HON, p. S. BROOKS.

AT the dinner recently given to COL Orr by his con-
iluents of Anderson our immediate representative was
toasted and responded in manner worthy Of himself
and the occasion. We extract below from The "An.
derson Ga=ctte' the complimentary sentiment and a
sketch Of the speech made by COL BRooKsin response
Hon. P. S. BRooKs.-A talented and fearless Re.
preventative. His speeches on the Kansas, Nebraska
and Pacific Railroad bills displayed an originality OF
genius and energy Of thought that did honor 10 him.
self and his constituents
Col. Brooks responded as follows: He felt honored
by the sentiment just offered and the generous manner
in which it was received. He did not feel At liberty
set apart to do hunor to COL Orr He was here TO aid
in doing that honor, as well rs to mngle with the
mountain yeomanry OF Old Pendleton. As Carroll.
man. he was proud of Col. Orr, and his constituents
had every reasM for being proud Of him. He said
that Col. Orr should not leave the service that ne
had done noble work, and should be kept in the har.
ness Col. Brooks regarded the Know Nothing party
as exceedingly dangerous to the South. He ascribed
its origin to The eaousies existing New York against
Observation-Disclosures they under.bid the natives IN cit
labor The foreigners of the North and West had m
proved themselves truer friends TO the souln tan he
native population.
He regarded the Democratic party as the only party
that the South could unite with 1t had been true 10
the Constitution. Were the people Of South Carolina
willing to discard the Democratic party-lhis old oaken
buckei-and embrace this new party in which there
was no purity, or no object but spoils? He for one,
was in favor Of heartily cooperating with il'e Demo-
cratic party. Irwould be grossly unjust and ungenrr.
GUS for the South now to give the cold shoulder to
those Democrats of the North, who had stood ny the
Cons In the event of dissolution, the South
would have greatly the advantage. The commercial
interests of the North dependant upon the great
staples of Southern agriculture. COL Brooks pursued
this subject further but having meagre notes, we are
unable to follow him. His speech was we'll received,
and called forth frequent bursts Of applause.

COY. ADAMS.

His Exceency is now in our District reviewing the
citizen sodcry We ore delighted to see him looking
so senially fine From what We can learn, he is ia
king immensely with the people. His speeches before
the Regiments are characterised by great good sense
very high tone and marked proprety, whether Of
thought or language. The prediction is made that he
will prove one Of the most acceptable popular gov
ernors we have ever had. He is certainly gathering
golden opinions from his fellow citizens Of Edgefied
District we heard one fellow remark "t that JoHS
PRESTON nust be cracker sure enough to beat such
a man as JAMES II. ADAMS"
The governor proceeds from Edgefeld to Abbeville

: T We take the following extracts in reference
to the crops, &C., in Louisiana, from letter which
we received few days since, from a gentleman in
that Stale. The letter is dated
Mt. LEBANON, July 6, 1855.
We have had no available navigation on Red
River this season past. Our cotton crops of 1854
are yet on hand, besides we are incommoded mate
rally in procuring our groceries. Some planters
have hauled lead or so to Washita River, where
by the aid Of fiat boats and few steain (through)
arrivals, some relief was afforded.
".We have had but very little rain for The last
twelve months, and our water courses are uniformly
much lower than eyer known. We had no rain
from 4th April till 18th June, except to lay the dust
on Two occasions, yet strange to say our crops are
not destroyed. In some neighborhoods they had
rains and their crops are fine. think we shall
make corn enough to do US. In South Carolina
such a drouth would have ruined tile corn crops en-
tirely.
"The health Of the country is even better this
season than usual. On the Rivers some sickness has
prevailed"
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1855-08-08
D1FFERENCE OF OPINION.

THE Southern Patriot is opposed to the Order Of
Know Nolhings, but says that ouof all their evil this
much good has resulted: "Know Nothngisln must
KILL for the time being most efiectually, secessonlsm
ard the spirit Of dsunonism, for it is national party
and Union party"
The Evening Ne,ps admitted to be one Of the most
gallant papers in the Southern ranks Of this order
talks very differently, thus: "The work OF political
dsintegra,ion goes on. An Americanzed Southern
Confederacy is a grand idea. In view Of Northern
action it will be realised. What will The Atlantic
border this side of Puritansm do! The fifteen South
ern States will make very good-the grand na:ioa-
Who will join-who secede 2"
Yet the Ne,us wishes New York to goalong with US.
And to say the TRUTH it is very bad idea But is
this Know Nothingism! Not is but the impromptu
expression of single manly spirit of that party Look
to the Nortll-yes, and to Virginia, Tennessee and
North Carolina and it will be found that the Patriot
has not drawn his consulatory reflection in vain.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1855-08-08
UNGALLANT.

