perfectly dry, and besides the failure
of the crops, is causing great inconvenience
by hindering transportation between the

has gone up-from ?10 to S20 per barrel,
and corn is now selling here for ?3 per (

The Cincinnati Commercial confesses
that its pride has been taken down e
no little by the census takers, who have v
reduced the reputed population of the city,11
**250,000, to a fixed fact of about 170,000
It seems that other great western cities un-;r
dergo a similar razeeing in the hands of j
the United States Marshals. Chicago,)
which was said to have from 130,000 to f
150,000, is likely, judging from the return t
so far in, to show a population of less than
100,000. Milwaukie, instead of 75,000, as t
claimed, will have less than 50,000. St o
-**ii. Louis has about 130,000, though she has i
been rated as high as 180,000. Indianopolis,
boasting of a population of about 30, f
000, has been razeed to a good deal under b
20,000. Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton
have been shaved down from 20 to 40 per !

It is too common to hear the people I ^
of the Palmetto State summarily set down!^
as the embodiment of all that is unreason- L
able and hotheaded The following para- L
graph, which we find going the rounds of L
the Northern papers, throws some light od ,
this subject: The benevolent Miss Dix, i
whose philanthropic labors in behalf of the c
insane reflect much credit on her humanity, (
and have been attended with wonderful .
success, states, in one of her publications, ,
that, in the New England States the pro- i
portion of the insane to the whole population
is about one in 600; in the Middle i
States, one in 700 : and in the Western
States, one in 1300. The most unfortunate
is Rhode Island, where there is one to every
503; and the State less affected than all
others with this calamity is South Carolina,
where there is but one iosane person to every
6058.
The census takers have already
found out the oldest man in the United
States: He lives in Washington county,
Ohio. He is a black man, 115 years old,
named Micajah Phillips. lie served in
Virginia as a preacher, and even now, at
such an advanced age, occasionally preaches
to the colored citizens of his neighborhood.
Both physically and mentally he is quite
active. His home was near Yorktown,
Virginia, when Cornwallis surrendered, |
and he remembers well that event. lie
says he 'had been going to see the gals a
long time when the revolution broke out.'
He invariably calls that famous war the
'resolutionary' war. Another interesting
fact connected with his history is, that he
was bought in Richmond, Virginia, near
the close of the last century, and brought
to the island just below Parkersburg by
the celebrated Blannerhasset. He is without
doubt the oldest person in the Southern
District of Ohio, and probably in any
Western State.

THE REVIEWS.
Friday and Saturday last were the days set
apart for the "Governor's Reviews" in this District.
The officers of the 4Gth Regiment convened
for drill, at Ebenezer, on the first day, but
during the night a heavy storm arose, of rain,
wind, &c., which lasted through the ensuing
day, and, consequently, there was no parade.?
The Colonel and his subordinates, it is proper
to state, were on the ground.
Monday and Tuesday, were the days set apart
for the 34th Regiment. The first was quite
showery, but not sufficient to cool the ardor of
the volunteers, so the militia had to "buckle to,"
and an excellent drill was effected between showers.
Tuesday broke forth cloudy and threaten

the Adjutant General had gone home?
the Major General was also among the missing?
so, on Brigadier General Glenn devolved the
principal duties of the day. The companies turned
out in full numbers, the Regiment having
more than its compliment, with the addition, of
the Cadets of the Military School, who were, as
Light Infantry, accorded the right, while the
"old guard" of King's Mountain maintained po
sition on the extreme left. The evolutions were
well performed, and with a willingness creditable
to all parties.
Gen. Glenn, before dismissing the parade,
addressed the Regiment in a few remarks appropriate
to the occasion. He did not believe
that the Military system in this State was a
"humbug," as it had been termed, but thought
that now was a time when the system should be
more fully carried out. Northern aggression
would soon force the South to arms, and her de

