MR. EDIToR:-As we often see it an
nounccd in your useful paper, that now is
the time for action, we deem it but right to
proclaim through the same channel the rea-
diness oftho people for action. This VIC can
not better do, than by giving concise des-
cription offs meeting Of the Southern Rights
Association of Erskinc College, held in the
College Chapel, on the 18th of July. The
Association being called to order, the men,
bcrs proceeded to the election of secretary,
10 fill the vacancy occasioned by the absence
of /. @. HUNTER, which resulted in the
choice Of E. Ii. EDwAnDs of Chester.
a unanimous call was then made, for w.
A. BLACK to address the meeting. Who
rose and in clear and comprehensive man.
ncr, portrayed the many injuries and insults
that we have received at the hand of the
Federal Government; and earnestly insisted
upon the necessity of immediate nction.
After whom followed in succession, Messrs.
STIRLING, BAsKIS, LINDSAY, TmoMpsoN
KERR, and McGowES, each in turn invcsti-
gated some Of the prominent points in our
political history, from the foundation of the
present Union, down to this day, unfoldctl
the trickery by which an unprincpled ma
jority, have hurled from its base the Union
of 80, and built in its stead, one better
adapted to their own agrandisement and our
own destruction, and concluded by recon-
mcnding Estate Action" as the only remedy.
And judging from the welcome shouts
with which each of the speeches were re-
ceived, we would say that the speakers, but
spoke the sentiments of the whole Associa-
ton. And in conclusion we would say for
ourselves, and we toast for Abbcville, in an
swer to the question, "Where will Abbeville
the birth place of Calhoun, the home Of
McDuffie, be found in tho contest for
Estate Rights 2" that instead of echo an
swer where, the voices of the young and
middle aged, urged on by the prayers Of
the old will answer, as they strive for place
beneath the Palmetto flag.

down the old building, finding in the cess
pool, some human skulls, and other bones
of which the human frame is composed
Upon prosecuting the search, about twenty
skulls, thigh-bones, &c, were found closely
huddled together, at the bottom of the sink,
presenting tho appearance of having been

and suspicious relative to these remains, are

Yes Sir Phillip Francis "Junius e"-
Mr.. Phillips, in " Curran and Contempora-
ries, " thus relates an interesting incident in
the life of Sir Phillip Francis, which tends
to substantiate the prevailing opinion of his
identity with " Junius."
"lt may not, perhaps, be out of place here
to relate an anecdote Of this singular person,
which [ had from Mrs. Ridgway, the wife
of the well-known and equally respected
publisher liccadilly. Francis frequently visit
cd the shop, where the excellent proprietor
permitted daily asscmLlago of Ills old
friends. Francis was we'll known to have
been hasty, sensitive and irritable to excess.
lie walked in one day very much excited,
and addrcssrd Mrs. Ridgway, who happened
to be alone, "Pray madam, have you seen
the newspapers much oflatea Thassretchcs
but doa't mind them, not .EtKe wretch
es! Now: have not done one single thing
which they ascribe to me. All! but what
would the wrctches say if they know I
wroto"-the word was all but out. Mrs.
Ridgway ventured to add, "Junius, Sir Phil
ip 2" and he rushed, almost choked, into the
street. This is remarkable occurrence, and
there is no doubt ofits authenticity.

We never could have any fellowship with
that sort of piety which fails to make home
sweet and happy. It never could gain our
confidence. In very practical and peril
nent sense, real charity always begins at
home.' There it does its first works, and
some Of its best. There is sort of piety,
80 called, which promises we'll in the dis.
tance, and has the best fame farthest from
home. A worse testimony than this for
its genuiness need not be sought.

beauty and fitness of order and sweetness,

Gov. McDonaltrs Letter.

