Church Matters.
Bishop Davis, of the Episcopal Chnrc
accompanied by the Rev.. John H. Corn in
of Aiken, paid our villages visit on Mond.
of last week, and preached on Tuesday mc
ning and evening. These reverend gentl
men appeared to enjoy their visit, which i
doubt ia a great usssare may be attribute
to tbe large and attentive audiences thut w<
corned them.
The Bishop's discourses were attentive
listened to, and our people, thengh unseen
toraed to the forme of the Episcopal Churc
seemed by no means to tire at the service i
earnestly and devoutly read by the Rev. M
Garnish.
The Bishop will perhaps visit us nga
next month. H? think* of Supplying th
place with a missionary, to preach oocc
month, or oftsner. This we are a a re won

Shall South Carolina tend Delegates
to a National Nominating Convention?
This question seems to occupy the attention
of many of our editors and politicians.
The Convention meet nexts Msy, at Cincinnati!,
and as is well known, contrary to the
c .atom of every other State, South Carolina
keeps out of it. This Presidential nominating
Cooveation, haa now become a permanent
custom, and although it is basod upon
no constitutional law, twenty years' existence
has made it a law, and a!most equal
to nn election. We really enn see no good
reason why South Carolina should remain
out of it. President Pierco was the nominee
of the Baltimore Convention, and South
Carolina voted for him. Would it not be
as well to have our influence in the convention
ns to support the nominee of that con?
vention? It will be said, by remaining out,
we maintain a neutrality, and reserve to ourselves
the priviledge of voting for whom we
please. But would we not do our State
* more service by making the effort to bring
= forward a nominee? By keeping ourselves
in s passive condition, lavoring by our votes
what suits us, and rejecting by our silence
what does not, docs this course of action
i" do ourselves or our National Country n serrice!
Shall the minister of the Gospel keep
silent, and inervly tell his flock to follow
his example in morality? Should he not expound
to them the word of Truth, nnd warn
B- them of the wrath come? Can we refuse
to meet such States as Virginia, Georgia,
Sic., In Convention? Ia it not our duty to
^ meet with them, rather than to acknowledge 1
by our non-interference that we are two immaculate
for such company? On the same
principle we had may as well secede from
the Union at onee, refuse to meet in Con- ,
j gress, or have anything at all to do with Federal
matters.
There is but one party that the people of
the South eon aflfihilute with, that is the old
line Democratic Party. That party we can
plnce confidence in. Now we know there
16 is no party, or class of men nt the North fait
vornble to slavery. President Pierce hiin?
d- self, though in his whole course he has nc?v
ted with constitutional precision, we warre
rciat^t heart is opposed to slavery. We believe
q it Is impossible for one roared at the North, to
)(j favor oar institution. Wo do not look for
.q it. But we may find those who are satisfied
for ns to retain the institution if we deje
sire it They will none of it but for us,
we can do as we please. Frank Pierce
as President of the United States, sworn to
be guided in his conduct by the constitution,
n- will not suffer an antagonistic party to ride
at over us; so we believe the party to bo actuated
to which he belongs. By South Carolina
boing represented in the Convention,
our votes will go towards nominating a
,kH President favorable to ua. As a State, it is
ur our duty to remain in the Union, so long as
we can, consistently; it is our duty to perpetuate
the Union of the States: it is not to
- ?- tukv*?us vw uimlty tiua, i r vwi %??
operate action with other States will tend to
units u?, we should do so. Some of our
lv public men are in favor of sending delegates
8*1 *0 Cincinnati!, others oppose it. Our Repn
ressntative, Gen. McQueen, is opposed to it;
ill but we do not think he attaches any great
ril importance to the matter. We would respectfully
ask our Representative if it would
not he better to be greeted by the welcome
n of other delegates, with, *'I am glad to see
you," and in the end do nor common country
a service, than obstinately to keep out,
and maintain an obstinate silence, with, MI
^ have never yet condescended to meet with
you, and I won't compromise my dignity
' now; it may l>e I am wrong, bat I have par.
''V sued this course twenty years, and at this
late day, I am not going to acknowledge my
*" error."
10
^ Besides, our immediate representative,
Col. Keith, and Mr. Boyce are of the same
opinion. Col's Orr and Brooks are in favor,
. and it is said, so are Senators Butler and
^ and Evans. Mr. Aiken, the Representative
* from Charleston, is silent on the subject.
' In our views we no doubt are in the min*?
ority. Some of oar old politicians have ina'
bibed certain old foggy political notions,
and they are the oracles of wisdom to many
n others. The State mnat do as she has ever
"S done; whether right or wrong she most not
be vnscillnting, and oar influence must be,
as it were, in a nnt shell. We repudiite
the Idea, our State can do much by her influ
once, and the mere consideration of old
in custom should not restrain as from bringa*
Ing it into hesitby exercise.
b- To our Subscribers one* mora.
la the article to "oar patrons" last week,
^ we stated that we wooid send out bills io
^ that paper, to those subscribers who were in
arrears. We have dene so. It is some
y trouble to go over sii the names on our
,n book, so while we were at it, we made out
>r* bills against all those who were from
n- seven or eight months te s year or more in
r- arrears. It looks rather partisuier in no to
to do so, bnt it is troublesome to do soeb s job,
r> and therefore the matter ef s month or so,
^ could moke bat little difference; besides,
^ subscriptions should he paid in mimane*. All
work done for no wo are obliged to pay eaeb
and the paper should be peid for in advanes.
Again do we most respectfully urge
^ oer patrons to settle those small aeoooots
" without delay. Wo rye hr modi need of

