This is certianly one of the ablest Messages
delivered to our Legislature for years,
and is worthy of i!s distinguished author.
It contains many uieful .suggestions, ami is
sound throughout in its doctrine, at least in
our humble opinion. From its length we
are unable to give any of it to our readers
this week, but will endeavor to do so in our
nort.
Monochromatic Painting.?Wo wonltl
call the attention of the public to the advertisement
of Mr. C. Jl. J3ean, found in our 1
advertising columns. lie is on a visit to
our village for the purpose of lonning a
Glass in this now und beautiful style c?f
painting. From the specimens of the art
and his drawings which we have seen, we
recommend him to the lovers of the most
delightful of all accomplishment*?drawing
and painting.
The Daily Telegraph.?This is the title
of a very neat daily and (ri-wcekly paper
recently established in Columbia, under
tho. fm^nipo"! nf "P.il ivn nl ?,!ll miii! .7film
Stubbs. So far, we have been enabled to
Teceive news as early by the Telegraph as
by tac Charleston papers. Term?, for the
daily, J$G.OO, tri weekly, #3.00
Fire isa CI;a5csi?si.
We learn from the Charleston papers
that a fire occurred in that city on the :23d
instant, in which 1200 bales of cotton, GOO
boxes of tobacco, bagging, bale rope, and
other articles of merchandise were destroyed.
The budding in which the fire
broke out, belonged to Mr. C. Magwood,
and was insured for $5000; the articles of
merchandise were also covercd by insurance.

The Lc^islaltire.
Nothing of much importance as yet has
been done in the Legislature, up to the latest
dates which we have received, the
time had been pretty much employed in
tho presentation of petitions an<i, bills and
the election of Commissioners in Equity for
the several districts whose oflice<f were vacant.
Nothing is said with regard to the
successor of Chancellor Il.irner. ' It is the
general impression that the Session will be
an interesting one from the excitingsubjects
which will be discussed ; among which is
the giving the election of Electors to the
people, the Mexican war, and last but not
least, the Wilrnot Proviso.
By our next issue the members of this
body will have their harness on and we
trust we shall be enabled to giv<* our readers
something interesting of thc-ir acts and doings.
In another por tion of this week's paper
we have given an extract of their proceedings
so far that is of any interest.
Peace Rumors.?A ruinor is ciiculating
about Washington and in the Northern papers,
that a treaty of peace will shortly be
negotiated between Mexico and the United
States, that Mr. Trist is on his way home
with three Mexican commissioners for this
purpose. The Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Comtnercc
says : "There is some reason to believe,
according to what I hear to-day, that a treaty
is about to be made, or has been made
with some body in Mexico, which our commissioner,
recognized as a government; or
dIi/miI/I Quit fliof i t\ o/lmi
( AWVUV1 X OiiUUlU Otl y lUUL IUU UUII1I I1ICII illiuu
cherish the belief, that they will receive
a treaty of peace with Mexico before or
soon after the commencement of the session
of Congress." ^
There is hut little confidence to lie placed
in this rumor as it conflicts with the l itest accounts
we have from Mexico. Although we
-jfegard the war as in a^manner terminated,
Ive belieTe that peace ja a.s far off as ever,
Bfu^^t the Mexicans would tako the field
o^tSsW-morrow, had they an armv and
munitions to f^Jit with, hut thanks to American
valor they have not. The proul flag
of^tho .^gnificent 4gR>ilal lias been torn
from its place, and tho gt?fous banner with
the stars and stripes cJcvatcd in its stead.

UtlJJllCL U11UK1L
Delegates from X. Carolina, Greenville,
Anderson, Abbeville, Edgefield. Laurens.
Newberry, Paii field, Lexington, Charleston
and Columbia, were in attendance.
The Convention was organized by calling
the Hon. J. IV O'Neall to the Chair,
J. L. Gantt acting us secretary.
A Committee was appointed to verify
proxies.
Delegates from Fairfield and Columbia
were called on for reports of subscriptions,
relinquishment of right of way, etc., which
was responded to.

