-ping with closed doors and windows. Whether this change will eventually oheck the progress bf the fever, (the tine being now at hand when we may look for some Improvement, in accordance with former experience) remains yet to be'seen. Monday's report will scarce ly he a fair critarion, as the largest amount of mor tality which it records may have occurcd in the early part of the paat week. -There Is hardly any other topic broached-It is the engrossing theme of conversation every where, at the corners of the streets, in every group-every fammily circle-and yill continue to be so, until the arrival of the great Frigate Niagara, which is daily expected of our Bar, to carry away the Africans from Fort Sumter. This event will, for a short time, break in upon the monotomy, and gives us something else to talk and think about. As the Frigate will not probably he able to come into the Harbor, our Steamers and Tugs will bu in requisition, and no doubt some of us will try hard to get a glimnyse of her. You hare of course kept pace 'aith the history of the captured negroes, and are piosted upi In all that has occurred since the arrival of the Echo, including the several transfers of the captives from the Brig to Castle Pinckney, and thence to Fort Sumter-the im prisonmnent of th. crew, examinations before the United States Commissioner, andI proceedings in the U. S. District Court. The trial takes place at Co lumbia on the 4th November, before Associnte Justice Wayne of the Supreme Court. The negroes will re main at Fort Sumter In cuistody of the U. S. Marshal until their final transfer to the Niagara. A vast amount of discussion has b~een elicited-a good deal of bravado wasted-and perhaps a valua ble fund of solid reasoning brought to bear upon the questions involved in this transaction, which may re sult in something being hereafter done to effect a compromise between the conflicting demands of law and public opinion on this subsject. Thu general sen timent here is, I think, opposed to the )'enail feature of the law which makes the Slave-tradle piruuey. The reflecting portion of our people are not rabid on the subjet of re-opening the Slave-trade. They have no '-higher law'' doctrines to excite them to rebellion against the laws of the land--and (as, is the case with spany in reference to the infliction of capital punish. anent for any crime) while natural feeling revolts at the m~ode of punishment, they are, with very few ex ceptions, prepared to uphold and abide by the laws of their coutry, whatever the malice or jealousy of their Northern brethren may assert to the contrary. In these dull times, but little can be gleaned from the scanty records of the business world. There was a fair demand for Cotton in the early part of the week, but dealers were unable to come to terms, so that the sales have been limited to about 1450 Dales at 91@121 cents ; 97 Bales having changed hands at the last named rates. The receipts during the week amounted to 2384 Bales. 1,000 Bushels Maryland *Corn sold at 90cts. We have received some 5000 Bushel: of wheat by Rail Road-6442 Bushels were exported coatwise. $1,05 lhne been offered and re fused for good Red. The exports of Flour reached 3451 barrels. The trade in these three articles has been seriously affected by the stringent Quarantine restrictions placed upon vessels sailing out of this port. Our Stock of Bacon is very large and inereas ing.

CHEW.-The death of this worthy citizen took place on Thursday after noon. He bad long been confined to his room by a dropsical affection, and as his family and friends were aware for months past that his dis case was incurable, his death was not unexpected. Mr. Chew was a gentlemian of high integrity ; anid to amiability of temper added the refining qualities of Christian deportment. By industry, economy, perseverance and fair dealing, he ac quired a handsome estate, although he com menced his early efforts with very humble means.

