Beech Island Planters Club. The Re-
opening of the Slave Trade.

"a ShS SiosS ihuSs
MR. EDITOR You are aware of the exis-
tence of somewhat distinguished Planters
Club in South Carolina, whose Club House is
on Beech Island, at which the members of
the association meet, on the first Saturday of
every month, for the discussion of agricultu-
raj subjects, and to enjoy good social din
ner. Sharing in the proverbial hospitality OF
this Club, and having been interested in its
debates Of the question, !" How will the re-
opening of the African slave trade affect the
agricultural interest of the South" it occurs
to me that sone account Of the same will be
acceptable to your readers.
By previous appointment, Mr.. William
Gregg opened the discussion. Mr.. G. is too
we'll known, as an able and sound man, for
any to doubt that his speech on tue occasion,
against the bringing of more negroes from
Africa, was instructive and worth hearing.
lie showed the absurdty of attempting by
this means to equalIze the population or po-
litical power between the South and the
North. He explained in what way he thought
the re-opening Of the slave trade would re,
duce the price of cotton to the injury Of tl!
planting interest," and also seriously depricat:
the market value OF slaves to the prejudice q
all that own them.
Senator Hammond followed IN speech o
greater length, on the same SHE uf the que''
ton. He spoke with unusual zeal and ear
nestness, and indulged pretty freely in cpl
thets and rhetoric. He said that the slave
trade agitation is calculated to strengthen
The anti-slavery feeling and political power
at the North, and electa man President whose
policy and administration would be most hos
tile to the South; and that n" Southern State
would 60 for secession on The African Save

A Sister in a Tight Place.

At l., on Saturday evening, fsE
tigued by his long journey. WAGNER
with his son John, drove bis team into
good range, and determined to pass the
Sabbath enjoying season of worship
with the good folks Of the village.
When the time for worship arrived
John was set to watch Che team, while
the WAGNER went in with the crowd
The preacher had hardly announced bis
subject before the old man fell sound q
sleep. He sat against the partition in
the center Of the body slip; just against
him; separated only by the very low par
tition, sat freshly lady, who seemed all
absorbed in the sermon. She struggled
hard with her feelings, until unsble to
control them longer, she burst out with q
loud scream. and shouted at the top of
her voice, rousing the old man, who, but
half awake, thrust his arm around her
waist and cried, very soothingly:
"Wo. Nance! Wo, Nance VOL
Here john" calling bis son, "cut the bell
lyband, and loose the breeching. quick,
or she'll tear everything in pieces y
1t was all the work of moment; but
the sister forgo: to shout, the preacher
lost the thread of bis discourse, and the
meeting came prematurely to an end
while, deeply mortified, the poor old man
skulked away, determined not to 60 to
meeting again until he could manage to
keep his senses by remaining awake.
