Our old neighbor and friend, Capt. Taos. Dz LoAci has left in our office quite a curiosity in the way of a cotton boll to which we invite the attention of those wishing to witness one of na tare's singular freaks. -4-* House Burned. The dwelling house of Mr. ReOUaR J. BUTLMn. near Hamburg, was burned to the ground on Mon .day last. The fire is supposed to have originated from a spark falling on the roof. We are glad to learn that the furniture was nearly all saved. Mr. Miller Improving. Mr. Wx. Mrsr.LR, marshal of Hamburg, who was so seriously injured in the discharge of his official dutieq on Sunday the 25th ultimo, is im proving, and will, it is hoped, speedily recs,yer trom his wonnds. The Charleston Courier. This valuable commercial and news journal has donned a most elegant and becoming garb. We welcome its new-clad advcnt with gladness. A paper which wo read generally from one end to the other, we liko tu see as fair and as beautiful as possible. Such is the Courier. and such is its progress in all manuer cf excellence. To the Ladies and the Gentlemen. Mr. J. H. JAxvrs, has just arrived from New York with a fine Stock of Jewelry of every dis cription, which he has opened for the inspection of the ladies and gentlemen of Edgeield at the Store Room on the corner immediately below Mrs. McNs:.'s Milliner Store. Call in and see his beautiful assortment of jewelry. It is realy a luxury to be enabled to look at such an array of pretty things. Sale Day. A very large crowd of -citizens turned out on sale day. Some prr-perty was sold at fair prices. An ordinary negro man was sold at $U495,-- ne gro woman (not likely) with a young ch..a* irought $1500. No news of interest from the District at large. The health of the people continues unusu ally good. Court in Session. The Court of Common Pleas commenced its fall term for Edgefield on Monday last. Judge OLovEa is presiding. Col.

As the State Agricultural Fair will take place on the 8th of November next, the Edgefieldl Dis trict Fair will take place on Tuesday the 1st day of November, instead of the Sth as heretoforo pub lished. Papers having published the previous no tice will please ehange the date. Where are they ? The mails are the subject of onr anxious enqui ry. The Newberry mail is missing. What has become of it? Can it beo that the Chess Club's next nmove was so laden with consequences as to bireak the poor horse's back ? Or have they for eibily delayed it, to pt-stpone the agony of defeat which begins to stare them in the face ? Certain it is, the mail for the week is missing. 'There again is the Calhoun's Mills mail,-no arrival last week. The last that was seen of the concern, the boy was walking with the mail bag on his back and leading his " creetur." Look to it, gentlemen-contractors.I Very Large. A1 beet from the garden of Mrs. M~ituA Rut ZaFoNtD, below Mr. Willing, is the largest we have ( seen this season. Weight, - i bs; Yariety, rcd turnip beet ; Quality, sounda and firm. New Advertisements. Please refer to the very attr; tive advertisemenits of our Augusta friends. We nteed not point to them separately. The people of this District know them all. We will only say, Augustat is one vf the very best retail markets, in aoy line of goods, that can lbe found in all thc length anud breadth of these United States ; and the best and moat accommiodatit; of her merchants and deal ers put their cards in our Edgefield paper. Ex amine them for yourselves. Their stocks for the in-coming season are said to be nhcad of an. thing heretofore exhibited in that c&ty, and we have no doubt but that the fact is so. W. II. Goodrich's Grocery Store. We take especial pleasure in calling attention to the double column advertisement of W. ii- 'soon' aRIc, dlealer in Groceries, &ce. This HIou-e ia representaI by Mr. Cuias. McL~uceu than, whomu, we venture to say, there is no> frirer dealer or wore accommodating merchant within the connines of the clever old city of August.a. One of our firm has traded with Mr. MAe to no inconsidearubb! extent the p. year ; and his highly d:Pteeng re port of the invariably large stoek and enooke Gro ceries to be had at this estabPharnent, andi the low figures at which they arc offered, iaducos us to solicit all of our citizens who trade in Augtista to give the Grocery House of W. H. GooraiccU a trial this season. Try friend McLara~, and you will find him keen for a trade with the best of Groceries and the cheapest of prices. "Notoriety; or the Edgefield Adver tiser." Our attention has been called to a communicated article in the Colleton Sun, nader the caption above