ARTHUR STXKTNS, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1859. Postponed. 0wiso to a prees of political and news matter, "CousaIL 0( and" CuiArTY," along with several new advertiernents aro necessarily postponed un til next week. Horse Taming. Those of our citizens who are incredulous upon the subject of horse taming, can have their doubts entirely removed by applying to Mr. Asa~n Ar xissox, a professor of that art now in this place. Mr. A., as many of our readers know, is a native ani a resident of this District, and may be relied upon in all respects. He has purchasod from the celebrated Lamit the sole right to practise thit singular art in Edgeteld and Barnwell; and is prepared to indoctrinate all who desire it, at the moder.ite rate of ($10) ten dollars for a course ol lessons,-no pay required if the pupil is not satis fi-d. Having attended Mr. ATvstsoN's instructive exhibitions with a number of other gentlemen, we take pleasure in saying that the thing is no hum bug-but, on the contrary, a practical good, which all country gentleman, and especially such as art fund of horses, should thoroughly understand. Mr. A. can put you through easily and elegantly. James Heney, of Augusta. Ona of the most inviting Stores in the City of Augusta is that of Mr. JAuzs ltmeY. Besides his superior assortment of Dry Goods, he has a Millinery department in fine order immediately connected with his other business, under the su pervision of Mrs. H., where may be found the most elegant and fashionable array of Bonnets, La dies' and Misses' Hats, Mantillas, Shawls, Rib bons, Trimmings, &c., &c. This Establishmct ought to be a great attraction to the Ladies. Steamer Augusta Burned--Loss of Life. Wz announced very briefly in our evening edi tion of yesterday.(says the Augusta Consitution alset, of the 3d inst.,) the destruction of the steam boat Augusta, by fire, on the Savannah river, about forty miles below this city. The Augusta left here at half-past four o'clock on Friday evening last, and was on her way to Savannah, with a very valuable cargo, consisting of some seven hundred and eighty bales of cotton, live hundred and thirty-five barrels of flour, a lot of bran, and other articles. About eleven o'clock P. U., while laid up at Eagle Point, lire was discovered in some c-tton in the fore part of the boat. The progress of the fire was very rapid, and the boat was soon envel oped in tames. Most of the hands were asleep at the time; and it was with great difliculty that Capt. FRAssn, or any of thoso on board could be saved. Mr. Ienry Day, the first engineer, was drown. ed; and three negro men were also lost-two of them drowned, and one-the cook-probably burned. The boat was burned to the water's edge, and, with the cargo, is a total loss. We have been in formed that the cotton was insured, a portion in New York, and a portion in Boston; and the fon in this city; but there was no insurance on the boat. The origia of this unfortunate and melancholy affair is unknown. Hon. Jas. P. Carroll. The Newlberry Coarrariat, in making mention of the late termn of the Court for that Distriet, thus alludes to Col. JAxxS P. CARKOLL: "iThe principal case, and the most interestiny of the week, wais that of The State, vs. Caper, Cont, Kat~y Counts and Levi tjroober, for the murder of Elaey Morris, on Christmas night last. Solicitor Fair and Hon. J. P. Carroll, of Edgefield, c'ndemd the prosecution, while the defence wa aly tained by Messrs. Garlington, Baxter and laliamws, of the Newberry Bar. For the first time we had an opportunity of hearing Col. Carroll speak, and wore delighted with his calla and do li'borete manner, no loss than by his clear, concise and logical reasoning." -We arc gratified by this compliment of the Cox-. cereat iet to one of our'first and best men ; espe cially so, as the Colonel had expressed himself, since his return, dissatisfied with his ef'ort on the occasion alluded to. He had undergone two weeks of great labor at our own Court immediately pie. ceding. was actually unstrung at the time of the trial, and felt that he hadnot done himselfjtistice in his argument. We are glad to know that this was all in his own imagination. Witt and Hudson. Persons in want of furniture would do well to call at the furniture rooms of Messrs. Wim & Ilcasow in this village. Their supply is large and well selected, embracing all such articles as are needed in the bed-room, the dining-roorn, or the parlor. Messrs. WV. & H. are determined to soll at prices that cannot admit of grumbling ; And they ask an examination of their stock. You wili scarcely go further, if you call on them. A Notable Invention. We have seen a capital improvement at the Car ria;;c Store of Messrs. Cearsr & HIuKLaxar, in the shape of a " Spring-back Buggy," invented by Mr. N. Cowcas, who is now engaged in superin tending it. construction at the workshop of the above-named firm, Hie has been here in fact on. that businesa for a month past. The invention is one which widl nott rail to p'iense every inun coti. ve-rsant with the :mnnufacture or this favorite ye hiele. It 'ecures great additional comfort to ther tra&veller. It is a Fecurity against breakage in two essentisl places; first, the driver's back, and next. the buggy's coupling. Go and see for your selves, and you will understand the matter much better than we can tell you. Deming and Day. SEE the advertisement of this cnterprising Dry Goods House.

