AUGUST GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1858.
Resumption in South < arolina.
The Charleston Courier, of yesterday, says : “It
affords u» vrest pleasure to refer to an authorised
notice, which appears this morning under our edi
torial hea<t that the susp'-nded banks of our city
have adopted a resolution to resume specie pay
ments in July next. No particular day, we learn,
ie fixed for the resumption, but we presume it will
be early in the mouth.”
Peel’s Campbell -Minstrels.
These melodists are now performing at 444
Broadway, New York, and are attracting crowds
nightly to their amusing and unique entertain
ment?. They are doubtless located for the sum
mer, and their southern friends, when they visit
New York, will he sure to find an agreeable per
formance by a visit to the Minstrels.
J-yf A rather spicy correspondence is published
hi the Nashville Daily .\< between John- Car
per and Wm. Hkmsi iiekt, (.the latter the agent of
O S. Fowi.ek' in which Mr. Cari-er desires to
have u disc 'ti with the Phrenologists, auil d<-
clar -s that he can tell as much about mental cu| a
city and peculiarity from an examination of tl e
heel of a mau, as by feeling his head. Phrenology
is pronounced by him to be a humbug, and of
course he indirectly denounces Call, Spitbzkie,
Fowi.sn, and other able advocates of tliis science.
Whether the philosophical truths which maybe
brought forward by Mr. Carpkb will dispel the be
lief in the science of phrenology, now honestly
entertained by so many persons, will he developed,
if at all, in the future. Phrenology has had en
counters with giant intellects in the past, and has
survived the angry collisions. If its principles
are based on delusive facts, there are thousands of
learned men who have not been able to perceive
thedeccption.
J-vs Wiu.iaii Husuv Herbert, a well known

schooner Virginia, Capt. Hic.brk, which arrived at
Charleston from Cienfuegos, was spoken on the

She approached the Virginia quite uear, but did
not board her.

44 The Campbell** are Coming!”
As will be seen by reference to our advertising
columns, RrusßY <fc New comb's renowned “Camp
bell Minstrels ” will commence a series of per
formances at Concert Hall on Thursday night,
a*7tl* instant. This company is well known to our
citizen* as one of the best negro minstrel compa
nies that travel. It has been much improved since '
it was Ust here, and the following notice taken i 1
from the Montgomery Advertiser, will give some i
idea of its preseul merits :
“ ‘ Jit Cumpb, Friday night was a triumph !
on the part of tins troupe. Ttie music was seraphic, j 1
the joL -s overwhelmingly funny, ami the bur- ]
lesques ludicrous m the extreme. Among the I '
many gems with which the performances abound- i '
ed, we hi tv he allowed to mention the “ AuvilCho
rus," froui It Trovitirc. Those who have listened i
to the. original opera need not be bud that it abounds '
with tile choicest melodies; but no one can con- '
ceive of tbe exactness —the es prtt music t/e with
which the “ Campbells ” render tbisexquisite cho- 1
rus. It charmed, delighted, entranced the audience; *
aud if the “ CampbeiU ” had not heretofore !
achieved a reputation unrivalled as yet in the J
world of minstrelsy, the “Anvil Chorus” alone ‘
would have secured it lor them. We might par
ticularise many other portions of Friday’s pro- 1
gramme, which drew lorth an tinbouuUed and 1
unanimous applause. We might speak of “A oung
Boh Ridley,” alia* “Young America,” a Hat “Lit
tle Bobby,” who is always received with xlwuts of
applause «sd showers of silver; but//- hat spoktu
fr himself, sad is now as, if re in the mindset’
the music loving, play-going public of Montgom
ery- he needs no further notice, for the communi
ty ha* pronounced him a decided genius. We
might sav something of “that mau” Behr—Harry 1
Lehr —“Brudder Bones”—whose little body is so J
full of too that we really fear that be will some
dav collapse aud die of cachination and good na- i 1
ture. He is nut ouiy an artist and the prince of j '
good fellows, but i like the res; of Ins brother iinn : j 1
strels) a gentleman. We might even attempt a ; 1
portrayal of Newcomb himself—Newcomb, the
original, the inimitable “A No. I”—dyspepsia .
destroying, laugh-provoking Newcomb—but out !
pen fails us—description is impossible, and, for :
once, we give it up. Ruinsey’s ratal pan. Hum- j
sey’s banjo o' > tto, Kumsey’s basso, llumsey’s j
■arrangement i f the burlesques, aud Hutusey’s
evidence of sktti ill music and builetta, are “the i
talk” in all pans of the citv. Eainor’s mag- \
u.Ucent baritone. Currier’s “harmonics,” and
artistic bowings, Frank Leslie’s tenor, (inter- j
spers.-d with that sweet and unapproachable ;
falsetto), Herman’s sax and Morrison a alt horn, !
Huntley’s exquisite fingering of the accordeon, and
Hedden'a Untieing, all combine to make these eu- i
tertaiumcuU pleasing atid profitable. But above 1
all, we take pleasure m commending “ the Camp- j
bells” t.n account of the < uU character of their j
exhibition*. Nothing is beard that the most in
noceut maiden might not listen to without the j
least cause to blush ; no double entendre, distilling i
ns insidious poison into tbe youthful ear—no piti
ttil attempt of a pitiable piutender at a still more
p<uable, pointless joke, couveyiug to the hearer :
nothing but a knowledge of the performer’s apt
ue»e in licentious repartee : none of these find a !
place among “ the Campbells.” On this account, if
u me other, they d. Sei ve a hearty support, and tbe
evidences are, judging from the cr u tied audiences
which nightly greet their advent, that they are
getting it. The performances of Friday closed
w ith tiie come Jy of 7 he Bl mlc Po-tman, the render
ing of which caused the sides of the auditors to
ache from excessive Li ugh ter. Ou Saturday night,
iU addition to the usual variety of musical and
terpsichorean exercises, the corps gave us an “ ope
ratic chowder aud pot pouri,” a description of
which we are compelled to defer until to-morrow.
We are happy to state that “ the Campbells” will
remain during this . convention i week. Those who
on urn go early, will be compelled to put up with a
standee.

