At the conclusion of the exercises at the stand, the citizens, preceded by the Ladies, repaired to the tables in an adjoining grove, where the greatest profusion of viands, both light and substantial, awaited them. After regaling themselves to their heart's content, the company separated towards different quarters; but most returned to the stand, where the Bands entertained them with their best music.

Editors :?Permit mc to say a word respecting the celebration of yesterday, at Ebenczervillo. The concourse of citizens was unusually large?numbering from nine to eleven or twelve hundred?and though the day was excessively warm, the best possible order prevailed. The decorum observed was in every way befitting a religious assembly, and nothing occurred which could by any possibility interrupt the most sensitive speaker. During the deliver}' of the Oration, which consumed some thirty-five or forty minutes, the attention of the whole audience was enchained by the theme?the. eloquence and manners of the youthful speaker. The whole was heard with the most pleasurable emotion, and without the least sign of listlessncss. The music, under the circumstances, was very good. One of the Bands had been out of practice for sometime?the other was incomplete in num ber?and the two had never practiced together before. Yet notwithstanding these disadvantages, tbe music was good, and discoursed with a very good will. In the Grove where the tables were erected, this vast assembly found ample accommodation. The entertainment was profuse, consisting of everything commnu to the season, and prepared in the most perfect manner. The Ladies had done themselves great credit in preparing a pic-nic and spreading a beautiful table; but the gentlemen were not wanting on their part in furnishing the more substantial. In addition to the already well supplied tables, they sent up a great variety of well barbecued meats, smoking hot from the pits, under the superintendence of the veteran, Jottx Rf.kves. There might be seen, also, members of the Committee of arrangements, all busily employed : some carving, some bearing trays lnden with meats, some supplying water of the coolest and purest kind, and'.ll urging their "met* to rnti-fy them* selves to the full, assuring them that there was plenty in reserve. The writer, in strolling about the Grove, recollects of seeing among others, busily employed in administering to the wants of the assembly, Avery, and Barnett, and Admits, and Alston, and Matthews, and the Fewells?two or three?and Rawlinson, and Broach, and Thomnsson, and McOul* lough, probably others, whose names are forgotten : all busy in their vocation, waiting upon their guests, and what is hotter still, those guests universally professing to be satisfied with their entertainment. The citizens of Ehenozer and the surrounding country, deserve the highest encomiums for their liberality in providing a feast, and their exertions to render every one comfortable. The Houses of those in the immediate vicinity were thrown open, and the citizens for a considerable distance around, vied with the citizens of the place to render the festive occasion, one which is not likely soon to he forgotten. It is doubtful, if so many people were ever so well entertained?certainly there never j COUItl HOI IICIJJ MIMniUg llllll 1-i'imw.ii.fi, ....? p ? t. to bo done.

