KANSAS.

Our readers, no doubt, feel solcitous about the
fate of Kansas, and look an1iousy for every item
concerning that territory. The latest feature Of
Importance, is the difficulty between Gov. WALK
Err and the citizens of Lawrence in relation to the
election of municipal officers. The municipal
government, it seems, was organized in defiance
of the Territorial Legislature. Gov. WALKER has
declared his intention Of deposing the illegally
chosen functionaries and enforcing the laws. In
regard to this determination Of Gov. WALKER, the
Augusta Constitutionalist remarks:-
sThere are two Oh three reflections which will
suggest themselves to the mind Of every man in
reading the recent intelligence from Kansas
+. That Walkers mission is, like that of all the
executives Of the Territory who have preceded
him, failure, if, rs he has repeatedly asserted,
his object in going to Kansas was to secure g
peaceful solution of the question: Of slavery in that
Territory. Notification -rebellion-treason-suc
are the fuits, thus far, of the policy he has pur
sued-such the returns which the Black Republi
cans have made him for his concessions and pro-
misses to them.
9. That the action Of the people of,Lawrence
was not the Inauguration of the rebellion against
the recognized authorities of Kansas; in which the
Black Republicans are engaged that rebellion
had been not only inaugurated, but. organized
when he entered the Territory and that it is rath
er strange he should permit the revolutionists tc
organize State government, and make his de-
moustration against small. portion of them fol-
organizing municipal government for a town.
8. That Gov. Walker has called out military
force against aportion of the Inhabitants Of Kan,
sas, for multiplying its laws and resisting its au
therities, with whom he is pledged to act, in re,
sisting the same authorities,if the Constitutions
Convention does not obey his dictation and sub
NIT its action to the people for ratification =,
4. That the Black Republicans are determined
that Kansas shall never be admitted into the Un
ion as free State under the auspices Of Demo
cratic Governor, if they con, by any means, pre-
vent that result.

COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENTS.

COLUMBIA, July 26.
Not knowing that 1 should be able to- reach
home in time to give you my regular weekly eps,
tie, have thought proper to give you few items
from the Capital. left Yorkville, with my fair
charge of precious humanity, at eight o'clock yes
terday morning and reached Chester in safety,
and without anything occurring worthy ofa place
in my note book. We remained at the depot long
enough to change our baggage and take birds
eye view of as much of the town as was visible to
the naked eye from that point. Some Of our COM
panions that came down with US on the Kings
| Mountain road, left in the omnibus for the town
| upon the hill, to which "distance lends enchant-
| ment to the view" and the balance transferred
themselves and their baggage to the Charlotte
train, and we were off at the sound of the whis-
tie.
1t soon commenced raining and continued at
intervals till we reached this place, and in the af
ternoon it increased to dashing, heavy rain
which came down in torrents till night. How long
it continued after supper this depouent cannot say
as he retired OF very questionable hour to the
land of dreams, and sought to forget bis weari-
ness in the oblivious embraces of "tired natures
sweet restorer balmy sleep" The pleasing scenes
of the lastfew days were reproduced in my dreams,
and many of those who are still dear to memory
stood smiling before me- The social principle
predominates in the bosoms of all, and is acknowl
edged to be one of the most powerful instincts Of
our nature.
The changing scenes of life and the contingen-
ces of travel often bring US into the presence and
companionship of those whom we instinctively re-
cognise as congenial spirits, and in whose society
we could be happy. have often thought Of the
many thousands of kind hearts that would beat
responsive to our own, whose owners We can never
know, and whose softenng and care dispelling in
fuence we can never experience. This muddy,
mundane planet of ours has been much sandered
by persons who could not appreciate its charms
and attractions. l. for onc believe that the world
and the people in it are better than they are usu-
ally represented. As far as am personally con-
cerned have no reason to quarrel with my lot,
on the contrary, believe that have been better
treated than deserved, and the wear and tear Of
time have laid their rough hands but lightly upon
me.
Myself and friends are stopping at the Assem-
bly, House formerly Roaches) where we found
pleasant landlady, good quarters and hot sup
per, three indispensable requisites to the comfort
and happiness of way -faring man in wet wealth
er. There are quite number Of permanent
boarders here, all of whom Joined US in the paror
after ten, and we spent very pleasant evening,
interspersed with music, games and conversation.
This is, upon the whole, very agreeable house,
and we'll deserves the patronage of the public
The fare is excellent; the servants polite and at
tentive, and tho rooms neat, comfortable and airy

