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. I

Tin? 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. We believe that a large
majority of llio pcoplo of Virginia, if
the oi'oorlunitv of a State Convention
w ro allowed them, would vote for immediate
resistance, and for a common
uc.-tiuy with.the Southern Stales; r.nd
vi.li this belief, tcr. would advi*e the.

POPULATION OF GREENVILLE.
M. D. Dickky, Assistant U. S. 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

" There is no more desirable situation for

CO INSTITUTION
Of the Miunte Men of Greenville.
At. a meeting held in this place on the
2Mb tilt,, by a number of gentlemen, for tho
purpose of organizing an association of Minute
Men, the following was unanimously
adopted ns their Constitution;'
, Whereas, the election of a Illnck Republican
as President of the United States is
rendered almost certain; and whereas, iu
such a contingency life whole spirit of tho
Constitution of the United States will have
been violated, and the only security loft to
tho Southern States, in regard to their most
sacred rights, will be in their separation
from those States through whom this flagrant
wrong will have been done; and
whereas, it is tho duty which every good
citizen owes fo the State to whieh fiis allegiance
is due, to encounter every labor, privation
and hazard, that may be necessary
to preserve the liberty of the Common
weaun:
Jiesolvrd, That. Hinge whose names nre
h< reunto stibecrihed, do pledge Ihemsel vos
to each other, end to the State of South Carolinn,
to stand roady as the Minute Men of
Greenville, to meet any demand which the
authorities of the State may make npdta them
for the preservation of the public liberty.
^Rctolved, That to this end they will take
such measures to prepare themselves for service
in the field as may be neocssary.
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

FOR THE Ri'LTIlKUN KXTERFIURE.
To the Churches of the Qreenyille
Baptist Association.
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. A Colportage Hoard was,
nevertheless appointed, that so soon as a
sufficient amount of money and suitable j>ereons
can he obtained, they slionld commence
operations. 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. The Board consists of ltev.
G. \y. Brooks, Chairman, Dr. J. Harrison,
Clerk, and Mr. John Charles is Treasurer,
who lives eleven miles below Greenville C.
II., on tlie Augusta Bond. To either of these
members any sums inny be given, which
will be handed to the Treasurer, and will be
applied to the object directed, ltev. Mr.
Iir?M>ks, the Chairman, lives nt Greenville
O. II , and as it may bo more convenient for
soine to put their contributions into his
hands, be will receive aud pay then to the
Treasurer.

Narrow Esoai'r of Col. Preston.
A letter from Col. Preston, Minister to
Spain, giro* an account of the narrow
escape of himself and family from
drowning in a vessel on which tlioy had
cnihaiked at Marseilles, en route for
Madrid. Col. P. was saved by the dosneratc
exertions of Maltese and Catalan
boatmen.
Guain Coming Sat'th.?Tito Nashville
Banner says :
44 A thousand tons of freight per day
are damped at the l.oaisville depot of
the Nashville Railroad, owing to the increased
shipments of breadstuff* South,
and the road can only carry away half
ot it daily.
Industry.?What ever busies the
mind without corrupting it, baa at least
this use, that it rescues tho day from
idloners, and he that is never idle will
not often be vicious.
If any ono speaks evil of you let
your life be so that none will believe

44 The Republican party is to lake
