FROM WASHINGTON. i i*u- -f/Th* **' nn^riip, 7?- a [Correspondence of the Carolininu.] Washisotow, June 28, 1854. Tlic President's message, announcing the Acceptance by Santa Anna of the treaty, Was sent to the Hotl.*, and a hill was reported from tiie Committee of Ways and Menus / Appropriating tcu millions to carry into cf fecials stipulations. Mr. Kknton said he desired that timo be Allowed for the consideration of this bill, to ascertain if the privilege of the House liad not been \ iolntcd in the negotiations." The time for the exchange of ratifications is limiied to the 30th instant, whieh will require immediate action. If there is any opposition beyond Colonel Benton, who is desirous to defeat it, it will be in their power to do so. Should such occur, it will be the first time in the history of this government that the treaty-??? n.king now or is made subservient to the House. It will he the only occurrence that denies the supremacy witli which that power is conferred by the constitution. Tho anti-Nebraska party, for such they may bo designated, have issued their address tA the people of the United Suites, which is much beyond their right to claim attention, recapitulating the origin, the proceedings, to the final passage of those acts, arranging the aggressivo power of slavery, with the violation of solemn compacts, and alarmingly apprehensive of the future growth and final sepaiation of the Southern from (lie Northren and Eastern States, the doubtful constitutionality of the fugitive slave law, the acquisition of Cuba, the annexation of Mexico and the whole continent, and pushing the war even into Africa. Such are some of the peculiar arguments they sublr.it to the people ??f the United States, and conclude with the desire to do all in their power to restore the Missoui i compromise, and represent these in I he national councils. Its object is apparent- A pretended representative power, false statements, unfair inferences, made up of that morbid fanaticism which is used for the purpose of pandering to a debased constituency. Mr. Rockwell, the new Senator from Massachusetts, presented a petition for the repeal of the fugitive slave law, which he desired to refer. Mr. Dixon,*of Kentucky, ft moved that its reference be postponed until to-day, when he and some others desired to be heard on it.

Butler is to go to Kansas, and Mr. Recder, of Pennsylvania, to Nebraska, as Governors, and that Rush Elmore, esq.,of Alabama, will be associate Judgo for Kausas.

Mr. Editor :?Recognizing your excellent journal ns a standard in all social matters, j wo would respectfully ask your opinion on i the toiiowing point of etiquette, tu; Who I should on meeting, speak first, the lady or I the gentleman ? Wo have been involved in numberless disputes U]x>n that point with both Indies and gentlemen, and Lave been frequently "hauled over the coals " for not speaking, when we really were at a loss whether etiquette required us or the lady to speak first Hoping you will pardon us for troubling 1 you on this subject, we are Your* respectfully, Chesterfield. Wk do not exactly consider it our perogative to decide contested points of etiquette, i I We are not a Con rrt ^D'C^pay, a Lady Wee- ' 1 sington ; neither can we give or enter into a!1 the little particulars of a" turning point * i like Mf- Willis of the Home Journal, nor ' have we entirely reed Mia* Leslie's "Good 1 behavior * Bst when our opinion ts aakeb we infer that liberty is granted us to give it, I and that, too, frankly. It is not to be sup- I ,* r tbt if./ j i . !?m ?** * 9 * posed that a gentleman would dare to recognise a lady in the afreet, unless a particular friend, and there were evident signs of a mutual mogahioa on the part of the lady, which one iftayMfriaily detect The ladies, when they walk, art not ignoemt of the ones they tre% about meeting, andean easily discover wither it js to bo asOfcnger or ft' acquaintance.

" masked batteries," from Kguml which they are Remitted to peer, without being discovered, and 4f she be anxious to avoid a recognition, she can easily u turn those lowly eyes away." We believe (and so, are think, does " Chesterfield,") that it is the hfcly who should speak first, but we live in a great and free country, and every one may hold his tongue or broach-?-as he like*. Times have changed, however, since the days of Lord Cheatctfield, and where once the gentlemen looked for the ladies first to speak, ihe latter now declare that they are and have been waiting for tho gentlemen to propott. May they never v.'5it long. A DAY IN THE COUNTRY, AND A HVPI'ER UT THE WAY-SIDE. Foa one who has over been housed, or permitted to wnnder do farther than the purlieus of a home, or the village, a day wellspent amid tho sceneries of tho country amply rewards him for the time seemingly lost. There are pleasures to he found in the coun- : try which ilic poor denizens of a city or' town arc entirely ignorant as to their exist-! enee. The cold conventionalities which we are compelled to submit to are entirely lost in ( the free, open-henrted frankness of the coun-1 tryinnn! We have always thought we would like , very much to be for once enjoying inc scene- ; r:es and pleasures of which w e have read and heard so much. And thus whilst we have no preternatural inclinations to pass everything 1 good" by the l>oarcl, it is unnecessary to say we availed ourselves of the oppoitunity a | short time since, of spending a pleasant day in n delightful and romantic section of our i District. Bent u^ou "seeingeverything to be soon," and enjoying to tlio utmost the little time allotted us, it is no wonder we imagined that the birds sang sweeter and loudsr, the wild flowers to lend a fragrance heretofore unntiributed to them, and the foliage jf the trees to give a deeper shade, whilst i .he bright summer sun secined to shine more j sweetly with attempered beams, ami shedling down "A milder and more grateful warmth." Wc had left Circenvillc for the purpose of being present at the "hot supper," given by ' the ladies of the lower part of the IHstriet, iml to which we had been invited through I heir kindness and re.-peet. After loosing our 1 iray several times, (a consequence wo had 1 provided for,) we found to our great satisfaction that wc had arrived at the place to which our endeavors had been tending. It wns tnie?we were really there, and enjoyng the cool shadows of the sourrounding recs. Twilight, short arbiter 'twixt day and light, soon faded away, and evening came, " an evening bright, and still. As ever blushed on wave or bower: Smiling; from heaven m if nought ill, Could happen in *o sweet ?n hour." It wns not long before we made the acquaintance of ninny,when the time glided lees heavily away. We were soon permitted to gaze lit the " Curiosities," which the young ladies had planned, and fitted up, and there, too, permitted to look at "a life-like picture " > r?f one that wc knew, and one we have ever 1 liked. The one we saw, reader, our modes- ( ty forbids telling, but there were others who j were as much delighted as ourselves?" who I paid as much to see." Then came the snpper?a kot one?and wasn't it just such a supper as only "Carolina ladies " know how to get up! After all bail partaken freely there was left a sufficiency " of the same sort " for hundreds more. Supper over we were told oiat to the accommodations of the evening a Post-Office had been added, at which might be found letters from correspondents and friends. Information was also given that our correspondents had followed us, and thai letters to the "Krv terpriae n were awaiting delivery.

