SO rich as the present season in this Sec

PICNIC AT THE REV. JOHN K. J0HNS0N'S
ACADEMY,

THIS affair came off on the 4tl and, MS we learn
from several sources, with flyiy colors. Ofgen-
tlemcn, ladies and children preset, there were from
6 to 800 persons The dinner is sal to have been ex.
ccllent, and all enjoyed the good cheer with de-
gree of harmony and good-feelig worthy the ad-
mration and imitation of evcy assemblage OF
Carolinians. In these days ofitense political ex-
citemcnt, it behoves US to REMEMBER that what.
ever minor doubts may trouble te anxious bosoms
of our people, there is one thing bout which there
can be no douJt--and it is this: Vc are BROTHERS,
by every social and political ti-nnoTnEEs, de-
termined never to sn6mit to Feeral oppression
BROTHERS, prepared to stand orall with our com.
mon mother, South Carolina ,whoever and in what
ever manner she decides to reslt that oppression.
The influence of this high and lure feeling seems
to have been fully felt on Tie occasion Of which
we arc speaking.
The exercises of the school Inhibition were pro-
perly appreciated by the deligled audience. The
farce, "Family Jars was ontof the pieces acted.
Four speeches were delivered by young men Of
the school, all in defence of soarate State action
as the alternative of gubmissid. And the whole
concluded with the aftcr-pec entitled, "Raising

THE FORT AIOULTRIE CELEBRATION AND
ITS EFFECTS.

WE called attention last week to the refusal ofthc
commanding officer at this station to permit the
Moultrie Guards to celebrate their Anniversary ac-
rupted custom. We also adverted to the fact that
q number of citizens, aroused by the insult swarm
ed to the old spot and carried out the celebration
under the every shadow of the Fort" later
mail brings us cheering intelligence Of the proceed
ings Of that occasion. They are full of interest
and we regret being unable to give them to our
readers. Many short, but soul-stirring speeches
were given, all indicating that the feeling Of the
meeting was one of glowing indignation, and Of
burning resolve to do and dare every thing for the
honor of the Palmetto Flag Almost every senti-
ment spoke of determined resistance, rs the only
honorable course left us now to pursue.
Nor was this mere ebullition of feeling in the
nction-ranks alone. 1t was common except among
the real subs; and we venture to say it spread to
all, but the most craven, even Of that moicty.
Among tile prominent gentlemen present, we
perceive the name of Col. ISAAC W. HAYNE, who
is claimed by the advocates of United Secession !!
He was called on by the assembly and responded
III le" splTlcu lcllllThS, III tIc CoiISe VI WIiiC
he said that "hs heart fully sympathiscd" with the
feelings he saw exhibited around him-that "when
he counselcd delay, it was only much delay, and
no more than would make the blow effective"-
that, but'for the danger Of embarrassing friends
&C., the SOONER THE RUDTcoN WAS PASSED, THE
DETER" We hail this circumstance as bright
harbinger The approaching hour when Carolina
shall present that bold and undivided front, which
will carry her triumphantly to successful inde-
pendence. The time is near, we verify believe,
when we shall be enabled to exclaim with perfect
truth, s:Thank God, We are united" The PERRY
Unionists will hide their diminished heads, and
THE STATE, in the phrase of JOHN BuNYAN, "wil
go on her way" despite the terrors and seductons
that may be brought to bear, 10 hold her down in
the slough Of submission Like good old Christian,
she will steadily follow her upward course and
win the prize at last. Excelsior!

Slave bill is only last legislative effort against
that which is more powerful than legislatures
the progress of human affairs. Every acre added
to the territory Of the Union; every frecborn chlio
added to its population, every immigrant thet
lands on its Shores is another weight to the scale
of abolition. Then why, except because they are
dcmented and doomed, do the slave owners take
no steps whatever to prepare for the great day OF
reckoning Why do they assume the perpetual
stability of an institution at variance with the
whole tenor and course of modern civilization
We do not hesitate TO advise them 10 set their
house in order If is harder to do so now than
twas seventy years back, instead of being easier,
as the great statesman of that day hoped and ex-
pccted. If time has hitherto aggravated rather
than removed the enormous difficulties, what will
be the case thirty years hence, when perhaps
there must and will be abolition without either
the slave or his master boing prepared for the
change? The choice lies between gradual and
sudden abolition, and it is for the slave States
themselves to choose which Of those two they
will have-for one they must !n r

esteemed sister and associate, Abbcvile, and we
entreat her, by the memory of McDuFFIE and
NOBLE, to stand boldly forth for the honor, the
sovereignty, the equality or The independence OF
our State! We call upon old Chester TO Danish

another name for abject submission-we cntreat
her to heed the voice Of Edgcicld and to unite up
on the high Carolina ground Of unfinching resis-
tance We call upon Greenville, by the free air
of her blue mountains, to burst the inglorious
shackles of Federal influence and to join in the
holy cause of Carolina deliverance! Wcneed on
ly remind high.toned Old Pendeton, at q time like
the present. that she was the loved home OF CAL

valued city. to heed the united and earnest voice
that now appeals to the high impulses and distin-
guished intelligence of her people-it cries aloud
to Won to save the honor and character of Carolina,
let all else sink! We rejoice that in almost every
other part of South Carolina, the harmonious and
epirited determination of our District will meet
responsive shout of appreciation and delight.
Heaven speed the work Of Union ut home! It's

that it will soon show itself to the world-one and
