If we could set aside or set at rest the
war daily and hourly waging against us
by the North, the people of tho South
would still bo compelled to decido a moot

of belf government. Can thay, under any
circumstances, abandon the right and
practice of self govemucnt ? Durst they
do no! CWn they forget that they hovo
duties to discharge, as well as rights to

thi'ui, and that men and citizens are
to como after them and that they are but
the trustees of those two generation* holding

What becomes of the great boast of the
cis?Atlantic Anglo? Norumn-the syno
nyiue of liberty?self government, when
we arc iu a fixed minority in House and

lost, and no more to be numbered except
with tho things that were. Our ancestor?
contended, and fod<jht, and bled, and conquered
fur it; tbey left. it to us as our most
precious heritage ; can we consent to yield
it r.p, and take the merited curses of posterity?
If we can do this, shall we not
sanction and verify nil of evil that the North
has so frcufy been laying ut our doors?
Hut not oaly is our self-government nt

are the avowed champions of absolute government;
tbey scorn all limitations, human

SOUTHERN FORBEARANCE.
The forbearance of tho Southern people hat
become proverbial 1 It has boon thoroughly
tested for a long aeries of years, and by every
means that Northern ingenuity could invent
Verily, if this alone is proof of virtue, they a-**
of all men rnorf virtuous. No other people on
tho face of the earth would have borne sc
quietly and for so long a time, even from the
hands of their acknowledged masters, tho bur
nens, injuries and insults, which the North has
inflicted upon the South, whilo the me ans ol
righting themselves wore in their reach.
Tistho nature of the meatiest worm to turn
and sting the foot that treads u|?on it, and the
instinct of the whole animal creation tndfftnd
themselves from their enemies. History furn
ishes no record of a people so indifferent to
their own happiness and well being, so utterly
lost to virtue,aud so insensible, to shame, as to
manifest no concern for the preservation o!
natural and inalinenble rights, and laugh at
their own calamities. Men have waged long
ond bloody wars with their fellow-men foi
causes far more trivial than those for which
the South complains, and have been sustained
by the good and the wise. May we not have
reached that fatal " point at which forbearance
to he a virtue " ?
Equal*, in all rospects wi'h our Northern
brethren, wo entered into a bond of Union with
them, in which mutual rights were fully guar'
an teed, and haud in hand went forward to the
glorious work of building up this great Republic.
Without stopping to count the coat. 01
estimate the dangers, the South, in every
emergency, eagerly hastened to the rescue ol
the North from foreign foes, and lavishly exrUMwl/wl

She ha* never suffered the call of the common
country to pn?s unheeded, nor limited on the
way of duty to inquire wheihor North or South
would roap'tho greatest good.
The North has meanly taken advantage o(
her National apirit. If an exhausted treasury
demands that soma financial scheme should he
devised for the purpose of replenishing the
Coffers of the General Government ?Northern
cupidity and Yaulceo ingenuity suggests at
once some slupeudons swindle upon tho South
in the shape of Protective Tarriffs- If the
South, notwithstanding tariff*, marches on to
prosperity under the protecting shield of the
Constitntiouf?the " higher law " is made to
ntcuMn tk* Constitution, that her prospenty
may frel the blight of Abolition. |f thecoun
try liecomes involved in war, the South must
pour out its blood and tresauT* to purchase
peace, and add to the common domain, while
Northern fanatics bowl, in anticipation, theii
horrid requiems over her gallant sons, " we!
coining them to bloody bands and inhospitable
graves."
In the disposition of the common p-opcrty
in the petronage of the general government
in all the advantages accruing frost thellnfot
of the States, the North takes the lion's share
while in the burdens, the dangers, and the
disadvantages, the South has no competitor ?
In every contest between the two sections ?h<
South beS lost?the North gained.
Surely, if we have submitted tbas far to tin
equal legislation, and an warrantable interfer

