The New Orleans Courier does up the Virginia election in the sportsman "style. "Hie toilowmg is the conclusion of its report of the great Virginia race, as follows: The Virginians entered their favorite old horse, Democrat, who, though occasionally beaten out of the State, had never lost a heat on his native soil, and, though looking thin with hard work, came to the poll in a ea&j way, -while Sam Know Nothing evinced all the dancing, prancing, and impatience that characterizes the scrub. At the start the colt rushed ahead, and his friends shouted and made the welkin ring, 1 and betted and bragged so high that the friends of poor old Democrat were afraid to risk their mone)'; but Sam's friends were doomed to a bitter disappointment. Long Deiore me race was over, it was evident that this promising colt was ruined forever. It was with great difficulty that he was taken , off the track and led to his stall, where at the last "accounts ho was dying, and he is now most probably dead. Old Democrat, on the contrary, came out of this race looking as fine as silk, and pricking up his ears, and looking Wise, as much as to say, "This old horse never did, or will loose a race in Old Virginia." It is not known what the enemies of old Democrat will do at the ensuing race, having disposed of their entire stock for the purpose of purchasing this very promising young Sam Know Nothing colt. There is said to be, north of Mason and Dixon's lino, a very strong and flourishing animal called Anti-Nebraska Bill, a half brother of Sam's, who has a host of friends at the North, and if a few can be found at the South, he may be possibly entered to prevent Old Democrat from walking oyer the,, course. / result: Democrat, by old Virginia,.out of Pivil aud Religious Liberty - - 1st. .Sam Know Nothing, by Prejudice, out of Fanaticism, g. d. -Persecution - dist. British Politics. One of the inost striking features of the news by Jthe last steamer, is the motion and speech of the Earl of Ellenborough, which occupies a large Bpace among our extracts. , ' - The Btriking point in this speech is that which representarfhe House of Lords as, in it& nature, an Order of Merit, rather than a Caste by the Grace of God. The finest Eart of nis speech is indeed that in which e reminds the nobles of England of the 1 origin of many of their most 'distinguished names, and presses upon them that very consideration as the most weighty reason why they should open every pathway to *v~ J mw>wiiuwvi4 iv luo luubt unserving. x no speech, baa somewhat of a Democratic look, ?-but it really has the old feudal spirit in it, ?smacking of the times when the Nobles were powerful, because they were the real V, Jeadera of the people, and by their mastery '* ' > -,r \of all the arts of war and statesmanship, to hold the supremacy which the V;^Ju&(Werr?d upon them.

The last number of tho Carolina Spartan has the adieu of Mr. Bomau, former associate editor, and the salutatory of Mr. Cavis, who is henceforth to occupy that position. The Spartan has been conducted with more than ordinary ability since Trimmer <fc Bom a u's connec. >n with it, and we doubt not willfully maintain its character under the management of Trimmieii it Cavis. Mnj. E. J. IIenrv, of the Spartanburg Express, has relinquished his editorial labora for a while on account of ill health. We hope he may soon bo restored to good health and to the nrofession.

