Atrocious Murder.

On Saturday evening last, 4 most brutal
and atrorous murder was committed in this
district, upon the person of young woman
Mary ann Hyatt, attended by circumstances
which render it one of the most appalling
deeds of violence in the annals of crime.
The young woman was seated in her house,
engaged in the pcrformace of some domestic
duty, and surrounded by her children, when
she was shot through the head with rifle
ball and instantly killed. The next morn
ing some of the neighbors passing the house,
were alarmed by tile cries of the children,
and, on entering, found the body still seated
in the chair, surrounded by the children, who

Hon, N. T.. Griffin's Letter.
EpGEF1ELp G.. H., Sept. Is, 1851,


Gentlemen Having been absent from
home, did not receive your kind invitation
to address public meeting of the citizens of
Charleston District, on the 18th inst, in time
to reply at an earlier period. | thank You sin
cerely, for the terms in which you are pleased
to allude to my services in the great cause in
which you are engaged. Engagements which
will require my whole time for week to
come, prevent me from attending your meet
ing.
approve fully the sentiments and princi-
pies of the resolutions accompanying yOurin-
ritation. Who can say that South Carolina
will not be dishonorcd if she submits to the
position of degrading interioFity to which the
late aggressive measures of the free soil ma
jority in Congress have reduced her If such
aman lives in the State, his own mother ought
to disown him, for she could not rely on him
to protect even herself from insult. Events
which have occurred since the adoption of
your resolutions, have conclusively settled
the point, that upon past aggressions we have
no ground to expect the cooperation of 4 sin
gle Southern State. Our only hope then of
cooperation depends on future aggressions.
Can any rational man believe, that the South
ern people quietly acquiescing in the degrad-
ing and insulting measures of the past, can
ever be prevailed upon to resist what awaits
US in the future. Those who urge such doc
trine, with little reflection, will bind them
selves practically, upon the platform of the
Georgia trio of Southern renegades My own
opinion is, that with the people of South Car
olina in the approaching Convention will rest
the only opportunity of successfully vindica-
ting the rights and liberty Of the South. If
the right of secession is to be denied, the
sooner we know it, and make the issue, the
better; then we shall have an issue which
will certainly settle the point, whether this is
4 consolidated government or not; and no
other issue can possibly, in the present state
of things arouse and unite the South. The
position and the honor of the State require
The issue to be made promptly, and neither
the efforts of the Federal authorities in the
forts of our harbor to intimidate the State;
nor the certainty Of coercion, should prevent
South Carolina from ut once dissolving her
connexion with government which she feels
only in its insults and expressions. have
written in haste, and in conclusion beg you
to accept my grateful Acknowledgements for
the honor you have done me.

Though differing from him on important
political questions, we have never doubted
his patriotism and sincerity. Our political
differences however, arc not so very great,
as may be. seen from the following notice Of
the Judge's speech at Cunningham's Store,
which we clip from the Anderson Gazette:
The debate was opened by Judge Butler
in an animated and resistance speech. The
Honorable gentleman has been set down as

difference between his position, and that Of
the Scccssionists. Like one takes up Il

and Includes by throwing it all away, 50 we
could see but little cooperation left, after
the venerable Senator had done his speech.
He does not condeccnd TO appeal TO the fears
of his countrymcn, but says that South Car
olina cannot brook the idea of Submission,
advises delay for five years, and thinks the
Union will be broken up in that time, hut if
the Convention acts by secession sooner, he

WHERE Is TILE FaIlLTl

IT is ntimated that some Of our worthy fellow
citizens have enrolled their names rs members Of
the Edgcfcld Southern Rights Association, with
n belief that its object was Southern Action
whereas it now appears that its real aim is Caro-
lima Action. Few names, we think, have been
enrolled in this organization, which were not di
rectly appended to the original copy of its Consti
tniion, or to correctly printed duplicates Of the
same, by the indiridua's hcmsclrcs. In doing so,
the lst Article of said Constitution must have been
before them, which reads thus:
"ARTrcLE |. The name of this Association
shall be the Edgeield Southern Rights Association
Its objects shall be, to organize the citizens OF
E1gelied District in support of the interests of the
South. 10 insure concert Of action among the cIi.
Zcns of this District with the other Districts Of
this State, to vindicatc and maintain our rights.
and support the Stale authorities of South Caro-
lima, in any measures she may adopt for her de-
fence against the wrongs and aggrcssions Of the
North"
1t will be seen from this, that the open and un-
disguised purpose of this Association has been,
from the first. "to support the interests of the
Souli'' and also "to suppor, the State authorities
of South Carolina, in amy measures of redress
she may adopt If this last expression means any
thing, it is that the State Convention was worthy
Of our implicit confidence, and admitted 10 be one
of the estate Authorlics'-for that is the body
which is to "adopt the measures spoken of. If
any have changed their views since signing that
sentiment, it is their undenable right to have
done so, and no one will blame them, or respect
them less, for the change Of opinion. But we, in
all kindness, suggest to- Sosc who have registered
the complaint CT having been deceived. TO relieve
at least the Association from all fault in the matter
And we base our suggestion on the above showing.
