% ' y From the Baltimore Sun. Thirty-First Congrcss--lst Session. Washington, July 19. In tne senate, auersome umuipiuiui. IIIU1II- I ing business, the California bill was taken up, and Mr. Hunter spoke about an hour and a half in opposition to the bill, and particularly to the provisions relative to fugitive slaves. The bill, if it passed, would not send peace, but a swnrd tn the country. Mr. Foote foRowed at length in reply, and in ^opposition to the construction put by some on the position of the Nashville Convention. He said the convention, in their report, did not require any thing beyond non-intervention. The South wished no protection beyond what the Constiution gave her. Mr. Butler said that South Carolina, as one State, would never submit to be subjected to the arbitrary control of a majority, irresponsible to the South. South Carolina would do as much as any State to preserve the Union, but she would stand fast to the pledges which she had exchanged with other States. Mr. Foote declared his belief that the people of South Carolina, almost universally euudenined the treasonable sentiments uttered by persons in that State, in the Fourth of July toasts, published in the Charleston Mercur}'. ? The State of Mississippi had not backed out of any thing she had said. The patriotic and noble Union sentiments, uttered yesterday, by the Senator from Massachusetts would be responded to by the people of Mississippi, and maintained, if need be, on the battle-field. Mr. Hale had thought heretofore, that the abolitionists had brought all the trouble on the country, but now the truth was coming out? Northern fanatics were now forgotten, and the real enemy, Southern effervescences and agitators are now brought to light. l,ofl nnt imtinod Northern fanatics i'lll A. UUIV HUM l?V? . - because he thought the}' were extinct Mr. Hale began to think some good would grow out of the bill. He was in a comfortable state of indifference in regard to the controversy between Southern men. The seat of the disease was now disclosed. We see where the difficulty lies. Mr. Jefferson Davis followed in explanation and vindication of the report of the Nashville Convention. Mr. Foote replied. Mr. Atchison said the subject did not relate to the bilT. He asked the question on the amendments of the Senator from Mississippi, Mr. Foote. . The first amendment to fix the line of 34 as the Northern boundary of Texas was rejected. Ayes 20, nays 34. The question was put on the second amend ment, recommending to uaiuorma 10 reuuue her boundaries, so as to allow a new territory (of Colorado) to be erected south of the 35th parallel of north latitude. Mr. King was desirous that such a change be made in the bill as to settle the question. He was destroos of fcMUng the giuumia w? whtch he should ultimately vote against it, unless it guarded poqtberu rights. As the bill stood, it did not authorize southern men to give it their support. He moved to strike out all after the word provided, and insert the following: The boundary of the State shall be on the ostiifVi / r/ii OWUIII .y-J.i.,., .j, ... Mr King gave way to a motion to adjourn. The Senate then adjourned. July 20?In the Senate, Mr. Benton offered a resolution for an enquiry into the expediency of erecting the office of recorder of land titles for California; referred. The compromise bill was taken up. Mr. King spoke in favor of his amendment. Mr. Foote withdrew his amendment proposing an alteration of the limits of California, as it would evidently, he said, weaken the bill. Mr. King offered his amendment restricting the southern boundary of California to 35 degrees, 30 minutes, lie would not vote for this bill without the amendment, and the reduction of the number of representatives from California to one. | Mr. Berrien spoke on the same side, and contended also, that it made no difference whether the Wihnot proviso was imposed by Congress directly or by continuing the constitution of California. Mr. Clay and Mr. Foote replied. Mr. Berrien re-enforced his remarks. Mr. Butler re-stated some of his opinions previously expressed. Mr. Foote replied, to Mr. Berrien who rejoined. W.,1n cold n M'nnb nrrr\ mAVAf] fn IflV I iu i . AiuiU Oiliu u nv^n tv?yx'y "v * w~* "v this bill on the table. He withdrew it at the earnest request of the Senator from Mississippi. He would still refrain, from courtesy, if we could have votes instead of talk. The question was on the amendment of Mr. King, proposing the line of 35 deg 30 min. Mr. Jefferson Davis moved to amend the amendment so as to insert 3G deg. instead of 35. The motion was put on the latter, and decided in the negative. Yeas 23, nays 32. The original amendmendment was rejected by 20 to 37. Mr. Clemens moved to lay on the table the whole bill, but withdrew in order to allow Mr. Foote to offer an amendment. Ho would move nn jidiniirnment with the understanding that to morrow the Senator from Ky., (Mr. Clay) would be heard. Mr. Clay would be glad,he said, to have the question settled definitely He would prefer an indefinite postponement to laying it on the table, whenever it may bo taken up. Ho would consent, as far as he was concerned, that the final question lie taken on