The Yeadon Festival to the Press.
Pursuant to invitations that have been generally extended,
1 a large number of the members of the Press, drawn to our
( city by the interesting convention of last week, assembled
at the house of Mr. Yeadon, in Wentworth street, on
Saturday evening. The entertainment was designed as
a reunion of the Press, after the exciting duties and la
bors of the Convention week and also as an official tribute
from the host in his capacity as Presideut of the S. C.
Press Association, to which he was unanimously elected
in December last. It was indeed a most interesting and
agreeable occasion, renewing old ties that had long been
i gathering force and establishing a personal acquaintance
l with many, who previously had only known each other,
■ through the courtesies of professional exchange and in
; tcrcoutse. Although a festive rally of the Press was the
I chief object, there were a few invited guests who brought
j their own welcome in the pleasure offered by their pres-
I cnce.
Among these, were Gov Manning, our esteemed and
deservedly admired chief magistrate, the Hon. YV. C.
Dawson, President of the Convention, F. YY’. Allstou,
President of our State Senate, the Hon. Mitchell King,
the lion, Jame Chesnnt, -Jr., and others.
Tlte company spent some time very agreeably and pleasant
ly, dissolving into various and ever changing groups and
coteries amljkeeping tip a general and inspiring flow of con
versation, which was ‘’punctuated,” to the taste of each
compositor, with refreshments of every kind that could
he desired by the most epicurean taste.
Liquids and solids were compounded according to the
most approved principles, while humor, wit and repartee
sped on the rosy footed hours.
After hours of enjoyment, will long he remembered,
the company proceeded to the supper table, and the fes
tivities reached the acme and crisis. The guests were
addressed in the following welcoming speech by Mr. Yea
don, as host of the evening, and President of the S. C.
Press Association.
Brethren of the Dress and Fellow Southrons ! Per
mit me briefly to express my sentiments and feelings, cn
this interesting occasion. Admonished by and approving
both the precept and example of the distinguished and
worthy President of onr Commercial Convention, nt the
late Convention dinner, I cheerfully second his motion to
suppress long speeches, on all conventional occasions,
whether commercial or festival. Yet would 1 fain em
brace the opportunity, so pleasantly and seasonably afford
ed me, to impress the few words 1 have to say, strongly
and indelibly, on the minds and the hearts of this agreea
ble, social, most susceptible and most unsophisticated
company.
This is the first suitable opportunity I have had to ex
press my grateful sense of the high honor, conferred on
me, in tny election to the Post of President of the S. C.
Press Association. In the political capital of the State
j during the late session of the State Legislature, I was sur
prised by the reception of a letter, courteously announ
cing my election, successively and alike unsought, as a
member and as President ot” the Press Association. Hav
ing been always in the minority, in both S ate and nation
al polities, such a mark of respect and confidence, eman
| ating from such an enlightened body as the S. C. Press
Association, for the most part differing widely from me,
j in political sentiment, naturally touched my heart, and
I filled me with the profoundest gratitude and led to the de
| termination, not only to accept the proffered honor, but to
I aim at deserving its bestowal to the utmost extent of my
i humble ability. Nor ough it to be deemed strange that
liberality should be thus shown to a political opponent.—
j Although differing in politics, whether YY’hig or Demo
j crat, we may yet all cordially unite in common efforts for
the common good and especially for Southern weal. Like
oarsmen on different sides of the same boat, we may tug
against each other with ail our might and main, yet, with
common impulse and increased momentum, may we pro
pel the hark of Stale to the desired haven. We may
differ as politicians, butas Southrons and as Americans
we occupy a common platform, and tnav present an un
broken phalanx to the euerniea of either the South or the
; Republic.
‘The mission of the press is a lofty and a holy one. YY'e
wield a moral lever, which, with more than Archimedean
power, now moves the world—and it is our province and
our duty so to exert and direct its mighty energies, as to
render it subservient to the welfare of our country and our
race. YY’e should be studious to render it promotive, not
only of the diffusion of knowledge and general intelligence,
but of the cause of popular education, the cause ot good
morals, and the cause of religion—that religion, which both
preaches and practises “peace on earth and good will to
wards men.”
