The Harvest
We regret very much to learn from various
parts of the District since the harvesting
of crops has begun, that the worst apprehensions
of farmers felt during the
drought in July and August, have been fully
realized, and that not more than half
crops, generally, of corn and cotton will be
made. The early frosts of this season have
tended materially tp shorten llie cotton
crop. Some sections will full considerably
below a bait' crop ; others will do better.
Suflicient corn has not been made to furnish
the District, and where the supplies are
to come from, is tjie <)po>t;on. Hud we n
railroad ppmippnication with the business
world it could be easily answered, and this
fuc,t alone should stimulate us to renewed
exertion to have the Central Knilroud eotiiplotcd
as speedily as possible.
The Legislature.
The Special Session of the Legislature
called for llie purposu ot casting the vote
of the Stale tor President ana Vice-President
pf the .United States, commences on
Monday, 5th November. The general im
prcssion, as show 11 through the newspapers,
is that the extra-session will be continued
until the regular Session. Should it be ascertained
that Lincoln is elected, grave tnaL
ters will couie up for the consideration of
the Legislature, and which will require time
Jor cnlui deliberation. The Charleston
Courier believes that aside from the I'residonlbi)
electing nn,d .its Results, the Special
Electoral Session will be protracted into
the regular, because of the many grave
questions of State interest no\v pending,
which will require more time for deliberation
tjian js usually given to legislation in
this State.
M. M
In accordance with a notice previously
given, n branch of the organization known
as Minute Men, was formed at this place
pp Sqtji.'.duy Inst. The company consists of
about forty tqeqihers apii ip dpily increasing,
in spite of the croakipgs of certain fault
fipders who see in this movement the ghost
of tjio nullification excitement of '32.
"Southern Constitutional equality in the
Union" or "Independence out of it" is the

the company :

