Mr.. Borcr. is a canldidte for re-electioni withlout opposition, and we hope at tihe ballot box may receive a large complimentary vote. Adamns Express. We refer our readers to the advertise. mont of Messrs. ADAMs 4- Co. This is the lar.-est express transportation company in the United States and perhaps in the world. Thmey convey, throughl thmeir Agents, good-i and packages to and from all parts of the Union, at very mloderate charges and frequently in advance of the mail. We consider the establishment of an agency in this place as most fortunate. The Parade. The '20th1 and 414th, Regiments of Infan *-try and SthIRegimnent of Cavalry were reviewed and paraded here on Wednesday and Thmursday lust. There were in atten dance a number of prominent militia officers anmd other d istinguished gentlenien of the State. Among the military was the Goy ernor and his large and elegant Stafl; Gen. N.Lson, amnd Staff, Gen. CIjANDLERt and Stall', and Adjutant-General DUNOVAYT. On thme ground we also noticed Gen. 4ms, of FairflieH in.Citizens, dress; at'the close of the parade Gen. AIKEU heitig loudly called for made a stirring and able address; speechies were also muade by most of time officers all of which were characterised by good sense atnd discretion. We had the pleasure of greeting among the specta. tors, Mr. WYATT AnKEN, late associated editor of time Fairfield Iherald. 'The number of pleasimng incidents that occurred during the day of parade, which it would ive us pleasure to notice were fother matter be silent. y intends r soon at lie is to be a our be., The Late Gale. The gale of Thursday, which piase< lightly over this section, and without committing any damage, was very sever< at Charleston and ISavannah ; though wc are happy to state that thus far no instance t% here life was lost has been heard of. Or Sullivans island several prominent housei were washed away, the Moultrie IIous sustained little damage; the Islanders tool refuge in the fort. No estimate of thI amount of damage sustained in Charleston has yet been made, but the loss of property must be very great, some of the finest buildings were injured ; among which we learn that the Charleston Hotel suflerec greatly, the whole of the upper story ant the salon in the centre having been un. roofed. Several large houses on East Day also suffered by the loss or injury of roofs and the consequent exposure to the vio. lent rains which accompanied the storm Messrs Cohen & Cohn, R. A. Pringle McKensie, Cadow & Co., Chafee, St Amaind, Croft, all suffered, but not, we believe to any serious amount ; while Metsrs Johnson Crews & Brawley sus tained heavy damages. The loss upon the wharfs and shipping is put down at from 8300,000 to 8400,000. The city in its corporate capacity has suffered a heavy loss in the dami.ge to the llaitery. The wood work, with a large port.is of the steau in the facing of both sides 1: jst and South, has been destroyed. The water formed breaches at the swells of the flood, even over the highest points, and the spray was dashed in considerable quantities on the roofs of the houses oppo site, on the West side. The bridge cause way leading to the bathing house off the point has been carried away and the house itself considerably damaged. The wharves along South Bay have all been seriously injured-Moreland's wharf having been cut away nearly to low water mark. Nothing certain has been yet heard from Savannah, though the storm is known to have raged with great fury at that place. News of the Week. Several serious riots have occurred in New York recently, the consequences of street preaching. Great excitement prevailed at Chicago on the 2d inst., the result of Mr. Douglas' visit to that place. The bells of the City were tolled and the American colors dis played at half-mast. Mr. Douglas at tempted to address an assemblage but was hissed down from the stand. A dreadful steamboat explosion occur. red at Louisville on the 2d inst., by which twenty persons were killed and fifteen wounded. Gen. Scott, it is said, will lie brought forward again as a candidate for the Pres idency, with Bell, of Tennessee, for the Vice Presidency. Reports having been circulated of the displacement of incumnbeints of Federal offices on account of their Know. Nothing opinions, and that a disproportionate ntumn her of foreigners held appointments of this character, an estimate has been made by the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun of the comparative number of natives and foreigners holding such appointments. The natives in ollice throughout the Union and in the several dlepartments of State, Interior, Post Office and Treasury, ex cluding thme Custom Ihouses, and includ ing Ministers and Consuls, amount to I ,589. Tihe foreigners to 215. Unknown 304. Minister Buchanan, dressed in citizens clothes, was present at the recent proroga tion of thc British Parliamen'. It will be rememnbere.d that at the opening of Parlia mecnt somec, iuonthis ago, an order wvas issued to the effect that none should attend excep~t those hiabited in court cos tunie, consequently Mr. lBuchanan re. mainied away-thereby giving rise to a great deal of comment on the subijec t.

