The Hanoverian army has surrendered to the Prussians, and arc allowed to return to their hornes. A desperate battle was fought in Bohemia, near N?chel and Traubenau. Theie are cou flicting aoouuuts. A Berlin despatch claims that the Prussians drove the Ammans, ou the L'7:? and ?Sib, capturing 8,000 prisoners, while Vieuna telegrams claim that the Aus trians bavp raptured eighteen guns and many prisoners, in the fi^ht of Traubenau. Tlt-j Austrians are said to have lost 4,000 to 0,000, ."killed and wounded, and "tho Prussians 1,000. There was great rejoicing, at Berlin, over the alleged Prussian victory, and the people pre sented an address to the King. Vienua des patches, on the other hand, assert that Bene deck prevduted the junction of tbe army of J'rince Frederick Charles with the army ot Silesia, and was successful in the engagement of tjie 27th and 28:h, kiiiing and wounding a great number ol' the enemy. The Loudon Times says it is difficult? to decide the result, but the action was not decisive. 'I here are indefinite reports from the Palian army, which . has changed its plan of operations. Lord Derby has been forced to form a Cab inet exclusively Tory.

Da ..be other hand, the last Austriau telegram gives the following report : PARDUBITZ, June'29th. The Prussians were completly defeated by the Austrians yesterday underflaablens, leav ing behind one-third of their ar??y killed and wounded. They withdrew to Prussian terri tory towards Gratz.

Our eflterprising and public-spirited fel low citizen returned to this place on Friday last, after an absence of two weeks on a mis sion to Cincinnati and Louisville lu behalf o the Blue Ridge Railroad. The result of thi; visit of an able delegation to those cities i? every way satisfactory, and Mr. Reed ex presses the utmost confidence in the comple tion of this magniiicient project. The capi tahtalists of Cincinnati and Louisville arc aroused to the importance of the proposed railroad connection with the South Atlantic coast, and they are determined to invest their means aud energies where they will be recom pensed so largely. * Oa Tuesday eveniug, by invitation of the Town Council, Mr. Reed addressed a large audience of ladies and gentlemen in the Court House, giving in detail the result of his mis son. Ho expressly declared the belief that the Blue Ridge Road would be built, and spoke in cheering terms of the interest that had been recently awakerfed on the subject in the Western cities. He then alluded to the prospects of the Air Line connection with Atlanta, Geo, from this place, and gave a gratifying account of 'the measures being inaugurated to iusure its success. Then the audience was regaled with vivid descrip tions of scenery, cities and people, in a sort of lecture on the customs, fashions and ap pearance of thingj generally in the North and Northwest. Altogether the speech of Mr. Reed was vadium in parco, aud bis auditory was doubtless satisfied that he left DO measure untried to advance the interests of this section, and neither neglected the opportunity of close If scrutinizing everything within tbe sphere of bis observation-Anderson Intelligencer. THE MURDER OP B. S, RUETT, ESQ.-At the coroner's inquest held in this case,, nor ace Greeley, alias Johnson, made a confes sion before the jury, to tho effect that Mr. Rhett was killed by a gun in the hands of John Bull and himself. The following is the principal part of it: M Horace Greely, alias Johuson, and John Bull, alias Bennett, were ia a branch and saw Mr. Rhett coming ou the causeway on horseback. John said, 'Fire and shoot that man,' Horace said, 'For what ! John said, 'Shoot him?' s?d ?opk hold of the gun, and while both had hold ot it, both barre's went off at or about the same time, aud shot Mr. Rhett." The jury found a - verdict that Hr. Rhett was killed by fire-arms in the hands of Hor ne* Greeley aud John Bull, and that the said Gieely as principal, and the said Bennett las accessory, feloniously did kill the said Mr. Rhett. The Homestead Law. In oar article on the reckless donation of the public lands by Congress, we referred to what is called the homestead law, which has been passed by Congress, and, we regret to say, approved by the President. As our read ers may not be aware of its objectionable fea tures, we will, therefore, notice some of them. It appropriates public lands in five Southern States, viz : Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, to the' extent of 40,398,5 IS acres*. These lands are withdrawn from the market, and, until tho first of J:inu p.ry, l?0T,?are open only to loyal settlers ; and. after that, they will be open to-all.

