to some indulgence in oysters, OF oi">. u-.-
wholesome diet We do not ordinarily speak
of oysters us unwholesomc, but many of the
largest and finest which are brought to our
market, are gathered from brackish, not salt,
water. This year the body of fresh water
has extended almost TO our harhor, and even
there the fresh water prcdominatcs much
more than it usually does. As a consequence
Of this, oysters, which requires saft water,
are diseased and dying; many Of them are
dead, weeks ago and vet from the midst Of
these dead piles arc gathered, portion of
that which is sold in our market as food for
man. If the hungry could distinguish be-
tween the sound and the unsound oysters.
there might be some excuse for their obsi-
macy in continuing to eat atthem, but when one
does not know, whether he is swallowing
food, Or poison, his determination, to eat at
all hazards, is little else than courting suicide.
We assure them, upon the bcst authority, that
the % deaths already reported, and several
others yet to appear, have arisen from imPru-
dence of this sort. The existence Of some
such cause in all the cases, leave no room
for doubt on this subject. Our atmosphere,
It is true, has been damp, and temperature
very changeable, but there is no evidence OIL
its having caused Cholera or other epidemic
Let the lovers of Oysters, DC, only abstain
for short time, until our waters resume their
accustomed saltncss, and the reports of Chol
era will soon cease; then they may indulge
without danger, in their lavorite dish.-Sonth

SOUTH CAROLINA,

1t has been the habit of somo snarlcrs
who, from political animosity or prejudice in
dulged their propensity. to snecr at every
thing concerning South Carolina. Her PEG
pie were behind the age, lazy brawlers o
politics, or discontentcd dcmagogues seeking
10 feed thcir political ambition by exciting
the people to continual quarrelling with the
Federal Government. South Carolinians
were people of no cncrgy-leaving the
the resources of their State undcvcloped and
untouchcd-thcir agriculture and commerce
decaying-and, indeed, in all respects un-
worthy of imitation, or even respect, in this
go.ahcad age. OF this sort have been the
frequent comments Of our ncighbors for
years past. Are they true!
South Carolina has more miles of railrods
finished, and in course Of construction, if we
arc not mistaken, in proportion to her terri
tory and population, than any State in the
Union. With regard to her wealth in pro-
portion to her population, the last census re-
turns show that she averages over two hun
drcd dollars more to each citizen than any
other State. In her last appropriation bill
we find she arproatcs about sl50,0Oo
for the purposes of education-Collegc, Cit
adel and Arsenal Academies and Free
Schools. At the last session Of the Legisla.
ture, she pledged her faith and credit to the
extent of one million and q quarter, for the
purpose Of opening up a railway communi-
cation with the great West. She gave liber-
al aid, by loanins her surplus fund to all the
railroads now constructing and projected
within the State. She gave $4,000 to the
Mechanics Institute of Charleston, to aid
them in erecting a building. She gave $780,,
900 to add to and extend her Lunatic Asy..
lum. Sine made an additional appropriation
of $4,000 for the erection of her new
Capitol--to be magnificent building. She
gave $4,000 to educate her Deaf and Dumb
-bcsides many other things Of minor i'm.
portance which we will not stop to enumer.
ate, all of which we bring up as evidence,
not in boastfulness, but as rebutting testimo-
ny to the cavelng SANDERS so wrongfully
brought against our State and her people.
She to-day shows as fair record as any of
her sisters, who have been in the habit Of
Obtaining her-South Carolinan.

I thus mal-trcatcd. While the British. under
Rawdon, were encamping for few days on
the Ridge, parties Of the red-coats would
come to her fathers house, take baskets full
of corn and scatter it along the road for
their horses. One day, her mother was
baking a fat pig, together with quantity of
nice bread, in dirt oven; some Of the
British coming up about the time it was all
thoroughly cooked, uncovered the oven, aud
cried out ;" Come up, boys, we shall have tine
eating to day" Whereupon, they all fell to
like pack of hungry wolves, and left those,
by whose labor the good dinner had been
procured, without morsel. No one dared
to oppose these trespasses-robberies; nor
did the minions Of tyranny even offer to pay
single fartIring for what they had taken.
Late one afternoon, Mrs. Reynolds said,
half furnished Tory, whose thieving pro.
pcnsitics had been greatly developed by the
lawless times in which he lived, went to the
house Of good Wing, to get a "wee Bit
of supper. He was forthwith supplied with
some milk and bread, that he might be in
duced to set down his rife Whilst dis
patching his frugal meal, he boasted that
Watson and his men were not smart enough
to take him. But alas! for the boasted
Loyalist, Captain Watson with one Of his
brothers, James Harris and some others hap
pening to he cavc-dropping, rushed into the
house, and made him prisoner. When the
night had pretty well passed by, it kecame
the duty of James Harris to take his turn
at guarding the captive. But sleep over
coming the guardsman, Monsieur Tory,
who was not very securely ly bound managed
to get hold of hatchet that lay in the room,
and dealt him so hard blow on the nose,
that he was not even able to wake his CON-
rades with cry OF pain. Of course, the
prisoner made his escape, and James Harris
was disfsured for Ic,-uot having after
wards either shape or semblance Of the nasal
organ.
Edward Larramorc, an aged man, was the
reputed possessor Of considerable sum of
money This excited the capdity of the
neighboring Tories; and conspiracy was
directly set on foot, to take the old mans
life, and then take his cash. But Larramore
was apprsed of this combination against
him hy woman, who acted the part OF a
Delilah towards one of the Tories. On the
appointed day, three daring fellows skulked
about the premises, from morning till sunset,
to see that the way was clear for the un.