Passing over the Edgefieldand Hamburg Plank Road the other day, we found cause to bes truly delighted at its manifest improvement during the past few months. Despite windl and weather, and we have had a great deal of both,-the work of repairs has .gone on steadily andl cheeringly. Returning home the next day, late in the afternoon, whom should we find with the bands emp.loyedl on the road but the indlefatigabie President of the Company himself, with coat thrown off'and sleeves rolled up, directing and helping the laborers. It was inspiring of hope,-hope that the most useful public enterpritee ever accomplished in Edgefield is not to be allowed to rot in the dust. Nine cheers to Mr. Cunar ! Let the people foster on to sue .cess his assiduous exertions in their behalf. Let us all do our duty in the matter, and the Plank Road will soon be reewed, and a great inustiutons *khbyrptervd to th. district.) Remarks of Hon. N. L. Bonham. On Monday last quite a number of our most intelligent citizens were in attendance at this place notwithstanding the heavy rains of the night pre vious and the swollen condition of the creeks and branches. At the hour of 12 M, it was announced that our immediate Congressman, General Box uAw, was ready to addrers his constituents on the political matters of the day; and in a short timo the Court Houso was thronged. General BoNHAm said that he found pleasure in being able thus early to comply with a call that had bon made upon him to address the people. lie responded readily and cheerfully. The events of the past Session of Congress were of great mo ment to the country, and he deeply regretted that the indications were of that inauspicious character which prevented his replying with hopefulness to tie inquiry addressed to him as one of their senti nets-" Watchman,what orthe night?" He could not say, with the seutryou his lonely round, "Air well!" Duty comp ellil him to declare that it was not a time ofsecurity with us, but that, to the reverse, the rights and interests of the South have never >een in more peril or in greater danger. Nine years ago Mr. CALHOUN predicted with his accus toued furecast, that if this slavery agitation were not arrested in its mad progress, it would end in a lissolution of the Union. Wore he now alive, he would And but too much cause to realizo the force of his predictio,-to be convinced, in fact. that the events he foresaw in the distance were almost im mediately at hand. There were many matters of interest before Con gress at its recent Session, but that which towered in magnitude above the rest was still this ceaseless question of slavery. Reference to the later de bates of the Session will indicate with sufficient clearness what we are to expect in this connection from the Federal Congress. General BosNAx then reviewed the progress of the ainti~slavcry agitation and its repeated en croachments upon the South. He spoke of the legilation of Congress begun as far back as 1784; of the famous ordinance of 1787, by which Slave States ceded to the anti-slavery demand extensive and invaluable territory; of the Compromise of 1820 and its adverse effects upon the power and well-being of the Slave States; of the California swindle, by which territory purchased largely by Southern treasure and Southern blood was yielded to the craving appetite of a rapacious anti-slavery majority. It had been said that, to compensate for these frauds, a repeal of the odious Missouri Compromise had been effected. But what will be the value of that repeal, if the dangerous positions of Senator DOUGLAS are to exercise a controlling influence in the direction of affairs? It will prove to be but a phantom to allay Southern indignation; and instead of resulting in her benefit, its advan tages will rather accrue to the North, opening to her citizens yet more available means of occupying even the Southern territories and of baniehing slavery from their borders. The speaker next proceeded to combat the dan gerous views of the Illinois Senator. The mischief began with a real or afected misunderstanding of the Kansas Nebraska Act. By thenon-intervention of Congress, no more nor less was ever meant than this, that Congress should not Legislate slavery into or out of a Territory. Abolitionists said Congress had that right. Both wings of the Democratic party denied this. The Southern wing maintained that the question of dlavery or no slavery, is to be decided by the Con a'ention called (whenever the number of the in :mabitanuts juetified it) to form the Constitution of .he new State, preparato.ry to admission into the Confederacy of States, and not before. Squatter Sovereignty, whilst it adlmits the right of~ the dlaveholder to go with his slaves into the Territo aies, says, that the power to deterinn whether slavery shall or aball not exist in the Territriis, is in the Territorial Legisla~tureo; and if the Leg islature, as has been dune in Kansas, say slavery shall not exist in the Territory, athough it admits the action of that Legislature must he subordinate to the Constitution and the Supreme Court, still it further says, Congress can not interfere to enfore the rights of the slave holder in the Territory. If this doctrine be true, it is as