Constitution OF the Minute Men, for
the Defence of Southern Rights.

-.--- COLUMBIA, 5. c., Oct. Z, 1860.
DEAR SIR:-A number of citizens of Rich
land District, S. c., believing that the cleo
ton of "a Black Republican President will be
virtual subverson of the Constitution of
the United States, and being fully satisfied
that submission to such a result must end in
The destruction OF our property and the ruin
of our land, have organ I'd themselves into
an association siyled MINUTE MEN,
The Undersigned have been appointed
Committee TO submit the purpose and plan
of said organization to your consideration,
and TO invite your aid in the formation of
similar one in your section. We forbear to
dwell on the sOrongs which have been heaped
upon us, or depict the dangers which hang
over us. He who does not feel our wrongs.
and cannot see our danger, is too craven in
spirit and too dull of perception to be moved
10y any appeal which we might make Freed
from the counses of timid and tirne-serving
leaders we believe that the Southern pulse
still beats true to Southern honor aud South
ern rights; we therefore content ourselves
with simply submitting our Constitution.
which we trust satisfactorily explains our
purpose and plan of operation.
If you approve OF the organization, no
time should be lost in putting it into opera
ton in your section. AS soon as you have
organized, address Gen. james Jones, Column
bia, S. c., who is the Captain of the Parent
Club. Ii the movement succeeds, more eX-
tended Organization must be provided for
This must be the work of the various afili-
ated Clubs, and it is our desire that in due
time delegates from the various Clubs shall
meet at such rime and place as may be deem
ed advisable, to pei feet the work of our DE
liverance and Liberty 4
With high regard, we have the honor to be
your obedient servants,

What VIII Georgia Doc

A letter from Milledgeville, (Ga.,) dated
the 9Th inst, to the Augusta D,spatch, (Breck-
inridge,) says
The reports of large and enthusiastic meet
ings in Savannah, Augusta, Macon and At
lanta, have inspired fresh hopes that the hour
has come when Georgia tciu resist sectional
domination. My fears are still that the peo-
pie will disappoint these expectations. and
that we shall sink into quiet submission
again, after giving the North another evil
dence of our eXcilability and forbearance.
But 1t is too soon to assume what the future
has in store. A revolution may be precipi-
taied, and then the people Will rally to a
common cause. a State Convention is the
only legitimate way to get at the question
peaceably y, and there are objections to such a
movement. 1t will be sure to submit and
confirm The North in their boasts, that we
cannot be kicked out of the Union, and dis
courage the spirit of resistance which is now
ready to adopt some remedy. On this ac-
count, many are of the opinion that the best
course to pursue is make no formal demon
stratlon. but TO pass retaliatOry legislation,
taxing Northern products, and denying the
use of cur courts to the collection of North
ern claims; such bill was introduced into
the Senate to-day This will show calm
determination to fight the devil with fire, :"
aud will transfer the revolution to the manu-
featuring cities of the North, where panic,
starvation aud ruin would Immediately en-
sue. This is a par; of the policy of Governor
Brown, aud few men know the people better
than that gentleman.
But no definite idea can be given OF the
shape which the present excited state Of the
popular mind will assume.

For the Patriot

Mr.. EDIToR These are ominous times.
The sky is blackening. The tempest is gath
ering, in the South. Ali is at stake,-our
country, our institutions, our property. our
peace, prosperity. and happiness Shall we
| remain silent and p1nic-stricken? Shall we
rush in to swell the tempest { 1t is as clear
as MONDAY, if this Union is dissolved, ALL is
lost If. in its full growth and maturity this
Government has not sufficient strength for
Its preservation, if IFS own citizens who have
been nurtured by its fostering care, and have
gone forward with triumphant steps in the
path of prosperity and joy, shall now pull
down the fabric which has afforded them pro-
lection, and to which they have hitherto
looked as the pride and glory of the world,
where, where, l ask, shall we find a stable
government? Upon what fragment of the
broken mass can we hope to rest the soles of
our feet with any assurance of permanent
security. II is delusion, it is madness to
heed the voice OF those who cry all will be
we'll. The stern truth must strike every
rejecting mind that, if we blindly aud petu-
lently destroy the good we have, alt .gu be III.
We know that it must be so-it cannot be
otherwise It, therefore. becomes us all to
unite with one mind and turn back the ruin
which is impending. Let US not allow our
selves for one moment 10 be turned from the
true path by the promptings of passion Let
us dismiss local prejudiees and sympathies,
if it be like cutting off the right hand, or
plucking out the right eye, and stand by cur
common country in this day of her trial.
We should discourage that impatient and
restless spirit which is but too ready to fan
the fame so suddenly kindled in South Caro-
lima. If we love our country. if we love our
State, if we love our own dear friends at
home, and have their highest good at heart
we must not allow our sympathies TO go out
10 aid of those who, whether they know it or
not, are preparing to destroy all.
With these views, Mr.. Editor, l as one
who feels the value of our common country,
and loves sincerely the noble State of Ten
nessee, and yearns only for the lasting veal
of both, would earnestly urge our good citi-
zens to take the initiative and speak out at
once in this important crisis. To not stand
back until Others haze forestaLied action and turned
the scale in favor of dissolution anarchy and na-
tional death. w.

