rible tribulaiion 10 the journalist of Edgefeld,
who moums over them as ''iailings," and as
the most prominent amongst the ''great dan
gers" which beset the secessiOnist movement.
To us, and to our readers generally, they possess
an equal but far more pleasurablc significance.
They are worthy of all the prominence that can
be given to them.
The Charleston Southern Standard groans
in different spirit, and for different reasons.
1t sees that poor South Carolina sis destined
TO be victimized in any event." and, in proof,
cites statements from neighboring prints to show
that many of her best citizens care resolved to
quit in disgust, because the State won't Sc
cede." Here is one:
1--WE have heard within a few days that several
four most respectable E1gefied families have de-
,crmined to remove Immediately to Alabama. Is
this to be the beginning OF new tide of emigra-
ton; We sincerely hope that it is not.
ut is evident that many of our citizens are so
disheartened and dismayed at the prospect of our
States sinking into submission, that they would If
possible, take the wings of the morning and fly TO
the uttermost parts of the earth. Did we think
that our cooperation friends designed doing no
thing 10 avert this humiiating result, we confess
that we would be actuated by the same feeling.
But we cannot yet rehnquish hope"
On which the Winnsboro' Register COM
ments as follows,
eve regret to know that the above facts are
true. Not only in Edgefeld district, but in seve-
raj other districts throughout the State, learn
that prominent citizens, having become Disguised
with the recent conduct of the people OF this State

ing to leave the soil of their nativity for the west

:" Within the past few weeks several families
have left Fairfield district on the same account,
and we know Of several others now offering their
lands for sale, with the intention of quitting the
State, on account Of her disgraceful position
{" These families to whom refer such
any State may be proud of claiming as citizens in
every department of life, and It is to be regretted
that they have deemed expedient under the force
of circumstances to bid adeu to the land of their
nativity
The gravity with which this matter is treat
ed, and the ominous construction that is put
upon it, are exceedingly amusing. Only think
of the idea of regarding an ordinary autumnal
migration of go-ahead farmers as virtual pro-
Test on their part against the ''dsgracetul posi-
tlon' of the State they quit! They are ':disr
heartened and dismayed" at the prospect OF
South Carolina continuing in the Union, and
they prove the reality of their alarm by trans
ferring their goods and chattels to another sec
ton Of this same atrocious Confederation! They
are disguised at South Carolina because she
has not seeded; they become citizens of Alaba
ma. where secessionism has not even a hiding
place; and South Carolina journalists overlook
the absurdity in their eagerness to catch any
thing that can for moment tickle the morbid
palate of their secessionist patrons.

part Of the government for defence, and to put

OF the following compliment to the Posi-
MASTER GENERAL, we may be permitted to
say that it "will wear well. for it has been
hardly earned" We copy it from the New
York Tribune journal which, if we mistake
not, denounced Mr.. HALLS appointment as a
'blunder:"
PosrMAsTERs' FEEs.-Not little uneasiness
and alarm have prevailed among the 10000 deputy
postmasiers throughout the country, in
quence Of the great falling off in the amount of
their commissions, resulting from the operation of
the late law of Congress reducing the rates of
postage. while the labor Of their offices has been
materially increased. This anxiety, however, had
been somewhat allayed by the fact that the Post
master General, anticipating the results referred
to, had wisely procured the insertion of proviso
for the relief of his deputies, though until recently
some fears had been entertained as to so favorable
u construction being given to that provision as
could be desired.
All such fears have been set at rest, by the
appearance of the Postmaster Generals circular,
of the 10Th ultimo, upon this subject; and while it
provides, and ut once secures very satisfactory
lief, it also furnishes further evidence of the
lightened and liberal policy which has distin-
guished Judge Halls administration OF the affairs
of the Post Office Department.
1t may not be out of place here to add-and we
confident that all who have had personal inter
with Judge Hall will join us in the remark
that we have never had officer at the head of
that, or any other Department of the Government,
in whom decision and energy in official business
more happily tempered by personal courtesy
and kindness

Convention" has a decided and very instructive
bearing on the changes we have advocated in
conneXion with the route between New York
and Washington. We have suggested the
proPriety of an appeal to Congress to exercise
It's undoubted power in reference to post roads;
and we feel certain that such an appeal, prop
erly urged and properly sustained, would be
productive of beneficial results. Apart from
the precise mode of action in such case, it is
surely the duty and interest of that large sec
ton ofthe community whoare directly concerned
in the question to take some steps To- furnish an
authoritative expression of public opinion, both
as TO the character and extent of prevailing
evils, and the necessity and practicability of e
prompt and efficacious remedy. We want to
see the "Air Line" from Bostont to New York
extended southwark through New Jersey, Penn
sYlvania, and Maryland; and we cherish an
expectation that measures will shortly be adopt
ed to give effect TO this OF some similar plan.
As matters now stand, they are as discreditable
to the community that can tolerate them, as TO
the short sighted monoposts by whom they are
perpetrated.

The CATHERINE HAYES CONCERTS are Temporal
rily suspended. The lady has thrown up her con
tract with Messrs Cramcr & Beale, of London, to
whom she was under engagements, and by whom
she was contracted TO Mr.. Wardwell for year, at
a high figure. The forfeit she will have to pay is
$4,000, (say $l5,000) She was to have sung
last night, at bany, under the now repudiatcd
arrangement Discomfort with the manner in
which her concerts have been conducted is assign

Under management more TO her taste, and we
may add to her credit and advantage, we hope to
hear her again in public ere long.

true bills against Jacob Townsend, one of the

There are seven counts in each Indictment or bill.
true bill was ALEC returned against him for trea-
son, and also against George Williams and forty
others, charging them with the same offence, trea
son. growing out of the same transactions. true
bill also returned against Cashier Hanaway,
Elijah Lewis and Joseph Scarlet, for treason. The
Jury, in returning these indictments, accompany
them with the following remarks:
although the grand jury have felt no hcsta-
ton in performing the duty imposed on them by
the laws of the United States, in presenting these
serious accusations for trial, yet they cannot but
profoundly regret the necessity which has led
to it.
cat period like the present, in the history of
the Republic, when, under The mild influence OF a
National Constitution, predicated on the principle
of recognising, respecting, and vindicatng the
rights and institutions OF every member of the
Confederacy, GU ,Juntry has gone on increasing
in great prosperiiy and happiness, it is painful to
the heart of the patriot that such outrage Upon
the.dignity of the nation and its laws should have
been perpetrated as that which has led to the in
dictments found by US.
''lt ia to be feared that the immediate actors in
this drama of blood have, if not directly stimulated,
been encouraged by those from whose social and
public position, and intellectual culture, better
things might have been expected
''From such sources we should expect to be
taught that obedience to the laws of the United
States, enacted by the constitutional authorities,
was the first Of obligations imposed Amcri-
can citizen; and that any other resistance to them
than the constitutional resistance by change of
law gives, among the political hercsies NEST to
be repudiated by an American patriot.
is, however, to be ardcntly hoped that the
bloody tragedy Of Christiana may have a whole
some and abiding influence on our future national
career; that il may impart moderation to political
zealos impress lasting lesson of the necessity OF
obedience TO the public laws while they remain
unrcpealed on the statutc-book, and manifest that
there is but one true remedy for grievances, real
or supposed, under which the nation may suffer
the remedy prescrihcd by the Constitutions"
