NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The latest news from
London is to Friday evening, the 26th Sept.
There was a rise in the rate of di;count in the
Bank of France; and a further decline in thie
French funds had caused Consols to open heavy.
They closed at a J per cent decline. It was
rumored that the rate of discout in the Bank of
England would be immediately raised to 5 per

NICARAGVA.-In a private letter, received by
the last arrival, from an intelligent friend of ours
in Grenada. we note the following passages:
"Most emphatically, General Walker should
be called the man of silence. He sees every.
thig hears. every thing,; reads everyrthing, and,
if what everybody ays is to be credited, knows
everything-but sayrs nothing.
"Everything is quiet here. Since the execu
tion-.of Salazar, -the -temper of Leon and else
where is somewhat lowered. It is the general
impression here, and 1 think not without foun
dation,.that there will bo~no more fighting within

Delta.
THE N:iiuolDOUEL.--Mr. D. B. Bott', Non
of John Miner Botta, and Roger Prior, Esq.,
who went to Washington to fight a duel about
a card which the former publi..hed about the
latter in retaliation for strictures upon the po
litical course of hi.s noble father, were arrested
" on the ground," near Mr. Blair's residence, and
compelled to return to Richmond. Mr. T. P.
Chesemian the second of Mr. Prior, publishes
the correspondence with a card, showing that
Mr. Botta postp.'ned the tinme later than was
necessary, and that the place of meeting was
known to many people not connected with the
affair, before it was made known to himself. He
says: - Being satisfied from these facts and
others any attempt to secure a hostile meeting
between Mr. B. B. Botts' and Mr. Pryor will be
thwarted by pers'ons not connected with thie
matter, but frietndly to-tho Hon. J. M. Botte, as
also satisfied from the physical condition of Mr,
B. B. Botts, as exhibited on the field, that Mr.
Pryor outght not to shoot at him, I can have not h
ing more to do with the matter, and, giving the
correspondence and these facts to the public,
close my connection with it." This is a rather
ludicrous ending of the affair for the son of the
Virginian abolitionist.
DEATH OF MRS. GENERAL GADNDE.-We
regret to learn through the Charleston News of
the 7th inst., that on the previous evetnitig the
wife of Gen. Gadaden, late Minsister to Mexico,
died in the cit y of Charleston. The News, re
ferring to Mr.'Gadsde n says:-" Distinguished
for her many private virtues, unostentatious in
her charities, emunentlyr pious, blatid in disposi.
tion, and aff'eetionate mn nil her domestic rein.
tions, the deprivation has betn a severe blowv to
him who has to bow to the fiat of fate, but
whose affliction meets with the dccp sorrow of
a large circle of sympathising friends and the
sincers regrets of the entire community."
Fras AT HODGES' DEroT.-The Carolina
Tie learns that a fire occurred at Hodges'
Depot, on the line of the Greenville Rail Road,
on Monday night last, which destroyed a store.
house in which wits deposited groceries and
liquors; loss $2,000. The property was owned
by Messrs. Roberts & Adams, and was not in
sured. The fire is supposed to be the work of
an incendiary. __

The Lecompton Union says that on Wednesday,
the 26th of August, while a party of South

between them, when King fired his rifle at-Wells,
whereupon the lattqr-discharged;a masket at
King, lodging nearly the whole contents in his
body. King lingered until the next day, when
he died, and Wells immediately gave himself up.

Mr. CHAs. L. Duitisox is our legally authorised
Agent to collect and receipt for all monies due this
Office. All persons in anywise indebted will please
hold themselves in readiness to settle up like gen
tlemen, promptly and cherfully.
FINE STOCK~.
Messrs. SULLIVAN & JoussoN are carrying around
a very superior lot of Horses and Mules. They have
purchased, too, with care and judgment j which will
enable them to give good trades.
SPEECH OF HON. JOHN H. SAVAGE.
Our 4hanks are due to the member from Tennessee
for a copy of his manly speech upon Kansas matters.
An Edgefield subscriber also send. a copy of the same
with the request that we print it. But, as much as
wo like the speech and admire the taste which recom
mends it, we have to decline its publication at present;
several long extracts are on hand demanding our at
tention, which must appear first. If we find room
some other time, we will cheerfully lay Mr. SAvAGE's
speech before our readers.
