PUBLIC CORRUPTION.
I 'I lie V i>luinlii:s ft; a ) Jiiitrx, a.s appears from
J site following, has I>nt n poor opinion of the pub!
lie virtue <;f tht; people of tile United .Slates:
Tins corrupt !>i?<l venal tendency of the
; people is lull mi outgrowth of lung standing ami
universally prevalent causes. And politic r< Ueiieratitili,
if it is over accomplished through
any other ordeal than a national crisis, must be
l>y menu* as gradual in their operation as those
lli.it have Mi thoroughly vitiated politic morals
and marred 1 he who[e.soiiiclies.s of public virtue.
The providences attending the dawn of our nationality,
iiiighi furnish a reasonable hopo of the
iiiaii.'iiratioii of an era like ili.it succeeding tho
j l'ioie<taut Reformation, which Kent its vitalizing
; em-rjiy thronuh every department of tcience, pel- ;
I ilie,-, and religion."
j It is the remark of some writer lhat no peopl?*
ever were venal and corrupt except their
demoralizing iinpi'c9*iou3 were engendered by
a corrupt and venal government. If our eo
temporary would but letleil properly upon the
causes of corruption, we suspect thai they roithl>
to a greater or less extent, bo found in the defalcations
of dcniigogues. whom the people choose
a< their agents to conduct the affaitd of government.
Corrupt a government, and you elleclually
corrupt the people who live under tlia^
government. To this we may ultributo (lie ovil
tendencies of the times, rather than to an inherent
persistency in wrong doing among the masses.

The most generally ii?iV|ili;il theory is that thioc
lii?hts arc prdiluccl l>y tiiu rcllcciionof t!io urn's
rays from the snow flakes ami icebergs near the
North Pole. The following extract from llio
Amcrican IZiiftfi'lo/m <//<i embraces rather a historical
tkct-ih ol the Aurora, withuiil attempting
to explain the phenomena:
The curliest accounts are tlm*.; of Aristotle*
who well ileseriheil the peculiar phenomena re
soiuMiug tlaine inmgieil with smoke, seen on
mini nights, or like stubble seen afar "11', ami
present inj? purple, bright ! ? ?!, a:id blond colored
hues. In tiiany <>f tlie ancient classics nil occasional
reference is mude I" il, and in ilm chronicles
of the middle aires it is frequently recoj;
nized in the super.-titions descriptions of the
irlcamin-r swords of tin* atrial hosts. In 1 ,'iliil,
iieeordiiijj l<i authentic descriptions, it was seen
in Loudon in the form of l?ni-ninjr spears. In
1 .">71 it. was see11 hy Slow, on November -I. lie
slates in his annals, * thai strange impressions
ol lire ami sun ke were seen in tiie air to proceed
forth from a black cloud in the North toward
the South, that the next night the heavens from
all parts did seem to burn marvelous ra^'m^ly,
and over heads t?ir Humes from the horizon
round about rising Jid meet and there double
and roll otic in another, as if it had been in a
clear funiacp.' The next year, li?75, it was
twice seen in Holland, and the following description
of its second appearand) is |>ivell by
Cornelius (lemma, a professor in the University
of I.on vain :
'Tlie form of tha cliasma of September 2S,
followiud immediately after sunset, was indeed
less dreadful, but btill more confused and various
fur iu it were seen a ureal many bright
arches, out of which gradually bsucd spears.
...... UMOj , mil!
wliicli there were excursions of rays every way,
waves of clouds and buttles, mtiLii.-illy puiMied
ami tied, wheeling round iu u surprising manner.'
'On tin; whole, however, it is probable that,
no period has furnished more brillittnt displays of
llio aurora than the Inst one hundred years, and
the most inlert sting w is in ihu years lH3.r>, 1
and 18o7. In Northern Europe, Iceland Swollen
and Norway, it is of very common occurrence,
ami us seen and described hy Mr. liuyurd
Taylor in the winter of lH.r>0-\j7, 6f ivonderful
lieanty ; and Yet it is said thai prior to thu year
171 ii it was considered a great rarnv by the inhabitants
of I'psal; and To rites, the historian of
Denmark, and an Icelander, writing in 170i>,
speaks of his recollection of the time when the
meteor was an object of terror iu his native is
laud, in the eastern part of Asia, on the contrary,
it is said to have become less frequent and
less brilliant iu rccont times.*
l)oiti/hii' r.nxt on St/italh.r Sorereii/nfi/.?It
scetus that the Illinois Senator has published a
Icngthly article, false in its history and vicious
in its intentions, oil the territorial ijuestion, in
the in tensest of all lilacl: republican periodicals,
//?ir/i'rs Man\h'<'j This periodical is
rabidly anti-ileinoer'itie, so much ko that it in
not to be presumed that an essay of a truly dcinocrtic
character would be permitted to find a
place in its columns. Judge Douglas has, therefore,
chosen a iit organ for the promulgation of
his heretical opinion?.
On examining the contents of lliit< labored article,
in the preparation of which, if the Philadelphia
I'nus an<l New York Tribune are to he
believed, .lu.ly Ildii^liM ]iits devoted considerable
time, we observe that ho deliberately proceeds

