^ssm\ P ^ _i ?= ' .?-1 From Mulboroogk From the last 800 of remperanea, we take the following authentic account of tfie action of the Clio Committee of Vigilauoa, in refereooe to the ohm of M?e Hitchenses: Clio, 8. C, Oct. 2f, 1960. To view of the excitement end exaggerated reports in circulation consequent upon the arrest of J. K. llitchens and his aoo, F. 0. Ilitohees, by the Vigilance Committee of this place, on the eunpMon of an attempt to exeite an innirreclion in the neighborhood, the undersigned, by request of said committee, _ I a % 2a xL? fAtl : l>eg imto iu iuuuiii u1? iuhukiu^ ns n truo And correct statement of facts in relation thereto. F. C. Hitchens had been here about four weeks, and J. K. Hitchens about two weeks. Reports derogatory to their characters, followed then from North Carolina, where they had resided for the last four or fire years, in conse?]tieooo of wkieb, the citizens of this community determined to remove them. A meeting was called for that purpose, and arrangements made to effect ilie desired purpose. Priot to taking action in the mattor and for other purr>uses, a committee of safety wns organzed, and a committee appointed to wsit jpon them and inform them of the determination of the committoe, to wit : that they must leave the District immediately, which they finally consented to Jo. While preparing to leave, tho propriety of searching their trunks was suggested. On examination, numerous papers were found, among which were two invoices for firearms, from Joseph M or win. Agent at New York. Several loiters from persons North, and copies of Ivttcrs to various persons. These circumstances aroused our suspicion, and we determined to arrest the parlies and hold thein in custody until further investigations could be made. A letter from Adauis <fe Co.'s Express Agent, at Wilmington, N. C., was also found, notifying J. K. Hitchens that a b??x to his address was in his possession, with bill for collection, for about $300. This was tbo only bill found wbich bore any evidence of shipment. Tbo box wtta direeled lo.Cbuaw, S. C., and we understand lias been forwarded from Wilmington, N. 0., to Cheraw, R. C., and is now tlicre. Tbo $900 invoice bore no evidence of shipment, and wc havo information from Jos. Merwin, Agent at New York, that this invoice was never shipped, bat was sent as a guide, aa to the price and quality, in making selections. There was nothing of an incendiary character in any of tlio correspondence of eiihor of the llitchens. Neither was there any proof of either of them entertaining sentiments unfriendly to the institutions of tbo South, or of their having ever expressed such sentiments. In explanation of the small bill of firearms shipped to J. K. liilclions, it was staled by him that they were intended for his son who was engaged in the transportation business across the plains to New Mexico* That lie bad a son engaged in this business was satisfaclojjly proven. Taking all tbo circumstances into ! consideration, 'in connection with the fact that there wus no disposition to ' c\ade an investigation, and bis having 1 spoken of the order for firearm?, prior to bis arrest, and the quality ami quantity of the arms ordered, tbo committee was induced to believe that the in- 1 tuition of the parties accused wore not ! of an insurrectionary character, and ' U>ey have consequently been discharged.

Position of ViRaiNJAewThe Uii hinond Enquirer, in predicting a dissolution of the Union as inevitably conreqiirnt on the olection of Lincoln, says: " Virginia can no more prevent the dissolution o( this Union after LincohPa lection, than she can prevent that 4 iwiion. She will be powerless to pre *vnt civil war with ull its attendant horrors. Any one of the Southern States can, ovd some of I hem will, involve the tt hole country, North as well as South, in the internecine strife of a bloody and desolating civil war. Virginia will, by a majority of her people, decide upon resistance, while a large minority will desire to postpone resistance for the ' overt act hut hitched as sho is, to the Southern States, she will bo 'dragged into a common destiny with thcin, t?o matter what may Lo the desire of her people.