FEMAI.B EDUCATION.
For several years the "Vox pops!!" has '
been crying out fur and demanding a change
, in the manner and style of educating Females, j
Nov, at the beginuiug ut' this article, we wish
" to ht understood, and understood clfarly. We ;
advocate, with all our puny might, that all
! Females should be educated, and educated 1
'? well. They should he educated iu such a
* manner that, their schooling finished, they
should be prepared to take coinmiiud of a
t household and rear up a family to the honor
i- their country >.pd to the glory of God. One
y of our most gifted statesmen writes that " the
r futnrg destiny of thin country lies with the
mothers of the land/'and it needs no sylogistia !
1 argument to prove this ; this has, in a measure,
e beet) accomplished by the organization of,
i, Female Colleges, Universities and Seminaries
b gl! around us. The good old fashioned school
r bus been abandoned, aud nothing but a Cob
s lege, or at least a Seminary, will suffice to
- contain the hooped aristocracy of the present
s day. We believe that the present system of
educating Females is totally rotten. At the '
Seminary they are taught that labor is die- j
honorable, that idleness is the insignia of high j
i breeding. The public opinion of their fellow j
' students demand it, or they'll be thought poor. '
t How often hna the confiding, artless maiden, (
in the short space of on* v?*ar. Wn I
m J ~~ ;
[ intoa heartless, plotting, foshionable coquette,
i who, when she left for school, was the joy and
f pride of the family, and returned almost
i j ashamed of her hard working father and brothi
ers. We believe that these faahionuble Semii
j nnries of learning ruir. a girl, mentally, physi.
r cally, and in a great ru^ny cases cut the silver
cord that keep them near to the throne of God.
First, their mind is ruined by the style of books
i that generally flood these Seminaries, and
instead of applying themselves diligently dur
ing study hours, they arc generally poring
) over some loTe-sick novel, and never think of
> their task until the bell calls tbero to recitai
tion,'iivu their wits are put to work to hud a
P way to ehr*U the teacher; These and other
\ wrongs they deem right, for they arenot taught
1 to tlio contrary, or rather it is the custom of
> the place, and upon leaviug school how often
do we bear young ladies say that their rduraI
Won w Jhttohtil, and they now fold their hands
i and Id "silks and satins" wait to he picked
v up by the first !ight-hraded, fine-dressed Jacksknapesthet
may propose,and they pass through
i life the blind loading the blind.
> Secondly, they arc also ruined, physically,
. atth^e fi?."l\jonuble Seminaries. We art told
i by every medical writer that exorcise is just as
. necessary to health as food is to life, and at
' these Colleges the young ladies spend all their
spare time, cooped up reading the light litemf

on intemperance, ho ..ays: 41 Greater numbers
annually die among the female sex, in coti.sc
' quence of tight lacing, than are destroyed
among the other sex by the use of spirituous
liquors in the same time." Dr. Todd, principal (
of sn insane retreat, in comparing the self
tortures of the ancient, and the devotees of
fash ion makes this remark, "they possibly I
, might Lire passed a dagger too deeply into

THE SOUTH UNITED.
How cheering must the present aspect of
affairs be to those how*t " co-operatiotiists "
of 1850, who insisted upon the Union of the
Southern States, as a necessary umjj indispensihle
condition to the action of South Carolina
in Resistance to Northern aggressions I The
South is nnited! united beyond the most sanguine
expectations qf the most hopeful of us
ail. Perhaps every Southern citizen, without
exception, is not agreed as to the mode and
measure of resistance proper to be adopted,
nor every slave-holding State prepared to stnud
upon the same platform, uor.do we imagine
such a result enn ever be attained. Surely our
co-operation fitends did not mean to teqnire
this! They meant only such unanimity as
that which now prevails?that would render
,1.. ? ? -
?uu muuii oorn eminent and
safe. To quibble At such a time would have
been unworthy <?f Caroliuians.
But, wo repent it, co-operation i?i secured.
From tbo Potomac to the Rio Grande ono univereal
yentiment animates the popular mind,
nnd one voice proclaims the determination to
yield no more to abolition rapacity. The
remedy is well understood.
But how terrible, on the other hand, nmat^Jj^^Lu
be the disappointment of thoee, who, at heart ^RKL^P
advocating the u Union as it is" at all baazards,demanded
this co-operation merely as a
subterfuge, deeming it a safe expedient by
which to avoid any action at all ! In what, a
dilemma are?hey placed ! The Union of the
South, to their dismay,ia accomplished?their
own terms complied with,?the bugbears in
their path are slain, and every obstruction removed.
The pledge! the pledge alone remains
to be fulfilled.
We believe that the present happy condition
of sffhirs at the South is mainly attributable
to the honest And zealous efforts of sincere
co-operationists, and it is the duty of every
good Southern man to strive with all his might
to ceiuent tho Union of the South. The old
secession pnrty is ready to follow,?it does aot
ark to lend?in any measure which promisee
success. All thnt it asks is, that the wny be
pointed ont. ' Hot headed " and impetuous.
as thej were thnu/ht to be, ,4the fire-eaters ,r
of 1850, are somewhat behind their old opopenents
now, hat are willing to be kept in the
rear, so that they are still marching onn*inl.?
Let the leaden then pgree upon the plan of
the campaign and extend the orders. Let
them draw up the plau now, for midgt the
heat of the battle we cannot halt to hold councils
of war.

Juntas we succeeded in getting the accommoda-ion
of a tri weekly mail from this place
to iur Court Huuae direct, the mail boy takes
it ioto his head that there is t?o necessity for
it to go furthor, and declines to wait tor it at
that point, thereby depriving every Post Office

maT The " Busy Bee," that spicy littla
paper, published in Charleston, S. C., soma
time ago contained an article signed " A
Traveller," calling attention to the fact that
Southern papers were prevented front sale at
the depots or on the road of the South Carolina
Rail Road Company, which was pronounced
to be untrue. The following, however, offers
some confirmation to the statement of " A a
Traveller."

presumption, end under the behalf that Mr
Caldwell's statement was a sufficient guarantee
to the public, thai** Southern Papers were not
prevented from sale in the depots, or on the

in a card in the Charleston Nown,and to request
all the Papers that had copied the .cle J A

under this same belief, ws sent three oarrieis,