GENERAL QUATTLEBAUM'S ADDRESS.
The proceedings at a dinner In Lexington, District
upon which occasion Gen. QUATrLZBAut delivered
the address of the day, are on file for publication and
will appear next week. The General's speeoh will
be read with Interest in Edgefield, containing (as it
doesi sundry allusions to the District.
THE COURT & JUDGE O'NEALL.
Our Court of Common Pleas progresses with unusu
al dispatch. Judge O'NEALL seems resolved to clear
the docket if possible. His energy and ability increase
with his gray hairs, and evidence him one of the first
Judicial Officers of his day. His Honor was born for
the Law, and would have adorned any bench in any
country. Now sixty-three years of age, he isstill unti
ring in the discharge of his onerous duties and more
than ever, faithful to the almost unerring dictates of
an enlightened judgment. A truer public servant,
South Carolina has c:ever had. He has won, and
wears with veteran propriety, the highest honors of
his calling. When we look upon his venerable mein
,nd frosted locks, it is with regret that we remember
any lightness of comment heretofore made upon his
chatacter and course by the press of his State. May
he be spared many years, still further to enstamp his
usefulness upon the legal annals of South Carolina!
THE DRAMA.
Our Thespian Company have made a most success
ful beginning. Two representations of the "Lady of
Lyons" have sufficed to give the public confidence in
theirabilities to " act well their parts," at lead in
melodramas of that cips. They hope, after a while,
to show themselves'equal to all the requirements of the
Stage, whether in Farce, Comedy or Tragedy. They
richly deserve (and wil receive) a large and liberal en
couragement at the hands of their fellow-citizens of
Edgefield. Seeing that they are sparing no pains or
expense to give universal satisfaction, all friends of
refined amusement abould (and will) help them on to
a series of brilliant successes. The touching play of
"The Stranger" is to be given next, to be followed on
the same evening by " Born to God Luck," TraoNE
Poweza's favorite piece. From wvhat we know of the
cast in both of these plays, a treat may be anticipated.
W' See '"CHILDE CxlLDEaa' " criticism.
ThsOUS AQRICULTUpA SHOW.
ahi's 'ir, it will be seen, is arranged to come 6tf
on Saturday next, in thte Male Academy grounds on
the olutskirts of our village. A mple and well-watered
lots are near, for the accomnodatiun of animals to be
exhibited. For the reception of domestic fabrics,
specimens of garden and field produce, &c., a suitable
department wIll be provided. All whto have anything
at all worth showing are earnestly invited to enter the
lists. If any funds are available, several premiums
will be awarded in the more prominent divisions of
the show. At all events, premiums or not, we hope
to haave a pleasant and useful day of it. May we not
predict that it will be the beginnmng of something good
amongst us I If all will come forward promptly and
spiritedly with whatever they may choose to bring, it
may lead to a really fine exhibition another time.
For one, we challenge the District on pigeons. If any
one can produce twenty pure-white Carriers prettier
tan ourn, they can take the c-age, pigeons and all.
ECLIPSE.
Monday evening last, a beautiful eclipse of the
Moon was visible in this latitude, neurly total at its
utmost and lasting all together over an hour.
THE QUART LICENSE.
Ali have been ctrious to see how the quar t license
would work in our village ; and last week (the first of
Court) was no bad time to test it. At the outset we
thought the thing was going to prove something terri
be. On Monday and Tuesday, we observed more in
toxicated phtysiognomies than had appeared before our
visual organs for many a day. In fact there was a
' general drunk' prevailing. But on Wednesday the
signs negan to change, and by the close of the week
liquor seemed to he flowing again in its usual c-han
nes. Thes present week commenced pretty tmuch as
the preceding one; if anything, the whiskey freshot a
little higher. And still it rises. But it is the elections
that have caused this second overflow. After they are
dne with and Court is ended, perhaps we can estimate
the effeacts of the Quart Ordmnance.more correctly.
As matters stand, Liquor and License are certainly
" Hailfellowswell-met."
THE COLUMBIA TIMES.
