Saturday, November 8,18.1?
With a view of accommodating our Su
rcriber* who live at a distance, the following
gentlemen arc authorized and requested to
itctaa agents in receiving and forwarding Sub
cripton* to th? Kxowick Couhikr, vis:
Maj. W. 8. OatsiiAU, at West Union.
Howard Huukks, Esq., " Horse Shoe.

T J. Wiiia, for Anderson District.
The poople of our district will remember
that on next Monday Col Orr will j
address them on the great questions !
which are agitating the Union from 1
one extremity to the other, and which !
bear so especially, not only upon the j
peace and prosperity, but upon the
lionorand independence of the South.
In this hour of tribulation, when
Ihrough the deep darkness of the
present men descry a deeper darkness
to come, it is not only necessary I
that everyone should be apprized of J
(lie extent ol his danger, but that all
should be informed as to their duties
and organized and prepared to discharge
them as becomes the sons of
ree and honorable sires. It is necessary
that the people sould be number
2d, that every man should be known, j
for there are cowards and traitors;
miongst us, men of dark and wicked
hearts, who go about day and
light to deceive the people. In troujled
times there are always to be
oiirid ?noh wnrtrore nf iiiinmtir mnn
,vho, like the foul spirits of superstition,
lie hid in secret and silent places
when the earth rejoices in the
iflad light of the sun, and who, like
hem, when the night is dark, anc'
ve tremble for fear, come boldly out
o howl with the howling storm*,
nen who council submission to op)ression,
and who cry 'peace! peace!'
rvhen they know there is no peace.
We are requested tosaytothe
jeople of this District, that an effort
>viil be made to form a Southern
[lights Association for Pickens Disrict
at this place on Monday next.
The objects of such associations are
VPil kr.r.wn In lw? Mlir* In nrn- I
note the union of the South, and to
)rgani7.e the people for the purpose
)f securing systematic and effecttial
esistance.'
Such organizations as these are by
io means new or peculiar to our
State alone; they are the creatures
>fdangerous times, called into being
>y the common necessity of men
vho are threatened by common dangers.
In the gloomy ('ays which imnediately
preceded the revolution,
Similar associations were formed all
over the Thirteen Colonies, and in j
hfrill nnr f?lli??r? ofomnl l??i- I
ivd to tyranny.
And now when the tifteen Southern
States are threatened, as were'
ihe thirteen colonies, with the loss of j
their liberties, the people arc binding
ihemselves closely together and
wearing on the altars which their
fathers built, to defend their rights,
and to resist unto death the tyranny
Df the North.
As our readers are aware, such associations
have been formed in every
District ofthis State, with one or two
exceptions, and now it is high time
that we mountaineers were sneaking
and preparing to act', for though our
District is comparatively poor and
thinly populated, yet its people are
brave and true of heart, and our
Southern brethren Hhould know that
they may trust us when the hour shall
come.
The Greenville Mountainekk.
s. A. Townes has become
associated with Mr. Campbell in the
management of this excellent paper.
Maj. Townes is a writer of experi|
cnce and lability, a warm friend of
the South, and we cordially welcome
him into our rank?.

Gen. Foot e.?This distinguished
gentleman was to address the people
of Jackson, Miss, on the 18th ult.
Gov- Quitman was to reply.
Maj. Hobbie, first Assistant
Post Master General, has resigned
that office to accept the Presidency
of the Ocean Steam Navigation
Company of New York, at o
i salary of six thousand dollars a year.
The Kev. Mr. McWhorter's
School.?We had on yesterday the
gratification of attending a public ex
animation of this gentleman's stu|
dents, and were much pleased with
I their performances. Mr. McWhorter
is certainly a good disciplinarian,
and in every way a skillful instructor
of youth, and we feel it to be our
duty warmly to recommcnd him to
the patronage of the public.

