HAMBURG NOT A CORN FIELD YET.

Our Hamburg correspondent, noticing the fnet that
Mcssrs DELPHI Scorr bought Georgia lot Of cotton
tho other day at IL cents around, adds: "You will
perceive by this that Hamburg as ye) has not been
'concerted into corn field but is still in one sense
right lively little 'cOaon.patch'" Well done, old
Iumburg. Long may she survive! Once completely
stranded, and our side Of tho State will soon realize
the loss 1t has been often said, yet We hero say il
again, thnt Hamburg is and has ever been the best
cotton market in the, South.

ing an Albanian object to measure Of policy which
was suggested and advocated in South Carolina chiefly
If not entirely, for purposes Of closer afiation with
the other sayeholding States. In either case Col
Oar was but one amongst many ardent patriots who
conscientiously believed they were pursuing their
countrys true good Nor does it yet appear that the'1
convictions of duty were erroneous.
As to the suggestion of the "Marion Common
sealh" that Col Orr declines the candidacy at home
from fear of defeat we only any that it shows the
writer's profound ignorance of matters in South Caro-
lima. The conjecture though has quite as much ol
propriey in it as its very unnecessary and unfounded
alternate that Mr. ORR has "secured fat place under
the Federal Government"
But it is useless to say moro upon those iladvised
assumptions Our regret is that any paper in South
Carolina should have reproduced them.

The management of this valuable paper has again
undergone change, Messra. JoHy L. MILLER and Jo-
sEpH IT. BLACK having sold to Mr.. L. NJ. GRlST, who
is now sole proprietor. The Enquirer is an elegant
country shset and has beon conducted from its ncep

it has ever borne its hand gailantly in the strife and

with its late conductors wishing them long lives Of
happiness and good fortune; and We joyfully grasp
the hand of our old friend, SAMUEL W. MELTON, who
now aftor two years retirement returns to the
Enquirers helm. The paper will again take up tho
conservative political position it formerly occupied

the people of South Carolina for his professional
ability and lofty moral tone.
10 Among tho recent West Point appointments
We observe the name of our young friend, JonN r.,
BLOCKER, mentioned as follows:
"Juhn r. Blocker, brother of Sergeant William
Butler Blocker, who, from the wounds of his superb
ors, WAS in command Of his company at the battle OF
Garta Becn, and was killed at tho head of his COM

after being twice wounded, ras shot down in the
storming party at Chepultspec."
1t was but the other day that heard an officer of
tho Palmetto Regiment speaking in exalted terms of
Sergeant WILLIAM BUrLRR BLOCKER. Ie was"
said this officer, Zone of the most gallant young men

among them. in short, the more they become
civilized, the less they are Mormons. This devcl

lose sight of this consideration in determining
our policy towards the Mormons.
Before I close, would cite the House to some
remarks of Mr.. Burke, in the British Parliament,
on the subject of coercing the American colonies.
Mr.. Burke, in his celebrated speech on concilia.
ton with the American colonies, says:
"First, sir, permit me to observe that the use
of force aloue is but temporary. 1t may subdue
for q moment, but it does not remove the neces-
sty of subduing again; and a nation is not gov.
erned which is perpetualy to be conquered"
Suppose you defeat the Mormons in series
of battles, and they do not fly to the mountains,
but remain sullcn, yielding an enforced obedi-
ence under the shadow of their holy temple: how
long will that last? As soon as you have with
drawn your troops they trample your authority
under foot. 1t will be necessary to keep large
military force permanently i'll Utah. Do you
propose to do this? 1t will be a very expensive
operation.
Again, Mr.. Burke says:
awe have no sort Of experience in favor Of
force as an instrument in the rule of our colonies
Their growth and their utility have boon owing
to methods altogether different. The last cause
of this disobedient spirit in the colonies is hardly
less powerful than the rest, as it is not merely
moral, but laid deep in the natural condition Of
things. Three thousand mhes of ocean lie be.
