TO our sister associations in the middle and
upper districts we would also respectfully sug-
gest the importance Of being fully represented
in the proposed convention. Whatever its ac-
ton may be, it must and will have great weight
in the councils Of the State with regard to her
future action. 1t need no argument to prove
this. for by the organization Of these associa-

organs of popular sentiment upon this question.
Being a meeting, therefore, which must con-
Germ every section and every portion of our
people, we trust no association will fail to
send its representatives Caroinian.
The correspondent of the Laurensville Her
aid thus notices the late showing up of that
renegade and blackguard Sam Houston: "Mr.
Rhett aud Judge Butler have done one good
thing: 4 day or two ago they scared one
Democratic aspirant out of the city. Gen.
Samuel Houston. Mr. Rbett charged him with
l;lsehood, in six different points, in his recent
attack on South Carolina Institutions. Hous-
ton nabsolutcly paled beneath the bearing Of your
gallant Senator, aud when Judge Butler rose.
he manifested a trepidation that has los him
the confidence of many devoted friends in The
Senate. There was some danger that Hous.
ton might create division in the Democ' attic camp
by his aspirations, but there is none now
Rhett and Butler have utterly demolished the
hero of San Jacinto. He fled the next day in

Memphis and Charleston Rail Road.--The
Memphis Eagle states that at the last accounts
from New.O Orleans, Gov. Jones had obtained
subscriptions to the amount Of 100000 inthat
city, to this great enterprise. rsgs,,
Several of our. own citizens, that paper in
forms us, had gwen assurances to Gov. Jones,
that Charleston is ready to subscribe literally.
The opinion appears to be gaining ground IN
all quarters, even with those who prefer New
Orleans as the great importing metropolis of
the South. The completion of the Road to
Memphis will divert large portion OF the trade
now going on between the Western merchants
and the Northern cities, to Charleston. .r-...

A Neu Kind Of Fence.-Mr. John r REM
ingtoll, Of Montgomery, Alabama, (the inventor
of the. Remingtons, Erial Bridge has patens
ted new and useful invention. 1t is a crmcmf,
for .making solid fences, as. durable as grauate,
and at very reasonable cost of construction.
The chief in yredent is sand, and it can be ca
silly manufactured by plantation hands. The
cement panels are conveyed to the spot where
the fence is located, aud the two legs of each
let into the ground like common posts. Tue
cost to the planter is estimated at 10 cents per
panel of ten feet by five four inches thick
ar cheaper than the wire fence. II does not or
ut least should not detract from the merit of this
INVENTION that it halls from Alabama, this time,
rather than from Maine or Pcnnsy lvauia, or
hat the modest little town of Montgomery veu-
ures competition with the great manafactu-
Ing cities Of the East for the honor of origna.

Bring your Heart into your Family Circle
We sometimes meet with men who seem to
hink that any indulgence in an atfectionate
ceiling is a weakness. They will return from
journey, and greet their family with 4 distant
lightly, aud move among; their children with
he cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg. sur.
ounded by its broken fragments. There is
ardly a more unnatural sight on earth, than
me of those families without heart. A faith.

way his heart Who that has experienced the
oys of friendship, and values sympathy and
Election, would not rather lose all that is beau.
tul in natures scenery, than be robbed of the
idden treasure of his heart! Cherish, then,
our hearts best affections. Indulge in the
warm and gushing emotions of filial, parental,
