South Carolina Ijogislaturo.
This body, we learn from our Coluinhim exchanges,
met on Monday hist, at 12 M., and after
calling the roll, a quorum being present, proceeded
to business. Committees were appointed, lioth
in the Senate and House, to wait on the Governor,
and inform hiin of their organization, and
readiness to hear any communication from him.

Thiesday at 11 o'clock. It is contained In the

wo have introduced 9*ttn for the purpoao of

the designs of the party of which ne was a professed

?re tako from a letter nddretwed to the eoinnittee
which rcoenlly solicited bMfftO ^Jaliver
in address at the "Jerry Rescue Celebration,"
knd which appeared iu TT^f Stale League
published at Syracuse. Tltc mnn who could uler
or publish such sentiments as these, is void
?f every Christian principle. Not a spark
t>< human kindticsa ever lighted up his heart.?
lite man who would counsel iosurrcetioo is none
too good to apply the torch and rob u*> not only
of our homes, but of everything which makes
home happy. Grent God ! can such a man live
in this Christian lond 1 No wonder that after
uttering these sentiments, he should seek tornpaniotiship
with the crazed and ftfolish people
who are congregated in Insane Asylums. We
feel that he move* among them, the meanest,
most abandoned nnd wretched obiccfc of all.?
Life should refuse him even the slightest comfort
or hope?and death should only relieve him cf
life's Ills to cousiguh im to nn endless tortuo in
hell. What have wo done that he should thus
destroy us?
The letter was written before the late affair at
Harper's Ferry, and shows n fiondivbness of purpose
equalled only by the tortures with which
he would nfHict lis. Read It, Southerners, and be
prepared for the dangers with which we are
threatened :
* No wcr.dcr, then,:e if, ie '!v? fact?
which 1 have sketched, intelligent black men
in the United States and Canada should see no
hope for their race in the practice and pulley of
white men. No wonder they are brought to the
conclusion that no resource is left to them but in
Clod and insurrections. For insurrections, then,
we may look any year, any month, any day. A
terrible remedy for a terrltde wrong ! But come
it must, unless anticipated by repentance mid
the putting awnv of the terrible wrong.
"It will he kmul that these insurrections will
he failures?that they will bo put. down. Yes,
but will not slavery, nevertheless, ho put down
by themf For what portions ore there of the
South that will cling to slavery after two or
three considerable insurrections c-liall have filled
the whole South with horro'rf And is it. entirely
certain that, these insurrections will he put
down promptly, end before they ran have spread
far? Will telegraphs and railroads be too swift
for even the swift* st insurrections f Remember
that telegraphs r.!;d railroads can be rendered
useless in nu hour. Remember, too, that many,
who would hp glad to face the inscrgcntf, would
he husy in transporting their wives and daughters
to places where thov would i>o sate from
that worst fate which husbands and fathers can
imagine for their wives and daughters. I admit
that but for ibis embarrassment Southern men
would laugh at the idea of nil insurrection, nn<l
would quickly dispose of due. But. trembling as
lliey would for tlieir beloved ones, ] know of no
part of tbo world where, so much as in the
South, men would be liku, in a formidable insurrection,
to lose the most important lime, and
be distracted and panic-stricken.
" When the day of her calamity shall have
lome to the Month, and fire and rape and sluugh
.er shull be filling up the measure of her nlilieion,
then will the .North have two rcssons for
einnrec?
"First. That she was not. willing (whatever the
ittitude of the South at thi9 point) to share with
icr In the expense and loss of an immediate and
tniversnl emancipation.
"Second. That she was not willing to vote
ilavery out of existence.
" Then, too, when, nlns! it will he too late,

