way Of reproach. We are not wounded, in
the least, by these epithets, harsh though they
may appear. The man. who conscicntiously
walks in what he believe to be the path OF
duty and of honor, regards not a low and
foul aspersion which lie knows to be utterly
without foundation. sCalling names" is the
peculiar business of spot children; in grown
men it is entirely ridiculous, and always be-
meath notice.
If we may be permitted to speak for our
selves we say that we are resisting as steadi-
Iy, as firmly and as moderately as any party
ever did, the tyranny of an oppressive gov
ernmcnt. We are willing to stop awhile by
the way for our good brothers, until all hope
of the speedy help and cooperation of other
States is gone. When this shall have be-
come clear, why then we say, the voice of
Prudence admonishcs us to take our own
cause into our own hands. 1t is the only
hope of escape for u.s. Dangers and difficult
ties may lie in the way; but that God, who
holds in his hands the destnics of nations,
will bear us up amid them all, if we trust in
the strength of His arm and our own righte-
Gus canse.
Upon the combination of firmness and
moderation, by which the efforts of our peo-
pie are guided, the following remarks of the
Darlington Flag, are to the purpose.
We announced in conversation that our
views were moderate but frm-and such is
the position we still occupy. But all hope of
cooperation by the States as States is gone,
and the question of separate action is pre-
sented We have read and pondercd the
subject with all the powers of intellect which
God has given us, and our reason compels us
to choose separate State action in preference
to ultimate submission. We can compare
present submission to nothing 'but the
song of the Syrcn, which lures but to des-
troy; we will be getting weaker while our
enemies will be growing stronger every day;

From the state-Rights Republican.
The Evil Working its Own Cure.

The practical effect of the pseudo-philan-
thropic policy of the British Government in
the emancipation of the colored population
of lis West India Colonies, has iEcontestibly
demonstrated that impulses of the heart, are
frequently not based OH the dictates, either of
common sense, or real charity British
Statesmen arc now beginning to perceive
that the designs of the great Architect of
the Universe are indeed inscrutablc, and that
they had done far better for The cause Of suf-
fcring humanity, had they attended to the
real dcpIorablc condition of millions Of their
own countrymcn, instead Of futilrly cndeav-
oring to raise, from the position in which it
had been placed by its Creator, a race, whose
lot is, has, and ever will be, to be "a servant
of servants" unto mankind.
Our Canadian neghbors, whose maudin
sensibility for the sleek, well fed black, and
perfect Indifference for The unfortunate of
their own race is proverbia!, are alike having
their eyes opened to The same fact. a re-
cent Toronto paper states, that it has received
a letter from Chatham, complaining that the
country in that vicinity is being inundated
with negroes from the United States-that
they are allowed equally with the white popu-
lation, the right to vote-to be elected TO Of
ficc-and sit as Jurors. The writer also
complains that one fourth of the votes at the
late municipal election. were polled by ne
groes; and suggests that, as Lord John
Russell intimatcd, in late speech in the
British House of Commons, that as the
circumstances of Colonies are different, and
require different Constitutions, so provision
should be made to deprive the colored race
of the rights enjoyed by the white popula-
ton of Canada.
The same writer likewise most significant
ly asks whether further influx of negroes
might not be prevented and u reciprocal free
trade obtained, by the Canadians agreeing to
give up fugitive sla,e es!
Whreupon the Rochester Advertiser admi-
rably observes: So it seems, after all, that
this boasted British love of liberty and equali-
ty. and philanthropy, are ready to be en-
changed for free-trade in Cotton and Bread
stuffs and we should not be surprised if this
should be the ultimate result of inundating
the Canadas with fugitive negroes. The
white population will soon become cured of
their theoritical philanthropy. when they find
themselves likely to be cQualIcd, or ontnum-
bered by n race whose nature, habits and
character are so little congenial to their own.
Their love of the negro will vanish with that
distance which lends enchantment to the
view"