As there is a possibility that the question who shall he our next President may be thrown into the House of Representatives for solution, we extract from the Constitution the provision which regulates the action of the House in this important matter: Art. 12?Sec. 1. The electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by ballot for President and Vice President; one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves ; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and they shall make I distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice President, and the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the sent of government, of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; the President of the Senntc shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then he counted ; the person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be the President if such number be n majority of the whole number of electors appointed : and if no person Lave such a majority, then from j the persons having the highest nunioer, noiexcceuing three on the list of those voted for ns President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately by ballot the President. Put in choosing the President, the vote shall be taken by Stat is, | the representation from each State having one vote ; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of I a member or members from two-thirds of the States nnd a majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice. And if the Hoiuc of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them before the fourth of March next following, then the Vice President shnll act as President, ns iu aise of death or other constitutional disability of the President. 1 Parts Press on the Dismissal of Crumptou. The Anglo-American question is examined with j. more or less development, by the Paris journals. In the observations of all there exists a sentiment of surprise at the attitude assumed by the British Government, hut the Assetnblee Nolionale alone j expresses its views in undisguised language. We j extract the following passages; ! "Scarcely has Mr. Cmmpton set foot on British | soil than lie is openly disavowed bj* those to whom ! he entrusted the defence of his public character ! ami of his honor, tarnished in a cause which was ! that of his country. Ho is accused of levity; lie is | declared to be incapable of the functions entrustj ed to his management; and he has returned to | London in order to be present at the triumph of Mr. Dallas. These accusations arc not only strange I in existing circumstances: they appear to us. we j may be permitted to say ra pnmnt, supremely unIjnst. In mixing himself up with this miserable J question of recruits, Mr. Crampton only followed j the instructions ot ins. government, ns me wnoie i world knows. It was not only in America that j England directed her agents and consuls to proj cure for her men who were willing to exchange their blood against her guineas. ! "The same instructions were given to her agents i in Italy and Germany, nnd wo have witnessed their results. Mr. Crnmpton only followed the general instructions given. This was declared solemnly by the English government ns long ns there existed hope of his remaining in Washington. To-day Mr. Crampton is only a compromised instrument, which it is desirable to get rid of. 'Ho | i? an unsteady man, all of whose acts, cannot be justified." With respect to the affront offered him, j after nil that has been written nnd said in his dej fence by the ministers of her Majesty, the insult does not, it is true, affect him nlnnc; it rebounds i on the government nnd the country which he re| presented. Hut then it was offered witli so many forms, and was accompanied with advantageous offers. Everything can, therefore, be nrrnnged fur the best. Manchester will not be short of cotton, and here exists, beyond mistake, the whole secret. England is under the dependency of the United States, and 'Rule Britannia' is forgotten when it is necessary to procure the article indispensible for the life of its population. It is far from our intention to blame the prudence, the circumspection, and even the humility of the government and statesmen of England, which arc commanded j in the name of such great interests. Rut, ncveri theless, we will permit ourselves to remark that the spectacle offered by the British administration by no means corresponds with the ideas wc have formed of a great government. This moderation, I this pntionce. pushed to the limits of abnegation, in the presence of a cool a?<i premeditated insult; this desertion of nr. agent who was declared up to the last moment worthy of responsibility; this facility of turning and of viewing matters in their best light, astonishes us above r.ll. Hut, after all. the honor nt stake is not our own. and it is not for us to take it under our protection." - ? ?? ? Tile Brooks and Sunnier Case. Hon. l\ S. Brooks appeared before .Iuilge Crawford nt 10 o'clock this morning, to answer to the charge of assault upon Senator Sunnier. Mr. Brooks was accompanied by Senator Butler and n number of other friends. The District Attorney appeared for the United States, and John A Linton, esq., and Hon. Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, for thcdefencc. The District Attorney read the correspondence that had passed between him and Mr. Sumner ; a letter from Mr. Sumner, dated Silver Spring June 20. in which he expressed his inability to attend on the day assigned for the trial: a letter from the District Attorney to Mr. Stunner, stating that witnesses were in waiting 1'roin a distance, who ""-'amo /> Vwi iivtiniiiifh] ntnl !ni.nivStifr wlmf ilny his health would permit liini to nppcar, and it" he would ho willing to accept the proposition of defendant's counsel to summit the case upon the evidence before the llouue committee ; n letter of Mr. Sumner in reply, exptessing surprise at the communication of the District Attorney?that he (Sumner) had nothing to do with the case directly or indirectly?that its whole conduct belonged to the Attorney of the United States : a letter from Mr. Key. replying that though the conduct of the j case belonged to the Attorney of the United States. I he diil not suppose that in any case the desire ol" | a public prosecutor to confer with and consult the ' wishes of the injured part}- would excite surprise; , that having received no nnwor to his inqnirios the | trial would proceed on the Hth of July, at which time he Imped Mr. Sunnier would be able toattend; ' a letter from Mr. Sutnner that lie would not probably be able to attend at that time and reiterating ! his desire not to take any part in the proceeding. The examination of witnesses was then entered ' upon. Win. V. Deader, .T. W. Sinmnton, Hon. I,. M. Keiit, Senator I'enrce, Senator Toombs, Dr. I ijoyie, Dr. l.indsay, and Senator )??;njumin, were | examined, the evidence being substantially the I same as that elicited before the Congressional Committee. Senator Benjamin testified to Sumner's speech | having been printed in advance of its delivery. Senator Toombs, while on the stand at the request of the cmiiwl for the defence, read from the j speech of Mr. Sumner the portion attacking Senator Butler and South Carolina. The evidence being aouol uded, Mr, Brooks rose, and the throrged court room listened In absorbed silence while he proceeded, in n few brief words, j most appropriately expressed, tniuldrcss the court, | as follows: May it ploa>-e your Honor: May I be permitted j to say ft word* [Judge Crawford?Certainly.] I 1 appear in person before this honorable court sint; ply to receive its judgement, I would have preferi red that the person upon whom the assnut was ' committed had been present to answer whether I or not his speech, which libeled nty State and my ! blond, was printed before its delivery in the .Sen! ate. 1 feel confident that under oath he could not i have denied this fact, which with duo deference to j your Honor, 1 regard as material to my defence, inemniioli as a libel is cmitrnrr to law, and to that I extent woulil operate in extenuation of my de: fence. 1 would like to have itujuired of liim, in person, as to the decree of his peisonnl injuries, and to have been informeii in what wav he could reconI olle that pert of hi" statement as to the words used hv tne when the assault, was made, with the scnleneo which immediately succeeded tliis lni:nuago in his testimony lieforc the Investigating Oommitlee. and which is as follows; "While these words were passing from his [my j lips, |ie coniineneed a succession of blows with a ; heavy cane on my hare head, (>)/ the /h\if of which , 1 ini* *f a mint so us to lose sight," It would have gratified me had he been compel, led to answer under oath as to the violence of the tii"t blow, which, I aver, was but a tap, and intended to put him on hi? guard, l!ut. sir. he is conveniently and deliberately absent and on travel, notwithstanding but six days ago this case was postponed on account of his extreme indisposition ami the materiality of his tos1 timony | and yet, with all these disadvantages, [ prefer to receive the judgment of the court than to continue in suspense. It is not my purpose to address any evidence in defence. I have already accomplished more than half of the journey of life, nnd this i" the first time tlint it has been my misfortuuc to lie arraigned before any judicial tribunal as a breaker of any law of j my country. I confess, sir, and without shame, that my sensibilities are disturbed by my novel , position, and I have but to express my profound I regret that iu discharging a duty imposed upon 1 me by my own sense of right and the sentiment bf \ the gallant people it is my pride and honor to repj resent, I am constrained as a consequence to ap1 proach you as a violator and not as a maker of ; the laws. In extenuation of my olFeRce, permit me to say ] that no extraordinary power of invention is requisite to imagine a variety of personal grievances, which the good of society and even public morality require to be redress, i; and yet no adequate legal remedy may Vie had. So also arc those cases which may fall under the condemnation of the letter of the law, and yet like considerations will restrain its penalties. The villian who perverts the i best feelings of the better sex, and rewards unsuspecting devotion with ruin, may bid defiance to this honorable court. But where a sister's dishonor is blotted out with the blood of her destroyer, an intelligent and wholesome public opin- ! I ion, embodied inan intelligent and virtuous jury, [ j always has, and always will, control the law, and I popular sentiment will applaud what the hook I may condemn. j It is the glory of the law that it is founded in reason. But enn that reasoning he just which is not regardful of human feeling'' Sir, no one knows better than yourself that such a reproach does not rest upon our jurisprudence, for, even the stern letter of the law touches with tenderness the husband who slays in the act the usurper of his bed. The child who kills in defence of its pa- | rent is excused by the law, which is ever regard- | i mi ni mo virtuous impulses m r.aiurc. j By a parity of reasoning, patriotism is regard- i ctl by every nation upon earth as the cardinal jioj litical virtue.

