ART-HUR SIMKINS,. EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28, 1853. r1 TH. articles of " Saluda," " Elpis" and " E. W. R.," besides several advertisements are unavoida bly crowded out. Our correspondents must excuse us. We cannot help it. MRerry Christmas ! " A merry christmas," say we, to each and every one of our readers-to old and young, to grave and gay, to men and women, to boys and girls, to farmers and fiddlers, to preachers and peace-makers, to law yers and lovers, to merchants and mechanics, to doctors and dyspeptics, to bishops and blacksmiths, to printers and pill-makers, to all, TO ALL a " MER RY CHRISTMAS." Stop-to all did we say? Yes, to all save gossips and back-biters. And for each one of these we wish a ride with a witch on a broom stick for every night of Christmas week. Death of Capt. '. 3. Smith. Tu District of Edgefield has lost another of her most high-tuned.citizens in the demise of CArT. J. B. SMITH, of M11. Willing. This melancholy event oc curred on Thursday night last. CArT. SrnT has deservedly ranked among the most popular men in the District, and was honored at one time by his fellow-citizens with the largest vote for the Legislature which had ever been polled in Edgefield up to that date. While serving the public, his f ithfulr.e a was above question. And in priva-e life, his integrity, kindness and hospitality wereal ways beautifully conspicuous. Few better men have ever lived. What our Legislators have done. We might briefly say that but little has been done during the Session of our Legislature which has just closed and that we are very well satisfied with that little. But custom requires us to go a little further and to be a little more specific in our remarks. In decd, were we not so, there might be some little room to suppose that we felt a little superetlious about the matter, which is very far from being the fact. To proceed thet, the Legislature, among other things, have chartered the Columbia and Angusta Railroad Company. We felt from the first that there would be no difficulty in bringing about this consum mation. Although it may result in affecting certain tither interests injuriously for a time, yet there was no reason, supported by fairness and justice, why the charter should be refused. Our Legis.lature saw this .t a glance, and the consequence was prompt action in the premises and favorable to the petitioners. It is gratifying to know that the South Carolina Railroad Company receded from their first position of unfriend liness towards tjhis new enterprise. The Charleston Mercury reckoned very unskilfully when it spoke of the prayer of the applicants as a " bold" step which would but " lead to mischief." It was, on the con trary, a most feasible demand, and is likely to iring about benefits of no ordinary kind, not only to a large portion of our own State, but to the great travelling public of the country. We gather from reliable au thority that the work will be taken hold of at no dis tant day with avidity and will be built independent of all aid from the State or its fiscal organ. This is what we like to see. It proves the enterprise to be a practicable and a wise one. If it be true, as we have heard surmised, that this direct inland route will draw annually from the South Carolina Railroad much more than a hundred thousand dollars wor:h of travel, two conclusions are at once apparent. The first is, that the stock will be among the very best in tho Union--the second, that a tnecessit y fur the Road is already existant. The Legislature have also appropriated two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars towards the conimua tion of the new State House which is already undler the hands of the builders. This will be followed up necessarily by another quarter of a million at the next Session, and another at the Session after, and so Ott until thme noble work shall he cotmpleted. We take it thtat the entire cost is ultimately to exceed a whole million of dollars. This looks as thotugh our le-gisla tors were entirely parad opibus, or at least considered their dear co:Etituents to be so. It wotuld seem too that all idea of ever changing our seat of government had completely vanished. The building is to be one of stately ditnensions and htight architecttural excel lence ; yet we very tmuch doubt wvhethter it will ever echo back the like of noble sentiments and patriotic eloquence which have rung arottnd the n all. of thme old wooden building which is so'on to he no mitre. But we are not opposedto the construmction, of a State. houise, which shtall cntbine thte requtisites of secturily, durability and beauty. And conceiving the work now authorised and provided for one of that characc ter. we regard the appropriation a dlefensibtlc one. The Legislature have also jointly resolved that Commander INGR~sttAM be presented with a sword by the State. Thme Governor is to select attd present it. We are canfident his Excellency will carry out the compliment as elegantly as any 'other man livitng c')ull do it. This is very well. IJaAt is, frotm all accounts, a nole fellowv, besides being a Sonth Croinian. His Kozta alfhir was handlsome, and lie deserves the sword. Give him a keen blade and a plain scabbard-and let a diamond, if you like, adorn the head. A Bill has also been passed, prohibiting the collec ttt'n of demands agaimist students in Colleges and Institutions of Edtucation it:r 'ughoutt the State. This enactment will probably prove itself to be one of those nugatory things which stand for a few years and are'then repealed. It will do but littde good to wartds putting a stop to the old " tick" system which has so long prevailed. We may he mistnkeni, and hope we may be. Let it be tried so the fulil. In the latitude of New England it mnight do. Bitt so lomtg as the yottths of the sunny Soutth retain the bright sentiment of htonor they yet cherish, so long will the merchant trust to that hontor fur indlemntity against all damages on their account. Some six or seven Btatks have been rechartered by the Legislature and one or two ne w ones ittcorporated. Some three or four new Railroad Companies have been incorporated, besides the one metitioned in the outset of this article. But help ha~s been giren to none of them. Nor are