C., about fifteen months since, (saj;s the Char leston Courier,) there was found with it a little girl, fire or six years of age, of bright counte nance and plc?sant ways, eridontly well-bred thus far, who, thc soldiers ' said, followed them from South Carolina, Georgia or Tennesse?.

Postmasrer-Gcnernl DENNISON, a Western man, erotnforc considered a very conservative Republ ican, has retired from President JOHNSON'S C.ibi iet. Three months ago, Jae made a public speech n Washington in which ife strongly endorsed tho 'resident andhi; reconstruction policy. Now, ns he ays to the Pres ?dent in his letter of resignation, ie withdraws from the Cabinet because ho ap proves the Constitutional Amendment, which Mr. JOHNSON does not approve, and does not ap arovo thc Philadelphia Convention, which Mr. JOHNSON doc: approve.

Ex-Gov.HANiiALt. of Wisconsin, Awlstant Post master General, nud ono of the lenders in thccall for the Philadelphia Contention, has been nomi nated to fill Mr. DENNISON'S place.

Seo advertisement elsewhere of the change that has recently boen made in this ever-excellent ol tabl?biacnt. If possible, it is to be better man aged than heretofore. When you go to Augusta, do, ns wc uro going to do,-give tho " A ?gutta" ti trial. Judging fro:1 tho Way the Conttitutinnatiut (good authority) talks, wo know it must bo a great institution, and we long t*> bo there. Hear him : " The Augusta" wns ever a populnr hotel, and how-that Mr. W. A Wright, tho former proprietor nf the American Hotel, in Richmond, Ya., during war tiraos, has control, wc expect to see it crowd ed by the traveling public. Since there novation, thc house presents a most attractive appearance.

The Difficult Problem of thc Camel and the Needle's Eye. The difficult. Bible problem, that it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven, need trouble Southern people np longer. Their ricket ?lo not seem likely to <Mog their way to glory. And that which har. brought this into our head is the fesrful and implacable drought. Four long weeks, and not a drop of rain. Man, beast,-and the kindly fruits of the earth, all perishing of heat and thirst. Universal sighing for the good old days of Adam and F.ve, when people were not cluttered up with hot and nasty clothing. Awful Teports from tho crops. Thc "third" which tho farmers have been promising them selves, dwindles down to a gaunt and hungry "fointh." Every thing in Edgefield is gaunt and hungry. Southern peoplo are poor, poor, pour. And in the hy no meons remote perspec tive, wc clearly read thc words-poorer, poorest -gauntest, hungriest. Norain! No corn! All the miserable pittance of cotton swallowed up to buy provisions ! No: wc certainly have nothing to do with that prSblom of tho cornel and the necdlo's eye. But on tho other hand, wo may as well remember that the poor have a kingdom promised them. If any one find* comfort in these thoughts, let him make the most of it. ^ Phaney His Pheelinx ! Who doesn't know that honestest and popular estof publicans and sinners, JABEZ RYAN, Esq., commonly known among his younger friends as " Uncle JABE," a scion of tho best old Revolu tionary blood in Edgefield District? And who also doesn'tknow " old Pate," former ly (ond better for him were he still so!) ri slave of Mrs. BARTLY BLOCKER ? Well, now to our story. Uncle JAST. hires Pair to plough.a field for him. Tho officiating horse rejoices in "the name of "old Bill." At noon, tho thermometer very higlrf Uncle JABE goes out to take a bird's eye view of Pate'* progress. He unis Pate, old Bill, and tho plough, all perfectly motionless in tho midst of the field. Pate stands dsoply rooted in a furrow, with one hand on either plough handle. Tho plough han dles represent " tho arms of Morpheus ;" for Put' is faut anlecj). So profound is his slumber that a rib might be taken from lils ride, wherewith to form a freed-woman who had never known bond age. Uncle JABE disturbs him not, but quietly disengages old Bill and takes Lim to tho stable ; leaviug Pate to dream of Heaven-or the Frced racuV Bureau-where there ara no ploughs nor