My dear sir.I have labored long and faithfully to preserve and perpetuate the Federal Union of oar fathers. Hut the systematic; long continued and oft repeated aggressions or the non-slaveholdiug States upon the constitutional rights of the South, the sectional character of those affirreirated assaults; together with the oo o . openly avowed and advancing de term mat km of a despotic majority to overturn and abolish our institutions .to which might hcsuperadded various other determined violations of the federa! compact, all of theso causes, coinhiued, compel me to consider the existing political disease of our country incurable.

Cutiibeht. Memvhis and Charles/on Juiil Unti l. . We have just risen from the perusal of the report of Mr. Caruett on the above enterprise. As Chief Engineer he has been singularly fortunate in tracing a route from Crow Creek, on the Nash-1 ville Road, via Huntsville, Decatur, Tuscumhin anil La Grange, to Memphis, ol easy grades, cheap iu construction, and so located as to reconcile the contlicting interests of the Valley of the Tennessee. Availing himself of the Tuscumhin Railroad, both sides of that noble stream will he accommodated, and the largest area of fertile North Alabama made tributary to the Road. It should he a source of high^rati/ication to Charleston, that the Road is not only associated with its name, hut that there is every prospect now of its certain completion. It is 110 new enterprise to us. The sagacious nunc! oi our tnnoir, woo cariv loresnauoweu the importance of more intimate relations between our South Atlantic ports, thirty years ago designated this as the most advisable route to the Mississippi. The Nashville and other en- terprises for a time overshadowed it, and diver- ted the public mind from a work which seems now to have awakened with new vigor, and to have received the stimulus which competition is sure to impart. Its talented and energetic President, (Jen. Jones, the late CJovernor ol Tennos*.-e, lias not slumbered, nor has he put; s shoal I er« to the work without efleet, fn i Sew Orleans lie hits removed tlie prejudices adverse to the tapping of the Mississippi with Railroads, which once prevailed, and that ciiy, with a large portion of the States of Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama, are now looking with deep iiitcrcstato this connection with the Atlantic. Charleston cannot he indifferent to a connection with the Father of Rivers, accessible at all seasons, ami at a point so imposing as to have been selected as a site for a Naval Depot. Few can calculate the iulluence this road must have on the commercial prosperity of Chat lestou, and it is to he hoped that her citizens will not wait for appeals to contribute their mite to the great work.

The eyes of the woild are turned to South Carolina.are fixed on Charleston. The State of things here is curious. The people, to a man almost, admit that the wrongs heaped upon us are sufficient to justify secession. But the dark and diomal future appals some of our weaker brethren. " The grass will grow in the streets!" is whispered on the cor- ners, and "the grass will grow in the streets, is nlausahlv asserted by a certainly very respec- table and honorable body of honest, ojien-liearted submissionists. This candor demands and excites respect; and for ourselves, though we have no insurmountable repugnance to a quiet dish of greens, provided they be grown in the free atmosphere of State Bights, aud infinitely prefer them to the richest federal feast that could be served before me; yet every allowance must be made for those to whom nature has given a weaker stomach than ourselves This is common charity. Secession has Affected the head, aud the result is Nebuchadnezzar s : ''The grass in the streets.

The "higher law" party are evidently on increase at the North. Ohio has just elected a 'higlier law" Senator in the person of Mr. Wade and the Lower House of her Legislature has passed a hill similar in its scope and purpose, to the nullification act of Yorniout. New York has elected Mr. Hamilton Fish, Mr. higher law Seward's friend and candidate, to the Senate. The time seems hastening on when the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia will he called upon to redeem their pledges, and become a disunion party. Yet this latter very patriotic party seems at present absorbed in the amiable business ol.abusi.iig and denouncing their .*1 C*.iikiwlj ua Iffiilnra ?i m I i li -itlil.

Webster, l-illinoro and other first rate Constitutional and union men at the North, were foremost ami mo&t edicient in putting this antislavery excitement in motion and keeping it up lor the purpose of overwhelming the Northern Democrats who stood manfully up lor Southerner rights.

