FOR THE ADVERTISER.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT,

AT regular meeting of CoScoRDA LoDdE, No.
so, on the 18th inst, the following preamble and
resolutions, were passed.
l.. Whereas it hath pleased the Almighty to remove
from us our beloved brother OLIVER TowLEs,
who died at his residence in this District, on Wed.
nesiay, tic 9th Of thia month, Of Typhoid Fever.
As M evidence of the love and affection we cher.
ish for his memory, and as feeble testimonial OF
o,r grief at his loss,-bc it
Rcsolrcd That in the death Of our brother
TowLEs, the order Of Ancient Free hlasoEs has
los, noble and shining light. and this Lodge has
been deprived Of ore o. its most useful and honored
members.
Rcsolued, That we tender oar heartfelt sympa-
,hy to his mourning widow, and minglc orr sor'
row with hers, in her sad bcreavmcnt
Rcsolrcd, That. in orle. to testify to the love
we bore our brother, and TO evince our grief and
humility at the great loss we have sustained, VIC
wear the badge Of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved. That these resolutions be recorded on
the Journals of the Lodge, that n copy be sent to
the family Of our deceased brother, and thrt pub

MONUMENT TO COL, P. M. BUTLER.

4 call is made upon the survivors of the Pal
metto Regiment to meet in Columbia upon the 10th
August, the anniversary OF Churubusco. The
principal object is to make arrangements for erect
ing n monument to their beloved commanGcr-and
u noble object it is! Why it has not been done
before (not BY the Palmcttos, but by tine State.)
we have been ever ut loss to understand. The
body which once held the bold spirit of our Patriot
Hero, lies in grave, unmarked by single tribute
to the memory of the departed This has not been
the result of forge.fulncss ingratituc; for many
tear has mostcncd that simple grave and many
n bosom has hcaved sigh of sadness end regret
while viewing it. No, it cannot be wiful neglect.
But it will become so, if we yield not to the i'm
pulse Of honor md duty at an early day. The
opportunity il offered. Let us join "the orphan
band," in raising worthy memorial TO him who
was ''lhe Father of his Regiment"
We would suggest to the members of the Reg-
ment in each District to appoint several Of tFcir
number tc receive subscriptions until the day OF
their.mccitng in Columbia.
We arc sure it will not be in vain.
Since pcnning the above, the notice of Capt.
Brooks has come to hand-!o which We invite
the attention Of the members of Company "D."

HAMBURG REPUBLICAN,.

SOME pointed comments, on ore Of the Green
vile resolutions, were clipped by US from this
paper ior insertion in ours Of this week; but, like
several other good things, the extract is crowded
out. We take occasion however to claim tho
merit of our intention, and to say TO our District
co-tcmporary-"Go on and prosper" five once
wrote rather lightly Of our Hamburg friends, it
was only in The way Of political controversy, and
VIC trust they all regard tin this light. They
have settled one point our complete satisfaction,
and it is this: Messrs. GREGG and BoYcE, how
ever skilful in manufacturing cotton fabrics, can
never become The manufacturers Of public opinion
for the intelligent md Independent people Of Edge
field. However imposing their influence may be
elsewhere, here, in the back-woods, lis "no CO."
Hamburg is vet likely to prove as determined upon
secession, after failure Of cooperation, as AM other
part of our District. We are truly glad oft.