The Canvass in New York.
The Merchants of tyew York city nrc
making herculean etforts to defeat Lincoln
in ihnt Slate. This, as much #s n*y indi.
cations observed nearer home, jndopes jo us
the hope that the South will resist in tlie
event of Lincoln's election. These merchants,
who are wide awake to the course whi^h
event* arc inking, (inuiKlesfl llnnK no, of
they would nut make such prodigious endenvors
to avert the causes upon which ihe
Swulh threatens to dissolve tlie Union. It
is Maid tlmt William 11. Aster alone contributed
one iiiillion of dollars, and from other
wealthy sources large sums have been
rained. And (Ium money in to be used in
buying up votes to def-nt Lincoln. What
s snd commentary upon the principles and
morals of the people of Ihe Kuipire Slate !
If it has come to thjs, that the equulity of
the South in tho Union hps to be bought
and paid for by thQ: a who fatten upes
Southern patronage, it were far bpller for
the South, and more honorable to all cou
eerned, that the issue of disunion be solved
at once, und the South, either ussert her in*
dependence and disgust of such craven {
fiieDdsbipt or how her ueck to the y< ko
whi?h^Hor<-r?r and his hosts are weaving forj
Will Lincoln be Elected t
This is the absorbing <mestion of the
day, nud yet there are comparatively few
among us who are bcdd enough to look the
affirmative aide of it squarely in the face. It j
is conceded that thcro is but the single I
State of New Vork that stands between |
him and a certainty of success ; upon New
York then testa the sole hope of the South,
and how fallacious this hope is may he inferred
from ttie fact that New York has
gone Uepublican for lite two last success^
ive elections, and the Uepublican gains in
States adjoining, where elections hive
recently been held, have been far beyond
our worst apprehensions. So that the.chances
are lurirelv in lavorof Lincoln, and tho
sooner the South begins to assume that lie
will be elected the better.
Some of the States and that portion of
the South generally which is inclined to
I resist under any circumstances, have said
that the circumstance of the election of a
Olnck Republican to the Presidency will bo
sutlicu-ut indication of the hostile purposes
of the Government in respect to slavery to
warrant the South in withdrawing from the
Union. This is the issue upon which it is
proposed to ut ile the South lor Iter own1
protection Will it succeed?will the South
dissolve the Union in this contingency ??
If such is our purpose why this reluctance
to look into the futuie?why is there manifested
such irresolution and seeming indifference
when the enemy Is about to advance
to the very point where we have said lie
could not go with impunity ! We should
bo setting our house in order if we in?
tend to do annytliing. Governments can- I
not be changed ami revolutions cannot I
take place without the etl'ects being ti ll by |
every ciliy.cn in every relation of life. No
man, whatever may be hi* position or call*
ing, can hope to escape a share of the consequences
to ensue from a disruption of the
Government. What these consequences
may he, time only can unravel ; we should
be making up our minds to meet them, be
they great or small, There is but one way
to avert them nt)d that is by a quiet submission
to Lincoln1* administration. If we determine
to submit the only immediate danger
that we need apprehend js an occasional
outbreak among our servile population,
either by poisoning, burning or some other
species of atrocity, done through the insti
Ration of abolition emisaries. No one at I
all familiar witli the history of the times
for the last few months can fail to understand
that there is u settled system of underground
manoeuvring at work by which
the institution of slavery is to b?; uiudo a
eurse aqd tprrcr to the whites of the South.
And finally, when wo are subdued by fear
for our lives and the institution is circumscribed
nnd becoming daily more unprofitable,
then we will be in a very lilting condition
to submit to universal emancipation,
S.. Domingo and ds horrors vvi|! reveal tho
rest.
If we do not like the picture which the
resistance game conjures up, the evils ol
submission are far worse. The first will bo
but temporary and will result in independence
and prosperity. The last will be permanent
and result in ultimate ruin and degradation.
True the dangers involved in
submission are perhaps not so near at hand
nni many of the present generation may
never experience their full intensity, but w?
have no right to transmit to posterity evils
which we pap by prompt and united action
avert, liven tlie beasts instinctively guard
their young from linrm and should we be less
mindful of the interests of our children ??
The question is pressed upon us end "0
should meet it ; we have no rjght to adjourn
it to posterity. Whether the future of the
South is to be one of independence and
prosperity, or t|)e rpverae, wjll in n'l probability
be determined within a few months.
The whole question rests with the people
and it is time they were making up their
minds upon it. Take the question in any
uspcct we may, either as one of principle or
interest, and we are admonished by the
signs of the limes to preparation ami resistance.
if we subsist in the Union, it must
bent the bare mercv and will of a sectional
majority, ;i condition of things Hint in incompatible
with the existence of civil and
political liberty. With the power of the
Federal Government in the hand* of the
party whose purpose and determination it
is to oppress and degrade us, there remains
no guaranty for the protection of our rights
and interests. The South must look to herself
alone, uurf the condition of inferiority
and vassnllagu m which her enemies design
to subject her can only he averted by a
prompt and united effort of resistance on
the part of her people. A dissolution of the
Union is the only remedy fjr the difficulties
that are about to overwhelm us, nud it is a
remedy that has no ter;ors for the South if
she will act unitedly l.et us with one mipd
prepare for the Ides of November and be
ready to meet the result of the Presidential
election, whether it he for or ngaip?t uy.

