CONTIKUED FROM FIRST PAGE. constitutioq by thoqe who framed it, T never supposed it applicable to any principle of our government, and having been surrendered to the almost exclusive use. in this country, of the federal consolidationists, I have ever myself re pudiated it. But if a southern " national dem octat" means one who is ready to welcome Into our ranks with open arms, and cordially em brace and promote according to hi. merits, eve ry honest free State man who reads the consti tution as we do, and will co-operate with us in its maintenance, then I belong A that party, call itas you may, and I should grieve to find a southern mar who did not. But, on the other hand, having been all my life, and being still, an ardent " State Rights" man-believing "State Rights" to be an essen tial, nay, the essential, element of the constitu tion, and that no one who thinks otherwise can stand on the same constitutional platform that I do, it seems to me that I am, and all those with whom I art habitudly are, if democrats at all, true " State Rights Democrats." Noth ing in public affairs so perplexes and annoys me as these absurd party vaie-a, and I never could be interested in thmui. I could easily compre hend two great parties, standing on the two great antaonm4ic pnnciple4 which are inherent In all things human: tue i i.,ht and tLe wrong, the good and the evil, according to the peculiar views of each individusd ; and was never at a loss to find my side, as now, in what are known as the democratic and republican parties of thi; country. But the minor distinctions have, for the most part, seemed to me to be factitious and factious, gotten up by cunning men for selfi.sh purposes, to which the true patriot and honest man should be slow to lend himself. For my self, and for you, while I represent you, I shall go for the constitution striotly construed aid faithfully carried out. I will mnako my fight, such as it may be, by the side of any man, whether from the north, south, east, or we,t who will do the same; and I will do homage to his virtue, his ability, his courage, and, so far as I can, make just compenaation for his toils and hazards and sacnfice<. As to the precise mode an-l manner of conducting this contest, that ,must necessarily to a great extont dep.nd upon the exigencies that arise; but of course I could be compelled by no exigency, by no pirty ties or arrangements, to give up my principles, or the least of those principles which cu,.stitute our great cause. If the South has any desire to remain In the Union, and control it, she, as her safety requires that she should, in some essential particulair*, if she does remain in it, must oonoilliate her north. ern allies. She must be just, k1d and true, to all who are true to truth and to her, But if she determines, an.l whenever she determines, to throw off her northern friends and dissolve this Union, I need scarcely say that I shall, without hesitation, go with her fully and faithfully. I do not for a moment doubt that, in or out of this Union, she can sustain herself among the foremost nations of the earth. All that she re quires is the union of her own people, and hap pilv they never -were at any former period so united and harmonious op now. A homogene -ous people, with our social and industrial insti tutions the same everywhere, and all our great interests identical, we should always have been united in our moral and political opinions and policy. The ambitious dissensions of the host of brilliant men whose names adorn our annals, have heretofore kept us apart. The abolition ists have, at length, forced upon us a knowledge of ous.true position, and compelled us into union -an union not for aggression, but for defence; purely conservative of the constitution and the constitutional rights of every section and of every man. The union of these States, from the Canadas to the Rio Grande, and from shore to shore of the two great oceans of the globe, whatever splendor may encircle it, is but a poli eand niot a principle. -It is subordinate to rights and interests. Lut'the union of the slave holders of the Sonth is a principle involving all our rights and all our interests. Let that union be perfect and perpetual. It constitutes our strength, our safety and prosperity. Let us frown down every proposition that might seri ouuly divide us, and ,present to our assadants froui-every quarter a solid and impregnable Sphalanx.,. Letsus also" 've tr the . winda every ethought of-fear, ever ''e ~n ofidespondency, and fully comprehending, and temperately but' resolutely asserting, our great power in this con federacy and throughout the world, let us devel ope and consolidate our r'esources, and devote ourselves manfully and hopefully to the socom pliahment of the magnificent future thatis within our reach. Accmarr -rO Ex-GofENxoR MEAKs.