Dr. Woodfin also introduced the following resolutions, which were adopted : Resolred, 1.

Jarrett offered the following resolutions, which were adopted : Resolved, That any statement to the effect that any part of the subscription made by the stockholders rep~resented in this meeting, is bogus stock, is without foundation in fact, and utterly false. Resolved, That any statement which inti mates that the friends of the Blue Ridge Rail road in North Carolina aire opposed to county subscriptions, deserves only the execrations of all honest men.

The meeting then adjourned. JESSE R. SILER, Chairman. Wx. H. PERONNE.W, Secretary. The Moral Effect of Italian Moderation. We toiay the follojwing . an the London, corres pondence of thu .&dio.tal Jntelligencer. It vividly de picts was~ Italy is gaining by as sumning a mo~derate b'ut finn attitude. Would such be the sympathy of the world in her be half, if she riuted-in the ultra and tumulhuous orgies of fanaticism and Red Republicanism, through which Mazzini would lead her ? " We rejoice in the reassuring attitude of Italy. Jt presents to us an unexpected and a touching spectacle. Italy was roused from sleep ras it were by the war cry of Piedmont. Young men every where left the college, and bar, the desk, the shop, and the field, to swell the ranks of heroes, nor were the middle-aged nor even old mecn unsmitten by the general enthusiasm. And what is the attitude of Italy at this period of angered and anguished feel ing ? Does she show herself to be that " land of assassins" which the Imperialists at Vienna andl the Priests at Rome and every where else would have us believe her to be ? Most as-i suredly not. IIer attitude and her entirei bearing and enrriage nre grand, and truly dignified and noble. .Deserted by her friends, sihe takes refuge in herself. Calmuly collecting her remaining forces, sihe awaits the decrees of Europe on her fate. We hear of no Ma zinian conspiracies, of neither tumult, robbery, nor riot. Could Jtaly do more ? rTe moral I effect of this moderation will not be lost. The indepenidence of Italy has become a question of prime European importance, and can never I again sink into even a secondary place. The a spirit of the Italian people has been stirred, and they have learned in this brief camnpaign what may be done by united, well or-ganized, and resolute effort." LAia.-The Tarboro' Southerner says, " we learn that a few days since Dempsy D. Bryan sold his plantation, near 1). Hinton's contain ing about 200 acres, for $20 per acre." - e * The Charlotte Democrat says W. R. Myers, Esq., sold ten acres of land last week, in the *neighborhood of Dr. Taylor's tan-yard (near Charlotte, we presume,) for $100 per acre. Ten years ago the same land changed hands C at $5 pe-: acre. We think it more than probable that the e landa in this State have doubled in value since a .1848. .This great increase in price,- and the , prosperty wiich pervades all departmeits of *miness iu.liis State, especially that of farm ing, are largely doe to internal improvements. 'The high price of cotton for several years I peast, has had, of course, nO small tendency to it: yut it must be recollected that.everything else ias advanced in proportion to the advance in :otton, and that, without railroads, our farmers Lnd business men would not be able to-reach he markets of the world with their produce.