Among the purposes of our association may be enumerat
ed the culture of mutual acquaintance and social feeling, so
that we ntay become united in a brotherhood of affection as
well as of profession or occupation. As ancillary to this
end, we should cultivate kind feelings, and practice a high
toned and gentlemanly courtesy towards one another, cher
ishing those amenities which give polish to editorial as well
as social intercourse, and that knightly bearing which ren
ders even warefare pleasant. 1 would counsel you, then,
my brethern and friends, to avoid all abuse or personalities
in newspaper or editorial controversy, to discuss principles,
rather than men, and to name newspapers rather than per
sons in alluding to adversaries ofthe quill. The observa
tion of this rule, the honoring observance of such a custom,
would secure, co.nsumate and plkit.tcatk the high char
acter, for good manners and gentlemanly bearing and
courtesy, already, in large measure, won by Southern jour
nals.
There is one aspect of our duty, as members of the South
ern Free*, to which 1 would particularly ask your attention.
It is that we are sentinels, not only on the watch tower of
general liberty, but on the battlements of Southern rights.
It is our peculiar province to be organs of Southern sen
timent. Although one ot the most consistent and devoted
of unionists, in onr wide spread land, yet do 1 hold that the
Union must be kept compatible with Southern rights, or it
must cease tn exist . YV hiie, therefore, cherishing the Un
ion as the most precious boon ever vouchsafed, to a people,
: by the bounty and benevolence of merciful I'rovidenee, yet
let us he ever ready and prepared to defend our domestic
institution of slavery, the eitment and the aliment of our
prosperity, and of our political exi-tenee, against all assault,
domestic or foreign, trom sister States, forgetful of and faith
less to constitutional obligation, or alieu nations, actuated
by either hostility or fanaticism. If we be but true to our
selves, we shall be impregnable, both at home and from
abroad. The Southern States are fully able,in population,
wealth and resources, to sustain tht-ia-rlvy* as an indepen
dent power, in the family oi'nations. Our military strength
grows out of and is increased by the very fact of the exis
tence of slavery among us, as the basis ol our predial sys
tem, or planting economy ; and, in this particular, we have
greatly the advantage of our sister States of the North.—
\Vhen they go to war, and especially should iheyever have
to meet a war of invasion, to defend their homes and fire
sides, they must tear the peasantry from their fields to fight
their battle*, and thus, in their diminished agricultural pro
dnetion, weaken the sinews of war, whilst war is most fla
grant. YY’ith the South, on the contrary, while the chival
ry of the land rush to battle, in defence of their altars and
their hearthstones, as in the days ofthe revolution, or to
plant the standard of tlte republic on the towers of Mexico,
as illustrated hy the ever glorious Palmetto Regiment, as
deathless in fame, as they were daring in valor—our peas
antry remain on our plantations, educing, in rich abun
dance, from our lei tile soil, the fruits of the earth and the
staples ofthe South, und sturbed hy the thunders of artille
ry or the clash of arms—and the sinews ol war suffer little
or no diminution in elasticity or strength. YY’e are then
; fully competent and should be ever in a state ofprepara
-1 tion, if the preservation ofthe American Union should ever
become incompatible with the preservation of Southern
rights or the existence of Southern slavery, to take our
equal station among the nations ofthe earth. This contin
gency, however, has most happily become remoter or more
improbable than ever, and the present aspect ofthe political
horizon is redolent ol renovated harmony, fraternal con
cord, and enduring peace.
It should be nothing short of absolute incompatibility be
tween the existence ofthe Union and the vital interests ol
the South, that should drive us to the hateful alternative ol
disunion. In the Union, we can beat maintain those inter
ests and defend our rights; if united, we have hut to de
mand in order to command acquiescence in our rightful and
righteous claims. The declaration ol O’Connell, “ IP> are
sere:, millions!’’ restored to Ireland many ofthe right®, long
unjustly wrested from her by force, and withheld from her by
British tyranny. Thedeclaration,“YY’earetenmillioa!” will
secure to the south the full measure of constitutional right &
constitutional equality. Let us, then, not dream of giving up
pur share.in tbe noble inheritance and fellowship of freedom
and glory, beqeat lied us by our patriot ancestry—we should
clim{ to our property in the glories of Niagara, in the gold
of California, aud in the whole expanse of our continental
i republic—rich in the glories of the past, replete w iih the
blessings of the present, and projecting a vista, in the not
far distant future, ofthe increased and increasing happiness
greatness and glory, which even the pencil of imagination
would fail to paint.
