for a delicious mess of fine, large strawberries,
some of which measured nearly three inches in circumference.

matter. The subject is one of the deepest interest,
and its discussion clear, calm and dispassionate, and
like everything emanating from Mr. Rhett, stamped
with ability.
We also publish this week, an able and interesting
letter from Gen. Wallace. It was addressed
to the Editor of the LaurenBville Herald, in reply
to one from the Editor, asking his views upon the
question of separate State secession. We mention
this fact as highly creditable to Gen. Wallace?
suuwiug on his part no disposition to " beat the
bush," or shrink from the avowal of his opinions.
The Southern Rights Convention.?In another
column will be found the first day's proceedings
cf the Convention which met in Charleston on
Monday last. Four hundred and thirty-one Delegates
were in attendance, representing forty Associations.
The number of associations represented,
and the number and promptness of the Delegates,
augurs Well for the spirit and deliberation of the
meoting. We expect something of much interest,
and will endeavor to lay it before our readers next
ween.

Jfr. Editor:?We regret to know that a crisis,
almost, if not entirely, as appalling as that through
which we struggled into national life, is already
upon us. And while in the midst of the turbulent
storm of excitement and chaos of confusion, it
would probably be well to announce, pro bono publico,
that all may be apprized and on the alert, that
there are, and huvo been for a length of time, in
our District und State, a worthless clan of itinerant
vagabonds, figuring about under the appellation of
Polandera, who are entirely destitute of any regular
avocation of life, excepting the low, despicable,
unworthy business of "alms asking." And it is
our settled conviction that this clan of ininoveriahp.d
mendicants should be immediately snapped up and
examined, and ejected unceremoniously from the
door of every man's house that they may have the
daring presumption to darken. They are, indeed,
as precious a set of fine looking gentry us ever
looked upon the "stars and stripes," and instead of
being objects of charity and commiseration, we are
rath?" disposed to harbor the id?ia that they are officiating
in the capacity of spies; and if such is the
case, it would therefore be well for all who possess
any regard for their interest and valuables, to be
on the alert, and keep an eye single to every movement
made by this scouting, pretended shipwrecked
fraternity.
At this particular crisis we have mnch to mourn
over, and should take cognizance of every thing
and connive at nothing of a suspicious character.
Vagrants and stray* that come into our midst without
a legitimate and honorable avocation should be
assiduously watched and regarded us dead weights
unnn the vitals of noristv.
We had flattered ourselves but a little while ago,
that all such nuisances were almost defunct, but
while in the enjoyment of this blessed hope, we
v wero completely abashed by an additional increase
\ of a sort of light infantry corps, who represented
1 themselves as foot peddlers, and who like the
8 miserable beggars of whom we have been speakJ
ing, possesses an unlimited amount of impudence,
and who may be known on first sight by the most
casual observer, as having an extraordinary portable
package swung to their huge frames, (the con
tenia of which wo will not stop to state,) and also
by their very Kant caps and suspicious looking
coats, the pockets of which, we have no doubt, are
generally well hung with all manner of abolition*
ist papers, purporting to deify and dignify the spurious
philanthropic principles of Setoard, Ryriders,
Garrison and Douglas and all such cracked brained
fanatics, who are daily laboring to sever the
bond which connect master and slave, and thus to
excite insurrection, and to spread desolation and
bloodshed through the land ; and for what motive
we cannot tell. Probably no language can be mustered
better to express the object in view than the
language of the immortal Milton.
" e.vii do mou my good ....
To <o aught good never will be onr task,
But ever to do ill oar sole delight,
As being the contrary to Ilia high will
Whom we resist. If then his providence,
Ont of onr evil seek to bring forth good.
Oar labor must be to pervert that end.
And oat of good still to find means of evil."

