''"GmentAeSreensooro' Guard :
It in lordly ecMsary1 fr me to itll you
thit I feel much unaff- ctea cmbarraisrnent,
on ' this interesting occasion. A you are a
wtre, the design of having an address to-day
was but very lately matured ; and just three
days ago your public spirited and excellent
Captain notified me that I was expected 10
be ihe b a or.
Jitderjordiitary circumstances a man can
think over a good deal in three days : but if
he be a modest man or a diffident man, it
will take him half that time to rally himself

Xou, as gallant men, feel it to be your es
pecial dti'y to ?ppear in your best trim when
! the ladtesare spectators of your parades ;
and,!, feel ns myself to be as gallant in this
regard as the best soldiemmong you, would
be glad to grace my offerings to day with ihe
.finest flowers of rh etoric.
But mycold and barren fancy will not bud j
and blossom i' a moment even tno warmea
by such a sua of beauty as now irradiates this
house; and indeed such h fluepces have a
tendency to confuse and confound rather than
to inspire prof und it interesting thoughts.
On this account I could not trust myself to
ah ex tempore effort: I feared that before
such a brilliant array as is here presented,
rny militia forces wo;iJd break and scatter in
every direction. To secure my has ily ga h
ered ideas, I havejhii them on parwr ; and
if I read them, I'm sure you will excuse
me. ; I
' Gentlemen, you are the soldiers of peace.
You are part of art establishment based- on
its blessed principles ; and very appropriate
; ly your company sprang into existence on
a day sacr d to that holy cause. This is
the anniversary of your exis'ence as th sol
diers of peac ; and it is ih anniversary of
the biith of Washington. Its annua! return is
calculated tto awaken many amotions ; and
it would be difficult for a true patriot and a
devout friend o: human progress 10 express
his feelirigs on such an occasion.
, . For nearly six thousand years the world
was without one pure patriot; for nearly
six thousand years our race had been ma
king progress before it produced a soldier
without ambition, a statesman without guile,
a ruler who pref-r.dto live under equal laws
rather tha . be the law himself.
vcru iwmu iui , iuiuuii citvr lung
years of injustice and misrule, of fraud and
force, his expected coming shed a hope in
the hearts of men And often it seemed
that he had come ; but thy who ran to meet
him and laid offerings at his feet were smote
with iron rods and d livered into bondage.
Still this hope gathered strength, and the
race advanced in ihe attributes of him who
eame to redeem it trom us fa'len esiate.

Eden" and there he put: man, formed in his

ness. But ho was temp ed and fell, and his
estafe forfeited; a d wjth a curse upon his
head he was driven from Paradise. West
ward his face was set; and westward his
Children were s'ill driven, leaving their pa-
icrnai estate, tne nappy mansion of then
father behi d.
Westward, still westward they continued
1o go ;; but though they were ever leaving
their ancestral abode still farther in threai
they were all the time doming nearer to the
condition which man o .ce tber enjoyed.
Their exile was desiand to chas en," soften
and -purify tb ir corrupt, d natures; and at
each remove, interd of dragging a heavier
chain, th. ir yoke became easier and their
burdens lighter. Stil! onward t'.ev went in
their pilgrimage, forbid to look backward or
turn back, the Av nger pursui g at their
heels, but ihey carried a Covenant with them
and they often stopped to read, and scan and
study its promises. J
Thus i hey fled until they reached the
shores of ihe Great Western or At ar.Uc
Occur; ancjoni's borders they multipied
and increased i-. comfort and knowledge.
But the spirit of Cain still pressed upon and
courgeu mem ; and then thev took shipping,
and wiih their covenant and i s promises
bade adieu to eastern land, committing th- m
lelves. and their hopes to the wid sea, strv
ang;weii-ward though nothing but the black
water was before them. They found land,
anew world of primeval forests; and her
their hopes grew brighter, and their hearts
stronger while iheir minds' expanded ' with
acur ideas and happier fancies. But the op
ppewidr still pursued and overtook them And
, Ihej looked again to b driven Westward to
and tb'ir expected champion and theic res
ting place. JJut'he arose in their mlHei . .i
ihey prepared to stand'their ground and - to
fight here the battle ofr liberty and of ri-ht.
They heard arid heeded a word to which
fcurnaa ear had been strangers since the
tnte. between Adam's sons ; they received
nd ch-rished a counter charm greater than
-that "divide and ?ovfrn" maxim which
; nee the days of Nimrod, had worked such
wonders for kings and politicians. That
precious secret, (hat potent talisman was the
word Uaicnit blended the hearts of the
t00imon p ofde intact- mighty heart.whose

