it favor in the hearts of your people. The effects
Of the traffic upon your slave population ore so
distinctly marked and aggravated that masters
will see Mt once that any other law, except the
one pronoscd, cannot give them protection. Mo-

be addressed to South Caroinians.

THE WAR IN KANSAS.

Since our last issue we have received detailed
accounts of the affair at 0ssawattome, but as yet
no intelligence has come to hand in regard to the
further operations of either "army." The "Army
of the North under LANE, numbering between
l,500 and 1000 men, and composing the entire
Abolition force in Kansas, were in camp at Law
renee, awaiting attack. Five hundred Southern
men were stationed on the North side of Kansas
river, above Lecompton, with the view of driving
back any reinforcements for LANE, and of inter
cepting his army fthey should attempt to retreat;
while the main body, of 1900 to 1900 men, were
gathering strength in camp at "Bull Creek" pre-
says that LANE designs to attack Westport, but 1t
is probable that his army will remain in their for
tifcations at Lawrence until they are routed by
the s'Law-and- Order" men. They were complete
" surrounded. and, unless some unforeseen event
occurs to stop operations, the great battle will ere
this have been finally decided.
Since the resignation of SHANNON, Hon. DANIEL
WoopsoN has acted in the capacity of temporary
Governor and has taken prompt measures IN con-
junction with the United States forces to quell the
disturbances. The new Governor, GEARY, had
not arrived in the Territory; and will not in oil
probability take command until ''the day after
the feast" The following is a statement of his
Instructions from which it will be that he is

Columbia Market.
SEPTEMBER. Is.


Coiton.-It will be recollectcd that we stated in
our last weekly report that the news by the Persia
from Liverpool to the 23d ultimo had no auotable
effect on prices in our market, and that therefore
we were compelled to continue our former quota
tons of 9@11@c. Interviewing the week just ter
minated, we find we are compelled to report the
same thing, viz the supply is still light and the
demand good at unchanged prices. On Saturday
four days later advices from Europe by the Cana
dian, and up to the 9th ult., were received, re-
porting the cotton market steady aud unchanged
in every respect, with sales for the four days Of
10000 bales, including $500 to spectators, and
1000 to exporters. sWe can only say that these
accounts had not the least effect on prices with us,
and consequently we are obliged to continue our
former quotations Inferior 9@99; ordinary 81
69s; niddling 93@10; good middling l04@-
l03 fair 10F@ll4c.
Bacon-The bacon market has been quiet but
steady during the whole of the past week, and we
therefore continue to quote 111@12 for hog
round; sides 113@12; shoulders l0@102; and
hams l2@12lc., according to quality. <a@o
Corn.-We have no materialchange to notice in
the price of corn, and we stiIl quote 75@s0c y
bushel -. ~
Oats.-There is no change in the price Of oats,
and we continue to quote 45@50c u bushel.
Peas.-The stock Of peas on sale is large, and
the demand is rather slack, we still continue to
quote 60@G2!c y bushel. p. ~ ,t.sSsE
Hour.-The stock of -four has somewhat in
creased since our last report in prices, however,
there is no change, and consequently We continue
to quote $79@S8 q barrel.

in the price of this article and therefore continue
to quote for good new fodder $1@$lf prime old

BARKULOO a. WADDELL.

We publish in our advertising columns the Card
of Messrs. BARKrLoo & WADDELL, Stock and Ex-
change Brokers and cotton Factors, Columbia
In their factorage business, these gentlemen con-
fine themselves exclusively to cotton-and as they
promise neither to buy nor sell on their own &c
count, and are in every respect attentive, prompt
and reliable business men, our farmers will find
their establishment quite desideratum.
Columbia is beginning again to occupy position
as "cotton-town." Many of the buyers Of the
mp country have found it to their advantage to
dispose of their cotton there, instead of shipping
it to Charleston and New York; and VIC have no
doubt our large planters would profit by their ex.
perence. If they conclude to make trial, We
can confidently recommend to them the house Of
BARKrLoo & W,DpELL. They refer, in YorH"ile,
to JOHN s. MooRE, Esq, and Dr.. J. NJ. Lowry.

THE SOURCE OF CRIME.

