I; We find no fault of the past?of the future we i speak. Against the principle and abuse of the t appointing power we make our remarks. The f name of David Johnson, as Judge, or Chief Ma- I; gistrate will be loved and cherished in South ' - Carolina, so long as exalted talents and the most 1 sublime virtues are honored and clicri died by a c i - * grateful constituency. Of Judge 11 titier, tlio ardefit and noble-hearted Carolinian, we nevd but s to remark, that his presence will be felt wherever ' * v! ,i? | ? his Country may place nun; mm ms puiuy, uu- j quence and patriotic zeal, would adorn any as-1 a scmbly in the world. In conferring this distiuc- t '. i ^ tion on one the honorable gentlemen of the er- s mine, as they successively arrive at the age, when t they know the people expect them to resign? a may with some appearance of justice claim an a equal testimony of confidence and respect as had d been shown to their brothers who had preceded a them. We arc among those, who entertain the highest respect for the venerable, learned and d patriotic gentlemen, who now, and have hereto- c fore filled, with so much honor to themselves and f? advantage to the State, the highly responsible ^ and arduous labors of the Bench. As long how- !( ever, as wc are represented at Washington, it o ought to be by men of active and vigorous body c as well as mind?men able to work, able to con- i' tend and able to stand fatigue ; for a faithful h Senator or Governor will always find enough to ft do. South Carolina is rich in good and etlicient b men, who have served the State as ably and ;ls 1< faithfully as the judges, but with much less remunerative results to themselves. We can sje c no reason, why the Legislature should fill the a two highest offices in the State, with men who, however able and devoted they may have been c as.judges, have become too old to be efficient and b active in a profession which they had made the b study of their lives?we say there is no reason, it justice or propriety iii the appointment of these ti orro/l rrontlnnion to such offices as SeilutuI' Olid ^ 6VM..W^v? Governor. Sitting in the Halls of Justice, with almost discretionary powers to regulate and control the business and debates before them, they are unused to being confronted by equals?their 1' arguments contradicted, their opinions treated t? with contempt and derision, and all theirsolomn a and imposing "Kules of Court," utterly disregarded and thrown to the winds. Besides, if S( " their public duties have been iong and arduous, n their pay lias been liberal and their honors abun- h dant, having always received in this State the 11 deference and respect usually paid to the highest fc public functionaries?and can therefore have 110 ?l claims superior to any other citizen of equal in- Sl tegrity and ability. Nay, we go farther, and say, they have no claims for tiiis distinction at ;l< all. Judges answer a good purpose in their place, d and may make good representatives; we don't 0 know: but they are the last men in the world, 011 whom we would depend for counsel, if we l' were determined to defend our rights, by resis- I s.i ting any kind of a law, however tyrannical or oppressive that law uiay be. It is said by some, that the practice is a good one ; because it operates as an honorable discharge from the public NV service; and that-their honors are thus permit- h. ted, in their old age, to pass honorably to private al life. But, this is all mere talk* For, as to the 01 honor of the thing, every body knows, that 110 k profession or body of men, have ever received so many marks of honor as they; for," the word ; n' has been incorporated with, and made a part of j ai their names?and is used m almost every sen-; u tence addressed to them?sometimes even to j ^ nausea. 13e this as it may ; we contend that, to *' be a Senator or a Governor, it is necessary to be ll , a Statesman. The judges having made the law <" their study,it cannot be expected that they 1,1 should be as well qualified for Executive or he t! gislative duties as others, of equal ability and patriotism, who have devoted the greater part of their lives to the principles and detail of States- 'J manshjp. No, one; it is quite plain, that whenever the Legislature makes a Senator o?