This declination is supposed to be to pave the way to a reconciliation between the factions, by the Ilards nominating Judge i Brunson, the nominee of the Ilards. On the 12th ult. the day that the Brit. ish Parliament was prorogued, the House of Commons received from the foreign office a copy of a report from Mr. Craw. ford, the British Consul at lavana, stating that the trade in slaves to Cuba has been more active in 185.1 than for eleven years before(184.1 expected.) This report con. tained a list of eleven or twelve ships that landed between 9,000 and 10,000 slaves from the coast of Africa. 'T'hese facts show how in effectual all the exer. tions of the British government to suppress the slave trade have been. For more than thirty years England has endeavored to suppress the traffic. The Carolina Times, published in Co lumbia, has been temporarily suspended. The Rev. Daniel Baker is now preach. ing at Spartanburg. iThe rascals, who lately esraped from the Columbia j.aii, have been arrested for bretking open a store in Yorkville.

The Marion Star learns that the sum of 20,300 dollars has been subscribed for the purpose of founding in that place a female college. The cost of importing stock from Great Britain to this country by steamer, inclu. ding commission, insurance, keep on board and frieght, is said to be for a horse, 8305, for a cow $250. By a sailing vessel, it would be from $50 to 875 less. At these rates the Ohio Importing Commpany cleared 15 per cent. on their sales. George Law's old muskets, which were recently returned to New York by the clipper bark Grapeshot, are said to have been re-shipped on board the bark catha rine Augusta, together with a considerable quantity of powder and a supply of coal. The screw steamship Franklin is said to have been purchased by the same party concerned in the bark mentioned, and is making alterations to fit her ror a vessel of war.

Truly Yours. M~tmCE. Editorial Correspondeacc. ScI.PHtUt Searxus, N. C. September 1, 1814. ).tRo L0AN ,We might have writ. ten the readers of the /anner before this an account of the" wonders we have seen" since we left old Sumter, but the care and attention of a sick family (for whose health, we left home, and its couforts, and not we assure you, for pleasure, as your "Frolic" editorial might be construed) as well as the hurry and weary of travelling by public. conveyai:cc from place to place atid stopping but a short time at a'l qf them, have prevented us untiV n'w from discharging this other wise agreeamble duty. On r~ journey here, was a rapid, and rounid about one. Wec left .Ianttey's comilfortatble quarters on the morning of thte 18th ult., and wer~e sotn snugly aboard of' the ears, where we fotund a good uany, like ourselves, boutnd for' Chick's Springs, Ceasar's head, Denv ers&c e were soon on our way, and the road, a winding circuitous one, leading, as it does, through a rought and brokenti country and frequently in sight ofuind somuetimtes upon the hank ofatnd across rivers, and by the villages of' New~ berry, A lston, and Greenwood, we lhad altogether quite a pleasant and interesting ride of it. At Newberry the cars .stoppe~d for a short timec, and took 'aboard, among (others, the great and worthy leader of' the temperance cause in 8. C. and that excel lent man -Jurdge (O'neahl. i Ie seemed to be on his way (and we think we heard so) L.u attend an extra Court in one of the Northern Circuits and looked in line health and spirits. Wewere soon "all abhoaird" again, anid travelling rapidlly were whirled thmro Newberry, Lauretns, and Abberville Districtsi, anid to Greenville village itn Greenville Distriet. No nc. -identt be fell the cars, nor any thting else occur red to add more interest to our jour. ney, if' we except the comling aeross and passing by two large crowds oi people in Abbherville District. The lirst some two th~ousand~ or twenty-five htundred were assembled at nlinety-. six, to a free barbacue, (which they appeared to be having done up on at extensive seatle after the good old1 4th ofJuly fashion,) given in honor of the( i on. Mr. Brooks, theiriliepresentative in Congress, wvho was to have made them a speech ; and the other, even a larger crowd than the first, at a station on the R. R. called Donald's, to at tend the trial of' some negroes whc had murdered their overseer. Thc trial was over when we arrived, ani we heard that the negroes, ('2 of them, wvere condemned to be hnig in shorteor der. The principal perpetrator howevec had fled, and they had