Improbable.
With two or three, however, of morerecent date

still beg leave to poster our indulgent readers.
Yes, we are glad to be once more among our

as it was lately, with its truly Internal heat and
crewd, its exhausting political discussions and
harrangues, its 4th July fireworks, its national
banners and national airs, and its womens' legs
clad in pink stockinet, was truly not pleasant
place. By no means so pleasant as Edgefeld with
its loving hearts and cooling witermelbns!

The Lion of the Southern Delegations.
The lion of the Southern delegations In New
York, during the sitting Of the late Convention,
was undoubtedly Genl. Wade Hampton. We do not
mean tha: be was the lion among Southern people
alone, but among Northern, Eastern and Western
mense popularity of this man. AS regards our
own State, Mr.. Calhoun in his palmiest days new
er possessed the hearts Of the people so complete
ly. In Now York romantic interest seemed to
attach TO his very name. Strangers rushed and
pushed and scrouged to catch sight of him; and
the leading journals were garnished daily With
conspicuous paragraphs concerning him, and his
doings and sayings and antecedents. On Monaay,
second day of the Convention, after spirited
speech by Genl. Tom Ewing Of Ohio, who came
upon the floor with an address from the Soldiers
and Sailors Convention, call was made for
"Gcnl. Wade Hampton" This call wns immedi-
stely taken up by three thousand voice., and tho
welkn absolutely shrieked with the name OF
Hampton. But Hampton, despite the loudest,
longest and most persistent CALL refused to be Sc
duced into speech. This was the wisest course.
The Southern men had determined to keep silent
in the Convention, and most rigidly did they ad-
here to this determination. On two occasions,
however, after the adjournment, did Genl. Hamp-
ton address tho public; and each time with un-
bounded applause.
We advert to these facts as matters Of general
interest, for no where in the State, in higher de-
gree than IN Edsefold, is Gcnl. Hampton ad-
mired as noble and chivalrous soldier, and IN
honest, honorable and devoted son of tho soil.
