Gen. Bonham's Speech. On last Monday, according to previous ap pointinent, Gen. Bunham addressed a very respeetable number of his constituents of this District, met together to hear him in Garlington's H1all. Tke General made an able Und impressive speech of about an hours' length, and all his views being concurrent with the general sentiments of our citizens, his remark.; were well received. We will not attempt a report of the speech, although it would have pleased us to have been able to lay the whole of the well-timed remarks of our Representative before our readers, but will only mention some of the heads upon which he touched. He said that the South was in great dan ger, greater perhaps than ever before, that he was not foreboding breakers ahead with out reason, and showed upon what he based his opinion. The passage of the Agricultural College Bill was as great a swindle as was ever attempted upon the South, and we were' otily saved from Its direful effects by the veto of tWe President. This bill was pas-ed, too, by a Democratic Congress I so we had little to hope from that party. The vote upon the Homestead Bill, which was only lost in the Senate by the deciding vote of Vice President Breckenrid-ge, and which was a measure of the same stamp, inimical and hostile to the rights of the South, had a portentous meaning, which in no wise could we interpert favorably to our selves. The agitation of the Pacific Railroad Bill, which was but another measure to defraud us by squandering the public montey, and thus open the way for a higher tariff, the greater portion of' which will fall upon us, indicates that we have little to hope, upon sue:i a measure as this, of the unshaken union of' a national democratic party, standing on the Constitution as its platform. With Dou glass and his squatter sovereignty doctrines which are so nrjus't to the interests of the South, we should have nothing to do. We should support no man with Douglas princi ple', that would exchilde Southern citizens and their property from tho territories. As to our hope in the next Presidential election, he had none. We will have neither Douglas or Seward, or any of their stamp, so we may expect that the Democrats at the Nqrth will break off from us. Let them go. *1Ve feel able to protect ourselves, and will sacrifice them for our interests and honor. There is a calm before a storm, but the low, muttering thunders can now occasionally be heard by a close observer. And when the worst comies, shall South Carolina be overrun, and trodden down in the struggle ? If she prove recreant to her high trust-to the sa cred privileges which have been handed down to her-If she fail to preserve her honor and hcr righats, tie boary heads of our indignant forefathers will rise from their feverish graves to reproach her degenerate sons. Should the next Presidential election leave us only the choice of the two, our hope lies in a Southern Confederacy ; for the South, South Carolina will not allow herself to be insulted, her interests sacrified, her rights disregarded, nor her honor stained, in a na tional unmon. He fras proud to say he could speak for the chivalric " Old-Ninety-Six Dis trict," the deeds of whose great sons have a place on every page of our history, that she, for one, would not. The hearty cheers whichgreeted the speak er at the close and several stages of his re marks, gave note of their being appreciated, and of ther coincidence with the feelings of thone whom he was addressing. The Suspension ofJohn Fraser & Co. The financial editor of the New York Jounal of C'onunemc says, in reference to the recent suspension: We regret to learn that the large and very respectable house of John Fraser & Co.. of Charleston known here as Tirenhoh~a, Bros., & Co., ad in Live roo as } raser, Trenuholm & Co., has been oblge to ?uspend payment. This announcement took iaost of our merchants and bankers here by .surpise, anid indeed, was unexpected, as we M-trn, by the partners resident in this city. Trho house was reported to possess a capital of two or three millions, and it may be that their presenat embarrassment wilIbe only tem porary. The business was chiefly the grantinig of advances on southern purchases and ship. toents of' cotton, the money there being raised by sixty day drafts on the firm here, and thes.e again covered bydrafts on Liverpool, for the paym~ent of which the cotton sent forward oudamply suffice. As long as there was no difficulty in negotiating. bills this arran e meswas a good one, andthbuieset mate. 'ecnytedifficult in teway c negotiating commerucial bill of Exchange, has checked the cash resources of the house. The cotton on which their own advances had been made, was mostly afloat on its way to Liverpool, and the hills of ladin beyond recall, so that it was difficult to plege any thing for assistance except the credit of the firm. The inmmediate protests will be, as we suippose, chiefly in bills negotiated at the &mth on the New York firm, and some time tnust elapse before there can be aniy return of ladls from the other side, even if the diffienly abould finally extend so far in that direction. T[he foreign bills are chiefly in the hands of the strongest bankers h~ere and ini Boston, and tha domestic bills are mostly held by soothern banks. dinee writing the above we learn that a dis pasch has been received froin Charleston stating that the banks there had areed to protect seventy thousand dollars of th accep tances of the firm until November, and we have no doubt that the purchasers of the sterling bills will also grant a like extension If it is needd,so that the business of the honse will prbably be resumed again ; we can hard ly thunk that any lces can occur to any of the creditors. The following, which we copy from the Charleston Eveinmg News of the 9th, will be r-d with satisfaction : "ScsPEuso-The following appears in puapers North of us: "tGSA ue6 Eustoan SuswEszoN.-lt is confidently stated 'ie that the house of' John Fraser & Co., at Chareston, suspended on Saturday last, in consequene-Of the difficulty of nego tiating sterling exchange.

