queways that were left—fled in terror
before this blazing, frightful apparition,
and to tliii day they believe that the
white men were guided and assisted by
a supernatural being at the fight of
“Indian Hole.”
Coshattc lived but a few honrs after
the battle. His body, ns well as that
of the Indian girl, was taken some
three miles from Uie Creek, and laid
side by side at the edge of the prairie
—his M ar-club and knife being placed
with him—and a strong enclosure of
young trees and brush built around
them, which can be seen to this day.
The fate of Coshatte the brave, and
Keleotuo the “ m ild flower,” forms the
legend of Indian Hole!

We clip the following story from
ihe Ashvlllc News;
It is said that once upon a time, a
young man, of very limited means, com
menced merchandizing. Soon after he
commenced he became desperately
smitten with a young lady, the daugh
ter of a rich merchant. He wooed and
won. Hut the prudent papa was not
so easily gained. Hu calculated the
chances, and knowing the young man's
circumstances, thought that the pou-er-
ful competition he had in business,
would make a wreck ofhis mercantile
prospects. Ho therefore declined the
favor of the young gentleman in oft'er-
ing to become his son-in-law.
The youngster, though rejected by
the father, was not discarded by the
the daughter, who gave him reason to
hope that in process of time all would
be well. The young man applied him
self assiduously to business—advertised
extensively, and thus secured a store
allways full of customers, both from
town and the “region round about.”—
the old traders—who had always mon
opolized the business of the place, and
who expected it to flow into their hands
as a thing of course, without any effort
on their part were dumb-foundered.—
They could not comprehend how it
was thaj the new beginner had mana
ged to bewitch the people for his store
was always crowded, and his goods
went off like “hot cakes,” andofeourse
money came in after the same fash
ion.
True to his “flame,” the young man
applied to the old merchant a second
lift'
time for the band of his daughter.—
Things had worked,” and he’ gained
the father’s consent, on one condition :
that he would tell him the sccrtl of his
success in business. This he agreed
to do on the night of his marriage.—
The day rolled around, ns days are apt
to do,—the guests had assembled, and
were all anxiety,for somehow it had
been noised abroad that the happy
bridegroom w as to reveal the magic
talisman that had unlocked to him the
door of fortune. The long faced par
son bad pronounced them man and
wife, and now all are gathered around
the supper table, when "the secret /”

standing close by his new made son-in-

bridegrom, addressing those nearest
hin, ‘1 have no magic with which todraw

A LyxciiED.—We leant
that a gambler of the name of William
son, suffered the penalties of Lynch law
at Hickman, a few days since, at the
hands of the passengers of the steamer
St. Paul. It appears that a party of re
turned Californians started for St.
Louis on the boat from New-Orleana,
but as the boat was about leaving port
a police officer came on board, and
cautioned the passengers to beware of
gamblers and pickpockets during the
trip, at the same time informing them
that several of the fraternity were on
the boat. This made the Californians
extremely cautious and wary of the
approaches of their fellow'-passengers.

