A LARGE AND DELIGHTFUL ExeURsIoN.-The
excursion Of the Ebenezer Sabbath School to Civ
mont Pavilion, yesterday, was, in the opinion of
competent judges the largest that has ever visited
that most delightful summer resort From one
thousand to twelve hundred persons participated
i'm the pleasures of the day. Although the weather
was exceedingly warm, the company all seemed
to enjoy themselves. Among the incidents Of the
day was the baptizing of nineteen young children
by the pastor OF the church, Rev. DR. Ryan, and
the Rev. w. III. Chapman, former pastor One of
the children received the name of the place. fGly-
MONTY OF instrumental inusc-it is enough to
say that Withers furnished it. The vocal music
under the leadership Of Mr.. w. II. Barbour was
excellent Miss Ella Clarke performing upon the
melodeon. All praise to them. Much praise is
also due to the propretors of the pavilion and the
officers Of the steamer Mount Vernon for their ad
mirable arrangements TO make all happy and
comfortable; About ~ O'Clock p. m, the COM
pany arrived at Washington. well pleased with
their trip, and with desire for such another
good time generally, soon to come.

acts OF the officers is any evidence that the Mayor
is alright on the goose question.

five o'clock. The balloon having been
filled to its full capacity, Mr.. J. w. Nc

and expressed his intention to ascent

ascended to the height of about two miles,
descending between two pines in the

rer sustained no injury, and the canvass
was but slightly torn from its contact
with the trees. We understand it is the
intention os Mons. Wells to give another

The Doctrine of Instruction.

has been proposed in several Districts
that public meetings of the citizens be
held, to instruct their Senators and mem-
bers how to vote upon the Blue Ridge
Railroad question, which it is supposed will
come up for action in the next Legislature.
1t seems to be the belief of many persons
that members of the Legislature are bound
to act and vote in accordance with the direc.
tions Of their constituents, regardless of
what their, own convictions may be. We
believe that while member should have
at heart the interests and wishes of his
constituents, he should nevertheless he left
to the exercise of some discretion. He Of
teRtimcs has facts and grounds upon which
to base his decisions that are not in posses.
sion of his constituents, and if his integrity
and judgment are not of that character that
the people can rely upon, il is their own
fault in having such an one TO represent
them. This subject is suggested by the
following which we find in the South Car.
Gilman over the signature of "a States
Rights man." opposing the call for public
meetings for any such purpose as that ndi.
Gated above:
am an on. and out anti-Blue Ridge Rail.
road man, but am equally an opponent of
the doctrine of instruction. These views
are of n tendency with those of the Aboli.
tionists and the higher law party of the
North, who, finding the Constitution of the
United states an obstacle in the way Of in.
vading the rights of the South, have endeav-
orcd to trample upon that instrument by
letting in the influence and power of King
Numbers. Already we have heard the nut.
terings of this popular sentiment against
our Parish system and other conservative
features of our State Constitution and we
advise all who have at heart tho true inter.
est of our State, to discountcnance such
proceedings. The Anti Blue Ridge party
would be the gamers by carrying out the
doctrine CT instruction, rs they have clear
major!ties in Sumter, Williamsburgh, Dar.
lingtnn Marlboro and Grcenvllle Dis tricts,
and probably IN some of the Parishes, where
some of the members of the House and Of
the Senate voted for the Blue Ridge Rail
road, We trust and hope that no anti-Bue
Rridgc man will countenancc such n move.
mcnt in favor Of instructing their members,
but leave them 10 vote from the honest con.
victions of tlfer minds such has been, and
trust will ever be, the true Carolina scnti.

DIR. A. G. MackeY.

We are gratilied to observe in the Chica.
go correspondence of the Charleston Con-.
rier, dated 10th Sept the following:
"The Masonic confraternity are jubilan,
and are out serenading, cheering, and appa
rently in ecstacy. DIR. Mackey, of Charles.
ton, has just been elected, by nm almost
unanimous vote, the q. G. High Priest OF
the United States. lie adds another name
TO n bead roll Of illustrious men. De Witt
Clinton, Livingston, Poinsett and Charles
Gilman are his immediate predecessors, and
the present head of Archmasonry will only
reflect honor on his high dignity. 1t is
really pleasant to hear the encomiums on
our distinguished fellow citizen. South
Carolina is suddenly popular, and has been
tOnsted and cheered in n manner which to
an outsider is gratifying, but rather disturb
ing"
