I?yy?? W??? From the Southern Press, -\ ; J3T It seems from the following communication, that the people of South CaroGna- are 60 old-fashioned as to be disgusted at the difference between -modern professional and practical philanthropy. They are not keeping Up with the inarch of mind : Messrs. Editors *?1 hat yonr readers may know the baseless pretensions and pseudo philanthropy of some of those who would wage an * exterminating war against the institutions of the South, it becomes fnv duty to request, in behalf of the board of commissioners of the poor for Kershaw district, South Carolina, a place in yonr columns for the following: John C. Vaughan, who has of late become conspicuous as the mouthpiece of Abolitionism and Kossuthism, was once a resident of our town, (Camden) and the owner of some thirty or forty negro slaves. He sold them probably in the West, put the money in his pocket, and moved to Ohio. He then became a rabid Abo litionist, and an editor ot an Aoonuomsi paper. His mother owned a negro woman in this place, who hired out herself and became responsible to the mistress for the money. After Mrs. Vaughan moved to Ohio to live with her son John, from thirty to fifty dollars per year, for many years, were regularly remitted to her by the negro woman, (or the agent,) as her wages. The old woman became at length very infirm and helpless, which e\entually terminated in mental derangement. The old creature was reduced to extreme destitution, and much physical suffering. Her mistress, about two years ago, was lost on the ill-fated steamer Orlinc St. John, which was burnt up on the Alabama river. With that unfortunate boat disappeared, it seems, the last hope of help for old Cilia, from her owners. Such was her pitiable condition about this time, that the municipal authorities of Camden, placed her in jail, as well to prevent her from doing sotoe injury to herself and others, as for support. At a meeting of the commissioners of the poor, held in November, 1850, the following resolution was adopted: u Resolved, That the Secretary be diredted to address a letter to J. C. Vaughan, Esq., informing him that his negro woman Cilia, has from anre and other causes become unable to support ?: herself and for some months past, has lived on I the charities of the community; and request him to attend to her wants, or arrangements would be made to ^Ind her on to him, where he could give her his personal attention." The secretary communicated the resolution to Mr. V., but no reply was ever received. At the meeting of the commissioners held the next j month, (December) the secretary was directed to ' address him another letter, informing him again, that the above resolution had been adopted by the board, and that unless be replied by the 20th day of January ensuing, it would be carried into effect, and the circvmstances published in the papers. At a meeting held in February, 1851, the secretary reported that he had received a letter from J. C. Vaughan, requesting him to employ some one to take eharge of his wo- I man Cilia, and upon ascertaining the expense, he i would remit the money forthwith. After con- ' siderable effort to procure for her a comfortable 1 home, the secretary succeeded in making arrange- j ments with the Lunatic Asylum of Columbia, ! to keep her for $100 per annum, in advance. < Mr. V. was informed of the arrangement, and ! i was requested to forward the money. No reply 1 was received, and after the lapse of some months 1 another letter was written to him. Up to this time Mr. V. has not thought proper to answer. The woman is still in the Camden jail, infirm 1 and deranged, at a cost to the town of seventy- j five dollars per year. At the Last meeting of j the board, held in February 1852, it was unan iraously resolved to publish a statement of these : facts in the Southern Press at Washington city, and the New York Herald. The gentlemen who compose this board are responsible men, and some of them are personally acquainted with Mr. V. The commissioners ' think it due to this community, to the Southern States, and to the institution of slavery, to ex-: pose to the world the bold pretence and shameful recreancy to duty of one who has made " no | small stir," as a philanthropist, elsewhere, with j his matricidal arm raised to thrust the deadly blow to the institutions of his native State. He 1 may be rioting in means, the proceeds of the , sale of negroes inherited from others, while all his pecuniary consequence, so far as known here, : was derived from African slavery. He has turn- j ed a bitter enemy to the institution, a wild fanat-1 ic, with the " price of blood in his pocket." If he is honest in his late conversion to the cause of human liberty, let him disgorge the funds taken from the South, at least so much as will pay the necessary expenses of old Cilia It j is hard, very hard, for the South to bear all the | taunts and insults heaped upon her by the un- I principled Abolitionists of the North and North- i west; but it is insupportable, indeed?'the most unkind cut of all,' for the oppressed South? j to be taxed with the support of the old, abandoned, ' worn-out Rlaves of those who in their zeal to i abuse us, forget their own duties and moral obligations. Old Cilia has ceased to remit annually from thirty to fifty dollars, the proceeds of her hire, i And this philanthropist of a hot-bed growth is very dull to hear the calls of charity and of du- j tv in this direction, when $100 i>er year are re-1 quired to keep comfortable a helpless negro woman, worn out in the service of his family. The coldest stoic recognizes the obligation to maintain and render comfortable a horse, even a dog, grown old under his father's or mother's care, much more a favorite domestic. It is sincerely hoped, that amid the important engagements of Mr. V. in connection with political conventions, Abolitionism and Kossuthismt he may findjiine to recall to mind a lesson rhe must have learned, in his youth in South Carolina, that "charity begins at home." To prevent any imputation being laid to the generally esteemed and much lamented mother of Mr. V., who was on her way to this place to spend the remnant of her days, when the dreadful catastrophe occurred, it is but justice to say that she had not imbibed the feelings of her son, but, notwithstanding, possessed more real philanthropy, and always treated her servant Cilia with great kindness; and had she lived, an exposition of these facts would not have been necessary. \VM.

