Whether the circumstances are such as
to demand immediate action on our part,
and whether we should be right in resort

honor, are questions for the impartial
voice of posterity to determine.
Being thus alike situated, we heartily

the footsteps of the noble sons of South
Carolina, we gladly extend the hand of
fellowship to all in whom a spirit of love

aware of the many blessings our Govern
ment secures to US, let US seek, by peace

bic adherence to its Constitution in the
future. If this, but shadowy hope, can
be realized and our rights restored, we
proudly and confidently assert that the
Southern man will be the last to harbor
the sentiment or utter the cry of disun-

Col. Fremont in California.

A Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y. Herald, writing from the capital under
date of the 9th inst, says that Col. FIRE.
mont will remain in California till next
winter. At the last advices he was at
Ciudad de Los Angels, while his family
were at San Francisco, some FIVE hundred
miles further up the coast. Hhis immense
land claim has been disposed of. The
district of country embraced in this
claim, lies in the gold region: and besides
its rich mineral wealth, is said to be high
ly productive in agricultural products.
The agent of Fremont has disposed of this
claim Of forty-five thousand acres of gold
washings, mines and arabic lands to Lon
don company, for some so per acre, or
an aggregate of nearly one million of dol
lars, and this in the face Of the alleged in
sufficiency of Fremont's title, and Of the
Board of Commissioners who have to pass
upon it. The sale is subject to the rati-
fication of Fremont, of which there is no
reason to doubt.
One object in disposing Of his lands is
to get rid Of the trouble of their manage
ment, SO that the owner may turn his at.
tention more directly to the completion
of his geography of the United States, be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the Pa
cifc, portion of the continent which.
until his explorations in lS43-4'5, was
as much terra incogaita as the heart of
Africa. Several scientific societies of Bel
gium and Germany have written to him
that they are waiting and still expecting
something more at his hands.
All these things we state on the author
ity Of the Herald's correspondent, who,
moreover, adds that Mrs. Fremont has
introduced fine, vigorous young Califor-
nian into the family, who gives already
considerable promise of noise in the world,
and that mother and child are doing re-
markably well. II Is said that the happy
event was on the uight Of the disastrous
fire in San Francisco, and that the family
were making preparations TO move, TO es-
cape the flames, when the conflagration
took favorable turn, and they escaped
the widespread devastation Of that fearful
night.
The same writer says there is no infor-
nation from California justifying the idea
that Fremont intends TO abandon the con-
test for the Senate. On the other hand,
it is his intention TO fight it out.

GEN QUITMAN's RECEPTION at RIPLEY
RIPLEY, August 4th 1851.

RIPLEY, August 4th 1851.
Mr.. EDIroR:
Gen. Quitman arrived on the evening
of the 29th ultimo, at the hospitable man
sion of Aaron Bryant Esqr, Ito which he
had been specially invited by its liberal
proprietor) 4 miles south of Ripley. At
half past s O'Clock, on the morning of the
30th, he was met two miles from town, by
a long procession of horsemen, preceded
by the FLAG OF THE MARSHALL
GUARDS. with music, under the COM
mand of Col. R. N. Christian chief Mar
shall ofthe day.
John w. Thompson Esq, made pithy,
pertinent and forcible address to Gen.
Quitman, in behalf of the company there
assembled.
Mr.. Thompson, among other good
things, said, that however much the peo-
pie might respect Gen. Quitman as gen.
tleman, and venerate his fame, as a war;
rior, yet the present testimonials of re-
spect were offered to him as the GREAT
CHAMPION OF S SOUTHERN RIGHTS.
That he, Gen. Quitman had once storm
ed the gates of Belen, with 40 men, that
the company there assembled were as
firm and unfaltering in the cause of State
Rights, as the soldiers were brave that
he had led on that occasion.
Gen. Quitman evinced much feeling.
He replied in fine style and remarked that
he was truly gratifed and surprized at the
turning out in such numbers Of the citizens
of Tippah. He had been informed that
not as many as a 'Corporaps guard could
be found to espouse the cause of State
Rights in the 'County of the Hills" That
he had around him, force with which he
would dare to charge any fortress; and
that the glorious cause of State Rights
should never be sullied by his hands.
After the two addresses, the procession
reformed and marched back to town. On
entering the public square. Gen. Quitman
was welcomed by National salute Of Is
guns, from beautiful 4 FOUNDER brought
from Holly Springs for the occasion. The
procession was marched around the public
square. Gen. Quitman was conducted
by the CHIEF Marshall to the Hotel Of our
enterprizing fellow citizen, Lamberth,

by the ladies and hundreds Of his fellow,
citizens. He addressed the audience in :

eject. Itwas received with great enthu.

