From the Montgomery (Alu.) Advertiser.I
South Carolina.


As the political position of the Palmetto
State is one of peculiar interest and attrac-
ton at this time, we insert below, an account
of speech delivered by one of her Senators
Mt Elgefeld Court House, a few days ago
the Hon. A. P. Butler. We take it from the
Edgefield Advertiser, the editor of which is
brother-in-law Of the Senator-a staunch
advocate of separate secession. In connec-
ton with this speech, we would state that
Gen. Wallace and Mr.. Orr, two Congressman
from the same State, are reported to have
made speeches to their constituents lately.
in which they took ground similar to that Of
Senator Butler. These things are not agree
able to many Of lis who are prepared to
back South Carolina at any cost, but it is
important that they should be known. So
II appears that there are serious divisions
even in that gallant little State, as TO her
true policy in the present emergency. South
Carolina not united-but divided It strikes
our ear with ominous forebodings-almost
with terror; something akin TO that awful
sound of "Le Garde recule" to the "yrand
army" OF the emperor on the field of Wa
terioo. When that noble State-now the
last hope of the South-shall have bowed
to Northern tyranny and oppression by -
quiet submission, then indeed may the South
speedily prepare for that terrible catastro-
phe that surely awaits her-tlle abolition Of
slavery not only in the District of Columbia,
but in the!s e!states. May the Great Ruler Of
nations nerve her sons to take that course
which is the only salvation Of herself or the
South. II the pusillanimiiy of the other
Southern States shall induce them to with
hold their cooperation, then let her act
alone; and her devoted sons. scattered far
and near over the whole South and West,
will, it need be, rally to her standard and
uphold her honor. She has children enough
without her borders to drive off every ner-
oenaryf invader that may polIutc her soil
And where is the South CnroIinian that
would not respond to the calls Of his native

The Montgomery Advertiser of the J. 5th
instant, makes the following remarks On the
political indications of this State. They
have significance that canuot he too care
fully weighed. At the same time, we give
to our able and respected cotemporary the
assurance, that unless we have grossly mis-
conceived oil the evidences of public feeling
and conviction. the spirit of South Carolina
is not shaken; the Guard recoils not; and
when the :;1ie foT decisive action comes, nil
that has been promised will be faithfully and
tearlessly performed Charleston Mercuyy.

SONG OF THE CAROLINA GIRL.
BY 4 LADY.

b1 n Lady.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory:
There's many gallant decd to tell
In Cardinals story;
Her valiant sons have won them names,
Among the great of earth;
And children, from the crude, learn
To lisp Of Southern birth.
Our hearts are with our native land
There's none earth above her;
Her sons are rarc-hcr daughters fair
And then they dearly love her!
Lc; others boast Of what'they peasc,
To hocd them we're unwilling;
Well have our "Southern rights and case,
And grudgc them not shilling s.,4
We love our gallant barque of State,
And sadly should we mourn her,
If ON her halow'd deck appeared
The seinblance Of dshonor;
But no! her SONS are true as brave,
And full of native feeling;
The fosterings of Southern Sun.
Were never fond of knecling!
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory;
She hath many namc that's now unknown,
VIII live in classic story:
Her sages, and her poets too,
Have ]it the sacred fire;
And the genius of Southern sun
Will fan its b!azes higher.
We love our reverend Futhers gray
We love our virtuous Mothers
The need Of that ungelc grace,
We will not yield 10 others;
For chastity and modest worth,
And pure domestic bliss,
Have never worn u sweeter smile
In any land than this!
Our heorts nre with our native land,
And mover. shall degrade her
Her fow'ry vsiea md snnny hills
Are not for The invader r,i 'cs>=,-s'J
And deariy an W. 9Srisc the charms = -.
Which heaven has kindly sent us,
Wen give them freely. heart and hand,
With love TO her defenders.

PROFESSIONAL LucK.--The merest chance

practices without his possessing talent, whilst

that an eminent physician OF London owes

element under which lie labored. He fol-

Early History of America.