: We give on.our first page the answer, of
Gov. McDonaldto the questions propounded
to him and Mr.. Cobb, OIL the right ofsecession.
We are proud to find Gov. Mcdonald so
ready to make known his views on this vi
tal subject. We were convinced all along
that ile was not the man to conceal his SEN
timcnts or political faith. lie now stands
before the people as the fearless and avowed
champion of Southern rights. lIe speaks
out like man. lie keeps nothing back
through fear. How can Georgianso refuse
to sustain him? Where is the risk in vo-
ting fot him? His fidelity to tho South is
uhqucstionable. lie IS sound upon tho
question Of secession, and on tho establish
ment Of that right the fu ture destiny of the
Southern States rests. Shall we slink back
rs towards and permit our government, which
is confcsscdly Federal, to be converted into a
great national despotism, to abiorb and
swallow up all the reserved rights of tho
States? These are the questions, people of
Cherokc, that are now involved in the contest
waging between the friends ofMcDonald and
Cobb. Next October will forever settle the
matter of secession in Georgia. If McDon-
aid should triumph in the coming election,
then we may congratulate ourselves that we
are safe. But should we permit the storm
and clamor offaction to bear him down, then
indeed wiil"our, political horizon be involved
in blackness and gloom. We will have said
to Webster, Fillmore, and all the other con-
solidationists, that our government is great
national government, and Tint it has the right
to wage war bloody and destructive on the
States. Shall we be so infatuated as ever to
yield the right of State to secede, when the
general government becomes oppressiveI If
we elect Mr.. Cobb, we forever abandon the
right. He contends for nothing more than
the right of rebellion. lie, in consequence,
causes a question of conflict between the
government and State, to be left to the ar
6itriment OF the sword. Citizens of Georgia
are you willing to invite, by your folly, .yonr
madness, the fanatical and abolition rabble
of the North to wage war upon you9 Are
you ready to say that majority in Congress
may legislate as it pleases; and enforce that
Legislation by the sword and awful process of

posed to secession. lie eata:.a:ns Tie SANE

profess. lie can't deny it. Or why his OBJ
stinate silence in reference to the contents of

Two DUEL1sTs.-The Chronicle of Wes-
tern Literature tells me the following story
of Col. Wheatley. 1t may be old, but it is
good.
Tho Colonel during sojourn in vicks-
burg met there some hot blooded Southern
ers with spirit as fiery as his own. They
quarreled, challenge was passed and accep-
ted and the next rising sun was to witness
oneif not both their dead bodies drenched in
blood to wash out wounded honor. During
the nigh: the Col. said he heard boat
coming up the river, and it struck him as he
heard the boat putting and blowing that pru-
dence was the better part of valor," So he
took trunk upon his shoulder, and stepped, in
the dead OF tho night very quietly out of the
Hotel, as he neared the boat who should he
see but his antagonist at the boat before him
just going aboard.
He returned as he had gone out and was
on tho ground next morning with his Sc
cond waiting with disappointed wrath for
his antagonist and published him as An alb
sonding scoundrel.

How 10 DRaw TiiE SiNN ERs. .- - Several
years ago we We're a resident of north-wes-
ncrn Louisiana, near the confines of Texas.
The people there, rs a general thing, were
not much given to religion. An itinerant
preacher happened along in the neighbor-
hood during this dearth of religion, and set
about repairing the walls of Zion, in good
earnest. But his success was poor. Not
over half dozen could be got together at
his Sunday meetings. Determined, howey-
or, to create an interest before ho left the
ncighborhood, lie procured'printcd handbiIIs
and had them posted up in every conspic-
uous place in the district, which cad to the
following effect:
'tlceltgious Notice.-The Rev. Mr.. Bla-
ncy will preach next Sunday, in Dempscy's
Grove, at ten o'clock, n. m, and ut four
o'clock, p. M, Providence permitting. Be-
tween the services, the preacher will run his
sorrel mare, JnE..77'against any nag that can
be trotted in this region, for purse of five
hundred dollars !"
This had the desired effect. People flocked
from all quarters, and the anxiety to see
the singular preacher was even greater than
the excitment following the challenge.
uepreached an elegant sermon in tho MOP
ming, and after dinner he brought out his,
mare for race. The purse was made up
b!y five or six Of the planters, and an oppo-
sing nag produced. The preacher rode his
little sorrel, and won the day, amid the deaf
ening shouts, screams and yells of the de-
lighted people. Tho congregation all re-
manned to the afternoon service, and at It's
close, about two hundred joined the church;
some from motives of sincerity, some
for the novelty ofthe thing, some from ex-
c'tement, and more because the preacher
was good fellow The final ofthe affair
was as fiourshing society as can be found
in tile whole region thereabout.
