FAVORS.
We are indebted to onr young friend,
Willmm E. Eari.k, of ths University of Virginia,
for n copy of the eloquent address of
.Hon. P. W. VooriikkA, of Indiana, "The
American Citizen," delivered before the Literary
Societies of that Institution, July 4th,
1860. Also for a copy of the University
Magazine for October, in wldcli we find
many very intcreetiag articles.
' THE PALMETTO FLAQ.
The citizens residing in West Greenville,
erected a Liberty Pole on last Saturday afternoon,
npon the top of which floats the
Palmetto Flag. The Lope Star has a place
in the pieture, underneath which ie"Seeeeelon,"
nnd the Palmetto Tree. Other atars
arc to be added as other States wheel into
flic movement to establish a Southern Confederacy.
Shortly after it was raised, the
Uuiversity Riflemen came along, and after
saluting it with a volley frem their rifles,
gave three cheers for the new Republic.
RESIGNATION OF SENATORS.
We are rejoiced to see that our Senators
in Congress, as well st Senator Toombs, of
Georgia, have resigned their pieces in the
Senate, determined no longer to set in council
with men who have no regard for their
section. The resignations of &|rs*r*. Ciiiesnut
and Hammond, we presume, will take
place immediately. Mr. Toombs will leave
(he Senate on the 4th of March next.?
These are no idle,acts. They are occasioned
by a sense of duty which these gentlemen
owe to the Svuth and to their States,
and will no doubt he followed by similar
nets on the part of other Senators and members
of Congress. No true Southerner will
hold office under a Black Republican President
GEORGIA.
The poeltion of the State cf Georgia is a
proud one. Her Legislatnre, in refnafng to
eleet a U. S. Senator in the place of Senator
Tvkrsox, has shown more determination to
witiidraw from the Union than all the resolutions
that eould be passed. She baa indicated
that ah# now intend# to aot. With
Georgia to follow or lead, the State of South
.Carolina need not fear to sever her connec*
1 (ton with the Union. Her people are arou ?
ed to a sense of their danger, and we hare
no idea that it ia their intention to submit
to ihe domination of Ijxcalx'i adrninistratlon.
ftlwo to secession, and bar
honor, safety and independence alike forbid
that aba *hoold now fetter in tho discharge
of duty. We rejoiee that <J corgis \
is in tho South?a ad tliot her eitizono wilj
be true and loyal to tin sootioa in whioh
they live. If oho welnUku the proud position
he now occupies, and we believe she will,
it shall be nor brightest joy to efaitn her
as th? Stats of ear nativity. Mighty in
wealth, strong in numbers, she will be in
, the new Republic what she has been in the
t* former?" the Empire State " of the South !

CAPITAL Or THE SOUTHERN CON- ,
PEDBBAC7.
Several locations Lave bcon spoken of for
the capital of the neiv Southern Confederacy.
Atlanta. Gn? hasboeit brought forward
aa a suitable place, by a oorres|*>ndcnt of
thn Guardian, but in deference to the opinions
of others, wo think that Columbia has
superior claims to any place yet mentioned.
Let the new and magnificent capitol become
the seat of government for the Southern
Republic. It is accessible from till points,
and its location for health and 6cencry is
unsurpassed l?y any in the South.
A CONVENTION CALLED.
The Legislature of South Carolina has.
by a unanimous vote of both Houses, culled
a convention of the people of the State.
The election for delegates will take place
on the 6th T>eeeinber, and the lltli December
the time for holding the same. The
unanimity which greeted this measure is
indeed most gratifying. Our people ore
now, wo believe, a uuit in regard to resistance
to Northern oppression and fanaticism.
There may he n few who yet, in the delusion
with which ITope sometimes bewilder
men, believe that the' feeling which
now burns in the hearts of Southern people,
will dio out, and that THE UNION
will yet continue I Til ERE IS NO UNION.
A fierce and powerful maturity in the
Northern States, of what was once a great
and glorious confederacy, have proclaimed
that there Is a war between them and us?
that it is an " irrepreasible conflict," in
which one or the other is to conquer.?
iiruccivrwi mere in iu i/c uu uauiu c?Nii|iru
inisc*. The <1ia has been cast. To link
ourselves with them in a Union where there
is no equality?ia to submit to wrong And
utter ruin. In (he separation, we at leant
perceive the path of honor. There woe a
lime-whan to apeak of Diaunion was to We
accused of madness. There was also a lime
when the hopeful among us thought that
the battle for equality of the States could
be fought in the Union. With a Black liepublican
President and Cabinet?with a
Judiciary from the same party?with an
overwhelming Republican nod Abolition
majority in Congress, where ia the scintilla
lion of hops for the snoceas of such n warfare.
The Union is now virtually dissolved.
It ia a meaningless phrase. We may speak
of the glories of the past?dwell upon the
bright pages of our country's history, but
should we ever hear the praises of the
rnrstNT U.nion rung in our ears, the feeling
it will produce will not be of contempt or
of scorn, hut like the sensations one expe.
rienccs when he hears thj maniac scream
for the lost idol of his household.
Let our wisest and beat men be sent to
the Convention. Let them be men fearless
and independent. Wa want no man who
will ignore the dangers which he*?t us, and
go for submission and consequent degradation.
The occasion will require men of sober
judgment, who by their wisdom, prudenee
and discretion, will secure'the co-operation
of all our people. We have such
among us. Let them b? sent to the ap*
proaching Convention.
Messrs. Allen A Dial, of Columbia, imported
by the John Eraser, about four thou

It is with much gratification I see that
our Legislature baa appointed Wednesday,
the 21st day of this month, as a day of fasting,
prayer and humiliation, in reference to
the present state of our political affuirs,
that the citixens cf tho State may humble
themselves before God, end implore Ilia
blessing upon them, that tkoy might be
guided by the influences of Ilieepirit in the
course they should adopt, and crown with
success their efforts, that their rights and
liberties may be secured. It h, therefore,
most devoutly to be desired tbrt every
church and congregation in the State,
whether blessed with a pastor or not, should
assemble together on the appointed day,
and fervently offer their prayers to the
lligh and Mighty Kuler of nations for the
accomplishment of the ohjeet so dear to our
heart*. ? - i W. B. J.