we can learn, the contemplated im

as will render this establishment second

Another Cuban Expedition.—
From several vagne circumstances, it
would appear that another expedition
is thought of against Cuba. The
Hon. Mr Fitch, while discussing the
Presidential question in the House of
Reprentatives the other day, said :—
“If another invasion be made, as it will
be, would it be proper that the adminis
tration of the Government should he
continued in the hands of those who
now control it I” We notice also that
Capb H. Robinson, who fought at Bue
na Vista, and subsequently left Cincin
nati to join the Lopez Expedition, was
arrested on the 2d inst. by the U. S.
Marshall, and taken to Columbus, un
der suspicion of being connected with
another similar expedition.
MESSRS. RHET?7m CLEMEVS..
Not having received our Northern
papers last evening, we have not the
continuation of the debate between
Senators Rhett and Clemens. We clip
the following account of the second
day’s debate from the Washington let
ter of the Charleston Courier:
Mr. Clemens continued his speech,
and, in allusion to the personal remarks
which he had made yesterday, stated
that he should retract nothing that he
had said. He continued, in defence of
his course on the Compromise ques
tion, to argne that it was one thing to
oppose the enactment of laws, and an-
I other to resist them after they were
made, and that the latter was treason.
He declared that the Democratic par
ty of the South was true to the Union,
and explained the circumstances ofhis
election ns Senator from Alabama, in
reply to the charge that be had obtain
ed it by a pledge to support General
, Taylor.
Mr. Rhett, in his rejoinder, said that
the Senator’s course in reply to him
was just such as he had expected; one
who had wantonly committed an in
sult would, he knew, when convicted
| of it, aggravate the offence. It was
very clear to him (Mr. Rhett) what his
course, as a man of the world, ought
to be. If governed by the code of
honor, he must fight, but for the last
twenty years he had professed the re
ligion of Christ, and was governed by
its precepts. Mr. R. proceeded
mass became loosened from tlio main
body of the rock, and settled perpen
dicularly about eight feet where it now
stands, an enormous column two bun
dles feet high, by the dimensions na
med above. It is most probable that
this column will also fall when the
weather becomes warmer. The seve
rity of the winter, and the long con
tinuance of the intense cold, have pao-
dneed these results. They are splen
did exhibitions of the'slow, persevering,
resistless power of the venerable, white-
haired Mr. John Frost. By his free
zing process he disengaged these great
masses of rock from the kindred stra
tum, then held them in his cold hand
until the genial South wind induced
him to relax his hold, and they were
precipitated into the chasm below.

Gen. Harllee, the President of the WiJ.

the meeting. Col. Wilson, as he had
said on previous occasions, was an ar

ties of social and commercial intercourse.
Gen. Harllee was one of the originators
of the Cheraw and Darlington Rail Road,
had assisted in getting the charter, but
circumstances had changed, the North
eastern road was likely to injure the Wil
mington and Manchester Road, and al
though he would interpose no obstruc
tion to the construction of the Cheraw
and Darlington road, with which it was
intended to connect,be could do nothing
for it. His duty to those who had com
mitted their interest to him, as President
of the Wilmington and Manchester ( road,
would forbid it. His Honor, the presi

room, Gen. Harllee concluded his re

submitted to the meeting by Capt. IVm.

Resolred, That this meeting is gratified
to see the interest manifested here and
elsewhere in the construction of the Che

it as the harbinger of better days tor the
District of Darlington.
Resolted, As the opinion of this meet-
imr, that the construction of said road, if Then as l watch (hw , from afart

the convenience and prosperity of our
District, and should receive the aid and
co-operation of all its citizens.
Resolved, As the sense of this meeting,
that the location of said road should tie

TO HER I LOVE.
Again I fly to thee, to thee return,
Whoso image still remembered brings to
me
Joys unspoken, hopes that burn
While gathering slow the ceaseless flow
Of goading fears that constant meet,
And* rushing o’er that hallowed seat,
Disturbs the heart’s harmonious glow.
Lovely being, thou hast heard
The voice of love that fondly spoke:
O! lias that voice yet deeply stirr’d
Emotions time shall ne’er revoke—
Call'd forth some feeling of delight—
An interest growing gently dear—
Or kindled love’s own halo bright
Within thy heart’s unsullied sphere?
Than all that earth can yield or heaven
give,
Of joy, of hope, of perfect bliss.
In ihy memory let me fondly live,
I ask no richer boon than this.
Let me dwell beneath the light.