M1flAE LUTTELS TO THlE I15NIIAM DINNIC. We wore mistaken last week in announcing that we had publi-bed- the last of the letters to the BuSILLIu dinner. Under this misapprehension and in conse quence of the temporary absence of some of the con mitten, we were not corrected until matter was set up for this issue. We have now the letters of Cels. A. J. GaEx, J. D. ALLMI., B. F. PaRn, J. A. IsOL5SS, Lotis T. WIVOALL, Capt. U. M. Romaits and JAss GARPDER, 1sq.. which we will publish next week. A CORRECTION. Our late Senator and Representatives- authorize us t make the following corrections in the Managers of Elections as published last week. At Egelfield C. 1.,-Geo. A. Addison etee Wm. Logue, dead. Coleman's X Ronde-David Richardson vtce Thomas Coleman, dead. Wn. S.iyley's-James S. Pow elee J. W. Herrin, removed. YELLOW PFVER. We have just read a letber dated Charleston 18th inst., which says that the fever is very severe in that city, and that from twenty-five to thirty die daily. See " CLAUD'S" letter for further particulars. A gentleuman of Savannah Informs a lady in this Village that there were thirty deaths in that city from Yellow Fover, for th-e week ending on Friday last. p Our correspondents who have favored us with articles for publication will receive attention as soon as possible. WHAT'S THE MATTER 1 Our Augusta exchanges, the Chronicle & Sentinel, Cosatutiondiat and iputch, for the past thre weeks have been received very irregular at this place. What can the mnatter be? They are frequently three and four days behind time. Look into it by friend Sievrus, if you please. TElE JCIVER. The recent fall of Rain has caused a rise in our river, (says the Augusta Dipntch) and boats find no difficulty in loading and unloading at our wharves. [If such rains as we have experienced for the past three or four days, have extendod any distance in the up-country, it will continue navigable for somo weeks to come. The Boats are doing a good business, arri ving and departing well freighted. A LOVELY SEASON. The autumn has come in most beautifully, with a cool, pure, bracing atmosphere, and skies of the love liest blue. During the past week, the thermometer stood, at an early hour in the morning, at between 50b and 00*. There was a rumor of a slight frost, but that must be a mistake. Cotton is opening rap. idly. Corn is ready for gathering. Pea-vines are fturishing. And there have only been about 200 .tteo returned to the fall term of the Court of Law. H'S ARTICLIZ. Peruse the priduction of" 1" upon another column. It contains good sentiments. But we think " I" is unnecessarily alarmed about Southern Nationalism. When the doctrine of States Rights was confined to the few, there was indeed cause of apprehension; But now that it has become the living faith of the eutire South, and is ruling the country through the Democratic piarty, it does seem to us that such fore bodings, as "1II" indulges in, are rorc et1preferea nihil. As to our view of the remarks of Gur. ADAsMs, parhaps we did not see it exactly as we ought to have dune. But believing that to "purchase" slaves in Africa necessarily involves "plunder and robbery," we could not perceive any justice in coa~trasting those engaged in that business with our traders who ope rnte in a civilized country and under civilized re strictions. -..--..-. EXPLANATORY. In publishing the card of Mr. DAVID CDnDSTIAN, we must express our dissent fromn his construction of Mr. 0 Aun's language.. It seems to us clear enough that Mr. G. made no such general charge as that Hasaw Canumvi, deceased, was a card-case keeper of a Faro Bank. Kis words are, that the deceased was "at thaut time the card-case keeper of that Faro Bank." No comment is needed. We also think that Mr. OAav's statement of what he said in Court should be fully accepted by all who m:my have taken offence at what they conceived to be the hearing of his remarks. Not to accept it, evines a spirit of opposition which would seem to have Its source outside of the issue in hand.