quoted. The author writes cleverly, ard ought to be satisfied with his utter demolition of all onr greatness. We trust he will come to think a little better of us before he dies. A New Store. Messrs. J. R. MoSI.EY & Co. have purchased a fine stock of Dry Goods, et cetera, which they offer for sale at their store fifteen miles from this place and six miles this side of Mt Willing. To all who know the members of this Firm, ii is needless to say that whatever they tell you, may he implicitly relied upon. We advise all who can, to take ad vantage of the facilities they offer. No store was ever started in Edgefield under better anspices. Good customers and a plenty of them to the New Fimn! See advertisement on another column. pt Attention is directed to the advertisement of Messrs. R. A. Paixao~i A Co., of Charleston, dealers in Boots, Shoes, Brogans, &c. This is one of the largest Houses in this business in the City, and their prices and the A No. I quality of their Goods are said to give the fullest satisfaction. p - Nicuoaers DALYr, Augusta, Ga., with his large stock of Boots, Shoes, &c., has removed to the corner recendly occupied by Dawson & Skin ner. Remember that, and dont fail to drop in and look at Mr. Daly's stock when you are in An gusta. Ho sells astonishingly low. f& It Is reported that Dishep Onderdonk has been irestored to lisi official position, by the Pro.. Senator Chesnutss Position. It is not in our power this week to publish the late speech of SENATOR CREsNUT before his con stituents on the other side of the State. We may be permitted, nevertheless, to state its general scope, and to give a few extracts showing its prac tical conclusions. The speech as a whole is worthy of the honora ble Senator and of the position he ocoupies in our Congressional Councils. Its calmness and high tone arc admirable; and he covers the ground he proposes to discuss with decided ability. We are in no respect disappointed in the speech. It coin cides to all intents and purposes with the views expressed a year ago by Senator HAMoND in his Beech Island and Barnwell speeches ; nor does it differ on any essential point from the recently published views of Hon W. W. BorcE. The Senator first gives an interesting review of Southern policy in respect to the Union. He con clusively shows that from the incipiency of the government down to the present day, this policy has been fair, liberal and conservatire,-that the South has contributed largely over her proportion ate share to the strength and power of the govern ment,-and has made eareasion after concession for the peace and stability of the Union ;-In a word, that she has been true to the memories of the founders of the confederacy and faithful in all things to the obligations transmitted by them. The second division of the speech is devcted to a discussion of the great question between the sec tions, and the dangers of the approachi'ng "irre pressible conflict." The Senator then addresses himself to the ter ritorial questiAn with remarkable directness and perspicuity, showing the fallney of Judge Douo LAS' argument in several of its prominent features, and upsetting the theory of popular sovereignty in the territories as claimed by that statesman. These are the main topics discussed by Senator CREsNUr in a speech which must have occupied him more than an hour, and which, we doubt not, will be received as an argument with general ac ceptance throughout the State. But in times like these, the people wish to know precisely the extent of the practical advice dealt out to them by their leaders. Wo propose to make a few extracts from the speech, that the extent of Senator CussauT's counsels may be seen. His first practical suggestion is that of Southern union. A part of what he Pays on. this point is quoted in another article of our present issue; the reet runs thus: "-I am persuaded there are no fundamental differ eucc3 which ought to divide the slaveholding States. They have equal intelligence, patriotism and spirit. "Having common int'rests, they ought to have common purposes. i know they have been divided in some measure by recent issues in the demo cratic party. They ought to be especially wary at such a time how they allow themselves to be tempt ed, like boys, to display their agility by catching at every apple of discord which the adversary may throw among them. They should accept no issues which are cunningly devised only to distract. Of such a character in the pretended issue of a lave code by Congress for the territories. When id the South ever ask for such a code? We do ot want it. It is the last