Ohm FEILows.-We understand that
there will be a meeting OF the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows al this place, on
Thursday the 7lh Of March. for tue pur>
pose Of organizing Lodge. Oh our own
knowledge we know nothing Of the order
of Odd Fellows, further than that one Of
its chief characteristics is Charity
simply that charity which prompts man TO
extend a crumb to his fellow man, bu, Of
that more comprehensive and nolseless
kind which, dslilling gently as the dews
of heaven, fails with a lertillzing influence
around the human heart, teaching TO DO
good to others, 10 pity and seek to restrain
their faults. 10 encourage the virluous and
reform vice, and throw its protecting and
sustaining mantle around the widow and
the orphan. The Orderis o! comparative
ly recent origin, yet we believe has its 70.
,aries in every section oil the Union. and
has attained high degree OF popularity
which Is the best commentary upon the

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.

We give below the conclusion of a
speech delivered in the House of Repre-
sentalves by Mr.. Mcdowell, of Virginia.
upon the slave controversy. The passage
has been much and justly admired:
alt is said. sir, that al some dark hour Of
our revolutionary contest, when army after
army had been lost, when dispiried, beat
en-, wrelched, the hearts of the bodies, and
fathfullest died within them, and all, for
an instant, seemed conquered. except the
unconquerabIe soul of our father chief, i,
is said that at that moment, rising above
al the auguries around him, and buoycd
up by the inspiration of his immortal work
for all the trials it could bring, he reused
anew the sunken spirit of his associates by
this confident and daring declaration -
"Slrip me (saId he) of the detected and
suffering remnant Of my army-lake from
me all that | have leh-leave me but a
banner-eive me but the means to plant il
on the mountains OF West Augusta, and |
will ye, draw around me the men who will
lift up their bleeding county from the dust,
and Sc! her Free" Give to me, who am
a son and representative here of that same
West Augusta, give to me as banner the
propilious measure have endeavored to
support, help me 10 plant i, upon this
mountain top of cur national power, and
the land Of Washington, undivided and
unbroken. will be our land, and the land Of
our children's children forever. So help
me to do this at this hour, and, generations
hence, some future representative Of the
South, standing where stand IN this same
honored Hall, and in the mids, Of our legi>
innate successors, will bless and praise and
thank God, that he. too, can say of them,
as ! of you, and Of all around me. These,
these, ale my brerhIea, and Ibis, this, too,
is my country!

WHAT CHEAT IS HUMAN LIFE IA
pale brow droops, bright eye grows dim.
Young hear, breaks slowly and silently,
and then physicians are called in TO give
the disease a name; the learned men know
nothing of the anlecedents; the patient
does not confide to them all the details OF
the past; not syllable is brea,hed OF the
stimulated passion which awoke happiness
and hope-not word is murmured Of the
falsehood which left the venom TO tester IN
the heart. And so they lhrong around the
bed; and while the mother listens through
her tears for one cheering prophecy, and
the brother turns away too proud TO belray
his agony, they mock the victim-whose
only cure mus, be the grave-wilh scien-
,ifc sublleues and Idle logic. And then
comes the hearse, and the bed of earth
and the drama is played out and the cur
tain falls.

CELEBRATION OF THE 22D FEB
RUARY.

CELEBRATION OF THE Cpd FEB
RUARY.
The anniversary Of The Birth Day o! the
Father oil his Country, was celebrated by
the Masonic Fraternity of this place, with
appropriate honors. The members OF the
Lodge formed ia procession at the Court
house and marched to McGaughey's cor"
ner. preceded by the Brass Band, where
they were joined by the Athens Division
Sons Of Temperance, who had been invl-
ted TO participate in the proceedings. 1he
procession then moved TO the Presbyterian
Church, where large crowd had assem-
bled 10 listen TO an Address from THos. }.
CAMpBELL, JR., ESQ, who had been Sc
lected as the orator for The occasion. our
knowledge Of Mr.. Campbell's a'taInments
as n scholar and a gentleman OF high IN
,ellec'ual capacities. led US to expect
rood speech, and we were not G!sappoint-
ed. His effort Of the .!!2l was one OF which
any man might be proud the COM
posi,ion being iautless, and the manner oil
delivering it distinct, graceful. and lm>
pressive. 1t was listened TO throughout BY
the large audience with the proloundes' at
tentlon, and elected their hishes, com
menda,ion. The Address will be PUBLISH
ed in pamphlet form in a few days. by
order Of the Lodge. and we advise all VITO

secure copy OF it for pernsal.
The whole proceedings were OF the most
interesting and pleasing character, as well
as exceedngl! appropn'te 10 the occasion'
and the audience retired after the conclu-
sion evidently highly graifed, and their
minds filed with the hallowed assocla-
tons which we trust will ever be found
clustering around the memory o! the Great
and Good Man, in commemor1'ion Of
whose virtues and patriotism they had
been called together.

