CoMPLMESrARy.-We take from the Marion

ence to the Hon. T. W. PIcKEns. 1t will not be
long before the Independent Press OF the State
will speak out and announce the choice OF their
several districts. We have no hesitancy IN saying
that the voice of Richland is decidedly in favor
of, Col. PlckENs, for we have made it our busi'
ness to enuuire.-Columbia Times.
"The papers of the State gencrallyarc discus
sing the claims and qualifications of the different
distinguished sons of Carolina whose names have
been brought forward as the successor OF Sena'
ator Butler. Among the number we are harPy
to see that of Hon. F. ". Pickens, Of Edgeteld.
The Advertiser announces as a certainty, that
his friends will place his name before the people
of the State for the post of United States Sena-
tor. Mr.. Pickens is peculiarly fitted to till the
place with honor and credit alike to himself and
his State. He has served faithfully in the halls
of Congress on former occasion, and in addl-
ton to his experienced talent and ability as a
politician land in these qualities he is inferior
to none in the State,) he has the confidence Of
his fellow citizens as pure, moral and upright
man; and we think the Legislature owes it to
the people to select man whose moral character,
as we'll as his intellectual abilities, shall reflect
credit upon the State No one can doubt that
the next Presidential election will be the tercest
struggle between the North and South that has
ever taken place, and in that contest we will
need lust such man in the Senate as Mr. Pick,

RESPONSE TO EARLY RISING" BY PUTNAM.

BY S. A. l..
Nov ont upon the wight that dozcs on,
When the grey east her opal gates unbars;
When the glad prelude natures harp has strung,
Goes up to Heav'n amidst the raling stars- =
When earth with univerSalvoice pours forth
PGans of glory to the day-god's birth.
When in the early morn, ere yet the din
Of busy life cnthrals the weary heart,
OH what 4 sense of happiness within
Docs each attendant of the dawn impart
4 new baptism brings to life each flower,
And gives each painting breast, or tagging arm,
new power.
Hark! to the winding of the distant horn
Whose softened echoes o'cr the hilltopS play
List to the cadence in the rosy morn,
OF trilling brooklets in their roundelay
Each dewy zephyr from the wak'ning grove
Bears on its pinions many boon OF love
And then tho herdsman with his loud yo, no!
The rustic tune the ploushman loves to sins'
The mist amid the hills, the mystic glow
Of light and shade abroad with arrowy wing,
Touching the landscape with its pencilled rays,
Charging the bosom with our Masters praise.
IIo laggard, rouse thee from thy sickly dreams,
All nature calls thee with its loud refrain;
Spring from thy bed, Ills not the friend it sesqs,
Nor seek its influence in the morn again.
Oh! wherefore let thy morbid instincts rule?
Forth to thy duty, seek some lofticr goal!
Thy wit too, laggard, sure its point must lose,
When at the little lark its force is thrown;
A lesson it will teach thee, shouldst thou choose
If thou hast not all holier joys outgrown;
Twould whisper to thee if thou fain would'st
hear
That praise to God the morn's first beam
should bear.
Oh, thou false reasoncr, leave thy couch of down,
And breathe the air of heaven fresh and pure !;
Thou would'st nhale it with zest unknown,
Nor o'cr thy y-drcams drop one lingering tear !;
Throw thy false theories to the bat and owl,
Come be man-dont ape the mcancst fowl.
If thou canst boast no better deeds than come
Of dreams and dozcs, thoud'st do well to find
A refuge in some cave, fitting home
For snails and dormicc, and such lazy kind.
Mcthinks no Angel bright would plume its
wing,
To be the guardian guest Of such thing.
wish thee better Of thy fancicd joy
All burst thy fettcrs cen as Sampson did;
Rise with the lark if thou wouldst life employ
As best thou should, nor let thy light lie hid
Beneath thy ennervatng counterpane,-
Come rouse thee up and be man again.
Sleep is blessed thing, gift from Heaven,
And guardian spirits DER the guileless bend;
But for the night this priceless boon is given,
When, mid the hush of nature, calmly blend
Our fcvered thoughts, our busy carking cares
With dreams Of Hope beyond the coming
years.

THE NEWS AND THE ADVERTISER.

