' A Civil War?The Beginning of the 0 End. 11 Tim abolitionists have at last nccotn- | ^ filislieJ their designs. Tlioy liave brought ! ? about a civil war in thin country, ami by i j, the next steamer across the Atlantic, can j \ rend won I to their allies anil friends in j tl England that the long sought end is ae- j h coinp'islied ! What tho old tories of i Britain, by sword and bayonet, could not w (In, their descetidants ntid tools in New j, England, by newspapers and songs, have done, to wit!?divided this Union! No one, looking haclc to the past history of ! j the abolition and Seward faction of this ^ country, can fail to see that their whole niui has been, as Mr. (Jreelvonce express ed it, to rear and educate a generation to r '* hate the South." In recording the news of the battles in Kansas, the Tribune calls ^ one party the "northern" and the other the "southern," and talks of "the ene ' my," as if the southern people were of ^ another country, and onr natural enemies War now actually exists in this coun- q try; the North is atrayed against the ?( South, and men are fighting, shooting and ? killing each other in the territory of the a United States, with the same feroeitv that characterized Frank and Ilun last year > t in the Crimea. There is no denying this n ?no getting over it with the slur that it is only a "party" or "strife"?it is nc- i tual war, am] nothing else, and a war that ii growing more furious and sanguinary (i everyday. And now the question arises, t what is it for? What is all this strife and |t bhtodslied about ? Why, simply to keep . o ir southern brethren out of the common a t jrritoriea of this Union! Sift the whole ^ question down toils real merits, brush off q all tho dust and garbage that have gath- w ered on it, and free it froin all the aboli- ? tion cl?p trap and nonsense about " free- (j dom and Fremont," stiip it of all the j kites, straws and election nonsense, and t we find it a plain, simple assumption of n hftvvnr an/1 ??? ? - <* ,?....... ....imiiin ?>i mi; .torui 10 govern the South. The men ami families of the South have ^ gone into the Territory of Kansas with j their property under no disguise, hut aim- (| ply toiuliabit it as citizens and common y owners of our common country. They have not sought to drive nor to keep any ' one out of the territcry. They have not (| passed any laws to prevent any other cit | izens romtng into and living peaceably in ^ it, and whit ha*e thev met there! How j (] have their northern brethren met thctn ? Why, with fire and sword, with cannon 'j and bnll, sent forth by churches and cler s| gy front New England and New York. ^ 1'he notthern settlers have denied the right of southerners to conto there, they ' have met together to pass laws against their coming, and when all has failed to I1 prevent theni, thev have called for men 11 and arms to c??me and help drive them a out. To the eternal shame of the North 0 he it said, they have responded to this " call, and fioin the purlieus of their cities and the low dens of their villages ha? w gono fort 11 fln army of the lowest vng.-ibonds and hireling traitors that ever in- ! u fested any country. The (Jreeleys and 11 Oiddings and Beochors liavo joined hands 1 with debauchees, like Lane and Cole, and 11 sent forth a bandit of plunderers to ravish the fur plains of Kansas. There is no f? denying this, no getting over it. ? T!ie whole operation, the w hole design ^ is to drive the South out of Kansas,? F They do not, thev cannot pretend to say that the South tiiea or wants to drive ' them out, or that it asks anything hut j! that its people shall he permitted to settle 1 peaceably and quietly in the territory, the same as the people of the North, but this the Beechers, and Creeleya, and Guiding* n declare thev shnll not do. They are de- C tcrmincd there shall he no south, but that ? the North shall he the government, and ' have all tho territory and all that belongs <i to the Union. a And now since it has come to this? since war against the South is openly de- !<v clared hy llie formation of a "northern I . partv," and has heen actually commenced I " for the stihjngatinn o?thn Smith, lot every j r citizen tnko his stand fttld his position.? ? for ourselves, we do not hesitate to enroll 1 our names against the men and party that " have declared this war, we do not hesi 1 ta!e to join the ranks of tlu?se who are ' lighting for their rights as citizens of one 1 common country ; and if it becomes ncc- j o?stry, we will cheerfully give not only i t our money but our services in the field to : ?i sustain them. f' i n.it there are thousands and tens of ? thousands of others in this city who will I' do the same we hat ? not lire least doubt, ' H ami we trust that immediate measures P will be taken by our conservative and | 11 Union loving citiaona to sustain, by com- j tnon effort, those pbmewrs in Kansas who j are fighting for their rights as citizens, | against tke northern hordes who have laren sent there to drive thorn out.

Fellow citizens of the Senate and Jloute f Representatives: t In consequence of the failure of Con- ? res*, at its recent session, to make pro vis- <' >n for the support of the ariny, it became ?

With the exception of a par ial authroitv vested by law in the Secre- " nry of War to contract for a supply of loihing and subsistence), the artry is vholly dependent on the appropriations innually made by Congress. \ Tlio omission of Congress to act in this ^ espect before tlie termination of the fiscal ear had already caused embarrassments " o the service, which were overcome only s ) expectation of appropriations before the lose of tlm present month. If tlte require funds be not speedily provided, the .

