TMW> JOTOHAIL, CAMDEN. S. C. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12,1850. . Return Days. For Kershaw, Saturday, Oct. 19. Sumter, " u 25. Lancaster, " Nov. 2. Court is held two weeks in Sumter, ? Our Market. There has been a good deal of animation in our cotton market since our last issue. The demand has been equal to the supply. Yesterday's sales amounted to about 300 bales, at previous quotations, 11J to 13|. There is no change in prices to-day. BTWe are sorry to learn that reports unfa- j vorable to the Camden market have gone abroad, and we take this opportunity of saying they are totally unfounded. Our market will compete with any, and we have no fears in saying that those who try it once, will come again. The business aspect which our streets present, is truly enlivened. 55jp"We ask attention to the communication of "A Daughter of Kershaw " We have the tcoinen ?where are the men? As for ourselves, we promise, upon the honor of true knights, that our plumes shall be wared by the breath of herorder, and our lances gleam in the sunlight of her smiles after victory, or measure its length by our side upon our Thermopylae. Mass Meeting in Pendleton. _We learn by the Pendleton Messenger, of Friday last, that a very large and enthusiastic South em Rights Moss Meeting was held at that place on the Tuesday preceeding, at which it is supposed about four thousand persons were present? Among the speakers were Gov. Seabrook, Col: Memminger, Gen. Whitnerand Col. A. P. Calhoun of Ala. Resolutions of the right stamp were introduced and passed without a dissenting voice. We annex the following: Resolved, That the allegiance of her citizens is due to South Carolina alone; therefore, we pledge ourselves to support " at all hazards, and to the last extremity," whatever course may be decided on by the people of South Carolina, which has for its object the inaintainance ot the rights of the states. "('barge, Chester, charge, On, Stanly, on. Acts the Turntir, once more." Now, brother Fulton, if our steel pierces you, arc vnn nnt a turning and as this is October a fall turnip? Verily,you area noble plant. Our ideas of an Abolitioni&t are answered by a Northerner who tavors Clay's compromise bill?we under, stood you to be in that category. But we were indeed amused at a portion of the first notice which you condescended to take of us, viz: that "in calling you an abolitionist we insulted your numerous subscribers." Bless us; well now we know what yankee assumption is. You?a little exotic yankee?an emigrant from the land of wooden nutmegs?a turnip specimen from the clime of picayune souls; to have the assumption to think that because we happened, at the little end of our let ter. to mention you, that we insulted the thousand gentlemen who read?no subscribe, for your paper. We Editors must be big folks. We admit, if your last notice is a high-toned controversy, that we cannot understand, as you feared, that part which talks of your " usually dignified style? ahem! We excuse you, of course, brother Argus, for "descending to our level " and will now allow you to rise up to your " usually dignified style," ere we lose our own self respect. P. S.?We do not consider it in our place to answer the turnip Reviewer. We would only say for his information that it is customary for Editors to defer their notices of new Works, until the author honors them with a copy. But we opine this was hardly the Turnip knight?but some redoubtable. worthy?whom mistaken pride?or green eyed envy?drove to aim a lance, crouched behind an editorial column. But, Meet up in tins Turnip Patch, we'll tell tliee a tale. fc.-#"*The letter of which the following is an extract, was written upon private business, by a respected friend of Montgomery, Ala., who, it will be seen, formerly claimed citizenship in our State, and who feels, in common with every good citizen, an interest in the welfare of his native State, and who desires to see that section to which he is by old and cherished ties endeared, in a prosperous and happy condition?believing with us that a Plank Koad will do all that the friends of the 6cheme have ever claimed for it ? Montgomery, Ala. Oct. 1, 1850. I arc; glad to see that of late, your people are times. I allude particularly to the movement in relation to the subject of your proposed Plank Road. A more happy scheme for the interest of your town and the section of country over which it is proposed to run the Road could scarcely have (wen desired. To have improved upon it, would only have been to commence earlier. Sue cess to the euterprize! and it must succeed, if the people keep a steady look to their interest. We have in course of progress, two Roads diverging Irom this point. One injthe direction of Mobile, known as tin* South Plank Road, and one ' in the direction of Wetumpka, which is to con- j nect with the central plank road, which anticipates some point 011 the Tennessee River. But to no section of country of the same extent will a Plank Road bo of more importance or benefit than the one proposed will benefit Camden and the country that naturally and commercially belongs to it. That one eo far removed from it as myself should feel a lively interest in it, need not be matter of wonder or surprise to anyone, when it is understood that I am a native of that particular section of country thro'which it will run. Moro wonder with me, that the people of Camden and j itn- wumu) rtuuve ii, suoma nave sintered so important a matter to remain unnoticed, as it were, so long. But they are awake now, and I trust i will keep so till they build that Road. As to the | loautiou of the Road, from my knowledge of the , country, it will not vary much, I presume, from the line already marked out by the Rocky Ri- 1 ver Road. But that is not a matter of the greatest moment?to build the Road is the thing. The i difference of a few miles in its location is not very material. * When the work on our Plank Roads has progressed farther, I may resume the subject, and give you some of the particulars, prospects, &c.

