Hon. A. Bl'rt, Chairman of the Subscription
Committoe, Appointed at the Kansas
meeting on the 4th instant, requests and
urges the Committee to begin at once the
collection of contributions in their respective
neighborhoods, and be readv to meet and
report at Abbeville Court House, on tbe22d
of this month. Time is urgent, nnd our money
ought, without delay, to be ready for
our young citizens who may be desirous of
emigrating to Kansqg. ^.-v ^

A practical attestation of their knowledge

good people of Newberry will give it such
a support as shall inEure long life and prosperity.?The
terms for the tri-weekly are
$3.00 per annum in advance.
Ik the original publication of Col.
Brooks' letter on the Cincinnati Convention,
which we re-published in our last, an
error occurred -which marred rnnnidpruMr
the sense and symmetry of the first paraV,
graph. As printed the lines in which the
roistalce occurred read thus: "Strengthened
^ by repeated conference with others, and by
the two last and gloriouB messages," <kc.
They should read: "Strenghtened by repeated
conferences with leading Southern
gentlemen, and confirmed by the two last
and glorious Messages," &c.
Wr have received, with much pleasure,
the seoond Dumber of the Rising Sun, a
decidedly neat and spirited journal publish*

of the old fogy ism which wo have been in*

Mirror, prevails in Newberry District. It
advocates the representation of the State

For tlie past *ix or seven years, and finding
it always the tame?"instant in season and

work can ever be out of season) ?we entertain
no more doubt of its sincerity than
we do of its ability and constancy. We
are pleased, therefore, to observe, upon the
face of the Day Book, unmi*takeable evidence
of ita growing prosperity, and hope
that it is an earnest of the strengthening

The Weekly Day Book is the size of the
largest claws newspapers, of very superior
typography, nnd is furnished to clubs of
five or more nt one dollar per year! A
Southern man who desires to strengthen
his own cause in the North cannot do
more to that end by the expenditure of so
small a sum than by subscribing for it. It
deserves the sympathy and cordial support
of every Southerner.
As we are not in tbe habit of publishing
voluminous prospectuses of Northern publications,
nor of paying for Yankee
"exchanges'1 by fulsome eulogies of every
one which presents itself, the foregoing
voluntary and unsought tribute to the worth
of a truly worthy journal will at least be
credited with sincerity.