thing shat should be asked of Congress. If tendered, we would accept the gift of no Euch Trojan horse. The proposition to re-open the African slave trade has not yet attained strength enough to di ride the South. I regret, however. to see it intro inced. With great deference to the distinguished zentlumen who urge it, it seems to me as another Pandra's box, without even hope at the bottom. As mnensuro of public policy, it is altogsether im >ractiiable at this time. The State gave the pow. r to Congress to proshibit it; Congress has done ). Utilil the obligation is cancelled, South Car ina will not put in the plea of non lfuesitum to ier own boud. If urged as a political issue in he South, it will divide the State Rights party rom the Sabine to the Potomae,-from the Atlan ic to the Mississippi. It becomes ur wisdom. hereforo, in the present condition of affairs to let tsleep." Will you next ask, wh at says the Senator on the ourse to lbe adopted bsy the South in regard to the Presidential contest ? We answer with the follow. ng extract: "The present indications are, that the Sotuth is irding on its arm'r for te eg g y~i" "'t th ,an of battle; and that it intends to fight with a ugged energy that will allow no defeat. I trust t I sanction no other principles than those of he constitution, which are broad enough to em >race every true man in the republic; in fact, let he battle be for the constitution, and against the uetmies of the constitution, and not merely for the letion of a President. In my otpiiini the elec ion of a President will be of little or no avail, en ess it bring with it a sentiment that will replace he constitution firmly on its basis, and thus estab ish the equality of the States and the rights of oth sectioins alike-otherwise the battle will re ur with greater odds against us. In such a eon ot 1 will heartily join with those in whose fate I m bound, however little I may expect from the esult." If you say the Senator is not suiliciently expli it, we answer, this is all that he has thought pro er to announce. But from what is suaid, the in ercnce sppears fair that Senator Cnrasser would ave Sotuth Carolina go into the National Demto ratic Coniveintioni with the Southern States and ntend for a nr.minastion that shall cairry sound .nstitumi'.naal principles into power. It umay be hat the laitform of principles upon which the minee shitll -tand ought to be made to cover istinctly the rights of the South in the territories. ut perhaps we draw too far upon the Senator's .gcage on this point. Fur we observe that he sewhere see'na -o look to the Courts as our pri. nary safegt'ardl in the territories, and does not otmpate any kind of movement by the South r her Repre-scntativyes unlhess a " territorial hegis ature should undertake to limit the jurisdiction of ts Courts so as to exclude the rights of slavoown re." But take the Senator's words as they stand n reference to this matter; they are important: "I a ffirm tlisat the courts, territorial aind federal, n their proper order, will mul mnust take jutrisdic ion of all causes properly instituted, to determuine he rigbts of property, no matter whcthecr that prop rty be in slaves, clucks or oxen. An~d they will are jurisdiction under the constitution without tatute. Bunt, if a territorial legislature should un ertake to limit the jurisdiction of its coutrts, so a-~ Sexc-lude the rights of slave-owners, then I uan letake to sa that, having thus manifested as pur p-se to make war upoii prsoperty instead oif giving t prtcin it has ceased to perform the miain :lonetiur. of g.vernment, ansd iught to be abboliehed. -ne having a just conception of the obje-:ts oh ; einisacut, r;tn hesitate to say thast ny govrns nenil, of watever forsmn, n-herever existing, whieb .lierately, and,. as a system, usdku war sn the 1roperty sit her citizens, ought to lie abolished." 3May wec not .dduce froim this paiss.sgo the eoui elusion, that Senat'r Curasser sees no neeeisity for any present addition to the Cincinatti pinst form, being con'inced that the courts "ise Sldn wil" stanad'y ensr right.s, and if thsey are psreven ted, that then we will have a living isate to fight for, viz: the abolishment of the usurping tersitorial government. This is sound and sensible doctrine, ant. we- hospe we interpret the Senator correctly. -The only iothe'r practical point upon which Sen ator Cnrasser touchea, is the considher.stison, wrhat are we to dto if a Black ltel.uhle-n lhe els-etedl [resident? le first holds,. thait the deeliiratioan (y our Blaek E~epublican enenmies) sof their inten-. ion to urge the war of