The Union must perish when the "rail splitting

those who had elevated him to the position he
jccupied, and concluded by introducing
Col. E. C. McLure, of Chester, aid-de camp
:o His Excellency, Gov. Gist. Col. McLure's
>peech was an eloquent one, and most gracefuly
delivered. He apologized for the Governor's
ibsence, as unavoidable, and, without lame ex:use,
proceeded in a truly patriotic vein to stir
ip the citizen soldiery, to a just appreciation of
their rights and wrongs. He had once esteemed
he "glorious Union," glorious no longer, when
Southern equality is lost. A .Southern Canftuiiracy

'Jaspers," of our town ; added to which were
he gallant Cadets (our "Zouaves") who took

In North Carolina, the Democratic majority

by which champagne can be kept on draught. A

There were only thirty-three deaths from violence

infernal machine, called the centrifugal gun, is
on exhibition at Columbus, Ohio, which will
throw five hundred balls a minute, with the
force of an ordinary rifle, without the aid of
powder or cap, by merely turning a crank like
a coffee mill. A military company, composed
entirely of negroes, has been formed in
Chicago. The ranks at present number forty
members. The New Cotton receipts at New
Orleans up to the 7th instant., footed up 480
bales, most of which classed "Good Middling,"
and sold at 11J cents per lb. A Lincoln net

The title of the book conveys a very good idea rftn
of the compass treated, but an idea of the varie- jnt(
ty and interest and raciness can be got only from wri
reading the work. as
The Five Years begin with 18-18. The free- 8??
doin of personal narrative is preserved through- ^
out. And though it is the book of a Missionary, fav
} it is not overcharged with reports of camp meetings
and preachy prosings which so naturally ^
stave off the general reader. The book is geni mei
al; and though unmistakably clerical, deals in the
information so popular that the laic reader feels 8UC
em
to have some part in its sympathies. The range rj
of topics is vast?whatever seemed curious or org
r, high, low, and medium. The variety is as
it as the map of China. Dr. Taylor tells us
women, dinners, kites, singular oustoms, reions,
fiboes, schools, punishments, babies,
bs, names, left-handed customers, japonicas,
w-d'ye-does, tea, dogs, bridges, rats, smallc,
rice, brides, Shanghai chickens, Yang-tszingmud,
and broken China?especially broken

V Washington letter says : Some of the most
clligent and patriotic men of the South have
tten to friends here in a very desponding tone
to the prospects of the Union. They do not
how the election of Lincoln is to be preven;
and this course will, in their opinion, tend I
precipitate a crisis, which may, under more '
orable circumstances, be long deferred, or
oily averted. Some gentlemen write that the ]
ith ard the North mutually hate each other, j
t we arc two people, and that two govern- i
ats must be the necessary consequence for
benefit of both parties. One more Congress
h as the present will probably finish the govment,
no matter who shall be President." I
'he Atlanta Confederacy, the leading Douglas
an of Georgia, returns this highly pyrophagie 1
response to the question as to what the Soath g
will do in the event of Lincoln's eleotion: ti
"We answer this interrogatory by simply sta- J
ting that the South will never permit Abraham ^
Lincoln to be inaugurated President of the United
States. This is a settled and sealed fact.? A
It is the determination of all parties at the South, b
and let the consequenoes be what they may? c
whether the Potomac is crimsoned in human p
gore, and Pennsylvania avenue is paved ten fa- e
thorns in depth with mangled bodies, or whether a
the last vestige of Liberty is swept from the A
face of the American Continent, the South, the
loyal South, the constitutional South, will never o
submit to suoh humiliation and degredation as ft
the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln." k