we at all displea'ed at this feature of thme winter's legislation. rTe precedent of assisting Railroads with thte credit of the State was being taken advantage of to such an extent as to be come alarming. We never favored it and are among those who rejoice that it has been aboliklted, if abol ished it really be. But the lust of corporations is ravenous, and will, we fear, show itself again and again, like the many-headed Hydra, seeking whtat of the people's tmoney may be flung into its capaciuus thrat. Let the people be on their guard against thim licentious spirit-and let them instruct their represen atives that hereafter Railroad enterprises are to stand or fall according to their merits and the ability f their supporters. Thme Legislature have furthermore exempted the srvivors of the South Carolina volunteers, in the Florda war, from ordinary militia ditty. Poor fel ows ! mamny of them are on the free list itt Heaven by this time, we hope; and the greater part of those alive are too 'ld for duty any how. Thte gratitude f the Republic comes late enough-bjt " better late han never." There are various other enactments mostly of a oeal or private character. A list of them will be ound on our first page, amounting in all to forty-six. Upon the whole, wve think the Session has passed ff creditably to all concerned. Some things were ushed aside, which many will regret. Chief among hese is the erection of a monument to CAI.mtouN. We have heard some of our most prudent and eco omical old citizens speak of the rejection of this roposion with deep mortification. Otsr candid opinion is that it would have been fervently sanction d by the people of South Carolina. P. S.-Those who wish to see at what rates the taxes are to be imposed for the coming year will find n another column a short Bill, which we commend o their scrittiny. All the better for being~ done quietly. MA rTIN KosxrA has arrived, and, mirsbile dictu, his arrival was unattended by the clamor. of a New Tork mob. The " Time." says he was received "like a package of goosms, safely, quietly and without y foolish noise about his: coming." We agree with e Times in regarding this time " best reception of l l ,I Eon. Mr. Boyce. We observe that this talented member of our Con gressional delegation indicates, at the outset of his s career, a determination to deserve the name of a faith ful and active sentinel upors the watch-tower. Al ready has he thrown out his feeler upon the Tariff question, in the shape of a resolution asserting the doctrine of his State upon this all-important branch of 1 federal politics. That doctrine is the raising of only so much revenue as may be needed for an economical administration of the Government, by an imposition of duties which shall bear as equally as possible upon the different seetions classes and interestsqf the Coun try. We doubt not that Mr. Boyce is armed cap.a pie upon this question, and we shall expect to find him, when the fight comes on, bearing himself right gal lantly against his opposers. An Acknowledgernent. We are indebted to Hon. L. M1. Kerr for a copy of President Pierce's first message. The People's Journal. WE have received a new publication with the title above-given. It is from that great emporium of all things, the City of New York, and is published monthly at 50 cents per annum. It is a record of useful knowledge, especially in the departments of Agriculture and Mechanics. Each number contains about fifty engravings. We think it the cheapest thing out. Mr. Speaker Simons. u'rrs gentleman has shown himself one of the most accomplished Speakers the South Carolina House of Representatives has ever had. We learn that his recent valedictory remarks to that body upon their adjournment were received with the deepest feeling. A member observed in our presence the other day that the entire House seemed devoted to him. Col. SuMoVs, by his courtesy, dignity, impar tiality and ability as a presiding Officer. hall iinpreis ed himself upon those with whom lie has served in a manner tha will be long remembered. The battle is at hand. IT is apprehended that the Pacific Railroad ques tion will be sprung in Congress at no very distant clay, and that the contest for the mastery will be a furious one. The Washington correspondent of the Mercury says: " A violent and vital struggle will ensue upon this measure, with the Soutk and the Ad. ministration on one side, and the North and West on the other. "The South and the Administration on one side !" There's a marvellous turn of Fortune's wheel, for her votaries to wonder at. Yet it is as true as it is strange. And we fancy the luck will be right thankfully profited by. The fellow-ship is ac cepted and we will fight it out to the last. So have the Southern etates resolved. Let their champions in the Federal Congress spurn the provoking jealousies of spoilsmen. and prepare for something higher and more honorable. Let them compass the full breadth and depth of this great argument, and study to defend the Constitution in its purity and simplicity. So shall " the South and the Administration" triumph. Well Said. Tue Independent (Abbeville) Press makes the fol lowing sensible observations, prefatory to sundry ex tracts from and comments upon th. President's mes sage. Our cotemporary gives precisely our notion of what a document of the kind ought to be. Thus writes the Independent : "'Tte first annual message of President Pierre has. ju.<t reached us through the columns of the Charleston Courier. It is an admirable document, sensible, per spicous, nosdest and temperate. Its style is rather singular, though we think it all the better for that. It is historical, not controversial, and is free from the slightest shile of partizan feeling. It seems to us an undignilied impropriety in a President to intuse party feeling and controversial argument into his message. lie shouild simply state facts antd make suggestions, mrut argue them. The dutgy impnsed by thn - con'titu tion is, that lhe shiall, in his message, "give inifurmta tion of tihe state of the Union," and the present mes sage fully mteets that ditty. The latitude taken -hy furme-r P'resiidents ina their messages, was a burl pre cedent, sbich Mr. Pic~- had the good taste to eschew." Five Points Opera.
