There are *iow three stdrdos at this pbiit and tlid tiigi. ber will probabiy be soort incrcaiCd; a physician-has located himself there; and several mechanics will soon wake up this quiet nook into activity and bustle. Wq, ire pleased at these evidences of iniprove ment and wish our yourig dister Lynclburg ill prosperity. .The Churubissoo Celebration. Who Chester Standard makes the follow ing su estion, which we thinks needs only to made to be deceded to: "We Wduld tahn [lit liberlf of sutgesting to the Directors of the Railroads in this Stato th'e propriety of tendering a free pas Mage to .thosi members of the Pahnieto Regiment who may desire to attend the meeting at Columbi-a on the 120th August. Such a privilege would donbtless induce a very general ittendance, aid lie no inrco iderable incentire to the carrying out o. their part of the ptaiseworthy purpose they have in view. In that purposea the whole State is interested. It is in no degree pri Tate in its character. We trust our breth ton of the prbss will ropeat the suggestioi. Co-Operation antd its resuIts. Co-operationists have hitherto differed w.idely in their views and wishes, and we have thought it proper, in discussing the subject, to distinguish between their vari bus positions. We Icave out of view al together those who style themselves such, but who are in fact willing to submit to Fe deral aggressiong, because they have as sumed a name that is not theirs. Some Co-operationists have desired post ponement of any definite action by our selves, until it should be ascertained wheth er the other Southern States would resist ; but their keen sense of the degraded post. tion which South. Carolina would occupy, if she were to continue in the Union, of the dangers to her rights and institutions, and, more than all, to her spirit of freedom, would urge them when all reasonable hope or Co-operation should fail, to peril all for th-h o rf their State. They would W9Is av having forgotten the dtrugg. of '76, and th'e pfinciples of our ree, existence ver since, if they could for a mornent balanco a fahs'e' iecurity, fur a en'v ydars, of tlreit rights 6f person and property, while they were at tihe sarmetime tyrannized' over politically; thrust out, though members of a republic, from all aontrol of that republic or even of their own peculiar interest, and tormcnted con tinually by sneers and objurgations, utgainst a manly assertion or 'nd strurggle for their rights and honor, t heir liberty aind independence. They only style themnselves Co-operationists because they believe that Co-operation can be effected. Threre are others who believe that past issues wvill not unite the South, bt that the Fanatics at the Noruh wvill speedily make aggressions which will hrave that ec fect, and, with tire satme ulterior news of resistance as tihe first class, they deem it wise to wait for these aggressions, that tihe accumulated wrongs thus inflicted may riot dnly Unite the South in repelling thenm, but throw closer bonds of union around it af t'erwards. Thue true spirit of liberty burns brightly in their breasts also, but tire of fects of their poliey, would we fearr, be hazardous to those rights they are deter. mined to protect. Now the events of a twelve mroitm, will, we think, unite thut class of the Co-opera. tionilsts, which we have first imentiouned, With the Secessoiits. Twelve monrthms will suflice to indicarte tire course of the othrer States. If that course be backward that class must, as a resistance party, jem tire Secessionuists, andI, ont tire other hantd, if the developmients int tire othrer States are favorable to Southrernr Rightes, they wi show, w~e thrink, that Co-op~erationr ittnimain taining those rights will depeiid onr tire sep arate arction of S'outhr Carolina. '.ri'e seconrd class referred to we would ask to ponder over thre declarations already nmade by the leaders of the anti-slavery party :that the comnpromriso measures, in theinselves fatal to thre perpetuity of slave ry, combined with the various iuitluenmcs mow and for miany years past at work amnongst us, will ini a few years, fifty at far thest, render our slaves unnprofitatblo, ini subordinate, uncen.trollable; wdil force masters either to run away from their slaves, or to drivo their slaves ofl first. WVill tihe abolitionists hazard their triumph, us secure though prostpoined, by mraking ag gressions wvhicir will unite tire South ? Weo cannot believe it. They iin efliect, say so themselves. Tlhero is a third class, who, on tIre ground that theo interests of the Southern States are identical, would link their desrti nlies together, would resist only when thne others should resist, would acqtuiosce in all thI others should submit to, Now we wotuld nbt impute to the other States a wanrt of love of liberty, of determination to main tai n their rigkig wvhen we express the fear tHat, if South Osrqlina should move parn passu wvith thenif she does not separate herself -fromn them in inistitngt,. ..h vill have liketi fi.iia.44 oi wtor de ny. , (le other. States, foin party itifluiences A mnd the evil counsels of leaders, have nin- la nitted themselves against resistance, some n leclaring that past events will not justify r, t, others that it is inexpeiietit under 11ex- 0 sting circutnstauces."