The " Wt;l;.vx1on Vpr;8ng Hutrl" is one of the I largest and best in our State out of Charleston, and there is every reason to think that it will be kept this season in a style even superior to its con. duct in 1858.

Battle of AMoutebcllo. On the 20th of May, the Emsraale.mm belligerents net in the first battle of ti.e luame~nt war. Thme Austrianms were cownmmnded by Cot; . ttitoai and nubered 12,000 menu. Tihe Fruech anad P'iedwon ee were under the inmanediumte authority of Gen. Foar and probably numbered as many as the Austrians, although on this lioint the statements thus far differ very considerably. The .esne of the action was Mfntbello, quite a small village fifteen miles distant from the river Po. Tis spast has been before celebrated as the stage of several military actions. The present conflict appears to have been a fierce one, asnd of cunsidesrable dum a to. It is reported by time French (ienemal to have lasted six or .oveu hours. The re.ult was the retreat or the Austrian-, who L.owever (and which is signmifia-anz) were n.ot Ipursued! I.) the Al. is,-uaat even to theereyy,'o snly one mile distant fromn the battle-field.

Tiso Allies also sufered severely, numbaering inay of their gaJ at aufiers amnong the slain. The French and Austrians both profess tumir soti,factionm at, the re sut of this engagement,-the latter claiming to have labored under the disadveantage of inferior numbers, and yet to have held their ground brave. ly, retreating In order when comp~elled to do so. Of course this battle Is a sumali affair, when we onsider the homnesse armies In th.eield, of which these corps were little lmore than alraeed guards to the main bodies. Yet it cans bet Ihe regardled, we think, as onmisous of the triumpanut march of the French lilies tam further amnd greater achieve. menta. It Is not probable that Austria ean sue eesfully resist the arms of the Allies ; and in sup prt of this opinion three reflections suggest themn selves: (I) The injustice of Austria's cause. (2) The memory ef NAuobesx the Frimat, whether to inspire the French or to intimidate the Aestrians. (3) The prestige of a Crimean experience in the ranks of the French. p' Wi have been reguested by Col. 8hlAw to stat that the Orders for a Court Igarakal e;x.tended on Saturday last, at the Pins Uose, have been ladelitely postponed.

We iremd the liaece, that it may be the more ea..ily real : " The national dolt. of Eng;aaul began with the relinquishment of the ,ia lcustems or extorting trotn the people and substituting borrowing therefur, to moeet putoic ax-gncies. Charles 1. borrowed lurke ly fromi his piartisanaa; but all his debts were ex. tiuguished bay the Revolution. It was under his suns, Charles II. and James I[. that the founda tious of a leruaqent dobt were laid in England. Oi the accession of William IL the debt was 6604,263. During his reign, however, the system of credit was expanded throughout Europe. A large part of the annual expenditure of the gov. ernment was delrayed by borrowing money and pledging the State to pay annual interest upon it. At Wallinm's death, the debt wias ?15,730,439. Froma his the to the present, the process of bur. rowing has been continued in all exigencies, such as war, the large payment on account of Negro Emanoipation, &c. In period. of peace, and when the rate of interest has been low, the Our. ernment ha redeemed small portions of the debt, or It has lowered the annual *harge by reducing, with the consent of the holders, the rate of in. terest. "The debt, then, consists of several species of loans or funds, with different denominations, which have been, in process of time, variously mixed and mingled, iuch as Consuls, i. a., several differ. out loans consolidated Into one stock, 3 per cents leduced Console, New 3 per Cents. &e.

In the peace which ensued from 1784 to 1793, ten and a half millions were paid. Then came the great moral end political revolution of Europe, in the course of which, England aided with despotism. She fomented quarrels, caused coalition after coa lition to be formed, spent money freely to uphold every absolutist, subsidised every despot and was the persistent enemy of the people. During this insane career she contracted an increase of debt exceeding Ja.J,,Andr&u nillina, terling, so that, at the close of the war and when the English and Irish Exchequers were cunsollilated, the total fundedl and unfuaded debt, in 1817, was ?840, 850,491 and the annual charge upon It was ?32, 015.941. 1 From that time to 1854 there was a continual reduction of debt.