whole country ; it embodied the justim

The mission of Washington was fulfiltiMil
he laid asid the sword and the insnrnia of
power, he enthroned law in the seat of jus
tice, in the seat which he himself had filled
and resigned, and he bowed to it and hailed
has his ruler, and the ruler of all; God's
only Vice-gerent on eaiih.
The hone of humanity was reached its
Washinston had come a-d as he descended j
into the grav he called his foliow-rs about
him and gave them his parting blessing and
his dying counsel. He told them how much
thev had gaird and how they nad gain d
it; "and he told thorn how they could retain
the blessings they had achieved.
His eye surveyed the extent, the beauty
and greatness of the country which had been
partially r deemed from the curse pionoun
c d on Adam earnestly and affectiona'dy
gazed at the busy and happy threiigs that
watched for his last benediction and his
heart swelled within htm as he solemnly ut
tered ihe last promptings of his patriotic
spirit, "be united and free!" and then passed
forever from the aode of mortals.
So far we have obeyed his injunction and
inherited his blessing. The wilderness has
riven way to fields and meadows and gar
dens ; cit es and towns and village cover all
the haunts of the dorr and buffaloe our
rivers are crowded with ships and boats
our peop'e fly from province to province on
the wings of steam our thoughts and wishes
are communicated to our Iriends scattered all
over this fair land, by the viewless! messen
gers of the clouds. We are thrifty we are
free we are increasing with amazing rapid-i-y
in strength and substance and comfort.
In the midst of our abundance we are secure
we are sover- ign, owe allegia ce to no
m m, and pay tribute to no man. We make
laws to suit ourselves we fight no man's
battles we reap where we sow, and go whi
ther we list. A healihy, vigorous, and in
trepid humani'y has sprung from and lak n
the place of the d'seased a-d bruised bodi s
that ofl d ihe eye in other lands ; and it
has spread its thrifty branches to the limits
of the contiut nt.
! I said that at each remove of our race from
its bir; h p'ace, i'8 condition was improved
that from the beginning of its exile it had
been slowly regaining some of the precious
things lost by the grand shipwreck of A !am.
Modern science has r-vealed another fact ;
we now know that in our progress westward
we h ive been in fact on the road a long
and weary one it has b en but wo have ac
tually been on the road to the east. And
now from the borders of the Western Sea the
children of Washing' ot extend to the South
ern or Pacific ; and just b-yond ihis Pacific
is the East, the starting poii.t. We have ar
rived in view of this our first abode ; we have
made the circuit of the earth in exile, and
are now approaching the pawrnal hearh
redeemed, regenerated and disentitled.
Happy and proud, rpct and hoperul, ihe
children of Adam gaze across the Pacific,
upon the scenes of their father's glory and
dissrace ; and with free limbs, and renovated
hearts and joytul recollections of " perils past,
of dangers overcome, and crimes expiated,
hail the old ances ral home. Nature tht re
still glows in all hr ancient glories; thre
ar still the gold n skies, the spicy groves
and the unfading flowers of Paradise. But
a brooding curs' infects th- air; th- flowers
still bear the stain of Abel's b'ood. And
th- y who have lingered there are still bran
ded with ihe macka- of Cain death, moral
death, still hovers over and about ihem and
ihe dreaidful doomvpronounced on the first
sinning man and wotnan, has with aggrava
ted horrors, been their constant portion.
But now, from the east of them a light daw
ned upon them from them the light of
christi nity has aawned upon their Jong, long
night of gloom. And with the name of Christ
and the christian's hop- comes a new name;
and it is whispered in the dungeons ai-d cas
tles, in the dens ot wre chedness and the
palaces of p ide. It kindl s an unwonted
glow in the with-red heart of philan'hopy
it strings the i ervel. ss arm of p.trotism
and awakens a new song on the lips of eas
tern bards.
Like the shadow of a great rock in a wea
ry land, it is a refuge and a comfort; and
they who have heaid it look out and are a
mazed. They see a sil nt coas. .become
uddenly alive with a new and no sy and
bustling race of p ople, building cities.cover
ingthe wat-rs with traveling palaces, foun.l
inggreat States, and admi itering justice
and keeping or-ier without the aid of armies
or of soldi rs. And they see among these
people men with something of the erect bear
ing and majestic presence of Adam, and wo
men in whose faces shii e glimpses of tha1
spiritual light, of those morning hues which
graced the first mistress of Eden.
There are the p ople who cherish that
name which has awakened hope in the Eat,
tlie p op!e in whose h. arts is engraved the
great name of Wash 'ngton. In ihe centre
of their country stands the city called for
him ; and from it, to the remotest ex'remes
oi that extended country, radiate law and
justice, protecting, governing and support
ing a'l ihe vast multitudes of people s who
cover that wide country with the improve
ments, the comforts, convenience and orna
ments of arts and science.
And over them floats a meteor flag which
none dare insult or touch with irreverent
hands ; a flag which on the Andes and Him
malayh mountai in the deserts of Arabia
and in Uit polar wastes, renders, secure from 1
the hostile or p und ring hand of man, sav.
age or civilized, al! ,who repose beneath it.
It is a charmed flag : on its starry folds m
fixed a charm more, powerful than ever ad-