bad as the Wihmot Proviso,'an.l renders the repeal of the Missouri Compromise a dead litter. It is the idlest mocke ry to tell the slaveholder, you have as much right to take your slaves into the Territories, as the northern man his horse, but if the Territorial Leg islature, backed by a handful of Squatters, say slavery shall not exist, that there Is no remedy. Wherever there is a right, there is a remedy. The Kansas Territorial Legislature has under taken to prohibit slavery. This sets at naught the Constitution and the decision of the supreme Court of the United States, and whenever a case arises of a slave holder being deprived of the enjoyrnent of ais property by such Legislation, it will he the du ty of Congress to pass such laws as will carry in to effect the true intent and meaning of the Con stitution. Any otlier doctrine will prove destruc tive of the rights of the Southecrn peoiple in the common Territories. The creature can not be greater than the creator. Congress has no right to Legislate slavery inro or out of a Territory. Can its were creatures do it ? But Congress has passed a fugitive slave law, to carry out the pro' visions of the Constitution even in Sovereign States. How much more then is it competent for Congress-ay, its duty, to pass necessary Laws to protect the rights of the citizen in the Territories when the mere creatures of Congress not only re :use that protection, biut legislate adversely. No 'ther view than this was entertainedl any where. or al least not d~cared, until .'sr. U),rom..s. finding it necess~ary to secure hissent in the U'nitedl States Senato, pronmulged hais erre'nes view. oaf Squ:tter Sovroignty,-views at onceu antagnistic to the Kaunas Nebraska Act and at variance with the democratic platform announced by the Cincin .tti Convention, which Mr. Docosass is understood to have cordially approved. But ho has gone against us, as the declarations of his Freeport speech unmistakeably prove. His new-fledged principle is dangerous to our republican systemn, and especially detrimental to the interests of the Southern people. It p'repares in our territories an inviting resort fur the flocks of emigrants daily rrving at Northern ports, and for the surplus population of the Northern States, many of them .raw:: from the vilest purhicus of their cities. In its operation, it presents the startling spectacle of a few thousand such settlers gifted with the extra ardinary power of excluding eight millions of freemen from the common property of the people of these States. In the late Congressional debate, Sentors, Masox, DAvis, Bmtowx, and others, met this view of the Illinois Senator with the doeclara tion that his doctrine is naot, seas not, and cannot be the doctrine of/the South. But for this danger ous developement by one who has occupied so prominent aposition in the democratic ranks, there was ground for hope that our territorial organiza tions might have proceeded peacefully in the fu ture; but now that Kansas has undlertaken to abolish slavez'y in her borders, now that this doc trine of squatter sovereignty is being embhracedi openly by the North, and at least by thu DOcerLas faction of the democracy, the question is upon us and we are obliged to meet it. The speaker then followed Mr. Carmmousx in tra ing the gradual severance that hadl been long going on between the North and the South, the rending asunder of the links of the churches standing protninent in this manifestation. -Ho would follow up that train of thought. The politi al parties of the country are also going by the board. The Whig party is already gone ; and the Democratic party, he feared, was also about to loss the prestige of its greatness and suecess. No man had more to do with bringing this 'about than Snator DosoeAs, by his combination with the Black Republicans against-the Locompton Con stitttion. If he was the'n suspected of unsound ness, what can we say of hhn now, that he has palpably gone over to the enemy. General BoYUAM thean proceeded to touch brmief ly upon the Tariff, declaring his belief that wo would be speedily called on to look this question fully in the face. Hie entered into a critical analysis of the present tariff, showing itai unequal bearing on the South. Hie feared no division on this point in South Carolina. Even in 1833, when differences existed anmongst us as to the mode of re dress, her people were a unit in hostility to the1 protective system. To this day, theirhostllity is the satchless eloquence of our own McDUFyiK. Hap y for us, that it is so; fur that battle is again to e fought. During the past winter, we of the louth had cause to realize the coming on of the torm. Upon the very first day of the Session, a lemocrat succeeded in suspending the rules of he House, and presented a resolution to revive his abomination. The object had in view was afficiently clear; indeed it was not sought to be lisguised. The aimu and purpose was protection, oy increasing the duties on articles at present axed, without reference to any abridgement of the ,resent free list as was hinted. By great exertion be measure was smothered for the aussion ; but it vill in all probability come upon us next winter. With the falling off of tho democracy