Nf.w Yorv?The proceedings of
the Whig Convention at Utica, have
terminated in a virtual endorsement
of the Syracuse nominations and proceedings,
so lhat now Ihe whole
Whiff party, following the doctrines
of those conventions, arc ?W%ed to
Abolitionism, and will, i., ,t ' probability
succeed, at the approaching
election. That partv has now assumed
the canee of Fred. Douglass
and Wm. H. Seward, and their success
will place the State in the foremost
rnnk of Abolitionism. The
Albany State Register, the or/*an of
the national Whigs, most fully and
unequivocally endorses the proceedings
at Utica, and says the Whig*
should now be united upon the Syracuse
ticket; and though avowedly
opposed to the doctrines of William
H. Seward, that journal calls upon
the Whig party to rally upon the
Syracuse ticket, as the only one, in
I the event ol election, which will car|
ry out the views alwavs entertained
by the Whig par'y. The Democratic
narty, in every section of the State,
will mike a trmcHous effort to gain
the ascendancy in the State, as Well
as in Congress* The Whigs of the
Meward faction?and they arc all
virtually Whigs of that stamp, now,
are holding meetings in every direction
to denounce the Fugitive Slave
Law, which seems to occupy the uppermost
position in their thoughts.-?
At Sy racuse, a few evenings since
| the Whigs held a convention, ?nc
j after nominating the editor of the
j Syracuse Journal, one ot the fnob
f violent Abolition papers in the State,
passed a series of resolutions defying
the execut< rs of the law, as well as
all the powers of the State. They
denounced the officers oft he Government,
to whom is entrusted the exe1
cution of the law, as land pirates and
kidnappers. The speeches were of
the most inflammatory character, in
. Oswego county a convention was
held which sustained the course of
the seccders at Syracuse as a just and
proper movement, but which meeting
was represented by the Albany Journal
as coinciding with the views of
1 the majority. Petitions are being
signed in most of the western counties,
to be presented to Congress, at
its next session, for the repeal ol the
Fugitive Slave Law. In the event
of tlie success of either the Whig or
1 Democrat candidate for Congress,
an attempt will be made to effect
ine repeal of the law; for while the
, Whig nominees are nearly to a p an
favorable to the Seward platform,

The Hot; ('nop.?The correspondent
of a mercantile house of Jjouisvillc,
having recently visited the porkpacking
points on the Illinois and
Mississippi rivers, says the number
of hogs will fall very little, if any,

The corn crop was never finer, he
adds, and this will enable feeders to
bring all their small hogs to market,
by late feeding. The corn of the
Back country will be fed to hogs, as
it will not pay to bring it to market,
and if 2 1-2 cents net is paid for hogs,
he says it will bring them forward.
At Hannibal, Mo. the deficiency is
j estimated at 8000 hogs; at Quincy
j and Keokuk and other towns, an inj