But I forbear to indulge in a long winded discourse, to
the interruption of the champagne flow and flavor of our
festal rites. lat me then hasten to a close, by giving a hear
ty welcome to our brethren ofthe Southern press, and of
the press generally, assembled to behold old Charleston ar
rayed in her wonted and time-honored robes of hospitality,
and to aid in preparing her coronation robes as Queen of
the South.
In conclusion, and as appropriate to the occasion, permit
tne, brethren of the press and fellow Southrons, to offer the
following sentiment:
The Souther.n Press— May it ever be emphatically the
Cotton Press —and hold it to be ils pride and its duty, at
once, to impress Southern principles and express Southern
sentiment ; and to resist every attempt either to oppress
Southern interests, to depress Southern staples, or to repress
Southern enterprise.
He added: “Let us but do this, and then every true South
ron will dwell under his own vine and under his own fig-tree,
none daring to make him afraid—permitted in peace and
prosperity to press to his heart the girl he adores, or the wife
that he loves.
A Planter’s Town Life.
Extract from the Address of Ur. Geo F. Pierce.
Another evil which tends to degrade this noble employ
ment and to cheek its progress towards perfection, is the
increasing disposition in the best portion of oui country pop
ulation to congregate in the towns and villages ot the land.
Cities I suppose are necessary, though Mr. Jefferson said,
“ a great city is a great sere.” They are created aud de
manded by commerce and manufactories. As marts of
trade, they are indispensable; and as they derive their sus
tenance and the materials and means of their industry from
the country, they benefit agriculture. But, as to these coun
try towns, I greatly doubt their utility, unless they were
made manulacturing communities. Perhaps they need a
courthouse and a jail, a lawyer, a doctor, a merchant, one
or two of each perhaps, a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a
teacher, a school house, and a , church, and nothing more.
All the rest are expletive, a burden to themselves, and too
often an injury to society, because they have nothing else
to do. The fashion on this subjeef, I think, fraught with
mischief in all its aspects and all its results. There are
many exceptions to the remarks lam about to make, but
the movement I condemn is very often the beginning of pe
cuniary ruin. A man living upon a snug plantation, per
haps superintending his own business, and making, as some
do, all he consumes, and saving a little every year, to grati
fy his wife, who wants more society, or his daughter, who
is lonesome in the country, moves to town, buys a house
and lot on credit, gets finer furniture than he had, spends
more on the dress and equipage of himself and family than
he did; in fine, apes the gentleman of leisure and fortune. In
the meantime the farm does not produce as well as former
ly ; stock is neglected, dwindles and dies; debts increase,
embarrassments multiply, and finally the sheriffs voice,as
he cries “ Going, coixg, GONE,” knells the departure of
the last remnant of his property. Or ifhis means will stand
these new and heavy drains, the man himself, unhinged in
all his habits, lounges, grows restless, discontented ; drinks
a little, to drive dull care away, gambles now and then, to
kill off a languid hour, till habits are formed that sink the
gentleman into a loafer, the man into a beast, the husband
into a tyrant and a terror. And his boys, his once inno
cent, guileless boys, where are they? Ah! where? Idle,
dissipated, vicious, with pistols in their pockets, and the
lumes of liquor in their brains, and the devil in their hearts,
—where are they ? ’Die degenerate lather cares not. The
sorrow-stricken mother knows not. YY’here are they ?