I visited, the other day, the stuJio of Clarke .Mills, to witness the progress which lie has made in the equestrian statue of Jackson. The model of die horse is now complete, the reins having been added, anil nothing can lie more spiited and true to nature. It will he cast in bronze early next month. A portion of the figure of Ceueral Jackson lias been cast, and the whole work will soon be completed. It is intended that the monument shall he placed oti its pedestal i:i Lafayette Square early in JulyIt will be truly a great work, ami highly creditable to the arts in this country.more so, perhaps, than any production that has yet appeared from any Aineiicau artist. The statue is one third larger than life, and will weigh thirty-live thousand pounds. The height of the head from the ground will be thir ty feet high. It will be noticed that the size of the statue is about the same with that of Peter tiie llreat, at St. Petersburg.a statue which was the work of nineteen years. Mr. Mills will have executed his statue in four years, after having been delayed eight months by the want of metal. The monument is made from some old condemned brass cannon belonging to the Government.some of which are trophies taken at Waterton. The five pieces of cannon taken by General Jackson at Pensacola, are to surround the base of the monument, having been granted ny congress lor uiai purpose, i wo uf them have the motion of " Vud tte Itcgis fit Iiniwi." One which hears date, 1773, has an inscription on the trunnion, showing that it was made from copper from .North Ann rica. Mr. Mills finds time to execute many olaister casts and also hosts in marhle, in all which he has heen signally successful. Mr. 1'owor says that he prefers win king after Mr. Mills' casts to those of any other artist. The statue of Mr. C'nlhomi was cut from Mr. 5liib cast.

Before he had time to fix the instrument for the other tooth, (the first tooth,) Pat had got out the chair, ami was edging towards the door.

The attendance of the country members are particularly invited, as there will be business of importance before the meeting. Our Court Commenced on Monday last, Judge Wethers Presiding. The numlxjr of cases on the several Dockets were small, but several of thpm of considerable length, and of a tedious character. On Tuesday last, Samuel J. Love was arraignJ ed for the murder of Robert J. Lester Nearly the entire day was consumed by this case, it being one of great interest. The State was represented by her faithful and excellent officer, Mr. Solicitor Fair. The defence wus conducted with great ability by Messrs. Smart and Shannon. An able charge was delivered to the Jury by his Honor, and the Jury after being out for nearly twenty hours, returned a Verdict of Guilty, accompanied by a recommendation to mercy. Notice of an appeal has been given by the Defence. On Thursday, Samuel Wilson Love, the father ofSamuel J. Love, who was also indicted for aiding and abetting his son in the murder of Mr. Lester, was tried by the same Jury, and defended by the same Counsel, ilu was acquitted upon this verdict. We find the defendant 6'amuel W. Love, guilty of excusable Homicide. The Court will likely occupy the whole week. The Concert. Wna watt attniiJt.H last Iliirllt. We do UOt TO- collect of having ever seen a better audience in Camden, and we feel sure not one was disappointed. Signor Bochsa as a Pianist, charmed us, but it was to her of burning tones, who sends their echoes upon her looks, that every heart beat responsively. And whether in " Casta Diva," or "John Anderson my Joe John," "On the Banks of the Guadalquivcr," or the " .Mexican Girl.". We were most charmed, we cannot decide.but we could not help repeating to ourselves the idea of" Quaint old Izaak Walton." If God has given us such music on Earth, what has he reserved for us in Heaven I How glorious it would be to hear Madame Bishop sing" Auld Robin Gray," and her great piece of " Hail Columbia," My Home my Home--my Happy Home," and "My Father Land." If we could only suggest. Signor Novelli has also arrived, and will add much to the entertainment to-morrow evening.

