We publish by request a sketch Of
the lito ofPntL1r!S. WIurE, by j .yMEs
NJ. ESDEY.i He has. passed through
our village several times delivering
lectures upon the subject of temper
ancc with considerable Success
Although entirely ignorant of his pri
vate character, we were inclined to ap-
preciate the cloqucncc and ability with
which he discourscd upon the subject
of temperance. Shortly after he had
passed through this place after his first
visit, it was reported that Mr.. WHITE
was III principle an Abolitionist, and
had 50 expressed himself some years
before. We quietly awaited his an
swer to this charge; we believe it now
pretty clear, that the report was the
result Of mistake upon the part of him
who gave publicity to it. Ina com
munication to the Black Rirer lVutch-
man Of Saturday last, Mr.. WHITE is
charged with having said in public,
that the Elders of Il certain Prcsbytcri-
an Church not far from the place where
he was then lecturing, (Bishopville)
were in the habit Of assembling the
Monday after the Sabbaths ofcomnlun-
ion to attend to church matters and to
drink the wine remaining from the
Holy Ordinance of the Lords Supper,
adding that the session frequently left
the church light-hcadcd and thick
tongucd from its effect. Ifthis be un-
true as the Bishopville correspondent
believes it to be; if Mr.. WHITE has
deliberately asserted talscheod in re-
gard to SO serious q matt ter, he deserves
tho opinion which is entertained of
him by the Editor of the IPaichman.
If on the other hand it be true, let Mr..
WHITE come forward and establish it,
that any "Church guilty Of so unholy
and sacriligious an act may be known
and receive the condemnation which it
so richly merits"

FREScn SpoL1ArloNs.-The French
paper published in New York, the
" Courier des Etats Unis," concludes an
article on this subject in these words
''lt concerns, then, the honor of the
United States Government; that the
French Spoliation bill should at length
be passed. 1t is now fifty-two years
since France actually paid the indcm-
nifty itprovides, and it is high time that
the depository should pay it over to
those entitled. The majority of tho
newspapers very properly insist upon
the necessity of now passing the bill,
and for our own part, we get rid Of this
odious and lying (menteur) conjunction
of words: 'French Spoliation,' which
tends to saddle upon our country re-
sponsibility, the whole weight of which
the United Statos should surely bear
alone"

REMOVAL OF INDIANs.-Thougl
Il law of stern necessity, the en
iorccment Of which is called for by
the uncompromising conservativcness
of one people, and the progressive
principle which marks tho other, it
is yet sad reflection to watch the
effect Of those laws, which, in the
natural order of things, seems most
inevitably to tend to the extinction,
rs well as Punishment, of the aborig-
inal inhabitants of our country, from
the land and the scenes of their
nativity. This is theme Of frequent
comment, and one to which we can
never revert, but with feelings of
mingled sadness and regret.

reports from Florida state that some

To let the brethren of the State see
how Phoenix Division regards Bro.
White, Iappend "by authority" the
following resolutions which were offer
ed by Bro. James II. Smith, and unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Division are due and are hereby cordi-
ally rendered to our distinguished Bro
ther, =. S. White, for the eminent SER
vice he has this day rendered the cause
of Temperance; and that during his
short stay among us he has rendered
himself dear to each member by his
affability and kindness of manners.
Resolved, That wherever his lot may
be cast, he will have our best wishes
for the prosperity and happiness OF
himself and family.
RESOLVED, That the warmest thanks
Of this Division are also duo to our
more immediate Brother, our own
George M. Fairlce, for the handsome
manner in which he performed his
duties, and we tender them to him
with the full assurance that, as now,
he will ever be the true, firm, and
fearless champion of a cause he has
this day so ably defended.
On motion, the Recording Scribe
was directed to send copies Of these
Resolutions, with the accompanying
remarks, to the Star, Temperance
Advocate, and Spirit OF the Age, with
request to publish. ZENO.

