Straps & jfacts. ? "A company of "Minute-Men" numbering seventy odd members, has been organized at Rock Hill, in this District. ? Several small droves of hogs have already reached Lynchburg, Va., which were sold readily at 86 per cwt. gross. ...... One pcany a day will buy food iD China sufficient to enable a man to live comfortably. The population of Arkansas is likely to exceed 500,000, and she will probably be entitled to four, if not five Representatives in Congress. She now sends but two. The census of Vermont, it is stated, will show a decrease since 1850 of about four or five thousand. This is, we believe, the first instance in the history of the country where the population of a State has receded in the course of ten years. ...... The Russian government has ordered the Polish clergy not to urge the people to total abstinence, because the revenues from taxes on spirits may be diminished. They are, however, allowed to enlarge in general terms on the blessings of temperance. We learn from a private letter to our friend Dr. Babcock, that Mr. Till Ingram, formerly a citizen of this District, but now a resident of Florida, has been elected to the State Senate of that State, by a handsome majority.?Standard. Mr. Boyce, in a speech at Columbia, on Tuesday, took the ground that, if Lincoln is elected, South Carolina should "in the quickest manner and by the most direct means withdraw from the Union. The way to create revolution, he said, is to start it ourselves. It appears from returns in possession of the Auditor of Public Accounts, that there are at the present time, in Virginia, 52,456 slave owners over 21 years of age. This is about one-fourth of the entire portion of the population who have arrived at years of maturity. The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday last, says : "The market for hogs is sluggish, but prices are unchanged. We heard of one or two small sales for .November delivery at $5.50 gross, which, including the slaughtering, is equal to $6.75 net. Packers are daily becoming more indifferent about buying for future delivery at current rates." We take the following from the * Helena (Ark.) Shield : "A vast number of negroes are now being brought South ^-for a market. The possibility of the election of Lincoln may have something to do with this. The owners of negroes living in the border States of Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia and Maryland, seem determined that they will not be the losers if Disunion should befall the country; hence they are rapidly selling off their slaves." As the polite omnibus agent of the Lexington and Louisville Railroad was going through the ladies' car, checking baggage, he asked a very pretty young lady if she had any baggage she wished taken to the hotel? She replied, "Nosir." The agent then asked her if she desired a 'bus ? She instantly gave him a very sweet smile and replied, "No, sir, I am not in a bussing humor this evening." The agent dropped his memorandum book, hastily re* tired to the baggage car, and said he felt x unwell. ....... A very loquacious lady offered to bet her husband $50 that she would not speak a word for a week. "Done," cried the delighted husband, instantly tabling the money, which the lady as soon grabbed and put in her pocket, observing very naively that she would secure it until the bet.was decided. "Why!" said the husband, "I have won it already," and required her to fork over. "Not at all," said the lady; "you are mistaken in the time? I mean the week after I am buried." The lady went a "shopping" that same aftercoon. In the school of David Parke, Esq.. of Parkersburg, Pa., an ink bottle, pint size, about two-thirds full, was placed for safe-keepiDg in the oven of a ten plate stove. A few days ago a fire was lighted in the stove, the teacher having forgotten the bottle was there. The consequence was a rousing explosion, so violent as to break the stove in several places, and throw the fire upon the floor, at the same time scattering the ink over the walls and ceiling so profusely as to scarcely leave a square foot that was not more or less spotted. The teacher and scholars escaped unhurt, yet far enough from unscared. ?We were shown on yesterday an invention which we think excels anything in the way of firearms that we previously ever saw. It consists of a common shaped rifle barrel, to which are annexed two tubes, which tubes are parallel with the barrel. One of these is for powder, the other for ball. By a peculiar arrangement of the lock of the gun, the main barrel is made to revolve, and bring the tubes in succession over the chamber of the gun, and by this means a load is deposited. This loads the gun forty times, without replenishing either powder or ball. Maynard's pateut primers oa fknf o norcnn mot?