Our readers have been surfeited with opinion after opinion upon the Conferencemeasure of the lust session of Congress, from private as well as public men. If 1 they have seen the mutter as we have, the impres sion must rest upon their minds that those opiuions have scareely~ heen suppoirted with ordinary plausi bility. Iidecl, so far as arguments have been attemp ted at all, they have been of that lame and far-fetched kind which are over indicative of a weak cause. Knowing that all ars tired of the matter, we should perhaps abstain from continuing the vin discussion. But it is right that the other side, to which we belong, should have at least a single showing. That this may be given in as brief a space as possible, we here. to append a statement of the whole question as pre sented by the lion. C. C. CLAY, of Alabama, in a let ter addressed to his constituents. Hoping that each and every reader will give the distinguished Senator's reasoning a close examination, we dismiss the topic at once and altogether. Read the argument: The Conference bill involved no concession of our rights or interests, and no abandonment of sound principles or good policy. If the Senate bill was acceptable to the South, the Conferenceo bill should be, in my opinion. The Lecompton Convention, not content to get Kan saa into the Union on equal terms with other new States, with suicidsil folly demanded better terms than had been granted any of them; claiming four see tions of land in every township for schools; all salt springs, gold, silver, copper, lead or other valuable mines; five per cent. of the nett proceeds of the pub. lie lands, sold by'ore or after admission : seventy-two sections for a seminary of learning; and every alter nate section for twelve miles on each side of two rail roads, one erossing the State from her Northern to her Southern, and the other from her Eastern to her Western bunndaries-in all more than 23,000,000 acres, when her just and equal share, compared with Alabama, wuald have been about 4,000,000 acres! No one in Congress was willing to grant this arrogant and unrighteous demuand. No State had been granted, or had asked, half as much on applying for admis sion, and some had been refused admisrion with much less asked for by them. Ohio asked admission with objectionable boundaries, and Congress refnsed it. lut passed an act, providing that if a majority of her people, at the ballot box, assented to certain modifi cations of boundaries therein proposed, sie should be admitted hfproclamastion of the Presidlent. Th'e same thing happened with Michigan, except that Congress referred her terms of nelmission to a convention of the people, to be called for that purpose. Arkansas demanded more land than Congress would griLnt, and new terms of admission were proposed und submitted by Congress to her Legislature-as the power o de ciding had been conferred ongho Legislaturo by the Convention that framled the Constitution. So Con gress refused to admit Wisconsin and Iowa on the terms they nasked, and proposed and submitted to them, respectively, other terms of admission. The demands of those States were moderate compared with those of Kansas. Should an exception have been made in her favor, by granting her about six tiues as much land as wits her share, or had been granted other new States ? In previous cases of re fusal to admit a State on the terms she asked, Con gress had proposed new terms, and submitted them to the decision of the people, or of their delegates in Convention, or of their representatives in the Logis lature, and made her assent to them a condition pre cedent to her admission into the Union. Why depart from past practice in the case of Kansas ? Kansas had no right or power to prescribe to Con gress, and Congress had no right or power to pro scribe to Kansas, the terms of her admission; but each had the right and the power to dissent from the terms proposeil by the other. Congress exerted this right and power by refusing to admit Kansas with the immense dowry Aie askdd, but offered her admis sion with ani equal portion with her elder sisters. This was done boil in the Senate and in) the Confer ence bills. Each bill acknowledged the authority of the Lecomipton 4'nvention-the validity of its action -the ratifiention 11Y the people of the pro-slavery clause submitted to their vote-the right of the lieu ple of a territory, when establishing a State Govern ment. to adopt a cnstitution without submitting it to a popular vote, and to form and regulate their doumes tie institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of thme United States-and each acepted thme Lecomnptoan Constitution ias repiublicani in foirm, agreed and proinised to admitKanmsas under it into the Union, and actually did admit her on an equal footing with other States, pirovided she chose to come in with equal and like grants of land for schools, roads, &c., &c. The only difference seized and com mented on by the Southern opponents of the-Confer ence bill, is this: it did, while the Senate bill did not, expressly and formally submit