Ik the present number we have inserted the letter of Rev. Dr. Breckenridge, a distinguished Presbyterian divine, in defence of the Know Nothing movemcut.? We have done this because we consider it due to the people, on nil occasions, when questions of public moment are mooted, that tllPV ftlinilli? lint'n j wvm oiu\;o |;icociiiv:u lu their consideration. This letter of the learned Doctor lias been pronounced an able defencc of the movement. Tlint it is an eloquent and zealous kind of apology, we readily concede; but that it approximamates a convincing argument of the necessity of such a movement, and of the wisdom of its designs, we arc by no means so ready to admit. It arrives at conclusions from premises which we hold never existed. But wc shall not attempt a review. AVe have given Stephens' masterly exposition, and are not afraid to place alongside of that all the apologies that could be made by Know Nothing doctors. Considerable interest seems to have been awakened in every section of the Union in regard to the late election excitement in Kansas. Meetings here and there, North and South, are being licld, and resolutions maintaining tlie right of Territories to regulate the question of slavery for themselves on the one band, and swearing eternal opposition to the further extension of slavery on the other, are passed. It has always been our belief that Kansas would be a slave State, because the great law of nature?^the law of Boil and climate?seemed to have decreed gQ? and it* . d^rees the "higher law" of Northern fanatics niay vainly protest. The South has uothing to fear, if she but act prudently and firmly.? Let lief patiently abide the coming of Kansas with her slavery Constitution, and if the North rejects her admission, then let us leave the Union, or rather let us drive those out of it who are unworthy the name of Amertpjina. If ?? Joei. ?1 ? wmvu iocu\i ai vuoto UUl the flauie of resistance in the South, it is vain to talk and bluster more. We do not desire to witness a disruption of the Federal Union; we had rather, much rather, see the Constitution preserved and the Union perpetuated. And we still hope they may be. We still hope the North has reason and conservatism enough left to strengthen the hands of the South in preserving the great Charter of our rights and liberties.? Let the South, then, resolve itself into one great party?not a sectional but a Constitutional party?and in ?he spirit of the Geor gia .Democracy, count worthy of fellowship all who range under its standard, whether slaveholders or not, Southern men or not. If the Constitution is saved, the Union is saved; if the Constitution perishes," let the murderers of it be driven from the temple, though blood should write the history of their expulsion. These are the doctrines to which we subscribe, and in which we patiently await the issue soon to be presented in the question of Kausas' admission as a slave State. We look for some amusement in the "pitched battle" which is Boon to commence between the Hon. Pierre Soulb, late Cubaseizing Minister to the Spanish Court, and Horatio J. Perry, the Secretary of Lega tion at the same Court. The latter has written a letter to the President, in which it is said he exposes the wilful mismanagement of Soulk, and charges him with having thereby rendered the peaceful acquisition of Cuba by the United States utterly hopeless. The latter, in a brief response, charges Perry nith cowardice and treachery, and promises a full history of bis own whole diplomatic career. The President and his Cabinet, as well as the Secretary of Legation, will doubtless come iii for "honorable mention."?The Spanish difficulties appear all to be in a way of peaceful adjustment since Soule'b resignation, and we have no doubt they will be amicably and honorably settled. Dodos, the new Minister, is a fit representative of this Government, and cannot fail to command the respect of the Spanish Court, a thing which goes far in th4 development of successful jiplomaoy. ? / .

In your notice of our Institution, last | week, Mr. Editor, you called it "that old ; nursery of Methodism." Will you nllow mo to say, our institution is purely literary. It is a denominational school only so far as it is under the care of the South .Carolina Conference. Literature, science, and the pure principles of christian morality are taught, but no denominational tenets. By its being a "nursery of Methodism," then, we should only understand it to be a nursery of scicnce under the care of the Methodist Church. G. II. ROUND, Rector. C'okcsbury, June 4, 1855. WRITTEN FOR TIIK INDEPENDENT TRESS. Prom Columbia. Columbia, S. C., June 4, 1855. Messrs. Editors'. I am not aware that you have a regular correspondent in the "City of Oaks," and whether you have or not, if I can bo of any service to you by furnishing an occasional article for the Press, I will endeavor to do so. So many bright luminaries have risen and shone with so much brilliancy around us, within the last few years, that a star of smaller magnitude will scarcely attract attention. An article written on the classic soil of Columbia, to be readable, should by all means have a little Latin sprinkled through it, with how and then some poetry to match, which soft-headed people would most likely consider quite "sentimental." But as I presume your readers are generally blessed with common sense, I shall serve out what I have to say in the old-fashioned style. To begin at the beginning, I will say that my head-quarters is at the Congaree House, now kept by W. Hitchcock <fc Co., where -I TO!\y at nil times bo-found when not absent, on "professional business." This house has changed hands several limes within the last few years, and consequently has had its "ups and downs." Under its present management, I hesitate not to say, there is not a better kept house in the citv. nor norhans ' i r in the State. Bo it remembered, at the same time, that I am not a "dead head," nor an "invited guestbut make this statement voluntarily, without any fee or reward. The entire house is now undergoing a thorough renovation, externally as well as internally, from cellar to garret. Improvement seems to be the order of the day with the entire establishment; and one of the wisest is the conversion of the "hole in the wall" into a reading room, where food is now furnished for those who seek intelligence, instead of stimulants for vitiated appetites. That portion of the city which was consumed by firo last December is fast being built up in a substantial manner?brick walls, and I presume iron fronts, as tbat has got to be the 6tyle of fronts now. The work on the new State House seems to progress slowly, but I think surely, this time. The foundation is being laid in a firm and solid manner, with dressed rock and cement. The consulting architect is now here, giving his attention to the work. The joint passenger depot, put up by the South Carolina and Greenville & Columbia Railroad Companies, is nearly .completed, ??,i 1- XL mm mil auu iiiuuu lu uio convenience Ol j the travelling public. I hnve not been able to learn tbat the two Railroad Companies have come to any terras in regard to the cotton that was burned some time past; it will very likely end in a law-suit, which will give the lawyers a chance to make something out of it. As I occasionally pass through the coun iij Mu uusiuces, x urn onauiea 10 notice things out of tbe city as well as in it, and for the last two weeks, since the rains set in, I never have before seen such a wonderful chango for the better in the appearance of things throughout the country. The growing crops, though a little backward, were never more promising than they are at present Wheat, though not large, fe full and plump, and not a particle of rust and my present impression is that breadstuffs must come dowfj in prioe. As I am not direotly interested in the cotton market, I shall leave that subject for the present in the hands pf others, presuming that yoti are kept "posted up" from head-quarters. It has beon a good while sinoo I wrote an article tor a newspaper tad noij, ia I 1 partly know *dw to stop; buta?it?dot wy'ii^ntWn tojttU ^ Ikfo* ifets time,;* ; tfill olose my present i ?& > '.* ,* ^ . * -?<)>. ? v .

