OUR NATIVE LAND.-If poverty aud distress were sufficient reasons for leaving South Carolina, few families or connections, we imagine, of its white population, would now bo ia it. We have all suffered sorrow and bereave? ment, loss of property, and temporarily at least, the loss of liberty. But there is a fooling that keeps some of us nt home, a deep religious feeling. It is that we, who aro strong, should remain here upou our native soil, and help to bear the burdens of those that are weak. It is that wo, who have survived the war, should build up our wusto places around the graves of those, alas ! who perished, and left their loved relatives to tho pro? tection of our laws and institutions such as it is our duty to strive to make them. It is becauso this is our country, and it shall not be taken from us. It is because tho glory of life is often but the halo of its sufferings, and because that material prosperity which we so persistently cou fomul with truo felicity, too often proves a delusioa whea attaiued, and turns, like the apples of Sodom, into ashes ia our grasp. It is because there is a solid satisfaction ia remaining at the post that God has assigned us, in striving humbly to do our duty, uutil called by our Almighty Father's voice to a happier homo in Heaven. Such nra the senti? ments that tio many a strong man to South Carolina, whose nobility of soul and strength of character, did ho leave his native State, would insure him some measure of success anywhere. Of all such mea wc soy-God bless them. I Winnsboro News. DANCIER FROM EATING NUTS.-Medical mea udvise that salt should bu tuleen with nuts, espeoiuily wheu eaten nt night. Once, sayo a writer, while enjoying ?. visit from an Englishman, hickory nuts were served ia tho evening, wheu my English friend called for salt, stating that he knew a case of a woman eating hearti? ly of nuts in tho evening who was taken violently ill. The celebrated Dr. Aber? nethy was sent for, but it wan after he had become too fond of his cup. ond he wns not in a condition to go. Ho mut? tered, "Salt, salt," of which no notice was taken. Next morning ho went lo this place, und she was a corpse. Hf said that hud they given her salt, il would bave relieved her; if they would allow bim to make nu examination, ht would convince them. On opetiiug thc stomae.ii, the nuls were found in u mass Ile sprinkled salt on this, and immo diately it dissolved. ynfAWOIAt.

These resolutions give prominence to that policy which, in the present crisis, rises above party principles and national issues-the prime necessity of securing good government at home-of elevating honest and capable men to offioe-and this by the suffrage of 'all the citizens of tho State, irrespective of color or previous condition.' Hero is n plat? form broad enough for us all to stand upon. ''Asa matter of courso, the action of tho couferenco is only advisory. With a view to Borne determinate aud authori? tative action, they suggest a meeting of a convention of tho people on Wednes? day, the 15th June next. We had , thought that a later day would have been more advisable, but wo suppose that satisfactory reasons determined the selection. But whatever difference of opinion thero might be as to the time of meeting, we had thought thero would bu noue us to the importance of the meeting itself. We do not understand tho reusous which tho W Hillsboro News suggests rather than urges, or why the i holding a convention should involve any arithmetical estimate of 'loss und gain,' why it should bo necessary to lose some Counties und gain others. If wo aro to ! gain anything at all, it is by union-by i concerted pulposos and united efforts. As a first and necessary step to this, we 1 must have a convention.

EDITOR: My advioo to all good citizens is, to register 1 register li vote II vote!!! in the approaching city election. There is really not so much politics in this thing as the peace and quiet of our homes, and the safety of the city nuances. Tho present Mayor and Aldermen are all good and true men, who have discharged their duties; and the effort is without any causo on enrth to displaco them by an Act of legislation before their term is out. They were elected under the laws passed hythe present State Govern? ment. They have, every one of them, been put iu under the Reconstruction Acts of Congress. Among them, there is not a Bingle politician. They are all plain business men. It is duo to these men, and to the eity, that they should be supported by all law-abiding citizens. Leave unlawful acts to others; let good men seek to uphold the law. The woy to do this, is not as Gov. Scott is recom? mending, by Winchester rifles, but by standing peaceably for the law. The great means the law bas placed iu your hands. Comply with the law, register and vote. Remember your taxes. Re? member the city debt. Remember the improvement of your city. Remember its growing importance. Remember that good men will not como and invest here, as they have been doing in the last two years, without a good city government. Remember we need a stable government. Do you want your city to improve? Do you want your taxes to be reasonable? Do you want peace and quiet? Then, wo urge yon not to talk, like Gov. Scott, of Winchester rifles to hold up your government, State or city, but talk of law, order, peace, prosperity and happi? ness to all, without distinction of race or color. We say again, register! registerl! and wo say to von, vote!! vote!!! LAW AND ORDER. The reoord of sudden deaths by care? lessness, nnd it may be wanton negli? gence, in almost every paper we read, is appalling: "Tho other day, iu Philadelphia, a young aud interesting girl was torn to pieces on the shaft of the machinery into which she was drawn by her clothes. A Norwegian, named Fuggleaton, while at work in the printing press factory of A. B. Taylor, No. 3 Hague street, had his right arin torn from his body by being caught in the machinery. Capt. Phil? lips, of the schooner Ann Elizabeth, fell down tho hold, and was killed. A child, ago 7 years, daughter of S. J. Roden burger, was fatally bumed by its clothes taking fire from a stove. David Sharp, a .Terseyman, foll into tho Delaware, at Arch street wharf, and was rescued by the police, after lifo hud almost become extinct. Sarah Titus, aged 45, died yes? terday, at Pennsylvania Hospital, from injuries received from her clothes taking fire.
