MR. WEBSTER'S SPEECH. Unable to give a full report of Mr. Webster's speech on the Southern question, we make such extracts as we think most important for the present temper of the public mind, omitting those oi a more abstract nature. We may say that the speech, as a whole, breathes harmony and forbearance; and, if the same spirit prevails over otliers, the very best results may follow its delivery. The danger, however, is not over .for the South; and it becomes her people to maintain their position with unflinching firmness, until their rights are not only acknowledged, but until they are secure in her own keeping. Extracts from Mr. Webster's Speech. He alluded at sonic length to the conscientious belief, pervading a large portion of the community, tliat slavery is a sin, and incompatible with the christian sentiments of brotherly kindness. lie expressed Ms own conviction mat; there was an honest belief of this character.? But there were also men in the community, who in the too hot pursuit of one duty, forget that there are many others which they overlook : there were men who supposed that they could distinguish between right and wrong, with the certainty of an algebraic equation ; men who , thought nothing good that is not perfect; those, who if they see a spot upon the sun, consider that good reason for striking the sun from heaven ; there were men too impatient to wait for the slow aud gradual working of great and moral causes; they forget that the miracles of Christ in 1800 years have converted but a small portion of the world. It was this state of feeling which had done much toward creating the present difficulties. Returning to the admission of Texas, he ad verted to his own position tlicrcon,quoting iroin his speeches and acts to show tiiat he had always been opposed to it, because he knew that whoever possessed Texas, it would be slave territory, and he was unwilling to extend that institution. He had time and again expressed himself strongly opposed to the introduction of any new slave States or the acquisition of slave territory. Upon that poi ithe knew no change in his sentiments at the present time. [Sensation.] He had on one occasion, he believed, expressed himself against the acquisition of anjT more territory?north, south, east or west He had expressed his belief in the Spartan Maxim: " Improve, adorn what you have; seek no fur- j ther." But what was our present condition i? Texas had been admitted with all her territory, with the institution of slavery and an irrepealable law, by which, if new States arc erected out of any portion of her territory, they shall be slave States. AndJie wished it to be distinctly understood that he considered this government solemnly bound by law to create new slave States out of Texas, wheneverher territory shall contain a population sufficient therefor. Slavery was excluded from California and New Mexico by the law of nature, which had erected impassable barriers to its introduction. This he considered as a fixed Tact that that country was to be free. That was settled by the arrangements of Providence, and could not he changed. Regarding tliis as n fixed fact, he would say that he could not vote for the insertion into any bill, giving territorial governments to the territories, any provision prohibiting slavery there ?any re-enactment of the will of Cod. He would put into it no Wilinot Proviso, nothing that was so useless and nugatory, lie roeaut to stand or fall upon the proposition, that every foot of the territory in this country has a character fixed and irrepealable, and which cannot be changed in any way. In this connection he said that the proviso in the case of Oregon was nugatory and senseless, and observed, that if there were any of the Northern democracy, who now desired to put a Wilmot Proviso into an act, giving government to California, lie supposed the same men would feel it necessary to assert the same principle, for the purpose of saving the snow clad hills of Canada from the foot ol the slave, in case she should be annexed, i In the next place Mr. Webster proceeded to consider the complaint made by each section of the Union against the other, beginning with the complaints of the South, and passing over that in relation to the manner of collecting and disbursing the revenue. He alluded to the difficulty arising from the failure of the North to give proper aid in the capture and delivering up of fugitive slaves. In this he thought the North was in the wrong, and the South right. It was a cause of complaint upon the part of the South, and one which the North ought to remove.? This duty was imposed by the constitution, and it was not consistent with morality for northern men and legislators to attempt to evade this provision. Congress ought to pass some law removing the evil; for one,he designed supporting the bill. Measures were now j (ending in the Senate having that object in view. In connection with this point he made some remarksupon the propriety of legislative instructions, objecting to them, and saying in effect, that ifinstruclions should be