extermination upon1 " Quashio " ands his whole famnily dawm tso the tir ria c~mce is "puerile andc uaurd." Bunt still, stays he, "if this combination " (of the Faee State' aainst us) " is effected, we taust have this cosnflict which threatenis to be irrepressible indeed." The programme of the diouminaint Republicans is given; 1st. The remodelling of the Jtdiciary; 2nly, Thet abolition of slavery in the District of C,luimbia: 3rdly, The suppression of the slave tradle between the States, &c, &c., Then says the Senator: But at whose cost is this mischievous folly to be repeatedi That's for yosu to thinik of. Strange as all this may seaim. it is the utterance of am Senn-. tor of intellectual afhihjty, of gentle manners, lbut unflinching purposse-ohoe wis, wouldl be ats fit a successor to the distinguished nsenator~ from New York, as any in the republican ranks. If this party, chieftaineud as it ise, should be permittedl to holdi the reins of governmest, such will be "s the bill of fare " of that feast to which youa will he in vited. (Jo to it with what appetite you may, for myself I would nione of it. Whether or not this means that the South should move for disunionm on the election of a Black Re publican President, the rpider nmust determine for himself. We are somewhat ;t a, !sso, becanse the Senator had a little while before spoken as fo~leqs: " If this party be not overthrown by some signal an'd crushing blow, in a few years it will prsobably asorbi the entire politicail power of the freessoil States; and, by consequence, the' t ical power rf the Union. Whenever it can c-, .mantd the un divided patronlage and distribution of the public munaey, by seizing on the the Executive as well as n.e Legitate baah pfla the Gorarm s a fe Our Senators. Since the appearance of Senator Cuare s's speech, the minds of many South Carolinians have doubtless been led to look back to the spoken sen. timents of Senator HAMMOND, for the purpose of comparing the views of the two, and of ascertain. ing the difference, if any, between them. Those who have done so, will be surprised perhaps to And, that, as to any definite line of political ac tion, Senator HAxxown went quite as far a year ago as Senator CHESNUT did last week. Indeed, the only diference of any consequence between them, is to be found in this: that while the one looks confidently to the success of the South in the Union, the other sees a cheerless prospect and a dreary future. Both are equally loyal to the. best good of their section. Both urge the union of the South as essential to her success in or out of the Union. Both are alike sound on every prin. ciple connected with her rights. Both counsel caution, forbearance and moderation, as the true groundwork of her policy in the future. While neither one of them looks to any immediate issue I involving disunion; neither of them advises action of any sort on any existant wrong; neither of them is a disunionist per e ; neither of them fa vors the Slave Trade agitation, or any other fire brand of dissension; neither of them gives any counsel likely to interfere with the Integrity of the Democratic party in 1860; And neither of them sees any near necessity of a Southern Con federacy. Upon the two topics which fill out nearly the whole of Senator CEsNUT's speech-his history of the South and his argument on popular sov reignty,-Senator HAMMOND did not express him self at Barnwell. But he did in his speech in the Senate; and all remember his condensed and pow erful presentation of those points. Even in the difference between them which we have indicated, they both couple their convictions with the same declaration of undivided allegiance to the South. Senator HAMMOND said, even in the midst of his hopef I confidence: "But if the South determin -, and whenever*she determines, to throw off her Northern friends and dissolve this Union, I need hardly say that I shall, without hesitation, go with her fully and faithfully." Even under his strong belief that the great bulk of the Southern People did not seek disunion, he still announced the opinion that they would "promptly accept it as an alternative rather than submit to unconstitutional abridgemients of their rights." And did he not further say that "the dissolution of the Union is an alternative that we have always at command, and for which we should be ever ready ?" But, more than this, is it not I true that even upon the matter of a Black Repub lican Presidency, he is fully as definite and as determined in opinion as his junior colleague? Read the Senator's emphatic language In his Barn well speech: But if