SOUTHERN CONVENTION.

The reader will find elsewhere call upon the peo-
pie of tho SlaveLoldng States to join in the annual
Southern Convention to be hold ut Knoxville Tenn.
in August next, commencing on Monday tho 10Th Of
that month. The subjoined paragraph from the New
berry Mirror expresses what would say in regard
to theso meetings:
There can be no doubt, but that if properly con-
ducted great good will spring from these conren-
tions; if no other it will bring into communion as
public representatives of their respective States in
dydunls of position and responsibility, between
whom by nm Interchange Of sentiments the position
and strength of our country can bc most nearly de-
termned. Our Western friends will in this wny learn
whom at no distant day, they will in some measure
greater than that Of the Greeks has peculiar forma-
ton which will not permit Olympic games: but that
which was effected by these games in Greece, draw
ing closer the bonds Of union and love will be &c
complishod by this interchange of widely separated
opinion and consultation for tho common good.
In the matter of civilizations" we do not know
that we go the length of saying that our chrian
age is greater in this point of Wow than the days
of Grccian splendor. The comparison though which
ncghbOr suggests in his nllusion to tho Olympic
Conren'ions of that gttering era, is apposite and
striking. Would that the spirit, and zeal, and cner
gy of the old Creek in his race of tho chariot could
find their anttype in tho determination of Southern
men not to bc outsrppcd in the race of modern pro-

THE SEASON.

1t seems to be admitted-not even contested by
the Coolest inhabitant'-that the present Summer is
the most bland and balmy Of its name. Some say
that the mean temperature Of June scarcely exceeded
100 Fahrenheit, and July has been very little warmer
than June The nights have been pleasantly cool
with perhaps one exception; neither have the days
been at all oppressive. 1t is not u cotton Summer
however, and therefore not Legitimate Southern
summer. There is something spurious in the cmpera-

HON. JAMES L. ORR.

The Grcenville Patriot, speaking of Col. onn's
qualifications for tho position Of United States Scna
tor, pays that gentleman the high compliment Of say
ing, that he would have influence in the Sen
ate Of the United States than any man who can be
sent from South Carolina" The Patriot adds:
This is strong language, but it is true as it is
pointed and decided We know, from what we
and heard in Washington in 1855, that no represcn-
tativc from this State had anything like the influence
Col. Orr commanded in Congress. "a distinguished
gentleman, formerly IL member Of Congress rom
South Carolina, went so far as to say tat Col Orr,
ut this time, has more influence in the Iuu;c of Rep
rescntatives than any member ever did have from
South Carolina since the organization Of the Govern
meut Col Orr has shown talent, and ability since
his election to Congress which the State may we'll be
proud Of and should be most willing to reward With
her highest honors.
The Patriot seems to regard it improbable that
COL Orr will desire the change of Houses at present.

COMPLIMENT TO CHAN. DARGAN.

At the close of the last Term in Equity for Green
ville the bur of that District took highly compliment
tary action in reference to the presiding officer, Chan
DARGAN. Resolutions wore adopted forcibly setting
forth the eminent ability displayed by that distin-
guished official during week of labor One of these
resolutions VIC append. us expressing precisely the
opinion which we think our own bar entertained at
tho end Of our late Term:
"Resolred, That wc have never before, in any
Chancellor Judge seen displayed more ability in
divcsting the questions involved of all cxtraneous
matter, and in presenting and deciding the true points

We think this resolution exactly hits off Chancellor
DARGASs forte. Anxto bc eminent in this capacity,
is certainly one of tho greatest qualifications for the
peculiar duties of the Chancery Bench.

EPPERSON SPRINGS, TENNESSEE
CROPS, AND so FORTH,

Talking of watering places, see what q friend,
writing from EppersOu Springs in Tennessee, says:
"My wife and are here drinking the finest water
in the world. These springs are about so miles north
castof Nashville on the top of the mountains The cold
has prevented many persons from visiting this
place thus far, but if the weather should be warm
think there will be n crowd hero yet Cabeatc,

doubtless, if not final scoptical at first
but am deeply convicted now."
So here's another delightful Southern watering
place yet to be appreciated We confess to hav
ing heard of the Eppcrson Springs before but do not
entertain doubt in regard to what esteemed
respondent says of their virtues. 1t only shows what

Mr.. EDIToR:-As the bud-worm is an insect
that does much injury to many farms in Cur own

the farmers generally, ask place in Your highly
respectable and much circulated paper, to stae in
short few facts relative to that destructive in

From an intimation made by my ovcrscer was
led 10 the examination of what is called Rag or
Carrot weed when found from bottom to top OF
the weed promiscuously arranged, cavities in the
weed, in which were deposited eggs and young
worms-the worm in full shape being near the root,
(being deposited earlier Of course) and the eggs
toward the top. Those eggs suppose were de-
posted by a kind of fly.
forward this at an early period, in order that
the farmers may avail themselves OF the opportu-
nifty of destroying all those weeds forthwith, and
thereby save much labor and some corn, at least,
the next year. Respectfully Submitted,

COM NJ UNICATION
For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR The very accurate account in
most respects Of the Hamburg meeting by ONE OF
The COMMITTEE" might yetmislead the public as
to my views in a single particular. The reader on
coming to this sentence as recorded and unquali-
fed" "The repeal of the Missouri Compromise
has lost us every thing" would naturally infer that
was opposed to that enactment. The contrary is
the fact. approve of the principle of that Leg
islation and believe that each and every restrc-
tion 10 the extension of slavery, should have been
long ago removed. They were all against the
spirit of the constitution and insulting as wefl as
oppressive to the South. Your reporter or cores
pondent did not exactly understand me, or did not
extend his report quite far enough. meant to
convey the impression that the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise line and other kindred meas
ures, reluctantly conceded to us by Northern men
through policy and mere political expediency,
might have bad effect upon the South, in aliay-
ing her suspicious, and in lulling her people into
false security, and that, thus a series Of crafty
enactments which appeared to be our gain, might
result in our eternal loss. This feared would
arise in part from the souths being diverted from
her true danger by political machinery, by her for
getting the natural and local conflicts and the diff
ference of interests and opinions, which must ever
exist between the two sections of the Union; and
by her becoming heedlessly and irrevocably COM
mitted pledged and fettered by party alliances and
entanglements, which can never advance either
her prosperity honor or glory.
"Timeo Danaos ct dona terentes." *
Northern Statesmen consider slavery doomed
from the preponderance of Free Soil emisrants to
the new Territories, and they can well afford to he
generous They have no longer any hesitation about
patting fine high-blooded Southern gentlemen on
the shoulders, to secure their favor and support'n
the promotion of their own ambitious schemes /
well remember the substance of the reason given by
Mr. Webster in his groat-hs so eoneiliatory speech
on the admission of California To satisfy the abo-
itionsts for not insisting upon condition for forey-
er excluding slavery he uttered language like this
to give force to his conviction that it had already
been excluded by the bchests Of the emost High. 1
would not (said he) affirm a law of nature or re-
enact the decree of God"
The liberties of Southern men are in moro peril
to day, than they were twenty-five years ago, te-
cause we arc better satisfied with our condition
our sentines are asleep upon their posts, and our
citizens and advisers, from too much confidence,
are brought more into contact with the pestllent
power which is winding its fatal coils around them,
most surely to destroy.
