C., Observer coutains a long account of the meeting and barbecue, in favor of the Blue Ridge Rail Road. It is represented as a very enthusiastic meeting, some Ave thousand persons having been in attendance. Speeches were delivered by Judge Fkost, Judge Osborne, Mr. Haskell, of Abbeville, Mr. Warren" R. Marshall, of the Blue Ridge Herald, AA'alhalla, Hon. B. Vakce, and AV. I!. Thomas,'. A resolution sustaining a county subScriptioi^of $53,000 was passed unanimously. Hon. W. IV. Boyce. "We take pleasure in stating that our distinguished Representative, Mr Bovoe, will be returned at the approaching Congressional election without opposi. lion.

Everything passed oil" pleasantly. The I'almettocs. The Bcnncttsville Son of Temperance is publishing some excellent sketches of the Palmetto Regiment and its. noble deeds in Mexico. IVe lind the followingparagrapli in the lust issue: "Several of the surviving members of tlie Palmetto Regiment have- forwarded us their names since the commencement of our sketches. It is desired that every member of that ill-fated Regiment, in whatever jpart of the Union, or the world he may ^e, should have ;a copy of our paper during the publication of our sketches. And they shall have it if they will only send us their- names and address; and if any should not be able to pay for it, tlicy shall have it gratis. We claim dor our sketches the utmost reliability in their more important facts and features, and wo wish thoso who were eye-witnesses, and participated in the campaign, to read and judge for themselves. We may touch some points that may never have seen the light before, and wbich-.may be considered important to tbo truth of history., '.Menand measures?matters and things, will all be sketched, as fur as possible, with the impartial pen of,historic truth." ' One Word More. We assure our esteemed friend and cotemporary of the Lancaster Ledger, that our few remarks recently trorn nflbrpil 14in a soirit of true kindness," and if there seemed to be "the last bit of exultation .at'the prospect, beginning to loom up, of Camden'^t jast occupying its legitimate and true position in Ra3 'Road matters, we desire to say, that such feeling will only be entertained liso far as the prosperity of Camden is concerned." We have no desire to indulge in "a retaliatory sentiment" towards Lancaster, aud if such seemed to be the spirit of our article, it was &U incidental result, occasioned by tho circumstances under which that article was penned. Wo wrote strictly in reply 10 what we considered some "whaFir'teflectioo, or point aimed at Camden. A promanent citizen of Lancaster having, about the time that stlie article in the Ledger appeared, indulged in something of the same vein of remark to ns on our Rail Road1 projections, it was but natural that we should repty, aud if there was, even in "a slight degree, a retaliatory sentiment," manifested on tho occasion, it must l>e attributed to the time and circumstances under which we wrote, aud not from "malice afore thought";' ; t ???l.l In lm frnm (rnrvrm 1 iIhim] nositiotl. iMlUUlSUri VU?MV bV .<v, ..V... social and business relations, our natural ally in "Kail Road matters." We desire to cultivate the most friendly, regards for our old and gallant neighbor, and feel authorized to say to our esteemed brother of the Ledger, that in our Rail Road projections we are looking to a connection wirit Lancaster. It is uot intended to givo her the go-by, and we maintain, as we , have heretofore contended, that Lancaster is entitled to a Road, ought to have one?and that Camden is bound, in duty and interest, to aid in its construction. Hon. Wm. JL. Yancey at Washington. Washington", September 21.?Hon. W. L. Yancey arrived here to-day. An immense and enthusiastic crowd, headed by the "Marine Band," serenaded him this evening. In response to frequent calls, Mr. Yancey appeared^ and made a haudsomo reply. Ho spoke most eloquently and advocated disunion in the event of Lincoln's election. He said the Union was iu the hands of the Northern anti-Lincolnites, who could prevent disunion by a fusion for Lincoln's defeat. Mr. Yancey coucliidcd by saying that if the Northern sectional majority disregarded the checks and limitations of the Constitution, Southern freemen would plant the banner of equality upon the mountains of Georgia, and entrench . themselves in a Southern Confederacy; but lie hoped that a timely fusion would avert such dire -evils.? Charleston Mercury. Stale Xo'rinal School. Attention is invited to the uotice, in another column, of this excellent Institution, at Charleston. Still on Hand. A few copies of Judge O'Neali.'s Bench and Bar j of South Carolina, are sttil on hainl at the Journal office, tc be had at Publishers' price.Reply to Interrogatories of "Many Voters.'.' ' , Mil Kuitor:?lit answer to the interrogatories, in | the Journal of tiie 4th instant, propounded by "Many Voters," to tlic candidates, without copying the interrogatories themselves, I submit.the following: I 1st. I tun "in favor of the election of Breckinridge , and Lane for the Presidency aud Vice-Presidency of ^ these United States." , 2d. "In the event of the election of Lincoln and , Hamlin," I would favor the South taking raeuautes, , immediately, to assume an attitude for asserting its , independence out of tile Union: for the almost num- , berless acts, already committed, both of an "overt" and , covert nature, against the Constitutional Rights of the 1 South, have convinced me that, should Lincoln lie elected, there will be no other alternative left, unless the South is prepared to yield every thing she holds dear However, were there any grounds to hope that tiie Government would be administered on Constitutional principles, so that all sections would have their.Con- , stitutional Rights guaranteed unto them, and this con- , tiuual warfare on the "peculiar institution" of the South would cease, in that case I would prefer that , the Union be preserved, no matter what temporary , contingency might happen. - A; * , 3d. If tlec'ed, I will vote for even- proper measure ] calculated to "promote the speedy construction of the ( "projected Central Rail Road of South Carolina." ? 