B@We have interesting news from
Kentucky. Her leading men have been
infatuated with the heresy of ''neutral-
ity" Some of her nobler sons had nearly
shamed her out of her dishonorable po-
sition. And when they failed, the
proclamation of Gen. Fremont came in
to perfect the work. The Southe rn
armies took possession of Columbus and
other towns, while the Union troops oc-
cupied Paducah. With the proclama-
ton of Fremont before them, the Legis-
lature passed joint resolution requir-
ing the Governor to order the Secession
troops out of the State The Governor,
being Secessionist, vetoed the resolu-
ton, and refused to make the order un-
less the U. S, troops were ordered out
at the same time. The Legislature
passed the resolution over his veto, and
at the last dates, were about to enforce
it by calling out the power of the State,
and asking the aid of the Government
to assist them
At this stage of the case, the unfortu-
nate order from Washington was issued,
modifying 'Fremont's proclamation
This step, which has taken the country
by surprise, has encouraged the open
Secessionists everywhere, and has
strengthened and given new life to the
"neutrality" humbug. Whether it will
be sufficient to check the rising patriot
ism of Kentucky, remains yet to be seen.
We hope for the best, and trust that
the effects Of the order may not prove
as disastrous as feared, and the State
still be saved to the Union without des-
olating her fair fields and drenching
them in the blood of her sons.

GIVE US OUR DuE.-Whilo VIC do not
claim that Edgefcld is the Banner Dis
trict in volunteering for the defence OF
the State, we are yet disposed to ask Ger
tain papers to (p7ease) not ignore us in
this business. The district having been
honorcd in the choice of Governor, is
one reason why it is thought desirable
over here that the truth Of Edgefeld's
action should not be overlooked May
we not then ask our brethren of the press
to notice what follows:
Edgefeld has three full companies in
Colonel Gregg's regiment.
Fdgefeld has six more full companies
raised by volunteering from her battal-
ions under the Military bill.
Edgcfeld has one Rife Corps ready
under said Bill.
Edgefeld has one Corps of Cavalry ac-
cepted by the State.
And Edgefcld has three other volun-
teer Cavalry Corps and several compa
nies of infantry ready and olficered fol
the service.
This makes about eight hundred anc
fifty men already received when wanted
If this be q little ahead of the foremost
we can't helpit.-Edggfeld Advertiser.

Where skies are soft and balmy.

Yon orchard hides behind its bough

And household angels round him.;

and noble State ofSouth Carolina, through

Virginia. The following is an extract
from letter to the editors, of distin-
gaished citizen of South Carolina:
In no part of the South is Virginia
moro honored, more looked to in the pre-
sent emergency, than in South Carolina,
and that is evidenced in the present case
by the unanimous burst Of appreciation
while halls the appointment Of one Of the
very first among her sons as Commission
er to Virginia. A native of Virginia, the
most eloquent orator Of the South, and a
man in whose hands the honor of South
Carolina and the South could be trusted

strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly

States" have been the only sufferers-that the
Union of these States is no longer policy founded

lord Palmerston on Secession.


In the course of a speech, delivered at
Southampton, Lord Palmerston referred
10 the difficulties between the Northern
and Southern sections of the United
Stats. and expresscda a fear that the Union
would b. dissolved. His Lordship added
hope that whether the Union were CHS
solved or maintained, amicabie relations
would be established; and that there
would be no war between brothers. From
the curtness Of the tclcgraphic phraseolo-
gy. it is not possible to say whether Lord
Palmerston intended to refer to the rela-
tons of England with the American Con-
federations, or only to the relations be-
tween the two Confederacics into which
the United States are rapidly forming
themselves. Be this as it may, the intcn-
ton Of England to acknowledge the indie
pendence of the Southern Confcderacy as
soon as it is formed, no longer admits OF
question. This announcement we are in
position to make in the most positive
terms and whoever will take the trouble
to watch the course Of evnnts, will find
that we are correct. The policy of Eng
land has long been to acknowledge all de
tacto Governments, and that policy will
not be departed from in the present case.
From France similar procedure may
safely be expected; and rs soon as the
Southern Confederation has formed q
Provisional Government, it will be treated
by the two leuding powers of Europe as
entitled to all the privileges Of a sovereign
State. The greatest inconvenience would
arise from the adoption of any other poll
cy England having no other control
over the domestic politics of other ma
tions, can acknowledge whatever form Of
government they choose to set mp 10
refuse to do so, would involve her1n end
less wars and ruirous compefclal emoar-
rassments.
Ifthe opinions ofAn English statesman
are. in this inst2nce, destined to produce
an iniuencc,sfcr the destnics of the Uni
ted STATES, their tendency will be to pre-
ven.cfvil war between the two sections
LA war between brothers, such as Lord
Palmerston here deprecatcs, is the bitter
est of all wars-it would SOW the seeds Of
animosity, which would bear bitter fruit
for generations to cor,e. The wise and
statesmanlille policy was first to attempt
reconciliation; but if all efforts in this
direction are to be held to fail, coercion or
civil war ought not to be thought of. The
North is numerically stronger, and per-
haps wealthier than the South and there
is little reason to doubt that it could make
a conquest of the seeding section. But
that it. could not hold the Southern
as conquered States, is just as certain.
Secession may not be q constitutional
right; but, practically if nearly half the
States of the Union insist upon it, there
arc. no means of preventing its consum-
nation.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIzEN-It is
with heartfelt pain that we record the
death of George W. Landrum, Esq, one
of our most useful and most priced citi-
zens. The melancholy event occurred
suddenly on Saturday last, and presents
another solemn and deeply impressive il
lustration of the truth, that in the midst
OF life we are in death"
Mr.. Landrum was in full practise at the
Edgefeld Bar, and possessed qualities of
head and heart which gave him high posi-
ton. He had troops of friends warmly
attached to him as a lawyer and asa man.
He was Christian gentleman, which is
the highest of all praise, and, as such,
commanded the respect and admiration of
all who met him.
Mr. Landrum was a great favorite with
the people of Edgefeld District. He had
represented them in the Legislature OF
the State, and, but for his retiring disposi-
ton, might have been prominent in politi-
cal life. He was also a man of letters,
and had been urged to accept seat in
the Faculty of the Furman University
Our whole community deplores his la
mented death and their warmest SYM
pathies flow out towards his bereaved and
inconsolable family. May the good God
of Mercy and Love be with them, to com
fort and soothe, in this their dark hour ot
af1iction !-Edqsfeld Aduertiser.

