The small number of words which are used in comparison with those which every person who speaks the English language has a right to use, has been illustrated by Mr. Marsh, in his Lectures on the English Language, in some curious instances. The vocabulary of the language now contaius nearly a hundred thousand words. Of these, Milton uses only eight thousand, and Shakspeare only fifteen thousand. And yet the vocabulary of these authors, says Mr. Marsh, is probably the largest used by any writers in the Euglish language. Cj)e gorkMIIc inquirer edited by SAM'I. W. MELTON WM, W.

We think that no man of good sense can resist the conviction that there has been- extensive tampering with the slaves of the South by the Abolitionists of the North. The recent plot at Adairsville, resulting in the sudden death of the Northern instigator, shows what we have to fight. The case of arms, recently exhumed in Clarke county, is proof that the Brownites are among us. That there are several of them lying perdu in this city, we have no doubt. It-would be unreasonable to suppose that they penetrated into places away from the great thoroughfares, and omitted to take advantage of the security offered here by our large slave population and slim munioipal police. In the older times we had no trouble with roving Abolitionists. Why ? Because then they were hanged as soon as caught. We recommend, as we have steadily done, a revival of the old policy. Let this whole region at once set patrols to work?make thorough search?and where suspicious characters are found let them be strictly dealt with. And no place needs a min ute overhauling more tl,an Montgomery. Spite of our laws, the town is overrun with irresponsible negro dens. Let the citizens break up these ?t once. We could make a revelation which would astound a good many of our citizens, and chiefly the large slave-holders whose premises 1 U la ?Af r?at finip are useu?uui n i= uw jv. ..? The whole South needs a thorough expurgation. For years we have allowed all sorts of interference, all manner of appliances, every description of seduction toitineraut Northern emissaries. Now the time has come fur wiping these creatures out. Let a strict search everywhere reveal them?it will bring them to light?and let the rope do the rest. We speak in cold earnest, and we speak the words which reflating, obser vant men think and advise us to utter. The foregoing words of caution, from the j Montgomery (Aln.) Mail, should be commended to the attention of our people. Happily, we have yet seen no indications of the presence of Northern emissaries amongst us; but Texas, Alabama and Arkausas were equally unconscious of danger when, in fact, it pervaded their very firesides. It becomes us to be everywhere on guard ; for in this matter, an "ounce of prevention" may do much for the common safety. We commend the action of the Fort Mills neighborhood, an account of which was published in the last issue. Especially on the lines of Railroads, Committees ot \ ignance aro aeman(led, nnd they should be about their work with a will?not spasmodically, but constantly and persistently, as long as there are vagrants to be taken up or abolitionists to be hung. Indeed, vigilance is everywhere needed. Of course, these emissaries come amongst us in the most insidious manner possible: and therefore every man who is a stranger and canuot produce his vouchers, should be watched. The roving mendicant, the tobacco-wagoner, the whiskey-pcdler, the sample-trader, may be very honest and reliable ; but in such-like disguises abolitionists have prowled about elsewhere, and may do so here. Besides concealing their designs very effectually, such disguises enables them to do their hellish work the more effectually. Watch them all! In this connection, we feel bound to say a word in regard to the palpable inefficiency of our patrol system ; for, certainly, If the negroes are kept in their proper places, no evil need be ap prehended. We have been told by an intelligent I citizen, that he had for two years past carried a j patrol commission in his pocket, had not done I an hour's duty, and yet had not been called upon I for a return, which should have been made promptly, fully and upon oath ! Is this the con j dition of affairs throughout the District ? Can it he nossible that the commanding officers, the! Colonels, Majors, Captains, and the Courts Mar-1 tial, are so utterly recreant to public duty and j reckless of the public safety ? Surely, we need j not urge the proposition that each beat should be constantly and thoroughly patrolled ; and we need not add that, if we are to get along without the services of a mob, the duty of the patrol must devolve upon our militia organization.? Why, then, is this important trust not discharged ? We answer for the people?the men in file?that they are not in fault. And if they were, the law provides a punishment equal to their recreancy. If the militia system is worth anything, it is valuable in the feature which devolves