ing Of his grace upon the hearts OF
those who arc legislating for the wei

in the death of John Shaw ON Monday

came to his death by misfortune, and
contrary to the will Of Ellis. We

A SoUTu AMERICAN SILVER NINE
A correspondent ofthe Newark Adver-
tiser gives quite graphic description
of one of the most remarkable silver
mines of South America. 1t is located
in San Antonia, about $50 miles from
Caldera, and he says:
"You can imagine the wealth Of this
mine, which is located in narrow,
steep ravinc, about one mile from the
river valley, when tell You there is
village Of some size at the mouth Of
the ravine, occupied by poems, and the
natives of the country, which has been
built up and entirely supported for
years, by the stealings of persons e,e.
ployed in the mine. suppose that
one-tenth ofthcrich ore is stolen; t|Rasss
is not a native miner Ii Chill whoth s' re
not steal when he has chance, and
boast of it afterwards. When the
mines are rich, the owners employ q
foreman for each. miner, to overlook
while mining; but am told that the
foremcn are as bad as the men; there is
no dependence to be placed OH any of
them; the owners seldom go near the
mines, and when they do, they rarely
go into them.

MAKING CorroN TO Buy Provisions.
Tic Grecnsborough Gala Beacon
says: \ gentleman just returned
from Mob informs us that the
boats on tn upward trips are heavily
loaded with provisions. The Glover,
he stated, brought up last week 600
hogshcads of Bacon. Business men in
Mobile who are well informed on the
subject, express the opinion that the
proceeds Of the last years cotton
crop of Alabama will be required
to pay for the provisions that navc to
be bought. Iftlis opinion be any
thing near correct, then did the plan.
ters of Alabama do very poor bu.
siness last year. In place of making
the provision crops secondary to the
cotton crop, as is, VIC apprehend,
the custom of great majority Of
cotton planters, they should be made
of primary Importance; and it should
the settled policy of every planter
to raise at least provisions enough
to serve him. To do this, a liberal
allowance should be made in pitching
the crop for mpropitious seasons.

w The place for unhappy wives

WAR RUMoRs IN MExIco.-We
learn from the Rio Bravo, that there
was excitement ut Matamoras upon
receipt of the news from the city of
Mexico.
The rumor there is that Mr.. Letch-
or, the American Minister, had, after
the refusal by the Mexican Congress
to ratify the Tchuantepec treaty by n
vote Of 10, to sent in to President
Arrista his ultimatum, which is said to
have been, as follows: either allow the
work to be continued, or indemnify the
company for all losses sustained, other
wise--his passport to leave the coun-
try. 1t is, also said, that Mr.. Web
stcr has instructed the President of
the Tehuantepcc company, Mr.. Benja-
min, to proceed with the work and the
U. S. Government, would sustain him,
and that naval force had been sent
thithcr for that purpose.
when this news reached Matamo-
ras there was sufficient gas expended to
fill balloon, which wns sent up that
evening. There was romark made
by Col. Portilla, which is worthy of
record-he said, In the approaching
war, Mexico will use all the means that
God has given her to defend herself;
hitherto the Americans have bought,
with their gold, the battles which their
prowess could not gain, but now, (strik.
ing his breast and looking as fierce as a
lion,) Mexico is in the keeping Of hon
est men and good patriots

Plummer, it appears, left wife and
four children in England. Miss Pat
tison is only 10; and he SO years
of age. Col. Howard, who arrived in
the Europa, on Thursday, brought
q letter from her parents, urging her
to return home, and also letter from

BALTIMORE CoNvENTIoS.-Ion, Of
the Baltimore Sun, speaking of
the meeting of this body, thus speaks
Of this State:
"South Carolina will not be repro
scntcd by any regularly appointed
delegate in either Of the Conventions,
but know that Gen. Commander will
certainly attend the Democratic Con
vcntion, and assume to represent the
State. His vote may be decisive in
the selection OF nominee, thus cx-
ercising himself the whole power of
the convention. If it is quite certain
he will go for Gen. Cass, then the
question as to the nomination may be
considered us already settled. Mr..
Calhoun gave his support to the
election OF Gen. Cass, and, therefore,
some support from the same quarter
may be expected, especially after the
explanation given, at this session, by
Gen. Cass, OF the Nicholson letters. 1t
is understood, however, that South
Carolina would prefer among the
northern men, Mr.. Dickinson or
Mr.. Dallas"
