Our Sentiments.

Speaking Of Vigilance Committees the Charleston
Courier uses the following sensible language which
must appeal to the understanding and good sense Of
all intelligent and rejecting minds. We have long
since believed that the majesty of the law ought to bc
the supreme arbter to whose dctum there should be
''unanswerng obedience" and when the necessity
arises for extra vigilance that the simple provisions
of existing law be vigorously enlorced:-
"The best vigilance committeeman the only oae
that should be needed in South Carolina-s the prop
er enforcement and execution and application Of our
vagrancy and patrol laws. Magistrates, commanders
of BEATS and Others officially interested should give
special attention to these laws at this time and all
good citizens should cooperate and thus prevent If
possible not only possible evils, but the necess
ty of resort to violence and to extra judicial penal
ties-a resort which is always evil even when the
justification is strongest

Vice Regent for South Carolina.

We noticed in our previous number the appointment
of Mrs. Mary Cesut as Vice Regent for South Caro-
lima. Since tlcn some few facts in reference to this
venerable and interesting lady have come to our Know
edge, which will we doubt not, interest onr readers
Mrs Chestnut was the daughter of Col. John Cox, OF
the Quarter Masters Department in the Revolutionary
Army and OF Miss Boes, 1--WE are not positive ta1 we
smell it corrcctv) Of New York. For some years pre-
yous to tile Revolution, COL Cox was merchant resi-
dnc in PHILADELPHIA. About the time of the war, Inc
removed to beautiful country-seat on the Delaware
near Trenton called Bloomsbury; but his health ali-

died in lT93 lie was always esteemed as patriot anu
n man of integrity and courage; Inc was Il lncl'u "l
General WaslIingtons, and in habit u frequent SOCIAL
intercourse with him. Although for sIXtythrce years
resident Of South Carolina, Mrs. Chcsnuts early llc
was passed at her fathers countrysent OF oBoomsbury;
and il was while residing there that .lIc incident oc-
Cured to which we have before REFEREED OF her being
one of those who welcomed General Washington al
Trenton bridge. Colonel Cox's removal to rl''ladei

and Mrs Chcsnut, then Miss Cox, was in the habit o
attending Mrs. Washingtons drawng-room receptions
and always on those occasions having few words
with General Washington himself She speaks of lmv
ing met Him. for the last time, at complimentary bal
given hin on his birthday in l79G. 1t is singular ant
touching coincidence, which has thus made this ven

the present, and placed her one Of that band 0

The South Alone should Govern the
South,

This is the title ola pamphlet, containing the ad
dress of the Hon. JonN TOWNSEND, at a meeting in
st. Johns Coeton, held at Rockville to receive the
report Of their delegates to the Democratic State Con
Tention, held in Columbia in May last.
1t is an earnest and solemn appeal to the men of the
South upon the issues before the country which
are fast hurrying the question to our very hearth
stones, and which is destined soon to press spon u.s.
that we will not'be allowed to postpone the decision
The question is asked Is it for manly resistance. to
be followed with security and prosperous end or,
Is it for Submission and short ingorous ease to be
followed with certain ruu?' Then comes the solemn
admonition-'Say and after you have made your de-
ison write it upon the door posts of your habitations
that all who enter may know what is the fate you
have chosen for those wbnH. you cherish within"

since that Mr c. /. Siver, Of Camden, had received
patent for an improved plough. A ploughing match,
as we learn from the Camden Journal took place on
the Sd inst, at Boykins Mill, between the sbrer
plough and another called the Griffin plough in which
the Silver plough came ont victorious
We learned from various sources that the nloucb

it is to be hoped that sufficient capital and enterprise
will be expended to bring it into general use.
