COLD WEATHER, AND COTTON.

The breath Of winter has been folt in our latitude,
but not yet with bghtng influence. Bis frosts have
been visible but not killing The change is u de-
lightful one,-hoalthful and brscing. Cotton how
ever is not yet touched the uplands it would not
matter if it had been almost the entire crop has
matured. It is mistake though, we think, to calcu
late upon the present crop being unusually large
one. The rush to market would lead 10 this suppoa
ton. But this has beOn owing to the fact Of the early
msturty of the crsp auperaddcd to the circumstance
of fine prices, The planters have, these accounts
been able to gather aud willing to sell rapidly At
least such hos been the case in EdgoRld. We have
lately seen numerous cotton fields in both the pine
and oak lands; and nearly the whole crop is open
and out,-most of it sold dDpbtieps Judging by our
Immediate section we should say that there good
grounds for thinking that the crop Of cotton stands
at present -estinsted. 0ae thing it is delightful
to hear-would that wc could all it! It is, that
money is becoming abundant throughout the country
and that the rates of money are rapidly falling.

O BIT u A RY,

Miss FRANCES BROADWATER is no more She
breathed her last nboat o'clock Monday morning,
the fret of November, in the 23d year Of her age,
daughter Of Mr.. GUY BRoADwArgR.
She was truly tho pride and ornament of tho family
circle. Sometimes u widowed sister claimed and re-
caivod her company aud her kind and useful atten-
ton and then it was consolation to the family, md
especially her aged parents, to know that FANNY
would come home again. But aas now sho is gone
nevermore to return. May tho dsconsolate family
and friends Of tho deceased havo the consolation Of
the word Of God, which says: But would not have
you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which
are asccp that ye sorrow not even us others which
have no hope for if believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even go them which sleep in Jesus, will
God bring with him." She was baptised on profeR.
sion of her nth ut the Baptist Church of Christ at
Rehoboth some four or five years ago, and adorned
the profession she made with we'll ordered life and
piuus conversation. "Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord" D. d.
DIED, June 10th, in Edgefeld District, S. c., Mrs.
SUSANNAu CAUGHMAN, wifo of Rev. EMANUEL
CAuuNAS, in the SD year Of her age.
She became a member of the Evang Lutheran
church in early life, and moro than ~ years ago she
embraced Christ in the pardon and remission of her
sins hy living and evangelical faith. She found
great pleasure in training up her children in tho nur
ture and almoHitlOn of the Lord and for their
fulness in his kingdom; and she lived to them al
converted to God by saving and evangelical faith
She was kind and ancctonate to all, and her hand
open to administer to the wants of the dis
trcsscd. Truly brother Caughman and his motherless
children have lost whom they never Gun forget
one for whom they may weep and mourn; but they
mourn not without hope, for they have every assu-
rance if they hold out faithful they shall all meet her
again in the kingdom of immortal glory. She bore
her aicon with resignation md christian fortitudc,
and the nearer she came to tke portal of death the
arr apl oft

have finished my course" &C. Thus she feel asleep

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA.


The annual course of lectures in this institution
(ssys the Augusta COnstitutionas) began on Monday
the lst inst. The exercises commenced with an ap-
propriate prayer by the Rev. DR.. Wilson, followed by
an Introductory lecture by Prof. II. F. Campbell.
The theme of the speaker was the character of tho
medical Sciences and their intimate relation to other
sciences. The subject was handled in IN able and
interesting manner, and we'll received by large
audience of students aud cisiIons.
It is due to Professor Campbell to state that Pro-
fsssor Jonos was the orator for the occasion; but
owing to his indisposon, the duty unexpectedly de-
volved upon Professor c.; though we must say that
his address gsyo evidence of the haste with which
it was prepared.
From the number Of students in attendance on the
first day of the course, thoro is no doubt that the
class will be lurge one.

PROCLAMATION FROM THs PREslDEST,-The
Washington Union of the 3lst October, contains
Proclamation from President Buchanan in re.
lation to violations of our neutrality laws. The
President says he has reason to believe that the
public lands Of Nicaragua have been pledged as
security for bonds issued for the purpose Of
raising funds to equip troops for another inva'
sion Of that country. He regards Gen. WIN.
Walkers expedition as one involving hostilities
against Nicaragua. He refers to the proclsms
tiou of Yrisarr, who states that the pretext of
being peaceful emigrants cannot conceal the
rsal Intentions of Gen. Walker and his party.
The President also refers to Gen. Walkers
publicly expressed intentions of renewing hos.
tilities and of his notification to the Collector
of Customs at Mobile that between two and
three hundred emigrants will shortly embark
from that point.
He closes his proclamation by enjoining upon
all officials to be active and vigilant in suppress
sing all enterprises involving violations OF our
neutrality laws.

ACCIDENT TO Ex-GoyERNoR MEAxs.-The
Winnsboro' Register, in giving an account of
the Agricultural Fair that came off in that
place on the 18th and 29th ultimo, mentions an
accident which befell Ex-Gov. Means. 1t only
gives the meagro statement in the following
paragraph:

thanks to the excellent committee, finely. All
except the mishap to E1.Gov. Means. who acci.
dentaly fell through an opening in the floor, and
received some painful, but, Dr.. Robertson in

The editor of the South Carolinian was in
formed that the fall occasioned the fracture Of
two of his ribs. He hopes, however, from the
statement of the Register, that his information
may be incorrect.

SENATOR HAMmoND,s BARNwELL


This admirable speech is displayed in full upon our
first page It will recoive the close attention OF the
people Of South Carolina 1t presents the indspen-
don't views of AL honest statesman and man OF
genius, actuated hy high sense Of duty to his home
and his country. Let it be studied and heedad ac-
oordingly.
Senator HAMMOND will perhaps be attacked upon
several Of his points,-inleed he has boen attacked
already by the Charleston Mercury, and ono or two
of Its curping contributors. But lot bear in mind
TINT the words of Wisdom arc of-times unpalatablo
to the e1ctable and impetuous And yet these last
are not without their uses. Checked by superior
prudence, they serve to keep freenen awake to
sense Of tho difficulties that necessarily surround
them. Had they tho reins in their grasp, then in
deed would freedom at once become another name
for revolution. But held subeerviept to n matured
foresight, they act as sort of alnrmguard against
all possible foos. Sometimes these foes are imagina
ry;-but sometimes too they real; although huge
ly magnifed it may be. It is the true statosman's
province to direct this enthusiasm in the right chan
NEIL if it be based upon realities; to queneh it il
founded upon imaginary fears.
Such, az it appears to US, the present course Of
Senator HAMMOND. Respectful to all, and regardful
Of every ones hopest opinions he yet talks Of things
as they appear to his own sound intellect He speaks
confidently because he clearly. From the stand
point Of his high endowments lie finds safety for the
South in tho future of the Union. Yet, not over
rustu Of his prescience, he ayows that if mis-
taken he is ready to 90 with tho foremost in any
cpssary measure of Southern action.
We osn but believe that the Senator's lofty and
truthful position will command for him the more com
plete confidence and admiration of South Carolina.
