On Hie scarlet mountains yonder, Hummer lies down tn «lie ; She gnthers her robes of splendor Around her royally. lier tender, purpling mosses Pillow her royal head ; lier myriad, gentle grasses Are weeping about her bcd. It foiled, thc precious promise Ot her beauty's golden reign ; ll came, thc loss, the longing, The silence ami lite pain; .She was cruel in her splendor, She mocked us in its reign- She held her careless carnival Above our idol slain. 'Tis aol thc hnnd thal crowns us, Thc hand held out to bless- 'Tis he hand I hat robs and wrongs us, Thal we oftenest caress. Billi, O, beguiling Summer, We o'er thy beauly lean ; Thou ilidsl rob tis. yet we love I bee- Discrowned, we hail thee queen. All passionate fervor fildvd* With eyes nt last sereu«». Turned towards thy conqueror. Autumn, Thou arl "lying, 0, our queen ! All Hint thou gayest lo us, * In thy morning's gracious glow, All thou hast taken from us, Only our (led can know. Outrages in North Ctrolina. A correspondent writes to tho " Haleigh »Sentinel" from Franklin, Macon County, N, 0., September 23, as follows : His Honor Judge Shipp held court in Cherokee last week. Hut few decisions of importance were made. Thc curt had its délibérations very much disturbed, on Mon¬ day, by thc return of some noted individuals from Tennessee, by thc name of Morrow, well armed. They made nu attack on a man by tho name »if Tatham, fired a pistol at him' while on his h orso in thc net of leaving for home., thc ball missing him mid taking cll'cct in tho neck of his horse. Tatham, who, it seems, had been apprehensive of un attack, was also uruicd o,nd returned tho (ire, killing instantly one of the Morrows, mid rode off.- Thc other Morrow mounted u horse and pur¬ sued him a snort distance, but not in tho range of gun-shot. lie wheeled his horse, entne hack to whore his brother was lying dead, ami deliberately fired on a lawyer by the naur! of Hoon, killing him instil nt ly. ll o i ap po. ; to have been unarmed, not having suspected any attack.- After killing Hoon, bc fired on a man by the name of Cooper, quite a peaceable and inoffen¬ sive man not, engaged in thc affray, indicting on him two severe wounds, from which his re¬ covery is d seined doubtful, nnd .Morrow then made his escape in the direction of Tennessee, where he resides. These outrages by men from Tennessee, neting under the advice of Gov. Urownlow, who published thc opinion that it was right to kill the. rehs wherever found, and that bc would purdon the oßhnce, nro becoming too frequent to be continuel] much longer without producing a border war¬ fare much to bc deplored. A man by the nunc of Cline, residing in t'ne lower part of Jackson County, was allot down in cold blood, ti short time since, by a band of marauders from Tennessee, known as the Robert 1Îurjhfield robbert). Four of them carno to the house of Cline, a little while before dark, called him out, and pretended that they wanted a candió to count out their money.- As soou as the candle came, without saying a word, two of thom shot him-thc balls taking effect near his heart, causing instant death. Ile leaves a wife and a large number of small children to mourn his loss. Thc murderers were enabled to make their escape to thc do¬ minions of dov. Hrownlow. Another portion, including thc notable Hob burchfield himself, about thc samo time, pen¬ etrated into thc lower portion of Cherokco County, went to the houso of a Mrs. Gunter, fired upon her two sons, wounding one of them 8criously. The}', too, mudo their escapo to tho same rendezvous. Will these murderers of our peaceable citi¬ zens along thc border, as in tho days of yore, bo surrendered and turned ovor to the civil authority for trial nnd punishment? THE grading of tho Charleston city rnilwny was commenced yesterday. Tho route will bo from tho Exchange, (or old post office,) its down-town terminus, and pass up liroad to Mooting, up Meeting to Calhoun, tip Calhoun to King and through King to Shepherd street, its up town terminus.