Much It has settled, we trust and believe, on a pormanent basis, the question of slavery, which, more than every other, has disturbed the peace and quiet of the country since the organization ol the government The attainment of this object, so long and so fervently wished for by all good and patriotic citizens, lias not been unattended by difficulties. Opposed to it were arrayed the passions of wild fanaticism and the intrigues of unscrupulous deinagoguism. These for months baffled the progress of the greal measure of pence and union, and finally defeated it in the shape in which it was originallj 1 1 rni J! a. .i I i. presumed. i IMS uisabirous eveui iservcu it awaken the mind of the nation to the imperative necessity of speedy and decisive action by Con. gress; the slumbering patriotism of the people was aroused ; an influence, liot to be resisted went up from every portion of the country tc the Federal Capitol; the defeated Compromise, in all its essential features, but in a series ol distinct measures, was triumphantly carried through both Houses and promptly received the Executive sanction. Wild fanaticism and unscrupulous demagoguism are signally rebuked; and patriots are rejeiccd at the glorious result in even* portion of our ocean-bound land. The admission of California, with the constitution presented by her, wjis an act of simple justice to her intelligent, enterprising, already large and rapidly multiplying population?in which there was no concession on the part eiI il x! _ VT A!_ AL .

The proposition for the settlement ot the western boundary line of Texas will, it is not doubted, be readily accepted by the intelligent and patriotic citizens of that growing State, and thus will be quieted a subject more threatening in its aspect than any other which has demanded the consideration of the country. The passage of the Fugitive Slave bill removes all difficulties in regard to the escaping of this species of property, and puts an end to the vindictive heartburnings which have so often, within the past few years, risen between the citizens, and even the authorities of the slaveholding and nonslavcholding States. In the provisions of this measure there was exhibited to the South on the part of the North, a spirit of concession which it was as little as the South could do to reciprocate in its ready assent to the passage of the bill t<> abolish the slave traflicin the District ubia?a measure which, apart from iL:. !. i ; 11 - - -i a una u iiiuii, wu iiiiiih. ingmy auvaniageous 10 South, inasmuch as it removes from the seat of the National Legislature a subject which has been and would continue to be the source of ceaseless discord and dissension." We think that Congress has done much, too much?and more than we are willing to bear, to" - !*C v? * -- *-V. t wards a deprivation of our constitutional rights, t It is well for the Editors of the Crescent, and for < such men who advocate these measures, that their locality is just where it is; otherwise they might receive much at this very abundant time. Much < of the contempt and indignation of every true I southron who knows his riphts and knowing dare ] maintain them. ] "It is a subject of deep regret that, in some sections of the country, there should be dissatisfaction at the result of the action of Congress on the great questions of harmony and union first above referred to. We allude particularly to the demonstrations now being made in the States of Georgia and South Carolina. But, though this may be regretted by all intelligent, sober and good citizens, it is, perhaps, not more than should be expected, in every country, m all time past, there have been found men ready to oppose the action of government, whether that action be wise and beneficent or not In a republican government like ours, especially, where the actions of men are not restricted by the exercise of arbitrary power, there will always be a few restless spirits who might be dangerous to the peace of society but for the paucity .of their numbers and the folly or extravagance of their designs. They may cause quite a splashing on the surface of public sentiment, but never can disturb its profound depths. These agitators may float, as do the bubbles, for an hour on the bosom of the ruffled sea, soon to disappear in obscurity, if not to sink into detestation* t Our excellent institutions are in no danger from such men. The people of this great nation have too long enjoyed the