The IMMIGRATION MOVEMENTS IN
THE UP-CoUNTRy.--The Keowee
(Pickens) Courier contains the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
DR.. Faber, Professor OF Languages
in Furman University, was in our
place last week, making inquiry as to
our means of accommodating, with
temporary residences, col"ny of
emigrants from near Heidelberg, Ger
many, who have expressed, in COM
munication to him, their desire to
locate in this quarter. We are glad
to learn that the Doctor was most
agreeably impressed with the charac-
ter of our soil and climate, as also
with the temper and disposition of
our people.
Christopher Jones, Esq. good
man, q worthy citizen of this county,
has expressed a willingness to devote
several hundred acres of lard to Ger
man or other Industrious foreign emil
grants, on the condition of their per-
manently occupying and improving
them. Col. G. Hampton. of Colum-
bia, "a brother of the General and
q large land d-owner in this county, has,
we learn, expressed q like willingness,
and other of our spirited and wide
awake citizens will doubtless follow
the good example that has been set

Said Mr.. Calhoun, in speech de-
livered in the United States Senate
more than twenty-five years ago:
"Be assured that emancipation itself
would not satisfy these fanatics; that
gained, the next step will be to raise
the negroes to a social and pcl;tica!
equality with the whites; and that
being effected, we should soon find
the condition of the two races re-
versed. They and their Northern
allies would be the masters, and we
the slaves" But in those days Mr..
Calhoun was called fanatic"

plimentary names.

HOUSES BURNED. Two houses,
dwelling and kitchen-unoccupi J
belonging to Mr.. Andrew McElvy,
at McElvy's precinct, in this District,
were set on fire Saturday night, 10th
inst, and entirely destroyed. The
League had been meeting in one of
the houses for some time, and held a
meeting there in the afternoon pre-
ceding the night of the burning, and
the proprietor told them that was
the last meeting they would be al
lowed to hold on his premises. They
became indignant. The houses were
burned that night, and the plantation
fences of several citizens in the
vicinity were also set on fire at the
same time.-Spartanbwg Spartan.

A curious method of killing rats is

A curious method of killing rats is
recommended in a German journal
as very efficient. A piece of new or
unused sponge is out into small
pieces, which are smeared with but
ter, and placed within reach of the
rats, next to dish of w4ter. The
rats eat the sponge, and becoming
thirsty, drink the water, which swells
the sponge, and in short time kills
dead all around.

The Mercury and tho Democratic
Movement In South Carolina.

The Mercury and tho Democratic
Movement In South Carolina.
After several mild advances, the
Charleston Mercury has at last
couched its lance and run ut full tilt
against the Democratic movement
started in this State in April last We
deplore any division in South Carroll
ma at this time, when the union Of oil
good, wise and true men in the State
is 80 especially desirable. But we are
prepared, as one of the journals in
the State that have sustained the
principles set forth by the recent Con-
vention, to vindicate them when as
sailed, and calmly and dispassionate-
ly to show the reasons for the faith
that is in us.
Analyze the Mercurys editorial,
and it will be found that it contains
these points: First, repetition of it's
former charge, that, in our conserva-
tive position on the question of ne
gro suffrage, we fail to "back" our
friends at the North of the Demo
cratic party. Secondly, that the
sending of the late sub committee,
who visited Washington, to represent
the remonstrance paper, was neither
a sensible nor 'decent" thing on
the part of the State Central Executive
Committee; and, thirdly, that another
Convention of the State should be
called to consider the question of ne
gro suffrage, and to appoint new
delegates; and that the delegates elect
do not attend the New York Conven-
ton until further instructed.
1. With regard to the first propo.
sition, we have already, as we con-
ceive. conclusively answered the Mer-
curry on previous occasion, when it
made the same point. Now, it is
only necessary for US to add,
that additional information and OBJ
servation, and more mature refec-
tion, have served but to strengthen
our conviction, that we of the South
cannot more effectually aid tho Demo
cratic movement in the whole coun-
try, than by taking on the question of
negro suffrage just such position as
the late Convention took. It is true,
that if the Mercury takes its cue from
the La Crosse Democrat, "a paper, in
many respects, deserving, but over
zealous,) and the extremists of the
ID ,mocratic party North, it is natural
for it to arrive ut its conclusions.
But we are disposed to accept the
Journal Of Commerce and the New
York World, as better representatives
OF the great body of the Northern
Democracy than the La Crosse paper,
and the Hon. Mr.. Doolittle as rather
more to be depended upon than Mr..
?aiiandignam-we mean, rs men rep
heschtinB tne strength OF the North
ern Democrats. But, apart from
this, we call attention to the
fact, that the great point North, on
the part of the Northern Democracy,
is opposition to negro rule. Against
this, al their most forcible-all their
leading-argumen.s are directed.
The strong point against radicalism
is this, and not against entire negro
exclusion from political participation
in the Government. Hence our posi-
tion-that to the States belongs the
question of suffrage, and that, as for
ourselves, in view of the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case, we are willing,