Many, very many, of the people of the Northern Jem States look .upon the howling of the colored i race in servitude as an offence against humanity nnd n violation of Christian principle. Of these a : large number arc sincere iu their opinions: but a I very large number arc not. They .ire sustained. not only l?y tlx* Agitation at home; ; but by the tendency of public sentiment abroad: and ns the discussion 1ms grown more serious, it litis become j more violent. But are we not oljigod, nftor nil, to take a prnc! ticnl view of the subject? Are we not compelled, j by the force of circumstances, by natural causes, | and by the irresistible necessities of public policy. I to look otherwise upon the subject, and that, ton, j on the score of humanity ? j We must not forget how this servitude conimen; cod in this country, nor how it has made progress. It has. by the permission of Providence and the inscrutable laws which control the interests of | nations, increased upon us, and become part and j parcel of the country, its political, industrial and j commercial strength. It lias not dwindled away though we have advanced in power: it is an element of our towering greatness : in short, it has become a practical <|uestioti.?one in which there is no desire to exclude the efforts of benevolence, but which outgrows all individual interests and ' all private feeling. It i? not any longer a question to tie dealt with as a moral abstraction, in which our Howards may use their personal influence : it is one foreseen, foreshadowed and provided for in that great j instrument <>f our confederation which we call our j Constitution, and under which we have become ) one of the greatest nations that ever inhabited the J globe. It is a political economical qnc.-tion. and 1 ns such only can it now he dealt with. | When the Constitr tiuii was adopted, slavery I was universal in the States. The slave trade it I self was for a time recognized as a portion of the j commere of the country, and its extinguishment was only prospective. It was a difficult problem, its angles wore many, its elements were conflicting. it gave rise to rr.iudi and long debate. Jlitt finally an adjustment and a solution were found in the present constitutional provisions, ami propj erty in persons was recognized as a basis of representation nnd a guaranty for the safety of the Southern States. This arrangement became indispensnhle to secure the political independence of the nation and the particular sovereignty of the States, jealous of their rights, and many of j them reluctant, up to the Inst moment, to make I nnv surrender. When these concessions were made, there were hut aboti. I!(H?,t)i!ft slaves in the I country. Still they were largely taken into the ; account when the ratio of representation was fixed | upon. Tt was not long, however, before it was found ; out that certain products?such a? cotton, rice, j im lign ami subsequently sugar?were peculiar to j our Southern climate, and their cultivation seemed a natural as well as an industi ial necessity. | Slave labor, because it was cheap labor adapted to the growth of these staples, became n political l as well as an economic resource. They soon ini terestcd the whole world. The whole word wanted ] them. Commerce required them?social life deI ni a ruled them. j No human self-denial could withstand these j wants. Without t|ul latino orcniron. winiotii me i food of rici*, without I Jit1 aliment of sugar. the j o?.ii<litioii of our own race would not have been "> ! rapidly improved. j Slave labor, therefore, became an important ! nuxi'iarv in increasing the comforts of America i :in<l I'nropi'ninl finally, under this irresistible. im| pulse the colored population have become neeesj savy the cultivators of fields where while men I cannot labor, and whose products were actually ! indispensable. They now number, therefore, nearly throe millions and without their aid one' half the confederacy would he without ngiicnltu| ral value. Nor is this all. The Northern .States j would lose most of their commerce. Their ships i would rot?their warehouses would be empty.? i Those persons who