The Abolition Plot In Texas.
The Louisville Courier publishes a letter from
B. F. Barkley, of Birdville, Texas, toD. M. Bark- 1
ley, of Louisville, giviug interesting additional ?
details concerning the abolition-negro conspira- t
cy in Texas. The letter is evidently written ander
strong excitement, but the facts which it details
are calculated to justify such a state of c
feeling. We quote only a portion of the letter. *
It says :
"We have discovered in the possession of sev- t
eral noted Black Republicans, boxes of Sharpe's t
rifles. Colt's pistols, and, from letters found with t
them, wo learn that several boxes are en route t
to this place and other points, with which to j
arm the slaves. I just learn that the citizens' 4
committee have hung two men in Dallas county, t
and on day before yesterday a man by the name i
of Crawford, from Minnesota, was hung in Fort 1
Worth, in this county. They found in his house d
twenty-five Sharp's rifles, twelve Colt's pistols, f
fifteen muskets, and eight common rifles, and 48 t
Sharpe's rifles, which had been forwarded to
bim from a house iu Boston, and which had not
yet arrived. f
Tbeyalso found documentary evidence show- t
ing a wide-spread conspiracy, implicating promi- a
nent Republicans at the North; and while I write s
three more persons are undergoing an examina- t
tion before the citizens' committee in our neigh- t
boring city. A call appeared this morning for a c
public meeting in our town this evening. God s
only knows what is to be the result; but I do hope J
that every abolition emissary may be caught and c
made to suffer the just penalty of his crimes in ?
death. It is true that it may seem hard to hang t
a man without judge or jury; but when the lives t
of our familes are at stake?when those that t
are most dear to us are in danger of being not s
only murdered in cold blood, but perhaps to o
meet a worse fate, then it is time to take the law c
iato our own hands, and to protect our families. I
'I have just returned, since writing the above, c
from our town meeting, where we organized a 11
committee of safety, of which I was appointed e
chairman, and have summoned foar or five per- c
Bons before us to-night, and I think, from the c
high standing of the committee, that there will t
be no rash steps taken, but their course will be r
marked with moderation and justice. I have c
just learned that a white woman was shot by a a
slave, twelve miles south of this pdace. and after
wards was ravished. The negro, I presume, t
was burned at the stake on that night. I will J
write soon. e
D. F. BARKLY." I
In addition to the above extracts, the mail s
on Saturday evening brought us further items '
of news. The Galveston News of the 4th in- ^
tant., learns that several men have been buog by t
the neck to Black Jacks and Peach trees, on ac- 8
count of supposed undsoundness on the nigger ?
question, and suspicion of being concerned in j,
burning down houses, &c., of late at Dallas and b
elsewhere.
A letter of the 21st ult., from Dallas to the ?
fiuauu utuic urutcuc, ortjro c
The excitement consequent upon the revela- I
dons made by negroes under examination continues
unabated. Already nearly a hundred e
blacks have been arrested and examined sepa- 8
rately before a committee of vigilance, appointed g
for that purpose. c
There are other evidences of a wider spread a
plot in Texas, but the late hour at which we ti
received our exchanges prevents us from copy- p
ing furtVr details. A later letter says: J.
Tubs >ay. July 24.?This evening, at 4 o'clock s
the thrte ring leaders, Sam, Cato and Patrick, a
were escorted from the jail, under a strong f
^uard, to the place of execution. An immense q
joncourse of citizens and negroes assembled.
. t
We have later and more exciting news from
Texas. The Houston Southerner of the 28th S
instant, says: l'
Just as we are going to press news has arri- ?
ved here from a reliable source that twenty-two n
negroes have been arrested and are to bo hung g
in Waxahatchie to-day.
Our fellow citizen, Mr. H. L. Cotton, informs
us that a letter was received by Thursday's
mail, by his niece in this place, from Mrs. Ben- fj
net of Austin, giving an account of a fenrful attempt
made about the 22d instant, to reduce our ^
State (japitoi to a neap or asnes. xne aartng v
experiment was made to set fire to some twentyfive
of the principal edifices of the city; fortn- ,
nately, however, the flames were discovered and
extinguished, before any serious damage had ?
been sustained. On the night previous, the Austin
correspondent to whom we are indebled for
the intelligence we are reoordiug, had been '
keeping vigils overthe sick bed of a friend, when
Bhe observed a sheet of flame bursting from a f
neighboring house, which in consequence of ?
timely warning, the citizens were enabled to ar- 1
rest, and save the building from impending ruin. 3
The oitizens of Qrimes county held a public
meeting on the 26th July at Anderson, Hon. J

