The Independent Fanner. '^Let sailors sing of the windy deep, Let soldiers praise their armor, But in my heart this toast I'll keep, The Independent Farmer; When ?rst the rose in robe of green, Unfolds'lt^-vrT^cson lining, And 'round his^ fly.8? Dreh is seen The konoy-suckfets-i .ing, When hanks of bloom their sweetness yield, To bees that gather honey, He drives his team across the field Where skies are soft and balmy. Tho blackbird clucks behind his plough, The quail pipes loud and clearly, Yon orchard hide3 behind its bough The home he loves so dearly; The gray old barn, whose doors unfold His ample store in measure, More rich of heaps than hoarded gold, A precious, blessed treasure; But yonder in their porch there stands His wife, the lovely charmer, Tho sweetest rose on all the lands? The Independent Farmer. To him tho Spring comes dancingly, To him the Summer blushes, The Autumn smiles with mellow ray, He sleeps, old Winter hushes ; He cares not how the world may move, No doubts nor fears confound him; His little fiocks are linked in love, And household angols round him ; He trusts in God, and loves his wife. Nor griefs nor ills may harm her : He's nature's nobleman in life? . The Independent Farmer. Sttfos of ibt Mttli Response of South Carolina to the Virginia Legislature. The following resolutions were passed by the Legislature of this State in rjesponso to the propo? sition made by Virginia, through her Legislature, to hold a Convention at Washington. Mark the firm, dignified and respectful tone of these resolu? tions?they speak truly the sentiment of our peo? ple, and leave no hope to those who favor the mis? erable, degrading policy of re-construction: Resolved, unanimously, That the Gener? al Assembly of South Carolina tenders to the Legislature ofVirginia their acknowl? edgments of tho friendiy motives which have inspired the mission entrusted <0 'the Hon. Judge Robertson, her rommis sioner. Resolved, umnimoudyJ&&*>the candor which is due to the l^g continued sym pn?ry'and re*j?ccf which has subsisted oetween Virginia and South Carolina in? duces tho General Assembly to declare, with frankness, that they do not deem it advisable to initiate negotiations when they have no desire or intention to pro? mote the ultimate object in view; that object is declared in the resolution of the Legislature of Virginia to be the procure ment of amendments, or new guarantees, to the Constitution of the United States. Resolved,unanimously, That the separa? tion of the State of South Carolina from the Federal Union is final, and she has no further interest in the Constitution of the United States, ahd that tho only appro? priate negotiations between her and the ? Federal Government are as to their mu? tual relations as foreign States. Resolved, unanimously, That this Gen? eral Assembly further owes it to her " friendly relations with the State of Vir? ginia, to declare that they have no confi? dence in the Federal Government of the United States; that the most solemn pledges of that Government have been disregarded; that under pretence of pre? serving property, hostile troops have been attempted to bo introduced into one of the forfresses of this State, concealed in the hold of a vessel of commerce, with a view to subjugate the people of this State; and that even since the authori? ties at "Washington have been informed of the present mediation of Virginia, a ves? sel of war has been sent to the South with troops, and munitions of war concentra? ted on tho soil of Virginia. Resolved, unanimously, That in these circumstances, this General Assembly, with renewed assurances of their cordial respect and esteem for the pcoplo of Vir? ginia, and of high consideration for the Commissioner whom they havo sent, de? cline entering into the proposed negotia? tions. -o A Final Dissolution.?If anything were necessary to dissipate the delusion that tho Union is finally dissolved, the dispassionate, dignified and decided reply of South Carolina to tho Virginia propo? sition must settle all dispute. Indeed, we cannot imagine how any one could sup? pose South Carolina, or any of the other of the Gulf States, are cn^ao-cd in*' such child's play and self-stultification as going out of the Union and coming back, like willful boys leaving homo in a pet, and returning ?s soon as the transient ill hu? mor has subsided. After such grave and deliberate measures as they havo taken, they have probably no disposition to be? come the lauirhinjr-stock of the whole world.?Richmond Dispatch. Governor "Moore to the President.? Gov. Moore, of Louisiana, has written to President Buchanan, announcing that his forces have captured the federal forts in Louisiana. His motive for the capture, he says, was to avoid, not provoke hostil? ities, as he was aware that the forts were soon to be reinforced, and if they were allowed, collision would be inevitable. The Forts, he says, will be held by his or? der, subject to the control of the State Convention. He has had a complete in? ventory made