CEHLU TON COEESPONDENCE. CuAntuvTow, September 24. 1058. The appearance off our Bar, of the Frigate Niags ra on Saturday lapt, br.,ko I.. a little upon the innanto ny and opened up a new tiaie ,,f g.,ssip and specu. lation. For a tow day*. people talked of something e've besides the fever ama loTer of novelty were e. ger for getting up Steasu'boat Excursi.rs to visit " th. big ship." But a goaueral disappaointment was t6 result. No one eacelft the United States authorities, was permitted to go do.wn to her. All the preimiaa. ry arrangements had been made before the arrival of the Frigate. A Steamer had been engaged and was immediately despatched with theAfricans, who were all safely transferred, to their new secomm,,dations, and took their fnal departure for their native Country on Teesday afternoon. The Yellow Fevor has now, we fondly hope, reaehyd Its maximum, and commenced gradually to decline. With the Bill of Mortality reported on Manday last included, the aggregate number of deaths this seasot amounted t~37S.- There i undoubtedly great disa tress and suffering in our city, but the indefatigable efforts of that excellent urganization-the Howard Association, have done much to alleviate it. Day a:i nigh't, in all weathere, the noble philanthropists who do the alsiting work of this Association may be seer. wending their steps throuit narrow lanes and gloom) abodes of sickness and poverty. dispersing to the unfortunate Inmates, comforts and necessarics, provi ding nurses for the helpless, and miniatering to al! their temporal and apiritual wants. Its appeals for aid on this glorious work are daily met with liberal responses, from private and associated charity, public meetings, thurch offeriugs, and every source front which money may como. With theae resources its exertions are steadily kept up, and the vast amount of good to be accomplished by monas of this institu tion will be a bright page in the aad and gloomy his tory of the Summer of 1S58 in Charleston. But we trust now, that our deadly visitur has done its desolating work and that a brighter day is about to dawn upon uu. The Fever he* always attaincd its highest degree of fatality during the last week of September, or at farthest, the Irst week of October, after which it diminishes rapidly until the now anx iously wished for frost (usually an -inwelcome visitor, if premature) interposes to prevent its farther en croachmenti. However great a caLamnity an early frost may be to the planting interests, in ordinary seasone, we look forward to it at this crizai, as our only refuge. In these times of sickncss and mortali ty, even those who'ars osetapt from the prevailing epidemic participate largely Ig the general distress; for their anxious cares and sorrowo for ick or loft friends, separations of families, and breaking up of household arrangements, are enough to depress the spirits and energies of our whole population. The exagerated reports prevailing in the country about the fever no longer give us 'any concern. We cannot honestly or conscientiously invite any of our friends to visit us before the total disappearance of the fever, and it is too late to repair the injury result Ing to our Fall Trade by this visitation. So that while we still read with amazement the statements in some of the papers, we have no disposition to protest against the injustice of them, or to say any thing which would indicate a disposition to disguise or on der-rate the real condition of things. The Trustees of the Columbia Male Academy have elected-Mr. Benjamin IL Stuart, of this city, Prin cipal, in place of Mr. Richard Ford, resigned. Mr. S. is a son of the late John A. Stuart, of the Charles tsn Jfercuary. Such evidences as these of apprecia tion of native talent, are now, I am rejoiced to see, more frequent than formerly. Of all professions, that of an Instructor -of Southern youth most im peratively calls for Representatives " to the tnanor born," and claiming home institutions as their Alma Mater. The selection in this instance, is alike credi table to the judgment of the Trustees, and to the, merits of the gifted young graduate of our State College who is the recipient of the honor. * I .bserve also that the Spartanburg Female Col .lege has added to the list of teachers in the Prepara tory Department, a lady of this city, Miss lHannah M. Anderson, who has been for some years suecess fully engaged in the instruction of youth. -Thursday last was observed as a day of Hamtilia tion and Prayer by appiontment of the Mayor, and Council.

His "hIistorical collections of South Carolina" have a place in all well assorted libraries. The weather continues changeable. To day it is bright, cool and bracing. The nights are perfectly brilliant. Warm clothing is very comfortable boath by day and night. Uthe Comet is distinctly visible -now iu the early part of the evening. Weatherwise philosophers, and old sea-captains say that we have had the September blow already and that they have no apprehensiuns of any more stormy weather for the - season. Business circles nre quiet. There is nothing imn portant transpiring. King Street looks deserted. The general aspect of the marketsremaios protty miuc.h as wheu I last wrote you.

