A native of the department of th Lower Rhine, named Michael Zeiter, emi grated while yet a boy to the United States where he became a naturalized citizen a the proper time and in due form of law. I Frauce his name had been enrolled for con scription on the register, and when h reached the age of military service the lc fell on him to serve. Being absent, th police were directed to seize him wheneve they might tind him. An opportunity a length presented itself. Zeiter, little dreau ing what was in store for him, returned t see the spot where he first drew breath.It was at Weissenberg. He was arrested a a deserterfrom the army. Mr. Faulkner, th American Minister at Paris, demanded hi release as a right, on the ground that ther was no service due from him at the time ( his emigration, and that, having renounce his allegiauce to France and sworn alleg ance to the United States, France has no' no claim upon him, and his individual a legiaoce is due to the land of his adoptior The French tribunal has pronounced i favor of the claim of the American Minis ter, and Zeiter has been discharged. Th; case is highly important, as the release c the prisoner was claimed as a right, and i will therefore serve as a precedent, not onl in France, but on the continent of Europ generally.

A ready, then, the great topic of discussion ws as tho next Presidential election; and, involved i this, the slavery question. The American pet pie have been flouted in the London'Statistics n_ CoDgress; an English association have bought ig *city of refuge' in the shape of 18 miles squar ae of land, in Canada, to assist in the escape < our fugitive slaves ; and the abolitionists hav y set on foot a wicked scheme to murder the slavt se holders of Northern Texas, and destroy thei property by fire. The Republican party ar marshaling their hosts to victory. The wises D> and most experienced statesmen of the Soutb ^ despair of the election of Breckinridge an as Lane. They give up the republic to Lincoln an ry Hamlin. The farthest-sighted paper of th fe North, perhaps?the New York Iletald?snj that in that event the South must prepare fo IS Disunion and a Southern Confederacy at onct 1- or forever hereafter submit to the domination o )e a party whose policy is the destruction of slave 5- ry everywhere, from Maryland to Texas. Whs in is the South to do in this event?which is almos n, certain?is now the all-absorbing question. This is indeed a grave question. It addresse a- itself primarly to the Southern people tliroug i- their State Legislatures. In other words it ap it peals to the States, as Sovereign States. Th 3. politicians of our State, questioned by their fel b low citizens some, others of their own accord i j have publicly declared their position. Messrs b Boyce and Keitt, and our gallant Governor Gis _ have unequivocally broke ground for "the seces g tion of the Southern States?all together, if pos e fible ; if not, as many as trill; if none other, Souti ,e Carolina should go out alone." A large part o b the State Press is of this sentiment. Col. Orr ii willing to go out with Georgia, Alabama anc Mississippi; but repudiates separate State ac j tion. Senator Hammond believes that Breckiu ^ ridge and Lane will oe elected ; ("the next nes j thing," says he "for which everything but prin ? ciple should be sacrifice 1and this belief pre ^ eludes his utterance of any opinion on the abov< ' subject. Maj. Ben. Perry thinks that the Soutt should not make the election of Lincon an issue 0 for the dissolution of the Union ; hut should wail for some "overt act" hostile to slavery and the constitution. Whatever the result may he, thai j i result must be attained through the Legislature of each Slate, acting in its sovereign capacity. Hence one'great point which should be attended , to is the election of our wisest, purest and mosi reliable men to the Legislature. W? firmly bea lieve that the conflict, if there be any, will be not for .siavert/ hut for State sovereignty. The fact of going into a Southern Confederacy would, ' in any other_view of the case, be treason to the s Federal Government. The inauguration of the B Republican party as the rulers of this couutry ^ will be a new era in our history?will produce a s| radical change in the very uature of our govern ' ment. A friend of ours who has lately returned from M Texas, states that he was in the neighborhood of 11 Dallas when it was burnt, and that the citizens 3 did not think it the work of incendiaries. On I the day of the burning, a heated current of air > passed over Dallas, raising the temperature to i 114?; and this, it was thought, caused the ignif tion of matches in the stores and elsewhere, 1' which produced the conflagration. . It was Sab | b?th : the doors were shut; and no one observed 5 the flames until it waf> too late to save the town. ;jOn the next day, matches were seen to ignite in | the same way. Our friend says, however, that . | the citizens of Northern Texas thought there were some grounds to apprehend a concerted and I! general servile insurrection?produced by nboli j ! tion agitators for the purposes of revenge, niurII der and rapine. The continued accounts which ' we have received, and are receiving, of villages . j burnt, suspicious white persons arrested, and g j negroes taken up who acknowledge their connection with such a plot, confirm this apprehension. I A negro woman of Henderson?one of the towns I destroyed?has confessed to have been the first one wtio applied a match to that town ; and thus | to have set on foot the destruction of two or s ! three hundred thousand dollars worth of prop| erty. She was instigated to the deed, it seems, 11 by white persons. Since then, repoit says that Tyler in Tyler county, and McKinuey in Collin I o.inii11* bfivp met with the same fate. Manv ' negroes have been arrested ; and many of them ^ implicate themselves and white persons in this nefarious plot. The fire, added to the exhause tion of the drought, has left many localities in a truly deplorable conditiou. Indeed calls have * been made fur an extra meeting of the Legisla ture, both to supply the people with provisions !? aud to crush the insurrection. e VINE-GROWING AND WINE. j. A Vine growers' Convention was held at Aiken, , | on the 21st August, which the Vine growers and j wine makers of the United States were invited to attend, for the purpose of ascertaining and na! ming our different native varieties of grapes, ! estimating their auapteduess for wine, brandy, j the table and raisins; their liability to rot, shed j off and mildew ; the influence of climate and | soil over the saccharine nnd alcoholic properties ^ I of the grapes; and other purposes. This is nol ( j the first Convention of the kind that has bee: ! held in our country. It is thought that thes< conventions, by promoting the growth of grape: and the use of wines in our country, will no' only conduce to build up an honorable sourct , j of wealth, but also to diminish crime and pro rnote morality among our people. How thit j. paradox can be established is, we confess, be ^ yond our comprehension. We know the ok . thread-bare argument, which has been worn oui * in defence of this notion. It is said, with an ail , of triumph, that vine growing and wiueproduc j ing peoples are never intemperate; and arguec j from this that if wine were made the substitutt n I of brandy, whiskey and other strong drinks, i !* would be a great blessing to our country, "j We have not perceived the truth of either o these statements. We admit that where wine ii a staple product, delirium tremens and beastly y periodical or occasional drunkenness, have nol e prevailed so extensively as in the United States Yet this admission is made on the known faci that wine is made in these countries rather to ^ export than to drink. Wherever and whenever wine is excessively taken, it produces intoxica ? tion. Indeed we have heard drinkers say that the intoxication produced by wine, is worse than V. that caused by whiskey or brandy. It iB not so violent but more lasting. Now this indicates, we think, its specific effect upon national character. It does not make the people fall and stagger so much as it leaves them, when taken habitually, in a permanent state of excitement.? _ This excitement occasionally finds its culmina~ tion in excess?in drunkenness, debauchery, an^ arcby, crime and Bachanalian revelry. The ^ friends of the wine-cup cite us to France ; but has not France been a series of revolutions during the nineteenth century ? Bacchus has of' ten stained his feet in the grape-presses of France, Italy and Greece; and Mars has as of^ t ten washed his arms and legs in the blood of their citizens. '' Let us be understood. We much prefer to see native than foreign wines on our tables. They 10 are purer ; they are better; though not less intoxicating, perhaps, they are less injurious.? They are not a mixture of poisons. We would 3- be heartily glad, too, to see native wines of '8 a mild and pure brand supercede, as a national drink, the use of old Jamaica, Bourbon, Monongahela and corn whiskey. But we are no apol)g ogist for wine-drinking; and we would be glad to see this change, only because we feel that it would be beneficial to temperance. kg And would, we ask, the general use of wine n eradicate the use of these stronger drinks ? We )m think not. Its pleasanter taste and milder and kl more genial effect would only make it a stronger temptation. It would become the arch-seducer ,e of the young. Half the drunkards say they do jf not love the taste of brandy or whiskey; and ,e that they only take it to appease the gnawings j. of a ruthless habit, or like medicine, for the eflr feet. All would love wine and hence it would ,e tempt all. The habit of drinking