Editor Chron. it Sent. :—Be pleased to republish
in your valuable paper the article headed “The
Crisis,” communicated to the Savannah Republican,
that I send you ; and let it appear in good, large
type, that those aged eyes, like my own, ot per
sons who have an attachment to our invaluable
Union , may in its perusal, see some common sense
views of our situation.
Your Iriend and subscriber,
R. Campbell.
Augusta, Dec. 19th, 1860.
Tlie CrUls.
Whither are we tending ? Do we, any of us,
allow ourselves to look calmly and fearlessly into
the future ? Shall we realize what we are about
to do before it is too late ? Do we dispassionately
ask ourselves what will be the consequences, if
we follow hastily the example of South Carolina,
and resolve upon immediate secession—upon sep
arate State aqjion—now if two, three, or even the
five cotton States do the same ?
When we have declared our independence, and
no longer form a part of a great and powerful con
federation. where are we ? What are we ? Sur
rounded by those whoste interests of self-preserva
tion will at ouce place them in an attitude of an
tagonism—a handful of petty independent States,
who could not preserve a separate existence a
twelve month, save through the forbearance of
the very powers they have defied—a handful of
States that had but one strong feeling and pur
pose in common, tvliich having accomplished its
work, will give way to numberless jealousies and
conflicting interests —or admit, that actuated by
a common interest, earnest and resolute in a com
mon cause, sharing a common danger, bound per
haps by a common suffering, we decide to unite
under a common government to South Carolina,
who has had the boldness, the resolution, the self
sacrificing courage to stand forth alone, and hurl
the gauuiet of defiance at the Federal Govern
ment, common courtesy, as well as common gra
titude, dictates that we should yield the prece
dence in any form of government w r e may estab
lish—are we prepared for this? Grant that we
are, what will be even then our position ?
The great majority of the slave States are not
with us—on the contrary, most of them are deci
ded in their opposition to separate State action—
to secession—and a strong and increasing feeling
seems to prevail that the division of the Union,
and the formation of a Southern confederacy is
only to be resorted to when we have unitedly
made every effort, by earnest appeal, and stern
demand, to have our wrengs redressed, and our
rights guarantied in the Union, and by the
Union, and have not succeeded. Without the co
operation of the border and middle slave States,
how shall we stand in regard to them if we secede?
We say we do not desire their co-operation—are
we strong enough of ourselves to do without it ?
Have we ever thought of their taking part against
us ?
We talk of the alliance of England—the pro
tection of England. England will enter into no
relations with us that shall jeopardize her other
interests. Canada and the other British North
America provinces are to considered. She will
not risk the friendship of the North for us.
“True” we say, “but she must have our cotton
yes, and she also knows that we must sell it—and
she will have it on her own terms and at her own
price.
We talk of resistence to the Federal Govern
ment, and if we need it, the aid and protection of
England; do we know what that means? does
not every page of England’s history prove that
she dictates and finally subjugates where she pro
tects. Are we prepared to return to colonial de
pendence? That will most assuredly be the re
sult of placing ourselves under the protection of
England.
But we have no right to believe, or reason to
hope, that England will be so false to her owm
professions of faith, so regardless of her truth as
a nation, so fickle in her policy, as to side with us
in a contest growing out of a question which she
has decided for herself at such a cost. We talk
of her self-interest, and our cotton power— my
must sell our cotton and she knows it. Self-interest
will not permit her to lose the profitable trade
with New York, one of her best markets. In the
event of the dissolution of the Uuion, New York
will submit to no restrictions upon her commerce
that give advantage to any free port of the South.
The great grain producing States of the West and
Northwest find, through New York, their natural
outlet, and if New Eugland, in the folly and blind
ness of her fanaticism, has been mainly instru
mental in bringing about a crisis, political and
financial, that is striking at the very foundation
of the commercial prosperity of the country, New
York will make no sacrifice of her manufactories.
Are we to think, for a moment, that with the re
cent experience of the English Colonial Secretary,
the knowledge he has gamed during his tour in
the Northern Stales, he is likely to counsel anv
step that will lead to a rupture or misunderstand
ing with them ?