of the forts and all the federal property. From {lie Toronto Leader. lord Palmerston on Secession. In the course of a speech, delivered at Southampton, Lord Palmerston referred to the difficulties between the Northern and Southern sections of the United Stats, and expressed a fear that the Union would bi dissolved. His Lordship added a hop<; that whether the Union were dis? solved or maintained, amicable lclalions would be established; and that' there would be no war between brothers. From the curfness of the telegraphic phraseolo? gy, it is not possible to say whether Lord Palmerston intended to refer to the rela? tions of England with the American Con? federations, or onlj* to the relations be? tween the two ConfedeiVicics into which the United States are rapidly forming themselves. Be this as it ma}*, tho inten? tion of England to acknowledge the inde? pendence of the Southern Confederacy as soon as it is formed, no longer admita of question. This announcement wo arc in a position to make in the most positive terms; and whoever will take the trouble to watch the course of evnnts, will find that we arc correct. The policy of Eng? land has long been to acknowledge all de facto Governments, and that policy will not be departed from in the present case. From France a similar procedure may safely be expected; and as soon as the Southern Confederation has formed a Provisional Government,it will be treated by the two lending powers of Europe as entitled to all the privileges of a sovereign State. The greatest inconvenience would arise from the adoption of any other poli? cy. England having no other control over the domestic politics of other na? tions, can aekiiuwlcdge whatever form of government they choose to sot up.^^To -refuse to do so. would involve luv*111 end? less Avars and ruinous commercial embar rassmcnts. If the opinions oi*& English statesman are, in this insty^ee, destined to produce an influence ^*01' *nc destinies of the Uni? ted Sta?*Vtheir tendency will be to pro vwii civil war between the two sections. ?a war between brothers, euch as Lord Palmerston here deprecates, is the bitter? est of all wars?it would sow t he seeds of animosity, which would bear bitter fruit for generations to cone. The wise and statesmanlike policy was first to attempt a reconciliation; but if all efforts in this direction are to be held to fail, coercion or civil war ought not to be thought of. The "North is numerically stronger, and per? haps wealthier than the South; and there is little reason to doubt that it could make a conquest of the seceding section. But that it- could not hold tho Southern as conquered States, is just as certain. Secession ma}* not be a constitutional right; but, practically, if nearly half the States of the Union insist upon it, there arcyio means of preventing its consum? mation. -<?> Give xjs ouu Due.?While wo do not claim that Edgeficld is the Banner Dis? trict in volunteering for the defence of the State, we arc yet disposed to ask cer? tain papers to {please) not ignore us in this business. The district having been honored in the choice of a Governor, is one reason why it is thought desirable overbore that the truth of Edgefiold's action should not be overlooked. May wo not then ask our brethren of the press to notice what follows : Edgeficld has three full companies in Colonel Gregg's regiment. Fdgeficld has six more full companies raised by volunteering from her battal? ions under the Military bill. Edgeficld has one IJiflc Corps ready under said Bill Edgeficld has one Corps of Cavalry ac? cepted by the State. And Edgeficld has three other volun? teer Cavalry Corps and several compa? nies of infantry ready and officered for the service. This makes about eight hundred and fifty men already received when wanted. If this be a little ahead of tho foremost, we can't help it.?Edgefield Advertiser. -* "Death of a Prominent Citizen.?It is with heart-felt pain that wo record the death of George W. Landrum, Esq., one of our most useful and most prized citi? zens. The melancholy event: occurred suddenly on Saturday last, and presents another solemn and deeply impressive il? lustration of the truth, that " in the midst ol life we are in death." Mr. Landrum was in full practise at the Edgeficld Bar. and possessed qualities of head and heart which gave him high posi? tion. He had troops of friends warmly attached to him as a lawyer and as a man. He was a Christian gentleman, which is the highest of all praise, and, as such, commanded the respect and admiration of all who met him. Mr. Landrum was a great favorite with the people of Edgeficld District. He had represented them in tho Legislature of the State, and, but for his retiring disposi? tion, might have been prominent in politi? cal life. He Avas also a man of letters, and had been urged to accept a scat in the Faculty of the Furman University. Our Avhole coniinunitj* deplores his la? mented death; and their warmest sym? pathies floAV. out towards his bereaved and inconsolable family.