Wlwse tender beams have bless’d my sieht
And taught my heart the voiceless sigh.

in this respect; and declared that his
religious scruples should not prevent
him from performing his duties here,
nor from maintaining his opinions and
rights. “ Before whom of you,” ex
claimed Mr. Rhett, “ have I quailed ?
Let any of you answer.”
Mr. Rhett proceeded at some length
to review and enlarge upon the topics
of his first speech in reply to Mr. Cle
mens. It was only n' few days ago.
he said, that he had obtained a copy of
the speech delivered in his absence by
Mr. Clemens; and he found there a
passage, which he had read, stating
that his (Mr. R.’s) speech had been ap
plauded and cheered by those who
were associated with him in knavery
and treachery—Chase, Hale, and Sum
ner. This statement was utterly un
true, and was insulting to him, and he
had repelled it. [Mr. Clemens here
rose and explained that every one could
see that this passage conveyer] no charge
of knavery and treachery upon Mr.
Rhett, that was not applied also to the
other three Senators—to whom he had
not the least thought of applying it.]
Mr. Rhett continued, and said that ev
ery man of common sense must see
that this was intended vs a charge
against him, or it had no meaning at all.
Mr. Rhett took occasion to show
that he could not commit any treason
hv maintaining the laws and rights of
South Carolina, to which State he ow-
ed allegiance. It was those who main
tained the principles and measures of

RAILROAD MEETING AT DARLINGTON
C. H.
On Tuesday of the present week, his
Honor Judge Whitner, by special request,
adjourned court at an earlier hour than
usual, for the purpose of giving an op
portunity to the citizens of this District
to hold a meeting, according to previous
appointment, on the subject of the Che
raw and Darlington Railroad. The meet
ing Mras organized by appointing Rev.
John Culpeper, Chairman, and J. H. Nor-1
wood, Secretary. The Chairman ex- j
tended an invitation for speeches or pro-.
positions on the subject of the above
road, and no one rising, Major Macfarlan
of Cheraw, President of the Anson Plank
Road Company, was called out, and al
though he as id he was not prepared to
make a railroad speech, yet *ntertahied
the audience for rome time with a most
sensible and appropriate address on the
subject, fie considered it a subject emi-
nently utilitarian; he thought there was
nothing ethereal about it; it was s mat
ter of dollars and cents. It was inrpor-
tant for the people on the west side of the
Pee Dee to build this road—if it was not
doiw a road would be built on the east
side of Pee Dee, from some point on the
same to Marion C. H., and we would be

TRADING WITH SLAVES.
The following is the presentment of the
Grand Jury of Charleston District, re
ferred to in the presentment of the Grand
Jury of this District:
The airirravated character of certain
cases, which have come before the Grand
Jury, relating to the unlawful traffic with
slaves, by unprincipled white men, and
the seduction of them into crimes and
practices calculated to destroy them, and
despoil their owners, as well as the noto
rious evils arising from such tampering
of whites with negroes, induce this Grand
Jury to present as a notorious nuisance,
this kind of self degradation of white
men below the level of the most degra
ded negro.
The evil is so great, aud augmenting
so rapidly, that either these men must be
put down, or we must give up our sys
tem of servitude in the Parishes of St.
Philip? and St. Michaels. The laws must
lie enforced, or we shall soon be overrun
by a lazy, drunken and pilfering set of
slaves, ever ready to second the schemes
of depredation contrived by those who
night and day are continually plotting
against the peace and security of the
people. Immense profits are made in
this city by unlawful gain in trading with
negroes. No vigilance or care can coun
teract or defeat that insidiousness which
in the persons of our own domestics per
vades our inmost recesses, watches the
unguarded moments of housekeepers,
and under the securities of domestic con
fidence continually preys upon whatever
the illicit dealer will buy. The remedy is
to be found in destroying the class who
thus interfere between the slave and the
owner or employer, to the detriment of
the latter, by directing against them the
severest penalties. Such men should not
be allowed to exercise the privilege ac
corded to law-abiding citizens. Any one
who has ever been convicted of unlaw-
fnl trafficing with, harboring or keeping
gambling establishments for slaves,
should be deprived forever of the right
of suffrage, the holding of any office of
honor or profit, civil or military, and the
jury regard it as a great moral evil that
such characters should be found some
times sitting in judgment in our courts
on the lives and property of our citizens.
We would urge earnestly upon the Leg
islature of our Slate the adoption of such
measures as will put an end to this evil.

to have been the work of an incen
