New Post bittce. .,ftotter from a frietid informs us of the hstablishmint cf a new Post office iii this Distrid4 EIMsra SPENctn, Esq., Postmnas. aten, to be called Lynchburg, at a pdint some two and a half miles below Willow Grove Ii. O, and about three-fourtlis of d niile frbin .he'-V. arrdl M. Rail Road. Its vicinity to this Road and its location in the midst of a wealthy and populous coruntry may Very koon.expand itaint i tillage. There are Iiow three stdrdd at tills pbiht and tlid ithin1 ber will probobly be soort increased; a physician-has located hitimself there; and beveral mechanics will soon wake up this quiet nook into activity and bustle. We, ire pleased at these evidences of inprove. ment and w ish our yourg dister Lynchburg fll prosperity. .The Churubisco Celebration. Who Chester Standard makes the follnw ing su estion, which we thinks needs only to made to be acceded to: "We waould take tho liberty of suggesting to the Directors of the Railroads in this State th'e propriety of tendering a free pas. sage to .thoa members of the Pahiteuto Regiment who may desire to attend the meeting at Columbia on the 20th August. Such a privilege iwould donbtless induce a very general attendance, and be no inier,n iderable incentive to the carrying out o;1 their part of the ptaiseworthv purpose they have in view. In that. purpose the thole tate is intereited. It is in no degree pri vate in its character. We trust onr breth ton of the prtss will repeat the suggestio. Co-Operation and its. rsnilts. Co-operationists have hitherto dif'ered widely in their views and wishes, andl we have thought it proper, in discnssing the subject, to distinguish between their vari 6us positions. We leave out of view al together those who style themselves such, but who are in fact willing to sunnit to Fe detai aggressions', becatihe 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 of Co-operation should fail, to peril all for th h rof their State. They would I e having fmgotten the druggleof '70, and th'e ptinciples of our freexistelee ever since, if they could for a i moment balance a falie'ee-curity, fur a fiew ydarsj of theit rights 6f personm and property, wvbile they were at the samet ime fyrannizedl over politically, thrust out, though members of a republic, from all control of that republice or even of their * own peculiar initerest, atnd tornmentcd con tinually by snecers and objurgations, igninst a manly assertion of, anda struggle for their rights and honor, their liberty and independence. They only style thtemnselves Co-operationists because they believe that Co-operation can be efi'ected. There are others who believe that past issues will not unite the South, bitt that the Fanatics at the North will speeddly make aggressions which will have that ei fect, and, with the same tulterior news of resistance as the first class, they deem it wise to wait for these aggressions, that the accutnulated wrongs thus inflicted mar tnot duly unite the South ini repeliing themi, b~ut throw closer 'bonads of uniotn around it af t'erwards. 'rThe true spirit of liberty tburnis brightly in their breasts also, but the of. fects of their polkey, would we fear, be hazardone to those rightsi they are deter. mined to protect. Now the events of a twelve month, will, we thitnk, unite that class of the Co-opera. tiordats, which we ha.ve first itinzed, With the Secessiotni-ss- Twelve tuonths will stilice to itidicate the course of the other States. If that course be backward that class must, as a resistantce party, jomt the Secessionists, atid, Ont the othier handg~, if' the developmtents in the other States aru favorable to Southern Rights, they wi show, we think, that Co-o;.erato in mtain. ttaiig those rights will depend~ on the sep avate action of South Carolina. 'T.he second class referred to we would a-sk to ponder over the doclarations already niadlo by the leaders of the anti-slavery party : that the coanpromniso measures, in themselves fatal to the perpietuity of slave ry, combined with the various inftluences ntow and for mauny years past at work amongst us, will in a fewv years, fifty at far. thest, render our slaves unprofitatlo, in subordinate, uncot.trollable; will force mastegs either to run away from their slaves, or to dlrivye their slaves oil' first. Will then abolitiontists huazard their triumph, thuts secure though postponed, by making ag gressions which will unite the South ? \Vo cannot believe it. They ini ell'ect, say so thtemselves. There is a third class, who, on the ground that tho interests of the Sotuthern Sttsare identical, wvoteld link their desti niles together, would resist only when the others should resist, would aequiesce in all t19 others should submit to. Now we wvould nbt impute to the other States a wvant of love of liberty, of determination to main ttin their righ),s, when we express the fear (tlat, if South Oarqhina should move part passu with themi she does not separate hierslf-from them -in inisthatl.ac,:- sh will hunt- biokeI II':,o .ia I t Wt.

