LANCASTERVILLE.S.C WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 21, 1860 To Correspondents.?We have been obliged, for want of room, to oioit several .communications inteudeu for this issue. ? hNews from other States.?We refer ' our readers to the cheering accounts from j neighboring States published in to-days paper. The Secession movement is genernl throughout several of the Cotton States, and under present indications there is no probability that thequeatipn of aulitary so cession will bo precipitated upon South Caiolina. Unanimity in Charleston.?A friend has shown U9 a letter from a large merlin ti hi firm in Charleston wherein it is stated that, there is not a single man in Charleston opposed to the immediate secession oj South Carolina. Charleston Mercury.?We refer to an advertisement of this excellent paper on another column Session Cater.?'l'he South'Carolinian and Southern (iuardian have each anrwn.r,.....! ii.?? ii..... i.. ?1-. ?- ' uvunvvv uiut turjr ikiu- iiiiiuu urrungviijuiua j for full reports in both branches of the l.eg- j islnture at the regular Session, and will furnish the daiiy during the Session ot one I dollar. Kershaw District.?We learn through i a private source that the nominees for the State Convention in Kershaw District, are j lion T. J. Withers, lion. James Cliesnut, and Col. J. It. Kershaw. A stronger or belter ticket could not be selected any wbe/e. Fast Day 11 \\ ill be spen hv n Pfni-l?m?l!nn fr/.... hi* Excellency Ihe Governor, published in to-days paper, that this (Wednesday) is cppuinted a day of Fastipg, Humiliation and Prayer. We hope that it will be pern rally observed throughout the State. Divine aid and counsel were never more needed by us thnn in this critical period of our National existence. Services will be had at the Methodist Church at this place, commencing at 11 o'clock, and conducted by Rev. Mr. Craig. Also ut night by Rev. Mr Wood. Patriotic. An evidence of tho resistance feeling prevalent hereabout, was seen on Saturday 1 ist, when our citizens plauted a Secession Flag on Main Street, a few feet from Col. J. IS. Crockett's Store. It is suspend*d upon a pole sixty five feet higli. The ground-work is bine ; on the right is ;t l'nlmetto tree ; to the left n solitary S:.r, with the wprds underueuth "Now or Never." The whole is handsomely execute i When raised, a salute was fired and three cheers given for the "Republic or iSouth Carolina." Flags, with appropriate devices, are also suspended over the Store of Messrs. Ilasseltiue & Masssy, Col. Crockett and Major Ruldon's Hotel. There is no mistaking | the position which laincaster sustains in the present crisis ; there is but one .sentiment so far us we know, and that involves a resolute purpose to assist the State in getting out of the Union as speedily as pos- ' si bit. Nl Unanimity of Feeling / Our town nnd vicinity, wo believe is a unit on the question of seceding from the Union. The prompt action of the Legislature in calling n Convention of the people is warmly approved. Wo have heard no dissenting voice ns to the duty and policy of the State in the present emergency ; it is felt that the time enn never become more propitious than at prevent, that tlie indie;.* tions from other Southern States are amply encournging, and that this State should now move forward if she would ever be freed from the shackle* which liavo so long environed her in common with Iter Southern sinters. This is likewise the sentiment of various sections of the District that we have heard from, and we hope the same patriotic feeling prevails throughout the entire District, and that the mass of her voters will move in solid phalanx to the polls on the the 6th of DecemberSfwatoriai. Rksignatioss.?The resignation of Senators Chcsnut and Hammond were tendered to the Legislature at the recent session nnd accepted. Col. Chennut jt is announced, will visit different portions of tiie Slate during thu interval between this time and thu meeting of the Convention. for the mimosa of iiddreHKLno tin. nnn. plo upon ll?e issue* of the day. An effort is being made to get him lp latuoaNter, and we hope thut in our next jtfsue we will hn\e the pleasure of announcing the success of the effort and the day when lie tyjlj address our people. Mwsissirrt.?It is announced through an exclusive despatch to the Charleston Met? pury, that Gov. Petlua has issued his Proctarnation convening the Mississippi l<<'gis lature on the 2flth inst. A Convention of the people will bo immediately called to take prompt measures for secession. The popular sentiment i? believed to be overwhelming', in favor of prompt action nnd secession. South Carolina must act promptly and independently, and will thereby strengthen Lite common cause. Mork Voi.u.vrgsup.?Kvery mail, (says the South Carolinian,) brings tenders from volunteer* to South Carolina. Baltimore offers a company of ona hundred men, New Jersey five hundred, and individual applications for military appointment* ara numberJess. 4 , To the People of Lanc<uterWe ask your attention lo a cull publiah- j ed on at)Otlicr column for a meeting at this ' place on Friday next, to nomiunto persona to represent you in the State Convention to assemble in Columbia on the 17th proximo. | You are required fellow citizens to perforin ' your legitimate parts in the most important measure of your lives?the most important that any peop'e could be called upon to perform. Your State, because of the injustice which she has received at tho hands of the Federal Government, nr.d in view of the j greater wrongs which the futuro threatens to bring upon her, is about to fall back up- j on her sovereign rights and assert Jier sep- , ! ernte nationality. Every man should eni deuvor to realize the full significance and aolemnkude of the undertaking and govern i himself accordingly. Not only are your fortunes and your honor at stake.but it mav 1)0 your lives and tlie lives of your wives nn<l children. No higher considerations than .these can iuiliicnco any people, and \ these are Uiey which admonish us to counsel together for our common welfare. Von are entitled to three numbers in the approaching Convention, and inasmuch as it is to be a Convention of such vast consequence, it behoves us to exercise duocir- , cumspection and discretion in the choice of members to represent us. We should send our worthiest and best men?men of ; known prudence and abilitj, and above all of resolute e^id dclert\;iocd m,inds. No otli- | er material .can properly meet the present ; emergency. A large measure of discre- j tion will necessarily he lift with the dele- j gates; they will require all the lights which ! the lime between the election and the meet- ! ing of the Convention a ill develop to enn- j bin I hem to decide understanding!)* the momentous questions thai may be present- ! ed, and for this reason should not be un- | conditionally committed to anything except to the proper discharge of their duty la j their constituents and to our beloved Slntc. | TlijO destiny of the Slate, o(.J perhaps of I the whole South yvi.ll be in their hands and I hence the great importance of having our I wisest and most able men to represent us j After the act of severance from the Union, j which we now anticipate, is consummated, j the labor of the Convention w ill scarcely j have commenced. The resumption, regulation and direction of those pow ers which are now vested in the General Government, i the change of oar State Constitution and its adaptation to the new order of things, ! with many other duties will come up be- ! fore that body, ami which will call for tho exercise of a due proportion of wisdom, experience, statesmanship and diplomacy. Who among your munv able men can best discharge those high and responsible inula is n matter for you to decide, and thero is not much time loft in which to make up your minds. You should act promptly, after a brief counsel among yourselves.? J It is with this view that you lire called together on Friday next ; that your united wisdom may be brought to bear in making suitable selections. Another object of equal importance, ia, that we should endeavor to have no divisions among us, for if there was ever a time when unity among ourselves was required, I it is now. In this matter wo should have | but one sentiment to represent?the good ot our State ; and if we are united in principle, surely we can ngrec us to men. We should have no other aim but the common good ; personal piefcreiiees and ambitious aspirations should bo sacrificed upon the | altar of patriotism. I*t us nominate men who are well known throughout the DU* I Irict ; men who are as acceptable t<? every [ portion of it as the circumstances will permit, and abide by the nomination. An op ; position ticket would be peculiarly unfortunate at this juncture. If this course is pur- i bioH f Ant tlm S2f*ifo ???^oi ?Ia/. I - B"~ ~ * ous results will follow. South Carolina in her aasembled wisdom will present an example of unanimity and determination that j will have a telling effect upon this other j Southern States who are now scrutinizing all our netions. We are the centre of attraction not only for them but for tho i whole country; aye for tins world, and up- ! on our notions virtually depend the forma- i tion of a Southern Confederacy. Unity among ourselves will accomplish all that we want ; but division and distraction must inure to our ruin nod disgrace. Support to South Carolina.?The fol- i lowing despatch was sent to Mr. Simons, Speaker of the House of Representatives. It is but oue of tunny indications that the Qympnlhy of every true patriot in the country is with South Carolina in Iter present I movements : "Washington,November 7.?The Washington National Volunteers proffer their services to South Carolina, in case of her withdrawal from tho Union. Southern men here nre with South Carolina.'' South I arohna Central R. R.