It is not merely that the officers and ^ nlisted men of the artnv are to be thus eprivod of the pay and emoluments to (j diieh they are entitled by standing laws, j ^ tit that the construction of aims at the ublic armoties, the repair and eons'rueion of ordinance at the arsenals, ami the inmifacture of military clothing and camp qttipnge must be discontir.ed, and the ersons connected with this branch of the uhlic service thus be deprived, suddenly, f the employment essential to their sus- I fiance; nor is it merely the waste conae- t< uent on the forced abandonment of the b traboard fortifications and of the interior n lililary posts and other estahlishiijents. tl ml the enormous expense ol' recruiting L ml reorganizing ihe nun, ami again (lis n rihuting it over the vast regions which it ow occupies. o These are evils whirl, may, it is true, p e icpaiied hereafter by taxes imposed " n the country, hut other evils are involv " il which no expenditures, however lavish, ? oul.l rcnieJy, in comparison with which *' >eal and personal injulies or interests sink C; ito insignificance.

" In the Territories of Washington and '' )regon numerous bands of Indians are in ' rins and are waging a war of extermiua' on against tlie white inhabitants, and ai- s' liough jur troops are actively carrying '' n tho campaign, we have no intelligence ( 1 s yet of a successful result. On tlm Wes- ! ;rn plains, notwithstanding the imposing ! ispbiy of military force recently made j ucre, >inu uicciiaaiiseiiieui u.nicteu on tlie x, i-bel lions tribes, others far from being dis 0 myed, liavo manifested hostile intention* ? ml Wen guilty of outrages wbieli if not N esigned to provoke a conflict, serve to t, liow that iho apprehension of it is instil i ,, cient wholly t<> restrain their vicious pro- i, ensitics. t| A strong force in the State of Texas lias ti rotlneed the temporary suspension ofhoa k ilities there, but in New Mexico incessi-nt g el ion on the part of the troops is rcrpiir <> d to keep in check the marauding trihes <1 hich infest that territory. The hostile a vidians have not been removed from the a tate of Florida, and tiie withdrawal of li lie troops therefrom, leaving that object h naceomplished, wonhl be most injurious u ) tho inhabitants, and a breach of the u ositive engagenent of the general govern d nent. To refuse supplies to the army, there ire, is to compel the complete cessation | f all its operations, and practical dia- () midinent, and thus to unite hordes of rednlory savages from the Western e Mains and Kocky Mountains to spread ( evastation along a frontier of more than ( inr thousand miles in extent, and to de- , vcr up the sparse population of a vast ^ raet of country to rapine and murder. Such, in substance, would be the direct |j nd immediate effects of the refusal of (l Congress, for the first time in tho history f the government, to grnut supplies?the v levitablo waste ol millions of public treas- p re?ths infliction of extreme wronc nnon o li person* connected vitb the military e* f< ihSiahtnoai, by aeiricc, employment, or ;l antracta*?the recall of our forces from n lie field?the ft-nrful sacrifice of life anil p ^calculable destruction of property on the n emote frontiers?the striking of our na- j ional flag on the battlements of the forrcsses ?liich defend our ninritiine cities . igainst foreign invasion?the. violation of " lie public honor and good faith?and the ? liscredit of the United Slates in the eyes f the civilized world. I confidently trust that these conaidern- !; ions and otiicrs appertaining to the do- fl ficfctie |>eace of the country, which cannot r iil to suggest themselves to every patri- , tic mind, will, on reflection, be duly up- (| recialed by both Houses of Congress, ^ nd induce the enactment of tho requsite n rovisions of law foi the support of the ar- t ly of the United Stales.

