To the Memory of my Father. "Who shall weep when the rivhteous die? Who shall mourn when the good depart? When the soul of the godly shall tee away Who shall lay the loss to heart ?" "Farewell-farewell, my Daughter I shall never see thee more," Were the last words he uttered As he led me to the door; And while my heart seem'd breaking, Drew me fondly to his breast, And sealed his words prophetic With a Father's parting kiss! 1lhis form was bent and feeble, And his locks, all white and thin But an eye of eagle brightness, Told the depth of soul within; While his features still were faultless, Though eighty years had past, Since his first faint infant wail Was borno upon the blast. Oh!

Look again at the advertisement of the sale of the YouaGLOon negroes, to take place on the first Monday in December. It is by far the finest lot that has ever been offered in this market, em bracing, as it does, a variety to suit every taste, and all likely, hearty and sound. They are no groes who have never known any but the best treatment, and, as a consequence, they will hold their own where half-raised negroes will come up missing. Watch this chance.

I have written to ask the publication in your paper of the accompanying copy of a speech which I lately delivered at Edgetield Court House, on the Blue Ridge Rail Road. I would not have asked this favor, but, for what I must regard the disparaging comments of the editor of the Edgefield Advertiscr (copied into your paper,) who in the advocacy of a measure which he especially favors, is unwilling to believe that any opinion can be right but his. I h-pe that the editor of the Adrertiser will do me the ju.tice to publish the speech, and afford the people of Edgelield District the opportunity.to judge fir themselves of an argument which he has treated so lightly. I am, with great respect, yours, &c. WILLIAM GREGG. Now be it known, that before this note appeared in the Courier, the speech in question was set up from Ma. GnF.oG's own manuscript in the Adrer tisrer office, and was ready for the press. And yet MR. Gntae must needs indulge the Courier's rea ders with an inuendo aimed at our (assumed) tar diness to do him justice. Again, our comments were disparaging, says MR.-GREaG. * The only language in our editorial notice of the saleday meeting which could be so construed, was where re remarked incidentally that JUDGE FRosT's plain truths and Ma. Taux HOLS's eloquence were "too much for his (MR. G's) potato-patch practicalities," having reference to a certain illustration he bad employed. Now, there stands his said potato-patch practicality in print. Look and road it. See it in its full development. Mark its outspread points, revised and corrected by the author. And tell us, is there so much of might in it's structure, that we should be censured for saying that truth and reason and facts had prevailed against it? Why, look ye! if the illus tration proves one thing more than another, it is that neither Ma. GiOEGG nor his friend from Charleston knew any thing whatever about the culture of potatoes. Talk of the practical, forsooth! Mn. GREGG's turn-out was "so small that when the gathering was finished he asked the hands if they would take the pile of potatoes in payment of their wages for digging, and they refused to do it." And yet, because Ma. GuE (and a gentleman from Charleston) were such out-and-out greenies in potato-culturo, ergo, the Blue Ridge Railroad is'to be attended by as complete a failure. It will take a plain man, unversed in the logic of the schools, some time to make out that argument. There is a sort of transcendentalism about it which we have striven in vain to compass. But we were further of opinion that other no tions of Mat. GREa resembled this potato-patch idea, and hence our plural phrase, "potato-patch practicalities," intended to designate that entire family of practicalities which amount to little or nothing when analysed in time's unerring cruci ble. Of this complexion, was the practicality put forth by MR. GRGo some years -ago, that Plank Roads would soon supersede Railroads in many localities, and, especially, that a Plank Road alongside the South Carolina Railroad, from Ham burg to Charleston, would not only be a self-sus taining investment but a profitable one. So like wise was a prophetic practicality we have heard attributed.to this gentleman when cotton was at 6 or 7 cents, i. e., that it never would rise again. So also the project of draining some swamps in two or three parishes of the low-country instead of prosecuting that truly great work, the Blue Ridge Railroad. So, too, the policy of keeping outsido bacon high, to force the cotton-planter to raise his own hog', having no care for that large class of our population who can neither raise cotton nor hog. All