But there is a higher ground to be taken than
that of self-interest—have we no regard for our
position in the eyes of the world ? The United
States command universal respect, and admira
tion. The ? sectional jealousies we feel so keenly
are not vegarded beyond our own limits—our in
ternal disunion is not heeded abroad-little is
known of our geographical or sectional divisions
—Mason’B and Dixon’s Line conveys no signifi
cance to a foreign ear. Kansas might be a small
town in Carolina, and Arkansas a thriving shoe
making village of Massachusetts, for all that Eu
rope knows to the contrary, or cares. This coun
try is regarded and esteemed, and feared (per
haps,) abroad as a great and prosperous whole,
ana only as a part of this great and prosperous
whole ate we, or our sister States, ever known.
South Carolina and Georgia alone, or altogether,
occupy so small a place in the great area of the
Union, that their value and importance may not
be recognized—their cause of complaint under
stood or appreciated abroad ; while their deter
mination to destroy the Union cemented by the
blood of their fathers, will be looked upon by the
friends of freedom and liberty throughout the
world with indignant sorrow, and by tyrants and
oppressors, with exultation not unmixed with
contempt. Are we prepared to become a by-word
and scorn among the nations ? Many an oppres
sion and injustice we have suffered —but have we
tried and exhausted every means to obtain re
dress ? South Carolina declares that she will not
listen to any compromise, we are urged to sav the
same. No one can doubt that a strong party in
Carolina had long ago resolved upon this step,
and have only made the result of the election
serve as a pretext to justify themselves in the
eyes cf the people at large. Have we not a party
among us who have long desired a dissolution of
the Union —blind to the future, reckless to the
present, filled with some vague idea of State and
personal aggrandisement, and are hurrying us
onward to some act that will commit us to a course
from which there is no receding.
The tone of feeling at the North is already much
changed and the tide seems everywhere turning
towards us. Strong efforts are being made to
effect such measures as shall restore to us our
rights and confirm them to us in the future. Shall
we turn a deaf ear to the words of conciliation
that already reach us ? Is the accumulated pros
perity of years to be destroyed in a moment ? Is
not the preservation of this Union which has
grown, State added to State, into a great and
powerful nation, worth the deliberation of a few
weeks ?
Do we not owe something to those staunch,
true-hearted men of the North, who have so long
stood our friends? There is a strong and increas
ing feeling among the masses of all parties in our
favor. Black Republicanism is fast dying out,
save with a few Abolition leaders whose followers
are deserting them daily—and a large majority of
the very men who voted for Lincoln, are ready to
unite with the tried friends of the South to and us
justice.
i ‘Let Georgia, as she would justify herself to the
world and to her childrens’ children, act with
deliberation, and decide carefully, weighing well
the consequences. Let the wise and prudent, and
moderate, use all their influence to curb the vio
lent, and restrain the hasty ; while at the same
time let us be as firm and resolute in demanding
our rights, as the strongest advocates for seces
sion can desire. Let us be definite as to the
rights we claim, and the guarantees we demand.
Wise and good men at the North stand ready to
aid us ; let us use every means to obtain redress
and recover those rights which the Union was.
formed to secure to each of its members.
If we are refused justice—if, wrong and oppres
sion is to be permitted and sanctioned in the
name of the Union, let us then, but not till then,
rend asunder the tie that unites us, ere it becomes
a gailiug chains. Then our crushed aud bleeding
htqads shall no longer lend their aid to sustain an
illy?6btuined structure —but if in withdrawing our
support it falls, God help those who may be crush
ed beneath its ruins! * *****
Senator Toombs’ Position.— The Washington
correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch writes
. as lollows relative to the views taken at the Capi
tol ot Mr. Toombs’ position :
Senator Toombs’ proposition (to amend the
Constitution, and urging Georgia to secede at the
latest day.; is construed differently by the seces
sionists, some being encouraged by it, and others
more numerous, being discouraged. A Southern
Senator, discussing this proposition, said to me
“I know Robert Toombs well. This is not the
first time he has turned the head of
He did so in ’sl; but for him, we would have ob
tained all we wanted, all we needed, then ; and
the present crisis would never have come.”
