J'Yom t/ir LanrcmtilU Ih uuU. ( -* IiKTT?R FROM KANSAS. Oklawakk City, K. T., ) Aug. 12, 1850. ) "'mu. Kditoh : A letter lias boon received nt iliis place addressed to one of (.Jen. A. C. Junes' company of South Carolina Emigrants, which letter says thai Maj. 13. F. Perry, of Greenville, lias been canvassing the District and everywhere making wholesale and public charges against the South Carolina Emigrants, affecting their merit, position nnd standing at home, lie is reported to have said that none but the lowest class and " scraping?M of that State had coino to Knansatf. Now these charges need no refutation, nor do we require any vindication of our diameter ;ui<l standing Iwiforc the people of South Carolina, where we are known to our friends, acquaintances mid neighbors. Our only surprise rs, that uny man in South Carolina, even Major Perry, would stoop so low and debase himself so much as to utter such foul-momhed abuse and slander. The only thing that entitles the charge and its author to any notice whatever, is the possible effect it may produco in other parts of the country, 4 where we are not known. I do not speak j boaslingly iu saying that a more geutle/ manly, respectable, intelligent and generous body of men never left Carolina, ami ,SV^ never were reared there, than the comy pany of Gen. Jones'. In this assertion the unanimous public sentiment of Laurens District will bear me out. Mean and despicable must be the man, ?lio dares openly and publicly to stain the character and wound the honor of a company of gallant inon who, sacrificing the endearments of * homo and friends, emigrated to Kansas for the patriotic purpose of advancing the Southern cause, am! of defending Southern rights and Southern honor: and sure wo are, that.his falsehoods and slanders will not find an echo in the hearts of any but his abolition sympathizers of the North. Major Perry has also charged that Gen. Jones' company wore driven from the Ter\ ritory, on account (lie means) of their law' \ kssness and bad conduct. By this charge, \ Major Perry has attempted to create ilie jvinitfrcaaton l'mt we 5,rc nothing less than a , roving band of robbers and murauders, J and that we were expelled as such from the Territory; but in the charge the author ?*-J- misses the truth as far as he is guilty of a l r i--i i n - ? w * " uh.su laihimiuuu 111 me nrsi Manner. \\ e have never been driven from the Territory, nor lias the attempt ever been m:ido to drive us out. We have been in Kansas since wo first entered it?we expect to re^ main bere without dread, as long as we f choose, and if we desire to leave, we will leave without compulsion. Now, it is well known here that disturbances in this Territory are frequent. About the time we entered the Territory, outbreaks were comy mon, parties of abolitionists were in open rebellion against the laws, and bid defiance to the officers of law. They were daily ^ murdering pro slavery men in cold blood, ib on.i f * i1 .f MIIVA uiitiu^ viiicia uVIM tuvii ing their properly ami pillaging llieir houses. - This state of things aroused a feeling of . resentment, an 1 not only citizens of Kansas, but of Carolina and Missouri, mart-lied to the rescue, to slay the hand of abolition aggression and barbarity. We had just w.\ arrived, and feeling all the sympathy for J our murdered and injured friends, which T animates the Southern heart, and feeling all the hatred for abolitiou'sm which education ,%v. and justice implants in the Southern bo Mom, we stood ready and willing to play our pnrt in tlie contest with our outlawed enemy. For this we were not driven out V of Kansas, for we nH?|d with the whole ?la^6ry" party. Neither were wo cent except by those from whom censure yBtbnest men is praise. At one time we s >fere camped about two miles from the U. '. S. troops, and were visited by Capt. Dessausure, a native of Carolina, who treated us with great respoct and civility, and told U3 that Major Buford and company, and some company from Missouri, wore ordered from the Territory, on account of their hostile attitude; but ho remarked that we were Law and Order men, and that the company should not bo interrupted. So much for this charge. We do not believe that nny true son of the South will cast censure upon us for holding ourselves in < readiness to rppel abolition aggression, and resent abolition outrages upon pro-slavery men ana properly; nor (to we suppose thai .. - -Majoi^Iierry had any other motive in slandering the character of houeSt men, than X *? recommend himself to the cjoud graces ??j bf Northern abolitionism. N>> doubt he jfr^v^nilulges in the delusion that either FillVv or Fremont will be elected to the nev, and that he will l>e rewarded t r i Ion ^o the South, by receiving iorr,i jtnient under the general Govv ?; ii .