once begun in this way, would grow stronger and stronger. ( First a larger and larger quantity of wine would ^ be drunken; then wine would be abandoned for j the more "fiery compounds" of the day. The e greater the variety of liquors made, the better g every taste is suited, and the more universal are the inducements to intemperance. Besides, the , introduction of wine-drinking would become f popular, and remove many if not all the obstacl es which enlightened public opinion and Christian I t virtue now place between the flowing bowl and ,t the youth of our country. Let us see to it, while we manufacture wine for medicinal purposes' and the like, that we constantly teach its abuse ^ as a beverage, to be the road to ruin and shame. 1 JUDGE I.ONGSTREET. * We take the following eloquent paragraphs from Judge Longstreet's explanation and vindication of his secession from the Statis' tical Congress held in London. It will be re* membered, Lord Brougham cast a taunt info the teeth of the Americans there, by announcing the presence of a free negro, one Dr. Delany, of * Chatham, Canada West. For this, Mr. Long f street retired from the Congress. It is found to 8 he verv nrobable that this same Delanv was a 1 member of the Convention, held in Canada, in 1858, which organized the Provisional Government, and set on foot the raid of John Brown, t This, if so, makes the jibe the more galling; for Lord Brougham must have known the pedigree of Delany. We admire the Judge's course ; and see how his noble heart swells with the highest impulses in every line of these paragraphs ! "Now, I take leave to say that a Briton was the last man on earth who should cast contempt unus reflections upon the United States, and the delegates the last meu on earth who should have countenanced them. Not one of them, not a man on all the broad surface of Europa, can assail that country without assailing some near home-born friend of his own language and blood, or some kinsman by short lineage from a common ancestry. She spreads herself out from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes, and through all her length and breadth, she isono vast asylum for the poor, the oppress ' ed, the down trodden, the persecuted of the , world.

Say what you may, think as you may of , her "peculiar institution," she is, after all, the good Samaritan of nations. Do a people cry and waste from famine! She loads her ships with supplies, and lays them at the sufferer's doors without money and without price. Do an oppressed people strike for liberty? You will find some of her sons under their flag. Does a 1 wife's cry come across the water for help, to find a noble, long-missing husband? She fits out bcr ships; her volunteers man them, they search nearly to the Pde, learn the husband's fate, dis burden the wife's heart from suspense, and then lie down ,and dip from the exposure and toils of the search. Does she find a nation's sloop of war nfloat, still sound but unmaned ? . She puts her in decent trim and sends her to her owner, in charge of her own men, and at her own expense. "Bear with me." If "I am be come a fool in glorying, ye have compelled me, for I oucht to have been commended to vou." "Farewell to thee, London, for a short time. ( One more brief look at thy wonders and then farewell for ever. Another visit to Liverpool ; I like her better than London, because she likes my people better. 'Interest!' 'cotton ?' It may be so, but I am grateful for love of any kind in , England. Never in rny long, long life did my heart strings knit around a fair one so quickly and so closely as they did around a lady in London, 1 who approached me, and said 'Mr. Longstreet, I must get acquainted with you, I love your country. I have several kinsmen there.' That's natural, that's womanlike. It is for man to 1 draw favors from a country and curse her.? God bless her. And God bless the family in which she said it. As Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, slaveholders, are in Heaven, I hope to get there too. May I meet them all there ! But, whither dm I wandering! Liverpool, another benifice to the English Cunard line, and then farewell to Europe forever and forever !" MERE-MEXTIOX. The Beaufort and Colleton Sun announces the death of Hon. Lewis O'Bryan, at Walterboro', on Sunday evening, 19th instant. Mr. W. McWillie, writing to the Cotton I'lanttr, says that he .smokes his bacon with green hickory and keeps the bacon house perfectly dark: the former preserves the flavor of his bacon, and the latter never fails to keep skippers and every thing of the kind out of it. A minister in England recently committed suicide, because his congregation, had, in a measure, ceased to attend church. The New York Journal of !

The whole vote cast at the recent Gubernatorial . election in North Carolina, was 112,852, being 5 an increase of 10,675 on the vote of 1858.