Scent* in the predict nf a New York Sur- j
geon. By Edward H. Dixon, M. D. De
Wilt cf- Davenport, N. Y.?This is a book
of 400 pages. It is something like "A Diary I
of a London Physician, by Dr. Warren.??
Some of the scenes are peculiarly interesting.
Interesting bat sad; sueh for (hstance
is the one which describes the yeang man in
the last stages of consumption. He eould
not bear the idea that he would die, yet his
better reason told him that Ilia days, yen,
his hours were numbered. The scene where
he informs the young ludy he ardently loved,
hla reason for not offering his hand when
she expected it, having every reason to believe
he was attached to ber, is very touching.
How could he request her to marry a
man on tho brink of the grave, and more,
should he entail misery on those yet unborn?
But a few months elapsed before his beloved
Juiiett followed him to the grave.
Some of tho scenes, however, are not so
mournful An Irish girl was strongly attached
to one of her countrymen. Terry
thought she loved hi in, but when he popped
the questi on, sho refused. Terry was in great
trouble, so he determined to put an end to
his existence. He procured an ounce of laud,
anum, and a powder ho thought to bo arsenic,
but the druggist suspecting something
wrong, had given him chalk and tartar enietic.
'Poor Terry in his red shirt and blue
stockings, and an attitude of the grandest
kind, but covering, as we soon found, a desperate
purpose, flourished his tea-cup and
stirred up its contents w ith the scissors, constantly
exclaiming: 'Ah, Biddy! will ye have
me now? Divit a bit will I let the Docther
come near mo till ye say yis;" and a good deal
more.
Biddy, in her excitement, for an associate
who knew she loved Terry, had told her to
try his love, said "sho would never have him "
Terry rained the cap nnd drained the contcntn
and Biddy fell dawn in strong hysterics. After
a while she came too, and then came the
seene:
"Ah! Terry, Terrv! dear Terry! Ill have
ye. Yes I will, and I don't enre who hears
me. I always loved ye; but that divil's ^aby,
Meg, always kept tellin me ys'd love me
betther ifl didn't give in to ye to soon. Ah!
Terry, dear ''Yrry, only live, and I'll go to
the end of the world for ye."
As Terry had not yetcast up his account*,
and the stomach-pump, all bright nnd glittering,
was at hand, I determined to make a little
more capita) out of the casejind thrusting
the long flexible India rubber tube down poor
Terry's throat, with his teeth separated by
means of a stick, nnd his head between my
knees, I soon had the satisfaction of depositing
the laudanum und emetic in the swill
pail, the only article of tho toilett nt hand.
After years proved Terry nnd Biddy most
loving companions, lie never, even when
drunk, more than threatened her ' wid a batin;"
nnd she never forgave that ' divil's baby"
C?>or Meg, for her cruel experiment on her
eroic ana devoted Terry."
The price is 1 dollar 35 cts, and will be
sent by the publishers on receipt of the
price.
We learn from the Chester Standard that
Df T. W. Moore was, on Monday last, elected

