Prom tS Pendleton S. C. Mevsenger, Sept. 3- ,
We had quite a stir in our village on Friday last,
hen the Southern mail was delivered.: As is usu
al oq that day, a large number of gentlemen from
the country were in attendance, waiting for 'their
letter and-papers, CoL William Sloan was among
the first to receive his, and upon ercmination he
found printed document post-marked. flotoo,
mailed as a letter, charged with ten cn 'ja lvjacnge,
signed Juniiw, and addressed to the Hon. John C.
Calhoun, of a most malicio'rs, offensive and insult
ing cbaractar to the Southern people.- This doc
wmnt wis read by CoL Sloan, aloud, and tt pm
duo$d much excitement among the persons assemfilei.
A call upon' the postmaster to know if there were
any others to the office, to which he replied there
Were thirty-eight in all. The executive committee
pf the Committee of vigilance and, safety immedi
ately assembled to take action in the matter, and,
as the excitement wax very great, they concluded
that it would be better to hold the course to be pur
sued under consideration until the nest morning.
It was proposed by a gentleman present that they
would take charge of the person of the postmaster
until the commute obtained possession of the pa
pers, but this was declined as the committee wish
ed to avoid violence. . , M .
" 'The next morning the committee assembled at
the office, and ma le a demand for the letters ; the
postmaster refused to give ihem up, unless to those
to whom they were addressed, on the payment of
the postage, and urged his duties as au officer of
the Ueneral Government The cemmtttee tola
Wm they were, determined to hare, the papers,
peaceably if they could, forcibly if they must, and
that resistance would be in vain. They then en
tered the office, shoved the postmaster aside, and
took possession of them, and now have them ander
lock and key, where they will remain until the meet
ing of the committee of vigilance and safety, on the
20th inst', What course the committee will reco
mend to be adopted, to meet this new mode of as
sauting the South, we cannot say ; but of one thing
we are certain, and that is, that the most energetic
means will be resorted to.
From tha N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. .
t' We .have two or three remarks to make upon
the transaction above described, apart from the
question of its legality. . And first we invite atten
tion to the singular inconsistency which marks the
conduct, not only of CoL Sloan' but of the whole
party. The gallant Colonel finds himself the re
cipient of an 'incendiary' publication, the contents
of which must be eminently dangerous to have
made generally known,-especially, it is to be pre
sumed, among the 'colored population. The dic
tate of prudence would be, therefore, to put it out
w we way as quicKiy and with as little noise as
possible. But insted of this the sagacious Colonel
at once proceeds to read it aloud, in a public place,
in bearing of a crowd, among which were probably
some negroes, and still more probably some boys
who would be apt to talk about it in the hearing of
negroes; thus taking the most effectual means to
disseminate a knowledge of its contents among the
blacks, very few of whom can read, and who must,
. therefore, have only oral facilities for bee m;ng ac
quainted with anything that is published. And
the assembled white" men, highly excited by the
reading, immediately proceed to adopt a course of
proceedings the best fitted m the world to make
the "incendiary pamphlet a subject of town, and
Street, and house' and plantation talk, and to stim
ulate the curiosity of the blacks in relation to it,
who, but for this proceeding, would in all proba
bility remain in total ignorance of the whole mat
ter. We suppose that there may be, in the Northern
states, some curiosity to know what is the character
of this formidable pamphlet signed 'Junius,' which
has stirred up such an agony of apprehension in
various parts of South Carolina. And many will
be surprised at learning, we dare say, that in no
sense what ever does it belong the class distinct
ively known as 'abolition documents.' It is in fact
strictly political, and is addressed, not to the slaves
or slaveholders, but entirely to tha large class of
non-slaveholders mechanics, small cultivators,
tradesmen, and in short," the unaffluent white peo
ple of the South. The spirit of its teaching is that
a species of aristocracy exists in the slave holding
states, not unlike the landed aristocracy of Great
ifnUan, the etrect of which is that the larest share
of political influence, as well as of social advantages.
is possessed and enjoyed by the owners of planta
tions and slaves, to the detriment of machancs,
tradesmen, small cultivators, in a word, of all who
are under the necessity of living by their own la-
. bor and their own exertions. The the teaching
of the pamphelt is as strictly political as of any
that has ever been published in the Northern
states on the subject of banking or other corpora
tions, or of monopolies, or of land reform ; and so
far as we can see, its discussions are as legitamately
Witiun tne province oi tree: white citizens as are
the pretensions of a Governor or a member of Con-
press, v - .
- If we remember rightly the word abolition never
occurs in the pamphlet, nor is slavery ever advert
ed to except as an element of the aristocracy which
undoubtedly does exist at the South, as every in
telligent citizen mustknow, and as is demonstrated,
with facts and figures, by the author of the pam
phet, understood to be himself a Southern man. '
We do not know but the South Carolina folks
not doing an essential service by making all this
fuss about the Junius pamphlet; for the natural
effect must be a growing curiosity to read it, and
we can hardly suppose is possible that it can be
read by any of the class to which it is addressed,
' without producing - a strong conviction that the
true Democratic equalty of rights and privileges is
very far indeed from having a general' existauce in
South Carolina. . .-

she would be a total loss. Passengers, however,
who came down yesterday, state that she is upon
a sandy bottom, and hopes are entertained ot get

" ' Important Discovery in Ventilation.
At a time when cholera, with an appealing
voice, calls the moist earnest attention to house ven
tilation and dreadful explosions and loss of life in
mines demand no less efforts to devise means for
the prevention of these calamities vi finvA much
satisfaction In anticipating that human- residence
may easily be supplied with a continued circulation
of wholesome air, and the most dangerous subter
raneous works be preserved against accidents from
the foul currents of fire-damp. ' Dr. Chowne has
enrolled a patent for improvements in Ventilatinsr
Rooms and Apartements, of the perfect efficacy of
which, we believe, there cannot be and unexpected.
w itliont going into details at present, we may state
that the improvement are based upon an action in
the syphon which had not previously attracted the
notice ot any experimenter, viz, that if bxed with
legs of unequal length the air rushes into the shor
ter leg, and circulates up, and discharges itself from
the longer leg. It is easy to see how readily this
can be applied to any chamber, in order to purify
it atmosphere. Let the orifice of the shorter leg
be desposed where it can reeeive the current, and
lead into the chimney (in mines, into the shaft,) so
as to conver that chimney or that shaft into the
longer leg, and you have at once the circulation
complete. A similar air syphon can be employed
ip ships, and the lowest holds, where disease is
generated in the close berths or the crowded sea
men, be rendered as fresh the upper decks. The
eurosity of this discovery is that the air in syphon
reverses the action ot water, or other liquid, which
enters and decends or moves down in the longer
leg and rises up in tlie shorter leg ! ! X his is now
a demonstrable fact ; but how is the principle to
be accounted for ? It puzzels our philosophy.
That air in the beat tube is not to the surrounding
atmosphere as water, or any heavier body, is evi
dent; and it must be from this relation that the
updraft in the longer leg is caused, and the con
stant circulation and withdrawal of polluted gases
carried on. cut be this as it may, one thing is
certain that a mose useful and important discov
ery has never been made for the comfort and
health ot civilized man. We see no end to its ap
plication. There is no sanitary measure suggested
to which it may not form a most beneficial adjunct
There is not a hovel, a cellar, a crypt, ar a black
close hole anywhere, that it may not ceanse and
disinfect. We trust that no time will be lost in
bringing it to the public test on a large scale, and
we foresee no impediment to its being immediately
and universally adopted for thaypublic weaL We
ought to remark, that fires or heating apparatus
are not at all necessary; and that as the specif, a-
tion expresses it "this action is not prevented by
making the shorter leg hot whilst the longer leg
remains cold, and no artificial heat is necessary to
the longer leg of the air syphon to cause this action
to take place." Extraordinary as this may appear,
wel have witnessed the experiments made, with
various tubes from less than an inch to nearly a
foot in diameter, and we can vovch for the fact
being perfectly deraonstated. Light gas does des
cend the shorter leg when heated and ascend the
longer leg when the column of air is m uch colder
and heavier. London Literary Gazette.
Missionary Intelligence.--Ihe tollowmg in
telligence has been received from the various sta
tions of the American Board, at the agency in this
city, within the present month:
i rom southern Atrica, Mr. tirant writes that the
interest of the people of that colony is increasing
on the subject ot religion, and that the work is ad
vancing as rapidly as it can, without occassioning an
open outbreak. The spirit of inquiry extends
through the entire native population of the colony.
At Dindigul, one of the stations of the Madras
mission, Mr. Kandall is performing a missionary
tour, and has hundreds of attentive hearers. At
Pulnev, he administered the communion for the
first time, and eight persons were admitted to the
church.
Dr. King writes from Athens under the date of
Aug. 28th, that on the preceding Sabbath, he had
29 hearers at his Greek preaching service, mostly
students, and many of them from the University
Each Saturday afternoon he has a prayer-meeting,
in which two converted Greeks take an active port
Mr. Dodd, of the Salome mission to the Jews,
says, 'God has set before him an open door, and
he sees no hindranca to entire access and direct
labor, as soon as he can learn the language. The
battle for religions freedom has been fought and
won for all Turkey." He appeals for more aid. It
is noticed as an interesting fact, that whereas form
erly all the books published in the Amenian lan
guage were in tha ancient tongue, and therefore
dead to most of the people, they now imitate the
missioneraries by publishing books in the modern
language.
The Rev. H. G. Dwight, late from Constantinople,
made a series of remarks in relation to the Turkish
Empire, ot a descriptive character. Ihey were
highly interesting, and will probably be repeated

