scclion ot' the Union has an abidiii?; and "powerful interest. Ij^ilJ not do for South Carolina to manifest an indifference on such an occasion. The South will/move in almost an undivided phalanx for the reelection of Mr. Van Buren, and the more decidedly it manifests this disposition, in the iniatory measures, the more assured will be the moral effect of such a manifestation on the other States. Apathy in this matter may result in consequences perhaps to be hereafter regretted.?Southern Pat.

MARRIED, On Monday morning, the 24th inst. by Daniel - Scarborough, Esq. at the house of Capt. Lewis Peebles, Mr, Jesse W. Peebles, of Kershaw District, to Miss Sarah King, of Darlington. The lovers had met?the morning was fair, And smiling nature displayed all her charms; But danger hovered o'er the happy pair, Who lilttle drcam'd of war's dire alarms. In terror they flod from impending ruin, But raptures soon banish'd their sad despair; For Heaven watched o'er them with a tender carc; A father welcomed them, with looks serene, And connubial joys crown'd the happy scone.

Domestic and iiural Economy, Sporting Intelligence, &c. The Literary department will embrace interesting and instructive Tales, Narratives, Advoniuivs, Sketches of Travels, places and persons; Anecdotes, Poetry, Extracts Iron-, and notices of new works. All new discoveries in the Sciences and Arts, as well as interesting papers relating to either, will be immediately noticed, and when of sufficient interest will be transferred to our columns; or such extracts given as will furn.sh full information to our areders. In the Agsicultural department, special attention will be paid to the great interests of the South. From our Planters, we will endeavor to obtain much practical and useful information which now lies buried and known but to themselves. In order that we may the more fully and effectually carry out this part of our plan, we propose to make frequent excursions into the different sections, not only of this, but also of.the adjoining States, for the purpose of personally inspecting and reporting on all the various operations which may be carried on, on the plantation we may visit. By persuing this plan steadily, (as we hope to do) much highly useful information will be obtained, which cannot fail to be of immense service to the Agricultural community, inasmuch as our planters will thus become acquainted with the practices of other sections of the country, and may from time to time adopt such as may promise a greater recompence, than those, they may at the time follow. Nor shall we confine ourselves to practical information only, but from the rich stores of know ledge which are to be found among our planters, we hope to draw much which will prove useful and interesting. Horticulture will also claim onr attention, and we will endeavor to raise it from the low estate in which it now exists among us to one more worthy of if We will accordingly give not only practical directions, for the cultivation of fruits. Flowers and Vegetables, but entering in to the scientific department, we will publish whatever we may find interesting.? Descriptions of new fruits, flowers and vegetables, as well as their culture, will be given from time to time. The forcing' department, which is but little attended to, iu the South, embracing the formation buil ding and management of hot beds, conservatories and hot houses will also be attended to. Domastic and Rural Economy will not be neglecte'J, but whatever we can find likely to promote either, will be given in our columns. Sporting Intelligence, Anecdotes. On Dits, and various miscellaneous matters? which cannot well be classed, will swell our pages, and add'interest to our periodical. In furtherance of our object, we will do all in our power to render this periodical highly interesting and instructive, and one which shall be welcomed by every member of such families as may patonise it.? To effect this, while we hope to contribute our share to the Original Literature of the day, as well as to add considerably to the slock of Agricultural information, yet we will freely draw from the sources open to us, in the numerous daily, weekly monthly and quarterly publications, which embracing every subject, abound not only in America, but also in Eutope, and from these we will select only such articles as may prove highly interesting or instructive. The sources which are open to us in each department are ample, and we trust we shall be able to render the Southern Compendium a highly acceptable visiter wherever known. Political and religious discussions will be excluded, and while we have our preference to both, yet we will not admit of any thing which may be likely to wound the feelings of our readers. We have thus sketched the plan of our periodical, and respectfully solicit for it support, both by subscriptions and contriautions. .