sent to him in relation to any matter affecting the interests of the country, he should pay no more regard to them than he would if .appointed an arbiter to decide some matter in dispute between individuals'to the instructions of him who appointed him. Considering, in the next place, the agitation in the North, complained of by the South, he said he had no doubt that during the last twenty years, money enough had been subscribed in the North for abolition presses, societies, and 1 a. iVii/wlnm nf nvnrv wltlVf* ircturca, iu juuuiiaor mv uwuvm v? v .v.j w.?.v in the land; but, unfortunately,he believed, the sympathies of these societies had never been extended in that direction. lie valued highly the freedom of the press, yet it was unfortunately true that the press was frequently prostituted to <eviL Articles were frequently found iu the papers having a mischievous, irritating tendency, ,as there were such expressions in many speeches .made in the Houses of Congress. Indeed, he must say, that the vernacular of the country had been greatly vitiated and depraved by the character of the speeches in Congress. [Laughter.] ? After administering a rebuke to persons for having compared the absolute ignorance of slavery with the inde|>endent, educated, free labor of the North, he eloquently considered the question of dissolution of the Union, scouting (lie idea of peaceful secession. Could any man, lie asked, be so foolish as to expect such a miracle. Could anyone dream of the breaking up of this great country without convulsions ? How could the upheaving of the waters of the mighty deep take place without disturbing the surface? But what was to be the result of disunion ? Where and how was the line to be drawn ? What was to become of the States? What to become of him? Where was the Hag to remain?where the eagle to soar? or was it to shrink and fall to the ground ? The spirits of our ancestors, our very children and grand-children would cry "SI1AMK," if we allowed these ensigns of our national glory to trail in the dust! For one,he would rather hear of national blast and mildew, of war, pestilence and famine, than to hear men talk of secession. He alluded, also, to the Southern Convention. T-T*a uvio Itnnn/i i*\ Iwiliuvu nranfloinan ^ucnriwt/] such assembly for the purpose of considering matters for the safety, perpetuity and prosperity of the Republic. If they had any design of. considering any projects of secession he would only say, that they lyive been inappropriate in their choice of a place of meeting when they selected Nashville. It was said once, that if King William ''could have heard of the conclusion of the peace of Amiens, he would have turned in his 0011111."? The same expression might well be applied to the proposition of secession, talked of over the grave of Andrew Jackson! From F.rskine Minccllanp THE SABBATH AND RAIL ROADS. What right have the stockholders of our rail roads to run their cars, and carry passengers and produce on the Sabbath, while the farmers and are others forbidden to employ their hands or their teams on the same day for the same purpose i ? nat fairness or equality in tins ( As a general thing, those M'ho take stock in rail roads, are among the wealthy of tlie laud, and if any class of citizens should be prohibited from running macliinery aud making money on that day, they are the class. If any man should bo allowed to violate the Sabbath, it is the inan who is too poor to take stock in the rail road?the man who is compelled to work hard all the time to sustain liis family. But such a man must stop hi3 plough aud hoe, his cart and sickle, and rest 011 the Sabbath, wliilc the rich and religious of the land roll tlieir ponderous wagons, carrying freight and passengers, una uius autuugio their weaun by oabuaiu desecration. If cars run on the Sabbath, why may not gins or mills run on that day? Why should the manufacturer bo required to stop his spindles and lose tho work of tifty-two days in they war) A christian brother invests live thousand dollars in a rail road; he, or the company, employs hands every Sabbath lading and unlading and running the cars, and for what I not to as commodate the travelling public, but to make money. At the moderate rate of 7 per cent, his live thousand dollars would bring liim fifty dollars for the tifty-two Sabbaths in the year. A nice little sum! If the poor man was ullowed to lalabor on that, and realize that sum, it would procure him ju6t as much as the christian stockholder procures with his fifty dollars made on the railroad.

Ca$s, in some remarks the other day, stated that he had recently held a conversation with Judge McLean, of the supreme court, as to the Wihnot Proviso, and the power of Congress, under that instrument, to legislate on the question of slavery, in connection with the territories. Gen. (.'. said that kludge McLean fully coincided with liiin in opinion on that point, and further, that he had full liberty from the distinguished jurist to refer to him in the manner he did. Ju^ge McLean is talked of as the free soil candidate for President.

