WE are glad to announce that this paper only
sunk below the horizon for awhile to rise again ut
an early day, and we trust with renewed ehni-
cencc. Welcome back to the lists, staunch old
advocate of State Rights There is terrible
time ahead-and your sword, once drawn, may
never be returned to its scabbard. Doas You have
done-and the tide of consolidation and abolition,
which seems destined to take its rise among our
mountains, may possibly be turned aside from the
lovely plains below.
We take this occasion to entreat our brethren of
the press throughout the State (of whatever parity
TO strike their heaviest blows at once, before the
DEMON, which is now stalking among us at mid
night, shall impudently walk abroad at the noon
day hour. Unless patriots unite with hearty good
will to avert the threatening evil. this demon may

WE understand that this road is now completed
from the eight mile house to the corporate limits
of the town Of Hamburg. The workmen will be
placed, at as early day possible, on the upper
part of the road. We trust the company will dis
appoint the frequently uttered prophecies as to the
tardiness of this useful works completion.
We have heard many high concentrations of
the excellence and utility of the road. as far as it
has progressed. Let the public once become ac-
customed to its advantages, and it will become as
fixed as any other necessity of the day. Those
advantages once realized, and the enterprise can.
not fall through.
Within n year, it is hoped that the greater part
Of this road will be completed, and then Charles
ton will be brought TO our doors also. or at least
quite as near as we wish it. The trip from our
Village to the City can then be made in from
eight to ten hours.

VOTING LADIES, YOUR ATTENTION !

THE following touch ought to be felt by those

do not say that the fault alluded to is of an out

disrespcct to ones mOlher.tonguc, or lamcnabe
ignorance of its propriclics:
