Senator Buck of Georgetown County has turned over to the Board of County Commissioners one hundred dollars of his salary, saying that be voted for $500, and he thinks that amount enough. The Commissioners of Georgetown County: have dote:mined to- spend the amount given by Mr. Buck in buying beds and bedding for the Poor House 1 How long before Beaufort County wiij have such, a representative? A good deal of discussion has resulted from the frequency of Mexican raids across the Rio Grande into our Texas J border audi the recent orders issued from the War Department to> General Ord in consequence. The prospect of our being embroiled in a general war with; Mexico and the effect thereof has been freely considered, and many opinions have been expressed in the publie journals. Many believe that it is the design of the adminstratioQ to provoke hostilities, and a New Fork paper boldly assert* that it knows it is the object of the government to bring on a conflict in order that it may ! **eiie upon, and aucx to-the United States, ' ^ A?iAAn Sktntno UQIM1VC uuriueru l<it-Aicau uuuw. The appropriation of $100,000 for free 1 schools was exclusive of the poll tax. The error in the printed act probably arose from the fact that the original bill, which was for double the sum, had the word 4'inclusive," and in somparing it: with the enrolled act, the change was not detected. Other news-papers contained the same error, aud it is irnpor- j taut that the correction be distinctly | made, although the circular is: ucd by the i State Superintendant of Education has given this information officially to the various counties.?Register. The ejection in Charleston county fw i Representatives in the General Assembly, j held on Tuesday last, was a surprise tothe ro ut ardent who never dreamed that the Republicans would abandon a field where last November their ticket \yus elected by a majority of over six thousand. 1 The entire Democratic ticket was elected without opposition. The Xe ws gives the following reasons for the results : ' One story is that the Republicans h id no hope , < >f winning, ami saw no benefit in an oppo- j sition that would aggravate ill-feeling iu the countj'. Another consideration was ; want of money. .An election in Charles-; ton County is a costly matter, and the; expeuses fall upon the leaders. These apparently have no money to spare, and, seeing no gain in electing a delegation which would have no influence in Columbia, they left their impecunious followers to provide the sinews of war as best tlicy ; might A's the rank, ami file have not : a dollar to-bless themselves with there , was no wt.y to provide tickets, or to j send out messengers with them.* 8till another story is, that the Republican leaders have determined to retire into j ? * i 11 i . A r_ private are, ana tnotigni yesreruuy would be a favnrable moment to step out | of the ring. Whatever the reason, tlie ; ttepablfean leaders left their sable sheep to their owo devices, and many, in con*seu.ience, strayed iuto the Democratic foil" A Great Southern Port. | ' At th'is day, three hundred years after j rhj discovery and exploration of the South Atlantic coast of North America by j Europeans, not one of the commercial ' cities of that coast has a harbor adapted h*. draught of water aud capacity to the j J- mauds of modern commerce. Along | th at whole coast from Norfolk to the! extremity of the peninsula of Florida, a ditance of near a thousand miles, not one o: the porrs hitherto utilized will adinit , n -? ? j u.. I ' easels oi tne ciass now uscu m iut- | arrj'ng trade of tlie day." The above concise statement begins ti:*? recently published "prospectus" of; * Tlie South Carolina Land and Improve' j meat Company of Fort Royal" which we ! ii ivv just had the pleasure of "pcrasi ng. In j i!?L little pamphlet of less than thirty i ices convincing arguments are brought forward lo: prove-that the commerce of" j the present day demands tlie establish- ; ment of a port on the South Atlantic cost of the- United* States to which recess tan be had by vessels of great tka-iriit. The time is- ripe f->r the o ; 4ablishi*)3nt of such a jmrt, and the harof Purt Royal answers all of the; .c ilfeiiienK The very qualifications ten-' to recommend it to the eer. of Jod**rn mercantile euterpri.-e .w the le.