Tuesday. He would not be able to speak till Monday. Mr. Berrien would vote against laying the bill on the table, because he would wish to make some remarks on the engrossment ot the bill. Mr. Underwood suggested that to-morrow the motion to fill the blank be made, and the various sums voted on. If the bill should not meet his views, he would like to say something before the final question. The Senate adjourned. July 20.?In the Senate, Messrs. John Davis and (Ireene presented memorials in favor of a modification of the tariff of 1842. It was ordered, after debate, that 3,000 copies of Professor Espy's report on meteorology be printed. Mr. Cass called up his resolution respecting the exercise of civil authority by military ofiicers, with a view to;enable Mr. Pearce, ofMd., to speak. Mr. Pearce spoke in vindication of the course of the late President Taylor, and in reply to the lecent remarks of Gen. Houston. An executive message was received from the Presidedt. Hie Senate, on motion, went into o-vonntivA SACcinti nn.l tliA Spnfltp shnrtlv after adjourned. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Strong moved a resolution which was agreed to, to close debate at 1 o'clock to-day on the application of Mr. Almond W. Babbitt to a seat in the House of representatives as a delegate from Deseret. , The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. McLane ol Md., in the chair,) and resumed the consideration of the Deseret case. i Messrs. Bissell and Sweetzer advocated the admission of the delegate, and Messrs. Vedable, Mc Willie and Strong opposed his admission. The resolution of the commiitee on elections, declaring it inexpedient to admit Mr. Babbitt as a delegate from Deseret. was then adopted, reported to the House, and finally laid on the table, bv a vote on veas and nnvs of 104 in the affirmative, and 78 in the ifcg&ive. On motion the House adjourned till Monday July 22.?In the Senrte, Mr. Houston presented the proceedings of a meeting of the citizsns of Matagorda county, Texas, in opposition to the interference of the United States government with the claims of Texas. The Compromise bill was taken up and Mr. Clay spoke at length. He took a view of the state of the question in a very lucid manner, and gave a summary of the arguments in support of the bill. He considered the objections to Gen. Taylor's plan, but passed a warm eulogium upon him as a statesman and patriot and soldier. He approved entirely of his foreign policy, and as tr? hin rtnnipctio. nnlie.v. it was not fullv devel oped. He spoke particularly and strongly on the subject of the dispute pending between Texas and New Mexico. There was a prospect, if Congress did not interfere, of a civil and servile war. It would begin on the Rio Grande and soon reach the Potomac. He alluded to the daily conference of Southern and Northern opponents of the bill. Mr. Mason remarked that the Southern men conferred together with a view to fhe protection ot Southern rights and interests. Mr. Clay said the bill was framed by those who conferred with a view to the protection of the interests of the whole country, the whole Union. Immense applause, cheering, clapping and thumping, for some time, The chair in vain interposed. Mr. Clay pictured the consequences of the failure of this bill?civil war; and when war begins no one would sue its ond. lie ridiculed the rhodomnntade of some Southern disunion* ists?particularly of Mr. Rhett, a member of the Nashville convention. As to a Southern confederacy, he argued that it would be impracticable, because t!?e people residing on the head waters of the Mississippi, and its tributa . U i it 1 it _..lt. ry streams, wouiu never consent mat me ihuhui of the river should be controlled by any foreign power?any power alien them. He appealed to the Senators from Virginia, Rhode island and Delaware, to sustain that bill. He had been aware, for some days, that the bill was not certain to pass. But it was better calculated to maintain the honor and interests of the country than any that could be devised, It might be defeated. It would be a triumph of abolitionism?of ultraism. Mr. Barnwell spoke in explanation of the character of a valued friend, meaning Mr. Rhett whose character was above reproach. m. a:a nnf ininn/1 Ia flSennrorva Wr V"?J U.U .lUfc lU Rhett. He knew him and had some respect for him. Rut if he had made use of the declarations imputed to him, at the meeting in Charleston, he was a traitor?and 1 hope, said Mr. Clay, he will meet with the fate of a traitor! [Loud applause ]. Mr. Clay hoped that the sentiments of disunion wee confined to South Carolina. There were men in other States as gallant as the people of South Carolina, and he would answer for Kentucky that thousands and tens of thousands of her noble sons would rush to arms in support of the standard of the Union against the rebels. Mr. Barnwell said there were two ends to a rope. A rebel might die honorably in defence of the right. Ue did not doubt the gallantry of other States, but South Carolina would defend justice at the hazard of safety. Mr. Hale replied to some points in Mr. Clay's speech. Mr. Clay rejoined. The Senate adjourned. Nesbit Iron Works.?We are