C.) Standard. ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1859. Religious. The Edgefield Baptist Association will hold its next annual meeting with the Mt. Taber Church, commenciag on Saturday next. The Methodist Camp Meeting at Mt. Vernon commences on Thursday evening next. The Female Institute. This Academy for young Ladies, it will be seen, re-opens on Monday the 19th instant. Attention is asked to the advertisement. Pupils will enjoy great advantage in taking the session at the cOn mencement. Musical. Mr. MCCARTHY'S concert to night (Tuesday night) will be a pleasant entertainucut, we doubt not. le and Mr. IlTar have prepared some mag nificent pieces. The taste and skill of Mr. Mc CArnY deserves a good house wherever he goes, independent of the fat that those who patronize him will be doing a good and charitable action. The Star Ilouse. This is the Hamburg Hotel,-in fact the only Hotel now kept in Hamburg. And we are able to say thatit is worthy the name of "The Star House," -not alone because it is kept by that most capa ble landlady, Mrs. S-rAn, but also beauso it has new and bright arrangements in all its depart ments. The whole Hotel has been renewed and re modelled from basement to garret, and is now ready for the public. The peeple will find every thing right for their accommodation, and may look forward to a series of treats as they visit the mar ket in selling their cotton and other produce. We predict that the Star House will have a tremendous run. Revival. We are gratified to learn that the Baptist Church at Mt. Lebanon, some nine miles north of Ham burg, has just closed a most interesting meeting of sixteen days duration. About thirty persons were converted, most of whom will be baptised in a short time. Rev's. J. L. Bnoors, S. P. Gm ,-W. L. C u nY, J. S. MATHEWS, and Dr. Wu. Jouxsox were the Ministers in attendance. The Solomons of Hamburg. Read the new advertisement of the Messrs. Sol omon in this issue. They are now receiving a large ard splendid isstrtment of goods in their line-such a stock as has not been known in IHam burg for lo! these many years. We hope the en orgy and enterprise of these intelligent young merchants will meet with abundant success. The Literary Club. The Edgefield Literary Club will have its first meting o.n Saturday evening the 17th of Septem ber, instead of the 10th. Addresses will be expected from W. W. ADxt Pres, and from JosEt'u ABsx:Y and En.sxus H. oUGBLooD Esqrs. The Public generally, Ladies and Gentlemen, and the Ministers of the Gospel, Teachers and pu pils are respectfully invited to give their atten dnce. It would be gratifying to t~he Chib 'o sig a large tuarn out of the people to give encourage mnt to their enterprise. Hon. W. WV. Boyce. This gentlemia has .delivered a trililng and charateristic speech to th6 people of York. Its hief scope is " moderation the true policy ol' he South." The Charleston Xefreiry, in condemning portions of this speechsanys: Yet ".he is not num. bered with the Edgeflold Adrerier, anid those who glory in our prosent- poisition." No,,perhaps not; Mr. Boyez sees the future draped in more gloomy hangings than some of the rest of us. Still, his counsels for the day are identical with ours; and upon the Territorial queetion we exactly eon cur,-especially as to the pratical! importance of that qluestiont. We hope to publish Mr. Bores's speech next week. Maj. Bacon and the Blue Ridge Rtoad. Among the nanny responses to the Committee of Invitation to attend the muas meeting and barba one at Tunnel Hill, Aug. 19th., w~e observe the following from Maj. BAco;r which shows that the Major is high up for the Blue Ridge Rail Road enterprise : GeilecuN :-I regret exceedingly that unfore seen occurrences prevent me from attendiug the barbacue at Tunnel Hill on the lIJth instant. I fully expected to be present. You have my best wishes for the success of the Ruad. I anm truly sorry a-portion of our delegation voted against your request at the last session of our Legislature. While r do not impugn their motives in so doing. [ trust. their minds will have undergone a change y the next ses.in, at least before 1860. This letter will reach you too late to expre~s may senti tents upon the occnsion ; yet you have them as fully as if then expressed. Very respectfully, yours, &c. T HOS. G. BA CON.