^ons Ibr its being deserted i he eurlv settlors >f the country, who j more secure in tb i confined locations j .e Charl >to:i and Savannah were =- *. > ? dK.v>. _*-> -v? . .mm -j*- . ? . . . bum, I tiuu they couid have douc upon,] the broad waters of Port Koyal. In . tlio?e days too, prior to the era of rail | roads, it was desirable to select a site on a nav igablc stream to ensure easy cotiinm" nication with the interior, but it is now evident that to tire absence of any large Knly of fresh water pouring into our bay i< due the great d 'ptli of water, and that the bars whieh are such a drawback to the growth of Charleston and Savau" nali arc caused by the deposit of sedi" uient borwe down by the streams which empty into their harbors. Careful data taken from the latcs* ' charts of the II. S. coast survey showthat Port Uoyal i9 the only harbor south of i Norfolk that will permit the entrance of vessels which are adapted to the commerce of the present day. At Port Hoyal|bar with .Viuean rise and fall of tide : of G 7-10 feet there is a de pth of21 feet ; ? ?l? ?(M'lrloston Imr itr 10\V WHltT, ?II!IU ?iv with a rise ami fall of o J 10 feet there is only a depth of 13 feet at low water, and at Savannah bar, the mean rise and fall 1 of tide being 7 feet the depth is 17 feet ' I at low water, but only 0 feet at the entrance into Savannah river. | The prospectus fu.thcr proves by figures which speak for themselves and maintain their proverbiable ndluerancc to truth, that the geographical position of Port Royal is siteh as to ensure its becoming the great commercial mart for the export of the cotton crop of the South and the grain crops ot the West. It is shown to be superior to the gulf ports by its obviating the necessity of encountering the dangerous navigation of the gulf and of the Florida straits. * j The advantage in climate whic h Port Royal possesses over not thorn ports is ably set forth and is one to which we would especially desire to direct attention. The increased cost of transportation over northern roads during the winter months from the effects of frost and snow render ?1.? /.Ancfvnnlinn of n SoUtllUrU Pacific I X WIIOU UV14VU V* % I Kail lloud an imperative National underto-kiug in- the immediate future, and. the Atlantic terminus of such a road must be at Port Royal. Having adduced cogent reasons for the belief that a great maritime city of j: rapid development will be built somewhere on; the waters of Port Royal, to meet the demands of modem commerce, it is the object of the pamphlet which , we are now discussing, to show that the city of the future will be established o:i ; the south shore of the Colleton River at the place commonly known as Foot Point and extending to lands in its vicinity. A careful and unprejudiced ex.Tin inn- 1 tion into the claims of the advocates of. this proposed site will satisfy any one : that their arguments are sound; and that whatever might have been- the ease tin- i dor certain other contingencies, that ; Colleton Xeck and not Battery Point is i the place for docks and their attendant ! shipping. Colleton River-while being at i no greater distance from the bar than < Battery Creek possesses the advantage ! over the latter of having a greater depth < 1 " ;.l 1,;L? , ot water ami 01 uemg uviw nwu ?>um- . the bluffat the former place extendi i along the shore for a mile ami three J quarters and the bluff on Battery Creek < is less than half a utile long. The available deep water area in Colleton River j is eight times as much as that in Battery j Creek. When a recent search was made by < a United States Naval officer for a suit-; 1 able place-to locate a government dry ; dock, objection was raised against fixing 1 upon a site in Johnson River on ace tint < of the ease with which it could be reach- 1 ed by a hostile S>rcc in time- of war. i The destruction of the bridge at Whale < Branch would sever connection witl^ the main land, while the site on Colleton ; 1 Neck, which is on the main land, needs < only sixteen miles of track to connect it i with the Savannah and Charleston R. R. < In fact a company ha already obtained 1 a charter for the pforpose of building this j road, and under ?he name ot the ''South i Atlantic Rail Road" it is designed to i extend a road from Foot Point and Spring i Island, running through a most produc- i tive section of Beaufort County and i continuing to Milieu and Macon in Cieor- j i gia; i In conclusion we would say that tne#< future success of the project of t he orig- i ioators of the South Carolina Land and i Improvement Company \rill depend in |! great measure upon their adoption of a ( broad mindod, liberal policy or the reverse, i in the disposal of their lauds. The failure i of the at;erapt to build, up-a city at lottery Point will in great part be due to the unfortunate hands into which the enterprise has fallen. .No manner of | inducement has been held out to would be < purchasers, but what huve bceu considered desirable lots have been parsi. moniously held on to, and the fond hopes which were inluigcd in during toe life ot !

