lioed there. The House you found plain but
honest and without ostentation; always quiet,
sometimes jammed. The quietness makes up
for the incompleteness of the entertainment.
Table-Rock? You were annoyed at the mar
~vellous economy that keeps those rickety rotten
stairs there. The Mountain House is kept by
the owner of the stairs-isn't it?
You returned to Greenville by the Jones-Gap

There are q great many summer-residents from

THE FATE OF GENERAL WALKER.

THE FATE OF GENERAL WALKER.
The English steamer, Escarus, judging from
its movements, came into American waters for
the sole purpose of overhauling Gen. Walker,
and causing his execution. In conformity with
such a design, after commanding him to leave
Truxillo, the commanding officer of that vessel
followed him up, attacked his party, took them
prisoners, and handed them over to the Honduran
government, on the expressed condition that Gen.
Walker and Col. Ruddler, of Alabama, should
be shot-the seventy p~rivates, owing to extern
sive sickness among them, being permitted to
return to the United States on oath that they
never again engage in a fllibusteriug expedition
against Central America. These measures have
been carried out and Walker and Ruddler have
been shot! Such is the end of the career of the
'sgray-eyed man Of destiny"
We might here moralize at length upon the
vanity of earthly power and ambition; but, as
that strain is exhausted, re prefer to moralize
upon the envy and jealousy of rivals a little
England is DESTROYS of checking the growth Of
the United States to the Southwark so is the
great body of the American ~people-strange as
it may appear: hence the former interferes, and
the latter connives at the Interference, with
Walkers expedition. When we reflect that Wal.
ker was a naturalized citizen of Central Ameri-
ca; was actually President five years ago, but
was expelled and that he was feeling his way
back to his adopted country, the high.hauded
act of the English vessel in demanding Hondu.
ras to shoot him-and thus virtually executing
him herself-deserves some notice. Whether
he was a citizen Of the United States or of Gen.
trail America. why should England busy herself
to enter Honduran territory to do the work of
the Honduran government? Was Walker inva-
ding English rights, or was he upon the high
seas violating the laws Of internationally? No
We cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that
land, as well as the Nothern States of this con-
federacy, are jealous lest the star Of A~nglo-Sax-
on liberty and African slavery should "South-
ward take its way" Although the vast regions
of Mexico and Central America, peopled by the
commingled blood of the Indian, Spaniard and
Negro, have proven as eruptive as their W
Popocatapetl and Water Volcano; yet, because
the civilized world is arrayed in arms against the
institutions of the South, the Federal Govern
ment tamely suffers England to come here, and
administer the affairs of Honduras, when such
action has a bearing against us. Next. we shall
have the "Holy Powers" as busy about affairs in
the Central American States, as they are about
the "balance of power" in Italy. Whip them
back, we say, whenever they get west of Cuba

If this matter comes before the
Legislature-as in all probability it will-thst
body cannot take q neutral position; its action
will be q rallying point either for the cold-Water
army, or for the hosts of King Alcohol. Indeed,
if South Carolina could take an entirely neutral
position, shall it be said of her that she looked
on unmoved and callous as marble, while her
citizens were grooming beneath the iron heel Of
this monstrous social curse! Fobid it, patriot
ism !; forbid it, heaven!
Our Legislature should, therefore, plainly, un'
equivocalIy and practically, in some way or other,
from upon this demoralizing, corrupting and d'.
integrating uice. With State influence, social in.
difference, mercantile c%upidity, and personal
qualification all against it, the Temperance Re-
form has had an uphill struggle of it, to accom-
plish what it has done. Now that its banner is
in triumph over more than a hundred
Divisions and three thousand Sons, let the State
come forward and attest her satisfaction at these
benign results, by lending a helping hand to
keep the ball in motion.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE,


From all quarters the people should send up
their best talent and most devoted patriotism to
them in the next Legislature. The
business before that body will be immensely
weighty and important next winter. If we are
to judge from the queries which have been pro-
pounded to the candidates for that exalted trust
elected will go to the Capital to serve the people,
and not squander their time and money in emp
ty debate and emptier resolutions; if We may
hope that patriotism and business-like states
mauship will take the place of brawling dema
gogaeism and office seeking-then, graver mat.
tiers never came beforea peoples counsellors thar
will, perhaps, have to be met and g~rappled with,
dellberated upon and moulded into enactments,
at the coming session.
The first great question that stares US in the
face is, what must be done in the event of Lin
coins election? But this is not the only sub
iect of substantial Importance, agitating the
minds of our people more or less at this time
The arming of the militia of the State, the re-
modelling ofthe military system, the adjustment
of the Usury laws and of free-negroism, State
aid to foster Direct Trade between Charleston
and Europe, further appropriations to the New
State House and the Blue Ridge Railroad, the
establishment of a Penitentiary and legislation
on the subject of intemperauce: these are some
IF the subjects that will probably come up for
elaboration in the next Legislature.
1t is not our purpose here and now to discuss
these grave matters; we cannot conclude, how
ever, without saying a word for the cause of

THE PALMETTO REGIMENT.

