POLITICAL. During the past fortnight, several important movements have been made upon the political chess board. Our readers remember that, two years ago, the South was astounded by the intelligence that the St. Louis District, in Missouri, had elected Blaib, a rank Freesoiler, to Congress. It was pronounced that the progress of Emancipa tion bad begun, in that important strong hold ol the South?the border State of Missouri. Southern men quailed before the prospect, and all oui councils were fearful. Right welcome, then, if the intelligence which has just reached us that the Democracy has asserted supremacy in the infectec District; that the recreant Blair and his creu have been totally routed; and that the strides o Abolition in our camp have been checked, it ii believed, effectually. This result is peculiarly gratifying in view o the struggle yet pending in Kansas. The lates intelligence informs us that the Lecompton con 9titution, submitted under the English Bill, hni been defeated by an overwhelming majority; am that the contest for supremacy in the Territory i must be fought de novo. What will be the end o > this new complication, it is impossible to foresee If justice be done to the South; if the integrity . of the English Bill be pressed, and the formatioi of another Constitution deferred until the requisite population be obtained by the Territory, the gam , may yet turn in favor of Southern institutions.Tbe Kansas fever at the North has abated sensibly while, in Missouri, the recent election shows i ' temper growing more intense. The chances ar for us, and nothing but a most unblushing fraui can deprive the South of the victory. But wil not the fraud be perpetrated ? , Will the* Nortl 1 adhere to the compromise made in the Englisl Bill? Will not the dominant majority, overturn 1 ing every consideration, demand the immediat 1 admission of Kansas, under a new and anti-slayer Constitution? Ayel "that's the question?" At home, several points have been presentei r which deserve to be indicated. On the outsid page, we publish from the Mercury, a report o the Speech of Senator Hammond, delivered at th + dinner given by his friends and neighbors of Beec! Island. It is sound to the very core?utterance : of the profound truth^of unerring statesmanship Bot we shall not indulge ourself extravagaufly.A brief notice in a subsequent number of th . Mercury casts a doubt as to the correctness of th< report; and, although we are inclined to pin on faith to every word of it, we shall aitait an expo = sition of our^reat Statesman's position, made b] r authority. , f rom tne same paper, we iukb au uccuum u i the speeches of-Col. Keitt and Col. Obr; at Wil 1 liamston, last week. It will be seen here, too r that the conservative party in onr State has gained ? a most valuable recruit. The manliness with whicl ? Col. Keitt comes forward and points to our trui position in the Southern ranks, deserves oar very hearty commendation. We cannot understand I how any one can mistake the policy of South Carolina, at this conjuncture; and wo indulge a stronger hope, day after day, that an entire unanimity of sentiment will ere long mark the devotion of onr people to the fortunes of the States' I Rights Democracy of the Uhioft. Col. Or* maintains^ of course, the policy, in which he was a leader in 1852. With the large body of Democrats in the fetalebe patiently Await* the honr when calm and united councils shall prevail. Our readers will be instructed by a pernoal of tbwe extracts. /THE ATX AilTIC TELEGRAPHI Our readers will learn with delight?a delight shared with the civilized world?that the great telegraph enterprise has been oonsumated ! The ends of the cable were landed, on the 5th of Au gust?signalizing the union of the Continents, and well-nigh the grandest era yet known to our race. Of the influences to be exerted by this mighty acMevemcnt it would, be rain to write?affecting, as they must, every department of civilized life and labor, and working revolution after revolcirioirin the grand scheme of human progress. A dispatch from Cthi's W. Frapp, the Chief Engineer, who has been prominent in every sta^e of the enterprizo, conveys the most reliable intelligence. The arrangements fof transmitting despatches have not yet been made, and may be delayed for several weeks; but knowing that it is an accomplished fact, wc shall await patiently the exhibition of this eighth wonder of the world. Mr. FiatD says, under date atTrinity Bay, Newfonnd; land, August 5 : ' The telegraph fleet sailed from Queenstown on the 17th July, and met at mid-ocean, and made ' the splice at one o'clock ou the afternoon of the 20th. The vessels then separated, the Agamemnon and Valorous bound for Yalen&a, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where they arrived yesterday. ^The coble will be landed, to-day. "The cable-laid is 1,G98 nautical and 1,9.50 - statute miles long from, the Telegraph House at ' Bull's Bay to the bead of Valencia harbor, and for more than two-thirds that distance, in water over two miles deep. : "The cable was payed out from the Agamcmqon at the same speed as froor the Niagara, and the , electrical signals sentand received through the whole length of the cable are perfect. Thp ma-' 'oMoery. worked most satisfactoryy, and' was not stopped for. a single moment. Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Woodbouse, the engineers, electriciaus nod officers of the.ship, andja fact, drery man on board the fleet; exerted themselves to the utmost to nuke the expedition sncoessfal, . and by the blessings of IEvine Provideuce, they succeeded. After the cable is "Untied and connected with the land lines, the Ni?.gara will discharge her eargo, belonging to the Telegraph Company, and will goto St. John's for coal, whence she will proceed s ^Halifax." ' ~ / w TH? RE1CKLES TRIAL. We are indebted to a friend in Charleston for a copy of the pamphlet, containing a full account of the.trial of John H. Beickles, for the murder of nttfn*y linstedt, which was had before Judge Wabdlaw, in Charleston, in June. The State was repcesentad by Attorney Gen. I. W. Hay^e and C., R.