We have examined tlie Public Offices,
and find tliem propeily attended to,
and the papers neatly arranged and in
good orfler, no far as we are capable of
judging. i'l
We And tbe Court-' House in good
order, but would recommend-the propriety
of having seats prepared for- llie
accommodation of witnesses before the
Grand Jury.
In regard to the Poor House, the
Grand Jury take groat pleasure in testifying
to die good management of the
paupers. The houses are neat and in
good order, tlie pauper* comfortable,
and tho Commissioners deservethe
thanks of The District for the faithful
discharge of their-duties. We woald
recommend that the yard in the rear of
Steward's house be fenced in, ns well as
the other buildings ; also, that the front
fence be repaired, and' the chimney of
the Steward's house be torn down and
rebuilt, and that the Grave-yard be substantially
enclosed.
It has been reported to the body that
a bridge is much needed at the Creek
near Slush's Mill; also, that the lioad
near Dunham's Bridge is in bad condition.
The
Grand Jury begleare to suggest
to the Legislature the propriety of having
Free Negros removed from the Slf.le,
ns they are a great nuisance.
We would recommend that tbe various
offices in the new Court House, be
whitewashed. as well u the passage*.
The Grand Jury would reepectfully
suggest that the various Beat Companies
elect a Magistrate in tbcrir respective
Beats, and that they be required to
give bond with good security for the
faithful discharge of their duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

What Our Emmies Predict.?We
clip the following from the Philadelphia
Enquirer. We clip it frrim an article in
which that paper ridicules the idea that
anything will he clone by the Southern
States. We commend it to our readers :
" Georgia says to Alabama, * you go
first Alabama says to South Carolina,
4 you go first,' and Soutb Carolina seem?
to be divided between the adroeates ol
* separate ' nud ' co-operative ' secession,
with a certain number of so-calU>d 4 suV
missiontsta,* probably large enough tc
3nash all action. But something must be
one, and we have no doubt something
will be. High-stomached and full ol
ire are these gentry, and it will never dc
to back down after all their high sound'
ing threats. Thete romsin* the usual
safety-valve of Southern politicians?
resolutions. We have no donbr, therefore,
that a convention of some sort will
assemble, which will pass the most reso
lute resolutions, make and listen to th?
most fierce ?n<l fiery speeches, which
will be dolv printed io the New Yorkl
I fere Id end oilier rtniation paper*, after
which tbey will adjourn to meet again!
on the * mine of the Capitol,* end dieunion
will die* natural death."

Watch her movements with interested

she was hot-heaJed and foolish," says
oi^e, " but now I recognise her sagacity

against South .Carolina," says another,
44 believing that she complained without
cause and magnified mole hills into
mountains, bat, it is clear she saw the
danger ahead and wished to prepare
against it. I sin with her now.
It is common to hear such expressions
as these fall from the lips of those
who formerly looked upon South Carolina
as a blustering bragadocia, who
carried n dagger upon tbe tongue and
cowardice in tbe beart. Now, how differently
is she estimated, iler narrow
limits are covered with hero*, and friends
may be counted by thousands who
would fly to her rescue and make common
cause with her in the defence of
common interests and honor so imminently
imperilled.?Augutla Democrat.
Aftkii Secession.?The position of
the Southern States, after secession, is
thus noted by the New York Uerald :
44 From all sources of intelligence to
which we have access, and from every
sympton and sign of the times, it appears
highly probable that a considerable
number of the Southern Stales will
withdraw from the Union between tbe
period of Mr. Lincoln's election awd
that assigned for his inauguration. II
only two withdraw, they will be followed
by others, and at last by all, if any attempt
should be made to coerce them
by armed force. In that contingency
the*Capitol, with all tbe public records,
archives and State papers in the departments,
would fail to the lot of the
Southern Confederacy for the District
of Columbia would then be within its
territory, and the Northern Slates would
be shut out from Washington. Thu*
the prestige .of. 1)14. National Capitol,
as well m the national wenltii, would be
triiU the South, and a Northern Con
greee would be only a Hump Farlia
ment. The English and French governinenU
would at one* recognize lb?
independence of the South and court
its friendship!, for the take, of ita cotton
and market for their manufacture*, foi
five million* of British population arg
depending on Squthern cotton for em
.pipy ment.
Georgia Actinu, wot Talking.?
The South Carolinian bays :
" A letter was received by Governoi
Gist, frpm Governor Brown, of Georgia
staling that he had added a clause ti
hit message, recommending the immo
diato call of a Stale Convention. \V<
hope tho citizens of Georgia may move
promptly, and sever a connection wbici
trammels not only their propeity, bu
that of every other Southern State
Let public-spirited men rise^o its con
sideralion, as a great matter of public
policy. There is no reason why tin
New England States, and some other!
should be any more prosperous an<
llourisbing than the Canadian province!
and tbey would not be any in advanc
of thein but for the long and svstemnt
ic operations of the Federal Govern
ment, through which capital, and will
it population nud power, have been ac
cumulated there. The longer the Un
ioji lasts, the stronger and more hoslil
do our enemies become. We hope tli<
leading men of Georgia, and the otbe
Southern States, irrespective of old Fed
cral parlies, will now think, speal
write, nnd act for the interest, tafot}
and independence of the South."
