From the Anderson OflMU*.
A Letter from Hon. James L. Ott.
Anderson C. H.,
Giktiinrh?I here read and carefully
considered your appeal to roe io
become a candidate for the Legislature
in tliis District. Tbe steadfast and cordial'
support you gare me throughout
my public career of sixteen years, renders
it painful to me to decline any position
which you desire me to occupy,
aa# fat private considerations -of too
great a weight to be disregarded, impel
me reluctantly to decline your call.
1 am, like yourselves, deeply impressed
with the critical aspect of our federal
affairs, and Believe vre are drifting rapidly
upon revolution. My hope, na you
know, for year* pant for the parserration
of the rights of the South in the
Union, has been upon the Democratic
party. So long as it was united harmonious
and triumphant, our rights and
Institutions were safe. That great party
that has, in time* gone by, won so
many brilliant victories over federalism,
abolitionism, and consolidation, and established
so many sound and conservative
principles, ie now disunited, divided
and broken up. Its disruption extinguishes
ray ardently cherished hjfe
of preserving not only our rights, but
the Union itself. It is idle to abate or
review the causes that led to its disruption.
Let it suffice hero for me to say,
that in my o, inion, the secession of the
Southern delegates from tho Charleston
Convention whs unwise and impolitic.
It was manifest, there, to the most casual
observer, that Judge Dpuglas, who
was so justly obnoxious to the South,
could not receive the nomination in a
A.tl * -
iuii convention., ami it was equally certain
that Mr. Breckinridge would have
been the nominee, if the Southern dele
cations had not abandoned their posts.
If Mr. Breekiniidgc had been the nominee
at Charleston, his election would
have been a "certainty, lie is now the
nomineo of only one wing of tho party,
the other wing having nominated
Douglas?and whilst I shall give to
Breckinridge and Lane, the nominees of
the Baltimore Convention?gentlemen
?.f tried patriotism and sound principles,
a hearty and cordinl support, I see no
prospect of their electiou either bv the
people or otherwise.
Lincoln and ITnmlin. tho Black Bopublican
nominees, will be elected in
November next, and the South must
then decide the great question whether
they will submit to the domination of
Black Republican rule?the fundamental
principle of their organization "being
an open, undisguised, ard declared war
upon our social institutions. I believe
thai the honor and safety of the South,
in that contingencv, will require the
prompt /ceession of the slavcbolding
States from the Union, and failing then
to obtain bom the fiee States additional
and higher guarantees for the protect
ion of our rights and property, that
vhe 6eceding States should proceed to
establish a new government. But whilst
I think siffch would be the imperative
duty of the South, I ihould emphatically
leprobatc and repudiate ?ny scheme
having for its object the separate secession
of South Carolina ; if Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi alone?giving us
a portion of the Atl?ntic nod Gulf coasts,
would unite with this State in a coin
ttion secession upon the election of a
Black Republican, I would give my assent
to the policy.
? I would indulge in no language of
crimination or denunciation of our
brethren in tho South, who are impelled
' y a sense of patriotic duty to suppoit
Douglas and Johnson. I believe they
are misjudging the most efficient means
of preserving the rights and interests of
the South in sustaining these gentlemen
; but I concede to them a palrioti
in as catholic as I claim for myself, and
I feel well a-snred that when the great
sectional issue between the North and
South is to bo decided an issue which
words alone will not settle, that the
South will have need for the services of
-111 1 .1 ?11 1 *1
Hit ner sons, nnu mai iirecKinritige men i
and Douglas men will only emulate
each other in their gallant devotion to
her honor and interests.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for your
kind consideration, and reiterating my
1 egret that I cannot respond affirmatively
to your call, I subscribe myself,
most truly your fiiend and fellow-citijwn,
JAMES L. ORR.
To John Martin, and others.

A Meteor.
A luminous body passing in the sir was
seen by many of our citizens on Thursday
night last, about 10 o'clock. We saw the
light, but did not have the gml ideation of
seeing the body itself. Its direction wot
towards the north-west. It woo quite luminous.
Have Taken tho Stump.
The members for the Legislature in this
District, have hll, we believe, taken the
stump, and arc busily engaged in electioneering.
We have heard of no division among
them on political questions, the only difference
of opinion being on questions of State
policy.
Hditorial Visit.
We wore pleased to Yoccive a call from
John Fetmc Brown, ICsq., editor of the Anderson
Gazette, a few days since. We congratulate
him upon the respectnhle number
of names added to his subscription list while
here, nnd hope he will make it convenient
to call again.
The Crops.
We still hear much complaint of the dry
weather, not withstanding rain fulls in some
pnrt of the District almost every day. Much
talk of hard times ahead is heard. Some
of our farmers, howevt r, linte lino prospect*, '
iind speak fnvoral.ly of their crops.

