Grand Division of Sons of Temperance.
We learn from an eve witness that the
Slate Convention of the Sons of Temperance
was a iiihgi'y gratifying one to its
members. At both Chester atul York
their meetings were Aiilv attended.
The Convention met atChesti r on Tuesday,
and continued in deliberation thro'
a part of Wednesday. On Tuesday it
was addressed by the Uov. J. It. Tickott
and J. II. lludson. imil on
liy Messrs. A. M. Kennedy, Del'ass and
Judge O'Neill. All of iho speakers, we
learn, took decided ground in favor of pro
hibition. On Wednesday llie delegates
attended with a great deal of respect and
attention to a very sumptuous repast, at
the Nicholson IJotise, given by the order.
On Wednesday evening about o o'clock
they left or. a crowded car for Yorkville.
In tho evening there was a public reception
of the Grand Division; they were
welcomed to Yorkville by tbe W. 1*, of
King's Mountain Division; which was
responded to by Mr. Summer ii. an able
and eloquent address. On Thursday
about 11 o'clock a procession comprising
soma fourteen Divisions of Sons, Daughters
and Cadets of Ten* perance was form
ed and proceeded under escort to a grove
with temporary benches, where. Judge
O'Neall iu his usually impressive and
shunning style,in an address of about two
hours length, bv argument and anecdote,
discoursed upon them, and urged the ne
cessity of a prohibitory law.
A pic nic, prepared for tho occasion
then became the object of an onslonght
conducted with peculiar energy, and participated
in by all present, a crowd of
some five or six thousand ; quite a formidable
army i" n" an attack of that kind.
Yet, so well had been the preparations,
that the tables survived with a bcuntiful
supply still remaining on them.
After which the procession reformed
and marched back to their several division
rooms, under the handsome escort of
tho Cadets of the Military School, upwards
of eighty in rank, under the command
of Capt Jenkins.? Winusloro livyister.
Mosquitoes in Florida.?Tho Kcv
West correspondent of tho Charleston

speaking of mosquitoes, which, since the
late heavy rains, have become \ery troublesome
on the Key, says:
In the everglades these pests of Sotttlieru
life are frightfully abundant. At Fort
Dallas they are 60 plentiful that both officers
and u.on ravo ; the guard or. duty
j^iss their whole lime under bars. The
sentry is provided with a mosquito veil,
or rather bag thrown over the head, and
kept out from the face bv a hoop ; wool
eu olothes, boots, and gauntlytcd gloves
protect the iitnbs and body from their
murderous attacks. Persons who have
not experienced this beauty of Southern

cattle are actually bl.-il ?r> .l > ??1.

Crin'omnb.?'lho New York L>ay
Book has a very sensible editorial on
hoops, from which we adopt the following
extract i
With a certain New York cotemporary
we aro glad to see that the adoption of
this healthy and graceful article of dress
is almost universal, and we hope to witness
the day when every American lady
will conform to the custom.
The women of the present generation
have already reaped immense advantages
from the general use of the crinoline ; and
kntfwing that fact, they have defied ridicule
and scorned newer fashions. Even
the Empress Eugenie, who unwittingly
blessed her sex by making it tho mode,
lias vainlv attemnted to int reduce n fredi.
?r style. If the Indies will stand by the
light crinoline, and still dispense with'
eight out of the ten skirts they were wont
to wear, tho generation yet to come will
be healthier and sttonger, consumption
and disease* of the chest will bo fewer,
lifj will be longer, and nature better fitted
for all tho duties which pertain to the
wife and the mother in a civilized community.
Sum MART J ffiTrcK.? \V? learn through
a friend, that the Vigilant Society of Florence,
on the Wilmington and Manchos
ter Railroad, recoBtly -punished with the
lash, two individuals named Dicker and
Coopek, wlio had been charged with no
grotrading, stoaling etc., ami who l?ad
had notice from the Society to seek their
residences in some other <]tiarter. We
learn that tho jnah was applied with no
light hand, and that tho degraded recipients
immediately took their departure.
A few more Bitch doses, administered
by this very efficient and useful society,
wo doubt not, would thoroughly purge
and relieve that section from all such
^^corrupting and destroying Influences. It
but dealt out even-handed justice,

| SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION.
We attended a Sunday School Celebra|
tion at the Methodist Church on Wednesday
evening last, designed we suppose, to
] encourage in the pupils n fondness for this
| species of cduvntion and to exhibit someI
thing of the progress they had made.
Mr. A. Mayer 4'iliciatfd as Superintendant
j of tile School. Tlio Rev. A. II. Stephens,
| of I ho Methodist Church.delivered a nhort
I extempore address, in which ho alluded very
i truthfully and appropriately to the rcuponj
sihiiitics which rest ii[)on those who under.
i take, as Sunday School teachers, the moral
i and religious culture of youthful minds.?
A parents duties arc scarcely higher and
more imj ortant than those of Sabbath
School instructors, who must study the
characters of those whom they effect to
guide, and turn to account numerous opportunities
for inculcating truth and duty, tin'
important apparently, but which may exert
a decided influence ia making up the characters
of the pupils. Mr. Stephens' remarks
were happily conceived arid drew forth
earnest attention, assisted in their efl'ect by
In pointed, bold and eloquent delivery.
Rev. Mr. J. O. I,iudsay, of the Presbytej
iinn Church, being p*f?^entwas requ?*?ted
1 to offer some remarks, with which request
; he complied, through courtesy, ns he stated,
nnd not tit it lie deemed any thing more ivaa
needed, lie was also reluctant to deta in
the juveniles longer from the feast in the
way of n l'ie Nie prepared for them, perspective
visions of which, were doubtless
floating through their minds. His ronyirks
' were good and interesting, delivered in n
very plain manner, principally addressed to
the children and interspersed with appropriatc
illustrations. Wo hope that the children,
who deemed to listen attentively, will
not soon forget what was said. Treasure
it in your memory, nnd in after Hfe, it utny
prove a treasure indeed to you.

After the exercises were over, Mr. Mayer
informed those assembled that a pic-nic
was in readiness for them out m the grove
near by, and extended a general invitation
to pnrtako of it. The congregation then
repaired to the grovo to do justice to this,
by no means tbe least important, part of
the ceremonies. Our time being otlierwiao
engaged, wo could not follow the procession
to the grove, but understand that the
pic-nic was well enjoyed, being both nbiindant
and handsomely arranged with decencies
and comforts for the inner man. We

