COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE,
{FG)R MORNING. hAOISSa

u Vl1 OCtlG G1fA9a9Io
ESTABLISHED under it's present direction in
~ 1851, and has continued uniformly prospe
rous.
Its peculiar characteristics are
/. Whatever it proposes to do, it does, and does
thoroughly.
2. Its advantages, reputation and patronage are
designed to be of strictly local character, and
appeals are made to the citizens Of other parts of
the State for their patronage.
8. It affords to the people Of Edge6ed, what few
in other Districts propose, viz: model School for
tho education of their daughters under a strictly
home influence, and secures to them, at their own
doors, advantages which they cannot find surpassed
elsewhere.
4. 1t is, without controversy, the best furnished
Academy in the State for educational purposes.
S. Its income, no matter how great it may be, is
all disbursed at home so that its patrons are dou
bly, benefited by its prosperity.
7. And lastly, it relies simply upon its merits
for reputation and support, and doing its works
under the most favorable circumstances, challenges
constant scrutiny and investigation.
The Winter Session for 1856 commenced on
Monday, the 18th January.

Prolific Cotton Seed

We clip the following letter from the
Laurensville Herald, Which may prove in
teresting to those farmers who wish to
increase and improve the great Southern
staple:
"Mr. Stokes: Last spring Capt. 7. Byrd,
of AbbeviIle District, sold me two bushels
of his "Prolific Cotton Secd," which I
planted and cultivated, and have just fin
ished ginning and packing. For the bene6.
Of all who desire to plant that kind of seed
the present year, l will give you the result
Of the experiment I made with it. The
two bushels planted was dropped on three
acres Of land, and cultivated to the bess of
my ability, with hoes. sweeps, DC. It made
five bales. weighing in all 2,o6o pounds,
clean lint, weighed a few days after It was
ginned and baied, by my steelys,ds, which
generally lose in market about two pounds
in every hundred. -

my crop Of cotton, in length of staple and
fineness of lint. T. DUCKET.

Is it True 2

"We have learned" says the Columbia
Cdrol'"ian of the 2S,h inst, "wi,h great
satisfaction that corps of three hundred
men has been organized in Abhcville Dis
trict, for the purpose of proceeding 70 Kan
sas, under the direction of Mr.. B. poscv,
late of the Independent Prcss.'
We have not heard the slightest intima.
ton of such an expedition. We think it a
grand hoax, and only regret that it is not
true. We have tried to set on foot n Kan
sas stampede under the direction Of WAR
rem 7. BELclrER, who is recruiting for Mai.
BuFoRD's Company, but regret to state that
the project has not met with success com
mcnsuratc with its Importance The num-
bcr who have registered their names on his
list is about Is, all told. Mr.. BELcuEn
had appointed Wednesday the 3O,h as the
time Of starting, and his company met at
this place on Tuesday evening, with the
view Of leaving next day; but on the day
of rendezvous the intelligence was received
by Maj. BrFonp's letter, published in the
Carolin'nn, stating that in consequence of
the Missouri and Kansas Rivers being
blocked with ice, he had, for this anil other
reasons. postponed the time of starting un
til the 3lst of March next.
We shall publish Maj. BuFonD's letter
in our next issue.

Congressional.

The following are the resolutions offered
by Mr.. FAuLKNER, as Il remedy for the un-
fortunate condition Of things existing in
Congress. His proposition is that the
House should disband.-The resolution was
lost by vote of Ill to s5. Even If il
had been sustained, tie plan would be i'm
practicable, since nothing but expulsion or
resignation would vacate the seat OF any
member; and We eouId not reasonably ex-
pcct that all would resign and take the
chances Of re-election-and we would thus
have resignation Of one half, while the
other half would hold on to their seats like
grim death:
"Resol0ea, That each member of this
House will, on Monday next, if Speaker
shall not before that day be elected, prepare
and deposit with the Clerk sealed paper,
endorsed with his name and containing the
resignation of his seat MS member of the
Thirty-Fourth Congress which sealed let
ter of resignation, when delivered by every
member Of this House, or by such number
rs will in good faith carry into effect the
object of this resolution, shall, by order of
the House, be opened by the Clerk, and
publicly read from his table, and shall
from that time operate to vacate his seat as
member of this House; and it shall be
the duty of the Clerk forthwith to transmit
to the Governors Of the several States the
letters of resignation Of the members now
representing said States.
"Resolvel, That when the House ad-
journs on Monday next, it will, with the
consent of the Senate,) if Speaker shall
not before that day be elected, adjourn 10
meet on the first Monday in May next.