Wine and Wine Tasting. There is perhaps no single commodity in whiel Americans are so commonly and so hugely deluded as In the article of wine. This truth is becoming apparent from the researcher of chemical me which have recently been called into active exer cise by reason of the excessive adulteration o liquors. Of Port, Sherry and Madeira, it may bi said that the great bulk sold In this country, and that too by the most respectable and extensivi houses, is simply not isine in aly sense. It is I mixture of rider, cockroaches, doctored whiskey with sometimes a contribution of brandy or othe diluted alcobolie stimulants. So (as a conse quence) in wine-tasting, are our best and moi cultivated bibbers often u-regiously wide of thq mark. How ean it be otherwise,. where the) hardly ever hare an oppo-tunity of testing thq true article ? How can they judge of Madeira fo inutance, whon perhaps they have never had thei palates grati lied with the Simon pure I And thia this is so, sufficiently appears from the fact tha 50,00 barrels of pure Madeira are claimed to drank in America alone, when it Is matter e statistical truth that only a little more than hal that amount is prodluced in Madeirafosr the who! I crld,-of which ammunt Kings and Kings' pa1 aces, Lords, Dukes, Duchesses, and their princel: establishments, must be conceded to absorb by fa the greater portion. See what Preuidlent Nutt, of New York, says o1 this subject, and let,us forerer hereafter hold on peace in this matter of wine-tasting: The last cask of wine I purchased, and whiel was tested by somo of the best judges in the coun try, was pronounced to be good seine. I after wards dlis'ctvered that it was made in the loft of decaler, andi did not contain a drop of the fruit e the vine, but was adae from doctored whisky and admitted afterwards to be so by the maker. An individual asseured me that while acting a an a,.sistant in this wine brewinzw-eatabltishmed . i..4.d-.A......syownU-a hundred dollats mard in a single cask of this fabrication. The late Do Witt Clinton was a vecry moderat drinker, bit had the reputation of being a ver; nice taster i the Inst dinnet party I gave -witl wine, I offered my gttests a liquor called wine drawn from the cask above mentioned. Mi Clint'on was seated next tto me; he was muel taken with this wine, andi after tantting all th varieties, stid to mie. " If you continue to drini wine, let ame advise you to drink this kind (ptoin ting to the b~ottle containing the fabritcated article ; you will find it less injumritmus than old and higi priced." The late Chancelior Jones, who was als considered an excellent judge of wine, was a takon with the samc liquor, that he requested mn to order a pipe of~ it for hitu, which I diti. Let no tune rest satisfied that he is drinking pure article. either tof wine. h,er, or urdleut spiriti until he has called in the cheuhist to decide th question. Trial of Surgeon B. M. Byrne.

M. the following Preamble and V Resolutions were adopted. Again has unpitying death, with Its remorseless scythe, entered our sanctuary and claimed for its 1 victim the head of our Lodge, taking from our midst a good man and a true Mason, upon whose %row age had not yet stamped his furrowed seal. Could the hand of brotherly regard and friendship have resened him from the unrelenting tyrant, * 'GEORGE C. CUNNINGHAM would not now be ' absent from his place In the East. Upright in .his deportment, and devoted to his masonic duties, he set a bright example while living for us to fJ low. Now the angel of death, by the Inscrutable 4 dispensation of Almighty God has taken him to i the Grand Lodge on high. Paticut and resigned, f runder a consciousness of his approaching end, C rwhile he was cheered and sustained to the last C moment by the promiises of Him that died for all, he bore with manly fortitude the pangs of disso-. lation. 1st fleenired, That as' a moan and a mason' our departed brother CUNNINGHAM held a high i tplace In our affections as well as in our Lodge, b Ieing at the time of his death our Worshipful Master. 2nad Resired, That as this is the first time our ~Lodge has been called on to mourn the death of their first offier, that a blank leaf be left by the Secretary in his book of records, vhereupon the a name of GEORGE .C. CUNNINGHAM shall be lI inscribed, with the date of his death and his off- r ial relation to the Lodge; that the members ear the usual badge of mourning, and the jewels draped in the sae badge for three months. .3rdI Rejoiced That the heartfelt sympathies or (Ithe members the L..A.- L..-4ndered to the bereaved widow and the relations of our deceased brother.( 4rk Reanired, That a copy of these Resolutions be furnisheil to thu widow, and that they be pub-t liehed in the Edgefield Advertiser, and enteredi on the minutes of the Lodge.

Land and negroes valued by appraisers uder oath, are usually placed at the lowest iarket rates-we mtay, therefore, regard the state as being worth one million of dollars. ~he plantations in Dougherty county were alued attwenty-five dollars per acre-all ther plantations at twenty dollars per acre. )ut of five hundred and thirty negroes, three undred and sixty-four were on plantations in bis county.