these we have designated for conveni ence sake, as above; and in doing so we have meant no more disparagement than they merited. But a row words to the speech in hand. We num ber .the potnts we make. 1. Mat. Gneco, it appears, does not deny that the Bank of the State will be able to meet the in *noss the State may inaur by the prosecution a road. Where then is the scare-crow of me fact of our fathers having wasted, us the e tp y~ t'li m Adslntapproxlma. . at the lui1tidge Road will be a work of siunar uselcssness,--no more than MR. Gnzuo's ignorance of the potato culture pruves it. 3. Ma. Gareco's assertion that "State capital will alone he relied on" is a sheer eurmaise,-guess work. 4. If the fact be (as the speaker says) that the Nashville & Chatamnooga Rouad injured Charleston, it doecs unot show that the Blue Ridge Road will dat so. But we doubt the neeuracy of the statement 5i. The suggestion that the question be tested at the ballot-boux is a good one. 6. No State, says the speaker, can manage a railroad; and yet, in thme same breath, ho is obliged to amit that Gecorgia is now doing so with emi nent ruccess. Are South Carolinians less reliable or less skilful in monetary matters thtan Georgi ans? 7. Thme fling aet South Carolina Railroad stock is strange and unacountale, when it is so well known that this road declares continually the tmmost respectable dlividends, andl that its stock ramnks as high in the market as any railroad in the Union, with perhaps one or two exceptions. S. The argument based on the difficulty of get ting justice raemay fro,na homae, is truly a specinme-n of the anmall potato. Is it not maoreover a delicate comlimnent to our sister southern coummunities in this age of law and libierty andi justice ? 9. Mar. GnEGG, an avowed opponent of the Blue Ridge Rtoad, admits that "it aight postsibaly bring bacon to one-half of Edgefield District ten cents a hundIred ehenpr,"-a very laow allowance of course. But take even thaat, anmd what does it shomw ? That the nama who buys five hundred lbs. of bae-m a year will get hack 5n cents of his year's t:mxes ;-thmat the man who buys five thousand lbs. will get back five d-dlar,, and su on,-nearly conm ter-balancing the increase of taxation elsewhere given by our spenker. Remenber, this is at Mr. t's own estimate of the gamin to amcruc. Every one will perceive thaut he puts it far below the probable notch. 10. The suggestions about the trade and travel of the Blue Ridge Road were tall urged against the S-uth Carmlina road ini its incipiency. There were then, as there are now, oldl fogies hanginag on the wheels of ptrogress anad endtev-oring to stop the world's advance in civilizati-n. Thirty years henmc, these opaponents of the Blue Ridlge enter prize will be seen ip time saype ludicrous light, as those are, now, whmo predicted that the South Caro lina Road was a monstrons absurdity which never could, by any possibility, sustafs itself. 11. Mn. Gnc is already pledged to subscribe tenm thousand dolhears to a railroad in this district. Are we :nistakes is suapposinmg, that this subscrip titan is prominsed to the projertod Hagiburg & Co lumbia Raoad providled it runs lay Granitevillo? Anal if it dIe-~nan by Granuiteville, of what value will it be to thte district at large ? 12. The spo:mker talks of building this road for Chaarla-tmn, as if the whole State was not to be honetitted lby its comupletioan. Such one sided po sitiaons will be duly apreciated by an intelligent p:ole. 13. One gitore poinat. Maja-r Gwvss, says Mr. Gnaca, "uwould be his (Mr. (l's) first choice if he were gaing to build ma ralronad." Of course hs~ re garda bite as altogether reliable. Yet, Imnmedimate ly-, Mr. (lna turns aroundl and says that Mr. G wys's estiamates of thae cost of thme Blue Ridgo' Roaa arc entirely tmao low. Now, which of thme twoa are we to credit,-Mr. Gtwvss, who is consiad ered lay the speaker bimnaelf as omne of thme best ena gimneers in the Unitedi States, anid whmo knows all about this road ? or Mr. Gnco, who sits down at Kaliniae anad contradicts thme enginecer, without hav ing the slightest personal knowledge of the mat ter in banal? With thesme brief objections, we present thme speech of Mr. GmP.GG to the public, asking for him a fair and impartial hearing. The circum stance of the speaker having once (and rathmer re ently too) declmaredl that a Rail Ronda from Char leton to the Inaterior wonuld result in great'good to the State, if begun at this end, viz: at Char leston or at Beaufort,-this circumstance, we say, may possibly be regarded b'y some as slightly militating against his present wholesale denial of ay benefit .likely to accrue fromt the Blue.Ridge "4Iench and Bar of. South Carolina. -' ige O'NEALL's new work, thus disignated, is ,est out. Criticisms