Response of South Carolina to the Virginia
Legislature.


The following resolutions were passed by the
Legislature of this State in response to the prcpo-
sition made by Virginia, through her Legislature,
to hold Convention ct Washington. Mark the
firm, dgnifed and respectful tone of these resolu-
tions-they speak truly The sentiment of our peo-
pie, and leave no hope to those who favor the mis-
cradle, degrading policy Of reconstruction;
Resolued, unanimously, That the Gener-
al Assembly of South Carolina tenders to
the Legislature of Virginia their acknowl-
edgments of the friendly motives which
have inspired the mission entrusted(fo
the Hon. Judge Robertson, her commls-
sioner.
which is due to the ledg continued SYM
natly and respect which has subsisted
between Virginia and South Carolina in
duces the General Assembly to declare,
with frankness, that they do not deem it
advisable to initiate negotiations when
they have no desire OF intention to pro-
mote the ultimate object in view; that
object is declared in the resolution of the
Legislature of Virginia to be the procure
ment of amendments, OF new guarantees,
to the Constitution of the United States.
Resolued, unanimously, That the separa-
ton of the State of South Carolina from
the Federal Union is final, and she has no
further interest in the Constitution of the
United States, and that the only appro-
pirate negotiations between her and the
Federal Government are as to their mu-
tual relations as foreign States.
Resolued, unanimously, That this Gen
eral Assembly further owes it to her
friendly relations with the State of Vir-
ginia, to declare that they have no conf
dence in the Federal Government Of the
United States; that the most solemn
pledges of that Government have been
disregarded; that under pretence of pre-
serving property, hostile troops have
been attempted 80 be introduced into one
of the fortresses Of this State, concealed
in the hold of a vessel of commerce, with
view to subjugate the people of this
State; and that even since the authori-
ties at Washington have been informed of
the present mediation Of Virginia, YES
sci of war has been sent to the South with
troops, and munitions of war concentra-
ted on the soil of Virginia.
Resolved, unanimously, That in these
circumstances, this General Assembly,
with renewed assurances of their cordial
respect and esteem for the people of Vir-
ginia, and of high consideration for the
Commissioner whom they have sent, de-
cline entering into the proposed negotia-
tions.

A FINAL sDIssoLur1oN.-lf anything
were necessary to dissipate the delusion
that the Union is finally dissolved, the
dispassionate, dignifed and decided reply
of South Carolina to the Virginia propo-
sition must settle all dispute. Indeed, we
cannot imagine how any one could sup
pose South Carolina, or any Of the other
of the Gulf States, are engaged in such
child's play and disqualification as going
out of the Union and coming back, like
willful boys leaving homo in pet, and
returning as. soon as the transient i'll hu-
NOR has subsidized After such grave and
deliberate measures as they have taken,
they have probably no disposition to be-
come the laughing-stock of the whole
world.-Richmond Dispatch.

GOVERNOR MOORE TO THE PRESIDENT
Gov. Moore, of Louisiana, has written to
President Buchanan, announcing that his
forces have captured the federal forts in
Louisiana. His motive for the capture,
he says, was to avoid, not provoke hostil-
tiles, as he was aware that the forts were
soon to be reinforced, and if they were
allowed, collision would be inevitable.
The forts, he says, will be held by his or
der, subject to the control Of the State
Convention. He has had a complete in
ventory made of the forts and all the
federal property.
