Pausa and Think. , Oh! how many souls are sorrowing In the suniit world, to-day, Because Sin, heaven's livery borrowing, Leadeth trusting souls astray ; Because men, aU thoughtless rushing, Dance along on ruin's brink, And the voice of conscience hushing, Will not for a moment think! 'Tis the lack of thought that bringetli Man to where there's no relief; '4^'Tis the lack of thought that wringeth All his inner self with grief. Would he give a moment's thinking Ere his every step is made, He would not from light be shrinking, Groping on in Error's shade! Think, immortal.' thou art treading On a path laid thick with snares, Where a thousand fiends are spreading Nets to catch thee unawares. Pause and think! the next step taken May be that which leads to dea/h: Bouse thee ! let thy conscience waken ; List lo, heed the word it snithI Think, ere thou consent to squander Aught of time in sinful mirth ; Think, ere thou consent to wander, Disregarding heaven-winged truth. When the wine in beauty shineth, When the tempter bids thee drink, Ere to touch thy hand inclineth, . Be thou cautious?pause and think! Think, whatever act thou doest: Think, whatever word is spoke; Else the heart of friends the trues/, May be, by thee, thoughtless broke. How much grief had been prevented If man ne'er had sought to shrink From the right :?to nought consented Until he had paused to think! The President's Message. The only part of the President's Mes? sage, in vriueh South Carolina is intorcs tedj, is that bearing on the secession of the State. His positions are anomalous. He denies the right of a State to secede from the Union; yet, he denies, also, that ci? ther the Executive or Congress has a right to coerce her back into the Union in case she seccdos. "The Executive has no authority to decide what shall be the relations between tho Federal Govern? ment and South Carolina," should she se? cede from tho Union; nor has Congress any power to coerce her. "The Union rests on public opinion," and "tho sword was not placed in their hand (Congross) to preservo it by force." If, thcrofore, Congress was to attempt to re-enact the Force Bill, passed in 1833, under the re? commendations of General Jackson, ho would bo compelled to veto it. The se? cession of a Stato fronrthe Union, ho ar? gues, was an event not contemplated by the Constitution of tho United States, and, therefore, not provided for by that instrument. He spcak^of^tho fort"Jn _^__ojirJ^Vi^lPS^^ to the United States." " No attempt to oxpcl tho United States from their property has been made ;" but should it bo made, "the officer in command of tho forts has re? ceived orders to act strictly on the defen? sive." "We infer, thereforo, from these posi? tions, that the military power of the Uni? ted States will not bo used by Mr. Buch? anan to coerce South Carolina, after she goes out of tho Union. This bugbear is, therefore, at an end. It is due to the President and ourselves, to<eorreet an error we committod with respect to him. Wo said, in a former ed? itorial, that the President had voted for the Force Bill. The President, when that Act passed, was our Ambassador in Eussia. He, therefore, did not vote for this Bill. Hence, the views he presents in his Message, arc in no way incompati? ble with any previous act of his political life. In reading the last annual Message of a President of tho United States to Congress, we cannot forbear the expres? sion of our sympathy with him, as the head of a great Government dissolving under his administration. Causes beyond his control, have driven the ship of State amidst tho breakers, whieh aro now shaking her to pieces. We sincerely be? lieve that he has earnestly and truly done his best to avert the catastrophe of a dissolution of the Union. Ho has fail? ed, where we believe no man could have succeeded. All he can do now, as a mag? istrate and a citizen, is to make the disso? lution of the Union peaceable.?Charles? ton Mercury. -,?# Georgia.?A' merchant of Charleston who has just been through Upper Geor? gia, and who is himself a native Georgian, thus writes of the onward tendency of the cause of secession : Tho people are aread of the politi-. cians; they have been waiting to seo which way the current would go. The tido is upward and onward; and I con? fidently believe Georgia will go like a prairie on fire. The people here say let South Carolina do nothing to bring them in contact with the present Government. Act cool, firm and deliberate. And, again, of the proposition of Ste? phens for one last demand to be addressed to the Northern States, hear tho clarion notes of tho Columbus Times : All talk about new planks in tho Geor? gia Platform to meet the present crisis is ridiculous. It is a postponement of tho whole question ; a sliding scale to down? right submission. -?. In Bridgeport, Conn., upwards of 1,000 employees aro out of work, and in New Haven, 2'000. From Washington. Washington, December 4.?The Sen ate mot at noon. The President's Message was read. Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, mov? ed that it be printed, although, he said, he regarded it as unsatisfactory, in the present condition of things. A number of the Southern States would certainly follow South Carolina within sixty days. He declared that the wisest men now counselled an equal division of the Gov? ernment property, after the payment of the public debts. The Senate, after some further desul l o? ry discussion, adjourned. In the House, a long debate in refer? ence to the Message sprang up. A resolution, offered by Hon. A. ~R. Boteler, of Virginia, was passed, referring that portion of the Mcssago relating to secession to a special committee of one from,each State; and the whole Message was also,referred to the Committee of the "Whole on the state of the Union. Before tho result of the vote was an? nounced. Messrs. Singleton, of Mississip? pi; Jones, of Georgia; Hawkins, of Flor? ida , Clopton and Pugh, of Alabama ; and Gartrell, of Georgia, refused to vote, for the reason that their States had respec? tively called a Convention to settle the questions involved. Hon. W. Porcher Miles said that his State was now out of the Union, except the mere form, and that the South Caro? lina delegation would not, therefore, vote. Thirty-eight votes were cast against Botcler's resolution?all Abolitionists. Tho report of the Secretary of War re? commends no increase of the army. All hope of the repeal of the obnoxious laws by tlie Northern Legislatures, is now gone. Since the adjournment general gloom prevails in Congressional and political cir? cles. The conservatives generally are very desponding, and unhesitatingly prophesy a genera', dissolution as not very distant. "Washington, Docember 4.?The Pres? ident's Message is thought to be the ablest Mr. Buchanan ever sent in, but it satisfies neither the North or the South? it blows hot and cold?opposes the right of secession, but advocates anything but coercion. Mr. Boteler's committee of one from each State, to consider the Mcs? sago, will be packed by Speaker Penning? ton, and decided Southern sentiment will have no one to represent it. Its conclu? sions will be of no value. The signs ap? parent arc more and more for disunion. New York is alive to the crisis, but the rural districts of the North think it all flummery, and refuse to yjchj, an im h. Mr. Cobb's resignation to-morrow will bo accompanied by an address opposing the President's views concerning scces ion. Judge Black, at present Attorney Gen? eral, will be nominated for the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court, caus? ed by the death of Judge Daniel. Some of the New York members count their city to be free like Hamburg. They want to got rid of New England at any price. The rich bankers here are in great distress. The weather is clear and cold. Washington, December 5.?There was an exciting scene in the Senate to-day. We had a war speech from that noted Abolitionist Hale. He waked up the Senators Wigfall, Brown and Ivcrson, who responded in patriotic and noble terms. Tho speech of Senator Iversoi* created a great sensation. He declared that five States at least would go out of the Un? ion, even if all the Personal Liberty bills were repealed. It matters not what Con? gress might ?fter or do. Senator Hale said that, if secession was persisted in. war was inevitable. Senator Ivcrson doubted that there would be any war. but if it should come to that, ho would welcome the invaders with blood}; hands and hospitable graves. Senators Brown and Davis said the}' believed there would be a peaceable separation. The House passed the Homestead bill by 65 majority. The Pension and West Point Appropriation bills were passed viva voce. In the Committee of the Whole the -Message was referred to the appropriate Committees, and the Com? mittee adjourned. In the Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Phelps, of Missou? ri, moved that $10.000,000 in treasury notes be issued to relievo the embarrass? ments of the Government. The Coinmit J tec on Mr. Boteler's resolution of ouc from each State will be appointed on Monday, in order to allow the Speaker time to make the best possible selection. The IIouso Judiciary Committee had new evidence to-day in relation to the Watrous impeachment case. The treasury suspended payment to? day. A delay of the treasury note bill is expected. Washington, Dcc.G.-To-day the Speak? er's warrants for the pay of the Members of the House of Representatives were re? fused at the Treasury Department, ow? ing to tho want of funds. The warrants will be formally protested to-morrow. About ?200,000 only lias been paid to the Members since the commencement of the present session. The proceedings of Congress show a stern resolution on the part of the South not. to yield to any proposed compromise. The antagonism to the North is daily in? creasing. It is improbable that any pub lie business of importance will be transact? ed till the all-absorbing question of com? promise or secession is settled. "Washington, Dec. 6.?The Committee of Thirty-three, to take into consideration that portion of tho President's Message having reference to the political distur? bances of the country, have appointed Mr. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio. Chairman. Messrs. Boyce, of South Carolina, and Hawkins, of Florida, declined serving on the Committee amid much excitement. Mr. John Cochranc, of New York, fol? lowed in a strong Union speech, and was loudly cheered from the galleries. Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina, rose to decline pending the vote on a motion for adjounment. The vote was taken, and the Republicans carried it. The House adjourned to Monday. The Senate also adjourned to Monday. Washington, Dec. 6?7.30 p. M.?The House Committee is considered a dead fail? ure. Messrs. Boyce. Davis, Winslow and Taylor all declare they will not serve. Two or three leading Republican Sena? tors will speak in a few days. They arc expected to follow the line of argument pursued by Hale in bis speech, showing that peaceable secession is impossible. The South Carolina members arc unani? mous in their desire to prevent a prema? ture collision with the General Covcrn mcnt. It is probable that all the Southern members will refuse to serve on the Com mitte of Thirty-three, of which Corwin is Chairman. Washington, Dec. G. 10.35 p. m.?The House Finance Committee has resolved on Monday to report a new Loan Bill of 810,000,000; to meet the wants of the Gov? ernment. This measure will relievo the immediate necessities of the Treasury. Mr. Bon ham, of South Carolina, will re? sign from tho Military Committee. The Chairman of the Committee asked him to? day to attend a metting to consider the defences of Fort Moultrie, when Mr. Bon ham inlormcd him that he would withdraw from the Committee, Hon. A. If. Stephens writes here that Georgia will inevitably secede. Some of the New York members count their city to be free like Hamburg. They w'ant (o gel rid of New England at any price. In respect to what is said by the Presi? dent about ihc forts near Charleston, it may bo added, that the Secretary of War has declared that he intends to deliver over all the forts intact to his successor. Washington, December 4.?Col. An? derson, in command of Fort Monltric, has made a demand upon the War lWi:>-?. mcnt for additional troops and munitions of war. lie states that the force now there is inadequate for emergencies which might arise in case the people or a mob should attempt to take it. The President and Secretary of War are understood to be favorable to complying with the de? mand. Other members of tho Cabinet differ as to the propriety of sending an in? crease of force, lest it might exasperate the South and lead to trouble. It has not yet been determined what course the ad? ministration will pursue in this matter. -O The Secession Question in Califor? nia.?Advices from San Francisco to the 17th of November, state that the people of California were waiting with dee]) anx? iety for the Eastern news showing the disposition of the Southern States on the dissolution question. After hearing of Lincoln's election, all political animositios greatly moderated, the Republicans as well as the Democrats seeming to be fearful of serious trouble from (he present political condition of (he coin dry. The Republican illumination in San Francisco in honor of Lincoln's election was a complete failure. Not fifty houses .in the city responded to the call of the Republican State Central Committee* to join in a general illumination. The cause of it was that the Republicans generally were not in an exultant mood. . The Sacramento Standard, organ of the Brcckinridge Democracy, assumes that the dissolution of the Union is inevitable, and urges California and Oregon to seri? ously consider the question of organizing a separate Republic on the Pacific coast. The idea seems to obtain little sympathy, and is denounced by a large portion of the press. The McKknna Will Cask.?We learn that the Mclvenna will case, which for the past year has strongly exorcised the peo? ple of Lancaster, has been compromised. Mrs. Mclvenna, the widow, will receive one-fourth'of the estate; and the remani? ng three-fourths will be divided equally between the Church and Mrs. Mittag. The entire estate will be worth, after the expenses of this litigation have been paid, about two hundred thousand dollars. The sale will take place, we learn, in Februa? ry, provided the "crisis" will permit. Mrs. Mittag's counsel, Messrs. G. W. Williams and Allison, J. Bolton Smith, Win. A. Moore, and John Williams, re? ceive a foe of twenty thousand dollars. In every point of view, we think the compromise fair to all parties. It will certainly be a relief to Lancaster.? York- j ville Enquirer. -? The Georgia Senate has rejected a bill to call a Southern Convention. From Mississippi.