upon its merits and peculiari ties are already promulged in several quarters. The Evening Ners objects to several features, but fells deeply grateful to the author for undertaking a work so laborious and difficult of exechtion. The Jercurhil Autocrat has not yet spoken. We await his decree with interest. In the nean tiem, we commend the book to the reading pC'slic as one well worthy of a prominent place in every. South Carolinian's library. It is a valuable record of the lives of citizens who enstamped their names upon the earlier progress of our State, legally and politically, socially and morally. Doubtless, there are many greater men now, than were some of thote old style, homespun worthies. But whtfier or not these modern great onescould have filled the peculiar parts of those pioneers in Carolina development, is.quite a different consideration. This work of Judge O'NZALL will command the approbation of the State, not only beceuse of its truthfulness and noble purposo, but because of its intrinsic interest, bringing out (as it does) many isolated facts in regard to each particular section of the State which every one will be pleased to see rescued from oblivion. As a single Instance of this characteristic of the work, we quote a passage from the memoir of RoBnZr STARX, State Solicitor. It gives a striking Inci. dent pertaining to an individual not otherwise connected with the book. Call it digressive if you will, it is still a fact of interest; and a volume of such digressions would be appreciated by all who wish to preserve the whole history of our State. We quote from the sketch of ROBEnT STARK, Page 66, vol. 2: "At the age of sixteen, he entered the service. of his country, as a soldier, and was in the battles of "Blackstocks," "Cowpens," and "Eutaw Springs." At the battle of Eutaw, he belonged to a company commanded, as I understood him to say, by Captain Richard Johnson, of Edgefield District. I see he is called Lieut. Johnson, in a correspondence between Judge William Johnston and Col. Hammond. In a charge made by that company, they drove the artillerists from the gun, before the Brick House. Captain Johnson leaped off his horse, and took from his pocket a twenty penny nail, and, placing it in the touch-hole, with the hilt of his heavy dragoon sabre, drove It as far as he could, saying, as he did so, " you have plagued us all day, and you shall do so no more." Mr. Stark told me, that Capt. Johnson, when h entered upon that battle, was dressed with a white vest and pantaloons; and, when he left it, he was covered with blood from his breast to his boots." 0 '6 Edgefield Specialities.

If you have any spleen to vent on the occasion, take it out at once; and if the debt is not too large, we will liquidate it at that Possum Supper, that is to be. Read and tremble: - To J. D. B. DE Bow, Esq. :-Edgefield District was settled principally and, indeed almost alto gether, by emigrants from Virginia and North Carolina, while most of the upper Districts or South Carolina was first colonized by foreigners. This fact may have something to do with the leading characteristic of the people, which is ree less bravery. The popular historian Weems wrote much of Edgefield, and styled it the "ifghting" Ditrict of South Curolina. The celebrated family of Martin, embracing seven brothers and two sisters, who figured so nobly in the revolutionary warfare of South Care lin, were natives of this District. Many of their descendants still reside here. The female part of this Martin family evinced the same heroic feeling of attachbeent to their country and courage in its defene, as theirdaring, patriotic brothers and husband'. An evidence of it is as follows: Understanding that important dispatches iwere transmitting up the country by the enemy, Mrs. William and Mrs. Bartley Martin determindto waylay the courier, and take possession of the rner-nuFDang cx~Lhenr dressed themselvedt in poisted~themsives ir~'eat qk_ thieit muskespir?s would pass. Soon after the courier appeareal. guarded bsy two British officers, when the ladies presented their muskets, received the surrender of the guard, and paroled them on the spot. The ladies then sent their captured dispatches to Gen eral Green and returned home through the woods, where they found the paroled officers, asking bus pitalities for the night, which was granted them. They departed next morning for Charleston, with out being nuware that these two women had ear prised thenm. But it wouldl be a vary long list, to specif'y th~e revolutionary worthies of this "&rre* old" District. The Hlammeonds, Towlses, Hlarveys, Middleton., Butlers, IUatchers, Watsons,ltyans, Galphins, Pur visas. Simkinscs, and others, fought like the Greeks of old in the partisan ws.rfure of the Revolution. Many of their descendants appeared on the bat tle fields of Florida during the Indian wars there: bore themselves gallantly in the campaigns or Mexico, and pruved themselves worthy of their sres. Colonel Pierce M. Butler, of the Palmetto regi meat, was a native of Edlgefield. Captain P. S. Brooks, a native of Edgefield, was also of that regiment, thrashedl Abolitioen Sumner, and acted only as nine men out of ten in Edlgefield woul'1 have dine, had they been in his stead at the federal capital. Yet " coaruge" is not the only admirabele trait of this people. They arc br'spitale, indunstrious, and enterprising; good farmers, occupying tasteful residences, and the southern pocrtion of it is ex tensively engaging in muanufactures. 