Amuong the rest, the New York CLima,ercial Adrertiner discourses as follows: "A married lady resident in the neighboring City of Brooklyn, whose name was mentioned in Liu narratWe given to us, bas been spending the winter at Aiken, South Carolina, in company with a Aick daughter. who required a mild climate. A fow weeks agoi .-he wrote to a brother residing in the we-tern part of this State. and, in the course Ot' the letter, spoke of the evils of Slavery, nta she saw themi around her. This letter was pulblished, :id smimne one sent a copy (of ,he paper to the Potmmster tit Aiken. A public imeeting was im mn:diately ealled and a Committee alliited to ferret out the writer. A Northern gen'lemuan who, as an invalid, happened also at the hotel. was sus poeted. and was threatened with lynch law if he di. not ennfess.

The citirons of Aikem imid themselves thus helid up to arni by a spy in their midst. They see enough to convine them (aint they are the best juidgee of the matter) that there is danger to the peaic of their community in the presence zamong theam of a personage so deepiy imbued with enmity, and who aight (as they are led by her own language to apprehend) become the in strunment of impaimrtinmg dangerous sentimentsa to tme slaves thmemmselvos.

Some Sotuthecrn coammumnities migmt have acted iterently ; others, again, would do preisely am 5iken has done. It is one of those peculiar ques ;ions wgch each place must decide for itself. l'hoge whose interests and welfare are immediate. y affected, should be allowed In such cases to ilways provided (as in the Aiken affair) that such action lie tempered by justice and humanity. Let gallantry too prevail, wherever females are impli rated. But gallantry, while it requires us to ob serve with scrupuhua nicety the homage due the gentler sex, does net soecure them from stern but polite interference, when perputrating error. School Declamation. On Friday afternoon last, we bad the satisfac tion of hearing the young men'and boys of MR. FEnnest.'s Academy, in publie declamation. Many of them acquitted themselves handsomely. In spired by the presence of Mr. U WAtiEYs's beauti ful flock of girls, some o the speakers rose to a degree of merit highly creditable, conitlering that this exorcise has been omitted in our Academy for several years. The dehntere rendered their parts very well in manay re.pects. Other youths too deserve mention on account of their evident ambi tion to succeed ; but we can,not discriminate here. After hearing them all several times, we will le better able to form a correct opinion of their rela tive merits. We hope the school will attend to this duty it. carefully as they can witfiout inter fering with other studies. It is a great mistake to speak of it as an unimportant exercise. Those who go to college will have reason to be gid that they had this practise imposed upon them at school. It will give them an ease of manner in mounlting the College rostrum which they would not otherwise posse.,. Those also who may go to the profession of law will find their school experi enee in declamation, if rightly cultivated, of great assistance. Indeed for every youth there is bene tit in this exercise. It storcs the mind with rich gems of composition, with noble thoughts nobly expressed, with specimens of humor, wit and eloquence, in prose and in verse, upon which the future man will draw largely and to good purpose. Remember that ideas, and words, and phrases, mastered at this early period of life are ten times as indelible as when acquired in manhood. 0 1 i Horse Flesh. Our people of Edgefield always took pride in keerping fine horses, and were always remarkable for aiding them well. But nevur did this upirit rise so high or extend so widely as at present. There are said to be some sixty stallions at this time in the district, all of them profitable to their owners. Many of these are horses of good blood, -soie of them particularly well bred. Among these list we notice two with especial pleasure. 1. Dark ./acutheae, belonging to Major T. G. Bacos, is one of the must beautiful animals we hav~e ever seen. Ile conies up to the true ideal of a perfect horse. Of the most approved pedigree, he is the worthy sun of noble sires. The district is fortunate in possessing him. 2. Chollenjge, belonging to Messre. GOODB & BLAND, is a new-comer from the far-off State of Vermont. lie is one of the finest living scions of the celebrated Morgan stock. lie will indeed chal lenge comparison with the horso-flesh of the Union. His qualities are every way superior. le is gen tle, yet full of rpirit, fleet but as manageable in harness as the besit-broke family drudge. le has made the time of 2,40 with ease. lie it now near the full perfection of his powers, being about five years old. It requires no prophet to predict that this elegant horse will vastly improve our stock in Edgefiold. See what they say of him where be came from. We quote from the Vermont Patriot. s:nt1oST STOCK ron T Sorvi.-Mr. S. F. Goode, of Edgefield, South Carolina, has purchased of D. C. Lindsley, Es., editor of the Amnerican StockI Jrnl 'thie well known four year olid her.-e -Challenige." Trhe Juead well says: "Mr. Goode has suc ceeded in getting one of' the finest horses of his age. in this State. andi we have iio dout will find his punrchaise aidvantageous, tbut our stock growers mnu.t bieware of yieldinig tiio reaidily to the tempt ing iaffers of~ enterprisinig breeders from abiroad fur our choicest animials." Furman's Poems. The author has uthorded us the pileasuro of read ing his volume of Poems lately pubflshed. We re gard the book a valuable addition to the poetry of the South. The tribute to Joux' C. Cas.worx' is a nohle ode. " The Pleasures of Piety," which is the main poecm of the collection, will command the admiration of the most fastidious, and cannot fail to be a source of true enjoyment to every Christianmind. In another number, we hope to review this wiirk briefly and to piresenit our readers with anyn beaiutiful extracts. + 'The Carpet Hlouse. J. G.

