Amongst the visitors noticed in town yestor.
day was Col. A z. Shut, Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, William Prescott Smith, Esq,
Master Of Transportation on the same road,
and Capt. Henry Clay Pate, of Kansas noioriety.
All these gentlemen visited the prisoners aud
had conversation with ,hem. The meeting be
tween Brown and Pate was not of the most
cordial character on the part OF the former IL
will be remembered that Pate was captured by
Brown 10 one Of his Kansas battles, by piece
Of strategy not recognized in honorable war;
fare Brown declares he has met great many
men in his life possessed Of more courage than
Capt Pate, to which the captain responded by
charging Brown with all kinds of villainy,
amongst them he intimAtes that Brown would
at any time appropriate another mans proper
" TO his own use.
Brown was visited yesterday by Rev James
H. March, Of the M. e. Church The reverend
gentleman having advanced an argument In
favor Of ths institution of Slavery aa it now
exists, Brown replied TO him, saying " My
dear sir, you know nothing about Christianity;
YOU will have to learn the A Is Cs in the lesson
Of Christianity, as ind you are entirely igno-
rant of the meaning of the word. /, OF course,
respect you as gentleman, but II is as a

hore thouRht IL best to draw such DISCUSSION

Democratic Convention In Lake.

EpiTos or LEADER The 'unwashed and

mass Convention at the Court House in this

Congressional Convention. The details Of this

in this gathering, is chokc-ful of fun and iu-

rather limited in numbers, but terribly pugna-

COMPLIMENTARY.

We take pleasure in transferring 70 our COL
umus, from the Due West Telescope aud the Alb
heville Independent Prcss, the subjonel compli.
rentary notices of our immediate citizen,
Gen. W. C. MonAoNE. The occasion referred to
was tho late Commencement in Erskino College
"In the afternoon was delivered the AnniYer
sary Address by Gen. w. C. MoRAGHE, of Edge
field. And it may be sufficient to say that it
met the highest expectations Of all present It
had several excellcncies. It was elegantly writ
ten, was full of thought, and showed throughout
the marks Of q highly cultivated intellect. We
have rarely listened to 50 hne specimen of "puro
glish undcfled." The subject of the Address
WAS about this: "a large and liberal education
necessary to Professional success general uso-
fulness." We hope the author will furnish copy
of the Address for publication. It's dissemination
would do good.'-DHe West Telescope.
"The Annual Address before the Literary So
cietics was delivered by Gen. W. C. MonAayR, OF
Edgcfeld. His subject was, The Influence Of a
Liberal Education in Promoting Professional Sue
cess and Securing Individual Happiness-ani
the address MAS an earnest and eloquent appeal in
behulf of higher order Of literary culture. We
had beard Gen. MoRAaNE on similar occasions bc-
fore and expected NO ordinary effort, and in this
ne wero not disappointed. The address exhibited
throughout the fruits of IN enlarged and liberal
scholarship, and presented the many sided as.
pects Of the subject with great fulness of learn

in his own practice the doctrines ho was advoca.
ting aud pressed their application with all the on

thomes. The ad q -ess We quito m elaborate pro-

and in such case, should proposition reach your
Honor, Offering to carry the said mails ri weekly,
by o one-horse sulky, for even one fourth of the
amount demanded by the railroad company, We
feel fully satisfied thut your Honor would not for

not admitting of consideration merely Of dollars
and cents. If the premises here advanced be true
wo think xeare entitled to thcrespect and courtesy

nothing of justice and equity, which the case,
viewed otherwise, might demand"
The petition, in summing up the many incon-
venierces to which the present postal arrangements
have subjected tho petitioners, closes thus:
"If the evil had stopped here We might have
borne it in silence; but since in lieu of those
hacks, by recent contract, line of onc-horse
sulkies has beon substituted, which afford no
facilities whatever for travel, and, to all appear
auce, scarcely any for carrying the mails, wo
come, as with the voice of one man, to ask of your
Honor moro liberal appropriation, that we may
have means Of communication above repronch,
and fully competent to answer the end for which
it is designed"