Whon will circumstances a e' tiferent from tioso notn exising ; thit v r; when will they be more favoralble for, ! nore inducing to, resistance?

But, suppose "existing cir- i :1um11stanct's" not to he chalnga'ad lby any ;,- p Lion of South Caroina, wiat is to ebanei! I tleni? W6 are at a loss to answer. No I aggression 't the North which u ail make 1 the issue ; for SEwAnti and SUANEaI and GREELY, &e., have declired the contiln ance of the Union to lie neces.ary to the de struction of slavery. and thV, hi.avinlg the.' whole Abotition party uder their :oia il., will not endanger tle Un-on by their acts, In fact all the pract.cal iksues have alreay I passed by. There is no iatore territory it be ex luded irom, there lare no more slave States to be admited or rejected, t hIere wil I be no need for noibahiig slavery ia the District of Colu bia, far it is rapidly dis appearing there, and the Fugiuve Shve La'w is a dead iciter. The oily p. mis of at tack left are lie " slave trad'' betweenI II States and "slavery" itself withn the Stateii. Anil have we actually vieided .ai these appuoacles to our sti ongliold ?

But, wlile if we were to seek there we will tind no five too punish, we will then find that we li:ve the foe in ',ur own fortresa.

It is but seldom, and 9nly # tiens when iatters of great and generai inportance vere to be considered, that we have seen o large or enthusiastic a meeting an that rhich assembled at Bank's Arcade last Vening in relation to the present struggle or Cuban independenefp. The meeting irganized at the cal of Mr. John Goodin, vh1o nominated the following officers: President-Capt. James Stockton. Vice Presidents.-J. L. Carman, Gard. ier Smith, S. W. Putter, Patrick Irwin, ames Smith, Dr. Wedderburn, J. L. 'evy, N. C. Hall, Joseph W. Burke, C. ). Yancey, T. P. White. Secretaries-T. W. Hall, L. L. Dillard, )urant Da Ponta, Alex. Walker. Capt. Stockton briefly addressed the neeting. He said that they had' assem. iled there to hear read the Declaration of [ndependence made at Puerto Principe on he Fourth of July, and signed by two hun ]red patriotm, who were battling for the 'reedom of their country. Jndgo Walker then read the declaration >f Cuban independence. which was listen 3d to throughout with profound attention, ind on being called for, the Judge deliver d a brief but eloquent address. Judge Walker, at the close of his ad. Iress, ofrbred the following resolutions: Resolred, That we greet with joy and nthusiam the recent intelligence from the Island of Cuba as indicative of the heroic resolution and devotion of that people-, and af their purpose to make every sacrifice to achieve their independence. Resolred, That the Cubans having giv en an earnest of their sincerity and con stancy in the struggle for liberty, it is our duty, as brother republicans and men, to aid by all means in our power their efibrts, until they shall he crowned with success. Restlred, That a commni f ten be appointed by the chairman o. meeting to draft an address to th of Lou. isiana and the Unit . behalf of the Cuban revolutir Resofredf, That mmnittee of ten be appointed by the Chair. to be called the Committee for the promotion of Caban Liberty, whose duty it shall be to collect contributions from our-ci'izens to aid the Cuban patriots, and to forward the same as speedily as possible. The President put the question on the adoption of these resolutions, and a unani. nious aye pen!edl from the assembled mul titude. le said there was no necessity in calling for the nays, for he knew there was no man among them who would say nay. The following named gentlemen were then appointed, in accordance with the fourth resolution, a committee on collec tions: M. M. Cohen, D. I. Ricardo, Joseph Genois, Malachi Kelly, J. J. -Fitzpatrick, J. L. Levy. J. L Carman, Garner Smith, Emile Ihriart, Chas It. Noble, Wn. Burns, E. V. Perry. Genil. F. Houston was next called for, and spoke for nearly an hour. lie con cluded by asking three cheers for Cuba! which were given long and loud. At the close of Gen. Houston's speech. Gen. Lopez appeared on the stanl and was received by cheers perfectly electrifying, wvhich were continued for several minutes, amid the waving of hats and handkerchiefs. lie spoke as follows in Spanish, which was translated to the nweting by Mr. Big ur: . though I would wisl to a you hlglt on the pflbiru of Cut --i her relatiens with the United