attempt of an organized j *?ang of abolition
rowdies.to disturb a public meeting whipli
bad assembled in that city, on the pmcediug
cv cuing, fur the purpose of hearing Judge
Douglas's promised address on the Nebraska
question. The following account of this disgraceful
oittrnge ou the constitutional rights
of an American citizen is copied from the
Chicago Times:
TiikMketinu Last Nigiit.?During tlic
whole of ycathr Jay expected meeting of
last night was tho universal topic of conversation.
Crowds of visitors arrived b^ tho%Bovoral
trains from tho surrounding cities and
towns oven froui jw far as Detroit and St.
Louis, attracted bjr tho announoemont that
Judge Douglas waste address his constituents.
During tho afternoon tlic Tiib*ic, true to
its fiendish instinct, issued, us a hvet clibrt to
create a disturbance, an mtlanimatary handbill,
headed l>y the exciting words:
"Organization of the' Irish body guard."
Asserting that an Irish body guard had
been organized to prevent Americans enteril|ff
or participating in tho meeting.
fho-cifect produced by tliis and other nefarious
means oil tho public mind will be
seen hereafter.
In consequence of tho extreme heat of the
weather it was deemed advisiblo to hold tin
mooting on tho outsidoof llio hall, instead of
tho interior, as had been announced.
At early candlelight a throng of eight
thousand persona had assembled at the south
part of North Market Ilall.
At tho timo announced the mayor of Chicago
called tho assemblage to order, and Judge
Douglas then addressed tho meeting. We
have been unable to prcparo in time for this,
morning's paper a full report of tho speech.
During thus far of his remarks he was frequcutly
interrupted by the gang or abolition
rowdies, incited thcrero by the infamous appeals
which foi weeks have been made to
them by tho organ in the city. Whenever
ho approached the subject of tho Nebraska
bill, an evidently well organized and drilled
lnxly of men, compi ising about one twentieth
of tho mooting, collected and formed into a

heard. They kept up tlu^disgrnccful proceeding
until after 10 uVlortc, refusing most
determinedly to allow ?>ne word to ba uttered
or bo heard by the rest of the meeting.
In vain did the mayor of tho city npjreal
to their fit-use of order, hut they refused to let
him he heard. Judge Douglas, notwithstanding
the uproar of these hirelings, proceeded
at intervals, lie told lliein that ho was not
unprepared for their conduct. 1 le had a day
or two 6inco received a letter written by the
secretary of an organization framed sinco lie
Hmval&vi thi3 city, fur the purposo of proventing
him froiu speaking. This organization
required that ho should leave the city or
keep silent; and if ho disregarded this notice
the organization was pledged, at the sacrifice
of life, to prevent his being heard.
He presented himself, he said, and challenged
tho armed gang to execute upon him
their murderous pledge. Tho letter having
been but imperfectly heard, its reading was
risked hv some of the orderly citizens present,
Uit the mob- refu sod to let it he read.
At length, at 101 o'clock, yielding to the
earnest appeals of his friends, Judge Douglas,
withdrew from the stand.

it was safe, and after leaving the offices
u^catcd tho examination. Just before reaching

OUR TOWN ELECTION.
The election on Monday last passed oil'
quietly. Although two tickets wcro before
the voters, there was no liquor issue, both
being opposed to liqpnsixu dooueuies, in
fact we have not heard of a man in Green
vine avow ins desire tor any bucIi tiling. A
few would be in favor of granting a limited
liceusc to the hotels, on the ground of expedioncy?the
love they have for travelers !?
Farther than that, wo scarcely believe there
is one who would advocate llic measure.?
We have no such things as groceries and
fashionable licensed bar-rooms! To clap the
climax, we recently heard of one, who once
attempted to keep an establishment of the
latter, and who perhaps approached as near
the mark as any one, declaring that u it was
just as impossible to keep a decent bar-room
as it was a grocery ! This was bis experience.

STORM AT CHARLESTON.
This city has been visited by 0110 of the
severest and most destructive storms which
has visited that port for perhaps half a century.
It commenced on Thursday morning
last, or rather about 12 o'clock Wednesday
night, and lasted until Friday at noon, raging
with tho greatest fury. Tho Courier
says that the damages in some points arc
| even Dcyona Uicir iirsl anticipations. 'J lie
shipping suffered a grcai deal. Tlie wharves
and building near tlio wharves are damaged
to an alarming extent. Sullivan's Island
was completely inundated, and a number of
houses washed entirely away. The Charleston
llo.tel was much damaged by the roofing
being blown off, and the consequent falling
of chimney-tops. A number of houses in
the city were blown down.

