A few months ago the mail facilities b .twoon the two places were increased to a semi-weekly communication, and now we must t?e suddenly deprived of all communication. Our Post Master ha?, with hit usual disposition to accomodate the public, drawn up a petition to the Post Mavter General which has been numerously signed by our our citizen*, requesting a continuance of the present weekly service, which wo hope will meet with the attention it deierve*. Our mail facilities are few at best, And instead of further contraction, thev thould bo ex ton dcd. THE EXAMtNER. Is another column will he found the pros pectus, of a new paper to be published in Columbia, bearing the above title, by, Mr. Johnston, so long and favorably known to the public as the editor of tbe Carolinian, We it indeed glad to seo Mr. Johnston enter onco more upon the duties of an editor, which although arduous, he is so well calculated for. The now paper should besupported, for we doubt not, but a liberal support will enable the enterprising proprietor, to make the Examiner an interesting paper, and more than that, a very us -ful paper. As will be seen, it will contain a large amount of reading matter, and yet the price id not higher than any other weekly. We eioceroly wish him the most ubundent success in the new undertaking. We will moat eherfully toward the named of aay persons who desire the paper, and venture to asdv(t,no one wilt regret patronage ao appropriately bestowed, and which A will be so remuneratively rewarded. THE HEWS. A terrible accident has happened on the Rail Road between Now York and I'hilr. delphia. The cars coming South, when but abort distanco from Burlington N.

The engineer therefore was hot on the look out, for the passenger Can* handed the train, instead of the engine, going *t a furious rate, they ran over a wagon and horaea.demoliahing several Cars and ^killing 33 parsons and injuring 78.

It is not my wi?h to occupy a place in yonr columns merely to controvert a political question upon which I have to differ from many of u?y strongest friends; but simply to give my views upon a subject which at present occupies no inconsiderable portion of public attention. I allude to Know Nothingism. It is not because I thiuk myself more competent than many of my fellow cilb tens to do Ample justice to this important this important subject. On the contrary, I freedy accord to them the greater ability; but the position which I occupy, coupled with the conviction that as a representative of the people, they are strictly entitled to mv views unon *11 -/ r~ ? (jw'eral interest; these consideration* Actuate me in the present instance and force me not to remain an idle spectator, but honestly, openly and candidly give iny opinion of this new order, which I will do in as short, condensed a form as possible. First?As regards the origin of this young order, I know hut little; it originated a few years since iu some of the Northern Sutes where all the popular fsmt coorioted by the fertile brain of a fanatical horde first came to light; it claims a birth place with Freesoil-isin, Abolition-ism, Higher-law ism, and not the least, Demagogue-ism. I then supposed that it would mnnm ?ilt. I*. 1 ? * I n.H) twm- un|iu?wn sua inwfM spirits, sod little imagined that it could ever exist in a more SouthenHKtaMtpber*. But alas! this order of doubtful principles is among ? ; its secret sbafta have pierced the old Palmetto State, and what is still paore astonIdling it has found respectable advocates. Who can imagine with % * L' what rapidity orror and corruption may bit increase under any banner that has in- crl scribed upon it the popular p red J dices of on the people? Americanism vs. Roman ca Catholicism! Young America to reign, tei and Romanism to bo extinguished! And dit how is this party of a ditlVrent faith to bo sei annihilated? Not by the all-powerful in- go fluenco of tho Iloly ltible, that Divine lal Law which ia tho only true weapon of vi< warfare to suppress error and establish co truth, but by a secret political association! I admit it lo be a grand scheme, worthy of its originators, and the most powerful ono ever devised to carry out a favorite object, whether it be good or bad. What M could Murrell and his associates have ac complishcd except through n sec roc t asso- G ciation, binding themselves by an oath te and adopting somosigu or signal by w hich u; they could recognise or communicate with tli each other? Not that I attempt to com- a pare Know-Nothingism with the revealed vi principles of the outlawed band, but to Iv show what may be accomplished hy sc- gi crot combinations; their i?ower to defeat tli thoso w ho may have tho independency to II oppose them or to disagree with them in m regard to tho proper moJus opcrandi to w be adopted in accomplishing the same in oud each may have in view. ty No man would rcjoico more than my- S1 seiftosoethe Protestant faith uuivcrsally it adopted; but this great end can only be ai accomplished by eorrect examples; by a is fair open aud independent discussion of n< true and correct principles. Let our ex- sc am pics bear comparison witii the pure y< coin, that brightens tho more it is handled. If we have light, let us not put it under a or bushel, but elevate it that it may shine P , upon all. If no advantage is sought of sc the people by this political association, d< " w hy conceal those great and good obiccts tl under n (tolctnn oath, and. thus Jake ml- [i vantage of tlio unsnspecting? I fear there m must be Aj Something rottun in the Statu of Denmark." " ; or at least something, if known would de. feat their object as a political party. Hut ^ j wo aro told that their political doctrines j aro not concealed, but open before the ^ world. We do not suppose that the r( Southern Branch would publish any creed ^ that would l>o very offensive to tho South; nor the Northern branch anything very , objectionable to the North. Although they may differ upon the subject of Slavery, ^ 1 they may bo at perfect amity upon all other political questions, and exert their ^ which no doubt will bo in tho nomination ^ of one of the old Whig party. If such j should be their course, I would have no ^ hesitation in pronouncing it the eld W:;ig * party under a new untno. > a We aro not surprized at the triumph of q j Ivnow-Nothingism in Kentucky where s , there nro hordes of abolition lecturers ^ with many converts to faith, and where _ > . ft , some of their lUvM Divines have declared ^ j that they "ft Herat th it the order waa catciliated to bury Democracy head-fore must, ^ , from whence it could never ayain arise." S1 ( Such a conquest should not reflect any tj groat credit upon Southerners in general, and nrore especially upon any political party in South Carolina. *{ , In the second place I am opposed to j, I the order of Know-Nothings on the ground C( ( of their proscriptions. If I am correctly g informed, members of tho order cannot ci vote against tho nominco of tho Know- ri Nothings, under penalty of the vsolatiou tt of their solemn oath. This deprives them 0 of one of the most sacred privileges that k belongs to a freeman. No pure democratic si republican can or ever will deprive himself of that right secured to hiin by the Consli- a( tution of the United Slates. Sir, this of itsolf is enough to stigmatize the order, ^ and cause it to be repudiated by all true Americans. It not only prcscrit>e9 who j we shall vote for, but also the religion p| that must be tolerated in America! Is ti this not a principle dangerous in th; ox- jr trerne? A principle that has drenched g< the earth with the blood of millions of M human beings, and is now one of (he great ,,, causes of a protracted European warl Sir, t) when thcao points and tendencies in a j| powerful order in our midst become ap- u parent to us, are we to fold our arms in Al silence, and by tlieir actions declare that fu they are deserving only a passing notice! I, for one, regard than of the greatest mo- m mcnt, and would gladly arouse every ^ patriot and lovor of his country, who ^ TMiue.s the freetlotn purchased by the ^ blood of his ancestors?every friend to ^ humanity who can wield a pen or doclaiiu from the stuinp?I would engage all the energy and talent of our country in the effort to suppress these principles of error l'' and corruption, and I would exhort my ar fellow citizens to raily around tho banner or of the Old Democratic Republican Party, oa as tho only pillow upon which a pure re* an publican government can rest seeuft. I 7? 11 am a protcstant in principlo and profession and virtually opposed to the establishment m< 01 any religious sect or denomination by w' the strong arm of the law or upheld by secret iutrigue. Jf ray religion has Both- t'" ing more to support it llian the sanction of law or public opinion, then lot it be h* consumed and drowned in the clamor of all lb* combined /mu of the day.? But, air, I hope it rests upon a more ae- or cure foundation?that foundation, the Reck of Ages, against which the galea mi of Qell shall not prevail. The lfoiy Bi- th< ) is the great desideratum, more pow- a ul than all the secret shafts and weap- i s than can he used hv this new fanati- i I Order. I have no doubt if their 1 s! and energies were exerted in the I ?tribution of tlio Bible, and in the dis- i mination of gospel truth, much more ?od would be accomplished, and their ? liors rewarded by the suppression of 1 :o and error, followed by sound and i rrect political principles. i Yours rcs|>ectfully, \ V. T. HAMMOND. i For the Ledger. rr. Editor:? As the timo for planting the Rescue rass is drawing nigh, viz: (tho 1st. Septuber,) I will give, through your valible paper, l?y your permission, all osc who wish to give tho Rescue Grass trial, the mode and manner of cultiition, as recommended by Mr. U. V. erson, whoso exporiouce is perhaps -eater than any other man, as ho was io first in introducing^ to tho public, o says select dry loamy ground, maire it well, have it ploughed doep, and ell pulverised. Lay off the rows 20 ches apart, and drill iu the seeds pret' thick, covering them lightly. This lould be done early in Sept. Work several times the first two months, id keep all poultry oft' until the grass eight inches high. The grass should >t be grazed upon tho first season ns ed is generally the object the first 3a r. \\ hen the seeds ripen, they shed out isily. Strip tho heads by hand.? lenty will escape for a stand. Tho :eda being gathered turn tho straw uner, and sow peas broad-cast covering ion) lightly with a rake or harrow.? i tho Fall save the peas. Let the vines ad leaves lie, being excellent manure >r tho young grass, which will come p early in September, and in November will bo beautiful. Then, with tho seed 'hick you have raised and saved, you ill prooeced as follows: Prepare tho ground you wish to plant i above described. Then lay oft' the jws four feet apart, manure each (if ecossnry) for a start, drill in your peas nd grass seeds at pea planting time, which is directly after you gather your rass seeds,) cover them lightly with a ike or harrow; the pons, only, w ill omo up; the grass scds not until the ilMf/d^ysWk^l he date altove, I havo had an excelrut stand of grass under my peas, but suppose it may l>e owing to the fioo e isous we liar? had. When the peas re ready turn in your fattening hogs.? 'he vines and leaves, ns above stated, hould be left to rot upon the ground, eing a good coat of manure for tho field nd young grass which will he up early in ieptomber, ami in Noveinlier tho grass rill he ready to receive your Stock it will :ecp them fat through tho winter and [ ring. When you see the grass is joining remove the slock an 1 let it goto i?ed. Put if you wish to make ha}', cut r uiow it while the seeds arc in milk, t will grow up rapidly, and forms' its eads and seeds again. When in the rind it ion, cut and cure as beforo. If tho round and reasons aro good, you may ut three or four times. Then let it seed, pen, ami sow them, which being done, irn under the whole and sow your peas. >n this plan you may enrich your fiolds, ecp them rich, and get excellent pay bodes. A peck of seed will sow from 1-4 to 1-2 :re. After 4 or 5 years' oxpcriencc Mr. Iver>n recommends tho above ns the best io?le of cultivating the Rescue Or???, and feel satisfied it will .succeed in giving the lauters of the South the best winter pasirage of any thing which has ever been itroduccd up to the present time, and we jo in tho papers where from one peck of >ed sown, 120 bushels of seed has been sthercd; and we see frequent reports in 10 papers that from an acre ot ground DO, and froin that as high as 140 and M) bushels have been gathered. If those o facta the Rescue is certainly worth a ir and impartial trial. For the benefit of all those who haro >t received, and who have made applica>n, I will doposit their seed at Mr. Thos. . Magiir* Store; and also tho balance of ed not yet disposed of, will bo left with m to dispose of. JAMES D. McILWAIN. P. S.?I will here call the attention of e farmers of Lancaster District, (who e interested in raising oats) to a an perikind, which is called the Black Winter kta, which planted in the Fall will stand iy Winter, and on which you may turn >ur stock upon (after the oata take good rwt\ tl.n t.? ~r " J ?- - * -mi mo ? ? in naj, uuu men muo are to the acre than any other kind tich I bare tried.

I will have between 100 and 160 bushda oftho Rood to dispose of. They should bo sown in September or October if you intend stock to run on them. Stock should not bo permitted to run on any field when the ground is wet and solt, where you intend the crop afterwards to maturo, as the ground would l>e injured, besides the crop planted would be tramped out of foot.

Professor Holloway, die proprietor of the most popular medicines of the age. The ? rise nnd progress of this extraordinary n .nau have had no parallel during the pros sion for the sale of hie preparations from :* most of the crowned heads of the Old ? World. Tlio queens of Spain and Purtup gal, the kings of Naples and Sardinia, granted hiin audience*; and in St. Peters ,1 hurg, which city he visited a short timo r. beforo the commencement of the war, he it was treated with marked consideration by t tho late Czar and t <> nohilitv. v * Trarol'ing in an elegant private car" attended hy a cmiri??r,hts ?quipago J attracted attention in the towns and J_ villages through which he passed.