not up to thal time, beeni able to capiture him. W< landed safemly at Greenville, thte termi nus of' the lioad, at half past 4 o'cloclh P. M. and were soon conveyed in at Iomniiibus to the Mansion house kept bj' Ervin, whore after a good deal of diuli culty' we were crowded into a little gar ret room with the promise of doing bel ter for us oni the morrow ; a promise which Mr. Ervin faithfully eptman gave us very comfortable and pleasant quarters. We found Greenville crowd ed to overflowing and were informei that the hotels in the place had not been able to supply the demand for lodgings, and that private houses had frequently to take in boarders. From all that we could see and learn, the good people of Greenville seemed to have been taken by surprise, and to be entirely unprepared for the amount of travellers, tha t her Rail Road, and the cholera at the North, have thrown upon her. There were no enterprising Mitchell's or China's there to be ready foralmost any emer gency, that might place a swarm of hungry men and women at their doors. Mr. Ervin informed us, however that he was preparing to put up a splendid hotel and would be ready for the next season ; and we learnt too that Mr. Mclee, one of the wealthiest men in the District, would also erect another to vie with him in pleasing the guest of "mhine inn." A mong the crowds in Greenville, we saw the Governor and several of his staff. The Hon. Mr. Orr, Gen. Adams and many others whom we might mention. We remained here several days. and found it quite a pretty and interesting village; visited the new College, the falls and the mills below the village which are worth a visit from any one who finds himself in the neighborhood, and en. joyed ourselves in sight-searching, and feasting uyon the good things provided by friend Ervin. Upon the whole however we were rather disappointed in Greenville. We had heard it praised as a most beautiful village and were prepared for something out of the common order of things. We found it certainly quite a pretty place, and with the best and most heautiful situation we have ever seen, but then the houses generally were not pretty, and there was an appearance of want. of ease, comfort, and neatness about them we did not like. In short there seemed to be a want of enterprise and liberality in the peotle, which we hope time and intercourse with the would will soon do away with. When ever the people of Greenville become wide awake to their own interest and to the many advantages, which nature has placed in their reach it must be. come a place of considerable impor tance. After seeing all that is worth seeing in and around GieOinville, we left. for Chick's Springs, situated some ten miles in thie counitry, where after a pleasant ride though quite a pretty country we arrived, and found some 60 or 70 persons; some in search of health, and others of pleasure. We were stored away in a r(omi which we regai ded as any thinig else than healthy, but as we were there and could not get backbefre te nxt dy, e determ-, ined tomake the best of things, amnd set out for a stroll to the Springs, and through the surroundinig country. WVe found the water possessing a decided taste of Magmiesia and I ron and wve heard that miiny had been benefited lby the use of it. The situa tion is a good one and the place might be umade a very desirable summer resort, but, at piresent it is ni't. Th'le owners of the property are wealthy men, aiid are not disposed to invest capital ini such an enterprise; ini fact, the~y are spueaking of selling it. The company there, however, seemed to be enjoyinlg themselves, and amiong them were our friends T. M. L. and J. W. D.. There were two reasons for our leaving, wichje we did after rmiiga couple of days, and re turned to G.reenvil le. T1he accomnmo dations wcre poor, and we were relia bly informed, that fur purposes of health, a week's tise of the waters at Deaver's alias Sulphnr Springs, was worth a mon01th at Click's. At Greenville we procured a hack and set out after din ner for Deaver\ by way of Paris mountain, aind Caesar's ilead; quite a round about and zig za1g route. TIhe first night we spent upon the top of Paris mount ain, 9) miles from an< 11 hundred feet above Greenville vill age. There wve had it as cool as couk be wished, a fire would not have beei unpleasant in the muorning. The hous< Is a neat,, well kept one. Theli viev 1from the top cf this mountain surpass Cs any thing that we had then eve. seen, and we engaged ourselves unti a late hour