We neglected to notice at the proper moment that
this popular sheet las undergone a change of cast (if
we may so speak) withir, the last month. In othier
words, it has laid aside the weapons of political war
fare and donned the garb of an 'Avant Courier' of
News and Intelligence. Situated as the Times is and
ianaged as it will be (and has, beera) by Mr. Barrriou,
it cannot fail to become a more general favorite now
ttan ever. To all who want a real Newos paper, varied'
spicy and instructive, we cordially commend ite Co
lumbia Times as now conducted. The editor prom:
see that nto one, of whatever Southern phase his poli
tics may be, shalt htave cause to grumble. But if be

PERVERSION.
The grossness witha nh ich foreign prints are accus
tomed to pervert items of American news, is sometimes
too provokingly absurd to be read with patience.
From a copy ofihe Lelceatershire Mercury before us we
clip the following statement, presented by that journal
to the British public as oact:
" Messrs. Brooks and Keiti have been re-elected by
their constituencies in South Carolina, to thes seats in
Congress which they resigned on fnding themselves
digraced by the votes of the majortly of the house
declaring them unworthy members."
"On finding themselves disgraced !" Stupid stuEf
SWhar gas ye' the idea, friend of Leicester I From
Bean st's lying Herald, or from Greely's foul-mouthed
Tribune, perhaps. Seek better sources for American
news, we advise thee, if thou wouldet not continually
r eprint slanders ad libels upon thy trans-atlantic
cousins. Brooks and Keitt disgraced ! Why they
never stood so high in the estimation of all good Con.
stitutloonal Republicans, as they did immediately after
the Abolition vets which attempted .to censure tbem
before tihe people of this Union. That sore but made
moe cospicus their personal gellaantry and the
.ta.......araslrasa.
OUR POETICAL WrRATH.
An old and valued contributor re-appears this week,
over the signature of " S. A. L." The breathings of
her. muse are true to the inspirations of the season.
Shall we not now hear from her often! With" S.
A. L.," " Corneille,".' Lir," " Daisy," and " E. W.
R.," on our side, who can be against us t Form
around the arm-chair, ladies, and we'll defy a host.
Godey's self, with all his array, will not be able to
terrify us from the field.
But suffer us to be specific. Will not " S. A. L."
furnish us with a Christmas tale? " Corneille" with
a Sonnet? "Daisy" with a Lyric? " E. W. R."
with a Ballad? and " Lire" with an Epigram?
However, ladies, choose for yourselves. We'll be
only too happy to welcome anything from your grace
ful pens.
Ye are " Our Poetical Wreath !"
" CORNEILLE."
Thus writes our sweet " CoRNEILL," upon send
ing the pretty verses over her signature on this page:
"1I send you as many thanks as my heart enn holi
for yonr gift of " The Three Students." My soul
fires have burned brighter since I read it; but I verily.
believe that I am utterly incapable of an inspiratinn.
A lover at the feet of his lady-fair could not have
been more continuous-more diligent in his addresses.
than I have been in my love-making to the mnon and
the stars, the winds and the clouds. I have besnught
them for a pretty fancy until I am weary of waiting.
Ah! I fear that nothing short of a jaunt. into new
lands, can arouse me from my seat among these ugly
common-places. 0. how I long to behold NiaRgara
tha Alps. and the Eternal City! It cannot be ssid
that we live until we have seen one of these. I sin.
cerely wish that I was blessed with an Ida Pilfer
energy ; though unlike her, if I had a hushand, I
wnild take him along with me in my journeyings
Wouldn't you ?"
There is the tone of a Innging, ambitiots soul in this
brief note, which makes us hope that our fair corres
pnndent may yet be blessed with the privilege of see
ing the great things of earth. By no one, we are very
certain, would that privilege be more feelingly appre
ciated or more beautifully improved. How we should
like to see her enjoy it! Well,'Corneille; as Damao
says to Melnotte, in the Lady of Lyons: "Hope
yet."-By the way, speaking of plays, you must come
and witness the next performance of our Thespians.
The bill is a capital one. Bring every body you can,
too!
. EDITORIAL RESIGNATION.
C. C. PucKZTT, Esqr., has sold the Abbeville Inde
pendent Press, to Messrs. W. A. Lu & Wx. HENRY
WiLsoN. In the last issue of his paper, the editor
takes his leave in terms of gracefulness and feeling.