Bonhatn were sernaded by a large crowd of citizens, last evening, in front of the Congaree House. The Rifle Band, which was in attendance, enlivened the scene by their spirited music. Mr. Chesnut was called out, and delivered a stirriug and eloquent speech to the citizens, in which he strongly urged separate State action, should no other State move, in the event of Lincoln's election. Messrs Bonham, Rhett, sr., Tradewell and T. J. Warren also addressed the crowd in the same spirit. There was much enthusiasm exhibited, and the speakers were frequently interrupted by loud and repeated cheers? Columbia Carolinan, 6th inst. Our Fall Court adjourned on Thursday. There were four convictions in the Sessions: ODe for three offences, retailing, keeDins a gambling house, and assault and . ?

In the remaining two cases for assault and battery, in which the defendants pleaded guilty, in the one, the defendant, was fined five dollars, and in the other, (Town Marshal) the defendant was fined one cent. There were but two civil cases of any importance or length. In both, the plaintiffs recovered verdicts for upwards of one thousand dollars.

Sl THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8,1860. cl I = u' THE FUTURE OF ITALY. fo While we are divided and distracted at home, ^ and looking anxiously into an uncertain and dark future, it will be well for us to turn our t eyes across the Atlantic, and draw lessons of courage and patriotic devotion from the passing struggle of the Italians for unity and indepen dence. All the elements of apparent discord, " rife in that land for the last eighteen months, ct tend to the same grand denouement?an Italian ni Confederacy. Last Spring we closed an article 01 on this subject, with the remark that "Italy is w free" ; and, now, beneath the hot breath of rev- pi olution and the cautious wisdom of statesman- tr like policy, we can feel the strong pulse of the people from the Alps to Sicily, throbbing still w for the same thing. Cavour and Garibaldi, hith- er erto arrayed against each other, have become rec- to onciled; and are found to be working sedulously, h( though by different means, for the accomplish- U1 ment of the same purpose. They both desire Si to make Rome in the end the Capital of United to Italy, and to absorb not only the States of the >* Church, but Venice also, into the new confeder- ai acy. The Sardinian Premier in a recent debate be- e3 fore the Parliament of his country, said that six c< months would effect an entire change in the con- ai dition of Italy, and remove all obstacles to to Union ; that 24,000,000 freemen fighting under Ul the tri color flag, could defy Austria; and that di Europe would not attempt to defeat their hopes, ai after victory has perched upon their banners 1)1 and honored their policy. Ul Here we have the magnificent spectacle of a 01 great, though divided people, rising up through bi the inhereut force of patriotism, battling for an hi idea?but a vital one to them?and likely to achieve that idea most superbly. What is it that 8' ' iwu_* u?? hi Oiesses Italy SO riClliy ; nuni UU3 her the purse and the sympathies of the civili- & red world, and especially that portion of the lt civilized world where "young Freedom" treads w with all the stateliness of an Apollo ? What Cf has made her so successful ? It is a long sup- tr pressed but warm and energetic patriotism, rendered doubly ardent and determined by the mis- ft' rule of petty tyrannies, and sublimed to the 01 highest pitch of valor and enthusiasm, by the V1 heroic and lofty memories of the past. One great difference between Italy and us of c' the South at the present time, is the recollection to the former of what she was in the palmier days of the "Republicr" or when refulgent with ^ the learning, wit, refinement and statesmanship w of the Augustan age. If national recollections ^ are the foundation of national character, the more glorious the past, the brighter become the ^ prospects of the future. Animated with patriotic impulses which are kindled to a white-heat by the glorious recollections of the pas';?awa- (j u??.,> fkxi "routr nfhprr.haos hv the* tr KVIICH ..U.U ?UV ? clarion call of Garibaldi, and rolled out from his fingers a new world of energy and vitality jj into its orbit of revolution; and supported on u "the broad Atlantean shoulders" of Count Ca- p vour, Italy is fast taking her proud position in p] the European systen of nations, not as the "lone hi mother of dead empires," but the living agent of p( a new era of peace and progress. Glorious old ei Lazarus of lands, come forth fron the grave of Anarchy! fa FEMALE PATRIOTISM. M The Atlanta (Georgia) American, reporting lT the third day of the Fair, says: R "Not the least attractive feature of the day ai was the appearance on the grounds of a party ,. of twenty seven ladies, teachers and pupils of the "Spring Hill School," under the supervision sc of that gifted advocate of the development of 0f Southern agriculture, and actual independence in q the Union, Rev. C. W. Howard, all attired in a substantial check homespun dress, made fash- a ionably full and flowing. When this spirit of si independence seizes upon the minds of our daugh- ce ters and wives, divested of its fanaticism, as 1 K? >t,Q ufornor spr we mftv look for good practicu! results. The members of this school brought for exhibition, but not to contest for premiums, a large number of very beau C1 tiful articles, such as tidys, embroidered slip- er pers, and various articles of dress, and fancy bead work for table mats, &c. But twenty-seven blooming, bright-eyed Southern lasses, in cloth of Southern manufacture, of which the ai staple was peculiar to their homes, was iudeed a jc sight worth seeing on a Southern fair ground." Thus has women, at all periods of national ^ danger, whenever and wherever she has beeu allowed to give voice and utterance to the noble p impulses of her heart, proven that her devotion to the weal of her country ami the welfare of , posterity, is equal to man's. The mothers aud ^ daughters of Rome once gave up all their glit tj teriug jewels to save the "eternal city." During the "heavy night" which hung dark over our own shores through the dreadful era of '7G, s) some ot the most tnniungiy gionous ncis 01 mc y drama were performed by women. We need not, and we dare not even attempt to enumerate tbeir deeds of queenly heroism. And in the ^ quieter walks of life, by the sacrifice of every ( luxury, the endurance of every hardship and the C) performance of the most drudging as well as j( laborious toil, they left the impress of their lof- 8| ty patriotism upon the history of their times. Let no one hastily conclude that we are the advocates of Amazonism either in the feelings or , behavior of woman. No amount of energy, strength of purpose and courageous resolution, Qj will atone in her for the lack of the more ferai- rn nine qualities of modesty, grace and true spiritual beauty. Yet there is a silent heroism belonging to her nature, which, in times of peace, p pervades society with its leaven of self-denial el and charity, and which varies, enlarges and pop * laiizes i?s effects in proportion to the public dan- ff ger or necessity, before she can lay claim sue- S cessfully to the highest distinctions of full ^ grown womanhood. It is this principle that ^ makes her man's "ministering angel," indeed : w his stay and support; his companion and friend ; g fountoin nf li io Awn a ad pn rrn roon_ ^ iue uui?.....fc v.." .?*?- j lution and hope. How much is every home energized and strengthened, where the mother, the sister, the r wife, not only refines the inmates by her match b 'ess grace and delicacy, bat also casts them f in the mould of her own high-toned spirit and ? independence ! And the nation which receives c the impress of a race of such women, cannot c fail to become great. The mother of Washing- 1 ton made him the purest patriot and the noblest hero the world has produced ; and she was what a ' is too often sneeringly called a woman of "iron t 1 will and masculine qualities." We have no pa- 1 ' tience with that sickly sentimentalism and kid- ' i " gloved philosophj*, which makes woman a mere n chit, too feeble to do auything but faint in the C ' hour of danger ; frightened at the fall of a leaf j! and oppressed with the perfume of a rosebud. p 1 Nothing can be truer than that bgr nature is ii : best nourished and guarded by peace, and that her whole soul is attuned to the mission of do mestic love and social charity. But so sure as u she can rise to the sentiments of patriotism and e philanthropy, just so sure these virtues will work ? out for her that latent heroism which denies self ? and braves danger, for the present and future e weal of her country. Even in times of actual b struggle, however, it is not for her to draw the s] sword and inflict wounds, but to follow in the it wake of strife and heal them. ii Last year when tbe John Brown exoitemeut rept the South like a tempest of wrath, a few n( irginia ladies and some others, in imitation of e mothers and daughters of'76, put on home tj tun ; and now on the ere of the inauguration 01 'the rail-splitting dynasty in the United States, eorgia's daughters have "done likewise." The p, cample is worthy of general imitation. In the nion or out of it, with