SPEECH OF HON, F, W. PIcKENS.
WE cali pnblic attention to this able and stat

WE call pubic attention 10 thls aDic anu eIap1a'
m;l9like effort CT or distinguished fellow citizen.
Il is the argument Of oEc, who has beeh long con-
versant with the true workings Of our government
one, who has not, perhaps, in South Carolina,
superior in point Of political sagacity. 1t is only
necessary 10 point to the unwavering consistency
and orthodoxy Ibis course during the fifteen years
of his political fe 10 show that this is but ineri-
ted compliment. The present speech especially
demands the careful examination Of every TRUE
Souherner-frst from its succinct and strong array
of the argument on the right nf secession-sccond-
ly from its conclusive demonstra ton of the ulli-
mate designs OF the anti-slnvcry propagandists,
drawn from condensed sketch of the history Of
their thirdly, from its elevated ap-
pcals to the nobler impulses Of our nature, placing
Us they do, the honor and character Of the State
far above all pnltry considerations Of pecuniary
loss, and pointing to the high road Of SEPARATE
ACTION rs, perhaps, the only means of vindicating
OUR EQUALITY.
1t is due to Col. PIcKESs to state that this op-
portuniiy was not sought by him in the least. His
convictions of the high responsibility resting upon
him, as a member ofthc Convention, had restrained
him from interfering in the least with the popular
agitation. But discovering it 10 be the wish ofa large
portion of his fellow-ciiizcns to learn his views
from HIMSELF and, seeing that the current of feel
ing was now setting strongly in favor of the course
he had privately approved he deemed it not in
trusivc to come forward and add the weight Of
his opinion to the common tide. No one will blame
him for having done so. Every one, we hope,
will give him credit for the very marked midness
and modcsty of his course.

3ENTIaIEET OF TIE STATE.

WE gave last week the most correct conclusions
we were enabled to form MS 10 the public eee!ngin
various parts of the State. Later information goes
to prove the entire correctness of those concli''
sions There were several Districts to which we
made no allusion, because we supposed no one en-
tertained doubt as to their politics. Among those,
are Newbcrry and Union. two of the most tho
rough-going secession Districts in all our gallant
ranks. Laurens too, in spite of friend fTRDY, oc-
cupes position alongside of her spirited sisters;
and this we have heard recently from several prl-
rate sources. Our brother WRIGHT has notsound-
ed the tocsin in vain. proud and noble name
is that of LAURENs, and the District, which bears
it. gives abundant evidence that her 'fierald, i'll

We are fairly pressed out Of our columns this

even the appearance of partiaiity, TO give room
for both the speeches we had on hand, In the same

several sets of articles must put up with their en-
clusion on the same ground And SO must few

THE SEASONS AND TIE CROPS.

IATTEnl.Y. we have had in this vicinity olir
full share of both rain and wind. The former, we
are glad to say has done more good than the latter
has harm. The corn crops will yet be toerably
fair There is however no promise of large sur
plus in any quarter of the District we have heard
from. The great majority of our farmers will
commence upon the incoming crop az soon as the
grain is sufficiently dry; for at least five cribs out Of
ten are now empty, and before the present harvest
reaches us, we apprehend that ninety out Of
hundred will be.
Cotton is still promicing well.

REPLY TO THE HERALD,s QUESTION,

WE heard that stupid rumor about the "minorl-
ty of one.'' With whom it originated we did not
bother ourselves to enquire; its abs'lrdity having
been soon exposed. That very common but unknown
agent, upon whom no one can lay hands, and who,
for wan; of better name, may be called "MES-
DAx," was perhaps the individual who first issued
the statement.

To MAKE WATER COLD FOR SUMNER
Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used for water,
be surrounded with one or more folds of
coarse cotton, to be constantly wet. The
evaporation cf the water will carry off the
heat from the inside, and reduce it TO a
freezing point IN India and other tropical
regions, where ice cannot be procured, this
is common.

posterlty!
After the British Government and our
Northern brethren were defeated in their
schemes against us to be effected through
Texas, they fell back to circumscribc us BY
tho Wlmot Proviso. After the acquisition
of those vast territories from Meyico-it was
suddenly laid down that there was no need
for the Wilmot Proviso to exclude us, for we
were already excluded by the Mexican law
And in addition to this it was gravcly laid
down as American law, that any band OF ad-
vcnturers that might seize upon those ,errto-
rics, under the natural and una;cnablc rights
of man, could assume to themselves sover-
cign power, and then erect any government
they might think proper, so they called it Il
State, and extend their jurisdiction 10 any
boundaries they might declare, no matter
how extensive or where the lines mig ght run.
Until this, we had supposed that The States
united through their common agent, the Fed
eral Government, had alone the power to
take incipiert steps in the organization Of
territories in the public domain. But, under
this new doctrine, together with the assulnp-
ton as to the force OF Mexican law, VIC were
to be excluded from all privileges as citi-
zcns of slaye-holding States in the rich ter