It is the word which made us free it is the
word Wh.ch has led us to glory ana to pow
er it is the ever-blessed, the all-powerful
the all-conquering word UNION. '
E pJuribus unum, that is its motto ' one
out of many, that is the talismanic sentence
which pro ects the American citizen the
citizen of the United States, in all quarters
of the earth. He is never alone he is nev
er unguarded; like a great monarch,, protect
ing hosts march by his side. hnta ht
j better than the guards of kings for they are
hosts of his brethren. And on he goes whiih-
-...w ...tcrcBi urnis inclinations lead

ners and nooks and holes or this planet, he
plants himself and his customs and takes bis
comfort and follows his desires, a free, vig

sovereign and independent in all zones and
all latitudes, all fearing.respectingand givino
precedence to him over whose head is embla
zoned Xhat warning sentence, E pluriftus
vnum ! harm him n t, for he is one of many
brethren! That is the language which our
banner speaks; lhat is th language which
the divided and Eajrjcidal tribes ofthe East
look on -with wonder and delight. With
hand red witbJhe blood, of brethren,, with
dejected mien and scowling faces, our ances
tort stared on their exile westward from the '
p'easant site of "ihe garden of the Lord;"
with hands of music, and cheerful songs,
and majestic stride, they approach again
their paternal hearths'one, while upon their
flaunting banners flash the words "Libt-r'y
and Unio i, one and inseperable, now and
forever!"
But strange to say, as we approach the
Gates ofthe Golden Orient we b gin to for
get th virtues of that word to which we owe
so much ; it seems that ihe sight of Abel's
tomb instead of being a warning to cultivate
brotherly love, has only aroused a murderous
desir--. - -
The spirit of Cain has been striving with
us; and the great and ben-ficent work of
peace and concord seem to bu on the eve
of destiuction.
It is not my purpose, gentlemen, to go
into the history of that strife which seems to
have be- n, lor a while at least, allayed; nor
do I ipiend to attempt to discuss the merits
of the controversy concerning secession.
This is a day y t sacred in all our undivided
Country ; and it awakened in my mind a
train of thought which I fe t bound to express
It is a day dear to all lovers of lib- rty ; and
I be:ieve that many of those are still lovers
ol the Union. But the time's are dangerous;
the genius of destruction is at work and there
is no telling now what a day or an hour may
bring forth. B fore another anniversary of
this sort you be called on to perform military
duties sterner than ihose which have em
ployed you to day; and at such a crisis it is
'hrefore proper to ponder events, to study
the past and its lessons, to look to the future
and its promises, to scan and note tne aspeci
of the times. I said you are soldiers of
peace ; you are learning the use of arms that
you may be enab'ed io fight bravely and
skilfully for peace, for liberty adyour rights.
These are the only fights in which (he citizen-soldier?
tjf the United States should ever
engage, andyou should, therefore, be pre
pared to know when these are at slake. For
these and these only as Am rican citizens
you should fiht, for these as citizens of N
Carolina you may be called on to contend
in the tented field. You owe allegiance lo
no other states, or powers , and it is doubtful
if new powers are formed out of the wrecks
of the o d, t nether frit-men will form the
rank and file of armies. That there would
be a call for soldiers immediately afier the
dissolution of our federal Union no one pre
tends to doubt, but who would call, who
command, whither these commanders would
lead, what tvould be struck at and struck
3own, are things hidden in the mysteries of
the future. War, war, war is all that we
can see beyond that sad even t : war at the
North, and at the South, at the East and at the
West and in the Centre. War with all i s
most aggravated horrors, war by day and a:
night, war in the fields, the woods and by