: A NEW FEATURE IN AFRICAN
SLAVERY!
An article on our first page credited to
I the New Orleans I'lcm/uue, and entitled ;
i "the same thing under another name," will j
! bo found of interest as referring to the
new scheme that British philanthropists
are considering, to encourage "African emi- |
gralion" to hci West li .din possessions and
other tropical regions, where she lias found
j hy experience, that no other than negro la- j
i bor can bo made available. France, Spain I
J and l'oitugal will be p irties to this project,
which is no more th in a barefaced scheme
i for imposing upon the credulity of the '
WSrld by mystifying terms and concealing i
; its ical intent and purpose. It is in fact i
! nothing else than a system of African slavej
rv, and that in its very worst form.
i s . .
} Kngland is beginning to feel seriously '
I tl;e lark of labor in certain ol her posses- ;
i tions, and having traced the scarcity of
tropica! products.sncli as Cotl'ce,Rice,Sugar,
Cotton &tc.. to this cause, she is driven to j
expedients for supplying the deficiency.?
The term ''.slavery" is distasteful to her and !
the plan under consideration, is to employ |
free labor oi/.rj/i"i/ from lha s tmc mirke's. |
"Recognize at onec the wants of tropical !
agriculturalists, and the capacity and apti ;
' tude of the blacks, establish emigration i
| agencies in Africa, provide suitable vessels j
for the passage, make voluntary contracts. I
.sec to proper facilities for return, get the
services of the African on fair conditions,
and so drive slavery out of the field alto!
gethcr by putting an end to the exigencies
f which maintained it."
The voluntar) labor of the African, is :
I an absurd theory and can never be reduced I
I to practice. They may impose upon the ! 1
i ignorance and credulity of the African? I
| by a fc\v trinkets and baubles and the prom, t '
| ise of nominal wages, induce hint to bind | '
himself for ten, fifteen or twenty years, as i 1
i the case may be. Such is the plan -propos- \'
| ed. and what is it hut slavery? For the po
rind prescribed, the hirer has unlimited eon* .
trol of the person of the negro. It is suit- I .
fltantially the same course pursued by Bril*
ish "philanthropists" towards the Chinese ' ^
Coolies, w liieii resulted in a species of slave- ^
ty infinitely more revolting to humanity I
than the African slave trade ever was. in its
worst forms. These pretended "free labor- j
ers" would in fact he the most wretched i
slaves, subject to the will of n capricious I (
master, who has r.o furtlier interest i:i thetn
than pertains to the extent of their bondage;
I 1
and when these deluded victims have nerved ^
out their time, how mnnv of them will have '
I '
| saved sufficient to support their families, !
[ if they have any, or themselves in their old J
age ? 'l'heir masters have fulfilled their !
I part of tho eontraet?have paid their I
[ vvnjft'S, ami are under no furthwr uhliyiilun*
to support them.
Knglaiid is seeking to redeem too one !
I miserable and fa al mistake of hers in ubol- 1
ishing slavery in her West India posses- :
sions. tvhen sho sank millions upon mil lit lis 1
] of capital avowedly for the purpose of as- j
stinging oppressed humanity, when in fact, I
it tended to and effected really opposite re- ,
: suits. Hlie seeks to redeem it, not by an j
I open acknowledgment of her error, but by j
j a species of slavery, which bn.s all of the j
distasteful features of tlio other, with none j
! of its redeetllincr considerations
RUSSELL'S MAGAZINE.
The number lor August, which is the j
| fifth of Russell's Magazine, has been re? |
ceived. We have not been at leisure to 1
examine it with care, but from a hasty ;
glance at it, we are induced to believe thai
it is fully uj> to, if not superior to the other j
numbers. Wo find in the Charleston \
(Courier, a review as follows of a portion
of the oontents of litis number ;
"The opening article is devoted to the
letter of the Evangelical Churches of (ion- i
! ova, to their brethren and friends in the |
United States, which bears date of March
3l?t^4H.07. and kindly undertakes to give
advice on the subject of slavery.
The bad temper and worse logic of this I
"evangelical" epistle of interference, arc
keenly exposed by the reviewer, who is
thoroughly possessed of his theme, and understands
all the eonditions of agreeable and j
expressive communication with his renders. !
It is not pertinent or proper to conjecture J
authorship in such cases, but we think ob- j
I servant readers will detect in the reply of
Dr. D. At.m :nf. and his associates of(iciic.

i appetite in reading.

i critique is devoted to I'ortek's semi-cmi

JhVLrnary, IS57?a deserved tribute to an
! "oration," which, in its masterly and ado- j
quale treatment of a great theme, has ad{
ded something of intrinsic and permanent
value to our literature.
A new feature, which judicioutly and dis- i
oriminatingly applied, cannot fail in securing I
approval, lias been introduced in this num. ;
| her, and this is a chapter of "European Cor- i
j respondence." The first chapter well jus- ,
j tifies the adoption of this measure.
] The article, tierhnn*. which will h? mn?l 1
I eagedy and generally perused in tho forth'
coming Usue, will be "The Duel," n (li.wquinition
in reply, substantially nnd logically,
but without direct controversial statements
or repetition, to the essay in tho May number,
which has excited general attention.?
There was but one ppinion, we believe, as
the ability ar.d logical dexterity of the essay
referred to, which was inserted by the
editors, as stated, in a recognition of the <
privileges and benefits of unfettered <*iscussion.
The reply in Ilia August number
will be studied and scrutinized with
eager interest by all who have Ultvu any '
interests pi the questioq.

Muxican Affair*.?The Aspinwall
i Courier, of July i 1, says ,?
From a fully reliable source, wo learn
that the rumor respecting the probability
of the return of Santa Anna to Mtxicoia
based upon facia of the most important
/ littruPfi'l* W ? n r/? fiifnotrtrol ' 1?a?o *" "* -**
doubt that Captain General Concha, of
Cuba, has made a contract with Santa
Anna to provide the latter with three ves
sols ol war and from 1,500 to ft,0l)0 mer.
expense* to be paid ly Santa Anna, with
which ho is to endeavor to take Comonfort's
place, and that sulmeijiiently Santa
Anna is to satisfy the demands of Spain
again-t Mexico. .The contract is signed,
and the only question is, whether Spain
authorized Concha to niaka tho bargain.
Of this we think there ean he but little
doubt. If t)iis work is to be done, tbe
sending of an additional naval force to
Cuba, to protect it against tflVUnited
States, was no idle precaution.