Post Omcz EstabUshment.?The first mail route on this side of the Adlantie was put in operation by the colony of New York/ Governor Lovelace having established, in 1672, *4 post to go monthly between New York city and Boston and back." The colony of Massachusetts created the first post office, the General Court having, in 1677, appointed John Hay ward, " the scrivener," at Boston, " to take in letters and convey them ac cording to their direction." In 1711, the mails ran between Boston and Maine once a week, and once a fornight from Connecticut and New York. In 1717, there was a weekly route from Boston as far South as Williamsburg, Virginia, and in 1727, a fortnightly one between Philadelphia and Annapolis. Sixty-three years later, in 1790, "the post roads in the United States did not exceed in length one thousand miles, consisting of a long zig zag route from Wiseassct in Maine, via. the principal towns on the Atlantic sea-board, to Savannah, in Georgia, with a few connecting cross posts, on no portion of which was the mail conveyed oftener than tri-weekly, and on pait of it but once a fortnight. The entire annual cost of the service was $22,702. The number of post offices was seventy-five, and theirgross yield $37,395 per annum." At the |>eriod referred to, there were but ten offices yielding a revenue of over $1,000 per annum, viz: Philadelphia, New-York, Boston, Baltimore, Richmond, Petersburg, Alexandria, Fredericksburgh, Norfolk and Charleston. The amazing rapidity with which the post office system has advanced to its present state, is shown by the fact that in 1851, or only about sixty years subsequent to the date last mentioned, the length of routes in operation was 166,290 miles, the annual cost of transportation thereon, $3,421,754; the revenue of the Department, $0,785,498; and the number of officers, $19,604. The department has on its registers over 6,000 mail routes and nearly as many mail contractors. Only twenty-five years ago the boot of a single coach sufficed for any mail leaving our principal cities. Now, at New York, Washington, and other of our commercial towns, they amount to several tons each day. Hokridlf Destruction of two Children bt their Mother?Thomaston, Ga., March 12.? On Saturday last the citizens of Upson county had a forcible illustration of the indispensable necessity of well-endowed Lunatic Asylums. A respectable lady, by the name of Magnan, about two months ago attempted to commit suicide, in a fit of insanity, by cutting her throat; but recovering from the effects of tiie wound, she remained in a mental condition, sometimes better, and * ' ? Cnfnr/lor l?icf cIlA KUIIJfLI IIltT?) uuiii uatuiuar nK-v, w..v was supposed to be better than usual. On that day taking her four little children, the eldest being about live or six years of age, she went to Potter's Mill-pond, about three miles distant, and plunged them all in, intending to drown herself. Fortunately, a young man by the name of Alfred Wilson, (who deserves a great deal of credit,) was fishing at a considerable distance, and w a attracted bv the cries of the children. lie hastened to their assistance, and heroically plunged into the water, which was very deep, and succeeded in saving the lives of two of the cliilJren, recovering the dead body of the third, and rescuing the unhappy woman. All attempts to find the body of the smallest child were fruitless.?Macoii Telegraph. Oi'r California "Boys."?A letter has been received in this place, we understand, from Mr. Richard Saultcr. who in company with some twenty others, left this place for the land of gold ?oine weeks since. Mr. S. stat** that "the boys'' are all welL, awaiting transportation from the Isthmus to San Francisco. There are 4 or 5000 others in the same predicament. He winds up with the remark that if he was in Athens again he would not start to California for ten thousand dollars! The Cassvillc Standard of last week eon tains an extract of a letter from a young man formerly of that place, saying "for Cod's sake, tell the people of Georgia not to come here." The Mountain Signal of a late date has a letter from Mr. Whclchel, a gentleman of the strictest integrity, beseeching his countrymen to remain at home. And yet, in view of all this and a thousand other reasons that might be mentioned, there arc hundreds ol young men, who are at.d might continue useful members of society at home, dissatisfied with their lot, and anxiously watching for an opportunity to go to California! It seems they will not bo warned "even though one should rise from the dead."?Aiken* Go. Jferohl. Bloody Affray in Kkstocky?Bcvkiiai.

