GoLD.-How many young men have
left the United States fo- California with
an average of u thousand doliars each?:
Ascertain the number; theL take an
equal number in the workshops and or
the farms, keep them in their pursuits,
but expend thousand dollars in educa-
ting them TO follow those pursuits with
increased efficiency; then estimate the
wealth gained by each class, aud the
means Of its production. and ask whether
the placers of California or the talents
within our youth afford the purer gold!
Ask, too. which of them offers the greater
safety and The more pleasure in the pur-
suit?
A srrightly young mechanic may
qualify himself to conduct his business
with great honor and profit, by expend-
ing thousand dollars and two years in
qualifying himself. We would not, with
such advantages. exchange has situation
for that of the most fortunate returned ad-
venturer who has embarked with like
capital aud for like time upon the bnsi-
ness of gold-hunting. Where gold, has
been obtained, physical and rnorai health
fulness has been lost or greatly jeopardized.

DANIEL WEBsTER's FOURTH OF july
ORATIoN.-The following splendid para.
graph from this great speech is given as
reply by the people to the glowing ad.
dress which he imagined Washington tu
have thought and said upon the occasion
of the laying of the corner stone of the
Capitol as it is.
'.Great father of your country. we heed
your words, we feel their force as if you
now uttered them with lips of flesh and
blood. Your example teaches US; your
aFectionate addresses teach US; your
public life teaches US your sense of the
value of the blessings of the Union
These blessings our fathers have tasted,
aud we have tasted and still taste. Nor
do, we intend that those who come after
US shall be denied the same high fruition.
Our honor as well as our happiness is
concerned We cannot, we dare not, we
will not betray our sacred trust. We
will not fich from prosperity the treasure
placed ia our hands TO be transmitted to
other generations. The bow that gilds
the clouds in the heavens, the pillars that
uphold the armament, may disappear and
fall away in the hour appointed by the
will of God; but until that day comes, or
SO long as our lives may last, no ruthless
hand shall undermine that bright arch
of Union and Liberty which spans the
Continent from Washington to Califor-
MIA.
Fellow-citiZens, we must sometimes
be tolerant TO folly, and patient at the
sight of the extreme waywardness of
men; but | confess that when l reflect on
the renown of our past history, on our
present prosperity and greatness, and on
what The future hath yet to unfold; and
when see that there. are men who
can find in all this nothing good, nothing
valuable, nothing truly glorious, l feel
that all their reason hath fled away from
| them, and left the entire control over their
Judgment and their actions to insane folly
aud fanaticism; and, more than ALL fellow
citizens, if the purposes Of fanatics and
disunionis.s should be accomplished, the
patriotic and intelligen: of our generation
would seek to hide themselves from the
scosn of the world. aud go about 70 fpd
dishonorabie graves.
FellowcitiZ take courage. be o
! good cheer. We shall come to no such
! ignoble end. We shall live, and not die
During the period allotted to our several
lives we shall continue to rejoice in the
return of this Anniversary. The ill-om
ened sounds of fanaticism will be hush
ed; the gfsastly spectres of Secession ant
D1sunlon will disappear, and the enc
mics of united constitutional liberty, i
their hatred cannot be appeased, may

ANr1-SEcEssIoN IN SouTH CAROLINA.
The Greenville Is. C3 Patriot contains
the following brief notice of the celepEa-
tion of the 4th of July, by the Anti-Se'
cessionists in that place. Among the
published proceedings we observe aoie
and spirited letters from Judge Oneai'
Samuel H. Dickson, Hon. J. Il. Polpsets.
w. W. Boyce, Hon. w. G. Preston, and
Hon. VIM. J. Grayson, all condemning
in unequivocal terms. the policy OF sep
arate State action.
A Voice from The Mountains-Ants-