We have not space for the notice which
Appears in the last Anderson Gazette of the
Examination and Commencement of this

have been requested. The Gazette aaya a
a great many citizens, patrons and friends
were present. The examination in the Academic
Department evinced fine preparation
and training, while the examination of the
Senior Class was highly pleasing. The concert
was attended by a large audience, who
were entertained with fine music. The apaeioua
Chapel was crowded to its utmost on

Baptist Female College, op Thursday last ,
T!i? ?d of potrono ind Jbieuds in itttrtd^ i
ance was largo, the Cbe|?el being filled to its ,
utmost Many ware unable to obtain seats {
The exercises were opened with prayer by
Rgv. II. A. Duncan. The Compositions of
the young ladiea of the Graduating Class
were read by Prof. J. P. Borca, in the following
order:
The True Gentleman?Miss M. M. Maaaic*.
The true gentleman ia somewhat difficult
to define, satisfactorily to all mindfe. lie ia
variously defined. In this composition
Christianity was considered an Important element.,
if nut lu? l?>d;ng one, in tho fcrroa
Mod of such a character. Certainly a very
high standard by which to estimate him.
The Dead Hietorian ?Mis* M. E. Moonkt :
A familiarity with the lives and characters
of the deceased historians of our own
and ether eonntries, was amply manifest in
this composition.
CVty Life and Country Life?Mist Lot'. McCullouoh
:
The comparative advantages and enjoyments
of a life in the city and a life in the
country, were very well considered. Each
has its peculiar pleasures and attractionsThe
country village i?, perhaps, a medium
between the two, combining, to a considerable
extent, ninny of the advantages of both..
Poteer of Auociation?Mies Jenmk M. Carbox
:
The power of association was discussed
anl proven l>y appropriate illustration.
No mind but has its associations?no heart
but feels their effect* The aged man reverts
in memory to his early years, and what
associations crowd his mindl The patriot
associates with the name of his country nil
that is honorable and glorious, and is ready
tq resent indignity to her, at the risk of his life
Such i^t tho power of association.
The Three Profrutiont?Wise M. M. Eari.k:
The lawyer, the physician and tho divine.
These honorable professions were nicely defended
from the odium which some would
cast upon them because of the number of
ambitious hut unnnalificd votintr men who
lmvc crowds them. The dignity, not of I lie
professions themselves, but of those who,
devoid of ability, had assumed to ndorn
them, had been lowered. Talent?not ambition?should
govern in the choice of a profession.
' 1
R'nnance and Reality?Miss X. A. T.\i.nEnr:
Few minds but love the ideal?the roinnn- '
tie?and it is easy to acquire a taste for nov- 1
sl-reading. The objection to works of fic- '1
,ion were, that they were unreal?not into ?
to life. Written to excite the mind and cn- *
jagc the feelings, and having no limit, im- s
agination is stretched to its fullest extent,
sad soars above the realities of life. The <
simple narrative of life as others have found ?
it?real, living characters?ninv not so fas- <
eirnte and charm us, yet we feel its truth,
and may draw from it a better moral than
from the moat perfect ideal character that ;
imagination can paint.
Pleoturc* of Hope?Miss I,. A. Austin:
The pleasures of hope 1 A happy theme,
indeed, for the mind of the maiden. Hope
has been whispering, long and oft, words of
encouragement into the willing ear, and
inspiring the heart anew with courage to
meet the trials of life. The pleasures of
hope were handsomely depicted in this composition,
end we would be permitted to exprcsa
the hope that the pleasure which the
fair writer realizes from her hopes, may never
diminish.
Everybody Ha* a Mixtion?Miss S. F. IIokf. :
A work for every one?some mission to
fulfill, in the grout arena of life ! We cannot
ba idle, but must labor with ot.v might.
This subject was considered and discussed in
a fine manner. The ideas were well advanced,
fioiu which sound conclusions ware
A
Jitliut Crtar?Miss F. L. CaorT :
This character was considered a.* combining,
in eminent degree, two qualification*
rarely found in the same perron, vis: The
warrior nnd the historian. As n genera),
his achievements upon the battle field were
unsurpassed. A historical research was displayed
in (his composition. ,
Female Injhtence?Miss X. W. Stokes:
The influence of woman, in her various <
relations in life, as daughter, sister, friend,
wife nnd mother, was considered in a style
peeullarly pleasing. Comprehending the
theme in all ita bearings, the importance of
giving a proper direction to the influ
ence which the fair sex do and may exert
over the minds and hearts of the sterner sex,
was enforced with good and sound reasoning.
An admirable composition.
Foreign Travel?Mtss A. F. IU'rmiam:
The idea commonly prevalent, that nn
European tour is, as a matter of course, interesting
and highly gratifying to every one,
was disparaged. To the mind well cultivated
and stored with classic lore, and familiar
with the history and antiquities of that
country, it might be; hot to the uneducated
mind, it could not he. The tine collections
and sneeimens of art nnd stntunrv which
lire there to be found, require a finely cultivated
taste to properly appreciate them.
The eoniposition*of Mis* J. SI. Alkxam>rr
and Mis* SI. K. Hicm>kk*on, two other mem
hers of the Graduating Class, were not in
the programme, and their reading was
omitted. "
Wo thought the compositions all well
written and quite creditable to their fair authors.
After they had been rend, the Diplomas
to the Graduating Class were presented
by Prof. C. R. Trim, President jtro
tern, of the College, after which he made
some remarks appropriate to the time and
ocoasion. It is perhspe proper to state that
no distinctions were made in the close? all
were graduated with equal honors. Wo are
informed that each occupied a high stand in
the class.