What We Nav Expect.

We have long since regarded the birth
of Know -NothingiSm as but diabolical
scheme of crafty politicians, by which they
hoped TO overthrow the present Democratic
Administration, and establish themselves
upon its ruins. And notwithstanding the
vote given 10y that party for Speaker, would
indicate division i'll its ranks, there will be !,
powerful effort made to reconcile differences.
to harm"n'zc the refractory elements of the
party, with the view of riding into power
ill the next Presidential contest : and we
may yet expect to witness the Southern
wing moving hand in hand with their
Northern brethren in the contest.
The reader may think it an absurlity to
suppose that men of til" South could ever
consent to act i'll concert with those of the
North, who have affiliated with Frcesoiism
in the contest for Speaker; but the poli.i-
cal future will reveal-though With shame
We would realize it-that the hone of power
is more enticing than the pro,nptings of
duty-that the ties OF party are stronger
than the teachings Of patriotism.
We may expect the party to have can
dldatc in the field, and if the nominee is
not an extreme ultra Aboltionist, we may
expect the Southern wing to chime in, and
leave no stone unturned to defeat the Dem
ocratlc nominee. Recent demonstrations
IN the House of Representatives, would in
d'cate that Southern Know-Nothings are
determined to maintain their organization,
and will not affiliate with the Democrats.
though Southern man should be the
Democratic nominee.

The Spealtersl,ip.

MIR. RICHARDSON, the Democratic can
didatc for Speaker, has withdrawn. Hon.
j. l.. ORR has been nominated in his stead.
The prospects of organizing the House and
proceeding to dispatch the business of the
country, since Mr.. Onw's nomination. arc
no more favorable than they were before.
The South has it now in her power to
elect Southern imam Speaker, and to or
ganizc the House upon conservative ba-
sis. If the SO Southern members who have
been supporting FULLER, would support Mr..
OHR, it would give him majority. And
why will they not do this? Is it because
they believe him untrue to Southern inter-
est? Is it because his elevation to the
Chair would jeopardizc the Constitution of
the country? Is it because they believe
him wanting in administrative capacity or
is it because of patriotic conviction that
they arc serving their country more cfli-
ciently by Withholding from him their vote.
and casting it for Northern man whose
election they know to be an impossibility.
and thus standing forth as the living mon
uments Of the disorgansm and disgraccful
farce that is being continued from day to
day in the House of Representatives ? Can
they, with the slightest pretence Of reason,
claim that the interest of the South would
be more safely committed to Il Northern, in
preference to Southern man, whose every
interest is identified with our section g.
Can they claim to have been prompted bv
the conscientious convictions of tluty9 to
have been led on in the course they have
taken, by the spirit of pa,rotism9 No;
we fear, and blush to record it, that none of
these considerations have had a feathers
weight in determining their course.
We must look to motives foreign to those
OF patriotism, if we would comprehend the
reasons which have forced upon them their
present position. We must look to the
cherished hopes of party success-to an
overwrought zeal in promulyating the Pc
cul'ar tchcts OF their party, regardless of the
evil consequences they entail upon the coun-
try. We must look TO the aIurcmcnts of
political asccndancy, to divine the motive
power which impels them to stand out as
invetcrate opponents TO the organization of
the House. Are they not admonished by
the ties of interest, Ivy the promptings of
patriotism, to burst loose the sllackcs of
party, and unite with their Southern brcth.
rem upon common platform, and move in
a solid pialanx against the enemies Of the
South
This is conSum,nation most devoutly
t" be wished for. The unity of political
sentiment at the South is the only g''aran-
tee OF our constitutional ri.l,ts-ll,c only
safety valve Of the Union.
