From the Southern Si'inda. d. "Who i? JEc?" Mr. Editor: On the 15th of.?u?n, 18-51, might have been seen standing on one of our wharves a. small, delicate, and friendless lookingyoung man, j ' who, as we have learned since. had just arrived in our city. His lonesome and much distressed j 1 appearance attracted our attention; hut being a j stranger to us. we therefore made no inquiries , concerning his distress or destination. Time roll-:1 cd on, and after the lapse of some months we ' again met th:.-* mysterious person. lie looked i1 well atsd buoyant, as though lw was move liajt- j! pv than when we iir.-t saw him ou rbo wharf.? 11 We then came to the conclusion that we would j ' make some inquiries re-jH'cting the individual ,' who had >o mysteriously attracted our attention. ! But our inquiries wore im-tfectual, for everybody was in the dark, and, besides, no one seemed to , care about him. We then gave up the matter; j' but very recently we met this same mysterious | person again. Now, reader, where did we meet ! him? That's the question. Was it at a grogshop, an eating saloon, a bowling a!l< v, theth?-a- ; tre, the circus, the races, the concerts, the oxhi bitioii of the Nova Scotia Miant Boy, or any oth-, er place of amusement whore aiv generally found young nn n of liis age? No. It was somewhere | else; and meeting him at this unlooked-i'or place. j we were induced to renew our inquiries of " Who j' t J?1 u. ttri i I _,)? i 11-1 j*. >'? r.v /AC*.- " run /v nvz JUKI *> it err jtvut,. I Aftc-r repeated inquiries, we had the good fortune i to meet with :i highly respectable gentleman of;' our city, whose name it is not necessary to give, J1 who readily gave us the information we Joshed. | This gentleman informed us that the young j man alluded to, was from Ualeigh, N. C. or its j' vicinity, that lie had just came to our city on the j ' evening we first saw him standing on the wharf. ' that our eyes then beheld a young man who |! was entirely destitute, penniless, not a cent of j money to his name; In- knew n..hody, and nobo- ' dy knew hint. Under such circumstances it * could hardly l?e expected otherwise, hut that he should seem to he. what he \va<. a distressed, pale, ' care-worn, friendless youth: lie looked as though ; lie was convinced, "that the foxes had holes, and | " the birds had nests, but that lie not wltere to ;' lay his head!" \Y'here he slept that night, we J are not exactly proporcd to say: but at tie- same i' time, we are.satisfied that it was a place where j! tho niusquitoes. (which had just successfully , made their adwnt into <>ur city by millions.) had full access to their unhappy prey! Uur in-j fortnant further .-aid. that this young mau on the next day, happily procured a situation in our ]1 city, where he has ever sinee been steady at work. 1 as you may say, both day and night every night 1 until midnight, and many until one, two or three (( o'clock in the morning: Hut. reader, we have not yet told you where | we met him the //oVif tim *. This third time of J \ our meeting was at the door of one of oar Rank.-; ; . In iiaU ins little earnings. l or i>e it Durne in mind that hisoeeupation. though arduous. i> one , J that commands no biy salary. On turtle r in-i (juirv, we have y<x>d authority for saying, licit j1 this young man lias in the Dank at his command . iVoin * >o6 to 4=40(1. And this, .Mr. Kditor, is tie* ]> or young man 1 who, hut a short time ago. stood on our wharf with not a penny in the woiid. .Vow. if Itcontinues to save, from his w kly ?arninys. liv?* ( or six hutidivd dollars per year. 1; -v. long will it take oiircitiz--ns to rind out "Who i? li".'-' Twcri- , ty yeais is not i ti;_'. and w uid s:i:!ie< to * plac him l>- ' i.

