Some of these, including "One word more" from tlio Camden Journal, on the Railroad, will be published next week. To CoRUKsroKOENT "'P.

Dunlap &, Co, report a large and varied stock of New Good-, just received from New York. Sec their advertisement in to-days paper, and govern yourselves accordingly. Return Day?Saturday last was Return Day for this District. The Return, in point of the number of cases, are about as usual for the Fall Teriu. The Clerk's and Sheriffs books show about Eighty-live cases, including Writs, Processes and Acceptances. The cases are generally unimportant. Free Schools.?M. P. Crawford, Esq., Chairman of the Hoard of Free Schools foi this District has left at our oftico for distii billion among Teachers, a number of forms showing the manner in which teacher's accounts should be prepared for presentation to the Road. To those of our District teachers w ho are not familiar with the proper form, tbi-v would hi> ?i>rvii?i?ili!.i f'.ill arid get one. Incendiauism.?We learn with inuch regret of the loss by tire, on Sunday night last, of the valuable .Mills of IV. J. Cureton Esq., on the Cntnw ba river, in this District. Four or five hundred bushels of wheat, besides some corn and a considerable quantity of flour, were consumed with the Mill. The Mill had not been in operation since Saturday nnd there had been no tiro on the premises for weeks. These and other cirstanees have given rise to the belief that the Are was the work of an incendiary. Our next Paper. In order that the result of the election and a full statement of Polls may be announced through our next paper, its publication will be delayed until Wednesday afternoon. Persons who may bo here on Wednesday from the respective neighborhoods of Dry Creek, Long Street, Russell Place. Liberty Ilill, and Red Iliil, will do us a favor, nnd ulso oblige their neighbors, if they will call on Wednesday evening and get the packages for those offices. The mail for that route leaves Wednesday morning, and unless their papers can be sent by band, subscribers along suid route will be delayed ooo week. The detention of a half day will interfere with no other mail that leaves this place. i * A Complete Refutation. It is wi?li plcnsuie that we refer to the Card in another part of this paper, whieh successfully vindicates the Rev. Mr. Edwards against the charges referred to in a Card published last week, signed ' Waxhaws." The gentlemen who investigated these charges are of the first respectability. This community, so fur as we know it, en tertains not the slightest suspicions against Mr. Edwards, and never {has. The object of calling out the report of the investigating committee, we understand, was that the injurious rumors may be contradicted in other quarters w here it may be in circulation, and where Mr. E. is less known. If any of our exchanges copied the Card of "Waxhaws," they will please likewise eopy the report in this paper to which it referred. Gen. Walker. The report of the execution of Gen. Walker is contradicted by a dispatch to the Charleston Mercury,dated September 26th, New Orleans. It reads: "By an arjivnl here we learn that Gen. Walker has not been shot as was reported. The commander of the English nran-of>vnr fcarus delivered up Wnlker and his men on the express condition that none of them should be executed, otherwise the British honor would ho compromised. Gen. Walker surrendered quietly to the British on the Rio Negro. His men were almost naked, and in a starving condition. 'I he abf ve report is contradicted by a later, as follows : "New Orleans, September 28.?By the British steamer Gladiator, we k-... r..il ?s j -* p.n uvuiiirs ui wie iriigic end OI WiC flllibuster,General William Walker, flaring been duly sentenced to be shot, lie was led out. on tlie 12th init , by the flonduran troop* to be executed, lie fell struck by ten shot*.

Mecklenburg Fsin.?The Mecklenburg Agricultural Fair (says the Charlotte Democrat) will be held on the 3 1st of Cctober and continue three days. It is understood, we believe, that Jus. il.

Messrs. Mobley, Black and Clark were of opposed to separate Stale action under ex- buj isting circumstances. Messrs. Ruliedge and nut Williams thought the discussion ol' that erei matter at this time premature and unnecer- ( ! sary. ins All were in favor of the Central Railroad dre and pledged themselves to look to its in be terest in the Legislature. Some of them nut announced that they had proved their de- be yoliou to this cherished enterprise by a sub- Tin scription in its favor to tbo extent of their in t means. pre Mr. Moblev waived a discussion of the are Itinerant Salesmen's Act, but is known to int< be opposed to it.

Cajj freemen submit 0 such a dire calamity as this Never ! no, e*er ! Unless We are recreant to the blojd j f our ancestors of the revolution, falsu to urselves, nnd traitors to our Country? rhich I never can believe. The electjon of ?incolti should be resisted at once, by Hie roiupt and immediate secession of the outtu rn Stales, or as tosnv of them, as ill secede nod the formation of a Southern Confederacy for the preservation,protection lid defence of their property, their honor, heir rights und their liberties. As to the question of the reparole seces* ion of South Carolinn, I think it pr.-mature ml unwise, to discuss it ut this particular line, before the contingency upon which it 1 predicated, bus happened ; its discussion .onId be calculated to sow di**eu:iou? and ivision among us, which would he nriuluc ve ot' no unrlh'y good, but of niistthivrous ' onsequciice, whereas, w u should he united inonjf ourselves.

I also link it especially, premature and unwise, i discuss tlie question of the supat..to sc* r-isioil of South t aroliuu at tlie pi esviit | e tiers I elections for members to the Legis- | iluie, inasmuch, us the Legislature has not ! lie power to secede, and cannot scc*do from j lie Union. The only power that the Leg- i dature possesses, touching the question of 1 o operation, or independent secession, is. j he power to call a Convention of the penle of tlie State, and to that body, alone, elonga the power when trailed, of seceding ii co-action, with the other Southern States, r scpurule uud alone, in the event of a fail- j re to obtain co-operrtion. And if elected, hall vote for the call of a Convention, to liable the people of the District to dueidu 1 or themselves, at the election of Delegate! o said I .'(invention, upon the questions of) o-operative secession, and separate State clion ; lor they alone have the power to lecide the stinrc And when that election j i>kea place, then will Ik- the proper liuie or the candidates for seats in lliut convei. ion, us well as others, to discus* the quee? ipri of secesMi.n in all it* pliiuses ; and vhen tliut time comes, my position relative hereto will be fully made known.
