This ume.houo,vt day viii coon ,isii u'
again. Il IS lime that The people begin to
consider what reception they shall give H.
Bv reference 10 the appointments Of Col
Davis and she Hon A. q. Brown, IL viii be
perceived hat they expec, ODE With Us on
that dav. Their announcement says they
wish 10 "azl1essh thar sklOte-1fisea GA
pa,ties" The speeches viii BE % the whole
people, upon the great questions which IN
serest them as a nation. There is no one
who would more s~trenuously oppose a par
~ DISCUSSION on this revered day than eoL
Davis and Gov. Brown, themselves but
they consider-and Justly, too-that a iree
people can celebrate the anniversary other
liberty in no more appropriate manner han
that of reasoning together upon the best
and mos, efficient mode of perpetuatIng That
liberty. The appointment Of these gentle
tIemen to be with us on the 4th. was purely
accidental but even if it were Intentional,
there would be a precedent found IN the
fact that the late anniversary of Gen. Wash
ington was observed by the holding of I'm
ion meetings throughout the country. But
we presume there is no n so fastldious as
to object to hearing our national Legislators
speak on national questions on our nation
al day.
We will here state a suggestion which
has been made to us, and which we highly
approve of. 1t is this That a delegation
from each precinct in the county meet at
the Courthouse in WoodviIle IN Tuesday
next, and determine upon the place anc
manner Of giving a general Barbecue and
Brandance, to which the citizens of the adj
joining Counties and Parishes be invited
An arbor for dancing may be erected a shorI
distance from the place of speaking. where
those who prefer it, can open the dance a:
early as they please, without in!errup;ins
the speakers.
Although. we are not authorized to STATE
positively, that Col. Davis and Gov. Brown
would consent to divide their time between
speakers on the opposite side, yet we have
no doubt that they would readily do SO, j
it was desired by'any portion of the audience
If this suggestion suits the public, it woult
be well to have as generals meeting as pos
sible, on Tuesday, so that the proper com
mittees may be appointed. ia ..IH

PunLLo ExEcUTIoN.-The sentence of
death was executed upon Milly Fox-the
slave convicted on the charge Of poisoning
the family of Mr.. VIM. Dowty-on Satur'
day last. 1t has been a long time since a
public execution has occurred in this coun-
.ty. A law of the lat legislature gives to
the Board OF Police. the power TO order a
public execution where it is thought the ex-
ample may prove beneficial. A large num-
bor ofnegroes from own and country Assem-
bled to witness the execution. .
Whether justice has been asserted by the
hanging of Milly, is somewhat doubtful -
but the evidence given against her was so
conclusive that the jury could not do other
wise than convict her. From the day of
arres ITO her last moment, she declared her
innocence of the crime. She said that the
poison had been administered by another ne
gro woman, who was jealous Of her, and
who intended to destroy her Milly's life
She continued to charge the woman with
having sworn falsely against her. MilIy
seemed willing, and even anxious to die,
expressing her assurance that she was going
to o better world. tssbjs3l'j aa r

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN.

ability He proclaimed himselfopposed to a dissolution
of the Union but failed to lay down any political chart
by which he would be guided, other than the general

SOUTH CARoL1NA.-The election of Delegates
to the Southern Congress comes off in South
Caro- lima on the 18th of October The Seces.
sioni.ts, it appears, are divided amongst them
selves-not as to the propriety of the step itself
but with regard to separate State action. Some
of the most distinguished in the State believe
that the time for secession has not yet come; that
the cooperation of a majority of the Southern
States is absolutely necessary to the successful
issue of the measure, and that it is best to wait
for further aggressions, in the hope that if they
be attempted, or made, the Southern States may
present united front. On the other hand, Sem
ator Rhett, Governor Means, Gen. Wallace and
others, contend that immediate secession, or Sc
cession after waiting reasonable time" for the
cooperation of other States, is indispensable to
the safety and honour of the State. The cleo
ton in October will probably decide the relative
strength of these two parties. If the immediate
secessionists prevail at the polls, Senator Rhett
& Co. will undoubtedly contend that they have
already waited reasonable time," and Will at
once undertake the hazardous enterprise of Sc
ceding from the Union.

Progress ofthe Danuills Railroad.

For the information of planters and farmers
on the line o. the Richmond and Danve Rail-
road, we are glad to state some facts in which
they are particularly interested. We returned
yesterday evening to the city by the railroad, and
saw the Appomattox bridge, about which there
is 30 much inquiry in the country, as well as 3
good portion of the track beyond that river. The
piers of the bridge are complete and the abut-
ments on either side so far advanced that the
work of erecting the bridge itself Gan iron one)
is already commenced. We learned from the
Chief Engineer that locomotives and trains may
be expected to pass over within three weeks
The track is laid to point about one mile and a
half from Amelia Court House, and will be laid
beyond the Court House by the time the bridge
is finished
The Chief Engineer expects the laying of the
track to advance at the rate of ten miles month
as soop as trains laden with materials can pass
the Appomattox. The road ought, therefore, to
be in operation as far as Jennings Ordinary, thir-
teeu miles beyond Amelia Court House, in less
than two months, and to the Junction in shor
time after. We believe these anticipatons may
be relied on as we'll founded, and would therefore
suggest to such farmers as have wheat, which
they now think it impossible to send to market
the expediency of keeping it with the view Of
waggoning it to the Junction, or to Jennings Or
binary. The railroad freight to the latter point.