COIeM'JKICATIOKS.
For the Lodger.
Chahlestox, Nov. 17th 1855.
Dear Ledger:
The subject that is engaging the public
mind and the text of general discussion
is the present, relation between the
United States and England. It h a momentous
topic and one whose evolutions
require considerable tact. The idea prevalent
at this time, is, that hostile measures
will be resorted to, in the settlement
of the negotiation in reference to Central
America., The transactions between the
two governments so far, on this point,
have been of the most friendly nature,
and I believe the intention of our government
in fitting out and dispatching Commodore
PaulJiug, of the Flag Ship Potoinic,
to Nicaragua has been for the most
part prejudged. I do not believe that j

need cull in physical ability as (he arbitrator,
or allow uofrieodlinaaa to be the

Now while England and Ireland in
their alliance are abetting in the Eastern
War, the united Irishmen of America are
conspiring a plot for striking, or aiding
thoir appraised countrymen to trike the
blow of disealb raiment from the British
yoke.
There is also some little of a broil between
the French and English. While
matters are thus situated J think it a very
propitious reason for such schemes as are
at present on foot to be effected, and that
too with some considerable result.
The Court of Common Pleas and General
Sessions closes its term to day, after
baring dispatched of a prodigiooe amount
of business for the two weeks of its session.

1 he Regatta is over and the disciples
of aquatic sport have returned to their respective
homes. Carolina for this time
i bore the palm in all of the Races, not
showing that courtesy to their friends in
allowing them to be victorious as on former
occasions. Tbere were a great many
sporting characters present, who attended
for the purpose of betting.
Our new Council has had its first meeting,
and having regularly organise*I, have
adopted measures for a reformation in the
police and city watch system of the City.
Several Know Nothings' incumbents of
,4City Pap" have been compelled to take
"french leave."
The weather is very unseasonable, be
ing very warm. We are running quite
dry in our cistern* for the want of rain,
of which for the last two months we have
had very little. In such a case or predicament
our servants have to go from
house to house and beg for wnter by the
pitcher. We are much in need of water
works in our city, which should bo procured
and established in order to free us
from such a panic.
Business is at a stand. Dull times we
have had, duller times have past, yet the
dullest we have now. Everything?politics,
newspapers talk, stocks and specie
itself is below par.
The present must be the crisis,for jrorse
it cannot be. It is very desirable that a
reaction should take place, fir the courage
of every ooe is sinking, and on right and
left, and wherever one goes, is heard the
direful, doleful aud dirgelike murmur of
complaints.

Rt?ol*rd> That we accept with gratitude
the munificent offer of the City Council
of Columbia, and thet the bociety be

The President presented a communication
from the Her. J. Bach man on Pteh
Breeding, which wae referred to the Exectiiire
Committee.
Mr. R. F. Hin pson moved that the
words after membership,in the third clause
of the Ccnstitulioe, be stricken out, which
was agreed to, whan Gov. Means moved
the insertion of the folio wine, which wae
carried: And that each local aocfeiy,

told at Columbia, beg leave to report,that tioi
at an early date after the adjournment of ftln
lue Society, they net and addressed a circular
to the different District Societies, *
and to tbe citizens of tbe Stale, urging
upon them the propriety of procuring life wa
members to tbe State Agricultural Socie- du<
ty, and of raising such a sum by individ- ftn(
ual subscription, and by State aid, as .
would plsce that institution upon a permanent
basis, and ensure its more estended
usefulness. Your Committee are Mr
gratified in being able to state, that al- MQ(
though tbey have not been able to <ee
raise the sum of $25,000 ss prepared, .
yet they have made so near an ap- or
proximation to it, in the short time "PI
allowed, that they cannot entertain a cor
doubt that a larger amount will be u,,
raised during the ensuing year. From ^
the hnperfcct returns which have as yet
been made to litem, it is evident that an a- Amount
of funds, at least equivalent to req
$20,000, have been realised. Tbe citizens acc
of Columbia, at their recent meeting, He
solved, ' That the City Council of Colutn- ^
bis be requested and authorized to furn- '
ish suitable grounds and buildings for the '

