Letter from Hon. A. P. Butler. Stonelands, (Near Edgefield C. II.,) August 8, 1855. J Gentlemen : Your communication of the 3d instant, inviting mo to attend "a meeting of those citizens of South Carolina who believe that Slate Rights ami the Liberties of j the People are endangered by the existence j and progress of the Know Nothing Order,"! and, in tlie event of my inability to attend, i requesting "such expression of my views as! I may think proper to communicate," has j V been received. Whilst the state of mv health will not | allow mo to be with you on the occasion to j which you have invited me, I fear in the few remarks which I shall submit, I cannot | do justicc to tiio subject on which you wish ' my opinion. In the threshold of these re-1 marks, I give it as my belief, that the /b/r-; play spirit, and unbigoted provisions,of our ; l... cuumitinKMI u.iuinit 11ii nut;* | cess, by tho dagger power of secret and ir- j responsible associations. To illustrate what I will say hereafter, I; #will quote from memory a sentence of Wash-1 ingt.in Irving: ''Our ancestors not onlv I proclaimed but practised a hardy morality that feared no contact. They trusted to the courage and power of truth in their an- J ti prescriptive constitutions and opinions., Tliey were willing to trust their destinies on tho arena of a fair and open trial. They , thought they could trust the cause of religion, so far as tiiere should ho a political jurisdiction over it, to the following clause of our Federal Constitution: " 'Congress shall make no law respeet- j ing an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridg- i ing tho freedom of speech, or of tho press : j or of the right of the people peaceably to I assemble and to petition tho Governmeut for a redress of grievances.'" And, by the same Constitution, Congress was entrusted with the power of establishing an uniform rule of naturalization.] Now, ns I understand it, the Know Nothing ; organization is to make war upon boMl! these provisions iu their tt ue spirit. I sup-1 poso their .aim will nol bo avowed to estab-1 lish a religion or to exclude foreign imrriigra- j tiou; but, under the assumption of Protest-1 ant purity and American patriotism, it is the purpose oi the Order to take voluntary ju- ! risdiclion over these subjects?that i>, to J put into office themselves under the names i of Protesiai.t piety and American devotion. I And. it' tliev shr.iiVl ?nii.! by the influence of these heterogeneous ami i irresponsible alliances, they will have substi-'< tuted their conventional obligations for the! Constitution of the Confederacy. I believe I have left out another one of J their avowals?a common purpose to pre-! serve the Union, as they understand it should"' bo preserved. I acknowledge no piety that is proscriptive, I recognize no patriotism that is uncivilized and exclusive, and I want no Union that is not under the control of an operative Constitution. The Declaration of Independence, and the Federal and State Constitutions of the United States, were made under auspices and influences to rebuke the bigoted and conceited spirit that would invade til cm in tho 10th r.pnfnrv u-li<>n t lin A ent parts of the earth arc as near as the dif ferent provinces of tho earao empire were formerly. I regard tjje Declaration of Indepcndcuce and tlie Federal Constitution as the great and enduring pillars of an altar erected in this new world to toleration?an altar that owes its construction not to the Jews nor Catholics, nor to Protestants only, but totbe united labors of all who had sought here a refuge from trans atlantic domination. "While Protestants may have borne the first and largest share in the work of American Independence, other?, of whatever religious education, were scarcely behind them in zeal and in activity for the hallowed cause. Even the Jew was no idle spectator of its advancement. I remember to have heard it. slated?indeed, amplo evidence of the fact was on several occasions before mo while upon tlio bench?that young Salvador was the first person who publicly read the Declaration of Independence in our'96 District. He fell shortly afterwards, battling for American freedom. And who was this Salvador ? A gallant and dashing young Jew. But a pertinent inquiry, in the consideration of this question, relates to the origin ,.r v xt ,i - .... <ji ivuuw oiningism. Where did it originate ? And why ? It is certainly not indigenous at the South. There wereno6uch P5P-(*xistinaj virtues. It was and is foreign to our necewgties, whether ROfcial or political. It was no more Southern in its inception than it is iu its development. The North was its birth-place. It arose, primarily, as an antidote to evils which were there brought about by an abuse of the Naturalization laws. The introduction of foreigners was permitted, in disregard of the several constitutional requirements as to three years' notice, five years' residence, &c. Mischief is now resulting from the practice. But it is their own fault. Thev have min gled the waters of the Orontes and the Tiber, and it is theirs to drink of them. At the South these abuses have not prevailed. A proper observanco of the law has had the effect of -bringing amongst us a different class of foreign population from that at the North?one, at any rate, of which we * do not complain. Another reflection here suggests itself: "Where is the necessity of any such interference with the elective franchise as now proposed by the Know Nothings, when the State governments have, after all, plenary & control of the vrhole matter? Not only hive they this control in regard to the privileged voting, bat the power exists in tiiem eyenio determine who shall enjoy the rights Qf inberitauoe within tnefr bo'ders. If we, -were really apprehensive that foreign immigration was about to etxl$Dger us in either of ^kese respects, or in any other, the true course would surely be to sesk remedial nctij^'through the State troth iced at the South, :is but another Tro-I jnn horse, brought in by enemies, and to bo j accepted only by the shallow mid ineons.derate. Like that horse, it comi-s heralded as an object to cull forth our pr;iises and enlist our adherence, when it is really but the daring stratagem of those who care not for our welfare and respect not our rights. My conviction is that thu doe.trines and tendencies of Know Nothingism are not only insulting to such foreigners as adopt our institutions from choice, and with the honest resolution of rendering implicit obedience to the laws we have proclaimed, but tlx?varo in grossly bad faith with the provisions of tin* Constitution, and especially uncalled for l>y tlso South. That volnntary associations of individuals should seek to supersede tho Constitution of our country, is a degree of arrogant assumption which I cannot contemplate without aversion. Whatever may be the fate of the Union, let not our Southern honor be tarnished by any the least violation of the. sacred obligations of that revered instrument. After what I have said, gentlemen, yon may expect, a distinct summary of my opinions. I have no hesitation in giving it. 1 am neither Jew nor Catholic, but an humble, and, 1 trust, a sincere supporter of Protestant Christianity. In politics, I ntn no Whig. I am 110 consolidationist. 1 am a Democratic Republican, believing in the rights and dignity of State authority. I am willing. I hope, with patriotic zeal, to support. the Federal Government while exercising its functions within constitutional prescriptions. As a citizen, I am proud of the deeds which have been achieved under the Star Spangled Banner; nor shall any influ enees eiUu-r < ! popular sentiment or ot parly dictation, over divest me ot* that feeling. I have the honor to remain, your ohedicnt servant and friend, A. P. Butler. To Messrs. J. Seizing, Jr., W. G. T)?*Sanssure, Titos. Y. Simon, Jr., and C. lv.