gratified to learn, (says the Charleston Courier,) that the Bank of Uie State of South Carolina has recently effected a most advantageous sale of the iN'esbit Iron Works, and of the slaves and other property connected with them. A Company chiefly of Swedes and Germans, consisting of C. YV. Hatnmarskold, Esq., President, aud Messrs. J. H. Kulb, Klink ?Sc YVickenberg, P. H. Hammurskold, W. B. Ileriot, Geo. S. Cameron, W. Jessen, Jocob Small, C. H. Panknin and H. Schroder, have purchased the Iron Works, and a portion of the slaves, for $114,000; and Mr. J. B. Ulm has purchased the rest of the slaves for $60,000. clear of all expenses. and netting to the Bank 8*174,000?extinguishing the entire debt to the Bank, within two or three thousand dollars, whicii are amply secured. Thus has this heavy liability to the Bank been adjusted, not only without loss to the institution, but in such a way as secures the continued operation of the valuable Iron Works in question, with highly improved prospects of success. We learn that the President of the Company, who has large experience in the iron business, in his own land, pronounces the iron mine purchased, a superior one in respect of both quality and quantity of material; and, that arrangements have been mado to import Swedish operatives, accustomed to mining operations, early in the fall and winter. We congratulate the managers of the Bank on the successful liquidation of this large debt; and the State on having secured the success of so valuable an onterprize. TMM jJ(D?3BHAILo CAMDEN. 8. C. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 26,1850. PUBLIC HEETINGr. AT the request of many Citizens a Public Meeting will be held on Saturday the 3rd day of August next, at 11 o'clock, at the Couit House, to adopt measures necessary for building a Plank Road to the North Carolina line, JAMES DUN LAP, IntendantT, C, fgyWe call attention to the advertisement of the South Carolina Kail Koaa, cnanging me nour of leaving Camden. l^W We were glad to see that the State Rights Repu&ican brings before the State the subject of a "Monument to Mr. Calhoun." Build it, until its summit is beyond the eagle's gaze, it will not be higher than his fame?let its foundation cover Christendom, it will be no broader?compose it of that essence of ipatter which is a stranger to decay, and it cannot be more durable than his memory. He was a citizen of the world, but a son ot c 1:..- Ih m,, iho Notinn'a ctntpsman. hilt he I Ui JIJcI. 1JU WUO mv tvuiivu v was the Representative of the old Palmetto; his life was a beautiful consistency; his acts eras in our Nation's progress; his private life the mirror of social excellence, and his death a moral triumph. Then let us build him a Monument and on its lofty summit let there be placed his statue, beneath a Palmetto tree; and let that statue be the work of Clarke Mills. We hope the Ladies throughout the South will revive the characters of those of'76, and treat all Tories (now called "submission" or "Clay compromise'men") in the South as the" Women ofthe Revolution did the Tories of that day. Poemi by Mrs. Whitakor. Is the title of a neat little Volume before us.? We have often seen, and as often read, Poems over the signature M. S. W., and now we have thpin all embodied in a pretty little book. I have always thought that Ladies had more of Poetry than men?and perhaps we would have more Boods from them, if it were not that so many a brilliant thought, and Heaven born idea, dies upon the tongue without an fexpression?but finds vent in looks?the eye's language?the soul's representative. Mrs. Whitaker has lived amid the soft ? V 1 ] ly luxuriant isles of tne Tropics?in uiai wuu where every flower is an expression?each zephyred breeze a Poem, and every moonlight night a Tale. And amid that scene is laid the story o the Creole. A story of that love which has for it? emblem, the myrtle or the cypress?thrown beautifully into measure, as the murmuring of the gentle current amid the mountain rocks, which impede its progress. Thus in it, she touchingly de scribes the fraity of human trust. " What is tlie hope that mortals trust T A gilded palace crumbling soon, A painted flower that dies at uoon; A dream of bliss?a passing ray; That cheers the pilgrim's onward way; A meteor, gleaming on the sight; A star, soon hid in clouds of night; A proud ship, sinking in the sea; A bird of Beauty, soon to flee; A Rainbow, o'er the arching He'ven; * ? l.. ,i.? . greuu irru, uy mu h^uiuju^ u* u, A world of joy that may not last; A fragrant zephyr, floating past; A sunny wave?a joyous smile, Short-lived, and living to beguile." A number of other Poems follow the Creole, among which is the "Dying Child's Request."? Tliis is a toucliingly beautiful little ballad, that every mother is sure to read. "Mother, don't let them carry me away down to the dark, cold church yard?but bury me in the garden?in the garden mother." This is poetry itself?