Every true. hearted South Carolinan loves to
reflect honor on this noble Regiment because it
has shed such %undying lustre upon the name of
his native State. "Their deeds, their worthy
deeds alone, have rendered them immortal
Every thing, then, that sketches their career
through the war with Mexico, possesses interest.
The Son Of Temperance, published at BENEFITS
vile, S.. c., is now publishing a series of sketch
es on this subject, understood to be written by
the editor, H. Judge Moore, Esq. They are to
be published in book form after their completion
in the %Son-which says:
Several of the surviving members of the Pal.
metto Regiment have forwarded us their names
since the commencement Of our sketches. 1t is
desired that every member of that Inflated Reg
iment. in whatever part of the Union, or the
world he may be, should have a copy of our pa
per during the publication of our Sketches
And they shall have it if they will only send US
their names and address and if any should not
he able to pay for it, they shall have it gratis
We claim for our sketches the utmost reliability
in their Liost important facts and features, and
we wish those who were eye. witnesses, and par.
t~icipated in the campaign, to read and judge for
themselves. We may touch some points that
may never have seen the light before, and which
may be considered important to the truth of his
tory. Men and Measures-matters and things,
will all be sketched, as far as possible, with the
impartial pen Of historic truth.

A Southern Poet. 2
Henry Lynden Flash, of Mobile, has just mad
his book.debut in q handsome volume Of tPo'
ems"
The critics, like doctors sometimes, disagree
The New York Saturday Press thinks Mr.
Flash belongs to the excessively variable schoo
Of poets--spasmodic and extravagant-y yet hav
ing some merits. The Press is Wholesale in it,
dispraise; thus-"The principal defect Of the
volume, and one that makes it totally worthless
to the literary world, is that, like many others
of the clsss, il pretends to be poetry and unfor'
tunately isn't"
The Press is entitled to it's opinion.
The Home Journal, of New York, finds hope
for the rising poet in this volume-fnds genuine
poetry herein-commends discriminatory ano
reviews with the genial spirit Of true poetic ap-
probation.
We like that spirit.
OF the several poems specially noticed by the
Home Journal is "What She Brought Me-" I!
says:-"This poem is, in our judgment whether
considered with reference to its lofty informing
seutiment-the essential disintersstsdness of tru.
love-or The mode of its artistic evolution and
finish, one of the most sweetly graceful and e1-
quisitely pathetic contributions which have been
made to American literature"
Observe the phrase" Which hare been made
to american literature"
The Home Journal is right.
Here is the poem entire. Read it for your
selves. We give it as a specimen of true South
ern poetry:
WHAT She BROUGHT ME.
"This faded flower that you see,
Was given me a year ago,
By one whose little, dainty hand,
Is whittier than the snow.
Her eyes are blue as v~iolets,
And she's a blonde, and very fair,
And sunset tints are not az bright
AS is her golden hair.
And there are roses in her cheeks
That come and 90 like living things;
Her voice is softer than the brooks
That flows from hidden springs.
She gave it me with downcast eyes,
And rosy Pushes of the check,
That told of tender thoughts, her tongue
Had never learned to speak.
The fitting words had just been said,
And she was mine as long as life;
I gently laid the flower aside,
And kissed my blushing wife.
She took it up with earnest look,
And said, 'Oh, prize the fower'-
And tender tears were in her eyes
II is my only dowsr.'
She brought ne Faith, and Hope, and Truth,
She brought me gentle thoughts, and love-
A soul az nura as those that float

CAUTION TO BoYs-Those who drive
COWS with full-bags should never make
them run, says the Massachusetts PlOac-
nun. This we all know, but it is well to
repeat even what the cow-driver may
know perfectly well, as it will frcshen his
feelings of kindness toward these useful
domestic animals If the cattle are lazy
and it is necessary to use force to make
them walk smartly, pliable stick should
be employed, or black snake whip"
When boy, we were very fond of whip
of this kind, and used to save the skins of
all the eels caught and dry them for
lashes. 1t makes loud crack, is good
company, and much feared by the cattle,
which take good care not to lag behind,
Never throw at cattle stones or pieces of
wood, and never cause them to run, boys.

SOUR MILK FOR CALvEs.-A writer
in the New-England Farmer, says that
d. NJ. Crowell, of Massachusetts, took ten
heifer- calves last Spring, and commenced
feeding them on sour nilk at few days
old, keeping them on the same kind of
food during the Summer, taking good care
to feed them uniformly, but not abun-
dainty, 50 as to keep them growing thrift
ly, without forcing too RAPIDLY. In the
Fall they were put in stables and fed on
hay and little meal, increasing the
quantity of the latter gradually, with a
view OF fitting them for beet in the Spring,
at one year old or little under. These
ten calves now look like young oxen, and
are estimated to weigh five huudred pounds
each, alive