"Intcmperance is fruitful source of crime"
Such were the exorlial words of little Speech
which, we can just remember it, was put into our
juvenile mouth, in days of lang sYne, when once n
week We were wont to mount the rostrum and de-
monstrate the earliest trophies Of our crusade af
ter Eloquence. Like all early lessons, it left an
impression-that pregnant sentence; and the ex-
perience of years has but served to enstamp the
imprint the more indellibly.
During our Summers; s;journey, we tarricd sew
eral days in Richmond, and all the while were
much entertained in viewing the many objects of
interest which are to he seen in that noble baro-
nial-looking, capital of the sold Dominion" In
taking the round, we of course made visit to the
Virginia Penitentiary. 1t was our first entrance
into garner of crime, and may it be the last |!
Men, women and children, bond and free-deject-
ed, sad, sullen, silent, solitary, and alone even
though passing to and fro in the midst OF gu ever
moving, ever-busy crowd-smelting, forging, ham
mering, weaving, securing, spinning, overwhelmed
in an almost deafening whirl and noise, of which
human voice and human smile had no part
bearing upon every feature the seething, wither-
ing blasting brand of crime and the terrible rava-
ges Of crime-a congregation of the meanest and
worst of all mankind, were there wearing away
and burning out the bright and glowing spirit of
life which God had given them! For hours after
we had made the tour through the thick, murky
air of those hot and suffocating furnace-shops,
and, shuddered at the gaze of that abandoned,
daredevil sin-hardened crew, such was the vivid
impression made upon us, we fancied that every
man we met upon the street was william and an
enemy. So does even the sight Of crime "make
towards Of US ALL" But let us come 20 the point:
The superintendent, in reply to our questions,
told US that, but short time before he had made
an inventory of his crime -chattels, asking each
inmate what had brought them there and, ,ciih
only one exception in several hundred instances, oU
answsred-"STRoNG DRINK ~ What q fearful
! commentary on the liquor traffic. and, its conse-
auence, liquor drinking Verify it is tie ''fruitful
source of crime ......:
Again, let US come to the point-that one ex-
ceptiou. 1t was the instance of comparatively
decent, gentlemanly- y-looking, intelligent man, Of
middle age, who acknowledged that his first false
step, his beginning in career of crime, was re-
fusiag to pay for his county newspaper This
struck us at once as clue to the future: The
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1856-09-18
FROM EUROPE.

Since our last issue, two Iteamers. the Cambria
and the ArGJia, have arrived from Liverpool,
bringing dates to the 4th instant. Both arrivals
quote an advance in cotton, with an active and
firm market.
The political news is unimportant. The Lon
don Star says that communications of an unfricnd,
ly character had passed between France and Eng
land relative to Spanish affairs. The Star vir-
tually admits that England will make every con-
cession in order to secure the friendship Of Amer
lea in the event of rupture with France. Affairs
in Spain are still in an unsettled and uncertain
condition. The difficulty with Mexico has been
amicably adjusted.

THE "DRY BONES"

Municipal elections were held in Abbeville, An
derson, Greenvillc, and Spartanburg, last week,
in all of which the "dry ticket" came out trium-
phant Good! If we mistake not the signs of the
times, you may put old York down in that catcgo-
ry, hereafter. The ''dry bones are beginning to
shake and the word has gone forth-ciear the way
for Jehosaphat! The spartanburg Spartan says
that, beautifully significant of the principles of
tine candidates, the managers used cofee-pot
for n ballot,box, in their election! Oar Town
Council will ''take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly"

SERVED THEM RIGHT

The Chsrup Gazette, of last week, has the pro-
ceedings of public meating held in that village
recently, for the purpose of drawing up passports
for brace Of Yankee window-shadc pedlars,
who, besides pcrambulating Chesterfield with their
window. shades, were operating on the shady-side
in colrnrteuring Abolition talk and incendiary
tracts. They were taken, ri ct arm's, to Whining
ton, and their passage paid hack to the manufac-
tory, in the land of nutmegs. Served them right
There are doubtless one or two other dead-head
gentry of that ilk, who are worthy of "free
ticket" Pass them on.

