ABBEVILLE BANNER. WILLIAM O. DAVIS, EDITOR. THURSDAY MOBNXG, OCT. 2, 1856. RELIGIOUS. We are requested to state that Rev. E. M. Mohlkv will preach at tho 1'oor House (Jlinpcl on the lirst Sunday in October next, at 11 o'clock A. M.; and that lie was providentially prevented from fulfiling his last appointment there. TAKEN UP. Our space is occupied with communications. We mti.it again request correspondents to remember that brevity and pointedness are more esteemed than anything else In a newspaper article. Know yo not that Jong winded effusions are seldom read, except by those who writo them ? CORNER STONE. Tho corner stone of tho new University .

Wo attended the Drill at this place on Tuesday l:?st. Maj. Gen. McGowan* reviewed in the abscnco of Gen. Wkavkii.? At tho close of the roview, Gen.

IIaynk, S. G. Couiitexay Co., propose to commcnee in Charleston, a monthly periodical, about the first of January next. It is intended to make it Southern, and not the organ of any section or party. From the character and ability of these men, we may expect something that shall meet the literary and scientific wants of the Southern public. A CHANCE FOR INVESTMENT. By request, we give place to the following notice: "The proprietor of the Independent Press, expecting to be absent for the most part of the next two years, will sell the establishment, "lock, stock and barrel," on accommodating terms, if application be made before the 25th of October ensuing. "There is no country paper in the State now paying better, or promising to pay bettor, tlian the Press, and our only reason lor desirinir to sell is a? above stated. Anv . , 7 I one desiring to engage in the business, and nerve his country in a highly honorable capacity, is invited to call and see us, or communicate by hitter. If we cannot satisfy a sound judgment that the Press is worth what wo ask for it, of course there will be no tnide." ADVERTISEMENTS. AVo would refer to a long list of advertisements this week. Bahkuloo ?fe Waddki.i. have recently opened a Commission House in Columbia. These men are favorably known to us, as well as to many citizens of this District. Barnes Jones, of Augusta, have formed a co-partnership in the same business. One of the firm is a native of this District, and no doubt will endeavor to givo satisfaction to any who may favor j mem wiiii consignments. Jekfeiis & Cotiirans, of Charleston, arc too well known to need commendation from us. Perry m a n ?fc W a ller, of G recn wood, propose to do something handsome for their customers. If you go about them, you can't resist the temptation to buy. Slaoer & Levingston, of this place, have a place in the picture. Dou't forget io read their advertisement. A FLR?, On Sunday night, says the Carolina Times, the alarm of fire was given, and on .inquiry we found the store of Mr. Thomas Frean, temporarily occupied by Mr. A. It.

I seize a few moments of relaxation from enmp duties, to writo you a slioit. account of tlio turbulent affairs that have taken place in the last two or three weeks. You must excuse my pencil sketch, in consideration of the unfavorable circumstances under which I write. Within about two weeks of the defeat and capture of Col. Tirca and his little hand, the nro-slavul-v mcll ill vnrirme ivirle A ' I'?-' of ilio Territory, nml Missouriaus from the Borders, assembled in arms in various places for tlio purpose of waging a regular warfare against Land and his army. Gen. Atchison, at the head of 1,300 Missouriaus, marched from West port (live miles helow this place,) and in a few days reached Bull Crock, twelve miles helow Lawrence and thirty miles from West port. A detachinent of 250 vf his men under Gen, IIkid, defeated Bkown at Ossawalfamie, look tlic town and killed some fifty of the enemy. Tho Kansas militia assembled at Lccompton to the number of 700, under command of Maj. Gen. IIichahdsox and Brig. Gen. Maicsuaix. Nealy a week was passed in unnecessary inactivity, while I,A VI- WI1K ilWI-nncinr* liie f.vn./.c I J.a..ciiw and Topeka, collecting all the provisions that were accessible to him, and