Congress passed an act in 1S45, "to
establish a uniform time for holding elections
for electors of President and Vice

This act fixes the time of election on the

the month of November"?which this year
is on the sixth day of the month. All the
electors must be chosen or appointed on
that day, except in the Electoral College,
or where a State has failed to effect an election

The head and chest of one of them was not
burned, and by this means the rest were
identified as the party who left California

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.

WORDS OP CAUTION.
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 ?|

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.

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

At the late meeting of the Elders and
eacons of Bethel Presbytery, held at Chester
. II., the following resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That we recommend the last Thursly

id Deacors of this Presbytery, for united pray

ir the outpouring of the spirit of God.
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.
Many Neapolitan officers have said that
ley would not fight against Italians. Moreover
ictor Emanuel is said to have affirmed that he
ould not resist the tide of Italian feeling?that
e must lead in their movement for union and
eedom, or be swept away by it. He was send>g,
at the latest information, all the Sardinian
oops he could muster to Naples, to prevent the
overnment from going to anarchy. This means
lat Francis II can no longer manage the affairs
f Naples, and that Garibaldi must and will be
istained as Dictator.
The fusion movement in New York is
till pending, though likely to be a complete
tilure. Douglas threw cold water upon it, in a
seech which he made recently in that State.?
[e expressed his desire to defeat Lincoln, and
is willingness to unite with any man, provided
e would fi rst assert his unalterable and inalienble
attachment to the Union, and his readiness
> assist any administration in carrying out the
iws of the land under any and every contingen
p. Till Mr. Breckinridge should do this, he
eed not talk about union. He was for the Conitution
and the enforcement of the laws, at
rery hazard; and wished another Jackson was
ere among us to hang Northern and Southern
aitors on the same gallows. Verily, he is a

many of them call themselves "Rail-splitrs,"
or "Rail-maulers." They drill at night
ith torches, which they can exchange for musits
at a moment's warniug. Their uniform is
leather cape and caps to match. They are

Lincoln should be elected President of the 18/
ed States (and this seems a very probable
t) the next Legislature will have devolved 1
i it the highest responsibility under which ?1
General Assembly of this State has met die
i the adoption of the present Constitution, tail
"crisis" will then indeed be upon us. in
hat shall we do with it? 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.

THE OXYGENATED BITTERS.
Tho qualities of this medicine have placed it
upon an imperishable foundation. In destroying
disease, and inducing health, it has no parallel.
For the following complaints these Bitters are
a Specific, viz: ?Dyspepsia, or indigestion, Heart
Burn, Acidity, Costiveness, Loss of Appetite,
Headache, and General Debility.
In many sections of our country this preparation
is extensively used by physicians in their
practice, and it seems to have restored many to

York, Livingston Co., N. Y-, Oct. 1, 1859.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Co.,?
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.