Thc author of the letter, familiarly called " Batt. Moore," ranks KS one of the first lawyers in the United States, and hence hhs legal opinions should have great weight. W. HALMO H, Sept. 17, 180i>. Mu. RICHARD Suer..-Dear Sir : I have received yours, asking my "opinion, in n few words, whether private debts can he repudia¬ ted or not V I am greatly surprised that it is deemed necessary to ask this question, after a national existence of eighty years under the Constitu¬ tion of the United States, one clause of which declares that " no State shall pass any law im¬ pairing the obligation of contracts. Now, every man is bound to support that Constitution, aud every sentence of it. And every person who may become an officer of the State or mcminn of tho Legislature is com¬ pelled, ns a necessary qualification before ta¬ king his seat, to swear that he will support said Constitution j which bc cannot do, and will not do, if he shall pass, or try to pass, any law impairing the obligation of contracts. ICvcry law which annuls a contract or repudi¬ ates it, impairs tho obligation of a contract, and is, thorofore, unconstitutional and void. Every man who votes for it commits a perjury and lifts his hand against tho majesty and honor of his country. Surely, sir, no man in our country would, if he could, so dishonor himself or his State, as to invite all men to break their faith each with the. other, and allix a stigma on the name of North Carolina, which no time may efface. God forbid that my eyes should ever Colloid this disgrace upon thc " Old North State." Such a condition would place her lower than any people of whom wc have any account. I have answered your question, and gone somewhat beyond, but my surprise has been the cause. 1 nm, respectfully, yours, B. F. MOOTIK. P. S.-The coulta of tho United States, and of every State, have declared such legis¬ lation void. Nr.w YORK, October 10.-Thc steamship Scotia, wijh Queenstown dates to thc 7th, has arrived. The following aro the principal con¬ ditions of the treaty of peace between Austria and italy : A mutual exchange of all prison¬ ers of war; Austria consents toa union of Venetia with Italy; tho frontiers to bo added to Italy are those which constituted the ad¬ ministration of Venetia while, under tho Aus¬ trian dominion ; the. amount of debt to bc as¬ sumed by Italy is 30,000,000 florins, payable in (deven instalments in twenty-three months. An Athens despatch, dated September 29, says the French Minister Mouthier has warned tho Creek Government that Franco would break off diplomatic relations with (Jreece if thc latter did not observe the. strictest neutral¬ ity during the insurrection in Candia. The Cretans National Assembly had called on thc Creek nation to take part in the insurrection. Thc English and Kreuch Consuls in Candis arc opposed to thc movement. Sr. LOUIS, Oct. ll.-INMAN OUTRAGES -Capt. Barlow, of Gen. Sherman's stall", ar rived yesterday from Fort. Dodge, where lu saw two white girls named Poye,, ono seven teen and the other thirteen years old, who har boen ransomed from thc Kiowa Indians. Till {.'iris say, that on the 27th of August last, tin Kiowa« attacked their homo in North-weateri Texas, and killed, scalped and burned theil father. Themselves, mother and a sister cigh years old were carried off into captivity, ant treated in the most cruel and revolting man ner. On arrival at tho Indian camp, thc cap (ives were, knocked senseless with clubs, re peatedly ravished by tho fiends, and wen treated in this manner four or five times eve ry day. On hearing of their condition, th commanding officer at Fort Dodge, not havinj sufficient force to rcscuo them, effected thci ransom, and will send them to their friends ii Texas ns soon as they recover from their terri bio sufferings. Wbilo in tho Indian camp thc officers sent to arrange their ransom sat tho captives knocked down three times an violated. Gen. Sherman will bc hero ou th 10th. Thc "Democrat's" special despa.1 oh frot St. Joseph says tho latest advices from Mor tann report forty miners out of a party of sot enty-fivc in the Green River diggings wei killed hy tho Cheyonnes, and the others dril cn away. Tho miners on Wind River wot also driven off hy tho Sioux and compelled t fly to tho nearest fort for protection.