the hearth-stone. Ten thousand strongspir-its-
wou d he wrestling ior the masterv, the
mventive'g-iiius of America would be turn
ed to the arts ot destruction, the memory of
Washington and a'l the virtues with which
it is associated wou!d be forgotten , the very
history of Washington and of the Revolu
tion would be erased and all in past glo
ries of our country buried in a bloody obli
vion. But this is not all. North Carolina as a
distinct government could be dissolved also
No,rth Carolina, explored by the ships ot
Raleigh, and colonized by the first true dis
ciple of freedom. Nerth Carolina with her
Moore's Creek, her Mecklenburg and her
Alamance, would be blotted for ever from
existi nee.
Suppose thrre was a general stamprde a
mbng the States of this Unio:i : suppose that
that parent whom we affectionately and fa
railhary cad Uncle im.were to pay the debt
of nature from any cause, can you not fore
see the first inevitable result?
Some ofthe States think they have attain
ed their majority and are aide to take care
of themselves som" of the brisk daughters
of our dear old parent would be icady to
make good terms for themselves in matrimo
nial alli ncs; and Virginia, the good old
widow, Virginia, dressed in decent mourn
ing, with a tear drop in one eye and a smi'e
iri the other, would be looking out f ra new
lord to rulf, knowing that the par ia i y of
hpr late spouse wou d leave her a dowry
that would command many suitors. Bui N.
Carolina, fair as she is, and lovely as she is,
would be ah lp ess minor. North Carolina,
like a rich infant he plessin the feudal a"-es
j would be the object of fierce contention, a.id
her lands and goods disposed of wi hout any
resp ct to the pr. ferences of her fancy or the
yearnings of her heart. 1 do not mean to
disparage-my native State, for I know her
mod. st worth. It is not because she is mod
est and plain and domestic that I speak of
tier as I r-a: these virtues make her a!I the
d arerto me. I remember the first time
that I ever left her borders to visit her more
noisy and flaunting nonhf-rn sisters. I had
been gone on a mission of love for her, for
several months ; the summer had passed a
way and I came back in a chilly week in
autumn. With me were two o her sons of
the State, one having been for some time a
resident of the West, and the other of New
York City ; and as two of us had left home
in summer there was but one c'oak arnon"
us From New York to Gaston, 'on the
Virginia line, we traveled rapidly in magnifi
cent cars and steamboa s coaches and boats
e eganily furnished, but in which no fires
had be- n provided. As I said it was raw
and chilly; and by degrees webpeame numb
and extremely uncomfortable though in the
rnidst of splendor. As we neared the State
the number of passengers diminished and
when we got to Gaston o .ly we three were
left' together. It was midnight ; and cold
and shivering and silent, w got out of the
Petersburg coach, and approached the little
black looking cars on the Carolina road. We
all felt secr tly ashamed. I must confess it,
we looked with something , like contempt
on the dirty looking v. hide which we were
about to enter; We were too cold and un
comfortable ver io express our thoughts;
and as weltered the coaeh, the first fire
which we bad seen in forfjight hours of
frosty weat her was blazing and cracking
cheerfully before us, while, as its genial
glow overspread our sbwering frames, we
instantaneously doffed our hats, and gave a
hearty cheerfor comfortable old North Caro
lina forever! Such she is; and thouo-h
the swallows gather about her lowly aves
and clustering vines hang over her modest
portals, within are blazing fires and hospita
ble hearths, and welcome cheer, peace, and
contentment, Jove, truth and honor. And
1 know to that she has done great things ;
w-4i t"one Caa pIalma prouder history.
Within her borders liberty was born and
nourished ; on her soil the great American
principle first took root.
Yes, my friends, you press on sacred

