WEDNESDAY JANUARY 19, 1853.

OUR EIGHTEENTH VOLUME.Wrii ftiis number begins the eighteenhim volume of

the Efgefield Adrerliser. In atnnounocing it, we re.

frain from the usual proflessions as to what we intendto do in the way of " turning over a new leaf" &c.,preferring to be judged by the real advances we mayfind ourselves able to make from time to time. Ourthanks are due to the mass of our subscribers for theirvery liberal support, and we hereby tender the same

to them with feelings of real gratitude. Our confi-dence is strong that they will not only continue theirpatronage, but be tite means of giving us a large in-crease of subscribers. This is about all we have to

say upon the subject at present. We would indite aword to delinquent subscribers if we thought it cuttlddo the slightest good. Our attention ias been drawnto an editorial of a late Fairfield IHcerald, in whichour cotemporary proposes to publish a list of confirm-ed delinquents as well as one of paying patrons. Weare not disposed to do any thing of the kind, but as a" dernier resort" it is perhaps worth trying. We'llthink on it a week or two more.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE FOURTH CONGRES-SIONAL DISTRICT,

Ir is with a high degree of satisfaction that we are

enabled to announce confidenly to our fellow-ciii-zen.: of the Fourth District that the name of the Ilon.F. W. Picnrss is again before them for that branchof Congress in nhich lie formerly served for a periodof nearly eleven years. We thiik it barely necessaryto state (in explanation of his recent retirement fromthe field) that lie had never entered it with his ownconsent, and did not venture to suppose that so greata desire for his sers ices still existed asihas since beenmanifested. Being convinced now that a feeling olthis kind prevails in various sections, lie has nol.iamgto oppose to the wishes of those who place so kinmd ai

appreciation upon his former efrorts in their behalf;and, if chosen again to the very trying and honorableposition above indicated, will strive to do them faith-ful service.

In making this annomcement, we have but a wordor two of our own to add, and, in what we say, allintention of depreciating or underrating others is dis-elaimed. Our view of the whmle matter is, that thedaty is come when time Southern Country derhmnd's,fbr her wealfre, that the highest ability and the most

eivens-ive experience of her sons be placed in our

National Couicils. Questions of the deepest momentare arising, upon which the fate of our institutionmand the safety of our very firesides depend. We feelassured, that, while South Carolina is looking to herSouthern sisters with an earnest hope that all ofthem will be found lending to the common cause men,prepared with infrmation and fortified by experience,to meet the discussion of the highest and most ei-

barrassing propositions, they, in turn, will be expecting from South Carolina that she too will contributcher share, with a full perception of the heavy re

sponsibility that rests upon her. Under these counvictions, we are free to say that the noimination (no%%renewed,) of Col. F. W. PcKENs meets our un

qualified approval, because it is the nomination- ol

one, known for the strength of his intellect and iteripeness of his experience, not only to our Sectiorand State but to the Country at large. And, whiltnot denying to others whatever of merit may betheirs, we respectfully call upon our fellow-citizemof Newberry, Laurens, Lexington, Abbeville andEdgefield to remember the tried services and weigiwell thme pre-eminent claims of time distinguishmed ge-ntleman, whlo is now fully presented for thmeir suffragetat time election to be held on the 21st of next monmthm.One othmer retnark. Knowing this annoumncement

to be a matter of importance, and feeing that oumown observatio'ts are prompted by an honest seneof ottr duty as an humble member of time SouthCarolina Press, (and not bsy anty private partiality or

personal preference,) we request our co-temporarietin the Congressional Distriet, antd also the SouthCarolinian, to copy at an early day.

REFLECTIONS ON TIlE SPIRIT OF THE AUE,3N SEVERAL CHAPTERS.

'Cnhtr. I.Ti opinion seems to be gaining ground that the

world of man is rapidly approximating the perfectionof its destiny. There are Christians who imaginethey already perceive tihe incipient symptoms of thefulfilment of tie last grand prophecies of Iloly writ.There are philosophers n% ho exult in time belief thatthey have lived to see the dawn of that era in whichmind is to expand itself beyond its hitherto recog-nised limits and almost "1 pass the flaming bounds oftime and place." The scholar, arising from his lastlucebration, rejoices that all those intrieacies, whichfretted the patience and defied tihe ingenuity of thepast, are now made plain as time noon-day's stn anionly deplores that his occupation will soon be goneamid the broad Uf*lae of universal intelligence. Themechanic, regarding the astonishing advance of recent

improvements and the singular application of agen-cies heretofore neglected, deems that ie himself maypossibly witness tile consummation of all skill. Thepoet too, " in rapt liioft lost," beholds Parnassus ofold " with all its thousand rills," sinking into thedarkness of by-gone barbarism, while such terrestrialthings as bowers and lady-loves, as " rocks and hillsand nodding groves" and warriors in plate of mail,are swept forever from the inspired page by theethereal delights of that spirit-land which has at

length been revealed to' his sublimated soul. Andeven the poor musician, while prolon3ing with wildecstasy tile difficult strains to which the labors of hislife have been devoted, fancies himself not far re-

moved from those exalted notes to which angels listenwith rapture.Taking all things together, it is indeed a true

thoigh a trite remark that, in some respects, we livein an age of wonders. It is no less true that, in viewof these wonders, the generatioi to which we belongis inflated with the imost extravagant notions of itssuperiority to every preceding one. With a spirit ofpresimption, nearly allied to blasphemy, men dailyboast that they have drawn the lightning from on

high and niade it subservi::nt to tfieir every wish.With a feeling of pridie, akin to that which hurledangels from before tihe tlrojne of Ileaven, they vaunt

their belief that another century inay abrogate thelist of impossibilities.

" Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" said a wiseman thousands of years ago, and from that lay to thepresent the truth of the proverb has never been more

fully illustraued than in its application to these fan-tastic notions.What thouaghm the shrill whistle of the ever-work-

ing, never-tiring engine may soon startle the sium.hers of every cottager! What though the mightysteam ships dash over the ocean wave wi:h doubletheir poresent velocity ! What though time tusiness ofa tihousand is accomplished by the labor of a hun-dred ! What though the morning news of St. Peters-burg may be read in San Francisco at noon! Whatthough time wronatut may even guide a winged palacethrough the air and ride above the storm! Shallwe boast of such seemingly great achievements ofmodern civilization, while it remains a serious pro.blem whether they have not arisen upon the ruin ofthe masses? Shall we pride ourselves upon thedazling developments of power which pile high thealready well-filled coflers of the capitalist while, as a

consequence of the same, millions live and die inbeggary and dogradation 1 Shall we regard thosethigs as blessings which are, to say the least ofthem, co-evil and con-comitant with the rapid in.crease of human misery ! Shall we bow down inblind adoration of the Iron and Steam divinities ofthe day, which may at last prove to be but the offipring of Mammon and the Evil one ?

It may seem to some that we are dealing in hyper-bole while speaking thmus of thme prominent chmaractmeristics of thmis ultilitarian age. With stuch wve womuldgladly make issue upon facts and occurrences whmichitime wvorld is at thmis time winessing.

CIAIarvan 2.In is a matter of general notoriety that thte accumu.

latiomn of individual wealthm is time predominant pas-sion of our day. In time ambition of thme ra'oneyedaristocrat to outstrip his rivals in the race of gain,thmere is but little of thme milk of hmuman kimndness left.Whmile struggling for this superiority, hie thinks noth-ing of thme instruments he employs, farthmer thatn theyare absolutely essential to hii s uccess. .h is them inhie-rent nature of time pursuit in whiich lie is engaged to

Th'lis spirit of accmulation andi thmera~ge for imnveniin have arisen together and are mu-tiamlly fmosering eanch othmer. Trrue it is (anti "pity'tis, 'mis true") they are powerful agents and, thuscombiined, are bearimng " this amajestic world beforethmenm" in their sweepinig progress. Many, umanmy, alas!are time willimig victiams of their despotism, shmoumimmgpreans to their imperial marchi, even whmile nimey thmem-selves are being horne downa to time earth by thmeirsplenidid oppressors. Compared with their condtition,thme slaves of time ancient Persian monarchs were

happy--thme serfs of time mnodernm Russamn emperors areblessed. Shall we be told that the evils which we

deprecate are imaginaryi Let the statistics of thmeage decide time point.England amid the manufaicturing portion of our

Union are regarded by time world at large as thme bestexponents of modern advancement. If we look to

thme history of thme former for thme last twenty years, weare struck witht time rapidity of her progress in all time"arts oif peace." Had any one predicted time state oftimngs whichm nmow exits in time time of our grand-fathmers, lhe would have been lauighmed to scorn as a

visionmary dreamer. In mechmanics amid such otherbranches of minute sciencee as contribune to increasedlespiatchm in every departmneut of labor, more hasbmeemn tdone than for centuries before. Where quietonce held her mmonotoos sway, all is bustle andhumrry. Ini time pleasant vaies where time laborers of"nmerrie England" were wont to " turn time stubibornglebe" or " drive thmeirjocunmd teams afield," magnifi-cent factumries have arisen and thme snmoke of enginesobscures time bimue vaultmt of heaven. For thme shiep-hard's pipes and thme corn-reaper's simple melodly, thmedin of machinery has been substituted, and thme in-cessant whirring of a thousand spindles. Everystream that will hear a boat of thme most ordinaryburden, is crowded with meni eagerly hurrying to

grasp time very gleanings of thme good mothter earthand bear them on to time marts of wealth and enter-

prise. Large towns have sprung up, and cities havedoubled their dlimnsisns, whmile the whmole islandmay be said to be dlotted over with gilded palaces.Could time shtade of IHoward be permitted to revisittime scenes of his earthly labors on sonic beatitifulday, as lie beheld time thousand changes that havebeen wrought its every portion of his country, timesoul of time great phlilanthropist might burn with thmethought that what he had hoped and plead, and laboredfor, was nmow beinig effected-thmat it had become theambition, time pride and tihe glory of men everywhlereto alleviate time sufferings of humanity and "scatterplenty o'er a smilinig land." But how would his gen-eroums enthusiasm be chilled, whens in should be toldto him than all this appearancee of prosperity andi hap-piness was but as a " whitened sepulchre !" Ilowwould his noble spirit groan whmen lie should beshown thme proof that time millions of his counmtrymenwere even now in a worse condition thtan ever before.And such are tihe stubborn facts of the case-
