At present his lovely little face is a comfort to1 me? Iris lips breathe that fragrance which it is one of the loveliest kindnesses of nature that she haa given to infants; a sweetness of smell ' more delightful than all the treasures of Arabia. What ndortihle beauties of (iod and Nature's bounty we live in ivitkoat knowledge! How few have ever seemed to think aw infant beauti ful! Ilrit |o me there seems to be a beauty in the earliesi dawn of infancy, which is not inferior to tbo attractions of childhood, .especially when ttiey sleep. Their looks excite a more tender train of emotions* It is like tremulous anxiety we feel for a candle newly lighted, which we dread going out Tns Alt.igator.?Towards the latter part of January, 1814, the United States schooner Alligator, mounting eight or ten guns, with a cornplimentof forty men, was attacked in Stone river (six miles south of the channel of diarieston,S.C.) by six boats froin the enemv's squadron off the mouth of the river, having on board one hundred and forty men, and succeeded in j beating them off,-after a warm action of thirty : minutes, ie which the eueniy suffered very so- | verelV. 'Hie loss 011 board the Alligator was twoki.l d and two wounded. Great credit is due to her conunander, sailing-master Dent, and crew, for defeating a force so greatly superior in numbers. The Alligator was afterwards lost in a severe gale, and twenty-three of her men drowned. A loeomotivefengine it is said, is composed of 5,418 pipces. i Onb Way to Save tub South.?A corros I pundent of the Colum jus Enquirer, in commcnting 011 the exci rtmcnt now pervading the coun* I try, claims to give his opinion. He says: " If it is thought that the admission of California without regard to the line of 3(5 30 will min the South, it is time for us to begin to ask ourselves what will save her? If we believe this, it is time we were up and doing. My plan is this: Let the South pledge itself, as did the fathers of the revolution in relation to Britain, not to purchase their goods or any of their manufactured articles, and you will bring them to terms at once. Withhold the trade of the South, and you will see those arrant disturbers of our peace lick the dust But not the dagger into the hands of the assassin who you think would stah you to the heart, nor warm the adder that would fasten his fangs into your vitals. "It is a Weil settled fact, that if we know a man to be an enemy, or if we thought him to be so, we would not give him our patronage; for if we did we should he recreant to ourselves, as he who aids his foe is a foe to himself. How then is it that men appear to he ready eat a common thinker, swallow him who'' without greasing, if he happens to differ as regards a remedy.? It has been said hv some that men who differ with them on this question are enemies to their country; so it was said of Stephens and Toombs in '48. What, flesh have those great Caesars fed upon that has made them so wise? There may be perchance another Brutus iu Rome! 1 see some almost ready to assassinate those who differ with them in relation to this vexed question. If the wise men of the world differ as regards the adjustment, why should not ali ? Is it the love of the South that j men have become so patriotic all at once? Ij fear not If so, why do those men, or at least I some of them, leave I heir beloved Sou!

Mr. Rhett's Treason.?The Augusta Republic, a good Whig paper, has'a strong article on Mr. Clay's denunciation of Mr. Rhett. The following are the concluding paragraphs. ISuiiih Carolinian. " Who calls Mr. Rhett a traitor I A man who, though possessed of transcendant abilities and grown old in a long term of brilliant services to his country, denounces the institution of slavery as a wrong, an evil, and a curse? who recently said, in the United Mates Senate, he would yield his life before he would vote for j the extension of slavery. Who is .Mr. Rhett ( ' A true-hcarU*d, noble-minded defiMnler ol* our ' rights and institutious? one who has seen twelve year# 'service-in-Congress, to-lentless and cruel our Northern brethren have liecome.

" We admired and loved Mr. Clay. We j were no summer fiiend of his. Wc followed him tluutigli all fortunes, and. and every change j ol seasons.

We did not see said paper, except at some little distance, and onlv speak from information, but we have no doubt as to the correctness of our information. Doubtless Arnold may have received commendatory letters from Wis brethren after he had deserted the standard of American freedom ; and why should not congenial spirits attempt to console and soothe Senator Foote, after he has deserted his friends and gone over to the enemy in the worst and fullest sense of the word. Traitors tire never without friends, and desperate efforts are sometinios made to sustain sinking nibn, in order to make political capital out of the operation, but we opine it will take abler heads than those who wore engaged in tiie work at the barbecue to write Gen. Foote up as fast as the almost-unanimous voice of the press can write him down to that level to which lie has proved himself to belong. Gen.

