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.

Southern Cabinet,
OF Litorsilu;e, Agriculture, Arts ami
Under the above title, i: is proposed tor
publish in ibis place in January next, ?
moilllily p< riodi.'tii, l>> In: devoted to Amusemenl
and luslnn ii 'ii, embracing Literature,
the Arts aid Sciem es, Agriculture,
Horticulture. 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.

kvill be published on the 15th ofach month,
