EDGEFIELD C. 11 THtURst)AY. AUGUST 6, 1840. We have now coImenced the 27th Number of our paper, and take this opportunity, as a boy writing a letter would say, to infovrn our pa trons, young and old, rich and poor. male and female. and all without exception. that we re quire, their assistance. In plain words, WE WANT MONEY! Bread is the staff of life, but monev is the soul of business, and we can not go on without it. We earnestly tequest all our friends who are indebted to ns, for ad vertising. job-work or subscription, to pay us that we may pay others. Six months of the present. volume, have now elapsed and many have not yet complied with our terms. If they will pay us shortly. we will not enforce a rigid exaction or our published ternis; but if they do not. weshall be compelted to resort to this step. 'Many have not paid us for years; some have never paid us a copper, and probabl nerer trill. We again entreat all such. to hand us the several amounts which they owe us. otherwise we may inflict npon then, the most sumnary pumshinent- we may erase their namesfrom our subscription book. We teturn our heart-relt thanks to all those who have paid us promptly either inadvaice. or a short time after the coin meneement of the volume. A thousand thanks and a thousand 3ears of life. to all these good fellows. By such. mir era't flonrisheth. May they increase and multiply on this goodly earth. We ca!l attetion to the followiig extract frotn a letter written by the Post Master General: "A Postmaster may enclose money to 'he Publisher of a Newspaper. to pay the sub scription of a third person, and Frank the letter if written by himsrlf." Whenever a pav ent for subscription is made. it will he acknowledged in our paper. within a short time aft-rwards. If we stould inadvertently neglect to (o so, we beg our pa trons, to remind us of it. We are reqnested to state that Mr. Palnwr will deliver a lecture on Tenperance. iii the Baptist Meeting ilonse oif this place, tiis eve ning at early candle-light. The community are invited to attend. We are indebted to the llon. F. W. Pickens for a copy of the speech of Mr. Clay, of Ala., on the motion of Mr. Roanie, to print 20,000 copies of the Report of the Connittee on the 31ilitia. Congress adjourned on the 21st tilt., agreca. bly to resolution. A pretty present.-We have received from a lady in this place, some peaches of a delicious flavor. We tender to her our thanks for this appropriate present. We love a generous and a cheerful giver, especially, one of the gentler Sex. Rain.-A great deal of rain has iilen in this District. within a few days past. We fear that that the low ground corn and cotton crops will be mtuch injured. Judge Ilarper.-At the celebration of the 4th of July at Winshorough. Jire Harper ex pressed his unwillingness for South Carolina to take part in the coining Presidential elertion. The Judge however. is in favor of the Sub Treasury. The WVhigs continually charge Mir. Van Bluren wvithm being the fruend oif a proteitive TarifY. Ilow thent, does it happen. that none of the leading administration papers advocate this measure ? We have seen it stated. that no Democratic press is now in favor of it. This fact is snfficient to prove the falsity of the charge. At a late Whig celehration in North Carolina 31r. Culpepper formierly a member of Congress, and a friend of Gen. IHarrison, biasted of the able Cabinet which he (Culpepper) could form of such men as Webster, Clay. andI Preeton. Hie and Generahi-Harr-ison are welcome to sutch Feidera!ists as Webster and Clay, and the errat ic Mir. Preston if their party succeed. The Pran'deg pricilege.-None hav-e coim plained more than the Whxigs. of th~e ahne~e of the frankmgz privilege, yet none have sitnied more thtan they. It is a well known fecet, that WVhig-memnbers of Cesngress, hnve endiorsedl electiotneering pamphlets as "Public Doc melnts," and sent them by nail, all over lie country. The Staten Islander says, that the "Execntive Commiitee coitposed of Whig membets of Congress at Washington, amiong other parcels, sent by mail, five copies of a pamphlet of sixteen pages. (mnakiing eighty pages,) entitled "a sketch of the life and <ervi ces of Wmt. Henry Iharrison." &c., dire-cted to said paper. This parcel wase marked "Puliic Docuenut.'' Iere, is an abnse of thme frakintr privilege, of the most fl.cgrant chiaracter-. Yet the imnmactulate men wvho perpetrate such enor tnities, have the hardihood to comiplain tmost loudly of their opponents! Th'ie WVhigs have actually tmade theo great dhis covery, that Mir. Van Buren was ait a hall in Albany, whilst Gen Ilarrison somme hundred miles distant, was gainitng at glorious victory. Wonderful discovery. truly ! They chinekle greatly, at the anties which little Van was play ing with the fair girls of New York. while their redonbtable Captain was fightiing, or rather see ing other men fight. Weull!I There is another thing wvhich they have tnot iimntioned. Genx. Ilarr-ison was snughy lodgeid out hisa farmi in Ohio, ottt oftk.'r reach of rannon bls. anid saufi from all the privations anrd hiaz-ards oft watr fare, whlils t Generail ,Jackson wais hiatuling for the liberties of the coutntry.

H is remains were taken from Nice, where lie died, to Gerroa, his nmive place. Mail Route from Charleston to Memphis on the Assissippi.-T te Charleston Mer eury rsays, '' e understand arrangements are inr prorress. for putting into immediate operation. a mail route from Churleston via the Ilanburrg and Georgia R.