1 deem it my duty, as Chairman of the

Tcmperance.
Mestrs. Editors : As there is a warning
voice in your paper against the great evil of
Intemperance, allow me to notice some of
its effects. That if possible many, may be
induced to forsake it, while others may be
influenced to oppose its desolating tides
1 which threaten to sweep over our country.
And here I would appeal to the experience
of every drunkard in the land for the
truth of tho following.
If by artificial stimulants tho tone of the
stomach is raised above its healthful state,
t when the stimulant is gone, it will sink as
far below. Houce it occurs that intemperate
men, in their intervals of soberness, feel
the aironizincr want of renewed *timiil??n?.i
to bring them up from this depth of trembling
to their Inte high elevation; and hence
they return to tlie bottle as a cure fur the
disease which the liottle baa produced.-?
And from this follows the-long train of diseases
which physicians tell us are the inevt
table and hever-failing consequences of intemperance.
And like Prometheus, whom
the poets fabled as stealing fire from Heaven,
"the drunkard has stolen the liquid fire
from the dominions of Pluto, and has the
Vulcan of disoase gnawing upon his vitals."
Hence many die of the disease denominated
by physicians delirium trement. This reminds
roe of. ap anecdote related of an old
toper, over vrfrom, being found dead, a jury
i of inouest wu fimrmriitelp/l >>? mt lrn?i*.
> ? ?.".v
ing the technical phrase employed, by physicians,
brought in their verdict,. "Died of
the jug Vfiateraper."
But how shall the blighting, withering
influence of this giant of hII evils be described
J. Follow the drunkard to the race
turf, the muster ground, the court yard, or,
if you please, to the grogshop?that gateway
to ruin and death; Behold him while
under the exhilarating influence of the liquid
prison, or, in language from his. own
vocabulary, when about "half-snapped,", or
"well corned" ! He is then a Hercules in
strength jv a Solomon in wisdom, and an
Achilles in courage. /He can sing like a
syren, and dance like a satyre; and*, i^^blk
billingsgate phraseologv/ho can" "knock
dowo and drag out," and, .in the language
of S)H>k5ipeare, he is '-'fit for. treasott,.?tr?t>
egerila ind ! spoils." But I confett * my. lhabiliiyto
sketch a full likepess of 'this noisy
hero?of this famous knight 'of the black
bottle red ^ug.. -At it required the pencil
of an Apelles to paint an Alexander, \w it
r "-3 v M
."'v
ble over her dust,' With a bottle' in hie hand, c
Even on this aide of death, he-teems to seal 1
his own doom, and closes, as jt were, the "
gates of mercy and hope against Jiimseff; r
"ranking a covenant/with death and an a- t
greement with hell,"saying to destruction, c
tliou nrt roy brother, and to the neVer-dying 1
worm, thou art my sister, and to the black- %
nesa of darkness, thou art my habitation j
forever." This is not a picture of the im- f
agination?it is a soU?r and solemn reality. I
When I witness the baneful effects of in- (
temperance on society, I feel like imitating (
Hainelka, who led Hannibal, when eight <
years old, to the altar, and made him swear ^
eternal hatred to the Romans. So t would
1ph<1 mrsnnt tn llm ?! ? ?nJ ? '
? v.?j ww.... <# >uw | ouu iwiino mum
Bwenr eternal and undying hatred to ardent J
spirits.
A very important inquiry presents itself: j
Can the drunkard be reclaimed ? I answer, i
most assuredly lie cnn. Thousands are now *
living who liavo been snatched from the !
drunkard's grave and the drunkard's hell. t
I cunfas, fyr tbo confirmed inebriate, voter- ,
nns in the cause of Bacchus, I entertain but ?
little hope through tlie ngcncy of tamper- '
iihco societies alone. Nothing, no,nothing,
is likely, save the power of Divin' grnce, to t
arrest thein in their downward course in ]
this life to |>overty and disgrace, and in a j
life to come eternal anguish and wo. But '
let them be baptized with the grnco and j
truth of God, and they nro no longer found t
in the filth of their own shame. 4

Remarks of G?n. McOowao,
On the death of Charles A. Thornwell,
t? the House of Hepreteiilativet, December
10, 1855.
Mr. Speaker, I hope the House will parclou
one word more, n? additional testimony
to the worth of the dit-earn!, from another
friend and college claPH-mate.
Mr. Speaker, after the ties of ronsancuin
ity, there is, sir, no sentiment so Btrong, so
lasting, so pure and unalloyed an that of
common brotherhood inspired by' college
associations. It springs up in the heart in
the season of youth?joyous, glowing,genial
youth, when the affections have just budded
into life, fresh and green, and as yet are
unsullied by contact with this rough world.
There is a mystic, union that insensibly
grow* up between young men wlio enter ,
?-oll?*ge ?t the Mine time, sleep in the same '
apartments, ri^e at the same hour, answer to
the s?m? bell, recite to the same professors,
and all the while entertaining common j
hopes and common fears, which is as lasting '
as life itMslf, and, as we have sad proof her** *
to-day, is remembered after death. Indeed '
we scarcely know how strong it is until the '
cold hand of the inexorable destroyer inter- '
vines. , J
But the other day?in 1841?Charles '
Thornwell, tog?dher with a large class, in- J
eluding myself, left the walls of our honored !
Alma Mnter, the cherished institution of
the Slate of South Carolina. II? war grad- *
uated with distinction, and left tlte College J
with the highest hopes and expectation*, as
well as the blessings of his fri?*nds.-[
Like all the others of us?who at that f
lime wore entirely ignorant of what the 1
world really is?he was anxious and indeed *
eager, to enter the lista^and struggle
through the dust and heat of'the Olympic
chariot course of life. At parting we were
sad for a hrief moment, at the remembrance J
of joys past never to return, but the tear ,
was soon wiped away, the breast soon
throbbed with other emotions, and thrilled '

rvents and the current of popular opinion, 1
?manatingin the North and running to the F
inuth, has brought to benr upon lis a force 1
which our people cannot, I suppose, resist. A
pait'al representation at Cincinnati
would be mischievous. It might control :

litch us to a car that might pass over and