furrows. After this, Uncle JABE returns to tho house, aud scats himself upou the piazza. In about a half hour, Pair rushes up frantically, with red eyes starting from bis bead, (a. red-eyed nigger is AiK) and striking a dramatic attitude, exclaims : "Good Gor-a-mity, Mus JABE, sumlouy stcnl old Bill and geno wid him. I j is leif old Bill stnndiu, and went to spring for drink o' water, and when I cum back, old Bill gone." Uncle JABE plays his part well, and after be wildering Pate beyond measure, and frightening him almost to death with fierce menaces and iron-clad oaths, sny3 to him: "Well, you infer nal, good-for nothing, red-eyed old scoundrel, and who's to pay for this horse ?" lo which Pale re sponds, with tremendous emphasis, and with au iir and tone of deepest conviction : Gor-a-mity, Mas JABE, why de Yankees, do Yankees. Nobody in God's world boen steal old Bill outen dat plough but de Yankees. But why tell tho talo further? Phaney Pate'* pheeliux (of relief and otherwise) when informed that he had so shamefully slumbired on bis post!

By a? much as tho tm ployer/ prouts are reduced by. sucha tax, by just that much is the return of the employee labor, he he white or black, reduced. Tho men who suggest and adopt such legislation must un der ruto the intelligence of the black man if they think that in consideration for the privilege t vote, which they seek to give bim, he will b eontont to bo pillaged at such a rate. If they would reflect a moment they would seo that th interests of both races, whon both are free, arc mutual, and that, in regard to such matters they are equal.

In France, the epidemic has broken out in seveial places, and with great intensity at Amiens. There Eave b'een'no cases Jn ^arjs, W? learn that the body of a man, supposed to be named Van Eaton, a tobacconist, was found near the bridge over "big" Cedar Creek, in this District, on Sunday last, by a freed man, who was fisbing.in the creek-the hook haying become entangled in the leg of the nants of the dead man. It is thought-the, baa been ?rested ia Augusto, Wa^mm& 9, ! For the Advertiser, conformity te the concluding paragraph i former article, .wo venturo to make ono or ti uggestions ia regard to the difficulties betwei Debtor and Creditor, consequent upon the abnc nal condition of the country. ^ Wc do'n'ot intend to thrust upon th-'coinmuni ho crudo notions of an inexperienced intelloi jut only to refer to such measures as have been r iorted to by Great-Nations under similar.circut lioness., Long bjfore tho day of Patrick Henry) :elcbruted Roman Orator bad contended that t best way of judging thcTr.curo is by thc past,-ai the experience of ages lias taught us the truth tho maxim. We shu!! therefore adhere to it. In thc year A. I). 250, tho Roman peor, amurgod from foreign and intostine war, load with debt, and groaning beneath oppressive tax lion. 1 ho arguments thou used hy Creditor ai Debtor, (ns related by Dyonisius of Ilalijaruisu uro so e:: icrly analogous tb thoso of tho citizo jf KdgeGeld District to-day, as to bo worthy notice. " On oue hand the Plebeians pretend not til bo in fl condition to <ay their deb'ts ; th complained that during so many years of w their !?wh Lad produced nothing, their crtfr/e hi perished, their slaven had escaped or been carri away," fte. On tho other hand " thc Cr?dito contended that tho losses were common to ever body; tl at they had .suffered no less than thi Debtors; that they could not afford to lose wh they bad lent to indigent pcrsons'during tho w? in' ad i it ion^ to what hud been taken hy t enemy," 4c. An* old* warrior in those days pfoclaime through- be mouth of Ser villus, that he was bo free, bad served in all the campaigns, had been twenty-eight buttlop, and bad often gained t prize'of valour ; but that since tho Republic h been red iced lo tho last.extremity, bo had bc forced to borrow money wherewith to pay taxi -aud net being able to discharge bis indebte ness, had been reduced to slavery by a mercih Creditor. How strikingly analogous to tho condition our country at the prosent moment. Thc Repu lie