After a warm recommendation of his successors, he
adds in conclusion:
" Profoundly grateful to my friends for their gener
ous encouragement to me heretofore, with feelings of
unmixed kindness towards those of the editorial pro
fession amongst whom it has been my pride to claim
an humble place, and with a devout prayer for the
peace, honur and safety of our common country, I re
sign my positiun into abler hands."
The Press of the State will most heartily reciprocate
the fraternal farewell of Mr. PUCKETT. We trust his
connection with the Brotherhood has been as useful
and profitable to himself, as it has been agreeable to
his readers and valued by his associates. We beg to
offer him at parting the best wishes of our heart, for
his future success and happiness.
To Messrs. LEE & Wir.soN, we extend, at once, our
greetings, and our sympathies in the arduous labors
before them.
THE CANVASS IN CHARLESTON--COL.
CUNNINGHAM.
The canvass for Congressman in the Charleston
District has latterly undergone a material change
As a result of circumstances connected with the late
duel, the Hon. A. G.231Ao aATn positively withholds
his name from the race; and the contest now lies
between Col. JonN CUNNINGniAM, General JAur."
GADsDEN, and Wx. Puncn~a MIL.Es, Esqr. All
these are gentlemen every way worthy the trust
sought to be conferred upon thtem. Of Col. CUNNiI4G
nsAN, it is our privilege to speak with the confidence
of ani old acquantance and friend. His independence,
his high tone, his talents, his readiness and his intre
pidity eminently qualify him for this post in the pend
ing critical juncture of affairs. In no mani's hands
would the hone-r of South Carolina be safer. In no
mans's keeping would her interest< be more secure. In
no man's zeal would Southern rights find a bolder ad
vocacy. And in the present aspect of matters we do
not think our Charleston friends could elect a more
faithful gepresentahive, or one who would refleet
highe hbnor on his State.
" THE SEASON AND ITS FRUITS."
The above appears among our list of paragraph-cap
tiotts for the current week ; and, althoughi evidently
not put there by outrself, w.e must adhere to the rule
and write up to it.
The season, then, is Atutumnt. (For anything poeti
cal on the subject, reference is asked to all the British
poets from Chaucer to Thomson, inclusive. For its
historical belongings, t'ide Reese's Encyclopedia.
And if it be desirable to find out its astronomical or
atmosphterical peculiaristics, please consult Cavullo
and others who htave dilateJ on those points.)
REAnER .--But its fruits ! What of themi
Enrroa.-WVe cotild easily stop with the remark
that everybody knows it to be the great fruit-bearing
seaso't. But, to particnlarize a few :
There are peas, pindars, persimmons, pertaters,
atnd possums. If that don't suit yont, ask some one
ese. Hold! There is one other class of fruits that
occurs to us--part sweet, part bister--whicht certain
mortals, knowun as candidates, are now abotut to enjoy
in Eudgefield-to wit: Thue Fruits ci Hard Electioneer
ing. How are your appetites, gentlemen !

COMING BACK.
What is there about Edgefield that attaches people
so strongly to the place ? Never a man or woman re
mains here for a twelv-emonth, that there does not
spring up in, his or her heart a desire so hang on, to
life's latter end. And if circumstances cotmpel them
to leave, we are sure to hear of their wishing and
praying to get back again. For instance, now, a
letter lies before tiA from one who left this village a
year or two ago, after having lived here a number of
years. lie sends us $5 for she Bsooxs Dinner and
the following sentiment to hack it: " A South Caro
lina Gentleman--the highest specimen of humanity."
He concludes by saying: " I intend moving back to
Old Edgefteld, choosing rather to weork for my daily
bread among gentlemen than remain where I am and
live tn ease upon the labor of others." And ttus is is
with almost every one who leaves the dear old Caro
lina State. The animus revertendi lurks in some
corner of his heart till death ends its pulsations.
JOKES FROM OLD KNICK.
No I, wvill show how a cute chsapgets out of scrapes :
A tall green sort of a well-dressed fellow, walked
into a Broadway saloon the other day, where they
were talking politics upon a high key, and stretching
himself tup to his full hteighit, exclaimed, in a loud
voice :'W Where are the Denmocrats? Show me a Dem
ocrat, gentlemen, and I'll show you a liar!l' In an
instant a man stood before the noisy ingtiirer, in a
warlike attitude, and exelaimedl: ' I am a Democrat,
Sir!' ' You are ?' ' Yes, Sir, I am!' 'Well, just
you step rounod the corner with me, and I'll shown you
a fellow who said I couldn't fid a Democrat in the
ward ! Ain't he ' a liar,' I shtottld like to know !'