To otlier .Staes, Non party inlueiinces and the evil counsels of leaders, have com mitted themselves ;igainmt resistatce, stnue tieclaring that past events will not jtuitify It, othert that it is iiexptabent under "ex isting circumstances." We may exce'pt Alabaino, but it is evident that she woulbt not.act without Georgin, who is committed against action. Whoi will circuinstances bE Ififerent from thoso now cristing ; that ic; when will they be more favorable for, more inducing to, resistance? We have several tines expressed the opinion that Houth Carolina's seceding would chanige "existing circimistance," and uifetter the Southern Rights party in Georgia and Mis. sissippi; that it wits in that change in "existing circumstanecs" mot desired by that party and most cateubited toofur' t*r its objects. But, Suppose "existing cir cumnstances" not to be chantgil boy ary ;c tion of South Carolina, wIMt is to leanve themi? We are at a loss to answer. No aggression di the North which u%.it make the issue ; for 8F.wAin and SUm.n anod GRRELY, &c., have declared tite coittioi. ance of the Uniot to he ices.ary to the dle struction of lavery. anti thiy, havi.ig ite whole ALotition pariy under their coi.m o., wll not eidanger tle Untonm hj their acts. In fact all thie prat t.cal issues have alreamy passed by. There is t) nore territory to be ex luded I rom, there are no more slave States to Ie admitted or rejec'ted, I lire will be no need for abobliamg slavery it tile District of Colutmbia, for it is rapidly dis appearing there, and tihe Fuoitiye Shve Law is a dead ietter. The otly p, mis of at tack left are the "slave trade' betweeni he States and "%lavery" it:,elf vithim the States. A nl have we actually yie-ldel alI these approaches to our st onghtiod ? Even so, and yet there has 6. en no ssi to unite the South. All the practical s'.ms are gone, and hereafter, it we wiouild keelp up a show of resistance towards th Ni-, we shonid be as one heatii'g ith- air. N, substantial foe is there. But, while if we were to seek there we wll tiul no fm too punish, we will len fini tlhat we h-irve the foe in our own forl rt..;.

Jndge Walker then read the declaration of Cuban independence. which was listen ed to throughout with profound "attention. and on being called for, the Ju deliver ed a brief but eloquent address. Judge Walker, at the close of his ad dress, offered the following resolntions: Resolred, That we greet with joy and enthusiam the recent intelligence from the Island of Cuba as indicative of the heroic resolution and devotion of that people, and of their purporn to make every sacrifice to achieve their idependence. Resolred, That the lubans 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 efforts, until they shall he crowned with success. Restred, That a commij, r ten be appointed by the chairman o, eeting to draft an address to thie of Lou isiana and the Unith behalf of the Cuban revolutir RemsoreJ, That nnmittee of ten be appointed by the Chair. to be called the Committee for the promotion of Cahan Liberty, whose duty it shatl 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 mous aye pea'ed from the assembled mul titude. He said there was no necessity in calling for the navp, for he knew there was no mai among them who would say nay. The following named gentlemen were then appointed, in accordance with the fourth resolution, a committee on collee tions: M. M. Cohen, D. I. Ricardo, Joseph Genois, Malachi Kelly, J. J.