Present.,-We have had a proud day
and a glorious celebration in Greenville.
Long, TOO, will it be remembered by the
thousands and thousands of men. women
and children, who came to it from all
parts Of the District, and from the sur
rounding Districts. Never before have
we had any celebration in Greenvilfe at
all compared to it. Early in the morn-
ing crowds of human beings rolled
through our streets, like the billows of
the ocean. Seats had been prepared for
upwards of thousand persons, in the
beautiful grove east of the courthouse,
but they were all filed before the process
sion reached the stand. In few min
utes afterwards, the whole brow of the
hill presented an ocean of human heads.
The crowd has been estimated at four
thousand persons.
Major Rowland acted as Marshal Of
the day. Vadry EcBee, Esq. the land
grave of our District, who was old enough
and near enough to. hear and remember
the guns of the battle of the Cowpens,
was, on motion Of p. E. Duncan, Esqr,
called 20 the Chair, and Col. Brookman
and c. j. Eford. Esq. were appointed
Secretaries. An appropriate, beautiful,
patriotic and eloquently rious prayer was
offered up at the throne OF Grace by
Rev. VIM. Capers, of the Methodist
Church. and son of Bishop Capers.--.
Capt. J. W. Brooks then read, in loud
and animated tone, the Farewell Address
of Washington. The R.epoSs and Reso-.
lutions. prepared by Committee. were
submitted, though the Chairman, and
unanimously adopted. A patriotic Ode.
from the Rev. Thomas Frean, was then
read, addressed to the "Mountain Men,,
which drew forth bursts of applause
The letters received were mentioned and
exhibited.
Cen Thompson was now called on by
the Chair. and be addressed the vast null.

argument, eloquepce and scathipg sar-
casm, which have been seldom surpassed.
He probed the disease and remedy of Sc.
cession TO the core. Never did a speech
tell better on an audience. All except a
few incurable cases, went off repudiating
secession with all its folly. heresy and
madness. Greenvile knows how TO de-.
Eend her constitutional rights. aud main-

THE AMERICAN IMPRISONED IN AUSTRIA
1t appears that Mr.. Brace, the American
Imprisoned in Austria, was a espon-
dent of the Philadelphia Bulletin. That
paper speaks of him as follows:
MIR. Brace has been travelling over the
Continent for some time past for the pur-
pose of gathering such information of the
social, political and religious condition of
Europe, as would prove useful and in
structive to the American reader. His
letters, which we have from time to time
published in the Bulletin, over the sigma
tnre of &c. f." abounded with much
pleasure. They were extensively copied
throughout the country, and marked for
their high tone and truthfulness.
MIR. Brace, unlike most other European
tourists and correspondents, performed his
journey on foot through the Gifferen:
countries. He preferred the dark side of
the hovel to the bright side of the palace.
He has thus been enabled TO portray in
their true colors the condition OF down
trodden people crushed by the bighting
influence of monarchy. He has thus
the face of hypocrisy, and show naked
to the world the suferings of those who
dare not spurn the yoke which gals them.
His letters throughout have been drawn
in characters too beld not TO be mistak Ell,
and they have not been without their
in6uenc, both at home and abroad. Mr..
Brace has neither plotted nor preached
treason. But he has done worse-in the
eyes of monarchy-told the truth. n
In the pursuit of his business, Mr..
Brace has travelled over those portions of
Hungary, where her bold sons struggled
against overwhelming odds 70 liberty.
He was received with the cordial feeling
Of welcome by the honest, Woodworking
classes with whom he mingled. h'
The Jealous and blood SLOT eye of Aus
tria was now on him, and he was mar
rowly watched at every turn. In the
goodness Of their hearts some of the per-
sons whom Mr. Brace had become ac-
quainted with, were SO we'll pleased with
his afable manners and gentlemanly de-
pertinent, that they gave him letters Of
introduction to their friends
The Austrian emissaries, already jea-
lous of the attentions he had received,
seized these harmless letters as a preteXt
to cast him into prison. An accusation
must needs be trumpted up, but it is so.
lame and impotent, that we are almost
ashamed to own tina: in the nineteenth
century-and in a country that has some
preteusions to civiliZation-an innocent
and harmless man, thousands Of miles
away from home and kindred-has been
shut up in dungeon, because pamph
let was found in his carpet bag, and he
took circutous routes to visit the people
he desired to see. This. the Austrian
Government construes into revolution
ary movement We have not in atrocity,
in thus depr.ving a man of his Liberty,
a parallel case since the dark days Of the
Inquisition. "The thief doth fear each
bush an officer" and acting on this fear
the Austrian Government has committed
an outrage on all American citizen, which
it will yet, we trust, be called on to ans
wer for.