Miv Rlictf gave notice on Thursday that he would yesterday take an occasion, with the leave of the- .Senate, to reply to some reflections on his course, which he had found in the speeches ? made during his absence by Mr. Cleminens and Mr. Cass, on the compromise resolution. The galleries were of conrse thronged in anticipation of a scene. Mr. Rhett occupied about two hours in vindicating his own position and ?ourse, repelling certain charts which were, he aid, made against him in the speech of Mr, Clemens, and bringing facts to discredit, as he said, the credibility of the author of those charges, and accusing him of political tergiversation. Mr. Clemens spoke briefly in reply, but with the most unrestrained personality. lie was once ; called to order by several Senators, but he said j he would keep in order, and he was .-idler, d to J proceed. He used such epithets, as you will see,! in marked application to his antagonist, as arc ' usual in Senatorial discussion, or even altercation, 1 lie had concluded tic personal portion of his reply, when lie yielded the floor to Cov. Jones, who on account of t lie lateness of the hour, j moved an adjournment. To-day, Mr. Clemens will continue his dis- j course. The IIousc, after having matured the land bounty warrant bill, after long discussion and deliberation, have, becoming discontented with the result, laid it on the table The Unit* d States mail steamer Ha I th\ of the ' Collin's lino, arrived yesterday, and saluted the ( :itv from her anchorage ground about seven j miles below. It is thought that she cannot j :-<4iic safely further up, because she is too long, j :300 feet) to turn in the channel. The channel , s deep enough and it i^ proposed to back her ! up or down. More than a hundred visitors came ' irouud in her as invited guests, who were most 1 :i? -rally entertained by .Mr. Collins on the pas age. Among these passengers are many per oii> distinguished by position in the society ot' New York. The greater portion of the passengers attended the I'r>iJenl's drawing room last , night, and were very cordially received.

Clear days, - - 2 Fair " 15 Cloudy " 12 Editorials. If our readers want editorials, we reckon the only way they can get them this evening, will be to do as ' some of our friends, who sometimes toll good jokes at at her peoples expense?draw liberally upon their im- \ agination. TSy this process there is no telling what ; niighj not be accomplished. The Homestead Law. We desire to call attention to this law lately enacted by our Legislature, not for the purpose of discussing its ' merits and propriety, but in order to remind our readers that the commencement of its operation dates from the 1st inst.; and that hereafter, all notes, bonds, ~\r ntli.ip n1i1i(p<itSiin<: fur j nrif.r tn (1n? 1st March inst.. should be taken in such u form as to show that reference is had to them as debts, before the Exemption was a law. A little care and particularity in this respect, may avoid a vast deal of trouble hereifter. ( We have on a former occasion given our views somewhat at length upon this new legal feature; believing is we do, that the law is a just, humane and proper sue?intended tor the common good, and illustrating the old democratic doctrine of "the jruit'.-'t good to the , jj-eat' -t number." If a man is disposed to act wrong , ind defraud his creditors, there is no way to prevent 1 it. Make all the laws which human ingenuity could I'untrivo, and you cannot prevent a dishonest man from being so. For our part, we arc satisfied with the Homestead law, believing it consistent with rigid md reason. Others who think differently, are as ntich entitled to their opinion as we are, but, unli' 1 letter reasoning is given us, why it should not be a law, we must he counted in as one of its advocates. < General Matters. If our readers can find anything of interest in the tapers, either to talk or write about, they are ahead of is. The present time presents an unusual dearth in the ( icws, as well as the money market. The intelligence which we are in receipt of from the ' 1! 