I am all wrong-if my facts and reasoning a are false, and my hopes delusive-if, in 1860, they w beat us-what then? These are questions that ol may well be asked. And the answer is obviouv. b We must be prepared; and the very efforts we must take to prevent such results will better pre. pare us than any course we can pursue that I can see. We must be prepared, I say, to take care of ourselves, whatever may come. It is clear that the slaveholding states of this confederacy, what.. ever hazards they may choose to incur by remain ing in alliance with a majority of uon-slaveholders . now so inflamed against them, must ever and at all times hold their destinies in their onn handr. gr They can never permit any foreign power to legislate in refereneo to their peculiar industrial ? iystem. whether to abolish orto modify, or impose )3i ndue burdens on it. Such legislation must bo ,o resisted with all our means, anrd without regarl to / ny consequences. If it should so happen that he free States of this Union, Iing now, and al. rays to be, in a majority, do establish a political ' inc between the two sections and the two sytens. - if labor, legislate upon it and maintain it. then hey will form a power as foireign to us as an' a: :ation in the world, and wve cannot submit to it. .ga We respectfully challenge those of our contem- te1 aorarics who hare condemned the views of Senator IAxxoND, but are now extolling those of Senator 'HESNYT, to' take the speeches of both, and make a urn', *'ttney do noit arise from the task convinced hat they have done a grievous wrong to one of he purest piatriots, most unbiased reasoners, and TI risest counsellors of our day and generation. th Cver have we been so thoroughly impressed with, his conviction, as in reviewing our Senator's po-. itical teachings in -ontrast with the late speech if Senator t'CtNsT-. We meain no discredit to . .he latter, when we express the opinion that senator HIAmltiini has drawn the true ehart for ,o future guidance of South Cari'lina and the south.

All persons are ewarned (rose trading for said Note, and any J -son finding the' same, will. confer a favor by ding it to me. ALLEN FR ANKLIN. h.LZ7.1sano sItn and in my judgment weill, combine those States against us. In such event, what have we to ex peet? We must have "the irrepressible conflict" waged in hot earnest. So that the " bill of fare " in the next preceding quotation is not to be arranged, until a Black Re. publican shall have been elected, and afer that, the power of patronage shall have combined the Free States against us. Now we confess that this does not look near as much like distinct advice is the downright position.tanken by Mr. BorcE, vis: that the South ought to move for dissolution im mediately upon the election of ia Black Republican. Does, or does not, Senator Casu'r's language warrant the assertion that be counsels any such movement in that specified contingency? We think not. So far then as we understand the practical ad vice of Senator CHEs::ur, he, like Senator HTAm. MosD and Mr. Bovec, counsels caution and union in the Southern ranks as an indispensible requisite to any movement for disunion ; he is indefinite, in fact may be regarded to have said nothing one way or the other in relation to the State's going in to the Democratic convention; he is most probably (by iapliestion) In favor of some sound Southern man as the nominee of that convention ; he in olines to advise some Southern movement -on the election of a Black Republican to the Presidency, but is by no means as positive so Mr. Boycz; and he does not seem to advise, any more than Mr. Boyce or &nator HaxxtoNn, certainly not so dis tinctly as Gener.l BosuAX, that the South should demand a recognition of her territorial rights over and above the Cincinatti Resolutions and the safeguard of the Courts. We are satiefied, for.one, with the advice of Sen. ator Cnssic, as far as we can ascertain it from this speech. We are not cavilling at him or his views. But we do most respectfully remonstrate against the injustice of those journals which con demn Senator HlAntstoxn and Mr. BoYcE, and yet lanud and applaud Sentdor CHESNUT. In principle, the three are agreed ; nor is there yet any evidence that they will diverge ii practice. The Mercury Loses Its Temper. In a recent article of the Charleston fercury, entitled "SOUTH AND NonTM," we find a concate nation of epithets which we do not remember to have seen out-done by the New'York Tribune in its most angry days. Certain allusions by our contemporary to points that have been made by Mr. Borcs and others, render it