of' the night, and again ir . the mnorning until we lf, in walkin; raround the top of the mountain, (r i at space of about an acre and a half, i ud viewing~ the valley beow v as . ail very beautiful. There, far belowv you s~ee numerous farms marked ofl Sas it upon a map, with their neat wvhit<n cott.ages among the trees, and theii .gr-en fields spread out around them, - Occasionally you discern seine streamr -winding its grand way through th< , alley-a far off down to the south o I us vou see Greenville, and still firthic to the north and west, the whole range of the Saluda mountains spread their massive brows to your view and beyond them still, rising higher yet you catch glimpses of the Blue Ridge in the far distance. It was indeed all beautiful and grand. The view from this place, a' night, was quite different, but fully as interesting. You see lights from the various farm yards below and behold the valley filled, as it were, with stars ; while oc casionally there comes up the bark of a dog or the lowring of a cow to tell us it is peopled with living beings. But I am giving but a poor account of it. You must see it to know all or enjoy it. At 8 o'clock we left for Ceasar's Head, 28 miles distant and up hill most of the way. The ascent I of the mountain at certain places was very steep and difficult, but we arrived 1 safely at the top a little before sunset, and were very comfortably quartered in a neat little cabin by old Mr. IIa. good, the proprietor, who proved to be a good old, rough, kind-hearted and independent countrynanm, who did and said what he pleased, and allowed others the same privilege. We found out that he was a rich farmer with t large possessions away down in the valley, and here too, upon the top of the mountain, he seemed to be surrounded with all the comforts 1 of a home,-he had his hogs and cows f grazing over the sides of the mountain I -had his houses and a plenty of at. tentive servants, and his well.filled turnip patch, garden and corn field up on the top of a comparative flat space of several acres. We remained with him t a little over a day, found the company staying with him qnite agreeable, and spent the morning and evening in ex ploring the mountain. We were shown several very fine views, but none equalled that from the rock known as Cetsar's Head, (so named we heard by the Ilon. Wm. C. Preston from its resemblance to a head.) This rock is l situated in the South-western part of the top of the mountain and is the high est point upon it. The flat space gradually ascends to this point and when you arrive there you are standing upon a perpendicular rock 28 hundred feet above the valley below and corn. manding a view of the whole valley t , surrounding country and moun. I t:rins as far as the eve can reach. It is not certain that it is a solid rock from t the "head" to the bottom of the val Iey; in all probability it is not, but it is csfr ayo nm see from !ny poin on the top, amnd piro jets even so much that you cannot see the perpendicular surface of it by looking over the pre cipice. Th'le view is superior to that from Paris mountain in every respect. It is much more extensive, grand and imposing, and is umany hundred feet higher. Directly ini front of yon to the South rises up~ Table Rmoek (9 railes distant) and faces you wihm its flat Iperpendicular side of 11 hunidred feet of solid rock-onm every hand around are scattered mountains rising up h~Iere and there from the valley and some times appearing to be piled upon the top of each other, over whose top you are far above commanidiing a view ol theim all, while the valley directly be luow is so (distant that trees appear as shrubs and the distant farms as the habitations of Lilliputianms. The air here was cool arnd delightful and the water and fare excellent, and we left for Deaiver's with many regrets that our stay could not be longer. A days ride over the mountains brought us to this place, where we found several ac-. quaintances andr have now been several days timaking the beat use of excellent sulphur water and very good fare. The Springs are situated in Iluncomube County, among the mountains in a ve. ry pretty part of North Carolina, five miles distanmt from Ashville, and are kept by the Messrs. llenry, attentiveI and obliging hosts, whio spare no pains to make the travellers stay with thema pleasant and agreeable. But we have written a long letter and must stop. You may hear from us again. J.s.R. F'or thme Banner. Tribute of Rtespect. SUMTERVzmLE Sept. 7, 1854.
