Mssrs. Editors My object in penning you
this note, is to know whether there exists on
the Statute Book of South Carolina, a law for
the protection of farmers, against the trespasses
of hunters, and the depreciation Of their packs?
I suppose you have access to the "Book" and
can give the designed information. Now it is a
notorious fact that farmers are much annoyed
with hunters throwing down their fences and
otherwise trespassing on their lands and it is
very frequently the case that when their hounds
chance upon q flock of sheep, they exhibit their
natural voracious propensity by attacking and
preying upon them. am aware that the last
Legislature passed a law taxing superhuous
dogs land for this, all the woody quadrupeds
in the State, as well as their owners, would,
were they endowed with the power of speech,
rise up en- masse and thank them } but it seems
to me o law is required (f one does not exist to
protect farmers against the encroachments Of
those who piW keep them, nolens volens. Such a
~salutary law does exist in North Carolina, and /
think the interest of the farming portion of our
community imperatively demands q similar one.
A law protecting farmers from the ravage Of
sheep.killing dogs is obviously as important as
the "Itinerant," or the duck Law"
We, therefore, call the attention of our Mem
bers of the Legislature to the subject, knowing
they are sgood men and true'' and will do their
duty. R. H. Fl.

uomrspuN SUGGESTION.

a d
As the Legislature meet on the first Monday
of November, for the purpose of electing Elec-
tors, we throw out the suggestion that the men,
bers of both Houses clothe themselves in a suit
of homespun, and wear it as the 'badge of Of
fce," during the regular session. The Mills OF
James G. Gibbes, & Co., near Columbia, furn.
ish q very decent article, which may be pur.
chased and made into garments during the in
teryal between the two Sessions. Such a move.
ment would he in keeping with the patriotic
spirit which now animates the bosom of our
people. In the event of shines to try mems
souls" it would be an example of economy
and devotion to a common cause, that would
hush and unite the 'dispirited and
divided in measures of common redress or de
fence. What say you, gentlemen, to the proud
title of members Of a Homespun Legislature
The reader will find in another place, the
proclamation of the Governor above alluded to,
for an extra session of the Legislature. This
body is required, "if advisable, to take action
for the safety and protection of the State" Il
such action were taken in home spun suits, it
would look substantial and independent. How
we'll it would illustrate the States motto-''pa
rati!"
We extend this suggestion to the new organi'
cation Of "Minute Men," 1t is the purpose o
this society, says the Guardian, if constitutions
equality fail US in the Union, "to use every hon
orable means to establish Southern independence
out of the Union" Noble principle! Let it be
embodied in a firm support of home enterprise
Twill unite US. Twill awake US to the issue!
before us. Home-spun, and harmony forever

n9. 1t is q common observation that there
are more sufferers from debility, among Ameri-
cans, than can be found among any other civil
zed nation. The reason is obvious. We take
too little exercise, and forget the wants of the
body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In
all such cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just such a tonic and
invigorator as Dr.. J. Hostetter has given to the
world, in his CELEBRATED "BITTERS." The
weak and nervous denizen of the counting house,
the exhausted toiler upon the shop board, and
the Frustrated student of the midnight lamp,
have found a wonderful regenerator in the "Bit
ters," and prefer it to more pretentious, but less
eficacious medicines. But it should not be for
gotten that the agent which is so magical in its
influence upon a frame which is merely debilita'
ted, is equally powerful in assisting nature t.
expel the most terrible forms of disease. Whc
would not give it a trial?

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN J

Two Western NEWCOMERS have been arrested
in Marlboro District, who had under their care
a large stand of arms, and invoices about theil
persons, calling for another lot of arms-in al
about twelve hundred stands-consigned to par
ties in Wilmington, N. G. A gentleman has beer
sent to the latter place, to make further investi
cations, and arrest any implicated persons. Tht
two New Workers were committed to Jail. The
citizens of Marlboro were intensely excited and
it was with difficulty that Judge Whitner, who
was holding Court there, prevented their violent
seizure and immediate execution.
What does it mean? For what purpose are these
arms sent into our midst Are they to arm the
"Wide.Awakes," who, in the event of Lincoln's
election, will not wish to be encountered on their
Southern "pleasure excursion? Are they the
'aiders and ahetters" of n deeply.laid servile
movement? 1t is evident that it is not on in
dividual enterprise. The conclusion is forced
upon US that it is an organized, concerted scheme
to sap and mine the bulwarks of Southern socie
ty. We are forced to believe that it is the work
Of an unmanly and awless foe. We are inclined
to fix the stigma on the "Wide-Awakes,' as the
miserable creature and tool of the Black Repub-
lican party.
If his conclusion be correct, it is only one of
a tt .usand evidences of the intention Of this
part, to set all law, justice and even humanity
at d~2fance. to carry their point. AS a means
thert to, they would stimulate the darkest and
foulost passions of our servile population, and
Their stir them up to double rage by a kind OF
qualification which, were it not 30 horrible, would
only fill US with wonder and establishment. The
midnight torch of the incendiary, the treason
able plotting of the insurrectionist, the secret
distribution and burial of arms and ammunition
throughout the South for purposes too vile to be
made known-these are the forerunners of, per-
haps, a Wide.Awake crusade for the purposes of
Southern humiliation, disgrace and ruin.
We love the law; we love to see its forms pre-
served; but when sufficient evidence is brought
to convict these traitors to the country, stigmas
upon civilization and enemies of not only our
peace but our very existence as a people, they
should be hung without judge or jury. They
are condemned already. We know that a trial
cannot save them. Why wait? The law is too
slow. Public opinion controls the law anyhow,
in its practical results. The whole country
judge, jury and all-say hang them. This is
not a time for US to ~"straiu at q guat." Hang
them!

two men referred to-named Hitchings-in ex-
PLANTATION Of their conduct, told that the elder
had a son who is engaged in conducting travel.
lers from st. Louis. Missouri, to Santa Fe, New
Mexico, &c., and that the arms and ammunition
were intended for him. The prisoners have
been tried before q ~"select jury" and condemned
to hang on Friday Tomorrow They cannot
complain of their fate.

0MINUTE.MEND

An organization, p~ledging "their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor in defence Of
Southern Rights, has recently been effected in
Columbia, and has already spread to, and taken
root in different parts of the State. They are
to be known by the name Of minute Men :
and are to wear a rosette of blue ribbon on the
left side of the hat. On public occasions they
will wear a red scarf over the right shoulder,
crossing under the left arm, with the initials Of
their title, IN. NJ" imprinted on it at the cross.
They will also carry a hambeau, or other demon
~strative badge, on these occasions.
This organization has sprung into existence
within the last ten or fifteen days. Yet, We learn
from the Guardian, that they paraded some 300
strong a few evenings since, in Columbia. A
company has been formed in Sumter, and per.
haps other places in the State. That the move
ment will meet with a spirited response from al
quarters of our Carolina and the South, we have
every reason TO believe. We con speak for the
people of this State, that they are thoroughly
convinced that their only hope of security and
safety, now lies in the strength of their own right
arm. Every gale that comes to US from the
North, is laden with taunts and insults, while
every dark place within our borders is filling
with emmissaries and instruments for our subju.
CATION. The ely of salvation in the Union, is
too weak to be heard above the storm.
With q people so aroused, any concerted
movement for the general defense, like that of
the 'Minute men," must meet with q hearty
reception. The motto of the State-"animi,
opibusque parah"-is to be vindicated; and her
sons will yindicate it. She will be ready in cour-