Marshal), lias recently finished the census returns t?f Greenville and iu immediate vicinity. The |>opu)nlion of the town is about three thousand. Wc have not as yet been furnished with an accurate statement of the number of whiles and blacks, but Mr. DieKKr assures lis that the ngffVcgoto population is in the neighborhood of the above figures. Tbero are in the town two hundred and eighty" seven dwellings. Tin? number of deaths the past year have been forty-three. Dickky deserves much praise for the very faithful manner in which he has pre" pnred his returns. He has taken much pains to linvc mem coiTecr, nnu we u??uui nut, that his labors will prove satisfactory to the people generally. MiNUTK MEN. It will bo seen from the Resolutions adopted at a meet big of our citizens, held n few Inys since, that effort* nro being mndo to organize n company of Minute Men in thi9 place similar to those that have been organized in other portions of the State. The object of these associations is no doubt known to most of our readers. They are intended for the two-fold purpose of protecting themselves and their property from the evils of Abolitionists in our midst, and resisting encroachments from abroad, if the State should demand their serviees. Their purposes are known, and their meetings will bo public? giving to every one an opportunity of enrolling themselves if they desire. This is ns it should be. We want no secret military or political organizations in our midst. The wrongs that we have suffered, and are still suffering at the hands of Abolitionists are public, and if resisted, as they should be, it should be dono openly, manly, and independently,. We have believed, and still believe, that llib election of Lincoln will produce <x feeling throughout the entire South which has never yet been aroused upon the subject of Southern rigid*. That fooling, when aroused, will be opposed to submission. Ilia election and inauguration\s incompatible v/ith the existence of the Union as ft Union of equality ; and to remain in it after the election of a Black Republican President, is to acknowledge all that has been said against ua and the institutions of the South bv Ah olilionists and Blank Republicans during the past twenty five yatm If the South submits to the election of a Black Republican President in 18(10, we know of no eauas I in existence now, or that can be created, thaf aviJl drive her out of the Union. THE SPEECHES OF COLS. ORB AND ASHMORE. We were prevented last week from notic lng the speeches which these gentlemen de^. livercd on Tuesday during the recess of Courts They were listened to by a large number of I lie citizens of t he District, who evinced by their earnest countenances the deep interest which they now feel nnd take in the momentous questions of the day. Col, Our addressed the people first lie had no doubt thatLlNcotN would be elected! in which event, he counseled the South not to remain in the Union. lie depi icatcd separate State action, but would g? for disunion if severnl of tlie States would co-operate in the matter. lie did not favor the calling of n Convention of the people l?y tiie Legir Inture if Lincoln' was elected, but thought the sending sf Commissioners to oilier Southern Slates to counsel with them in record to the matter, the wisest and must prudent course tu adopt. Col. Aowmobb also believed that the Black Republican candidate?Lincoln?would bo elected, and that should such prove the ease, the cause of the ftouth was hopeless in the Union. He had no confidence in tlic belief, which even a few (Southern people entertained, that Lincoln, if elected, would make a conservative President. lie read several extracts from the life of Lincoln, which showed, conclusively, what his political principles and character had been, nnd that the " higher law " doctrines ot tlio Abolition party found in him a warm ndvoentc. Col. Asiimobk counseled rccLtaiicn in the event of Lincoln's election, and that the South should prepare herself for any emergency. We have not attempted to follow cither of the speakers in all that they said. We have only indicated What their sentimenti were upon the all-abeorbiug question of the Presidential election. Their remarks wen frequently interru* 1 by applause.

Keepcoting the location of the School, we let the circular speak for itself: " There is no more desirable situation for a school thnn the town of Aikon. It ia eo healthy that invalid* fly to it at all seasons of the year. Parents, therefore, need never fear to send even their sick daughter* to its pure, dry, invigorating atmosphere. Beside this, no other plncc is more accessible, since tlie South Carolina Railroad passes directly through it Let prudent and anxious parents think of these things, when about" to select a school for their daughters, whoro they must spend the greater portion of the year. Let them? c*pccially in thiu day of jtolitical trouble?determine to patronize their own home Institutions, managed by those who were born in their midst, who areliving in their midst, and who expect to die in their midst; and we promise to do nil in our power to tit. their daughters for whatever future nwnits them." tW "We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of Messrs.

Jtetolfed, further, That In the case of the formation of a Southern Confederacy, they will stand ready to go to any point of danger outside of the limits of South Carolina, to which the authorities of the 3tate may order them. Unsolved, That in case any subaerllier to this Constitution shall have kindred military dutlci, incompatitde with tlda mode of service. such obligation shall relieve him from this special engagement* The Minute Men will hold a public me.et ing on Friday, the 2d of November, at 3 o'clock, P.

Dear Brethren?This Association, yon are aware, was recently formed nt the Union Church, Marietta, on tho Oth October, I860. Deing in her infancy, she has only $45 to ^>egiu with.

The Association is divided into f tir a adot l< >n m ilia aiki hlmva (i i*a on v i 11 u II., and the oilier below. The desire is entertained of occupying both, having one Colporteur in each section nt the same time, beginning in the Spring and ending in September, just before the meeting of the Association in October. The necessity of an effort oPthis character is very evident from the state of the country, and we would enter the field nt once if we had the money and men But as several of our Churches had sent up their amounts to the Association frorp which they withdrew to join this, it will require time for them to di?|>o*e of their crops to give them the means of contributing to tlie benevolent objects of tlio body.