An advertisement in the last Advertiser tells of a hores and buggy which were found in the woods near the Old Wells, in Edgefield, on Sunday, 2d inst. The horse was hitched to the buggy and tied to a tree. A man calling himself Jdhj* Davis was seen in possession of and trying to sell them on the previous Friday, and after they were found ho. was again seen making his way towards Augusta on foot We omitted to note in our last issue the appearance of a prospectus for a new paper kn r>-l i.~ t*r r> iv uo vfiawiioiicu in vuiuiiiuuif uy >v. u.

Whatever may be the opin- ! ion of any one as to the strict propriety of ' fairs and feasts lor benevolent and clnistian 5 purposes, we arc sure no one will stay away * on this account. Tlie object in view in this ease is certainly highly commendable. The j parsonage should bo provided with every necessary comfort.

Wo hop.? "Ai.van"; ; dor?R not feel willing that Cn:holies of Hi>.< i co'iatr:/ an 1 of tlio nineteenth century j should ho mafic to suffer for the sins of Catholics of Europe and of tlie dark ones. That were unchristian, if we have any idea of what is christian. And surely he would not have Catholics tried and condemned for treason they themselves have never committed, and which thr-y have sworn never to commit! That were too much like the Dutchman who gave his son a second finger! nc because he snsnicionpfl Mm nf //<;?/ - ivg "damn" at receiving the first one ! But want of time and space foihids lis saving more at present than simply that we regard the cry against Catholics as one of the most false, old-woman-like, and idle alarms that even startled nervous men from their slumhers. If Know Nothingism don't die before we get in the humor, we may give our humble notions of the Catholic feature more in detail. Ocr friend UH.,M of the Telescope, undertakes to illustrate our "philosophy" of im- j migration. His illustration will be seen on ! the preceding p;?ge. We ask if he denies : the simple propositions we have laid down ? j Does lie deny the position that any honest man has a natural and divine l ight to a home and citizenship in any part of the world if he promises implicit obedience to the laws? Does he deny that we have no natural right to appropriate a whole continent to our exclusive use, so long as there is need of soil for the suffering millions of other countries to make bread upon ? We know he does not. He has too much of that christian benevolence which moved the heart of the good Samaritan to deny such a doctrine. Although we make no pretensions to controversial skill, yet if he is disposed to take issue squarely with us on these points, we are willing to reason with him. We are loo confident in our belief of the correctness of the views wo havf taken to fear the lance of him or any one else.? But in the meantime we would remind "1L" that we expressly deprecated an overflow of the "spring." Wo would have , let to run in just fas t enough not to stir tip the bottom.*nnd make the water muddy; and (as we said before) if possible we wonld have the stream flowing in free from mud and filth. But who would object to rain because U- might swell the branches and , overflow liis spring occasionally 1 Who nvnonta ancfliinrr nf imnnrhnno fa Ari/.n* ?n this world without some incidental evil ? "H." does not, and he cannot therefore be a Know Nothing. His mind and heart are too comprehensive for the indulgence of i such-idle fears and such selfish avarice as Know Nothingibm promulgates INOBNIOU8 APOLOOV OF A aCHOOI^DQT ?Tn one of our seminaries, the other day, a little boy appeared before his teacher wifcfc his lesson unlearned.