sufficiently clear against whom he designs to hurl this tirade of detraction and abuse. It is with deep regret that we find ourself called upon to notice such an arti cle in an esteemed South Carolina journal; the more so, as that journal has a prominence and a circulation abroad which will carry its shafts far beyond the limits of our State, and may thus con vey an estimate of the style and temper of our State press not conformable to the generous sym pathy and fraternal forbearance which prevail amongst us in political as well as social life. It is to be hoped that this article of our contem porary was written without diliberation. Surely, the usually thoughtful editor of that paper could not have observed thuheaping.up of obloquy which his pen indited in the instance before us. Look at the bitter phrases in a wass, and say whether you have ever before seen anything like it in outh Carolina journalisin : Contemptible eoirse, -el-seeker,-ej~icc-aspirnats,-oeumiionijest, ll storts offeffitire.-braze cfontery ad tratic' uts policy,-base and lypocriticael pro.fesCionoe,-ce reyard then with a loathing, abhorrence, and con empt, utterly ine.rpreoeible ;-these aro some of the amiable terms that figure in the .lfcrcury' little article of a half-column. Of courae no one will regard such wild invective otherwise than as he unlucky ebullition of a distempered eal. here can he but oe feeling amongat reasonable en at the South in view of .such displays of tem er, and that feeling is one of deep nmortifiestion, -having in it far more of sorrow than of anger. e ask our contemporary to pause in this course finfamed vituperation.> We ask him to remoember te~1te to the weal of our Southern honmes and resides, though differing as to the method of acring and perpetuating that end. We call up i his view the proud prestige of the Charleeton fereury itself, and its noblo msision in the cause f Southern Union-and we ask : is violh.nt la ~uage like that we have just quoted, in any way alculated to sustain its well-merited celebrity or o promote its ability for good in the future ? Al hough the Adcrrtiuer may perchane come in for ts share of the 3ferrury' denunciatory outpouring, e are yet far from retorting a single epithet. but ontent ourself with recommending to general at ntion, the subjoined emphatic advice, given vith the earnestness of a true patriot by Senator CusUT, in his late speech at Camden:I In my judlgmeit, the first great imperative ne esity of the South, at this juncture, is amon man.<';II thusr who comjwleea it. Those wcho ,'re altrony, nwess bear with the injirnu-ni ie of the weack, whether of hot hunate, turdy tactwun e orerruuiitiontse nuuel. Do this anti all will be right. To effect this, the South nmust counsel 'gether a ith rasndor, courtesy ead toleration'. N o nei, has the right among eqaals to gsreumte that he al ctogether right, und uthecre alttgether wronyg. uch presuinptioin is harsh und offensire, and can eni only in disaster. I cauntioNa sy cvMntryniea yeintnt the i,udiulycee of any such temaper. Another mark of the unkind tone of this e-ingu lar article, and one too which muanyin this latitude will repe-l, is the unnecessary andi far-feteched fling at the Honu. F. W. PicENs, interjectionally e grafted uhon the following sentence: "RBE? J nicaran (l-itely beplastered with praises by the Un, F, W. PiegEcNM. in a letter from St. Peters urg. as worthy ofcall conjfdruacc anti admiration) got up the isothermal line &c. &c." Now what is the siinple truth of this remiark by Col. PIcKE-NS? iscsing the question of popular sovreignty with aecgency and orthodoxy whi'ch even the )Iereurg canot tind f'ault with, he camne to allude, in the coclusion of a friendly corresponence, to one with ehiite he rememberedl to have conversed -aly in years past ott this v'ery subject; and these rc his wordls: The lHon. Rt. J. W.Ken has a mind emiincuit/.y gnultiied to inrieereyute thee ao, rerc raer. of uiieereignty, and I feel sure he ould agree with the views expressed above, i~e has a hiyh eand conmpreheir~ genaius, and I recol eet one we had a full conversation on sovereign ty and sovreign piower, in which we exactly agreed." Jfrom this natural homnage of intelleet to intel et, the Jlsrcury draws the gratuitous sneer we hae copied,--gratuitous, because the remarck of Col. lKEx5 eunntat be macfe to warrant the .ler ,.ye's inaterparetation (see our italies) withaiut dlis tortiun and exaggeratiin. Bat this is not to be wondered at, If it lie trite (as we are informued) gliat the .lercury once actually refused to publish a, nomjaitjottty of thte lion. F.
