FOR TIE ADVERTISER.

Mn. Ep1Ton.-Dear Sir: see it announced
in the "Adrertiser" that PHILLIP p. WHITE,
"Thc Great Temperance Lecturer" is to ad-
dress the citizens Of Edge6eld in few days
feel it my duty therefore TO inform the good pco-
pie of our district against such man, holding,
as he does, principles adverse 10 slavery
In June, 1850, Travelled with him from
Huntsville Ala, to Nashville Tenn, and from
there down the Cumberland River to Padua
on the Ohio River At Huntsville he declared
himself in favor of slavery, and said lie believed
it scriptural institution, of divine origin, &c.
But as soon as he got on board the steamer
Sleigo (upon which was also passenger he
made tile abuse of slavery his constant theme of
convcrsation-said " it was a curse TO the coun
try" " that he was maturing a plan for its abo-
lition, and he hoped in short time it would be
successfully carried out" llewas the peculiar
favorite of some California ,cnligrants who were
on board and afterwards proved themselves
abolitionists at Martins Landing ON the Mo.
River, where we set them ashore. Every
Southern man and slave owner on board was
shocked at his open and bold attack upon slave
ry, and that too within the border Of two slave
States. If it had not been for his wife and
daughter, he would have been put ashore. Mr..
PAUL, slave owner, OF. Nashville, who had
taken passage on the same boat and was, like
Mr.. WHITE, bound for Boston, TO attend the
meeting of the Grand Division of Sons Of Tenn
pcrancc was so offended at his remarks that he
said. if such thing was possible, lie would take
another boat rather than travel with such a man.
warned him then Of the. great impropricty Of
su:h principles being publicly avowcd, and told
him that il ever he came South again 10 lecture
I would publish him as an aboliti"nist. To
many of my friends wrote about it before
left the S,camcr-among them was c. J.
GLOVER of your village.
Iwritc this, sir, not to injurc Mr.. WHITE or
the cause of Temperance, but to protect our
selves against such insdous enemies Of our i'll
stitutions.
Up 10 the time when met with Mr.. WHITE
and heard his declaration, ! was Son of Tcn-
pcrancc, but seeing that the use and virtues o
Temperance were to be corrupted by abolition,
Withdrew. Very respectfully. yours,
GEO. ". JONES.

RAILROAD MATTERS,

THERE is 4 llalierins prospect, being opened
up to the view IF South Carolina enterprise by
the rapidly increasing business Of Rail Roads.
The probability is now great that the North Car.
olina, Tennessee and North-Grorgia trade will, at
no distant day, be ellec,ually and permanently
pecured TO Charleston, by connexion between
the Anderson terminus Of the Greenville and Co.
lumba Railroad and Chattanooga, the intcrme-
diaie link heing another Railroad recently set
OH foot and for which charters have been granted
BY Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The
city Of Augusta il seem. to us, has stond in her
own light by continuing to throw obstacles in the
way of The Souh Carolina Bail: Road Company s
passing lhe FLYER. sThc result>of this
will be to throw the powerful aid of that Com
pany towards the projected route through the
"Rabun gap" as also that of the Greenvile and
Columbia Company, and Of much other South
Carolina capital, not directly connected with
either Company.
Our friends Of the Constitutionalist may find
themselves mistaken in putting down the whole
affair as " climerical.' The Rail Road spirit is
fully up in South Carolina, and, If the comtcm-
plated survey brings to light no greater difficulties
than are now anticipated, this upper Road will
assuredly be buill-and Augusta will feel it. We
should be sorry for Augnsta's sake; for she has
always been :avorlc little city with lis.

And this is all ,ce know of those hidden volcanic
throes, which the Standards ever-busy inngina,
zion apprehends as being almost ready to burst
forth upon him and his party. If the Secession
wires arc at work, the Standard must cht in some
other quarter if he would sever them.
As 10 the situation of affairs between the two
parties during the last session Of our Legislature,
we have but word to say. They had been so
recently in hostile array, that each was in the
dark as to the others intentions-and there was
consequent distrust OH either side. The session
was not long enough to admit of n proper under
standing between the two contending factions
and the result was that the Convention was left
in "statu quo." The Secessionis,s, however,
did prove by their conduct in the Legislature, that
they were not disposed TO visit party prejudices
upon their opponents. And although this were in
so small matter as the election of officers. vet
It is worthy to be remembered as indicating n
manly and conciliating tone on their part. But
because, amid the disappointment and, perhaps
we may say, modification Of recent defeat they
failed to do whatever their opponents suggested,
they are to be spoken Of now as having clearly
indicated their determination to revolntionize the
State rather than obey the belests of the popular
voice. Now, brother Standard, we ask you, is
this fair-is it generous!
But we take French-leave of the subject.