CELEBRATION O.N SAMMY SWAMP. Clakkndov, 5th July, 1650. The Anniversary of our National Independence was celebrated on Sammy Swamp, by an unusually large assemblage of the citizens of Clarendon, with a spirit, unanimity and cnthu ...i! i .i t - . i _ _ siasm, which ine msioneai importance ui me Day, and the "impending crisis'' to our institutions, were well calculated to evoke. The attention of the audience having first been directed, in prayer and supplication to the Throne of CI race, from which all human and national blessings are dispensed, the Declaration of Independence was read in a clear, impressive, and effective manner, by Mr. Cbovin Richardson. To this succeeded an Oration by Dr. James McCauley, teeming with patriotism and eloquence and for more than an iioui enchaining the attention of a gratified and delighted auditory. The company was then invited to partake of a sumptuous Dinner prepared lor the occasion; and of which the jIoii. JL. F. Khanie and Capt. j M. Al. Ben how, (as presiding oliicers,) dis- j pensed the hospitalities, in a manner both to ! please and to ndcrtain. Of this large concourse it was gratifying to | observe that the Ladies constituted so considerable a portion, as well as so important an element. Never perhaps on any similar occasion, ! was there ever more beauty and.lovoliness assembled to grace, dignify, or enhance the en- ; jovnicnt, of a patriotic festival. Amidst ail, it was not a little remarkable, that whilst the heart of every one seemed to be j pouring forth of its patriotism; whilst every j hour and every minute was occupied by a speech or sentiment on the great and momentous topics of the Day, not a word was uttered o(Stale or /oral politic.*?no discordant crv of Hank or Aiili'liank?no rivalry of candidates'?no eonnothing n? ilii'ii~nCt tlnr Mum. scls, of tliu policy of the State. All seemed to accord in the great necessity of first resisting! the common danger?of repelling the foreign J enemy; and of fortifying and strengthening the ' hands of those already in the van oi the contest; and who had hitherto proved firm, faithful and incorruptible in conducting it. It was a spectacle worthy of the Day and of the occasion, it was a scene that the signers of the Declaration ofludepeudeuce might have beheld with pleasure. It is certainly the noble boast 01 Clareudon, that she has no citizen, who can not forego his party, his political predilections, ami even iris ambition, to sustain the tit ate?the fc'outli?and her institutions, in this, the most perilous hour of her enicigency. 'i'iie viands having been removed, the following sentiments were announced by the Presiding Ollicers, and responded to, in a manner that bespoke both unanimity and enthusiasm.

The Orator of the Day: We are happy to hail him as citizen of Clarendon. May he live to fill that sphere of usefulness, for which nature and his own ex| ertions have so properly fitted him. Dr. McCauluy having replied in the happiest and most appropriate manner, concluded with | the following sentiment: j The Spirit of Liberty: Like some redolent flower of the forest?the more pressed and trampled upon, the richer will ho the perfume.

Manning: His integrity and services have justilied the confidence of the people of Clarendon. Col. Manning having been also toasted by the Orator of the day, (Dr. James McCauley,) and being loudly called for, rose and responded in a speech that seemed to have awakened a deep, intense, ami well sustained interest in the aucd to have blended the feelings of liis constituents into his own strong ami inflexible determination, to resist the common danger at any and every hazard. iJo concluded by offering the following sentiment: My Constituents of Clarendon: We have been associated hitherto in cultivating the arts of peace; but should we hereafter be drivem to arms, we shall still ho together?ready nil of us, among the foremost in tiie land, to discharge any duty which the South may require from j strong hands and willing hearts. ! By T. D. lihame?Dr. Jno. J. Ingram: Our i faithful Representative; he has been equal to our expectations. Thus evoked, Dr. Ingram rose amidst all those cheering manifestations of a popular sympathy, which prove him to be so great a favorite in Clarendon. His remarks told with thrilling effect, and were received with the loudest plaudits. In conclusion he tendered the following sentiment: The Palmetto Stale: The faithful sentinel of! the South ; pure in principle, linn in purpose, j over miedtul nflier lmr.nr? she is ominl to the i crisis which approaches her. 15 v (-'apt.

' By W. F. Sherriff?The Citizens of the Northern States: In the struggle for Independence we proudly acknowledge them brothers. They then had white faces and pure hearts: but since, they have been metamorphosed to white faces and black hearts;??we should disown the broth-, erhood, and be brothers only in purity, and enemies in traitorship. By B. F. Brogdon?Eden was originally a > Desert; with woman it became a Paradise.

Let him lead on, and we follow, and if strife must come, to him we prophetically look, as the young Washington of the Southern Confederacy. The New York Herald, we are glad to observe, expresses the hope that Powers' statue of Hon. John O. Calhoun, lost in the ship Elizabeth, oft* Fire Island Light House, may yet he recovered. It was carefully packed, and was placed near the koel, which still remains, with many of its adjacent timbers. This Statue wasorderedb va company of gentlemen in Charleston,and who lately.at therequest of the City Council, had consented to permit it tobecome the property of the city. Its lo<s would he regarded as a public calamity, and we earnestly hope the Herald may bo right in the. expectation of its recovery. It is :i noticeable fact that John Quincy Adams anticipated the great renown acquired by Sir Robert Peel many years ago. Returning from the mission to England, to Washington city, in 1817, he remarked, \yhilc speaking of the public men of England, that for extensive education ami knowledge, combined with superior endowments and effective oratory, he regarded Mr. Peel as first amongst those then advancing into renown?an opinion remarkably sustained by tno result. 7 uk Stkamsiiip Atlantic.?According to the log of the Atlantic^ she \yas hut just si$ ?lays ami one hour from land to land?that is, from Cape Clear to Cape Race?thus making the passage in loss than a week, and with only live hours fair wind.
