The Press Co invention.

Some time ago, we called upon the Charles
ton papers, inquiring their reasons for not
favoring the call for convention Of the Ed
itors and publishers Of the State, to be held
on the first of December. The Standard,
with that dignity and independence which
has always characterized it, Immediately re-
sPonded. The Courier and Evening News
have kept sullenly silent. The Mercury's
answer we annex, with the remarks of the
Carolinian. We have only word or two
to say.
We in common with tho rest of up coun-
try Editors, would have been pleased to meet
with our Charleston friends, but for our
part, and no doubt 9 are but declaring the
voice OF our up-country brethren, IL the
Charleston Editors consider Il such a silly
affair, they may stay at home--we care not,
and only repent having .. amy time taken
cognizance oftheir silence.

Last Momonts of the Duke of yelling.
ton.

OF the latest moments of England,
greatest hero-the captain of the age
the conqucror of Napolcon-the Duke o.
Wellington-the Iron Duke-who is now
no more, the London correspondent of the
Philadelphia American gives the annexed
account.-Bdltimore Sun.
The mournful event, so long anticipated
by the nation, has come upon the country
at last like thunderbolt. There was no
warning, no sign, no word. The Duke,
as was his custom at this season of the
year, had left the metropolis on visit to
Walmer Castle. lie was enjoying perfect
health on Monday last, and ate hearty
dinner that day; he was lively, sociablc,
and in fine spirits. He retired to rest on
Monday night, apparently quite we'll On
Tuesday morning, at halfpast six, Mr..
Kendall, the Dukes ralet, went to awake
his master, but his Grace refused to get
up; one hour afterwards the valet again
went to the Duke, who appeared unwell
and ordered the doctor to be sent for.
Mr.. Hulke, surgeon at Deal, repaired
Immediately to the Castle. lie found the
Duke suffering from indigestion, and com
planning of pains in the chest and stomach.
He was in the full possession of his facul-
ties, and described his situation clearly
This was his last conversation on earth.
Mr.. Hulke merely prescribed some dry
toast and tea. Subsequently Mr.. Hulkc
and DIR. Macarthur consulted together, and
emetics were administered, but they pro-
duced no effect. Every effort was used to
afford relief, but in vain. The Duke lost
the power Of speech and consciousness
He was removed from his bed into an arm
chair, and the attendants of his diving
moments were assembled in a group a.
round him. On one side were Lord Charles
Wellesley and DIR. Macarthur, on the 9th.
er Mr.. Hulke and Kendall. the valet
About noon fresh attack came on, and
from that time scarcely any sign of ami
nation could be detected. Mr.. Hulke fel
the action of the pulse till about ffteer
minutes past three o'clock, when he founc
that it had ceased to beat, and declared
that all was over.
Thus, on Tuesday, September IA, 1852
the Duke of Wellington expired calmly
and without struggle or a sigh to marx
the exact moment when the vital spark
was extinguished.

Colonel A. H. GLADDEN..

This gentleman, whom we of Columbia
have, for years past, delighted to honor,
and who has won for himself distinction,
reputation, and the high esteem of his
iellow-cltlzens of his native State, leaves lis
this morning for the West. He has
formed business connection in New
Orleans, whittier he goes, carrying with
him the kindliest regards and the best
wishes OF our community for his future
success.
The Mexican war developed in Col.
GLADDEN. brave and accomplished Of
ticer, and his gallantry and courage in
the closing desperate battles of that war
are too well known 10 require repetition.
When Col Butler fell at the head of his
regiment, the command devolyed upon
Col. GLADDEN.. who, with his brave men,
continued triumphantly to sustain the
honor and fair fame of South Carolina.
Since his return, he has been honored by
many testimonials of pubic esteem, of all
which he has proved himselfa most worthy
recipient. AT this time he is in the second
term Of the Intendancy of Columbia, and
we feel sure that our community will
award to him the merit of great efficiency
and energy in the discharge ofthe duties
Of that office.
Hisdeparture from our community will
be regretted by his fellow-citizens for the
State loses a gallant son, and our town a
useful citizen and an accomplished gem
teman. May prosperity attend him.

The EprroarAL CosvrsnoN.-We, in

The EDITORIAL CoNvENrIoN.-We, in
common with the other presses Of Char
lesion, have been charged with want Of
"iraternal feeling" towards our brethren in
the country. This charge has originated
in our alleged indifference to the proposal
of convention Of editors, to be held in
Columbia in December next. Had some
definite object been assigned, were it only
by way CT social greeting even, or in
deed anything whatever, we would have
before this come out, for or against it,
But we can see no connection between q
want Of "fratcrnal feeling" and indifference
to a convention whose objects, If foreshad-
owed at all, are at best most vague. Nor
did we know that we had to choose be-
tween the alternative of endorsing such a
convention, or Of being credited with a
deficiency of that very natural sympathy
which binds together the sons of one pro-
fession. A convention, even of editors,
might be, like any other convention, q We
ry 'illv affair. There are an hundred cir
cumstances, any one Of which would make
it so. none more surely than its being with
out an object. Proud as We are of our
calling, we do not for moment imagine
that convention composed of our breth-
rem and ourselves must of necessity be a
thing worth writing about or going to.