fortifying Lawrence. In the meantime, no communication was established between the two divisions of our army, nor were any regular steps taken to keep our men supplied in provisions and ammunition. Marshall and IviciiAitDSOx were both known to l>o men of no military capacity whatever, wanting in firmness as well as the business qualifications of a general. The consequence was that about 200 men under Col. Ci.akk.son*, from Leavenworth, refused to cross the Kaw and remained in camn on the other side. Tlte companies under command were mostly composed of South Carolinians, under 1 *ai.mini, kickdkkic, JkSIvIXS, Im.kming, Cu'll. J o x lis, 1 >l'cii a x an, Daiiuas, Kuwahiis and others. The Lecoinpton llilles under Doxai.usox, selected mo as their Surgeon, Drill-Master, and subsequently 1st Lieutenant. Most of tin; Abbeville company were in camp. Our first move was to march to Col. Tires', where we encamped two days. We then marched two miles further to Coon l'oint (where the Abolitionist Wai.kbu resided.) Some desperate men had the day before burned four or live abolitionists houses, robbing them of everything that could be taken, and laying waste the corn fields. This was a cause of of great disaffection in our ranks and several Missouri companies left us in conse ti ...i i... t -? urn iivjal uay, However, mo greatest mistake of all was committed. J'osted as \vc were on the California road, between Lawrence and Topcka, and directly in the line of Laxh's strategic movements, it was important that we should mainlaiit that position or take a point near Lawrence. Instead of that, we retreated two miles back and away from the road, and encamped at Gen. C lack's. Simultaneously with this movement, wc received intelligence of the breaking up of Atchison's command on Ihill Creek. That afternoon large parties of iho enemy, with wagons, were suffered to pass down the road to Lawrence, and the next morning we had trood evi dencc of the fact that we and the enemy had exchanged conditions?Lam-: \v;is now 011 the ollciisive, we on the defensive. At daybreak, a disgraceful retreat was ordered, and we marched back to Lecompton. We had not arrived there over two hours, before Lank appeared before the town with S00 men, and demanded the surrender ol certain prisoners in our charge. Fortunately, we were saved from further embarrassment by the prisoners having been released that morning. We had but 330 men, badly posted, scantily supplied with ammunition, and with scarcely a passable officer. Lane's men, on the contrary, were splendidly drilled and Hushed with the moral victory already gained. They were posted on the side of a high hill, overlooking the town, and were completely concealed in the bushes and weeds. We were totally exposed, and the ltifles, acting as skirmishers, were within eighty steps of the enemy's line. I had command of the lea wing ot tlie advance, and attempted to throw tliein across a ravine, so as to be nearer tlic enemy and more covered ; but lo my surprise, I found them lying flat on the very ground I intended to occupy.? Three of my men disobeyed orders and killed three of the enemy. We could distinctly hear every command given by their officers, and were certain that at any moment that the word "fire" was given, 500 Sharp'*) ltifle balls would be hurled into our ranks at close range. The right wing of our advance, covering the right wing of the line, were about three hundred yards from us, and at right angles, and, I learned, in an equally perilous position. A deathlike suspense hun<r ovpr n? ??- ? 0 .... .w IVI null IJ* Jill hour, while flags of truco passed nnd repassed between the Generals. Lane was not satisfied with the conditions proposed, and was making a few preliminary preparations for the attack, when Col. Cook, of the U. S. Dragoons, arrived with 500 troops, at the requisition of the Governor. At his command, Lake withdrew his forces, ^ ?vfis sorry that lie did so, for I know that the t^-^Would arrivo in time to gain us a* decisive although *we would have suffered severely, ^ gain(jj*" but little credit.

