The Young Statesmen of the BouthIn
contemplating the condition of the o
South* nnd calculating the chances of its es- fl
cape from the difficulties which besot it, one d
finds some assurance of safoly in the real, c
courage nnd fidelity of the young statesmen ii
who nro about to control its destiny. The e
day of apologies for slavery and cumpromi-' s.
scs with Abolitionism, is past, never to return
; and with it those timid, time serving t
politicians who have masked so much of scl- \
tishuess under so much of prudence, nre v
gone never to re-anpear upon the stage of n
action. A new school of statesmen, profess- a
ing a truer philosophy, atul animated by n I
far nobler spirit, have won the confidence s
and admiration of tho people, nnd will I s
henceforth be recognized as the leaders of i
the South. There are such in Virginia; but '
it would be invidious to indicate them by i
name. Willi greater propriety may we <
distinguish tliovo of other States who promise
most for the future of tho South. 1
Foremost among tho rising uier. of tho '
S >uth stands lveitt, of South Carolina, Clay, '
of Alabama, and Vorkins, of Louisiana.
They are nil of the type of character which
thoJSouth needs at this crisis. Fearless and

earnest in their convictions, learned, logical,
eloquent?they are surely reserved to play a i
prominent part in the future history of the
South. f
Under a mild and modest exterior, Per- <
liius conceals a dauntless heart and the most t
aspiring genius. As Judge in his own i
State and member of Congress, from which o
he voluntarily leiired, he has given abun- $
dant proof of his uncommon qualities.
Clay i-? siiil in the Senate, of which he is, f
perhaps, the youngest member. Early at- C
inched to the States Rights school of l)e- 1
mooraey, he was distinguished for courage <!
and eloquence before tlie path of promotion I
was open to bis ambitious step. Then at c
sine bound lie attained a position which men
ordinalily win by long years of intrigue h
and party service. In the Senate he has v
delivered two speeches of remarkable ahil- 1
ily?one a withering and overwhelming o
denunciation of the miscreant Hale, the olh- n
er an argument of great research and power,
in defence of slavery and the South.
The name of Col. Keitt is more familiar !'
in this State, because of a speech which he '
delivered during t li o last session of Congress, j1
and which has boon universally read and "
applauded in tbo South. It is but a just '
compliment to say, that of all tlio speeches M
ia vindication of slavery which have ever i
been heard in Congress, this is the most dis- | ''
tingnislicd by vigor and originality of I1'
thought, affluence of illustration, and fervor j'
of eloquence. Col. Keitt is hardly yet in l"
the prune of life; and with such habits of ?
study and micIi resources of intellect as he |''
possesses, lie cannot fail to run a glorious j']
career. s]
Tim S mill appreciates and will cherish j11
the?o gallant champions of its rights and

The Lawless State of Things in Utah i*
Washington letter-writers say the condi- {
tion of ntlairs in Utah has claimed to some w
degree the attention of the Administration, Ial
hut no decision has been come to in the I
matter, the position of foreign affairs being j '
eotisidered of greater importance, and en
grossing a large share of the time of tlie | !n
1'resident and Cabinet. So soon, however, [ls
as the Chinese, and other questions of mo- 01
inert affecting our foreign relations, arc put e<
i:i a fair train of settlement, Morni >ndoin 11
will receive the consideration of the Govern-1
incut to the degree which if deserves.
The lawless state of things in Utah lias
forced the resignation of Hon. W. W.lJrum- U~'r
mond, one of the Justices of the Supreme j
Court of that Territory, whose reasons for | ,TV
such a course are of a nature to show the j l)r
necessity for th.) interference of the Federal I
<iovoninieut. This statement adduces that!
the Mormons look to Brighum Young alone ,,,
for la w, considering no act of Congress j V(.
binding ; that there is a band of men set .
apart by special order of the church to take I
the lives and property of all who may qnes- j t(l|
lion the authoilty of the church; that the co
records of the Court have been destroyed, to
and the Federal officers insulted for ones |()
tioning the treasonable act; that said hede- ,,?
ral officers are constantly insulted, harassed j,],,
and annoyed. ami daily compelled to hear !
the name of the Republic and the Chief Bx-! ,in
ccutive* thereof, living and dead, not exclud '
ing our lielnvud W ashingtnn, slandered and j ?(
abused by the masses and the leaders of the iff
church, in the most vulgar, loathsome and i ,
wicked manner. | i(|
But the lime is nearly at hand when these j u,
trill ucers of all that is good, and workers j9
of evil, will receive the flue reward of their
deserts. The recent army order, for a move- jn
incut to the far West of a considerable number
of United States troops, is regarded as tu
intended for the special benefit of the " I.at- jn
tor Jbty Saints," as they term themselves. tj
I trust it may be so, and that Gen. Harney, t|(
whose field of operations lias been changed j r(,
V> the West, may bo invested wi'h the com-1 (r
mand of a body of troops sufficient to chas-! et.
tise these violators of the laws of God and j
man-, and traducors of the Republic. That ! j,,
hey deserve a sound thrashing is uinjues-j,^
tinned, and that they may receive it isconti- i je
deutly hoped for ami expected. Tire Admi-! jj,
n'utration would fail in its duly were it to
nugium to pursue suou a course to me inner

