Four or five athletic men., (calculated to "do the State some ' service.") a hale matron nnd a half-dozen ] children, as blooming as at.y country can | produce, formed the party. What means this, Old Edgefield? Are your ancient hills losing their charms? Are you left behind in the race of improvement??flaveyou lost the golden opportunity of securing the advantage! and facili tics which othirs have grasped, thai your people begin to prefer even thn rugged ] mountains of Pickens? IPa fear the in- 1 stance recorded above is but the begin- i nin": of numerous ones of a similar chacaeter; ' Wo fear tl>ftt our district will have J cause for a long time, to regret her tardi- f ncssin enterprise, for the Just ten years. < Js thcrft t o active spirit nmong us, backed bv abundant intfmis. who ran nr>lr?t. mil. t some way of turning the tic!?* in our favor, 1 himself loading off with patriotic boldness. .

Pickens appears to be, lo the people of many other parts of the State, a sort of terre incognito, a land "of antres vast and deserts idle, rough ( quarries, rocks and hills whose heads touch heaven," and the wild hunters who scale these dizy.y heights m e to \ the dreaming Lowlander quite as sin- ; gular specimens of the genus homo s as the "Anthropophagi and men j *jwhose heads do grow beneath (heir | shnlllflcrs.11 Plirtlv llinra linu t been no great thoroughfare leading , through this Dislrict, and partly be- < cause its geographical and topograph. , inal phenomena have been but imper- , . frctly understood, by men at a dis- , tftjicc, Pickens has b#tp much ueg-1, rmr i n 01 - - ? ected by those who wander in search )f lhe riches of this earth or her less substantial beauties, and many tow;ring mountains and roar.ng cataracts, sleeping vallies and glassy ;treams have been left from the beginning, with their own multitudin>us flowers, to "waste uieir fragrance >n the deseert airand many re;ourcesof wealth and prosperty* such is will scarcely bo found in any other district in the State, still remain unleveloped.

II To Correspondents.?To those who favor ua with their correspondance, we hope we may he permitted without offence, to say:?Trim your sentences, compress your thoughts into as small a compass as possible, otherwise your communications mav be loo bulky for the columns of a weekly paper, one of the chief merits of which, in the estimation of most readerit, is variety. We often receive communications which are all well enough with the single exception of their great length, and on this account, and this alone, are we driven to the painful necessity of depriving their writers of the pleasure of seeing themselves in print. It is one thing to compose a speech which shall do you credit in a public meeting, or to write a whole chapter for a novel, or an excellent essay for some periodical of an hundred pages; and quite a different thing to write a good newspaper article. It would be well perhaps, for all of us who blotch pa-; i_ . 1 . . .1 - pei 10 ren emner inai, inougii m the ! one class we may enlarge* in (he olhcr we must ahreviate. [communicated.] Pendleton, Jan. 80th, *51. Mn. Editor :? I must ask the privilege through your columns, to express my acknowledgments to the citizens who composed the. puhiic i meeting at Anderson, for the honor of having recommended me, among others, ns a ] candidate for the Stnte Convention. 11 is j (he more prided from the fact that it was entirely unsought for and unsolicited on mv part, and most unexpectedly conferred. Whether it will he confirmed, will depend On the will of the people and the result of the election. If I should be selected and .ouu^iit >?vyini^ <n unit nigu iiiiii responsililo station, it will l>e my pleasure and my duty lo carry out as far as will bo in my power, the foelings and opinions of those whom I may he called on to represent, so fully and repeatedly expressed nnd clenrlv defined, in relation lo our rights?our ! wrongs?and the remedy. It is well known I hat there is a divnrsitv of opinion as to the course South Carolina ought to take in relation to our difficulties with the General Government. Some, unci f trust a large majority, lire in favor of separate State action when the proper time comes, while otheis are only in favor of action in conjunction and co-operation with some other of the Southern States ; and perhaps there are others who arc looking to the action of Congress, to renew their at- | tuck on the institution of slavery, nnd thereby knock the last plank from underns nnd drive us ei her into the most abject submission, or into open, bold, and manly resistance. These arc tin? several contingencies which divided the members of our late Legislature, and which are now dividing the people, of the State, on the hnppehin;?of which the action of the State is to bo predicated. yvs it is n question ot principle purely and | not of expediency,?-is it is a <7rent struggle ! forlihortv and equality nnd Constitutional right, I cannot see how a diversity of opin ion onn he entertained. In the great struggles for liberty which history has recorded, neither the amount involved, nor the apprehensions of the consequences, governed those who were the first movers of revolution. It was not the pitiful amount of ship ' mnnnr nr.,. ilm - f ivua ui i\ |MMvrnui mnn* arch, which nerved I heboid of John Hump- I den, and which ro-ml'cd in llic establish- 1 ment of English lil oi ly fin 1 brought that ( proud monarch to the block ; it w?snotilie ^ tax of two-pence a lh. on tens or I he Stamp | duty which cmsed tho opposition to British i taxation and resulted in our glorio -h independence. In both instances it wim mm right tola* that was disputed and resisted. ( It was n high nni: holy regnrd to principle which actuated and stimulated the opposition, which crowned with success the. under taking nnd enohled the actors in the scene. It was this devotion to principle which brought up from the common walks of life the men of our revolution?tho.?e statesmen, orators and heroes, whose fame nnd example should serve as a beacon lii^ht to direct our courso in a similar struggle. If these principles are regarded?if those 1'right ex amples aro fallowed, how with a ten fold *- *? imi^iuui <>|i|iicm?ii?ii mm Willi 1110 i madness of fanaticism which threaten our institutions, can we, for one moment, hesitnte us to tho course which South Carolina Ought to take ? Let us not count the cost, nor fear the consequences, when our dearest rights have been trampled on. and when the Constitution which was intended to^ive us protection and security, is perverted and disregarded As iho Convention is intended to ho lliu embodiment of public opinion?as t>i#? flftate of South 0urptina will then speak in her highest sovereign enpntfitr, it is important that the feeling nnd opinions of those who shall represent her, should be well ascertain- ' ed nnd fully expressed. Apd when that Convention shall assemble. I hone vour del rentes will adopt our heuutiful and expressive, -State motto "i\nimu*,opibuttquep<nati and that our State will exhibit the noble spectacle of a br.ive people who counted not the cost in order to protect our dearest right ngninftt the nggresMoria of an unjust and pei-verted Government.