No. 2, is a Camp-Meeting incident, the likeof whtich
occurs mostly ' out west:'
One afternoon (luring ' religious services,'atid while
a ' preacher' was in full blast in the middle of an ex
hortation, a pious-lookirng ' brother' sept up so the
' stand' or pulpit, and after telling the preacher to 'hold
up' for a moment, made the following annotuncement,
in a clear, ringing tone, but with the usual afethodis
tical ' twang:' ' Siuter S~teens is in tent No. 49;
and if brother Roberts is on thc ground, sutE WAyTS
TnE KEY OP itia Trauxx!' Brother Roberts im
mediately arose and proceeded to the tent of sister
Stevens, and the preacher resumed his exhiortations,
as if nothing unusual had happened.
No. 3, is from the ' little people's' department and
hits off a very obvious little truth in a very nice little
way:
A young friend of mitte was engaged in teaching
muses. H~e w as explaining by signs the use and mean
ing of the particle ' dis,' and reqtuested one of them to
write en the black-hoard a sentence showing her
knowledge of the sense of the prefix. A bright little
one inmmediately stepped forward and wrote the fol
lowing: ' Boys love to play, hut girls to die-play.'
No. 4, Is a new subject for " debating 'cieties," and
reads thus:
'Which is the proudest, o girl with herfrlrt beau, or
a mother- with herf jret baby?1
And No. 5, is a hurst of ihneral grief, rare upon the
record, and which the ladies will keenly relish:
A bereaved husband, standing by the open grave of
his deceased wife, 'refusing to be comforted,' said to
a friend, as he turned toward him, and laid his head
on his shoulder: 'il've lost horses, and I've loss cows
-end I've lost likely calves and shoats-but .1 never
heelen hingtha cutme p like ths!' Wasn'uaet

gOO IstE E IG.
Mr. Wu. RoTyatisends us the following account of
cotton-picking done'erently, in one day, on the plant
ation of Maj. G. A. ADDt5ON. It is good for any,part
of the season, and estra good for thislatm period of it
and in such dry weather. Still, Mr. RoTTKN. we
stick to the opinion that tha Cambridge cotton-crop Is
short. This work win done, doubtless, on a field that
happened somehow to be an exception to the general
rule:
Morris...... ..344 lbIs riles.............29 lbs.
Zeke............340 " Dan..........231
Savannah........307 " |Doch.............-22 "
France2..........2y4 " ,Awis ........ 212
Zira.--..--.......244 " !Emma...........202 "
Sylvia........... -........200 lbs.
Total....................2R15 "
This picking was done on Wednesday the 8th inst.,
a hot, dry and windy day, and from sun-rise tosun-set,
with the usnal interval at mid-day. Capital for this
old country! The same day, on the same place, 24
mixed hands picked 4690 lbs.
MUSIC-MAD.
Won't one of the D7. Grsaass, of the Carolinian,
ple-e-ease hurry up to Yorkville and cup brother
MLTON-MLT.Eit right over the musical bumps with
out delay I That 'black band,' we sadly prognosti
cate, will be the death of somebody yet, If a counter
irritation be not speedily effected. Hurry, doctor
(by the way, we had almost forgotten to congratulate
yourself upon the In-coming of the oyster-season)
Hurry, we beseech you, before the ' black band' as
sumes a typhoid character. " Sudden gush of spirit
stirring sounds," " rich flood of precious freight,"
oh, ye " brass-blowing sable melodists," why passed
ye that way, that night?
We can see him now, as he pushes aside the ' kiv

match suddenly grates upon its parent box-a light
fashes upon eyes in ' fine phreny rolling'-the pen is
grasped-another gush of the ' Circus stuff'-he is off
on the express-train of the Effusion Line -
'Ah, dotore!' In pity, hurry!

OUR VILhAGE THEATRICALS.