NKOHO TESTIMONY.-The " Mississip] Clarion " reports tho trial, conviction nnd soi tenco of a whito man for tho killing cf a n gm-tho conviction made on nogro tcstiinov alono. Tho sentence of Judgo Campbell full of interest. It is tho first oase In th State, and perhaps thc first in tho South, whe s whito man was conviotcd on negro tesl mony. Jefferson Davis. Wo have published the accounts of many intorviovs with ex-President^, Davis, but the following, from George D. prentice, editor of tho M Louisville Journal,Sjg#hioh he pdb- lishes in his paper, of the 5j^}psr., will be found highly interesting, jusjf.ht this time: In the course of un «uter\M^^^|¿í^^ádg with Jeff. Davis, in JanuarggflKfy;: thc sub- of the (.erins of peace was ifóroduocd. Mr. Davis »shed us what was thé*phicf¡ objection of thc North to the recogùKpp of Southern independence. Wo amswcrSfthnt thc North knew perfectly well, as uuqjStionahly he did, that if she would lay down »pr arms and con¬ sent to a division of tho Utmn into two con¬ federacies, she herself woulçHcry soon be dis- solv J; that State after StgBp--States sirgly ,,aiid States combincdly-wogn'secedc. and the whole North be split up insKfjetty powers, or no powers, all of them cqlsjmiptiblc in the eyes of mankind, and not Cußratf them willing or able to contribute to trfldjffipnyment of the national debt. Mr. DaviaJBRplied, with his el oracterislic calmness, tKWffiiis was certain¬ ly true, but that the sainfflBftng would hap¬ pen, and probably happen ¿OMnOsooner, if tb,o North should continue to "T-VOROiMite thc war. We thought, ni tho time.'T-^t Mr. Davis was greatly mistaken, and toltt^ht!!) so. Wc still trir-t that we were correct.Jil our estimate of the character of his opinión; but josi now we eau i minkie no over eonlidi&Oé that wc were. The North continued to.¿prosecute the war, and the South, alter th CY« bravest nod most desp< rate resistance k-oowi' tn war's annals, wt s eom|uercd. Put nfflBBmes thc North's trials. Now we are to seethe test of her in¬ ternal strength. If, out of the dreadful war bet ween the North and thç.'South, a Northern civil war arises; if Northeim armies mardi against each other, vengeance before them, and blood and death nn<JicVjS's'ert behind, many Northern States will vory'soón weary and sick¬ en of thc horrid work, f.t.ui'-'.riU.probahly ad .pt secession, as the s u rQjWlgV't ''<( td uk est remedy fully relying utxtn tmWp^L^htv troubles and perils of thc Fedora! tiON-eVutiienl as ii perfect security against coercion. Most, likely thc North-western States will go off first, repu dinting, of course, their proportion of thr public debt, and thus piling higher tlx monstrous financial burden upon the sholl! ders of the remaining States. These wil have neither thc will nor tho ability tc bea" up undo! the crushing weight, and st others will secede, and then others, till thc whole North shall be divided up into sucl poor, little, non-debt paying, feeble mock na tionalities, us a citizen of one of thc Mexioat States, or of thc South American Repub lies, pr of one bf thc petty, miserable Ger mau principalities, might look upon with con tempt and scorn. Jeff. Davis' declaration ti us ns to thc consequences of thc war to tin North, if prosecuted, will bo nmply vindica ted, and whatever resentments, if any lr cherishes against thc North, will bc nbun dnntly satisfied. We tell tho Northern fanat ics-as a lover of our whole country, wc sol cundy tell them-that, unless madness ha seized upon their hearts and brains, they wil mit insist on pushing the dissensions bet wee the President and Congress to tho lightin point. They may rest assured that if th light comes, it will be to them such an one n they have no account of in either history c tradition. Th«y will find it an infinitely ai feront thing from thc war of tho rcbellioi dreadful ns that w»~ throughout all its annal: They will fiod themselves a divided peoph divided almost equally, divided and mutuall hostile, whilst tho whole population of tl: South will be a unit, able to strike for thc friends, or stand afar from tho flash, thc erac and tho roar of war, as may seem best to then The thick cloud now enveloping thc Sout may bc partially lifted ; bul night and storn surcharged with bloody ruin, will close ovt thc North.