We of course turned to. ascertain the (fenopemeid?to fipd that the prisoner had ;been acquitted-; but out interest in the case was . ib no degree diminished?augmented, rather, as we wounn through the labyrinth in which this ulost mysterious affair is hidden.

He excepts the Church and 1 State, which he styles, "not voluntary societies.'.' 9 Secondly:?"I demand the^rulc of right action s. to he pnraaed,,which makes ihtt (joinings temper-. . auce society) my doty jn.sight of God ; for there ^ AAA hiLAlA mn.al 'tin. wmwli. ?ri,U/inf a prtl* g I ?; - ? ?61 7" I "and in matters of morals, I acknowledge no other 9 rule than the will of God?a thus saitb the Lord."^ r "Dot; implies a rule of right action to hodstifute 8 itsodr."' " f.-.'- ? nmmm* [* ' These expressions, froth any individual suppo* j sed to be familiar with religion both natural and revealed, and especially with controversial -theology, would readily suggest the inference, that express and^positive preceptor example was demanded. The gentleman, however, in his second ar-. tkle, explains his emphatic and unguarded "demand" repudiates the reasonable inference, and defines anew his position: which is Thirdly:?"I held the will of God as revealed in the Bible, by precept expressed, implied, or in example, to be the rule?the only rule of moral obligation on man." _ ' * * .

The impottant consideration in reference to the amended proposition, is to ascer' tain what the gentleman implies by the language; 'the only rule of moral obligation."

CitEssuAW regards God as the natural, 1 but not the moral governor of the world?that God created "things and persons and having erea1 ted, he preserves and governs them naturally, > but not morally?God is no moral governor! The . proposition further shows, that the works of Creay tion reveal simply, that there is a God, bat thia 1 revelation conveys to man no idea of limoral duly in any given ca'te"? creation proclaims a natural Crea1 tor, Preserver, and Governor, bat no vibtfll Creator, Preserver, Governor, Lawgiver, and Judge ! ; The moral nature of man, whioh is "the birthright of his being," according to Dr. Tiiobswell, is hi ' the estimation of ?. A. Crenshaw pother "as# i non?en?e"?man comes into life?crazes on ' the !_ heavens, on the earth, and on himself, and looks 1 within, and feels no emotion?has no idea or moral ditty in any ease t! Such arc the avowed principles ' of the champion "of all christians" in reference to ' God and creation. On the subject ofProTidence, t be says: I Sixthly:?"The providence of God is a wanifes1 tatlon of his government to his creatures," (natural government) and reveals no rule for right action to map in 'moral mattmbi any give* eat** Hotreter Inexplicable?however it "uproot christi, anity, such is the published language ed E.