1 World, developes no feature particularly new or nteresting; merely a recapitulation of what we have drcadv heard. Lot'is Napoleon maintains his present rjcv.u:on wiiji rcin.'irKJiDi? pen m.icily; aim uuiras ue s assassinat-d, wo snp|?oso his "reign of terror" will oiitinii" f>r some time yet to His condition is i very precarious one. and lie is liable at any tnoinont ( o bo hurled from his groat elevation, to tiie lowest lepths. The cord by which his power is suspended, is mcertain. The "peeps" (as Ihe Frenchman says) can't >c trusted. In our own country there seems to be a dead pause, m l oaeli antagonistic element seems afraid of the otli r. The watch and wait policy is being carried out, | md the political lions of the day arc lying in ambush. ? n order to watch the movements of each other. The vire-pullers are busily engaged adjusting the strings, md making .all necessary preparations lbr the l'resilential game, soon to be commenced. The aspirants ire themselves hard at work?making hay while the am shines: and. according to our notion, Mr. Fillmokk tas about as good a chance for the nomination as any < >f them. Congress is in a stale of glorious inactivity; anoc asional i]tj irrrl in the Senate, ami personal war of : ' vords make up its proceedings?disgraceful to the j iati??? ami unworthy the name of men. In regard to I he? recent controversy between Senators Uhktt ami "i.kmi.ns, we must say. that Mr. Ci.k.mk.vs hud no right ! o make the attack which lie did upon Mr. Kiiktt, and ' ( hat of all men to talk of inconsistencies, he is the last j vho should refer to the subject. The Kossuth fever seems to be cooling oil', and we | ire occasionally reminded of his excellency, l>y now iml then, a beaver ahi Kos-nhndt, of the latest tip. These iats arc said to be made of Jilt, and are much more omfortable than the ordinay silk or prepared beaver, i I'anv of our friends desire to see us under* ueh eireumitanees. by furnishing one of these hats, we shall then jo bet tor able to speak of their superiority, after having j 1 relt one on our head. ? The idea is only tlirown out as a jeri>:r, to no acicu 011 r let alone as suits the parlies best. , Extraordinary Despatch. The 1'. S.

Gen. Scott, I uu- ' crstand, lias no objection to giving his views 11 the slavery question but his Northern friends ill not permit him. They desire him to be unammeled, as then should he be elected, they mid use him either on the Northern or the outhern slope of politics. Gen Scott if ho runs, ill run uncommitted either way, just as Gen aylor did. It is Gov. Seward I believe, who has iscovered that principles are the most embarrasng things in politics. At New Orleans a man who had but recently ^ jmmonced business found his creditors rather )o prompt in urging the payment of their little ills. "What is the matter," he at length asked. Do you fear me?" "Yes," was the hesitating ply of a modest dun. "Fear me!" he exclaiicd, "on what grounds? Has any one said I am ot honest?" "No, no," replied the other; "but" -"13ut what sir?,' "Why, to be candid with you, e have no confidence in your business capacity, icing you do not advertise!" The man iinmedi tely made annual contracts with three papers, nd is now in excellent credit, and prospering aely. The Londou Post says of Kossuth's visit to the uited States? "With the most wonderful talent for sclf-oxhi- V it ion, we find him reduced by American ingen- 1 itv to ministering merely to the magnifying of J hers.' With the most singular tact, and the lost unfailing How of oratory, he is yet no match r American nuuucuy auu prcservaucc. xxis lost fervent appeals and glowing periods have 0 chance against the enthusiasm of American unity. Truly, that must be a great nation in hose school for Democrats Louis Kossuth must ? content to learn rather than lecture." IIouki3i.eMi"ri>er,?Theodore Nye, of Cinnnati, en route for San Francisco, was murder1 at the Eutaw House, Mobile, on Thursday orriing last, by his travelling companion N. 1'. oleman. Nye had deposited $200 in gold ith the clerk of the Hotel for safe keeping, fter the murder Coleman pretending that Nye. id gone down to the boat, asked for the money it was refused, the clerk stating that he could iv the deposite only to the person who had ado it. and that his friend must come for it msolf. ' >n this Coloman left the house saying at he would send Mr. Nye for the money, and jthing further was thought of the matter 'till 1 o'clock, when one of the servants of the ' ouse reported that there was a person dead in io of the rooms. On repairing to it the dead >dy of Nye was found in the IxhI in the room ml he and Coleman had taken. His skull id been broken with a hammer which was lv- ^ <y near the hodv covered with blood, and two ipkins wore tied closely around the throat and outli of the deceased. At the last accounts the murderer had not en apprehended. The officers, however, were pursuit of him.
