The Columbia Carolinian of the 4th inst , says
it is highly probable 'hit the cxtrn session of'
the legislature, which we have been expecting '
for some time, will not be convened until the
v close of the present month. This opinion is '
quite plausible, in view of the absence of the
Governor whilo attending the Philadelphia
Convention. Wc are inform*d by one who
knows, that the Legislature will be couvcued
about tho 27th instant.
Suiesday-the Crops.
Last Monday being salesdsy a large number
of our country friends were in town. In fact,
it was the largest crowd we have scon on Mich
an occasion for many a day. We saw persons
from almost every section ol the district, and
all gave gloomy nccounts of the prospects of
the growing crop. Every section has been i
suffering greatly for want of rain. The wheat I
having been thrashed, it is ascertained that it
docs not average, in the district, more than a
third of a crop.

Tbe Atlantic Cable.
The Atlantic Telegraph Company, under the
indefatigablo leadership of Cyrus W. Field, as
was announocd last week, has completed the
grand undertaking of laying a Cable across
the ocean, connecting Europe and America,
and reducing the time for communication between
the two worlds from weeks nnd months
to minutes and second*. Is it not n grand
and sublime thought. This is tho fourth or
fifth attempt to accomplish this gigantic enterprise.
The first was made in 1857, but
when 380 miles from the coast of Ireland the
cable parted, which ended the first attempt
Under the direction of Mr. Field, preparations
were made for another attempt, and i he causes
. of the first failure were thought to he discover
cd, and in 1858, whc:i about a hundred miles I
of tho cablo hud been laid, it parted again
This brake was repaired, and the cable laid
from the coast of Ireland to the coast of America,
so that signals actually passed from shore
to shoro for Bcveral days. Messages wore
passed botween tho Queen and (lie President
From some cause this was another failuro, nnd 1
the cable was taken up. The scheme up to
this timo [cost near $2,000,000. In 1802 Mr.
Field rcsusoitatcd the work, nnd after three
years preparations, another trial wns made in
1866, the cubic parting when 1,200 miles had
been paid out. The present success is indeed the
greatest achievement of the litre, by which wo

Tlie Truth.
Wc publish the following paragraph, with a
hope that it may strike the mind of soinc with
tho full force of the truths contained therein.
It is indeed unbecoming a people impoverished
and afflicted as wc are ni this time, to run
mad after tho frivolous and extravagant styles
ofYankco dress and Yankee notions, in our
attempts to keep up with "fashion's full herd."
These whose finnncial circumstances render
theai a*>le, arc not ju*tijiall> in an undue indulgence
in the mania for fashion and dress,
whila their visions are daily haunted by scenes
suffering and want. To say that it is nn- ,
becoming, is to say the least, of it. The Co- t
lumbia Caroluwtn says the following on the
subject;
"Wo can never be independent of the North
while our people ape the extravagance of Yankee
nabobs. Wc can never recover from present.
depression while money is squandered to
make one presentable in tho height of the
fashion. It ill bccomos r. people afflicted as
ours have been, to go forth wi.'li showy trap- j
pings when thousands, once blest with affluence,
arc groping in the midnight of want,
and thankful even for the necessities of life,
fctuch display is as vulgar as it is untimely, j
and affords a poor le,sson to the growing gen- i
oration who look for something more sturdy J

prepared almost to deify as the pcrsouiticwion ,

The State of tlie Country.
On Monday last, tho Hon. James fabnow<
our representative cleat, to Congress, and n
delegate to tho Philadelphia Convention, addressed
an unusually large meeting of our citi.
zens on the slate of public affairs. After reviewing
the present posi'ion of parties in the
North, and the necessity of a new party, based
on the living issues of the present, he adverted
to reasons why ht thought all the Southern
States should be represented in that Convention,
contending that as our people, by the
rcorgnuizution of our State govcrumeutiti conformity
with the President's policy of restoration,
have accepted the result of the war as a
final settlement of all the questions in contraversy
between tho sections, and that we might
as well sny so in Philadelphia as in Columbia
He also contended that there was no more
abandonment of principle in our people, as
citizens, ai-ltnnivloiliriiirr ..?
E--B -""r""." "
tlie "situation," than there was in General
Lee's surrender, holding that both were necessitated
by unavoidable and overpowering
circumstances, lie expressed a hope that the
Philadelphia Convention would prove harmonious
in its proceedings, in which event lie
thought there would be a probability that the
Radical strength would he diminished in the
elections for Congress, which would lake place
this full in the North, which woidd make Congress
more conservative, and might restore to
ussoiue of the constitutional rights of States.
Ho thought that to secure harmony in the
Convention it would be necessary to keep an
eye single to the future, and let bygones be
bygones, lie said lie accepted the appoint
incut of delegate to the l'hilndelpliia Convention
with which he had been honored by the
recent State Convention at Columbia, and
would go with the determination to co-operatc
in good faith, without regard to past differences,
with any and all men who tavored the
restoration of the Union and the re establish
nicnt otpraerful relations between the sections.
lion. (1 Can.vox, in response to a call, gave
an interesting account of the spirit and harmony
which characterized the proceedings of the
recent Slate Convention, and expressed tin
opinion that the people of this Stnte (?) hail
acted properly in accepting the invitation to
send delegates to the Convention at rhiludel.
phiv He thought the honor of the State
would not suffer from a policy which was ap
proved by such soldiers as Hampton, McGownn,
Wallace, Haskell and others who were
members of the State Convention.
