A oology.— An annoying error occurred in ?e -
terday’s paper through inadvertence, the naraeot
Col. Henry 11. Gumming having been dropped from
our countv ticket tor the State Convention in
stead of Hon. Chaeles J. Jekwot, Which we ha
been requested to withdraw.
Meeting in Wilkes.-A meeting of those op
posed to immediate ecession was 111 as

Benjamin Wallace and Richard Bradford, Esqrs.,

()>'; i,KTiioHi*k Infantry. — This gallant and spirit
ed corps had a fine parade with full ranks yester
day afternoon. We have long ago exhausted
pane,vl ie on this and other companies composing
out Volunteer Battalion — otherwise we should be
inclined to dwell at length upon the soldierly
bearing, and intimate knowledge of military tac
tics, evinced by Capt. Clabkk’s Company, in their
evolutions yesterday. Suffice it to say, however,
that the turn out was every way creditable to the
Oglethorpe*— and the next time they parade, may
wo be there to see.
St. James M. E. Church Ladies Fair.— The
fair of the ladies of St. James Methodist Episco
1> and Church will commence at the Rooms of the
\ oong Men’s Christian Association, on Thursday
evening next, Dec. 20th. The object of the Fair
is to enable the ladies to meet an obligation of a
debt already incurred by the purchase of a lot on
which to build a Parsonage. The debt was made
on the strength of a subscription list gotten up
for the purpose of buying said lot and building a
Parsonage, but these hard times prevents thXiui
mediate collection of any part of the amount sub
scribed, so that an appeal to a generous public is
absolutely necessary. The Fair will be conduct
ed m a proper manner. It will be supplied with
many beautiful and useful articles for sale, as well
with refreshments, and the best dainties of
the season. The good citizens will tind it a pleas
ant and useful method of spending time, if they
will but throng the Fair-rooms. We bespeak for
the Fair and the objects the generous support and
zealous co-operation of our citizens; and we hear
that such an amount Inis been realized from the
receipts as will go far towards accomplishing the
desired end.