Ma. EDoToa :-It was my good fortune to be present
at the second presentation on the part of the " Ama
teur Thespian Corps " of Edgefield, of Bulwer's beau
tiful play of the " Lady of Lyonis or Love and Pride."
Thin play is founded on thte well known French tale,
entitled, " The Bellows-Mender," in which the main
incidents of the plot wilt be found ; but the author by
impressing htis genius upon its rude materials, has ren
dered it entirely his own, having made its identity
queite uncertain; he has polished the rough diamond
and adorned it with the richest pearls from the vast
cabintet of literatutre.
Long before the time for the play to commienc,
miight have been seen assembled in the spaciotts llall,
a fair representation of the talent, refinement, fashion,
thenm~y and wit of the entirc District--it being Court
week, many from all parts and sections were piresent.
The soft sweet music of "lBuhler's Band " from Au
gusta, was listened to with an enger ear, by the manay
lovers of harmonious melody, and it was well adapted
to prepare the'mnind and stimulate the feelings for the
proper reception of the renditiomn of thi' p~opular play.
At the anxiuusly awaited signal, the dark green cur
tain arose calmly and slowly, and revealed tu a crowd
ed and admiring audience, Mlademnoisella M. in the
character of " Pauline," languidly reclinting upon a
sofa ; Mrs. G. In " Madame Deschappelles'" se-ated ;
Master B. as " Marian," In rear of " Pauline," pla
cing thte rore " a little more to the left." The rare
personal beauty of these two ladies, heightenedl by their
rich and tnsteftully arranged costumes served to catch
the eye ; thte clear uilter toned voice of the one, and
the low soft flute-like "notes of the other felt in pleas
ing cadences upon the tympatnum of the ear; by their
ease and s'elf-possession, qttickly evincing, that they
had the proper conception of their parts. By their ex
traordlinary combmnation of the three unities, the
mind wasa completely captiv-ated and led to the irresis
tihble conclusion that "there was no such word as
fails "Ott their behalf. The fascinating beauty of
" Madme D." of whom was said,
"Beauity' prtrait becomes more prime,
Touched bythe mellowing hand of tinme,"
was only equalled by tat of " Pauline "-the lbe
witching coque-tte. Thtey thmus early became favorites,
and were throughout the play the cynosure of all eyes.
Dr. E. B. made his appearance in the difficult im
personation of " Besuseant," the gay beau of thec beau
ty of Lyons. He possesses many personal c'aaracter
istics, which aidl him to the successful renderinmg of
his part. Tall, commanding, handsome and graceful,
he assumed with much naturalness the feelings of a
disappointed suitor. Hlis earnest desire of revenge, hit
humiliation of pride, and amnbition-hais proud-bearing
and contemptously curved lip, conveyed well the idea
of one piqued at disappointment. In fact lhe looked,
the perfect embodiment of a regular philosophic wo
man hater.
To Col. S. was assigned the role of " Col. Damas.'
This is one of my favorite characters, and well did the
Col. sustain it. lie acts, as he does every thing else,
par-excellence. He e xhibits upon the stage that uni
versality of genius that enables him to shine brilliant
ly in any sphere. His acting reminded me very mnuch
of that of Hackett. In the fourth and fiftha Acts, the
Col. can not be beaten.
Mr. L. B. as " Glai is" made some decided "hits.'
Hie too, possesses the advantage of floe personal appear
ance. His lively black eye and raven colored locks,
in addition to thte spirit and abandon of his acting,
won the admiration of many a beautiful lady.
I cannot pass on without giving my unqualified ap
proval of the " Landlord," by Mr. R. He played
most admirably-he acts with spirit and earnestness,
and improves rapidly.
I have now reached the third Scene, in 1st. Act,
in which C. W. S. Erq., in the character of the hern
of the play, " Claude Melnotle," makes his debut.
This gent leman posresses without doubt, rare histrion
ic talent. Hie yilayed toithe unanimous admiration el
all present. 1 had expedied much f'rom him from-hear
Ing that, for his own asiusement atnd gratIficatIon of
taste, he haid appeared ujon the regular boat ds of Au
gusta and Mexico. He treads the stege witha a proud
consciousness of his ability to s'ucceed despite all con
tingencies. I have navir witnessed some points that
he made, surpassed by any one. His acting Is i.
fonn.=raneMfa end annmriratand he nvr nstht
taste by over acting. His painting of the scene o
Lake Como, was well conceived and rendered.