A GREAT PIC NIC. Our readers will bear in mind that the great Temperance gathering, of which 110: tiee has been previously given, will come off on next Tuesday. Quite a number of distinguished speakers have been invited j and expected to attend. Speaking will commence at 10 o'clock. Both Temperance and anti-Temperance, arc invited to take part in the festivities of the occasion. Those who can conveniently, are expected to bring provisions. A stand and tables will be provided in a beautiful grove near the Depot. Extra trains will be run, but when and where from, we do not know. It is the custom to keep it sub rosa, at least not to give it further notoriety than that afforded by a Depot advertisement. fbom Washington. A telegraphic dispatch from Washington, announces that the new Nicaragua)! Minister will not be received. It will be remembered that Mr. Wiiitti.esky, first Comptroller of the Treasury, refused, upon the adjournment of Congress, to pass the requisition for extra pay, voted by the House of Representatives to its officers, cleiks and messengers. The matter has been referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, who has decided that under the operation of the resolution, those em I ployces only who receivc a per diem comi pcnsalion, are entitled to extra pay. The j clerks receiving annual salaries, are excluded. BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. In Fairfield, an effort is being made to defeat those candidates for the Legislature, who voted the appropriation to tho Blue llidge Railroad. We are happy to believe that no consideration of the kind will influence a vote in this District. We favored the proposition in its incipioncy, and time will vindicate the wisdom of the measure. We think it a lamentable misfortune that the Suite did not commence twenty years ago, a general system of internal improvement, by aiding her citizens to build Railroads. We would not advocate the propriety of the Slate undertaking such enterprises alone; but wherever the commercial and agricultural interest of any section of 1 Lliu Stulfl rnriliirp. linilrnnils ivn wnnl/T lm?/? ( 4 , ihe Legislature?as it lias done heretofore? to afford liberal aid. The effort to injure the Road, or to make ihe Slate undo what has been done, coines too late. We hope there are none who advocate the folly of repealing the act making the appropriation. We arc always talking of a direct trade with Europe. This is a consummation heartily desired. IIow can we accomplish it? IIow can we achieve commercial independence without Railroads thr< ujh the whole length and breadth of the Southern States? IIow can Charleston ever become an importing city while her trade is re stricted to its present limits ? THE TEMPERANCE PIC NIC. The following named gentlemen compose the Committee of Arrangements for the Pic Nic, to be held on the 23d instant, to collect provisions, ?fec.: James II. Cobb, Ch'n; James M.

The lightning wings of the telegraph have borne to you long before this can reach you, the news of Lane's invasion and Titcs' defeat. You have, of course, been in possession for some time of the various exaggerated stories which purport to be "full details," <fcc. As I happened to be personally concerned in a portion of the j affair, I will be excused perhaps for claiming to be reliable authority. For a long time we continued to receive dispatches at this place, of the progress of Lane's army through Iowa, Nebraska, and the Northern part of this Territory. At last they were reported to be at Topcka, and on the same da}' six spies were captured at this place, trying to make their way to Lawrence by the river road. These men were closely examined and released by Col. Titus* orders, on the promise that they would not take up arms against the U. S Government again. They were afterwards j seen fighting against the Colonel, whose humanity saved them from being hung, and when ho fell into their hands, they j irau iaii/im* il.a e 111 i ' it vi v iuuuvou ah me w j xji iiung lino i uang him!" They reported that the whole of Lane's force, to the number of 500 men, had, that morning, left Topeka on their way to Lawrence (key supposed. The next day a message arrived stating that Theadwkll's camp was surrounded by companies of Abolitionists, stationed about a mile off, and that an attack was expected every moment. Col. Titus immediately called for volunteers to go to the rescue, and succeeded in raising 19 men, some being mounted bare-back and without bridles, and others riding double. They were armed with musket?, rifles and repeaters, and at eight o'clock at night set out on this daring, and I must say, rash expeditionBeing engaged in practice in the country all day, I knew nothing of this movement until after the party had left a half hour, when learning that they intended passing Capt. Walker's house, and knowing that a large body of men was stationed there, I headed a small guard and hastened after them to give warning of the danger. But I was again disappointed, and the gallant Colonol and his brave followers went on their perilous way, heedless of w!'at was preparing for them. On reaching the camp of Capt. Andkb soy, U. S. Dragoons, about two miles from Treadwell's camp, (twelve miles from town,) they learned that the enemy to the mtimber of 400, had marched upon TreadWell at about twelve, o'olock that day, and -- rr--- f HUM> IW JLHttAVWSLL UOU DDI OU 111611, pOODy armed, without defence* save r small log house, atvd prov is ion 5 for one day ouly, be bid "broken cp bis camp and Bed.

