this country concludes one c?i" liis recent com-;
municutions to the Southern Press tinder the j
signature of ' A'Xoi them nam and a friend to |
the I'nion" with t!:is s-f 1. tun and emphatic war I
, ning:
"i have lived almost fourscore years, I have
passed through every grade of life, from that
of a poor boy, self-educated and self-dependant
to a station among the highest ot the laud
which I attained without the sacrifice of my
4 independence.
"During the whole of this pilgrimage, I have
been from habit and inclination conversant
with books, and have thus added to the experience
of a long life the lessons of the past; and
from this experience, and those lessons, I am
? - -1
inevitably brought to the conviction mat toe ;
people of tin*. South have now nothing to depend
on for thiir future safety but united action in
self-defence. IIy this they w ill preserve themselves
and the Lnion. Ail other hopes are idle '
all other expedients but daggers turned againsK
their own bosoms. They nmst assert tfreir own i
lights, and protect themselves, for they have '
110 oilier protectors. The brand of fanaticism .
is applied to the homes of the people, and must |
be quenched now or never. Time teas? line i
?but time will soon be no more."
,Vr. Webster's Lcltrr to Mr. Hufsnnnn ?
British view of it.? \ supplement to the Liverpool
Journal, of the 18th nit., devotes a c0
lnmn to the recent correspondence between .Mr.
Flulsemann, the Austrian Minister at Washington*
and the American Secretary of State.1
Aftdr giving an outli.13 of the controversy,
including several extracts from Mr. Webster's'
letter, the Journal winds np as follows:
"In this way the republic is practising the
phraseology in which, hy-and by, she is to die
tate to despotism, and cheer on, every where, 1
the friends of civilization, truth and. freedom.
In this diplomatic 'set to,' however, Mr. Webster
has the best side of the argument,. for he
lias 'the law on his side,' while there is a fresh- !
ness about Lis courtesy that surprises and!
tdeascs. Congress was delighted with the man- !
| W ?
linyss of toe Foreign Secretary, and it seems :
the unwelcome laughter Mr. ilulscniati's m.t s
excited, reached jhe attentive ears of the Rep- I
resentatives of Russia and Austria, both of j
whom were in the House."
This letter from Mr. Webster lias also at-,
tracted the attention of the Paris press. The!
Monarchical Journals are annoyed that the i
Senate laughed at the threats of Austria, ami, i
not knowing what to say, they" attack "the '
low^b reeding of the American Democracy." !
A Paris correspondent says that Mr. Webster |
has done himself great honor, in the American :
opinion there, by tbe decided stand he has
taken on this occasion, ? lialtimorc Sun.

The following paragraph extracted from the
report exhibits the progress thus far made in
this important work:
"On that portion of tiie iioad extending I ruin
Nashville to the Tennessee Iliver, a di-tance of
123 1-2 miles, two thirds of the graduation ami 1

structure have been delivered on some twenty
miles, nearest to Nashville. O.i sum live or!
six miles the timbers have been laid down ami ,
the iron rails are now being laid on the track.
You will see from the Itepoit of the Chief Kugineer,
that the grading of about l'oiiv three |

R v.n ni"e. in 'leal Life. ? A scene took place
one evening in the Camp Elysees, almost unrivalled
in the annals of romance. Tlie tenor
Borsai i, win) has had a most magnificent success,
and i" Italy in particular, lias taken advantiigu
of a conge to visit Paris, fie was
walking under the trees in the Champs Elysees,
near the Seine, when he caught sight of
an old man, neatly dressed, dragging forth
from an old fid Jle some faint sounds, to which
none listened. Ilossari started, struck his
hand upon his forehead to collect hi? thoughts,
and then leaving the ladies, rushed up to the
poor musician;
'Kcco mi: it's me,' said he in a raging voice,
't he old mau raised his head in astonish
inviit.
'Don't you recognise me, G'iacomo? Iain
Hnsari, your pupil, he to whom you opened^up
the musical career, lie who ows to you hi3 reputa'ion
and his fortune.' I
'fiosaril' said the violinist. 'Ah! now f* remember.
Vou have fulfilled my predictions;
you have collected gold and tame. 1 am
pleased at it in the midst of my misfortunes.'
'.My poor master, what has reduced you to !
tins extremity!'
"The man told his history. He hud been an
impresario. He had at the head of a troop of
singers, gone through the Isles of Greece; hut
misfortune had every where been his fate. After
a miraculous escape from shipwreck, he
got sick. Incompletely cured, he came to
Paris to ail old pupil, a lady, who wa3 kind to
him, hut who suJdenly died. Giacotno then
went to the orchestra of u little theatre, but at
last, reduced to the last extremity, he came to
play in the Champ Elysees. While the old
man spoke, Besari was feeling his pockets.?
All lie found was a couple of pounds. Suddenly
he took a hold resolution.
'Giacomo, do you recollect the great air of