The meaning of this publication is obvious.
Judge Douglas has discovered, as Homo men

him, that In: call make no comideruble breach
in the organization of (lie national democratic
party, lie therefore, desires to present a platform
upon which he hopes to rally a promiscuous
crowd of pretended democrats, black republicans,
and know-nothings, with a view to a
contemplated independent northern movement
for the Presidency, all of which was foreshadowed
months ago by the press. We predict,
however, a complete failure of the
scheme.
Willi the exception of the foolish and ridiculous
liotts, with liis " Ashlanders Cluli" of seven

not in the whole land a more busy, fussy, intriguing,

the people will turn their backs indignantly and

In despite of all their wire working nnd ingenious

(ion; nor nm I ncUviled by l'i* least iinkiii'io
iiii..!i!<-itnlilciicss lowiii-?ls liiv Mcllioilist ! '
hrctmcn !u the following reply lo certain stricture
upon the Kpiscopal church, which then
escaped the Reverend Treacher. I claim only
the privilege of supplying a few additional facts
to his statements then made.
And first, the Presiding Khler made and repealed
the assertion (hat the episcopal church I
very much regretted the secession of tlie .Methodists
from their hody. If he intchded to say .
that we regret this or any other division of the
church and body of Christ, nny rending of (he
seamless robe of II is religion, (lien heis right?we
are sorry ; and i( would be very easy to show
that John Wesley himself would have been as
much so. The Presiding Khler cannot be ignorant
of his recorded sentiments on this subject.
Hear his language <o the pr a?hers < f his society
in 171 1?" 1 exhorted (hen: (o keep (o the [
church, observing that Ihis wis our peculiar yl?ry
not to form any new seel, but abiding in our
ow/t church to do all men all I he good we possibly
could.Precisely the position lo which we
always believed that .John Wesley had been decled
l>y liivinc Providence?raised up lo infuse
life and spirit into the Knglish church, then under
admited declension. And the Methodists of
that day fully understood and appreciated their
noble mission. They resolved, without one dissenting
voice?
' It is l>3' 110 means expedient that the Methodists
should leave the church of Knglaud. They
that leave the church leave us."
Th is sentiment stands among the first rules of
their society, and Wesley declared that they
adopted it "not as a point of prudence, but as a
point of conscience." And when did John Wesley
ever abandon this position? Did lie not
hold it in 17S0, two years before his death ??
I declare once more that I live and die a member
uf the church of England, and that none
who regard my ju.lgment or advice will ever
separate from it." His followers did not regard
his advice, and God raised up others to do their
work, in and through the church of Kngland?
a church which is now leading the van in the
evangelization of the world. It is idle to urge
persecut ion us an all-sullicient reason for separation.
When did any true Ucformer ever escape
persecution? It is one of tlic necessities
of vital Christianity. Wesley bore it bravely.
If every persecuted christian felt himself justilied
in abandoning his God-appointed field of
labor and conflict, the Devil would very soon
clear the field, for persecution has always been
his favorite weapon.