Lopez appeared on the stand and was received by cheers perfectly electrifying, which were continued for several minutes, amrid the waving of hats and handkerchiefs. lie spoke as follows in Spanish, which was translated to the mbectiug by Mr. Big-z tur: lthough I would wis' to ardress you ught on the affhirs of Cutlkn'e iher Irelatimns with the United States 1 amt yet compelled to restrain my earnest desire by the know led,.e that my words cannot flow directly from my lips to your glorious hearts. it is now publicly knowun 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-vet nto nne that knows not their helpless con dition, and the terrible tyranny under wvhich they styer, can form an estimate of thie hero ismi of the effort wvhich they have madle. For my part, I can say that, having myself e urly endeavored to sow the germ of liberty in thie hearts of the Cuban people, I can apprecia'e the magnitude of the responsibitiy ithey have assumed, and of the obstacles they :nust overcome, in order to achieve succ:ess. I know that they hwve looked to you, the noble American people, the pio neors in the caur-e of huan freedotn, for isympathy and aid in the cause they were about to undertake. The~y knew not your laws ; they were ignloratnt of treaties ;but in the confidence or their hiearts they drew the sword, be lievinig thai you, whlo hadl pointed the wvay, could not forsake thomn when they- had fo I lowed ini your footsteps. T ey knew not that there wvas any prohihition to your ex tenditng the assirtance wvhicht your exam ple had given them a right to expect ; and ihey wtere~ conscious that there wvas a per vadling. principle in the human hosom wvhich prompts uniiversal sympathy for a sufyering; peonte, strugrl ing~ with ant oppressor. But in this enthusia,tic assemblage, I see be fo're my eyes the evidecnce that the hopes of the Cub~ans w're not, unifoiinded. and that you wilt not suff-r tihem long to ianiguiih beneath the ty. ranny of Sirain. lin conciunion, gentlemon, I thank ., 'u 4rr your kuind reception to myuelf, and for the en thiussantic fehing which you m.nifeut towards m ppeedcountry.

FOOTE ANDi QuiaotA.--We perceive from the Alemphis Eagle, of the 21st ult., that a persontal dtifficulty occurred betweeni the ctnidiatets for Gtovernor in afississppi, Gen. er-al; Foote and Q4uitman, on the 18th tut timoi, during their discussion at Sledge vale, in P'anola County. It appears from the Eagle's account that bnth gentlemen had agreed to refrain from all personalitie5 in their discussionis. Genmeral Foote, how ever. deemned it no inifraction of this agree. mient to allude to Gen. Quitmnan's connec tion with clhe late Cuban expedition, and had done so at several appointments previ otis to thme one)L at Sledgeville, withotut pro. voking any interruiption. At Shedgeville, howeve-, when Gen. Foote spoke of the Cuba aftir, Getn. Qttman stopped him amid sauid that it was "ungentlemanly and deisuonest" tus to vio'ate their agreemnent. Thereupon Geni. Foote called him "a liar." Blows were instantly initerchanged; bit their muittnal friendus mnterpiosedl an d separa ted the coinbatantts. According to the Eagle, Gent. Quimtnman baa sigiied-r hiis do termtination not to spreak with General Foote at anty more of their joint, appoitnt. me~ntd.

I, Barnwell Rhett to the meeting, which was carried, and on Mr. Rhett's entgance, the-7. entire audience rose and greeted him witle thrme cheers. Air. Rhett 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. ~lia re. marks were frequently interrupted by the enthusiastic plaudits of the audience. Air. W. G. Desaussure being loudly called on, respoided in some very eloquent and effective remarks. ir. B. IL. Carroll, at the call of the meeting, vindicated himself against the charge of unwarrantable interference with the proceedings of the co-operation meet ing. His remarks were listened to, not withstandinL' the lateness of the hour, with great attention, and produced a most favorable imnpression upon the audience. On motion by Mr. L A.