How a Supply of Corn may be Had I
A coi respondent of tlie Laurensville Herald
writes from Clark county* Missouri, to
that paper, nnd suggests to the citizens of
this, his native Stale, a plan by which they
I can purchase a supply of grain at a very j
reasonable price. The suggestion is cer- '
tailily entitled to consideration. The great- j
oat obsticlc in the way of our District prof- ,
iting bv it is, that we have no railroad faoilties
at our doc,rs ; but if w e can get corn j
delivered at Camden, or Rock Hill, at GO
cents .per bushel, it will be better than to
pay *l.'2d at home, and perhaps not j
able to get it at that. The plan referred I
to is as follows :
Let the citizens of each District where there
iu n ..t' r.? I I. ..Ill !
s....... m.iu ..grim iinivr
to Illinois, Iowa or Missouri. Lot the u- !
gents go toy Keokuk, Alexandria. Warsaw, !
Canton and Quincy, and advertise that they |
will give 20 cents per bushel for corn, de- I
livered at the above named cities ; and by J
the time the river opens in the spring, they
will hav.o corn sufficient to supply the demand
in South Cjaolina The Ireight on
grain, from the above named cities, is 7
cents per bushel to St. Louis, from St. Lou- :
is to New Orleans 10 cents per bushel, and |
from New Orleans to Charleston 10 cents
per bushel, making the cost of freight 27
cents per bushel. By pursuing this course 1
corn will not cost no re than tit) cents per :
OUshei, when delivered at Laurens C. IS.
This fall \till be the best time to purchase.
Corn is only worth about 10 cents
per hushei in the lie Id, 15 cents in the crib
and 20 eents when delivered at the river,
sacks excepted.
Coi.s. Oku and Ashmore.?We learn
from the iirtenrille I'atrint that Cols. Orr ;
| and Ashmore addressed the citizens of
I Greenville a few days since upon the politics
tif the dav. Col. Orr had no hope of
the defeat of Lincoln, but would counsel
i no hasty action on the part of the State.?
| South Carolina should not withdraw alone.
He (11Hi'rod Irom others in the opinion that
our Legislature should en|l tor a Conven*
lion of tlie people as soon as it was ascertained
that Lincoln was elected. He thought
it would be wiser and more prudent that
Commissioners should be appointed to go
to and consult with the other Southern
States and ascertain the course they intended
to pursue under the circumstances, so
that there might be a conceit of action.
Col. Aslimore also thought Lincoln would
be elected, and counselled that the Stale
should put herself iuto a position of resistance.
The Mani.nonot,'oh Affair.?The following
extract from a letter written from
llennellsvillu to the So alii Can,Union,
shows tluit ditchings, lately on trial at that
place na an abolitionist, lias been acquitted:
"The auppospd abolitionist, J. K. I limbing*
whom uo have bad up for examination and
trial as nn abolitionist, ha i been released
for wnnt of sufficient evidence to convict
hint. The ; ublic mind is, however, not entirely
satisfied.but that he should have been
dealt with more harshly ; yet, as this was
not very clear, ho has been allowed to depnrt
the State, with proper cautions, should
he be found here again.

At Home, October, 18G0.
When fire is necessary for the comfort of
the southern tourist, it is time he should retrace
his steps?the thermometer admonishes
hun to return to his sunny home?
such was the state of the weather when I
left Saratoga ; winter clothing and tires
were altogether pleasant, in fact, indispensable.

: Is fhis you John Collin ? "I guess

nine besides the one at the breast. On an
other occasion while looking at a fine, tat,
and very large calf, the owner was usked

and one day old." A primitive specimen
stunding by. exclaimed, ' I guess he has
sucked the Kemo all the time ! I thought
he had guessed correctly. Upon leaving
Saratoga J left behind some very lovely acquaintances
and valued friends, njtii the

My first stopping pojnt was the city of
Troy, at the head of tide navigation on the
Hudson. It contains a population of about
45.000?is a busy city with considerable
manufacturing establishments ; a great quantity
of railroad iron is prepared here ; also,
any quantity of stavea ; many of the fine
cars are made here. It is the scut of tne
female seminary established near 40 years
since by Mrs. Williard?rail roads run in
every direction?the Depot is an immense
building. I was bothered to tir.d the car.
(there was so many coming and going)
which would convoy nie to Albany, but I
did got aboard the right one and was noon
in Albany, which is the capitol of the State.
It has a population of about sixty thouHund.
Having been in Albany several tapes j did
not 'circulate," except in accompanying the
agreeable ;uid intelligent Mrs. 8., of Texas,
to tho Stale House. Albany was first settled
by the Hutch in about Itilt. The
"wide awakes" were out drilling after tea,
preparatory for a rousing demonstration
which was to come off thp np.U night, in
j which the Itlock Republican*; from the nor
I rounding cities and towns wee lu bp pres.