or without civil strife, ? ich a written page of history as would chroni j e this event, that the women of the South had m aanimously given up their ease and luxuries I r principles vital to the "interests of their sec- '? on, would make them an argument and referice in the mouths of unborn patriots, while ruggling for their country's liberty. C PARENTAL DEPORTMENT. Bishop Taylor says: "Parents must give good camples and reverent deportment in the face cc ' their children. And all those instances of to larity which usually endear each other?eweet- w jss of conversation, affability, frequent admo- ,, .tions?all significationsof love and tendemesB, ire and watchfulness, must be expressed to- P ards children, that they may look upon their c( irents as their defence and sanctuary, their easure and their guide." It is too often the case with fathers who mean ft' it ell, that they allow the cares of business to icroach upoD, and at length completely absorb, f lose hours of the day which are due to their msehold ; and children are neglected, to grow s' i like rank and noisonous weeds in a garden.? Drue men seem to think it a childish weakness d' i love children. Home can never be as attracte to the young as it should be, unless some time id pains be taken to make it so. The disposion of the "little folks" is to be studied, their ccesses pruned, their manners moulded, their mversation and deportment rendered chaste id lovely; none of which can be done when ie mother "troubles herself about many things" aceasingly, leaving the education of her chil- ^ :en entirely to a lazy and ill-mannered nurse ; ^ id the father comes into his home with a cloudy ^ row or fevered eye, either depressed or elated ^ awontedly with business speculations, to muse rer his hard fate in silence, or to bustle and ^ isy away the precious hours of social joy and ime culture in sordid calculations. Home cannot be an Egeria, welling its bright, ^ ad waters of peace and happiness for the ;art, when the green and putrid scum of seljkness and child-hate is allowed to collect on .f s surface. Sourness on the part of parents ill beget a sour disposition in children. We innot too soon recognize and act upon the great uth, so forcibly expressed by Gardener Spring, lat "the parent is the god of the child," especilly during its tendere9t years. And this truth nee recognized, it becomes above all things iluable to the child that its mother possess a meek and quiet spirit," full of wisdom and L.

MERE-MENTION. " The London Commercial Recorder states that ie Great Eastern steamship is so shaken up and eakeued that she is unseaworthy.

""The San Antonio Ledger, of ie 18th ult., says : "Not a day passes that we dl to note in our streets one or more trains of [exicao carts, varying in number from six to reive or fifteen, laden with cotton going to the io Grande." Out West they have what e called "solid lies." We have heard of white, " ack and very mean ones, but not before a ilid article. They probably look like a piece 'charcoal. Dr. W. M.

In the city of Mexico recently, E i historical play was introduced on the stage, i which an appeal was represented to be made i a monarch by his subjects, for the blessings " ' peace. At this stage of the play, a gentle ^ ion in the audience arose and, addressing the G resident, depicted in heart-rending tones the liseries of the Mexican people, and begged him C Iso to grant his people the boon of peace. The d ead of the police, by order of Miramon, dragged le poor fellow to prison, where he was senten- H ?d to receive five hundred stripes at daybreak d est morning. When three hundred and fifty ^ :ripes had been administered, word was sent to T [iiamon that the man was dying. "Let the ^ jmainder," was his brutal reply "be given on S1 ie dead body; my order must be carried out." 11 t another time a woman who had been caught n ttempting to facilitate her husband in his esipe from a Miratnon press-gang, was whipt to 0 eath. Such deeds make the age blush for 0 latne. b The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following ? ertinent remarks relative to the effects of sec- ' onal agitation on the trade of the North west: "The sluggishness produced by the condition 11 f affairs in the South still continues, and the larket has all the dull appearance that charao vi srized it yesterday.

We fear that th Deople in that section are not fully aroused t :he importance of agricultural improvement ind the excellence of the means afforded by Society conducted with spirit and united energj (Ve hope better for the future, however ; it onl; leeds such meaus to make that country the mos desirable in the Distrist.

Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 3rd, 1860. Messrs. Editors:?He who now-a days write :oncerning anything save matters political, ma .'XDect to find few interested readers ; and h vho atteraptB to write on politics, will find him elf engaged in the very pleasant and profitabi msiness of sailing without chart or compass ipon a stormy and uncertain sea. To Sout 3nrolinians, who are almost entirely free fron he strife, turmoil and ill-feeling, consequen ipon the existence of several?and in some re ipects widely differing?political parties, th oregoing remark may seem unfounded. But it ustice will be readily acknowledged by ever jandid witness of the events, which have trans jired in this city?the very heart of the Sout ?during the last few days. As you are aware, Stephen A. Douglas?th 'Squatter Chief'?had made an appointmen lome weeks ago, to address the people of Ala )ama, at this place, on the 2nd November. 0 he night of the 1st, he made his entree into thi iity. Met at the Depot, and welcomed by hi friends and adherents of Montgomery, and othe rortionsof the State?who, to do the State jus :ice, were not very numerous?he was escorte ;o his quarters at the "Exchange Hotel." 0 he arrival of the procession at the Hotel, an ust as Mr. Douglas and party were alightin rom the carriage in which they had been oon rcyed from the depot, a shower of eggs fell upo ihem. Whence they came has not been ascei :ained. The act certainly reflects no credit upo :he parties concerned. If Douglas was allowe 10 visit the city at all, he should have bee ireated with civility while here. Such eeems t je the general sentiment, and the perpetrator of the act, are condemned by public opinion. Douglas addressed the people from the portic jf the State House, yesterday. He spoke nearl three hours, the audience?which was very larg ?standing all the while. Of the address I hat /ery little to say. It was simply a re-hash < the Harper's Magazine article on "Popular Sot ereignty," and of the Norfolk speech on "Dis anion," accompanied with wrathful denunciation of the "Administration," and the Breckinridg party, and interspersed with glowing panegyric upon Stephen A. Douglas. In the discussion < the "squatter" question, he failed to meet th points at issue "squarely and fairly." Hi whole argument may be summed up in the tw words, evasion and perversion. One page of Ca houn's speech in the Senate, on the "Orego Bill," in 1848, would upset his whole fabric.He accused the Administration and the Brecl inridge Democrats of co operating with the R< publicans, against himself?said that they ha oot the most remote idea of electing their cand date, but simply wished to defeat him. In cas Lincoln should be elected, he saw no cause fc Jisunion, plainly implying what he said at Noi folk, that he would uphold the administratio [Lincoln's) in coercing the South if she shoul withdraw from the Union. And this sentimec was applauded by some ! I had hoped, Messrs Editors, never to hear such sentiments utterec much less applauded on Southern soil. Xii ight of peaceable secession is the dearest righl md only safeguard of the Southern States, an when they yield that, they yield their all. Tb question is more vital than that of slavf ry itsel ?for neither the institution of slavery, nor an; jther of our institutions, are secure without thi lafeguard for their preservation. Deny oar righ ;o hold slaves?deny our right to enjoy the bene f fits of our common Government! we have still - a means of securing them?but, great heavens! - touch not our constitutional right to withdraw s from the Union, for we are then deprived of evee rything, save that which belongs to the most de. graded and oppressed people on earth?the right - of revolution. i Mr. Douglas left the city last night, for Selma, 1 where he speaks to-day. Previous to the depart0 ure of the boat, the deck became somuchcrowd1 ed that it fell in, precipitating several persons - into the river. Mrs. D., who accompanied her husband, was slightly injured by the fall. The city has been densely crowded during the week. The State Fair opened on Monday, and will close to day. It is said to be very nearly a failure. t The theatre handbills present the name of the a young tiagedian, John Wilkes, alias for Booth, who is a son of the great tragedian, Edwin Booth, and brother of Edwin Booth, Jr. He possesses e some merit as an actor, but is by no means equal - to his brother. w But enough! I fear that I have already taxed too far, your patience, and that of your readers. Yours &c., TIMON. The Legislature. 