not in h condition to set up for herself.
Ncrth and South of her are powerful and

rivers, by no canals or rail roads ; she has no
markets of her own. no protected ports, no
ships, no commercial cities. She has a spape
and hard working population; and her native
energies an almost entirely undeveloped.
She could not make good terns for herself
and she could not stanl alone. In all
hurnan probability the dissolution of our Na
tional Confederacy would be followed by a
series ofdissolving scenes; every'State would,
at first fall backon its own resources, wd
then stretch its borders by alliance or by con
quest. If by alliance, it would seek of course
the frcndsh'ip of more powerful neighbors:
but it would make no sacrifices for a friendly
Union with a weaker sister. It would hau
ghtily dictate the hardest terms to such; and
if it could not make them peacefully it would
try it by force of arm. Among our neigh
bors we are now compelled to seek a mar
ket; and they would, therefore, have us in
their power Fight, doubtless, we would:
bravely, desperately and enduring'y; but it
would be like the s'ruggles ot ill-fated Po
land nud unhappy Italy. Our fields would
be the battle grounds "ofthe aspiring spirits
of Virginia and South Carolina in all time to
come; and by degrees county after county
would be annexed to one or the other in
order to fix the ba'ance of power between

VIEWS OF MR. CALHOUN.
In a letter from Gen James Hamilton,
published in the Charleston Mercury, ex-
j plaining the reason for not deli erlng, as be
! had been requested, an eulogium at Blufflon,
! Soiuh Carolina, upon Ihe life and character
lofMr. Calhoun, we rind the subjoined
! itatemi-nt in relation to the vi vs of the de
j ceased statesman concerning the separate ac
tion of Sou-h Caro!ina:
" If I had addressed you, as it was antici
pated, in discussing ihe principles and opin
ions of Mr. Ca'houn, as illustrative of hU
public life, I should have f It myself bound
iu WI1..IIUII1L4 c an iinporiani iact, mat, up to
the period of his death, he never contemplat
ed the separate andinsula ed action of South
Carolina, even on an xigency so vehement
and pressing in his opinion as th admission
of California. He looked alone to the united
and co-operative action of Virginia ad a
majority of the cotton States. He never for
one instant cherished the idea of devoting
South Caro'ina to desolation, or our people to
slaughter Jhnt other States ofthe South might
be dragooned into our support- His whole
policy was founded on a friendly and pacific
union of the South for th- protection of the
South. With that sanguine temperament
which, belonged to his nob'e nature, which
belongs to the very constitution of genius, he
cheiished this hope to the last. This extinct,
he' did not look b yond the great moral les
son which the motto impressed on our own
Pal metto holds forth for the instruction of h'T
sons; Jlmtnis opibusque parati. That these
were the opinions of this gr at man, I have
in my possession the most irrefutable testi
mony, which, at a fitting time, shall be made
public, if need be."

We learn that an affray occurred at Scot
land Neck, Halifax county, on Friday even
ing last, between two men by Ihe names of
Edmundsijm and Ellixson, which resu.'ied in
the death of the latier. A performance bv
Robinson a.d Eldred'g circus company'had
been given on that afternoon, during which,
it appears, a fight had occurred between a
dog belonging to the company, and one be
longing to Elhxson.creating considerable dis
turbance. After the conclusion of the per-
j V;r is auoiei Keeper,
and Elhxson. were talking about the matter
when the former remarked if the fio-ht had
not occurred, another performance0 would
have been g.ven at night. Ellixson denied
it, gave the he to Edmundson, and attacked
him; Edmundson retreated into his house o-ot
an old unloaded gun, and snapped itatrElltx
son several times. After a short interval,
Ellixson seized a chair, and knocked Ed

drew his knife, and with it inflicted wounds
from which Ellixson died on Saturday morn-