to a vote of the pseople of Kansas the question of admission upon the new terms of land grants proposed by Congress instead of those priopesed by Kansas. lint this was dif:'rence of formi, not of substance. hand the Senate bill become a law, Kansas would not thereby have been brought into the Unioan, because tier terms of entering it had been rejeted, and other and less favorable terms had been substituted without her consent by Congress. She would have had the right and the power to stay out of the Union, and would have been out till she expressed tier assent to the new terms of admission propiosedl in that bill, hysomue declaration of words or of acts, such as a vote of acceptance or the elec tion of U. S. Senators, nd piutting in motion the machinery of a State Government. To deny this is to deny the free agency of Kansas, and her right to choose the terms of tier admission into the Union, and to claim for Congress power to coere her into the Union against her consent. The doctrine of state rights denies Comngress power to make or untaiko a State, or force a State in or out of the Union. Under the Senate bill, Kansas coulad and would have assen ted or idissented to striking oil~iher ordinanace, and substituting new andl less favoraible termis of admnissioni, and coul~d antI would hiive elected to come ini or stny out of the Union. The Conference bill simply acknowledged that right, and provided a mode of exercising it, but dlid not ail could not con for the right. It wans a rIght of Kansas, which Con gress could not give to or take from her, and did niot give to tier by the Conference bill, or take frot her by the Sennte bill. This, it seems to me, no advocate omf state rights or strict constructionist can deny, and, if true, the difference between the two bills was in form, not ini substane. But seome Southronas opposedl the bill because, they said, it submitted the constitution to a vote of the peeple, and somne Northerners opposed it because, they sail, it did not submit the constitution to such a vote. There is nothing in the lanaige or spirit of that act to warrant the assertion that it submitted the Lecommpton constitution tom a vote of the people, but munch to contradict the assertion; fof it aeknowledged the conastitutioan taa be the act of the people of Kin sias, to be republienan in form, anal to be acceptable to Congress, bait declaired the terms of andmission dle. manuded by Kansas were unnemceptablu, paroposed other terms and submitted them to a vote of the pao le. It is true thiait the paeop~le might vote aagainist the terms proposed, inot beeanse they were unaccep table to them, but because the Lecompaton constitu tiun was unacceptable to them. Bait what hadl Coma gress to do with the motives of the people aof Kansas ? It could not legislate rensons for their acts inato or out of their heads. It should not have been deterredl from doing its dhuty and respeeting the rights of Kan sas by letting her chooswe whether she would come in to the Union unier the Lecompton constitution, with 5,000.0010 acres of landt granted to her, insteutd of the 23,000,000 demanded by her, from feaar of her refusal to enter the Union becanuse of opposition to that cain stitution, and not because of dissatisfnection with the quanatity of land granted to tier! She might have refused for the same secret reason to come Into the Union under the Senate bill. Hence, I repeat, there is ano objection to the Con. ferenee bilt that does not obtatin aigaitast the Seante bill There are objections to the Semnate bill thn~t do not obtain against the Conference hilt. The Senaite hill, by the Green-Pugh amndament, declared the right of the people of Kaansas "at. all timues to alter, reform or abolish their faria of goveranment in such manner as they may think proper, Congress hereby dislaiming amny authority to inaterfere, &e.,"--which truism seemed like an apology to Black Republicans In and out of Kansas, for adamitting her under the Lecomapton constitution, and a suggestion to them to come in, and immedIately thcrer fter to change their constitution-a policy which some of theti advocated. Again, the Senate bill made n provIsIon about Nana sas in case of her refusal to come into the Union un der the Lecumpton constitution. The Conference hilt is free from the Green-Pugh amendment, and declares, if Kansas refuses the terms therein proposed, she shall not be admitted into the Union till "it is as ertained by a census, tdy and legally taken, that the population of said territory equals or exceedis the ratio of representation required for a member of the Hous'e of Representatives of the Congress of the United States"--a declaration by law of a sound gen eral principle, which may tend to suppress those fre quent conventions that have destroyed all peace in Kansas and in Congress, and may keep her a territo ry for many years, wvhere, under the Nebraska-Kan sa act and the Dred Scott dleision, Southrons haive a right to carry and hold slaves. I think nothing was lost by the South in thes Con. fereneo Kansas act, either in the abstract or the