Whatever may have been tho uncertainty here tofore as to the precise extent of. Senator Do.uo LAS's views of popular sovereignty, the.matter is now set at rest by the publication of an elaborate paper from the pon and under the name of that gentleman. His position is distin'tly stated to be, that the people of tha Torritories uider a-Territo rial government hare the inalienable right to control their internal polity, slaviry included, as in their judgment they shnll deem expedient. The position is one to which the South will not accede. Neither is it to be expected that she will now ignore it in the coming Presidential canvass. The grounds set forth by Mr. DoLaLAs are- teO sweeping in their extent and too conspicuous in their promulgation, to allow the politicians of our section to dodge them. io tako it for granted therefore, that they'will make common fight in tho matter, and that Mr. DouL.rwill stand-but little cilance for a nomination at'Charleston with their approval. At least, such seems to be the present tone of the public mind at the South so far as heard from; although it is also true that the pub lie mind has not been very t'ully outspoken on the subject. In regard to the essay in Riuzu, we are free to say that it does honor both to the he.'L sI' the heart of its distinguishedl aulhor. It is a calm and dispassionate argunient based on rational premises, and carried to its height with consum mate ability. It panders as little to " phronzied fanaticism" as it does to " sectional aggrandise ment," and goes strait forward to its points with the steadiness of an honest conviction. We all of eaurse dissent from the conclusions thus arrived at by this statesman of the North West; yet riono will deny to his argument the merit of ability None will deny that he makes out a most plausible defense of the Constitutionality of his doctrine. None, surely, will now ro recklessly hurl at his head the epithets of treason and selfish ambition, seeing. that ho has announced the grounds of his belief like a freeman and a patriot, and has thus risked an opposition that will in all probability defeat his aspirations toward 'he Presidewicy. For one, we adopt a higher estimate of the fairness and independence of Senator DouaLAs than 'we have ever before entertained. As he has set him self aside in the canvass by his own act, it be. comes the Democracy to deliberate calmly before concentrating on their standard-bearer. Wo trust at least that there will be no more wrangling about the matter, especially at the South. To this end, let us advise with one another cautiously, and, if possible, present an undivided front in the Convention. The Southern Guardian. In the Guardian of a late date we.observe the following: "In consequence of the ill health and unavoid able and frequent absence of the proprietor from Columbia, he is induced to offer for sale a half in terest in the establishment of the Southern Guar dian.

Extraordinary Elopement-.A ?tew Jer sey Editor Running Away with his Wife's Sister. Considerable excitement has been occa sioned recently in a qInet town oi. the line of the New Jersey Railroad, by thc elopement of the editor of one of the village papers with the sister of his wife. The circunm stances of the case, though not misterious, are remarkably singular, and afford a striking illustration of the frailly of our human na ure. M'r. Y., the editor in question, is a gentleman some 35 years of age, enjoying a good position in society, and for the last ten' or twelve years has be'en a mtemnber in high standing of a Christian Church. In his family relations he has been, it is believed, more thani usually ha~ppy. In ldis children, two in number, he has al ways manifested the greatest paride and de light, and we, who have seen him in'his homec, old never have supposedl that any infatua tiona wh~atevercouldiunduce him to abandona the cofort< and e'nj'oymtei.ts of the' ho'usehold cirle. In his bumsinevss .'r. V. has beeni sue yessul, anid it is not known that any .emar rasment mnenr-ced himi therein. Thbe lady who accompanies hinm in hi< guil ty flight is probably t wenty-one or swenty two yer fage, :n'd is, as stated, a sister of is wire. She ion.e~es the charm of beautyI md has movedl mi highly respectable eircles, her family being one of the best in t lie conn ty where they reside'. l'ntil recently, it was never suispeted that any -imtprolpera intimacy .xited betweenm the two, andi, indeed, itila believed that the whole affairwas of suden grQwh. So~me dayrs betfare the 'elopeient Mr. V. made sundry pnrn~hase4 of .Jewelry, &-e., which, it is believed. he presented to the bject of his criminal affetion-the articles eing obtained.on credit. The first positive information the friends eeivedl of the elopement, came in the shape f a 1ntter from the fugitives announcing their flight and that it would he useless to pursue them, as when the h-tter reached its destina Iion they would haxve' left for (Califo~rnia. rhe husb~and left. a letter for his wife statinig hait sufficienat mnoney haid been left b~ehin~d to maintain her for a time anad adding that ifI xuccessful i:m thme Gold State he would renmit. o her from time to time snch mieans-assh night neced.

