PERSONAL.

WE had clearly taken ground against the Order OF
Know Nothings as q party of dangerous tendencies
and especially useless to Southern interests. Disin.
clined nevertheless any regular discussion Of that
Patys politics. we had contented oursef with placing
before readers certain papers theeunto pertaining,
which we regarded covering the question COM
pletely. We adopted the argument our own and 30
announced in a paragraph or two calling attention to
the same. What then was our surprise upon finding
in the last number Of the I" Advertiser," at the
head of''ReIgious Department" downright and
leay approval of letter written in direct contraven-
ton of our main selection. The circumstance calls
for an explanation. 1t is this:
Some months ago friend of ours suggested that
"Relgious Department would perhaps be a
useful appendage to paper and that be would will
Iingly take charge Of it. The proposition vas acce.
ded to- and under the style and title Of NEos EpIs
copos" the said person entered upon the duties thus
marked out for himself With every one connected
with the paper, we felt and still fee obliged to him
for his trouble on our account and we regret having
now to object to his interfering with matters over
which it was never intended TO give him the
direction We are forced to do this or leave our paper
liable to misconstruction. The political sentiments
Of the Aduertiser have been uniform and consistent
and we desire they shall remain so. If any one has
communication to offer al any time adverse to our
views and principles, we will gladly give him room
as we have ever done. But for those concerned in
the management of one and the same sheet TO be at
the same time Know Nothing and anti-Know Nothing
is ridiculous state of matters which we by
relish. 1t is for this that we here dis city
disclaim the politics Of " NEos EPIscoros" as not
at present the politics of this paper.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

WEhear nothing very lately Of the Savannah Valley
Road. What does that Company intend doing The
Greenville & Columbia Direction have had survey
made Of the route from their Road to Aiken. The
Company is TO act upon the matter this week. In the
mean time proposition is being made by them to the
Laurens Railroad company, inviting the latter
in and be absorbed. The Southern Patriot seriously
obectso this proposition on the ground lhath Green.
vile & Columbia Company would sustain loss there
by. The " Laurensville Herald" objects to the ar.
rangement with equal stress, the ground that the
Laurens Road would lose by the operation. The
e" Herald maintains that the Greenville road is more
in debt, proporlionally than the Laurens road, and
that the latter is actually doing the better business OF
the lwo The object of the Greenville g. Columbia
Company is supposed to be the extension Of the Lau
rens branch to Greenvile 10 enable them TO compete
with the Spartanburg road for tile trade and travel Of
Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. Wha,
then is to become of the segment Of their Road from
Newberry tuia Greenwood, Williamson &C., to
Greenville! That part Of it which connects Green.
wood and Belton will probably be sold to the Rabun
Gap Company. What then of the piece from New

from Bellon to GreenvilIe! Will they he given up
1t would seem that our Railroad enterprises get.
ting into something Of tumble. And we respectfully
suggest the following improved chart as the one desi-
rable under The circumstances: Let the Savannah
Company build their Road connecting Anderson and
Hamburg Let them build too with the help of Edge
field and Charleston branch from Dorn's to Aiken
running by Edgefeld c. II. Let the GreenviIle &
Columbia Company remain as they are. Let the
tI,a liz
Let the Rabun Gap Company build TO Anderson and
no further. Let them there make arrangements with
the Columbia Company for the carrying of produce
destined for Columbia and the Eastern par, of the
State Let them negotiate with the Savannah Com
pany for The transportation of produce intended for
Hamburg, Augusta, Charleston &c. And let US then
call halt in Ralroading until we shall have had full
time 10 see how the whole business works.

the present week, at Abbevllle c. H. The delibera.
tions Of the body are anticipated with much anxiety
by the citizens of Western Carolina. To of Edge
field, the question Of building the long talked Of
Meeting link, between point the Greenville &
Columbia Road and Aiken, is Of decided interest
We glad to learn that several gentlemen from this
vicinity have gone up watch the progress of this
discussion. 1t is TO be hoped that they will bring us
glad tidings Of great joy when they return; which is
to say that shall have been resolved to build this link
forthwith. 1t has been in expectancy long enough
The times are growing better. The bonds Of the
Greenvile e. Columbia Company are rising in the
market. The Rabun Gap Road is going forward stead

begin this work. We suppose it is not to run by our

A REFLECTION.


The more sensible and genteel Know Nothings do
not object to the Roman Catholics as Christians
Their apprehension is that the perfect system of secu
lar polity, which that Church possesses, may become
too powerful and be converted in our Republic to
wrong political purposes. This we understand to be
the position Of the Charleston Evening Nes, decided
y the most hgh.,oned exponent of this Order at the
Senth.
Now, if this be the only objection dnd this the only
cause of hostility TO the Church of Rome, why, we
ask may no. the apprehensions exist TO other
denominations Of Christians! What security can the
Methodsts for instance have that they and their
lar poity are not to be attacked ne1t7 1t has been
the remark of sagacious men held in high public est
nation, that the Church Government established by
JOHN WESLEY is the most powerful organization ex-
stant, whether for spiritual or temporal purposes.
And when consider the subsection ESQ faithfully
yielded in the man of members to class-leaders, of
cassleaders to the itineracy, Of the itneracy 10
presiding elders and of elders to bishops the opinion
appears correctly founded But who shall dare to
raise voice. in free America, against the poli.y or
privileges of this highly esteemed branch Of the Chris
tian Church! A year ago the reply would have been,
s Not one" Since that time however this New Order,
with its banner Of Prescription, has come upon the
stage of American politics. and if its principles pre-.
vail, the friends of Religious Liberty may well ,rem-
ble for the conseouences

