C.: Saturday Morning, August 7, 1858. To Correspondents. Tho Constitution of tho "Touchers' Asso- j riuti<tn" will appear next week. It is una- | void ably crowded out of this number. Wo arc indebted to C'\Y." for the cxtraet ; from the Knoxvillc paper. AVe may liavo occasion to use it at no distant day. " ttitdiopville," on our first page, lias been , mutilated, by tho omission of the author to j Bond us the scvonth i>ago of his article. It j refers principally to the Examination atThn- j lian Academv, which our readers have al" I ready seen. Favor us again. " II." may rest assured that there is no opposition to the lllue llidgo Kailrond in this district, the rumors mentioned to the contrary notwithstanding. Saleday. | Monday last? ' saleday in August"?had j the effect of drawing together a larger rum- ; her of person? than is usually in attendance j on that day. " Piokensville," noted of late j for the number of times it has changed hands, j was purchased by Mr. Becknkm,, at $2,430. Other property, unencumbered, brought good prices also. An adjourned meeting of the Pickcnw Agricultural Society was held in the Court House. ; The Constitution, submitted by the Commit inittee having it in chnrgc, waa adopted, and j will bo published at an early day. The proceedings can bo found in our columns. The candidates wore busy, each one appearing sanguine of success. The canvass is being conducted, on all sides, with less excitement. and nn.rtiv.nn Pi>i>linir tl?nii Vinrntrtf, >rr> And wo are pleased to record so desirable a state of affairs. May it long continue. From all quarters, wo had cheering intelligence of the corn crop. With good seasons, j it must be the largest ever grown in the dis- I trict. j Fair Play. Tlio pleasure has recently been afforded us j of paying n short visit to this beautiful vil- I luge, which is situated in tho nouthorn por- j tion of the district. Tho site for the village | was admirably chosen. It is almost level, with a light sandy soil, niul refreshingly relieved, theso sultry summer days, with tho tdiadoof tho majestic oak common to our forests. Soveral now buildings have boon erec...J.i ..... ~i. ?i... ............r the place. Until recently, there were five stores in the town. Now there are four, with the prospect of another being opened in a short time.? Messrs. A. S. Strphkns & Co. havo in operation hero a successful carriage manufactory from which they are turning out many durable, as well as handsomely finished, vehicles. Other mechanical shops, useful and noccssary to thfi growth of a town, flourish here. In tho immediate neighborhood, we learned there was a mineral spring, which wan drawing to it many persons, seeking relief from its healing or curative powers. It is on the premises of Mr. Clevkland, and deserves to he properly tested. We were unable to aseer* tain the character of the mineral, with which the water ia impregnated. "Wo enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. Keksk during our brief stay, and thank him for his kind attention. IIit? house is open to all, and is well kept. To Mrs. K. wo are indebted for somo line fruit, which is abundant in that section. The improvemont everywhere apparent in our district, id quite as noticeable in this region, as elsewhero. The dwellings and farms of tho<<o on the route we traveled bore nnmis" takable evidence of renovation and improvement. One cotton field, marked here and uicro wiiii ni 11-31110 uitciios, contained, as near as tho eyo, could guido u.s, about one iiu ml rod acres I It was in line growing con dition, and looked very promising. W'o arc led to mention tho size of this "cotton patch," from tho fact that sonic at a distance think that Pickens is altogether a mountainous district, adapted to nothing hut tho cnlturo of grain, and tho rearing of stock. Such is not the fact, as tho exports of our farmers and idantcrs nhundantlv show. Onn vrini* if nnr memory is not greatly at fault, one of our largest planters raisc<l considerably over one hundred bales of cotton in the district! Mr- Lieber, The Geological, Mineralogical and Agricultural surveyor of tlio State, is, we understand, in the district, lie has visited hastily Oconeo, Choohee. and perhaps other sections of tlio district. The Surveyor id, wo understand, without an udefpmto corps of nssisfanfcf, and i$ consequently doing next to notli'ng If this survey is worth anything to ilio Shite, and we regard it of the very highest importance when properly conducted, espe. eially to the up country, it should he organized so us to be made effective or abandoned at once. We mention the nrrival of Mr. L. in our midst, in hi* officially crippled condition, that those ahle ami willing may assist him for their own and the benefit of the puolio genorally.

An attempt was made sowo time ago to or- | gnnizo i\ party opposed to the administration of Mr. BuchaS'an. It was to bocomposodop tlx? disaffected of nil tho parties and isms of tho country, from a Southern know nothing to tho-blackest republican of Massachusetts. ! The only object bad in view scorned to be that | of snppbintinir tho democratic navtv. and (lis " . ? pensing the patronage of the government.? 1 For convonienco, and the hotter to secure i their xuceess, iiu platform of principles was laid down. As might reasonably be expected the South, nml we believe the entire country, has repudiated the whole thing. Efforts | may be nmrto hereafter to form and infuse life into lite hybrid, but it will us certainly fail of its purpose. An olTurt is nUo being nuulo in Alubninn, ! 1 v Mr. Yancbv uiul others, to form a "South- i orn League," for the purpose of "coneoutra- I ting public opinion upon public men and measure!?." Wc deprecato tlio division which has from time to time divided and distracted the councils of the South, and shall oppose the formation of any party, association, or league, which, in our judgment, partakes of I this fatal, suicidal policy. This organization of leaguers, whether it was so intended or ?: 1 *i- - ? nvt, i3 ovuiioiuti i*visii in uio ."301UD. mm must, if succossful, contiuuo to weaken anil eventually destroy the power of the South in the government, mid iu our midst. Whilo in tho Union, tlic only party with whioh t!io South can aet is the democratic party, and he who counsels otherwise is not ho trusted. New Advertisements. Messrs.

Hammond's speech, delivered at tbo Hooch Island dinner. Although it is not fully reported, vet, it is sufficiently ko, to be understood. His positions havo been i I taken without reerard to the nnimons hold liv I others, ami will most probably bo ncqniesccd in by the people of the State. They meet in tho main with our hearty approval, and we commcml their consideration to our readon?. Senator Hammon d makes the following distinct points in his speech, whien wo publish for tho benefit of the reader, as well as r..n r.itnvn . 1. Ho believos that the battle of the South) may bo successfully fought in the Union?that i the South may by unanimity rule in the future j :ih in the past. '2. That n dissolution of the | ; Union per ?c is not a desirable thing. 8. That! I there i? at this time no significance in the disI tinction attempted to bo drawn between "Nution! nl" and "State Rights" Democrats. 4. That I | the South now stands rectus in <'itria before the ! j world?that herpceulinr institution at this time ! j occupies high and secure ground, under thccgiu I j of the Government, ft. 'i'liat cordial affiliation | j wiiii I ho t rue men of the North isouv policy and j ' our duty?that with thorn wo should stand J "ulic.uUler to shoulder." ('?. That i: is Southern j policy to have naught to do with Ollibustcring ' schemes. 7. That tUc revival of tlio foreign | slave trade is a project of doubtful expediency, and altogether visionary and impracticable.