States 1am, yet comupelled to restrain my earnest desire by the knowled-e thmt my words cannot flow directly frum nmy lips to yor glorious heart. it is now publicly known that the patriots of Cuba have struck the first blow in be. half of independence--that they have rais ed their own arms in their own cause--yet tno one that knows not their helpless corm dition, and the terrible tyranny under which they suff'er, can form an estimate of the hieroismn of the eflort which they have inade. For any part, I can say that, having mnyself e arly endeavored to sow the germn ot liberty in the hearts of the Cuban people, I can apprecia'e the magnitude of the responsibiliiy they have assutned, and of the obstacies ti.ey must overcome, in order to achieve succesis. I know that they hwve looked to you, the noble American people, t he pioneers in the caur-e of human freedon, for sympathy and aid in the cause they were about to undertake. TIhe'y knewt not your laws ; they were ignorant of treaties ; bust in then confidence of ihier hearts they drew the sword, be hevinig thati you, who hadl pointed the wvar, could not forsake ihom wvhen they had to1 lowed in your footsteps. Tr ey knew not that there was anv prohibmition to your ex endaing the assistanca wvhich your exam ,.le bud given themi a right to expect ; and they were conscious that there wvas a per vading principle in the human bosom w~hich prompiltsi universal aympathy for a sufl'ring; peonle, struiggliior with atn oppressor. Iht: in this enthuastic assemblago, I see be frie my eyesl the eividenice that the hopes of the Vubanis were nit unfounidedl, andt that you will riot sufy-r them long to languish heneath the ty ranny of Sjrtin. In conclusion, gentlemen. 1 thank you for tour kiud reception to myself, and for the en hausiastic fieting which you maifest towards her wee fequntcalls for Judge Larne, tlandell Hlunt, andu Capt. Clondennon. The atter gentteman finally came forward, and ad lre Ie th n meting after which a motion to idjourn was put and carried. RENcoU;NTRE DETWEEN4 GES'Ls. Foo-rE LND Qt;mrtAs.-We perceive from the ilemphlis ingle, of the 21st ult., that a aorsonal dbflicuilty occurredl between the dind:dates for Go'vernor in Mississppi, Gen 'raln Fomote and Quitman, on tho l8th mul utno, during their dliscussion at Sledge. 'mlle, in P'anola County. It appears from le Eagl'sm account that both gontlemnen aad agreed to refrain from all personalities mn their uisctussions. Geneoral Foote, how Iv'er. deemned it no inifrac taon of this agree nent to allnd:ime to(Gen. Qu itmnan's connee ion with the late Cuban expedlition, and mad dlone so at several appointmnents previ mue to the one at Sledgeville, wvithoumt pro. :okaig any interruption. At Sledgoville, iuwever, when Gen. Foote spoke of the .:ublan afiftir, Gen. Qumtman stopped him mid sauid thart it was "uangenitlenianly and lhanest" thusu to vio'ate their agreement. l'hereuapon G~en. Foote called himt "a liar." BIlows wecre iinsttantly int erchianged(; but heir mttual frieinds interposed and separa ed the combatants. According to the Baugle, Genu.

On motion by Mr. A. W. Burnett, LieMn Gov. Cain and Col. Palmer were invited. to seats on the platform, and their .appe,, ance was greeted with much applause. Hon. JNo. E. CAIsw, after a brief and pertinent address, which was received witly much enthusiasm, moved that a Committee be appointed to introduce the Hon. P. Barnwell Rhett to the meeting, which was carried, and on Atr. Rhett's entrance,. the entire audience rose and greeted him witi three cheers. Mr. Ihett then addressed the meeting. and for an hour and a half enchained its attention by an argument of surpassing ability, sketching with a master hand the evils and oppressions of our present sys tem of Government, and establishing irre. sistably and indisputablythat the only reme. - dy for these evils, was secession.' His re. niarks were frequently interrupted by the enthusiastic plaudits of the audience. Air. V. G. Desaussure being loudly called on, respoided in some very eloquent and effective remarks. Mr. 13. I. Carroll, at the call of the me9ting, vindicated himself against the charge of unwarrantable interference witb the proceedings of the co-operation meet ing. His remarks were listened to, not withstandinjr the lateness of the hour, witi great attention, and produced a moat favorable impression upon the audience. On motion by Mr. L A.