Nothing is said as to the origin of the affray, excejit that as the IfilIn arrived opposite the house, they were fired on and Itiissell Ilill killed. The account in the Courier then gfx!s on and to say: "The Hills then charged upon the house ,and Isaiah Ilill was killed juntas lie was getting over the fence. The door of the house was forced hy the remaining Hitls, and the fight continued with short arms, and bowio knives. John Kellers was shot hy a son of Isaiah Hills, (twelve or fourteen years of age,) and fell and expired after having received five other shots through the head. Wm.

Direct Trade. Propositions have been made for holding a general Southern Convention of Farmers, Merchants and Planters, for the purpose of hastening the accomplishment of Direct Trade with foreign couniries, by the people of the South. We acknowledge a perfect abhorrence for all Southem Conventions, for the term is only indicative of humbugging, since the general caving in of the South. We are, nevertheless, ready to advocate any measure having the least semblance of feasibility, which is likely to awaken interest upon this important subject. If such a Southern Commercial Convention as is urged can do any good, let it be held, and let all classes, trades and professions be represented therein. Non-Intercourse with the Northern States would Yr um'ianm if imnnimitv nt the Soiltll IIfC uui uu ) neon iuuu?u*V| ? g - vailed to any extent. Unfortunately there is no concert of action, und co-operative aid is Utopian from beginning to end. The patriotism of Southern, as well as Northern men, lie in thoir pockets, and to move the one, you must touch the other. If schemes can be invented by which tuen may bo convinced that it is to their irUere.it to support Southern eo'tnraerco and enterprise, there will be fouud no difficulty in effecting all which may be desired. We have littlo confidence in patriotism. As an abstract proposition now-a-days, it implies but littlo, and is one of those things we reud of hear of, but seldom see. Where ono man is found who is really willing to pay a fraction higher for Southern productions, a thousand may bo found who regard such an individual as mad?a fanatic. This is patriotism, with a vengeauce! Wo subjoin the following extracts found in our oxchanges, on the subject of tho proposed Convention, which wo take pleasure in placing before our readers: Such an assemblage we believe would do more i towards hastening the accomplishment of this | great purjmHO than any thing else that could be conceived of. It is a scheme too gigantic to bo effected now by a few mercantile leagues, or by t lie single arm of either one of our seaport cities. The Northern competition would moat surely crush audi an unsupported effort. If effected at all it must l?o done through the united effort of the entire South. From the tone of the press and the general interest every where manifested on the subject, we Itclieve that such a combination of strength can be secured and the Southern States be brought into the adoption of some definite plan of action. By bringing the producer in half the battle is fought, and a closer feeling is esiablished iM'twccn these two great classes of community. The farmer and planter will go home with a more t horough knowledge of the subject and a more perfect view of its importance, and will diffuse it. through his neighbors, and thus the merchant and capitalist will be encouraged and the people every where committed in truth to the great question of direct trade." Nothing cun Ixi clearer than that "the intervention of a third party" in carrying between two nations their resju'etive productions "must operate a tax upon the exchanges between them." How or in what way the means could best bo raised and the efforts of interested parties most effectively concentrated to bring alx>ut an extensive and lucrative direct trade with other nations, wo do not. propose to show. That would be a part of the legitimate business of the Convention should one lxdiold. We may warmly iu favor of the proposition to hold it believing as we do that such direct trade would tend vastly to dovelope the resources of tho South and accumulate and retain wealth in our section of tho Union. We doubt whether merchants in flje interior, would confine their purchases to Southern ports until they could make them?all things considered as cheap as in Northern ports. The object of a direct trade would be to confine as much trade at the South as possible. Doubtless, patriotism would impel many, if not all Southern merchants in the outset of this great scheme, to pay a little | more for their supplies than they would have to pay in New York and other Northern