Letter from Hon. W. W. Boyce. V
Sabine Fabm, August 3, 1860. v
Gentlemen : My high respect for you induces f
ne to hasten a reply to your note. t
If Lincoln be elected, 1 think the Southern t
States should withdraw from the Union, all ; if \
lot all, then as many as will; and if no other, v
Irtnth flarnlino olnnn in tho nrnmntoaf mnnnAr e%
md by the most direct means.
To comprehend the full significance of Lin- f
loin's election, we must remember the principles, t
he character, and the sentiment of the Repub- I
ican party. - v
The vital principle of this party is negro equali- c
y, the only logical finale of which is emancipa- b
ion. To see this, it is only necessary to look at
heir platform, which, though intended for obrious
reasons of policy to appear conservative,
'et raises the veil in part. This platform says: f
'We hold that all men are created equal; that
hey are endowed by their Creator with certain i
inalienable rights; that among these are life, i,
iberty," &c., and this on motion of Mr. Gid- ?
lings. This is intended to include negroes. It 9
ollows, therefore, according to Republican faith, j
hat no one can be rightfully held in slavery. \
Slavery, then, is a great wrong. f
The Republican party are bound, therefore, so c
ar as their constitutional power goos, to remove ^
hat wrong. At present their practical point of 0
attack is the territories; when this question i
hall no longer exist, then the District ofColum- c
>ia will receive their attention, and so on with ?
he other outposts of slavery. Supposing these -\
iutpost? disposed of, then the movement necesarily
must be directed against slavery in the
Itates. The party will be bound to exercise its
institutional powers to destroy slavery in the
Itates. It would be considered entirely constiutional
by the Republicans to agitate the ques a
ion so as to influence the South by moral means I
o abolish slavery. And as soon as the admis
' ^ C tU /% _
ion ui new iree oiaiea, auu cue uuiugc ui auuui t
if some of the border States furnished the ne t
essary majority to change the Constitution, the
tepublican party would be sure to demand such 1
hange, and abolish slavery in the States. The
tepublican party has but one stopping place? 1
mancipation. Mr. Senator Wilson, of Massa
huketts, one of the ablest men in the Republi
an party, comprehended the mission of his pary,
when he said, in Boston, "I tell you here tolight,
that the agitation of human slavery will (
ontinue while the foot of a slave presses the j
oil of the American Republic."
By the character of this party, I mean its sec
ionalism. It is a party confined entirely to the
lorthern States?both its candidates are North
rn men. The idea of the majority section bandog
together for the purpose of seizing upon the
lovernment, is at war with the spirit of the Contitution.
The great idea of the Constitution is
he equality of the States. The seizure of the
lovernment by one section is a practical revolu
ion in the Government. The Northern States
hen become the master States, and the Southern i
Itates sink into an inferior condition. This is a
ot the Union into which our fathers entered. It
tas ushered in by the administration of Washngton,
a Southern slaveholder, who had hum- /
led England. q
The new order of things which the Republi- n
an party propose to introduce would be inaiigu- n
ated by the administration of Lincoln, a North- j
rn Abolitionist, who would humble the South. 0
tetween these two administrations what a pro- Q
ound gulf! The first represented the perfect 0
quality of the States; the second would repre- c
eat the domination of the North nnd the subju- T
ation of the South. A half dozen unsuccessful ,
ampaigns could,,not put the South in a more -
bjeot condition.
By the sentiment of this party, I mean its antagonism
to the South. It requires no elaborate :
roof to show that the feeling of this party is
hat of hostility to the South. The tone of the
tepublican press, the temper of public speeches,
uch as are delivered by Sumner and Lovejoy,
nd other leading men in the party, the sympathy (I
or John Brown, the very agitation of the slavery g
uestion, and numerous other facts which might j
e cited, show that the great passion on which
he Republican party rests is hatred to the South. 3
Such being the Republican party, for the n
louth to consent to its domination is to consent
o death. Not that I apprehend any startling
measures of aggression by this party immeditely.
No ; its policy is too obviously a wise
moderation, and its leaders are men of too muoh
agacity to be driven ahead of their programme,
iut the mere fact of such a party taking pos- t
ession of the Federal Government, with the ac- ^
uiescence of the South, wjll be the most fatal
low the South has ever received. The whole
lower and patronage of the Government will be .
ilaced upon the side of negro equality; the
forthern majority adverse to us will be stimula- j
ed to new life ; they will feel the exultation of
ieing the master States. The Southern States',
n the other hand, will be wounded in their presige
; their equality gone, hopeless of the future,
hey will be prepared for defeat because they
rill have despaired of victory.
Great as are the mortal effects, important
tractioal results would also speedily follow. The
atronage of the Administration would be used
o build up a Republican party in the border
lave States; and the Federal Judiciary would
le remodeled, so that the dogmas of fanaticism

