Under the depressing anticipations of radical success in the coming elec? tion for President, many substantial, energetic and industrious citizens of this and other Southern States, we are pained to learn, are making their arrangements to emigrate to thc North, the North-west, the Paoific coast, and some even to foreign countries. Now, this is all wrong, the Richmoud Enquirci' trnthfully remarks, and we would urge those | who entertain such intentions to dis? miss them forthwith. Tho success of radicalism next month, if the radicals do succeed, will undeniably be n stag? gering blow to the hopes of the South, extremely discouraging to the industry of her people, tending to prostrate her interests, and paralyze her enterprises; but even such disas? ters do not necessarily bring in their train tho eternal rain of our fair land. They need not afflict us with incurable ills. Oar lands will still be fertile, our skies will still bc fair, and our labor productive. In a word, our individual efforts may yet suc? ceed in producing valuable material returns, and ought not to bo inter? mitted. Let us not despair, but still hope and still labor, amid the scenes of our quondam prosperity and hap? piness, with a determination never to give up our beloved South as an in? heritance to the despoilcrs of our po? litical rights, or the barbarism of African possession. Even under the heel of radical domination, this will still bo the South, the high character and honor of whose people no earth? ly power can debase. But let no man falter. Never give up the ship. "Truth is mighty and will prevail." Democratic principles ure founded in truth and right, and they will pre? vail. The public mind may have be? come diseased, but the day of deli? verance will come. At every contest we gain, and every struggle gives evidence of returning reason among the people. The Democratic vote is larger to-day than ever before, and .will be larger in November than it is to-day. . ?-o-?-? SOMKTBTNO FOR AsnLKV TO Do. The National Intelligencer, in noticing the defeat of Ashley, says: Now that lie is relieved from his congressional duties, after tho 4th of March next, the best thing for him to do will be to visit his brother radical und old political associate, Mr. Sanford Cono? ver, now confined in a New York penitentiary. The two can tell each other how they respectively cnuie to grief, lament how they should have fared so badly, while Holt, Staunton, and others are flourishing in.wealth, place, and liberty of locomotion, and concoct schemes of elovation and promotion hereafter-a pardon for Conover from Grant, and a mission for Ashley to some country whore long hair is tho fashion. A French journalist, writing short? ly before the last Spanish revolution, sketches Queen Isabella's portrait frankly, without fear or favor. She is thirty-eight, bnt looks older; has Bourbon obesity and premature wrinkles; round face, turned nose, small blue eyes, highly-colored com? plexion, "short, swollen and slightly scaly" hand*, masculine mnnnors und voieo, ?nd drosses richly, but "look* liki a Queen in Sunday finery." FBANGE AND SPAIN.-Mr. Beach writes from Europe to tho New York Sun that tho revolution in Spain was encouraged by Louis Napoleon ns a means of securing the annexation of that country to France, and with the expectation that Portugal would OTentually follow suit. The Paris correspondent of the Washington Clironicle has arrived at a similar con? clusion. This wonld indeed be a magnificent acquisition of territory to mateh that made by Bismarck last year. Tho Empress of France is a native of Spain, and would doubtless rule that country with a gentle baud and in a loving mood. Tue Junta in Madrid, however, are evidently cau? tious, cool, far-seeing men. They may fear such a movement ns the ono indicated. By the way, it is remarkable that the cry of thc reformers in Spain is for local government-government by towns, cities and provinces-the ruling of Castile by Castile, and of Leo;., by Leon-in other words, for what corresponds to our States' rights. There is to be a head, but each province is to regulate its own affairs as far as possible. This is tho only kind of free govex*urr,en< |)ossi ble in any country having a large territory and a dense population. It is not indispensible, however, in such a country as Spain, which might possibly secure its liberties without it, ?-???-? REPUBLICAN MEETING.-The fol? lowing resolutions were presented and adopted at the Republican meet? ing held in Charleston, on Wednes? day last : Whereas, Hon. B. F. Randolph, member of the State Souate and chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, was brutally mur? dered, publicly and iu open day, at C'okesbury, in this State, on the ICth instant; and Whereas, Hon. Lee Nauce, a mem? ber of the late Constitutional Con? vention, was likewise murdered by persons designated as "unknown," nt Newberry Court House, on the 19th instant; and Whereas, Hon. G. W. Dill and Hon. James Martin, members of the Houso of Representatives of South Carolina, have, in the recent past, been slain by the hands of the assas? sin; and Whereas, It is notorious that these citizens were stricken down for their political opinions; bo it 1. Resolved, By the Republicans of the city of Charleston, in mass meet? ing assembled, that His Excellency R. K. Scott, Governor of South Ca? rolina, be and is most earnestly re? quested to exhaust all legal resources to bring tho murderers to swift and condign justice. 