Sunday jfioniiuir, April 2?, ioty. Thc Proponed Demoiid 4b* tit? Cession of Canad*. The idea that Grout Britain can be coaxed or bullied into ceding Canada to tho United States, as a confession of the insult and an atonement for the injury sho inflicted upon ns daring the rebellion, is ono_of the most preposterons and absurd that over on ture J the bead of a Wea to rn Senator/ We hope and trust that 'the administration will not bo'seduced or betrayed into instrooting'onr Minister .to make any. suggestion of this k?i?? to the British Ministry; it wonid be? tray at onoe a degree of diplomatic igno? rance, and a contempt of diplomatic de? cency, not at all creditable to any depart? ment of the Government. If we are to havo "negotiations" with Groat Britain nt all on' this subject, wo must start on some other basis than this. The offences we oharge upon Great Britain are auch as "negotiation", has nothing to do with. D.?magC3 cannot pay for insulte, nor for the prdongatibd of our war, with the loss of life and treasure which it involved. And the attempt' ' to negotiate for satisfac? tion' under snoh wrongs must, of necessity, involve Us not only.in failure, but in ridi? cule. . And nothing"??ttld make the failure more complete, and tho disgrace moro sig? nal than to prbpose'tho cession of Canada, with her 4,000,000 of people, ns tho measure of the satisfaction which^we require. If the peoplo of Canada desire annexatior to the United States and apply to tho home government for release from its authority ir order to carry ont tha? desire, their actioi would afford a basis on which thc matte might bo arrauged. Bot until that, o something like it, has been done, tho les; we meddle with tho matter tho better. Tb less we have to say about a cession of Cana da by England, as a means of atoning fo her wrongs and insults to us in tho Alubam business, the more likely shall wc bc ever t obtain snch a oession. We concur in the general viow of the eas presented by Mr. Sumner in his recen speech. Bnt we confess we eio not see how even on that basis, friendly negotiations ar to be easily opened between the swo govert ments, for an adjustment of difference: The tenor and tendency of that speech i toward war, rather than a peaceful settlt ment. And Sonator Chandler's propositio in the Senate is unquestionably and avowed) in that direction. The paramount obje< in both cases is to compel England to di what will most humiliate her, in satisfactic of the wrongs she has done ns. This cai not be done by negotiation. It can only t done by war, and i whenever the attempt 1 accomplish it in that way is resolved upo; we hope the job will be let out to Senat? Chandler and his constituents. They see to have more leisure on their hands just nc than the rest of the country. -i-o Cuba and tho South. The radical organs are greatly shocked, at least they pretend to be, at'the amou of taxation that Spain lays upon the peor, of Cuba without admitting them to ropi seutatiou. This is denounced by thoso c gans as "short-sighted oppression and a\ rice" of the moat atrocious desoriptic And. jet myriaels of unrepresented citize of our Southern States, myriads bon hand au?l foot with the manacles of disfn chisemout, are taxed fourfold as much the people of Cuba, fourfold as much any people, whether freemen or serfs, in the world, civilizeel or uncivilized, and t very organs that raise such howls over t Cubans think that the oppression of t Southern people is right and just ?iud in ciful ! -!-O iNTEKESTiNrj.-We copy tho followi from the Darlington Democrat: TIMMONSVILLE, S. C., April 19, 18 Married, at Timmonsville, S. C., ou Sat day night, 10th ult., by H. D. Cook, Es (white,) Jim Gour, (black ns tho ace spades,) to Bet Hancock, (white.) INDIOS* ATIOX MEETINO.-Pursuant to j viona notice a meeting of the citizens Timmonsville was held on tho 11th insto Rev. John M. Timmous was called to ohnir, aud James N. Garner requested to as Secretary. The chairman explained object of the meeting to be to give exp sion on a recent marriago of a negro I white woman by a whito Magistrate o( place. Tile meeting was addressed by Byrd, Capt. Johnson and others, all strc ly opposing tho abovo marriage. Al wards the following resolutions v aelopte-d : # Resolved, That we look upon the marr of Bet Hancock, (white,) to Jim G( (black,) as contrary to tho laws of God civil society, and we take this methot express our indignation, not only in caso, but all Uko cases, and will uso best efforts to provent such a disgrac occurrence in this community again. Resolvvd, That we censure tho Magisi (white) who married them, and re thanks to Stephen Gett, (colored,) for r ing to marry the abovo party. Resolved, That the proceedings of meeting bo publishod in the Democrat Southerner. JOHN M. TIMMONS, Chairmi JAMKS N. GAIINE?, Secretary. No. 8,-TUc County ?nd Town of Newberry. To CITIZENS WHO HAVE CAPITAL: IQ days ci yere it was utterly impossible to con? vie co the people of the S ou tb, and, asa matter of courso, the people of this County, of the value of manufacturing establish? ments. Tho most ardent defender could not sec uro a hearing, a dispassionate con? sideration which the importance of the sub? ject demanded. Cotton and negroes wero on the brain. They were firm believers in the everlasting perpetuity of the institution of ala very, and .were satisfied with tho in? vestment pf tbeir,rproflta iu slave property. They would not yield to any suggestions or arg um ob. ts i ti favor of appropriating any portion of their cf.pital to tho business of converting cotton into fabrics. Tho conse? quence was tho entiro wealth, with but few exceptions, was devoted exclusively to a single pursuit. It is trne, that pursuit was eminently successful. Tho returns from cotton received by planters was sufficient to gratify their every wish. Between tho years 1853 and 1860, New? berry County alone produced, ono year with another, '20,000 bales of