By thus pursuing a high-minded and honorable course, I predict that the day is not far distant when you will have an enlarged field to operate in, from which I trust you will be enabled to reap a golden harvest.

It recommends all the citizens w hoc jMcvautiuuuijr iiR'^urun UgHUlSl HLtncks of the disease. We learn from tho Bulletin that tliere have been three or four fatal cases of cholera in Fort Adams, Miss. On the plantation of Dr. Sullivan, about three miles above Alexandria, on Red river, thirteen deaths have occurred from the same disease, and many more arc down with it. On the adjoining plantations several cases have likewise occurred. Some fatal cases had also taken place in Alexandria, which has caused some alarm, and the Court in consequence adjourned on Tuesday week. . The cause of the breaking out of tho disease, says the Republican of tho 20th, is well known to be the absence of good water. Tho cisterns arc all dry, anil of course llie mass of the people have to drink river water, that naturally, at the present low stage, must he impure and unwholesome. South Carolina Historical Society. ?An effort is about being made to organize a Society, whose object will be to gather, preserve and elucidate the cxistiug memorials of the history of this State. Notice is given in this morning's Mercury of a meeting at the Charleston Libraiy, on Saturday, of all who take an iuterest in these worthy objects. It is expected that form will be given to tho Society on that occasion. There is perhaps as rich and abundant material for historical study in the unpublished manuscripts in possession of the old families of South Carolina, as can be found in any of tho old Thirteen Colonies, not even excepting Virginia ; and if the Society can be constituted on such a basis as to bring these riches into light and use, it will do an incalculable service to the State. !>..? e? ?!.: ' - - jjul iui in is purpose 11 must lmj lounited on n generous scheme, and must embrace all who are capable of contributing to its objects. That it will be so constituted,j and thus give itself an omen of success in its outset, we will not permit ourselves to doubt. Charleston Mercury. Horatio J. Peiiry, Esq., the U. S. Secretary of Legation to Spain, has addressed a long letter to the President, in reply to the charge of Mr. Soule that he (Mr. Perry) had been acting the part of a spy towards him (Mr. Soule) at the Court of Spain, and making certain reports to Seeretay Marcy. IIo indignantly repels the accusation, and charges Mr. Soule with having undertaken iinu luuoweu up, sis tar as he was able, a system of menace and pressure upon tlie Spanish Government, whose object was either to drive Spain into a war with us or to a forced sale of the It-land of Cuba. Mr. Soule, he says, impressed bis government with the idea that the sale of Cuba by Spain was probable, whereas his very first appearance in the Chamber of the Spanish Cortes was the signal for that body to rise spontaneously, and vote unanimously in exact reverse of his 'apparent expectations, there not being a single vote to give the slightest color to bis representations. The result of Mr. Soule's mission and bad management, says Mr. P., has made the peaceful acquisition of Cuba hopeless.? Charleston Courier. _ _ ? The Direct Line to Dorn's.?We are gratified to learn from Chief Engineer Arms that an air line, entirely practicable, has been run from Dorn's Mine to Edgefield C. 1 IT. or its vicinity. The distance is 22 miles. ' The distance from Aiken to Dorn's by this < route is 41 miles,, being but 7 per cent above an air line. And the whole distance i from Aiken to Anderson C. II. is 98 miles, i Wo imagine it will be found difficult to obtain another line between these two last i named points, equally practicable, whose < length will fall below a hundred miles. It would seem from this result, that tfie last line surveyed by the Engineers of the Val- f ley Road is the true line for this company.
