THE WAR IN KANsAs.-If the news
from Kansas be correct-and we have no
reason now to doubt 1.-THE long expected
war has at last broken out. The spirit of
blood is up, and blood will flow plentifully
before this struggle between antagonistic
civilizations is settled. The cause of the Abo-
lition party in Kansas is warmly taken up in
the North, and the fate Of Lawrence awakes
a response in money and arms to vindicate
their threats and retrieve their cowardice.-
What shall we of the South-we of South
Carolina-do in the face of such news p
In the language of Patrick Henry, "Our
brethren are already in the field" and they
must be sustained at any cost. With them
we have a common destiny, and if they fall,
our cause can but suffer. Should the late
news be confirmed, we anticipate that the
people of Charleston will be ready to do their
whole duty in that matter. We anxiously
await it.-Charleston Msrcuy.>

KANSAS,

The telegraphic wire of this morning gives
startling news from the scene of excitement
in Kansas. Whatever be the truth there
can be no doubt that war is commenced, and
that men and means are necessary to sup
port the cause Of the South. When Amer
ican soil was invaded by the Mexicans, elev-
en- hundred of the sons of our Palmetto
State volunteered to protect it, and anxious
ly followed the gallant Butler to the battle
field of American rights. Now, when Sou
thern rights, and the existence of the institu-
tion which constitutes S the framework of
Southern society, civilization, and our very
existence as, a people, are invaded, does it
not become them, with increased obligation,
to come forward and do service in the cause
which affects our. very homes?
We find in the Newberry Mirror of yes
terday an article which suits the occasion,
and saves our writing out the same senti-
ments as are there expressed.
The suggestion is good one for conven-
tion-but if it is to be done, no time is to
be lost:
KANSAS NOTHING FARTHER BE
DONE ?-The news from Kansas is of a most
exciting character. 1t is such as to call for
redoubled efforts to save the Territory from
the grasp of the Abolitionist. The South
must send more men, or We fear those alrea-
dy sent will be driven out by the Abolition
lists. The two parties are infuriated against
each other, blood has been split, and de-
cision by the sword seems inevitable.
Mr.. Wilkes, one Of the Anderson Compa-
ny who went out a short time since, return
ed to get further aid. We also see from our
Georgia exchanges that two Of Buford's 5
Company have returned for the same pur-
pose. There is necessity for action, imme-
diate action. In the North strong efforts are
making to food the territory with Northern
emigrants. The movement must be met by
the South or the Territory is gone.
South Carolina has done good deal, but
not all that she can or ought to do. She can
do ten times as much and not feel it. Let
the people arouse themselves to the magni'
tude of the crisis that is upon them.
Heretofore each District has acted separ
ately Would not Convention of all the
Associations in the State be expedient?-
Would it not bring the attention of the peo'
pie more thoroughly to the subject? Would
it not be the means of exciting combined
effort in this great cause?
We call the attention of editors to this
suggestion. If not this, some other plan
must be adopted to keep the ball in motion
If Kansas is lost the South may surren
der. 1t will give an impulse and audacity
to abolition that nothing can arrest. Hence
it is question oflife and death to the South
Every district in South Carolina ought tc
address itself at once to the matter, and sub
scribe at least an amount equal to the annu
al tax. Let Newberry lead and the rest will
follow. ACTION.

\ SOFT Vo1cE.-Wc agree with that old
poet, who said that low, soft voice was an
excellent thing ina woman. Indeed we feel
inclined to go much further than he has on
the subject, and call it one of her crowning
charms. No matter what other attraction
she may have; she may be as fair as the Tro-
jan Helen, and as learned as the famous Hy-
patia of ancient times, she may have all the
accomplishment considered requisite at the
present day, and every advantage that wealth
can procure, and yet if she lack low sweet
voice, she can never be really fascinating.
How often the spell Of beauty is rudely
broken by coarse, loud talking! How often
you are irresistibly drawn to a plain unassu-
ming woman, whose soft silvery tones render