The commanding officer of the City Guard Bat
talion, of Baltimore, recently communicated to the
Minister of the United States the desire of the
Battalion, in its military capacity, to visit Paris.
A correspondence on the subject fists taken place
between the Minister of the united States and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the result of which is
that the Emperor courteously accords to the Bal
fißore City Guard the privilege of visiting France
Xitrined and equipped, and of displaying its
Scy before the most martial nation of Eu
visit is to b# mads in June next.
South Carolina Convention.
The telegraph has already advised our readers
of the meeting of the South Carolina State Con
vention at Columbia, and its subsequent adjourn
ment to Charleston, on account of the prevalence
of the small pox at the former place. The Con
vention met in Charleston at 4 o’clock Tuesday
evening. Not much business of importance was
transacted, the sessien being a brief one. Mr.
Magrath offered the following resolution, which
was made the special order for Wednesday :
Resolved, That so much of the Message of the
President of the United States as relates to what
he designates the property of the United States
in South Carolina, be referred to a committee, to
report of what such property consists, how the
same was acquired, or whether the purposes for
which it was so acquired can be enjoyed by the
United States after the State of South Carolina
shall have seceded, consistent with the dignity
aud safety of the State, and the said Committee
further report the value of the property of the
United States not in South Carolina, and the
value of the share thereof to which South Caroli
na may be entitled upon an equitable division
thereof among the States. [Great applause in
the galleries.]
The President announced that he held in his
hand a document received Monday evening, after
adjournment in Columbia. It was addressed to
the Presiding officer, and purports to be an ad
dress of a portion of the Legislature of Georgia to
this Convention on the various subjects now agi
tated before this body.
Judge Withers asked whether the President
had examined this document, and if so, whether
there was anything in it that should not have pub
licity at the present time. In that case, he would
ask that it should not be read. There might be
communications between other States or bodies,
like this, that ought not to be published.
The President said that he thought it would he
impolitic to give it publicity.
The President announced the following as the
Committee to prepare an ordinance of secession,
in compliance with the resolution passed Monday
night :—Messrs. Inglis, Rhett, Chesnut, Orr,
Maxey Gregg, B. F. Dunkin and W. F. Hutson.
The following gentlemen were announced the
Committee on the resolution to prepare an address
to the people of the Southern States : Messrs.
Rhett, Finley,Calhoun, J. D. Wilson, W. F. De-
Saussure, Cheves and Tracy.
Mr. DeTreville offered the’ following :
Resolved, That it is expedient that a council of
five citizens of the State, to act together with the
Governor of the State as counsellers and advisers,
to be called a Council of Safety, should be forth
with appointed and that it be referred to a Com
mittee of this Convention, Jo report thereon by
Ordinance or otherwise.
On motion ot Mr. Orr, the resolution was order
ed to be printed and made the special order for
Wednesday at one o’clock.
Mr. Mazyck moved that the address to this Con
vention from Georgia be read by the President
and printed.
Mr. Inglis. He thought it impolitic for them to
take up this communication and print it, as it was
unofficial and emanating only from a portion of
the Legislature of Georgia. He was in favor of
hearing any communication coming to the Con
vention officially from the Legislature of any
State.
Mr. Mazyck withdrew his resolution, when, on
motion, it Was laid on the table for the informa
tion of members 1
Excitement at Cave Springs, Gil.
An intense excitement was created at Cave
Springs on last Saturday night, in regard to
which the following are the particulars as given
to us:
It seems that suspicion had, for some time,
been resting upon two brothers by the name of
Ray, Railroad hands, from East Tennessee, that
they were tampering and unlawfully trading with
negroes. On last Saturday night some of the best
citizens of the place laid a plan to detect them as
follows : A negro [was supplied with a side of ba
con and sent to the usual place, near the shanty
of the Rays, to give the signal, while these citi
zens accompanied him and concealed themselves
near by.
This being accomplished, the Rays came out to
the negro, had a familiar conversation with him,
bought his bacon at 8 cts. a pound and agreed to
pay in whiskey at one dollar a gallon. In a con
tinuation of the talk, one of the Rays said to the
negro that “all the slaves would be free on the
4th of March.” At this time the citizens who had
been in the hack ground stepped forward and or
dered them to stand or they would shoot them.
One of the Rays cursed the party aud immediately
fired a pistol, the ball barely missing Mr. Fielding
Height. Hereupon several of the party tired at the
Rays who made a hasty retreat, but they were
both arrested in the course of the night, it was
then ascertained that one of them had been shot
through the hand and the other in the leg—both
flesh wounds only.
There was a large crowd assembled at Cave
Spring on Sunday, and considerable excitement
prevailed. A portion of the citizens were in favor
of administering summary punishment, but mild
er counsels prevailed and the culprits were held
in custody to be examined before a Justice of the
Peace on Monday, for committal to jail. We have
not heard the result of the trial, but in all proba
bility they were committed. — Rome Covrie>\
Tlie ltesignation of Gen. Casts.
In referring to the resignation of the venerable
Secretary of State, which was announced iu the
Intelligencer of Saturday, the official paper of
Saturday night says :
“To avoid all misconstruction or misstatement
of tlie reasons which caused this event, we have
taken pains to ascertain the true cause. It is not
that General Cass differed from the President in
regard to any portion of his late Message. On
the great questions of coercing a State to remain
in the Union by military force, the President and
General Cass were perfectly united iu opinion.
The difficulty arose from the fact that General
Cuss insisted that a naval and military force
should be sent immediately to Charleston to re
inforce the forts in that harbor ; and that the
President was of opinion that there was no neces
sity for any such measure, in order to secure the
forts against attack. This being the President’s
conviction, he would not sanction a movement
which might lead to collision and bloodshed in
the present exaited state of feeling in South
Carolina aud other Southern States, and at a time
when every friend of the Union is using his best
efforts to prevent its dissolution, or, if that be not
possible, to avert the adoption of any measure
which would render its reconstruction hopeless.”
It is further stated by the official paper that the
President has resolved to appoint Attorney Gene
ral Black to the vaceut Secretaryship oi’ Stats,
and that hi3 nomination will be sent to the Senate
this day.— Nat. Int. Ylth inst.
Bibb County.—A meeting of the citizens of B'bb
county favorable to co-operation was held on Sat
urday, 15th, and the following resolutions adopt
ed :
That we believe that said Convention should
exercise the utmost freedom, caution, and firm
ness in a bold aud explicit avowal of the various
grievances to which we have been subjected, with
a firm aud fixed determination of resisting them
“at every hazard and to the last extremity.”
That for the purpose of giving force and effect
to such a position, as well as from a sense of re
spect and regard for the sympathies of our Sister
States of the South, whose co-operation we should
by all means, secure if practicable, we would re.
fcpectfully suggest, that the Convention, before
any final action be taken, should propose a Con
vention of all the Southern States at as early a
day as practicable, for the purpose of consultation
and united action in whatever course they may
think proper to adopt, and that the State Conven
tion shoulfl theu adjourn to meet, again on a day
subsequent to the meeting and adjournment of
the Southern Convention, for the purpose of con
sidering the action of said Convention.
The Treasuky.— The condition of the Treasury
is far worse than is understood by the public, or
disclosed by the weekly statements. It has not
been so bad at any time since 1814, when Treasury
notes were sold at 25 per cent, discount. Over
drafts amounting to $250,000 have been made on',
New York, and orders have been despatched to
St. Louis to transfer $500,000 sent, there to pay
army and other demands to New York to satisfy
these drafts. There are only a few hundred
thousand dollars in all the depositories, scattered
in small snms, and thus rendered unavailable at
any particular point. The Miut fund, which is
rarely touched for any other purpose, is exhaust
ed , and there are warrants amounting to $2,000,-
000 on the Secretary’s table, which are not signed
because they cannot be paid. Mr. Thomas will
take immediate steps to secure payment of inter
est on the public debt, due on the first of Janua
ry, if all other demauds have to be temporarily
postponed.
jSooii after Mr. Cobb came into office he redeem
ed the government loan at a premium of 16 per
cent., to relieve the plethoric Treasury, and the
day*he went out it was sold at 15 per cent dis
count.
Curtailment of Business.— We understand that
though this is the time for commencing the spring
work, the large clothing firms of this city are ma
terially curtailing their business, in some cases to
the extent of one-half. One firm who usually em
ployed seventeen cutters have discharged nine,
while a very large number journey men tailors are
vainly attempting to obtain work. A month or
two since, some shipwrights remarked that un
usually ia. ge orders nad been sent South for tim
ber lor shipbuilding purposes. We understand,
however, that many of these orders have been
countermanded within a few \reeks. The dccrase
of business is beginning to be felt in the receipts
of the various railroads. In order, as far as pos
sible, to avert tfflS evils of a bard winter, people
who can afford it should make their expenditures
for needed improvements, which can now be com
pleted at a comparatively light cost. Ou the other
hand, the working classes should be as economi
cal as noi-s’.ble, iu order that thair saving may
carry them safely throagh the crisis yvnich is
upon us. —Rostov Traveler.
, A Sad .ccident. —On Wednesday evening last,
Miss Mar .oa Bivins, daughter of Roland Bivins,
Esq., ol this county, was accidentally shot by a
pisto in the hands of a kdy of the family. The
pistol had been used m practicing, aud while she
was handling it The wound was not,
at nrst, considered dangerous, but terminated fa
tally on the third day afterwards.— ifacan Jour

In some counties, where the feeling is much divided, two nom
inations have been made. Those designated by a star (*) are
the “lmmediati secessioa” candidates. The others stand upon
the ground of a firm amt unyie'tfiug resistance—a demand of
the repeal of al! unconstitutional and obnoxious laws—a deter
mined effort to preserve our rights, honor and interests in the
Union, and an effort at eo-operatiou among all the Southern
States.
Remarkable Rascality in Chicago.—The Chi
cago Journal says :
“ The rumor is widely circulated in the city
that two parttes, the Olle a hanker and the othei a,
liquor merchant, both well-known in business cir
cles, have victimized several business firms in this
city and in Philadelphia, to the amont of forty or
fifty thousand dollars, aud have absconded in
company to Australia. The banker obtained
about twenty thousand dollars from parties in
Philadelphia for investment, upon which be paid
regularly 10 per cent, interest, and forwarded to
his creditors bogus trust deeds and mortgages
with a bogus seal of the Circuit Court attached,
in some instances forging the name of his own
father, and runaway with the principal. The
liquor merchant obtained between ten and twenty
thousand dollars on forged bills of lading, attach
ed to drafts, from a banking firm in this city, and
cleared out in company with his friend, leaving
the banking linn in the lnrch. Both parties sail
ed from New Yolk, for Australia, a few days
since. It is so be hoped that they will land in
Botany Bay.”

£o'’’lt has been currently reported that in most of
the Western cities the “ Town Bell” tolls every day at noon
for the Inhabitants to gulp down quinine, as a preventive of
diseases caused by malaria of the climate. Os course, taking
qulnlue is a coutageous habit, and every new settler is supplied
with the poisonous drug, and Instructed to take it in large
quantities, if he would escape the Fever and Ague. Every
house has Its medicine chest filled with this dangerous stuff,
and as regular as the hour comes around, so regular do they
gulp it down, us though it was the richest delicacy of the sea
son. Dr. J. Hostetter, a Good Samaritan, knowing the dread
ful effects of quinine upon the human system, when taken with
so much indiscretion, has prepared a compound which Ha?, in
<ui cose- iu which it has been tried, proved a speedy euro ror

SUSf’B. L. Fahnestock’s Vermifuge.—This medicine
has a most excellent reputation, not only with th 6 hundreds of
thousands who have used it, but with the medical faculty
generally, who use it as a prescription in their dally practice.