to be expec. ed in Pennsylvania and elsewhere upon this sub eet, we cannot well hope to avert the measure onger. It will be forced upon us, if we are pre ?ared to submit. The speaker next alluded to the Homestead Bill, spoke of it as a put scheme of the abolitionists, well cLlculated to assist the emigration societies of he North in filling up the territories with free votes. With the allurement of a homestead in the distance, rree of cost, the operations of these societies would be increased tenfold. Bring, then, into successfuli play, the infamous doctrine of squatter sovereignty; and we of the South, and ours, are forever exclu. led from all participation in the benefits of the public domain. In this connection he would ten ler a deserved tribute to the manliness and virtue of President BUCnANAN, who had boldly vetoed this insidious bill.* The present administration, he thought, had come into power under rather unfa vorable auspices; and up to the time of WALKzRf's dismissal from Kansas, it could not be said that the President was altogether acceptable to the South. Some of his principles were not so now. His recommendation of specific duties in lieu of ad valorcno, stood prominent among these. (Here our representative drew a lucid distinction between these kinds of duties.) His Pacific Railroad project and his suggestion of a Mexican Protectorate were likewise objoectionable. But Mr. BucRiANAc has yet stood the friend of the South on many ques tions, and he deserves the gratitude of our people. His veto of the Homestead Bill, his ardent support of the Lecompton Constitution and his present un finching advocacy of the restrictive clause of the English Bill, form a part of his course which calls for our unstinted approval. He (General B.) whilst ever opposing the administration where he thought its policy Incompatible with the interests of his section, had ever given it his most cordial support when right. . In regard to the Publie Expenditures, there was ample cause for dissatisfaction in knowing that sixty millions of dollars were now called for to de fray the expenses of administering the govern ment, whereas thirty millions were sufficient for that purpose only sixteen years ago. This rapid increase of expenditures could be rationally ac cointed for, in part, by the necessities of our growing country. The increase still was enor mons, and presented a fit subject of reform. The Democracy wars not altogether responsible for this state of things. The Republicans must bear their share of the blame. The former had already com menced the work of retrenehment. " Thus," said the speaker, "have I briefly ad verted to some of the dangers that beset our path way in this Government. You will now naturally ask me,--wihat is the remedy ? The question is one of momentous Interest, and neither to be asked nor answered lightly. In-replying to it, I ean on ly speak for myself; and I otter what I would ny if mny voice were potent In the South. Since the time when you honored tne with a seat in the Stgte Cornventioti of 18! I have ever becen a secession ist, and a sepeiate secessionist ; but the'events of that period shorwed but too clearly that no Sioth ernr State is likely to nmake a great movement, like this, alone. My suggestion is, that the South stand up as one mean in defence of her rights in thre Union, having for her first great object the control of the Democratic party. But if that party shall refuse to stand with us, then will It become nees sary that we take our own position as a section. If our whole people, Democrats, Whigs and Know. nothings, will lay aside their differences and unite for this work ; if we shall resolve together to avoid all distracting issues new or old; we can then make the democratic party of the country feel that we intend to have our rights in the Union or out of it ;-and then there may be bhlpe. But. failing In this, what should we do? Stand still and have the chains of slaves forged upon us? Every true Southern heart will answer, "icer." Some movement must then be begun, if not by all, by some portion of the slave States at every ha: ard. We have the example of the OlM Thirteen to cheer us, in the history of their movement to wards the war of the Revolution. That movo ment was not a simultaneous one; and so may ours not bre. Like them, some two or more of the slave States may be compelled to take the lead; and like them, all the rest will follow and consu mate the great achievement. But in the initiation of iueh a movement, there are two or three steps it iiill be right in us to take. First, let us drop the existing Compact. Secondly, let us form a new Compact with new guards for our safely and equality in the Union. If this be not accepted, then what is left us hut to fling to the breeze the banner of a Southern Republic ?" The speakcer here closed amid the applause of his gratified auditory. We regret that, owing to his indisposition, we have been dependent for our report upon a few mecagre notes taken during the ,!elivery of thre spchl. We have nevertheless en *lenvorel, ars fair as we~ have reportcd, toi adhere to. theo -ubstance of n but was ,ir'ken, and spoken so fircibly and elo-iiuently. o Ti'i is a mnidake in our report.

