% The editor Of the Star, r,with his keen
optics, has made grand discovery, which,
if it take we'll, promises to be of great ad'
vantage to the federal:sts. In his paper Of
last week he says:
"The North is again betrayed. The
Twenty-ninth Congress has declared that
this war shall be prosecuted for aggression
and conquest, and that all the territory
which we, in our strength can wrest, or by
other meant acquire from Mexico shall be
formed into slave holding territory and
slave holding States"
Now, the editor Of the Star knows full
well that Congress has declared no such
thing. The whole assertion is based upon
the position that the vote by which the
Wilmot proviso was rejected was the final
settlement ofthe question, as to what shall
be the character Of the institutions in the
territory which may be acquired in the set.
tlement of this war; when the editor of the
Star knows that, if territory be acquired, it
will remain for Congress to provide for its
government, and then can they prohibit the
existence of slavery within the territory.
Those northern members who voted to
strike out the Proviso, did so, under the be-
lief that the bill would be defeated unless
the Proviso was rejected, and the means
for bringing our difficulties with Mexico to
a speedy and honorable close would be de-

INFAMOUS We doubt whether senti.
ments more infamous can be found in all
the tory writings and speeches during the
war of,he Revolution, or of the federalists
in the war Of 1912, than are employed by
the Mexican tories in relation to the pres
ent war with Mexico, and in vilifying those
who have taken up arms in defence of their
country. The following choice specimen
of federal decency is from the Buffalo Ex-
press, and it shows how truly Mexican is

sour streets are enliyencd with the rub.

and the work Of enlistment goes braveiy
on. This is well, and we have few more
left Of the same sort that can be spared.
Our country must have soldiers, and the
enterprising and industrious can do better
than to serve at $40 per month, with q
smart chance of being shot. The right
persons enlist. Able bodied men, who
prefer black eye to clean collar, and
had rather fight than eat, and are the very
men who should enter the army of Re.

sTHE GALVANIZED SouAsH.'--The edi-
tor of the New York Tribune has been
recently straining his lungs most dreadfally,
by believing 'dough-faces' at the members
of Congress that voted against the Wilmot
Proviso, until he has disguised many of the
readers Of his own paper. The western
Continent a weekly family newspaper
publish at Baltimore, thus notices Mr..
Greely:
THE ALBINO AND THE DOUGH- FACES.
'The tory editor of the New York Tri-
bune, calls those Northern members of
Congress, who voted against the WILMor
PRoyIso, dough faces, and parades their
names in his paper surrounded by black
lines. Every honest patriot must envy the
fame of the men, who by their firm abher-
ance to the constitution, have incurred the
displeasure of the editor of,the Tribune,
whose applause is more to be dreaded than
his abuse. That thisspoor crazy embodi-
ment Of all the vile isms and follies of the
times, should rail against sensible, honest,
patriotic men, is not at all remarkable; but
that the Galvanized Squash, as New York
editor once called him, should presume to
call any set Of men dough, faces, is utterly
ridiculous. For an insane, biggotted Albi-
no, who has subsisted on Graham bread and
his own vanity, until he has become an
object to frighten children in the streets
until his face has become SO blanched,
insipid and unmeaning, that it can be
likened to nothing human, to indulge in
such term of abuse, sis enough to excite
smile Of ridicule, even from those who
would not deign him frown ofresentment

New HAMPSHIRE Election.

We have not received the full returns Of
the election in the Granite State, but suf-
ficient has ben heard from to render it GER
tain that the Democracy have achieved q
glorious victory over all the isms combined
against them. The struggle was severe
one, and the federalists made the most ex-
traordinary exertions for success. The
war was denounced by them in the most
bitter terms, and the cause of the enemy
advocated with oil their ability. But the
people gathered around the standard Of their
country, and have given her enemies
to understand that the people are to be
found on the side oftheir country. .
The democrats have elected their Gov
ernor, q majority in both branches Of the
Legislature, and two of the four members
of Congress, and in the other two districts
there has been no choice.

For The Advertiser.

Mr.. EoIroR.-We learn. through an
editorial article in the last "Hambnrs Jour
nal" that the stock in the "Aken and
Edgefeld Rail Road has all been taken.
and that it is highly probable The Road
will now be built" This, says the Jour
nall'' zoe learned few days since, from
gentleman from Edge6eld." We, in Edge
field, however, have heard nothing as yet,
Except through the "Journal,") bul a
great deal Of talk and very little effort
about this miniature structure. So far from
the "sock having been all taken," zoe have
not yet been notified that the subscription
books have been opened. We are sorry
that the editor of The Journal has been
thrown into such fever las his remarks
indicate,) about this "oaSis in the piney
woods of Edgefeld," and would suggest
to the editor the propriety ofpunishing that
,uag OF a gentleman, who pulled the wool
over his eyes," Suppose you ride him on

TO ride on some Rail (Road) all his lie,

get ready to build the Aiken and Edgeield
Rail Road, and need his advice, we will
give him a call. As it is, wo hope we
may be allowed "lo do as we please with
our owu," and in case we should conclude
TO build The Road, aud don't run il through
any body's garden in Hamburg, we cannot
see, why Hamburg should attempt TO raise
aquarrel between Edgeield aud the Le-
gislature oflhe State. For according to
the Journals own statement, "Hamburg
is under the fostering care Of the Eegisla-
ture." which means. we suppose, that the
Legislature is bound TO- support her, aud if
such bs the case. we :cannol imagine why
Hamburg should DO SO much opposed 10

The Corn crop is finer than I have seen

of better color. The Wheat is all cut

Departure of Ne,o Recrsits. On Friday last,
about 10 United States soldiers, recently enlist
ed, at this rendezvous, BY Lieut.. Perrin, Of the
18th Regiment of Infantry, left misplace, nn-
der command Of Sergeant Presley, for Char
lesion. The whole number of men enlisted by
Lieutenant Perrin, who has been stationed
here about two months. amounts TO 2l. The
new recruits were generally good looking
strong young men, many Of them natives. A
party ofthese recruits left this place short
time stree for Spartauburg. The l2lh'Regi
ment will, ina few days, we learn, set sail from
Charleston. for the seat Of war. Lieut.. Perrin
deserves well Of his country, for the zeal and
untiring industry which he has manifested in
enlistng troops for the war. He is q native of
Edgefeld, as are many OF his men, and doubt,
less, they will well discharge their duty III the
arduous service before them.