Pi a correspondent in Augusta, thus
writes to the publisher of tbe Bainbridge Argus,
~ under date of May 2d :
I “ Yesterday I witnessed a very pleasing cere
:T monial. J know you would have had
you been present. At four o’clock, the children of
the Orphan Asylum formed into a procession, and
marched to the cemetery, to pay a beautiful tn
j bute to the memory of tl'ieir deceased benefactor
! '^ r Tuttle. They gathered around his
! grave, strewing it with the sweet spring flowers
blossoms he had loved so well and nursed so care
tiiil, in iife and joined their clear, young voices
in a hymn, which sounded peculiarly sweet. After
j prater, an address was delivered to the children,
ny Dr. Ford, which was neat and appropriate;
■ and a heautitul poem which I should like to see
published) was read by hitu, and which was, I be
lieve, composed fiir the occasion by some lady of
j city. 1 should like to know the author of
- those sweet verses, for they must have emanated
- from a pure heart. *
r : It is nty belief (and 1 would not part with it)
: that the spirits of the blessed ones above can look
i down upon earthly scenes. And I fancied that the
• : g f,, ‘d man, who had proven himself the orphan's
1 friend, gazed downward from his heavenly home,
j and saw with gladness how he was remembered
i by the poor aud destitute.
Flowers on a grave!—strewed there by the lov
, | ing hands of those whom one has befriended—are
' they not a sweeter tribute than the lengthy news
> paper eulogy, or the monument of marble V Is not
siieli a sweet token of gratitude more to be desired
than the trophies of the conqueror, or the laurel
wreath of the statesman ?
The cemetery here is now one of the most beau
- tiful spots in Augusta—this is as it should bo. It
is neatly laid out, and sweet (lowers—planted bv
tbe hand of affection- watered by the tears of the
] mourner, as well as the refreshing dews of heaven,
spring up on every side, and whisper “dead hut
not forgotten.” I love to see the homes of the
‘ dead well tended, and rendered pleasant and beau
i tiful, as typical of the new life upon which our lost
. loved ones hare entered. The graveyard should
be a place where the living can go and muse
quietly, not of death and the worm which revels
1 ou fairness, but of Heaven, and the joys of the
blessed !