then, as now,.had been "reduced to the lt extremity," thc "cattlo". of soldiers absent in t army, bad died, their " slaves" (mark the analoj Oren here) had .escaped-they were loaded wi debt, &c. Thc vry argument and complain uttered over sixteen hundred1 years ago in't rta Latina and along therm sacra, from f Capitol and in tho Forum, arc now being ro'-echo from tho Saluda to the Savannah. What then was-done to relievo the cxigenci of the times? After tho.passage of certain lav Agrarian in their tendency, after an extinction the interest due upon debts and after the abolit i< of the debt itself, thereby producing a st greater reign of anarchy and bloodshed, thc sj tem of payment by instalments was adopted, ai thc people ultimately relieved. ^ Thc plan was, in substance, as follows : Tl interest previously paid was deducted fruin ti principal of the debt, and the principal itself r paid by equal portions during an intcival. three years. Tho Debtor was forced to give tl Creditor a lien upon bia visible estate, so as prevent tho fraudulent transfer thereof; and tl Creditor, on the other hand, was prevented fro lovying upon the property of a Debtor, who h: complied with the Act, until such Debtor hi failed to make the payment of each instalment it fell due-and then only for that partieuf instalment. After tho Amorican Revolution, of 177ft, ot ancestors found themselves embarrassed with similar load of indebtedness and taxation. Crcd tors were clamorous for the payment of their d mnnd; Debtors wero utterly unably to meet the liabilities; and fhe glorious soldiers, who hi bumbled rho '.' Mistress of the Seas," goaded 1 thc spur of Federal taxation and individual ii debtedness, were upon the very threshold of civ war. The intellectual giants of those days can tn their rescue, and in 1787 an Instalment A for tho relief of the country was' passod by tl Legislature of South Carolin?, so very-like tl >:cnatn* consullum of thc Romans above allude to, as to leavo little doubt of the fact that tl accomplished statesmen of*that day had befo: their eyes thc page of tho historian recordin thc decree of law ; and that the Act of 1787 ( Vol; Statutes at large) is basid thereupon. Tb Act has been called to our attention by Geni. S C. BUTLER, who, in reply to his constituents, ht alluded to it particularly; otherwise we would 1 moro minute in regard thereto. Thus we sc history repeating itself, and great men profitin by the lessons of the past. Wo will suggest another and entirely differei example in history. Tho Free Town of Frankfor in its earlier days, was almost entirely consume by fire. Its inhabitants were too poor to rebuil it; their purses were depleted; their credit, ha vanished. The deity Corporation, after divoi unsuccessful scheLic.? for the purpose of borrow ing money, found relief ia the following exp? .lient: The Corporate Authority was authorize! and empowered to take from thc citizens mort gages Of their real estate, and to issue to theo respectively stocks for the same, bearing iuteros at 5 per centum per annum. By means'whereo tho proprietors were enabled to rebuild thci houses and resuscitate the City. In 13-(we forget thc date) Charleston, bavinj undergone a like conflagration, contracted^"fin loan" on almost exactly tho same principles, am Mr. MCDJ.TFIE was tho agent for the contracting and maturing of the loan. Why cannot tho State adopt a similar course h the pr?sent emergency She would not be forced to borrow a single dollar, and' experience teaches us tho, propriety and policy of such proceeding. You will perceive, Mr." EDITOR, that the forego ing suggestions are not tho promptings of inex perience, or the result of undigested self-opinion, -but tho teachings of history, venerable because of age, and worthy because .of experience. When Dean Swift visited the Academy of La doga', he '.ras much diverted with the ingenuity of one of the Professor?, who explained to him the modus' operandi of a machine which he had invented for the manufacture of ready intellect. The Professor boasted, among other thing.