We trust that we shall be able, to present to our readers the Presi idit's message next week. We have noticed in some or our ex chnnge papers, au account of a duel which receutly took place between Mr. P. S. Brooks and Col. L. T. Wigfall, of this vil. Iage, im which it is stated, thal both wete mortally wounded. in justice to the par lies, and for tile satisfaction of their dis anut friends, we pre happy to state, that the parties were but slightly wounded, and are nearly restored to health. Mr. Brooks is at present at his father's mansion. We are indebted to our Representative, Dr. R. C. Guilliu, for the Report of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, touching the Richland Election. Soulth Carolina Senator.--The Hon, JoHN C. CALHOUN, hias been unanimously re-elected U. :.

S. Ashe, Alexander Mazyck, H. D. Johnson, Wm. Willie, J. S, Jeter, W. HI. Cannon, John Btwbanou, T. J. Good wan, and John Jeukins. The Electors niet on the 2nd inst., and voted for Mar tin Van Buren for President, and Littleton W. Tazewell, for Vice President. It affords us great pleasure to atnnounce to our readers, that Julius J. Du Bose, the talented cditor of the S. C. Temperance Advoente, has been elected Treasurer of t he Upper Division. A more judicious se lection could not, iii our opinion, have been made. Mr. D. is a gentleman and scholar, and well qualified to discharge the duties of his office. On the 1st inst. the following gentlemen were, admited by the Court of Appeals, to practice in the Courts of Law, in this State. Messrr. R. G. Barnwell, Samuel D. Barron. Levi S. Bowers, C. R.

II, Speers, The weather foar sonme weeks piast. has becen: unusually mild and plensant, until within the last fuw dlays, during which. it huas utndergoine a material change. A cold northenst windl.accompnnied with rain. has imineeccd mna:15 of our citiz- us to-draw on their overe.ats anud capls, and produced qiie a sensation in then wood market. Maiy similar movemenats, indlicated a readiness on thme part of our cotmmunimy, to wvelcomne the st'rn monarch of the North. Winier has inmled arrived. The ener gies of nat ore are prostrated. Tjhe leaves of the forqst are fast falling to the ground. The branches are stripped of their ver diure, and the cold north wind chants the reqtuiemt of the dying year. The w'oods aire silent and descrted, atnd where but a short time since, the blithe melodies of birds, was heard nothing now meets the ear, but the crenking of some broken branch as it swings in the chill blast, in symphhoiiouJS cadence, with the solitary hooting of the distant owl. The long evenings arc enjoyed by the young and gay, while the m-mi of contemplat otn, is drawn to reflect on that final close of earthly interest, dlesires and anticipations, which usher in the witier of death. WVe perceive by otir exchange papers, that the United States Mint are coining dlollars smaller in diameter, than those now in circulation. We sh.al' not oppose this alteration, provided the number is ini ereasedh in proportion , for we now, find it' impossible to retnin any of them long enough in our posseesion, to ascertra whether they are large or small.
