factory. There is a school attached to it, of 10
scholars. All the children employed in the mill,

From brief excursion into Georgia, we have re-
turned to look after the killed and wounded Of the
remarkably rebellious Southern Rights Convention,
lately held in this city. The effects of that con-
vention throughout the State are also remarkable.
The proceedings and the debates have set men to
thinking; and unanm Gus was the action of the
convention, the State is not unanimous for seces-
sion by separate State action for secession
by cooperation with the other Southern States just
ut this time.
There are three parties in South Carolina -
1. The separate State action party, in favor Of
seeding alone, and as soon az possible.
2. The wait-awhie party, who think it best to
postpone the act of secession, until by the continued
aggressons of the North the other Southern States
win be compelled to form a league with South Ca
rolna for Southern confederacy.
3. The Union party, commonly called, here, the
submission party-or the party who are for the
Union first, and the protection Of slave property
afterwards.
The secession party is, by all odds, the most ac-
tive, unanimous, and energetic party in the State
comprising the mass OF tho young men ambitious OF
glory, lift be that old hackneyed sort Of glory
called military glory; and really outraged beyond
forbearance at the tampering OF Congress and the
North with Southern rights. Among their leaders
are such men as Mr. Rhett, Mr.. John A. Calhoun,
Colonel Wade Hampton, General Adams, Cover
nor Seabrook, Mr.. Colcock, General Wallace, Mr..
MQueen, and others, among the wealthiest, the
ablest, and most influential men Of the State They
are the dominant party, and hold the destiny Of the
State in their hands. They are decided for seces-
sion; but much may be done to prevent il in IN in
terval of six months armistice; and much, on the
other hand, to insure the separate secession OF
South Carolina.
The State elections, North and South, the meet
ing Of Congress, and the procee ings IN that body
and the intrgues for the Presidency at Washington,
will have much TO do in settling the policy OF South
Carolina. With anything like the shadow Of an
additional provocation, the seceders could carry
their point at once and rally the whole State TO
support the overt act.

them in the work Of secession. OF this party are
such men as Judge Butler and Mes5rs. Barnwell
Owens, and Langdon Cheves. This latter gentle
man, SO conspicuous at Nashville in both the
Southern Rights Conventions held there, in favor
Of combined movement Of the Southern states,
recoils at the idea Of south Carolina moving alone
He possesses rice plantation on the Savannah
river, the border river between this State and
Georgia, and the product Of this plantation last
year was s60, 000 ms we arc informed. And this is
but one Of several highly productive plantations
With such interests on the border, however, we
can hardly wonder AT Mr. Cheves opposing the act
Of revolution by South Carolina alone. lie is,
notwithstanding, firm believer in a Southern con-
federacy, while Judge Butler, we suspect, has
old-fashioned prejudice in favor Of staying in the
Union az long az it can be tolerated. The wait
awhile party is a very respectable party; bu. il in
the minority in all except three or four districts,
including Charleston, which, by the way, exercises
an immense power over the politics Of the State,
although completely overwhelmed in the late con.
vention. Next winter, IL is very likely the division
will be much closer between these two parties.
