Mr.. EDITOR: No one who has had the patfenoe
to read that curiosity nlteraure and politics, called
"The Edge6eld Intormer," can be at all surprised
that so striking character, should have its adren,

The front Of heaven was full Of fiery shapes,
or burning cressets; and, at his birth,

THERE is scarcely news paper IN all South caro-

teeming with accounts OF public meetings, and ANNA

Calls for volunteers and pecuniary uid are NOW

Young men in some places, are offering their services
to fight the battles of slavery, and vndicate ut the

business. A test was now applied to q lot thns