-The Winnsboro' Register, in giving an account of the Agricultural Fair that came off in that place on the 28th and 29th ultimo, mentions an accident which befell Ex-Gov. Means. It only gives the meagre statemeiit in the following y wngas~ the " big day." It passed off, thanks to the excellent committee, finely. All except the mishap to Ex-Gov. Means, who acci dentally fell through an opening in the floor, and received some painful, -but, Dr. Robertson in forms us, not dangerous in]juries." -. The editor of the Southa C.arolini':n waa in formed that the fall occasioned the fracture of two of his ribs. He hopes, however, from the sgatement of the Register, that his information may be incorrect. PORK: PaosPECTs.-The season for pork pack ing is fast approaching, and, as usual, much is said as to what it will be worth. In this county we know of several engagements at four cents most of the buyers, however, aro holding back, not willing to close at these figures, thinking that, as there is an abundance of corn and hogs in tihe cotutry, and money matters being very tight, that the market may yet settle down at - Si~ cents. But we think they will be mistaken in this, and the ruling rates will be four cents for good corn-ied hogs.--Ather~s (Ala.) News. PRCaoTIxxxvo RnOM TUB PnimsDNT,-The Washington Ufnior of the 31st October, contains - a Proclamation from President Buchanan in re lation to violations of our neutrality laws. The President says he has reason to believe that the - -public lands of Nicaragua have been pledged as security for bonds issued for the purpose of raising funds to equip troops for another inva sion of firat counury. He regards Gen. Win. Walker's expedition as one involving hostilities against Nicaragua. He refers to the proclama tion of Yrisarri, who states that the pretext of being peaceful emigrants cannot conceal the r.:-al, ientions of Geon. Walker and his p arty. The President also refers to Gen. Walker's publicly expressed intentions of renewing hos tilities, and of his notification to the Collector of Customs at Mobile that between two and three hundred emigrants will shortly embark from that point. He closes his proclamation by enjoining upon all officials to be active and vigilant in suppres - sing all enterprises involving violations of our neutrality laws. THE IMPIETY or CalroIANE-The resolutions of the Miami Conference of the Church of Uni ted. Brethren, declaring, the wearing of crinoline incompatible with a true Christian's profession, seem to be rigidly enforced by the authorities of that denomination. At a camp-meeting of the United Brethren Church, recently held near West Baltimore, Montgomery county, Ohio, Bishop Russell forbade any one with hoops on to partake of the Sacrament, aflirming' that they would notabe welcome at the table of'the Lord. FATAr, AccwDENT.-We learn with regret of a fatal accident which occurred to Mr. I. Newton -;sadler, near Giuthriesville, on Wednesday of the last week. It appears that Mr. Sadler, owning a vicioue 'horse, approaelhed him in an unwary manner, whex he re-ceived a kick in the breast which broke two of his ribs, besides inflicting internal injuries, from the effects of which he died on Sunday morning last.-Yorkville En quirer. gy An old 1ady, sleeping during divine service in LIverpool, let fall lier Bible, with elusp to it; and the nlagpartly waking hear, she exelaimed-" What!" lotsy, have you bok, another jug, you slut, you! ~ The evil consequence of our erimes long aur . vive the *sm--:=a1-, and, like the ghosta of the mar a, ruv.w.hamma the stans of the malktet.

Millineries. Miss MATHEWS has a very fashionable milinery es tablishment on Broad street, nearly opposite the U. S. Hotel. The ladies flock to her beautiful rooms at all hours of the day, and always find the articles they want. Likewise, Mrs. Twacrr claimne and receives a large proportion of favor from the tasteful fair ones. BROO & NORRELL. See the advertisement of this firm. It is needless t. commend their house. Bnoom A NORELL arenow fully established in public favor; and we are glad to know that we have helped them on considerably in that direction. They more than justify all we have ever said of them. SUDDEN DEATH. We learn that Mr. PATRCK BUas, a resident of Hamburg, died very suddenly in that Town on the night of the 4th Instant. It is supposed that him death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel, or internal hemorrhage. Mr. Buams was a native of Ireland, and had been living in Hamburg some fifteen years. He was a peaceful and law-abiding man. He was about forty-five years old. RUSSELL, FOR'NOVEMIER. The November number of Russell is a good one. We again recommend the Magazine to general encour agement. Its style and management are equal to any of the periodicals. Its tone is high. Its standard Ii pure. Its character Is Southern. And its subscrip. tian lict ought to b ten thousand, " THE CAMPAIGN IN ILLiNOIS." 