-, that he could turn'out from bis machine any number, per day, of giganticgeniuses-Philosophers, PoeU, ZC.'JOXI, Statesmen, Politicians, Lawyors, Doctors, <tc;-and verily, Mr. EDITOR, judging from the numerous opinions and articlos, showerd upon you, wo'are forced to believe that the right to the patent for -stich machino has been purchased for Edgefield District,-and tho patentees aro en gaged with commendable energy and dispatch, in. ibo exclusivo manufacture of Politicona and Fi nanciers, ready to solve each in his uniquo woy, the present political Sphynx. Wo much prefer tho lamp of experience as a j?t?de to our feet,-and are strongly- inclined to mbrogat? our own imperfect ideas of legislation :o tho great genius of departed days. We bow tubmlssively at the shrine of former greatness md acknowledge'cheerfully tho potency of " Tho dead but sceptred Sovereigns, Who still rule our spirits from their urn's." More especially ought we to deprecate erery hing like personal abuse in debating this momcn ouB education. Let us remember the words of tfr. Burke that " assertion is not argument nor currility sarcasm." It is evident to all that to say black is white, ind yice '.ena', would bo'A mero assertion-unless icular-proof thereof vt ns. furnished,' In like man ier to say that^ho Judiciary of South Carolina as says " COKE") acted " an ignoble part/' ia a imple assertion, unwarranted by its past or pres nthistory, and unsnstaincd either hy pronf'nr ny attempt at proof. Anybody might have said he same thing. To have joid of the Judiciary it ns acted like a Sterodactylo or Anlhropnpngus roujd baye been jiiBt os appropriate, so fur as tho roof ii ponoernccj, as to.soy it actod 'ian ignoble art" Thus wo might say the Legislature-of ou th Carolina, or the Convention of South Caro na, aro a set of dishonost nincompoops, or a puck f ignoble curmudgeons. *But does 'that -make trern so ? Wc might with equal'propriety assert bat whit? is bluo.

X&ERSONNE." " -T-? -*- ? - - For tho Advertiser. Stay Law Again. * . To the'Editor':-lt was my purpose,, ai stated in the so'cond communication, to writ?, no more on the Stay Law.at present, but Major ABNKVS communication requirc8"an answer from some one, to prevent pleasant but fatal dela ?ions get ting abroad in "thc land. Tho remedy ^proposcd'by Major ABNEY, to avert tho distress which will be caused hy haying no Stay Law, is to enact " a Homestead Law and % law exempting certain property from levy ond sale." Thia would be a capital remedy indcetl if the thing could be done, but that is the question. It would bo un easy matter to enact an exemption Law for future debts, but present debts must be paid, 01 consume all the Debtor's property except what ma} bo preserved to him by existing exemp tion laws. The subst.mco owned by a debtor, at the time he makes a particular contract, is a ptvrt of the consideration of the contract It is the founda tion upon which he obtiuins credit, and as such must be held liable for satisfaction of thu particu lar contract. This is the well settled law nine, and has been for many years past, although Major ADSEY'S view of the Constitutionality of a retro-acticc exemption law was onco hold to be sound doctrine. Hence his remedy can only overcome the distress which might bc caused by I future debts, whereas present debts will overcome the people, if they rely upon. his "Schumi." for relief. Some persons'also propose to reduce- tbe 'legal rate of interest to five, Or even three per. cent, in order somewhat to relieve debtors, who owe mon cy upon existing contracts. But such a -.beary i simply idle. The rate of interest, determined either by ogrcomcnt of tho parties, or by opera tion'of law, is part of tho contract also,J Lower legal rates of interest could only apply to con tracts entered into after tho new rate bad boen established by law. Although want of faith is characteristic of this Revolutionary age, yet lot u/havoTruth' that Providon'ce'bns not entirely ?kdo'rtednt ; let u hope that in God's own good time and wiiy he ?.ill deliverus from pocuhiarythraldom. Besides the relief that may be affordod by legislation there is a small ray of hopo ia the .future tba begins to plerco-through-the' dark cloud of debt, distresi and dispair that ovorhangs ti) ii once happy and prosperous land. That small ray is in thc collapse of Greenbacks. Tho3e S'oinplne {?rsaro a legal tender for loth private and public dibit, and although they are so scarco hero now, they will lu a short while flow abundantly im this direction. Cotton is f .