Bo'~n&x iN LEKIGoTN.-The Lexing on Flag informgus that, on Monday last, as per announcemejit, Gen. Bonham addressed his .constituents in Lexington at the Court House. " He spoke about an hour, (his time being limni ted) giving a brief outline of his course in Cona gress, and why he, and another member (allu ding to Gem. Quitmnan),took the position they did in regard to the kansas ques~ion. There was a large collection of people present on Mon day, and before the time arrnved tor the opening of the address, the Court House was filled. WVe only heard his closing remarks, in which he evinced himself a true Southern patriot. The audience was very rattentive, amnd we believe gen erally pleased with the address. DEATH oF JAMIs ADottn, EsQ.--The Charles ton Ecening liee, of Friday afternoon, 21th " A private dispatch received this forenoon from New York~, comraanicates the melanceholy intelligence of the death in that city, early this -morning, of James Adger, Esq., aller a short illness, of pneumonia. Mr. Adger was qbout eighty-three years of age, and emigrated from Ireland to Charleston when a young man, hav ing been a resident thereof for sixty~five years, in the capacity of a merchant. It is unnecessa ry almost to stato that in business relations his :erantile eminence was co-extenhiva with his probity, having largely contributed to elevate thn standard of commercial integrity in this city. In all the various duties of' einl and so cial life, the deceased was also an examiple of public spirit and of a kindly disposition, of which charity and philanthropic feeling formed leading elemenlts." CorroN PICING.-Mr. J. H. Chalmers of our district, who superintends his father's plantation, informed us that during last week, eight hands picked out in two days, 4400 lbs of cotton. Pretty good.

Peoplo of Edgefield! our unfortunate follw-citi son of Charleston are suff'rinig the terrors of an awful scourge. The Yellow Favor is raging in their midst as it never did before, and mournful di.trossos are daily thickening around them.

The President of the District Agricultural Society desires us to call attention to the approaching Fair .f the Society. It will occur on Friday of the second week of Court, which will be the I th day of next month. A large attendance and a fine exhibi tion are looked for, as the interot in such mtaters is an the increase throughout the District. A cordial iuvtation is extended to all, to como and join in the rivalry and social pleasures of the occasion. Shall we not have a more brilliant Fair than we have yet had? It is the general hope and expectation. EAUTIPtL ILOWERS. We acknowledge the favor of a lovely Laaket of dowers from little Miss ELLeN B. of this vicinity.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. - It is proper that the attention of the Mana;;ers of Elections be particularly called to the fact, that the coming election is the regular occasion for voting for member of Congress. The ciroumstance of there being no oppositla to the Incumbent, General Boxv xAm, is no reason that the peoplc should not general ly cast their ballots in the CongroasIonal box, We hope the managers will see to this matter.

WIOFALI,, on our first page, las the ring of the true metal, In its terseness, force, and spirit, we recognise the man,-its author. 1. It will be seen, that while Col. W. regardls the passage of the Kansas Conference Bill as a wrung dlone to the Constitution (cide m:: Par. of his letter fur the nature of that supposed wrong) he yet is of opin. ion (enlec vi Par.) that "nothing practically was lost"M in the contest. 2. Ons the contray, it appears to be his eonviction that much of practical inepertyeo tQ the South is yet -ttainablpe through Kansas as a 'Territory, Which would not basyo been, through Kansas as a State. In plain terms, he tiiis that slavery may yet pre vail in Kansas, if the English lill is carried out as to its penal proviso, and if the goverampent generally will do Its duty. There are very few who will agree in entertaining such a haopo; And yet, why should it not be a rational one, if thme Souztk would even now resolve to go up and occupy the land ? 3. Col. WIOFALLr is impelled by a genuine convic tion of Southern strength, when he urges that the united South should demand the fulfilment of the bond in the matter of the future admission of Kansas. There cannot be a doubt of our controlling the gov-. enent in this as in every other issue if we will but ho trute to ourselves. In speaking of an issue, a pal. p able one is tmeant ; or at least one upon which the people could he expected to take ground heartily, andl not a vein splitting of hairs, such as has been eliminated from this Conferene measure of the late Session. If half of the entire Southern membership in Congress, instead of two, had come back before the Soa!,h upon this issue, what would have been the re mult? Possibly, t);e most unfortunate divisions in the ranks of the Southern State,=cortainly, no such ac tion as would have given new strength to our spetip, Hence, the principal objection to the course of the two gentlemen who voted (conscientiously no doubt) separate from all the rest of their Southern colleagues. The tendency of that vote was to Southern distrac tiop. We ar well aware that the gentlemen 'who voted thus did Rot 90 view it; yet it is noyvertheless true that such has been its oftly affect. Of course, under the circumstances, that dictraction is very lihy, ited; but suppose that any very considerable portion of Southerq