Until the friends of i "Prohibition," act thus, they cannot achieve ' much. Every grog-house politician has ' suddenly showhra great regard for the "Constitution," and more than one Newspaper? to our shame be it said?has re-echoed the sentiments of those political "rummies."? i We admire conservatism in its nlnce ? lmt Jf under tluit plea, the interest* of the people i arc to be sacrificed, their lives jeoparded, their property injured, we would gladly j banish it from tlio political text-book.

Many unused to tears, nro daily in a "melting mood." If it were not for the cording breezes from the Congaree, and an abundance of ice* cream and soda-water, we natives would really be in a "fix." Many, however, will leave before long for watering places at the North, or to recreate awhile in the plesant villages of the up-country. IIow will Greenville suit for a summer retreat (Try it?Ed.) We have to record the death of another of rum's victims. Mr. -of Lexington Uwtrict, fell off Ins wagon this morning, while not in a sober condition, nnd was killed. "In the midst of life we are in death." Who will be responsible for the murder of that unfortunate man, the ono who sold him liquor or the Authorities who authorized it to be sold! We had the pleasure of greeting to day the "Father Mathew" of South Carolina, Judge J. Ik CNkall, who is at present in our city. Our citizens were gratified on Saturday evening, at witnessing the evolutions of a detachment from the "Richland Volunteer Rifle Company." They acted admirably and received encomiums of praise from all present. That Corps intend "showing off" on July. 4th, and if nothing happens "we will bs thcrz ?roe," to report.

Curious Historical Facta. Thk wife tho of celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the "History of the Rebellion,* and a Welch pot-girl, who, being, poor in her country, journied to Loudon to better her fortune, and became servant to a brewer. While she was in this humble capacity, the wife of her master died, and ho happening to fix his affections on her she became Ins wife?himself dying soon after, leaving her heir to his property, which is said to havo amounted to between ?20,000 and ?30,000. Among those who frequented the tap at the brewhouso was a Mr. Hyde, then a poor barrister, who concieved uic project ot forming a matrimonial alliance with her. He succeeded, and soon led the brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde being endowed with great talent, and at the command of a large fortune, quickly rose in his profession, becoming head of the ChanceSlicnch, and was afterwards the celebrated yde, Earl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter, the offspring of this union, won the heart of James, Duke of York, and was married to him.?Charles II, sent immediately for his brother, and having first p'icd him with some very sharp raillery on the subject, finished by saying, "Jsmes, as you have brewn so you must drinkand forthwith commanded that the marriage should Ik> legally ratified and promulgated. Upon the death of Charles, James mounted the throne, but a premature death frustrated this enviable consummation in the person of his amiable Duchess. Hor daughters, however, were Queeu Mary, the wife of William,and Queen Anne, both grandchildren of the ci-devant pot-girl from Whales, and wore in succession the crown of England. An Ei.opemkkt.?A Mrs. Davidson, resida few miles from Lawrencehurg, Kyn loft her home on last Saturday, in company with a married man, who was also hor brother-inlaw. The guilty woman not only abandoned him to whom she had pledged vows of fidelity at the marriage altar, but also deser- ted two helpless children, one of them not a year old. Mr. D. was awakened about 12 o'clock on the night in question, by the cougiu^g of Iiis youfc^sst child, and fVw? dw-! covered thnt his wife had disappeared. The nest was still warm, but the bird had taken flight. Upon going to the door, be observed the wife and her paramour a short distance from the house, and at first determined to I shoot them ; but, on reflection, concluded to let them escape unbailed. The moat aggravated feature of the case, however, and that wRteh affected the forsaken husband more than the loss of his frail partner, was, that the man (whose name was not given) had lx>rrowed money of him on Saturday morning, which waa doubtless used in carry-1 ing off his wife! The runaways also took with them a fine horse, valued at $150, a gold watch, and Other articles of value.?