'Can you execute the accompaniment?'
'Somehow,' ??.
'Begin.'
At mice, in a singing, splendid voice, Bosari
commenced this magnilicent piece. A crowd
collected?the singing cafes were deserted ?
the carriages drew up and a fashionable audience
descended from tbem. At the siglit of
such an audience the old man roused himself;
his how, directed by a tirm hand, drew forth
delicious sounds. The audience were struck
with admiration, and the setting sun seemed to
transport every one to Italy.

LONGEVITY OF HUMAN LIFE.
We tiud in a late number of La Presse, the
following curious calculations on the durability
of human life:
The distinguished savant of Berlin, the Professor
Caspar, has lately been making some I
curious calculations on the longevity of |
human life as arl'ected by riches and poverty.!
He has taken for the basis of his calculations j
the two extremes of the social ladder. Oa the j
Mine side, lOJi) persons belonging to the royal J
and ducal lamiiies of ( erinany, extracted from j
liie "Alumnae of Gotha," and on the othtfr, I
I'rnm 100 paupers of lJeilin, i;icribf?l on tlie 1
workhouse books, and the dates of whose decease
was certified by tlie local registers. The '
result shows on 10UU rich and poor, those re-!
maining alive at the ago of

From these tallies wo find that tho chances
of longevity are twice as considerable for tlie
rieli as for the poor, since at the age of 70, for
instance, there are twice the number of rich
alive as poor on a number originally equal,
while at tSo years of age there are three times
the number,1 ami at *00 almost four times.