2. Resolved, That the numerous murders of Republicans in the uppei Counties of this State, during thc last sixty days, are mainly due to the daily utterances of the Democratic press of South Carolina, and are thc natural and bloody fruits of thc teachings of some of the leaders ol the Democratic party. 3. Resolved, That ns Republicans, we declaro to our fellow citizens ol the State and of thc United States that we ure advocates of law nuc order nuder the justly constituted authorities of the State, and that w< seek only by legal meaos to preserve and defend our vested rights nude: the free Constitution of South Caro lina; but that, knowing those rights we dare maintain them against a par fy which-is now enacting in dotai upon the soil of this State the whole sale horrors that have stigmatized it career in Louisiana, Tennessee r.m Georgia. .i. Resolved, That should tho vio Intors of law and order in this Stat not desist from instigating and prac ticing the murder of our Rep?blica! fellow-citizens, we fear that the natu rul consequences of oppression mus follow in retaliation by the oppressed in p. manner and to au extent tba the leaders of the Republican part; will not, however much they aesir it ns law-abiding* citizens, be able t< prevent; und wo therefore warn th evil disposed of the Democratic par ty, that a continuance of their pre sent eourseof violence and assassina tion may awaken a spirit which mc derate men in neither party can thei control. In commenting ou the resolution and speeches, tho iveu-s eay3: Perhaps each of these speakers sa down under tho impression that h had made a moderato and peaceful hr rungue; but to a man up a tree th whole affair looked very much lik setting a house on firo and then prc tending to quench the conflagratio with a tea oap of water. Nearly a the speakers dwelt upon tho murde of Randolph in language calculate to inflamo tho passions of their heat ors, and tho poaceful advice whic followed, seemed like a misplace substituto for a cry for vengeance. Wilmington, North Carolina, i importing white barbers from Phill dolphin. lNGTim>iAjBiBM.-We learn from the Abberille Press, in an artiole refer? ring to the bunning bf General McGowan's barn, the following par? ticulars of another incendiary affair: On the following night, (Thursday,) at about the same hour, the building' on Washington street, occupied as a carriage shop by Messrs. Seal & Sign, was discovered to be on fire, and ia spite of all tho efforts to arrest the flames, it was soon entirely consumed. In tho building was a fine lot of car? riages and buggies, with valuablo material pertaining to their business, and a lot of metalic and other coffins. Tho loss of these gentlemeu will amount to several thousand dollars, and will bo severely felt by them. But for the late rains and tho favora? ble state of tho wind, tho destruction of this building would have involved a wide-spread conflagration. 13y great efforts in the liberal application of water aud wet blankets, the adjacent building of Mrs. Hugbey, known as the "Abbeville Hotel," wus saved from taking fire, as also was DuPre's Hotel and other buildings ou the East side of the Public Square. On the same night, au attempt waa also made, without success, to fire the stables of Wm. H. Parker, Esq. The dampuess of the straw prevented the fire from kindling, und the in? cendiary was driven oft' before he could accomplish his work. His tracks were distinctly visible the nest morning. How THE FREEMASONS MANAGED THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.-A Madrid ieiter to the London Neirs says: "The whole of this insurrectionary move? ment hns been under the direction of a revolutionary committee, most of whom, I am told, are members of tho Freemasons' Society-of which there are not less Iban forty-niue lodges, numbering 21,000 members, in Ma? drid-and who have for months past been drilling and arming the people in preparation for this outbreak. So successful had been these efforts, that for the last few days, there have been in Madrid no less than '20,000 men, all armed with muskets or revolvers, (the latter the most common weapon,) aud ready to act ut any moment against the Government. Nor waa tho influence of this Junta, which, of course, neted in combination with Gens. Serrano and Prim and the others, confined to the people. They had friends iu many of the public departments; and every telegram which was received in Madrid, was read by them as soon as by the Pre? sident of the Council, Gen. Concha." CI'KE FOR CORNS.