We informed him that we had not heard of it, but that our list of subscribers was still steadily increasing. He replied that he had only heard it surmised, and that it had caused him to determine to become one of our subscribers—that he had felt that he was too poor, but was now deter mined to subscribe “ at all hazards.” He expressed himself in favor of early se cession on the part of South Carolina— of drawing the line, as he expressed it, and seeing who were our friends.

I believe there are those who seeing this gallant hero’s fatewould encounter it. Such, however, I do not believe will will he the form of the con test It w ill las a war of dollars and emits --‘■a war of Custom Houses—and em bargoes or of blockade. It may be that the latter w ill in the first instance be resorted to—that is the Federal Gov- Caroluia as a stranger, and to place her commerce going into the ports of the States in the Union under an em- ! hargo, and so for as concerns Georgia and North Carolina to regard as ports of entry, those places only which com municate by water with the ocean such as Savannah and Wilmington. That Government might not establish ports at Augusta and Charlotte, or the North Carolina line ; under this view, com merce could come into Charleston, but how could it get out without the pro- cess of smuggling? At the interior points indicated, it could not w ithout smuggling. I then put the pro|>osition, would capitalists import goods into Charleston in op|M>sition to the Federal Government under the suppoaition that they could make a profit on them through the operations of thrifty smug gling t But in a commercial war the State might be disused to take all advantages and it might be to the in terest of Georgia and North Carolina to have ports of entry at Augusta and near Charlotte. What then? Could goods pay ten per in Charleston and forty at these places—in competion with a trade through Savannah and Wilmington pay ing a duty of thirty or forty percent?— Certainly not 1 will not dwell on tliis view of the subject any longer as I do my friends the justice to say that they have a much higher aim—one whose dignity of purpose may give their movements a different character- To move with the first view alone would lie to make tho State submit to some thing more than a vain sacrifice. She would not have the consolation of blind Metellus, who lost his eyes in going through the flames of the temple to save the Palladium. Her fate would not only be self-destruction, but it w ould be a sacrifice to build the interest of new rivals. Those who really look to the end oftliis hegining. take the step with this view-to induce other States, by the prosperous and successful exampls of South Car oliua, to come into conjunction with her. Or to place them in such circum stances, that having a common destiny, they would be cumpelled to be invoiv ed in making common sacrifice. I will not notice the first part of the proposi tion. The latter presents the subject in its great magnitude, not unconnec ted with cpnsiderations of the deepest delicacy. "To force a Sovereign State to take a position agaist its content, is its ties for a time maybe more powerful 4 than true interest* of the country. I cannot hut believe that in Georgia its ernmeut would resort to the agency and influence of a Macedonian party. South Carolina would l»e driven to re ly on Eumi>en support and connections to sustain her. To the extent of her exports, she might form direct commer cial intercours.

When Clark, Twiggs, Jackson, and others, fought the battle of Hanging Rock, Musgrove Mills and Blark Sleeks they did not even think for a moment that they were fighting on the soil of South Carolina. And when Gert'Pickens carried his men to Kettle Creek and fought the hattls onthc soil of Georgia, he did not think of the Carolina in all s«v.mnnh »■ n Hividinir line. The situation, I mm they do so, is the question. This is an ago more of utilitarian sagacity than romantic honor. My opinion is, that w ith all our confidence in Great Uritian, wo should not trust to her protection, sooner than to those of our own fami ly of neighboring States.

It is expected that the proceediugs will possess unusual interest, and we hope the members and citizens will attend punctually. THE FOURTH OF JULY. As this anniversary is approaching, we take the liberty of suggesting that it is time some preparation should be made to celebrate the day in accordance with the immemorial usage of the place. Jagf" We invite attention to the inter esting agricultural communication on our outside to-day. We are glad that the in telligent farmers of our District are taking an interest in that important department. We are always happy to receive such contributions. RAIL ROADS. Our worthy correspondent “Ac tion,” who sent us a communication for our last number, on the subject of a con nection biupul road from Cheraw to some point on tne Wilmington and Manchester rail road, might we think have suggested a continuation of the branch to Wades- boro or Salisbury. There is no scheme better calculated to link the Southern States together, in bonds of indissoluble friendship than a connection by rail roads, and may we not hope that after the com pletion of the several roads now in pro gress, which are to grapple the old North State to us with hooks of steel, that much of the prejudice which has been excited among her people, against us by the Fa yetteville Observer el id omne'genus, will disappear forever. A SAD CASUALTY. We have been pained to learn that Sumner W. Arnold, Esq., formerly a practising lawyer in this village, but re cently of Alabama, was drowned on Thursday last in Pee Dee river, not far below Mars Blutf. The circumstances of the case were not known, but it was sup posed that he was drowned in attempting to swim the river. His clothing was found on the bank. The deceased was one of the unfortunate victims of intem perance, who with talents which might have secured him an eminent position in society, has gone down “unwept, un honored and unsung.” disinterested in the threatened contest TheyNiave my regard and shall not find me or tltose that I can influence, against them. 1 have no political as pirations beyond South Carolina.— Called upon as one of her counsellors to give my opinion, I have done so with freedom and sincerity.