upon it the maintenance and right conduct of our Dis trict police ; and if officers do not see that this redeeming feature of the system is properly administered, let them cease to talk of the system at all, when on the parade-ground, and let the whole concern go by the board ! It is idle to assert that every man should patrol his own plantation. We have beard the remark too often; for we may rest assured that it will not be done. If it were possible for the master or overseer to do without sleep entirely, which an adequate discharge of such a duty would require, such is the general confidence in the integrity of our slave population, that the large majority of owners would refuse voluntarily to place them under strict surveillance. The experience of other sections demonstrates that this confidence may easily be misplaced ; and if masters are left to do their own patrolling, our people may be aroused to a sense of their error when it is too late. With the militia authorities, the patrol is a duty, an urgent duty; and under the authority and sanctions of the law, let it be i nerformed ! THE PRINCE OP WALES IN AMERICA. Notwithstanding the Eoglish queen has ex pressed her gratification at the reception with which her eldest son lias been greeted ; and although his presence on this side the Atlantic has nigh enough turned the heads of the people, both of the United States and the British Possessions, yet there is a class?the Irishmen scattered over j the continent, in the territory of both govern! ments?who have not been at all enthusiastic on j the subject. Ho is to them a kind of index-finger pointing to the wrongs and outrages which the English government has committed against the "Emerald Isle." Consequently, they refuse to welcome the young Prince to America, lest it should be construed into asanctiou of the wrongs done to their forefathers. The portion of these Irishmen more violent in their demonstrations than the rest, are the Orangemen. These Orangemen are a society for upholding Protestantism. In a few years they swelled to the proportions and prestige of a great party ; so that in 183G, it had to be crushed by the reigning king. Yet, while the organization crumbled to dust, the spirit which created it remained alive and active ; audhas gradually crys tallized into a party again. The organization is perhaps stronger in the Canadas and other British Possessions in America?being farther from D the center of English power?than they are in C, the old country. ^ Now, as the Prince of Wales advances on his tour, it is natural for every party to make de- ei monstrations in keeping with its character. The fc Orangemen have erected, at different places, arches decorated with the picture of King Wil- 8? liam, the names of the chief Orange battle fields, fe and mottoes offensive to the young Prince ; 0i and the Prince declared at last that he would hi not enter any town where such displays were et made. At Toronto, however, the excitement 0I has broken out afresh?the Orangemen having ly erected a huge arch over the street where the pj Prince would pass to church, and decorated it as is above. The Prince and the Duke of Newcastle, pi his "guide and friend," avoided the arch, taking if a round-about way to the church; but the mob crowded upon them at church, threatened to q drag them under the arch, and followed them to the government house with shouts and yells, tand hoots and curses. 4? ts It is said that the prime intent of this royal ^ visit to America is to further a plan, which has been on foot at least sir years, to establish an ^ English Vice-royalty on this continent with the y Prince of Wales at its head, by grouping togeth-1 er the Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, ^ New Foundland, &c., under a common govern- * ment with a new name common to them all. These jt countries, it is said, wish a national name and a tl national character, though they do not abate one jot their devotion to the queen and the mother ?| country. 0J NEGRO-SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK. 8' The negroes of New York have the privilege of voting now, provided they possess property to 8| the amount of $250; but the freedom shriekers f8 desire to place them on perfect equality in this pj privilege with the white man. This is a logical H oonsequence of Northern sentiment; but so re- h pulsive is it to their better sense and better feel- h ing, that many are recoiling from it in disgust al and dismay. The New York Herald has taken t( up the cudgel against it; and the Sunday Times, lo alluding to its agitation in the next Legislature c of that State, calls it "the coming tribulation." n The Times makes the honest confession that the st negro is not regarded an equal socially ; that he ei is lazy and worthless ; and that he cares so little hi for his privilege of voting that he will not save tr the small sum of $250 to enable him to exercise pi it. It is a little curious how the Times staves off m the main question of the negroe's political infe n( riority, and speaks of the change merely as an ft unwarrantable extension of "the most dignified ^ privilege of freedom " Already, that paper says, many decent people stays away from the polls tj for the sake of decency; and, if they had to el bow their way to the ballot-box through a crowd of impudent buck negroes, many more would re main nt home. But if Cuffy is born "free and equal" with the white man, he should not forfeit jfl this "dignified privilege" simply because he is black, or because he does'nt happen to own two hundred and fifty dollars. No! there is lurking .