A MILITARY DISPLAY IN CHINA,
Correspondence of U Southern Christian Adale.
Shanghai, September 12, 1851.
A Chinese Militarj' Review is net one of the
least singular sights in this singular country. You
huve not now to be informed, for the first time,
of the extremely awkward and. ludicrous appear
ance of a Chinese soldier. To begin with his
head he wears upon it :i cap or hat. whatever you
please to caH it, of conical shipe, having a tuft of
horse hair, dyed red, fastened on the top and hang
ing down i'.s sides. In full dress uniform he wears
a elutnsy quilted garment, wadded with cotton.
It extends below the knees, and on the back. is a
large round patch of white, which has inscribed
upon it, in rliiming red, the character signifying
"bravery." This, of .course, is best seen by the
enemy when he runs, and they have never failed
to display it by turning Iheir backs in every en
gageiuent with foreign troops. If thev argue from
the maxim that discretion is tliebctter part of
valor," they are right, for run bravely they cer
tainly do. You would suppose, by 'she amount
of noise they produce, that they relied upon "the!
hideous din of their gongs and horns to frighten
their foes to death. A man who had a very dedi
cate sense of the ' concord of sweet sounds' would
be very likely to dread their music more than their
bullets.
I went this morning to see onq of these martial
displays ; carrying with me. however, a supply of
messcngors ot pence in the form ot tracts. I he
parade ground is a large open space without the
city walls, on the south, abctit two miles from
my residence. When I reached the spot, the arch
ers for one department ot the military use bows
and arrows had finished their exercise, and two
of the three mandarins present were exhibiting
their strength and skill to the admiring crowd bv
shooting at the target with bow's and arrows-of
their own. Had you seen the dexterity ot these
oflicers on this occasion you would agree withrac
in the opinion that the safest course for one to
take who wished to avoid being hit, would be to
go and stand by the mark. Just as one had dis
charged his three arrows, he discovered me among
the multitude, by my foreign dress, and beckon
ing me toward him, took me by the hand and
seatd nie by his side hear a small table. I was
admiring the wm&ujnnship of a bow standing a
gainst the table, and the mandarin to whom it
belonged requested me to lry it.
I begged hiin to excuse me, saving that I had
never used one of that kind: but, as he still ir
sisted, 1 look an arrow, placed it on the string and
sent it away whizzing toward the mark, which it
missed of course, but "went so far beyond it as to
elicit a shout of approbation from the people
crowded around. They exclaimed, , ' The foreign-
er's strength is greater than the mandarin's ;'' for
most of Hneir arrows hiid fallen short ofthe mark,
My courteous friend seemed a little mortified, and
he hastened to unstring his bow while the pco
pie said, 4 Jet '.lie toreigner shoot again : Jet the
foreigner shoot again." He then' ordered a cup
O o 1
of tea for me, and, taking his pipe, tilled it with
finely cut tobacco, lighted it by drawing a pint or
; two himself, and 'Mien wiping the mouth piece
rt'th hi hand, gave it to me with a graceful bow.

of the " divine weed," unless it be the " divinity I

breakfast, I soon returned it to hiui, whin lie used j
it with much gusto. '!
1 he place where we sat was elevated two stops !
above tne level ot the grouml and covered with a
roof. Our position commanded a view of the
whole field, and the mandarin's attendants kept
the space immediate! v around us open by vh.-.ck
ing aw: at the eager multitude with large whips.
The soldiers beating lire arms were drawn up in
readiness for an exercise a few rods distant. Two
large yellow flags witn serrated edges were plant
ed at either extremity of the line, and five small
ones of the same desciipti n at equal distances
apart between the first, and a litt c i:i ;he rear.

groaned piteouely during the infliction, and I was
just about to intercede for bim whpn ha wn r
leased. He was then remanded to the ranks, and
performed his part in the remainder of his exer
cise. Following the reviow-of the match-lock depart
ment came that of soldiers using swords, spears,
and shields. The shields nre round, about two
feet in diameter, and made of rattan, having the
face of a tiger painted on them so large as to cover
the whole surface. The performanee with these
weapons was quite amusing, for the same reason
that that of the actors in a circus is so. Those
carrying the shields showed great dexterity in
warding off the blows of their assailants. They
would turn somersets, roll over on the ground
neotall sorts of antics in dodging ; iheir anta
gonists exerted themselves so to strike as not to

When the whole was concluded, the reviewing
officer distributed rw1a f .: ...

turned the best somerset he gave two hundred
copper cash, equal in vah'e to thirteen cents.
