Mr. Rhett's Address.
A correspondent requests us to re-publish the
address of Mr. Hiif.tt to his constituents in ;
1833. AVe comply with pleasure, and refer our
read rs to the first page for it. It is an eloquent
recital of the slavery issue at that day, and will
be pcrueed with prollt even now. The note accompanying
it, signed " No Prophet," charges
that Mr. It it ett has not received justico in this
congressional district. So far as we arc concorned.
we take issue with ' X>> Prophet,'' on
this point. It is true, we do not helievo that
Mr. Hiiett is a safe loader for the times, and i
that his policy is not the true one l'?>r us. I!ut
the right to think and act for ourselves docs not, |
necessatily, do "injustice" to him or others, j
n is uur iijim iiuii privilege, ana we Miian not
abandon it at tlio pleasuro of other*. We have
published Mr. Uu kit's letter, his speech before
the Columbia (May) convention, and other arti- ;
cles of like character. So far, then, instead of
tlio complaint urged by " No Prophet" having
\ny force in its application to us, he should \
rather have done us tlio " justice " to state these j
facts, and givcu ys credit therefor.

of Gov. Gist's remarks at the closc of the review .
in that district, says:
In concluding his remarks, the Oovernor .
dwelt nt some length upon the political aspoct

Lincoln as more than probable, in which event
lie counselled separate State action at any and
eVery hazard, as the last alternative for our
novation, and felt satisfied, that the brigade,

A Virginian who hoard llio remark, and

Hon. AVm. I,. Yanckv?This gallant trihuue

this month, at the disposal of the National

him to speak in all the large cities of Pennsylvania

New York. The people of the North will thus
have an opportunity . f sooingand hearing a man
whom, through the misrepresentation id" the

Dunging wing of the Democracy were believed
to be gathering courage for a desparate struggle

Aii effort had been made, to etloct ? iinw.n >m

A tight between the (!he\ennes and Pawnees
was witnessed by a couple of pioneers
who were at the time hunting buffalo, and
was described by them as being a fearful
scene. The combatants numbered some thousands,
were all mounted, and kept constantly
circling, lying down in their saddles and tiring
over their horses' necks as they approached
the enemy. The light lasted two hours ;
quite a number were killed? and r.t tlv end

We copy the subjoined paragraph from the
Rogersvillc (Torn.) Sentinel, of the 11th inwtant
:
On Yesterday, Joshua Ballard, a noted desperado,
living near RuMCllville, in this county,
armed himself with a kind of axe he hud
made of a cutting box knife, went to the
house of Henderson Horner, struck him on
the shoulder and thigh with the axe, wounding
him so badly that he is not expected to
live. He then went to the house of Mrs.
llobinson, otruck her with the axe, wounding
her severely, kicked one of her children on
the arm and broke it; struck :it Crockett
(Jane on his horse, and cut through the backbone
of the horse. A warrant was pot out,
and he, retreating to bis house, refused to be
taken. The enraged crowd broke i'lto his
house, and instantly killed him ; lie was shot
in twenty-five places.

Spanish Expedition to Mkxito.?Letters
wore received at New Orleans 1))' (lie last
mail from Vera Cruz, to the effect that the
Constitutional Government had received certain
information that a large and imposing e.xpiditioil
to those waters is being fitted out by
the Spanish Government. It is not believed,
however, the expedition is of a hostile character,
any further than this, that it is designed
to lend a moral support *o the Miramon or
Church faction of Mexico. In connection
with this subject, it is stated that the urea test
preparations arc being made in the interior
for the third threatened expedition to the seacoa.st,
in view of which the fortifications of
Vera Cruz are being thoroughly repaired.?
We may, therefore, expect lively times on the
