Morrow for a delicious mess of fine, large strawberries, some of which measured nearly three inches in circumference. (C On the last page will be found the speech of Hon. R. B. Riiett, delivered in Charleston on the 7th ult Wo deem it unnecessary to offer any tut giving it cuiuc) iu uic caviubiuii ui uiucr 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. [communicated.] 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." jj. t. Bat we did not set down to write oat a long ar^ Cold apon this subject, only simply to give s hint to the anwajry, and therefore in eonoliuion would state, that we were informed a few days ago, by a gentleman of undoubted veracity, that one of these c ilch penny, petty dealing pedestrians lodged in and aooai uie precinia or us plantation, and after ex|iniHf negating doae of powerful pathoaand papalky tar tba Mom oondition of an old gray beefed negro of his, finally ooachtded with a tar* taveetiTM, the charaetar a# which W6 an lifriWtuilf prepared tottal>, hMoMkt dealing wilktwefle* fcroe irolUea of hot ehM In tin way at efmi of luwultlgttd ~eoutu?fty? and derision vpA of the 8o?A v end' aftei ~i ? a i ^ 1 i itT niyiBg i wuvvu uuimu cuuiimnwij w vp pi on one tre, a*f fc*ngWnanif oecopjt* ***** tidrMi * pMbfttMarf it Mpodhait to bn?e<S?i?Iy toocumb, and d* *>, and for a few minutee made time * ; \ ?mmn??ii equal to the hurried steps, if Wo have been rightly informed, of a starved Hyena. Thon, wo would say, keep a vigilant eye upon these beggars and foot peddlars, and consider well before you sudor your puree strings to expand iu their behalf?re? membering that you may be dispensing alms to a nefarious clan of miscreants, who would glory in tho downfall of slavery, and the entire overthrow of the whole institution. J. L. C. [communicated.] " 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, Were prodigal of harmony. Innumerable songsters in the freshning shade Of new spring leaves, their modulations mixed Mellifluous." Clear Spring, May 1, 1851. W. [communicated*] Cokksbury, April 30, 1851. A meeting of the Students of Cokosbury Institute being culled, on the occasion of the removal from our midst, by the hand of death, our friend and fellow-student, Franklin Walter Bates, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: wnereas, it naa pleased Almighty Uod, in the inscrutable dispensations of his providence, to take from among us our beloved fellow student, Franklin Walter Bates ; and whereas, it be comes ua members of the Institution to which he belonged, to give aome testimonial of our appreciation of hia worth, and our grief at his untimely death, Re?olt>td, That we do most sensibly feel his loss, and deeply sympathize with his bereaved family in their sad affliction. Retolved, That in evidence of this feeling, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of the above resolutions be transmitted to the parentsof our deceased friend, and to the Editors of the Abbeville Banner, Edgefield Advertiser, Southern Christian Advocate, and Palmetto State Banner, for publication.

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. Dr. J. J.

Charleston Courier. 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 tit*a nf roilrAaB iuIiiaK flta 1?<lM *4a may indicate as the best, when we are called 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; Ohil fi Ufl ani'ifnnlc '' ? ??MV> !?? It>v a v.

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. O. Daily Delta, April 29. iX Mrt r?/* I 3\T vpviui Muiiut). Dr. T. A.