-id, and Sblnplas.ters aro not gold, O.thQ?gh aa- " Legal Tenders" thoy anSwcjr-thc same purpose in paying debts. Well, untass man is dhTerent now, under Radical rule, to vfiat he was in the days of Continental money, French Assignats, Mississippi Bubble, and the Saith Sea Mania,-unless ^aper money is better new thin then-unless all human experience ls at faulr, and all history a lie, as suro as papef uionoy has not been gold'in thc past, it cannot bo gold rurw or in the future. Wealth cannot be creritcd by Printer'* Ink, no matter how beautiful the is.-ue or? which the inipresrion is sought to ho made. Mr. Mern minger tried that with satisfactory resulta to the incredulous, and Mr. McCi'LLpru will do the samo thing. Alroady the National Banks are proving their rot'enncss-already cotton, gold, and every other substnntul article of commerce, ls constantly vi brating-rising and falling rapidly and violently like the troubled Mercury-the invariable pre ludes of an impending storm in the romiaercial world. Herein lies our hope- Tho enp of bitter ness which we bave had to drain to tho drega; will shortly have to bo refilled by fate, and swat lowed by the saintly lips of even immaculate New England. Having no Greenbacks ourselves we have nothing to loose, but every thing to g lin by the Pape: Bubble bursting' at tho North, whieh it must soon do, as human ingenuity could tot de vise better means to precipitate a ._/>ncy crisis, than the Radical Congress are now doing at Washington. Those whom tho Gods would des troy they first maire mad. There must he a gold foundation as well as ono of confidence to sustain the vast Pyramid of Paper which the Yt nkces aro widening and elevating every day, as if they possessed all the money on the oarth, and all thc bullion io thc earth. Repudiation must ultimate ly be the counterbign in the mouths of an over whelming majority of voters. But in the meantime, every cent that gold1, may riso will of course only mark the depreciation of Greenbacks, and ns the debtors of tho South need these " Legal Tenders," with which to meet their accumulated'obligatlona, they ought to pray for tho rise of gold as their only hope for salvation unle?s the wrath of OUT Judges can be propitiated or unless the Legislature can bo enabled ta afford relief despite tho Judges. These same greasy Greenbacks, by their enormous depreciation which must como, or they must share a hitter fa tb than unconvertible paper money ever did be fore, may yet provo to bo tho host friends of debtors in tho South. Still too much relief ought not to be expected from thia source. It is.only a popular delusion that if a creditor refuses to accept a debt tendered him, that the debt is thereby canceled. The w.-jOle I amount of,a debt, both principal and interest, may be tendered, but tho creditor can accept or hot as ho likes. By refusing tn . accept he loses nothing but turerear.from the day of tender, ond .?mts of suit whenever ho enforcos his contract by law. If Greenbacks should get so sick as not to bo desirahlo property, (and they will,) Creditors might refuse to accept them, and defer bringing suits as long as the statute of Limitations would illow, in order to get gold, or a better currency for tholr claims. Howcvor, it ts prohablo that Greenbacks, would gladly be received by creditors as long as Sb of Ihcm would'buy one of gold, especially if uny impediments cnn bc thrown in the way of Sheriff's .auctions. Then let us all turn Bear Brokers in a small way, by hoarding gold, to promoto tho si:;k ly health of our promising- friends, the .Green backs;-- The present growing cottun crop will bring gold: As tho Merchants are accustomed to say, cotton is gold, and gold is a beag i gold, wheroas paper monoy (unconvertible) according to all past experience, is only monoy at tho* beginning, and gets to be merely paper in,the end. Let us watch as well aa pray ; work os well as? hope, with tho maxim ever in mind, that God helps those who help themselves. Perhaps the first-thing the people ought to do is to send; up to the Legislature, at its next Session, a mcuior ul praying relief agaitst their debts. 