YY’hv, in all mischief, in vice, and revelry, and sin. Oh,
these towns, with their dramshops, their evil agents, and
tneir thousand snares, they ruin our sons despite our vigi
! fance, our piety, and our prayers. The plea often used to
justify these exposures is, the benefit of schools. Educa
tion cannot he too highly prized, and is worth a great deal
more than it costs. But when it can be obtained on a
cheaper terms and at lea® hazard than on the popular plan,
why in the name of economy, common sense, and prudent
policy, pursue it ? In my humble judgment it would be
cheaper and better, to engage a private teacher at eight
hundred or a thousand dollars per annum, than to abandon
the country homestead and encounter all the expenses and
liabilities of a removal and residence in town. But this ar
rangement is not imperative. I jet neighbors combine and
build a decent Academy and unite in paying the salary of a
competent instructor, and the outlay is a trifle, compared
with the advantages. The piesent tendency is operating
disastrously upon the schools and churches in all the older
counties ofthe State. The education ofthe people is now
the desideratum and the problem in Georgia. From the
beginning, legislative wisdom has experimented upon tills
subject. Commit ees and Conventions and private jiatriot
jsm have all tried to project a plan, and all hare foiled.—
The true reason of which is to be found in the fact that no
system of education, as a system, will work in Georgia.—
If the views which have been suggested could prevail with
the landholders, the neighborhood schools which they
would create, in connection with the instrumentalities al
ready at work, would go far to meet the difficulty and solve
the problem. AU the poor in the vicinity of these estab
lishments might receive instruction as a gratuity, or at a
mere nominal rate of tuition, without any lax upon private
or public tunds. And there would be this additional advan
tage to the country, that the teachers employed would he
ol a higher grade than those to whom the poor and depen
dent are generally committed.
But this emmigration from the country to the towns in
flicts this injury,—that it abandons agriculture to overseers
and to negroes; the former, however respectable as a class,
having no interest beyond their wages, and the later none
beyond their maintenance. Improvement on this plan is an
impossibility, and dilapidation inevitable. The owner’s
authority and intelligence and supervision are necessary to
develope this noble art. Agriculture, if profitable, I know
is not a pastime; but it ought not to be rejected because of
it* sweat, and du9t, and toil, as if it had no charms beyond
its gains, no pleasure beside the joy of possession, if we
expect to ennoble and elevate it, we must associate it with
science, intelligence and taste ; throw round it the attraction
of cottages, and gardens, and flower-beds, and orchards.—
The farmer's dwelling inut become the home of hospitali
ty, and knowledge, and refinement. But while the gin
house is the best house on the premises, the cotton blossom
the only flower that throws it fragrance on the air, a worm
fence—the nnsightliest thing in all the land, except the
drunkard, whose reeling jace it most resembles—the only
enclosure, who could admire a country home and a far
mer’s life ! If I were a woman I should hate cotton from
seed to lint, unless my husband would provide better forme
and niy children than he did for it. YVhen I looked at my
comfortless habitation and through the gaping cracks on
every side discerned the well framed gin house and the
towering screw, with its long arms stretched but, as if to
grasp jn all the plantation, my jealously would burn with
rage, By the way, if the ladies would deliver to their lords
some of those well timed lectures which they know so well
how to make, they might contribute to a reformation which
would beautiful the laud and greatly multiply their enjoy
ments.
I am not the advocate of show, parade, or extravagance;
I care not to see palaces or mansions, but I would like to
see neatness and ta-te presiding over all the yards, and gar
dens, and houses of our country population. The love of
tiie beautiful ought to be cultivated, not only as it may
afford gratification to the eye, but as a moral sentiment—the
friend of virtue and the foe ot vice. Home should be asso
ciated in the experience and memory of childhood with all
that is lovely and attractive,—flowers, and music, and love.
The vine over the door, the evergreen in the yard, the flow
er in the window, which so often gladdened with its hue
and its odor, the graveled walk, the sports in the garden
and the field, all consecrated by parental love and domestic
bliss, are images of purity and affection which will live like
guardian angels in the youthful heart, and amid the desola
tions of grief and age will come like ministering spirits to
revive the joys of other days and point the weary soul to
tlte heaven and home ot the departed. Home, there is
rnagic in the word, poetry in tlte sound. “ There is no place
like home” with its morning arid evening salutations ; a
shelter from the world’s bitter blast®, a halm to the chafed
and wounded heart, the blest letreat where love and friend
ship meet and mingle into bliss.