[ The following is vouched for as being an p excellent remedy for a "Sty on the Eyelid Put a teaspoonful of black tea in a small bag; 1 pour on to it just enough boiling water to rnois* ? ten it; then put it on the eye pretty warm.? t Keep it on all night, and in the morning the sty will most likely be gone; if not, a second applif cation is certain to remove it. 3 A correspondent of the New York Tribune, who professes to have the best opportunities of t knowing what Mr. William B. Astor, of that , city, is actually worth, states that his property t cannot fall a dollar short of $40,000,000, and that its annual increase is about $3,000,000. Judge Griffin, of Washington county Mississippi, is said to be the largest ootton planter in the South. His crop ie about 8000 bales. Under the title 1 'increase of the Black Republican Party," the Richmond Enquirer calls attention to the statement that seventy-two white females were married to negroes last year, in the State of Massachusetts. It is said that when Mr. Doug as was at Rutland Vt., and just as he was entering the hotel, a large Irishwoman rushed up and grabbed him in her arms and kissed him. L. O'Brien Branch, Congressman from North Carolina, who advocated Douglas' nomination at Charleston, haB since come out for Breckinridge. The World newspaper is published at a loss of $600 a day, says a New York correspondent of the Boston Post. It appears, after all, that Seward is unwilling to retire from his comfortable seat in the Senate. ' INSURRECTION IN ALABAMA. 1 Much excitement,, we learn, exists in Tallade- 1 ga, Ala., on account of the discovery of a plot of several abolitionists to create a servile insurrection. Four white men and eight negroes have been discovered armed, in me neignoornooa 01 the town; and everything goes to corroborate , the statements of the negroes of the community , relative to the wicked plot. Such reports as this are brought to our ears, by almost every day's mail. We do not wish to sound any unnecessary alarm ; bnt we are forced to the belief that these vile agitators and anarchists are fanatically and fratricidally bent upon their foul purposes, in slcer contempt of all the laws of i earth and heaven. Let every man of the South look well to his own household, and "keep his powder dry." CONTRIBUTORIAL. The Ladies' Southern Florist. Mrs. Rion's work on flower-culture is, after some mechanical delays, out and fairly in the market. We have already told you, readers, how highly we estimate this book. It is worth ten times the price?seventy-five cents, not a dollar as was stated before?to many a floricult. At length we find in this author the wonder of an educated and refined woman, who can write sensibly of flowers and floriculture, in a South- , ern clime too, without the rigmarole, moonshine, ! and wish-wash of the poets. | Common Truths Not commonly admitted.

Last year th* gossip world was regaled with ' the facts of this woman's unfortunate course. < Just now, again, the scandal is revived by a i Letter of vindication which Mrs. Gurney has j written to a friend. The letter has been pub- j lished by her friends, and has gone the rounds \ of newspaperdora both in England and in the j North. I Mrs. Gurney is the wife of a member of the j English Parliament. They are second cousins. I <] Their union was bmariage rle convenance. They' had a family of one or two children. They got on together only so-so. ] Mrs. Gurney thought it her duty to endure? j thought it better to I "?Bear those Ills we have, Than fly to other* that we know not of j" and she bore them for some years. At length the beau real of her unfound ideal presented itself to her in the person of William ^ Tayler. After months of struggling with the k ' fate," she told the fact to her husband. He treated her as a lunatic, and would send her on S a health-tour. Mrs. Gurney would not be treated as a lunatic, and declined to be sent on a health-tour. She came to the conclusion that to remain the wife of John Henry Gurney was an offence before high heaven. She, farther, came to the conclusion that to seek her "affinity" was obedience to some of the "higher laws"?perhaps Seward's. Mrs. Gurney, accordingly, eloped with Wil-1 liam Tayler; went to Paris; and may be there yet. J William Tayler was a groom?not a bride?