Eon. Bobert Tocmbs.
Wc have observed a notice for some days posted
in our village that this gentleman will deliver a
speech at Hartwell, Ga., on Thursday of this week,
upon politics* generally, and in favor of Brecken
ridge and Lane. Were it not for religious mect
''giuning in our District on that day and the
military reviews, we feel confident that large num?
bers of our citizens would attend, but the occa
eio.ns mentioned will prevent them gratifying a
strong desire to hear one of Georgia's best orators.
Atlanta Medical College.
Among the recent graduates of this institution,
wo are pleased to notice the names of our friends,
E. M. Brown and Thos. H. Sanders, of this Dis?
trict. They have our best wishes for success in
their profession.
We learn that there were over two h'vndfcd stu?
dents during the past term in this College, and
that its prospects are in every way brightening.
The efforts to establish a Medical College of high
order in the prosperous city of Atlanta have met
with flattering encouragement, and we predict for
it still more rapid growth into popular favor.
Our Contributors.
We feel much indebted for the kindness of those
friends who have numbered themselves amotrjr"onr
corps of contributors. Several have long? experi?
ence as newspaper correspondents, and whatever
emanates from their pens is always read with in?
terest. Wo cheerfully welcome their effusions,
and trust to hear from them often.
Where arc others who have promised to indite
something for our readers ? There is space for all,
and. we await anxiously the fulfillment of your
promise. Among those who have thus promised,
we are pleased to number several of the gentle
sex; and we take this occasion to say, that none
will be more heartily welcomed or appreciated,
and we are sure none will Ljttcr grace our columns.

Further Insrnrection Movements.
On our fourth page this week will be found an
account of insurrectionary excitements in several
^Southern States* in addition to later neraJronvthe
State of Texas. There seems to bo unusual vigi?
lance elsewhere, and it may not out of place that
we utter a word of timely precaution to our citi?
zens. We anticipate nothing of tht aort, neither
have we any grounds for suspicion; but if other
communities, hitherto in the enjoyment of peace
and quiet, have been lately disturbed, does it not
argue that we are equally liable to the torch of the
incendiary, incited to his work by abolition emissa?
ries ? At any rate, an increased vigilance on our
part will do no harm, and may perhaps avert diffi?
culties similar to these in other communities. In
these troublous times, we cannot be too careful of
the interests all have at stake.

Hew Cotton Gin.
Mr. John Wilson of this place, has completed a
Gin suited to the picking of the Sea Island or long
staple cotton. A speedy process of ginning this
cotton has been a desideratum by the growers of
it, and has prevented its cultivation to any consid?
erable extent. Those in our community most com?
petent to judg?, pronounce Mr. Wilson's Gin far
preferable to any now in use. Some of the most
ingenious minds in Yankeedom have labored to in
invent that which Mr. Wilson's genius has ac?
complished. However much our country may be
reproached for its want of scientific and mechani?
cal knowledge, it should be a reason for exultation
that we have one man among us who is pre-emi?
nently entitled to the distinction of a scientific
mechanic.
It is much to be regretted that wo have not
ifltay more such men in our country. It is not
for a wont of native genius that she has them not,
but for a want of encouragement to persons en?
gage I in mechanical pursuits. The workmen who
nil tiiis world with comfort, power and beauty, arc
not honored and appreciated as they should be.
The time has come when the full perception of
this truth should impress society with a new form
of economic polity. Mechanical pursuits should re?
ceive an impulse that will drive them intc the as?
cendant in the distribution of personal vocations,
then the prejudice that has hitherto fostered the
pride of professional pre-eminence will cease to
exist. The triumphs of the bar and the medical
theatre ht?ve won many votaries to the professions;
but we kr.ow of no triumph of genius gathered in
these fields that lay as high claims to usefulness
and dignity as those achieved in the mechanical
art. The highest glories of jurisprudence and
physio cliallenge no renown above the glories of
the steam engine, the cotton mill and the tele?
graph.
Whilst society recognizes these opinions, a cur
responding duty presses upon the mechanical por?
tion-of tha community. The first demnnd is cul?
tivation. They should thoroughly ground them?
selves in the principles of mechanics. They
should study natural science, and should not only
be able to perform the work of the artisan, but to
explain and apply the principles that govern in
mechanics. We want tiie men whe can convert
the secret forces of nature into the working forces
of practical mechanism, and with these subdue
want, ignorance and vice.
A Camden Architect.?We are pleased fa-learn
that our enterprising young friend and fellow-citi?
zen, Mr. A. Y. Lee, Architect, ha?; received a thir?
teen thousand dollar contract in Columbia?the
extension of Trinity Church?and will soon enter
upon the work. This is a tangible proof of the
appreciation in which Mr. Leo is held abroad.?