Gen. Pillows Proposition.

The attention Of the reader is directed to
to the communication of Gen. G. j. PILLOW
in this impression of the PATRIOT. We hear
thy agree with Gen. z. that the emergens V
in which we find ourselves is of such char
acter as to call forth the active cooperation
of all true patriots, regardless of past party
ties and prejudices. That he is actuated by
pure and exalted motives, looking solely to
the preservation of the Union. we have no
doubt His manly declaration that no just
cause yet exists for the immediate overthrow
OF the government, in opposition TO the
opinions of many Of those in the South with
whom he has heretofore acted pei ally, in
our estimation, shows that he hasr N above
party, and is honestly urging course
which he sincerely believes best Iculated
to preserve the Republic form dis ion and
war. Outside of the communicate we feel
assured of this fact
To the remedies which he proposes we in
woke the serious and unbiased consideration
of our readers. l: is the first proposition
which has been made to the people of Ten
nessee contemplating full adjustment of
the difficulties pending between the two
great sections OF the Union. As such we
publish 1t with pleasure heightened by the
conviction on our minds that something must
be done by the friends of the Union every
where for its preservation, or it is gone. We
frankly confess that the perplexity and gloom
which Overhang the subject are such as defy
our ability to solve or clear away Each dav
brings Us fresh tidingS of extreme and int-rn-
perate feeling on the part of our friends Of
the South Elch day but serves to confirm
US in the belief that our Union is in the
greatest peril. In this crisis-for we now
feel justified in using that term in its true
and largest senss-we hail every suggestion
Of the genuine patriot and true friend of The
Union as something in favor of the country.
If the proposition of Gen. PILLOW does no,
meet the appreciation Of all, it may be the
means OF leading tC something that will. II
Is, at least. basis of thought aud ref elton,
and as such we commend il to the attention
ami scrutiny of the people of Tennessee.

A Good Man Has Fallen.


Our commEnity was shocked yesterday by
the unexpected announcement of the death OF
Rev. JOIN 7. EDGAR, the revered Pastor OF
the First Presbyterian Church. He preached
Monday night, and on reaching home after
the close of his ministrations, complained OF
illness and retired carly. About midnight.
he was so seriously affected physician was
called, who, when he arrived, found him IN
conscious. He had sunk down under hT
of apOplexy, and human aid could render
him no service He died at O'Clock, A N :,
yesterday For some years past, the health
of DR.. EDGAR had been failing; and last year
he took short respite from his lab0rs, with
q view 10 recruiting his strength He re-
turned home somewhat Refrigerated; but
soon found that his condition had not perma-
neutly improved. Nevertheless, he continued
to labor assiduOusly in the cause of Him to
whom be had dedicated himself, and fell,
like faithful christian, at his post.
DR.. EDGAR was. we believe, native OF
Woodiord county, Kentucky; and was in bis
seth year. He was called in the month OF
June. 1888, to take charge of the Church in
whose service he died, and on the 4th Of Au-
gust ensuing entered upon his duties. From
that day to the hour of his death, he main
tanned his position in the Church. His la
bors during this long period were eminently
. successful They were blest of Heaven and
yielded rich returns. No Pastor was ever
more beloved by his congregation. He had
their entire confidence and affection The
simplicity and purity of his character, and
his unfal:ering christian faith, won insrnsi-
bly, even upon those outside of the pale OF th
Church. and we doubt whether there is one
person in this comm unity who did not respect
and venerate him.
AS divine, Dr. EDGAR enjoyed Wild
spread and well-deserved reputation His
mental gifts were of a high order, aud had
been thoroughly cultivated and dscipliu d.
He was a graceful, persuasive and elrgan
sp aker; ard always threw around his sub
jet The charm of sincerity and truthtulne>s-
He would succeed wher, men of greater pre-
tensions and more shining qualities ftiied.
The death of such a man is bereavement
which The community not less than the
d Church feels. and mOurns- His place, VIII
shall ill? Though be is gone, his memory
will live-the example of his long and
full life, adorned with all the graces of chris
tiani!y, will remain to instruct and bless. In
this reflection, there is sweet consolation. es-
pecially to those who have enjoyed his socie-
ty, loved him, and received his blessing.
DIR. EDGAR leaves widow and four chill |
dren, who have the sympathies of the public |
In their affection.
We understand that the funeral of Dr. |
EDGAR will take place tomorrow. Divine |