The WASHINGTON SEKTlNEL.-We admire
the common sense and able manner in which the
Sentinel discusses the slavery question. If the
Southern newspapers would alI take out and
expose The arrant absurdi,y of the intermedling
of The North. and prove to them, as the Sentinel
does, that justice 10 the South and her peace
and welfare takes nothing from Northern rights,
the North would be sienced, or the South so
united; in intelligent defense of her rights as to
carry every just and constitutional measure.-
The Sentinel also gives the North some lessons
in favor of the practical morality Of African
slavery, and its practical good to the race. As
to the abstract morality, Of slavery, the North
should be referred to the Bible, history, sacred
and profane, the physical and intellectual differ
encss Of races, and the prophetic announcement
Noah after the flood. AS to the christian duty
of all. parties in the premises, let the North be
referred to the New Testament. As to the fu-
gilive slave law, we hope they will be referred
to the example and teaching of the Apostle
Paul, rather than Horace Greely and Garrison.

In SEBASTOPQL.

A letter from Russian in the besleged
city, published in an Austrian paper, gives
an interesting and probably accurate view
Of the state of affairs in Sebastopol. The
letter is dated May 81:
In spite of all the efforts which the enemy
have made, our ,bulwarks stand as fast as
ever. Long before the bombardment began,
the journals from the West informed US that
our walls and forts were speedily to be put
to q new proof This made US redouble
our precautions, and we bore firmly the tru.
!y murderous fire hollische] which threat.
ened all with destruction. Nevertheless,
thousands were devoted to death, and it
made one shudder to see the Elborus the
steamboat pass every two hours during the
bombardment, from the south to the north,
with SO many wounded that she could scarce.
ly carry them.
While standing in bastion No. 4-the bas-
ton which suffered most of ALL forgot the
danger to which was exposed in admira-
ton Of the cool and stoical conduct of our
sailors. They fell and expired without a
cry, though racked with the most fearful
agonies. The southern side of our town
has suffered most severely and is hardly to
be recognized; 500 houses have been total.
'ly destroyed, and grass is growing on their
ruins. The beautiful theatre no longer ex-
lists. Though the upper districts of the
town are not so much damaged, yet there is
not single house to be seen which does
not bear manifest traces Of the bombardment.
The streets are everywhere ploughed up by
shot, and the pavement is totally destroyed;
while at every corner stand whole pyramids
of the enemy's cannon balls and exploded
shells, which were daily collected before the
opening of the fire. In many streets FIVE or
six such pyramids are to be seen, each Of
them from eight to ten feet high. Neverthe.
less, business is continued, and stores are
opened for the sale. Of goods. Prices, how.
ever, are enormously raised, and sugar costs
one silver rouble (2s.) per pound.
The supply of meat is more than abun-
dant, but bread is exceedingly scarce. The
streets are filled with people, and crowds Of
children run to and fro, assisting at the
construction Of barricades, and pelting each
other with balls of clay. Our life in Sebas.
topol is agreeable to US, for use is second
nature. The greatest activity prevails. in the
harbor Of -Eztarin, where cannon balls, pow.
der, lascines, sacks and provisions are landed
in astounding quantities, as they are for
warded from the northern forts. In word,
neither the thunder Of the enemy's cannon,
nor the siege Of Sebastopol is suffered to
disturb US any longer; we mourn over our
adversaries, who are shedding their blood
without result before our brazen walls. We
read many absurd statements about the con.
dition of the besieged; but the. absurdest of
all is, undoubtedly. the news that we suffer
from want Of supplies, and that hundred
and hundreds of US are daily cut off by
death-of all which no trace is to be seen.

THE SOUTHERN PATRIOT.

We give place this week to rather caustic COM
munication signed BLACK JAcK," in which the
Editor of the "ISouthern Patriot" is handled more
unceremoniously than we could desire. While We
agree with our correspondent that the Patriot" at
all times and all occasions too full Of sneers and
iuuendos against its political opponents, We yet pre-
fer, as general rule to give all such provocatons the
go.by under the we'll grounded motto of F." Nil dispu
tandu de gus.bus." 1t is impossible though to avoid
the conviction, that the paper in question has lost, in
the estimation Of some good men, much Of its value
and interest by too frequent sprinkng of those
caled.for taunts and invidious comparisons which
render enemies bitter while they make no single friend
Confident as We are, Of its Editors worth and purity
of character, of his information and editorial ability,
we have been from time to time half sorry and half
mad to find the Patrio still bent upon nterlarding
otherwise admirable articles with filings of unpleas
ant character. Still, we should have found it
in our heart to indite an attack like that of BLACK
jack" and, in publishing this attack, we must take
occasion to say that do not consider Major PERRY
justly chageable with several offences therein laid at
his door. With all its Objectionable features land
what paper has not list Of such we have ever re-
garded the Southern PATRIOT honest and fearless
journal. Indeed, but for its Union monomania Ito
adopt the Patriots style of epithet,) we should
ever welcome it one Of the best papers in the whole
country