, Right of Search.
Whilst Gen. Cass was Minister to France, a
. quintuple treaty was acceded to by England,
I France, Austria, Russia and Prussia, which in
f volved a mutual right of search. General Cass
I wrote a powerful protest against this treaty, and
the United States rejected it, as involving the sur
render of a principle we were bound to maintain ;
| but in lieu thereof, agreed to maintain a force on
the African coast sufficient to prevent the American
. flag from being abused. The principle of the Uni
. ted .States is, that the flag covers the ship wherever
! she goes. It was precisely this British assumption
of the right of search and visitation, and the refusal
of the United States to acknowledge, or in any
way submit to it, which led to the last war with
Great Britain. We had at that time scarcely a
• dozen ships of war, but the national spirit took no
counsel of prudence in the vindication of its honor,
and the result was the most astonishing series of
■aval victories that the world has ever seen.
There was s arcely a contest on the seas, siuglv
or in squadrons, in which the Americans did not
annihilate their enemies wherever they met them.
The principles then fought for they are ready to
maintain again, and if forty years have added to
the power, population amt maritime capacity 'of
Great Britain, in none of these particulars have
the United States been standing still. If we have
now a small navy, we4iave boundless materials for
building, inexhaustible naval stores, and four huu
dred thousand merchant seamen who can be trans
ferred to the decks of our ships of war, and to
those myriads of privateers which would swarm on
every sea.
We do not, however, anticipate war. The gov
ernment of Lord Derby will probably apologise
and countermand the orders issued by Palmer
ston. But that will be poor satisfaction, and will
not ensure us against a future repetition of the of
fensc.
The order of the day—stopping and searching
American vessels and apologies afterwards—is be
coming too monotonous. Let us try stopping and
searching English vessels, and apologies after
wards. If our government should order ils ves
sels in the Gulf to tire into and sink the .Siy \
wherever they meet her, the American people
would highly approve its conduct, and Great Bri
tain might charge us with that much in the general
settlement by negotiation hereafter.
It is worthy of observation, that whilst British
cruisers are picking up peaceful merchant vessels
on our own coast, under the pretence of suppress
ing tiie African slave trade, they shamelessly- con
nive at the bold aud systematic African slave traf
fic now carried on by the Emperor of the French.
One of these French slavers, the steamer Stella, a
vessel of only three hundred and eighty-three
tons, lately left the African coast, having on board
a cargo of nine hundred and fifty Africans, and it
is said tbe crew boasted of having carried off
their cargo under the very guns of an English
cruiser. Why was she not searched and visited"
Os this vast multitude, crowded into a hot little
steamer, not capable of comfortably accommodat
ing a hundred men, one-third perished before the
vessel arrived at her destination. Yet this vessel,
and others of like character, are permitted to pass
on their way unmolested, >Thilst American vessels,
loadedjjwith sugar, machinery, aud the products
of lawful and peaceful industry, are daily outraged
and abused, under the pretence of preventing "the
traffic in African slavos.
Tiie Rejected Tract.—The opponents of the
American Tract Society, in speaking of the trea
tise known as the “Rejected Tract,” (on tlie fami
ly relation as affected by slavery,) use language
which is calculated to convey the impression that
the American Tract Society offered the premium
for its production, and rejected the tract after it
had received the approbation of their arbiters.
This is very far from the truth. Tbe premium of
two hundred dollars for such a tract was not of
fered by the Society, or any one in its connection.
It was offered by ati American Abolitionist resid
ing in Scotland, and it was he who designa
ted the Committee of Awards. This commit- 1
tee (one of whom resides in Scotland), awarded
the premium to the author of the rejected tract, 1
because it was “the best production offered ;” aud
not because ihey thought it was fit to be pub- '
lished by tbe Tract Society. Indeed, one or more of
their number protested against its publication by
that Society. John Jones might offer a premium
for a suitable editorial for the Independent, leaving 1
it to several respectable gentlemen to say which I
was the best offered ; these gentlemen might make
the award to the author of the article they deemed '
the best, but such award would not be an endorse- 1
ment of the article ; much less, would it bind the
Independent to publish the production, whether its
editors liked it or not. The Rejected Tract is there- :
fore a treatise prepared entirely outside of the 1
Tract Society, and one which never received the )
approbation of any member of its publishing com
mittee. In fact, the Tract Society have no more to 1
do with this tract than the President of the United 1
States has with the letters addressed to hint by
- through the columns of the Tribune. <
