SOUTH CAROLINA
Wishes to secede from the Union. This
is the only wish favorable to the Union she
has expressed very lately. In the revolu
tion and last war she was very patriotic
While there was any fighting necessary
her sons were always ready. This is the
only redeeming trait in the character of
her' citizens. .When peace was declared,
she was the first to interrupt the harmony
of feeling by refusing lo accept the consti"
stitution formed by the National Conveif
tion. Durins Gen. Jackson's administra
tion hpr Senators advocated the policy of
nullification. Now she is again resisting
the will of the majority, and threatening
secession, disunion and a multitude of ter
rible things. From the time of her uni
ting herself with the other states, she has
been perpetually complaining, gasconading
and threatening. She has never been sat
isfied and, we may safely say, never will
be. A spoiled child could not show more
bad temper and restlessness under govern
ment than she has done. She perpetually
reminds one ol a pot-house bully. Her in
habitants have become so accustomed to
command and reign over their despicable
black population, that they can not lay
aside their domineering disposition when
they come among freemen. They call
themselves chivalrous because their idea of
chivalry excludes acquiescence in any
opinion or measure that does not originate
with themselves. They cling to their "pe
culiar institution" with a ridiculous ardor
and prize it higher than the blessings of the
Union." They cherish it more than their
own lives and are ready to shoulder their
coffins in its defence when no one dreams
ol attacking it. Their boasting would put
a Gascon to shame, and their rhodomonta-
de would astonish a Mexican. Their
highest delight is to resist fancied aggres-
siion and fight wind mills. To resist the
law is their most pleasing exercises
The very best thing they can do is to
leave the Union. Since South Carolina
has been a state, she has been a draw back
to it; a continual source of plague and dis
cord. Her aim has been lo rule or ruin.
She is of no manner of use to the confedera-
On the contrary, her absence from it
TREVOR-TON.
This place has improved with singular ra
pidity. At the letting of the Trevorton and
Susquehanna railroad, on tho 28th of May
last, the whole ground upon which the town
plot was laid, was a wilderness. With the
mountain rearing their rugged heads upon
each aide, and the thick woods covering the
little valley between them, it presented any
thing but a favorable aspect. A single log
cabin was the only landmark of the place.
The sight which now breaks upon the eye as
you descend the mountains presents a beauti
ful and cheering contrast. Where waved
the lofty forest now ascends the wreathed
smoke from nearly one hundred neat cottages,
and instead of the death-like stillness that rest
ed over the valley, now comes up the clang of
the workman's hammer, the shouts of the
carters, the rumbling of the loaded teams
and the thousand confused noises of a busy
settlement. Up the mountain road labors a
long train of wagons loaded with coal from
the neighboring mines, and bound for the
Susquehanna; for the rail road is not yet fin
ished, but the enterprising operators are de.
termined to introduce their coal into market.
Down the valley the line of rail road can be
traced by the knots of men and lines of carts
engaged in excavation and embankment.
Every thing is full of life and indicative
cf successful enterprise. The whole face of
the country is changed and one can scarcely
recognise the spot. Progress and improve
ment are stamped wherever the eye rests.
Eleven veins of pure coal lie in the moan.
tain south of the town, and the mountain it
self is divided to its base by Zerbe's run. af
fording easy access to them on either side of
the stream. All of these have been proved
and several are now being worked. This
coal will find its way to the canal over the
rail road now, in progress, and thence to mar.

on this occasion, no doubt, contributed
greatly to prevent any disturbance. His

would be a blessing. She would then cease
to be an evil example to the rest of the
South. Bad company has always its effect
and her course has had its influence. Be
ing no longer buoyed up by the good name;
fam and credit ol her sisters, she would
sink to the level she merits. We hope she
will go. A dim star would never be missed
in our bright galaxy. The chain of the
confederacy would be stronger by losing a
rages and murders, the w hiten formed a corps
of riflemen for their common defence. While
seven or eight of the company were out pios
pecting, they were sud lenlv attacked by a
party of fifty or sixty of the unlives, some of j solemn declaration and well known inllexi-
whom were armed with pistols, which hail
been imprudently sold the.n by the whites.
The men stood their ground, and were soon
reinforced by the commander, dpt. Sanger,
and some, others who le-unl the tiring and
rushed lo their aid. This littlo band stood
their ground for three hour under a terrible,
hot sun and in a- most diaUaiitai;(ous posi
tion, till at last the Intliau, disheartened by
their slain retreated. Cap!. Sniper was moi
tally wounded, and three oilier severely; the
former was from Massachusetts- and the lat