Vernon Association, by publishing the subjoined appeal in that behalf to the Surveyors of (Goorgia. It is hoped that the intelligent Suar veyors of South Carolina will also take it bomne to their hearts and honor the draft thus made by lovely woman upoan their liberality and patriotism. A toesta, (JA., 1st Jan. 18591. To the Surreyors of thte Stole of Georgiu :-A, Surveyors, I aom sure it is notl necessary to occupy much of your time with preliminary remarks. I therefoire proceed at once to adidress you, trusting the cause will be suffieient apology for the liberty I have taken in submitting this to your favorable onesideration, as an appeal for aid to the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association. You are aware the Ladies of the United States have undertaken to purchase Moeunt Vernon, the Home and Tomb of Washington, with the view of onsecrating them as a monument to - The Father of his Country." You are aware, too, that the Ladies of Georgia participate In this undertaking, and from time to time have called apon gentlemen to aid them in the accomplishment of their pur pose. The object is unquestionably worthy of attain ment; it is also worthy of encouragement, for it is a pure heart-offering of American women. 'Are we to he proud of Womeun, and approve their effort t.o erect a shrine at which our souls and those of succeeding generations boauy gather the inaepirautionas of piure patriotism, arnd naeglect to help. them ? I trust not. Therefore I call upon you, as a brother surveyor andl errnftsmnan of Wash. iugtun, to co.ntriburte p..tmething~ to the success of this enterprise of Ameurierrn Ladies. Do not let the craft be charged with dereliction of the patri otism and gallantry of tire Hero who has given so much dignity to the p~rofesion. In the absence of organization, the Surveyors of thre country are'not recognised as one of its institutions, and they do not stand as prominently before the public as a class, au others of equal merit. This movement, however, If it Is accom plished with tolerable unanimnity, will show their strength, and in conneetion with the occasion, will give them the rank to which they are entitledi. Georgia has about one hundred and fifty Survey rs, anid the United States about five thousand. A small contribution from each would make up a sum of such magnitude as would ensure the Sur rers an honorable place in the archives of the Association. With the above tas "stations, pointers and cor ur," the "line," of your regard for Wasshington ad.thae Ladies can easily he " run" to your satis action. Respectfully yours, A Ctousvr SUnvEroa. Contributions should be addressed to Mrs. Philo dena E. Eve, Vice Regent Mount Vernon Associa Ion, Augusta, (is., or to any of her Lady Assis anti In your respective counties. W A down east Pet thus imumortalises the eautiful river, Connecticut: "Roil en, loyed Connecticut, long hat thou ran, giving shad to Squatter Sovrcignty. A respected and cherished corrcspondent en luires of us: " Why is it that you have not given Ln opinion about DovosmAS's infernal doctrine of iquatter sovreignty. If that thing is to be tolora od, all constitutional landmarks might as well be Obliterated." A word or two in response. Many weeks ago, his paper did denounce the opinions of the Illinois 3enator, upon this very point, as "hereuical." Bineo that time, we had been induced to think that those opinions were by no moans so extreme as newspaper reporters had represented them ; and we were inclined to modify our judgment of that tatesman's political soundness accordingly. Thus impressed, we penned this brief paragraph in our issue of the 2nd March: "By the way, the "Little Giant" is narrowing down his notion of squatter sovereignty to a very small point. lie declares that slaves are proper ty; and that slave-holders have a perfect right to take them into any territory while it remains a territory; and, furthermore, that no territorial legislature has a right to inhibit slavery or to leg islate against it, for thatany such legislation would be unconstitutional. He declares though, that it is entitled to no more special protection than any other species of property. Now, if this implies that there is, under the organic act or elsewhere, any general protection of all kinds of property (slavery included) the Illinois Senator's political mal-feasanco is not so heretical as was supposed." By developments which do not admit of doubt, it now appears that Mr. DOULAS was not misun dorstood as to the extent of his opinions on the subject of popular sovreignty. In other words, his Southern friends and would-be-supporters have failed to give any such coloring to his doctrine as can at all recommend it to Southern approbation. When Mr. DOUGLAS says that the people can drive slavery from a territory by unfriendly legis lation, injurious enactments, &a., and that Congress cannot intervene to prevent them, we hold that he is subverting the principles of our government in a most dangorous point. The doctrine of 4ion-in tervention, as established by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, had directly in view this vital question of slavery, and iwas understood to be an agreement that all citizens of the United States, with any and all kinds of property, should enter the territories with equal rights and remain there with equal rights until such time as the