ABBEVILLE C. II., SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 125. MISCELLANY. Col. Brooks' Letter to the Spartanburg Dinner. 1 The following letter from Col. Brooks to the Spartanburg committee on the occasion of the dinner to Col. Oitit, was marked for re-publication in the Press some time since, but has been inadvertently delayed until now:? Leaside, 9G, August 20, 1855. Gentlemen : On the 25th of last month I had the honor to participate in a complimentary dinner, given by the citizens of Anderson, to the Hon. Mr. Orr. I then bore testimony to his ability, usefulness, and patriotism, and the regret which my unavoidable absence from the entertainment at Spartanburg would occasion, is . thereby in a measure relieved. With the political principles of Mr. Orr, aVid Ins views of present and coming issues, *' I am somewhat familiar. His principles are of the State Rights Democratic school, and his sentiments in regard to the impending issue are those of a patriot and slave owner. I fear he is too sanguine in his belief that the Northern States will take a sober second thought before they push us to the wall; but should they prove as fanat| ically and recklessly blind as I believe they will, then the soldier who prepares to defend f his home and community in advance of ^ your Representative will need tho light of ' the morning star when lie whets his sabre for the battle. In my judgment this Government cannot stand longer than one more Presidential term. There will be much sparring and violent altercation at the next session of Congress, but "the end is not yet." An attempt will probably be made by the Freesoilers in the lower Ilonse to enjrmfi upon the main appropriation bill a clause re-enacting the Missouri restriction line. The Senate will reject tli?-frill thus vitiated, and the chances arjythat the obstinacy of the Freesoilcrs wjfl cause Congress to adjourn wHhout~ffp|)ropr;Htillrr moneys for the curre'^<fxpciises of the Government. j!# For my own part I should welcome this f condition of affairs. The South has pre cious miio interest in ine reaerai crib, and the withholding of supplies would be scarcely felt by us, while at the North ruin to themselves and families would be the immediate result. Ilnnger is a good cure for fanaticism, and it is my belief that our best hope of ever having another constitutional l'rcsident, lies in the defeat of the civil aud diplomatic appropriation bill by the Frecsoilers. I take it that 110 gentleman at the South would be a disunionist if he was assured that the Government would henceforth be constitutionally administered. I hold that the Administration of President Pierce has been truest to the Constitution of any in thirty-five years. Under this Administration the South has -* been restored to her equal rights in tlje Territories, and her wounded honor soothed by the repeal of an odious Congressional enactment. It has placed the South in a defensive attitude, and behind the rampart of the Constitution. If the abolition traitors now move, they incur the hazards of' this assailant, and present an issue which will rally the South with the spirit and determination of one bravo man. The present Administration has put tho South in the .right, and the malcontents of the No/th in the wrong. In a sectional war a pervading consciousness ol right?not only in principle, but on a particular issue also?will be worth to the South an army of a hundred thousand chosen knights. '' Why, then, should we grumble or complain? Why denounce or distrust this Democratic Administration or the Democratic Party ? Why tako up with an in quisitorial, underground organization, which has whittled down its platform to simple opposition to tho most constitutional and best Administration we have over had ? It the appointment of Mr. Sonle, aSoutliernci and a slave owner, so heinous a politica offence as to justify dissensions and division! in the slave owning army on the eve of a conflict for the existence of tho institutior itSb.'/* Or is a sufficient motive presentee to tke fai,'t that, in tho selection of tw.p Gov <ernor8 ?f Territorial, belonging in commot to all the States, but one was taken front South Carolina ! It is my faitli that no maD will be true 01 just to himself who is not so to ptberaj ftnc this I believe of a people. Magnanimity justice, safety, all constrain-us to, support the present Administration; so long aa i1 continues true to the South, v Let us also unite in earftest^ffbft'to keej oar people UuiOed and pre^fHd for lh< great sectional struggle. #b?Ufhii*waitii>fi u?and wbfto the etrifebagu^rl&the wa cry for the South be-3P?fflrap4?cdtiff French Broad and Qreonvillo Railroad Convention.

