WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 3, 1800
Crowded Out.?Several news items and
(elected articles si t up for this paper, have
been crowded out. Some of these, including
"One word more" from tlio Camden Journal,
on the Railroad, will be published next
week.
To CoRUKsroKOENT "'P. C."?The Curd
to which yours is a reply was published as
an nd\ertisenieut and over the real name ol
the author. Yours, it'you desire it, will be
admitted under like conditions.
More New Goops.?J. I.. 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

and continued cheering. 11 in corpse was
decently buried by the foreigners at Truxillo,
the natives refusing i.bsolutely to take
any part in the obsequies Col Itudler, the
associate of Wnlker. has be? n tried and
sentenced to four years' close confinement."
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. Witherspoon, Ksq.,
of (.ancaster, S. C., wjl! deliver an Address
on the occasion.

Mr. Moblev waived a discussion of the are

Jlack ltcpublic.it Candidate for the l'reah- '

inrlv, openly and boldly avowed, and prolaitued,
"that the* will never cvase the ngtntion

ivert act, ami a declaration u( war, upon <
lio Constitutional rights of the people ot i
lie South, and thtir Domestic Institutions, 1 <
ubversive of llio Coiutjtution and the ;
quality of the Slues, and should be met
ind resisted by a corresponding boldness,
nd courage by the people of the SonUi.?
Vo submit to the iiauguralion of l.imroln
nto office; with the Treasury, Army, and |
Javy under his control and the whole poar
ami patronage of the Government nl his '
ominand, and then wait for a still further |
ivert act, would err. long, be the final doom j
if Slavery, ami inevitable destruction of
bur Billions worth of property in slaves, at
>ne fell swoop, thereby spreading general
uin and bankrupicy throughout the South;
lesidea, turning loose upon us lour millions
if free Negroes, upon a state of equality
litli the white race. 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. Our policy 'h io crniocrl
leiuures of united action with I lie other
lontbern States for our tnu*u^| defence,
gainst our couiti)on enemies, wliu are baned
together, as one man against u*, threatnitig
our pence, our safety, our liberties,
nd our property ; and I have every ronJj.
enee in the spirit and patriotism of the
lotion Stales, that they a ill never submit
> the foul domination of llhick Republican
i!e, and they will secede from the Union,'
i the event of Lincoln's election. 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