people, emerging into life as a State Sovroignty, should be recognized by Congress as the proper power to decide for itself this and all other questions of domestic polity. Then and then .alone does there arise, on territori al ground, any authority of equal power with that of the Federal Government,-any authority, In fact, which is not the mere creature of the F.ederal government and amenable to its controll in all cases of unconstitutional legislation. Then and then alone, does the authority exist iany schere to legislate for or against African Slavery. If such be not the doctrine of non-intervention, then have many of us at the South sadly miscalculated the progress of sound principles as held forth by the Democracy of the Union. But others do not go quite to the DoroLAs ex treme of squatter sovreignty. They maintain that the territorial government has no power to legislate against slavery, by acts directly prohibitory; and yet, that it can withhold protective legislation to such an extent as will effectually exclude or ban ish slave-holders from the occupancy of the terri tories with their peculiar kind of labor. It is matter of deep regret to observo that even a few Southern journals are looking upon this position with suomie degree of toleration. How it it possible that they can do so ? Whatever it be of goverunen tal influence that militates against slavery in the territories, whether the actiona or the non-action of the territorial authorities, whether the esnity or the neglect of the territorial oflicials to do equal instice to all, it is alike violative of Southern rights and in contravention of constitutional justice. The South asks no speial protectioin for the property of her citizens in thse territoris,-that is, no fur ther protection thsan is vouchsafed to every other kind of property against injuries and trespasses. lBnt this last degree of protection she does claim under the broad sagis of the Constitution, and that sun of hers who would yield this claim,- for a mo ment is surely deluded by seine strange infatua tion. We neither need nor ask that any new regulations or laws be - instituted by the territorial governments for the safety of our slaves. But we demand that our property in them shall stand securely under the protection of the Courts and the officers of the Courts. We insist upon our right to as prompt redress in the territorics as we can obtain in the District of Columbia. We fur ther insist that any obstacle thrown in the way of this redlress by the territorial legislature,-ay, more, that any omission of theirs by which this re .reus may be imupared, domands the intervention of Congress in our behalf; if an obstace, it is an unconstitutional act which Congress is bound to reverse ; if an omission, it is an unconstitutional refusal of justice which Congress is bound to reme dly. Admit that our appeal to the Courts will be sufficienst ina such cases, andl Conagress may rest in peace. lint if it be not so, thena Congress must intervene to make it so. If this be inconsistent with the boasted discovery of non-intervention, then down forever with the stupid delusion. Sure ly the South will stand as one man upon an issue involving so clear a principle as this. Surely our Southern delegations in Congress will be required by the peole of the. Southern States to hold fast the faith on this vital point with a tenacity that shall know no flinching. Let the Democracy be blown to the four winds if this concession is to be the condlitions of its preservation. If this shall prove to h~e the turning pofint of that party's existence. thetn is it time' thr~t its ranks h~e dlisso.lvo'd and stone ohier aorillshame lbe lifted for ousr political sal Bunt we hopep yet foer better things. We trsust that the "old guard" of the Conistitution is not to te demoralirzed and destroyed by any such judicial bliudness. We trust that the mecre amubition of party success will not be suffered thus to stain its time-honored buanner. Rather let it "eling to the pillars of the temple of our liberties, aud if it must fall, le.t (the party) perish amidst the ruins." Perishing thus is better than victory on other terms. Beccause, perishing thtus, it may arise again into a yet brighter and more glorious being. hBt, conquering with false colors, its victory will terminate in the loss of honor, and then will it " fall, like Lsucsvasn, ne ver to rise again." We ap peal then to the party to steer cle:.r of this abomni nable DocLAN heresy. If it will not, we unite with those who urge the South to come together at once andl breast the storm that gathers around and above us. Joe Haddena's Trick. J'o, was belated in Augusta the ether night. Returning to Hamburg, the bridge-keeper refused to get up and let him t'hrough the gate. What to do now ? was JoE's perplexity. But he was not long tronlod. Seeing an engine convenient on the South Carolina Railroad track just above the city bridge, he took possession, watered her, fared up, and drove ever the Railroad bridge in grand style on his own hook. This freik will seem quito in thse 'ourse of things, whent the reader is infornm d that Jon HIanasy is said to be the engineer who first curried an engine tharoughs on the Caro lina Road. Pour fellow ! lie is still a good en gineer, but by reason of a curtain bad habit has lst emuploymeont, at least so far as Railroad en gio',s are concerned.