-? i ?. .. i c groom, out a nurao groouj. Tout le month was scandalized, of course. The 0 newspapers had a high time over it. Mrs. Grundy enjoyed it vastly; perhaps Mrs. Gurney did also. , In January Mrs. Gurney wrote the Letter of vindication to which we referred above. It is c dated, Paris. In that letter she goes over the j whole grounds, and attempts an elaborate viniication of her course. s Her cause is bad enough ; and she accomplishes but little by her Letter. It may teach us leniency in our condemnation of the erring; but ^ the erring are not justified by it. We pity. Mrs. Gurney has flown into the face of society ^ and its conventions "with an high hand." She n has done a high wrong; but that wrong seems to have come legitimately from the antecedent and c greater wrong of her marriage. 8 Our Northern newspapers, and chief among t them is the Tribune of New York?have pro- . nounced the Letter very bad. Still, they repriut c it; comment upon it; preach over it; get up a g vast flood of "virtuous indignation and play j. the Phraisee largely. Each one of them is willing to cast the first stone?all eager indeed to t get a timely fling at her. It is a glorious op- y portunity for the immaculates to bluster, in or- ^ der to show how outrageously virtuous they are. We have mentioned the matter at all, mainly f because of this surplus indignation that our northern press have gotten up upon the occasion, j The circumstance has a moral use, we opine, in , directing attention to certain evils existing in a ^ social system that demands such marriages; but not such remedies. The Eclipse Expedition. Now that the government commission to Lab- t rador has returned and reported, we may give a 1 nrvnin fitorutinnn 8 iUY* ILClllO ?5<mu %uw Prof. Alexander of Princeton, N. J., wag chief of the expedition. He was assisted by Professor Barnard of the University of Mississippi; and a number of other scientific gentlemen, among whom are Prof. Venable (a Boston paper has it Ilani/iul.') and Mr. Lieber from South Carolina. Profs Alexander and Barnard on their return made report speeches before the Scientific Association then in session at Newport, R. I. Among the phenomena observed, worthy a special mention as being mainly new, is the bluish light along the edge of the moon during the eclipse This bluish light has been observed before, but never caught by the photograph ; so that hitherto it was not certainly light of that color, but might be only in the observer's eye? an optical allusion. This is now a point for scientific investigation. Some important discovery may hang upon it. The eclipse at the locality where they were? Cape Chidleigh, on the coast of Labrador?was total. The totalness lasted about three minutes. The shadow came on, from the gradually-dimin- ? isbing light of the progressing eclipse, with a startling suddenness. When the shadow was on ^ them, the party saw a beautifnl array of colors ^ ?leaden, copper, ruddy, golden. We quote the C Evening Traveller: "Below, the bold cliffs were w of a dark bluish green. The whole spectacle was grand and beautiful. A newspaper, to be read, must be brought within four inches of the eye, the light being much less than the twilight at midnight." ^ The coast of Labrador, Prof. Barnard said, was desolate in the extreme. No human beings, very ^ little vegetation, one solitary black bear, a few ^ ducks, some bones, a world of mosquitoes, and one mateless singing bird that made the desola- ^ tion lonelier by its sweet tones amid that silence g and gloom. The Professor says: "The whole ^ scene presented a grand and almost sublime _ Gfolgotha." They saw icebergs, and auroras, and three Irtnria rtf mlfflfffl Glimpse* of an Untold Past. . scene i. Ida.

His com ai aents are none too flattering, we think. The o! iook is full of good sense ; and is about all one ould ask or wish from the fair author, as "a q mall hand-book of flowers." Every lady in tl he country, who cannot employ a professed P' jardener, and who wishes to cultivate the best dimatized, the moBt beantiful and the most fra;rant flowers of the south, will find this little jl iook of very great assistance. We are indebted to Mr. P. B. Glass, of Col- a imbia,?the publisher?for an early copy. He tt ins our thanks. Our absence from town has ^ irevented its sooner notice. g Send 75 cts, ladies, to Mr. Glass for the book ; hi md, we think, you will never regret it. P1 N. B.

It would be to your w nterest to let them know the cause of this irregularity ; it may be the fault of the mail. el Similar complaints were made to us recent'y, j?| vhile on our visit home, by the subscribers at e( Hilton, in Laurens District. rc We blame Uncle Sam for this remissness.? lD [he papers for these offices are bundled up and lent off on Thursday morning with those that go to o Columbia and elsewhere. Not a single com- ct >laint has reached us from Columbia this entire m pear.

