University of Virginia. These younge gentlemen, (among the number we notice acquaintances and ilie sons of acquaintances,) like the brave boys who demanded redress from the British General, in the days wher m.i i??i?i - - ,yv v/m ^lignum Mjugiu to amicii oui fathers, have drawn in the spirit o: liberty with the first breath of life.? In their devotion to honor, in theii love of freedom and hate of oppres fiion, these students but express tin feeling which glows in the hearts o the youth of our land, Here, then O ye tyrants Af the North, may yt learn that there is a spirit in the lane ye cannot break, and that though yc may lash 1 he incumbent generation their children defy you and will b> and by visit upon you a judgemen which shall be none the less tcrribk bccause defered.

That as Southerners we are proud of our ancestry; that we love the Union of '89, of which at present there re mains but "the shadow without tin subHtance." Resolved, 3. !That compromises and remonstrances having failed to cheek the onward march of fanaticism, our only safety now seems to be in "State Action," in support of which we pledge "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." Resolved, 4. That (h<i young men of the South arc earnestly requested by this Association to come boldly forth and array themselves under the banner of "Justice and the Constitution." Resclved, 5. That they nrc further requested to form similar Associations throughout the South, particular nt those Institutions nt which Southern youths are educated; and that instant communications should be encouraged between such Associations, Resolved, 0* Tlmt the Corresponding Secretaries are instructed to forward copies ef the Address and Resolutions to nil Colleges patrionised by Southerners, aud to editors of papers favorable to Southern interests.

In one of our pcrigrinntion a few days r'Kioc, Vt& encountered n small squad of travellers whose bourn was the mountain district of Pickens. Four or five athletic men, (calculated to "do the Stnte some ncrvJet\") n hale matron and n half-dozen children, as blooming ns ai.y country can produce, formed the party. JFhnt means this, Old Edgefield? Are your rtncicnt hills losing their charms'? Ar? you left behind in the race of improvement??Have you lost the golden opportunity of securing the advantages nnd facilities which others have grasped, thai your peoplu begin to prefer even the rugged mountains of Pickena? We fear the instance recorded above is but the beginninffibl numerous ones of a similar chacacter. i We fear that our district "-ill have :? t ? i-?- ?? vii hoc iui ft unit", iv iici i< 11 (ll* ncssin ciityrpnao for the last ten years. Js th&rfc fo active spirit among us, bno.kofl by abundant moans. who can point out some way of turning the tide in our favor, iiinisuif leading off with patriotic boldness. If there be such an one. wo will call upon him to coino forward and give a new impetus to our prosperity. Shall our invocation be like "calling spirit# hoin the vasty deep?" Wcw'iIIbcc, Picking appears to be, lo the people of many other parts of the State, n sort of tcrre incognito, a land "ol antres vast and deserts idle, rough quarries, rocks and lulls whose heads touch heaven," and the wild hunters who scale these dizzy heights are to the dreaming Ix>wlander quite as sin y^uinr spur.minis ui mo genua noma as the "Anthropophagi and men who&c heads do grow beneath their shoulders." Partly because thcve has been no great thoroughfare leading ihiu IVutfinf. nn/1 hortlv lui caune its geographical and topograph, ical phenomena have been but imper . frctly understood, by men at a distance, Pickens has b*n> much aog lected by those who wander in search of the riches of this earth or her less substantial beauties, and many towering mountains and roaring cateraots, sleeping vullics and glassy streams have been left from the beginning, with their own multitudinous (lowers, to "wast? their fragrance j on the deseert airand many re-! sources of wealth and j rosperty, such as will scarcely bo found iu anyolhcr District in the Stale;, still remain undeveloped. In the middle and eastern parts of the District there may be found tracts six or eight miles square that have rarely echoed to the woodman's axe; much of the soil of these, thouirh thin, lies well, and is susceptible of high improvement, producing even now grasses and vines which afford rich pasturage during 1 nine months in the year. Upon these i tracts thousands of sheep could be | subsisted with but little care and less ' expense. Lying here and there along r the loot of the mountains which compose the northern portions of the District, there are many fertile val1 lies which produce in luxuriant abundance the various grains and grasses V of the country, and which under skill| ful management would maintain du' j ring winter (the mountain ranire be j | ing amply sufficient for their subsis| tence in spring, summer and fall,) any number of horses and mules, horned ' cattle, hogs, sheep, and children.?

Then, Mr. Advertiser, if some cf your people arc tired with toiling on the 'ancient hills of Edgefield,' and of ekeing from her exhausted soil n scanty subsistence, chide them not if t tiey desire to flee to this mountain land ; bringing their sons to swell the ranks of our beat companies, and their daughters to gladden the hearts of our hardy but susceptible swains.?