con crete, in principle or practical rhaults. It amaitained the right of the peopale to form a slaveholdinag State in torritory north of 36 30, proposed to admit sucht a State on equal terms with other new States, aind offred her straaag inaducemnents to ciame inito the Uanion, by declaring, if she did not accepat the terms proposed, she should slimy out till she attained the populiation that would entitle her to one representative. What has the South laist by its adoption anal the rejection of the Senate bill? If Kansas bad entere the Union under either bill, she would have adldedl two votes to the Black Republican force in the United States Sea sto immediately, and short after. aniothier vote to the same sido in tihp louse of Itepresentatives, and would soon have expelled slavery anti slave-holders by lawI from their limits; for a mjorlty of the nmemborsa leet of both houses of the future State Legislature were of that party. Oar rights have, at least, Federal L ion-slavoholding States has been, and in Kansas if kdmittcd as a State, would soon have been, nmullified sy State legislation. In that evenit we. who voted or any act by which she entered the Ution, would liave been censured na much, and with cqual just'c-S rfr admitting an abolition community of but 49,000 peuple, when by law 93,420 were requisite to entite M Slate to one nciber of the House of Represensta. tivea. The simple and sad truth Is that the North, impelled by hate, hia-done more tu psrevent slavery in Kansas than tihe South, impelled by love, has done to establish slavery there. COMMUNICATIONS. For the Advertiser. Mli. Emon,-Dcar Sir: In your comments on Gov. ADAMS' letter to the-" BOsnIxA Dinner," in my opinion, you have certainly put an unwarranted construction. I cannot see that he places negro trailers upon a footing with'" the negro stealers who visit the African coast on missions of plunder and robbing." His whole argument is levelled, if I un derstand him rightly, against the law which suppres ses that trade, and taxes the South to support a Navy for search ; and, if that 1kw did not exist, it would be as just and right to purchase slaves in Africa, as Virginia or Maryland, If slavery be right his argu ments ar,-aud the.only thing for us to consider is, whether it is the interest and policy of the South to bring slaves from Africa, (if the law (if Congress debarred it was repealed.) If that law should ever be repealed, rest assured we of the South would consider our interests enough to decide whether to engage in that trade or not. I would like to know how the African-trader could force his slaves upon our soil, unless we, who are interested in its culture, purchased them? And before we be came purchasers we would well weigh our interests, and make calculations, of the probable results arising therefrom. We must certainly give up the right of holding property In man, and weaken our argument for its support, when we say it is piracy to purchase them in Africa, or elsewhere, only as the law makes it go. We of the South are too prone to become Nation, alized. and see all things -through party, for sake of party, and change State Rights into Party Rights. It is true, State Secession has besome obsolete ex. cept, with a few, and Co-operation has succeeded in its place. I am willing to be termed a Co-operationist fur resistance, but not according to the order of the day, Co-operation for Conpromisc and Submission. The doctrine of State Secession is now changed to whole South Co-operation-but another name for Submission. Mr. Borems is reported to have said that " the election of a Black Republican President in 1860, will be sufficient cause for Secession." Will the whole South Co-operato and say so? Oh, no. That would endanger the Democratic Party-the party that must check the encroachments of the Federal Government, and hold FnED DOUGLAS, or whoever the Black Re publicans elect, at bay, and save the Union. Sir, the South, as a body, will never secede. If Secession over takes place, it will be by one State stepping boldly forward, in defiagee of the General Government, drawing the sword, throwing away the scabbard, fully determined for liberty or death to be the consequence. Article1, Sec. 10, Constitution of the United States, "No State shall nter into any treaty, alliance or Confederation." low would the South co-operato unless in p lain violation of the alsove clause ? Think you that there will ever be a general outburst of in dignation at one time, against nay Act of the Pederal Goverunmcnt, sufficient for the whole Suath to see, eye to eye, and rise simultaneously to shake off their shackles, without a previous treaty of alliance or Confederation ? I believe, as Col. Pear.s once expressed himself, what the South wanted was an "issue," and that issue must he made by some State independently, upon her own reserved (State) Rights. Col. Picxxss made the remark in consequence of the Act of Con gress dismembering Texas, and his hope was that one would reject the Act, and not accept the bribe, and thus mnake an issue upon which the whole South