REVEREND MIR. READ,

IT is but an act of justice that some public
testimony should be given, in EdgefieId, Of
the faithful and able services of this highly
gifted Minister of the Gospel, during his So
journ among us. We take pleasure in MAX
ing our paper the medium of this tribute.
Mr.. READ may be now safely classcd among
the most intellectual and cultivated Divines
of the South. This is, at any rate, the cher
ished belief of those among us, who have
had the qualification Of hearing and becoming
familiar with his finished style, his lucid rea-
soning, his chaste and fcrvid eloquence. DIFF
ficult indeed will it be for our friends of the
Episcopal Church here, to supply his place
with his equal. They have only realised, to
the full, his extraordinary merit, since having
been deprived of his pastoral supervision.
Mr.. READ, some years ago, married among
US, and we had hoped that he might have
fixed upon Edgefeld as his permanent abode.
We can only hope that, wherever he may go,
his merit may secure to him such a position
as his modesty will never seek.
We wish for him sphere of action COM
mensurate with his distinguished abilities.
And this we know to be the feeling of all
who knew him here.
Since writing the above, we learn by the
Columbia papers that Professor THoRNwELI
has just made known his determination to re-
sign his seat among the Faculty of our Col
lege. We have no hesitation in suggesting
the gentleman, whose name heads this para
graph, as one exactly suited for this vacant
chair.

dition, and act as pilot for them. He reeeIv-

General, who Immediately had the Spanlard

A gentleman from the Island, and one who
has been travelling much of late, informs lis
that all over the Island the most anxious de-
sire is manifested for the invasion Of the
Island by the Americans and probably the
people were never so ardent and eager to
rise en- masse and join The invaders as at the
present moment.
We give these rumors as they reach u.s.
The position of affairs in Cuba is doubtless
critical, and whether actual demonstrations
are in progress or not is question which re,
mains undecided. Every preparation has beer
made by the authorities to meet the expected

OUR MILITARY ACADEMIES.

We are indebted te the polteness of Gen.
JONES' Chairman of the Board of Visitors, for
copy of the Regulations of the Citadel
Academy at Charleston, and of the Arsenal
Academy at Columbia" a,"-also, for the "Ofii-
cial Register Of the Officers and Cadets of
those Institutions.
From the latter, it appears that these ad-
mirable establishments arc coming fully up
to the expectations of their wise projectors.
The admissions in Charleston, for 1850, A.
mount to forty-four, those in Columbia, to
twenty-ninc,- making in all, seventy-three.-
Under the able and very Jealous care Of the
Board of Visitors, the skilful guidance of
their Superintendants and the thorough in
struction of the several Professors, these Aca-
denies have proved themselves worthy of be-
ing ranked among the very first Institutions
of our country. The State may well con-
gratulate herself upon this fortunate expert
ment. We will soon be entirely Independent
of West Point, for all the purposes of civil or
military engineering. In the troublous times
that may soon come upon us, much good SER
vice may be expected from these fosterings
of Carolina, recent as they are. Come peace,
come war, we look to them with hope and
pride.
We append few explanatory remarks
taken from one of the pamphlets above-men-
toned. They contain brief and plain state
ment, which may be interesting to many.
"The Military Schools were established,
and are supported by the State Of S. Caro-
lima; one at Charleston and one at Colum-
Lia; the latter auxiliary to the former I}ro
Arsenals, containing the arms and munitions
Of war Of the State, are located, one in
Charleston and the other in Columbia, which
were formerly guarded by two companies Of
enlisted soldiers, at an annual expense of
$4,000. In 1912, this appropriation was
transferred, by an Act of the General Assem-
bly,, to the support of two schools. which
were organized upon the basis of the U. S.
Military Academy at West Point, in the be-
ginning of 1913, by permanent Board of
Visitors, appointed by the Governor, the Ca
diets at which, perform all the duties of a
guard for the Arscnals.
1.-THE Cadets admitted consist Of two clas-
ses, Beneficiary and Pay Cadets. The State
supplies to the Beneficiary Cadet all his cx-
pcnscs. The Pay Cadet pays $500 per year
for every charge, including clothing. The
Beneficiary Cadets are selected from those
not able 10 bear their own expenses. APP
plications for admission are made to the Chair
man of the Board of Visitors prior to the
Annual Meeting Of the Board, which takes
place on Friday next after The fourth Monday
in November, by whom appointments are
made at that time, for both classes of Cadets;
respect being had to a due apportionment a.
mong the several Judicial Districts Of the
State"