4tli. From Gourdiu's via Manning and Sumter, is , the route selected for the 'Central Road.' I cannot, ( therefore, favor the "granting a chartcr for any other ( project on that route. I may favor, granting a charter .j for that part of the route froni-Sumtcr to Camden, provided that I ho assured of the fact time ilio people at the termini and along the line are in its favor. I heartily approve of the contemplated Road from Camden to Ridgeway, and- will do everything for it that I can. I think the best policy for the friends of the scheme of a Road from Gourdiu's to Camden,- would be to wait until the Central Rood bo built,aud the "Wilmington Road constructs its road to Columbia, or, until from somC contingency they fail.--. In tiie tirst case, there would be Rail Road communication between Gour- : din's and Coradeit,' and in thp last, the project would have more friends. J NO. R. SIIAW, , Douglas in New York. "PlXK," the spicy and capital New York corrcspon- , dent of the Charleston Courier, under date of tlio 13th | instant, writes to that paper, from which we make the following extracts:? liThe Douglas barbecue, yesterday, if not in itself a big thing, was the foundation "of many big stories. In | computing the numbers present our city papers differ , iu their estimates most miraculously. Thus, for instance, the Evening Post puts the crowd down at 7000, , the Tribune at 10.000 ! Times 30,000, News 50,000, Herald 60,000, and the Express at 75,000! The bar- | becue was a sell, at least, so. it is said.. The crowd , went there to see oxen, sheep, calves, aud other ani- , mala roasted and roasting tjrtiolc, but when they ar- , rived there, they had all been cooked, cut up and ready , for deliver}-. Tbero were pits dug and coals thrown | in them to make tiio people believo that the animals , had been "spitted" and slowly cooked over the tire.? ; But this was all sham. . - ; >: , ' When the time for catiugeame. the scene present.?* T/.n/w' W/wl nmo otiirifo/1 if nnh nlriMinfr If seemed as if the multitude ,ljad come to feed and not to hear. The rabble reminded mo of the Winter of 1S57, when charitable persotrti* made free distributions of soup and other eatables.: tThcn the poor, starving lower classess acted with something like decency.? But yesterday,- the unfed,. unwashed ruffians broko down all barriers, overpowered the police, drove awnv tlio attendants, and seized great chunks of meat, loaves ofMircad, and whatever else' tliCy could lay their hands on, and like selfish dogs, sneaked away to some corner to devotw it hurriedly a?dAunobserved. -After tiie feed was bver. which require* but a very few minutes, ' >ljliiiffaml.u.UU i",Ijuiuj: fi ? ' Neither tlio speeclies or Douglas or of Johnson made any impression. , Douglas has rcjieated himself so often that his sjieeehcs havb become stale. Of Mr. Johnson, of Georgia, it was remarked- that a ny ordinary second-rate lawyer could successfully comi>eto with liirn on the stump." . Tiao Fate of Walker and Rud'cr. New Orleans, September 21.?By.an arrival at this port to-dny, we have later intelligence from Truxillo. Gen. Walker and Col: Rudlcr, who were condemned to death by the authorities of Honduras, have been shot. Most of their followers have been permitted to return to the United States unmolested. Gale at New Orleans.?There was a furious gale at New Orleans >n Saturday, the 15th insL, causing great destruction of property. Nearly every house at Baiizo was carried away and several lives lost, including Capt. Kinney, pilot of the New York and Havana steam boat company. The steam ship Galveston, and ships Galena, .Sheffield, and brig "West Indian, and schooner Toncey, bound out, were all blown ashore at the Passes. Several tow boats are lying high and dry at Milncbtug. The terminus of the Ponchurtain railway was sub- | merged, and the wharves damaged. It is reported that all the wharves and bath houses on the lake slioro^ between New Orleans and Mobile were swept away. The town of liiloxi is a mass of ruins. Augusta Cuiustitutionulist. PitOF. J. II. Carlisle.?This gentleman delivered , the promised lecture upon temperance (of which notice was given in our last issue) to a large and respectable audience, on Tuesday evening last.?The lndtira tvna u-nrtliv of thejrioll limitation Prof. (/'. bears, and went directly home to the hearts of all present. As a dissertation upon the evils and .estimate consequences of intemperance, we have never heard it surpassed?indeed, seldom equalled. 1 lis style was impressive, his words eloquent, and the truths presented were clearly nud forcibly urged. Nothing of the anecdotieal order was attempted, neither did the lecturer deal in wholesale denunciation ; but with a consciousness of the dignity and serious importance of his subject,-he brought coiry facing arguments and apt illustrations to the. uttentiqn. of his hearers, ami left tliein to decide each for li fqgcljf upon the abandoning or pursuit of intemperate > .habits. VTo have heard no lecture of a similar character for years which created so miich reflection among ao audience, and we trust that its good iuflueuce may bo made permanent for the cause advocated.?Anderson Intelligencer. Trackdy.?Tlio Lancaster ledger learns that an altercation occurred between I'r. "\V. F. Bouhvare, of Claiborne Parish, Lousiana, and three or four persons of the same place, about tlio 10th of August last. The Doctor received sevend severe wounds with a knife, which caused his death in three days after the difficulty, lie was formerly of Fairfield District, and intermarried witli Mary K., eldest daughter of the late Rev.