flippantly ignore all these j questions must have taken leave of their judg! ments if they adopt any other view of the matter, j Besides, no race of men on the face of the globe have thus far. been more cared for than this, and none have been better protected. But we are met with two objections: First, that the moral aspect of this state of things is bad: that the rights of i humanity are disregarded and trampled on. But j is it so? Have we not found, by the actual expej rience both of England and France, that liberation ; has not ndvnneed the condition of these people? j What is the issue of things in the We-t Indies but the di-cav, demoralization and ruin of the emancipated ? is not every art resorted to by those very j nations to find other races to do their work, and 1 to submit to a more rigorous discipline? What ! is the meaning of the introduction of Coolies, Chinamen and Smith American Indians into tlx* ; islands of the Antilles, lint a confession that the new system is an entire failure ? We cannot shut our eyes to the fart. The principle of' liberation lias no more elevated the colored race than the erection of our hundreds of churches lias thoroughly reformed the oily of New York. On the score of liuoinnih and religion alone, their enn\nI eipation from servitude may be claimed to be no emancipation from vice. Civilization, industry and good morals have not advanced one step for nil the efforts of the liberators, but the contrary.? There arc about twenty millions of the coiorod races in the world, and the American slaves sur * 'III 11 pass them in every respcei. im.v mums ?i mi iiave mndo any advances in eil|ir.iiti<in, religion, cr social comfort. Next, the South may have good cause to say, that as slave property was made an element of ! political power hy the Cramer* of our Constitution, so by that instrument itself they have n right to require Its recognition now. The balances of power were kept even by these compromises from necessity, and they cannot now be kept evenly without them. We hare prospered under this practical adjustment of things, and when we cease i to recoguize it we shall as a nation cease to be.? ' ' . ! Putting all other considerations nut of question, | this alone is worthy of serious thoughtfulness.? ; The South and the North must grow together : equallj in their sovereign power, or they must be j ! forever separated. The Kansas bil^of Mr. Douglas, whatever form t it may assume in its details, is a rectification of j this disturbed Imlunce of power, and in that light j it may he frankly acquiesced in. Suppose this is ' the tea! object, why should we blink the ques[ timi 1 It is of little moment who succeeds in hold- ; ine the reins of government for four years, if the ' : government itself but firmly-lasts. We must not consider men so much as we should the Union.? j This bond is nil that makes us great and happy ; and prosperous. We may, indeed, expect some of our favorite partisans to be damaged in the struggle. When j I mi army goes into the field it expects to lose in | the ranks and from its leaders. x It is the fnte of wnr?il w tlin lnt of mini So WO must l.ot COTO > for those casualties in defence of our great national unity. We will cure the wounded, and we will j bury tiiedcnd with nil the honors of war. Let, then, the Kansas question he settled in the rijrht spirit. Let tho South, if it wishes, have fair , play. Let the Territory come in as a slave State, ! and there will be no further cause of discontent, j The Union must ami shall be preserved. From Kaiikiix. Camp Shawxkk, near Wcstport, Mo., June 28. ' Editor Curiil in it Tiwr-i: Another day of excite- j merit and confusion is at hnnd, in consequence of j I a dispatch having been received that a company ! | of Abolitionists from Illinois would arrive this day 1 en route for Lawrence, armed with Sharpe's riiles, i and swearing vengeance upon the pro-slavery party, hut we arc too much accustomed to their boast- j ing to be alarmed nt yt.

I can safely say that ! the time for action has come; they have forced it j upon us, and shall we become laggards when the South bids us act ?