[iSouIActh Jiirfhti Advocate.
When we penued our first notice of A gro- 1
eery in Anderson, it was not done in order
to elicit a controversy with our friond of the
Advocate?far from it! Neither tvcrc we
harping over it as an indication of the downfall
of that place, nnd endeavoring to place
her lower in the scale of villages than tlint
which her merits had placed her. Because
such petty feelings exist with a few of her
citizens towards ttrccnvillc, wo linvo never
for onco permitted theiu to sway us in our
opinion of Anderson. We did it, not only 1
to show our sorrow at their erection in An- 1
dersdn, but of our contempt for them gener- '
ally, lie calls us meddlesome?an epithet (
by no means enviable, and one which wo do j
not remember its having ever boen applied 1
to us before. Nevertheless, in this instance, 1
as in cvory one touching the subject under
discussion, wo believe wo have a right to say i
what we j?lcasc about them, and so long as
we can stand vp wo intend doing it. We
shall never supj?ort any person or set of 1
poisons who would license doggeries, and
never cense denouncing tbcm niter they lind
licensed tliein. Tlio Advocate tells us tlmt |
their's was not a dry Couueil ! Why was \
it then, that licenses wcro not granted until ^
their term had nearly expired ? Why was '
it that the ]>crson who made application |
shortly after their election was not granted a f
license i Was it because lie could not bring ]
the proper recommendations, <fcc. ? Was (
there any dodging then ? When the four }
wardens were divided upon the question {
where was the Intendant? lie refused to t
vote! No 44 dodging " lately, however-?the <
Council came up like men! nnd without 1
dodging granted licenses. Where werc the *
dry men ? llad they left?or were they

wetbJ When we look into tlio matter w<J
can easily guess the motives which actuated <
the Council upon the recurrence of the ques <
lion before tlieni. Soino of theiu aro now *'
before the people, and they arc dry men no
longer, They fear to meet the issue before
the people. 1
A word to the editor. Wc would liko U> '
know what you mean by suggesting to the j
Council to have a delegation wait on us, and J
request our attendance in your village?? <
llavc you misconstrued our articles into an ?
assault uj>on Anderson and her interests, or 1
do you desire to run us off the track by taunt- j ]
ing us in such a manner? Greenville is] j
now, and has been for a great while, able to '
lose our services for a short time, but we i
think our presence would avail but little in 1
Anderson. It is well knowu what policy
wo would pursue, were we connected with
the "management of her affairs." With the ]
j>eoplo of Anderson (by no means excluding j
the editor) we desire to he uj>on the kindest 1
terms. Wo like Anderson, and hope that !
the exaggerated report of our opinion to the J
contrary will not have the effect of producing ,
an enmity against us from her citizens, for '
wo intend visiting her again, unices forcibly ]

and crew consist of citizens of tho

captain, their cngngcincfHs are- mode for

"If the rumors in circulation, however,
aro to bo believed, General Santa Anna will
never sec the pretty little craft bearing his
name among tuo vessels of his navy.
"It is said that Gcnorul Alvarez, the opponent
of Santa Anna, is now in this city,
engaged in fitting out an tinned expedition
against tho present Mexican government.?
Three or four vessels have boon named as
connected with this business, and among
others the propeller steamer Ifonjamin Frnuk
mi, which whs lorineny engaged m tlic trado
from New York to a Southern port.
4Sho has on board ten thirty-two pounders
and all tho nmtnuiiition requiieo f?wr a
naval engagement, if such a thing should
become necessary. It is further rumored
that she will sail from this port several days
before the Santa Anna, and take tho latter
vessel at sea. Her odicors and crow consist
of Americans, all of w horn are to be liberally
rewarded in case of success.
''The otlicr vessels of Alvarez's party are
said to be a ship, brig and schooner. They
are preparing for sea at some point on tho
North or East river, but tho work is carried
on so secretly, that the precise locality cannot
bo discovered.
MGen. Alvarez, though supposed to bo iu
Mexico worrying Santa Anna, it is stated
was seen in tins city several evenings last
week. Tho most interesting rumor of all is
that ho was constantly in company with
Santa Anna's friends. This has given rise
to a suspicion that Alvarez will make an
easy conquest of tho war steamer after her
departure from this port. It is even intimated
that there is an understanding between
the opposite parties to unite at sea and place
the Santa Anna in possession of Alvarez.
"Some of the seven million dollars paid by
tho United States to the Mexican government
for tho Gadsden grunt w ill likely to be
carried to Vera Cruz in the Santa Anna,
and tliis is also said to bo an inducement to
enlist Americans in tho expedition of Alvarez.
After tho eapturo of the vessel the