fencer of Tuesday, the 20th inst., gives the >
allowing account of a terrible stortn and
lestriiclion of property in that city and riinity
on the Saturday afternoon before result tig
in serious damage and an aggregate loss
overal thousand dollars. The Intelligencer "
ays:
We were unable at the time of our going i
o press with our Monday's issue to give =
he particulars of the tremendous storm |
rhich visited our city on Saturday after- ?
loon last. One would have supposed from
> view of the town on the next day, that^Atanta
had been the scene of a warlike as- r
nult with shot and shell. The streets were a
irewed with fallen chimneys and sign boards,
md fences were lying indiscriminately every
vhere. The rooting of depots and houses \
ind wails of buildings blown down, present- r
toi a most dismal sneotaele
Tlio gable end of the brick house of Rev. "
vwnnet Anthony oil Marietta street was ?!
Mown in and his family much exposed to t
the violenco of the storm. A trortion of the
everend gentleman's family were sick, which
'endered the disaster more calamitous.
The handsome residence of Judge liny- j(
Ion on the same street also suffered great
lamage from the falling of the brick and '
uortar, through the roof of one of the wings.! r<
The most serious destruction done by this > p
dorm was that done to the new baptist g
Church, whose roof, <kc.. were blown across
he street towards Dr. Rhea's house damag
ng the brick wall in fiont. The loss of the
liurcli will, we regret to learn, be over
si 200.
In addition to the damage done to those M
>Hi'ties and to the City Hall, the Medical tl
'ollege. the State Road Depot, the Georgia b
tailroad Depot, the Washington Hall. Swan
Is Co.'s IvOttery Office. Wallace's Warelouse,
and many of the houses of private Sl
itizens have been greatly injured. "
The storm continued with fury and vio- ti
enco about half an hour, and the rain lasted fo
nth intervals throughout Saturday night.
"his calamity will be a memorable one in
ur city, though we arc happy to learn that
o lives were lost.
Cot.. IIknton Against Emancipation*.? n

teuton. " the late abolition movement in st

We have mentioned, in our correspondence,
this hotel, kept by J. W. Gamui.k,

traveling publio. As a temperance man,
and a lover of good order, we could but notice
the quietness that prevailed about it on
the Sabbath, contrasting very greatly from
many oiner cny Hotels we Iiavc stopped nt.
To Mr. Gamble is indebted the introduction
of iho custom of closing bar rooms in Charleston
on the Sabbath, lie was the first one
to try the experiment, and is now reaping
the reward for such noble conduct. We un
dcrstand that, after finding that Mr. Gamble
was able to withstand the hue and cry raised
against him, in consequence of this step, the
city father# thought other hotel keepers could
do the same thing, and have passed an ordi.
nance against the opening of bar-rooms on
tho Sabbath. As is always the case in such
matters, violations weie made, but several
now stand indicted for the offence, with a
fmo prospect for their couvietion.

Chaulkston, April 25th, 1857. J
We have been comfortably quartered for
the past few days at this well-kept and wellpatronized
hotel, Mr. J W. Gamble, proprietor.
It is situated on the corner of Church
and Queen streets, and is convenient to almost
all the principal business parts of tho
city. We are pleased to see it growing so
rapidly into public favor. The faro is excellent,
the rooms largo and neatly kept.
Business men and others coming to the city
win iiihi me uakter House all tli.it is desirable
in a first class hotel.
We have seen much to interest us since
we arrived in the city. Opportunities have
been presented for visiting several of the
public and charitable institutions of the city,
which, on former occasions, in consequence
jf other engagements, we were compelled to
lony ourself. On Thursday afternoon, in
company with the niembcts of the Grand
Division of the Sons of Temperance, wo vis
ted the Orphan House, to which the mein>ers
of that body had been kindly invited