could unite and contend for her rights. This was the fighting point, and the issue which Col. Pmucexxs so gloried in, if anade, because he believed the time had come, which in making that issue, the South would unite andshaye her rights in'the,Union, or her liberty out of it. Look back upon the past, and by it judge the fu ture. After our great men (mostly umembers of Con gress) had, by Sleech after speech, alarmed thme State, tellinig the people how their rights were usurped, how degradled it couldi be for them tamely to submit, and quietly wear the chainis of Slavery ; callinig upon thmem to arouse, assert their rights amid f~marlssly maintain them ceen unto death. After they hadl mado the peopmle believe they were in earnest, and had actually put theom in motion to perform or die, see wihm what precipitancy the greater number cooled down, and hogan to tell thme dear people, that remally, there wams nomt so much to sub~mit after all; and that perhaips there might he danger-yea, great danger most bloodly issues, slavery,-yes death-if we assert our rights andi move another step. Stop ! Please wait for Co-operation. I heard one of our greatest men, in his liblic speech, say (upon the Texas que.stion) that it was merely a difference of opinion-thme same as two lair ycrs would differ about some point of law. That up on this question, the South and thme North differed in opinion,-it was only a difference of opimnion. You see how our great mencm can bring down one of the most important issucs, to a mere difference of opinion. The more iwe beconme Nationalized, or afliliato with National De~mocracy, the worse it will be for the South. I am no prophet, neither lay'clmaim to the power of Spirit Rupping, but if ever this Union is dissmlved it will be by onle State stepping boldly forwrid and making an issue upon which the rights of the South is involved. And nmy lil'e upon it, the South will make her cause their cause, as certain as water, by thme laws of grnmritationm, will run downhill. But if we wait for cooerationi, it will always end in comproumise and siomijslon. Yours Rtespectfully, H. For the Advertiser. A CARD. Ma. EDInRon-I was very mchl mnortimed to o' - serve in your last issue, a card over the signature of M. WV. GrarY, wherein lhe saw fit to revive cer ain sad reminiscences of the past that grated harsh ly-ye-a sorely-on my feelings, the necessity of whiichi I cannot perceive. And, In vindication of the character of one 1' ho was near and dear to me-a beloved brother, who for many years was my only guardian and protector,-! now respectfully claim a hoct space In your columns. I do riot now, and never d'd blame Mr. GAaRY, for de'eniding his client, but I do think that lie might have defended his. ease equally as well without revi ving the character of my brother in the manner he has. Mr. GAR appears damirous to convey the Im pression that the "urmfortunate deceased " occupied the low position in li e of a Card-case keeper for a Faro Banik." But many of the people' of Edgefield listrict know that this mu not correct, His many friends I am proud to hemvi, always recognized hi m as a genteman. Though a poor man, and one who hd to struggle hard to maintain hIs family, yet I de fy any man, to say that he ever departed from the strictest honesty and integrily. And, even, if, on th'at uifortunate occasion, in the kindness of ihis heart, he did keep the " card case," it was at the solicitation of those presenit, who he though~t were his friends. Like, poor fallen oman, lie too had hisi fau'lts-one of them was, that lie occasionally visited the card table. (And it may he that the critical Mr. GAr does like wise-more so perhaps than ever did thme deceased.) But I do m.om think iliat it was tight in Mr. GAaR to revive the faults of the silent sleeper, and forget his. ther qualities of time head and heart. This Mr. GAR mas done, and done injuriously. Bunt J leave the mat er-it is to me an unpleasant subject. Thme public, I trust, will do the memory of my brother justice, and rot let this stain which Mr. GAuR has published gainst his mecmory, rest heavily over hIs enhiappy ramily amid relatives. Ini this connection, I desire to say that Mr. GARav d rot give through your paper the version of his peech as I understood it. I think his langusge was o this purpose: " That monuments were not intended fir mechanics td humble citizens, lint that they were intended for hree distinct classes, viz: Statesmen, Chieftain, and atrots." Monuments, tIle gentleman well knows, have been Who was Franklin, Hudson, and a host of others They were mechanics, and monumengl have been erected to their ineiory. Has the geatlemain forgot -A hat the Solici:or said to him on this oinit I Does' he not remember the remark ? If lie duoes riot, I will give it to him. Mr. OwrNb taid, in tubstance, " lie hoped that what the " Junior Counsel" (alluding to Mr. GARv,) had a i about the mechansies won d have no bearing with the Jury; for if the istandard which the "Junior Coumel '- judged them by was estab hlshed, God only knows what would become of them."

