WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 14, 18CO
Favors.?Mr. J. M Morrow, of the Indian
Lund, has loft at our oflice three turnips
of uiost prodigious size, weighing 4
nnd pounds, each. This is certainly high
evidence of the productiveness of thnt
Mr. H. 11. Mnsoey, to whom \vc have acknowledged
uiany friendly /aver* of this
kind, has .brought ub boiuo of the same vegetable
; sot n?i>? so remarkable in point of
size as the Indiau J .and specimen, but as
respects quantity, he is entitled to the premium
over any specimen of this or any other
product ever before presented to this
office. A friend remarked that the girer
must have supposed that there was an
abundance of pork in this vicinity, which
Jie (friend) seemed to think was a mistake.
UovEUNoft's Message.?The special message
of his Excellency, Governor Gist, to i
the Legislature now in session, may be

Disturbance in Charleston.
We I earn, says the Carolinian, that there
was great excitement in the city of Charleston
on yesterday. The officers of the
Federal Government were attempting to
remove the arms from the Arsenal in Charleston,
but wero stopped by a demonstration
of the citizens of the place.
Ther.e was no rcinova' of the arms and
flic citizens bscanie satisfied.
Federal Officers Resigned
A private despatch from Charleston (says
the .Columbia Guurdiun of 8th inst.) announ
ces uial Judge Alugruth, District Judge, V.
W. Colcock, Collector of the l'ort, mid
James Conner, U. S. District Attorney, ou
learning the result of the election, have resigned
their respective offices. All honor
to the men who so promptly respond to tlio
outrage committed against their State and
section!
Excitement in Washincton.-TIio Washington
correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, telegraphs that the President will
resist any attempt at nullification, but not
secession. There is great excitement in
Washington, in consequence of rumors of
resigunti.oDs of Ciovernui/tnt officers at
Charleston.
Anotuik Raid in Virginia.?A Wash*
ington despatch, dated November 5th says:
"Rumor, emer.'iliiiir from the samo source
which notified Gov. Wise of ihe John Brown j
aid, reached Gov. 1.etc her, .of Virginia, recently,
who, in consequence, ln?t week instituted
a system ot patrol along the Potomac
iu all tha River counties. Gov. i.etcii r
nleo despatched Col. Demirick, t U>?
State Guard, to Washington for the purchase
of fire arms.
Politics in Virginia.?On Saturday 3d
inat., Governor Wiae addressed a vnat audience
at Portsmouth, Va. Ilia apeech ia
said to be the greatest etlbrt of his life. He j
wore he never would acquiesce to Lincoln's
election. The resolutions of Princess
Anne county were adopted wit); the w ildest
kind of enthusiasm Jlr. Wise spoke for
four hours.
Tremendous Gatuering in Cmarles-'
ton.?The largest and uiost enthusiastic |
meeting ever held in Charleston, convened
in that city on the 9th inst. Able un<j eloquent
addresses were delivered by several
distinguished Carolinians. Speeches were
also made by Hon. H. R. Jackson, Judge i
Miller and others, of Georgia, pledging that
State to sat In co operation with South
Carolina. The meeting adopted a resolution,
that a committee of three be appoint*
ed to proceed to Columbia forthwith, to
recommend immediate action in having a
Convention called at the earliest possible
period, which was unanimously adopted
The following gentlemen w(ore appointed :
Judge A. p. Magrath, Hon. VV V. Colcock
and Jau;a* Cpnnor, Esq.
The time for iotion
There la now scarcely H doubt but Uist
severnl, if not aJJ of ).? Southern Sluice,
will secede from the General Government.
The eigne of the time* are more propitious
than at any former period ; each mail brings
lis renewed and encouraging intelligence of
the purpose of the South to no longer submit
to the encroachments upon her rightr,
The movement ie working admirably ; it
would seem that the great desideratum that!
has been wanting for years?the unity of
the South?is about to be consummated.
(Joder these circumstances the Legislature
of our State ws ViVft, sell s Convention
as early aa poesitya; and if it be the
desire of bar Southern sis tare that abo
should lend off, South Carolina should not
Lanitals to aeeept the proud pool lion and
furnish them with an sxampl# of eourfge
and unsniinity.
The Presidential EjectionThe
result of the election, with some do- ,
tails uiay be tound on another column.? ;
Abraham Lincoln is unquestionably the 1
choice ef the Electoral .College. Itisgratifying,
however, to be able to state that
with the news of his election, also comes
the intelligence from several Southern
States of a determination to resist to the |
death ami strike at once for a severance of
the Union. If the signs of the times do '
not greatly err, we are about to pass
i through au ordeal, the like of which has ,
not been felt on this Continent since the j
days of the Revolution. Let every man [
prepare to do Ids duty, for if there was ev- '
er a time when energy, firmness and unity '
of purpose should prevail, it is yow.
Ivvuvsik VI nciiuu, pruueni ueilQ.OTMIOn |
and firmness of purpose are especially desirable.
A loo groat precipitancy on the
one hand, and a cautiousness savoring of
timidity on the otli er, should be sedulously
guarded aguinst. If we eau but steer clear
of these two extremes, we have nothing to
fear. After a temporary disarrangement of
the various channels of trade and business,
the South will fiftd herself occupying aj
prouder and infiuitely more prosperous eon.
dition than ever before, whilst the North |
will be reading the terrible fruits of her j
OW71 nu',dn.e?? and folly. The threat of eoercion
is impotent ; nothing of the sort
will be attempted.