the anwajry, and therefore in eonoliuion would

" Oh ! come, and while the rosy footed May
Steals blushingly on, together let us tread
Nature's rich labyrinths."
Custom has marked, or at least set apart the first
of May as a day of rural mirth and gaiety. Whether
it was observed in ancient times, and handed
down to us by regular dcscent?tho same as some
memorable day, on which we commemorate the
brilliant achiovemonts of our ancestrv?or nni. I
j am not Well prepared to say ; but it certainly ia to
me one bright a pot In the circle of memory?that
ia to say, a happy memorial of the past.
On the day we mention, Naturo seemed to disapprove
the measureB taken to render all th'.ngs
charming, but at last smiled on our rural feats and
festivities. We assembled in mass at the pleasant
country seat of , known as Niagara, near the
falls of the " Minor Niagara." The stream which
gives rise to these falls, meanders along, gently
murmuring, until near its descent its glassy bosom
sparkles white with foam. It is here nature has
thrown and wide spread hor charms, beautiful to
see. The Bcene is, as it were, the lost glance of
beauty emerging into sublimity. It was well calculated
to produce lively emotions, and to call forth
from the hoo- , pleasing sentiments. It was ro
| mantle in tho oxtremo?the life of the lover, tho
joy of tho poet, and well calculated to throw over
all, the rich tints of pleasure, which it evidently
did?for all seemed wrapt in amusements exquisiteSome
woro chirping as merrily as the responsive
bird does to its mate, on an adjacent bower. Those
no doubt were lovere. I merely throw out the
idea. It may have been in jest; and hero let me
ask, how often jests, in such matters, prove but the
forerunners of stern reality. Others may each have
found a mate. Others happy seemed, wliiitil ihey
in couples or in trio sat. Tho eye's one glanco was
sufficient to cause any one to conjecture this, and
yet perhaps the opposite is true. I think lh? former
hypothesis is just, and most certainly the correct
viow. If not, it was flirtation, love's adversary
to the one, whilst to another, his nearest ally.
I would almost vow one was flirting, whilst backgammon
playing.
After a few hours' gaiety, we partook of refreshments,
well deserving of their namo?especially one
delicacy to wit, strawberries. A certain young
lady and gentleman seemed particularly fond of the
delicious fruit; and judging from the quantity conssrscd,
I should tiiiuk tuny were uu uncommon article
in their immediate vicinities.
Then came the dull monotony of talking, which
continued so for some time, until music's sweet
strains were heard echoing and re-echoing from and
through a thousand treep, till its last notes glided
away with, and were only hushed by the evening
lephyrs.
" For music held the whole in perfect peace ;
Soft sighed the flute; the tender voice was henrd
Warbling the varied heart; the woodlands round
Applied their choir, and winds and waters flow'd
In consonance."
Music lius wonderful effect upon soma people,
consequently a few were seen tripping merrily on
the fantastic toe. Others were enjoying themselves
while viewing the jovial dance, for it wusbut
recreation, innocent amusement, the drowning of
dull care, and most agreeable when loving partners
in ease and grace moved od. Fancy dances were
occasionally introduced, in close connection with
that of the inimitably sable one, universally known
and appreciated as Juber.
From occasional blushes, slight diffidence, and
well marked timidity during the dance, one might
naturally suppose that propositions to this effect
were made by the gentlemen to the "laughing fair
" Let us be partners through life." I will not assert
it;?a mere conjecture of my own. I imagine
the secret of such amusements and entertainments
(in order that time may pass agreeably) is variety?
a continual changc of things; hence the proposal
to promenade was gcnerully received with joy. A
wild romp in the woods is truly pleasant, especially
at this season, when beauty beams from every hil'
and dale. Nor were we, while they were enjoying
themselves, deprived of the Eoul-stirring music.
" Rv/?rv / iinoA
Deep tangled, tree irregular and bash
Bending with dewy moisture o'er the heads
Of the coy cboiriiters that lodge within,

Of new spring leaves, their modulations mixed

South Carolina Medical Association.
The third Annual meeting of tbis Association,
was held at Temperance Hall, ou
Friday, the 2d May. Tho attendance was
not so great as at some previous anniversaries,
but this meeting was one of more interest
than usual. Several members of the American
Medical Association wero present;
among them we noticed tho much respected
names of Mussey, of Ohio, Stevens and
Oilman, of New York, Adams, of Boston,
Gooch, of Virginia, and others whose names
we did not learn. Tho advent of these Physicians
in our midst will be readily accounted
for, when we remember that the American
i lvicuiciu Association meets 111 this city this
J week.
The Anniversary Oration, by Dr. Thomas
Y.Simons, on tho history of Yellow Fever,
in Charleston, was repleto with interest.
From its great length, embodying such a
m.-iss of facts, accumulated in a practice of
almost half a century, and being Port Physician
nearly thirty years, we can confidently
predict the future reputation of its distinguished
author.
Wo have been much pleased to witness
the interest manifested by the country Physicians
; more than half the members at this
meeting being from tho country. It is an
augury of good, and we believe that this
Association will yet acquire infiuetico sufficient
to effect the most salutary reforms.
Much good baa been already done : but so
much remains undone that the good results
so far, are not evident at first sight. With
a more liberal minded Legislature, the work
of reform will be speedily accomplished;
but meeting so much opposition from that
quarter, where it hai a right to expect the
most cordial support, the work will be done,
but slowly. We predict its ultimate Buccess
most confidently, for we have witnessed in
this meeting a determination to persevere.