ALMOST A PROPHECY.-Thc "Nation; Intelligencer" says: Mr. Calhoun, as f¡ hack as 1837, proclaimed a groat truth whe ho said : " Emancipation itself would not satis! theso fanatics ; that gained, tho next stt would bc to raise tho negroes to a social on political equality with thc whites, and that b ing effected, wo should find tho present coi ditton of tho two races reversed. They ar their northern masters would bo tho lüttster and wo tho slaves ; tho condition of tho whi race in the British West India Islands, ns bi ns it is, would bo happiness to ours. The tho mother country is interested in sustoinit thc supremacy of thc Europoon woe," If Mr. Calhoun had been a prophet ho cou not moro exactly have predicted what is nt taking pluto. [From thc Morion Crescent.] Tea- In addition to the culture of clover and oth¬ er grasses, in thc North and Wost, we have tho prospect of having another plant «f uni¬ versal use, brought into successful cultivation on thc light lands of thc South. An article on tho oultivalion of tea in Georgi«, hy Mr. \V. Jones, of Liberty county, On., una pup- lishcd in the "Southern Cultivator," is worth moro to tlx suffering South than all the speeches of politicians. Augustus Ciesar paid Virgil a sum which made him rich, besides rendering him the benefits of his imperial patronage for writing his Georgies, in order to stimulate the Romans to cultivate thc soil.- Ile did great service to bis country by this ef¬ fort, and acquired immortal fume j but Mr. Jones will bc thc nut) r of a grouter good tu our beloved South, if bc can induce our far¬ mers to employ thc wide extent of our light and most useless lands in supplying a whole¬ some beverage to our people, by which they will not only save their money, but increase their incomes to a degree which will in a few years compensate them for all their misfor¬ tunes. He proves that four hundred pounds of tea can be raised on an nero of laud, which,, acc'/iding to his description, wc would not ex¬ pect to produce len bushels of corn without manure, lie snys, ** all thc lands of Middle Georgia and the Carolinas, which arc now con¬ sidered of little value for corn or cotton, ran bc made available and grow tea to great ad¬ vantage. All the hill sides that are so much washed ns not to produce grass enough to cov¬ er the soil from view, can bc made to produce handsome returns to the planter." In theso regions, where the land is worn out, thc cul¬ tivation of colton will decrease. Thc neces¬ sity of manuring to produce cotton will leave much land uncultivated, and this cnn bc plan¬ ted in tea, which " requires but little field culture." Hut rend his article and bc con¬ vinced, ns wc arc, that wc can make our usual crops of corn and cotton and with but little additicnn.l labor, make a crop of tea, which would, by itself, make a farmer independent. The information contained in the October number of thc Cultivator is like n ruy of hope from above, and demonstrates that wo ore about to emerge from thc gloom of our poverty and exhaustion, and become by a change in our agricultural and farming opera¬ tions, a happy and prosperous people. " In man's most dark extremity oft succor dawns from Heaven." FREEDMEN'S ZOUAVE OUOANIZATION.- Yesterday a number of freedman, who. had formed themselves into a Zouave organiza¬ tion, made their appearance on our streets in full Zouave uniform, red cap, blue jacket, red brccchas, white legging and low quarter shoes. Thc oflicers wore Zouave shoulder straps aud. side arms. Thc combination of fancy colors presented such a strong contrast ns to excite considera¬ ble curiosity and remark. It was generally believed, however, by thc uninitiated of our citizens that they belonged to some company of United States colored soldiers rcccutly ar¬ rived at this post. After assembling about seventy in number, they marched to thc Citadel, where some of their colored female friends were in waiting to present them with a beautiful banner. An officer at headquarters had been requested to act as spokesman. On the arrival of the pro¬ cession they were received by an officer with an order from General Scott for the arrest of those wearing shoulder straps and side-mas, in violation of General Orders of thc Pop:¡rt- ment, which prohibit military organizations of any kind in this State. Thc officers of thc Association were then escorted into the parade ground, where they were deprived of all their illegal military in¬ signia, and were allowed to retire wheu tho Company was dismissed. [Charleston Courier, \$>lh. MANUFACTVUFS.-Let it be kept before thc people that thc way to save fifteen dollars on every five hundred pounds of cotton, is tn manufacture cotton where it' is grown ; and to nianufucturc cotton in South Carolina is to qundruple its value to thc State. As tho " Charleston News," in one of its able article« justly observes, thc cotton mill has boen tho moans of building up the largest fortunes in tho world. Old England and New England owo much of their great wealth to this cause, and what may n^t South Carolina-what maj not Columbia with her magnificent water pow cr do in following tho same pursuit. Georgi! and Alabama aro pushing forward in thc good work. Tho Augusta, (Ga.) factory has just declared its third quarterly dividend of fiv< per cent. Let us not bo behind hand.
