valsnohe:
It in a singular fact that those who have
heretofore been regarded as the most violent
Union men, are now the most ultra upon the
slavery question. We notice that the most
zealous supporters of the compromise of
1850-'51 are now the most hostile end inve
terate enemies of every description of oora
promise. 8 '
Ip Mississippi, we s>e proud to see that
lUkuy i)t the prominent members of the old
Union compromise party are now the staunch
advocates of resistance. The Jackson Flag
the Brandon Republican and the Port Gib
son Herald, the leading supporters of the
Union party in 1851, have plauted them,
selves on their rights and are for resisting
any further encroachments. They see thai
the compromise of 1851, instead of being m
u final adjustment " of the slavery Question.

.; Certain it is, that we find in Alabama all
Krtiea opposed to further concessions.?
tring h recent visit, we were no less surprised
than gmtified to find such a unanimi
tv of public sentiment. At Tuscumbia. we
fouhd CM. L. 11. Thornton, a most zealous
champion of the Sou'hem rights. lie seem*
to tliiftk that the crisis upon the slaven
question, which has been so long pending
befoie the country, has at length arrived,
and that it Irehoove* the peoplo of the South
to decide which is worth the tn??*t, the Con
titution or the Union. Col. Thornton was
a friend of the compromise, in the Union
trfiggle of 1851.
In Lauderdale county,'we did not find
. n single opponent to the admission of Kansas.
No Southern traitors were there to
join Alrolitionists in shouting 44 fraud " and
41 swindle " against the Lecompion Constitu
tion. Hon. William li. Wood, the old
wheel horse of Whiggery, the friend of the
Union, the leader of Americanism two years
ago. we found an unconipiotnising defender
and fearless advocate of 8outhern institutions.
It'afforded us unspeakable pleasure to find
our old political enemy, but e>f?eined per
onal friend. Major James II. Witherspoon,
the ardent friend of the South in the present
struggle. In 1851, we sung, with Major
Whlierspoon, the satne doxology to the
Union tune, and we again strike hands in
tho same cause?the cause of Southern
rights. Major Witherspoon sees that if
ITanana iu n.Ioot???! on<) I l?o f T tt i< .??
Kuril an outrage, the institution of xlatcn
riH-noon l?e numbered among the thing*
that were; for Hushed with such a victory,
the Abolitionists will gain new strength and
new courage, and will not rest until they
crush the last vestige of slavery, lie ha*
made up his mind, and when the time comes
will be found at his post. In North Alabama
where Maj. Witherspoon is known, it i*
useless for us to speak of his high position,
and to proclaim how much influence and
support the South gains by hit adhesion to
her rights.
With this array of strength, the South
can welj afford to scorn the disaffection of
stUall-fry demagogues, and treachery of editors
who, in selecting Southern soil for their
bomea, seem anxious to pollute it with the
corriiptibns of the land that still holds them
and their principles in such blissful retnein
berance.
Kentucky United.?We are pleased to
seo from the following, which we find in the
Louisville Courier, that Kentucky stands as
a unit in support of the Administration.?
' The Democracy is now, to all intents and
purposes, the Southern party, Htid the course
of events ia proving that all outside of it. who
- are fighting for its overthrow, are unsafe on
issue that concern the South :
' " A room twenty feet square would hold

question the Democracy of Kentucky may
bo said to lie an unit. The little sound who

sufficient to form an exception to thegetteial

Government Fi'NKKAL*.?The proteat of
the late Colonel Benton against the experuii
tare of public money on account of his death,
ryad in the Mouse on Friday last, reminds
u* of the fact that among the last words of
the late Capt. Black, long a useful and honored
member,of the United States House of
Representatives, waa an vainest request that
the Government should not spend a dime to
bury hiin ; as he believed such expenditure
to he unconstitutional.
Thus he died, illustrating the sincerity of
bis persistent ideas when in full vigor of
health and mind, of the limitations of the
Constitution of the United States.

Mr. Enierprite?1 notice that" Vivacity," bettsr

desirous of notoriety, and your humble
correspondent is anxious to gratify his propensity
in this respect, by giving him another round. 1

and other polite uames which he is pleased to
call " l'atrol," considering them as bagatelle, and
take up the fellow as I come to him?and dispatch
him as briefly as the small kpnec you have
allowed mo will permit.
1st lie denies the charge of drunkenness, and
pronounces it a lie, and calls upon several gentle
I men u> prove what lie says. I reply to this, by
saying that I have in my possession the certificate*
of two of the patrol, and the evidence of
both the town marshals, that he was drunk on the
night of the 'Idth of February last, whilst in Qreenvi.lt.
He can ace theae certificate* by calling on
the chief inurshal of our town. I would aak him
whut became of him on that night, after being
turned back by the marshal, and where he was
returning from, when again met by the patrol, at
an hour of the night when aeber men should be
houaed, "when church-yard* yawn and drowsy
watchmen sleep'!" Perhaps he was playing
" Ghost"
2d. He still persists in calling people " swellheads,"
as if he had .not been at one time the
most consummate swell-head in Greenville. (I
can see him now holding the ribbons behind a
well-known claybank, and traveling at the rate
of 2:40, causing strangers to believe that he was
proprietor of some considerable establishment
Some of hie fast debts, 1 believe, remain unpaid.)
" Pride goes before a fall," and it is unnecessary
to tell him of his failifbe. His creditors are aware
of that fact
3d. He says that the people of Greenville
"think it a mortal offence that aoy one should
visit their town and not land each individual
ttwell-hcad and upstart aa a Solomon." Thinking
thus will not prevent them from nailing base
slanders to the counter that mean and malicious
men may write.