Trrua returned by the whw? route, which was to come hi to mmforhikrtti a little 'beloVr -V*UhM{a leadkr among the Abolitionfrte# Wd to piitt j full speed, when suddenly turning 2l coiner . of the fenev they found themselves surroun- ; (led by a large body of horse. The command was given to form on tho opposite side of (ho road and give battle, when a volley was fired on both sides, and Tires commanded his men to charge. For fully a quarter of a mile up tho road, sheets of flamo burst out from both sides, the balls whistled around them thick as hail. One man (Sistkiuir, of Ga.,) had his horse shot from under him. Ho ran to a cornfield and succeeded in making his escape, thoucli tliey pursued hotly, and sent a volley like hail after liiin. Andrew Preston, of Va., had a Sharp's llifle hall through the fleshy part of his leg. Wimdeui.ev, of Ala., had hia kuuukles skinned. Ci.owes, of Va., was on a slow jade, and being far in the rear, was surrounded and taken prisoner, Ono of the enemy was killed dead and several wounded. The party reaehed Col. Titus' house at about threo o'eloek, and hastened immediately to town to alarm tho citizens. 1 was on picket duty the whole night, and when tho party left for town, I entreated the Colonel to march all his foot (sonio 15 men who stood guard at his house) back into town, and to stay there, lie said no, that ho should defend that position as long as he could, and thus save the town. It so turned out, but I regarded it as an unnecessary sacrifice of "ur brave fellows, another battle of the Alamo. The foot company at Tin s' were all Dutch, under the command of Col. PoNAi.nsoN*, and as they all got tight, and did nothing but shoot at my picket all night, I begged the Colonel to go to town and let the Dutch go where they pleased. At daylight, Tin's and six men returned to his house, aud giving up ail idea of danger, went to sleep. In an hour nioro the enemy were upon them, and the rattle of small arms awoko them to find the slopes around covered with men. Throe Dutchmen and n young man l>v the name of Owens were at tlio tents, about two hundred yards from the house, and in the woods. One of the Dutch was shot tlirough the head in trying to reach the house, and the other two were take prisoners. Tlicy escapcd at the end of the battle. Owens cscaped. Of the 18 men in the house, ten were Dutch, and they immediately got under beds and under the floor. Their constant cry with tears in their eves was, " Hang out! hang out!" meaning " hang out the white flag." What a mistake ! At the first fire, Titcs killed a Captain SiiOMnnAV, and WiMnEM.ey unhorsed another. He was wounded in the side, and is supposed to be dead. Titus and Wimheitliiy continued to fire from the upstairs, until Titcs was wounded in the light hand and shoulder. They fought down-stairs af- | ier mac. ror two nours tlic enemy poured an incessant shower of bullets into the doomed house from every quarter. They got into the barn and stables, and thus fired from a distance of twenty steps. A six pounder was placed a hundred and fifty yards ofl', and sent balls and grape shot crashing through the building. Some of the men begged to be allowed to surrender but "Wi.MnKiu.EY insisted 011 holding out longer. A cannon ball struck a beam behind WlMRrcnt.KV iltlil kimfL-Pil Kiiri il^un TIic same load contained grape shot, a handful of which lodged in the thigh of M. M. Hoi-skv, of Ga. It was the determination to hold out to the last, but the order was given to roll a load of hay up aud set the house on fire. The white flag was hung out, and the savages rushed up I and commenccd the work of plunder.? j They first asked for Mrs. Titus, but that lady had luckily gone to Westport about half an hour before the battle, in the stage, under a feigned name. Insult and uhuse was heaped upon the prisoners, and one of the enemy actually had hia arm shot off under the impression that he was a prisoner ! Provisions, horses, arms, ainuuition, tenia and everything about the liousc, even Mrs. Titcs1 dresses were taken off. The boys who were boarding with Titus lost everything. The officers complimented Titus and his men very highly, and treated them with the most humane consideration and respect> while the men acted like wild beasts. The enemy would have marched immediately i^pon the town, as it was their original intention to do, but a timely shower of rain saved ub. We had about 150 men, at least fifty of whom slipped off. in various directions, about twenty rounds of amuuition, and no defense but two log houses on the river. We certainly would have lost the town, but could not bavo been taken. The enemy continued to threaten us for nearly a week. In the mean time an exchange Of prisoners was cffoctcd, we delivering up six, who had been concerned in the late Franklin affair, and the little Howitzer that was taken at Lawrence in May last, while they gave up the 10 in their possession. Nothing but the imminent danger in which Col. Titus and his men were of being hung, could possibly excuse tbis step of our late Governor. He released men held on a writ issued in the name x>f the Government, for high crimes against that Government..

The recent occurrences in Congress and in Kansas, seem to have formed the minds of all I meet lo the conviction that llie days of the Union are numbered, and that it is only loft us now to proparo for the event. Such has been my own conviction for a long time, but men who have been more hopeful, look upon the consummation as a fixed fact, and 1 anticipate a greater unity in public sentiment at the South than has ever existed before, whenever the occasion fur its expression comes. Col. Orr, in his speech yesterday, at the review in l'ickcns, gave utterance to the opinion that the time for action has about coino. at.