But this, I am glad to perceive, @Indcpcn-

says that he would have the State do more"

to be desired. We are pleasantly surprised
to hear an opponent Of separate State seces-

tion, which Independence" 80 highly ap.
proves. So it appears chat Grcenyile sub

two entirely different and dis-similar things.
This is what had all along hoped, and what
I now recognise with satisfaction. In con.
clusion, must say that i still indulge the
further hope that our people will soon come
together on all material points, and that old
Edgefeld will yet 60 forward in the great

of our members who voted against the Con-.
vention Bill, received about double rs many
votes, as did any delegate to the Convention"
Independence's manner of stating this
circumstance of decided meaning" is eer-
tainly calculated TO lead off the public mind
from the fact as it really was; and, doubtless,
the writer penned the remark without a
knowledge of the real position of the men,
Der to whom he alludes. This member is
Gen. WEAVER. He certainly ran high upon
the ticket in October last, and it is equally
certain that, from the beginning to the end
of the session, he was one the staunchest
advocates of secession at the earliest praeti-
cable day. 1t was his warm attachment to
the stronger Bill of the Senate, and that alone,
which caused him, with several other deter
mined and thoroughgoing gentlemen, to stand
aloof from the support of any measure that
proposed more undecided course. aInde-
pendence" will perceive that he has selected,
to enforce his views, "a singular cireum-
stance" which tells with singular force
against him. :.
But have been longer than intended,
and must conclude with the assurance that

future, as circumstances may require.
DECISION OF 1850.

WHAT THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
DARED TO DO In I774-5.

When Boston was b Hoekaded on account
of the rebellious disposition, of her citizens
manifested by the act ofahYwing overheard
the East India Companys tea, the Colony Of
South Carolina immcdiaN held mass
meeting in Charlestown, was then called.
A very great number assembled from every
part of the province, ana 'pOn hearing the
matter explained to them, they adopted rcso-
lutions for supporting the people of Boston
by rozuntary contribution, for organizing va
rious committees, and for appointing Dele
gates to general Congress. "This Con-
vention of:the people, and these resolutions
says RAMSAY, Ibid the foundation of all
the subsequent procecdings;" which, in t'oo
years, resulted in Revolution.
We adducc this fact to remind Carolinans
of this day, of the prompt, decisive and de-
termined conduct of those from whom we
are descended, in resistingthe very approach
of unjust legislation.
They knew that the prospect of success, in
a contest with the power of the Mother Coun-
try, was altogether cheerless; and yet they
moved right on to it, because the other alter
native was submission.to wrong and consc-
qucnt: disgrace They knew it WAS against
their present interest TO take the step. They
were prosperous and fourishing-their pro-
vince, the chief favorite of Royalty. ain no
colony Was there a, stieng a bond oftrnion,
from reciprocity of, benefits, or fainter
prospect Of interference ; and contention. The
colony consumed an immensely of British
manufactures, which she could neither make
for herself nor purchase elsewhere on equal
terms, and for tln payment Of which, she had
ample means in her valuable native commo-
dities. The exchange of one for the other
WIS basis of profitable commerce" Happy
in her connexion with Great Britain, Carolina
was moved upon by every feeling of kindness
and every suggestion Of private interest, to
condemn and oppose a rupture. And yet
there was not moments hesitation, on her
part, to DARE ALL THINGS AND RISK ALL
THINGS for the maintenance of a principle.
Can we not draw lesson from this noble
example!