The convenient in fixtures, the tasteful in attornment, the
beautiful in architecture ought to mark the habitations of a
tree, prosperous and intelligent people. This old imperial
State, rich in ail the elements of physical greatness, dfe.in
guished by her educational enterprises and intellectual pro
gress, demands and deserves that we abate our rage for cot
ton and accumulation and begin in earnest the work of im
proving our lands and our homes. These labors and ex
penses will re-act upon each other. A productive farm ought
to be crowned with a chaste and comely residence, the pro
fits justify the expense, and the exjiense wiil increase the
value of the property. A habitation which has absorbed his
money and accommodated his wises which is identified
with the birth of his children and the dearest pleasures ol
his existence, will become precious to a man, and rather
than leave it in quest ot hetter lands, he will begin to enrich
his fields and become a resident citizen.
The improvement of Georgia ought to interest us all.—
Every citizen should take a part in YY’e owe it to civil
ization and religion, to ourselves, and our children, to make
the most and the best we can of the noble heritage of which
we are the temporary trustees. I>-t t# diffuse knowledge,
promote education, mingle the beautilul with the useful, be
virtuous, do right, be good, and while railroads multiply
and lightnings fly with the morning and evening new.*, aud
our fields grow white with cotton and stand thick with corn,
amid all our anxieties, labors and triumph* let us reinem
ber that “man liveth not by bread alone but by every word
that proceeded! out ofthe mouth ol God.” So shall Geor
gia, good old Georgia, become gieat in her pioduotions,
great in her resource^,great m her virtue*—an empire—and
her jieople, prosperous, inte.ligeni aud refined, al once her
■sovereign and her diadem.

Dcellina and llanging.—Hanging has proved, in one
instance at least, a pretty effectual discouragement of the
practice of duelling. In the Knickerbocker for April, we
fine this paragraph, forming a part of the * Editor’s Table.’
The following account of the first and lost duel in Mi.
nois, is from Ford’s history of that State, just published by
S. C. Griggs & Cos., Chicago: “The year 1820 was
signalized by the first and last duel which was ever fought
in Illinois. This took place in Bellville, fit. Clair county,
between Alphonso Stewart, and William Bennett, two
obscure men. The seconds had made it up to be a sham .
duel, to throw ridicule upon Bennett, the challenging
party. Stewart was in the secret, but Bennett, his adver
sary, was left to believe it a reality. They were to fight
with rifles ; the guns were loaded with blank cat ridges ;
and Bennett, somewhat suspecting a trick, rolled a ball
into his gun, without the knowledge of the seconds, or of
the other party. The word to fire was given, and Stew
art fell mortally wounded. Bennett made his escape ; but
two years, afterward he was arrested in Arkansas, brought
back to the State, indicted, tried and convicted of murder.
A great effort was made to procure his pardon, but Gov
ernor Bond would yield to no entreaties indiis lavor, and
Bennett suffered the penalty of the law by hanging, in
the presence of a great multitude of people. This was
the first and last duel ever fought iu the State by any of
its citizens. The hanging of Bennett made duelling dis
creditable and unpopular, and laid the foundation for that
abhorrence of the practice which has ever since been felt
by the citizens of Illinois.”
Important Decision.
W e learn that the High Court of Errors and Appeals,
Miss., a few days since, decided the very important Rail*
road Tax case, which came before them on an appeal
from the decision of the Hon. Henry Dickinson, Vice
Chancellor of the Northern District. The State Legis
lature had given to the Boards of Police, of certain
ties, power to make county subscriptions to eeiu.il! Rail
roails and to levy a tax therefor. The Board of Police,
of Marshall county, (we believe) having obtained an af
firmative vote of the people in favor of subscription and
tax, subscribed the amount proposed, and proceeded to
levy a tax to pay it. The collection of the tax was en
joined, and suit instituted to test the constitutionality of
the whole proceeding. Vice Chancellor Dickinson deci.
ted in favor of the subscription and tax, and ordered a
dissolution of the injunction and dismissal of the suit.
I he High Court, we hare, have affirmed the Vice Chan
cellor's decision, thus settling the constitutionality of tin se
county subscriptions. The decision is one of great im
portance, at very in.-tuy counties in Northern and East