looks to be in better health than formerly. 1t was
raining very hard at the close Of the services and
we had to remain for some time waiting for it to

which was accepted, and we made the best Of our

plight in time for dinner.
visited your correspondent Mrs. STRATToN,
o.day and found her. as usual, full Of life and
humor. Her writings are extensively read and
admired, and as her name is now public property,
hope she will not object to this notice by one
who admires her amiable qualities as lady, not
less than her'superor talents as writer, both Of
prose anu poetry QUE HAS occdsloually CVuIip>
uted to some half dozen papers Of the State, and
she has perhaps been solicited to write for as
many more. Her stories are oil we'll written, the
characters generally sketched from real life, and
the distinguishing characteristic Of her poetry is
sweetness, sentiment and simplicity. Some Of her
more finished pieces remind me Of Mrs. WEIBY,
with whom poetry was second nature.
Columbia is not very lively now, being in the
midst of the summer solstice, when trade and
travel are both usually dull. But as the fsl! sea-
son approaches the "city of shade trees" will rise
and shake the dust from her garments, and make
dash, and gallant one too, for her share of the
spoil in commercial point Of view.
Isee the prospectus of paper is announced,
to be conducted by Messrs Bowman & JOHNSON
whose politics is to be Of the srctest sect of the
Southern Rights school. Those who have taken
hold Of it are men Of talents and experience, and
they will doubtless give their readers most e1-
cellent paper, but Tfear lac patronage Of Colum-
bia is not sufficient to sustain three daily papers.
They have my best wishes for their success,

Accompanied by the Bethel and Ebenezer Bands,
which throughout the day contributed excellent
music, the Procession moved down Main, Jefferson

the Episcopal Church, where temporary sla''"

lain after which Judge O'NEALL was introduced.
OF his address We need not say word. 1t was
characteristic throughout-for at least TWO hours
enlisting the undivided attention of vast con-
course with that always agreeably diversified way
of fact and anecdote and argument which has long
ago won for the great Apostle of Temperance m
endearing reputation. At the conclusion OF Judge
O'NEALL's address, although several distinguished
6ro tors were present, the Committee thought that
the otocsin of the soul--a dinner bell' would
sound just then more grateful to the ear man inc
finest strains of oratory "charm it never so wlse-
W." and accordingly the procession was again
forme and the multitude escorted to the College
Grove, where all partook of bountiful picnic OF
substantials and nic-nacs The assembly was too
large to have anything like post-prand"l speeches.
and after every one was fully equ pped internally
the Grand Division were conducted to their Hall,
by the Cadets and Subordinate Divisions. In the
afternoon the business Of the session engaged the
Grand Division until late hour, when it adjourned
to meet in Columbia in November next.
At early candleli light, number of onr citizens

short but interesting addresses by Messrs A.

ON THE DEATH OF HER MocKrNG-BIRp.
Where is the tuneful roundelay,'.
That thrilled the heart at earliest dawn,
And bade thee welcome in the day,
Upon the fowef-spangled lawnt- q.
All never more that warbling strain
From out the tiny cage will ring;
Gone, not like hopes that come again,
We mourn the lost, the lovely thing.
1t was sweety throated bird
And loved thy lily hands caress,
And Knocked each sweetly noted word
To vile away thy loneliness.
But weep not for your tiny pet,
Another sings in yonder grove,
Tho warbling wild, twill fondly yet,
Sing for thee its lays of love.
Regret not then the broken strain
Life was not made for sorrowing-
And 6x your hopes and love again,
But not upon so frail thing.
The love bestowed upon thy pet
Would sweetly soothe q human heart
Would hush in peace each sad regret
And bid each gathering cloud depart
Then why should not that heart be cheered-
Why not thy loves rich boon be given,
Since from thy ruby lips word
Could make of earth almost o heaven?