To the inquiry of " A Rxtnca" about the boun dary line between Georgia and South Carolina, we reply : That it is now conceded by all reastonable men, in both States, to consist in a line running up the middle of the stream of the Savannah river, or, in legal parlance, pursuing the flante aquap, leaving the islands on the Georgia side; and wherevor theso islands occur, the line follows the thread of the stream between the island and the South Carolina bank. This is without doubt the proper construction of the Treaty of Beaufort. Gatherings. .p The Frnner : Planter for April, has been received. It is published by Mr. R. M. STOKES, Culuubias, S.

Were I a Methodist (which [may be for all your readers know) I shouldl cer tainly have his Works coamplete. I can tell you this much, Ihlave his sermons anal Isnam pleased to find every potsition of "aCRAHITY" sustained by hinm. Alats! if the Chaurch of which he was a member, had had the magnanimity to have frater nized with the hosts of learned and pious minis ters whunm he, under Gaod, has raised up, and wiho are now lesadinag on the shouting hosts to the very verge, and even beyond it, of civilization, how much richaer would have been the revenue of Praise to our great Rtedeenmer ? 'a O! wad the Power somee giftie gie us," &e., kc., In our last we shaowedl the position we must sus tain to other dlenolinations in our midst in order that we should no rie on a persecuting platform. Dial itasmo ever persecute till se claimed inafali hiity ? ~idl amy fastheras leave thecir romoantic homanes in the vallies of Pido'a-nt till Romaae saidr I KNUW thecy nire wronag? It was thena that ahe uipplied the ms axiam " na ea las a right in ala wroang." It was tena, to uase the figure oft "Plusr.susrvussas," thse histrian saw " the swurdl stealthily glidling fromt its scabbasrdl" for thme work of blaod anid plersueu tian. Andl if Itsomo or any othser see-t shall claim ta~aoa,-n thait ansother sne.t is wrong, she is bonda to 'at the Bigot-proscribe if slae ennnot burn-de nounce if ahe c~ant e-nnfsente.--ad banish fromas her cosmmaunion table, paulpit, and fellowshaip if the law af the lamda holds her from kindling the tires of thme "u de~afe." Now, Mr. Elitair, see horw stealthsily the sword is glidling froms its secabbardl in thse hand of " Psas snem~o4," in his attack on~ yoau, for fear that yout will give "naial anal comnfort" tos thouse who may have iore thsan "one Lird,. one faith, uaae laaptismu." I confess that his s wordl will nsot touch me, h~ecause I believe in one Lord viz: The Creator, the Preserver, the Itedeemner, the oane Lord ;-one Faith, viz: One means of unsion with Him--a humble and affec tionate reliance on the Merits of Christ's Death and Attonoment for pardon andl sanctification ;-one Baptism which i the great Baptism spoken of by John, viz: the Baptism of the Hoaly Ghost where. by we are sealed In our souls to Christ and saneti. led to God. I think this is the Apostle's meaning, but If " Pas:.surmaos" kno,era I am wrong, I then might feel his sword ;-he wasuld dis felluwship me--bound to do it if he k-na ;lbut if he only tlilukeu, then we will still haive charity and peace: and we will still have fellowship miruidst our inaftmaities; anal although each of us be decided in osur belief, yet we will look for the timne as brethren In the fellow ship of the love of Jesus whean we shall "know even as we are known." These beiug in the main the principles set forth in your articeo ont 'aChristian Magnanimity" I ask, witha wonder, Where is thse Jesuitism with which he charges you ? My friend Six xiNs, give ins your hand again, because you are not on the same platform with Jesuits. You, sir, cannot lper secute. You do not occupy the pocition. But how is it with " PRxEntUTEos ?" You sir are "NOT GUILTY" of the "antI-christian bigotry" with which he charges you ;-you oceupy the ground given you by Chsrity and by the Constitution of the United States. As to " Parssneranos" I am astonished to think of the spirit hea cultivates. 'a Tantinme irse in celestibus animis." This you know is Hebrew, and meani nothing better than CHARtITY. BAraoon, April 8.--The four convicts under sentence of death in this city were exc ecuted to-day at eleven o'clock, A. M., in the jl yard.