rr ITT T\ ? ?
amb wait-a-bit x' arty.?" separate
State action" was the first bug-bear of the
ultra co-onerationist.s. but- mw to give point
to their pointless arguments, they speak of
"immediate separate State action." We do
not like either phrase, as both are cumbrous,
and involve tautology or solecism. A State,
according to our judgment, is necessarily
separate, sovereign and distinct, and any action
adopted by h State as such, must be.
based on this individuality and sovereign
personality. The action of any State, whether
looking to resistance or submission, must
be "separate State action," or it will not reprepsent
the judgment and opinion of the
Stale?hence we regard the first phrase a3
unncc&ssarv, as it certainly is cumbersome
and awkward.
As to "immediate separate State action,"
,.e ? .1.
t* ?<v,u niijr ?#? biiuau vyiiu liib icnn so irequently
and familiarly, condescend to define
it, we can be able to give our views on it; as
matters now stand however, not knowing
what it means, or what margin of time is
allowed by the word "immediate," we cannot
say whether we are for or against it.
We certainly are for "action"?of that we
trust that none of our readers can now entertain
a doubt; we are for effectual and decisive
action if possible, we would have that
action adopted at the earliest possible day,
and with no delay beyond that required by
the relations of the State, and by the dictates
of a sound policy, that would so order
the action as to time and manner, as to make
it efficient. On all these points we have endeavored
to define our position beyond all
possibility of misapprehension, but still we
cannot tell, for the reasons above stated,
whether we are for or against what is called
"immediate separate State action." Will
any one tell us what thw long and hard name
does mean I
Wo think nn accurate definition of these
phrases would be of service in many respects,
and we therefore earnestly request one from
a competent source. It may enable many
who, in reality, are aiming at the same object,
to understand each other better, and to
overlook in consequence of substantia] agreement,
minor points of difference which time,
and the progress of events will rapidly remove.
It will prevent the submi33ionists
from claiming too, as they are fond of do
ipg, the sanction and authority of men who
ditftr from them cardinally?of men who
are earnestly in favor of action definite and
efficient, and only oppose what they regard
as premature action. If the body vested
with authority to decide the question was
now charged with it?if the Convention was
in session and resolutions looking towards
accession were before it awaiting a vote, we
could understand the application of such
phrases as "immediate secession," or ''immediate
State action" of any kind.
As it is, however, we are at a loss, and
deem it useless to argae the question whether
it woald be better to secede to-day or
to-morrow, when it is impossible that the
question can be decided either way, on either
day. The main question now is: "Shall
South Carolina submit"?an answer to which
in the affirmative, might well curdle the
blood in the veins of those whose heads
have blossomed like the Almond tree, and
whote hearts have long since lost the transient
heat and fury of youthful impulse and
passion. An answer in the negative leaves
us at liberty to select that mode and meas

upon to carry the answer into action.

The river opposite the thriving village of
Carrollton, was yesterday the scene of a truly
heart rending occurrence. The circumstances,
as near as we could glean them, are
as follows: Mr. George Logan, who but recently
removed from South Carolina to this
8fe?te, and who, since his arrival here, has
been occupying one of Mr. Conrey's houses
in the upper part of this city, went up to
the Parish of St. Charles a few days since,
on a visit to his brother, Dr. Logan, who resides
some twelve miles above Carrol It on, ou
the opposite side of the river. After breakfast,
yesterday, Mr. Logan undertook to return
to Carrollton in a skiff. The tiny vessel
was pretty Well laden down with trunks
and other articles, and was freighted moreover
by Mr. Logan, his three sons, two negro
men, one negro woman, and two negro
children. With many a merry jest the
youthful voyagers and their father pushed
OUt on th?i unpprtain vvntprn wliila T
gall's lady, his daughter and Mrs. George
Logan were to keep pace with them on the
land in a barouche, and when they arrived
opposite Carrollton, they were to be ferried
across the river fur the purpose of visiting
this city with their friends. On and on in
safety, the skiff careered, till ?he came in
front of Carrollton. There, unfortunately,
Bhe ran foul of a wood raft, overset, and in
a moment of time the lives of all were in
jeopardy. None of the party could swim.
Mr. Logan was drifted under the raft; his
three sons, whirling away in the eddies, sank;

Mr. Logan, more than half drowned, was
picked up after passing completely underneath
the raft, and one son was saved by a
sturdy boatman, who seized him by the hair
of the head as he was sinking for the last
time. These two?the father and one son
?were all that were saved of the nine, who
but a few moments before, were on board of
that boat, and so certain of many years of
coining life. So true it is that " in the
midst of life we are in death." When We
visited Carrollton, some hours after the occurrence,
we learned that Mr. Logan had
joined his female friends on the other side
of the river, and that all were nearly render
ed frantic by the terrible catastrophe which
had overtaken them. Deeply indeed do we
sympatize with them in their distress.?N.
