need not wonder, that the day consecratetl

the Constitution is burned, that patriots and

spirit has great and important effect on

benefits resulting from celebration of Kings

that 1t will bring together some three or
four Southern States. This seems to be n
great desideratun, clearly evinced by South
ern Conventions, &c. But as these are con-
vened for great political purposes, great di-
versity of opinion must necessarily exist
The celebration of the Anniversary of the
battle Of Kings Mountain would obviate this
difficulty. The genius of patriotism presi-
ding, but one sentiment would prevail, con-
sequently it would eyentuate in greater
good. 1t would strengthen the strong bond
by which we are already indissolubfy. con-
nected. Let this be the railying point, and
link after link will be added to the golden
chain that will eventually embrace in its ex.
tension all the Southern members of this
great Confederacy. Let us be prepared to
celebrate these espousals in manner worthy
OF the occasion, A downward tendency of
our Republic seems to be its manifest desti-

MEssRs EDIToRs :-It will. be recollected
thst at our celebration of the 4th of July,
1883, the initiatory steps were taken for the.
celebration Of the anniversary of the battle
of Kings Mountain. For reasons not neces-
sary to mention, the project was abandoned,
with q pretty general understanding that the
celebration should take place on some sue
ceeding anniversary. Since that time We
have scarcely heard The subject mentioned.
We seem TO have forgotten what deep inter
est WAS excited by the bare announcement
that the citizens Of York had determined to
celebrate the anniversary Of the great battle,
30 glorious in the annals Of our revolutiona-
ry history. Ageneral enthusiasm peryaded
the State from the mountains TO the sea-
board, at the prospect Of commemorating an
event attended with such happy results IN the
controversy then pending. The patriotic cit
izens Of South Carolina know the importance
OF such celebration. The time, the place,
the occasion are well calculated to arouse
feelings, more intense than the occurrences
Of any other anniversary We are wont to COM
mcniorate, Frons moral rs we'll as local
causes, Il msist exert healthful appearance
on Us 9 free, enlightened and patriotic people;
indeed It's influence would be as permanent
as the consequences flowing from the event
we celebrate % Z
Here Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, can meet
and kiss as sisters Il was, here their sons
were immolated, willing victims on tho altar
of their countrys freedom. 1t is their COM
mon heritage, their richest treasure. Is the
spot thcr NOT sufficientsy dear to US to make
at least one pilgrimage TO this, the Mecca oi
our libertiesi We can here meet and shed
the tear ofsympathy, and pay homage tc
exalted N8Fth, without being shocked and
diAgusted NTH the indecencies and excesse.
Of the raob3 the low obscenity and vulxarisn
that profancs and desecrates the fourth d

tion- the sacred charter Of our rights and

HARK YE, GIRLS.

1t is high time somebody told you little
plain truth. You have been watched for a
long time, a certain class Of you, and it il
plain enough you are trying plans TO cheat
somebody. You intend to sell chaff for wheat;
and there is danger that some of the foolish
gudgeons will be sadly taken in.
1t may be your fault that you belong to
the 'one idea party'--that the single idea of
getting a husband is the only one that en-
crosses much Of your time and attention.
But it is your fault thatyou pursue this idea

mother Of Eden memory was called d -help'

help you to help you mtiJbaif silly ss.y,' ss.y,'
you have commenced. Men who are worth
having, want women for theirwives. A bun
die of gew-gaws, bound with string of ,flats
and quavcrs, sprinkled with cologne, and set
in n carmine snucer: this Is no help for a
man who expects to raise family Of, boys
and girls on yeritable bread and meat. The
piano and the lace frame are well enough
in their places and 80 are ribbons, and tin
sels, but you can't make a dinner Of the for
rner, nor red blanket Of the hitter. And
awful a. the idea may seem TO you, botl, din

man Is not often able to think deeply. Ali
tins Is not the case because wit is contra

SIR. In your paper of this day Gate find an eX-
tract from a Genoa letter 70 Tie NsrdrS Dahy
Adrertiser intimatng that the Italian exhibitors at
the Crystal Palace complain OF an intended violation
of promise the part OF It's managers. The alega-
ton is that there is reason believe the Crystal Pal
ace Association do not intend 20 return unsod goods
10 foreign exhibitors free Of cost, "a per agreement;
ard 1t Is psnuated if not directly charged tina; there
il some doubt whether the property viii be returned

Permit me. Sir. Oh behalf OF the Association, and
from thorough knowledge OF its plans 20 assure all
foreign exhibitors and their agents IN this country,
that the given at the outset that all arti-
cl,s deposited in the Palace and remaining there at
the 81, go Of the exhibition should returned To the
ulsce, whence they shipped without risk OF cost
10 the ow ners, will be strictly com hel with.
The calumny which has given rise 70 the fears Of
our Italian friends is the offspring oI dishonesty aud
melevoleuce. Some time ago, as YOU SIR, may recol
let. German agent, named ;. kfiie.sDerger, was
detected 10 plferug goods in the Palace. He had
rudt red dfef amenaple 70 our laws but, nj the in

hands Of d. Sheriff and that there was little pros

cl,s eCain Nor was ms all: the fellow nad the lm-
uudence 20 write 10 many of the exhibitors abroad,

that on forW ardug 20 him the sum OF l25 francs