Scathing Rebuke. In the debate upon the Cuba questi.n, Mr. a Sewarp characterized it as " the miserable, 6 pitiful; false, fabulous pretended issue which f, the rqsident of the United States has forced E upo s." M Toombs replied to the scurrilous assault asf ows: t' the Senator from New York is ex tre valorous. I tell him that he has one valor that I never want to have. I never cx pect to stand in this body and say the gentle mia ceupying the Chief Magistracy of this con] has uttered sentiments false, fabulous, and retended. This charge is brought agast the President of the United States. For orty years he has served his country. For forty years he has had the confidence of one of the largest States in this Commonwealth. For forty years he has held the rela-ions of a gentleunan here. For forty years he has been ready to defend his personal honor as a gen tle , wherever it was assailed. le has hel imself responsible everywhere, in thii bod nd elsewhere, to maintain his personal honor wherever it was assailed ; and is it courageous in a gentleman who is not ready to defend his honor anywhere," to assail the Chief Afagistrate of the country with language that he dare not apply to a gentleman in u position to make him responsible; that le i dare not apply to me. That is the point. t Sir,'I call the attention of the country to it. t I say his position forbids the Presilfeiit from repl'-ing to it. His position as President and Chid1Magistrate of this country throws him out of the way of that defence of his personal honor which becomes every gentleman here. Even if I believed it, as a ian of honor, with reference to his position as Chief Magistrate of m ountry, I think no Senator should use suchl iguage. It is unbee.ming the Senate. I sa' it is ths language which no Senator res ponble for what he says, would utter. WVh'st but few men, connected as I am, even no ally if you please, with the Democrutic party,'find fewer causes-of agreement than 1 do with the Chief Magistrate; yet I feel it my duty to repel this charge. Sir, I repel it as an American Senator. I say it is a slander; and that he has uttered in the Senate what he cannot maintain as a gentleman. Arrest of Incendiaries. Shortly after the conflagration of the machine shop and will of Messrs. Gower, Cox, Markley & Co., near the depot, and the sub sequent burning of the stable of Mr. W. H. Watson, immediately in the rear of the ear riage shops of the firm, on this side of the river, a man by the inme of James S. Parker, formerly an employee of the establishment for a shiort time, upJon whom certain circumistances. of a strongly suspicionis character were attach edl, was arrested and confined in jail on the charge of havinig caused thie. first conflagra tion. During the past week he has masde a Iconfession, in which lhe implicates George J. Oberle as tl;e ring-leader, and a .shoe-mnaker by the name of A ugust Weisser, as an accoi plice with himiielf in the nefarious transaction. iiis confession is strongly corroborated by circumstances developed on the morning after the recent unsut eeful attempt on the car riage shops, in which the watchman was fired< upon by one of the party. All of these men are. now confined in our jail to await their trial. -Weisser has also made a coiifession . since his. imnprisonnment, in which he states thiEObtale aiid h. wergthe parties concerned in the last at tempt alluded to. Seldom has a case of crime occurred in which convicting fact., have been so plainly developed as in this, andi we must here acknowledge that much praise is due to Messrs.