] sengers have a choice of routes, either hy
[ (lie llndson River, Rail Road, along the
banks of the river, or by the Harlem road,
j passing near the Mass-iehusetts and Con.
| nrctieut line and probably through a small
portion of those Slates, or then by the day
or night steamboat*. I preferred the day
boat, so as to enjoy the lovely picturesque
and romantic scenery of the Hudson. The
| scenery will alwsys be beautiful however
often the trip is repented, it in of that character
Uinl never will cloy the appetite or
taste. It was the regular day for the Steamer
Armenia, and the pusseirgers yt going
to the river were congratulating themselves
on the fine boat, we were to have, and the
tine and delightful music we were to enjoy
from her "Calliope." Hut what a disap
poinltnenl ! She had broken her shaft the
trip before and her place was supplied by
one of the Smith family,not however John,
but the "Isaac Smith." It was not so large,
line or fast as the boat we expected, but it
took us through a littie behind time. We
had quite a crowd on hoard, among the
passengers were Chancellor Donkin and lady
and grandson C. K. linger, and my fair
Tcxiuii friend and Iter lather, all of whom I
had iiK'l ai Saratoga. I was therefore not
u stranger and hud no occasion to "scrape
up" other acquaintances. Rut on a bont is
a convenient place to "scrape up" acquaintance*,
passengers couiu in contact ho often
that good talkers will be exchanging ideas
and before they get through a pleasai t acquaintance
is "scraped up." The navigation
of the Hudson is closed by the ice
from about the middle of December to the
middle of March?then the communication
on the river is hy the Hudson Kivcr Kail
Road, which is about lice leet above the
mean tide. At the West I'oint landing,
(one of the stopping plaees,) I was stand
ing on the stern of the boat with many
others, looking at the passeiigera going oil'
and getting on, a party of friends whom I
had left at Saratoga ami did not expect to
be uiong for sevcrai days, had changed
their intentions and come down by rail road
that morning, and had just taken their seats
in the omnibus to go up to West l'oinl.hut
soeiug our boat in sight were waiting to
take in other passenger-; thev saw me, boxv
ed and waved their handkerchiefs ; hut
there I stood like a statute, not rernirnizinir
or acknowledging I lie salutation. Upon being
toiii ol il by tbv party in the city I protouted
tiiat i did not know it wns them, that
I had no right to ox poet tlioin (from their
programme w hen we parted) at that time
or place, and that I did not regard the salutation
as intended tor me ; that they had
the advantage, tor they knew I was to he
on Hie boat that morning, and I thought
they were to he in Saratoga mid not at
West I'oint. Of course I asked pardon for
such statute like incivility and if i believed
it was not forgiven I would Miss M and
Miss J. here repent it. Hut I know that
forgiveness holds a large place in each of
your lovely dispositions and that the abstraction.
I will not say rudeness, has been
pardoned. Don't you think so too Miss

The Hudson is a noble and majestic river,
varying from 600 yards to live miles in
width. It was discovered by llendrick
Hudson, a Dutch navigator in 1007 and

without seeing sumo kind of a vcsseI sailing
on its waters. The first steamboat
which navigated its waters was in or
18u7, w hen Robert Fulton ascended ii as
far as Albany in the "Clermont." So incredulous
wore his friends and the public,
as to the propelling a vessel by steam, that
after lie had succeeded in reaching Albany,
they doubted it could not b done ugain, or
that it could bo made practicable and pro
titable Mow changed the scene, now Its
waters arc covered with vessels drivi n by
steam at the rate of and I /) miles per
hour, doing a lucrative business lor their
proprietors The scenery too is beautiful.
It is said by 'ourists' to cam pare favorably
with that of the Rhine. All along the river
and on its hunks am to be seen extensive
cities, flourishing towns, handsome vil
I ages and magnificent residences. "Sunny