XL " The war must be carried into Africo." Having disposed of the general question as to the ability of the presedt slave States of this Union, either alone, or in conjunction with Mexico and Central America to profitably subsist and em ploy millions more Africans for thousands of years, or until population shall have attained 100 or 200 to the square mile, lot us now consider whether if the slave trade were revived, the insti tution of slavery could be established in our terri tories, or in the Free States. As heterodox as the followigg propositions are, I zlaintain, 1. That If the slave trade had never been closed none of the old Northern States, except may be those of New England, would have ever abolished slavery. 2. That perhaps none of the New Free States would have failed to establish it. 3. That if the slave trade were now revived slavery would be established in all or nearly all of both the Territories and Free States. As all the issues here raised naturally run into each other, it would be better to examine them colleotively Instead of in detail. In the first place, social phenomena are governed by as died laws, as those of the physlal world. Man with all his god-like faculties and fierce pas sionsis as much an even quantity as any other mobile element in nature and if left free to work out his happiness in his own way, he will seek it in the most obvious pathsa, according to the rules prescribed by the 1)ivine Crentor. lience it is onily in obedience to the laws of climatec that popu lation is always impelled Southwcard unless re strained, or diverted by somne adverse influene. The specification of a few simple facets will snffice to demonstrate this. Less labor can be performed in a Northern latitude than in a Southern, because snow and extreme cold exist for many months of each year in high latitudes. The same labor pro duces much less in a Northern climate than In a Southern one on account of the variety of pro ducts being smaller and the season for their growth being so :nuch shorter in the North than in the South, and from ninny other facts which will readi ly od'eer upon a little reflections Labor also con eamee much more of whant it does produce, In the North than in the South. It requires more food because a larger quantity Is neceasary to supply the fuel for animal heat. Any one eats more during winter, than in summer, even in the same latitude. The people-of the tropies take but two very light and mostly vegitable taeals, in the twenty four hours. Labor needs thicker and warmer clothing i a Northern climate. It also demands more fuel and bettor shelter against the unfriendly ele moents. In addition to all this nnn forever desires to inhabit a cocuntry, where lhe can feel eanforta hle at all times against Inhospitable weather. The result is that although mrost men in emigratirig, theoretically, prefer to get a new home in the same latitude as their old one, yet they unconsciously drift Southward. Then as the time for labor is shorter, as the yield of labor is less-as the subisistance of labor is mnore expensive-.-aa the elements are umore un profitous in a cold climate than in a wrarm one, it is only natural that population, should gravitate Southward. Accordingly we find that the densely populous Empires of Montezuma anid Atahualpa were neither of them unore than 20 degrees from the Equator, and that the S'outhern parts of Europe, as well as of Asia are now sund have always been thickly peopled, much mnore so than the Northern. As man cannot subsist except iby the sweat of sume body's brow--as he strives to subsist, as well as enjoy theluxuries of life without any aweatuf his own brow-as power itself is sweet, and slavery there fore the normal relation, which lie will inmpese upon all the labor he can eontrol, it follows that population will not only mnrove Southward hut that it will also e..tablish andl preserve slavery there until thne institution censos to he pirofitabnle.---until the excess of prdtuction over subsistaneo is Mo small as to mnake the slaive vaiinees, when emunci piation will either take place or thne ahuvo will be carried Northward whecre his labir will produce more prolit in a less thickly settled country. It was hy the opieratsion of these cnuses that emancipation, or abolishmoent of white slatvery commenced iu the South of Europe and moeved Northward. But in the United States--this nate ral law of migration-this law of slnvery in other words has been reversed by emancipation coin. maeneing in the North, whence it is moving South wsrd with almost irresistable pressure, which shows that there is somnething wrong-that the laws which have governed slavery from the earli est recorded time have been deranged in soume way, and L contend that. the deranging cause has been the closing of thne slave trade ini 1808. But white slarery and cnmancipation have both been moving Southward, white popaulanion at least as far as foreign emigratioln is concerued may be said to hnve been moving Xorth wurd, again rever. sing the universal law of migration to countries where land is both cheap and fertile. Not only has the huge wave of the European Exodus rolled into the North to swell her population, but the nad4es of the North have also been driven back or damned up, in face of the fact, that If only equal pecuniary and politIcal inducements are offered In a Northern and Southern clime, the latter will always be preferred, on account of its greater ge naeldty, I con tend that this anomaly in the move. ments of white population In the United States has likewise been brought about by the abolish ment of the slave trade. PrevIous to the political explosion known as the French Revolution, foreign emigrants, elected to couttle at the Sooth, because they could thnen get not only a genial elimate, biut a".o rich and ceap lauod, together with cheap slore lab~or. The white population of the North drifse-i Southward for the same reasonis. Every whmite unn who thnen settlerl at the South cicubl bucy negrce. ait importer's prieer, andl then it was that the winnle S-nsh blosinuicd na tihe rose-that Chasrlenston floprished as the Quieen City of the West. She hind r.oro commnerco Slan lialtimonre, Phciladeclphia, New York or Blostuo. Alter the French lietolution summnoined all Europe to arms, emigration thlnece to our shores almost ceased, as mn remnained at hnimie either from pa - triotism or comnpulsiona to light their country's bat ties, nor did it revive until after the fail of Nape. leon. But in the mentiume the slave trade at the Sooth had been closed. Still, up toc the time of its closing and for seome years subsequent, Northern men had continued to come Snouthward, either with their Slaves, in search of a belter climate and better land, or with their skill anid capital to get a good climate-good land and cheap slave labtar on the spot. But when the wars of Europe ended, white emi gration to the South froma either Europe or the North ended alan,. Tihe slave trade had then been closed seven years amnd with Its nhosing, closed also the prosperity of the South and tihe prosperity of Charleston. Her Shippinag anid cmmoere 'led. Her Infant manufactures declinedl. Her wharves were deserted. 