Report and estimates, which were presented
and read. They were accompanied by a
beautiful and accurately executed map of
the various lines which had been ordered to
be surveyed, with their several modifications.
They embrace the line running up the valley
i onthe east side of Broad River, to Cannon's
' Creek?crossing the river at ihis point?
; thence up Cannotl'^ Creek to Newberry C.
II., thence to Bush lvivei', and crossing Saluda
at Dyson's Ferry, thence !hrough Abbeville
District, passing near Cokesbnry,
j Cambridge, and Greenwood, to Anderson
i C. II., thence to (Jreenville C. II. Ano
I uier line, crossing uroad lCiver at Hull's
i Sluice, ascending to the ridge, thence by
i'Frog Level to Newberry C. H., tlionce up
the ridge via Laurens C. II. to Green villa
G. H., with various deflexions and modifications
at and about, the villages. The report
and map bear ample testimony to the indust|
ry and ability of the chief Knginecr and his
corps of assistants.
Mr. Sill, from Columbia, offered a Resolution
that the report, estimates, &c. bo referred
to a committee composed of delegates
from each district represented in the
Convention, to consider, nnd report upon
a route to be adopted.
Upon this Resolution a discussion ensued,
embracing-, among them Gen. Thompson,of
Greenville, who took occasion during
| his speech to give notice of his intention to
! offer a Resolution (which he afterwards did
I offer,) declaring it expedient, at this time, to
! locate the road.
The resolution t< refer the report, &c. en
countering considerable opposition from several
parts of the house, was withdrawn.
The vole was then taken on CJen. T's Resolution.
and it was rejected almost unanimously.
A Resolution was offered declaring it the
sense of the Convention, that the route from
Newberry C. II. through Abbeville, via
Anderson C. II. to Greenville, should be
adopted for the main trunk of the road.
Upon this, a very warm and animated
discussion arose, in which Messrs. Thompson,
Perry and Townes, of Greenville,
Ilerd and Orr of Anderson, Thomas of Abbeville,
and Irby of Laurens, participated.
This discussion continued throughout the
afternoon and evening session ; and was resumed
the next morning?rather increasing
in warmth aud earnestness.
At this stage of the proceedings, the President
gave notice, that the Lexington subscription

I .p "" -? M,v ?
pass within ono mile of Lexington village,
and as that route had been pronounced impracticable
by the Engineer, the subscriptions
were therefore withdrawn ; and consequent
upon this, the director from that District,
(Co!. Boozer,) had withdrawn froin
t!it- Diiccliou. lie ilicit staled, with niin-li !
feeling, that from present indications, ho j
much reared the whole project was in great i
danger of failure; he therelore proposed to j
the Convention, to raise a Committee, composed
of one gentleman from each di.>trict,
to take i 110 que.lion of route into consideration,
anil to report some modification of the
proposed route, upon which the Committee
might agree.
The proposition was seconded, and an
earnest appeal made to the Convention ot
make a manly eflort to save this groat work
from failure ; that a heavy responsibility res- 1
ted upon ihetn ; that the ryes of the people
from all parts of'the State were llxed upon
them, that upon their action on this occasion
would very mu.-h depend the success,
not only of this seemo, but all oilier similar
enterprises to uo projected jii tin? otaie.
The Committee was unanimously oiler- 1
ed. They r?*fired, and alter sumo tunc
spent in anxious conference, reported, ibr

to the cllect, that tin: main trunk <>l the i?ad

Two of the four members of the Commit;
toe.who bad opposed the llesolution in Cun,
von lion, now gave their assent to it.
i The vote was then taken, and the lle.so,
Jut ion rejected.
j It was then proposed, that the main trunk
j of the road .should run from Newberry U.U.
i crossing Saluda, as above, running through
! Abbeville to Anderson (J. IL, thence to
I CJreenvillo C. H.
! The vote being taben by shares, it was
I decided that the above should be the route
I ol the main trunk of the road.
I Upon this result being declared, the de
: legation from Greenville ami Lauren*. gavo
j formal notice that their subscriptions heretol'<?re
made should he withdrawn, and that
! they would, in a body withdraw from the
i Convention, which they accordingly carried
into cilect.
The President then expressed his fears
that the whole scheme must fall through?
' that six Directors had already withdrawn
from the Company?that he, having now
no confidence in the project, would soon
withdraw, and that it would be necessary
lo make provision for this state of things.
After this, the Convention proceeded to
locate the line of the ro.id, from Columbia,
up Liroad River, on the cast side, to the
mouth of Cannon's Creek?the lino from
thence to Newberry C. H. to be decided on
hereafter, by the Board of Directors.
The Convention then ordered the Chief
f^.Twrin/?Ar In nr*r?/?nn/l tr>
that steps be talcen to make contracts for
the construction of the work, etc. and that
a committee be appointed to memorialize
the Legislature to aid this great enterprise
The Convention then adjourned.