1lorse Creek anid its tributaries lhave two large cotton factories, G'raniterille andI Vaneeec, in full operation. Mr. Wmn. Gregg, as you are well aware, is the founder of Uraniteville, and the president of thai fiurishing compilany, which was the pioneer in successful cotton mnanufacturing at the South. Hie is also the sole owner of Vaucluse, having lately purchased it, renovated its old machinery and greatly enlaryod its operations. It cannot be doubted, but tha:t, by his herculean energy, prac t~ised skill, ripe experience, andl hard, common sense, Vaueluso is destined to a long career of a brilliant and unini terrupted pirosperity. Gjraniteville is icndeed' a mocdel mcanufacturing town, in which New-lEglandlerer Old-Engleinders might learne profita ble lesson, in the art of working up our king staple, especially if they have any regard for the physical, mental, moral, and social welure of their operatives. A few miles below G rauiteville is 1I'eh (.-itucated on the South Carolina Railroad,) nther flourish ing village of Ed;:etield District, far famedc as the best paper" manufactory in the Southern States. It is owned by a company, isbose stockholders reside principally in Charleston. About six miles frocm Bacth, in the direction of Agustac, Georgia, is Kuolin, the fo'urtb manufac turing village of~ this Uistrict. It is a new place, founded about three yenrs ago, hut is a growing one, and turns out floe crockery as well as porce lain, equal to any imeported from China. It is owned by Augucstaus, Charlestonians, and enter prising Northberners. Dr. H. R. Cook, a resident of the neighborhood, entitled to the merit of having first discovered the unsurpassed porcelain quaitiq of the Kaolin-earth. The town takes its namce as well from the place in China, where the ftest tei wa're is made, as from the earth itself, which is called by the samte- naise, above mentined. )Iaanbury, on the Savanncib river; is opposite Augui'ta, Georgia, the heest int~rior cotton market at the South, or is at leand so held by all Soth.Caro'liuaians. One cause of this'is ''perhaps the cluo cocmpetition with Augusta; another, the plucky charaeter of the peop~le "nt to be outdonee," but doubtless the main reason is, te cheapness of freight and the facilities of transportion to the sea-board bcy means of the Saveannah river, South Carolina. mend the Augusta andl Savannah Rail. roads. The merchiantse are willing- tm work for small profits. There are soeedaring cotton specu ltrs in thu town, many of whom -hacve realized large fortunes, while others hneve lost. Probably there is no tuwn of egual size in Americs, where more or letryeir collunlergial~ vicissitudes and suc eeses occur. " Tue Jlank of Ham~ibury" Is a fine fiousiahing instittion, like aell the other banks of South Care. hann, which commnand the " entie" confidence of the Careolinnc peoplle as well as of those abroad. The Greenville andl Columbia Railroad has diverteid much tradce *hich formerly centred in lnurg, lbut eflforts are now mcaking to lap that roacd by one rrom liamburg, so as to restore the former prosp~erity eof Augusta's rival. This has beene an uncpropitiocus season here for both corn and cotton. Meest of the farmers will eave to buy some corn, ande they are not making more than two thirdls of an average crop oif cott-n, which in years parmt has amounted to about 41,000 bales. lit Edgefield is not alone in a deficient cotton I lhave lately travelled in Tennessee, Northern Alabama, aned GJeorgia, and front all my elhserva tis, together with much inquiry, I venture to ~rict that the cotton-crop of 1859-'60O will he a short one in cumnarison with expectations. To return to the specialities of Edgelleld, the county seat is beautifully situated on a high and healthy ride, twenty-three miles from Augusta, G-..:i. ntha s.. panitia L,000 (whit. and blac,)-has two flourishing academies (one male, one female,) twenty lawyers, and fire doctors. cre are four chure'.es: one Methodist, one BaOst, one Episcopalian, and one Roman Catho lj~ The last is a magnificent stono structure, in te othic