Washington, NoU 2O.-Nothing can as yet
be positively ascertained concerning the pre-
else object of sending large bodies of troops to
the Rio Grande, further than the protection of
that frontier from the attacks of the forces of
Cortinas, to utterly destroy which is the pur-
pose of the Administration.
AS it was but recently supposed in official
quarters that the two companies from Fort
Clarke and the one from Baton Rouge would
be sufficient to check the movements of that
brgand, the augmentation of the troops, Just
ordered, has naturally excited suspicious of
other contemplated measures.
Various speculations are INDUCED, but the
most plausible theory, founded on certain reye-
lations deemed to be reliable, is, that Spain,
France, and England, mediate prompt action
for the satisfaction of claims in which their
subjects are interested, and which may involve
the national existence of Mexico, or the SUBJ
stitution of monarchy, under the protection
of those Powers.
In view OF these circumstances and probabili-
ties, the United States may feel constrained to
occupy the northern part of Mexico, to secure
the satisfaction OF the claims of our own citi
zens against that country, as well as for the
security of the American frontier. From all
that can be ascertained it is fair to presume
that some of the vessels of the home squadron
will soon proceed to Vera Cruz and other ports
of Mexico. Indeed, this seems to be certain,
so interesting are the reported purposes of
France England, and Spain, now regarded in
official quarters.

THE HOME JOURNAL.

Prominent among our exchanges to which we
would ask the attention Of the reader, when ma
king out his subscriptions for the new year, is the
Home Journal, published in New York, by NOR
R1s & WILLIS The first number for 1857 Is
model. The Charleston Courier says of it, with
truth. "Let the intelligent reader shape out IN
ideal of first rate family newspaper, which shall
be instructive, suggestive and entertaining, and
shall discourse in its weekly visits on oil subjects
of current interest and development, in art litera
ture, fashions, manners and morals, and he or she
will come near the plan and execution of the
"Rome Journal" The harmony and variety OF
topics, too are so we'll reported, that no reader
of pure and elevated tastes, csnfail to find large
portion of each issue exactly suited to his wants"
AS literary family newspaper the Home Jour-
nal is incomparably the best in the country. The
editors are perfectly educated to their difficult
and delicate tasks and the pure and elevated tone
with which they invest every department Of its
management, is truly admirable. We read every
page of every issue and find nothing stale or IN.
profitable; and we're its visits to our sanctum dis
continued, We should provide against such a de-
privation, incontinently, by forwarding the sub
scription-price.

EDITORIAL CHANGES.

The Laurensville Herald has been sold to JAMES
HoLLINGswoRTH, who has secured the services OF
HOMER L. McGowAN, as Editor. Mr.. McGowAS's
Salutatory, in the last issue is spirited and clever
and gives promise Of q vigorous and successful

Our esteemed friend, Stokes, the retiring Fro
prietor, has removed to Columbia, with view to
the establishment in that city, of the Farmer and
Planter, recently purchased from the veteran edi-
tor GEORGE SEABoRN, of Pendleton. In the con-
troll Of the Hxald, Mr.. Stokes has always been
an active and Jealous agriculturist, making the
subject the prominent feature Of his paper and
the object of his life. We know no man better
fitted to undertake the control Of IN agricultural
journal, and we predict for him permanent sue
cess. Besides being the organ of the State Agri
cultural Society, the Farmer and Planter will, in
itself, be eminently worthy Of the support Of our
country friends. We bespeak for it, then, cor
dial encouragement. 1t will be published month
", at Columbia, at 81 per anuum.

SHOOTING AFFAIR IN CHESTER.

Our readers have doubtless heard Of the shoot
ing affair, in Chester, on the 9th ultimo, in which
Mr.. r. MORRISON was severely wounded by a
man named HoDoEs. The perpetrator OF this
wanton act, with his accomplice HowERToN, made
their escape, but have been arrested and lodged
in Jail in Ashevile, N. c., to await requisition
from our Governor.
Mr.. MoRn1soN's escape from death is almost
miraculous. The ball took effect in the abdomen,
passed directly through the bowels and lodged
under the skin Of the back near the baek-b,ne.-
The Standard says that he was removed to his resi-
dence, but there WAS not so much as glimmering
of hope that he would ever recover. We are much
gratfed, however, to state that he has passed
safely by the very jaws of death, and, to the
wonder and amazement of even the most sapguine
is rapidly getting well, although it doessecm that
the chances must have been thousand against
him to one in his favor. Such Q wonderful case
almost exceeds crednlity."