We do, therefore, ferret the departure of any
body of christens from n work so plainy
marked ?ut by l'rovidcncc for them. We do regret
that churches which have so much in common
should lie separatedatall; that brethren in Christ
whose lieaiIs are warmed and whose lives are
directed by I lie same holy and Protestant truths>
should fail, for any subordinate reason, to see
"eye to eye," and live in unity and Godly love.
In such a regret all who love the Lord Jesus
Christ in sincerity will surely join us. JJut if
it be insinuated that our sorrow is that of chagrin
or mortification at our loss, or as an expression
of fear or weakness, I must beg to correct
the llevereud Preacher, and require him to
prove that he represents the Kpiscopal church.
13 idsu^ su-oiigvr now man wiicii
the followers of Wesley seceded. The old people
at home have been doing pretly well. They
are ready no ?loul?t by this time lo settle oil"
some more <>f their cliiMren.
1 iuii not an apologist, for the church of England.
There is much in her polity ami policy
thai as an American Episcopalian I might oh
ject to. But then I do not look for a perfect
church upon earth. And let us be just?was it
not a Methodist D. 1>. who a few years since, in
his own pulpit in Liverpool confessed that
'with all her dcfccts the English church contained
as much sound l'rolcstant religion in it
as the rest of Christendom besides." But the
Methodists over the water arc nearer home, and
therefore better informed as lo the working and
prosperity of the old mother church ; and perhaps
they oliey that Apostolic injunction more
closely, uud '-look not only on their own things,
but also en the things of others.." The Presiding
Elder must know that Methodism in Eug
land differs widely from American Methodism
still. Has it ever accepted Coke anil Asbury's
Kpiseopacy ? Wesley certainly never did, and
I hoy arc with him in this matter. ITow strongly
lie protested against this in his famous letter to
Asbury : "How can you?how dare you suffer
yourself to he clected a ISishop? I start at tho
very thought. For fuy sake, for (Jod's sake, for
Christ's sake pill nil end to this!*'
John Wesley would never have endorsed the
sentiment uttered hy the Presiding Elder at
Smyrna : " Yes, wc have eome out of the Episcopal
church, and have heen going off, off, off
from it, and will continue to go off." Why. Mr.
Editor, it strikes me this sounds very much like
a runaway daughter justifying her elopement
l?y abusing the old folks at home. Well, it
nmy l>c natural, but certainly not very gracious,
This "going off" is all very easy work?
the only difficulty is to Mop oursclvrs when wc
may want to do so. What, for instance, became
of that large body of "Protestant Methodists''
who went off in 18:>0, not from the Episcopal,
Inrt this Meth"6dist church, l>ccnlrsc their laity
were not represented in conferenc* ? And that
other division of the "Truo Weslcyan Methodists,"
who left in 1817, and wlro (as th?ir name
. j _\ 4 J.;' | ? , i i. . *?r
jHinr*j uiv sci-mng iu g?:i. kiiuk nearer 10 nesley?
Docs tlic Presiding Elder npprovc of this
"going off" too? In a word, I do believe that
our much abused Episcopal church has a much
better claim to tho title Wesleyan than any of
these bodies. At any rate, facts provo that
whether right or wrong, John Wesley is on our
side in this diacu*siou. To rcach us, he must
first be stricken down.