Wo have boon here now two days, and will march at j day-break in the morning. Tattoo has beat an hour ago, and all the men arc asleep. (ien. Keid is in command, and, it Is supposed, has 1,200 men liere, rttul rapidly in- j creasing. To-morrow (the 13th,) is tho day appointed for a general rendezvous, and from accounts received, wo will have at least 2,000 men. Most of tlio Missourians are steady, middle-aged men, and a great many, men of property. Tlicy arc determined to retrieve the character which the former army lost. The only fear is that the Governor will interfere, and as he has 1,300 U. S. troops at his command, his interference would be fatal to us. 1 was a' Leavenworth City on Tuesday morning last, when Ciov. Gkakv arrived.? lie was loudly called for, and made a short speech, Jl?? declared his purpose to he to enforoe the organic laws of the Territory at all hazards, and indicated his course by asserting that besides the regular troops at his command, he had the power to enrol 100,000 men for the purpose, which power 1 he intended to use if necessary. All liked the tenor of his speech, but I observed that '> he did not commit himself as to his course towards our nrim? T f...... ?!...? ...:n l - ...... I. ?. tviu tiidb nu nui L?y disbanded.

' Two South Carolinians (Col. lii.AS.six~ camk and Ciipt. 1)k Treville,) liavo just ar- ! lived hi my marquee, and report that 1 I'ai.mkr'.s company, of 30 men, were ordered to leave Leeomplon by the Governor, and that they encamped the first night twelve miles from town. During the night, the sentinel being asleep on his post, 1T0 | Abolitionists slipped into their camp and lay there unperoeived until morning.? ; When the boys awoke in the morning, they '> attempted to resist, but after a short light, ' in which .Ions* Jackso.v, of S. (J., was kil- J ; led, and CJinnox, of Va., mortally wounded, j they were all taken prisoners. They weie I stripped of everything?teams, arms, cloth- | ing, provisions?and left barefooted to walk ' to Leavenworth. Our men are beginning! to learn, from sad experience, the folly of ; lunching in small detached companies.? j < This affair, however, is looked upon as an ' indication of tho' disaffection of the Gov- J eruor towards the militia.

Who can give the solution to j 1 this phenomenon of human nature? It'' y I ( was not exhibited in the days of "71. No ; man in those days (as one of a people,) j ( sullered his moral, personal or political 1 \ right to be infringed, without resistance, i : Now, no act of injustice can arouse us ton i 1 viiKiicauon oi our rights, aye, of the safety of our families and of our cliiklrcn. Sir, i there can be no mistake as to the result of 1 the present agitation in our country ; and , had I no other reason for my conclusion, ^ than the increased opposition to us within , the last ten years, should it annihilate the j l.ist vestige of a Republican Government, 1 would cut the cord that binds this one. "Well do I remember the very first intimation of opposition to our institutions, which met my ears. Since then I have \vatched; with fearful interest, its increase, which has been regular and rapid. At first (i muu mis oiuy an occasional expression of s opposition; now it is the absorbing topic I of the entire press?of every organization, political, civil and religious?a general po- J lemical warfare. Sir, it need not be sup- t posed, as has been said, that the opposition to us is confined to a small faction at the v North. Let it suflice, that while wo are c insulted over and again with tho most in- j tolerable taunts, and acts of injustice, the c delegates from tho North to the National c Assembly?tho Federal Congress of tho I United States?met for tho good of tho r wholo nation, are avowed enemies to tho Southern States, and their wholo energy is J exerted for tho prejudice and overthrow of ' our most vital interests. Sir, ask your patrons?ask tho citizens g oi your i.Mstnct?ask the citizens of South C Carolina, and of tho entiro South, why C they pormit those who have no interest, in this matter, with them, to tamper with it, 'J till our soil (which I verily believe,) shall r bo drenched in blood. Besides, sir, what 8 greater outrage can a free peoplo suffer, \ than we have suffered at the hand of our f insolent and impertinent brethren (?) who, u exercising tho right, when slavery ceased to be profitable among them, of abolishing j it, and will not grant us tho same discre- o tion ? They have