next day with the entire force, and complete

Business. Matters. Tho recent nssijrn.
ments which have been made in Sacramento
and San Francisco have caused much excite
ment and a good deal of nervous apprehen
sion among business men. So ne of the mos;
extensive firms hav?, when leant expected as
signed all their property for the benefit of
their creditors exhibiting, in almost evriy
case, a large amount of indebtedness. In
some instances, it has been confidently assert,
ed that all the liabilities would be satisfied
and a surplus loft on hand, but in others there
has been no hope of such a result.
' We cannot but regard the financial matters
fit the present time as in a very unsettled
state, and confidence has beon impaired to a anarchy
very considerable extent. e must attribute
the present pressute in the money market
and the unsettled stale of business, generally
to the losses arising from the three great fires
with which we have been visited and in tho
unconquerable spirit which has been carried
on to so vast an extent in our community
within the past year.
bility had the desired effect. It is to men
of his character that we must look lor the
maintatnance of law and order. He has
set an example to the Judiciary and police,
that should be constantly before them. If
there were more such officers we should
hear of less riotous conduct and rebellion.
We, for one, and we hope we speak the
sentiments of every honest man, are in fa
vor of maintaining a law, no matter how
arbitrary are its provisions, until it is re
pealed by the popular voice through their
legal representatives. When armed resist
ance is mane, it snouia De put aown ny
every means in the power of the officers.
The blood of rioters should flow freely as
water, while resistance, is made, and the
guilty who escaped the bayonet, be tried
and executed as traitors. If laws are to
be disregarded and trampled upon because
they are severe, and distasteful to a portion
of the community, their is no use of having
them. II magistrates are frightened from
their duty by threats and violence, our
government becomes mockery and larce,
society unsafe, and democracy a solemn
humbug. Whenever there is a power
above the laws, republicanism becomes

ARCTIC EXPEDITION-.
Tho National Intelligencer publishes a let
ter from Lieut. Haven, commander of the
American Squadron in search of Sir John
Franklin. The letter is dated August 22di
otT Port Leopold, and adressed to tho Navy
Department. Tho expedition has encountered
serious difficulties aud much ice. The offi
cers and crew are in good health and in high
hopes of succeeding in finding Sir John.
The Advance had peperaled from the Rescue

penetrated farther North and are ahead of
any ships now out on ihe same expedition.

Majesty's ships Assistance aud Intrepid, laud

PATRIOTIC.
At a meeting of the Pennsylvania State
Abolition Seciety held in Westchester, a
resolution was passed denouncing the Con
stitution of the United States, condemning
the American church, as a body, as unwor
thy the name of Christ, and pledging the
society to disregard the fugitive slave bill..
This Society is mainly composed of Friends,
who discover a nice distinction between
the morality of inciting a row and fightin---it