The ditVercnt exercises of the schools

rom the teacher is all 'hat is required to in

of the children was gone through
ilh to the complete satisfaction of all presnt.
The answers, embracing questions in
rilhmctic and geography, were, in every intance,
correct. The company was highly

[irl, now about two years old, which was
ound in n basket, when it was only a few
lays old, at the door of the institution. A
>ote was also found with it, praying that it
night be " reared up in the fear and admo

he note found with it. Another little

and expressed, in his happiest style, the gratification
enjoyed by the Grand Division during
their visit
On Thursday evening we attended the
exhibition of the C.idets of Temperance, at
the Institute llall. More than two thousand
persons were present, and never have
we seen an audience more delightod or better
entertained. Tho occasion was rendered
doubly pleading by the appearance, upon
Ms
tho stage, of44 Little Liuik," a child a little
more than four years old, whose remarkable
talents ure beyond any child's we have ever
seen or heard of. ller little soul is fullv
engaged in the temperance cause, and may
heaven's kindest blessings attend her efforts.
At the conclusion of her arklress the audience
testified their high appreciation of her
raerils by long and continued cheering, nod
she retired from the stage amid a shower of
boquets. The Grand Division, before its
close, voted a gold modal to this u child of
the temperance army." A most deserved
compliment. The addresses and dialogues
of the members were well received. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon the
Worthy Patron of Palmetto Section, Mr. J.
Alma Piilot, for his indefatigable efforts to
promote the temperance cause among tbe
youth of this city. Ilia labors bavo been
signally blest, as the largo number of intelligent
and enthusiastic boys who aie now
connected with tho order in this city fully
testify.
The banquet given to the Grand Division
on last evening was a finely gotten up affair.
Tho young gentlemen and lady visitors of
Palmetto Division amused themselves by
" tipping upon tbe light fantastic too," until
tho wee hours of the morning warned them
to desist. As the company were dispersing,
T J. Warrkn, of the Camden Journal,
was called upon to address the ladies, which
duty he performed in a very pleasing and
delightful manner. Tho entertainment given
to tho Grand Division has been exceedingly
well done. We shall long remember,
with pleasure, the happiness wo have
experienced.

Fountain* ok Blood in a Caykrn,?E.
G. Squires' notes on Central America describe
a wonderful ett'usion of a thiid resembling
blood near tho town of Vitud, in tlio Stale
of Honduras. It appears that there is continually
oozing and dropping from the roof
of a cavern a red liquid, which upon filling
coagulates so as to precisely resemble blood.
Like blood, it corrupts, insects deposit their
larvic in it, and dogs and buzzards resort to
the cavern to eat it. Attempts have several
times been made to obtain some of this liquid
for amilyzatiou, but in all coses without success,
in consequence of its rapid decomposition,
whereby the bottles containing it weie
broken. The small cavern or grotto during
the day is visited by buzzards and hawk.",
and at night by a multitude of vampyre
bats for the purpose of feeding on the unnatural
blood. It is situated on the border
of a rivulet, which it keeps reddened with
a small How of the liquid, which has the
color, taste and smell of blood. In approaching
the grotto a disagreeable odor is observed,
and when it is reached thero may ho
some pools of the apparent blood in a state
of coagulation. Dogs out it eagerly.
I lie peculiarities of tho liquid are considered
due to the rapid generation in this grotto
of some very 'prolific species of infusoria.
The California State Journal, remurking on
the above, observes that the cstero of the <
town of Monterey contains a species of blood
red infusoria, (the larvae of water insects,)
which at certain seasons of the year smells
precisely like fried fish, or, on exposure in a
vessel, like putrid fish. In soino seasons it
has been found dried in ilukcs, and of the
interne color of vermillion.
Haii.road Accidknt.?Wc learn that as
the accommodation train on tho Charlotte
and South Carolina Railroad was passing
Campbell's Mill, yesterday, the car in iimmediate
connexion with tho locomotive was
observed to ho on tire. Every etfort was
made to save, it, but without nucce.su. it
burned down to the truck's edge ; and with
the car were consumed about thirty hales of
cotton. The paper on board, about sixteen
bundles, was saved.
The conductor secured a box car from a
station ahead, and sont the passengers on?
himself remaining on the spot to tako cliArgo
of the remaining cars.
We understand from a passenger that no
blame w hatever can properly attach to tho
conductor, Mr. liosborough, in the matter of
the accident; lie was in a car in tho roar at
the time, and could not possibly have prevented
the fire. On discovering it, he used all
the means in his power to save tho property
under his charge. " Who does tho best his
circumstance allows, docs well."