Tim editor of tlio Edgefield Advertiser ins recently returned from his ;yinual sum ' ner jaunt to the mountains. In telling his p enders what lie saw and heard while ab- ie s J i cut, he thus speaks of the Greenville and j | Columbia Railroad and some of its adjuncts: j' Wo saw the little Railroad village of; | STinety Six, which appeared to be in about \ t lie same condition it was this time last year !1 ?no better, no worse. Mr. Walker, the 1 nn-kocper of the place, accommodated us i j "or a night with a degree of kindness and ! t consideration for which we must return our j I hanks. | Wo saw the Greenville and Columbia j1 ?ii tic ..nn..rio..o..r ...... i' lepots, turnouts, ct cetera. Soiye officious ( ndividual a year or two ago, impressed us Lvitli the idea that this road was \vell nigh j worthy of a place in the category of hum- t >iiu;s, that it was badly built, badly managed, * md afforded the most uncomfortable des- t ription of riding. Personal experience, ' which is a very good thing to be guided by ' x-casionally, h:is taught us quite the opposite <>f these impressions. The construction if the road, its adjuncts, its direction, the ? :omfort of its cars and the smoothness of ,heir running, appear to us about as commendable as on the majority of Railroads, ['lie eating-houses too upon the line are 'poken of in high terms, especially the one . kept by Dr. Calhoun at Greenwood. The ; country through which this road passes from | Ninety-Six to Greenville fell much below our ' preconceived estimate. It is decidedly poor ] ind uninteresting, except perhaps where the rallies of the Saluda exhibits occasional spols uf low-ground fertility.?In connection with ' the Greenville and Columbia Road we not omit to mentiou that one of the passenijer-train conductors is n praiseworthy young citizen of our District, a sou of old Sir. Van .tledloi* k whom some of our readers well remember. We heard young Medloek spoken of as an industrious, polite and eflicient conductor. On the car*, we saw among a good many others Mr. Pen in, the President.of the Road, , and .ludge. Ward law. The former was on ritio ?>f lilt; nciml lnr?i m\ ??n.l !?/?

Thk accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., of the ravages of yellow fever are truly sickening. A letter from the former city to the Charleston Courier says:? "One day last week there were fifty-eight deaths, the next forty-nine?and that is awful out bf 700. If the mortality was as great in Charleston in proportion to population, it would he about *100 a day. What do you think of that? We are now put- ' ting two bodies in one box?coffins not to be had. An old man told me he had buried his last child in a soap box, tuf he could not get a collin. One body wae lying in a house eight days before it was buried. A store was smelling very badly and they broke it open, and found a dead body. Von ' cannot walik the streets without smelling the decomposing bodies.

We have been burning tar in the hospital yard. The negroes are not exempt from it here at all. We have over 30 (rases , ?there are between 80 and 90 eases in the house now. We lose from 10 to 15 a day. Such sights I never saw before?now there is a body lying in the yard all night in the rain, and they are about bringing two more to put there with the others. We have no lantern to take out in the yard, so will be obliged to leave the bodies there till morn- ' ing. I have just tied down a man, and they are tying down another. The screams hero are perfectly awful." Another account says:? "The fever is on the increase in Norfolk and Portsmouth. There aresaid to be fourteen hundred cases under treatment. The deaths in Norfolk on Sunday were 00, and on Monday 57. At Portsmouth on Friday the deaths were 37." The people of Charleston and Columbia are deserving of all praise for their efforts in behalf of their stricken sister cities. Charleston has been sending money, physicians and nurses for some time past to their aid ; and Columbia, in addition to private contributions, it was resolved on Monday, by the City Council, to send five hundred dollars to Norfolk and Portsmouth each. Fatal Accident.?We are informed that Mr. Hugh Duftie, a respectable old citizen of our District, came to his death recently in the following unlucky manner: He left his residence on Thursday the 23d August, and nothing was seen or heard of liim until tlie Saturday, following when no was found, near ftethany Church, in an old field gullv, himself and hcrso both dead.

Dt Sep 14, 1855 19 2w PUBLIC NOTICE HAVING, in thepaper> of this place, ad: vertised tlie Lands of W. D. Pnrtlow at) the suit of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, I feel that I should make an apology to Jlr. Part low, for what might be taken for a wilful and malicious act, (though nothing was further from mv intention,) and one calculated to injure him. The casesunder which the levy was made, are W. D. Partlow vs. Greenville and Columbia liailrond Company? one for ?1,01)0, the other for $500, there being no Execution against him in fnvor of any person. The levy was made for costs only, and supposing the cost could be mndc out of both parties, (ns the decision of the Judges is that each party is to pay their own cost,) I proceeded to make the cost out of Mr. Pa? tlow. The cases are now all adjusted, and no case exists against him in my otfiee. The levy was made inadvertently and through mistake, and I felt, it my duty to make this pubi.c reparation towards Mr. J'urtlou, for whom ITmve a high regard, and whom I would be as far from injuring intentionally, as nny man living.