Waddy Thompson, Col. T. C. Perrin was Called to the Chair, and John McKay appointed Secretary. The Convention, upon being organized, was addressed by Hon. John Baxter, of Henderson, N. C, and lion. Waddy Thompson, of Greenville, S. C., relative to the object for which it was assembled. On motion of Hon. Waddy Thompson, a Committee of Five was raised to prepare' business for the Convention, and the Chair appointed the following Committee: (Jen. Waddy Thompson, Col. John Baxter, Hon. J. B. O'Xeall, Col. S. Fair, Maj. 13. F. Perry. On motion of Vardry MoBee, Esq., itwgpj resolved that this Convention adjourn to meet at the Court House*, this eveninor nt / - o eight o'clock. Wr.dnesdav Evening, 8 o'clock. According to adjournment, the Convention re-assembled at the Court House, at 8 o'clok p. m. Hon. Waddy Thompson, Chairman of the Committee appointed to. prepare business for the Convention, submitted the following Report: The Committee appointed to prepare uusmess lor tne Uonvention, liave instructed me to 6:iy that, concurring, as they do, in the report adopted by this body, on the 12th July, at Ashvillc, they deem it unnecessary to re-state the argument therein coutained. Since 1830 no one has ever doubted the importance of the connection of Charleston, Louisville and Cincinnati, by the French Bread Valley. The Committee, believing that the time has now arrived when that connection ought to be made, recommend the .adoption of the following resolutions, viz: 1. That this Convention, in common with all the people of South Carolina, desire the construction of the French Broad Railroad, and a connection therewith by the South Carolina llailroad. 2. That as soon as the surveys and estimates can be made, the work should be attempted, by securing private and State subscriptions. The resolutions were ably and eloquently advocated by Honorable Waddy Thompson, Honorable John Belton O'Neall, Colonel N. W. Woodfin, and Honorable John Baxter, and unanimously adopted. On inotiou of Gen. W. Thompson, the IV 11 i - * lonowing resolution was submitted and unanimously adopted, viz: Jlesolvtd, That a committee of be appointed by the Chairman of this Convention, to ask of the Legislature of this State, at its next session, an appropriation for a railroad to the line of the State of Tennessee, from such point in this State as may be decided upon after the surveys shall be completed. In accordance with the foregoing resolution, the Chairman appointed the following Committee: Gen. W. Thompson, S. Fair, Esq., Maj. B. F. Perry, Col. T. P. Brockman and Perry E. Duncan, Esq.

Hogs wero selling at five cents gross, and horses were extravagantly high. Riding horses ranged from $150 to $250; single draft horses, that also rdde well, were rated from $200 to $400. A gentleman from Newberry passed "The Station" with a pair of horses which he had Jurchased in Kentucky for his carriage, and e had purchased them separately, paying for one $515, and for the other $300. Neither of them appeared as perfect as "Passenger" nor as fleet as "Fashion " Mulqe were also very high; common two year old from $100 to $150, and fine large nnmber one mules were held from $150 to $250. k A.'.- . 1 : ?J J "w-V ' *4uu carnage aoraes were conBiawea orui> otiy" ttock. Southern Benovolonco. It will be remembered, that Twenty Milliens of pounds sterling: were paid by Great Britain for the freedom of the West India < negroes. Not a dollar of this principal i has even been paid ; the interest only has < been met. It seems that according to a ! speech by the Rev. Mr. Stiles of the Pre9- 1 byterian Church, Twenty-Five Millions of I pounds sterling have actually been contiibuted to the freedom of the Negro by the voluntary act of Slaveholders in the South. 1 Slaves, valued at that amount, have been I I -.,.1 -l-ll e , uj viiviu, aim uvt'i y uunnr ui ' it lias been at their own cost. Tlio treasury of Great Britain is obligated to the 1 West India Planters for the value of their I slaves, but in this instance, Southern Slaveholders have made the sacrifice of their I own free will and in obedience to their gen- j erous impulses. i Dr. Stiles, says the Richmond Dispatch, i next shows that the men who dwell south s of Mason and Dixon's line, have done more to convert the heathen than the whole < world besides. The sum total of the mem- ] bership of all the heathen churches in the i world, is estimated by those best informed i \ upon the subject, at something like two f hundred thousand. Dr. Stiles slates that ' to say nothing of the numerous negro s members of all the Churches iu the State ' of Maryland, nor of the Presbyterian, Epis- ] copal or Lutheran churches, nor of certain i branches of the Methodist and Baptist de- | nominations, the Methodist Church South 1 numbers 131,000 communicants, and the Southern Baptist. Church 1.30,000, making together 261,000, .1 far larger number of converted heathen than all the free soil Churches in the world have yet converted to Christianity ! ''Lot our Northern brethren weigh this singular fact. These very branches of the South, upon whom they themselves have been laying on so hard and so long for their cruel oppression of the bondsmen, and whom, forsooth, from year to year, they have been so anxious to persuade Providence to thrust out of the Church, as not worthy a standing in it, TiiKSB-arct the very men whom that very Providence has made the honored instruments, in one sense at least, of doing more for I he solvation of the heathen world than all the Churches militant besides." The sum contributed by the South in the emancipation of slaves, is greater than the whole amount contributed by all the benevolent societies of the American Church to the various objects of Christian liberality. Dr. Stiles presents a table, showing that the sum total of contributions to the American Church, for religious purposes, amounts to twenty-Jive millions, six hundred and sixty-eight thousand, Jive hundred j and Jifty-seven dollars, while the sum total < or money surrendered to advance ll:e cause 1 of emancipation, amounts to nearly one i hundred and UoaMy-five millions of dollars ! , Such facts as these need no comment. , What a sublime contrast do these quiet , and mighty deeds of charity present to tlie , fanatical words of Old and New England!