Confes, aura of Faiths and Gateobismi but will* glee .only f a single remark of Bishop Bptlxr: 'In the natural coarse of things, virtue at such is actually re- ' warded, and vice at such punished ; which seems to afford an-.ipstance or example, not only of gov* ernaent, but of moral government, begun^nd established ; moral in the strictest sense, though not iq. that perfection of degree, which religion teach. ee is to expect"?heceafttr. . ... k Seventhly:---"Reason in man properly exercised F implies another role to exercise it by." What the ' gentleman does really mean by this re mark, I cannot tell. As he denies the moral providence of God, and man'j moralnature, he may.mean to deny the existence of reason as an original faculty in man. Be his meaning what it may, it is something beyond question very different from that of the Apostle Paul addressing the Corinthians: I "Judge in yourselves?Doth not even.naiure itself f teach you, that kn." What "rule" had Aeistotlb ( and Cjcano "to exercigfe by," which enabled Dr. | Tiiorntyell to affirm of them: "There is a tea- , | -fold nearer approximation to the teachings of the Bible in Aristotle than there is in Palxy?more of | finity with the Gospel in Cicero than in the whole tribe of utilitarians." EeT. Dr. Alexander well | says: "Without reason there can be no religion." "This noble facaltj was certainly given to man to be a guide in religion, as well as in other things. He possesses no other means by whioh be can form a judgment on any subject, or assent to any truth; and it wonld be no more absurd to talk of ?"* -v t ' seeing without eyes, than of knowing anything without reason." Cut the champion of all christians "thinks for himself' sometimes, reverses the rule of such "Divines" as Thornwell and Alexander, and makes reason a blank, until he places her in a strait-jacket. EighthlyConscience in man, when unenlightened by a moral 'rale, variously decides on duty in a given case ; and is at most a transcript on the heart of man, of the moral law as written in the Cible." Here we have cumulation of error and contradiction. We find again a reversed rule. Conscience, like reason, is made a dolt, and then placed in a strait jacket! Let the champion ( of all christians establish bis principle, and desj troy the authority of conscience, and where are we ? It is scarcely extravagant to answer: In primeval chaos. He would have us give up "the J elemental prinoiples of right?the spontaneous recognition of the fundamental differenoes of right B and wrong" of Dr. Thornwell?"the fundamental and inevitable fact" of ReT. Thompson?"the ' only valid arguments for the existence of a God, and for the immortality of the human soul" of Sir William Hamilton. What says the Bible ? "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, B searching all the inward parts."?"When the Gentiles, &c., show the work of the law written in f their hearts." But^there is such a conscience as the gentleman avows: "Their conscience being weak, is defiled."?"Speaking lies in hypocrisy,^ having their conscience seared with a hot iron,"? "Were they ashamed when tney naa committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush." e "And ie at most a transcript on the heart of 7 man, of the moral law as trrilten in the Bible,"w 9 a strange mode of expression! He says: at moitI 1 One would think, if conscience show the whole | ' precepts of the moral law, its teaching is sufficient I for its office, without the qufclificfttioa of the words, ?'<f noil." But Low contradictory! Th"eg?nll* [ man has in effect said, that duty require* a wrifla? rule?he acknowledges no other?that the ligLt of tfatujre teaches no moraUduty?that God 18 not a mofal <mveriutr?that IILs PAtideOCe > i ? 7 ? * * i teaches no,nofol duty?be dethrones- reason?he wye' pointedly and expressly, that ".conscience .-.decides variously on daty in a given case," ami thus he dethrones her from her office as judge between right and wrong?accounts her umoral discernment" nons&nse?and assures ns ha acts sometimes *VQlfor f2SSS!(ML5SiSS^&- b??J gaod?policy" ?a "practical demonstration of the light in which he views conscience,"and the teachings of the Bible.

During the two preceding days large numbers of persons came td the hotel, which was drowtfed-to itentmost" capacity.. Special traifis yesterday from Greenville Quid Anderson brought an immense accession of peopl? to the meeting. The speaHpg began'about 10 o'etock. " The arrangement was for the candidates tot Congress from this Congressional District to speslf first r then the candidates for tW6 State Senate and the House to follow?nnd then Col. Orr.