Shooting Affair in Hamburg. —A serious and
probably fatal shooting affair occurred in Ham
burg, S. C., yesterday. It appears that two men
named Joseph Samuels and James Reynolds had
an altercation iu the street. Mr. Stephen Shaw,
of Edgefield District, happened to be .passing
through the town on his way to Ringgold, Ga.,
with bis family, lio interfered, as we learn, in
the difficulty, when ho was fired upon by one or
both of the parties, which he returned. Upon
this the tiriug, we should judge, became pretty
general, autl a good many shots were interchanged.
The result was, Mr. Shaw received three serious
wounds —one in the lace, which fractured tho
jaw ; one ,n the side, and a third in the thigh. A
young man by the name of Flint, clerk in a store,
hearing the fracas, stepped l o the door, and re
ceived an accidental shot in the leg. It was merely
a llesh wound, and will soon heal. Another man
received a shot through his pautaloons and draw
ers, just grazing the skin. We could not learn to
what extent, if any, Samuels and Reynolds were
injured in the affray.
Mr. Shaw’s wounds were dressed by Drs.
Campbell and Carter, of this city, and I>r.
Creighton, of Hamburg. His injuries aro very
serious, and it was the opinion of tho physicians
that he could not survive. He was alive at seven
o’clock last night.
The melee occurred in Mechanic street, Ham
burg, about noon, and it is extremely fortunate
that with such frequent and indiscriminate firing,
more persons were not wounded by chance balls.
Southern Cultivator.
We have on our table the December number of
an old and very dear friend and visitor, the
Southern Cultivator, filled as usual, with the
choicest original and selected matter. This number
closes the eighteenth volume; and in it we obsei ve
an announcement of a change in the Proprietor
ship. Dr. \V. S. Jones, who originated and has
for eighteen years continued the publication, be
ginning under many difficulties and obstacles, all
of which have given way finally for a most cheer
ing success, retires from the Proprietorship, hav
ing sold the paper to Mr. D. Redmond, who has
far many rears been its chief Editor, and to whom,
more than to any other individual, are its present
high character and deserved reputation attribut
able.
Mr. Redmond, the new Proprietor, will continue
his editorial supervision, assisted by that ominent
Literary and Agricultural gentleman, Rov.
Ciiaki.es Wallace Howard, of Cass. We tender
our best wishes for continued prosperity, health
and happiness, to both the retiring and the in
coming Publisher, and we wish the Cultivator all
the success, which it ahull deserve—and we fee
assured that will be all that heart can desire-
The Cultivator was the pioneer South of Agricul
tural papers, it has opened up a field which has
since become occupied by many laborers;
still, thorough all time’s changes, it keeps the
lead, and we feel well assured that “neither
heighth, nor depth, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor any other creature” can separate its many
friends from their first love. Aided, as Mr. Red.
hond will be, by Mr. Howard and by a host of
practical farmers and planters, as contributors,
throughout all the Cotton States the Cultivator's
motto may well be “Excelsior,” and its course
onward and upward, devoted entirely, as it has
been and will be, to that great interest, on which
ull others depend, the culture of Southern soil.
The nineteenth volume commences with the Janu
arj number, which will soon be issued. Price us
heretolore, only one dollar, and every number is
- richly worth the money. Address I). Redmond,
Augusta, Georgia.
The Toronto Fugitive Slave Case.—The de.
cision in the extradition of the fugitive slave,
Jones, alias Anderson, recently adjudicated at
Toronto, Canada, was given on Saturday last, in
favor of giving up the prisoner to the United
States authorities— one judge dissenting. An ap
peal was taken by the negro’s counsel. The
prisouer wits strongly guarded and returned to
jail. There was no attempt at rescue.
Another Proposition for Pacification. —The
Albany (New York) Atlas and Argus publishes an
article on the danger to the country and the reme
dy proposing that Lincoln’s administration shall
acquiesce in the Constitution as settled by the
Supreme Court, which puts Southern property
upon au equal footing in the Territories, and also
that the following amendments be made to the
Constitution: 4
That Congress may establish governments for
the Territories, and uuy Territory having a popu
lation equal to the constituency of one member of
Congress, and having adopted, by the vote of the
citizens resident therein, a constitution in the re
publican form, may be admitted by Congress into
the Union as a State. , . _
That neither Congress uor the people of a Ter
ritory during its Territorial condition, shall by
legislation or otherwise, annul or impair the rights
of property recognized by the laws of any of the
States.
In the Liquor Business.—A few days ago eight
barrels of liquor were received at the freight sta
tion in this city, one addressed to each of the fol
lowing named persons: Step nA. Douglas,
Herscnell V. Johnson, Abraham Lincoln, Hanni
bal Hamlin, John Bell, Edward Everett John C
Breckinridge and Jos. Lane.— Concord (A. II.)