8 The Legislature of South Carolina, in pursuance of the Proclamation of the Governor, assembled at the State House on Monday, at 12 M. The Senate. The Hon. P. J. Moses was called to the Chair, certificates of election'read, and members duly qualified. The Hon. W. D. Porter was unania mously elected President, and upon assuming ^ the Chair, addressed the body in the following ' impressive and dignified remarks : Senators:?I thank you for this new manifestation of your confidence and favor, and accept y it in the same kindly spirit in which I know it is tendered. It shall be my endeavor to discharge the duties of the office with fidelity?to promote the wishes and give expression to the sense of the body, according to the rules which have been laid down for our government. * The short year has removed from all earthly ,l scenes three of those who participated in our i, last deliberations. This is an unusual mortality, j While we pay our last tribute to the memories of our departed associates, letus take the solemn r admonition home to our own hearts, and make timely preparation for the coming of the death 1 messenger, who comes to each but once, but r comes to all. I do not seek now to lift the veil that hides " the future from our sight, but we have all our s instinctive feeling that we are on the eve of great events. His Excellency the Governor, in the terms of his call has summoned us to take 1 action, if advisable, for the safety and protection s of the Stale. Heretofore, we have consulted for r its convenience and well being ;?now its destiny, its very existence, depends on our action. It was the old injunction, in times of great public ' peril, fo the Roman Consuls, to take care that d the public sustained no detriment. This charge lt and injunction is now addressed to us. All that is dear and precious to this people?life, e noma an/4 ),!otnho all id nammtltOii f/, y our keeping, for weal or for woe, for honor or for shame. Let us do our part, so that those who come after us shall acknowledge that we were not unworthy (f the great trusts devolved upon us, nor unequal to the great exigencies by . which we were tried. Above all things, let us be of one mind. We are all agreed as to our wrongs; letu9 sacrifice all difference of opinion 8 as to time and mode of remedy upon the altar of e patriotism and for the sake of the great cause.? 0 In our unanimity will be our strength, physical and moral. No human power can withstand or '? breakdown a united people standing upon their a own soil, and defending their homes and firesides. r< May we be so united, and may the great Gover nor of men and of nations inspire our hearts and ' courage, and inform our understandings with 4 wisdom, and lead us in the way of honor and of safety. g Gen. W. E. Martin was then elected Clerk; A. D. Goodwynn Reading Clerk ; and Gailr* lard Doorkeeper. The Hon. N. Heyward, and the Hon. W. D Simpson, delivered handsome and touching tributes to the memory and worth of their pre s decessors, Hon. L. O'Bryan, and Hon. James s* Irby, deceased. Home of Representatives, d Mr. Boylston, of Fairfield, upon motion of Mr. , Buist, of Charleston, was called to the Chair, for the purpose of organization. The certificates of e election were read, and members elect duly >f sworn in. A ballot was ordered for the election of Speaker, and Gen. Simons having received 110 votes?all the votes cast?was declared ' unanimously elected. Upon being conducted to ' the Chair, tha Sneaker returned his thanks in II feeling and appropriate terras, as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives :?It is with great difficulty that I can find language to express the profound sensations which fill my breast on this occasion. That I should at the end of a long connection with this House have 18 had the good fortune to receive such a testiraoy nial of the confidence of the people of this come monwealth, through the votes of their represen tatives this day, is enough to excite in me emotions that can scarcely be expressed. Allow me It to tender to you my most profound acknowledgements, and to testify without affectation the ' heartfelt gratitude which this evidence of your confidence has excited within me. a The duties of this chair, and I have a right to t say so from long experience, are full of difficul ty, care, and responsibility. In ordinary seasons they are so. but all those elements are e multiplied when connected with such a crisis as ,s now overhangs this State; and unless I have y your aid in the direction and moderation of the debates and deliberations of this Assembly, I shall have little hope of accomplishing the purIt pose for which you have placed me in this seat; I therefore ask you to bear with each other and with me, and to give all your energy, all your talents, and all your spirit to the common good 1 of our beloved commonwealth. I now commend i- you, gentlemen, to the business of the General Q Assembly. The Senate sent a message through its Clerk 3 that it had organized, and was ready to proceed 8 to business. r The following message was received from his _ Excellency the Governor, and read by his Private ' Secretary, Col. Watts. It commanded the eard nest attention of the House, n Executive Department, 1 d Columbia, S. C., Nov. 5) 1860. / ~ Gentlemen of the Senate 6 and House of Representatives: The Act of Congress passed in the year 1846, n enacts that "the Electors of President and VicePresident shall be appointed on Tuesday next after the first Monday of the month of NovemD berof the year in which they are to beappoind ted." The annual meeting of the Legislature n of South Carolina, by a constitutional provision, will not take