4 pamphlet has reached us, purporting to give the last joint dulste of DOLOL.ss and LzycoLx. We have not read it, nor even glanced at the contents. The defections of )opq44a, pat only to party but to principle, should call down 4pon him the opprobrium of all good Donocrato and trus-boarted Southerners. I& appsars to as to be matter of smaall panocrn to the S.,uth, whether he succeed or fail in his present can. v. He is a dangerous man, and it would not be a thing to be regretted, if he were crushed out of the ranks of American statesmen. THE SOLOMONS OF HAMBURG. An elegant grocery is that of the two SoLoxoss, in our boasted market-town of Umburg. They keep constantly on hand.the choicest articles In their line of business; And their line of business embraces a great variety of good, useful, nice and substantial things. Do you wish to buy the most select family groceries? Ge to Sozoxox's REn Houss. Have you a taste for good Madeira, or pure Port ? SOLO. vox's is the word. Do you wish & healthy article of Ale? The best of tihe season is to be found at SoLo ox'vs,-the genuine Disuua's ALM, which is said by judges to bo the Gnest article 'now manufactured in all of Buglan,-and t|ngland is the land of Ale. S It is, of the goods of the Soxoxa in every ramifina tion of their business. They have a well selected Atock of every thing that they profess to keep; And what is especially worth knowing, they are conteni with moderate profits upon their .various delightful family necessaries and luxuries. Every one can be suited at the Ran Hous.. Being told of this, it ii your own fault, reader, if you fail to advantage your self by the information. All sorts of good things al the Sotoscows. If you doubt, we dare you to gc and try'them. COLD WEATRER, AND COTTON. ~The breath of winter has been felt in our latitude, but not yet with blighting In une i'e~ehave been visible but not killing. The chainge I. a de. lightful one,-healthful and bracing. Cotton how ever is not yet touched on the uplands; It would not matter if it had been, as almost the entire crop hai matured. It is a mistake though, we think, to calca, late upon the present crop being an undsually large one. The rush to market would lead to this supposi. tion. But this has been owing to the fact of the early maturity of the crop, muperadded to the circumstancec of fine prices, The plnters have, on these accounts, been able to gather and willing to sell rapidly. Ai least such has heen the case in Edgo014. We have lately seen numerous cotton-fields in both . the pine and oak lands ; and nearly the whole crop is open and out,-most of it sold doubtless, Judging by onr imediate section, w~e should say that-there are good grounds for thinking that the crop of cotton standa at present over-estimated. One thing it is delightful to hear,-would that we could nll ace it! It is, that money is becoming abundant throughout the country and that the rates of money are rapidly falling. 'THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPSII. The intelligence from the Cable continues cheer. less. Its projectors are thought to be rather despen. dent of success. Mr. SnAPFNun, who wrote so con. fidently to DE~ow's Rer-ewc on the subject of its im-* practicability, may not he fsr wrong after all. Yet human ingenuity is hard at work to overcome the in. tervening difficulties ; and there is no telling how far uortals can sea under the stimulus of so great an in entive as this. MEDICAL COLLEGE OP GEORGIA. The annual course of lectures in this institution (says the Augusta Const itutionaliet,) began on Monday, the 1st Inst. The exercises commenced with an ap.. propriate prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wilson, followed by an introductory lecture by Prof. Hf. P. .Campbell. The theme of the speaker was the character of the inedical sciences, and their intimato relation to other sciences. The subject was handled in an able and interesting manner, and was well received by a large audience of students and citizens.. It is due to Professor Campbell to state that Pro. fessor Jones was the orator for the occasion; but owing to his indisposition, the duty unexpectedly de olved upon Professor C.; though we must say that his addrdss gave no evidence of the haste with which it was prepared. From the number of students in attendance on the irst day of the course, there is no doubt that the cass will be a large one. THlE HUNTING SEASON. Our sporting gentry are all agog after the natural ausements of the season,-amusoments that occol all other manly amusements as far as the sun surpas os gas-light,-we of course mean the Inspiring anusements of the hunt and of the chase, One young untaman tells us he has caught a dozen foxes alrea y, mostly red ones. Yet it is scarcely cold enough for the fox.chase, When the frosty mornings comp o,-and they will be here presuntlyp-then lot your orns be winded and the tall hounds be cheered on to he race.

Its right;-its healthful ;-its lorious. Let u~s all go out and stretch our stiff limbs in the manly diversions of the field. If we cannot o much, let us run along and see others do it. This is almost as good. Ho, for the hunting field!i Who'll o? Clean up your old double barrels, all hands, and trn out. Health and freedom beckon you to the hunt and to the ehase. A PLEA FOR WOMAN. Rev. Mr. Hov'r's address, on the culture of woman, ica very pleasing effort. He feels the importance of his subjoot and impresses it with zeal and truthfulness. )urs is the ago of female education,-a feature which istinguishes It from all past ages, It is one of the glories of the nineteenth centucry.