-^-Ncw Orleans, De? cember 3.?The Mississippi Legislature adjurned on the 30th alt. They passed unanimously the Convention bill; also, resolutions in favor of secession, and au? thorizing the Governor to appoint Com? missioners to co-operate with the slave holding States. The stay law and non-importation act has been defeated. The elections for the Convention are to be held on the 20th. and the meeting of the Convention takes place on the 7th of January. The Hon. L. Q. C. Lacmar made a great secession speech, advocating separate State action, and the simultaneous adop? tion by the State of the Federal Constitu? tion. He favored the formation of a Con? gress of the present delegates from the Gulf States, and the appointment of Elec? tors of a President for the Southern.Con? federacy. -?? The Raleigh correspondent of the Char? lotte Bullet in, says: " There has been much excitement here during the evening. Hons. Ash more and Boycc addressed an assemblage at the Yarborough hotel, upon the principal topics of the day?each concluding by ad? vising separate State action. These gen? tlemen arc on their way to Washington city, to consult with their Southern friends beforo resigning their scats.? Each, in speaking of the action of South Carolina, said they had been assured that Georgia, Alabama. Florida, and Mississi? ppi would join in the contest for Southern independence. They seem not to despair of Virginia and 2sorth Carolina. --41 Affairs in Alabama.?Montgomery, Dec. 4.?The disunion movement is spee? dily but' quietly progressing in Alabama. One-half of the counties will scud seces? sion delegates without opposition. In the others the fight will be confined to those who advocate secession with the Cotton States and those who are in favor of separate State action. The latter will be largely in the majority. Despatches from Washington in regard to the position of Mr. Curry, of this State, excited indignation among his friends here. His speech delivered before leav? ing home for Washington was a strong disunion harangue. The Grand Jury of the Federal Courl of this city, before adjourning, presented the Union as a nuisance. -? Second Crop of Corn in Texas.?The ' Galveston Civilian says : The aboriginal festival, known as the grccn-corn dance, may be celebrated scmi-annually in Texas. We have al ? ready noticed the second crop of roasting caTS this scsseii an the Rio Grande. The Advocate mentions the second crop of con: grown this season by Capt. Jas. Scott, oi Victoria county. The crop was planted 1 in August, and is now safe from frost,ma king about forty bushels to the acre, be 1 sides a. line yield of fodder. --+ The Entrance to a Woman's Life.? There is a touching beauty in the radiant , look of a girl just crossing the limits oj youth and commencing her journey through the checkered space of woman hood. It is all dew-sparks and morning glory to her .ardent, buoyant spirit, a> she presses forward exulting in blissful anticipations. But the withering heat ol tho conflict of life creeps on; the dew drops exhale; the garlands of hope, shat? tered and dead, strew the path; and toe often ere noontide, the placid brow and sweet smile are exchanged for the weary look of one longing for the evening rest, the twilight, the night. Virginia Gun Factory.?The Staun ton Vindicator learns that Messrs. J. M. McCue. J. D. Imbodcn, 3L G. Harman. and others, have purchased the large Freight Depot of the Virginia Central Railroad, at that place, for the price of $3,500, with the view of establishing a manufactory of the newly invented re? peating gun, which is now attracting so much attention, and is the invention of Lorenzo Sibcrt, of Augusta county. Foreign Ordkrs for Corn.?Several foreign orders for corn have already ar? rived at this port for new crop, and a number of others are expected in' the next steamer. Several English and Rus? sian ships are now on their way to this port to load with corn, and we confident? ly expect too see an unusual activity in the corn trade in this city during the com? ing winter.?Norfolk Day Booh. --o-? Neat Retort.?An Israelite lady, sit? ting in the same box at an opera with a French physician, and being troubled with ennui, happened to gape. -Excuse me, madam." said the Doctor,l; I am glad you. did not swallow me." " Give yourself no uneasiness," replied the lady. ,; I am a Jewess, and never eat pork." "Let Her Go."?"I was," said the reverend gentleman, <;attending divine service in Norfolk several years ago du ring a season of some excitement."