CAMDEN, Aug. 80, 1871.
Gentlemen, Besides the courtesy
which is due to your invitation, am
not at liberty to forgot, that in years
gone, by | have had familiar and
an agreeable intercourse with very
many Of the worthy people Of
Darlington, in whose behalf YOU
bid me to participate with them in n
meeting appointed for the day after
tomorrow; or else to communicate nv
sentiments upon the great question
of the day. | adopt the latter branch
OF the alternative from considerations
entirely consistent with due respect
for you and your people, and which
arc known to at least one of your
Committee.
l have said the great question Of
the day. What is that?
| conceive it thus; Shall the
Convention, within one year from
the time it meets (Which is the term
Of its cxistence) abrogatc the Con
stitution Of the United States, and
declare South Carolina foreign to
every State in the Union?
lfit DC asserted that such condition
is desirable for the State, rs matter
of choice, and is to be permanent,
shall be surprised to find that a dozen
men Of respectable intelligence,
within our limits, would advise
n measure involving such a CON
sequence. | cannot imagine that
the people of South Carolina will
yet suffer themselves to bc scduccd
into such an experiment, unless they
can be persuaded that it will operate
to force or cnticc other slayeholding
States also out Of the Union, and
bring them into concert, Cooperation,
and finally organized federation with
! us.
If then bchooycs those who call
themselves the men of action, and
who are willing to take the grave re.
sponsibllity Of pushing matters into
such position, to establish, beyond
reasonable doubt, tha, the act they
advise is not the end, but the means
of bringing about Southern Con
federacy. They affirm and urge
vehcmcntly, i. is their Office and duty
to supply the proof.
| will, nevertheless, submit to your
Judgment some considerations thar
lead me greatly to distrust the fitness
OF separate Secession by South Car
ollna, with no better understanding
than that now subsisting between her
people and those of other Southern
States, as q measure to bring into
combination the requisite power tc
sustain such a movement, and the
great cause which all good and wise
men have it in view to maintain.
!. No Southern State approves
the measure: | believe many Of tho
! abolitionists do,

New GRIsF Mill. We were much gratifed,
yesterday, on a visit 10 the new Machine Shop, in
witnessing the operation Of Harrson's new patent
grist mill, an advertisement Of which will be found
in our columns. The whole mill is made of iron
except the stones, which encased in that metal,
SO that has the appearance Of being entirely iron
II is very small and compact, SO as to be easily
transported from place to place, and may be put to
work in any place where there is small space Of
room, and power TO operate it, The advantages oil
this mill, in addition its compactness, are that it
grinds about one third more grain than any other
mill with the same power, and, especially that while
grinding with great rapidity, say the rate Of is to
25 bushels an honI, it does not heat the meal as
common mills are liable to, but discharges it with
very little increase Of temperature This is effected
by strong current of cold air being thrown into
the mill, which spreads itse between the faces Of
the stones, and is discharged with the meal Anot-
er advantage consists in its beug SO constructed,
that, in grinding the finest neal the stones dc not
come IN actual contact, and thus they retain their
Sharpness very much longer than those Of other mills
being subject only to the wear occasioned by the
grain. Thus great amount Of time and labor
usually required for sharpening the stones is saved
MIR. Harrison has received several medals as tes-
simonials in favor of the excellence Of his invention
and the mills are rapidly coming into use We
would advise milIers aud all Others, who are inter-
ested in the improvements Of the age, TO call and
witness the operation Of this mill, when they Will
dnd it to come fully up our Recommendation Of il.