An Iacidest. In passihg up Broadway, day
before yesterday afternoon.our attention was attract
ed to a well dressed female sitting on a door step
near the market, she had resting oa her knees what
we took at a distant to be a baby, and thinking the
infant loveliness" had become restive, she was
obliged to sit down to pacify it
Her dress was of the neatest and most recharche
pattern, her bonnet the same, and a veil of gossa
mer texture and virgin purity, floated from her bon
net, and half shrowded her form, like a priestess
of the ancient magn.
When opposite her our doubts were resolved as
to the cause of her selecting sucli a lonley seat
For as we stood and gaz'd
Her veil was lifted by the breeze,
And lo ! ye saints, her pearl-like tlieeth
Were hard at work on bread and cheese !

Langaster Eagle,) writing home to the Cincin
nati rnguirer, says:
"lell your newspaper brethren to save them
selves the brains they are fretting in the discus
sion upon 'slavery in (Jaiitornia, they ' are only
acting 'Much Ado about nothing,' . with improve
ments which even bhakspeare would have laugh
ed at Of all the absurdities of the day, none can
excel that of establishing slavery in this territory,
unless some hair brain would start the idea as a
rival, that slavery could exist after being estab
lished here. Why, such a thing is never thought
of here, by any one, whatever his birth, education
or prejudices, save to be laughed at If you have
any imdividual or association near you, desirous
ot pushing slavery into, and propagating it in VJali-
fornia, in the nameot all that is wonderful, let him
oi them come, and Dring au tne niggars mat
can be brought for such a testing purpose. In
the first place, the people here will dispose of
the institution in their Convention and Constitution :
in the next Nature has revolted at such an idea
on the whole surface of the country, against any
such uses of her soil. Slavery would starve to
death here, unless amply fed from the store houses
of the states at home. If there could be a com
promise with two parties in the states, and the en
tire people should agree that slavery might be
withdrawn thence and colonized here, the very
laws of Nature on the Pacific would waste it away
like snow under an April sun. Spill not your ink
over tribulations of this kind spill not your blood
any how ! you are only laughed at, good friends.

The Americans have ordered the Mexicans and
Chilians to quit the diggings, it is said, and a time
has been fixed for their departure, at the expira
tion of which force would be restored to. The
number of Mexicans at the mines is estimated at
6000, and Chilians and other South Americans at
over .5000; and fierce opposition was expecied,
attended most propably with bloodshed.
The yield of gold at the diggings continued sat
isfactory. The estimated average at all the mines
was $3,000,000 per month.
The people, it would seem, were too intent on
taking advantage af the favorable season for dig
ging, to give much attention to political move
ments, which were in consequence at a stand shall.
The health of those engaged at the mines was

New Inventions.-4. London letter of the 31st
of August published in the New York Commer
cial Advertiser, has the following items:
A valuable invention has been made in Belgium.
It is destined to effect as great a reform in the
manufacture of linen cloth as the steam-loom has
made in that of woollens. . It is nothing less thai
steam-loom for linen fabrics. , All the ingenuity
and perseverance ot manufacturers have been tes
ted to invent a machine of this kind ; but the fabrics
have been uniformly so poor that the machines
have been th -own, away : and manual labor again
resorted to. 'ihe difficulty has been removed by
the scientific skill of a Belgian Engineer. A mod
el of his machine, with specimens of his fabrics, has
been exhibited at the fair at Ghent ' The cloths
are said to rival in firmness, fineness and smooth
ness the best of those made by hand. If on far
ther trial, it shall be found practicable on a large
scale, a revolution will doubtless be effected in the
linen industry of Belgium, which will have a pow
erful influence on the political condition of the
country, one half of the population of Flanders liv
ing, in one way or another, on the profits of that in
dustry. Female Sarcasm. Few things are more liable

that they must first serve trb PEorix, and then the peo
