.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

otir rwce.ssion friends of South Carolina.
" A powerful re-action is going on in
uotirgia I assure yu, and she is destined
ere hng, to ocicpy a pronuinent station
upoii the side of Southern Rights. I be
hevc McDn.ditid will carry the State in Oc

Wih-te are very seanguine. The other party
(C 'a c-) are apparently equally sure of
h cess ; bot they rely unt the large

cthean indication;s of the success of our

From the -N,0. Picayune;27thb* l
sreat Cuban lMeeting In New._
Orleans.
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. Qumitnman has sigmnitied his de
ermination not to speak wvith General
F'oote at any moure of their joint appoit
ue:nts.
A LAwYER's TOAST.-At a recent din
ier of a provincial Law Society, the Pro.
denti edad nm:..n the re ior sobector pres
mtt to give ats a tlast. thme person whomi he
iorisidered the bost friend of the profession.
'Then," responded the sly old fox, 'I'll
1ive you the man who makshis own ill.'

- Pursuant to ptilic notice, a
enthusiastic ri~lng of the
Southern RightsAssociation 'of ft
ind St. blichael was held at li ihb "
Hall, on Thursday evening, July 31
In the absence of the President, Dr. Johip
Bellmger, one of the Vice Presidents, $o4g
the Chair, and after some very apprpriaw
remarks, as to the objects of the asse51
lage, stated that the meeting was red
for business.
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. Edmondston,
the meeting adjourned, after giving three
hearty cheers for the Palnetto Vlag,
which was suspended over the platform.

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.