-and with the garb of euphoneous measure that Mrs/W. has thrown around it. we need not invite you to read it. Mrs. Whitaker is a Poetess. She has caught the tones of the coral waves that ripple in moonlight upon our southern shores?and her lyre, with its softness, has thrown them back again, with a glittering ecstacy upon the soul. Ex-Governor Aiken is a candidate for Congress from the Charleston District PT The voice of Georgia is being heard (not that of some fishy politicians,) from Savannah to Dalton, swelling up with powerful chorus, "Death tr> cnmnrnmises.' and an assertion of Southern Rights/ l^T Our correspondent "J." informs us that it is rumored among the half-in, half-out outsiders, that Bulwer, the Minister from England will bo recalled. The Southern Press. UurPaperat Washington,me oouthekn mess, as was to be expected, is the subject of virulent attack from contemptible Northern newspaper scribblers, who make slander a business for which they are paid by Editors of papers opposed to the South ?and who let no opportunity pass to manifest their opposition in terms of the most flagrant and unauthorized manner. If the Editor or Publisher ot the Philadelphia Ledger, and all such specimens of humanity, were dealt with as General Wallace has with some who have attempted to misrepresent and villify him, it is very likely a little more of the craw-fish mode of travelling might bo seen?a larelrourade movement honorable. We give our read era one exhibit of the contumely which is attempted to be cast upon our Southern movement?-not (as the Editors of the Southern Press say,) from any concern we feel for the slanders of the scribbler who wrote it, or for the contemptible relics of a fallen faction who instigate or may pay him, but for the purpose of inducing our friends, one and all, to join with us in stili greater demonstrations of approval of the Southern Press. The Southern corrupting fund, for the purposo of establishing geographical parties in the United States, through the aid of the Southern Press here in Washington, seems to be very low, as the new organ of the Nullifiers is getting very dull, and paper and printing of it worse ?????H? than is generally tolerated in a decent eoantry paper. The fact is, in spite of the lash of the ultra Southern members, no money is forthcowing from the States, and the paper is published : at the expense of the members here in Washington. Nobody reads the paper except these members, and nobody cares about it. The great patron of the nullifying organ. Col. Jefferson Davis, the man who charges corruption on others, and whose ambition far exceeds his talents or sense of propriety, will find more difficulty in raising the money for active operations than the men. I expect the Southern Press will live a fortnight longer,and then die of rapid consumption, it will he no more effectual in promoting nullifying views than the Nashville Convention and the Mississippi resolutions, passed by a Legislative caucus, and not by the people of Mississippi in Convention.?Cor. Phil a. Ledger. We insert the above, not from any concern we feel for the slanders of the scribbler who wrote it, or for the contemptible relics of a fallen faction who instigate or may pay him. But we publish it to show the South in what manner anything Southern is assailed from this city in Northern papers. We publish it also to call attention to the style in which a true and gallant Southerner is assailed--and to repel the charge. We say now that we have never received, either from Senator Davis, or from any other member of Congress, a single dollar in aid of this paper, or the promise of aid of anything pecuniary whatever, except from a few who have paid their annual subscriptions for a single paper?the far greater number have not paid at all, because we have not ealled on them, as we have needed no money. We assert now also, that our subscription has risen to more than three thousand already?enough to support it permanently?subscriptions spontaneously sent us without the employment of a single agent, except for a few days in this city* and Charleston. We say, also, that we have already received from subscribers more than four times as much money as the expenses of printing thus far amount to?and that we iiave received from no person whatever, any contribution or guaranty, nor have we bargained for any, nor do we expect any for any extrinsic suppoit of this paper beyond regular subscribers and advertisers?unless the receipt of fifty dollars from one lady for ten daily subscriptions, and two or three other cases for a smaller number, may be so considered. ?-1- 1 - 11 A ? ? ? . /* vAAAurinrr ?? e assert, also, mat we are iiuw icwi.nijj, on an average, more than a hundred subscribers, and more than a hundred dollars cash, daily, for subscriptions alone, although neither our prospectus nor our paper has as yet reached one-fortieth part of the South. Arid, while on this subject, we may take the opportunity to say, that we know the miserable faction who are engaged in the atteinptto injure this press, because they know its success is the ruin of their hopes. We know, also, that they are not engaged in*the business of defamation alone by their understrapper8~but we know that they would like to perpetrate a still more daring and diabolical design, if they had the courage. We tell them we are prepared, and shall not permit their malignity and cowardice to avail themselves of the courage of others.?

