M. N B. Walker the Secretary Of May.
or Kelly, had an official interview with Lord
Lyons Ibis morning BY whom he was intro
duced to the Princes Suite.
Mr.. Walker repested the Invitation of
Mayor Kelly, in regard to the reception Of
the prince in Be!la,r, offering his Royal
Highness any private residence or hotel ac.
commodation he might desire.
In regard to this poin, the Duke said that
the Prince in observance OF usual etiquette
could not accept private hospitality bdt ad
ded that II any exception could be made ID
this rule il would be In Bellair and from
Mayor Kelly.
OF conrse he would be entertained by the
President at Washington and woul1 accept
any hospitality he might offer.
The Duke vas rather Of the opinion ,ha,
outside Of Washington they hat rather pay
their own way. They also decline a free
ride and a private car for the Prince aud
his Suite from the officers ol the Z. 0. r
4. TO to Columbus.
The Duke 50 ID he would consult further
with Mr.. Walker at Niagara.
The Prince thus fnr has accepted no pri.
vn,c Invitations and 10 determined TO sd.
here to the same rule until his arrival vi

Out Of Bsllair on his journey west, the
Prin will trave; incognite until he reache,

While in Bel!air he will willingly receive
any such demons rations as the people ma.
wish to make.
The Duke has therefore accepted in gen
ersl terms the entertainments offered b,
Mayor Kelly the programme being sabjsc
to such alterations ut tbs time as circum

Walker has perform d his mission, which hs

miles an hour. II tore up and smashed

before the electiou-and Monday morning to put
it in the coffee; then, while the men were gone
to the election, to burn the houses and kill the
women and children-reseruing the daughters for
wives finally, to meet the men on their return
from the election, and dispatch all who had not
fallen victims to the strychnine Meanwhile,
they were promised arms and ammunition, and
aid by white men and free negroes, to carry out
the plot. Several towns and quite a number Of
dwelling houses, mills, &c., have been burnt /;
and the loss Of property-apart from the negroes
who have been taken up and put to DEATHS es-
timated at 700, 900 dollars.
Numbers of white men have been implicated ::
some of whom have taken short cut to the next
world by the rope passage; others have been
banished the country whilst others still are IN
der the ~strictest surveillance. Vigilance COM
mittees prevail everywhere. The s%trictest vigi'
lance is kept over all strangers and suspicious
persons; and, I have no doubt, innocent persons
occasionally suffer, while hundreds Of scoundrels
have made their escape. I have no means Of de-
termining the number of executions ; but they
have been q goodly number, black and white
The plot leaked out beforeit was mature, or there
is no telling the amount Of mischief another
month would have brought to light. The time
is now over, the plan frustrated, the excitement
cooling down but VI do not feel secure yet, and

From the Charleston Mercury.

If Lincoln should be elected President OF the
United States land this seems a very probable
event) the next Legislature will have deVolved
upon it the highest responsibility under which
any General Assembly of this State has met
since the adoption of the present Constitution
The ~s.crisis' will then indeed be upon US.
What shall we do with it? This problem
cannot in my opinion, be satisfactorily solved
with the lights now before US.
The conviction is almost universal that some
thing should be done, yet very few, think, have
settled down, in their own minds, upon any
course of action, not subject to be modified or con
troUed by circumstances, which cannot now he .tore
seen:
The election of Lincoln is itself q contingency,
and the surroundings with which this untoward
event, if it does come, may be ushered in, are
still more uncertain. Much must depend on the
temper and spirit in which it shall be met oy
our sister States of the South and as yet we car
know nothing definite even as to Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi. 1t is now but a shor'
time until the fall elections, and the uncertain
ties of the future are not likely to be removed IL
the interval.
Under these circumstances it would, manifest
". be premature and unwise to raise issues be-
fore the people, upon the question of the remedy
To be pursued. Even the discussion OF these
points would, at present, be calculated 30 dis
tract and divide, by anticipation, without the
means of arriving OF a sound conclusion:
I can imagine circumstances under which the
promptest, boldest and most decisive actlon OF
our part would become the course OF wisdom anc
of prudence !; and 1 can, on the other hand, al
easily conceive that circumstances might require
of South Carolina as q course Of extreme eau
ton, Cancellation and forbearance. Toralse th'
question as to separate State action or co-opera
ton at this time would be particularly mischiev
GUS. All prefer concerted action, if we can &c
it, and would yield something of their own view

CITIZENS,

Pursuant to the call Of Beat Company, No. 2,
o meeting of citizens was held at Bethel Church,
on Wednesday of last week, for the purpose Of
taking prudential steps to secure the peace and
quiet Of that section of country. Maj. A. A.
Mckenzie was called to the Chair, and DR.. ]. B.
Hunter requested to act as Secretary.
The following persons were appointed as a
Central Committee: A. A. Mckenzie, Capt. H.
NJ. jackson, James McElwee, james Wallace
and NJ. H. Currence.
The Central Committee appointed the follow
ing persons to act as subcommittee in the

to obtain it while, on the other hand, there are
few who would not sanction independent seces-
sion, under some possible contingencies. How
far should South Carolina yield her " views
to obtain concerted action? What degree OF
forbearauce should be exercised for the sake OF
Cancellation? All these are questioned to be de-
termined when the emergency arises, and before.
We can scarce decide, at this time, whether the
election or the Inauguration Of Lincoln should be
the eignal for action.
What then, is the true course Of policy to be
pursued9
1 would earnestly recommend the following
suggestions:
First Until after the fall election, avoid even
the discussion of the modus operandi Of resistance.
Second Still more strdiously eschew any such
issue in the elections themselves. Third: Let
every man who himself realizes the Importance
Of the crisis, use his utmost efforts to make 9th.
ers think and feel as he does. And lastly: Let
earnest men in the State-let the Press, p~articu.
larly, everywhere-unite in urging upon the
people that they should demand the services, in
the next Legislature, OF their wisest and best
men-to be sent, in the true spirit OF represen.
tative government, uuinstructed and untrammel-
led, to stake care that the Republic receives no
detriment." Who, upon such an appeal, in such
a crisis, dare refuse? The position rises, on &C.
casious like this. to such dignity, that in the
language of Mr.. Lowndes, it should be s'neither
sought nor declined"
Every district in the State has its discreet and
reliable men. Good sense and integrity, thank
God, are not rare and we still have amongst us
some who ore men of approved wisdom and pa
triotism-men fit to consult on q nations destiny.
From these two classes should the 'next Legis.
~lature' be selected. Let US have the right sort
of men. "Principles not men" isa delusive cry,
and serves but to mislead. As John Randolph
pithily said, "principles without men, was like
Glove without women." "Principles and men"
is the true motto.
1t is not the man who processes most, who
answers questions most promptly, or who is most
plentiful in pledges, who is most to be trusted
in trying times. Look to his antecedents! Has
he shown, in bis past life, that he loved the
State, more than his own selfish interests? Has
he shown a sound judgment and q brave heart
If yea, and the general bearing Of his politics &C.
cords with public sentiment, it is enough. We
do not ask whether, ten years ago, he was Sc
cessionist, Co-operationist, Union man, Wing
or Democrat. Still less, upon this great South.
ern is7ue, whether, in the frivolous disputes,
confined to South Carolina, he was Convention
or Anti Convention. Was he honest then? Is
he honest now? And does be at this time, be.
llieve that submission to s~ectiona! Black Repub.
lican rule is disgrace and eventual ruin: These
should be the only test questions. A Legislature
thus composed, will speak the voice, not Of o
party-not O mere numerical majority-but,
really and truly, the voice of South Carolina.
