Si.oan is not n candidate tor TJrigadier General, and his nritne has been accordingly withdrawn. Correction. We were led into error, unintentionally, Inst woek, in announcing the death of Mr. J. A.

An error also occurred in publishing the Ocnoral Orders of His Excellency the Gov oraor, which is chargeable to tho paper from which wc copied. Tho Review at liOninx's will take place on the 12th of August, instead of tho loth; and, at llaynio'n, on the loth, iuBtead of tho 13th, as it therein appears. "The Pendleton Messenger." Mr. Wu.

A Failure. The Postmaster at Anderson informs tliat our paper failed to reach (hat oflieo las! week, and attempts to "throw the blame on" us. Wo arc not so certain where it- should rest, but regret the failure. Our recollection is that wo lodged the package for that town, (a very large one) in the post oflieo here properly directed. That it should have failed to reach its destination (distant twenty-eight miles) is rather mysterious, bnt to complain is worso than useless. The Newberry College. The Mirror announces the laying the corner stone of the Lutheran College, at that place, with app^Opriatb ceremonies. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. IIkkrv Summer, Kev. Mr. Br antlby, Dr. Bachman and A. C. Garmngton. Although this institution was not located at Walhalla, where, in ju common justice it snouiti Have been, yet, wo nevertheless wish it tho greatest success, and commend it to the patronage of its denominational friends and the public generally. Kansas. Tho Kansas question?whether that territory shall bo a free or slave Stato, the policy of tho President, and tho official conduct of Gov. Walker?i? now exciting the public mind throughout tho country, and is being discussed, with much latitude, by all parties. In our own Stato particularly, it is the subject of lougthened aud frequent editorial discussion. Thus far, however, it has been pointless; but has had the effect of forming, imperfectly perhaps, ucw party lines. And in doing this, in our humble iudtrment. tho public weal lias not been bottcred. Tho question j\t issue appears to bo this: shall tho constitution of Kansas, which in Hoon to be framed by ber constitutional convontiou, be submitted to the people of that territory for ratification or rejection? Thin, it is claimcd, is surrounded by the conduct oi AVamcek, and tbo policy of tbc Administration. And on each of these wc shall have a word to sny. There 5" noiliir.pr, in f?vV*"vtt!Gpjthc eo^stitntion to tho people for their ratification or rejection, that Hi.juld alarm tho public mind, Thore is precedent, in the action of Hovcrftl of the States, for thin course. .Besides, in n free country, where majorities rule, it is n right that the States, whether it is to then interest or not, cannot call in question. The truth is, moreover, that the people of Kansas are almost unanimously in favor of submitting their constitution for ratification or rejection; and, when such is the caao, who.ha* the right to complain ? The course of Gov Wai.kbu doos not meet our approbation. IU was appointed to administer tho lawn of the territory as he found them, and not to dirtb?fi< to the people of that territory their future lino of policy. In this he erred, aa did the President and hia cabinet in endorsing his conduct. But, as wo hnvo before paid, wc beliovo Kansas will be a slave State. A majority of her citizens, nt least, have so docided, and it is alone for them to determine. AVc do not think that agitation can serve the South, or advance her interests, in any way, in connection with /his question ; hence, wo feel callcd upon to oddoso ir.

The reason | of thirt is probably to bo found in the fact, that their beauties, with the advantages of a delightful sumniqreliinatc, aro comparatively unknown to tho<?c ut a distance. 'J'ho lower falls are situate in tho western portion of Pickens district, twenty miles above the Court House, rind may be reached by one of '.ho best roads in the country. The stream (White Water river) is n largo one, and fulls ovcrnl hundred feet, by a succession of ensci'dus that arc beautiful beyond description. They are surrounded, too, with tho most gorgeous mountain scenery. The whole, forming a picture, that tho best artist or most skilful romancer would tail to faithfully dyjincate or portray. The upper falls, on the same stream, arc a few miles above, in North Carolina. They are perpendicular, of great height, and arc truly grand and awe-inspiring. On the way i to these fain, a splendid view of the line of the Blue Hid go Railroad, some twenty-five miles distant, can be obtained.

Is Home Talent Appreciated? We like the ring of the metal in the paragraph which follow*. Speaking of the nomination of Judgo Brown, as a candidate foi Governor of Georgia, tho True Carolinian nays: " To many of our citizens he is well known, and very many express great gratification at hi* success. This is as it should he, and we are really gratified to know that there aro places where a man i.s regarded as competent tc t ho discharge of the highest duties of life before his heau has beconio silveredo'er by age. Wo wish it was so here, but it is hoping aguiust liopo. Had Judge Drown remained as a citizen of this State, notwithstanding his ability, he would have been compelled to remain in comparative obscurity until death had made way for him by removing boiuc of our ageil office holders, or until fortune had favored him to snob a dogrco as would hove enablod him to have a larger and more costly levee than any other man in tho State. It has truly been said that " a prophet in not without honor, save in his own country," and the truth of the saying is manifested in the eases of many who have been forced to exile themsolvos from the State of South Carolina." There is 0110 other custom among uh, although now passing awav, which has proved fatal to the aspirations of worthy and competent young men. This is tho struggling for and holding-on to office by men whose days arc apparently numbered, and whom o'ficc oanuot benefit in any way. Where they arc successful, it has tlie cffcot of dispiriting young men, perhaps every way as well qualified, and, as in many instances which have occurrod, driving from the Stato its best talent. The people should look to this and apply tho remedy. f Chancellor Dargan. We leavn from tho last l'atriot that the monibors of the liar at Greenville, on Satur dry of Equity Court, met and unanimously adopted complimentary resolutions to his Hoi: . or Chancellor Paboan, for thcabilitv. nromot | ncss and courtesy with which he dispatcher [ the business at that place.

Tho Ad- I ministration seleuted a Southern man in I j principle, to settle the vexed question j it 1 was generally 'understood among Mr. Walker's friends that he was in favor of bringing in Kansas as a pro-slavery State?his tu orthordoxy on the slave question while in the United State.* Senate was never questioned?and while his colleague in the i House votod for tho reception of Aboiitior* t petitions, he voted for their instantaneous rejection.

It has been done in many eases, and we have no reeson to complain of the Adnitnistration for upholding it..? That the Administration approves of tho manner of Mr. Walker's recommending how the people shimld doit, is another matter?we do not believe they can approve bin course in giving his opinion on that subject, but on the main question we see no cause why they should repudiate him.

What good can there result in adopting a Constitution but by the votes of those who mean to occupy tho land? If tho South means to do anything, why is it not moving? Why are not joint stock companies' raised to purchase Jnnd and send settlers as the Emigrant Aid Societies are charged with doing? In short, why has not the South sent voters there to carry the Constitution'( If KaiiHM be lost to uh, wo of the South have lost it?not Gov. Walker's suggestions have done it.