THE ELECTIONS.

The voting public will bear in mind that at the
approaching elections, the country-boxcs will he
open on one day only-Monday; and that on Tues
day the town,hox will be open to receive the votes
for Senator, Representatives and member to Con-
gress, only. In other words, all who wish to cast
their votes for Ordinary and Tax. Collector, either
in town or country, mnst do so on Monday.
Mr. BoYcE has no: yet been formally announced
for Congress; but we presume that it is his de-
sign to be candidate. He will have no opposi.

gression and barbarityss We had just arrived,
mud feeling all the sympathy for our murdered
and injured friends, which animstes the. Sonth
ern heart, and feeling all the hatred for abolition
ism which education and justice impiantsin the
Southern bosom, we stood ready and willing to
play our part in the contest with our outIawed
enemy. For this We were not driven ont Of Kan
sas, for we acted with the whole pro-slayery par
ty. Neither were we censured, except by those
from whom censure Of honest men is praise. At
one time We were camped about two miles from
the U. S. troops, and were visited by Capt DeS-
sausure, native of Carolina, whotrcated us with
great cvilty, and told US that Major Buford and
company, aud some company from Missouri, were
ordered from the Territory, on account Of their
hostile attitude; but he remarked that swe were
Law and Order men, and that the company should
not be interrupted. So much for this charge
We do not believe that any true son OF the South
will cast censure upon US for holding ourselves in
readiness to repel abolition aggression, and recent
abolition ontrages upon pro-slavery men and
property; nor do we suppose that MINOR Perry
had any other motive in slnndering tho character
of honest men, than to recommend himself to the
good graces of Northern abolitionisn,. No doubt
he INDUCES in the delusion that either Fillmore
or Fremont will be elected to the Presidency, and
that he will be rewarded for his treason. to the
South, Dy receiving some appointments unuer Inc
general Government. He knows full well that
Carolina will never endorse his conduct, and such
is his thirst for office aud his desire 10 travel to
Washington, that lie is willing to betray, the par-
ent that reared him, to bow before the shfine,of
abolitonism, for the paltry consideration Of Office
Every Carolinian should scorn the traitor and
despise his treason. But it Is unnecessary.to pay
further attention to this matter. Before the 25th
day of December, Major Perry will likely be cal.
led to account and required to atone for his un-
provoked SANDER aud abuse SO let the gentleman
and all others who sympathize with him, be FORE
warned of the wrath that is to come. 4.,8

GEN. CARY.

The friends of the Temperance reform-a nd
thanks to the determined and well-directed efforts
of our moral community, their name with US is
''legion"-will regret to learn that Gen. CARY, the
great Reformer, connot ut present accept the invi
tation of the State Temperance Society to canvass
our State. In reply to a fattering and urgent
letter from Messrs. PRESLEY, MARTIN and SUM.
MER, he has written the following, which we take
from the Newberry Rising SUM-
COLLEGE HILL, Aug. p.
GENTLEMEN THE wishes of the late State
Temperance Convention Of South Carolina con-
yeyed to me in your iattering letter OF the lltt
inst, have been considered. The repeated acts
of kindness and generosity Of the people of South
Carolina towards ME grateful to my feelings bey
ond the power of language to express. 10 have
the confidence and respect Of the great and good
of your noble State would fatter the proudest
ambition, and to crafty their wishes would justi
fy any sacrifice.
As I nm at present situated l cannot give any
assurance that will be able to visit South Caro-
lima again this year. THERE'S no field in which
would labor with greater pleasure, and none
promises so large results to the good cause. Every
interest of the people of that State, especially
ouires q prohibitory law, and your courts are SC
constituted that the Judges are not required to
become reckless partisan demagogues in order to
secure q reelection.
| A prohibitory law so constructed as to secure
the rights of all would be fixed fact in South
Carolina if once enacted. In justice to the great
body of the citizens of your State. must say thai
nowhere in this republic have my sentiments mel
with more respectful attention. When 1 went
there but little had been said on the peculiar
topics discussed, and erroneous and false notions
were entertained in reference to the real nature
and objects of the laws desired. A calm, honest
dispassionate, gentlemsnly and intelligent presen
