Hanging of Anthony Bewley.
The Methodist preacher hting Jn Texfor
his active participation in tbo
-volition riots and (tree in ibat country,
us out to be the Rev. Anthony Bew..
a native of East Tennessee, and for..
oily a member of the IloUton Con*
once, lie was bom and raised at
. j mouth of Lick Creek, on CLueky
iver, and married Miss Winton, of
: >?ne couutv. about the vear 1834. and
portly after removed to the West.?
o knew him personally, and knev
,.n to be a clever and upright man,
t always anti-slavery, and rather a
tbborh'man in matters of opinion.
i the time of hie hanging, he was a
_ -inber of the Arkansas Conference,
" I he hi\d twice boeo elected to the ,
i.-ueral Conference, ?o that be waa a
in of some prominence.
The Christian Advocate and Journal,
o organ of the- Northern Methodic
hiircb, states he was a very detout,
?nstand inoffensive man, aud that the
enee for which he was hung, was
it of being a Minuter of the North*
:i Methodist Church, or as ho Styles it.
The Methodist Episcopal Church."
is not true that they hung inen in
xas for being Ministers of the Metli
!isl Episcopal Church. The Texas
iirntinn Advocate, ono of the organs
the Southern Methodist Church, says
r. Bewley was hung for being on tuff
abolitionist, and that upon bis
. ial, a majority of the three hundred
>en condemned him and passed sennee.
The New Yoik Advocate pioounccs
this a M murderous work."
<ot more so, in our judgment, than
> insurrection and burning of towns
. i Texas, under tho direcliou of those
.'.sociatod with Mr. Bewley.
Arkansas and Texas fell to LheSouth
n Church, after tho sepa.a'.ion in
j4 4, and Mr. Bewley knew it, and had
r.o u,i.i"C9s there, but should have
.nited his fortunes with lho>o of the
ndiana cr Illinois Conferences, undo'
he care of tho Northern Church, and
:it and out abolitionists. Above all,
a had no lusiness there, meddling
.. hh tho domestic institutions of the
eel for tlic fiiends and relatives of Mr.
. Rowley, we must be permitted to say
' at the people of Texas served him
*'ght. If he had been our brothor, we
. lion Id say he ought to have been hung.
The New Yoik Advocate says he
* " devoutly pious and inoflvnive."
If this be the case, hanging
?ns " a short cut " to the Kingdom of
lod. and to the crossing of a " Itiver,
he streams wbe eof shall make glad
no City of God." And ere this timo
he lievereitd Abolitionist 1ms realized
the truth of tho declaration of a modern
poet :
" Celestial fruit from earthly erounJ,
Trout faith and hope may grow."

T^F.VrLOl'MENT8 IN MARLBOKOCCH.
We loam that stailling developments
have been made in Marlhorongh, and
i'.ie whole community thrown into a
i-tato of gieat excitement. Two citizens
vf Western New York have been ar:csted,
who had under their care a
large stand of arms. They were searchid,
and invoices found tailing for another
Aot, amounting in all. we are informed,
to about twelve hundred. The
arms were consigned to paities in Wilmington,
to which place a gentleman
had been sent to make investigations,
i.tid to secure others who may he impli?alcd.
Their complicity and direct
gency were so thoroughly established,
hat they were committed to jail. The
lading was so intense that it was with
^teat difficulty that their violent seizuie
.-.ml immediate execution could he prevented.
Judge Whitner, who was
holding Court (here, interposed, and
dually succeeded in staring the feeling
: ml reserving them as victims for more
'egal preceedtue. The public mind if
die North has been so wrought tip by
i:u lii'Cittiiiiiiiim i?i jwi.-|MiuiiL*Jiii urmurp,
, It At tliose nri-'ionniies of social subversion
may doubtless be found in every
Southern community. Whenever ar
tested, they sl?r>uld not be left to the
flow process of law. 'J ho vigilant societies
should eizo them, give them a
fair trial, and, if the circumstances convict
litem of complicity in designs of
such atrocity, should mete out to them
punishment, prompt, summary and extreme.?
South Carolinian.
Sir.ee, the above was in type, we have
learned that the two persons above
mentioned are to be hung on Friday
next.