( in the Northern mind, far beneath their shallow . te philanthropy and fanatical agitation of the slavery question, a deep, inate and ineradicable ^ conviction of the superiority of their own race. And the wisest and best of them, when they con- . template the monstrons results of a social and ^ political admixture of the two races, on equal terms, shudder at, indeed, a "coming tribula,, ? hi tion. ,.,T. Ei AUTUMN. ri "The sultry summer past, September comes, p) Soft twilight of the slow declining year, ce More sober than the buxom, blooming May, And therefore less the favorite of the world ; P? But dearest month of all to pensive minds." df Carlos Wilcox. uj There is a deep aud touching truthfulness in these beautiful verses of the poet, which strikes us all the more forcibly on these still-descend- ^ ing days of early autumn. To the gay auct ligtit- ^ hearted, nothing is so pleasing as spring, with its caroling birds, its opening flowers and its fresh glad sunshine Their hearts are in tune ?( with the gala-day glalnessof nature. Every jv thing rejoices; and the yielding, impressible spirit, light as a feather, without a single care to weigh it down, goes out in ecstatic sympathy j. with the eternal world. But the case is far cc different with the "pensive." Clad in the "sober livery" of their own thoughts, and gazing inwardly upon a heart experience checkered and n* abounding in scenes of joy and sadness, they have learned that hope is fickle, that change is certain and the future uncertain, and have surfit rendered themselves to the passive virtues of fortitude and resignation. These take to their tko enhmifiJrp nolrrmoQQ nf Nfiturfi ^ k( while being stript of her summer glories, as an apt illustration of their state of mind. Hence they feel a sympathy with the "melancholy days" which the "merry spring" has lost the power to ^ inspire. "Like seeks its like;" and while the sorrowless heart leaps in the sunny smiles of "buxom May," the "pensive delight in the soberer and wiser countenance of autumn. Indeed, some natures seem to be fitted from birth for enjoyment; others, for suffering.? ^ The virtue of one is faith to receive all evils as unseen good ; that of the other is charity to keop the-soul full of love and happiness. The temptations of the one are all on the side of levity ; V( those of the other, on the side of repining and ( fretfulness. Far be it from us to blame either rc of these classes,?as they blame each other?the one for its sobernes, the other for its gayety; for both have their uses and beauties, and thus they both have trickled from the plastic fingers of the Creator. The "nascent clay" of the one was "kneaded up" with the wine of mirthfulness rc and jollity; that of the other, with the tears of R tender hcartedness aud sympathy. And both, 'we say, have their uses and beauties?their pro- tr prieties of time aud place. The face of "fat old Jack Falstaff" would be in the wrong place in a E sick-room or at a funeral; but is perfectly at home amid the "merry roysterers" of a Bear's- tl Head Tavern. On the other baud a truly be- d nevolentjphysician, or a tender and sympathizing * woman, never appears ?u muiauio no nucu umu- ing up wounds, or pouring into thesorrow-strick- I cn spirit the richer balm of consolation. C To us the skies of autumn are bluer, its mornings more life-giving to the spirit, its sunsets u grauder, its moonlight lovlier, its hues of cloud- 1 land and landscape more variegated and ethereal s than at any other season. Is this merely in c compensation to Nature, because that she is to t lose her robe of greeu ? Nay, she holds a boun- i tiful harvest in her hands to feed birds and beasts t and man?and even the insect tribes. What a t lesson to us of charity?of joy in doing good !? r Again, matronly autumn seems conscious that t she bears about her the germs of a new resurrec- i tion; that she will hug them warm to her breast ^ through the icy winter; and that, when the spring comes, she will swell and bud, herself, ^ into a phoenix-like new-life. Thus she hopes to perpetuate her youthfulness ; and this hope sus r taius her amid all the effacing touches of decay. 8 So, with the "pensiveas day after day the e summer hues of happiness fade out of their minds, life's hitter cup is made sweet with the 1 hope of unblessed resurrection in the coming ' spring-time of heaven. j Dentil of Rev.