Edit errs?It is truly gratifying to those, who believe the commercial prosperity of Camden depends upon the early construction of the Plank Road, to learn the deep interest taken in the enterprise by our neighbors i i North Carolina. The probability that the road will be built seems now really to approach a certainty. The proceedings, published in }'0:ir paper, of meetings lately held in-Union county, surelv ouirht to be sufficient to arouse our peo pie to prompt action. Let the extended hand ot Monroe be grasped forthwith, and the boon tendered Ire accepted without delay. Why could not preliminary steps, at once, be taken, responsive to the action of that people who offer to pour into our market their trade and produce ? Monroe is in earnest The writer learns from one who was present, that seven responsible individuals rose in the meeting and I stated in succession that thev would take stock, and each build one mile of the Road; and although Charlotte was present, inviting a connection with Union count3*, yet tlie vote was unanimously in favor of Camden. Lancaster is not far behind. The right spirit is pervading her people. Assurances have been given by men of position and influence in that District, that if Kershaw would construct the Road to her District line, they would extend it to the ?.T /l I! 1. a i rNOrin v^uroimu ime, un any ruuw ueeuicvi ujc best, and probably would bave branches running in different directions through her borders, acting as foklers to our market This is as it should be. This is the right feeling, and confidence in the enterprise is strengthening every day. Every section is fast becoming ready to do its part; but all are waiting for Kershaw "to stir the icaters." She should have taken the inoinifnt fitons ns she is at the lower end. the "*l ?I?? ? ? . ? point of commencement, and as her interests are most deeply involved, it is truly astonishing, that her citizens have not, long since, put their shoulders to the wheel, and rolled this improvement right on to a speedy completion.? Surely they have not well considered the advantages, the cheapness, and facilities generally, of carrying out this useful enterprise. The writer pretends, to no accurate knowledge of the route and distance, but he is inform ed by oue who knows every mil? of the way, that a direct line from Camden to Monroe will not exceed 55 miles. Suppose the distance, to include deflections, to be 60 miles.' Various estimates have been made as to the cost, ranging from 81,000 to $1,800. It is wise to take a high figure for a calculation to prevent the evils of a disappointment?and though that portion of the Fayetteville Road, that is finished, it is ascertained, has cost about $1300 per mile; and 44 miles have been recently let out at $1367, to two men, who have, however, the use of the steam saw mills belonging to the corapa< ny, let us place the cost of this at $1500 per It will be seen that a public meeting has been called for the purpose of taking the necessary steps for building Road?Eds mmmmmmmrnmmmmmmmmmimmmmmmrnrnm* mile. The whole Road then to Monroe cantio? cost more than $90,00& Now 22 miles will ' certainly reach tne Lancaster line, and Kershaw' ; will no$he called upon to raise more than $33,OOOt The opinion seems <o be gaining ground that our Town- Council should be authorized to sob"< scribe'fiberaHy for the Road.

The . magnitude of the undertaking*?the fucalculable advantages resulting from u w every class of oar- citizens, and the certain stiy and prop secured to our' market, would well warrant the expenditure of the money.
