IIo will remain North until the Presidential election. Minute MenThere is a general organization throughout the State of " Minute Men." Companies, uniformed, arc being formed, then battalions, then Regiments. They arc to bo ready at a minutes warning to take up arms at the comma ml of tlio proper authorities. The fooling is warm and (loop in the districts below. Lincoi,.i'selection will fire the hearts of thousands of gallant Southerners, who will rush to the rescue of their rights and honor, arms in hand. The patriotic citizens of Pendleton have organize 1 a company of " Minute Men," numbering near or quite eighty. Let them keep their arms furbished, and, when the South calls, none will more readily respond, or distinguish themselves lit the conflict. A Large Sale Of Itoal listato, belonging to the " German Settlement Society," was nia'lo at Walhalla, on Friday last. Much of it was sold at good juices, which inJicatos tho prosperity of that spirited community. " 'i'lio Falls," the most valuable tract, was not sold.

Much is boing slid in relation to tho session of the Logislatura soon to commence. The Charleston Courier says: "Tub Si*k.oi at.

Money pmicn arc not far oil, and hard times are at the door of so;ne people. Th'o Charleston J'Ji>ciii)ii/ Xiirs says: " l'lio Banks refuse to discount even Cotton drafts all over the Southern country, payable after the first of November. This is the first impediment to commerce betwoeir tho States as the earliest fruit of tins 'irrepressible conflict.' Tint this will react on the Northern cities, and indirectly on the working classes of the North, whose mcchanical pursuits are sustained by tho money of the South, requires no gift of prophecy to foretell." Coming out Soon. Tlic new scrips of the " Southern Presbyterian," to bo c litod I?y Rov. A. A. Porter, will l?o commenced ill Coluruhin, on tho 3d November next. The Foreign News. T!iO foreign news is interesting. In Liverpool, cotton hud slightly advanced. Oarabai.m is still victorious, and he and the Sardinians arc marching on Koine. The I'.me, in an address, bitterly denounces Sardinia and the policy of non-intervention by the European powers. lie exhorts Catholic countries to render assistance ricccssary to waive his authority.

The consequcncos resulting therefrom will be great. The question?who will bo elected? ban not been solved. Time nlono can do that. Lincoln's obnnevs arc best of any in our opinion ; but strong, united efforts should be made for Dkbckrmrid >k ! It is irnnnrnlli-i o " v understood, that, if Lincoi.n is oloctod, disunion will follow. This is n grave mutter. The South should, thou, Imiul for the contest; and no measures, in this State, should procipitato | action. We are ready, waiting. Let not the j hasty ?r ill-timed action of South Carolina fi ns- ' trate the grand design and aim of a Southern C'onfcdoraey. Southern UnionTho ltielnuond A'tif/nircr, in an article upon j political matters iu that State, has the following I paragraphs in relation to the unity of the South i at llic approaching election : " A perfect union of all parlies at tho South might possibly dct'oat Lincoln in New York, for ! if the people of the North could bo advised of I what would lie tho action of tho Southern Statos, j they would never consummate iho election of Lincoln, attended as it will bo with the wreck of the I'nion and the ruin of Iho North as well as Iho 1 South. The silly cry of disunion will not avert the calamity?nor could Virginia prevent it, if every man within her limits were opposed to it.? Any one of the Gulf Stales can effect equally as much towards Iho dissolution of the Union as all of the Southern States together. That Lincoln's ! eloction will be submitted to is the hope of very , many people*in Virginia, l>ut the belief that such an event will be acquioseed iu by all of the Southj era Statos is not entertained by any man in Yiri ginia. | The Slato of Virginia, nnd nil tho Sonthorii Stale*, will vole for fjrcekinridgo; and (hi:! restil! ; is now rendered certain by the Northern elections. The great unanimity which exists at the North in favor of Lincoln bus produced and will coniinuo to cfi'ect a corresponding unanimity at the South ?but unfortunately, this result will come too late to do any good at th-j North. Lincoln, wo greatly fear, will be elected on the same day that fin Is the body of the people at the South almost a unit in opposition to him.

" *_ Foil titk Wkst.?Wo always regret to see our old friends ftiul fellow citizens leaving the homo of their nativity and youth, says the A tide, on (fttnnd seeking a home in tho far West, but we think it proper and just to say that the removal of James Young, l'si|., from I'ickens District, has cast a gloom over our feelings, tho like of which we have not felt for years.