Your correspondent "Phil" in last creek's paper made some reckless haphazard statements in reference to town ( affairs which I desire to c ?rrcct. Had ' Phil ' taken the trouble to inquire of the proper town-ofScials or had examined the books of the town which are open at all times to the inspection of our citizens, he never would have made the assertion, < tlut nine or ten thousand dollars have been , collected, and that the town was running , iu debt and the fiscal year was not Jialf < gone. Mow the town was running in j debt, or when the nine or ten thousand ; dollars were collected he fails to inform ] us, and leaves us only to infer through ( his favorite method of guessing. And j yet he would have the public be!ie\c 1 In" rur ? n ir? mimimi n that he made such statements "without any intention to disparaire the present town government or to assume that they have not done all that they might to bring expenditures within receipts or to economise through a period of depression and disaster.'' If this l.e so why did "Phil labor so hard in a column ??f type to onivinge your readers to the contra ry. Instead of nine or ten thousand dollars collected, we find by the last treasurer's report made at the last meeting ot conn, cil which, as 1*1111 says, has not been made in nearly a year and which the ordinance requires shall be made quarterly to council, that $7,dS0 has been collected and that "the current year (I presume he means fiscal) which is i.ot half gone'' expires July 31st. a little oter thirty days hence* I guess that "Phil" has not attended guessing school lately, as f give him credit for being yankec enough to guess nca:er the truth. Maikonefor Phil! He says ''let us > - 4. 1 -- ? maII 1-a?*4 .i4 maa4 n 1' irln/tli glVC CTCUlfc JUT well Kept Slices, nuitu of course is as visible for others as poor '"Phil," but not'satisfied with the visible, he jumps back into the invisible by guessing the costs. Surely he must have been playing ''Hip Van Winkle" or he would have seen that item in the last annual report, and must have followed old "Hip's" advice "I wont count this time." There have been hundreds of new houses built in the last few years, many of them three thousand feet from Wyers Pond, and too tar for all the hose in town to rcaeli from that pot d in case of fire, but then that is no excuse for the e xtravagant and ridiculous expenditure of sixty dollars for the wells outside the cost for lumber, when "a natural pond is available for a supply of water greater than forty wells or cisterns could furnish." Why not according to "Phil's" economy expend $10,000 in water works pipes and machinery to make that pond available for fire purposes and thus save tlio necessity of expending that sixty dollars for wells and reservoirs. Why not? If "Phil" is incarnest and means retrenchment and reform he should be appointed to the editorial staff of some new organ advocating a new system of political economy. As to the Intcndant's court, the docket shows that one hundred and eighty one cases have been disposed of during the present fiscal year, and that the aggregate fines imposed amounted to three hundred and ninety ouc dollars, for which the town received the money or its equivalent in labor on the streets. There have been a large number of cases " "t'lnli noiKiltw tlmn n renri L Li >1 U1V.I1 IM\J I'vuui wj viiiv* % ? ? - ? ? f - mand has been imposed. This ccut t is not of ante bcllum da3*sthe changed condition of things made if a necessity,-and when the amount of fines is deducted from* the salary paid to the last quarter, we find that the additional Expenditure to support the luunicipa1 lourt amounts to but fiftj-uine- dollars, for this additional expenditure the better jrder that now prevails on our streets satisfies our citizens, but let me inform my friend "Phil" that this additional labor has never been performed by fjrm?r lutcudants of the town. As to the Town Marshal his pay is no more thau his predecessors in office and n return he has performed faithful, honist, and efficient service for the town. [ wi>h I could say as much lor the police rnd on this point I am frcc toadmit that 1 riiil" has the besl|ofit. I can't help them )r even apologize for them, as the council lias control owr them, mv conip'aints, midtight walks, and sleepless nightshave add)d nothing to their cffieency or vigilance. '"Voting a large tax to pay himself a argc interest" (viz '1A percent) must be >ne of '"Phil's" playful jokes or else he mtends to wilfully misled as no loau has sver Ifeen made to the town by any of its Wardens, neither has the town paid interest to any of its Wardens during my iduihiistration, to taxes no doubt :hey will.bj rolajcl next year. They are it present lower than any collected by any municipal corporation of any iuipor ance in the State, in return for which the [own has the best equipped fi re department in South Carolina outside the cities af Charleston and Columbia; as well regulated if not better, sanitary condition than any corporation as the results of last summer and fall proved; as clean and orderly streets; as good financial condition as any other town in Carolina, and a smaller amount ot indebtedness to-day than at any time during the last twenty five years of our history as a town. Whatever evils-ia the management of the town may exist., or for the shortcoming of any of its officials, if any there be, I have no defense or apology to make in this communication, bxft if a more general interest wa^ taken by the 1 l!? .1.^, nffuliu a(' (lift filU'l) 1 pUIJJIU III lll?J clliilllil VI MIV* IW"U ? *sw?w knowledge would be the result, and 'Phil' would thus be deprived of the power to create a wrong impression upon the public mind. In conclusion let me suggest not only to Phil, but to cur citizens that they attend the meetings of council occasionally and thus become better informed upon town affairs to fay nothing of the good effect their presence may have in shaping the legislation of the town. I will not use a noni de plain? ai Phil did. but will sign not respectfully, bnt very Respectfully, Alfred Wiiliamb, Intendaut. Before daylight on the morning of the 2oth of May four Russian launches startjl out and proceeded toward two Turkish vessels anchored in the Danube. It ?ecms that, with the exception of one solitary sentry, the Turks were all last asleep. This sentry opened fire with hi.* ifle, but the launches pushed ahead and exploded their pole torpedoes, sinking the pin boat. The Turks earned thoir doom l?y tlic'r eare'essnrss. ! At tli'! recent tire at Union, twenty sev. en boxes of Confederate archives were de-; stroyed.