On Monday evening the 11th inst, the Kershaw Section Cadets of Temperance celebrated the anniversary of said Section. At" an early hour the Baptist Church was crowded to overflowing. Soon the Cadets, with their tasty Regalia, came in, followed by the " older Boys," the Sons. An appropriate prayer was ofTered by the Rev. Mr. Lee,?a few explanatory remarks by W. Thurlow Caston, Esq., Worthy Patron?and then followed addresses by Masters McDowall, Kennedy, Lee, Burr, Emmons,. Johnson and Depas*. Of these we shall only say that all of their Parents who were present, had reason to be proud of their Boys?and those who were absent, should be sorry they were not there. After these, Mr. Lee, the Worthy Dep uty, addressed the audience. Master Walker, of Columbia^ contributed much to (he interest of the meeting by. his One performance on the Melodeon, while the Glee Club made us wonder what kind of music there was above, when wt had such on Earth. We wish the Cadets success in getting every youth in Camden into their order. Methinks the parent who sends his son to join the Cadets will never weep to see his manhood years devoted to dissipation and crime. LAURIE TODD. We have been handed a communication from Mr. Grant Thorbum, as the first of a series of letters entitled "Men and Manners of South Carolina.?To the people of New York." We have declined publishing it, for several reasons. Not only that it contains several things to which we c<?uld not subscribe, but because we consider it none of our business to enlighten the North on this question. We have no great anxiety whether they are enlightened at all: certainly not enough to give the use of our columns to it, which might be so much better engaged in interesting our own subscribers. He calls upon the Northern men to come South and see the institution of slavery for themselves?" that the report prevalent there that Northern men, when they come South are watched, is untrue." Here we beg leave to differ: they are watched; and the fault is, they are not watched close enough. We are quite able enough to take care oi our own institutions, without superi visors from the North. What man would not re sist it, as an insult, were his neighbor to make it his business to call upon him for an account of his family affairs, to see whether or not he was conducting them rightly? Besides, we think that Mr. T. has made out the condition of our negroes a little too good. They are now the happiest beings on earth, and there is 110 necessity for making them out any better than they really are. It is with all deference to Mr. Thorburn that we make these remarks. If he will furnish 11s with any of his interesting reminiscences, &c., we will willingly publish them. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun of the 8th instant, signing himself "X." says: " I do not think Mr. Webster ever delivered a more powerful speech than the present, nor one which will be moro highly prized by posterity. "At the close, Mr. Calhoun rose and attempted 1 1* - ? !<!? Mm Knf Air WoKatnr tlin' IU uruith rt lailLU Willi mm j > vmw?v., M.v having immeasurably the advantage over hie antagonist, magnanimously forbore; merely making a few passes at him, to convince him that he could lead him off a prisoner, if the southern Cidelcamjteador should insist upon the combat." Without wishing to detract an iota from the deserved reputation of the great Northern statesman, we would have this gentleman to know that Mr. Calhoun does not attempt to do any thing without generally succeeding. The word attempted was not made to be used in the place where "X." (iltempls to apply it 31 r. Calhoun, like General Jackson, in one particular at least, does what he attempts to do. if" We clip the following extract from the N. Orleans Crescent. If the editors endorse the sentiments therein contained, we think they arc on the wrong track: that's all. To use the words of 1 the paragraph itself, with a slight alteration, we think "there is' great "occasion for a special t ?jjiaa?? movement at tlie South for the protection of her rights; and we therefore hope that the project of holding a Southern Convention will" not "be abandoned Nasiivillf. Convention.?The Baltimore Clipper of the 26th ult. contains the following relative to the proposed Convention at Nashville: "In New York and Philadelphia the proceedings of the abolitionists have been condemned?the Wilmot Proviso has been dropped by common consent in Congress, and there seems to tie a ftir prospect that all the compromises and guarantees of the Constitution will be observed and enforced ?there is, then, 110 occasion for any special movement at the South for the protection of her rights, and we therefore hope that the project of holding a Southern Convention will be abandoned." COL BENTON'S COURSE APPROVED. St. Louis. March 9.?A verv large meeting was held here last night. A series of resolutions were passed, approving of the course of CoL Ben- j ton in the United States Senate, and repudiating ; Mr. Calhoun's speech on the slavery question, and the threats of disunion. They also agreed to make " Bentonisin" a test vote on the Democratic candidates, at the municipal election. The above is an index to a certain class of Mi.^ souri Yankees, who acknowledge Benton as their leader. Mr. Webster's recent speech has been warmly applauded by Benton and Clay, and has already had the effect of lukewartningsome of the Whig presses South. From the apparent Southern face which it bears, it is calculated to deceive. But remember Webster is one man?not. the North?and even he has left untouched the main iviii. \r. /*vn.? i i: r<_i: I'UIUU if lill ifU.