Charleston Advertisement*.
Our readers have no doubt rond the advertisement*
thich appear in our paper this morning, of some of
he business houses of Charleston. Wo are personilly
acquainted with several of tlio advertisers, and
;an safely recommend their houses to the patronage
if merchants and others who desire to purchnso any
>f the articles advertised. Wo aro glad to perceive
bat the merchants of Charleston nrc beginning to
'calire the importance of advertising in the country
iress. The neglect of this thing has told fearfully
ipon her trade during the past year. There was a
irno when the merchants of (Irecnvillo traded In
Charleston, but the past season, with perhaps one
exception, all purchased their goods in Now York
ind other Northern markets.
We believe that goods can be purchased in Charleston
us cheaply as in New York, and thoro is but one
way for her to secure the trade, which is simple and
. nsy. Lot the inerchnnts and business men of
Charleston inform the country what they cau and
sill do in the way of bargains. Adriso the merchants
throughout the South that they have goods
to sell, nud our word for it, the business will go in
Ihat direction. This course, upon their part, will
drive from the country the thousand drummers for
abolition houses that now prowl in every corner of
the State,
Ii ia lh?. -I-* 1? -
trade in Southern market* ; but it isirjaldly tbc <luty
of th? wliokrulo merchant* to prosuut to the aovntry
the advantages which tliey enn afford. Let the
merchant* of (fhnrlcsten but udopt Ibo measures to
noeiiro trade which New York anil Philadelphia hAye
done, by scattering their card* and advertisements
throughout the South, and the work la done. Wo
commend these remarks to the attention of Charleston

mend to all the Hoards the adoption of more
rigid economy in expenditure*. We recommend
the Imildiug of a Kitchen nt the l'oor House

lapidated building which is now used for that
purpose.
We present the acceptance, by the Commission
ere, of the South*enst end of the Junta's Gap
Hojd as a public grievance.
We are fully aware that it la not common for
Grnnd Juries to notiee, in their Presentments, any
subject purely agricultural, hut we think present
circumstances justify us in varying so fur from the
common course ns to urge the necessity of a law
to protect I lie sheep of Greenville District from
Dogs. Surrounded, as our people are, by all the
clreumstanoes necessary to successful sheep huebsndry,
justifying the belief that-wo oquM pro
fitahly raise nil neo<led for our own wants, and
much to ejiare, wc really do n^t produce on?
tenth of what is necessary to our own courihnption.
We, therefore, urge tlmt the Legislature
pass a law, rendering the owuer* of dogs responsible
for the damage done by them; and that
some court should be provided for the determination
of such oasca. with less trouble and exnenxe.
and io shorter time, thnn .the Court of Catnfnon

We also recommend the passage of a law requiring
the Free JC.-pros to remove from the State

A Word for the Ladies.
Mr. Editor--Allow me to Osk tbo attonlion of
your fiiir readers to the hall Tnade on them by a
"Son of Temperance " through your columns.?
Hsve they read that arHolel I fear many of
them havo not. And hnvc those who did read
It, sufficiently pondered its import? Are they
ready and willing to nssunie the responsibility
of doing so much injury by simply declining to
cv-*r|-c. thr.uC 'JSribi .*!*? atrtvliw t?
banish Intemperance from our community. Did
I say, by dealing to co-opernlef The truth Is, if
they do not take an active part in the effort, they
thereby give aid and comfort to those who drink
It is impossible for them to be neutral. Their
influence is Uxr active end vitalising to remain
in a dormant condition. It is ever working?
silently and powerfully?for good or ill. Ilut is
it not strange, that any wife, mother or sister
would desire to be neutral on thTi question ? Jt
ean only be, that they do not realize tho evils of
lutcmpernnce. They are not aware what rulr.

tes. They do.not realizo lhnt uil VhU evil falls
lies viest upon woman. Ju every relation of life
in which woman's heart hoa been linked with
man's, she has been sadly stricken by the withering
blight which this pestilence sheds from its
able wines. Of all the ties on whioh the wealth
of her nature is lavished, whether as wife, mother
or daughter or sister, not one, however near,
however tender, however site red, has beep spared.
We therefore, invoke woman's aid. lit behalf of
this cause, wo would onlist "tho warmth of woman's
affections, tho poetry of woman's smiles,
and the eloquence of woman's tears."
Wo would have the ladies of our town to ponder
the evils of this vice. There it none other,
which, iu one black and awful gulf, swallows up
so much of hope and happiness, as lut<stn|>ernnee.
It prostrates all that, is great, und blights all that
is good in humanity. The man of hunor, it betrays
into infamy?the man of virtue, into sin.?
It touches the manly frame, and it is clothed
with corruption. It sei<?*s the intellect, und its
di\ine lineaments nrc blotted out-forever. It
breathes upon the holy affections, and they are
blasted. It destroys the tendered ties of social
life, exiles the sweet endearments of home, and
robs the earth of its loveliness.
Let me entreat our ladies, then, to make this
mhj. ,t s topic of conversation, and by united
effort. Aid the Sons in saving from the evils mentioned,
those ou whom their hopes are centered
for future happiness. X.