AEROSTATIC BRIDGE.
A French gentleman, named Lemaitre, has
laid before the Academy of Sciences, n plan
of an Aerostatic biiilge, which he proposes
to build across the channel between Dover, in
England, and Calais, in France. The bridge
is to be suspended in the air by means of
balloons. Mr. Lemaitre proposes to construct
strong abutments on each side, to w hich the
platform is to be attached. At a distance of
100 yards from the coast, and at distances of
every hundred yards across the channel, ho
woukl sink tour barges, heavily laden, to
which would be fixed a double iron chain of
peculiar construction. A formidable appara
tus of balloons, of nn elliptical form, and
firmly secured, would support in the air the
extremity of these chains, which would be
strongly fastened to the abutments on the
shore by other chains. Laeh section of 100
yards would cost about 800 0001., which would
make 84 millions for the whole distance across
These chains, supported in the nir at stated
distances, would become the point of support
ol the lairy bruise, on which the inventor
proposes to establish an atmospheric railway.
This project has been developed at great
length by the inventor.
Should ho be successful, it will establish a
new era in the construction of bridges. It is
an astonndinc proposition, but not more so
than some which have been carried out.
Slave Excitement at Dr.TnoiT Exnr.n
Slave Bought. A Correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier, writing from Detroit, Octo
ber 15, stales lhat ihe ne-jro excitement has
somewhat subsided. The military was on
Friday niiiht withdrawn from Ihe jail yard
since which time a police has been on duly.
On Saturday, a large meeting was held, at
which Ihe Mayor presided, and speeches
were made by Hon. K. S. Bingham, Messrs,
Joy and Emmons, and others. This meeting
was large and enthusiastic. Yesterday a
subscription of S300 was raised for the pur
chase of the negro. It was headed by II. Led
yard, Esq., son-in-law of Gen. Cass, with S50.
The negro was last night released from cus
tody, and he was really unable what course
lo decide on. He said he had always been
treated in the kindest manner, and regretted
that ho had caused all this excitement. His
owner, who is a brother of Hon Mr. Rose, of
Geneva, paid all expenses, to the amount of
S200, pocketing the S300 as the value of the
slave, and left fer home. So the great insur"
reclion has at lust ended. This morning
larce numbers of negroes are crowding over
lo Sandwich, Canada. We do not anticipate
any further trouble, lor fugitives will heie
after bo cautious how they remain in
town.
Philadelphia, Oct. 22, 1850
The Lind mania has been raging here for
a week past, and seemed to absorb every
thing else of interest. The good people ol
Philadelphia were probably never under a
greater state of excitement than from the
time when Jenny Lind arrived here, on Tues
day of last week, until her departure. On
Wednesday, Ihe day following, w hen the sale
of tickets took place, by auction, in the Chest
nut Street Theatre, there was a perfect furor
of excitement. The street between Jones
Hotel, where Jenny has her qnnrlers, and the
Iheatre, was constantly crowded. Long be
fore Ihe hour of 10 o'clock, the theatre was
filled 'from the parquelte to tho third tier
with bidders and spectators. After the sale
of ihe first ticket to M. A. Root the celebra
led dacuerreotypisl, . for six hundred and
twenty-five dollars, the biddings commenced
in earnest, and about 1500 tickets were sold
at prices varying from S 15 lo S5. There
were prcbablv about 2000 persons present at
the first concert on Thursday, and ihe re
ceipts we understand, amounted lo abou
$12,000. Many no doubt spent their lastdol
lar. To some families of moderate means
and large pretentions it was a heavy and bur
densome tax. One individual bought sixteen
tickets at $10 each. A number of other
bought fiom $25 to S50 worth. All acknow
ledge that it is paying rather much for the
whistle, but they do not begrudge it so much
to Jenny as to Bainum, w ho is making an
other fortune out of her, and who seems lo
turn every thing into gold he touches. B.tr-
num is a yankee, also a shrewd one at lhat.
lie understands the power and influence of
the Press, and deals liberally with those con
nected with that great engine, which makes
fortunes as well as distinguished men out ot
many who otherwise would never have been
heard of.
Well, Thursday night came at last, and
long before the hour of eight the theatre had
beei filled from top to bottom. Vhatsur-
prised me most was lo linil the audience
composed of nearly one half ladies. In New
Yoik and Boston but a few ladies have yet
ventured lo attend. Such a dense mass ol
Exploration oe the Rio Granpe: Major !
Chapman of U. S Army, made a report to Ihe
War Department, giving Ihe result of an ex
ploration of the Rio Grande made Cayt. Love,
which is published in the ''Republic" of Sat
urday. These explorations were made for a
distance of D67 miles, in a keel-boat, drawing
eighteen inches of water, and 47 miles fui.
Iherin a skiff, which was carried round falls
impassable to the larger craft. The sub
stance of the report is that the Rio Grande
flows through a verry fertile country, much
of it under cultivation, with abundant game,
and supporting immense Mocks of sheep and
herds of treats. Capl Love, thinks the entire
valley is peculiarly lilted for raising sheep as,
from the mildnrtps nf the climate ihey require
no sheds during (ho winter mouths, and can
graze during the whole year. Two inex
haustable mines of bituminous coal have been
opened on the Texas side of the river, and
mention is made of several rich silver mines
on tho Mexican side, some forty or fifty miles
back from Presido Ilio Grande, w hich were
forme rly worked to advantage by the Span-iards.