The ingredients composing this celebrated Remedy being entirely vegetable, no unplensnnt symptoms are left behind after cure. (22.) Fi.rsKF.TiSM?The visit of the Prince of Wales appears to have beeu made the occasion for the display of an excess of toadyism and flunkeyism as ludicrous as is degrading to all true manliness of character. Thus a correspondent of the New York Times who accompanies U. R. II. on his travels, writes that at Quebec the Prince's apartments were ''visited by hundreds of people who manifested the most insane desire to get hold of anything even liclonging to or used by him': even some dirty water left in his basin was bottled and s?l<l at fnnr 'hitdims n vial k J r / The Gale at East Fascasonlii?Great Distress. AVc doubt whether any portion of the Gulf6oast lu.s suffered more severely, than Kast -Pascnjioiila. Tho extent of the damage t<? property at this place, considering the very humble circumstances of the sufferers, is, indeed, most distressing. Gentlemen who came passengers, yesterday, by the steamer Oregon inform us that the utter wreck and ruin caused by tho^tflSm truly heart-rending. Some ten families are loll not only houseless, but entirely destitute. Their little all lias been swept a Way-forever. Many of theSc^faiiiilies were of the very humblest class, subsisting almost wholly by fishing; their whole property, a few fishing boats and tho ill-constructed dwellings that but poorly sheltered them from the elements. Several cases of ,'reat distress among this class have been told us, but (pace prevents our laving them before our readers this morning. Suffice it now to say that there is much need of the immediate exercise of charity towards them; aud we trust our citizens will act promptly in the matter. Any person wishing to contribute, we ire authorized to say, can send their contributions to Mr. Krebs, the postmaster at East Paseagoula. New Orhans Bulletin, lOt/i iust. Hun. E&o'ger A.

C.?A writer in Aiken contributes the following Information to the Laureusville Herald > The orchards, especially of poaches, in fhe vicinity, are very extensive and very profitable. Some, by a peach orchard alone, realize aunuallv some ?">00 to ?10,000, and nothing pays bettor profits to the farmer lor time and attention. The lands are extra- ;ly poor, and suitable only to this culture and that of grapes. ViuCyards often yield ?10,001', and arc being extensively cultivated. There are fortunes to be tnade vet in Laurens district by the peach and grape culture; and instead of planting poor and worn out laud ever}year in corn and cotton, and losing our labor, were we to plant some fifty acres in peaches or twenty in grapes, and aitend them properly, we would realize, with little labor, thousands of dollars, where now the crop puts us in debt. A clergyman of the Methodist persuasion,writes tlie following, among other things, to the Journal .?/ Commerce, from Vicksburg. Mississippi: "Our papers are teeming with accounts of the havoc of another John Brow^f raid on the border counties of Texas. Abolitionists have been there in the character of Methodist Preachers, Teachers, Arc, and instigated a general insurrection among several hundred negros. They had planned matters for a most bloody uid fatal catastrophe. Firearms of all sorts, arsenic to be put in wells for poisoning tlie people, and means for setting lire to tlio whole town at once, were detected, but not until five tow ns hud been burned, and rreat mischief done. One woman has been hung for distributing arsenic, to be put in cisterns and wells.? And oue or lwo preachers have been hung for aiding md inciting to revolt. If tilings go on lit this rate, a nan suspected of anti-slavery proclivities will be bung >r shot like a dog, a fate tliey court, it would seem.? Southern people will be driven to desperation at this ate, and invoking France or England, will put the . otton interests under their protection.