'Lot the m? morial bo ably written, and signed if possible. !Jy overy debtor in tho Stato. Such a paper would have quito a sufficiency of signatures. Howevi r, it might bo advisable, to hold public seatings, and adopt Resolutions instructing the Governor to summon tho Legislature in Spocial Session, and aiso instructing tho presont members of the Legislature to order a Convention ^ tho people forthwith, on pain of nover again being allow? d to misrepresent their constituents'. -If the people of tho State could know thoir truo'interests, they wonld noyer cease, agitating until they get a Con vention instructed,to restrain thc Legislature from HBi^g b$ fonding, tho-credit of the State too fa,', and to aiio.pt some measure to prevent thc Corpo rations from ruling the Legislature. Tho wr r debt, and perhaps some other1 debts of the S tito, ought to be enquired into and by all means ; the L?gislature ought'to bo enjoined from ever r? d.eornlpg tito Bills of the'Rank of the State, lt should also.seriously he considered whether our .Constitution ought, or no?, to bo, so amended as t > provont any white man from ever voting ot any olection until he first produces to the manager? of 'auch olection satisfactory evidence that he hat paid his capitulation at the last gathering of Taxes.

If they are not willing > to do.'but still demand their puuud ol'llesh litantly-then, under tho circumstances which irround us, debtors aro absolved in good con vence, and self-preservation becomes the first iw of nature. Generally, creditors ought to bo itisfied with half, and in many cases, with even ^ thu-d\o? their dues. They ought even from olicy not to be too rapacious. By following no aide hut avarice, trying to get all, they may Me all, /or whenever a debtor gets his consent 0 evade payment of his obligations, the matter s easily done.

" The object of their n\eeiing waa not to avoid tho payment of. debts," as was assumed by flis Honor, nor was it " tn encourage the people to resist the laws of the land." On the contrary, it was called, that we might take counsel vi It h one another, how to prevent fraud and lawless ness, and tbat we might devise the means of pay ing and settling tho debts, according to the pro visions of law. Appreciating the' sentiments of His Honor, before we heard them announced from such high authority, our people had already resolved "'to preserve their honor," and " to try to pay thci?obts," not "avoiding their fair and honest contracts," and needed hot that pugnant exhortation-" Bo honest" . Hir Honor admits, that " no people in thc his tory of tho world, havo have evor been so sodden ly and completely ruined an this Southern people." It was to evolve some scheme for repairing this disaster that our Meeting was held. And if evor there, was an occasion, since the. establishment of this Commonwealth, that demanded a display of wisdom, learning, and character, it was that, ir .lieh Judge ALnnicn was asked to adorn with his presence and advice. Tt is admitted by His nonor, that " there are occasions when Jndgos, like all other citizens, should embrace tho opportunity to express;their opinions freely and lend their influence to advance particular measures of great public interest" Was there over such an emergency aa. this-and were any people evor environed by so many diffi culties and dangers as ours? They cry aloud for help, and who can suggest the remedies for their relief, ao well as our enlightened Judges? We arc riot trying a case of debt upon which a Judge itt to reserre bia opinion, but we are casting about for constitutional .measures. to.preserve the life of he State.