The Palmetto Riflemen.?According to notice
given through tho village papers last week, this
corps was regularly organized on Saturday last by
the election of officers. The following gentlemen
were chosen?the two first named by acclamation,
in consequence of their active exertions to briag
about the organization of the Company :
Captain?JAMES H. WHITNER.
First Lieutenant?W. W. HUMPHREYS.
Second Lieutenant?Jous Peter Brown.
Third Lieutenant?C. E. E.vni.E.
Surgeon?H. C. POOLEY, M. D.
Thus officereds there can be no doubt as to che
success and permanent establishment of a corps of
citizen soldiery excelled by none. The uniforms,
it is understood, will be ordered at once.
By an order from the Captain, in another place,
members are required to assemble on next Satur?
day for drill. It is desirable that every Rifleman
should be in attendance. The commanding officer
will at that time appoint the non-commissioned of?
ficers, which appointments are to be confirmed by
tho Company.
The Revivals Again*.?The meetings in prog?
ress for the last several weeks in our place have
continued up to this time, with increased success.
Since our last, upwards of thirty have connected
themselves with the Baptist Church, and several
with the Methodist and Presbyterian Churcho?.?
Altogether, about one hundred persons have joined
the people of God in less than four weeks. What
n blessed outpouring of the Holy Spirit!
The meeting at the Baptist Church will continue
during the present week, we believe.
Temperance Lecture.?Prof. J. H. Carlisle,
of Wofford College, will deliver ft Temperance Lec?
ture in the Court House this evening, at 8 o'clock.
The public will receive a rare treat in hearing the
Lecture from Prof. C, as he is regarded one of the
first men of his age in the State.
Municipal Election.?The following gentlemen
were, on yesterday, elected Intendant und Wardens
of the town of Anderson, for the ensuing year :
Intendant.
Ge*. SAM'L. M. WILKES.
Wardens.?C. C. Langston, S. Bleckley, Dr. P.
A. Wilhite, E. W. Brown.
Episcopal Chcrch.?We observe that the neat
and tasty edifice which has been in course of con?
struction for our Episcopal friends for the last few
months, is fast approaching completion. It will be
quite an addition to that part of town, which bids
fair to surpass any other, in point of beauty, taste
and eleganee. The Church will probably be dedi?
cated within a month or so.
Correspondence of the Intelligencer.
Cumminc, Ga., Sept. 3, 1M0.
Dear F.: As we arc toto ca-lo in politics, and as
a political controversy between us might not oe in?
teresting to your readers, 1 forbear prosecuting
my defence of Judge Douglas through your col?
umns, and therefore will devote tIiis article to a
more congenial theme?the theme of
HOPE.
Hope! Heaven born! upon thy pinions wc soar
with electric speed, to hover well pleased around
the throne of GotU Thou art the Christian's an?
chor, his cable?his ladder which reaches unto
Heaven, thereby giving him an opportunity to
foretaste tho joys and felicities in waiting for the
finally faithful.
Hope?it opens to the enraptured gaze the glori?
ous magnificence of Heaven, and raises the veil
which ordinarily screens the holy of holies from
view, and priest-like, steps unawed, unbcwildc-red
and unbedazzlcd by the Shekinah which illumi?
nates the sanctum of the Godhead. It is a twink
lingly bright, eflfulgcnt star which as unerringly
indicates a haven of eternal rest, as did the star in
the East, indicate to the wise men that in" the
pln.ee overwhich it wrts hovering, there the Babe of
the world could be found. Assured by hope, the
Christian struggles on in his warfare with a tempt?
ing and unfriendly world, patiently enduring nil
things, for that he knows ere long he will triumph
over nil opposition, and realize the brightest
of the bright visions that open to his mental view.
Hope also Hcttcs the warrior's arm, and leads
him on to deeds of valor, glory and renown. It
was this which lighted the heroes of 70 :in the
darkest days of the revolution, while they were
struggling for the independence we now enjoy.
In those days, so trying to the souls of men, hope
invigorated every truly loyal colonist's arm, and
surrounded him- with a halo of glory unequnled by
any that ever encircled a kingly brow.
It was under the soul-inspiring influence of this
heavern-born principle that the illustrious Henry
was enabled to prophesy correctly that tho next
breeze from the North would bring to Virginians
the clash of resounding arms, and to exclaim with
a moral intrepidity truly sublime, "Give me liber?
ty or give me death."
The same principle inspired the mind and the
pen of Jefferson while writing tho great truths,
immortal as immortality itself, contained' in the
Declaration of Independence.
Inspired by this principle, the sage compeers of
tho Continental Congross sat in council, devising
means for the prosecution of the revolutionary
war.
Hope gave us our count?y by inspiring Colum?
bus?it gave us freedom from tyranny by nerving
the arms and hearts of our ancestors?it gave us
our Constitution, and the free institutions under
which we live?all of which have been transmitted
to us with the solemn injunction that they are
ours to enjoy and maintain, r.ud to transmit unim?
paired to future generations. Will we do it? In
the present crisis, how can we ? I answer by
looking on the bright side which hope always pre?
sents, and if the dark sido should turn up, by
trying to make that bright also. This we should
do in religion, morals and politics, as well as in
every relation or condition of life. We should try
to make all things bright by hope, and if we can?
not, then we should still hope for the best, and ev?
er be prepared for the worst. SYDNEY.