8NOW AND FROBT.
Tito weather has been cold and wintry '
during the past week. Snowjfcll upon the '
mountains north-west of us on Saturday or <
Sunday, giving them a very white appear- 1
ance. Monday and Tuesday mornings we 1
were visited hy heavy frosts. Potato tops,
peas, late fodder and cotton, all show that the
withering touch of Jack's icy 6ngers have
been laid on them. The damage, we hope, 1
lias not been material. 1
THE FAIRTIBW MANAOEBS.' f
There seems to have been some niisap- <
prehension, as to who were the regularly np- t
point ed managers for Fnirview Election Box I
in this District. We have been enquired of by v
some persons in relation this matter, and f
all we have to ray, is, that the list publish- 1
od in the J?nlcrpri*r, was taken from the t]
Reports and Resolutions of the last, session d
of the Legislature, and, as a matter of course, h
were the proper Managers. We received ti
no orders from any person to niter or change n
any name, and the list published, as above p
slated, was by the authority of the Legis- n
hitnre. This explanation, we trust, will t
prove satisfactory to nil parlies interested, n

after which he came forward and delivered ,
a short and appropriate address. lie thanked
them for the call and serenade, and spoke
of the political ionics of the day. lie
thought the chance? to defeat Lincoln were
quite slim, and in the event of his election,
he hoped that. North Carolina and South
Carolina would net with caution and deliberation,
and act together. lie paid a befitting
compliment, to the delegation of South
Carolina in Congress, and said that they
were watchful of the interest? r.nd honor of

applause.
MBS. GWIN'S POEMS.
This work has made its appearance, and
we predict for it a very favorable reception
by the public. Those who have heretofore
been charmed by the peru?nl of snob of Mrs.
Grin's production? a? have found their way
I to the public through the medium of the
' prefs of the county*, we feel assure I will at 1
once procure a copy of these entertaining 1
poems. The work has claim? upon the 1
people of the South, other than the fact ^
thnt it u 1 lie production of Southern ge- ]
nius and labor. Its many attractions of
thought, its pure nnd exalted style, are
sufficient in themselves to commend it to
nil lovers of poetry.
The volume is respectfully dedicated to
the Hon. John Bklton tyscall, and is issued
in n neat nnd beautiful manner frotn the
press of Mr. G. E. Elford, of Greenville.
The hook, in various styles of binding,
can he had at the store of Messrs. Ronaitrs
?fc Mauliiin, where subscribers are requested
to call nnd procure their copies.

MISCELLANEOUS NEW8 MILLET.
Elder Kimball, one of the leading Mormon

of affection, and they and their niatn

lew Orlenna, by a frjend of the filibuster

id not regard the attack upon him as an

Upwards of eighty colored residents of
Pennsylvania have applied to the Colonization

Out of 207 oil wells in Pennsylvania, only
34 continue to yield, nnd several of these

FOR THE SOUTHERN ENTEr.rr.ise.
Tribute of Respect.
At ? meeting of the Andrew Fuller So
C1KTV of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, held on the 12th of October
1800, the following Preamble and Reeolo
tions*vere adopted :
Whereas, since its last meeting, God has
sein fit, in his ufflictive Providence, to remove
from this Society an active member,
md an efficient officer; be it, therefore,
Rettolved, 1. Thnt in the early and unexpect
s.l death of Brother JAMES I). WITT, of
Prince lit!ward Comity, Vo., this Society
lias lost a most valuable and dearly loved
member; one whose promptness and untiring
energy contributed much to its successful
formation ; whose prudent counsels and
idministrnlive ability not less tliun his apesial
talent as a liohl and ready debater, nnd
Ills correct views of truth, aided inueli in
fixing ft high degree of excellence to it* various
exercises.
2. That his kind find benevofcnt disposition,
courteous Christian bearing, end devotion to
the grent cause of preaching the Gospel,
presented nn example worthy of our iniitn
lion, or>d will endear his memory to us
through life.
x. That while wo endeavor cheerfully to
submit to this sad bereavement, we will also
try to oj?en our hearts to its teachings, that
its impressive lessons may sink deeply there,
prompting ns not only to imitate his lovely
example and true devotion to his Masters
work ; hut also to join him in the nobler society
of heavelt.
4. That a copy of these Resolutions he sent
to his father, as a slight testimonial of onr
ympnthy with him and his family: that
ihey he spread upon our minutes, and pule
lished in the Greenville papers, and the /ittiffint?
Zltraid.