The Augusta Const;ulioGaliss thus pitches
ipfo the Know Nothings:
There is another feature of Know Nothingism
which should arouse the indignation and scorn
ofcerery chivalrous heart, and stir up the pro-
foundest sentiments of diSgust. in every social
circle, and around every family hearthstonc. =
This feature is the prescription Of Roman Cath
olic females. II was not enough for Know
/ NothinSism to make war upon Roman Catholic
voters, and foreign born voters, aud those for.
| eisners.who might desire, under our benign and
liberal naturalization laws, to become citizens
But-it mast also take jurisdiction Of the matri.
uloaial department. 1t must invade the inmost
sanctuary of the heart, and hedge in its impulses
and warnings within the pale Of Professionalism
social life. The beautiful. the amiable, the vir.
trfous and refined, OF the Roman Catholic per-
suasion, are virtually denounced as unfit to be
wives Of American ciizens-untt to be moth
crs of those who may be called on 10 hold office
and aid, by their Intelligence and patriotism, in
conduclinqst the affairs OF our common country.
According to the National Know Nothing Con-
stitu,ion, (sce Article ;, Sec. l.) no man can be
4 member who was born OF Roman Catholic
parents or reared under Roman Catholic inhu-
ence, or united in marriage with Roman Cat!io-
liz. For The good Of the American cause,
State, District, or Territorial Councils may, in
this lust respect, make III exception; but E" no
member who may have 4 Roman Catholic wife,
shall be eligible 10 Office in this Order.'
Fellow-citizens Of Georgia, is not this inri-
sion of the sanc;iy of domestic life, this war
upon females, unworthy the age we live in-un-
worthy the free government OF our fathers
unworthy the chivalrous and manly spirit OF
Southern men-unwortiy of any party which
has the least claim to patriotic motives and re-
publican aims.
If we mistake not, such an unmanly and in.
sidious attempt 10 fetter the purest affections OF
our nature, to draw. social distinctions among
us, founded in religion, and throw obstacles in
the way of marriages among The young, attract
cd to each other by the mutual sympalhies OF
youth, of cengenial dispositions aud tastes
should meet the sevcrcst apprehension, OF every
rirtuous member Of society, male and female.
The wseac.cs among the Know NothlngS
need take but one step further 10 make Roman
Catholic girls the greatest bellies Of the land
among al young men worth having. That is
. 10 subject every unmarried man among their
lpdre to fines. dcnunciations and expulsion, who
tlarcs to court Catholic girl, or even to pay
her,a visit, Or be seen walking with her in the
streets. 1t would soon empty the subterranean
caves, and the old barns and bucket factories. OF
every spark Of c.iy"lrous feeling and manly
pride existing among their unmarried members

Coop ADvcE.-The Hon.. Edward Everett
recently delivered an address to the pupils of
the public schools of Boston, which closed with
this language;
"Let your present superior good fortune, my
young friends, have no other effect than to in.
spire you with consideratoness and kind feelings
towards your srhoolmates. Let not the dark
passions, and base selfish and party feelings
which lead men to hate and villify, and seek to
injure each other, find entrance into young and
innocent bosoms. Let those early honors lead
you to q more strict observance of the eleventh
commandment towards those whom you have
dishonored in those school day rivalries; or who,
from any cause, have been prevented from shar.
ing with you the enjoyments of this day. and
as all of you may not exactly know what the'
eleventh command ment ISL will end q poor
speech by telling you good story.
The celebrated Archbishop Upsher was in,
younger days wrecked on the coast of Ireland.
at place where his person and character were
alike unknown. Stripped of everything, he
wandered to the house of dignitary of.the
church, in search of shelter and relief; craving
assistance as brother clergyman. The dlgns-
tary, struck with his squald appearance attsf
the wreck, distrusted his tale, and d9dDtea his
character, and said that so fat fro4 being a
clergyman, he did not believe he pould even tell
how many commandments there were. II can
at once satisfy you" said the Archbishop, a.that
am not the ignorant imPostor; you take me for.
There are eleven commandments" This answer
confirmed the dignitaty 10 his suspicious, and he
replied with sneer, alndeed, there are but ten
commandments in my Bible: tell me the elev-
enth and will relieve YOU" e Hereit is," said
the Archbishop, "a new. commandment give
unto you, that ye love one another"

CHILDREN ATTACKED BY RATs.-A corraspon
dent writes us that three or four children who
were playing in the yard Of No. 2 Wooster
street, yesterday afternoon, were attacked by
four enormous rats. Each rat singled ont 4
victim, and sprung spuaing upon the little girls
The girls ran to the house, but one little boy OF
two year was followed by Il rat, which caught
him by the right knee and held on until the
child's grandfather went to his assistance. The
rat would not run, and so he was. killed. At.
tempts have been made to poison these rats pre-
vioasly, and it is feared that the bite upon the
ehiId's knee may prove serious. 1t is singular
affair.-New Haven Courier.
