The Press Co INVENTION.

Some time ago. we called upon the Charles
ton papers, inquiring their reasons for not
fasOfiag The call foE seoavea.ion Of he 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 the rest Of up eoun-
try Editors, would have been pleased to meet
with our Charleston friends, but, for our
part, and no doubt are but declaring the
voice Of our up-country brethren, II the
Charleston Editors consider 1t such silly
affair, they may stay at home---we care not,
and only repent having at any time taken
cognizauce oftheir silence.

United States Senator.

The Legislature at the ensueing session
will have to elect senator Of the U. S.,
tor this State. We have noticed the
informal nomination of several distinguish.
ed edgentlemen for that post Of honor, among
them, Hon. +. w. Pickens, Ex.Goy
Hammond, and Judge Evans. An intel.
iigent friend. at our elbow says that the
Hon. j. A. Woodward is has choice, and
that the talent and tried patriotism as
well as the thorough devotion Of that dis
tnguished gentleman to his own State.
should give him precedence Of all COM
petitors.
The above We take from the Greenville
Mountaineer. which we heartily endorse.
Mr.. Woodward's past course in the House
OF Representatives has been such, as to cnti-
tie him to the admiration Of his constituents
and II he would consent to serve, we know
OF no one in the State more emnently quail
flied for the dignified and responsible Office
Of u. s. Senator.

Last Momonts of the Duke of Yelling
ton.

OF the latest moments Of England's
greatest hero-the captain of the age
the conqucror of Napoleon-the Duke of
Wellington-the Iron Duke-who is now
no more, the London correspondent of the
Philadelphia American gives the annexed
account.-Baltimore Sun.
The mournful event. so long anticipated
by the nation, has come upon the count
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 a 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 -alet, went to awake
his master, but his Grace refused to get
up; one hour afterwards the valet again
went to the Duke, who appeared unwel
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. Hrlke merely prescribed some dry
toast and tea. Subsequently Mr.. Hulke
and DR.. Macarthur consulted together, and
emetics were administered but thew 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 group a.
round him. On one side were Lord Charles
Wellesley and DIR. Macarthur, on the 9TH
er MIR. Hulke and Kendall. the valet.-
About noon a fresh attack came on, and
from that time scarcely any sign of ami
nation could be detected. Mr.. Hulke felt
the action Of the pulse till about fifteen
minutes past three o'clock, when he found
that it had ceased to beat, and declared
that all was over
Thus, on Tuesday, September IA, S52,
the Duke of Wellington expired calmly,
and without struggle or sigh to mark
the exact moment when the vital spark
was extinguished.

The Cash System.

The IAurensville Herald publishes the
names OF those papers in favor Of establish
ing the cash system. Now friend Simpson,
we are decidedly in favor of the cash sys-
tenn, but We coincide with the views
of the Newberry Sentinel. to make no
suggestions before the Convention meets
So fur MS regards subscriptions, it would be
an easy matter to let no paper 90 until the
amount Of subscription be paid, but it would
not be us easy n matter +" enforce the cash
system for advertisements.

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 S562,00O. The profits from that
period, 1s45, 20 January, 1852, have been
over $255,ooo; varying annually from
1900 to oS6s,ooo. The aggregate value
of the Book Concern, at the commence
ment of this year, was $6Os,431, the in
crease since 1s45 being about $4,000.
1t appears, also, that the profits paid to
the Northern benefciaries, since the di-
vision of the Church, have been S113 900.
The Southerners did rot receive anv
during that period, the Northerners con-
tending that in consequence of their vol
untary secession, they were not entitled to
participate in profits.
The Southerners have taken executions
to the report, and the matter is again
before the Circuit Court, and will not be
disposed of for 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 36, deducting $1O,ls4
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 1, 1852, $40, 9O2 26. The
number Of travelling preachers entitled to
benefit of the fund is, 3,3O3 belonging to
the church North, and 1929 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 500
a year TO his widow, which has been maid.
and should be deducted from the share Of
profits due the South.

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'le An
geline performed three hundred revolutions
In minute She does not appear at all
giddy after the operation, and is a remark
able pretty and finely formed person. Her
feet are very small, but of 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 fnrce with
which she spans, by applying to the saw
pieces of wood.
Hercostume is a complete suit of elastic
crimson silk, which displays admirably the
statuesque proportions of this revolutionary
young lady.

The EDITORIAL CoNvENTIoN.-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 a convention of editors, to be held in
Columbia in December next. Had some
definite object been assigned, were it only
by way Of 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
want Of "fratc-nsl feeling" and indifference
to 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 o
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, a We
ry silly 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.

Colonel a. H. GLADDEN..

This gentleman, whom we of Columbia

honor and fair fame of South Carolina.
Since his return, he has been honored by
many testimonials ofpublc 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 of the duties
OF that Office.

Our Paper.

WITH what alacrity can man 60 to work
when he knows his efforts are appreciated,
This is illustrated 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. 1t 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,
(6oo copies) of paper weekly, and the cry is
still they come. Scarcely a day passes but
we enter the name of subscriber on our
book. This is not all common modesty
forbids us to speak Of the compliments we
have received. We arc glad our friends are
satisfied, and we assure them our efforts are
progressive. TN the return Of our deaf pi-
lot, we expect to hoist up a new sail or two,
and place strcamer 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 CRATE
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.

intellectual growth. "No cross on earth,

for crown in Heaven. Then will life be
sweet and full of JOY. And when we bid