place until the fourth Monday 0 in November instant, and I have considered it '6 my duty, under the authority conferred upon me to convene the Legislature on extraordinary occasions, to convene you, that you may on to0 morrow appoint the number of Electors of 7 President and Vice President to which this ;e State is entitled. re Under ordinary circumstances, your duty could be soon discharged, by the election of Electors, " representing the choice of the people of the 7 State; but in view of the threatening aspect of 5. affairs, and the strong probability of the election to the Presidency of a sectional candidate, 18 by a party committed to the support of measures ie which/if carried out, will inevitably destroy our is equality in the Union, and ultimately reduce the Southern States to mere provinces of a consolidated despotism, to be governed by a fixed 16 majority in Congress, hostile to our institutions, is and fatally bent upon our ruin, I would respect ro fully suggest that the Legislature remain in session, and take such action as will prepare the State for any emergency that may arise. n That an expression of the will of the people - may be obtained on a question involving such momentous conseqences, I would earnestly recommend, that in the event of the election of 3' Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency, a Convend tion of the people of this State be immediately i_ called, to consider and determine "the mode and measures of redress." 6 My own opinions of what the Convention ,r should do are of little moment; but believing - that the time has arrived when every one, hown ever humble he may be, should express his opinions in unmistakeable language, I am con" strained to say, that the only alternative left, in it my judgment, is the secession of South Carolina I. from the Federal Uuion. The indications from ^ many of the Southern States justify the conclu ' sion that the secession of South Carolina will be e immediately followed, if not adopted simultanet, ously by them, and ultimately by the entire ^ South. The long desired co-operation of the other States, having similar institutions, for e which the State has been waiting, seems to be f near at hand, and, if we are true to ourselves, y will soon be realized. The State has, with great g unanimity, declared that she has the right peaoeably to seoede, and no power on earth can right1 fully prevent it. If, in the exercise of arbitrary i- power, and forgetful of the lessons of hiBtory, the Government of the United States should at tempt coercion, it will become our solemn duty to meet force by force ; and whatever may be the decision of the Convention representing the sovereignty of the State?and amenable to no earthly tribunal?shall, daring the remainder of ] my administration, be carried out to the letter, regardless of any hazards that may surround its execution. I would, also, respectfully recommend a thorough reorganization of the Militia, so as to place the whole military force of the State in a position to be used at the shortest notice, and with the greatest efficiency. Every man in the State, between the ages of eighteen and j forty-five, should be well armed with the most effective weapons of modern warfare, and all : the available means of the State used for that ( purpose. In addition to the general preparatiou, I would f also recommend that the services of ten thous* ( and volunteers be immediately accepted ; that they be organized and drilled by officers chosen by themselves, and hold themselves in readiness J to be called on upon the shortest notice. , With this preparation for defence?and with all the hallowed memories of past achievements } ?and with our love of liberty and hatred to ( tyranny?and with the knowledge that we are , ~ * i 1 I contending ior tne saiety 01 our uuuiea ?uu un- ( I sides?we confidently appeal to the Disposer of , I all human events, and safely trust our cause in his keeping. , WM. H. GIST. Col. Buist moved that the house proceed at 12 M. to day, (Tuesday,) to elect Electors for 1 the President of the United States. Also, that so much of the Governor's Message as relates to arming the State be made the special order today at 1 P. M. Col. John Cunningham, of Charleston, introduced the following resolutions: ( Whereas the General Assembly of South Carolina, by the seventh clause of the Appropriation Act of 1859, provided "for the Military contingencies one hundred thousand dollars, to j | be drawn and accounted for as directed by the ( Legislature." And whereas the 4th resolution of a series of ( resolutions on Federal affairs, adopted on the 16tb ( December 18 9, declared "that the State of South Carolina owes it to her own citizens to protect . them and their property from every enemy ; and , that for the purpose of military preparations for any emergency, the sum of one hundred thous- , and dollars ($100,000) be appropriated for J military contingencies." And whereas this appropriation has been neither Hr*wn nor used for the Duroose indicated, and it is proper that South Carolina should in any event, and under any condition of affairs, | external