The south and F.,e UnSoa.

The Union men of the South begin to speak
ont scusibly an! patTo,ically. The majority of
the Southern newspapers take the Unio: side.
The Memphis Enquirer says "South Carolina
must move by herself, ii at all" The New Or
leans Picayune looks for I" the exctements Of
feeling TO give place TO u sober, intelligent and
deliberate purpose To take no hasty step" The
Louisville Courier saws there is not one man in
Kentucky who expects her TO go out Of the Cn-
ion The Louisville Democrat pronOunces0 the
secession of State for anv reason now existing,
an extraordinary exhibition OF folly and reckless
ness" The Baltimore american strongly de-
nounces the "attempt tn destroy a nationality
that has never had an equal upon earth" The
Memphis Bulletin predicts that South Carolina
will soon ' find she has jumped out of the fry
ing pan into the fire" The Vicksburg Wig,
though in the midst Of the Mississippi fire-eaters
declares, awe do not mean, either by precePt
or example, TO advocate secession or revolution.
The Raleigh a. CO Standard intima,es that the
Disuuion panic is fomented by Slave dealers,
who wish TO buy up negroes cheap. Even the
Charleston Courier counsels moderation and
calmness. The Missouri, Virginia, Maryland,
Kentucky and Tennessee newspapers, without
distinction of party, almost without cxcep-
ton unanimous against Dsnn'on-
Leading politicians also begin TO respond To
public sentiment Alex. H. stephens declares
against Secession. He and Lx-Oov. johnson

ArrRAY WITH Horse THIEVES. On Frid.

AFFRAY WITH HORSE THIEVES. On Friday
evening Last at about 9 O'Clock, Mr. Hoffman,
employed upon the farm Of Hr. \. Il Graham,
in Parma Township, went 20 see to affairs AZ the
barn, and just as he reached the building he en-
countered a man who struck bim with knife,
cutting through his clothing, aud then knocked
him down with a club. The deperado had got
one Of Mr. Graham's horses out of the barn, and
bis accomplice was preparing 10 lead another
out, when he was attacked Dy Mr. Gs dog, a
powerful one, who got the man down, aud would
have made short work o! him If thief number one
had not come to the rescue with his club. Hof-
man recovered from the blow, went to the house,
got sho; gun, and gave the thieves fire in tie
rear, just as they were making their escape.
Mr.. Graham was absent at Jackson, which was
lucky for their thieves. The Wilkins had broken
open tbs. barn, and would have stolen a valuable
pair of horses but for the courageous conduct OF
Hoffman
The same night a pair Of horses and a carriage
were stolen from Mr.. Ray, VIII, lives in the same
ne;ghborhood. The thieves were undoubtedly
the same who attempted TO take Mr. Grabams
horses -Jackson Patriot, van.

There was also 500 tons of blooms shipped in
1857, and how much previously We do not know.
That branch of the manufacture, however, has
been abandoned.
IL will be seen that the product Of pi. iron has
fallen off the last year. That has been owing TO
temporary causes. considerable time having been
taken up in repairs, and in introducing improve
ments with view TO increased product IN future
years. The prospect now is, that next years
product will reach 10000 tons, if not higher

as next year there viii be iour AT least in blast,
and five, if both stacks of the Pioneer company
are fired up and the new impulse given Ia the
iron trade will be likely to bring all the available
facilities of production into requisiticn.

Lynch Law.

LynCn Law.
The origin of this term may be found
in Historical Recollsctions Of Virginia, by
Henry Howe. This is an extract:
Colonel Charles Lynch, a brother of the
founder Of Lynchburg, Va, was an OFF,
Ger of the American Revolution. His
residence was on the Staunton road, in
the southwest part of this (Campbel)
county, now the seat of his grandson,
Charles Henry Lynch, Esq, At that
time this country was very thiuly settled,
and infested by lawless band of Tories
and desperadoes. The necessity of the
ease involved desperate measures. and
Colonel Lynch, then leading Wing, ap-
pretended and had them punished with
out any superauous legal ceremony
Hence the origin of the term, Lynch
Law" This practice of Lyuching COM
tinued years after the war, and was ap-
piled to many cases Of mere suspicion of
guilt, which could not be regularly proven.
I'm l792," says Wirt's Life Of Henry,
"there were many suits on the south side
of James River for infictipg Lynch'S
law.n At the battle of Guilford Court
house, a regiment of riasmen, raised in
this part of the State, under the COM
mand of Colonel Lynch, behaved with
much gallantry. The Colonel died soon
after the close of the war. Charles
Lynch, Governor of Louisiana, was his
son.

Origin of Slavery.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the first volume Of his
history of the United States, gives an &C.
count Of the early traffic Of the Europeans
in slaves. In the middle ages the Vens.
tians purchased white men, Christians and
other, aud sold them to the Saracens in
Sicily and Spain.s In England, the An
glo.Saxons sold their servants as slaves
to foreigners. The Portuguese FIRST inn
ported negro slaves from Western Africa
into Europe in 1442. Spain soon en-
gagged in the traffic, and negro slaves
abounded in some places of that kingdom
After America was discovered the indians
of HispsRiola wereimported into Spain
and made slaves.
The Spaniards9 visited the coast of
North America and kidnapped thousands
of the Indians, whom they transported in
10 slavery in Europe and the West Indies
Columbus. himself kidnapped Eve hundred
rative Americans, and sent them into
Spain, that they might be publicly sold

AmericanoIndians into bondage continued
two centuries. Negro slavery was frst
introduced into America by Spanish slave.

A royal edict of Spain authorized negro
slavery in America in 1918. King Fer,
