prospect of such an heir recently heralded on j
this side of the Atlantic?the succession runs
to old Jerome, only surviving brother of Napoleon
I., and next to his son Jerome Napoleon, 1
who was a noisy Red Republican previous to
his cousin's usurpation. Old Jerome is no- j
body, and is not known to have ever adopted ;
a principal or cherished a conviction. Young
Jerome has some talent, but no character?
or rather a bad reputation, even in profligate
Paris. He is there accounted not merely loose
in his morals, even when judged by the lax
Parisian standard, but is popularly believd to
have betray a want of courage while in the
Crimea. Louis Napoleon's rule is endured
because it is known that he will fight to maintain
it, and not run away when it is threatened,
as his two last predecessors did."

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1855.
' THE REVIEW AT EBENEZER?MR.
BOYCE'S SPEECH.
Tuesday last, wo enjoyed tlie pleasure. in common
witli the good people in and around Kbenezcrville,
of attending a general review of tlic -Kith Regiment.
S. C. Militia, ('or.. T. W. Srrncis. assisted by
! Major Wm. S. Dux lap, commanded the Regiment,
we doubt not, to the entire satisfaction of General
Edwaimis, the reviewing officer of tbis Brigade.?
This regiment has always held a high rank in the
Militia, and justly considered a well-trained ami efficient
corpse. The various military evolutions,
though not characterized with that promptness and
precision, so admirable in our excellent Military
Schools, yet they were performed in a manner highly
creditable to all concerned. This leads us t > remark
upon the benefit of such schools. We have very
little hope that legislation will ever produce any
great reform, in our present militia system. How
then are its defects to be remedied? The answer is
plain and obvious : educate and train up young men
for this, as all other professions, let the State foster
and encourage her Arsenal and Citadel Academies,
as well as Preparatory Military Schools. With
young men thus trained scattered all over the State,
they will be very readily promoted to the highest
inilitopv offices, and we would soon experience im
portant and radical changes in the present disordered.
deranged?we had almost said, useless organization.
The system is certainly very burdensome to
the large mass of our citizens, demoralizing in its
tendency, and of no practical benefit whatever, save
in the fact that it preserves a complete military organization
in our State.
We were pleased to meet with -o goodly a number
of tho?e whom we recognized as friend* and patrons.
It was really cheering to meet, and interchange the
civilities of social intercourse with them. We were
in an excellent ninod to appreciate their friendly
greeting, and treasure up for future thought, their
tokens of kindness and encouragement. Instead of
the clouds and darkne-s which too often and fearfully
beset our pathway, we were hles.-ed with the rainbow
hues of promise. "The winter of our discontent
was made glorious summer," and a soothing
balmn administered to the many rough wounds incident
to life's great battle. Their kindness is such as
Ao V>r gruwfultj: KUUUlVvroi ? vrw Ivcl Uku
noetry.
The wild Miss of nature needs alloy.
And fear and sorrow fan the fire of joy."
But be this as it may,
"Here's a tear for those who love me,
A smile for those who hate :
Whatever skies above me
Here's a heart for every fate."
Before the Military began their maneuvers, the
Hon. W. W. Boyce being in attendance, "armed and
equipped"?as it is absolutely necessary for a Congressman
to be?on being called upon, addressed a
large and attentive audience for about { of au hour.
We will endeavor briefly, to give the general outline
of his speech:
Mr. Boyce alluded to the apparent calm whieh had
settled on the country after the election of t.encrn]
Pierce: that this calm was more apparent than real,
that the Whig and anti-slavery parties defeated i:i
that election, only waited an opportunity to revive
their opposition. This occasion soon took place on
the passage of the Kausas and Nebraski bill. Mr.
R. explained his understanding of the causes which
induced the Northern democrats to repeal the Missouri
restriction: they expected to su-taiu themselves
by the principles of the Compromise of 18">0,
to the support of which the Democratic party had
pledged itself in its Presidential platform. They
further expected that the Nebraska Bill, while it
conceded the principle of equality to the South,
would not make Kansas a .-lai e Mate, owing to
the greate" ability of the North to colonize. The
nnnositioii to Mr. Pierce's administration at the North
ii
was made up of the Whig n??l anti-slavery elements,
discontented Democrat*, ami Know Nothings. Owing
to this combination, the Northern elections went
against the administration and sent to the House of ;
Representatives, a majority of anti-slaverv men : and
that the Northern Know Nothings were made up of
those who were most opposed to us.
Mr. B. thought the administration of President
Pierce had been a very good one. The only objec- :
tiou that had been urged against it by the South was
the appointment of Keeper, Governor of Kansas.
Thought the President had been mistaken in Keeper.
His object was" to conciliate all parties, and thought
him honest in his endeavor to administer the govern- .
ment according to the constitution.
