Several abolitionists in this place, have
been in the habit recently, of charging this
paper with endorsing and approving the
course pursued by South Caroiiua since the
election of Lincoln. They, Of course knew
that in doing SO. they were giving currency
to a malicious falsehood, bat they cared but
little about that. provided they could succeed
in injuring Us. We endorsed. weeks ago. in
unqualified terms, the portion of President
Buchanan's annual message. In which he laid
down the doctrine, that State docs not pos
sess the Constitutional right to seeede from the
Urion whenever she sees proper to DO SO, aud
we have never maintained that South Carolina
was right in passing the Secession ordinance.
We believe, it is true, that the South has
been previously wronged by the North, bu:
we do not believe the Southern people are left
without any means for redressing those wrongs,
save that Of Withdrawing from the Federal
Union We have from the first been ir favor

tuition, and insisting On the repeal OF the per-
sonal liberty bills, or, rather, nullifyine laws.
IN the Northern States. We believe that it is
the duty Of the President to see that the Uni
ted States laws are enforced and executed in
every State of the confederacy, and we are
proud to know that Mr.. Buchanan Is deter
mined that this shall be done during his ad-
ministration. Furthermore, we believe that

Carolina would net have adopted the Seces-
sion ordinance. and we would now be united
prosperous, and happy nation. 1t is true hal
while abolition fanatics were talking about
coercion, we advised concilation and compro,
mise. We respect conservative Republican:
who honestly bslieve tha. the principles oi
their party are right. bat we despise the ia.
na;ics who are constantly talking about wal
and extermtnatiou, and who seem anx ious tc
see the commencement of civil strife For
our part, We regard the Southern people a:
our brethren, and are unwilling to see the
tragedy of Cain and Abel-brother murder
ing brother-reenacted on grand scale.
We have been anxious from the first, thai
every thing should be done that could be done,
to avert SO dire calamity from our country
We have heard, more than once, men talking
about volunteering to march South, who, il
compelled to face the music on the battle

They are too ignorant to properly estimate
the value of the Union, and too cowardly tc
defend it. if ever it should become necessary
TO do so.

Horrible Murder er-On Monday last Luci
us L. Woodruff, planter, living about FIVE
miles from Weldon. \ c., was seized BY i've
of his slaves, taken into an adjoining wood,
and his head chopped off with an axe. The
body was discovered on Friday, and the ne
groes were arrested According to their con-
fession, the murder was perpetrate3 because
their master refused TO allow gangs Of negroes
from other plantations to visit his farm during
Christmas He was seized at his dwelling
and notwithstanding his entreaties, was taken
to the woods aud inhumanly butchered.-
Great excitement prevailed at Weldon on
Saturday, and it was thought the murderers
would be summarily executed.

it may with equal truth be said of this article
that it smells of dyspepsia, for it is too lima
tured and yindictive, TO have been written BY

body" 1t seems the N0untaineer folks don't
approve of the course pursued by Mr. Moor
mick in the political campaign last fall, and
hence this attack. 1t don't meet with our un-
qualified approval either, but in these reuolas-
ttOnaTy times, it is perhaps not meet '.tha.
every nice offence should bear its comment -
At all events, it is not right that man should
be injured in the profession on which he relies
for a support for himself and family, merely
because his course during an exciting politi-
cal campaign, was not IN accordance with the
instructions Of the self constituted guardians
of the democracy of Cambria Mr.. Moor
mick is a professional teacher, and has fer
years devoted all his abilities. time and ener-
gy to forwarding the cause Of education in
this county And yet from the article in the
Roantaineer, one would suppose that he is a
''drOBe," scarcely qualified for teaching q
child the alphabet correctly. We know but
little as to the manner in which Mr. Moor

Hon. K. NJ. I. HUNTER OF VIRGINIA.-No one APP
preciates more highly than We do the valuable SER
vices OF this distinguished Virginian in the impor
tant office of Secretary of State to which he has
been called by President Davis. Nor do we pro-
pose to dictate to the people of Virginia what they
should do in the selection of their representatives
But the whole country has interes: in the sue
cess OF the First Congress to meet under our perma
nent constitution and we doubt not that others
have heen painfully impressed, we have, with the
fear that there will be absent from the halls of Con-
gress that experience in the legislative department
which is so essential to the successful operations of
anew Government In noticing the names of the
distinguished men who have been brought forward
for Congress- we have been struck with the fact that
they are, almost all Of them, new and inexperienced
mcn-few of any OF those who have borne a prom-
nent part in the national councils are to be found
among the members. 1t is this circumstance which
leads US to bring before the public the name of Mr.
Hunter. He has been for many years the leading
business man of the Senate of the United States
Combining with the highest order of craftsmanship
perfect familiarity with all the details of public af
fairs, he had made himself necessity in the old
Senate We know Of no man who will be SO much
missed fror, the old Senate and we know of no one
whose presence would be so desirable in the new
Senate 1t is not purpose to speak in detail of
Mr.. Hunter as a Senator and public man Our
object ssimply to call the attention Of our friends
in Virginia to the facts that We have stated and to
give it as calm and deliberate opinion that Vir-
GINA owes it to the Confederate States to give them
the benefit of Mr. Hunters services in the 1rst Sen.
ate to assemble under our permanent Constitution.
We will make no apology for :hns intruding our
opinions upon our brethren Of another State Every
must see that nothing but the public good would
have dictated this article and that certainly is our
ample justification (Ga.) South. Banner.
