EW The Edgefeld South Carolina Adperfi-
ser thus speaks of the Southern Press and its
assaiants. Its prophecies shall be verified if
human energy can accomplish them. state of
suspended animation is not death. Let friends
and foes remember this:
SOUTHERN PREss.-The papers from all por-
tons of the Union, with the exception of those
in our own State, are down upon the Southern
Press. The various presses have arrogated to
themselves the p ivilege of determining that the
"Southern Press stands STILL" "fhe poor Press
ia in queer fix" at was an end of usefulness,
and at variance with common aA1se for the
Southern Press nnt1p support Pierce" &c, g..
They imagine, we suppose, that the Press is
in it's "seer and yellow leaf" and, az usual, are
ever ready to strike while their victim is ap-
parentlv PROSTATE. Those who in the days Of
its prosperity dared not cross lances with its
powerful arm-now that that arm has become,
as they think, paralyzed and the tornquet
presses its most precious limb for amputaton,
are among the foremost to enter the lists against
their enfeebled foe.
The New York Herald in an insolent and
taunting manner saye: "We suspect the Edi
tor only, knows half his business--and badly
that" Now had the Herald stopped here. we
should have left the Editors OF the Press to fight
! their own battles, but when il goes on to re-
proach the Press as follows, sit can only admire
the great Calhoun, and stand alone, rs he stood
alone--solitary and alone' we deem it the duty
of every American to set his face against its Ian
gauge aud to reckon it among
"The host delighting to deprave,
| Who track the steps Of glory TO the grave
To have been an admirer of Mr.. Calhoun GER
tainly reflects no shame or dishonor upon the
| Press. Could il stand "alone, as he stood
alone-solitary and alone" let US assure the
Herald that it would not only now be the ad-
miration of the world, but the great land mark
for future generations.
Now we are in favor of giving the Press
fair trial. Though difference of opinion be-
tween its Editors upon political questions
should, for while, render it's columns less in
teresting than usual, though by sudden split
its pen and head should lose for n while, Their
accustomed style, and both should jar, who can
say but that in short time it will resume ita
former proud and prominent position? 1t is
but right to give it fair sliowiug-thus much
indeed, the high position which it has heretofore
occupied demands.
However much the Herald may rejoice over
the msfortunes of the Press, we think he might
at least allow the Great Caroinian to res in
peace. If by indirect thrusts he attempts to
tarnsh the memory of Calhoun, and hang the
black escutcheon over his fair name we will not
only cay that those attempts prove futile and
suicidal. but apply bis own language to himself
tive suspect the Editor only knows half bis
business-and badly that" Let him not per-
form the duty of sexton and grave digger les,
he fall into the pit which his own hands have
digged. Let him not Glamour too loudly for the
prey, lest the scarf and cypress should fall ia
his share.

were catalogued for sale series Of (un-
puhlished) letters from Shelley to his
wife, revealing the innetmost secrets of
his heart, and containing facts, moi
wholly dishonorable facts, TO a fathers
memory, but such as a son would wish
to conceal. These letters were bought
in by the son Of Shelley-the present
Sir Percy SheIIey--and are now proved,
we are told,to be forgeries. To impose
on the creduity of collector is a min>
or offence compared with the crime Of
forging evidence against the dead, and
still minor, as, in one instance, against
the fidelity OF woman.
The forgery of Chatterton injured
no one but an imaginary priest; the
forgery Of Ireland made n great poet
seem TO write worse than Settle could
have written; but this forgery blackens
the character Of great man, and worse
still, traduces female virtue.

Nineta is the name of lake in The island
Of Ruegen, in the Baltic. Tradition says that
in ancient times there Stood a city on this
spot, which sunk, ard the lake came up in
its stead the chime Of bells from the s,cc-
pies IS still often heard beneath the waters.
From the lakes unfathomed waters ringing,
Evening bells sound family through the air
Thus to morlals wondrous tidings bringing
From The far old wondrous city there.
Low it rests, with earth no more connected,
Waters now its lonely ruins lave;
Sill, from pinnacle and spirc reflected,
Golden sparks arc mirrorcd in the wave.
And the bontman who, with eye enchanted,
Once hath seen the light, at sunset clear,
Ever seeks the magic spot undaunted,
lIeeding not the rocks that threaten near.
From the hearts uniathomcd depths. a inging
Comes to me like fantly sounding bells;
All, it cometh wonlrous tiding> bringing,
Of the love once cherished there it tells.
To those depths bcauteous world is given,
Sunken there its ruins still remain;
Still they shine, like golden sparks Of heaven,
In the mirror Of my dream again.
Then, beneath the wafer disappearing,
Would l sink in yon reflection fair,
And, as ifangclic voices hearing,
Fain would seek the wondrous city there.

The Battle Of Bennington.

Events and incidents relating to the

cured to,and cited and remem bered by
the sons Of those brave and patriotic
men who achieved our independence.
The fires Of patriotism should be kept
burning on the altar 1t is with this
view we copy the following interesting
article from New Hampshire paper,
published in 1855. 1t furnishes an ex-

Bennington was particularly mark

strongly, his rear being seven miles