They ordered an immediate ear ey
and location of the road. Comalaioare
were appointed to eeonre the right of

Cleveland to Duektown will subscribe liberlly.
The charter of the Company requires

iefore the Cofhpany can permanently or.

he meeting, that that amount can be raised
n that place any time in two hours. The
)ucktown capitalists will enbecribe liberty.
Hie meeting adjourned to ineet at
Cleveland on the 8th September next, at
rhich time they will permanently organise,
riiey eee that there will certainly be a ooniccting
road built to Dncktown, either by
i continuation of the Blue Ilidge from
Clayton or by the North Cnrollna Western
Extension, the latter of which the engineer
las just finished locating at the Tennessee
inc. They confidently look to the building
f both roods at no distant day. All, most,
id mil that North Carolina must oome to
hat point, as no oilier western connection
an oompeie with it in point of availability,
tliey look forward equally assnnguine to the
or connection willi tho Blue Ilidge at Clay ton
t becomes a commercial necessity to South
Carolina. Few persons (even here) propery
appreciate the vast mineral resources of

hoy are a permanent fixture, capable pf inlefinite'expansion.
To give you an idea of
heir ability to extend their business, if
hey only had railroad facilities : Tliey are
wpnhle now of consuming ten thousand
ons of iron annually, simply by constructng
resorvoirs to receive the impregnated
oppor water from the mines, and place the
roil in it. The iron thus placed yields to
lie copper and disappears, whilst a de>osit
cf copper to the amount of ninety per
ent. of the originnl weight of the iron is
sft. And as wc are in the midst of a vast
on region, you can see at a planee, the detent*
of a trrtat eity at DneL-lotcn. I fesl
nnfident., when I lie great railroads are
uilt to Ducktown, that a greater city than
Mania will spring up as by magic, as it has
II the element* of success around it already,
ive railroad connection. Can it he possi
le that the State of South Carolina will
rorc so short-sighted?so fickle?as to
handon her western connectionf After
aviug spent millions of dollars; having
hnost overcome the great obstruction at
uuncl llill; after having furnished the
jcaus to complete the road within ten or
welve miles of the Georgia lirre. If your
mhlo little Stnto had only furnished the
noatis to reach Clayton, a distance of tweny-four
or five miles from Wnlhalla, they
eould have opened a laudable rivalry bewecn
Chattanooga nnd Kuoxvillc. The
ood from Chattanooga to Cleveland iscomdete,
a distance of 2S miles. From Clcvennd

an not, within themselves, huild the roa?',
>ut will subscribe every dollar they are
ible to. We feel confident, should your
state legislature determine on the conneclon
at Chattanooga, instead of Knoxville,
lint the anfopnt required on this route will
to vastly less than by Knoxville, and all,
nost, admit Chattanooga a more desirable
sonnection tlinn Knoxville.

iDgWIalnrt. Tliia call, with tlie repeated
olicitat ion* from many friend*, amongst my
minedintc ncigltbor*, witli others from
various part* of the District, haacauned me U
lesitate between my own feeling* aqd thost
olicitationa?whether I would or would
lot he a candidate.
That I am ambitious there can be n<i
doubt; but that ambition has never rose high'
pr than to the narrow limit* of being a good,
plain, hone*t, candid, and hence a useful
sitizrn; this is the extent. Ilut when 1
have realized this demonstration of prefer
ment that lias been graciously manifested
o wards me, ex-en from quarter* where 1
sould hardly have ex|>ected it, in this my
tdopfed home, and that without any iqiecial
iffort on my part to secure the contidenci
ind kindness of my fellow-citizena, 1 would
i>e dead to every sense of humanity, if my
leart did not swell with grateful pride at
.liia assurance of having so warm a nlaen in
.heir afTcctiona and confidence, and feel
wined that cii cumotnncea force me, At thi<
ime at lew at, to decline the position I have
i>een ao kindly aolicited to occupy,