Gov. Quitman.

We direct attention to the letter giving
an account of Gen. Quitman's reception
at Ripley. Wherever he goes he is re-
ceived with enthusiasm and the most hear
ty greeting. The people are converting
his electioneering tour through the State
into triumphal march to the gubernato-
rial chair.

Papier Mache.

The manner of manufacturing this nateri-
al. of which so great a variety OF beautiful ar
ticles are made, Is thus described by the New
York Euening Post: The article obtains its
name from The prepared paper which forms
the principal material in It's composition
This paper, which is cut into the required
size and shape, is made of the consistency of
the hardest wood by sleeping in oil, after
which it is left TO dry in an oven. When the
required time has elapsed, it is removed, and
left in the oren air for some minutes, when
coat Of refined black varnish is laid over
the surface. Before this varnish has become
dry, pieces of pearl cut in the form Of leaves,
roses and other flowers, as the fancy of Ihs
artist may dictate, or the character Of the
article may require, are laid on The paper, TO
which they adhere, and which is again
placed in the oven.
When il has been removed the second
time, another coat of varnish is applied on
tile surface Of me pearl and paper indlscrlml-
nately. The varnish, when 1t has had sufh-
cIenI time TO dry, is scraped off the pearl,
and the same process is repeated several
times, until all parts Of the surface is made
quite even. THIS gives the pearl the appear
ance Of having been inlaid. The article,
which is still in an unfinished stute, after
a thorough polish, has 10 be submitted TO
The hands Of an artist, upon whose skill its
beauty in great degree depends. Under
his hands, the piece of pearl, but roughly
formed, is soon converted into full blown
flower, surrounded by its leaves and buds.
The branches are first traced out with
eamers hair pencil, dipped in size, upon
which gold leaf is afterwards laid. Then
follows The painting Of The flowers and leaves.
line colors of which are rendered almost
indelible by the application of second coat
of refined white varnish. Persons who have
seen papier mache articles have no doubt
been struck with the natural appearances
given 10 the leaves and flowers by the pearl,
the brilliancy of which endures all incredible
length Of time.

Black Laws of Indiana and Ken.
tuckV,

The Constitutional Convention of Indiana
has had the subject of avs in relation 10 the
blacks in that State under consideration, and
very stringent act has been reported to the
Convention
The first section provides that no negro or
lnulato shall come into the State after The
adoption OF he Constitution, passed, "a 10 40
The second section, making all contracts
with them void, and filming all persons EN-.
ployng them not less than ten. nor more
than five hundred dollars, passed 7S TO SO.
The Ih'rd section, appropriating the fines
collected under this article to the colonial
ton of the negroes now in the State, passed
100 10 49,
The filth section, providing that the Leg
lslature shall pass laws necessary TO carry
out this negro article, passed, without the ayes
and noes.
The sixth section, requiring the separate
submission of this article TO the people-"Ex-
cluslon and colonization of negroes and mu-
lattaes aye of no." passed, 80 "a.
In kentncky n severe bill has rece ntly
passed the popular branch of the Legislature
1t bears with great severity upon free negroes
aud mulatloes.
The Louisville Journal denounces the bill
as ciuel. uncalled for and unpolitic-that it
is black with injustice and inhumanity--and
that if il becomes law, it will be bolt on
the State LegisIature-a disgrace 10 the peo-
pie of Kentucky. The Journal further says,
that if the object Of the Legislature were to
make the free negroes as worthless as pos
sble, it could not have devised a sure exped-
lent than this bill. The Legislature are re-
minded that even in South Carolina, arccent
effort to Iegislate to the injury Of the free
negroes was snmmarily disposed of-that in
that State, where ulIraism pervals so lamen-
tnbly, the various churches vie with each
other in extending the benefits Of religious
ustrcciion to the negroes of all conditions -
and tie Journal hopes that the Kentucky
Legislature will be as wise that of Sourh
Carolina.

A Rencontre with a Whale,

1he following statements OF The exploits
OF a whale, and his attack upon a vessel, is
abstrac,ed from the protest of Capt. Joseph
Dias, of the whale ship 'Pocahontas,' of It's
bury, made before the United States Consul,
at Rio de Janeiro, in January, 1851. 1t is
SAID to be the second instance known OF n
direct attack on vessel by whale. The
other was The ship Essex, in the Pacific,
which was entirely lost. Capt. Dias stares
that on the IL of December, 1850. in latitude
ABOUT 33 deg. AZ min. s.. and longitude 4S