each prisoner, bringing them both back in
triumph TO their cncampment, which they
had Just quilted in such hot haste. 1t is to
be regretted that, the recollection of many
a skrmish like this, will soon pass away into
the deep shades Of forgetrulness, because the
men who did the fighting lacked "the pomp
and circumstance" of great numbers, and
the patriots, who commanded, were without
the prestige of a high sounding titlc.-There
is man named John Saunders, still living
within FIVE miles of the Ridge, who wit
messed the burning Of Michael Watsons
mill, by the Tories. on a branch Of the Eds
to. On that morning, Mrs. Watson, in the
absence oI her husband, had sent two negro
BOYS with corn to the mill; but, when they
rode up, the mill was on fire, and the Tories
who were standing around, took immediate
possession Of the horses, cmptying out the
corn on the ground, but keeping the sacks
for their own use. Determined to add insult
to injury, they rode these very horses
along by the house Of the rightful owners,
and tauntingly told Mrs. Watson that her
mill wos on frc-thot they had just seen tho
roof fall III. Seeing the Tories on her lIus.
bands horses, and kaowing that it was they
who had burned the mill, she was exaspera.
ted beyond all measure, and replied to them
in the following scathng speech: Yes!
and hope that shall have bread for my
children to eat, while YOU are swinging in
h-ll!' Ut may not be improper here to add
that, Mrs. Watson afterwards united herself
to the Baptist church, of which she con-
tinucd consistent member up to the time
Of her death.) During that summer, she
and her family were often destitute of the
staff of life, aud had recourse to prepara-
ton of milk, called "curd," rs substitute.
Jonathan Gregory, a Bunker, aud a man of
peace by profession, used often to bring
them cakes of bread, which for fear of To.
rics on the way, he kept concealed in his
shirt bosom. And thus we may see 10
what straits the people were reduced in those
troublesome times. Even in l7S0 when
South Carolina was considered a conquered
province, Captain Watson refused to ask
for parole aud take British protection, rs it
was called; for this adherence to the cause
of Liberty, he was arrested, and thrown
into prison at Ninety.SiS. Here lie was in.
carcerated two or three mouths. During
his confinement, Mrs. Watson was frequent
in her visiSts to him, minstering to his wants
and necessities. We were told by her
da" ;n.law, that she often rode alone

INCIDENTS OF THE REVOLUTION,
IN EDGEFIELD
EY ACSTEISCS.

TIE heroes and heroincs Of our American
Revolution are dropping off, one by orc, like
"autumnal leaves before the wntry blast"
and very soon the portals Of the tomb will
have closed upon the last Swriror OF that
iAustrinus generation, which poured out their
blood like water in the cause of Freedom.
Our memorable struggle for independence
gave rise to many noble deeds, the n:cmory
Of which will inevitably be buried along
with tho pure patriots, who lived in " the
times that tried meu's souls and wrans
won,ar's tender heart witt, untold agonies.
We have, therefore, thought it not all un
profitable work 10 secure from oblivion, some
Of those traditions, which have not vet ap.
rearcd in any pubic print; to the truth of
which, however, there are still living witncs-
SOS in the country to testify. We propose
to write down among other things, few
items respecting the hardships and suferings
Of priraie individuals whose history is too
often overlooked in the records of the past.
Johnson, in his traditions, has given hrie!
sketch Of the lie and services of Captain
Michael Watson, but several incidents have
been omitted, which ought to have had "a
place in the picture" When quite a youth,
lie came from Virginia with his father, who
settled on the Ridge, in EdyeGeid District,
about the year l745. Most of Capt. Wat.
sons posterity are still living in this neigh
borhood; he had but one son, Elijah Wat
son, Senior, who was Il member of the Leg
islaturc, when the Notification excitement
was at its zenith, and who was himsclf Il
NulIifcr. johnson says that Michicl Wat
son served in two expeditions against the
Cherokee Indians; once before the COM
menccmcnt Of the American Revolution, mn
der Col. Grant and the next time under Gen
Williamson, during that summer when the
British made their iruilless attack on Sulli
vans Island. His residence being directly
on the great tboroughlare, leading from
Charleston to Cambridge, was exposed tt
the hostile visits of the British, as wei! a.
the Tories; and his well known energy ant
courage, together will, the great number o
active Wings who were attached to hi
command, made him an object Of peculia
hatred with his enemies. We will JUS
mention, in this connection, that, in th'
company under the command of Captain
Watson, vas the father Of Col. B. Hagood
the proprietor of Cnsar's Head) The 10
tics had a place Of gathering in a larg
swamp, near Orangeburg. This spot wa