? While the officiating clergyman was in the midst of a most interesting discussion, an old lady among the congregation arose, chipped her hands, and exclaimed, " Mer? ciful Father! if I had one nice feather in my wing of faith I would ny off to glory." The worth}'gentleman thus interrupted, immediately replied, '-Good Lord, stick it in and let her go; she's but a trouble I here." That quieted the old lady. I THE, GLOBE, THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. T PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of THE J_ DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, to remain subscribers, and inform those ?who may desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the lirst Monday of next December, when I shall resume publishing the above-named papers. They have been published so long, that most pub? lic men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless to give a minute account of the kind of matter :hey will contain. THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debates in both branches of Congress as taken down by reporters, cqueal, at least to any corps of short hand-writers in this, or in any other country. A majority of them will each, he able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour, while the av? erage number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty-five columns, they will appear in The Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, "also, the news of the day, together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by pass? ing events. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX will contain a report of all the Debates in Con? gress, revised by the speakers, the .Messages of the President of the" United States, the Annual Reports of the Heads of the Executive Departments, the Laws passed during the sessions, and copious in? dexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, at least 2,001) pages. This is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average num? ber of words it contains. The coming session will, without doubt, be an unusually interesting one. because the dehates will, in .1 great measure, be upon the policy of the Pres? ident elect, and The Globe will be, as it has been fur many years past, the only source from which full debates of Congress can be obtained. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX pass free through the mails of 'he United Suites, as will be seen by reading the following Joint Bcsolution passed by Congress thcGth of Au? gust, 1852: Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of the Laws of Congress and the Debates thereon. With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Congvcss and the debates contributing to the true interpretation thereof, and to make free the communication between the representative and con? stituent bodies: He it Resolved by the Senate and House oj Representatives of the United Stales of America in Congress Assembled, That from and after the present session of Congress, THE CONGRES? SIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX, which con? tain the laws and the debates thereon, shall pass free through the mails so long as the same shall be published by order of Congress: Provided, That nothing herein shall be construed to authorize tlie circulation of tite DAILY GLOBE free of postage. Approved, August G, 1852.

New York City. - Th.e C omservatist, A WEEKLY JOURNAL; DEVOTED to the best interests of the Southern States of the American Union, conservative in Politics and Religion, a disseminator of General Intelligence, and an earnest advocate in the cause of Literature, Art and Agriculture, is published at $2 a year, in advance, Every Tuesday Morning' In. NEW BERRY, S. C, jams d. nance & co., PROPRIETORS, james :d. nance, EDITOR. Newbcrry District being one of the richest Cotton Districts in South Carolina; her people are largo consumers of every kind of merchandize. The CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys a fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The terms for inserting advertisements are certainly as reasonable as those of any other journal in the country, especially when it is desired to advertise by contract. The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con? tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest political faith. With their assistance, the editor I will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable and ever welcome family newspaper and fire-side companion. The political character of the paper is of tho strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the Constitution under which the Confederacy of the American States was formed, has been repeatedly and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation States" have been the only sufferers?that the Union of these States is no longer a policy founded on the principles of right and justice, but-that the bond of Union is "the cohesive power of public plunder"?the proprietors prefer that their journal shall rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than appear an unconditional advocat? of the Union at any price.
