posed upon South Carolina the issue Of secession
or submission. Then taking it for granted that
all parties are satisfied that cooperation cannot
be obtained, will the Co-operationists recede
from the position they first assumed, and submit,
or will they, true to the principles they first indi-
Gated, and ever declared, mount the platform of
resistance and separate State action 2 This is

DEATH OF HENRY SCHULTZ.

We have to announce the death of HENRY
SCHULTZ, the founder Of the town Of Hamburg
in this district He expired at his residence, near
Hamburg, on Monday night last. Mr.. Schultz
was remarkable man-and his energies were
called out, through large portion Of long life,
in works of great usefulness to the community in
which he lived. It is no undue encomium to say
of him, that there were few men of his day and
time who possessed more of the high spirit of dis
interested enterprise. He contended against ad.
versity with the fortitude Of a true hero-he
smiled amid the reverses of fortune, many Of
which befel him, and sunk into his final rest, un-
daunted to the last His name cannot readily
be forgotten by the community with which he
was identified. :.

DIR ELECTION,

THE Co.operationists, as will be seen, show a
majority of one votepolled for Southern Congress.
We regret deeply that our Secession friends have
permitted this consummation. 1t was not even
expected by the Co-operationists themselves. We
do not know whether to regard it fair test of the
strength of the two parties in Edgefield. 1t will
be seen thatnearly 1000 votes did not to the polls.
The Seressionists will claim majority Of these
absent voters-so will the Co-operationists. How
can it be decided! We suppose, only by the bal
lot.box at the general elections. We could have
desired such turnout as would have settled the
question As it is, the District has not yet fully
spoken out. If it is the voice of the whole Dis.
trct which we desire to have, it ought to be shown
by something like the whole vote of the District.
However this may be, we trust our Cooperation
friends, if in the ascendency, will take some steps
to avoid further distraction. We trust this will
be done in the interval between this time and the
opening of the approaching canvass for the Legis-
lature. Much good may be done in this way We
hope still for the best. Our heart is with our
State

The Edgefield Baptist Associa'
ton to the Churches i'm Union.

BELOVED BRErHREE-As the Circular Let
ter has failed This year, we address you in a
short communication in the form of Il Circu-
lar, through the Committee on the State of
Religion within our bounds.
The information from few of the Church
es has been gratifying in the report of two
hundred and sixty-nine baptisms, attended
with lively state Of things in Religion. The
Ministry also is increased in numbers. In
this department, We have now twenty-one
Ordained Ministers, and five Lccntiates. who
are statedly proclaimihg the truth Of God to
listening audiences, Two Bible Societies,
and two Sunday Schools onla are afiording
their aid to the labors of the Ministry.
But tits cause of sore amentation, that the
spirit of active picty and Jealous effort on the
part of the membership is very low. Poll
tics and the love of this world. are, it is justly
feared, absorbing the attention Of thr profess
sors of Religion TO The awful neglect of Re-
ligion itself. The Ministry too feel the en-
fpcbling influence of these general causes of
spiritual declcnsion
In this state of things, deeply sensible of
the political difficulties that are gathering
upon us. we have resolved upon a day of
fasting, humiliation and prayer, and have in
structed the Moderator 10 request the Go
vernon of the State to appoint the day, that
may appear to him most suitable, and make
it known by proclamation.
With unanimous voice, we have resolved
70 establish a Book Depository at Edgefeld
C. H., for the purpose of bringing to a GEN.
trail point in the Association, Religious works,
that they may be easily obtained, and at very
moderate prices And we have appointed a
board for the management of its interests, to
whose hands we have committed the funds
sent up for the purpose. One object of this
organization is to supply the destitute gra-
tuitously, who are unable TO purchase. 1t is
earnestly requested that those who may not
have sent up any contribution for this object,
will be pleased to forward their amounts 10
the Moderator or Treasurer of the Associa-
alton, who are members Of the Board.
One hundred and sixty dollars are already
pledged to procure Colportcur, who shall
Iravel through the Association with the books,
and call at every house. But as this sum is
not sufficient, We must wait until Churches
or individuals. or both, shall supply the Board
with an adequate sum.
We remain, dear brethren, afectionately
yours in Gospel Bonds,