The Secession Movement in South Caro-
The fire alarm bell was tolled yesterday about
one ©’clock upon the reception of the news here
that South Carolina had gone out of the Union.
It proved to be a mistake, however, as the South
Carolina Convention has only expressed an opin
ion that their State ought to go out.
We extract from the Convention proceedings
of yesterday :
Evening Session. —The Convention re-assem
bled at 7 o’clock.
The President announced B. F. Arthur as Clerk;
Mr. Lamotte as Messenger, and Mr. Nettles as
Doorkeeper.
Mr. Inglis introduced the following resolutions :
J\'(solved, That it is the opinion of this Conven
tion that South Carolina should forthwith se
cede from the Federal Union, known as the Uni
ted States of America.
Resolved, That a committee of members bo
appointed to provide an ordinance, proper to be
adopted by this Convention, in order to accom
plish this purpose of secession, and that individ
ual members desiring to submit for the considera
tion of the Convention any draft or scheme of
such ordinance, be requested to hand the same
without delay, to said committee.
Resolved, lhat the Act of the General Assem
bly of this State, providing for the Assembling of
the Convention, be referred to the same commit
tee, with instructions to consider and report
thereon. 1
Mr. Gadbetry seconded the resolution.
At ‘.his point Col. Elmore, Commissioner from
Alabama, and Col. Hooker, Commissioner from
Mississippi, accompanied by Ex Governor Adams
made their appearance on the stand. Thev were
severally introduced, and made eloquent and im
pressive addresses, pledging Alabama and Mis
sissippi to joiti South Carolina in secediug from
the Union. Their remarks were frequently inter
rupted by applause.
1 he C onvention then resumed the consideration
of the resolutions. The first resolution was adopt
ed—yeas 168, noes none.
The question being on the second—
Mr. Rbett moved to amend the resolution so that
all other matters connected with the business of
the Convention should be referred to that Com
mittee ; which, after an animated discussion, was
laid on the table. The third resolution was
then withdrawn, and the second resolution, after
being amended by inserting twentv-one in the
blank, was adopted.
A vote of thanks was returned to the Baptist
Church for the use of their edifice.
The Commissioners of Alabama and Mississippi
were invited to go with the Convention to Charles
ton.
And the Convention then adjourned, to meet in
Charleston to-morrow (Tuesdayj, at 4p. m.
T rare with Charleston.— Tne steamer Massa
chusetts, which is now at Long wharf, will not
make another trip to Jthe “Palmetto Republic” for
the present. The steamer “South Carolina,” on
on her return from Charleston, will probably re
main at her berth in this city until affairs assume
a brighter aspect.
There is now no freight to or from Charleston.
Two of the four steamers which usually ply be
tween New York and Charleston have hauled off,
and the two which are running do not pay ex
penses. The Philadelphia line to Charleston has
been temporarily discontinued, and the Baltimore
line to that port is poorly patronized. In fact,
the fleet of steamers which have been transacting
a flourishing business between Charleston and
ports to the North find their “occupation goue”
in the stagnation caused by the secession fever in
South Carolina. * -
It has been proposed in some business circles
that these steamers should make a few trips be
tween Boston and New Orleans, thus anticipating
the proposed new line between the two ports.—

COTTON.—The market has been steady throughout the
week. The Banks are extending the needed facilities formov
itig the crop to the Ports. The effect in England of the first ter_
rihle i low of the panic upon the Exchanges of this country
has been trifling, thus reassuring confidence to some extent
with us. -These are the influences which have caused shippers
to buy Cotton, and have kept prices firm. The receipts at this
point are very light, but the current prices will doubtless have
the effect to bring increased supplies to market. We quote :

REMOVAL.
rjSIIE undersigned, Agent for the above Fertiliser, In corse
,JL fl uen ce of Its marked success the past season, andthe great
ly Increased demand arising therefrom, has made arrangements
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply ; and re
quiring greater facilities for storage and other accommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as below, where he will be
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness. He
may be allowed to express his satisfaction in view of the fact
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, gene
rally for the purpose of making comparative tests with btlu r
fertilisers, not one case has come to his knowledge where c”r
fertiliser has not shown a decided superiority. Planters who
have used Mapes’Phosphate, now make It their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as fifi v tons, for use
the next season. This fact speaks for itself. We have dlscov
erea a quality, developed in she drouth, which was before unob
served, viz ; its hygrometric power, or capacity, to abfcoi b
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large extei.t
the late unparalleled drought where it was used, while most
other fertilisers were not only valueless, but positively injurious
to the plant. The safety and profit as a money Investment,
arising from the use of Mapes’Phosphate, are now placed be
yond question, and the experience oi the past season, nas estab
lished what -we have, without hesitation, always asserted for ii,
that is the only fertiliser reliable under all circumstances ct