The Houston Telegraph say9: "A plot was discovered in Hopkins county on he 4th instant, to burn the town of Sulphur Iprings, in that county, on election day, or the ay after. Some negroee confessed the plot, and t latest dates it was undergoing investigation, mid no little excitement." The Telegraph has a brief letter from "a disinguished citizen of Washington," suggesting hat a convention be called, of delegates from all he counties, whose conference might best elicit he facts of the abolition plot, and recommend he remedy. The abolitionist, Lemmons, whose second ex mlsion from Quitman we published last week, ras saved from death only by the prayers, tears, nd supplications of his wife. The Tyler (Smith county) Reporter, of the 7th, as the following: "Col. Long, of San Antonio, who reached this lace last night, informs us that large quantities * 1?/1:.Aawa?AI) 1 Birjf CUIUUC UK.VC UCCU UIOUUTCICU 1U lUD pvo ession of negroes and white men at Tennessee lolony, in Anderson county, and that two white evils (abolitionists) were publicly hung at the itter place yeBterday. The proof of their comilicity was incontrovertible, and the wretches rere immediately strung up on the nearest tree. "The mail-rider from Gilmer informs us that e has authentio information that Dangerfield, a Titus county, was totally destroyed by fire on iunday night. "We have direct news from Athens, in fienerson county, that one well was poisoned in hat place on Sunday night, and, upon investiation, over one hundred bottles of strychnine rere found in possession of the negroes. After severe punishment, the latter related the pariculars of the plot?which was to poison all the ublic and private wells in the town on Sunday ight?to poison as far as possible, the family reakfast; and the knife and pistol (with which hey were well supplied) was to complete the endish work. All the young children and old romeu were to be murdered, and young women 'ere to be taken as wives by the hell-hounds. 0 far as we have heard, the negroes being exmined separately, tell exactly the same story, ae truth of which we cannot for a moment oubt. "The only reason why Tyler had been sparod, hus far, is the continued and unremitting vigitnoe of our citizens. Over one huniked men re on patrol duty every night. Every man who 1 met by one of them is hailed, and if be fails r refuses to answer, his life would not be worth straw. "For four nights, every man connected with le Reporter has been on duty, and we are all ompletely worn out; and if this excitement still nntinnes to exist, we must ston our reeular is lies and furnish the news in the form of extras, >r it is impossible for us to watch all night and rork all day. "Mr. E. T. Broughton has this moment informd us that a stable at Athens, belonging to Mr. ohn T. Carlisle, was<fired on Monday evening, y an incendiary, and burned to the ground. "A negro belonging to Mr. Barron, at Science [iir, Henderson County, was hung last Friday >r having a quantity of strychnine in his posission. He confessed to having had a hand in le insurrection." * ' The Marshall Republican, of the 11th, pubsbes a letter of the 4th, from Mr. H. Bonner, [ Rusk, Cherokee County, to Mr. 0. Taylor, t Marshall. It says : "The coincidence of the fires at Dallas and [her places, caused suspicion with us, and a umber of our citizens, a short time since, orinized a watch and vigilance committee.? [any, including myself, were disposed to con der the whole affair as a needless alarm, until ithin a day or two, when authenticated stateents came to us, that in several places poison id been found with negroes, and confessions ade, that on election day this poison was to be Iministered in the food at breakfast, and de osited in the wells and springs; and that a meral plot had been made for an indiscriminate, holesale destruction by poison and arms on iat day.