It deserves its reputation, for where worms exist, it never falls
to remove them Irom the system. deelS-d&wlw
Among the many restoratives which nature has
supplied to relieve the afflictions of humanity, there is no more
ffivorite one for a certain claso of diseases than the “ medicinal
gum” of the Wild G’herry Tree ; but however valuable it is, its
power to heal, to seethe, to relieve, and to cure, is enhanced
ten-fold by scientific and judieious combination with other in
gredients, in themselves of equal worth. This happy mingling
exists in that
“ Combination and a form indeed”
of medicine known as
DR. WIHTAIi’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
whose value in curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, Croup, Atthnin, Pulmonary Affection, and Incipient
Consumption, Is Inestimable.

Gentlemen: Believing in tlie great virtue of your renowned
Balsam of Wild Cherry, I cheerfully comply with the request
of your travelling agent in adding my testimony to the many
which you have already received. 1 have been acquainted
witli this medicine for many years, and likve always heard it
spoken of In the highest terms. A brother-in-law, who at one
time was much reduced with a severe and obstinate cough, was
restored by it, after other remedies had failed. I have also
used it for myself and children for obstinate coughs and colds,
with an uniform and happy result, and therefore recommend It
confidently as tlie best lung medicine within my knowledge.
Yours, respectfully, E. M aussenkt.
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.— I The only genuine Wis
tar’s Balsam nas the written signature of “ I. Butts,” and the
printed one of the proprietors on the wrapper ; all other is vile

Fever and Ague, and alt Fevers, are cured by
perseverance with
BRANDRETII’S PILLS,
which lakes all poisons, of whatever nature they may be, from
the circulation.
Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester
county, New York, says, Nov., 1858 : “I was two years ago
attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the
best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi
ous months; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to
skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in
despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of
six of Brandeth's Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse
all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative effect was different from anything I hud
ever used or heard of. Atleugththis effect ceased, and Is cm
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed >c n
sibly better ar.d slept soundly all night. The next day 1 lol
lowed tha same course, and continued to take the Pills in Ib is
way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever s,nce.”

THE CRAYOY, a periodical devoted to the interests of
American Art and Artists, aims to place before the public
whatever relates to the progress of the country in Painting,
Architecture and Sculpture ; its object is to chronicle the pro
ductions of works of Art, to provide discussions of its princi
ples, and to present a reflection of such aspects of society as fa
vor or retard the growth of human refinement.
In fulfillment ot this object, the pages of the Crayon are de
voted to the most suggestive Essays on Art of old and recent
production, to Reviews of Works of Moral and Philosophical
value, to able Translations, to native and foreign Correspon
dence, to select Talcs, to Descriptions of Scenery, and to brief
Abstracts of Current Literature, the nature and novelty of the
t hought under these various headings depending upon the de
gree of intelligence iH the community that fosters its publication.
The Crayon originated in the desire to serve the ends of Art
and Art ists, to give a voice to both and a position amongst the
cultivating agencies of our country. It has never deviated
from its early mission. While allotting a suitable space to Art
subjects, it has opened its columns freely to the discussion of all
other subjects having an important bearing upon the growth of
civilization. We are rapidly increasing in population and
wealth, constantly aspiring to the social standard of the leading
European nations; we must consequently see that our national
Art is not inferior to our other civilizing factors, and not per
mitted to halt in its development. The Crayon has tried to
hold up a high standard of Art, to claim a high position for
Artists, and to awaken the public to a sense of their practical
importance in the community. Before the existence of the
Crayon, little was known of the doings of American Artists
beyond their own personal friends and patrons; their influence
was felt, but without reference to the source of it or to their
vital connection with the highest interests of the nation. To
persevere in the course we have taken and pursued, shall be our
future ambition. We hope our friends will not be backward in
giving us renewed opportunities of accomplishing our abject.
The Crayon Is printed on paper of a superior quality, witli
clear legible type, and Is bound in an appropriate cover, and is
published monthly at the rate of Three Dollars per annum,
payable in advance.