We often reeeivc communications which are all well enough with ihe single ex? eption of their great length, and on this account, and this alone, are we driven to the painful necessity of depriving I ineir writers 01 the pleasure of seeing themselves in print. It is one thing to compose a speech which shall do you credit in a public mC6tiu&, or to write a whole chapter for a novel, or an excellent essay for some periodical of an hundred pages; aud quite a different thing to write a good I newspaper article. It would bo well j perhaps, for all of us who blotch pai per to renember that, though in the I one class we ?nay enlarge, in the other we must. abreviate. [Communicated.] Pendleton, Jan. 30th, *51. Mn. Editor I must ask the privilege through your columns, to express my acknowledgments (o tlic citizens who composed the pubile | meeting at Anderson, for the honor of hnv| ing recommended me, among other?, ns a I candidate for the State Convention. It is I the more prided from the fact thnt it was i entirely unsought for and unsolici'ed on ' mv part, and most unexpectedly conferred. I \in.-ii i* MI i ; ?< iicuiur n, win tie con tinned, will depend 1 On the will of the people nnd the result of j the election. If I should lie selected and tliou'-iit worthy of that high nnd re<ponsii hie si.ilion, it will he my pleasure nnd my 1 duty to carrv out as far us will be in my ! power, '.he feelings and opinions of those ! whouVl may be culled on to represent, so fully nnd repeatedly expressed nnd clearly defined, in relation to our rights-?our wrongs?nnd tlic remedy. It is well known that tliere is a diversity of opinion as to the course South Carolina oucjlit to lake, in rr-laiioti (o our difficulties with the General Government. Some, nnd I trust n large majority, are in favor of separate State action when the proper time comes, while othcis arc only in favor of action in conjunction nnd co-operation with some other of tlio Southern StJiir>? nn#l ! Imps ihere nro other* who arc looking to the action of Congress, to renew thoir attack on the institution of slavery, and thereby knock the last plank from under us nnd drive us el her into the most abject submission, or into open, bold, and manlv resistance. Those are the several contingencies which divided the members of our late Legislature, and which are now dividing the people of the State, on the happening of 1 which the action of the State, is 10 cat od. As it is n question of ptinciplo purely and not of expediency,?'is it is a 3 rent struggle for libortv and equality and Constitutional right, I cannot see how n diversity of opin ion can be entertained. In thegreat struggles for liberty which history has recorded, neither the amount involved, nor the nppiebennons of the consequences, governed 1 those who wero the first, mnvcm nf wivnl.,. tion. It was not the pitiful amount of ship money, nr.r the fe ns of a powerful monarch, which nerved the soul of John H>inrpden, and which re-mbed in the establishment of English liberty nn 1 brought that proud monarch to the block; it \ps not the tnx of two-pence a lb. on tens or the Stamp duty which cmsed tho opposition to Tiritish taxation and resulted in our glorio -n independence. In both instances it was the right to tax that wns disputed nnd resisted. n was a nign am: holy regard lo principle wliich actuated and stimulated the opposition, which crowned with success the under taking nnd cnohlcd 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, whoso fame nnd example should Rcrve as a beacon light to direct our courao in a similur struggle. If these ? ?- ? ' ... nil ipitJB mo II-ITIM (11-(I?II I nose.

L.*t us not count tho cost, nor fear tlic consequences, when our dearest rights have been trumpled on, ?nd when the Constitution which was intended toi/ivo us protection add security, is perverted and disregarded. As the Convention is intended to bo the embodiment of public opinion?ss the .Sftiite | of South Carolina will then speak in her highest sovereign capacity, it i* important that the feeling# and opinions of those who shall represent her, should be well ascertained and ful'y expressed. And when that j Conversion shall assemble, f hope, your del- ! egates will adopt oUr beautiful and expressive &tate motto "i\nimun,npibus(/uc parafi,' and that our fttitn will ?l.? | Hpccta.de of ? bravo people who counlcd not the cont in order to protect. our dearest right against the nggre?Mons of nn unjust and perverted Government.

Among the many brilliant discoveries by which Europe wns to be delivered IrouCi her thraldom to the Southern States, the latest was that flax could be worked up by cotton mills and so bo made a substitute Cor staple. We took the iunrircstion for a joke at first, but it appeara that the English manufacturers have actually been experimenting. The result is doleful enough, as may be galhered from the following rxtract of the London correspondence of the National Intelligencer. By the way, it may be consoling to those in the North who have been gloating < ver the ruin that would ensue to the South on the success of the supposed discovery, to know that the bark of cotton stalk makes the finest and strongest flax, and that if the wool ,.f ll.n ? -i 1.1 - ?!

But here is ihe extract: "We stated a fortnight hack, upon the authority of the Morning Chronicle, lhat vciy successful experiments had been made in the application of cotton machinery to the spinning of yarn from Jlax prepared by M. Clussen's process, either in Manchester or the neighborhood. The Manchester (iliMivlinn?mwlr?!ili1/>rl oiillxii-iiu in this case?now tells us, it "cannot learn that a single ounce of yarn has been spun; all that we can ascertain is, th? t one attempt has been made near Ashion under-Lyne, which failed entirely: that a firm of fine spinners near Bolton, who had been requested to make anodic1 experiment wcrt! satisfied when they saw the material, that it was altogether unCllltorl flM' t luilP '??*'! ilw.l iwi uivu iiiuv mini ?iuu 111 <11 it lias since been sent to a fire of spinners and manufacturers at Rochdale, who have not we believe, yet made any report upon it. \ Tl e opinion of our Manchester coteinporary founded upon the opinions of parties who have seen the material* is- that as a substitute for cotton it is likely to Eentire failure.