P. We are glad to learn that our Senator, Mr. Butler, will address the Southern liighft Axxo- rial ion at its next meeting. His moderation and wise prudence induce the belief that his advice will tend to allay the ferment in the public mind, throughout the State. Here, it will sene to confirm the already settled sentiment, almost universally prevalent against separate State action. Besides, the meeting will, no doubt, lay down a platform for the approaching Convention of Delegates; that being approved, the action of the State Convention, should it ever meet, will before known. We con.-i Jer it fortunate for the State, that the Senator will be pre- scut, and equally fortunate til it the Convention of Delegates meets in Charleston. In our opinion, the meeting of Monday next, will determine the future course of the State. X T h ! above is one of the most miserable strokes of fidicy that we ever remember having seen.. We have heard it hinted that there will be an effort made at the Convention in Charleston, to teach the State how to back oul, gracefully. And now we see it embodied, by this correspondent X, of the Courier, who, from his sentirae.its, we fairly supposed to be, if not the old Hessian X, of the Baltimore Sun, perhaps, at least his Son. We are glad, too, that in that Convention, we will meet our gallant Senator Butler.and glad too, that we will meet him, not as one of the timid u watch and waiters,".not as one of the X brotherhood, but as a devoted Southern Rights, and Slale action Patriot. We suppose, and have supposed, that the feeling against" separate State Action," iu Charleston, is the strongest.and why ? Simply on account of the number of exolic Yankees that have domicilled themselves there, and to gain popular favor, many 8 lUthern men, are obliged to smother their better fueling, or lose that vote, f'ome are atraia mm hi case ui tcptuaic State action, they will lose dollars.the very reason why Foote sold himselft j the North.an'd the reason, we Tear why many South Carolinians oppose separate State action. Ask them the reason why they oppose it, they will tell yon, we have grievances enough.but it will ruin us.44 the grass will grow in the streets of Charleston," which in plain language, means this." I now make by my trading, one thousand dollars.if we secede, I shall not be able to make more than five hundred." Some of our Southern Representatives conld not make a Federal office, and high emoluments.but had to be content with eight dollars per day.but by selling themselves to the North, they could make an office which would give them a position and sixteen dollars per day. Now, we challenge any man to show us the difference between the two. But X says that the meeting ol next Monday in Charleston," will determine the course of the State." Indeed ! and we suppose by that, that the State is tied to the skirts of Charleston, and must nolens rolens, follow in her train. This is the first intimation we have had of it.and will hare to see something of a more ina terial nature, before we believe it to be the case No! If Charleston supposes that in the Convention to assemble in May next, she will commit the State to submission! Bah! And if X supposes that iiis ferler, can convert Senator Butler to M watch and waitism," we hope to have the pleaaure of seeing him very much disappointed. CAMDEN PRicES CURRENT.

Memvhis and Charles/on Juiil Unti l..Wehave just risen from the perusal of the report ofMr. Caruett on the above enterprise. As ChiefEngineer he has been singularly fortunate intracing a route from Crow Creek, on the Nash-1ville Road, via Huntsville, Decatur, Tuscumhinanil La Grange, to Memphis, ol easy grades,cheap iu construction, and so located as to reconcilethe contlicting interests of the Valley ofthe Tennessee. Availing himself of the TuscumhinRailroad, both sides of that noble streamwill he accommodated, and the largest area offertile North Alabama made tributary to theRoad. It should he a source of high^rati/icationto Charleston, that the Road is not onlyassociated with its name, hut that there is everyprospect now of its certain completion.

its pedestal i:i Lafayette Square early in JulyItwill be truly a great work, ami highly creditableto the arts in this country.more so, perhaps,than any production that has yet appearedfrom any Aineiicau artist.The statue is one third larger than life, and

will weigh thirty-live thousand pounds. Theheight of the head from the ground will be thirty feet high. It will be noticed that the size ofthe statue is about the same with that of Petertiie llreat, at St. Petersburg.a statue whichwas the work of nineteen years. Mr. Millswill have executed his statue in four years, afterhaving been delayed eight months by thewant of metal.The monument is made from some old condemnedbrass cannon belonging to the Government.someof which are trophies taken at

Waterton. The five pieces of cannon takenby General Jackson at Pensacola, are to surroundthe base of the monument, having beengranted ny congress lor uiai purpose, i wouf them have the motion of " Vud tte Itcgis fitIiniwi."One which hears date, 1773, has an

inscription on the trunnion, showing that it wasmade from copper from .North Ann rica.

There will he a meeting ot tne aoutnern ivigm.-,

Association for Kershaw District, at the Court

House, to-morrow at 12 o'clock. The attendanceof the country members are particularly invited,as there will be business of importance before the

meeting.Our Court

Commenced on Monday last, Judge Wethers

Presiding.The numlxjr of cases on the several Dockets

were small, but several of thpm of considerablelength, and of a tedious character.On Tuesday last, Samuel J. Love was arraignJ

ed for the murder of Robert J. Lester Nearlythe entire day was consumed by this case, it beingone of great interest. The State was representedby her faithful and excellent officer, Mr. SolicitorFair. The defence wus conducted with greatability by Messrs. Smart and Shannon. An able

charge was delivered to the Jury by his Honor,and the Jury after being out for nearly twentyhours, returned a Verdict of Guilty, accompaniedby a recommendation to mercy. Notice of an

appeal has been given by the Defence.On Thursday, Samuel Wilson Love, the father

ofSamuel J. Love, who was also indicted for aidingand abetting his son in the murder of Mr. Lester,was tried by the same Jury, and defended by

the same Counsel, ilu was acquitted upon thisverdict. We find the defendant 6'amuel W.