The brief was read until hour of ad-
journment.
The SoIREE. soiree given by
the ladies of Trinity Oh urh. and pur-
ticipated in by the ladies of other
churches, may be regarded MS one of
the most successful events of the
season. Apart from that solid feast
of material things, which ''Lumb''
says fills one so full of good and
noble intentions, and makes us the
kindest and most appreciative crea-
lures in the world, Ia good supper,)
we have had, probably, one of the
finest exhibitions of musical talent
within the memory of that distin-
guished "antique" "dilettante," of
which time has any record. The fair
and youthful de6utante, Carolinas
gifted daughter of song, attracted no
inconsiderable share of attention.
Indeed, we seldom witnessed so much
enthusiasm ut strictly amateur per-
formance. The vivacity, spirit and
piqudnterie exhibited in her style, re-
fleets much credit to her taste and
culture-a youthful voice full of gems
and pure as pearls. In the duo "Pa-
rigi 0 Cara" with an accomplished
"tenor," she delicately revealed a
latent power within, and not until
the flowing pathos in "H Bacio" and
Arditi's II 'ESlasie," did we compre-
hend the sublimity and power of
that voice. From &c" to &C" in the
alt sostenuto, she accomplished with
wonderful accuracy and power. Bou-
quets fell thick and fast around her,
in token of high appreciation. CO.
rolina may be proud of such
daughter. nt
The entire company OF young
ladies and gentlemen amateurs de-
serve much praise for their mastery
performances. Maurice, the swell
ing baritone and tenor, was as at
tractive as ever. The beautiful trio,
"7e sol quest Animu," was quite up
to the standard of excellence in rich
harmony of parts-tenor, bass and
soprano. The youthful "Pnganini,"
prodigy in music, bows with his
masters spirit, and speeds from his
electric strings spark that kindled
unspeakable Joy in every heart. We
cannot sufficiently express in words
our satisfaction and real pleasure in
the Instrumentation for the two
evenings. The overture from "Semi-
ramide" was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The Grand Etude Galop" and
Listz's "La Regala" were rendered
by an accomplished hand. 'La Ga
zelle," an exquisite and classic com
position, was performed with the
skill of an d'fiste The "Witches'
Dance" Sounds from Home" and
the performance by the University
l1uhN, liaNC oSCuICu tuS highest
praise.
The whole appointment was gem
and n grand success, and reflects
much credit upon the ladies connect
ed with it. Rarely have we enjoyed
such treat-and we know we share
the feelings of the entire community
who were so fortunate to hear and
partake Of it. AMATEUR.

raj communications. from prominent
and influential gentlemen of the up
country, asking that he publish, for
the benefit of the conservative peo-
pie of the State-black and white
alike-a cheap campaign paper, de-
voted especially to political informa-
tion and suggestions and truths, to
the end that the cause of the Demo
cratic party be strengthened, and
that whites and blacks alike may
realize that the peace and prosperity
of the State depend upon the adop-
ton of the conservative principles
set forth in the platform of the De-
mocratic party of this State. He has
conferred with the State Central
Executive Committee of the party
here, and they advise that, inasmuch
as the Phenir is already carrying out
the views which our friends of the
upper country desire enforced, the
Weekly Cleaner, issued from this
Office, and containing the matter of
our daily issues, be directed to the
campaign purposes alluded to. He
proposes, therefore, 10 devote one
half of the Cleaner to political mat
ters, and to make it, par excellence, q

poses of the conservative movement

in the Mercmy's article, we have only
to say, that this is question that be-
longs to tie gentlemen concerned; :;
but we may add, that i'll deciding
what course to adopt, it is likely that
they will conform rather to the sug-
gestions of their own mind than to
the advice of the Mercury.
One epoint more. The Mercury says,
in reference to the delegates elect:
"We know these gentlemen too well
personally, to believe that they would
consciously misrepresent the people.
But it is ce, tainly true in politics,
that well-meaning men are often the
most mischievous. Their very vir-
tues give them their power for evil. :"
This is decidedly rich and rare.
No escape is there from such
philosophy. Il catches public men
on either horn of the dilemma. If
they are wicked and designing and
devilish, they are to be feared be-
cause of their spirit for evil. If they
are well-meaning, "their very vir-
tues" make them "mischievous.
But we suppose we know what the
Mercury meant. This is the thought,
that the virtuous parties compliment
ed, though good, easy men, mild
hammered enough, are yet rather
soft-brained, and have not the Mer.
cmry's own sharp, clear insight into
the nature of men and the workings
of government. In fine, our cotem-
porary commends and, at the same
time, "damns with faint praise"