CjntLisik, of Spartanburg. would address our citiiens on the subject of Temperance, on Tuesday evening tlic 2Gtli ultimo. We were favored with an opportunity of bearing brm, and we believe that we but endorse the sentiments of the entire audience when we say thnt the address was a most masterly effort in support of the grent cause in which the speak er is embarked, lie stated on the outset that he had nothing new to advance, that the w hole ground in support of the Temperance cause had been long since covered by arguments that might now appear stale, fg|t the enemies of Temperance had brought forward nothing new in opposition; consequently be was forced to follow tde beaten track, that has been explored again and again by the advocates of reformation His manner, however, of treating the subject was new to lis, at least. His remarks were more pointed and seemed better applied to the different phases in w hich this vice has shown itself, than any lecture of the kind that we have c\er heard. Some of his notions in regtud to the effect* of intempcr.it.ee up?n the moral man?his fearful responsibility, and bis future accountability, irrespective, of circumstances or a peculiar idiosyncrasy, were more rigiJ perhaps than we are prepared to endorse,' ut there were but few present we presume, who could r.c: apply with peculiar aptness every illustration of the speaker to some ease or incident, familiar from p< rsonal observation. He discussed the propriety of a prohibitory law, and argued the necessity of some legal restraint upon a traffic, carrying so many evils in its train, and which could w ith as much coii.-istencv be made a penal offence as the crimes of burglary, theft, or any other net avowedly against the peace and safety of society. So far as our own notions extend upon this matter, we believe that the enactment of such a luxv, nl this time, w ould be altogether inexpedient ; nevertheless the people should not shrink from u discussion of it, nor look \\ ith (listrunt upon tlie man who advocates it, from the nns'akcn idea, thai liia aim is to detract from your natural liberty. It is ncherished principle of our republican 40* eminent, that all law connate* from tli.* people, and ti c enacting of ^ prohibitory law in ?*'outli Carolina, can only be dot e through your consent, nnd by your direetion. Any dxxiation from ibis principle, by those \x ho represent you iu the councils of your State, is done at the peiil cf your honest indignation, and is sure to receive a tcrtible reckoning at your hands. You can perceive at once, the absurdity of the to lion xxhich couples (Iu* prohibitory laxv in your minds, xxith the idea that your rights are to he invaded. We presume that the friends of the measure, only require of yon at this time, a free and op< n discussion of its merits; it is ceil..inly advocated with the honest xiexv of promoting the public good, and xv I.en you have given it your careful consideration, and thoroughly weighed every argnnioi t '.11 favor or rguiu*t it, you can receive it or reject it, rs your sense of its practicability may decide. It is impossible to do justice to Prof. Caiu.im.k's address in this brief notice, nor will x?e attempt it. We ran cheerfully subscribe to l.is distinguished character its an orator, nnd vxe venture that Lancaster will lie hi ppy at any time to hear him disco** lh?< prohibitory Intv. or any other matter connected w ith the temperance reformation ABOLITIONISM.

This remark of the Timet hnu doae more to encourage the mbid nnd sggressivo spirit of our cuemies.tbnn hundreds of stronger declamations from the Northern press.

The Charleston Mer ury, and other papers in the State, have ' pressed the Timet for the proof when on its assertion was founded, but as vet no satisfactory luridalion of the mysten has been elicited. The Timer points them to circumstances connected with purt'ea and elections I tn Missouri and elsewhere, for the truth of its position; but one sentence in the reply of the Timet when first Attacked by the .Vrrrrry, proves very conclusively to oar mind, that these scattering references, nre so many snhtcifugrs to draw attention from ' lite libritpf gnrruods wpoo vnkMt hi* InrtJ [ assertion wm based. The Timet nakl in re to the Mtrcury r " We have exhibited to several gentlemen of high position, proof sufficient to* warrant .vhnt we have wntien, nnd did we think it ' proper for us to do Kit, we would publish them." Now what arc these proofs to which the | Timei does not think proper to give publicity ? Arc they connected with mattcra in ' Missouri, Arkansas, KentiicVey.or any State ' aside from South Carolina 1 Would the | Times from prudential reasons conceal any ! abolition tcn<tcncics known to exist in these , States ? The Idea is not probable, and the inference is clear that the extraordinary allusion is to South Carolina?perhaps to the i Very heart of our State! (Jut with the ' proofs I Whom do they effect ? Where do they exist? For Lancaster District, we ' can say that no man within her limits, with any pretensions to the claims of respectable j citizenship, is unsound on the subject of I slavery. Can the Tim*a say the same of RichInt d ? Something was said during the ' past Spring, of the unsoundness of men occupying high nnd responsible positions in i our State. Does the Times allude to these?

That the Htatca of thia Confederacy are sovereign, and untitled to equal right*, under the eohatiiution. 2d That rnrroachuenta upon those right* howId he met by a determined resistance. 3d. That the territories are the common property of all U?e tftatf*, and open a* well * to wrnptlibt by the slaveholder with his slaves, as by the frccaoiler without them. 4 th. That the occupation of thein by hirelings, through Emigrant Aid Societies* in a fraud upon this right, nud may legitimately be resisted by violence. 5th. That tho Knimtia-Nvbmskn Aet is but an honest recognition of the equality of the States, and sot a concession to any portion of them. Gth. That it is desirable the rights of the States should be preserved in the I'nion,and that every possible effort should Ite intulu to inaintnin its integrity, eonniatent therewith. "7tli. That all difference* of opinion between Representatives from southern Ktutca, upon minor points of expediency, should be merged in the rese-hitfons adopted by their common councils; and, when they resolve to act in reaisiencu io ?ggros?dc:;, outside the Union. the whole South should present an undii ided front. 8lh. That the vote of South Carolina, through her Representatives, should be so tinit on all the questions uovv agitating the country. 9th. That the Democratic party is the only national party now in existence with us, nnd the success of it will g,o very far to ensure the triumph of the constitution, ami the permanence of the Union.