We have had on our table, for several weeks,
neat little volume Of poems, by Mr.. WILLIAM W.
EAST, of Laurens, which merited from us m ear
lier notice. We should have ventured criticism:
albeit utterly inadequate; but the contribution
published in another column, from the facile and
ready pen of writer himself u promising poet
relieves us of the task, and performs the duty far
more acceptably. We refer to this notice, with
pleasure.
Throughout this little volume, ore to be found
the evidences of poetic genius powerful, yet chaste
and classical-brilliant, though little tempered
BY that assiduous culture which must needs give
tone to the poets fame. We value it more as
promises bright and glowing promise-the fore
shadowing of well-tra;ned and commanding power; /;
and while we enroll the name of the gifted author
amongst our favorite home-poets, We confidently
look to his future for q noble fulflment Of his
own high purposes, and the earnest hopes Of his
friends.

THE BLUE RIDGE ROAD.


The efforts of party in the State to fasten this
gigantic burden upon our treasury are really wor-
thy of better cause. Not content with success
sive re.considerations and successive defeats in
the Legislature, those Immediately interested are
making yet another struggle. meeting of the
citizens of Anderson was held last week, and res.
outions passed eulogisng the enterprise, depre-
eating the action of the Legislature, and reques-
ting the Governor to call extra session in order
that the friends of the road may make still another
effort to prevent such "great loss and Distress"
This movement is as extraordinary as il is un-
reasonable; and we indulge the expectation that
the Governor will promptly refuse to give 10 it the
sanction Of his authority. The State Of South
Carolina has never pledged herself to bald the
Blue Ridge Road; her assistance has been affor-
ded to It, thus far, upon conditions similar to
those imposed upon other roads in the State
These conditions have not been fulfilled by the
company, and as matter of course the guaranty
of the State should cease and determine. Twice
have the friends of the measure, after elaborate
appeals and unwearied exertons, failed to reverse
this decree and it has come to be a question Of
propriety whether they should be permitted to
"ring the changes" upon it, eternally. II the
Legislature, at the recent session, had declared it
to be the will Of the people to sustain the road,
the opponents of the measure, we undertake to
say, would have submitted without strp sge.-
Why, now, should the defeated party exhibit a
different attitude?
We admit that the people of Anderson, the city
of Charleston and the laborers at the Tunnel, are
liable to suffer inconvenience, perhaps loss, by
the action of the Legislature. But is the State to
be charged with their misfortunes? 1t was their
fault to suppose that the people would be hood
winked into blind support Of a questionable and
exceedingly expensive enterprise; and we had
hoped that they would learn 10 bear, with philoso
ply, the consequences Of hardihood so entirely
headlong
This is matter of money, and nothing else.-
The eloouence of its advocates to the contrary not
withstanding, patriotism hos nothing whatever to
do with the Blue Ridge Railroad. 1t is h subject
for calm and deliberate calculation. Anderson
District and Charleston, and they alone are to
reap the benefits. York District has no more
interest in it than she has in the route which
promises to overleap the Rocky Mountains. Why,
then, should York be called upon to foot the bills!
Why should We pay such price, when Anderson
and Charleston would surely 'laugh us to scorn"
were we to demand for ourselves the like unequal
discrimination? Will Anderson and Charleston
undertake to fill the Golfers with which to build a
road from Yorkville to Morganton? We have
not the boldness to ask it Now, why should not
Anderson and Charleston, and oil others interes.

ted, pay the price Of their own exclusive prosper
ity! r. they desire authority from the Legislature
to tax their people for such slauda5ie purpose We
shall not utter one word Of dissent The people Of
Mississippi afford an example,, in this particular,
worthy Of attention. Quite recently, law passed
the Legislature of that State authorizing a tar
upon all the counties adjoining the Mississippi
River for the purpose Of building levees along the
banks. The river.counteH did not pretend to ask
other and entirely disiDterested sections to divide
the expenses Of their own material advancement
Now, if mississippi refuses TO burden tho whole
State for the benefit of section, why may not the
State of South Carolina, With equal propriety and
justice, firmly adhere to hrr resolution not to tax,
grievously, her entire population for the benefit
of other States and mere section Of her own.
In good faith, let us heir no more Of this Blue
Ridge adventure. The Stite has already given
to it more largely than to any other section
Despite this liberality the enterprise has failed
It is dead. It is buried. 1t would sleep weu.-