A writer in the Natchitoches Chronicle kys that the people in that part of Louisiana are arful of a coming famine?thousands of acres ' grain having failed to return the seed of the asbandman; the cotton being completely ruin1, save on the rivers and bayous; and the crop : acorns and nuts, on which their meat is usual fattened, being blasted and gone. The writer roposes to convene an extra session of the Leg lature at an early day, for the purpose of appopriating funds to save the people from want, not from actual starvation! By this time, it is more than likely that aribaldi ta3 set up his government at Naples, ad declaiod himself Dictator of the Two Sicipq. Acrcrdinc to the latest accounts, he had iken Raggio and 1500 prisoners; and the Calirians were flocking to his standard by thousnds.

We are ^ j in the midst of a servile war instigated by the Ridd Devil, planned by hellish fiends, and waged by 4.?, fanaticism and a false religion. It seems that Texas has been chosen as the field foroperat- g p ions during the Presidential canvass; and that the Kansas war is to be re-enacted on a grander scale, but for the same political purposes, that If a howl may be gotten up in the Republican camp Unit to advance Lincoln's election. These are the ev^" upon conclusions forced upon our minds; and proven any almost beyond a doubt by recent developments. 8iocc On the 8ih July the town of Dallas was fired -^e and entirely consumed ; and on the same day, canr about the same hour, several houses and stores with were burned in the country. Several suspicious J* persons were arrested; and here was the entering wedge that laid bare one of the deepest, cour a r\l<-?ta omp ,t*A trolL IDUbL CUOCHVC uuu uciuou jjwwu v?v? vvmwv?.?? by fiends incarnate.

These chaps have can- to b vassed the whole State, and enlisted in their poin cause a number of Northern mechanics, some of tra" mea whom have been here for years. In this way j they have gained access to many of the most in- proi telligent negroes, whom they decoyed into their our plot, and to whom they gave the plan of opera- ?a ? tion ; but the mass of negroes were to be kept in of S the dark till near the fatal day. tion Strychnine was distributed largely among the ^.u?' negroes, with instructions to poison the wells 0U8# and springs, on Sunday the 6th August?the day it, a > the election?and Monday morning to pat to o he coffee; then, while the men were gone i eleotion, to bum the houses and kill the n and children?reserving the daughters for to ( ; finally, to meet the men on their return forb the election, and dispatch all who had not victims to the strychnine !