nothing to do with it? v it is not in their midst?it ia n?r n -- ? ?? ? j/VWU I ICS! ^ and individual property, recogniaod and r provided for by our National Constitution, aud yet their delegates assemble at Wattli- j ington annually, with ouo leading idea?r g tho abolition of slavery?tho property of a tho Soutborn people. Can it be that tho L term w slavery " contains in it the dement# n of destruction to tho most powerful Repub- ? lie the world has ever known! What heinous sin- <$an AhotHjcn. have discovered ; lurking within its *y?MogjM | k^nHa of politL-'iona. * / W~ - .... . vjy ... , ^ u .V*.i -I,-. promotion lias oaten tlieni up, niul now yawns to engulf their country. I say tlio sin lies in politicians?North and South? petty politicians (which term, when applied in modern times, means the embodiment of nil tlint can be done, whether foul or fair, for the attainment of :iselfish end.) There ia no remedy but a summary one. Tell the people to instruct and compel their Representatives and Senators to regard the word "slavery" when uttered by a North crn tongue, as treason to the South; and that they do not entertain or hear any petition, motion, resolution or bill, which in any way relates lo orellecLs the interest of that institution. If it be persisted in, let Abolition feel tlie eloquence of silence on the part, of our Representatives, because it is treason, ami lie must answer to an indignant and outraged South. Sir, I ask again, why is it that the people submit to these outrages now, when they would not in former days ? Here is the answer: It is because they aie not informed of their danger. Politicians, on whom they have heretofore relied, as faithful watchnu-n,are false and unreliable; they have not. given the alarm at the approach of the enemy ; they have not told the poo [no 01 me odious doctrine of *'S<piattcr Sovereignty," countenanced even l>y the Federal (jovcrium.nt, in tlio Territory of Ivans-is; they liavo not told them that tlio Federal Government itself is operating secretly against their interest, and in favor of abolitionists; in a word, that the combined powers and authorities of the nation uro planning their destruction behind a mask. Tell them of the facts, and they will see their danger. .11* NIL'S. J'l'mil Ihr J.tiltmixilillr ll> r-tltl. A CARD. Tt seems that some one has written a letter to the Kansas volunteers, statini; that [ have been canvassing the 1 Strict, iind everywhere making wholesale charges igainst tliem, and saving that none but ihe lowest class and scrapings of the State lia<l ^otie to Kansas; that I should have said Lien. Jones' Company were driven from the territory on account of their lawlessness and kul conduct. In reply I can only say, that I have never used such language, or made such charges and that there is not a word ! r>f truth in the whole statement. I have not been canvassing the District it all, and tlie only speech 1 have made, jut of court, within the last two years, in Circenville District, was an address on the fourth of July last, l?y appointment of my ellow citizens. In that address I expressed ny decided conviction that Kansas would 10 a slave-holding Slate. That I was anx <in id ouiuiicrii men emigrating mere, ] villi their families and slaves; men who rould cut. the forest and plough up lie prairies; hilt that I had no hope of seong llie Territory permanently settled by the lolunteers who had gone there. They were nostly young men, without families, and maccustomcd to labor, and that they were lot the men t<> endure the fatigues and hard ihips of a pioneer life. In a short time hey would be returning home. 1 also exprssed my entire confidence in he ability of the General Government to naiu'nin the peace of the Teriitorv, and eiiorce its laws, without the aid of men or noney from South Carolina. That, already, ill armed bands of Volunteers had been ordered to disband or leave the Terrilorv.? rhe last accounts wore, that (!??. Jones' Joinpany had returned to the Missouri line, vhere they directed their letters l<> l>u .sent, uid that they were writing home for mole noney. This is the substance of what T said in ny address on this subject, and which was nade without note or word in writing.? ?'or its truth, I appeal to the thousands who vere present, aud heard it. I hope the papers, which have published he false, and slanderous statement made in eferencc to this matter, will do me the ustice, to copv this Card. li. V. PKKUY. Granville C.