Congressiodktl strength,-say twenty members cen,-had voted thus ; might not the divis ion hare become an extensive and a lamentable one? And all for what ? For the meagre and inapps'ocia hb.edifference between the Conference Kansas Bill aed the Senate Kansas Bil,-tbs differene between twee:. die-dum and tweedle-dee,-the sum-total of which differene by the way, as Senator CLAY clearly shows in the letter we published last week, is in favor of the Conference Bill. 4. The effect of the Conference Bill being, that Kansas has not come into the Union, the North is for the time being two votes weaker in the Senate than she would have been had Kansas entered on the trms proposed ; and, further, there are chances, as Col. WV. observes, that something may yet be made out of her. Thus far our friend is in the beaten track of the debate. but ho goes further, and giv-es another ad a somewhat startling reason why the South might ave actually objected to the admsion. (See the lose of 1lt P'ar.) ThIs is a new view, and which ha, nt perhaps been suggested before. We close our brief comsents with the remark, that| the tone and manner of Cot. WIGFALL's advice to hi1 I etion is well calculated to arouse the apathetie and add vigor to the zeal of the forsmost in the carsoof outhern Rights. May Texas soon call him'to a po- j1 sition whore his genius and valor ean qeetually serve I MR. ROBERT'S LETTER,--5ENATOR HA MMOND. In publishing letters of a political charar-ter, every ditor has the undoubted privilege of making such oraments thereup-n as ho thinks proper, within the jounls of courtesy and respect. In the present in tance it Is not only adarisenblo, but demanded of us s a South Carolina jjirualist, to express the strongest lissentt from certain opinions put forth in a letter of r. . . .Ro-anv to the Committee of the lato Box unAl dintier, and which nmay be found on another page. Allusion is had to the imputation of dereliction in rinciple and duty so freely hurled at several South irn membors of Congreia, and especially against our listinguishel Senator. the lI6n. JAMS It. liA xxOND. Mr. Romany's opinions upon the courso of our Son %tor are, It is true, only the opinions of a single pri. rate citimen. But set forth as they are, in connection with a political dinner given to a South Carolina taember of Congress, they become a part of the re ;ord of that occasion and would seem to uerivo a de gree of publr importance from that association. We are not aware that any of the gentlemen engaged in that dinner endorse these opinions of Mr. RoBERT; we know that some of them do not. Yet the political world around may regard it as a pertinent feature of the late demonstration; and we are not disposed to let such an impression go forth undisputed. Mr. RoanZT then dues not, we think, speak the sen. timents of General BosnAV, or his friendls,-eertainly not of the people of South Carolina,-wheu he says that our State must look elsewhere than to such'a man as Senator IIAxxos. for one "to keep alive and ae. tive the principles of that great statesman,"-meaning JoHx C. CALuOrs. le is further still from such con. currenee, when he charges our Senator with "lower. ing the Southern standard;" And farthest of all, when he imputes to that bold thinker, and independeni Southern planter, aspirations fur the Presidency of the Union, as his motive in the course of well-consid. ered conservatism which Le has indicated to his con. stituency. The principles of Jonx C. CALHUO are now-a. days the subject of much vague declamation. Promi neut among those principles, stood the equal Right: of the Status under a strict construction of the Fed eral Compact. But next to these in his great heart, stood also an abiding devotion to a Constitutioni Union. Who will dony this ? While battling for the rights of the States against the in-roads of ecntrall zation,-whilo exposing the infringements of thc Constitution with all the vehetnence of his muight3 genius,-when was it that he over spoke of a disrup tion of this Confoderacy but as a coming evil? Whet was it, that he ever laid aside the weapons of hi strength and "despaired of the Republic?" Was no his last wish, for a single hour upon the floor of tlhe Senate, that he might still avert the dangers whiel threatened the American Union ? Holding the righti of the States as parmunount to the perpetuity of that Union, he yot labored to the last, and prayed that hi might labor more, to save both the Union and the in dependence of the Soverelgntles which compose it Such was the patriotism, such were the "active principles of Juns C. CALIIoux. And such are th< principles .of his successor, JAxes H. HlAxotuatu. The dawn of a better day has cheered the South, sinet our departed statesman stood forth the champion o: her righta an inlureits, Tho spell of his greatnes has had much to do with the breaking o' that 4awn If he bore the ills of oppression then, rather that counsel the last dire resort of revolutiot, would hi not bear them now, when justice is climbing to th< ascendant ? Jf ho toiled on through the night with, out fainting, would he have sunk beneath the glow of appronuhing sun-lIght? Wkere then, we asek would the "princIples of Joux~ C. CAr~notx" pulacl the statesman of to-diy, if not In tho very course o manly exertion, isalhin the Union, which Sen.HiAxxi wisely and boldly proposes to pursue ? There is some thing inspiring in seeing our statestgen of the Soutl preparing to occupy a political eminence froin whiel they intend tocontrol the Governmentand