Female Seminary, in Orangeburg, which had boon (Won to tho Protectant Epiaoopal Chnroh, for tha Diooeaaa Theological 8eminary f South Carolina, upon examination haa been xouna IOMU1 adapted ta the purpose for which ihsgr wore intended, sad Mr. James t. Welbm*i presented 81. John's College, of thla place, for the tt~t object. The 8u John's buildings art largo and handsome, occupying one of the moot desirable sites in our town, and dobtless. In every respect well adapted to the purpose for which they were so liberally donated. The buildings in Orangeburg arc to be sold, and the money appropriated to the establishment of the Seminary in this place, and will be opened in Ootober next. A laudable generosity is displayed in this acu of Mr. Wblsman. Tlie Stay Law. Our ootemporaries appreciating the solemn offset of ths late decision of the Court of ErrorB pronouncing this law aa unconstitutional, arc devoting much space and thought to its serious contemplation. The viewB of editoro as well as correspondents are worthy oar serious regard. To us its constitutionality or unconstitutional! ty is a matter of no importance now. The thing is settled. An oracular opinion or judgment has been given?the highest tribunal has to ended forth its edict?has, in language not lo be mistaken, announced that the law of collection is re-established. To sue or not sue, is the serious question' Mo ono from our stand point, oan look upon our oppressed people and any that the effect of that decision will not be i .??, uuicbs Giruiwrs are inspireu with a spirit of forbearance and indulgence in adcfcroe that will save for a time, at least, (be honest debtor. Will the holders of notes do so, OS will they, their hands now being unrestrained, direct their oollection at the expense of their neighbor and friend ? If so, an exclamation more awful than that uttered in referenoe to the people of Jerusalem, will apply to ear people. Satisfactory arrangements should be node, by which creditors will be made safe, without resort to the legal prooess of collect lag, which will bring about an indiscriminate sniag, proving most ruinous to debtors, and In saany instances detrimental to the creditor. Salts, however profitable to our professional friends, must prove iniurions in th? < degree, to the people at largo. Depopulation, and a transfer of properly from one to the other, are inevitable results if unbridled avarice is permitted to indulge its voracious appetite. We most be indulgent to each other, or the entire country will be ruined. Before us j U the picture of universal distress?unbidden, : it presents itself to our painfal vision?by day , and night it haunts the benevolent, as well as those removed from the unqualified operations i Of this decision. Imagine the country at large, nnder rait?the inability of honest men to meet their acknowledged legal responsibilities, owing to the scarcity of money and the absence of those agricultural products which command money?and you will have some faint conception of the situation, in future, of our bleeding oountry. Venesection, to utter monetary death, ) is a sequence, as natural as a logical conclusion from well-eslabled premises. While we were never an ardent supporter and friend te the 8tay Law in its inception, we are fearful thai ita removal at this particular period, must bo hurtful to those interests whieh form the substratum of our material prosperity. Against this view of the subject, we quote the following pararranh from the1 - - - " -1 Abbeville Banner, which is Badly true, and ( indioatss that the continuance of the law, being thus abused, would belujuriouB to our people: "If under its operation, there had been manifested eny satisfactory evidence of effort upon the pert of debtors to discharge their indebtedness, we would have said without hesitation, postpone the consideration of its constitution-; ality, temporise, give the people a breathing spell ; but whet were the facta T Was there , any disposition to pay debts f Was there any j self-denial practiced T Was there any retrench-1 meat of expenses ? You will find the answer So these questions when the measure is taken of the breadth and depth of the deluge of, "Yankee notions" which has inundated our, land during the last twelve months, and when the proceeds of all the cotton is accounted for ; which was on hand at the surrender of the , tnniM last spring?cotton that has gone like j the baseless fabric of a dream,'' but which has Ml our debt# behind.'' The Stay Law was passed to protect soldiers in the army, bat has proved itself to be any i thing else bat a protection?a curse, and they j will soon realise it. The soldiers needed no j protection against their creditors during the war, because they doubted the soundness of the orraacy, and many even refused to take it la paymentof debts. Certainly under the then existing stats of affairs no legislation was nec ' asaory for the protection of the soldier. It it neciless to comment upon the folly so palpable In the passage of the Slay Law at the time It was passed, bat we merely proposed an appeal to the people for the exeroise of all the leniency and forbearance possible. People should; pay their debts, and any legislation protecting ihem in not doing so, if not unconstitutional, Is adjust and unwise. The orisis is inevitable, at oroan will com?, and It it with th? people Ihemtelree to mitigate its horrorn, by the exeroise of ft spirit of benerolenoe end forbearUM.