PoIULEAU, e -:0: State Military Academy. At a meeting of the Cadets of the Miii tary Academy held on the ^Oth July, ors motion of Cadet Gottrell, the meeting was o rgar ized by Cadet J. P. Thomas being cal led to the Chair, and Cadets Ml'Cammera and Martin being requested to act as Secse.. tarres. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Thema explained the object of the meeting, in the following eloquent -nd appropriate re marks: Gentlemen of the Corps of Cades : At low ic to express my appreciation of the high honor which you have conferrad, in, soliciting me to pre.side over your meeting, and, also, to tender you my heartielt thanks for such an evidence of votir favor and es-s teem. Under any circurstances it woutL be impostmble for ine to occupy this posi. tion without emotions of pride and gratifi cation; but in view of the object for which we are assembled those emntions bate' been rendered unusually intense.. As the represenatat ve, in part, of Car1i. na's martial spirit; as a portion oilier sona peculiarly and greatly indebted to her, it becomes us to give ex;-reision to the feel ings that we entertain towards her, and ari earneCt of fidelity in this her trying hour.-, As Cadets of her Military Academy, it might appear that we are already sufficient. ly pledged; but regarding the momnentousm crisis mn which she is now involved, it seems to me that a full and opongleclara---. tion of attachment should by heard fro~in all-from the young as wvell as the old." Itis for such a purpose that you have been called together, and I do not for a mnoment doubt that your voice wilhl be heard im tones It has not been long since a party has been formed against innnediate secesion a party whose tendency is nltimately to force our State fromt her noble position, and to drag her downm into co-operative sub-. nissiion. Against an end so deplorable, degrading and destructive, let us raise our humble t sincere v'oice. Let it be avow. ed that we deploringly hold up our hands against the delaceiment of our State es. cutcheon. Let it be known that the spirit of our lorefathiers-of the Cavalier and Iluguent--is not yet dead within us, but that it. still lives, and now, as formerly, strives to cexhibit itself in action against op. pression-mi actioni for freedom--in action for the honor and welfare of Carolina. Cadet J. P. Cottreil thetn rose, and offer ed thme following p~reamnble and resolutions, which he preiaced with a fewv remarks mn reference to the position of the State, which -were received with enthusiastic applause : Whereas, a period has arrived mn the his tory of our behovcd State, at which her sons are called upon to sustain her in the assre tion anid mnaintenance oi these rights which' were guaraintied to her at the formation of the Federal Coimpaict. Amid, whereas, iri all probability, South-Carohnta will, at first, be alone in takmg. cLfecive measures to be-. conmc disenthralled fromi the oppressive conniections in which inhe is now held with States boarde in ieeling and interest, we, the Sttudenta of the State Military Acade. mny, deemu it not iniappropiriate 'that we should declare our senetiiinets in reterenco to the crnsis which we behieve is at hand. Therefore, 1. Resolted, That whilst we disclaim alU1 intention of presuming to counsel the peo. pile of the State, as to the measures pro per to be adopted in redressing the wrongs which have been inflictedl upon us, Wd earnestly hope that those who arc to decidd the quesioii, will niot recede from the posi-' tion of separate State secession. 2. Resaoe, That uwing a~iegiance to the Getneral Government only through-the' State of South Carolina, we are absolvedt from that allegiance, the moment she de termmies to leave the Confederacy. 3. Reord Th'lat we are prepared to' offer up all we have and are, upon the aita' of liberty, whenever the hour for action' comnes, and that we will look with feelings of thi' deepest mnort fication upon any act of our State that may be influenced by a dread of conisequiences. The preamble and Resolutions were eloquently and warmly advocated by Cadets Veitch, Ib. J. Walker, andl Colding. O)n miotin, the vote was Liken on each' resolution separately anid passedl with only three disentinug voices against thn first red soltitioni, and one aigainist the thirdl. A miotion was then maide ani unanimous. ly carried that the pirowcedogs of the meet. iiig be pubbished in the city papers, and that the other papers of thin Staute, seith the exception of the G(heemeille Patriot, be re-r queCstedl to copy.