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF RATTLEsNAKE.
1t appears by the following dispatch that
whisky is not an antidote for the poison oi
rattle snake bites:
St,iJ6ling's Springs, Augtsta county, Ta.,
Aug. Sth, lS59.-Wm. a. Perrin, of Staun-
ton, Va, was bit at this place by rattle
snake, which he was handling as pet, or
Saturday, at three o'clock, and died on Sun
day yesterday about half-past one o'clock.
He suffered intense pain and extreme nausea,
until death relieved him. There were some
five or six physicians present. They treated
the case with ammonia and whisky, that
seemed to have very little effect. The un.
fortunate man was under the impression that
the snake would not strike unless it was in
coil, and that if it did strike whisky was
perfect antidotc; both of which opinions
were erroneous, though I think that is the
general opinion. am satisfied that the idea
OF whisky counteracting the effect of the
poison is mistake, and this instance should
prove warning to persons hereafter not to
rely on this remedy. This man was bitten
four years ago by a copper-head, and was re,
lieyed then by drinking large quantity o
whisky. 1t was singular fancy for any man
to pet rattlesnakes.

the claims of Edgefeld for similar facilities. We
join in with them, heart aud hand, and 60 will
every reasonable man within our borders, and
earnestly hope that tho Department will give this
duly mail proposition the most favorable consde-
ration, to which, wo think, it is fully entitled
From this pupor addressed to the Hon. J. HoLr
Post Master General, wo extract and endorse the
following passages:
ut is our opinion, properly based, we think
and We wish your Honor to note it-that the pres.
eut one horse arrangement will prove more and
more inadequate to the tusk Of carrying the mails
in the future, particularly during the sessions OF
Congress, when the mail bngs ARE literally crammo
with Public Documents" to supply tho many
individuals who arc furnished through, and by the
! five routes diverging here. 1t. is Il well known
fact to many of our citizens, that frequently, lu-
ring the sessions of Congress, the hacks lately
running this line were hcaciiy laden BY the
mail matter alone; and when it is remembered thai
the mail was carried only ri-weekly, together with
| tho number Of Offices supplied on the cross
routcs it is not matter of surprise that such has
| been the case. Whit has been, in this relation
will, under similar circumstances occur again. and
if, in travelling this route more than dozen times
the carrier has failod in erery instance, to reach
this, the first Post Office on his line westward, in
due tmc-which the Post Master of this place
states to be true-wo think it not only highly pro.
baLlc, but almost positively certain, that he will
fail entirely, without other means Of conveyance
when the additional matter OF each Congressional
Session shall have been added.
"While pleading for Lexington specially and
particularly, wo also urge the claims Of our sister
Edgcfold, knowing from the tone of her press, and
the character Of her people, that there is great dis
satisfaction there with the present arrangement
Edgeacld and Lexington need such facilities as
they once together enjoyed. They have no i'm
mediate rail road advantages and yet, cnpitol.
of their respective districts, they expected ia

The South and The Union.

AS going to show that the people of the South
arc not at this time thinking of disunon, We quote
D few emphatic sentences from tho Montgomery
.4drertiser d Gazette, leading exponent of the
ultra Southern sentiment in Alabama.
ave believe that this government was inytitu-
tod for great and good purposes, by men whose
hearts were filed with love Of their race, and
whose actions were prompted bya lofty spirit Of
patriotism. We believe that, if rightly admins
tered and as its founders intended it should be, i.
is the noblest government ever devised by the Wit
of man. The desire Jon. il, dissolution isnoo by no
means general. II possesses, in great degree, the
lore and admiration cf the people Of the South. y
60 we have thought, and have therefore deniod
the policy Of any present disunion ,eheme, such as
the election Of Black Republican to tho Prosi,
lency