SENATOR HAMMOND'S BARNWELL -SPEECH. This admirable speech is displayed In full upon our first page. It will receivo the close attention of the people of South Carolina. It presents the indepen dent views of an honest statesman and a man of genius, actuated by a high sense of duty to his home and his country. Let It be studied and heeded ac oordingly. Senator HAxMOND will perhaps be attacked upon several of his points,-indeed he hs been attacked already by the Charleston M/ercury, and one or two of Its carping contributors. But lot us bear in mind that the words of Wisdom are oft-times unpalatable to the excitable and impetuous ;-And yet these last are not without their uses. Checked by & superior prudence, they servo to keep freemen awake to a sense of thu difficulties that necessarily surround them. Had they the reins in their grasp, then in. deed would freedom at once become another name for revolution. But held subservient to a matured foresight, they act as a sort of alarm-guard against all possible foos. Sometimes these foes are imagina ry ;-but sometimes too they are real; although huge ly magnified, it may be. It is the true statesman's province, to direct this enthusiasm In the right chan nel, if it be based upon realities; or to quench it i1 founded upon imaginary fears. Such, as it appears to us, is the present course o Senator HaMMoND. Respectful to all, and regardfu of every one's honest opinions, he yet talks of things as they appear to his own sound intellect. He speaki confidently, because he soes clearly. Frofn the stand point of his high endowments, he finds safety for the South in the future of the Union. Yet, not over trustful of his own prescience, he avows that, if mis taken, he is ready to go with the foremost in any no. cessary measure of Southern action. We can but believe that the Senator's lofty and truthful position will command for him the more cm pfete confidence and admiration of South Carolina. THE ROUT. The Democracy is routed throughout the North Republicanism is rampant. What is to come of it no one can say. We have reason to fear the worst Now is the time fur Southern men every where te bury all petty feuds and jealousies, and buckle os their armor In a common cause. Let the wisdom o our leaders devise what is beet fur us to do. Le them do this if lossible, In unitedeouncil, as soon ai Congress meets. The times are threatening. Let ui banish home dissensions and unite upon a platforn whose whole object shall be the safety of the South Whether we aro to work on still with a routed party or whetbor it Is better for the South to stand also from all entanglements and defy the storm, are ques tions which our leaders must decide among thema selves. Heaven grant that they decide for the best HENEY'S STORE Is one of the most popular dry-goods houses is Augusta.

It is with m1elancholy satisfaction that we pay the last tribute in our power to a friend of long standing by copying a just notice of his life and char'acter from the obituary department of the Charleston Mercury No more perfect model of a Southern gentleman I left living, than was tko lamented deceased. Sub joined is the notice alluded to: "Mr. Alston was a son of Wm. Algernon Alston Esq., of Georgetown, and nephew of the distinguishe< American, Washington Alaton. He wasn a native o this city, was partly educated here, and finisiged hi studies at the Virginia University. His planting In terest and residence being in Georgetown, he repre sented one of-the parishes of that District in the Stat Legislature for- several terms. During this time, hi very faithfully served his constitueney; and while hi entire course, as a legislator, was conservative in high degree, he never permittgd himself to be misles by passion or swayed by prejudice. In 1854 he re moved his residence to his native city. A priacipa motive for this move, was the education of his chil dren. He. felt this subject to be of vital and absorb ing Interest, and bent all his energies to its judicioui aceomplishment. It was here that thei leading fee tures of his character fully developed themselves. J4 man of leisure, isiciead- origlving himself up to.'ease he ardently sought to be useful. Although he dik not participate in the strife of ambition, nor seel public place, he was keenly alive to all tha concerned the welfare of the commonwealth, and the city in particular. His chief desire (and to this hi used uneansing effort) was to generate and Inspiresa refined taste. He participated with Washington All. ston in the inheritance of a talent for painting, ant attaining to considerable skill in the art, he added ti its cultivation a very extended knowledge of its his tory and literature, In communIon with this passlos for the beautiful in nature, he loved music and poetry and zealously endeavored to infuse into society thi same taste. With this view, irith great personal ex ertion, ho gathered the productions of our own Fra. ser, and delighted thousands with their contemplation Fired by the success of this temporary exhibition, anc encouraged by Its general aceptance, he was untiring in establishing an "Art Union" in this place, but hi had searcely laid the foundation when he was suatchet away. Nor was he satisfied wIth these public efforts to refine society. lie exercised in private an elegant although very unostentatious hospiltality, and by the polish and simplicity of his b'earing, manners and ontertainmnents, ho set an cxamp~le of the highest re. finemnent. He loved genius and virtue, and he sym. pathized with their humblest possessors, whilst hi despised the loftiest rank without them. When wealth is the accident of such a man, It is not eas3 readily