Mr. Bovck then went into an examination of the
principles, and machinery of the Know Nothing party,
showing that its principles, in opposition to foreigners
an?l catholics, proposed to extend the naturalization
laws. which as a remedy he thought did
not reach the point vital to the South : on the contrary
1
ry, the way in which the South were affected by the
foreign imigration to the North was the extension of
their political power by increasing their basis of representation;
that every 92.000 foreigners who came
to the North gave them an additional member in the
House of Representatives; the influx of 4 or 300,000
foreigners per annum, to the North certainly added
greatly to the strength of the Northern vote in
the House of Representatives : but the Know Nothings
did not propose to cut off this immigration, and |
were only endeavoring to disfranchise it.
He urged that the question with us was not whether
Americans or Foreigners governed the North?it
was a matter of far greater moment that the reins of
government should not be held by abolitionists. In
\t ?? ?i?? ?i? ,k. T
.UU53iV;UU3CU5, n IICIT5 VU I^ ilK'lUUCl UI 11IC i
ture was a Know-Nothing, the action of the State
ha<l in such hands been ultra anti-Southern. Wc of
the South had, therefore, nothing to gain by seeking
to have America governed by such Americans. So
far as we could by any judicious action cut off immigration
to the North, we should be prepared
through our Representative to do it. In regard to
the Catholics, Mr. Boyce thought it unwise to organize
a party agaiust them ; and urged, instead,
that the mattec should be left to our efficient Protestant
clergy, the laity aiding them by material resources.
Mr. B. objected, lastly, to the secret machinery
of the Know-Nothings, as unnecessary at the
South, and of dangerous tendency.
Mr. Boyck referred to what would likely be the
immediate results of the anti-slavery agitation. He
thought there would be great agitation in Congress
but no practical results; inasmuch as the anti-South
m mtm
em majority in the House would be foiled by the cvei
conservatism of the Senate and the Executive. He the
would be astonished, however, by no degree of vio- ana
lepce in the House, next winter. Ultimately, the j pasi
greatly issue would come up on she question of the , the
admission of Kansas, if the became a slave-holding : fick
State, which lie thought probable. This, however, of 5
could not take place for several years. The tenden- rul<
cy of events is inevitably to disunion, which lie ' thn
thought was only a question of time. Our policy, hoo
then, should he the union of the South ; and, thus, if ' tele
the Union could be used to our advantage it might be , ns t
in our power to enjoy the blessing, and if not, we j A
would be the better prepared for seperate independ- anil
I ence. i Uni
We have fTia.% given a hurried but, we t inn if, cor-1 des
, rect synopsis of Mr. Boycr's address. Any com-' kill
, ment from us we deem unnecessary. We were pleas-: tior
j cd to note that his effort was moderate and concilia- j em
j tory throughout. He rightly regarded all parties, at wa>
least as far as South Carolina is concerned, as wed- ncv
j ded to the doctrines of the States' Bight and South- of t
| ern rights school, and lie did not attach any great pm
iinportnnec to issues other than that now pen- bee
ding betwen the North and South. His confidence , poo
in National parties, conventions, platforms ike., was gut
hut feeble ; indeed, the .SW/? was the burden of his '
theme, and with much warmth and eloquence he ur- ' ^
god the great neeessity of Southern harnionv and
pea
iinanimitv, adopting as his watchword?4,??'inality in

Trade of Charleston.
After having passed through several season
J of unusual misfortune, we are glad to learn that our
! Queen City is nowjthe'ahode of healtlifuliiess, and has
- the promise of a return of her former prosperity.?
, Our merchants, who do not care to run the gauntlet
J throngh Virginia, will be interested in the following
paragraph, taken from the Charleston Courier:
! "As the u-u.al period of opening our fall trade is
| at hanJ, it affords us pleasure to be able to assure
, our country friends of the remarkably favorable eonj
dition our city has enjoyed in health. There has not
j only been an exemption, entire nud complete, from
j fevers of a malignant type, but a remarkable exempI
tiou from fevers of all classes, and in all other dis
j eases, our weekly reports have not exceeded what
; must ordinarily be expected. The marine hospital
! has three wai4s entirely closed?a rare thing at this
season?and for the past fortuight there have been
1 but seven patients, of all classes, iu this establishment."
! Something Huge !
Since the vegetable season commenced we
J have been constantly edified by huge stories of huge
1 edibles, of which for sundry purposes our brothers
! of the quill have been the recipients. We are now
prepared to "squash" the whole of them. A correspondent
from DenuctUville tells us that Mr. Miller
of that town has raised in his garden, this summer,
| three xqunnlifs, one weighing "A, another .'10 and the
i third 2-3 pounds. Of course we havn't caught sight
! i<f the vegetables, but our friend is a reliable individual
and we take his word for it that "it's no fiction."
Can't this beat the Chester "squash?"
Another: Our friend Mr. Amos Templetou of this
t District actually put in our possession a rare sp
men of potato?a lineal descendant of green Eri
made up of a motherly -looking "pratie" and six
ones,all joined together lovingly, and reminding <
! for all the world, of a real Irish family?weigh
one pound and twelve ounces. If our soil can
i such wonders, surely our friends from the Emei
! Isle need fear no evil. It is the host argiun
against K'liuw Xothinirism we have vet mot with.