PRIOLEAU, SeCretaries. -:0: State Military Academr. At a meeting of the Cadets of the Mill.. tary Academy held on the 30th July,on motion of Cadet Cottrell, tie meeting was orgar ized by Cadet J. P1. Thoman being called to the Chair, and Cadets M'Cammen and Martin being reqested to act as Seee.. taries. Upon taking the chair,. Mr. Thomas,. explained the object of the meeting, in the following eloquent -ind appropriate re marks: Getlemen of the Corps of Cacits : Al low me to express my appreciation of the high honor which you have conferre, in. soliciting me to preside over your meetin,. and, also, to tender you mi heartfelt thanks for such an evidence of your favor and es teem. Under any circumstances it woult be inpossible fur ine to occupy this posi tion without emotions of pride and gratifi cation; but in view of the object for which we are nasembled those emotions have been rendered unusually intense. As the representat ve, in part, of Caroli. na's martini spirit; as a portion of her son; peculiarly and greatly indebted to her, it becomes us to give ex;ression to the feel-. ings that we entertain towards her, and an earnest 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 momentous crisis in which she is now involved it seemse to me that a full and opougleclara.i lion of attachiment should bet hear4 f rom all--from the young as wvell as the olde it isi for such a purpose that you have been6 called together, and I(do not for a moment doubt that your voice wilt be heard in tones manly and patriotic. It has not binen long since a party ha. been frmied against nimnediate seceseton a party wvhose tendency is ultimately to force our State from hecr noble position, atid to drag her down into co-operative sub. mission. Against an end so deplorable, degrading and destructive, let us raise our humble bunt sincere voice. Le~t it be avow ed that we deploringly hold up our hands against tihe defacemnent oh our State es cutcheon. Let it be known that the spirit of our forefahers-of the Cavalier and Huguenot--is not yet dead within us, btt that it still lhves, and nowv, as formerly, strives to e~'Jhibit itself in action against op. pression-im acion for freedom--in action for the honor and welfare of Carolina. Cadet J. P. Cottrell then rose, and offer. ed the following preamnble and resolution, which lhe prelacedl with a few remarks in reference to the posinion of the State, which were received with enthusiastic applause: Whereas, a poniod hits arrived am the his tory ot our beloved State, at which her sons are called upon to sustamn her in the asser tion iand miaintenance 01 these rights which were guaraentied to her at the formation of thme Federal Comipact. And, whereas, in all probability, South-Carohina wall, at first be alone in taking cifective measures to be comio dienthratied fromt the oppressive coninections in which ashe is nowv held with States boatile in feelinag and interest, we, the Studlents of the State Military Acade may, deemi it not inappropriate that we should declare our sentunents in reference to the crisis which we befievo is at hxand. Therefore, 1. Resoii ed, That whilst we disclaim alf intention of piresumning to counisel the peo. ple of thme State, as to the measures pro per to be adopted in redressing the wrongs which have been inflicted upon us, Vd earnestly hope that those who are to decide' the question, willI not recede from the posir tion of separate State seceasn. 2. Resolred, That owving allegiance td' the Geinerat Governimenit onuly through the' State of South Carolina, we areaboed from that allegiance, (lie moment she do termmnes to learnm the Confedecracy. 3. Resolved, That we are prepared to' ofler up all wve have and are, upon the alta' of liberty, whenever thie hour for actiotr comiies, and that we will look ith feelings' of the deepest imort tication upon any act of oiur State that may be inlluenced by a dread of conisequiences. The preamblo andi Resolutions were eloquently and warmly advocated by Cadets Veitch, E. J. Walker, and Coldmng. On imoton, the voto was tiken on each' resolution separately and passed with only' three dissenting voices against the first red tolutionm, and ono againist (lie third. A nmotion wtas then imde andh unanimuoua. ly carried (fhat tihe proceedlmgs ofl(lie meet.. ing be pubbnhshed~ in thie city papers, and that the othier papers of thme State, :cih the exeptionr of the Grheenc illu P'atriot, be res qluested to copy.
