V <?ljiv TOqei. L ANCASTERVILLE, 8.C. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. 30, 1861 No Mails. We received no mail from Camden on Monday evening and have been obliged to go to press this week without the benefit of this the most important mail of the week. The hack did not leave this point on Saturday morning as usual, and it is rumored that it is the intention not to run it any longer. Thus the contractors on the line from Camden to Lancaster have, without any previous .iptimation or warning of their intention, deprived the people of this vicinity of their mails. In this extremity there is but one effective jetpedy known to us, and thai is for our people to hire the carriage of their own mails from this point to Camden. This may be done at a cost triHing compared with tho seyiops inconvenience and annoyance w.I rich a stoppage of this mail altogether will occasion. Every one with whom we have spoken have expressed a willingness .to go their quota in this matter, and we hope that in a few days some arrangement of this kind will be of. fee ted. All must see the absolute necessity of keeping up this mail at any cost. Tie Lancaster Greys.?On our first .page will be found a list of the company of Volunteers raised from tho Upper Battalion. It w.ffi ,ue seeu that exclusive of those who have been transferred to the lower company, there are still more names than the maximum number allowed under the Act of the Legislature. It is a company that any district might regard witli pride, j selected y.s it is from the ranks of our best .citizens. Wo have not ye t been furnished witli a of the lower company. Election for Field Officers. XJn Saturday next the election will be , held for Field Ollicers of the Regiment of < Volunteers raised front tho 5lh Brigade, ' known as tho 2d Regiment of South Cam- 1 lina Volunteers, This Regiment, we hnve ; bsen informed, is composed of the following Companies: Four from Mii'hhoiH ?? ??? ' jrom Sumter, one jrom Clarendon, one from ' Kershaw and one from Lancaster. The one from Lint-aster is Capl. Barnes' t Company ; where Cnpt. MeManus' Compn- s ny will be thiown, we nre not yet iufojruied r The candidates for ' 'ield Officers remain the same as announced hy us two week ago. p Col. Kershaw is still without an opponent (I for the Colonelcy, which fact is the highest S evidence that could be adduced of the con- o tidence entertained by the Volunteers of the 5lh Brigade iu ids fitness fur the post. Col. p jiianding and Gsn. Wallace are the cnndi> ? dates for Lieut. Colonel. Col. Barnes and M Col. Goodwyn for Major. In the organization of the Regiment, Col. Barnes lias been taken at a serious disud- "i vantage ; there being four Companies from j| Richland and but one from Lancaster. We hope, however, that in an election of so much importance as this is, merit will be ' the governing principle ; in which case the friends of Col. Barnes, without wishing to disparage the claims of his opponent whose M! worth and competency they concede, will ' look forward with confidence to tiie result. ,;| Sale of the McKenna Estate. The nale of thin large Estate wan com- .. pleted on Thursday of last week. The lie. in groH?J77 in number?were all sold on </( Wednesday and realized the aggregate hh?i lo of one hundred and thirty-five thousand, three hundred and fifty dol.Wa,( 136,350 00; ^ being an average of seven hundred and six* ^ ty-lour dol/ara nud sixty-eight cents. (764,- j . th "'he result has exceeded the expectations of every one with whom we have convers. _ ... or ed, including the parties interested, who u have expressed the highest satisfaction. It " is especially a good sale in view of our po? w litical troubles and the unusual scarcity of money. The terms for the negros were one-third cash, and the balance a credit of ^ twelvemonths. Among the number were |>| several said to he diseased, one totally blind tj( and about forty infants under the age of ^ five years. They were sold principally in fnmilisH, ranging ffotp ?wo to eight ; very few were aold singly. ? or The renl estate, as announced last week, ^ sold for a little upwards of $3300Q 0Q.? (| This, with the proceeds of the salo of qe- ^ gros and other personal property, together ^ with the notes and other clniips left by Testator, will mske the gross Estate abost ^ $2*35,000 ; which, under the deed of coinpromise, after deducting a few small legacies and expenses ir.cidont to suit and settlement, will be apportioned as follows :? ^<( To Mrs. McKenna (widow) tvoeighths ^ absolutely; to J. F. G. Mittng and wife ^'| thrco-eighths ; lo Bishop Lynch, in trust H(] for tlie objects contemplated in the Will of ^ McKenna, the remaining three'eighths. North Carolina.?The tardiness of the 1,1 North Carolina legislature in respept to " the Convention Dill has excised surprise ec in many quarters and dissatisfaction among 00 the people of that Spitp.

I OOt ? m Fort Pickens- Apprehended Collision.

A conflict between the State troops o* Florida, Georgia and Alabama and the United States troops at Fort Pickens is said to be certain, unless the Fort is given up. Fort D&rruiuuu, which is contiguous to Fort Pickens, is in possession of the State troops.)

Since tny lanl. war unit tors remain in the same unsettled state, and unless something ! quite unfoiescen turns lip suddenly, I see no prospect of anything looking to pacific . measures being accomplished. It is said, (but I cannot vovch for its truth) that Maj. Anderion was notified on Saturday last, by a message from the Governor, that the furtlier occupation of Fort Sumter could not be permitted?that our troops wore ready, and that within a short time tlie Fort must j be surrendered or taken. The Commandi ant reported reported to the communionI tion of the Governor, (whatever it might have been,) by referring the matter to his Government, and despatched Lieutenants ; Talbot and Hal! to Washington for further orders. Attorney General I lay no went on, under a Commission from the Kxeeutive, and Hubert N. Goutdin, Ksy , followed uuo'li* cially in the evening train.

We look anxiously for news from all quarters, where we expect sympathy and eo operation. Washington now lius no attraction for us, as everything from that direction only serves to irritate and inilatiiu I the spirit of implacable hostility and contempt Ibr the detested Government, which obstinately persists in refusing to acknowledge our position. The Courts of Appeals and Central Sessions lutve been organized. Six Kills for murder have been found ; three for larceny and one for bastardy ; several for assault and battery ; til teen for selling spirits to j slaves.

W fit ull due respect lor the opiu- ' ions of the Major and bis friends, I must ; I con jess that I would prefer to have at once some more striking ?\idcnce than has al- j | ready been furnished of his devotion to j j the South, which claims the honor of hav- ! | iii),' given Iti 111 birth. Whether lie mny lin>I ' fr?> in Kentucky or Virginia, (liolli of which . liuyp been culled In* birth place) or from (teorgui, where l)e }iu? become possessed by marriage, of a large ininiber of slaves, two of these Slate", though not positively out of the Union uro in a very dilferonl *1- ! titude towards tho decayed and broken up Confederacy, from that which he at present occupies towurd* it. lie is acting under the orders of those w ho are preparing a programme of hostilities for the purpose of breaking down that right of Stale sovereignty, which vll of these States equally |iold sacred ar.d inviolable-hostilities which may just as probably be directed against one as another, as circumstances may aug* gest. The patriotism of a Southern man, placing himself in such a position, and maintaining it eveo at the cost of shedding the blood of his owu countryman, is at least questionable. Major Anderson may be brute, but he is neither patriotic nor bej jondthe suspicion of treason against the j rsoulh, until he extricates himself, in some ; way, fioui a dilemma in which honorable warfare could never have placed liiiu?that ' of turning the guns of one of those sovereign Stale* of which he is an acknowl ' edgid Ron aguiml her aud her gallant chilj dreu !! ! ! !