This problem gra lot in my opinion, be satisfactorily solved Ion the lights now before us. le conviction is almost universal that some- f r should be done, yet very few, I think, have ed down, in their own minds, upon any ale se of action, not subject to be modified or con ed by circumstances, ichich cannot note he fore- J we ie election of Lincoln is itself a contingency, ( the surroundings with which this untoward . t, if it does come, may be ushered in, are ID? more uncertain. Much must depend on the . per and spirit in which it shall be met by 'so sister States of the South ; and as yet we can v nothing definite even as to Georgia, Ala- t0 a and Mississippi. It is now but a short i until the fall elections, and the uncertainof the future are not likely to be removed in interval. nder these circumstances it would, manifest- 40 be premature and unwise to raise issues bethe people, upon the question of the remedy po e pursued. Even the disoussion of these its would, at present, be calculated to dis- ha i and divide, by anticipation, without the pe ns of arriving at a sound conclusion, can imagine circumstances under which the mptest, boldest and most decisive action on 14 part would become the course of wisdom and rudence ; and I can, on the other band, as ly conceive that circumstances might require louth Carolina as a course of extreme cau, conciliation and forbearance. To raise the inj 3tion as to separate State action or co-opera- th at this time would be particularly mischiev- inl All prefer concerted action, if we can get se< nd would yield something of their own views an btain it; while, on the other hand, there are who would not sanction independent seces, under some possible contingencies. How ihould South Carolina yield.her own views jbtain concerted action ? What degree of earauce should be exercised for the sake of filiation ? All these are questioned to be delined when the emergency arises, and before, can scarce decide, at this time, whether the ion or the inauguration of Lincoln should be signal for action. hat then, is the true course of policy to be med? would earnestly recommend the following jestions: irst: Until after the fall election, avoid even iiscussion of the modus operandi of resistance, ind : Still more studiously eschew any such e in the elections themselves. Third: Let y man who himself realizes the importance le crisis, use his utmost efforts to make oththink and feel as he does. And lastly: Let test men in the State?let the Press, particu7, everywhere?unite in urging upon the lie that they shoutd demand the services, in next Legislature, of their wisest and best ?to be seat, in the true spirit of represenre government, uninstracted and untrammelto "take care that the Republic receives no iment." Who, upon such an appeal, in such isis, dare refuse ? The position rises, on ocons like this, to such dignity, that in the juage of Mr. Lowndes, it should be "neither ?ht nor declined." Ivery district in the State has its discreet and able men. Good sense and integrity, thank I, are not rare; and we still have amongst us le who are men of approved wisdom and pa tism?men fit to consult on a nation's destiny, rn these two classes should the "next Legisre" be selected. Let us have the right sort jen. "Principles not men," is a delusive cry, serves but to mislead. As John Randolph ily said, "principles without men" was like re without women." "Principles and men" le true motto. : is not the man who professes most, who (vers questions most promptly, or who is most itifal in pledges, who is most to be trusted rying times. Look to his antecedents! Has ihown, in bis past life, that he loved the te, more than his own selfish interests? Has ibown a sound judgment and a brave heart? ea, and the general bearing of his politics &cIs wuh public sentiment, it is enough. We not ask whether, ten years ago, he was Serionist, Co-operationist, Union man, Whig Democrat. Still less, upon this great Southisiue, whether, in the frivolous disputes, fined to South Carolina, he was Convention \mti-Convention. Was he honest then? Is honest now ? And does he at this time, bee that submission to sectional Black Repubn rule is disgrace and eventual ruin? These uld be the only test questions. A legislature s composed, will speak the voice, not of a ty?not a mere numerical majority?but, ;ly and truly, the voice of South Carolina. A CONSTITUENT. BY LAST EYiraG'S MAIL.

Sirs :?Dyspepsia, with its numberless associates, took up its abode with me, in opposition to the skill of many of the most celebrated physicians, until the spirit was willing (if no relief could be found) to surrender and bid adieu to its earthly tabernacle, when T was induced, by the urgency of a friend, to try TIIE OXGENATED BITTERS, little dreaming that the Gilead was in the boundless sea of patent medicines, as it was the first draught I was ever induced to quaff. Bat thanks be to God, it teas a balm, and a most efficient and grateful one, too. The most aggravating symptoms in my case were immoderate and irregalar beating of the heart .immediately after taking food, attended with great prostration, and very frequently violent attacks of palpitation, lasting from twelve to twentyfour hours, leaving the stomach so perfectly powerless that even a spoonful of milk or rice water would seem burdensome. I commenced by taking half a teaspoonful?the extent was a full one. I was very persevering until I had taken three bottles; since then, at intervals, I have taken two more. 1 began to realize its genial effects immediately ; besides, it is extremely grateful and refreshing as a beverage, which is a charm that but few medicines can boast of. I would, sirs, most heartily and earnestly beg all who are afflicted with Dyspepsia in any form to test your Oxygenated Bitters, as I do esteem them invaluable. Very respectfully, MISS M. STOCKING.