-Thc safest, tho most accessible and the most efficient enre of a corn on the toe, is to dou? ble a piece of thick, soft buck-skin, I cut a hole in it largo enough to re I ceive the corn, and bind it around the toe. If, in addition to this, the foot is soaked in warm water, for five I or more minutes, every night and morning, and a few drops of sweet oil, or oth.^r oily substance, arc pa? tiently rubbed in on the end after the soaking, the corn will almost in? fallibly come looso enough iu a few days to be easily picked out with the finger nail. This saves the necessity of paring tho corn, which operation has sometimes boon followed with painful and dangerous symptoms. If tho corn becomes inconvenient again, repeat tho process at once. SWEDEN BORGIA NISM IN TUE SOUTH. An association of the New Church (Swedenborginn) was formed in Co? lumbus, Georgia, last week, embrac? ing tho States of Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. Rev. W. G. Ray was chosen presiding minister, and among tho members of tho exe? cutive committee elected were several prominent citizens, including Her? schel V. Johnson, Douglas Democra? tic candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1800. A California correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who has been traveling on the Central Pacific Rail? road, says: "It costs ten cents a mile (in coin) to ride on it, and if you I tender your fare in greenbacks, and insist on their reception, tho con? ductor halts and pushes you off thc train. A few days ago, a passenger ottered a greenback dollar for a ride of ten miles. He was promptly ditched." ARKANSAS.-A correspondent of tho Louisville Courier writes that tho Democracy of Arkansas are moving in solid, harmonious column, and will make a good report in November next. They aro also taking great pains in instructing tho negroes, which is resulting in their leaving the leagues by tho thousand and en? listing with the Democracy. A convention of railroad conduc? tors is being held nt Cincinnati, for the purpose of inaugurating a mutual insurance scheme. It is proposed that in thc case of the death of a con? ductor belonging to the organization, oach other member shall contribute one dollar to his naily. An intoxicate^ jan in Duff, lo was killed on Sunday night, by being pushed from a third-story window by two abandoned women, who were also intoxicated. The man fell a dis? tance of thirty feot, striking on his hoad, on some stones, killing him in omuviy. Motto for confectioners' flies "What T ces I sticks to." "ENGAGED."-A well-dressed and rather pompons youth asked a young lady, who was reading in the ears, "Is that seat engaged, madam?" pointing to tho one oeside her. The answer was direct: "Yes, sir, and I am engaged, too." She resumed her reading, and the yonth, evidently much discomposed, retired imme? diately, if not sooner. At a collection lately made at a charitable fair, a young lady offered the plato to a rich man, who was noted for his stinginess. "I have nothing," was his curt answer. "Then take something, sir," she re? plied; "you know I nm begging for tho poor." Washiugtou County, Missouri, has obtained a completo cast iron jail, fifteen by sixteen feet on its founda? tions, with walls seven and a hali feet high. It is neatly mado, large enough for the purposes of tho Couu ty, and perfectly proof against all oftbrts of porsous to escape. A crowd of hungry men and boys stormed a peach preserving establish ment in Cincinnati, tho other day, ?100 girls employed ibero jumped oui of tho windows and ran home, bul the malo employees fought tho crovc' with peeling knives aud soldering irons, and saved the sweetmeats. At Port St. Mary's, opposite Cadiz, there is a college for young priests they were all (twenty-four in number pucked into au open boat and sen! adrift by the Spanish revolutionists but were picked up by a vessel pass ing. The arrest of tho "wickedest" Johr Allen, Saturday last, on tho charge ol keeping a disorderly house, is a sorrj comment on tho furor that was mad? about his pretended "conversion" i few weeks ago. Tho New York Commercial pub lishes a bogus letter from Mr. Soy mour, declining to run for President The Commercial knows that then are many men who may bo deceived even by so transparent a Forgery. Mr. Muggins says that there is in country in the world where wives ari more worshipped than they aro ii France. He regrets to say, however that nil Hie adoration comes fron somebody else's husbaud. On the occasion of an eclipse, ii Virginia, a colored individual b< came greatly elated. "Bress d Lord!" said he; "nigger's timo ha come nt last, and now we's gwino t hub a black sun." "Twelve hundred thousand mo: ready to march, and an unlimitc supply of money!" Such, nccordin to the Pays, is tho present positio of France. Somo half a dozen girls in a coi vent in Cincinnati climbed tho wal and ran off the other night. On broko her ankle iu makiug a lon jump, and was caught. "Uncle, are cannibals those tin live on other falks?" "Yes." "Thei uncle, you must bo one, for ma saj you are always living on somebody. Why is 'coffee liko an axe with dull edge?