A colored woman and four children, said
to bo slaves, were rescued from their owner
at Alleghany City, Pennsylvania, on Monday,
just as they were about to start on the

Gazette says:
"A number of persons suspecting that [he
parties were slaves, scut a waitor to interrogate
the woman on tlio subject, and in Uio
meantime bad everything prepared to effect
their rescue should they turn out to be
slaves. The woman at first denied that she
was a slave; but being closely questioned
by tho'waiter, sho admitted that herself and
her chihlcrn belonged to the person with
whom they wero travelling, and further
Htatcd that Le was taking them out West to

ho had received to those outside,
a numbco of colored men took chargo of tho
woman and her children, and despito her
entreaties to be permitted to accompany the
man sho called her master, they wero removed
to a place of safety.
"ino owner gavo bis name as William

It is more valuable tliau copj>er. The prospect
for an abuudauco of copper ore is as
good in other shafts, now being sunk, as it
was some months ago in Mr. Moore's. In
the developments now being made, thero is
scarcely a useful or ornamental metal or substance
but has been moro or less found positively,
or by indication, to exist This
country, by these ex|?eriments, is developing
ikmv facts in mineralogy. Tho indications
of formation and outcrops aro contradicting
many of tho doctrines laid down in
the books of mineralogy and geology. And
tho theorist who lias obtained his science
from books only,will be confounded by the actual
demonstration* here made, in factor ucw
book will liuvo to be written to describe tho
minernl indications of thi9 region ; otherwise
scientific men will be at fault, or old
theories will not apply. A great want of
capital exists noro in older fully to dcvclope
our rich mineral resources. Scientific men,
heretofore, forming their opinions from
hooh? only, have not been favorable to Uio
opinion of n rich copper region in this country,
which, ncrliajss, has dctercd capitalists
from venturing the experiment The samo
opinions apply equally to Duck town, in Tennessee
; but bold cxjieriincnters have proved
the fallacy of theso opinions, niul have demonstrated
each place to abound with copper
sufficient to induco capitalist to take
hold with fine prospects of realising immense
profits. Formorly, I was doubtful myself
forming my opinions from books only; but
now I have no skepticism on tlio subject?
The facts are fully demonstrated, and I have
no doubt, when fully developed, this is the
richest mineral region in the United States.

writes to her own paper :
"My first contact with an abolitionist oocurrcd
on tlie care between Rochester and
Syracuso. At one of the stations two great
saucy-looking negro men caino into the ladies'
car and began lookingsabout for a sent.
No ono made place for them ; but those who
hud left their places walked hack to them
and stood guard over them. The 'colored
gentlemen' were not at all put out, but kept
walking up and down, looking for seats.?
My little boy said no 'nigger' should sit by
hiu>. Some of the passengers laughed, hut
others looked awfully offended. A white
woman that was sitting before me, and was
almost as ugly as Aunt Harriet Stowc, turned
fierce! v nn flio ??>'l

doubt as good as you, and better, but they
are not as good as my child, and shall not
sit by him.' If one could be annihilated by
a look of contempt, I should not bo writing
this. When the cars stopped at the noxt
station, my interesting neighbor got up to
leave, but, determined uot to lose the opportunity
of dropping a word in season to the
poor benighted aouthoner, canto up to me
aud said : 'You will find when you come to
dio that it matters not what is tlio color of the
face so that the heart is white. 'Madaui,' 1
replied, 'if old mother intended (he face to
be an index of the heart, she made a great
mistnko in not giving you a black one.'?
Just then the cars started, and she had torun,
leaving me victor."