That seems to become more and more

thihk that no result would bo so injurious

of the election before the |?eople, and
the consequent development of the

elected to the Presidency.
Lkt IIim bk Known.?The Spartan- ]
burg papers contain the following card, 1
which is signed by ten citizens of that {
District:
A lien Ford, a carpenter by trade, left
litis State on the morning of the 20th
of Irst month, under circumstances very
suspicious. He had been accused of
trying to influenco or advise the negros
of this community to insurrection, and
was taken up upon that accusation, and
was finally released ujron a promise of
immediately leaving the State. This information
is given to the world tlrat persons
may he upon the look out wherever
he may go. Said Ford is about 50
yeara old, *ix feet one or two inches
high, weighs about 200pounds, has rather
a pleasant countenance, and shows
his front teeth when talking.
- Virginia Sank.?There is not a particle
of doubt about the result in Virginia.
Every cloud has disappeared
from the face of our rky, and the sun of
Democracy shines with increased splendor.
The result will stand about as fol!?*'
?
' ' Breckinridge, 90,000
Bell, 09.000
' Douglas, 10.000
These are the figures, nnd we honest
ly lajlieve they will prove correct. Indeed
wo should not be surprised if Breckinridge's
figures exfreed our estimate.;?
We are confident.Douglas cannot*get
more than 10,000, if as many, and Bell
will certainly not exceed OO.OQO. At
all events Virginia is safe for Breckinridge
and Lane over both Douglas aud

It b not baprobnble that the geeel
dentin) election will go into the Hon?*t ,
In that event, sundry speculations hare >,
been given-we to the result. Tlie New
York Hera! I thinks Lincoln, llreckin- .
ridge and Hell will bo the three highest t
Candidates, sad makes ihe following estimate*
: *
For Lincoln.?Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, lUtode Island, Vermont.
Connecticut, New York,. New Jer- |
ey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota?
16' 1
for Breckinridge.? Delaware, Virginia,
South Caroliuii, Georgia, Alabama, )
Florida, LoiiiHana, Mi<*i>?ippi, Arkansas
Missouri, Texas, Oregon and California?13.
,
For Bell.?Tennessee?1. '
State* Equally Divided, or Tied%in
Ihe Jloutt, Between Breckinridi/e and \
Bell.?Maryland, North Carolina and 1
Kentucky?3.
There is still one State remaining, |
whoso delegation in the House stands
five for Douglas and four for Lincoln?
the State of Illinois?the voteof which, !
Mr. Douglas not before the House, would
probably lat can for Bell.
The whole number of States is 83.? 1
Necessary to elect, 17?giving the above
estimate as being correct, we liave for ,
Lincoln 16 ; for Breckinridge, 13; Hell,
2. Should the three Southern Slates
set down as divided or tied, go for Hreck- i
in ridge, he would receive tho necessary
number. Should lliey hold out, however,
until (be fourth of March, the election
would go into the Senate.
Seckssion of soptn Caroi.ika.?The ;
Chronicle savs it does not believe any (
Slate in the Union would object at all
tb South Carolina's going out of the *
Union, and says "joy go with her."
Does our neighbor mean that South
Carolina is so contemptible a fragment ]
of the South that her policy is a matter
of indifference to her Southern sisters ?
We caunoi think the editor intended to
convey toeh an idea ; for, however she ,
may <liff**r from her Southern sister t
States iu her views of State policy, her 1
commercial relations with tho contigu- '
ous States render her action of t|io very <
highest interest to them, and to none of |
thein store than Georgia; and the with- ]
drawal of South Carolina, even if ac- *
complished peacefully, and without the *
co-operation of her sister States, would J
very materially affect our commerci I ]
relations to and through her, which are 1
now very extensive and important to J
both parties. I
We have no idea South Carolina? ?
though more restive under oblignliun 1
aggressions than sotue of her sister J
States?will deem it to her interest to 1
secede alone; for we do not believe such 1
a measure justifiable, .except under such
grievances as will also render it ad visit- i
ble for the other slave Slates to go with 1
her.?Augusta Disjxitck.
. ? - Jlflj
Birds ok a Fratiikr.?The 1h(chH|E
telligence from Oregon is to the enwt
that in the House of Representative* a
coalition had been formed betwee/i the
Douglas and Black Republican members,
under which tlid House waworganized
l?v the election of Douglas and
Black Republican officer*.' In the Senate
the same coalition existed ; and two
I Black Republican United States Senators
would have been elected, had not
six Breckiniidge Senators left the seat of
Government, thus preventing a quorum.
The Sergeant at-Arms was sent to arrest
the absconding Senators, but had not
succeeded.
What can the Southern supporters of
this Mulatto Republican candidate for
the Presidency say for themselves now f
This is?iot the first, nor will it be the
lastcoalilion their favorite will form with
the Black Republicans. If Douglas'
Southern supporters do not repudiate
him now, he will certainly repudiate
them immediately after the election.