to appreciate its value as a public benefaction His private virtues were not less to be admired thai those which were seen on the outside. Unselfish in remarkable degree, his heart ran over with benero lence and affection, and no tenderness was too gentlh for those he loved. Firm and unyielding in the couirse of duty and honor, he melted into softness with the griefs of others. In his death the publih have met with a great loss. We dare not refer to his desolated home. THE BLUE RIDGE TUNNEL. The Walballa Biannecr states that 800 hands are now engaged on the great Tunnel of the Dlue Ridgi rail road; that the progress is 52 feet a day; and thal it is confidently believed the work will be completed in 20 months more. This looks like a determination to succeed. Let the Tunnel be finished, and it fol. jows, irresistibly to our view, that the road will go on steadily to its final conpletion, The Bannsser suggests further aid from our Legis. lature, and says: "If South Carolina has any favorite ob'joct on which to bestow her assistance, itshould be this Rail. road. Our next Legislature, so far as we can learn, will not hesitate to do all it can to put the State of South Carolina In almost immediate connection witi the great Mississippi River, and with all the WVest and North-West generally. It is the true policy of the Pal. metto State to bind Tennessee, Kentucky and the neigh. boring slave States closely to her bosom, so that in case of any serious eruption in the Union, she may find not only interested friends, hut sistorly assistance from the closest ties of neighborship and association.". All very well, except that it is rather difficult to ap preciate our progressive cotemporary's use of the *ord "eruption." Does he mean a civil volcano, oi a sort of political small-pox? Which? S. C. CONPERENCE. The session of the South Carolina Conference ol the M. E.. Church, South, will be held in Charleston, beginning on Wednesday, let December, During this session, (says the Charleston Churdr,] 'vith other public anniversary coelobrations, there will be a mqeeting of the. " fistorical Sooiety of the Soulh Carolina Qogrnise," with an address by P'rofessui A. M. Shipp, of the North Casrolina Vnlversity. Tbh Corresponding Secretary Is Rev. A. G. Stacy, of Mlrion Court House, who will receive any histori cal contributions or documents that may be offered for the Society, whose aims are to preserve all record. connected with the establishment and progress of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in any part, of the South Carolina Conference. The Conference limits include the State of South Carolina and a portion of North Carolina. DEAD-HEADISM. We occasionally hear of railroads, theatres, exhi bitions, book-publishers and various uther institutions complainingofdead heads,butthe following paragraph, which contains much truth, shows how the press suf fers from it. The writer says: The press endures the afflicetion of dead-headism from the pulpit, the bar and the stage; from corpora tions, societies and individuals. It is expected to yield its interests, it is required to give strength to weak In stitutions, eyes to the blind, clothes to the naked, and bread to the hungry; it is asked to cover up Infirmi lIes, bide weakiness, and wink at improprieties; It is egpeeted to heral4 quacks, bolster up dull authors, and latter the braip; 4~ is, $p shorI, 1o be alil thIngs to all men; and if it looks for pay or reward, it Is denouneed as mean and sordid.

OBEIT UA R Y, Miss FRANCES BROAD WATER is no moure ! She breathed her last aboet 3 o'clock Monday morning, the first of November, in the 23d year of her age, daughter or Mr. Guy BROAn'waMn. She was truly the pride and ornament or the family circle. Sometimes a widowed sister claimed and re esived her compiany and her kind and useful atten tion ; and then it was a consolation to the family, and especially her aged parents, to know that FANxy would come home again. But alas ! now she Is gone nevermore to return. May the disconsolate family and friends of the deceased have the oonsolation of the word of God, which says: " But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope ; for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him." She was baptised on a profes sion of her faith, at the Baptist Church of Christ at Rehoboth some four or five years ago, and adorned the profession she made with a well ordered life and pious conversation. " Blessed arc the dead that die in the Lord." .D. D. DIun, June 16ith, in Edgefield District, S. C., Mrs. SUSANNAHI CAUGGUMAN, wife of Rev. Exx~Uxt. CAUUMAs, in the 52d year of her age. She becamo a member of the Evang. Lutheran chu-ch in eairly life, and more than 27 years ago she embraced Chriat In the parden end remission of her sins bmy a living and evangelical faith. She found great pleasure in training up her children in the nur tur0 and admonition of the Lord, anid for their use fulness in his kingdom; and she lived to see them all converted to God by a saving and evangelical faith. She wras kind and affectionate to all, and her hand was ever open to administer to the wants of the dis tressed. Truly brother Canghman and his motherless children have lost one whom they never can forget one for whom they may weep and mourn ; but they tnourn not without hope, for they have every assu rance, if they hold out faithful, they shall all meet her again In the kingdom of immortal glory. She bore her affliction with resignation and christian fortitude, and the nearer she came to the portal of death the stronger her faith grew; and would often exclaim, " I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my course," Ac.