"Mlonsieur Dechappelles," by Mr. L. He was dres
zed in elegant taste, his entire black suit became hin
most charmingly-lie acts an old man to perfection
despite of my knowledge that the trunk was modern
I was forced to think that the face was antique.
Again the fair mother and daughter make their up
pearance upon the stage. What breathless silence
You could hear a pin drop-Mrs. G. as 4 Madame D.1
begins with her fine voice, and each word is heard dis
tinctly at the farthest end of the house. Her play
ing in the 4th Act, in which the fan was used witt
such brilliant success, can never be forgotten. She
has a faultless phisique, her step graceful, her bearing
dignified, and her acting superb. The performance o
two parts, exhibits great readiness and versatility o
genius. All eyes are now fixed upon the beautifu
" Pauline," in the 2nd Act. She begins to reveal hei
nature. Without an effort she brings down the housa
in tumultuous applause, and by her unparallelled ac
ting, increased the intensity of the enthusiasm of thI
audience in eachsuccessive act. Iscarce know wheT
to admire her most, as the haughty coquette, or thI
subdued wife-in each she was so fascinating. Hov
vividly do I recollect that inimitable look at " Claude,'
in the 3rd Act. With what pleasure did I gaze upot
that miracle of female beauty, a full-head of hair, a
it hung in graceful folds upon the neck of the troublei
young bride. A pretty lady is never more beautiftu
than when in distress. Mfademoiselle Al., had man1
obstacles to contend with. She had to play in a Ian
guage not her own, to customs and tastes different fron
her first associations-but despite all this, how com
plate was her success. She is a lady of great accom
plishments and undoubted genius.
Looking on the play as a whole, we can conscien
tiously say, that we have seldom seen it equalled
The scenery was fine-the machinery excellent, ant
the management capital, tinder the experienced eye o
Mr. bl. The minor parts were all well performed;
and the music the delight of every one.
At the fall of the curtain in the fifth act, the dle
noument was pronounced to he a most happy one
and every body went home delighted, feeling the
they were under grateful obligations to the Corps, fo
the relief of the evening from the dull monotony an
tedium of village and country life.

Autumn hath unfurled its banner
Stained with carmine, green and gold;
Never did a fairy's sceptre
Mines of beauty thus unfold.
With a brilliant flush the evening
Doth incarnadine the sky,
While the sun his rays are streaming
O'er yon clouds of royal dye.
Rippling, murmuring, goes the brooklet
On its mossy pebbly way,
Like a wearied child it faulters
'Midst its dreamy, listless play.
How like life the changeful seasons
As they in their orbits roll!
Gihdled with a zone as varied
As the tropic to the pole.
Spring comes first in all its freshness,
Strewing every path with flowers ;
Like the fleeting cares of childhood .
Come anon its mists anid showers.
Summer time like sturdy manahood
High in purpose, strong in hope,
Faints not tho' with storms and tempests
ie must in hi's valor cope.
A utumn then with thought and feeling
Calmly reads the chiequered past;
Now it hatils the glad revealitig
Of the mercies o'er us east.
Mellow as old wine the bous,
Which are speeding on tjieir way ! 9
Quivering in their fleeting glory
Are they fading day by day.
Now the Winter is upon us,
Now the silver'd erown has come ;
And the good mnan meekly bending
Hieks him to his long sought home.

Beams a IHcaven be' ond the tomib.

Nine-six Depot.
LETTER FROM IION. JOHN McQUEEN.
PzrnwooD COTT-AGE, near Ilennetaville,
Sept. 29th, 1856.
Gentlemen :--I had the honor to receive your kin
invitation to the Brooks 96 Dinner on the 3rd proximi
and would be greatly more thtan gratified, were it:i
my power to be present, as well to contribute my miu
in doing honour to your distinguished Representativr
as to form the acquaintance and enjoy the well-knowa
hospitality of his generous constituents ; but I am d<
nied the pleasure by circumstances too urgent to I
well overcome. A fter an absence of nearly 10 month
at Washington, with a recent excursion among a po
tion of my friends and constit~ents, I am but for a fe'
days at home, where [ find a large proportion of a
fields swept by a freshtet, and my private interestsgrea
ly impaired ; I must therefore, deny myself the plea
ure, I would otherwise so highly enjoy. Well nme
you, however, thus do honour to your Representativ<
who has triumphantly sustained and vindicated yet
honour, with a head, a heart, and a hand, that shoul
not only endear him to you and to his State, buti
every Southron, whose impulses are true to the mean
ry of his ancestors, and to the land that gave li
birth.
