Nnhla Sent;ments.

IT is gratifying in times of political excitement
and during heated conflict to meet with an actor
in such scenes who has the manliness and indie
pcndence to rise above party prejudice and petty
icalousics. laboring with .bis whole soul for the
best interests and welfare of his country, and sri-
wing to impress thosS6round him with the same
high sense of duty. Ffbm this cause VIC are led
to admire the sentiments coGhified in the following
extract from Il late number of the. Texas Tribune
an excellent weekly published at Gilmcr, Upslcr
Co.. and edited by j. II. TRowELL, Esq The ar
tice from which this extract is made was in reply

coarse yituperaton and personal abuse. Here is

care not how high or how low, how rich or how

our language has been tortured and its meaning
mistaken, and although our private feelings might

The Palmetto Riaemeu.

Several months ago there was an effort made by
some young men in this place to form volunteer
corps under the above name, and at one time we
thought success would attend the movement.
From various causes, however, the spirit and in
tcrest excited on the subject have been allowed to
decline, and it is with regret that we are cons
PEELED to class the effort among the almost
bcrless movements in our midst for the last few
years which have "vanishcd into thin air." Is
this not serious reflection upon the energy and
perseverance of the community! We think so,
and would urge it strongly upon all, especially
young men, to come to the rescue, and rallying
around the standard of the "PalmcttOes," seek
the establishment of Company second to none
within the borders of our loved State. 1t is use
less, it is idle and altogether unnecessary to ad
vance any proof Of the necessity for such a Com
pany in our town. At IN ordinary time, when the
country is not rocked with Discussions and dis
cords, volunteer corps should be encouraged and
sustained but whcp, as now, the threatening at
titude,of affairs bct0ken stirring times, and may
hap the dreadful carnage Of civil war, is it not
cminently proper that we of the South, the young
men more particularly, should be trained anu
skilled in the uscl of arms: If the worst is to
come We should be prepared to meet it, and there
is no better precauton that can be exercised than
the organization of volunteer military companies
Young men of Anderson awake from the lctl-
argic state into which you have unconsciousy fall
len and proceed to enrol your names to the con-
sitution of the spalmetto Rifemen," with the de-
termination that this corps shall be exccllcd by