Neither of the regular, trains reached our depot yesterday. Two breaks have been made in the road above here. About TO feet of the tressel on Reaver Dam Swamp has been washed away, the other break is in the tressel at Spearman's, but this one is short and will soon be repaired. We have '.earned that the train from Laurens j met with a sad accident As it was coming down, the embankment above Martin's depot suddenly gave way, and tlie cars were thus thrown together and very much mimed, but we have heard of no i loss of life, or serious injury to any person. The bridge on the public road leading by Judge O'Ne,ill's Mills, on Rush river, lias been partly washed away. The bridge at Robo's Mills has been also washed gway. The bridge at Chandler's, now Williams' Mills, lias also shared the fate of Robo's. The bridge 1 across Reaver Dam, on the road to Higgitt's ferry, lias been swept away. We ean bear nothing definitely of the damage between this place and Columbia. A train was sent from Helena to meet the train from Grccn. villo at the breaks above Silver Street; returning it run down as far as l'omaria, leaving the cars at | l'omaria : (he engineer (Mr. R:*own)ruii the engine j ; down as far as ARfoti, there finding the river high ( ; and rapidly rising, he thought it not prudent to ; cross, but started to return to l'omaria. Thetres- | sel on Trim's Creek had been washed away after j the engine had passed over, and Mr. llrown not discovering it, the engine was precipitated into the j creek, ami but for timely assistance, Mr. Brown j would have been drowned. We have learned noth- i irig from below Alston. Report says the river was ' up to within two feet of the bridge at Alston. The loss to Messrs. Hair ami Singleton will be ' severe. They were engaged tilling the tressel at j Reaver Dam, and much of the earth has been j washed away. One portion of tlio culvert lias also I been removed. Their loss ut this point alone is j estimated nt Sl.OtMi. The ruin in the western side of the District has been more severe than in the I j others. Fine, fiehls of corn on the creeks and riv- ! ers have been jirostrnted, hut as the corn is vet , young. it is hoped they are not seriously injured, i We hear of one firmer on Broad river who has j h.nl about three hundred bushels of oats swept ' away by the river, lie had just finished cutting I them.?.V. / rn/ J/iiiror. ? u?j? ?

About : eight hundred persons were present, and all were , i armed. , Both branches of tho Legislature met on the ( 4th. Col.

Sumner told the citiaens that he would not disarm j '* 'y * . - W ' * " *? \ * v * js?~ 'r-- r '' & them or break up the Convention, but that he had orders to dissolve the .Legislature, and would do, so. He then repaired to the Hall of Representatives and said: "I am called upon to perform the most painful duty of my life. Under the authority of the President I am here to dissolve this Legislature, and in accordance with these orders I command you to-disperse. God knows I have no party feelings in this matter, and will have none while I hold my present position in Kansas. I have just returned from the border, where I have heeti engaged in sending home Missourians, and am now here with instructions to disperse this Legislature. I again command you to disperse." Judge Schuyler asked if they were to understand that they were to he driven out at the point of the bayonet! Col. Sumner replied, "I will use the whole force under my command to enforce these orders.'' The House then dispersed. i A similar scene was enacted in the Senate. The Convention is preparing resolutions endorsing a State Government with the Topeka Constitution. Fears of an invasion kept large numbers from attending. ' " "Token Water." The nbsrptatulntion of Senator Sumner, on the day before the trial of Mr Brooks came off btfore the Criminal Court, has generated a hearty laugh over Washington. The truth is, it would never have done for the Republican cause to have sub iniiie'i linn iu ji cmsn uxniiiiuiiiiuu upuii iuc wuuess stand ; as it was well understood around the court house that such an event would as surely have exploded the peculiar statements of his re.nmrkahie testimony given before the House Investigating Committee, as his appenrance under the gaze of the public would have exploded the trick of making him out, for political effect, a dmjlfally injured rnnu. Gentlemen who saw bim on the morning of the day before .yesterday, as be was about leaving Washington in the enra, conceive that he never looked in better condition. Yet, as it seems that those who have him in custody-are determined to play out to the end the game ofpoblic deception with reference to his condition, ire shall not he surprised to learn that he enters-Bos* ton on crutches, with head shaved and bound Ap-, and limbs trembling as though bending under the weight of a half a century ot premature years. The distant render may rely on it, that if bit ' " appearance in the court house nt Ahe recent trial would not bare exploded the humbug, he would surely have been there to confront his Assailant.? The act of running him off at such n time, prettyr: much as the thing is done on the underground railroad, involves positive proof of the ftilse preten ccs nnd liumhnggery of the current Republican party representations concerning his condition*- and it is so appreciated in this city.?
