celebration of aElc Atn at Cal.
hours Mills

The celebration Of the 9TH came Off At
Calhoun's Mills on Saturday last in fine Or
der, we shall not attempt to give the parti-
cular of the proceedings as they have been
furnished us and may be seen in another
portion of this paper. But we must be ex-
cused for noticing the speeches upon that
occasion. Never upon any occasion have
we listened with SO much interest and
satisfaction to any speech as that of the ora
tors Of the day Mr.. w. A. LEE. And al
though the causes which led TO the separa-
ton from the mother country and to hostli-
ties are themes thread bare from frequent
usage this gifted young man invested them
with originalityand gave them new interest TO
his hearers. This speech is worthy of pre-
servation. If one Of old AbbevIle's stars
after having been the glory and admiration
OF the world for years is fading and sinking
to its rest, another is fast rising to rival it in
spiendor, and shed its mild beams upon our
great country.
We listened also with much interest TO
the speech of Judge BUTLER, the report of
which will also be seen in this paper :, His
remarks upon the Wilmot Proviso, ques-
ton which the people of the South should
begin calmly to consider, were forcible
and eloquent, and induces the belief that

We had the pleasure of visiting this neat
little village last week, during the examina-
ton of the students Of that Institution.-
Although living within a few miles of
Cokesbury. we were unapprised of its beau
ty until our visit; the architectural taste
displayed in the buildings, scattered here
and there, imbosomcd in lovely groves, and
the clean and spacious streets, make i, ono
OF the most beautiful, and at the same time,
one OF the most desirable places to reside at
in the up country. The building of this
institution, which is under the exclusive
control of the South Carolina Conference.
is massive brick structure, surrounded bv
a campus of some three or four acres in
extent and presents quite an imposing
appearance to the visitor.
We had not the pleasure Of attending tho
examination, but learn that the young GEN
tlemen acquitted themselves WE'LL and that
1t reflected great credit upon the Rector, the
Rev. q. w: w. STONE. The defamation
"Au oPCdhiuS VIC Witnessed ana unnCSlt1-
tlngly say, it was the best Of the kind we
ever heard; the original speeches were
characterised by sound sense and good
judgement, and many Of them would have
honorcd the heads and hearts otoId persons.
The address of Major ALDR1cu was one of
great ability and listened to with intense
interest by the whole assembly. His re-
marks TO the young gentlemen ofthc socic-
ties were eloquent indeed. We shall no,
attempt synopsis OF this speech as we pre-
sumo it will be published
After the conclusion Of the exercises. the
the company composed of the students of
the Institution were paradcd in full uniform
and performed the various cvo.utions with the
precision and accuracy almost of regulars.
The morals Of this Institution, tooethcr
with its splendid regulations andab!e teach
ers, render it worthy of the most extensive
patronage and an honor not only to the dis.
trict but TO the State.

CHERRY HILL, JUNE 80. 1aa7 :

Gentlemen Il have received YOUR kind
and flatterng invitation, 10 parlakc of O
public dinner at Calhoun's Mills on the Sd
day of July, i'll honor of the 4th. exceed
Ingly regret that the feeble state of INV
health will place it out Of my power to be
present on that occasion.
In referring with appreciation to my pub
lie services; you could not have selected
topic more gratifying to me than that of
lrcc trade. | regard it as one of the great
est questions that ever divided or agitaled
nations, and always considered the South
crn States of this Union as having no other
tenure for their prosperity.
lrcjoice in the hope that the glorious ex-
ample set by the two greatest commercial
nations in the world, w.ll speedily extend
it to the extremiies of the earth, and that its
manifold advantages will make it eternal.
In conclusion, offer you a sentiment,
which [ am sure will be greeted with en-
thusiasm -
Richard Cobden and the National Aut;-
Corn Luac League of England. They have
broken the shackles OF gigantic monopo-
ly, and opened the way to the greatest re-
voIution in the policy Of nations ever peace
fully achieved.
Very respectfully
Your ob't. serv't.,
GEO McDUFFIE.

mittec.

GSTThe senior of the Sentinel denies coming out
for Gen. Taylor for the Presidency during the recent
canvass in this county for Representative We made
the statement the authority of one who heard him.
The facts, as detailed to US which persuaded
upon reflection, the Editor will not deny, these
His opponent, Mr.. Brown, put the question to the
senior, as to who he was for a candidate for the
Presidency. The senior replied, that he was for the
nominee Of the Democratic Convention, whoever he
might be. Mr.. Brown then asked him, whether he
was not in favor of the nomination, by that con-
ventiOn Of Gen. Taylor, to which he unequivocally
replied, he was. This occurred at one of the ap-
pointments for stump speaking and before the people,
which will be remembered by them.
The above is in part true, aud part not true. Now
viii state the facts. and confidently appeal to all
who heard US, if We do not state them correctly.
At the commencement of every speech, (Nr. Brown
following u.s. he began by saying that he owed no
apology for being present, it by invitation of
the democratic candidates, &C., aud that if he
not there, they might say he afraid TO meet them
He would then declare himself wing. and, probably
fearing that he would not succeed without somebody's
popularity to ride in upon he stradded Gen. Tayors
shoulders, by declaring himself favor of Gen. Tay-
Tor for the Presidency; and almost invariably adding,
that - Chapman was opposed to him." This assertion,
Its object being palpable, suffered pass uu-
noticed in several instances, till we checked him. He
then asked, % who you in favor Oft" We replied,
'the nominee Of the Democratic National Convention,
whoever he might be that when the people, through
their delegates bad made their selection, we should
fight for him, aud elect him tOO!" Mr. Brown then
asked, are you not opposed to Gen. Taylor person
GRy'" Our reply was, mo" We never said that
we in favor of his nomination by that conven-
ton, and hence the matter stands contradicted 1t
was not cunning trick as it supposed to be,
to make appear the stump, that opposed Gen.
Taylor. 1t was too stupid device, to be used by
any but a demagogue. And sentiments are
generally known to the people Of this county that
subject we had no desire to controvert it on the
stump.
One word more: Mr.. Brown has so unequivocaly
pledged himself the stump to go for Taylor
"without why or wherefore" we desire the wings
of Marion to mark how he carries out this, as well
as many other pledges made.
As these matters are of little interest to our nume
readers, shall hardly notice them at length
again.

difficulty with his wife, whose fidelity he suspected
ard they lived in separate state some time. About
three weeks since his wife confined and had a
child, for whose expenses Hart sent bill day
SINCE and finding himself liable for the expen-
ses determined to possess the child accordingly at
an early hour yesterday morning he repaired 10 his
wifes residence, house in Martin ST.. and suddenly
aud rudely seizng the child, off with it in the d.
rection of Broadway, where stopping under horse
shed, he. wrapped it in his coat, and again
ing off, followed by number of persons, made his
way through corn field to the back of the burying
ground, and thence to the residence of Prof Slnan
where he stopped and claimed protection. Being
known to Mr.. Sliman as former member of the
college, he gave him temporary asy lum, and relieved
him from his pursuers. What the result is or has
been in regard TO the mother and child we do not know
