subject, which appears in to-day's paper, we
found ourselves indul4iDg.in the following qui-

contempt that would stamp upon them mark
deeper than that of Cain: let them lie hung 20
high that human clcmency can never reach
them--be cut off so quickly that divine mercy
could never interpose, and sink 50 deep that the
resurrection morn shall never awake them.
Let them go down viler than the vile dust
from whence they sprung," without tear to
mark their grave, or Il sigh to call back re- .
membrance of the ties which once bound them
to humanity. Let execrations be their monrt.
ment, and curses rise from, indignant bosoms at
every mention of their treason. AS they lived
worse than Judas, let their last end be worse
than his Let their names be marks of horror
upon history's page, and let the record of their
deeds be inscribed with the blood of fiends, and
be pointed at rs the record of fall more deep
and awful in its descent than that whose conse.
quences people the internal regions; and if it be
allowed, that they should hold communion with
devils, let them be consigned with their foul
splits to the lowest sinks of the damned. This,
and worse than this, to him and them, that ruth
lessly tear from the coronet of Union any of its
gems, or that sever link of the golden and sa.
cred chain. Yes, this, and worse than this, to

Aessrs. Edaors,-While the whole State,
from the mountains to the seaboard, will readily
respond, with saddened heart, to your assertion
that no one can "fll the vacancy caused BY tho
death ofJohn c. Calhoun" yet the minds and
hearts of many will turn in different direction
from that indicated by an Editorial in your last
Journal, in looking for linn ".who will come
nearest to it.
Rare qualities should be his upon whom the
mantle of Calhoun falls. He should be great
and good-lofty in character rs in intellect
pure, stainless, unselfsh, and particularly in the
present crisis, should he be possessed of the
hearts of the people. In searching for these
characteristics, it certainly will be deemed no
reflection upon the gentleman you have named,
or any others mentioned in this connection, to
say that these happy combinations are found
more fully developed in the mind, character and
disposition of JoHN BELroN O'NEAL, than in
those of any one Of Carolina's many worthy
sons.
The necessity of the case will doubtless cause
our honored Executive to act upon the respon.
sibility which has been thrown upon him, with.
out being informed of the wishes of the people
that matter rests with him. doubt not the
duty will be conscientiously discharged-but it
is hoped that by the next session of our Legis.
lature The people will have indicated whom they
desire to succeed their ever-loved-ever to be
lamcnted Calhoun. AS one of that people I
have made the above suggestion, believing that
it will meet Il ready response in the hearts of
the majority fthe citizens of South Carolina.

To those forming clubs.

During the Ipast week we have several
times been called upon by persons forming
Clubs in the country for the Journal, TO know
whether Clubs OF five or six could not obtain
the paperat the rate of 81 so per subscriber
We should like to accommodate our friends
in the country, and take all pains to do so,
but In this particular we cannot in Justice to
others or to our own interests. We take no
Clubs Of less than sic subscribers except a.
the single subscription price. Clubs oftrelre
or more, are furnished at the rate of 81 80
per subscriber. II we furnished Clubs of six
al the same price as those of twelve, all in
ducements would be lost for getting larger
Clubs: and we actually cannot afford the
Journal TO Clubs OF six for that price. Clubs
ottwelye or more have been formed TO secure
The Journal at 81 so per subscriber, and il,
would be injustice TO the friends who did this.
topermit others now OF smaller Clubs to OBJ
tain the Journai at this price.
There is scarcely neighborhood but by a
little activity on the part OF some friend, could
furnish the Journal with Club. We are
willing for two neighborhoods or Post Offices
TO unite in making a Club of twelve, as has
been done in several cases. if the names and
money be brought in at the same time. Thus.
for example, a friend Of the Journal in Gym
thiana wished to make up a Club Of sulli-
cient size to get the paper for 81 so per sub
scriber. With the list we had there already
he could only rget Club OF six. He then
went 10 Owenssille, and got Club Of six
On bringing in the names. he explained the
matter; and we put the names in our books
as Club of twelve he paying 81 80 each
name, and we to direct the paper respectively
TO the two places. This plan VIII assist our
friends considerably in their excrtions.
Again, we often have applications from
persons living in places where Clubs have
been formed, who some time after the fcrma-
ton Of these. wish to come in at Club sub
scription price. By admitting them, we make
confusion on our books, and overcome the
very object of forming Clubs. After this, we
shall take no names at Club prices. unless
they come in with Clubs.

New HARMONY. July 8. 1850.


DEAR SIR: Absence from home, on the
canvass for delegate to the Convention, has
prevented an earlier reply to your favor OF
the 18th ultimo.
think it likely, the road yo.l propose may
answer a good purpose. What are called
train roads have frequently been used in
England, and with success: and yours is. in
effect a train-road. Some tran-roads have
stone blocks for the wheels 10 run on /; and
some only wood. as you propose. In Eng
land they are usually macadamizcd between
the streamers.
As TO charcoal roads, they have been tried
in several States and, it is said, with sue
cess. One might suppose, that the coal dust
would be an objection; but have heard it
said by some WHO have travelled them, that
they were not annoyed in that way.
IL you take hard wood for your streamers,
and lay them true and firmly. the power Of
draught on the road will be greater than on
plank road. There is a train road leading
out from the London docks, laid however,
with granite, or which single horse draws
Il wagon, which, when it reaches the pave
meni, requires si.r horses to draw it.
Where the streemers meet, there should be
underaid piece Of plank TO break joint up
on: lay each plank, two feet long. This
will prevent sinking at the joint. And OF
course the joint on one side should be oppo-
site the centre of a streamer OH the other.
think the ground should be thoroughly
rolled before laying the steamers. We have
wooden roller weighing q tons, of burr
oak, feet in diameter and 8 feet long.
1t strikes me. that it, without too much ex-
pense, you could get some good clean sand to
cover thinIy the charcoal, it might be advan-
iaCe.
Iagree with you, thai long heavy embark
ments. besides the first expense, are unsafe.
We have become so convinced of this here,
that we had at first thought Of making sub
merged road over Fox Island, Che object be-
ing, to reach Graysvile;) hut finally, we
have resolved TO connect the Graysville and
Mount Vernon roads, by a steam ferry pack
ct. running two or three times day between
Harmony and Graysvile /; the distance about
l3 miles; and the boat to run II miles an
hour, and carry ten teams. We have the
money subscribed.
! shall hope to hear from you the further
result OF your experiment; of which, il the
streamers he hu, solidly and carefully laid,
argue iavorabiy.