vindicate thi Constitution. It is Woghy the successors of CAr1TOoux It is a patriotism around which hope, sn4 geigs, ant faith, shed their congenial beams~, And the peopmle o the South will exult that It Is thus, however mumch Mr .Roasav and others may groan in the apirit and say -"the ambition of our public maea premise. the ruin of te South and see are suffering for more .Iioahams. [Mr. Roanva has doubtless discovered before this that his use of our Congressman's name in this inni dious sentiment is wrong. If he has read tha gentleman's speech, a;; poted the fact that, for al practical purposes, he is acting shouler to shoulde: with those very " public men" whose "ambitiol promises the ruin of the South," he will perhaps dis cover, that South Carolina will have to look, ye again, "elsowhere"~ for some one to keep !' alige ant active" the principles of Joas~ C. CAIfog. lint w digress.] Mr. Rorgar also asserts that Senator HAaxxn ha "lowered the Soutfiern standard." How, and in wha respeot ? Deponent answereth not, except by poInt ing his monitory finger to the speech addressed h: the Senator to his friends and neighbors at the Boeel Island dinner. We have turned to that speech as re ported, and can find nothing to warrant Mr. Ronasur assertion. The Senator, it is true, does take th< ground that there is now no issue before the country and that the South can at present do nothing eep to watch and prepare for her future struggles. H1 goes further, and declares his belief that the Soutl can triumph over her enemies, in the Union. Is thin a "lowering of the Southern standard ?" But ever with this conndynpa Ip his breast, ho neglects not'ti caution his constituencey in thp nipet expressive termi to hold themoselves ever preparped for tje last resort o disunion. Is this a 'flowering of the Sojthern scttpi; ard ?'' I!e wartns t.hcp, " be recady with baynnet: fied but do not cbarge too apick." Js this a !! low: ering of the Southern standard ?" He said that 1' bj would not have South Carolina tied to the organina tion of thIs party or any other party that did not ael with the party of truth and right." Is this a "low, ering of the Southern standard ?" Dot it is needles: to prosecute this enquiry. There Is the speech og Senator HIAxIosN. Turn back and read it for your, slf. It is replete with wuisdom and patriotism, andc ears upon its every sentence a refutation of thi grave charge here made against its distinguished author. Dot Mr. RlonERT, not satisfied with attacking th( Senator's acts and words, cannot refrain from going further and impugning his motives.-attributing him course to a corrupt desire for Federal oficee. It is on necessary to repel this imputation here, where out Snator's lofty independence of character, and proud contentment with the lout of a Southern gentleman, are so well known. Mr. IhtoDERt Is as much mistakem in his estimate of Governor H~~mApxn's sontitments as le is in his apptreciation of that statesman's political orthodoxy. We have said enough, but not more than seemned tc us called for by this attack upon an honored Senator of our State. In repelling it, we do not qutestion the worth of Mr. Rouear as a true Southrun; neither do wp imsplicatp the gentlemen of the DoanAxm dinner in any degres of hostility to Clo'vernor h1IU0Noso A pplauding his Senatorial pourse as to do, it is not to be expected that we should quietly publish any thing to decidedly condemnatory of that course as is this lttef of Mr. ROnSR?.

EDITOu :-As I hare within the last few months been interrogated by many citizens from remote parts of the District in relation to the Graniteville School; and, as many of them have insisted on my giving a public statement iu order to contradict false rumors in regard to It, which are doing great injustice to those who have and are still contributing liberally to its epport, I beg the favor of a place in your paper fur the following statementr It has been reported that a large number of North erners were employed by the Graniteville Company whose children are being cducated at the public ex pense. e %h is not the fuct. There is but one North erner in the employment of the-Company, and he is a single man. The total number of children that at tended the School last year was one hundred and rov enty-six-oll natives of the South ; one hundred and sixty of South Carolina ; and one hundred and thirty one of that number natice of Edgefild District. The Granitoville School is a Free School, not only for the chbdron of the place, bat also for the vicinity. The poor children are classed and paid for by the Coinissioners of Free Schools as other poor children of the District are. The Teachers which are three in number, are employed by the Gfanitevillo Company, at a stated salary, which is made up from the amount paid by the Commissioners, a-portion of the donation from Mr. Boyce, and the balance is paid by the Gran Itevillo Company. Previous to receiving the Boyce donation, the Graniteville Company made up the on tire balance, which for several years amounted to from four to five hundred dollars per anpnm. There is a number of rumors over the District in re gard to the donation left to Graniteville by the hon orable, generous and noble.hearted Boyce. The Gran itoville Company are made the Trustees of that dona tion, and there is no doubt but it has been, and will continue to be, appropriated as iis Will directs. It is not roasonable to suppose thathe left it entirely for the benefit of those for whom the Statehad made pro vision.