The Ncirs cXccpts to oar article Of last week, and
rronuunccs it stiff in manner, personal in ausion
AMI aLounling i'll mistakes
The personal allu$iUn was to the editor Of the
.Ners in his former political capacity Of Know
Nothing, and casually (and we think legitimate
ly) introduced as set of to his previous thrusts at
those in South Carolina who had participated in the
Democratic Convention.
As to "sifrncss in manncr," We were not aware
that this Was our fault in composition; nor can We,
upon rcpcrusal of our article, detect any such pc
culiarity. The criticism is dictum.
But the Advertisers piece is said to "abound in
mistakes !" And to this charge we leave our state
mcn upon its merits, willing that those who shall
read both of us shall decide the correctness Of
our respective assertions.
We touch upon other points of the Ncrs in another
place, and only add here that we regret TO observe
something like an air Of impaticncc in the tone of
the article to which VIC have allusion above We
eschcw the present discussion between the Adreriser
and Charleston cUtemporares, if it is to lead to
angry divisions at home Our object has been, and
will be STILL to express convictions frankly but in
all Kindness towards those who differ with us.

NIP NEXT SENATOR.

Mr.. EpIToR: The time to fill the vacancy, oc-
casioned in the United States Senate by the re-
cent death of our venerable Senator, the Hon.
a. p. Butler, approaches. The high place,
which South Carolina has heretofore occupied Ill
that Branch Of the Federal Council, should be
duly considered in the choice, which it will soon
be the duty of the Legislature to make. Her
past presenting as. it does, one unbroken CONT
nuity of lustre and greatness, demands that the
future be its faithful mirror. The enviab!e posi-
ton, she has sustained for the last half century
in the American Confederacy, should urge the
Legislature to look well before it steps 1t IS
to the superior genius, the rare intellectual en-
lowmcnts, and the manly and unilinching patrl-
otism "unmiyed with baser matter" of hergreat
dead that she is chiefly indebted for the COM
mandinr eminencc she row stands upon. All
that is dear 10 her has hitherto been coniided to
the custody of men, whose talents have received
ready and willing homage from the great and
GOOD everywhere To such men, she should con-
tinue to coniide it.
Among the names that have appeared IN the
public prints with view to filing the high and
responsible post, we beg to re-echo the name OF
Ex.Gov james II. Hammond, who has lew
equals. if any, not only in this State, but III the
United States. and who will wear honorablv, and
guard gallantly South Cardinals well.won rcpu;,

THE WEATHER AND CEors.-We have during
the past week been visited by refreshing show
ers, but not in sufficient quantities to satisfy the
desires of the farmers. The rains here have
been quite partial and in some sections are suf.
ferng from the dry weather. The corn crop
generally is hourshing and promise an abun-
dant harvest; the cotton is healthy but very
backward. Some idea may be formed of the
extent of the wheat crop from the fact that up
wards of 10000 bushels have been sent by rail
road from Abbeville c. e., to the city markets.

TIE EUaToNs IN EDGEF1ELD.

We are called upon, as in duty bound, to indite 4
criticism upon tho performances i'll this place, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of last week,
by the BunroS CLUE of Augusta. In doing 50, we
shall Lc very brief.
In the general We may remark that the company S
representations went of with dying cOlors. OF course
there were defects but of those care not here to
speak.
Among the male members Of the corps, old Ton
KENnLE stood pre-emincnt by a full head and shoul-
ders. His Toodcs, his Fathom and his Amindab
Sleek were capitals in fact he was successful in all
his parts. DR.. TuTr also commanded the admiration
Of many by his case of action and richness OF voice.
But not 10 make comparisons, we will simply say
that, but for some very lad ncinorizins, the male
portion Of the company might be said to have done
remarkably well for amateurs.
The ladies were even more successful than their

with perseverance and study, she would take no COM
mon position upon the boards. Her singing also is
very sweet although cold prevented the pro-

too, were much admired by portion Of her EdgcGcld
aulienccs-AIrs. ALLEN is one Of the best old women

ton of that class Of characters, for in reality she
was regarded rs girl (and very pretty too) by
those who did not know that she was wife.-Alss
LEWIS seemed to be less familiar with the boards than
her siscrlsSociatcs; yet, except some hastncss Of
dctiun, her parts were not badly sustained. All i'm
pcrectons were atoned for by the taking rchness Of
her bright eyes and dimplcd smiles.
And, lastly, Mr.. W.EcASD and his band were ly no
means the least part of the exhibitions Their pieces
were beautifully arranged, and, in the main, well
executed. Mr.. W. is himself an accomplished ANA
tcur musician and readily impars his taste to those
who place themselves under his instruction and if
the young men Of Edgcleld wish to get up good
band (und why shouldn't thcy) We recommend them
to employ Mr., WIEGAHn.
If our account Of the BunToSs is short, we trust it
does mt lack much Of being sweet.