Around thy snowy neck than mine,

While thou didsl feed no rival flame,
Nor Lydia next to Ghloe came;
0 then thy Lydia's echoing namtf
Excelled e'en Ilia's Roman fame.

Skilled in soft lyre and softer lays;
My forfeit life I'll freely give,
So she my belter life may live.

The son of Ornytus inspires
My burning breast witli mutual firc?;
I'll face ten several deaths with joy
So fate but spare Thurian boy.
HORACE.
What if our ancient love awoke,
And bound us with its golden yoke;
If auburn Chloa I resign,
And Lydia once again be mine ?

Though brighter than a star is he,
Though rougher than the Adrian sea,
And fickle as light cork, yet I
With thee would live?with thee would die.

The Lamar System of English Grammar.
No. 2.
Messrs. Editors : It has been shown in a pre?
vious article that Mr. Lamar has used his disserting
knife upon the Verb, bisecting it at the auxiliary
junction, transforming^thc auxiliary into a princi?
pal Verb, and the principal into a perfect partici?
ple?reducing the number of Tenses to three, and
destroying the passkc^Vcrh entirely.
Now, sirs, we lay it down as an incontrovertible
proposition, and challenge any or all of the advo?
cates of Mr. Lamar's System of Grammar, or
Mr. Iiatnar Imip.koIC, or him and]"all' combtored, to
show to the contrary?that the English Verb has
six Tenses, because it has six different forms by
which "an action, state or being" may be affirmed
of its subject, each indicating different Times, as
it relates to the subject and time of the speaker;
that these different inflections, modifications or
variations of the Verb arc caused by the different
relations that the Time of the Verb bears to the
Time of the speaker : and 6'hat these dTffercnt va?
riations arc called the Tente? of the Verb, signify?
ing in Grammar the Times of the Verb* not that
the term Tense literally means Time, but because
it is derived from tmdo, the literal signification of
which is, to ?reich, extend or vary. Hence, the
stretching, extending or variation of the Verb to
show its different Times.
We will, in the next place, give the reader one
of Mr. Lamar's model sentences, " He uas Writ?
ten."
"Parsing.?Jle is a Pronoun of the third per?
son singular number masculine gender, nmf suIn
ject of has ; I/us is a Verb in the present tense,
third person singular number, ::r..i agrees with he:
Written is a perfect participle and refers to he."
Now is not (his supremely ridiculous?an out?
rage upon common sense?an insult otfar?tlto the
intelligence of the age?to attempt to thrust such
nonsensical sniff as this'down the throats of the
people, and then, to cap the climax, have the bra?
zen, unheard of effrontery to call it Grammar?
yea. philosophical Grammar, "founded upon reason
and common scosOy'' when every one can sccat one
single, indirect glance that it is a perfect, burlesque
upon ' common sense," and founded upon the very
quintessence of nonsense !
Now we take the position that it is a Grammati?
cal impossibility, in at least a four-fold sense, for
"written" in this sentence to be a participle.
In the first place, Mr. Lamar's own definition of
the Verb is proof of the highest possible order,
that "written" in this sentence should not be
parsed or "disposed of" as a participle, for his
definition of the Verb is in these words: "A
Verb is a word that expresses the action, state or
being of the wbject ;" and cannot every one sec,
who has discriminative qualities sufficient to dis?
tinguish "Lamar's Practical Grammar" from
Morse's Electric Telegraph, that it is "written,"
and not "has," "that expresses the action of the
subject," in this, his model sentence; and that
"written" should be parsed as a Verb, because it
performs the very identical office that Mr. Lamar
tells us the Verb performs. It is an impossibility
in the second place, bscauso this form of the Verb,
when used as a participle, always has a passive
signification, aud consequently cannot possibly be
used in an active Sense as "written" is, iu this sen?
tence. It is an impossibility in the third place,
because it obliterates tStf line of demarcation be?
tween the Verb and-Participle, making the parti?
cipial existence of this form of the Verb depend
entirely upon form, when in reality it is not the
form that infuses into it its participial existence,
but the manner in which it is expressed of its sub?
ject. Whenever this form of the Verb is affirmed
or predicated of i's subject, so as to constitute a
complete proposition, it is then a Verb, and can?
not possibly be any other part of speech, because
it does the very thing that, the whole grammatical
world, and Mr. Lamar besides, informs us th<?
Verb does; but on the contrary, whenever this
form of the Verb is assumed of its subject, so as
not to constitute a complete proposition, it is then
a participle, and cannot possibly be any other
part of speech, because it performs the very iden?
tical office that the whole Grammatical world, and
Mr. Lamar besides, tells us the Participle per?
forms. It is an impossibility in the fourth and
last place, because when this form of the Verb as?
sumes its participial office, it has a passive signifi?
cation, aud its Time is always that of the principal
Verb in the sentence; and hence, as Mr. Lamar
makes "has" in this sentence the principal Verb,
and in the present tense AbocJufe, it follows as
clearly and unequivocally, according to the Lamar
system, as that two and two make four, that his
combination, or Tense of the Verb, does not mean
what those who use the English language as a ve?
hicle for thought, imagine it does, and is only after
all a superfluous tautological expression, which,
when pruned of its redundancy, is only equivalent
to "I write."
We will in our next (jive Mr. Lamar's Rules,
which he has given to enable the student to know
when to use his three discarded Tenses, showing
their absurdity and impracticability.