meant by the cry-s'rally under the banner OF the
democracy, it alone can save the Union and pre-
serve the constitutional rights of the South" IL
is not to save the South that this crys raised, but
to save the democratic party. No donht II Will
attempt to save the Un;on for on its preservaton'
the very existence of the party itself depends, hut
why should it preserve the rights of the South
Or Ehy, let us rather ask has it not heretofore
preserved those rights which have repeatedly heen
trampled upon? Here was field for the mani
festaton of its integrity, potency and answering
patriotism. The very moment the rights OF the
South are duly respected and Southern States are
treated ms co.equals, the Northern wing "t the
democratic party will begin to coalesce with the
Black Republicans and rabid aboitionists. II the
South is not to be plundered, what section OF the
Union is to be the victim? Surely not the North
and North West which are closely and inilssoiu i
bly, affiliated together, and will soon WELD two
thirds of the strength of the United States. The
North then is secure, and the South being the
weakest must necessarily be victimzed again.-
Let US then beware Of the Democratic party since
its existence depends on its gratifying the selfish
ness of the North and deceiving the South by spe-
cious promises.
Are we then asked for the true hope of the
South! 1t lies in herself, in her own strength
when properly disciplined in the dissolution OF all
national parties, which have hitherto conulved at,
or aided in violating her rights, in her presenting
m unbroken front to her 5sailants, in an open
fight between the North and South when we need
no longer fear covert blow. And when ever it
comes to this the South will be found equal to the
emergency. Let her once understand that her
reliance can alone be placed in Southern Party,
and all danger vanishes instantly. Divided we
fall. united, we hold the balance of power in the
Union. or protect ourselves out of it, Is not this
plain proposition? Docs it not at once give us
m efficiency which We have never known? Does
it not place US in an impregnable position, where
power cannot intimidate, and cunning cannot cir
cumvent us? Has the Democratic party anything
better to offer than this? Does the experience ot
the past bid US hope so much at its hands? Are
we longer, if wise, to aid in bolstering up ON or
ganization, WHICH has hitherto deserted us in the
times of our greatest need, and which only seek:
our favor now, when the palsy of age begins to
weaken it's strength and destroy its vigor?

PHYSICIAN SHoT-GREAr EXCITEMENT !-Golds-
borough ~ c., July pa desperate shooting
affair occurred here to-day. Dr.. John W. Davis,
one of our most highly esteemed citizens, was bru
tally shot down by the keeper Of low grocery
here, named Odeinhammer, and his father, both
of whom were shooting at him at the same time.
The Odeinhammers are Germans. The DR.. was
unarmed. He now lies in precarious condition,
and is not expected to survive.
The elder Odeinhammer received powerful
blow on the head during the excitement, from some
other party, which severely fractured his skull,
that it is thought that death will ensue.
The most intense excitement prevails, and
should DR.. Davis die, it is apprehended his slayer
will be most summarily dealt with.
The Odeinhammers were keepers of groceries
and had been charged with selling liquor to me-
groes, in violation Of law, and receiving stolen
goods. DR.. Davis had caned one of them for some
insolence and hence the assault.

(s25O OO0O) is ready and subjectto his draft tany

number of men he can conquer and keep posses

THE AFRICAN EMIGRATION QUESTION

The English and French are discussing the pro-
position of importing African colonsts into their
tropical possessions. They perceive that the on
ly way, in which the culture of cotton con be pro-
NOTED, so as to compete with the United States,
is by the introduction of the same species Of labor
The proposed plan, if carried out, will be practi-
cally revival of the slave-trade. The negro is q
slave in Africa and wherever he goes he must re-
main slave. 1t is his doom, rs emphatically
declared by the experience of the past in this coun-
try as we'll as in Africa. Every effort Of benevo-
lence, to raise them to the dignity of freemen has
been thwarted by the stupidity and cannibalism of
their nature. It is only in state of slavery that
they can exist at home, and'the only free negros
in the world, are our slaves for they have just as
much freedom as they can possibly endure. This
opinion seems to be gaining ground among the
rejecting men of the world.
