IRREpREssIBLE CONFLICT AMONG THE
ABo1Ir1oN1srs.-A rccontre occurred in
the National Hotel at Washington, Fri
day, between Mr.. Kellogg, of Illinois, and
Mr.. Medll, editor of the Chicago Tribune.
Mr. Kellogg declared in the House, few
days ago, that he had crushed out the
big Tribune of New York, and he would
do the same by the little Tribune of Chi
cago. The parties met in the hall of the
hotel and few words led blows. Mr..
Medal was foored by blow from Mr..
Kellogg; and pummelled until the by-stan-
ders drew the belligerents asunder. This
is the commencement of the" irrepresiblc
conflict" among the Republicans.

Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina. her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one Of the
hest mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as
Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements are certainly as
reasonable rs those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and firc-side
companion.
Tie political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy OF the
American States was formed has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation
States" have been the only suffererS-that the
Union of these States is no longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is ''thc cohesive power Of public
plumber THE proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate Of the Union at
any price.
TEENIS.-The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol-
lowing reasonable rates of subscription:
One copy, per year, s2oe
Three copies, 5Oo
Five copies, 800
Ten copies, 1900
Twenty copies, 25.OO
ns% The money upon these terms always to b
paid i'll advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearages
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrip-
ton price is received; unless at the option of the
proprictors, when the circumstances call for diff
ferent course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the sConservatist, Newberry, S. c." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be ad-
dressed to the editor of the Conservatist."

Mr.. PRESTON. OF South CAROLINA

MIR. PRESTON, OF Ooo1d OAholANA'
On all hands we hear the unqualified and
enthusiastic expression Of praise and ad-
n1iration of the great address of the Com
missioner of South Carolina to the Vir-
ginia Convention. 1t was worthy OF his
heroic and noble State, worthy a Preston,
worthy the blood of Patrick Henry,
worthy the great occasion. Patriotism,
passion, power, poetry, were all combin-
ed in this magnificent effort. At one
time the whole audience was in tears.
Some of these were men of iron, unused
to the melting mood, but the Prophet
had struck the Rock, and streams of SYM
pathy gushed forth. Greater even than
the potent sway of the orator was the
influence Of his sincerity, his manliness,
his purity and elevation of character
No politician, however gifted, no man
who had ever been at all in public life,
could have so captivated the confidence
and respect as we'll as the passions of an
audience. Can Virginia turn her back
upon this great, disinterested, unselfsh
soul, and be beguiled to her destruction by
the smooth scductions Of Vim. Fl. Sew
ard ?-Richmond Despatch.
GREAT DISTRESS OF THE SETTLERS IN
SOUTHWESTERN KANsAs-A despatch
from Atchison says that messenger
from Hunter County, Kansas, 200 miles
from there, arrived on the night of the
18th, imploring relief for the inhabitants.
The despatch says:
"snow has fallen to the depth of Is
inches on a level. The cold is intense,
and stock of all descriptions is dying off
with fearful rapidity!' Most of the inhab-
tants arc reduced to buffalo meat alone,
and not u team is able to make the journey
through the snow. The messenger walk
ed twenty-six miles before finding track
after leaving the settlement, and seventy
miles before reaching Emporia, where he
took stage and came on here. The
mails on the route had not been carried
through for three weeks. Owing to the
great depth of the snow and the intense
cold, horses and cattle are dying along
the route. Goods were abandoned in the
middle of the prairies. The teams had
died or given out, or the limbs of the
drivers had become frozen, and they had
to seek refuge at the nearest settlement
to save their lives. One man will lose
both of his legs, another both of his
hands.
."Thc Usage Indians had attacked a
party of the settlers, who were hunting
wolves for their skins. The Indians kill
ed two of the settlers. One they burned
and beheaded; the other they scalped."