From our new and very welcome contemporary the Erskinc Miscellany, of the 2d inst., we copy the following Capital Hints: TO CORRESPONDENTS. We licg leave to remind all who may furnish j us with communication*, that the first charac- | teristic of a newspaper article is brevity, and the j second is brevity, and the third is brevity.? | Whatever merits of demerits, it may have, it should be short. 1. Short articles requiro more care and labor in preparing, and are, for this reason, likely to contain more valuable thouirht. and more forci O ' ble expression. 2. They arc more certainly read. 3. The man who cannot write a short article, cannot write a long one that is readable. 4. A writer, who says' every thing that he knows on a subject, calculates largely on the ignorance of his readers. 5. Only short articles are extracted into other papers. 6. They give room for greater variety in the ! paper, which is a necessary qualification. 7. As a matter of economy, they save ink and papor for the writer, and time and good humor for the reader and editor. Unless a subject possesses more than ordinary interest, the writer should condense. A series of articles on the same subject slwuld be avoided as much as jwssible. A contributor is less excusable for writing a 1 * t _ 1 ^ at _ .Jli iL. a lung urucic uian an euuur; uie lunnur writes at his leisure, the hitter often in haste, and often with the exclamation sounding in his ears: " more copy, sir," " half a column to fill yet," j icords are the things he needs at such a time.

Mealier, left Mobile on Monday evening, for Montgomery ami when about four miles above this place, was discovered to be on fire on the larboard side, near the toilers. I was sitting directly above it when it made its appearance. We had just taken 011 board about 50 cords of pine wood, and my opinion is, that in less than , three minutes from the time it was first discovered, the cabbin was an entire sheet of fiame. 1 'lliere was about 120 souls 011 board at die time, and I have not seen more titan 50 persons since I came ashore. As soon as the fire was discovered, die pilot steered her towards die shore^ which she reached I>0fore her wheel ropes burnt" ) off. She ran ashore in a very dense cane brake,. -1 her bows 011 and her stern standing out in the ? river. Those who were 011 the front part of die boat got ashore, who were hut few?the greater part of the passangers ran to the stern of the boat to got in the yawl, fxit the deck hands and < firemen had taken possession of it, and iiad left the boat; to go forward was now impossible, as the boat was one sheet of fire, and there wa? great danger of t!ie?cabins' falling ?u them. As the fire spread aft, the scene was terrible: ladies and children had gathered in the extreme after " .i -i?i pari 01 liIc uoai, aiiu uicir cries mr neip can never he erased from my memory. If the yawl had been brought back, they might all have been saved, but the deck hands who had taken, it, ran it ashore in the cane brake and before the Captain and his brother, the 1st mate, could'' return with it to the burning wreck, they wero all burned or drowned without an exception* The Captain did all he could to rescue the passengers, and lie did succed in taking those off who were on the rudder. Those who were for tuuate enough to get ashore, were taken to the the house of .Mr. Mark H. Pettiway, where oWry thing was done for them that lay in his power. Several were sadly burned, but Dr. Caldwell, of Camden, was among the passengers, und he did all in his power to alleviate their conJition, although he was severely injured by the tire. The Captain bad been pushing the boat in J