11er supply of capital, of white masters and artizains from Eurmope and the North ceased. Even her supply of African laborers fur the Agrieulture of the interior came no more. Labor being the source of all wealth and the streaw of European labor which then Sowed into the United States all touching the continent at the North, remained there, in defiance of the tcntroli log law which makes population move Southward, if left free to obey Its own Impulses, and the blight of.astagnation fell upon the Palmetto City, while inh.po. bec..., bstlaat... r .......:..ar..z Boston and Philadelphia. Professor Maury has accountod for the sudden and entire transfer of ,Ianufactures, shipping and commerce from Char eaton to the North, by Dr. Franklin'd discovery >f the Gulf Ssream, as a means of shortentag the royage between Europe and New York, but with Lll defferunce to the Great Geographer of the Sea, [must be permitted to say that I think it was mused more by the closing of the slave trade than by the opening of tho Guif Stream. If the closing of the slave trade or some other great disturbing cause did not produce it, how else ian the anomalous fact be explained of large Cities like Now York and Boston springing up in the North before they exist in the South of a country having the same laws inhabited by the same race every foot of whose territory is North of all the great Cities in Asia and whose Southernmost isoth. erual line on the Atlantic coast is nearly the same as that of the mighty Capitals about the Meditera. nean Sea. Where were tho Mammoth Cities of Europe and Asia, when history first mentions them f Were they in the South or North ? In Italy and Greece, or in Germany and Russia? In India and Asia Minor, or in Tartary and Siberia? Where were the Emporiums of this Western world, when Columbus discovered it I Were they in Mexico and Peru, or in Cangda and Patagonia? Boston has no better harbor than Norfolk, New York no better one than Beaufort, Philadelphia no better one than Charleston, Brunswick or Fernandina. Then why should white population move North ward here, instead of Southward ? Why should emancipation move Southward here, instead of Northward ? Why should Metropolices rise in the North here before they appear in the South, contrary to every precedent. if there has not been some all powerful agency at work to revorso the laws of nature-to distort the normal movements of society in aggregating population and in organ izing labor ? The suppression of the slave trade has not only transfored the scepter of numbers and of diversified industry to the North, but it has like wise begotten the abolition sentiment of this coun try as well as the sectional protective Tariff policy of our Government. Let us trace a few of the land marks which the closing of the slave trade has produced in working out these deplorable re sults. The evidences which I shall offor will not be far fetched. They are within the comprehen sion of the simplest mind, which can follow the most obvious connection of cause and efct. I respectfully ask the people of Charleston particu larly to lond me their attention upon the cotniner eial bearing of the subject. SCIPIO. For the Advertiser. A Correction- -Revised Translation. Mn. EDITOR:-I have been asked several times during the past week many questions concerning the Revision of our translation of the Bible now in progress. I have answered as beit I could. But when I have been assured that the Methodist Church, of which I have the honor of being an Elder in the Ministry, has a part in this work, I deem it necessary, in this public way, to proclaim that this is not the fact. The Methodist Church has nothing to do with it. It has been urged that we have men engaged in the work who are our members, to which I answer: We may find, If we were to look closely, I have no doubt, amongst a million and half of members in our Church, some in the Penitentiary for ma. king counterfeit money-or in Mason lodges-or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States; but the Church did not send them there no more to one than the other. A connoxional Church like ours can only bo compromised by her Representative, and sho has none in any of these distinguished places, for good or for evil, of her appointing. The above I hope will give decision to the ques tion in the bounds of your circulation with emlha. sie, I hope, and not offence, which is the desire of Yours, respectfully. J. R. P. HYMENEAL.

D. on the 9th of Oct., 1842, andI continued a membier of the Blaptist Church until her death. Though her sickness was short, and her death very unexpected to her friends, the messenger did not find her unprepared. "I heard a voice fresni heaven, saying unto me, Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." Mrs. SUSAN T. SEIGLER, wife of Capt lrax ny SaoLt~n, and youngest daughter of Col. WrAvY Hlot.s, (lied on the morning of the 24th March, 1859, in the 31st year of her age, leaving two lit. tIe children, a husband, and many friends to mournm their loss. The deceased possessed a most even and lively templer, which made her the pride and ornament of the family circle, as well as a shining light in the Chureh. It may he said of her that she was always cheerful hut never vain. She made a pub. lie professio~n of religion several years before her death, which she exemplifned "not with braidedl hair, or goild, or pearls, or costly array ; but with ,hamer.facednoss, sobr ity, and good work,, which becometh women professing godliness." Now that she is no more with us, but present with the Lord, it becomes us to bow with humble submuision to the Divine will. D. D. COMMERCI.A.L. HAMBURG, Apiril, 4th, 1859.