j of conversation here. It is to be noticed
I mat, lor sometime, tne oiuciul organ has

ment in regard to the future objects of the
; war. Subjugation has been effected, and
occupation has actually taken plaec.?
Peace or permanent occupation, with the
consequences of occupation, must follow;
no declaration of future policy will come
! from the administration, nor u it necessary,
lor a continuance of occupation will lead to
I annexation. At the beginning of this war,

! our pcopic, iiu'cmo liomnns, would inhabit
! wherever they conquered. Signal proof of
! this we have in the present condition of
j California. It is already Americanized.
! The gentlemen who have lately arrived
S here from California, assure mo that the
: country will never be reconquered by Mexi
ico, can never again come under Mexican
dominion, arid must be independent, or bei

.
h'tio man, weighing about 175 or 130, had
shipped at Savannah, and was unknown to
the rest ol tho crew.
He alone was armed with a sheatho
knife, which ho drew and declared ho
would plunge into tho heart of the first one
! who approached to carry out the fatal
! chance. Upon this the captain retired to
i the cabin, saying he would have nothing
i more lo do with the aflair, thinking that
they were all near their end.
At this moment a boy named Hughio
Rose, of liangor, Maine, aged 10 spoke up
| and saiu mat the youngest should die Urs?,
j this irec will ollering was about to bo acj
cepted by Brown, as the captain with the
! boy went info the cabin. Captain Smith
states that as he throw himself upon the
berth his eye was attracted to a handle:
slicking up near, which he thought belonged
to an adze. lie told the boy to fetch it,
j and it ptoved to be an adze.
; i tanking that something wrong was
j about to be unacted on deck. he followed
; the hoy when he returned, and saw the boy
i seized round the waist by the now despej
rate Urown, with the intention of making
I him the victim. At this moment the capJ
lain states that he felt filled with extraordi:
nary strength, stepped forward and drove
the arize twiee into the head of Brown, and
he fell dead upon the deck.
It is supposed l>y Captain Smith, from the
f:ict th:il II w.-ic nnnn jhr? firm
? ?- *
of Brown, that he shipped under a feigned
name, lie was about 35 years old.
Alter he was dead, 1 he captain bled and
I dressed him. Mis flesh was partly cut into
j thin strips and laid upon the deck to dry.
I ljiit the crew did not hunger lor food, water
! being their chief desire. His blood was
' used lor drink until the morning that they
I were taken oil", when about a pint remained,

On the morning of the 13tli early, three
vessels hove in sight, one of which, the
brig Tnmpico. Captain Brown, bound from
New Ha von lor the West I?*lies, took oft*
the three survivors, viz: Win Smith, p'*
Biddelbrd, Maine, the captain, Horace,
i Smith, of do. the mate, Ilughie Ilose, of
; Bangor, the boy preserved from death by
; theac'.ion of the captain. The two former
I were transfer rod fr? tin* Ilr srlir. Rnlnndid.
j and arrived at Philadelphia, as stated in the.
I other article.
The boy was retained on board the Tatnj
pico, the captain promising to take care of
him. Captain Smith slates that if Brown
j had submitted quietly to his fate, they would.
| not have had the heart to have killed him
but he did not think it was right that the
boy, afier running one chance for his life,
should after all become the victim, and he.
appears to think that ho was suddenly
gifted with the strength to save him.
An idea may be formed of the nearness
of death to this unfortunate crew from the
fact that the captain's feet and nails both
lurncu Diacjf, anu 111s nails have not as yet
obtained their natural color. The blood of
Brown, probably, saved their lives, as they
subsisted on it two whole days.
The Caroline is a total loss. She is insured
at the Neptune office in this city for