Love, guilty of excusable Homicide. The Court

will likely occupy the whole week.

The Concert.Wna watt attniiJt.H last Iliirllt. We do UOt TO-

collect of having ever seen a better audience in

Camden, and we feel sure not one was disappointed.Signor Bochsa as a Pianist, charmed us, but

it was to her of burning tones, who sends theirechoes upon her looks, that every heart beat responsively.And whether in " Casta Diva," or

"John Anderson my Joe John," "On the Banks

of the Guadalquivcr," or the " .Mexican Girl.".

We were most charmed, we cannot decide.butwe could not help repeating to ourselves the idea

of" Quaint old Izaak Walton." IfGod has givenus such music on Earth, what has he reserved for

us in Heaven I How glorious it would be to hear

Madame Bishop sing" Auld Robin Gray," and her

great piece of " Hail Columbia," My Home myHome--my Happy Home," and "My FatherLand." If we could only suggest.Signor Novelli has also arrived, and will add

much to the entertainment to-morrow evening.

We are glad to learn that our Senator, Mr.Butler, will address the Southern liighft Axxo-rialion at its next meeting. His moderationand wise prudence induce the belief that his advicewill tend to allay the ferment in the publicmind, throughout the State. Here, it will seneto confirm the already settled sentiment, almostuniversally prevalent against separate State action.Besides, the meeting will, no doubt, laydown a platform for the approaching Conventionof Delegates; that being approved, the actionof the State Convention, should it ever

meet, will before known. We con.-i Jer it fortunatefor the State, that the Senator will be pre-scut, and equally fortunate til it the Conventionof Delegates meets in Charleston. In our

opinion, the meeting of Monday next, will determinethe future course of the State. XT h ! above is one of the most miserable strokes

of fidicy that we ever remember having seen..

We have heard it hinted that there will be an effortmade at the Convention in Charleston, to teachthe State how to back oul, gracefully. And now

we see it embodied, by this correspondent X, ofthe Courier, who, from his sentirae.its, we fairlysupposed to be, if not the old Hessian X, of theBaltimore Sun, perhaps, at least his Son. Weare glad, too, that in that Convention, we willmeet our gallant Senator Butler.and glad too,that we will meet him, not as one of the timidu watch and waiters,".not as one of the X brotherhood,but as a devoted Southern Rights, andSlale action Patriot. We suppose, and have supposed,that the feeling against" separate StateAction," iu Charleston, is the strongest.and why ?

Simply on account of the number of exolic Yankeesthat have domicilled themselves there, andto gain popular favor, many 8 lUthern men, are

obliged to smother their better fueling, or lose thatvote, f'ome are atraia mm hi case ui tcptuaicState action, they will lose dollars.the very reason

why Foote sold himselft j the North.an'd thereason, we Tear why many South Carolinians opposeseparate State action. Ask them the reason

why they oppose it, they will tell yon, we have

grievances enough.but it will ruin us.44 the

grass will grow in the streets of Charleston," whichin plain language, means this." I now make bymy trading, one thousand dollars.if we secede,I shall not be able to make more than five hundred."Some of our Southern Representativesconld not make a Federal office, and high emoluments.buthad to be content with eight dollarsper day.but by selling themselves to the North,they could make an office which would give thema position and sixteen dollars per day. Now, we

challenge any man to show us the difference betweenthe two. But X says that the meeting ol

next Monday in Charleston," will determine thecourse of the State." Indeed ! and we supposeby that, that the State is tied to the skirts of

Charleston, and must nolens rolens, follow in hertrain. This is the first intimation we have had ofit.and will hare to see something of a more ina

terial nature, before we believe it to be the case

No! If Charleston supposes that in the Conventionto assemble in May next, she will commit theState to submission! Bah! And if X supposesthat iiis ferler, can convert Senator Butlerto M watch and waitism," we hope to have the pleaaureof seeing him very much disappointed.
