We do not think that tih charge wilsul desertion or treachery up, Lopez; but we do think they chargo'up, hin a twant of plan and foresight, and a nounce, further, that reliance upon the sistance of the Cuban Creoles, is at best feeble hope. We conless we suspect the is some point and force in these inopli stteitnents. "llad there been any actual treaclei and wilful desertion on the part of Lopt the fiery Kerr, and the chivalric Crittendc would not have failed to have written that eliect in terms of nanly and indigna denunciation. It is nonsense to suppo that Lopez belaved treachcrously or in b; faith. A man has only to look at his po tion to see this.

A largo number of the citizens of York assembled near King's Creek on the 25th uilt., at which a Southern Rights Associa tion was formed, the following pledge being adopted : "'We the undersigned, do solemnly de. clare that we are ready and willing to re. sist the late Federal encroachments upon the rights and honor of the slaveholding States ; and that to a hearty co-operation in whatever mode of redress the Convention of South Carolinum, imty decide upon, we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and sacred honor." The Effects of Action. A much resorted to argument, on the part of the Co.oporationists, has been, that th: course of the secession party is such as to excite in the people of the other States feelings antagonistic to that spirit of resistaace which we wish to tee ani mate their breast ; that, in taking the lead in the novetent, we practically say to them, " we are truer froenen than you ; you are less sensitive than we to the ap proaches of despotism, less determined to repel aggressions and maintain your rights," that jealousy of our arrogance and determined adherence to their own opinions are developed by such a course, and they are rather driven fron, thin drawn nearer to, us. In almost every great movement, every thing afl'cting the progress of man, physi cally, morally or socially, ive have had a case in which cbjections, hinging upon this samne principle, might have been urged. If pressed successfully, action and progress moust have been stayed, because there nev er has been the time whent men have with equal clearness perceived how their condi. tion aight be improved, and with equal energy determined upon mastering the evil and possessing themselves of the gooid. A few have always been the teach ers and the leaders. There is one po:nt wh'ch we think the Co-operatinnists, as a party, have never settled; rather than a penaianent contin atie in the Union would the"y choose the separate nationality of South Carolina ! if they decide that their duty, as freernen, would be, ultitately, when hope of Co operation should fail, to protest ngainst wrong, to evince by acts a determinution never to submit, without, a struggle, to the n:1.4 I. p. u. it .. .r " ' , . .1tr tamn tiuejr libertes amt' rmapte: ncr.decc n a"! aggvrs unu sha.

CagA rys I'. P If OTT. Mr. W. C. Guzaxa, being called to. the Chair, mnade some feeling and appropriate re marks, after which, Mr. Josmru S. iosaaRD addressed the meeting as follows: Mr. President : We meet to discharge a mournful duty, and one which involves in it considerations well calculated' to arrest the at. tention of this meeting. It is to announco the death of our late friend and Rector. The Rev. CHnAR LnRS P. ELLIOrrTr is no more he has passed, suddenly passed, from time to eternity.-the fatal truth is realized. On the 24th of August, 1851, when but tafew miles from his residence, and on his way to dis charge one of his regular ministerial appoint. ments, he was overtaken by a whirlwind-and to-day, alas! to-day, the unrelenting grave has closed over his mortal remains. The personal and social intercouse so fondly cherished by us all, and sustained by the highest admiration for his virtues, has ceased for ever. No more shall we hear, from that sacred desk, the tidings of salvation pour from hi lips, which, if they- didl not always carry conviction to our hearts, al. ways conmmnanded our respect. The announcement of the death of a divine, so eminently zealous, calls forth the strongest manifestations of grief. Dignity, simplicity and purity, integrity, con Pistency and devotedness of purpose, were so beautifully blended in his character, as ever to remain enduring monuments to his memory; and whilst we cast upon the scene the veil of sorrow and regret, we are encouraged to hope, that, in this signal providence these eminent virtues have only been transferred to a higher iii purer sphere, where they may shine on, With undiminishied brilliancy, forever. Then lot us cherish his menmory, whilst we astimate his virtues; and whilst we are admon ished by this melancholy event, of the uncer ainty of life, let us draw from it the conclusion, hat we shall linger here but a short time, a-id to live, that our souls may mingle with his, Where the righteous only find rest.

The stages should leave Newberry us soon as the cars arrive, and may reach Greenville in twelve hours--ti.e anles an hour. Greenville is destined to be a great place yet.