The details of the China treaty with the Uni ted States had been received in London. The treaty is to be fully ratified within a year. One of the stipulations in the treaty is, that the United States shall interpose its good officers in ease China should become involved in dillicul ties with other powers. There was a mutiny on board of the A merican ship Conqueror, in the river Mersep The vessel was bound for Mobile Ala. Seventeen armed negroes refused to proceed. with their work. They were arrested by the American Consul without blood shed. The allies in China have had a serious battle at Canton. A part of the city was burnt.

Jenning Wise, one of the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, and the lon. Sherred Clemens, of Wheeling, Va. The latter was wounded, but not dangerously, at the fourth fire. Mr. McLain, Secretary of the American Co lonization Society, last week purchased in New York, provisions tothe amount of nine thousand dollars; clothing, two thousand three hundred dollars; agricultural implements, one thousand dollars; all of which were shipped on board the Niagara to Charleston, for the use of the cap tured Africans. CoTTox.-We clip the followibg extract from the Courier and Enquirer, a paper as well pos ted in statistics as any in this country : " One of the gratifying features of the comn mercial worlId is the renewed and steady demand for cotton-a demand that i-eases in a much greater ratio than the increase of popylation. The European demand and prices are such as to furnish an 'ample guarantee of remuneration to our Southern iiplanters for few years to come. With all the available sources of supply from Egypt, Asia, Austr-alia, and South America, the cotton of the United States is not enough to meet the growing demand in Europe." TE CoxET.-Star gazers may have their cu riosity to see the Comet gratified, by taking a survey of the Northwvestern sky, any clear even .ing about 7 o'clock, and again at 4 o'clock in the morning, in the Northeast. The morning view is now much the best, because of the ab sence of the moonlight at that hour. New Yone, Sept. 17-Mr. Win. H. Monag han, from Charleston, South Carolina, fell fronm a windowv in thte United States Hotel last night and was killed. Tue Sumov-iNG OF A YoUNr JiIY AT Pvs BU~o.-Miss E. Henry, the youing lady who was shot at Pittsburg, last Saturday, by Thomas Smithson, jr., was still alive on Sunday night, but with little hope of surviivihng. The True Press says: Smithson, who is absout nineteen years of age, had beetn acquainited with Miss Henry from childhood, she being abount two years younger than himself. They had always been upon speaking termns, and of late young Smaithisen be came passionately attached to her. b~eing ready to accompany her at all times, and willing to make any sacrifice to win her atffetions. As his char-acter was not such as to seure him the es teem of the virtuous and respectable, his atton tions were not recognize-d by Miss Henary, and hWs advances were annoinig to her. He w-as only tolerated on account of their famniiliarity through childhood, and lie had been treated with that careless disregard which would have driven off any young rmn possessed of ordinary sensibili ty anid independence of minid. But lie acted like a mtonomnaniae towards her, accosting her upon the streets, solieiting walks, requesting in terviews, etc. Ont Saturday last, lie walked into the dwelling of Mrs. Henry, and on Miss Henry telling hinm she wns too busy to talk with him, he drew a pistol and shtot her, the ball entering her body below the left shoulder blade, shatter ing one of the ribs, passing through the lung, and escaping below the left breast. Smithison immediately made his escape, bitt was subse quently at-rested, and camne near being lynched by the excited populace. NERvoUs HEADACIH.-A corrrespondent of the C2ostitutionalist furnishes the following remedy as a specific for the relief of the Nerv-ous headache. Atr. Editor: I have beon a sufferer with the headache for more thtan thirty years; sought a cure in many of the "ceertain enres," and found nonte; and i'inding relief in a dose of morphine ten years ago, andY being afraid of an injurious effect upon the stomach that a continued taking of opium in any form woutld produce, I conclu ded to try snuffing1 morphineC, and alwvays finding relief in a few minutes after sulinig a smnail portion of morphine, atbout as large as a grain of wheat; and having known it tried byothers, and never without speedy relief, unless the head was so stopped up that the morphine could not be di-awn up, I have concluded that the discove ry is worth giving to the public, and for that purpose I offer it to your valuable paper.