In this , shape it was returned to the Senate and ' jj passed by that body without opposition.? ' ^ An abstract of the debate in the Mouse when this Bill was up for consideration may ' be found on our first .page. The unanimity ' with which the Bill passed by.th Mouses is unparallelled in the Legitdulivo history of this or any other State. That so imp or tnnt a matter should bo without a dissent' j ing voire in either Mouse, leaves no room ta doubt the unity of sentiment which prevailed among the members of the Legislature, and in this act of promptly railing n Convention, they have hut given expression to the united voice of the State. Toe Bill in respect to the Baraks also passed both houses; the provisions of this Bill may be found among the proceedings on our lirst page. Its friends urged its | passage oil tins ground Unit it would relievo : the extreme tightness of the money market: J that the Hanks, after the remission of the penalty for suspension involved in the Act i of 1840, would not hesitate to let out their , ' hills and the wants of the Vountry would | . be thereby supplied.

Of its effects we i in this section have abundant evidence in the j Fever and Ague which it alone produces when i absorbed through the lungs into the blood. It 1 has long been held to be a vapor or something in the vapor of water from decayed and decay* j ing vegetation. Under a great magnifying power, the Doctor lias found this vapor to contain distinct organisms or living bodies, correspond' ing precisely with those found in the blood of Ague subjects. They arc 13,000 times less than visible to the naked eye, but have distinct char, acter and form, lie thinks they are reproductive in decaying matter or in the blood, nnd hence their long continued Jifc or the remote effects of them in the system.

Yeast, through a powerful magnifier is seen to 1 he a loiost of vegetation which grows blossoms, and goes to seed in a short time. Miasm is not so distinctly vegetable, but litis more the appearance of animal life, although its motions cannot be perfectly distinguished.