Mr., CLAWS CONTROVERSIAL cores
pondelt Of the Baltimore Sun, rather de-
mocralic in his tendencies, writes from
Washington, under date of the 18th, that
'the sa,esmanike, patriotic, Unon views
of Henry Clay, begin to be considered with
more favor than at the beginning, and II
is admitted by many Southern gentlemen.
that with the omission of two or three
lines, and one or two amendments, they
nigh, be accepted by the whole country as
a suitable compromise for both great sec
tons of the Union. Mr.. Clay's ma os1ic
peroral;on yesterday. and the abolition
movement to day, have inclined the think
ing portion OF Congress. TO rather follow
the lead of an old and tried statesman, than
follow in the wake Of the aboiuonists.
"Mr. Clay, take him all IN all, is the
greatest character in that Senate. Wheth>
er we agree with his reasoning or not,
whether we admire his logic or feel dis
posed 10 dissent from his conclusions, there
is living faith in the old Kentuckian-a
patriotic fire, from which many a great
writing or ciphering statesman might light
his tallow candle. A plague on those men
with big words on their lips. and their
hearts in their b!eeches! Old Harry Clay
is right when he possesses the fnalily OF
the question instead Of the settlement of it
by peacemeal. The final encasure is the
only one which will quiet agitation and
make the North and South again feel as
brothers and citizens of the same great and
powerful country. II Clay's compromise
resolutions be taken up, and adopted with
suitable amendments, California will come
in without struggle, and such ccnside
ration is certainly more desirable than the
triumph that free-solism ,Tould achieve
by the immediate hot haste admission of
the gold land"

FoREIGN.-The America brings in.
tclIigcnce that Paris has been in a
state OF siege. The cause of this is
stated to have been that the President
Of the Republic ordered the police to
cut down the Liberty Poles that were
erected during the Revolution. The
people rose en- masse and protested
against the execution of the ORDER
One hundred thousand of the military
were ordered out, which finally dis.
pcrsed the mob; but not until several
were wounded and some imprisoned.
At tine last dates, the city was under
martial law, and in a state of quietude.

doing nothing but making excited speeches,
until the next black Monday. Then. it is
to be apprehended that another scene OF

the House. Many of The more consideIa'e
of the Northern members, admit that 1t
was a mistake, on their part. 10 attempt to
force the California question. They DO
not intend to delay the admission OF Cali.
rornia beyond the close Of the present sea-
son; but they will attempt to effect SIM
ultaneous adjustment of other questions,
which agla,e the country and excite the
South.
The prospect now is, that Congress will
discuss Mr.. Clay's resolutions and the
California question, for three months 10
come, and, by that time. the excitement
it is hoped, will so far subside as 10 per-
NIT legislation ON territorial and other
questions.
Its evident that the North has abandon

Mr.. RAYMOND, of the Courier y Enquirer,
who drew the second resolution, 10 not

supposed; but It leaves their Senators Tree
to oppose it, or vote for Clay's or General
TayIor's plan of compromise. The stand
made By the South, since this session CONS

RECApTuRED. We learn by a 2ri-
vate letter from Kingston. Tenn, that
the "dcspera,e negro" Sam, who last
summer was arrested by Low and
Diggs. (after wounding the latter al
most MORALLY, and being himself Sc
verely stabbed) and who subsequent
ly miraculously escaped from tho Jail
of Anderson county, has again been
caught and is now confined in the
prison at Kingston. We are inform.
ed that he was found in the woods by
Adam L.calh, and that so soon as he
knew that he was seen by Leath, he
prepared to 'make battle" and await.
ing until Lcath came near him, he
fired at him with a pistol. while at
the same instant Leah discharged a
rifle at him. Leath was himself mis-.
sed, but the negro was less fortunate;
the ball from the rifle having entered
to the right of his stomach, passed
around his ribs. lodging in his body.
SO soon as the negro fired and recei>
we'd his wound, he rushed upon Leath
with his drawn butcher knife, and
inflicted as many as half a dozen
wounds upon different parts of his
body. Lcath finally, however. sue.
ceedcd in overcoming him, and yet
spared his life while he might have
taken it. In this struggle, as in the
one with Low and Diggs, the negro
was aided by white woman. The
woman has fled or concealed herself
while the negro will we presume. be
tried for capital offence, provided
the Jail at Kingston can keep him
until the day of tria!!.--Kno.r. Reg.