When his Stale, and hisavenerable anddiastinguisht
relative, than whom, no nobler spirit, or truer hear
ever adorned the counsels of our once happy confede
acy ; were ruthlessly assailed with an assassin-Ill
sander, at the hand. of a crazy and libellous fanatil
your Representative at the right time, in the rigi
place, and in the right maner, administered to hit
an argument, the only kind in any judgment, that wi
now avail against impudent, arrogant and mad fanat
ism, that regards no truth, no right, no justice,
honour, no law or compact; And when the fairsbAe
fan..ial fry and reflame wase kindled uarddhil
at the hands of an unscrupulous majority, and the
shaft or personal insult was feebly attempted to be
hurled at him, he meet it with a firmness,and repelled
it with apromptness that would do honour toa Roman,
as they wellentitle him to the admiration of every one
who is at all endowed with true feelings of manliness;
the duty could have fallen in no better hands.
We have arrived at a period in the afiurs of this
Republic as portentous as it is trying and insulting
to the South, and those, even, who do not wish to,
may as well understand it. Abolition has loomedup
with a progress and rapidity, recently, that those of
i us who were most apprehensive, were scarcely pre
pared to witness. It is now strong and arrogant
enough, to control the most numerous branch of Con
gres., to elect a speaker who would not decide wheth
er we, or our negroes are the superior race-to clog the
wheels of the Federal Government, at will-to en
gage in open rebellion and war, and murder our friends
for daring to claim equality in the Territories purcha
sed with our money and our blood, and more than all#
to nominate an ordinary Lieutenark of the army for
President of the United States, without even desiring
or asking the co-operation of a single Southern State,
with the determination, to subdue the South below the
condition of a province, to destroy her honour and
i rights, and ultimately, to reduce us to equality with
i our slaves. and authorize them to claim, (as now by
Law in Massachusetts,) to associate in our families
and marry our children. If they succeed In this elec
tion, I trust all will agree with me that the Union is
dissolved and ought to be dissolved, for there can no
longer be union of interest, of right, of property, of
sentiment, of hononr or equality, and the election of
Freemont will proclaim it to the world. Should Buch
anan be elected, the Union may survive for a time, and
possibly be preserved, provided Democrats he Demo
crats and Statesmen, maintain their position and ad
minister the Government according to their professions
and the Constitution, and look. much less, teoffices
and plunder. In my judgement the year 1860, in any
event, will settle the matter, and I think it our duty to
await the result of the pending election-watch sell
the signs of the times, and be prepared to act as be.
comes men capable of appreciating their rights and
honour, and with the spirit to maintain them at any
I and every cost. If forced by the North into a South.
ern Confederacy, I have no gloomyapprehensions eith
er for our honour, our happiness or the Institution of
slavery. Indeed in view of the fate of the Roman
Republic and the history of our own Government to
the present moment, I am doubting more and more,
that a Republic can well exist without the institution
of slavery. A very large proportion of the North con
stitutes now but a mad fanatical rabble, with all the
wicked isins of which man can conceive-repudiating
God, the Bible, the law, marital rights or the constitu
tion, and if it were not for the extraordinary extent of
territory in which their wickedness may be diluted,
and the conservatism of the South, they would ere
this, have been consumed by the infernal fires of their
own abominations. Truly may it be said of them,
(with all proper honourable exceptions) " those whom
God would destroy, he first makes mad," but I am
admonished, I must close this already too protracted
letter. Allow me to offer the following sentiment:
The South, the beloved South; she will never be re
duced to the condition of Massachusetts as long as the
example of Col. Ba ooss is in the memory of her sons.
Please accept for yourselves and through you, for
those you represent, my grateful acknowledgments for
your kind invitation.
I have the honor to be
Your ob't Serv't,