advantages of the Union, and too well understand the importance of preserving it, to be led away by the schemes of demagogues and factionists. Devotion to the Constitution, love of the Union, obedience to law, are sentiments deeply cherished by all good citizens. These sentiments, united with the indomitable energy which inherently belong to the Anglo-American race, cannr\i in cnito nf nil nhstjiplPS. external aild illter ' V*f lit upw J nal, fail to carry us as a nation and a people to that sublime position of greatness and power to which, under a superintending Providence, we are destined." Not content with extolling these iniquitous mea sures to the skies, the editors of this compromise 1" and submission Organ, have attempted to cast ' their contemptible slang at those men who are determined to resist their wrongs and assert their rights at every hazzard and to the last extremity. The following extract from the Lowndes county (Ala.) Chronicle shows plainly that Congress has done a little ton much: "The South could never have been excluded from the enjoyment of the California territory, but for the ratification by Congress of the trickery and fraud practised upon her in the so-called California Convention. The Constitution of California contains a clause of slavery prohibition in it, which effectually excludes the South therefrom. That Constitution was ratified and endorsed by the Congress of the Uni* ted States, it is therefore, by the act of Con ? press, that the South is excluded from a fair and just enjoyment of the territory acquired from Mexico, to which, in the language, of the Senate of Alabama, "the people will neversubmit" We hope the day is not yet come, when the people of the Southern country will be made to eat their own words. We pray that the spirit ! of the fathers of '7G is not yet extinct; but may it be rekindled in the hearts of the hardy sons of > the South, and rouse them to a sense of the du[ ty they owe to themselves, their homes and families, and urge them on to a vindication ot their iust and dearest rights." ' Also in contradistinction to that spirit of blind idolatry which worships the Union?athat Union which has plundered their fathers is plundering them, and will, if permitted, plunder their descen, dants" for all time to come. We copy the follow" ing from the Wilmington (N. C.) Aurora: ' But there prevails in this Republic at this time the most stupid and ridiculous of all wors ships?Word-worship. It is most clearly seen in the devout reverence paid to the simple word ! Union, and the fear and trembling created when , any danger menaces it It has been a perfect i political talisman, and is yet to a considerable , extent If it cannot conjure a ghost, it can, f when sounded, excite the hallelujahs of millions 1 of senseless devotees. As in the temple of the i Aztees, the priests of the idol demanded the blood of the worelupjier, lie devoutly submitted I himself to the knife, happy to be honored with t the sacrifice; so now in the Southern section of this Republic there are tens of thousands who shout for a Union which has plundered their ! fathers, is now plundering them, and, if permitted will plunder their descendants still tuore.? In the view of such blockheads, all men who are bold enough to disregard words, and look at things are heretics, traitors, and blasphemers. Ml??i??ii>nl . Will be true to the mark. We find the following in the Carolinian of Tuesday: "The Mississippiau, published at the scat of government of that gallant State, in urging action on the part of the South and enumerating the States that will promptly unite in defence of the rights of the South, pays the following compliment to our own State: "South Carolina?entitled to the very first honors which history can award?is silent, but prepared. The scoff at her is her crown!? Amidst the twelve hundred millions of the earth I the South Carolinians have no equals in their I knowledge of their rights, and in their spirit to i defend them. Yet South Carolina did not cause < the Mississippi movement. Not at all. But i she npp-'oYcd it. Misunderstood and traduced, i sh with In coming composure, awaits the ac- 1 tion of the South."

The address concludes with c the following sentence: "We feel that the time for s argument and remonstrance have passed: that e 0 ;% ^ iction is the word, and we are ready to stand by t >ur arras." j Georgia < Has taken the lead so tar as the Proclamation < jf Gov.