POSITION OF KENTUCKY The follow
ing is the resolution against calling a
Convention in Kentucky, which has pass
ed both Houses of the Legislature of that
State:
Resolved, That as this General Assem-
bly, has made an application to Congress
to call National Convention to amend
the Constitution of the United States,
and requested the Legislatures of all the
other States to make similar applications,
and has appointed Commissioners to
meet those which have been appointed
by the State of Virginia, and such as may
be appointed by other States, at desigg-
mated time and place, to consider, and, if
practicable, agree upon some suitable adj
justment of the present unhappy contro-
versies, it is unnecessary and inexpedi-
ent for this Legislature TO take any fur
ther action on this subject at the present
time. AS an evidence of sincerity and
good faith of our propositions for an ad-
justment, and an expression of devotion
to the Union, and desire for its prcserva-
ton, Kentucky awaits with deep solici-
tude the response from her States.
A PArRIoT.-Ex-Secretary Thompson
concluded his speech at Oxford, Miss, as
follows:
"But my friends, Mississippi has ac-
ted. She has resumed all the powers
heretofore delegated to the United States.
She assumes now to be a sovereign indie
pendent State. She is now engaged with
other seeded States in forming new
Confedcracy. May God send her pros
pcriLy and happiness. But suppose an
effort should be made TO coerce Mississi-
ppi by force of arms to return to her for
mer position in the Union? Suppose
the question of African slavery should be
for the present. waived, and the question
should be raised Of making slaves of our
white men by the sword and bayonct
What then is to be your feeling and pur-
pose and mine? speak for myself, and
/ verify believe you will rc-ccho the sen-
timcnts: That sooner than Mississippi
should annul her late ordinance Of seces-
cession and return to her former position
in the old Union, at the mouth of the
cannon would prefer to see Mississippi,
with all her brave sons and fair dauSh-
ters, and her rich fields, stink to the bot
tom of the deep sea, and her name Blot
ted from the map of the earth forever"

THE SLAVE TRADE.-In his admirable
speech before the Virginia Convention,
on Monday, Mr.. Benning, the Commis-
sioner from Georgia, thorougly exploded
the invention that the South intends or
desires revival of the African slave
trade. He said that if such trade was
begun, it was impossible to say where it
would end, and that the cotton States
had no idea of being swamped by African
barbarians If Virginia was not satisfied
on this point, then, said Mr.. Benning, let
her send Commissioners to Montgomery
and obtain stipulations to that effect
from the new Confederacy.-Richmond

THE ARTICLES ADMITTED FREE OF DU-
rY-There seems to be considerable diff
ference of opinion as to the meaning Of
the second section of the Act of Congress
sent us by telegraph from Montgomery,
on Monday night. We republish the Sec
ton alluded to-:
Sec. 2. All goods, wares and merchan-
die imported from any one Of the late
United States of America, not being a
member of this Confederacy, into this
Confedcracy, before the 4th day Of March
next, which may have been bona .fde pur-
chased heretofore, or within ten days af.
ter the passage of this Act, shall be ex-
empt and free from duty.
This evidently means that all articles
imported from States not members of this
Confedcracy, into any part of the Confed-
eracy prior to the 4th Of March next,
such goods, wares or merchandise having
been bona fde purchased before the pas
sage of this Act, OF within ten days
thereafter, shall be admitted free of duty.
DEATH OF AN AGED PATR1oT.-Thevon-
cradle John Johnson, of Ohio, was found
dead in bis bed, in Washington city, Mon
day morning. He was one of the COM
panions of the immortal Dnniel Boone,
and whom the remains of that celebrated
pioneer were q few years ago removed
and consigned to their final resting place,
the Legislature Of kentucky sent for Mr..
johnson to act as one the pall-bearers
and follow him to his last grave. Mr..
Johnson was Sc years of age, and had
been regular subscriber to the National
Mtezhgencer for sixty years.

REMovAL OF THE Posr 0fFicE.--The Journal
appears to be in great tribulation about the re-
moval of the Post Office to the new building
about to be erected for it adjoining the Neil
House, which is to bo rebuilt. We are not at
presen! prepared to say whether the majority Of
our citizens will or will not be better accommo.
dated by the removal.
But the Journal WILL no doubt, be, as IL
frankly confesses, better accommodated with
the present location. Having just anchored It.
self hard by the Post Office, it is sore griev-
ance to havo it taken away 90 soon.
ln an article labeled Communicated, 1t
gravely reminds our worthy Postmaster that
the removal will be in bad faith to friends to
whose services he ia indebted for the position
he now holds. We do not know how this may
be; but without some further and better evi
dence than the assertion Of an anonymous
scribbler in the Journal, We have too much
confidence in Mr.. GRAHAM's integrity, to be-
Iieye he would violate any pledge, or be guilty
Of bad faith toward friend or foe.