Southern Enterprise.
It is gratifying, and must l>e so to every friend :
of the South, to see the growing enterprise, and '
daily increasing disposition among our people to 1
industrial pursuits, a vast improvement is Ik ing :
made in every department of the arts, sciences, I
and mechanics: a striking and prominent fea'ure |
of internal improvement and growing enterprise, j
I is the rapidity with which Rail Roads are b - n ; j
constructed, intersecting every part ol our coun- !
try. Soon wiil the lofty mountain peak and the :
seaboard be brought into close proximity, and j
whilst it may he that there is still much room for i
improvemeu, twe are proud of these substantial
and useful evidences of onr growing impor- |
tance. W hat, we ask, would S.vutli Carolina and .
Georgia b?, without llieir Rail Road.-*? mere pig- 1
mics, compared to other Staler which loom up as j
giant pillars supporting the magnificent structure |
upon which our glorious Government is based. :
Georgia particularly, among the Southern .S'tafps,
has the banner for he.r numerous works of internal
improvement and enterprise. We regret that
she does not occupy that position in the iin/e important
enterprise cf Southern Rights. We hope !
Georgia will yet come right.
We observe among the prominent enfpi prises
of our State, that Steam Mills are Iv.iug erectpd j
in different parts?projects, among others, of
which we.'JiPartily approve. Indeed, we are j
even glad to see a way side improvement of any }
kind, even a hlackmihli simp, a shoe shop, a tan J
yard, or c\ni two blades of grass where but one ,
grew before?this to our minds is the strongest
possible proof of our growing improvement : and
why should it not he so? because the proper efforts
have never been made in the right way.
Talk now of old customs and manners, and a ;
man appears obsolete?b< hind the age. There ;
are yet, vast improvements to he made in our
.State and country, and the sooner we commence,'
the better.
Wit tvnvA rofAimil o iiir flot'c tt'ifli a Kinlc. '
eye view of the newly erected Sieatn Saw Mill of j
Capt. V; D. V. Jamison, of Orangeburg, it is again
in successful operation, and we hope nny so continue.
It will be rcc illected, that about a year ago
his Mill was burned, re-built, and burned again.
This is the third time that Cap'. J. has erected his
mill, and hecertainly exhibits by his energy and deterininatbran
enterprising spirit that challci g s;
our highest admiration. We have no doubt the mill ^
is a source ot profit, or will prove so in lime. We <
regard every dollar of capital so invested as that j
much in safe hands?which will be paid back j
when required with large interest.
Many persons to have met with the ill luck
which seems to have been Mr. Jamison's fate,
would have relinquished the enterprise in despair i
and given it up as a bad job?not so with him ; j
every one who lia^the pleasure of his ncquain-1
tance, knows full well he is not the man for that;!
whatever cause he espouses, has in htm a warm,1
able and devoted friend,he is a strong Southerner,,
and exhibits his devotion to tlie interests of his |
State, in a way which will do more good than a
thousand ranting stumpers, or tons of paper gos.
Mr. Jamison has also engaged in manufactur- j
ing Turpentine, and has ample arrangements for j
prosecuting this branch of Southern enterprise I
we believe, 011 a large scale. He is acting well j
his nart in the croat drama of life, and we must !
be excused, should we betray ourselves into error,
by recommending in unmeasured terms, the
spirit of Southern enterprise and true independence,
exhibited so prominently by Mr. Jamison.
Such things as these will do us more real good
than the sword. If our peoplo would have their
rights, they can get them, and that too, without
fighting with powder and ball, to us a glorious
thought. Let us engage in eutcrprizes which
promise to do so much towards building up our
independence, establishing a glorious Southern
Confederacy upon a sure and permanent basis,
and rodown to the perpetuity and'advancement
of our own peculiar privileges and immunities.
Live within ourselves?it can be doue, or at least
independent of the North, become manufacturing
States: these are arguments \^hich cannot be
controverted and means to make ns independent
of time-serving politicians and treacherous demagogues.
If war becomes necessary, the moans
of our defence are at hand. We may then "meet
the enemy, and they shall bo ours." - .

The Bible?Commanding us to Secede.
It i> true?start nor?and'tola plain command. ?
Read the first five verb's of St, Paul's Epistje to
Time thy. - ,
1. Le t as nvny sorvatifa ns aro nnder the i
yoke count their own masters wnrthy of all
honor, tiuit the name of God and his doctrino
be not blasphemed.
Thus reads the first verse?and it gives Honor
to .Vasters. The North calls Masters dishonoral?'e,
and thereby bia-pheme theuameof Gdd and
I.is Joctrine. <*
tl. And thej that have Wlieving masters, let
them not despise them, because they are brethren;
hut rather do them service, because they
are faithful and beloved partakers of tliu.beqeiit.
These things tench and exhort. j
3. If any man teach otherwise and consent
tint to wholesome words, even the words of
our Lord Jesus Chris!, and to the doctrine ,
which is accouiing to godliness,
4. He is proud, know ing nothing, but doting
about questions and ettiles of words, whereof
coinetli envy, strif.', railing,'evil sumiising's,
5. lVrver>e (iisputiugs of men nfcbrrttyt
minds, and destitute of truth, supposing^ that
grin is godliness?from such withdraw thyself. ^

Messrs. Editors: Lest my silence pending
the canvass and election of Delegates to the
State Convention may he misconstrued, I desire
briefly to explain ; that having been absent
in Mississippi for nearly two months past, I
received no intimation that I had been nominated
till within ei??ht davs of the election?too
Into for a communication to reach Camden in
time for publication. Had I been earlier apprized
of it, out of deference to the friends who |
made the nomination, I would promptly hare j
responded to, and accepted it, though ! preferred
that m}- native District should, at she has <loary j
elect Delegates older and wiser than I ana, nnd ]
in all respects qualified to discharge with hony
and advantage to their constituents, the anta- J
ous and responsible duties which will devolve
upon them. Respectfully, i
Your ob'tjprv't, 1