M UIONOY OAL.
The Mahonoy and Shamokin Improve
ment company are sending several boat
loads ol this coal to this place for shipment
to New York. The coal is mined from
two veins ol the company near Trevorton.
The specimens now lying upon the wharf
are beautiful. That brought Iroin one vein
is of the rich peacock variety. It is much
softer than the Schuylkill coal, but, parta
king more of the bitumenous quality, pos
sesses more inflamabilily, which peculiarly
fits it for consumption in steam engines and
forges. It ignites with the ease and burns
with the bright flame of the bitumenous
coal, while its firmness is sufficient to pre
vent top rapid combustion. That from the
ether vein is more compact, contains
scarcely any bituminous, and closely re
sembles the Shamokin coal. The rail road
to connect this coal basin with the Susque
hanna is not yet completed, and this coal is
now transported to this place in wagons.
A single lump was brought which weighed
upwards of a ton,

kcr citv. The audience was indeed a most
brilliant one. I succeeded ihrnush the kind
ness of a fiiend, in procuiiug nn excellent po
sition for sight and hearing. At precisely
eiyht, the orchestra coinrrienciid by playing
the overture to Frevschitz," and shortly af
ter Signor Belletti made his appearance and
sans an extract from one of Rossini's operas.
He is a most admirable singer, but the anx
iety to hear and see the nightingale was too
intense to listen without impatience. At
leneth Jennv made her itmiearance, and
came tripping over the stage lo the fool light
with all the simplicity and innocence of a
vouns cirl skippin" nlona the streets, ack
nowledging the buists of applause with
number of low and sraeeful hends of her fi
lire, which is a good one. She commenced
by sins'ma a pretty song from ihe. opera of
Somnambltla, which did not strike me as
much superior to the performance of Mrs
Wood, some ten years since, r.i the same
piece. She was evidently excited and a lit
lie hoarse. It was not until she had suns
several songs that the wonderful powers of
her voice were fully developed. Her flute
song, in which she was accompanied by two
flutes was a wonderful performance, and it
was difficult sometimes to distinsnish her
voice from the instrument. The under tones
of her voice exceeds any thing I ever heard
as the cadences died away, and were nppa
rentlv no louder than a whisper vet they
could b" distinctly heard all over the house
The Herdsmen, or tho echo sonir, as it is
called, was the last of the five soncs lhat
were suns, anil is probably the most popular)
n it is certainly the most astonishing part of
the performance. She produces the echoes
of her own voice with a decree nf perfection
and rapidity allncelher unaccountable, nn!e
it is bv a species of ventriloquism. Jenny i
not handsome, thonch her fine lartre blue
eyes, beaming with cenernns and noble im
pulses, eives her an expression exeeedinaly
interestinff. Her nose j broad at-'ils base,
anil somewhat sunken or depressed between
the eyes, and the nostrils distended There
is a constant crowd mostly of boys and youncr
men, at nicht around ihe Hotel, and almost
every ninht she has been obliged lo come
out on the balcony to satisfy them before
they would leave. The fact is she is con
stantly annoyed whenever she leaves the
house. On Friday and Saturday niuhts she
sang at tho Musical Fund Hall. There were
about 1S00 or 2000 persons present. Price
of tickets, S5, t0 ad S7 according lo posi
tion. On her return to the Hotel after the
concert, she was, as UEual, followed by the
crowd. To gratify them she again appeared
on the balcony in company with Mr. Bridges,
waving her handkerchief with one hand, and
her bonnet in the other, shaking hands w ith
some, and bowing to others over the railing
Th bhoys got over the railing in spite of the
police, and surrounded her, carrying away
both bonnet and handkerchief, tearing the
latter to fragments, and dividing the pieces.
Some friends interfered and got her in the
door- Mr. Rridges attempted lo recover the
bonnet, but she laughingly told him not to
mind it. These proceedings are disgraceful,
and are not participated in by intelligent aud
veil bred citizens. Jenny, who jssomeihing
of a republican in feeling, knows how to ap
preciate these rude, though well intended
demonstrations of respect. She is said to be
extremely well pleased with her reception
here, and will probably return in the course
of three or four weeks. She will probably
make a quarter of a million of dollars before
she returns home. She is extremely liberal
in her charities, and has probably given more
for charitable purposes than any ten persons
living or dead, Her donations already
amount lo more than a half million of dollars
in Europe alone. I have already spun out
this letter on this subject larger thau I intend,
ed, but I could not well say less.