Letters frwm Haul Dell. Me. Editoe : In these sad times, it is de hghtfal for one whose ear and mind are ever ftled with the din and smoke of town, to repair to the country and realise the peculiar plealures of rural ezistenee. The singing of birds, the lowing of cattle, the sighing of brasses, and the mnsio of rill and rivulet, have been themes of the Inspired bard, and in the effusions of his sympathetic heart, we imagine can be heard the destinotive sounds of each of those fruitful souroes of mental gratification. To these causes it may be, is the acknowledgment so universal, io oe auriouieu, mat nut ana vate, mountain and plain?flowers native and cultivated, rural scenery and rural modes of habit and thought, are more favorable to moral enjoyment, than the city. White the latter has its superior ad vantages in regard to the facilities of a higher and more cultivated state of outward. external life, it nevertheless has its dreadful offsets in temptations to moral deterioration. This is not owing, however, to the absence of the purest element of a beautiful morality, but to the concentration of all the various elements or principles that make up individual character. In the country, each family is to be regarded as a harmonious orgauization. There arc no sentimental jarrings or discords?no opposition of mind or feeling?the thoughts and feeling!* i oi encn memocr ox mo nousonoia, wneuier aroused by politics or religion, arc like drops of water, inclined to blend swoctly ?to flow into one unruffled stream. Tho town is not so adjusted. There nre various families, and between eouie will spring up alienations, growing out of an antithesis in opinion upon important subjects, as well as upon such minor topics, as dreSs and tho latest style of hats, (not to say bonnets, a good old fashioned, but nearly obsolete word,) and the ordiuary suggestions of unbridled gossip. The city may be well governed?the majority of its inhabitants peaceable in disposition, unobstrusivs in ocial intercourse, but now and then a rough, angular character interposes to produce jostlings and rufllos the quiet streams of life. This is frequently the case. The city is often, too, made the place as well as the ooc&sion, for premeditated outrages upon all the proprieties of oivilircd life?lienee its remitatinn ?? ilamsirpil and ils advantages impaired in the estimation of the reflective and courtly countryman. I will not further speak defensively just now of tie town. In the broad and open fields, I guide my incautious steps, and to the goddess of the virgin forests, would pay ourmod humble homage. In the mj'thologic&l age of Greece, there were numerous deities to whom the presiding care and the control of certain objects were assigned. I'or instance, Fan was the God of the forests and the fleecy flocks that found green postures and oooling streams beneath his umbrageous wings. Ilow beautiful the thought that he, beneath and to whom the forests in all their grandeur flourished, and daily expressed their devout thanksgivings, should in like manner extend his arms of love and nrnlnriinn nvnr fkn lamK ?Kn mn?? cfriltinrr and lovely type of innocence and lovelinessThere was another feature that gave tho forest a peculiar distinction, and renders the country in which the relentless blows of the rude axeman have not been too untastefully and greedily inflicted, peculiarly desirable in the summer months, and that is that each tree was inhabited by a wood nymph, and consecrated to some particular Qod or Goddess. You remember the story of Erisichthora. He was a hater of the Gods and determined to violate a tree sacred to Ceres, which is represented as being fifteen cubits in thickness, and so tall as to overtop all surrounding it. The execution of his order was refused on account of the superstitious fears of the persons present. At last he seixed the axe, and as he bestowed bis first blow, blood, to the amazement of the by stand ere, began to flow, and a voice from the Dryad within, premonished him of the perilous consequences. Deaf to the entreaties and remonstrances of Nymph and friend, he repeated tho blows with his axe, until the mighty monarch of the forest, toppled crushingly to the ground. Then the nymphs applied to Ceres for revenge, who directed them to renair to ice-rlnd SrviKU where dwell fear, shuddering and famine, and ! order the latter, in the name of the offcuded { and insulted Goddess, to take possession of his bowels. Immediately the famine enfulded Erisichthon in her wings, and breathed into him the venom of her breath. On awaking he hungered ?on eating his hunger remained un- ; abated. Miserablo, wretched and hungry, he | continued until his property was eihausted to ' satisfy cravings. At last he sold bis only ) daughter, to obtain food, but ali in vain, and i finally died, having consumed his awn tlesh. I Thus did the Gods punish the sacrilege of | Krisichthon. The idolatry of the Greeks as well as Romans, though demolished in fact, has left and trans- [ milted an attachment for the woodland as well ] as moorland thatthe highest states of civiliia- I tion hare not destroyed. Whether it is because 1 the human mind is inclined to be idolatrous naturally, or there is an innate appreciation of nature in her primitive or cultivated condi- ' lions, we know not. Of one thing we are assured that the progress of ideAs has invested the mountains and hills?the wooded stretch ? the marshy plain?the rugged fern bed?the fields of yellow grain?the gentle tephyrs?the morning sun and evening sunsets ?in fact, all the diversities of surface and sky, with sn in- ( terest that youth can ne'er forget, nor old age 1 ever cease to love. Having extended our 1 rambling thought! beyond our pedal measurements, we will put?. period to the one in hope | that w? shall be able to resume the other in 1 some future number.