AMERICAN DRINKS AT PARIs-We go
to Paris for fashions of dress but Ameri-
can drinks are becoming the rage in that
gay city. Sherry cobers, mint juleps,
and brandy smashes have astonished and
delighted multitudes of the gay French
meu. The Tribune describes the advent
of these seductive beverages in the city
of follies in the following rather racy
manner:
"Sherry coblers have arrived at Paris
direct from New York. In fact they
have been here long enough to be quite
domesticated, and to have turned many
an honest penny for the Caie where they
are exhibited Their successful trans
plantation was for some time doubtful.
The French were shy and dubious But
the Americans, true to the traditions of
early years, and remembering that mint
is good thing in its way, and that ice,
lemon-peel, and sherry. make fragrant
drink, rushed manfuly to the rescue. till
the French apostates to the national
acme nzSSe, and converts to the true be-
lIet, took to the imported beverage with
true Mussulation fervor. But they
hardly understood it at first. The pre-
dominance of ice over liquid and the ex-
act part to, be played by tie straw. IN the
mixture, were puzzling circumstances
The other evening Partisan, under
the guidance of a fellow citizen Of the
sherry cobler, seated himself at green
table, preparatory to, making his first es-
say, seduced by the placard Of american

placed his lips upon his straw, in imila-
ton of his companion, and remained for
a moment in unbroken silence. Sudden

HE ALLEGED FRAUD ON THE GOVERN
MENy.-In reference to this mattes, the
Washington correspondent Of the Charles
, ton Courier. in his letter Of the 4th inst,
says.
The newspapers of New York and
this city have gwen us something of the
gossip about DR.. Gardener and his big
claim. 1t has been very recently alleged
that he got his amount of four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars by means Of
forged evidence. Much sensation was
produced here by the confident assertion
of this fact, and for the reason that many
highly respected. persons were, concerned
with DR.. Gardener in the prosecution of
the claim and participated in it's avails.
But there is nothing whatever in the sto-
ry. It is evidently false in some OF. its
particulars, and is improbable in ALL
The story was this: A Monsieur Porte
who formerly resided in Mexico, and mas
upon this Government the famous tobac-
co claim, which this Government will
not pay, stated in New York, the other
day, that DR.. Gardener had told him that
his award was obtained from the Mexi-
can Board upon false evidence; that he
did not care who knew it, because he
had been fleeced by his agents, counsel,
and others, through whom he got the
award; that he had received but eighty
tho!'sahd dollars, and was going to Eau
rope to spend it, and was not to return.
Al! this gossip was written by various per-
sous to the President, and was published
as undisputed facts in some newspaper,
and upon inquiry. is is found to be un-
worthy of any notice.
1t is known and ascertained here, that
DR.. Gardner received two hundred and
FIFTY thousand dollars for his share of the
spoil; that his funds are here OH deposit;
that he took with him funds for brief
excursion only, and that he was TO return
i'll a month or two. Besides, Porte did
not tell the story till after Gardner had
sailed for Liverpool" 49,
We learn from a New York despatch
in the Evening Picayune. that Mr. Porte,
the Puebla tobacco merchant, denies that
he ever asserted that the claim of DIR.
Gardner was fraud He believes the
whole story to be a hoax

A Serere Rebuke.-A law of Alabama
provides that every free negro who shall
have come to Alabama since the 1st of
February, 1882, and shall have been adj
monlshed by any sheriff, &c, that he
cannot remain in the State, and shall not
within thirty days thereafter depar: from
the same, shall, on CONVICTION, be pun
ished by Imprisonment in the penitentia-
ry for two years.
In referring to this law the N. 0. Plea
yune states that free negro named
CaHman mad lived III Mobile, as free
man from 1926 to 1850, when he wen;
to Ohio, with his wife and children, to
enjoy the privileges of free State. He
subsequently, returned to Mobile. and
though repeatedly warned under the
statute. remained to abide the conse
queuces. He stated that he found him
self unable to get along in Ohio. He
was treated no better than at home. he
could obtain no work to do; and he ac-
corcingly volunteered to return to slave
State. and risk the penalty of the peni-
tertiary, rather than to attempt to live
among the Aboitionists, He was warn
ed to leave the State; he would rot do it,
Alter he was indicted, the Solicitor OF
the State offered 10 withdraw the prose-
cutlon if he would go away. His own
counsel advised him to accept the offer,
aad thus escape the penalty. He was
intiexlble. He had tried free State, and
WoIld rather stand the hazard of the
penltentlary in Alabama, than trust to
Inc tender mercies of Ohio abolitionism.
Inc Jury gave him the benefit of a legal
aoEnlbt, whether he had ever intended to
,eave the State permanently, and found
h'ul not guilty on the ground that he had
Aot lost his legal residence.