A friend has just written to a member of 1 the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society, that Abbeville, since the return of her delegates, had subscribed five i hundred dollars to the Society. A com- < mittee consisting of Dr. Barratt, Capt. Byrd < and Col. Marshall, have agreed to canvass the District, and already the beautiful villages of Green wood, Due Wcstand Lowndesville, have tendered barbecues, in order to bring the Agriculturists together. In Abbeville this (Treat movfiinput nriirinfttnrl.

A District so noted for richness of soil, thrift of her Agriculturists, prodigality in her hospitality, and whoso true intelligence is evidenced by her acts, can only be properly appreciated when she is properly known. She has in r her borders more lovely villages, she was first to establish the most noted private seats of learning in the State, and now in this groat industrial movement, she is where her 1 enterprise placed her, at the flag staff.

Mr. Editor: The progress of the work on this Road not having been so rapid as many expected and wished, a good deal of carping has been the consequence.

To the persevering exertions of a few genLlemen of character and influence, at the liead of whom stands Mr. Gourdin, the President, we are mainly indebted for what lias been done. From the time the Georgia charter was obtained, they have been indefatigable; and we are assured that at no time have they been more sanguine of success than at present. Mr. Gourdin's acceptance of the I' leney, at the outset, was merely for . purpose of organizing, and placing the * n progress. Engaged extensively in . less, which requires a good deal of his pe. onal attention, he could not devote his ivhole time to the Road.

Tiik New York correspondent of the Jhark-ston Standard gives tho following ,>rief description of the last development of Northern piety:? We arc in the midst of revolution. A.n ism has sprung up, and is rapidly spreading among us, that threatens to turn aur existing social institutions up side iown. It is the doctrine of "Free Love." This entirely icnores the nresAnt. mnrrincrf _ " O ~m - 1 tyatem. Its disciples contend for an unrestricted indulgence of the passion of love. A paper was published here for more than h year, that advocated this now idea. A. few associations were formed in New York and Brooklyn, where the theory was reduced to practice, and now the leaders of the movement have gone West in order to purchase land and live as a separate community. Their headquarters for the present is Cincinnati. It is said that they already number more than 30,000. The association is called tho "Progressive Union." The admission fee is 25 cents, and every member is required, after being initiated, should he desiro to remain with the sect, to surrender all his wordly goods. It is fair to presume that those who have joined wore not very wealthy. Love and Law.?A lawBuit, says the Paris correspondent of the New York Daily Times, is just visible in the dim distance, to grow out ot' the following singular interfrelation of a will by the sole legatee. This egatce was the nephew of the testator, who made, as a condition of the bequest, that he should marry within the year, and that ho Bhould not marry a certain young lady, with whom the uncle had been in love, and to whom tho nephew was attached. The nephew, determined both to inherit and not sacrifiee his affections, hu married a washerWoman of wretched health, and of advanced age, having numbered^ winters. In this way bo fulfills airtBfrCQpditions of the will, and upon the death of fcfo first wife, he is free, according to bis interpretation, to espouse the -object ofiiis choice. The lawsuit I have alluded to will spring frorriPfui opposite construction of the instrument, and will. be brought by two disinherited nephews. a > ; ?'