or domestic to her, have a better and larger supply of arms : i Resolved, Therefore, that the governor of the f | State be authorized and directed to draw forth \ with the said appropriated sum, and use it, in a manner his discretion may deem best for the c public service, in obtaining improved small arms, tin altering and improving those on band, in j I procuring a field battery of rifled cannon, in i providing proper accoutrements to accompany j j these different arms, and in furnishing an addi- i tional supply of tents. Mr. Kennedy, of Sumter, moved that the daily ( proceedings of the House be opened with prayer, t Mr. Coffin, of Charleston, proposed that the i 22d Novemoer be appointed a day of Humilia- | tion, Fasting and Prayer, and that the Govern- 1 | or communicate the same to the Legislatures ot the other Southern States. i Made the special order to day at 2 o'clock. 1 For the Yorkville Enquirer. Messrs. Editors: The following article from the Columbia Guardian, seems to be an echo from a recent publication in the Rock Hill Chronicle, which at the time was favorably noticed by several of the up-country press. As the " J?,i < ?_ ,k? , uuoernatoniu uuair is cuuuuucu, mi mo uw i term, to the low country, public opinion will at least endorse the "qualifications" of the Hon. J. Duucan Allen, of Barnwell. He has never been for Separate State action before, nor is he now, so far as the present writer is aware, but one thing is well known, that under his guidance the "Commonwealth will suffer no detriment." Rock Hill, S. C. '7G. Oar Next Governor-Hon, J. D. Allen. It is a well ascertained fact that a large portion of the people of South Carolina, for some time past, have desired to bestow the office of Governor upon the distinguished Senator from Barnwell, whose name we present at the head of this short communication; and the time has come for an organized effort to that end. That Senator Allen possesses the proper qualifications, no one doubts; and that he is ready to make the illustrious sacrifices which the holding of the Executive office a: this juncture may involve, should stimulate his friends in the Legislature to suitable exertions to elect him. Let it be at once known that Senator Allen is the bold and intrepid advocate of Separate State Secession, if need be, in the event of the election of LiD coin, the Republican abolitionist, and that to achieve the measure of se.f-preservation, he is in favor of holding a Convention at the earliest practicable moment. Thus, brave in spirit, orthodox in sentiment, and prepared for the sacrifice of life and fortune upon the altar of Southern safety and preservation, conciliatory in manner, and trustful in his friends, it seems to us nothing would be fitter than to place Senator Allen, at this fearful crisis, in the Executive Chair. NO 8UBMISSIONIST. Good News from Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. We have hid the pleasure of conversing with a gentleman who returned yesterday evening, from a special visit to several of the Western States, and has had interviews with the Execu tive officers of the above States. He gives most cheering news of the feeling which exists. The public mind in Mississippi is intensely aroused, and so scon as the telegraph gives sufficient returns to make certain the election of Lincoln, Gov. Pettus will immediately take steps for convening the Legislature, that measures may be at once taken. The disunion vote will be over whelming. Mississippi will give South Carolina co operation, and these two will in all probabili ty be the advanced guard of the Southern exodus from the Union. In Alabama, too, the feeling is very strong. The Breckinridge party, on.t a 1 nrirfl nnrfinn nf thp. Rail nartv. ar? for rn ***"" *" '?a" I - J J, ?- -sistance, and the opinion of the leading men of the State is that the disunion vote will compose a very heavy majority. Georgia is very much a roused, too, and the Governor, it is expected, will call for a large appropriation to arm the State. The feeling is growing that, sooner or later, the issue will have to be met, and Georgia will be ready for it. Gov. Moore, of Alabama, is thoroughly aroused, and will, as soon as he receives intelligence that Lincoln has been elected. issue writs for election of delegates from the several counties. Owing, however, to the framing of the act, by which the Convention is to be convoked, it cannot meet before the first of February. He has no discretion in the matter, and, we are authentically informed, regrets exceedingly that ho has not. In Louisiana, the feeling is not so decided, though it is thought that the disunion movement will prevail. Florida, we are told, considers herself somewhat in advance of South Carolina. These indications will gratify all who deprecated the issue of solitary or co-operative State action. They give us unity and harmony among ourselves, and readiness to act as soon as the contingency renders it necessary, without giving our enemies, if per chance we should have such to interpose to prevent our action, the advantages which they would derive from our delay.?South Carolinian.