style, not yet quite finished. When com plie, it will be undoubtedly the 5neet ecclesias ti" edifice in any village of the State. - e local ministers of the different denomiua ti s are all learned gentlemen of high character, pi o deportment, and elegant orators. Their m istrations here and in neighboring churches ha' e recently been very successful. How could it He otherwise with the pious example, unceasing deiotion, and convincing logic of such holy fol loirers of Christ in a community like Edgefield, w4iih ranks as the 2d District in the State in point of population, and second to.nono in intel ligence and elevated sentiment. The public buildings here, court-house and jail. are both commodious and substantial brick stnic tures, a model worthy the imitation of our agri celtural counties at the South. Edgefield Court-House is the residence of Hon. F. H. Wardlaw, a chancellor in equity, and a pro found jurist. General M. L. Bonhan, the successor of the lion. p..S. Brooks in Congress, resides about four miles from here. ' lion. F. W. Pickens, the present minister to Russia, has a splendid residence, called "Edge wood," in the suburbs of the town. Stonelandes, the seat (if the late Judge A. P. Butler, United States Senator, is four miles north of this place, and itedelif, the home of Senator Hammond, is also in the southwestern part of this district. The Press Is ably represented by our mutual friend, Col. Arthur Simkins, the editor of that stane.h state-rights democratic journal, " ThAe Edgefield Adverti'er," which has a large circula tion. It is one of the best conducted country pa pers in this State. I find the citizens of Edgefield so pleasant to me that I regret to leave them, and hope soon to re turn to share again their generous hospitalitics. Yours, G. 11. SuseKRaviT. p'Gov. Weller, of Cal., has appointed Judge Haun, formerly of kentucky, to fill the vacancy occasioned by Senator Droderick's death. For the Advertiser. Blue Ridge Resolutions. At a meeting held at Edgefield Court House on the 7th instant, the following resolutions were of fered by Col. AnTun SINxINs: - "Resolved, That we cordially approve of the Blue Ridge Railroad Enterprise, and support the policy of granting such aid by the State as may o essential to its completion." "Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to our Senator and Members of the Legislature, to .give their hearty support to this measure, and to vote for the necessary pecuniary aid." The mover of the resolutions stated that in pre senting them he acted as the organ of many gen tlemen interested in this groat work; that it was designed to take the deliberate sense of this mee ting upon them; that previous to calling for the vote, discussion, pro and con, was earnestly invi ted: that the President of the Road, Judge FaosT, and a prominent Director, Mr. GEo. W. Tnx uox, were in attendance by special request; that the people of Edgefield wanted light and truth, not vain assumptions, on this important question; that all would say, they could not ask this kind of Information from a better source than from the conscientious, hightoned and enlightened advo cates of the Blue Ridge Road now before this meeting. The assembly was then addressed by lion. En WARD FROST who was followed by Col. J. P. CAR. ROLL, and by Mr. GEo. W. TnENHoLM who was followed by Mr. WILLIAm GREGG in opposition. The discussion was a long, able and interesting one. At a late hour in the afternoon,'and when the meeting was considerably 'diminished in num. bers, the question was called for, and the vote ta ken, when the Resolutions were adopted by an overwhelming majority. That the same result would have happened at an earlier hour of the day, and with fuller numbers, the choir could set no reason to doubt. The meeting adjourned harmoniously, havi proceeded throughout with due regard to propriety and parliamentary usage. .T HT HIT TETT. Chnia. a di ol who'.

BtwctANA is -ras FIF.L.-The Philadel pmia Press thus slates Mr. Buchanan's posi tion in reference to the next Presidency: " It is clear that jir. Buchanan, is ini the field for re-election. Thme programme is a very simple one. H~e expects to unite the South at the Charleston Convention, after a contest between others, and, with the aid of Northern votes, to secure a nomination; tl:en by the aid of a united Souithern vote at the Novembler contest in 1860, he looks forward to the Electoral Colleges of Oregoun, Calhifor ni, and New Jersey to sweHi up his vote, so r to leave the decision of it to Pennsylvania.

She told] her hus band at ditfferent tines before her death, that she wvas prepared to meet her Godn in p~eace. As a wife, she was kindl anid affectionate; as a mother, she was tender, loving and olIiging; in a word, she was-beloved by all who knew her.