pia then submission Slate of the lowest grade!
1t pains us even to make the suggestion-but We
fear it is no less true than melancholy
Now the question forces itself upon us, what is
to become of old South Carolina9 Is she too to
follow with shame and humiliation under the yoke
of her oppressors Have her citizens, at any pre-
vious period of her history. consented to become
the passive instruments of their own degradation!
Will they do SO now! Let both the parties, into
which our State is divided, reflect deeply upon
this al-important question. 1t is one Of the last
moment to us all.
The Secessionists Gf successful in carrying the
State) propose, with one united voice, ACTION.
Thi, they regard the path of honor and the path
of safety And they urge that the mass OF ptoba-
bilities goes directly to prove that ACTION, if
cautiously and skilfuly taken, will be em;nently
triumphant. Such is the course they recommend.
as being entirely accordant with the past charac-
ter Of their State.
The Co.operationists Gf successful in carrying
the State) propose, with one united voice, DELAY.
This they regard the path of safety, and not ut
variance with what is honorable. But unqualified
delay only differs from submission-Georgia sub.
mission, in name. The inquiry then arises, will
the anti-secession majority of the present week
(if such shall uppear) indicate prevalent feeling
in South Carolina in favor Of unqualified delay!
We are Of opinion that it will not be entirely So
we hope 1t will prove almost entirely otherwise.
OF portion of that vote, we have no hesitation
in saying that it is designed TO bring about the
absolute submission Of our State. This portion
includes the bulk of the Greenville vote, and, as
we are told, Of the Horny vote-also portion of
the Charleston vote, and very considerable
sprinklng of like character throughout the State
How large proportion of the whole anti.secessiun
vote Is Of this grade, we are unprepared to say.
But we have been assured by prominent Co.
operationists, that with this portion Of the anti
secession vote, the Cooperation party (propcr has
no sympathy whatever. So far, so good. We are
led to believe moreover that they lave resolved
never to submit to the Compromise measures-and
that they are determined to resist on past issues.
This Is also an agreeable assurance. And all we
have to say in conclusion is, "come out. gentle
men, with your mode Of resistance rs speedily as
the nature of the case will admit. Secessioaists
call upon you to do so that they may see whether
perchance our dear State may not be saved the
disgrace of further and wilder discord. Cooper
ationists (who have become such from your pledge
of resistance) demand of you the redemption of
that pledge, and a plain exhibition of the manner
in which you design preserve inviolate the fame
and political influence Of South Carolina"

WHAT NExr.-Thc Cincinnati Nonparicl
says:
By invitation of Mr. Wood, we yesterday
had the pleasure of witnessing Mr.. McCor-
mick's experiment of walking on an inverted
plane. The experiment was a private one,
only few persons being present, and was
made under very disadvantageous circum-
stances, the preparations being necessarily in
complete, and the health of Mr.. Mccormick
being somewhat feeble The experiment,
however, passed off to the entire satisfaction
of all present. A heavy frame was erected,
with slab of marble nine feet long at the
top, the under surface being polished like a
mirror We saw the experimenter mount his
platform, and adjust his unwieldly boots
then, placing both feet against the surface of
The marble, he swung himself off with his head
downwaras. Disseminating one foot from
The slab, and placing it firmly several inches
in advance of the other, he continued the al
ternate movement till he had taken ten steps,
and arrived at the other end of the slab.
awe held our breath during the experiment,
expecting momrniarily that he would fall, but
he appeared to walk as safely as 4 fly runs
along the ceiling. After his descent, howev-
or, we noticed that he was much exhausted,
owing to the excitement and eyertinn. The
public exhibition of this wonderful expert
mcnt will take place at the Mr!odcon on
Monday evening next"