Attempt at Counterfeiting.

Chesterfield District in this State, wrote 10
an engraver in Philadelphia, which letter
was signed by a man named Smith, of the
same District, enclosing a % note of the
Wadesboro' N. c. Bank, instructing the en-
graver to strike off certain number, and TO
send so many to Hoonsboro' p. o., and JEFF.
serson, in Chesterfield Dist, and to Hickory
Head, in this Dist.
The engraver having received no authority
from the Bank, wrote to the President,
who, on receipt Of the letter, sent as many
unsigned notes TO the eugraver, as Griffith
o. Smith had ordered These notes the en-
graver then despatched to Griffith, who ac-
knowledged the receipt ofshem, which letter
acknowledgment the engraver sent forth
with to the President of the Bank. The
Cesbier was then despatched to Chesterfield
&. H., to arrest the offenders, when they get
ting wind Of it decamped. A man by the
name Of Evans has also absconded, he, also,
having been concerned in some way In the
Transaction. Griffith IL man Of family and

we are decidedly in favor of the cash sys.

of the Newberry Sentinel. to make nc

Feminine Whirligig.

European papers state that girl is now
being exhibited in Paris, who possesses
the power of turning round on one leg for
space oftime which it is scarcely possible
to believe. On one OCCASION, Md'lle An
geline performed three hundred revolutions
IN minute She does not appear at all
glddy after the operation, and is a remark
able pretty and finely formed person. Her
feet are very small, but of a singular mus
cular development. Perhaps the most
striking part of the exhibition is where she
hts circular saw to her waist, in order
that her visitors may test the force with
which she spans, by applying to the saw
pieces of wood.
Hercostume is complete suit of elastic
crimson silk, which displays admirably the

The GREAT METHODIST CHURCH CASE.
The New York papers published the
port of John w. Nelson, esq, the COM
missioner to whom was referred the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church case, for adjustment
OF accounts between the Church North
and South, by which it appears that the
property, previous to the division of the
institution into two sections, was upwards
OF S562,OOO. The profits from that
period, 1s45, 20 January, 1852, have been
over S255,0OO; varying annually from
1900 to S6S,oOO. The aggregate value
of the Book Concern, at the commence
ment Of this year, was $6Os,431, the in
crease since 1845 being about $4,000.
1t appears, also, that the profits paid to
the Northern beneficiaries, since the di-
vision Of the Church, have been $4,000.
The Southerners did not receive anv
during that period, the Northerrers con-
tending that in consequence of their vol
untary secession, they were not entitled to
participate in profits.
The Southerners have taken exceptions
to the report, and the matter is again
before the Circuit Court, and will not be
disposed flor several days. The South
erners contend that they should receive
their share in the money, and that they,
are entitled to $4,000 more than is
allowed them, while the Northerners
contend that the sum due the Southern
church is S56,4s6 SO, deducting $1o,1s4
10, interest, on the value of the three
Southern news papers, all the profits of
which the South have retained. leaving
due the South for dividends and intrest,
to October /, 1852, $40, 500 26. The
number Of travelling preachers entitled to
benefit Of the fund is, 3,3O3 belonging to
the church North, and 1920 belonging to
the church South.
In relation TO the payments to the widow
OF Bishop Hedding, it is stated that the
Bishop bequethed $4,000 to the Book
Concern, subject to an annuity Of 800
year to his widow, which has been paid,
and should be deducted from the share of
profits due the South.

Our Paper.

WITH what alacrity can man 60 to work
when he knows his efforts are appreciated,
This is illust rated in our case. When we
first commenced our labors at Lancaster, we
hoped indeed, to be sustained by the peo-
pie, but knowing the District to be compar-
atively small, we did not look to our circula-
ton being in one year as many rs five hun
dred. Ii is eight months to-day that we
launched our little bark, and although our
harbor was small to beat about in, our cap
tain young, our pilot deaf, and our sailors
and cabin boy inexperienced but willing, we
cast aloose and steered onward, determined
to spare no effort to beat against the breeze,
clear every rock and obstacle, and compete
with other craft on the ocean Of newspaper
life. And this, friends and patrons we have
done. We now print twenty-five quires,
(6o0 copies) of paper weekly, and the cry is
still they come. Scarcely day passes but
we enter the name of subscriber on our
book. This is not all common modesty
forbds us to speak of the compliments we
have received. We are glad our friends are
satisfied, and we assure them our efforts are
progressive. t,n the return Of our deaf pi-
lot, we expect to hoist up new sail or two,
and place streamer on our topmast. We
urge You then to keep on in your laudable
efforts. We have some tried friends in Lam
caster Dist, and though grateful, rery grdte-
ful for the past, we request them to keep
moving, the more encouragement we receive,
the better able will we be to give better
paper.
We intend to perfect our arrangements by
the first Of January, so that it is desirable
that those wishing to take passage on our
bark, should report themselves as early as
possible at the captains office.
We conclude rs we commenced" with
what alacrity can a man 60 to work, when