Gen. Harrison and Dr. Erins, competitors for tie 8tate 8enate, then spoke. They were both in favor of giving the election of Electors to the people end against.re-opening the elate trade.. All the eantUdates for. the Legislature took pretty much the same ground. Mr. Moore took higher States Bights grounds than the r?st of themat least en eh Was the impression left upon my miad. . The meeting was broken up by a storm. It reassembled after*dinher, When, after the candidates had concluded, Mr. Keift-was introduced to the meeting. He was cordially received. Jle said he was reluctant to t^dress them, for his opinions differed on many points from those 6f the meeting; that he could not take part in tWrlocal elections, and therefore would abstain from any discussion of local matters.. He would content himself with saying that, his opinions on the matters referred to had undergone no change, fie skid he would then tcpoble them with a few remarks upon the duty and policy of the South. He went to Washington, last winter, resolved to oppose Mr. Buchanan's Eailsas policy, fie had denounced It thA precoding summer, and did not intend to yield any of his principles, fie found, opon his arrival in Washington, that the Sooth and tha Administration had got upon the wune platform and 'he. gave to the Admioistration hie earnest' support.? He hoped to be-abls to cootinue tfctt support, and he believed be wonld be able consistently to do so. Mr. Buchanan he believed to bo ranch sounder than most of his party.at the .North. There was now no practical issues before the country* and he believed we should not raise side'Issues, which could dbly distract arid divide onr people. Issues were coming swiftly in the nature of things, juid great issues, too. Let .us cultivate harmony among our peopleand prepare to theet thenr' He was laboring for the anion of the South ; he did aot expect to tbeunioo of the wbol$ 8outb, but A anion of some of the Sonthem States with Spnth Carolina, toetrilce for our eommon deTTvpntnce. This could be effected upon a prectioal Issue,'and as this issue was coming, he deprecated, wod resisted, all attempts tpdiridepurpeopleopou minor plies. JThe Democratic party, , he thought) was sounder now than it had been for years. It was so because tiia Soutn vu now tne majority, in tnat party, ami bad driven off from it numbers ot the tainted, timid and feeble members of it from the North. He would not predict, fait,' la hisjttdg-, ment, the Black Republicans would win the etafftioO in ISGO^ ^-sectional domination fkould not, and could sot, be tolerated by the South? Under such an administration as Mh Buchanan's," the South could and would continue in the Union. Dnder Black Republican rule she. could not safely, and be hoped would not. This he believed to be the pending issue, and to meet it bewisbedtoculfivate harmony among oar people, and the union of the South as far as pnutloabje. These views, had been ably advocated by the Charleston Afere*nj, and he believed that they contained and exhibited our policy. He spoke of parties as a spectator, for he was the member of qo national-organic zationi and he did not meryi to merge himself in one- The fight was noW waged between the Democratic and Republican portievand he sided With the former. He wonld aldit as longas be coald do so consistently. To the last he would plead for the harmony 'of-the people of the Stata. Col. Orr followed. n? said that he went further-thrift his collegue?that he bad affiliated with the National Democracy, and would do so as long ??r he cotfld The South, he said,'stood fairer bpon-the statute hook than she bad for-thirty years. This was owing to the Democratic party. The National Democratic part/was States Rights.? -ft bad embodied in its platform the resolution# of '96, and in the last election had been charged, til over the North, with being the nqlllgcatfati- party. It had annexed territory, fought oxer wart, modified the tariff, abolished the United States Bank, and repealed the Missouri-restriction. He thought the Democratic party .would .maintain. its ascendency. If it did the Union would ^?t*n<J. There were contingencies in which he wonH bejn favor of disunion, but he hoped he would never nee them, h waq a tremendous W tern elite, and he wished to avoid it. A govern meet eould be easily pulled down;'It was dificult to?rebuild ooe. He had hopes wfiich his colleague (Mr. Keftt) Had not?that the government would remain in the hands of the Democracy, ani that tfop 8ogth ifoflld he safe. He closed with a* beautiful tribute to his constituents^ for their firm and unfaltering support of him through bis whole Congressional oareer.' lie said he would give his riews more at length at the dinner to be given to him next Thursday at CraytonvHle.

Baajcxos DAtrJrroRT, in a letter to the Governor of Virginia, claims that General 4s#bbw Jacksow.wos born in Berkley County, Virginia, on the estate of James Strode. The* following is hit statement: "I claim bis birth for Virginia; on the declaration of the late Mrs. Shepherd, the relict of the late Captain Abraham Shepherd, and Mrs. Bedinger, the wi/b "of the late Major Henry- Bedinger, of Berkley County. These gentlemen were officers in the army of the Revolution. Theee ladles were respectively married, Mm. 8hepherd la the early part of the Revolution, and Mm* Bedinger, ? yonnger sister, at the conclusion. The war of 1812 gave to General Jackson celebrity, and the question of nativity was started, and among then advanced in life.who remained.in Berkeley and Jefferson taken therefrom at that period, were those ladies, from whom I learned that an Irish family named Jaokson earns to their father*, the late James Strode, somewhere about the year 1760, to whom their father furnished & small tenement and gave employment?that they were then young girts?that about 1764 or '66 a sou was born to that family, whom they named Andrew? *' * *' L-J *?* A?kn? anna O1/1A<* tkat Kaina IOAI vbojt oau inu v?uot ouuo viu????u?o uviu^ themselves without brothers, they with their two elder slaters, sought and obtained the consent of their fatbor and mother, when in 1766 the J&ckrods were making arrangements to emigrate to the Waxbaw settlement in North Carolina, to obtain from the Jaoksons their youngest son, Andrew, to be raised as a brother?but were unable to do so, though they went fire miles on the road imports ning?tbe Jacfesons were poor, the Strodes baring all that could be desired. It sterns as if the hand of destiny was in the matter, and that Andrew was a fated boy. Many years after I had received information from these ladies, I think in 1824 early, when Gen. Jackson was put forward by his friends for the Presidency, I met with Geo. Jobnstoir, a Scotchman, a very aged man jn pjy neighborhood, who in early life I think was in ' Bradock's defeat, and a soldier tbroagh the Revolution, and who had resided near Mr. Strode's residence from 1760 to the Revolution, {immediately inquired if he bad ever known a family of the name of Jackson, who had resided on Mr. Jas. Strode's estate, previous to the Revolution; if so, how many children they had, and of ifhet geg, and what became of the family ? He replied promptly that he knew such a family; that they had three sons, the youngest of whom was called Andrew (Andy as he called him,) who was carried on the hip?that is, was not able to travel, when, in 1768, they went to the Wawbaw settlement in North Carolina. No history or biography of Gen. Jackson had then been ifritten, and if ope h^d been, Johnston was illiterate, and he had no idea of the object of my inquiry.