1t has ever been to us matter of sur
prise, as well us regret, that no authentic ac-
count should have been left of the exiedi-
ton of De Soto. 1t was begun on large
scale, under distinguished chicftains, and con-
sisted Of more than thousand men, whose
martial renown, and complete equipments,
excited vnst expectations. Still, we have
known little beyond the landing of DE Soto
at Tampa Bay, and the melancholy denoue-
menf. We are most agreenbly surprised,
therefore, in finding a letter in the New
York Herald, dated Rome, 4th March.
From that letter it appears there have
been discovered number Of manuscripts
connected with the early history OF our coun-
try, which will throw much light upon what
has heretofore been buried in obscurity.-
These manuscripts, so far, comprise twenty
five packages or volumes. Mr.. Cass, our
Minister, accidentally discovered one of these
volumes. and has followed up the examina
ton, which has resulted in tho above discov-
cry. The principal collection belongs 10 the
manuscript library of the Dominican Monks,
and is contained in we'll arranged parcels,
sewed mp in vellum covers, probably about
the time they were written, each containing
materials for large volume.
The result, THUS far, has induced Mr.. Cass
TO extend the examination to the archives of
the Vatican, with hopes of making impor-
tant additions. Each volume bas not been
thoroughly examined, but enough has been
:tscertaincd to say, that they comprehend the
early reports made by the missionaries of
TIE Spanish, French and Italian Nations, and
have reference to the Canadas, He Valley
of the mississippi, mud FfofidaAindeed, to
tho whole territory which surrounded the
thirteen original States of our Union. The
author of one Of these volumes, or manu-
scripts, accompanied De Soto for two years
in his memorable expedition through Florida,
and along the banks of the Mississippi, and
will 10 doubt furnish US, in the simple Ian
guage Of an eye witness, with correct de-
tail Of the discoveries and adventures of one
in relation to whom SO much of the strange
and marvellous has been written. In other
volumes there is series of letters by Padre
Vitellis, priest attached to the band of La
Selle, that child of chivalry, rs he was called,
who traversed the Canadas throughout their
entire extent, and portion of our North
western country. In the researches and in
restigations which have been made in Euro
Tean libraries by Irving, Prescott. Sparks
and others, 10 such important acquisitions
have been made for the calculation of our
history as these manuscripts. 1t is to be
hoped that these manuscripts will be thor
oughly examined and brought to light
They will no doubt elucidate fully the long
period Of sixty-five years, during which the
French had possession Of Mobile and the in
terror of Alabama and Mississippi-a period
that is now involved in almost total dark
uess.-N. o. Crescent.

tisehieht Ill aliotlef column, IT Will be seen
that the Board Of Directors of the North
Carolina Institution for the Deaf and Dumb,
have determined to introduce department
for the Blind.
1t was the original intention of the Leg
islature to afford facilities for the instruction
Of the Blind as well us the Deaf and Dumb.
This has been delayed heretofore, in order
that one depn,tmen might he fully organ
lied before the other was introduced. This
department will be supplied with the most
competent teachers, both in the intellectual
and musical courses Of instruction. The
whole Institution, including the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind, will be under the su-
perintendence Of the present Principal, thus
having the advantage Of bit one head, who
will consult the interests Of both alike.
The Session willcommence on the fifteenth
day Of July; and parents or guardians lnav-
ing Blind children whom they wisl, to enter,
should apply as soon as possible to w. d.
Cooke, Principal of the Institution, who will
give all the necessary information ON the sub
ject. Many of those who have blind or deaf
and dumb children, not huving access to the
public papers, remain in Ignorance Of the
munificence of the State, in providing the
means of education for their unfortunate
offspring, and are therefore deprived Of tie
blessings in store for them. .a
Reader! do you know of any deaf and
dumb or blind person within the range Of
your acquaintance2 a very little exertion
on your part may secure to you the gratiti-
cation Of having been instrumental in rescu-

New STYLE OF HAIR. DnEssIs o.-The
n. Y. Mirror says, that large proportion
Of the ladies of that city have adopted a
new style Of wearing the hair. It is called
the Jenny Lind Lift, and is 80 arranged as to
lift the hair above the temples, thereby Civ
ing the phrenologists peep, as 'twere, be-
hind the curtain of some very Interesting
localities. 70 a certain class Of faces, says
the Mirror, the style is quite becoming, but
to the majority Of ladies, i is decidedly 9th
erwise-giving them a bold, barefaeed look,
reminding one Of obstinate .. .cow wlcksr upon
the side Of the forel,ead, IT. this Is the same
style that has been iin vogue here, about q
year. and which, we believe, originated here,
We quite agree with the Mirrors ,essmste.--.