GoM is bo satisfactorily represented l>y
Horn's mine, that although there arc a number
of oilier occurrences of that metal, it is scarec
!y necessary just now to allude to tbetn, for
Ibis nrticlc has already outgrown its intended ~
dimensions. A description of this mine was
fjiven some time since in the Farmer and
I'l'aithr, and I believe you have furnished ^
your readers with extract*. The only matter <
iu connection with pil (o which I should ad- '
ditionally desire to call your attention, is the
fact that immediately south and south-cast of
I.owndesville there occurs a body of precisely
the same slate as at Horn's mine, striking somewhat
north of east. Of course my tiuie is too
1 ... i i 11. ... . y
iiiiuiio in inivu ueen niiic 10 insLiLiiic any un- ^
ilerground explorations sufficient to settle the <1
icuuoinic ipicstion suggested beyond dispute.? *
To enter into any mining operations for tlie '
purpose of actually determining tlie facts as to t;
the quantity of g?M present must l?o left to d
those whose interest are more immediately "
concerned. My serviced ill such cases must ro- ^
main indicative ; or the duties, labors and ex- j.
penses would be incalculable. I mention tliis e
on account of those misconceptions which oe- r
cur now ami then. In the case here referred
to there are siliceous beds or veins resembling
those of I)orn's and similar mines. They
abound too in the cubiform remains of ironpyrites,
and are thus of promising appearance,
although I do not know that any attention has t
been paid to them at this point ; though ill j
the same rock formation gold has been worked i
to a Binall extent north west, or rather west of '
Lowndesvillc.
Lead is found in a vein near Parson's Moun- (
tain on the lund of Mr. Isaac Kennedy. This (
vein belongs to a class which invariably in *
depth lcadsto copper. 1
Copper will I expect also be found in a vein
of Mr. Win. Hall's in the extreme northern
part of your district, not far from Kooky Hirer.
This vein also belongs to the Carolina Type, (
(see Report III.) and as far as it was possible
to judge from the mere outcrop is of a very
promising nature. Mr. llnll has commenced
underground explorntions.
"While on the subject of copper, I would beg
you to permit me through the columns of your
paper to correct an erroneous impression?to
me, I admit, diHicult to understand?which I J
?-...I . r i - i?
vu?i .vu ? iwciiv iiuiiuv Ui my last liepori
in another journal. I?y some very unaccountable
mistake it was supposed that I litid asserted
our State to be separated from the cupriferous
region by the Iilue Uidge, while I have cm- '
braced every single occasion, which was afforded
mc to express iny convictiou that good cop? ]
per veins on our si?lc of the I5luc Uidge are far <
more reliable than those which are worked 011
its western side. The Dine liidge is the divi- J
cling line between two grand typc3 of cupro- ,
iirous veins, which I described as the l)uek- <
town (Tennessee) ami the Carolina types?
classes especially ditferent, although both containing
the Jame metal. The Duektown veins
as far as it is possible to judge, of local formation
and limited downvhiM extent, while the
Carolina veins belong to the class of persistent j
or | .rmaneiit veins. The latter closely resembles
the most of the European copper veins,
which have been worked for centuries. As
yet the real ore which has been exported froi.i
Duektown in large quantities is merely deri- '
veil from tli.it portion of the veins, where the
action of the atmosphere and 6f water lias j
concentrated with a comparatively small space s
the entire quantity of copper, which was orig- '
nally diffused through a much gicater space.
It is what may be callcd a secondary ore. lie- s
low the action of corrodinir influences the un- f.
altered copper ore is so intimately mixed with
iron pyrites, that they have not been able to
make it available. Nor is it at all likely that
even this poor ore will conlinuc onward for
any great depth. The Third ltcport re fers to
Greenville and Pickens Districts, and it wait
Htated only wilh regard to them; that cop- '
per had not yet been found in quarrtrty. The
search for copper in those portions of our j
State, whero the metal is most likely to
abound has been exceedingly limited?gold
usually engrossing me enure nileiuiou ot those
interested in mining operations?so that we are i
forced to defer to the future almost ull practi- *
eal knowledge of the commercial resources of
our State in this rtFpcct. The prospect is how- ,
ver very promising. e
Iron occurs in magnetic, specular and hydra- '
ted ore in the vicinity of Calhoun's Jlills, not
in sufficient quantity however to be worked, {
XcYcrthelcft?t even if the ore were sufficient- f
ly ubundant, the still unabolished fence laws '
would prevent its being rendered available.
The}' have already proved fatal to the once extensile
iron production of Spartanburg, and
ccrtainly no iron production dependent on
charcoal could in iu struggling infancy resist
their baneful influence.
In Northern Abbeville occurs a fine poredlaili-clay,
which rnny some day be rendered
serviceable, especially as the fcliUjiar needed In
the manufacture of the better Kiudrf of crockcry,
abound iu its immediate vicinity. Some
very beautiful amethysts are found not far from
the same spot; but I have already detained
your attcntiou too long to desire to extend
mi-ae nun's any uiriiicr, uiiu incrciore ueg leave
to sign myself, yours,