Wo are informed that after a vacation of about a week the aeoond aeaaion will commence. effort of the Hons - Jmliciary Committee to fasten upon the head of Mr. Davis a share of the responsibility for the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, has been an utter failure ; and if, as you see stated iu the papers, they are still taking evideuceon that point, it is rather to cover up their rage anil disappointment in a respectable manner, than w th any hope of securing a pretext for what they seek?his trial by military Commission. TIIE rr.DKR AL COURT IT VIRGINIA adjourned at Norfolk last week, and re assembles to morrow in Richmond. It is understood here that the counsel for Mr. Davis will appear before the Court some time this week, aud demand that the trial, under the indictment already found against him, be proceeded with. To this motion the District Attorney will prob ably reply that the Government is not yet ready to go on with the prosecution of the case. In that event bail will be demanded for the prisoner?a request, which, considering his long and wcnrisoin incarceration and the pre carious condition of his health, it will be difh cult for the Court, with any show of decency and fairness to refuse. It is said mat the eminent pleaders who are to conduct the defence are ready to give bail for their distinguished client to the amount of ten millions of dollars, they having ascertained that that amount can be raised in New York ; but the general impression is thai hail will not be allowed. The proceedings, however, incideut to the effort to obtnin bad will be of an interest second only to the trinl itself. rUKst.ST cosditi .X Or MR. PAVIS. I was conversing yesterday with ? photographer of this city, who, by permission of l?en. crul Miles, the Commandant at Fortress .Menroe, had an interview with Mr. Davis three days ago. He describes the State prisoner as wau aud careworn in appearance, though hit fthi/sujuf still retains much of that nervous cner- i gy which ale a s distinguished him. Mis bearing was erect aud Ins step as firm as ever; and tho only pu'.pablc evidence of his physical prostration w is in his voice, which was very perceptibly weaker than formerly. iiss rEtl'okal aptkaraxck, however, was very much altered. Previous to his capture, it will be rchiembered, it was his habit to g j c'.can shaven, wearing only a small strip of heard around his thro&l.

IIi9 grey hair is also grown ' quite long, an l he wears it brushed straight 1 back from Ins forehead, very much in the slyle 1 of l'ierre Souls, whom many of your readers ! may remember to have seen at Charleston du- 1 ring the war. Notwithstanding his hirsute as j pcct, his high cheek bone and sharp and clear ly marked features, render him easily recogni i table by any one who has ever beheld him in the past. In response to a request that he should eit ' for his photograph, he quietly declined, saying that he had been so sadly changed by his re > cent manner of life that be feared that none of his old friends would know htm. He prom eed, however, that at a future day, he would give { the desired opportunity for his picturo to be taken.

The steamers Hermann and Southampton, with dates to the 23d, have arrived A Paris telegram to the London Tost states definitely that arrangements have been made for a conference of France, England and Russia on one side. Austria. Prussia and Italv on the other, with Drouvn D'Lhuys as President. The London Herald says that conferences cau do nothing, and that war is certain unless the corabatauta become exhausted under the burden of preparation. The Dresden official journal says the conference was to meet May 26th, but that Austria was evincing a disinclination to participate. If persisted in, she will be represented pro tem by England. There is no relaxation in military preparations by Russia, while there is a uni ersal feeling that there will be a pacific solution. l'jussia lias issued a decree that, in the event of a war, the enemy's iucrcbaul ships will not be liable to enpture on the high seas, provided similar rules arc adopted by her antagonists. The Austrian Commandant has notified the Venetians that any attempt to enlist in Italian Corps, or to encourage desertion, shall be dealt with by martial luw.

Austria has raised her at my to <j(X),l)UO men. l'russia to 600,COO, Italy to 400,000. All the German Stales are mobilizing their smaller forces, which, may together, amount to *^00,000. Switzerland, in order to guard her frontiers, calls 16,000 men, under arms, and now we hear that l)emmark, Spaiu, llelgium, France, Russia and Turkey prepare for war. The continent seems to be already giddy, and three millions of men their full force are taken away from the plough, from the factory, and from thecouutiug-house. All the fiuauce* of the States are deranged, and the ominous words of the French Emperor seem to be the presage of a long ami bloody war, terrible principally for Germany, where it must assume the character of a civil war. Austria, which for a moment seemed to be doomed in iter isolation, i*, after all, not so badly off as was believed, all the minor Slates of Germany, with the exceptiuu of Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, and Electoral liesnc, being ready to hack her. Thus the opposing are nearly equal, and France becomes once more the umpire in Europe. Now, Napoleon is not the man to go headlong into the abyss of a terrible continental struggle, and at the eleventh hour he mokes the greatest efforts to stay the war, seconded In that errand by England and partially by Russia, lie proposes once more, and for the last time, a peaceful settlement by a Congress upon the basis of the cession of Venetta to Italy, aud of the North Albingian Duches to Prussia, fits diplomacy has lor a moment caused a lull in the brewing storm.

Still, even at Vienna discontent is rising? people openly blame the Emperor for hie bigheadeduess in refusing to listen to any French proposals for the ceding of Veneita to Italy, and in Using time in coming to terms with Hungary. At the present moment. Chancellor Majlath is indeed at Perth, but, according to our advices up to Friday last, he has not yet met Deak, the only it.an who really represents Hungary. But, if Austria's position is not enviable at nil, Italy has her difficulties.

The war enthusiasm would turn against the monarchy if the army should once more hare to return without strik ing a blow, and every Italian would endorse Mazzini's words, that monarchy is unable to achieve the unity of the nation.