[rOR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.]
Afr. Editor?I see in the Patriot and
Afountaineer, of the 15th inst., the second
communication from "Peter Progress," on
the subject of opening a new road, the intention
of which is so barefaced that it
should he noticed. Now. Mr. Editor. I do
not wish it understood that I am opposed
to road improvements. 1 am a strong advo
cate for good roads, and some new ones,
too, where tliev are needed and judiciously
laid out, but there. is so much self interest
at 3!?ke in the proposed new road, that I
will proceed to lay before the public a few
objections to it.
In the first place, we have now in our
immediate road division a* many roads as
we can keep up We work our twelve days
on the roads, besides the heavy road tax
that is laid on the District for Bridges, and
what was the condition of the White Horse
rond. the Wnddill's Bridge road, and the
Hutlietford and Spartanburg roads. The
condition of the Buncombe road needs no
comment. It has not been woj^pd f There
is only some eight or ten regular hands to
wtiilr it h%r f.ntr milnu m*%A ? ' * '
_ .. .... ...... III n i unu Ul 111 11CII
more importance limn nil llie oilier road* in
our division, both to the town, Distiict and
Stale. Where are the hands that used to
keep the Buncombe road up! They are
taken off to work private roads for the benefit
of one or two private gentlemeil.
In the second place, the road proposed bv
' Peter Progress n will run through a wet
pijie claysotl, a portion of it flat, and a por
'.ion quite broken, l?e*ides three or four
swampy branches, and the wide swamp
acros* the Long Branch, which would make
it one of the most difficult roads to keep up.
and would be impassible in the winter.?
The present location of the White Horse
road is on the ridge, and i* decidedly the
best location that can be made in that quar
ter. and which is now an old established
road, which would have to be abandoned if
| the prujMised new road is ojiened. for the
J want of hands to work it, which would interfere
with the road through Mr. Thus M
Oox's faitn to the new bridge across Saluda,
which i* decidedly the most important route
from <?ieenville C. II., to the Saluda portion
of Pickens District, and which would even
tlinllv be the shortest an.i t?e?? ?.-. ? ?? l?:_u
en* C. II. And, furthermore, person* who
wish to Itaol wo<k! to town. And l"gs to the
;raw mill, woukl much prefer a private mad
to a public one, which, in the winter time,
when wood in wHnted, would be no cut up
that they could not hAul more than half h
loud. But why i* it ao important that ihe
public should open a road and build and
keep in repair bridge* for the benefit of Mr.
McBsKand Col. Irvine to haul their wood
to town I There must be some other motive
behind the screen. Who ia "Peter Pro
grees !*' It can't be Peter of the June* Turnpike,
for that Company had already power
to build a road to Greenville C. II.. (at their
| own expense.)_ and collect toll, b?o ; but they
found that we had road* enough after getting
down the mountain, ancf have already
turned over the lower end of their road to
the public, to be worked by taxes, and they
catch the toll on the mountain. It must be
another Peter, who we will dub Peter Sly,
to distinguish them. Said Peter ia a farseeing
man. and, by working by piece meal,
ha* already thrown upon the public three
different roads, on his own laad, tc enhance
their value at lire expense of the public, and
to give only one little item of the coat of said
road*. One of hi* liille bridge* coat the
tax-payer* of Greenville Di*trict ninety-*even
d<>ll*r* *nd fifty ceni*. Now, 1 em a lit
tie afraid the two Peter* are colleagtiing together
in tho proponed new road ; the one
named " 8lv," to enhance the value of hi*
own land*, and the other to pocket the cash
at the mountain in the way of toll, and both
at the expense of the District. And again,
said Peter Sly i* *o lenaciou* of roads that
he can't even lay out ? road aero** the'
country without turning the end of it, with
a * Grecian bend," toward* hi* own pretnlre*.
I have endeavored to put tha ball of retrenchment
in motion, and hope that the
public, who have the road* to build, will
take the subject up and investigate it. We
already work our twelve days on the road*,
independent of the heavy taxes upon our
District.
Now, 1 know that Peter Sly will look up
on this a* a malicious assault upon hi* private
interest, but it is bett- r that than for
our poor farmer* to be called out to work
on private road* twelve day*, and it will
probably soon be twenty day* for the benefit
of tbo two Peters.

To the Citizens of the Town and District of
Greenville.
It is known to rannv of you, fellow-ctti
zens. that efforts have l>een making for some
time to secure to Greenville the location of
anotlier important seminary of learning.?
thai. in hi* providence, has taught the Hap
tista t>f the South their need of one general
theological seminary of the highest order.
They have agreed to locate it at (Jreenville.
provided South Carolina will contribute one
hundred tnousund dollarato its endowment,
to be met by another hundred thousand
dollars from the other States. Of the
amount to be given hv South Catolina, the
dime of Greenville District, hv a vote of its
own citizens, at a public meeting called to
consider this matter, was put down at twen
tv five thousand dollars. A few citizens
have already aubscrilicd sixteen thousand
dollars of this amount, and to the rest of the
District is left the balance?nine thousand
dollars. This must he made up amongst us,
and at once. The canvass of the State in
general, thus far made, p oves that it will
require every dollar of what can he elsewhere
raised to make up the balance of the
one hundred thousand dollars, and unless wc
are willing to see the enterprise fail, our eit
iiona must make up the amount reaaonablv
legarded u their share. We have until the
first of May to secure it in IkukI* and cash.
At that time the Convention called for the
organization of the institution, will meet at
Greenville, and it is not unlikely that the
opportunity having been given us to secure
its location among us, and we having failed
to embrace it. there will be other applicants
for an advantage which, it is every whet e
felt, is, to a town of our size, particularly
with its institutions of learning, of iucalcutable
value.
My own duty requiree me to canvasa other