lor could we obtain peace by an abject submision,
if so inclined; the agitation would go on
nth increased volume when it was found not to
10 hazardous, and we would ultimately be forced
o yield all, or to resist under circumstances ininitely
more discouraging thau exist at present.
?o acquisce in the vast powers of the Federal
lovernment going into the hands of our wouldie
ma9tcr9, with the intention of resisting at
omefuture time, would be to emulate the infatlation
of the Numidian King, who delivered his
reasures, his arras, his elephants, and his desrters
to the Romans, and then renewed the war,
laving needlessly deprived himself of the means
f defence.
If the South acquiesces in a Republican adminstration,
I think the question of negro equality
3 settled against us, and emancipation only a
[uestion of time. I have regarded this question
n the same light for years, and I have considerd
the success of the Rupublican party in the
'residential election as involving the necessity of
evolution. So regarding it, I have thought the
reat paramount object of our policy was to let v
his Republican success occur, if it must occur, ^
nder the most auspicious circumstances, for a c
isruption, and those auspicious circumstances I C
houirht would consist principally in the largest d
ttainable sympathy North, and the greatest uni- d
/South. These conditions I thought were most t
kely to be reached by a wise and prudent mode- ?
ation on the part of the South. And I accord- ti
ugly advised and acted in that direction, and I
m satisfied I never gave wiser counsels. I said E
o my constituents last summer, that we must
ct with the most consummate prudence then, in v
rder to profit by the most desperate boldness if
t became necessary,?prudence to give no pretext
3r the election of a Republican?boldness to re- p
leve ourselves from such election if it must take c
lace. My policy was a consistent policy; pru- a
lence, when prudence might be advantageous; o
loldness, when nothing else was left. The time v
3 now approaching when, in my opinion the on- T
/ alternative will be boldness. If the Republi- h
an party triumph in the Presidential election, tl
ur State has no choice but to immediately with- s
raw from the Union. Nor is this so hazardous ii
n undertaking as might be conceived at first o
ight. tl
Suppose we hare done this. Then only two d
aurses remain to our enemies. Fret, they must v
it ns alone; secondly, they must attempt to t
aerce us. Either alternative will accomplish t
ur purpose. f
Suppose they let us alone?very good. We t
ill have free trade wth Europe and get along a
ery well in our happy mediocrity, far better t
ma as a degraded satellite of a gogeous system 0
rhose glories would be for others?whose shame
>r us alone. We would not have to pay any t
ixes, direct or indirect, to Northern Abolitionits
-that would be some consolation.
Suppose they undertake to coerce us ; then the c
outhern States are compelled to make common
ause with us, and we wake up some morning
nd find the flag of a Southern Confederacy float
ig over us. That would be a great deal better
lan paying tribute to John Brown sympatixersi
The South still has splendid cards in her hand *
' she will only play them. The Constitution of

f Lincoln is elected, let us put them at defiance,
nd if they incline to try the last argument of 1
[ings against us, very well. When, in sixty j
ays, they have lost five hundred million dollars, (

tVISTAH'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, - Group,
Whooping Cough, Quittty, and the numerous as
pell as dangerous diseases of the Throat, Chtst
ind Lungs, prevail in our changeable climate, at
ill seasons of the. year: few- are fortunate eloagh
fo escape their baneful influence. How
important then to have at hand a certain antidote
to all these complaints. Experience proves
that this exists in Wistar's Balsam to an extent
not found in any other remedy; however severe
the suffering, the application of this soothing,
healing and wonderful Balsam at once vanquishes
the disease and restores the sufferer to wonted
lealth. ''