Florida. 1 From the followieg extract of a letter received j in the city of Charleston, we have reason to hope ( that the State of the sunny ever-glades will also , wheel into line: ] "St. Auousuink, (Fla.,) Sept. 29. "Florida is, I think, fully prepared to fall in to line with her sister Southern States, whntev- 1 er course they may pursue. Though there is a considerable party disposed to take what we can get and be thankful, the majority, 1 am satisfied, are not submissiouists, and are animated by a true Southern spirit." Virginia Will never suffer the intruder's foot to press her soil, when their object is to punish the "Traitoig." Texas Has a southern Governor. There is hope that the people of the Lone Star will not accept the bribe?if they do not, and the attempt is made to force her, the first gun fired will prove the funeral knell of an oppressive Union. North Carolina Withher sturdy sons will toe the mark, we trust, when the issue comes. South Carolina Is there! always ready. "Among her people there are few who feel not. the importance of the crisis. Her silence is thp silence of composure and determination, and although it is unnecessary to reiterate assurances of this sort, especially to our friends in Mississippi,yet we take occasion to say to them that South Carolina is already up to the point of action.

Nullifier is so harrassing to r heir feelings as to make them dosert their in. \ orost because South Carolina, by the voice of f lor people, has a word to say in the matter? 1 f they do, .we hope this plan of attack will en r irely fail. It is placing tho origin of the South- n irn Convention in the wrong place. Missis- v ippi, we think, first proposed this Convention; c ignt other slaveholding StateB responded to c his proposition. South Carolina was fullyrti >resented; we tiot only say fully but ably, by >ne of oar representatives being called the au;hor of the letter from the Convention to the . Southern people; he, by Senatorial authority, ins been called traitor. Well done, Mr. Clay. We have sometimes admired you, and other' Limes thought indifferently of you, but now we assure you we do not love you; and sir, when jrou become President of the United States we hope the Southern States will not be a part of the said United States. We are willing you should be President of the people for whom you tabor, (these are Freesoiiors, Abolitionists, Religious and Political Fanatics, negro stealers, &c. dec ,) and not us, whom you try to crush and degrade; and whilst you are uucoustftutioually despoiling us of our rights, you are hailing the Union, the glorious Union, and Judas like, betray the Union, by trampling under roofeuie Constitution which tonus this Union. Also we say well done Mr. Foote, you did well at first, and continued to do well until you wereseued with sudden terror at Mr. Benton's making a plain demonstration on you which caused..yw* to form those parallel lines of advancement.?-" We would be glad to hear of Mr. Cnlli?)UttV> sentiments being frightened back into him 6# the same way they were taken out, r If South Carolina is to be made erainentftM$tr citizens held forth as a band of traitors, by the* enemies of the South, because we are unanimous on all the political questions of |he daj< and our representatives in Congress are men who has proven themselves worthy of-their' trust?we will not shrink from any respoosihil-' ity which may fall on us.

Freemen were never made to wear chains of oppression; we have told thetn all this long ago; they have not listened to our warnings, the time of talking and writing :on this matter has nearly passed. We have no part nor lot on the paciiic ocean. Ten millions of dollars are to be taken out of our treaacuxto buy a State or two from Texas tor the Fryesoil party.

The reign of terror in France would not more than equal it These are pictures painful to think of but if the worst has to come let it come, at once, for it appears that nothing will appease the glutouy of tire North. Concession after concession, on our part has not satisfied them. First-they got the Missouri compromise line, 30 80; they have flooded the Congress Halls with abolition petitions, not only that, they have organised, themselves in societies for the purpose of stealing our negroes.* They have oar pacific coast, Oregon and Coir fornia. They have not slacked tueir effort* yet. They are mairiug efforts at this time, indirectly, but certain, to abolish slavery in th* District of Columbia. By abolishing the slave trade they compel the owner* of surplus slave* to keep such slaves on hand,thereby tendering them valueless to the owner. Eight or ten years will liberate every slave in the District* if not by Congress it wiU be done by the ownera themselves. Maryland with a large slave propcrty on one side and Virginia on the other* (we are supposing things to go on peaceable) with societies ot negro stealers in the District of Columbia, probably uicorporated by Congress, we will ask what can be the natural result of such proceedings! We all know, and! common sense should teach us, the Constitution of this Union is the basis on.w&ich the superstructure of our government is formed; if the foundation of any fabric is broken, the consequence is the downfall of the latter. ?,r fII . i ?