We are in the idst of considerable excitement, and I feel it y duty to write to you, so that your town and >untry may be on your guard. "I am opposed, in principle and policy, to equent alarms of this kind, and should not rite if I did not believe there is serious cause ' alarm. Some of the most confidential negroes e implicated." The same paper has letters giving the parculars of the burning of the town of Header* in. Sunday night, the 5th inst., a stiff south ind was blowing, and in a few minutes, the itire south side of the square was in flames.? he patrol had not yet gone on duty ; the rest ' the people were at church. Ten stores, two ug stores, two family groceries, ten offices id other buildings were consumed, xne &ra 5ce was destroyed ; the Times office was saved, at its material was all in "pi." A letter from Rusk county to the Austin State 'azetle says that two white men were hung in le county, on conclusive evidence of their comicity with the incendiary and insurrectionary ovement. The Polk county paper, of the 11th, says : "As we go to press, we learn from a letter ist received from an intelligent citizen of Mos>w, that the excitement is running high there, i regard to insurrection, &c.; that one Sanches, Mexican, has been whipped and driven off, and le report concerning the negro movement in yler, has been confirmed." Rumors gain ground that the towns of Tyler, mith county, and McKinney, Collin county, ive been destroyed by fire. We nave nothing ositive about it. The San Antonio Ledyer says : "We learn from a gentleman just from Bastrop ad Caldwell counties, that the negroes were died in a contemplated insurrection on Monday, th instant. "The negroes in Bastrop were suspected, from leir conduct on Sunday, which led to the forlationofa committee. Upon the examination ' the negro cabins on Walnut Creek, large uantities of arms and ammunition were discov ed; in one cabin a keg of powder and new z shooters, and in other cabins various deadly eapons were found secreted." The Jasper Clarion of the 11th says that on ection day in Tyler county, few went to the oils, because of the intense excitement arising om the arrest often negroes, who had confess1 to being parties to a plot to murder, burn and ib. Two white men were implicated, who left amediately. Ths citizens of Mantua and vicinity, Collin mnty, on the 23d ult., appointed a committee i examine into the insurrection rumors. The immittee reported on the 25th ult., that they iund no indications of insurrection among the jgroes. An incendiary attempt was discovered in the iwn of Jefferson, Cass county, on the 8th inst. ince that, the town ha9 been protected by paths of the best citizens. The same vigilance is tercised, says the Jefferson lltrald, in the iighboring towns and settlements. Some forty negroes and two or three whites ive been discovered, when togetner, at or near aris, Lamar county, says a letter from Bright tar, Hopkins county, to the Jefferson Herald of le 11th inst.; some of the negroes were arrest1 and "confessed that it was their intention, on to day of election, while the men were at the ills voting, to kill the females of every house ; id as the men returned from the polls, they ere to be attacked."

He was the eldest son of Rev. John B., end inly brother of Rev. Wm. B. Davies, both of whom preceeded him to the tomb. He was brought up in the congregation of Fishing Creek, Chester District, of which his venerable father was the pastor .for abont forty four yean. He was graduated at the University of North Carolina, and his Theological studies were prosecuted at Princeton, New Jersey. 8oon after his sntrance on the work of the ministry, he was ordained and installed pastor of Catholic Church, on Rocky Creek, Chester District, 8: C., where be labored successfully about eleven years.-? During the greater part of this time he also preaobcd at the "Brick Church" whichhad been ieserted by the Covmanten. Here also a large jongregation was soon gathered. In 1839, be accepted calls from the united churches of Pros pect and Center, near Davidson College, North Sarolioa. In I860 he returned to Sooth, Carolina, and fo- some time supplied the ch'nrch of dope well, in York District, Waxhaw, in Lancas:er, and Cedar Shoal, in Chester District. In the summer of 1859 he visited Arkansas with a view of settling in some inviting field of hat new and interesting State. During this visit he travelled muoh, and preached irt desti:ute places. In these laborious journeys, and protracted meetings, exposed to the severity of .he Summer heat, bis vigorous constitution gave way. Chills and fever followed. Returning to South Carolina, he gradually declined, until At ast his spirit departed in peace. Mr. Davies was an able and orthodox divine. A.s a preacher, be was animated and graceful in lis style of delivery. With a striking .personal lppearance, and a clear sonoroos. and well nodulated voice, he seldom failed to arrest the mention of an audicnoe, whenever he rose to speak. His discourses were often exegdieal ather than logical, bringing ont cleariy and enforcing with power, the stroog points of Calvin-, istic doctrines contained in the Word-of God.? The first ten or fifteen years of his ministry seem >o have been the most successful. Daring the tleven years tit his pastoral obargo of Catholic :hurch, over two hundred and fifty persons were received into the communion of the obarch.? Mr. Davies was often a member of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, aud took iu active and hearty share in accomplishing that livision which resulted in the peace and pros>erity of the Old School Presbyterian Church.