Privileges of Labor.
The first duly imposed on man in relation to so?
ciety is labor?it duty, the origin and benefit of
which arc easily discovered. Man is sent into the
world naked, unprotected and unprovided for. He
does not, like <hc brutes, find his skin clothed
with a sufficient covering, but must provide gar?
ments for himself. He does not, like the ox, find
his nourishment under his feet, but must hunt or
cultivate the ground. To capacitate him for the
performance of these necessary duties, he has re?
ceived a body fitted for labor, and a mind calcula?
ted to direct his exertions, while the external
world has been created with the wisest adaptation
to his constitution, having the material for every
necessary work ami elegaucy he can imagine, or
desire, or create by labor.
No man has a right to live that docs not earn
his living. The .Scripture tells us "if ye work not
neither shall ye eat." No class is exempted, and
for this is man's body alone suited ; he cannot dc- :
fy the doom without a heavy punishment. If he
need not earn his bread himself, he Mil?! substi?
tute laborious- pleasures: he must work harder
than a ploughman under the name of bunting, or
he must walk up and down the same street, play j
at billiards, bowling or cards. If he does none of
things, or similar, he must grow fat. have indiges?
tion aud consult doctors, with the vain hope of
hauling Nature with impunity for some time long?
er ; and after a few years of uneasy feelings, it is
found that his heart is diseased, his liver dried up ;
he becomes dropsical, loses the use of one half of
his body, or become melancholy and suspicious of
his best friends, or by some such winding up he
arrives at the last scene that ends his common?
place, eventless history.
No product of the field yr the sea. however aided

(BOOTH'S PATENT.)
THE subscribers call the attention of the public
to the above Sewing Machines. These machines
are reliable, simple, cheap and durable, and well
adapted to sewing different kinds of cloth?from
the finest fabric to the coarsest plantation goods.
It is wonderful the amount of labor they save.
Ladies who have tried them, are completely fasci?
nated with the rapidity and neatness with which
their work is done. These Machines, now offered
to the pubUc of Andcr.-on and Bickens Districts
by the undersigned, through t-?eir regular agent,
Mr. John Hammond, are thought to be superior to
anything of the kind yet offered .in this market,
when you take into account ihn price, the simplicity
of their machinery, and the case of learning to
sew on them. The learning to sew is often difii
cult, but on ihese machines it is thought to be less
so than on any machine the subscribers have seen.
Price of Machine, $00.00; Hemmer, $5.00.
The Machine may be taken either with or without
i the Hemmer, as the purchaser may desire.
For further particulars apply to the subscribers,
or agen*, at Anderson C. IL, S. C.