cotton. This cot? ton, at a moderate calculation at tho then market rates, was worth $1,000,000. Tho State itself produced in and about 350,000 bales, which, valued at tho same, was worth 810,250,000. With such a profit from a single pursuit, oue cannot bo surprised that those engaged should hesitato and refuse to engage in schemes and enterprises which looked to diversity of capital and labor. Our people, though slumbering on a vol? cano, were seemingly satisfied with the per ?nauent basis of tho institution; and n people, a confident, contented people, are uover guilty of innovations. Mon of thought and progress argued that it was unwiso to concentrate as much capital on a single object. It is a fact which po? litical economista will .sustain us iu: Thal capital usefully employed in manufactures by au agricultural people increase in value tho soil ten fold. Experience and statistics overywhoro prove this, that not only thc value of laud, but tho value of everything ii amazingly improved by manufacturing in dustry. We could readily sustain this if wt had time and space. It can now, however bo seen that the policy pursued by our capi tulists was lamentably erroneous iu neglect ing those vast and varied resources whicl the State possessed, and which, if they hai been properly developed, could have buil us up ns a people to a proportion of sub stautial greatness, nud insured permanei: prosperity. In tho present condition c affairs, a diversity of pursuits is a matter o primo necessity with us. A radical chang has been wrought in our labor systom. T?r system of plantation labor under whioh th County was enabled to produce 20,OG bales, and the Slate of South Carolin 325,000, is entirelv broken up. The nc groes, once slaves, aro doing as well as froj the-nature of circumstances any reaoonsb' man conld expect. We must- romembt tiley have been placed in a new oonditioi They are no longer chattel property, sui ject to a master, and hence it would be ui reasonable to presume for a moment tin this labor would bc as available as in form days. True, he is no longer under t owner's control, yet it is to the Southe) man's interest to encourage him in evei proper way to devoto himself industri?os to the cultivatio nof tho lands. For this, si what others may, he is moro peculiar fit led than any other class of laborers in tl world. Land owners are dependent up< him, and will be for a_long course of yeai for tho labor necessary to produco cotto: and it is easy to bo seen, and tho negro w eventually seo it, that he has but to avi himself of tho advantages which he possess to make for himself an independent livii and bicorne useful to tho community; wh we havo no hesitation iu saying that thc ' who raised them and cared for them, wh passion and prejudice has subsided and rt j son assumes her sway, will continue tin I frieuds and do justice to them. A great deal has been said and writt about immigration. In the courso of tin it may bo successful to a limited extent, 1 you should not depend too much on it. is a fact yet to bo demonstrated and pro\ clearly that white labor can bo successfu applied to tho cultivation of cotton. Ex| rionco has shown before to-day, even ii could bo partially, it is by no means BO V, adapted to it as tho negro. Nature and 3 must be governed and diroctexl by natu shows incontestably that tho negro is dowed with a physical constitution peculi ly adapted to a warm aud tropical climat We do not by any means pretend to ari that immigration should be discouraged, no means. There ?vas a timo when you 1 no uso for immigration, but times h changed; you hove ample room now for employment of thousands and tons of th sands of all industrious classes who wisl _ identify themselves Vrtf?^qju"interests and I dest?n y. Let them Mm* tot only ires Europe, but from the North and West. Yon need them; you need theircfcfcor in one re? spect to the pvo?actioi* o? ihe cereals; to internal improvement?? to tho development of your mineral ou.d manufacturing re seuroes. The County and State is progress? ing commercially and agriculturally. But tho question with us is, as to the amount and value of the exports and imports. No country can prosper whoro tho imports ex? ceed the exports. That nile whioh politic"! economy applies to individuals and families, is equally applicable to communities ?nd States. It matters not how much a man makes, if he spends more than ho makes or as much, ho can never accumulate or grow rich. It is tho man who saves, who lays aside for a rainy day, that eventually be? comes independent. It is easier to make money than to save it. If the State of South Carolina and Couuty of Newberry from agricultural pursuits derivo so much income, and the citizens who constitute the County and State expend that income abroad, it is plain that neither the State or County can prosper. But if a system of manufactories be established, both the State and County will soon be enabled to become independent and wilt spend ICPS from home, while you will regaiu what you havo lost, and thereby rccumnlato wealth. Establish manufactures, and thero will be but little money spent from home. You have been too dependent heretofore on the world for manufactured articles. You have been hut mere hewers of wood und drawers of water for others. You have, in a word, been too selfish and narrow-minded for your interests. This unwiso policy is not confined to cotton goods alone. It has ex? tended to everything, from the manufacture of children's toys and rat traps to a loco? motive. Step but into a store, even look into your own houses, and what do you fiud? Brooms, tubs, baskets, hats, shoes, boots, saddles, harness, cutlery, crockery, ?fcc, all c f which have been manufactured elsewhere. Then there is buggies, carriages, barouches, every article of which ought to be manufactured here. LEAR-CHUS. MARiUED. At tho Church of thc Atonement, Augusta, Ga., by Bev. Wm. C. Hunter, Captaiu W.