The Southern Pa iot gives the following as the substance of speech addressed by Gov. Adams to one jf the Greenville regiments :? j The speech of his Excellency to the Reg iMjciii ?i? uumuuKrixeu uy great good sense , and wisdom. He inculcated sound mid wholesome political principles, love of country, devotion to the State, respect for, and obedience to, the Government, within its < proper sphere, a continuance of military pride and spirit on the part of the people. | He deprecated all further excitement in Fed- . eral politics, till some overt act of aggrev ; sion on the part of Congress, and then let ] the other Southern States lead off and . South Carolina would follow. He had lived j in a crisis all his life, but nothing had grown | out of it. The Union had proved too strong ; for nullification, too strong for secession, j and would prove too strong for Abolition. That fell spirit would be crushed whenever ( it was brought in collision with the Federal ? Government in Massachusetts. Tho peo- J pie there would not involve the country in j civil war and revolution in their opposition to i slavery. This speech was delivered in ad- . mirable style, in a clear and distinct tone, | heard all over tho parade ground.

A Kentucky paper furnishes the following account of Elijah Dennev, a citizen of that State, and a soldier of tho revolution :? Ho will be one hundred and eighteen years of age on the 10th of September next, and is active as many men at forty. He works dail^ upon a farm, and throughout the whole of his life has been an early riser. He informed the writer that he had never drank but one cup of coffee, and that was in tho year 1848. He served seven years in tho war of the revolution, and was wounded at the siege of Charleston; was also at the siege of Savannah, and in the battlo of Eutaw Springs. He was also present at the battles of King's Mountain and Monk's Corner. . He served i under Colonels Horry and Marion, and | was an eve-witness of the sufft?rincra nnrl i death of Col. Lsaac Hayno, of South Carolina, an early victim of the revolution. He is sprightly and active, and would be taken at any time to be a man of middle age. He is a strict member of the Baptist Church, and rides six miles to every regular meeting of his church. Ho has four sons and five daughters, all living; the eldest is now in his 78th year, and the youngest son fifty-one. Such is a brief sketch of this aged soldier and republican, who is, perhaps, the only surviving soldier of Francis Marion, Sumpter and Horry. Tkial of a Slave.?The trial of a girl named Clarissa, the property of Col. W. B. Wilson, took place on Tuesday last She was arraigned on a charge of murdering the child of her master, by administering poison.

Hats and Bearda. Tho controversy about Hats and Beards, like everything else, which gets a start these days, is blest with the ''gift of continuance." It profoundly interests tho Clergy, as their heads and chins have much at stake on the issue. The New York Evangelist lately came out strongly against Kossuth hats and beards. But the New York Observer thinks "if such appendages indicate that the wearer is losing faith in the Five Points of Calvanism, that the Westminster Confession of Faith is done for; nay, even John Calvin himself was, by this rule, no Calvinist, for his beard was long enough to reach to his girdle, and his hat, unlike hid head, was soft." The course of the Evangelist has brought out the Preshvtorisin nf tJin W?af ? - O """V *""" """ ? ? ? ? ^*7 wliicn, though not prepared to rush into Kossuth hats and flowing beards, is yet much surprised, that "opposition to them U made a matter of so ranch ceusoriouness and conscience." It says further that "we renK'inber to have been present at the ordination of a minister, when wo saw for the first time in a church such musical instruments as the great and small fiddles.? The choir was in a large part composed of the Beecher family. The whole impression of the music was to enkindle within us, rs we verily thought, a holy honor. Siuco then, after some thought and investigation, and especially in view of such languge as lit is h good tljing to show forih thy loving kindness every morning, and thy faithfulness every night upon an instrument of ten * strings, upon the psaltery, and the harp of a solemn ssund,' we have concluded not toleave the Word of God and prayer, to per- ^ iecute those who choose to use instruments in worship. At least wo will not charge them with sin for using them, if they will not call u~ sinners, in that we are not dia? posed to use them.