And lot not her friends and neighbors look on and see her sac rificed for manteining a cause to which they themselves stand pledged, and which they will have to maintain. It is in vain to disguise the fact, that the present form of our Government can not be preserved. Its perversions are gross—its operations are partial.— There must lie a radical reform, ®r there must be new organ! Those who attempt to prop it crumbling Compromises and “JOT TIE PEOPLE” Wife ari urging secession!” say the submisHMsts and their organs. Our ob servations on die matter have convinced us that the feeling which is urging the Slate on to secession with rail road speed, is not confined to any particular class or sex. We have heard the necessity of the step urged in the palaces of the weal thy, and the humble cottages of the poor; by the learned and the illiterate; by tho politician, who is ever on the alert to find out the sentiments of the “ people,” and by the sunburnt yeoman, whose honest countenance, plain garb and habits of life, all bespeak ^im devoid of political as pirations; by the grave matron, as she surveyed with pride her group of boys, who were soon to grow up and take their PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. Casting our mental vision back only a few centuries into the history of the past, we see a few apparently forlorn and hope less adventurers, buffeted by the storms of an unknown and tempestuous ocean, making their way to this then inhospita ble land, where the war whoop of the savage and the fierce howl of wild beasts were almost the only sounds that saluted the ear. They came through difficulties and dangers that might well have appaU ed the stoutest hearts—and all for what? That they and their posterity might enjoy that freedom of opinion and action that even-handed justice which the reckless majority of a consolidated government had denied them at home. They came —they saw—they conquered for them selves a quiet home in this country, but the hand of tyranny, which never ceases to oppress the weak while it may doit with safety, pursued them even here, and years of submission and remonstrance and concession failed to stay the mad waves *f tyranny, until the colonies rose up and under the lead of Massachusetts, which threw the tea overboard, whose port was blockaded, and whose citizens were slaughtered, (as we are now threa tened) after seven years of almost incon ceivable suffering and privation, through walls of fire and seas of blood, secured for themselves a free and independent government. The brave men of that day who through so much tribulation had se cured their liberties, knew how to prize them. The men of Georgia and the men of Massachusetts, then regarded each other as brothers—they knew no distinctions—they felt no heart-burnings. But in an evil hour the question of Afri can slavery was made a political ques tion this was the apple of discord which is likely to prove as disastrous to this R.r public as the golden prize contended for by the goddesses did to ancient Troy this was the opening of Pandora’s box. and the letting loose upon the body politic a host of evils, the extent of which the fu ture alone can reveal. The ball was opened in Congress, by the admission of Missouri, under auspices that alarmed the political prophets of the South. Jef ferson said it fell upon his ear like a fire- bell in the night, but the South, in the ex ercise of that love for the Union, that un suspecting magnanimity for which her chivalrous sonsare world-renowned, com promised her rights, and thus established a precedent for all time to come. Her magnanimity has been mistaken for ig norance, her love of the Union for cow- ardice—she has been called on again and again to yield up her rights—she has giv en back until she is fairly driven to the wall; a more unblushing wrong and in sult than that she recently received in tho passage of that bill of abominations, called the compromise, has never been perpetrated with impunity on a people pretending to be independent. Her pre sent position is still that of Sampson un shorn, but Delilah stands by the slumber ing hero, with her shears adjusted, and like him, unless she soon awakes, will be shorn of her strength; and like him, in attempting to free herself froAicr ene mies, will be crushed beneathjH crum bling fabric of the temple of our liberties. Much ot the trouble which looms like a •pectre in the future has been hastened by defection in the ranks of her own eons, who owe to her their birth and their hon or*.

If we cannot go Forth m tho cause associated with those who have led us, by their conduct until tho last hour, to imagine them confederates, why then let us assume the responsibility ourselves, and go forth alone.