ings '??iul thus, by their zeal and liber- /
ality in iho cause of agriculture, bavo met
the just expectations of the Society, and
illustrated the proprietv of ibis city being N18'
selected aa the location of our State Fairs. Ha
The aid of the Council may l?? fairly cs- brc
timated at about (12.000. The citizens (
of the city and of the district have inanifesled
a like oommendable spirit and raised "u
the further sum of $2,600. Among the Tot
other portions of the State that have ta
ken a lively interest in the cause, Abbe- ]
ville occupies the most prominent position,
her citizens having subscribed tlu large
amount of 4,000, which justly entitles
her to be ranked as the banner district.?
Frcm other districts, as fay as returns have
been made, a further sum of $2,600 has 1
been received, which make an aggregate Cfi
of available means amounting to $22,000. i <g
Your Committee have mentioned the e ed
facts for no purpose ef invidious distiuc- rat
tion. llul with the hope that they may the
prove a wholesome stimulus to other dis- nat
tricls, and to excite an honorable ambi- Dr,
tion to see which can do most to advouce mo
the prosperity of their State. Having ant
said thus much in relation to individual Re1
subscription, we feel that we should have cy
discharged our duties but imperfectly did ?ci
we not advert briefly to the subject of Stale <
aid. Your Committee are fully satisfied enr
that to give that importance ami extensive at I
usefulness to a Stale Agricultural Society the
which our citizens have a right to expect, in??
that our Legislatuie will have to subscjibe Clu
a permanent sum to thst institution, the yen
annual interest of which will amount to J
$3 , 000; aud wo feel assured that this Fr<
body, with its characteristic lilteralily, Syt
will meet the just expectation of the pul?- wsi
lie. We would, therefore, most earnest ly feet
recommend to the members and delegates bet
of tbis Society who are here pesent, to He

Th? National Convention.
Some of the paper* in our neighboring
tate of South Carolina are discussing the
ropriety of sending delegate* to the Dem- \
era tie National Convention, which b to
Meting at CincionHti, next Spring, to
otninate candidate* for President and
rioa President. The Congrraaional dele*
at ion, it b said, as well as the Democrati
paper* of 8. Cn are divided on the quae*
ot??Col. Orr advocating the propriety
f sending delegates. We can aee no 4
ood reason vby South Carolina should ^
ot be represented in that Convention.?*
adeed, in the present critical crbb in the
ffaira of the country, we deem it imporint
that the entire South should be there
> give ber influence and the weight of + \
er counsel, in the choice of acceptable
undidates. A nomination has become
I moat equal to a an election, and ooe
tate might hold the balance of power
nd determine the choice #t the Conveu*
on. Virginia has never hesitated about
ie propriety of being full/ and ably reresented
in these Convention*; and the
ifluence and control she has exercised *
ver them, is well known. Let South Car. *
lina unite with Virginia and her abtev
oulhern States in infusing into thatCen*
entUin a conservative r-pirit and in lead*
ig it to a wise and satisfactory result.? *
incinnati, the place for holding the Coo*
ention, would not have been oar choicew
lor atmosphere b too mnch tainted with
bolitionism to suit the taste of Southernr*.
Put this b a small matter com par
i to the importance of the Convention,
here, however, as in New York and all J I
ie free Statea. lha fiouili h????ni

Extraordinary excitement haa prevailed
1 England, amounting almost to a panic,
1 the subject of a war with the United
La tee..
The London Timttf in a series of nsalious
editorials, started the subject, which,
mggerated by the provincial press, speed)tained
such demensions that axtras were '
tued announcing that the American Winter
had demanded bis passports.
General astonishment ana regret were
1 cited by tbe announcement, and energe:
protests were heard against tbe governed
l forcing the nation into so dange?tu
a war.
Our Livepool agent teiegraghad to bts
sreiieacyi Mr. Buchanan, the American
inmler, who promptly and eovHeuwIy
tit him the following ocBtndictiM of
ie ruiner:?
LoKDoK-Night of the i).
It it not true that the American Minister
is demanded his passports from the Until*
government. There is no foundation
r ruth a report."

There is nothing of importance from the