cities.? It would certainly be good policy to do so if the result in a reasonable time would be the substitution in the South of as good and cheap markets as could be found in other sections. The incidental advantages of a direct trade would be immense. The shipping necessary for it would be built at the South. Machine shops, foundaries and ship yards would be established on a large scale at appropriate places and call inthorn mfltoriftls and mechanical skill. The existence of wealth tends to create it and every dollar kept in our midst by the direct interchange of our productions for those of other countries, would be that much added to our permanent wealth. We would be less prosperous to the amouut paid a third party to convey them between us. Independent of the ordinary advantages of a direct trade under existing circumstances, we must look to the opening iumre. mat mvues to energy and activity in the business of direct exportation and importation. In a few years the trade across the Isthmus, will be of a magnitude scarcely dreamed of now. Nature seems to have united the Northern and Southern con tinents by a narrow strip of land as if for the express purpose of permitting a convenient cross ing place from ocean to ocean. It would bo a reproach to Southern cities to permit trade from the Pacific to pass by them to great distauces for want of suitable and accommodating markets in them. The South is not altogether depandent upon Europe for its foreign trade. The whole of South America, besides the Pacific trade, is open to her enterprise. Some of the countries of America arc blessed by nature with the most magnificent rivers, which flow for thousands of miles through land whose fertility is not equaled by that of the Valley of the Nile. Millions of in Rnizil and in other countries of that sec tiou, not even yet explored, are equal to the best lands in the Valley of the Mississippi, and much of it is far superior. The richest products of the soil are obtained there with but little labor, nature having endowed it with a fruitfulncss a true account of which seems to border on the extravagancies of fiction. In many parts within the tropics, and particularly under the Equatorial line, perpetual summer reigns with its ever producing and genial power. There the leaves never fall, and fruits grow and ripen upon trees whose foliage never change its beautiful hues. It is better for the South to arouse at a late period than not at all. With the bright prospects before her, there is every reason for her to act promptly and vigorously on this important question. We hope the press generally will favor the proposition to hold a Southern Commercial Convention. Lying. This is one of the most detestable of vices, and tends to disturb the very foundation on which society is based. It destroys confidence, without which, there can be no social intercourse on terras affording any satisfaction, or productive of any good. It is a vice from which every noble mind instinctively recoils; and whero it exists, it demonstrates a most lamentable want of moral rectitude, and tends to put an end to all confidence in the individual who is the subject Of so gross a vice. This sad moral stain, begins like other sins, and like thera increases by repetition, grows by indulgence, strengthens with its growth, and finally ends in making a most hateful character. Persons guilty of this vile habit, are oftentimes not aware to what extent they indulge in it; they have been so long in the habit of distorting trut h, of embellishing their narratives with the production of their fincy, of "drawing upon their imagination for facts,1' that it has become second nature, and they are unconscious to what a degree tlicy are deviating from truth. This makes it so much the worse and renders all expectation of amendment in such cases, altogether hopeless. How wise is the admonition, "let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these, comctli of evil." Washington was never greater, than on one occasion, when a disobedience to the commands of his mother had caused tho death of a favorite young horse, be frankly confessed his fault. How docs it raako the bosom thrill, to witness the frank confession of a fault, while the countenanco is an index to tho honesty of tho soul. No mntter how brilliant tho talents, how improved tho intellect, whero a lovo of truth does not characterize tho individual. A lovo of Truth lies at the loundation ot all excellence?there can be no virtuo in any character whore thin priceless gem is wanting. * * Ono effect of Kosuth's "starring," says a Vienna letter of the 11th ult, is that Hungary is almost hermetically scaled against Kuglish and Americans.