4 Plea FOR LIFE IasuRASCE.-"M Many
men intend to insure, but still they allow
year after year to slip away and the duty
unperforued. Lulling in easy comfort in
their warm homes, they cannot bring their
mindsto admit the possibility of their flmi-
lies becoming destitute. Let such parents
and they arc too common-contcmplate,
for one moment. on what prccipice their
offspring rests: hanging by the slender
thread Of the life of him, to whom they owe
their own cxistcnce-a life which no sooner
ceases than the brittle fabric on which they
stood, dissolve and leaves bcggars. Think
for one moment of such fate for those
YOU have nurtured, rather bring them mp in
pcnury and want, inurc them to all the rr-
vations which poverty brings in its train
rear them on coarse and humble tare-lcach
them from infancy to toll for daily bread,
and then when you are gone the change VIII
not be great; but do not make the Injuries
of life necessities, and then rudcIy deprive
them of them. Let no man, therefore, rest
until he has done this act of duty, called
upon inpara;vcly to perform by all the laws
of God. Let him rouse his heart 10 full
sense of the fatal error he is lahoring under !;
let him use every means in his power to
make this provision nou, so that he may be
enabled to lay his head on his pillow each
night in the knowledge, that, should he never
see another sun, he has conferred great
boon upon his family, by leaving behind him
the means of placing them, at least, beyond
tic reach of want" Marietta Advocate.

Tea.

A writer in the New York Journal Of
Commerce speaks Of an attempt to introduce
the cultivation Of tea, coffee, indigo, DC,
into this country, towards which some $500
have been subscribed. and TAO acres OF val
liable land devoted, lie says:
"Tca is produced and manufactured in
China ut 4 cost Of cents per pound. In the
Assam and Singphoo countries, it costs 2 to
cents per pound. In Java, the planter sells
his tea to the Dutch Government (who ad-
vances him money for cul;ivation) fur5 cents
per ponnd. The consumers Of ten in Amer
ica pays go to 100 cents per pound, in Eng
land 100 to $50 cents per pound. The tea
that both countries consume is miserable
stuff, having but sprinkling of genuine tea
with the spurious teas of the sea-board of
China. The ten plant is one of the hardest
plants there is. The genuine teas of China
are produced from the 2Sth degrees of north
latitude upwards; the 29th and 3Oth degrees
are the disSicts from which the green and
black teas are exported. These districts are
subject to very severe frosts and heavy snow.
The United States is in every way adapted
10 the production Of tea. Indigo can be pro-
duced to any amount in this country and
for one-third the expense that it costs in East
India. The exports Of tea from America
may become more important than any other
of her staples. a person who nst 8 tea once
day will consume 10 pounds in the year
and twi..c day Is pounds year.
The import of tea into England varies
from SO to 81 million pounds, Of which some
Al milIiors are consumed in the United King
dom. That tea that costs less than Z cents
per pound, and sold at Canton on IN average
Of 90 per cent per pound, is sold to the con-
sumers at 100 to $50 cents per pound.
Therefore, the great bulk Of the people can
not use it; and probably not more than ] :
100000 of the inhabitants out Of 100000
make use of lea daily, as those who do use
it generally do so twice 4 day.
If tea could be had in England ut 4 fair
price in proportion to the cost of production.
and of fair quality, it would not be too much
to say the consumption would be equal to
six pounds 4 head, or some lSO.000.0OO
pounds. The consumption would also in
crease in this country, and in all parts of the
world. In South Australia the people con-
sumo 9 pounds per head. The Chinese use
it all hours md 50 would the people Of all
the east, co they procure it. The quality
of tea canl., be appreciated by that now cy-
ported from China: nor can the trade natn-
rally extend, under present circumstances, in
this country. For instance, the import of
coffee is some l45.OOO.00O pounds; that of
tea varies from 20.O00,O00 to 2S.0O0.0OO
pounds. The rasc would he the reverse If a
good or fair quality Of tea could be had
TIE expense Of introducing ten, indigo, and
coffee plants. ard other cxotics, as set forth
may be $1,000 TO SS.OOO.n