These pictures ere mado ia a rooro, but they look exactly like they were taken ont'.doora, among rooks, trees and fences. This is dono by an ingenious con? trivance of their own getting up and handi? work, and these scenes are made so that they can vary them every sitting to please the taste of the most fastidious. They coi or th coe I?O??O pictures in imitation of beautiful Italian chromos, and they have all the delicacy and brilliancy that the chromo possesses, and still they are most excellent likenesses. These pictures do ' away with the old stiff aod ungraceful style of posing, for these have all the grace and ?aso of the finest paintings. Their operating room is nicely fitted up with a beautiful light, that works as well in cloudy weather as clear; and in it they havo about a dozen of fine instru? ments, among then the "Dallmeyer," an instrument imported from Europe, which is considered the finest in the world. Their porcelain miniatures are gems of art, and are prettier than the miniatures on ivory, which they resemble so much. Tho chrome lithographs are printed in oil colors from stones, aud some tht*y havo takes sixty dif? ferent stones and impressions to make. Each tint in the picture, however small, haf a sep?ralo stone to print it. A visit to thu gallery will prove interesting and instructive, -o THE COLUMBIA MALE AACADEMY.-Th?

However, this impres? sion is being gradually corrected. It is now admitted that no remedial Agent has ever been discovered, North or South, that pos? sesses, iu so eminent a degree, the power of eradicating from the system all foul distem? per, ns DR.

A24 G "MESS SANA IN SANO CoitrouE."-To have a sound mind in a sound body is ac? knowledged to be tho great cud and aim of life, in a secular point of view. The sound mind is doubtless most desirable; but of what avail is it without the sound body. Observo that youth or that maiden fair, of high spirits and brilliant talents. We ad mire the pule intellectual cast of features; but disease has fastened upon tho fair frame, tho bloodless face grows thin, and decay of mental and physical vigor Boon follows, to be succeeded by death. Man was made to labor, b?t there can be no long sustained work without health. To make the emotions fresh and true, to make the mind active and. vigorous, to make the body strong and handsome, wo must have life's greatest "blessing, health. To eat well, to sleep well, to look well, to act well, health is tho one thing needful. It ia the pearl of great price, moro to be prized thau the wealth of "Ormns, or of Ind." Heiuitsh'8 Queen's Delight is the best blood purifier, health restorer, yet discovered, and he would do well to act well and try it. A23 TUE MAMMOTH CAVE-EXTRACT FROM A P ATV AT E LETTER.-* * * * * We groped about for many boura in this won? derful place. I never saw anything like it. The freaks of nature displayed hore aro very strange, and strike the beholder with awe. But the air in sumo parts of tho cave is close and stifling, and when we came out, I found mysolf saddled with a terrible fever, which entirely prostrated mo. The physician had never seen a case liko it before, aud no reme? dy he prescribed seemed to do the least good. My lifo was despaired of. Mrs. Wilson, with whom I was residing, had in thc house a bottlo of PLANTATION BITTERS, and she insisted I should try it, for she said sho know it to bo a certain cure in all cases of fever, debility, ague, dyspepsia, Sec. I had bat little faith, but finally consented to tr}' it as a last resort. In less than threo hours after the first dose, my fever left mo; in two days I was sitting up, and before Saturday night, I was as well as ever. I tell you all this that you may know how to act in any case of fever, or any similar dis? ease I firmly believe the PLANTATION Brr TERS saved my life. ***** In my next I will tell you about the cave in detail.
