and all they possess are depending on the
issue—I can answer for one in the affir
mative, that there is not one of that dele
gation, that would involve one of their
citizens, or property, in a difficulty.
The whole intention of that delegation
is to secure our rights of property,
and place us iroin under the power of
the Abolitionists of the North, who have
bi'en annoying us for a number of years,
and have brought us to this great confusion
of spirit among ourselves. Now I say let
us come out, and let us show them who
are the true resistance men, who intend
the conduetor, he endorsing their tickets
in such a way as to enable them to show
to the general agent in New York, that
they had paid double price on that road.
I have not learned whether or not their
money was refunded. I found the great

I expected, in point splendor, business,
bustle and noise. Indeed, I think from

its crowded thoroughtares, that it well de

NEWSPAPER* CHANGES.
The proprietors ol the Anderson Ga
zette have sold out to J. W. Harrison,
Esq., the Editor, who continues to con
duct it with ability and courtesy, advoca
ting co-operation if possible, but secession
rather than submission.
The Sumter Banner has come out in
opposition to secession. W. T B
Hayusworth, Esq., the former editor,
retires with the liest wishes, we believe,
of the entire press of the whole Niate.—
Ho is succeeded by John T. (Jkeen, Esq.,
who advocates co-operation as the only
sure remedy for past grievances. We
welcome him into the ranks.
John B. LaBokdk, Esq., has taken
charge of the editorial department of the
Marion Star. We congratulate the rea
ders of the Star in having secured the
sorvices of one so able as true and we be
lieve MV. LaBorde to be.
The Palmetto Flag, a new secession
paper, has born issued in Charleston, by

And that is this, come out boldly for
Secession, as it is the only true way
to obtain co-operation—and it seems that
co-operation, is very desirable—but,seces
sion preferrab'e to submission. That
tale has never been told yet on the sons
of South Carolina, and I honestly hope
that it will never be told, while South
Carolina affords as many fine and brilliant
young men, as she does at this time )
who are able to stand up in the
defence of their rights and liberties, as j
freemen, to protect their old Fathers, who 1
are not able to protect themselves, or i
their mothers who have sup|>orted,
nourished aiuicherished them, and who
have taught them that their fore fathers
handed down to them liberty, and freedom, i
and tkfflt they should ever remember, and
cherish those principles—which were so
the whole city may be obtained. From
the number of monuments it contains.
Baltimore has been called the Monumen
tal City. The highest and most imposing j
of these is the Washington, which is a
noble specimen of architecture, both in
design and execution. It is situated on j
a lofty eminence 100 feet above tide-wa- ;
ter, and towers far above the city, con- |
stituting one of its principal embellish
ments, and a conspicuous landmark to
seamen and travellers. It is 180 feet in
heieht, and is ascended by a winding
staircase of 200 steps. The ascent is so
dark as to require to lie lighted by a lamp.
Froni its giddy height I saw Baltimore,
and much of the surrounding country.
This city is situated on uneven ground,
which gives to it a gently undulating ap-
ually rising.

There are other monuments in Baltimore,

the Jail.&c. Home of the churches, also,
are distinguisned for architectural beauty
and elegance. The CatholiivCathedral
is one of the noblest structures of its

churches here; the State of Maryland

fathers. I am happy to hear that there is
a great change in old Marboro, in favour '
of .Southern Rights. I thought 1 knew
her sons too well to believe that they ever
would knuckle down to Federal Aggres
sions. I knew that her sons had some of the
revolutionary blood left in them yet, that
ifthey were cut down, that they would rise
and go at it again, like the heroes of,
seventy-six, did when they were battling ,
at Lexiugtion and Bunkers Hill, to throw
off the Bnuah Yoke. Old Marlboro has
always been right side up—standing up
like her noble little Elate, democratic, pa
triotic, watching over her rights and liber-
tias. Now let mo say to you as one who

After taking a look in transitu at the
city, I left there at 8 o’clock on the even
ing of the 22d inst., on the Philadelphia
rail road. Though the face of nature
was shrouded in Cimmerian darkness, the
time did not pass heavily away, for the
interior of the cars was lighted up with
bright lamps and cheerful countenances.
Many Southerners, were on board, who,
as you know, are not noted for bashful-
nessor for being averse to “scraping ac
quaintance” while travelling. I formed
the acquaintance <ff several North Caro
linians, who, with a friend from South
Carolina and myself, “vexed with mirth
the drowsy ear of night,” nearly the
whole, distance from Baltimore to Phila
delphia ; they were a jolly, whole-souled
set of fellows.

occurred on the care between the con
ductor and a number of passengers, in
which my friends were implicated, and
which I tetVed at one time would result
in something serious. The circumstances
were these: many of the passengers
had purchased tickets in Baltimore, to
New Yortt, which the conductor on the
New Jersey rail road, refused to take, al
leging that they wgre spurious, and re-
J imred tltorrf to pay the regular passage

who seemed delighted with the perform

the Cuban revolution; large meetings
have been held several successive nights,
and much sympathy is manifested in the
cause of the patriots. A fugitive slave
from Columbia, 8. C., was arrested a few
days since in Poughkeepsie, in this State,
and brought to this city. He is to appear

Dear J.; I now write in full view of
tiie great Falls of Niagara, and almost
amjdst the spray of the thundering cata
ract. Our travelling party, consisting of
Mr. H. and lady, of North Carolina, and
Mrs. G. and Miss M., of South Carolina,
arrived here on yesterday, and took lodg
ings at the Clifton House, on the Canadi
an aide of the river. We came down
from Buffalo by the Niagara river, on
the steamer Emerald, and were landed
at Chippewa, in Upper Canada. This
little village, you win recollect, is noted as
as the scene of a sanguinary battle in the
war of 1813. You cannot conceive of
the anxious curiosity which I felt aa I ap
proached the Falls, to see that great
anomaly of nature which annually draws
so many pilgrims from every ]>ortioii of
the globe, to view and wonder at its un
described and indescribable beauty and
grandeur. The trip from Buffalo to this
E lare is made by the steamer in about an
our and a half; the distance is about 22
milea. It is a delightful excursion, and
is well calculated to prepare the viaitor
for the magnificent scene which awaits
him. Buffalo ie situated on Lake Erie,
where it empties into the Niagara river.
It is a large and handsome city, contain

proceeded to our hotel, settled our bill,