I l ho estimate of hogs packed on
the Illinois unci Mississippi rivers, last

The general increase in Jowa, Missouri,

NEW PAPER.
It is rrmored that a paper is to be
set on foot in one ot the adjoining
Districts, for the purpose of vindicating
the whole batch of usurpations
of the last Congress, and to teach the
people of the Mountains that the way
ol submission to wrong is much
smoother than manly resistance to insult
and oppression. Rumor further
says that this paper is to be the ^>iooneer
of the high federal and latitudinarian
principles of Fillmore and
Clay, that it is designed to obliterate
the foolish and absurd doctrine of
b'n'iC-liigiiini ftilU 15 tO tiCt US H
sponge in wiping from the recollection
of the people the political impression
left on their minds by Mr.
Calhoun, whose life was devoted to
I heir i ervice.
A Disappointment.?It was ut
one of the watering places near our
city that the following incident occurred*.
A very romantic young lady?one
of ihe misses who wculd rather elope
with a distressed coachman than
marry as every body else does?a
j young lady of the novel-reading
white muslin, pink ribbon, long ringlets
style, condescended one evening
to make one of a party that stroll' d
down a very long wharf to witness
the arrival of the city boat.
How it happened, no one could
tell, but a shriek and a splash in the
water were suddenly heard, and Miss
Seraphina had as suddenly disappeared.
The bustle and coafusion
were gmaii eeverai lauies tainted, the
young miss's father went crazy without
a word of warning; and most of
the gentlemen looked and acted as
if they wero rehearsing the first appearance
on any stage of a lunatic
asylum. Meanwhile Miss Romance
was drowning.
Another splash wrs heard, and a i
big Newfoundland dog dived after
the future mermaid. A moment
more and he reappeared towing Miss
Sernphina ashore.
She wna carried instanter to the
hotel. She. had, as hi duty bound,
fainted. The big Newfoundland
shook himself and roiled tin in n Aim
ny spot for a regular nap.
Soon the young laity regained her
senses. Her father's joy may he imagined.
His astonishment might ali
so have been discoverable on hearing
his fair daughter, so soon as she could
i move her tongue, ask for her heroic
- rescuer?she must eee him?<?he muftt
thank him?she must offer him the
i hand and heart he had saved from the
I briny deep.
s Trie poor father, half atnpfrfied by
t Ihc strange proposal, atteknp^ed iti
vain to expostulate with her or t?
show h?;r the unreasonableness of
her conduct. It was of no use; she
adored her rescuer, she knew her
heart would break if her father opposed
her wishes; she was determined
to marry the brave fellow or descend
into the tomb lik a faded flower.
"Well," said her father, "if it must
be so, you shall speak to the hero at
once.1' And opening the door he began
whistling and calling Pompey!
Pompey! you Pompey! here Pomney!
Pompey came. Miss Serapnina
fainted again. Pompey barked at
her as if glad to escape 'the hand and
heart.1 Somehow or other the story
icaked out. Whether Pompey or
die old gentleman told it could never
be known. The effect, however,
could never be known. The effect,
however, was tremendous. Pompey
was called great ever after, and
as for the lady?as Jeemcs Yellowplush
indites it? "phansy her pheelinx.
[N. O. Picayune.
Origin of the word Dollar.?The
derivation suggested for this, in Tod's
edition of Johnston, is confirmed by
the particular explanation of late lex
! icojrraphers. In 151G, a silver mine
was discovered at Joachim's thaler
I (Joachim's Dame,) in Bohemia, and
the proprietors, in ihc follownig year
issuet1 a great number of silver pieces,
of about jthe value of thft spani&h pe
soduro, which bore the name of Joachim's
thaler, subsequently ; ore\k.ted
into dollar. Thus the dollar.
like the guinea, commemorates (he
locality of the metal from which it
was originnll) coined.
j\ Noble Sentiment.?At the
late meeting in Henry county, we
perceive that a certain submissive individual
by the name of Mr. Gardner,
of (lie Eufaula Shield, rose and addressed
ihc Chair with the view of
making a speech, when lie was informed
by the President, that worthy
citizen and patriot, Maj. Ccorge
Williams, in a very calm and dignified
manner, lhat"the meeting would
not entertain submission doctrine,"
and the prolonged cheering showed,
savs the Abbeville Banner. i4how fid
ly the people responded lo the patriotic
sentiment of the presiding otfi- i
cer." Such noble sentiments us these t
of Mnj. Williams reminds us of the i
days of our forefathers, bs we read
them in history. It calls to mind the <
hallowed sayings of Patrick Henry,
Pinckney, Moultrie, Marion, &c.,
and the glorious deeds which foliowod.
May the people of this genera- I
tion he like those of that?equal to j
the crisis. <
Mr. Gardner was informed by the 1
President that he would be met in 1
discussion at such time and place as
would suit his convenience.

The Dv.ar Compromise.?The
Jjexingtoninns arc feasting Mr. Clay
en account of his labors in favor of
ihe compromise; while the Whig
convention of the States of New
Yord and Massachusetts, representing
every part of both th^se yjt4te?,
have almost unanimously denounced
ihe fugitive slave law; and the New
Yftflt fonvnttlini, hfta imvuorl rnut!,!*
tions endorsing all the infamous doctrines
of Senator Seward*
Meetings in great numbers have
aJ?o been held all over the North,
in which the fugitive slave law has
been bitterly denounced and abused,
and the cry of repeal has gone forth
in thunder tones. The runaway negroes
have been arined with pWois
and bowie-knives, and have resolved
to resist the law, and nun

rest them; and in all this Hiey hfcvfc ]

nearly the whole Northern press and I

Is any Southernor so blind that he
cannot see I hat this law will be repealed?
And is not all this u virtual

look as if the only safety of the South
is in a dissolution of the Union? We
hope things may come righ/' We