It was .rumored in Paris. that Marshals Canrobert and Neil had fought a duel, and that the fitter was killed. The loss by the late fire in Liverpool in cotton and grain, was thirty thousand pounds, steiling which was nosfly covered by insu rance. The builder's strike in London con tinued. - Napoleon had ordered two steamers to Al .geria and .Guiana, to bring the political exiles recently pardoned by the Emperor's general amnesty. The- projected fortifications at Autwerp were exciting some uneasined in Paris. The iMunicipality of Paima had issued a proclaination, expressing the unanimous de sire for Parini as Dictator. The population evinced great enthusiasm. The Government had purchased four thousand rifles, and invi ted into its service the'disbanded corps of ri flemen of the Alps. It was reported from Vienna that the Em peror of Austria was becoming impatient at the delay in restoring the grand Dukes; also, that the Austrian corp* d'armee was to be concentrated near Rovico, on the road to Modena. A decree has been issued at Bologna, de claring all the citizens of the Romagna, with out distinction of religion, equal in law, and in the exercise of their political rights. A Fatal Rencontre. GEORGETOWN, S. C. September 1, 1859. A very sad affair has just occurred here, in an affray between Richard D. Evans and Leounard Dozier, Jr. The latter drew a re volver and fired five shots at the former, two of which entered the middle of his breast and one going through his beart. Evans died within five minutes. Two weeks ago an assault was made by Dozier upon Evans, which laid him up for several days, and this was the first opportuni ty Evans had to attack Dozier, which he did with a stick, which affair has terminated so fatally. Dozier had his head laid open by Evans.-Correspondence Char. Courier. A most singular accident and deliverance occurred at the residence of Mr. Jas. G.'Kirby, near Buzzard Roust, on the 16th ultimo. A valuable boy was sent down in his well to re move sand that washed to the bottom, and after sending up one buckei-full he saw signs of the curbing giving way atthe bottom, and urged haste. The bucket' was again lowered rapidly, but had scarcely got within reach <-1 the boy, when it was arrested hard and fast by a superincumbent mass of thirty f, et of rock, and the boy below the whole. Concluding that the boy was dead, and the requisite as. sistance not being at hand, a delay of about two hours ensued before an effort was made for his release. Some three hours work brought the boy's head in view, though, having exhausted the oxygen, he experienced sufor. cation, and would have died in a short time, from a description-of his sensations after re lease. it is singular that a man could be thus wedged in, from head to heel, by a compact mass of rock, and yet survive at the end of five hburs. It. appears that an incompetent well-digger did the walling, and in a slovenly and insecure manner; and persons having work done by hin should be careful how they send their negros ito his.vrells.-Spurtan. To us Huso.-Jefferson, the negro of whom we spoke in our last as having committed an assault, with a knife, upon the person of Mr. Henry Hartzog and his daughter, on the mor ning of the 6th inst., was tried, on Saturday last, found guilty anid sentenced to be hung on the first Friday in October next, at the ~cross -roads, near .Bodiford's old store.--Barn well Sentinel. - Bars TAKIN -ro A COTTON WAaoUs. Under the head of "natural curiosity," the Mobile Advertis'er tells the following: Some time last fall, a swarm of bees "swarmed" in an open place under the roof of Marston's cottojn warehouse, and there commenced'the work of' forming a comb. They have kept busily at work ever since, and. no one interfering with their labors, havie at last formed a huge honey comb pro jecting down'nearly a foot below the eaves of the building. The busy little bees now com-~ pletely cover their comb, and being protected from interruption by the propfietor, continue to work oni regardless of' -the din' and confu sion around them.- What of that?7 some may say, but we reply-who ever before saw bees at work upon a well illed comb in the open air1 A Sxa1s A~wxu -ruF: PoL'raiy.-A cor rspondeni, of the F.redericksbuirg 1Herald, writing from Madison county, Va., mentions the following as "a fact." which occurred there recently. It is one of those' "facts" which are stronger and harder to believe than moderate fiction: -A Indy hearing an alarm in her hen house proceeded to ascertain the cause, and found a very large black snake. She sent immuedi ately'for her husband, who shot its head off.~ and upon examnination found it contained three eggs, seven chickens, and had swallowed a en as far a-i the winigs. A few days after another was killed in the same place, and its body. contained fifteen eggs. T1oDM umsAi....-.Commiodo re Clhas.