* a (Jover- t' nor of one of these worthy old gentlemen, it is tl only intended its a polite invitation to vacate 11 their seat on the Bench, to make room for a s' younger man?knowing that this is the only t' way possible of getting rid of them, for they '' never resign without being well paid for it?a L judge is seldom known to die. On the whole c: then, we think the Legislature pays very poor j sl compliment to an aged public servant, when j w they take him from one office, because lie is una-, l'1 ble to discharge its duties, and thrust him into | another, full of trouble, perplexity and t urmoil? a poor compliment indeed, and not very flattering 1,1 to the venerable and worthy gentleman thus :l! treated. The people should hold the Legislature v< responsible for their action in such matters. t! Carolina S/tarlan. v: ? ? st An Incident of tlie Late Freshet. " Among the many "hair breadth 'scapes," from a] the dangers of the late disastrous flood, we have n heard of none more thrilling than the following, which occurred on the Saluda, near Anderson's a] and Neely's bridge: *s On the Abbeville side of the river, on a slight a| eminence, was erected a small two story house for the accommodation of the toll keeper. In times of very high freshets, this point was .sometimes cut oli' from the main land by a sluice w running round it, but it was so elevated that no |] danger was ever apprehended from its entire in- hi undation. At the time we refer to it was occu- f, pied, with feelings of perfect security, by a Mr. t: Busby, an honest and upright man; his wife, four children and two negro men, who had ta- b ken shelter from the storm. n ItVas soon ascertained, however, that no or- al ordinary tlood was coining down the river, and g in endeavoring to make their escape the sluice j ol was found to be so deep and rapid that they ! 11 were unable to cross it. Alarmed, but still en- j is tertaining a hope that the water would not reach the house, they repaired to it for shelter and protection. 0j But on dashed the wild and turbulent element, in overleaping with fearful rapidity the highest I' * ioint that it was ever before known to attain' nd yet no indications of abatement. At length lie eminence was reached, then the uuweieome itruder took possession of the first story, com.oiling the family to repair to the second; then iie second story was submerged, and about 9 'clock at night, in the inidst of dismal darkness, litli the wild waters raging around them, and 11 hope of succor gone, its powerless inmates .ere almost frantic with terror and dismay on cling the house gently move with the current, n the meantime, however, one of the negroes tad succeeded in bursting through the roof, and n taking a position npou its top and to this forunate circumstance the ultimate safety of the u?i!y is doubtless attributable, lie had scarce y gamed the root be to re liie house commenccu iwvingolf toward the main current of the stream. Jut seizing the branch of a live, lie gave it the >pposite direction, and it was left to its fate. As the morning dawned, some faint hope of ueeor began to glimmer in the breasts of the error stricken family. The cries of the nogroi s rli'.i bad fv?nnd a place of comparative safety muiig the branches of a tree, attracted the attention of a number of persons on the Laurens id of the river, whose curiosity early led them .) see the ravages of the flood. Fortunately, inong the number was Mr. James McKinnev, n active and industrious mechanic, wlio iinmeiately commenced the construction of a boat, nd in an incredibly short time launched it for ts perilous adventure. For some time no one nred to brave the re istle?.s element; but the laims of humanity soon impelled a Mr. Taylor, jrmcrly of North Carolina, and a negro of Mr. Kcly, to attempt the rescue, and amid breathmid 111 r* ininiMU.lif I'LL* i if* tll/iir wn live*, ihey struck boldly across the raging urrent for the terrified negro, and landed him l safety upon the shore. Ascertaining from im the position of the house, they next rowed >r it, which they found some five hundred yards elow the point that it originally occupied, and xlgcd against a clump of trees. The daring boatmen soon landed its affrighted row in safety, amid the hearty cheers of the nxious spectators upon the shore. The whole time between the fir.-t stroke in onstruction of the boat and the rescue occupied ut an hour and forty-five minutes?an nd\entire as remarkable for celerity and dispatch, as , was for success, and certainly entitling itsparcipators to 110 little share oi public admiration, s well as the lasting gratitude of the rescued imily.?Laurcnsvillv II-tall. The Yellow Fever.?After the terrible reoils which we heard in the country, of yellow >ver in Charlo ton, wc were prepared, on our nival here, to find at least one or two of our cquauuauces s:ck, or n 1101 mem, some or uieir jrvants. We :ilso siij?i*oso?.1 that some of our 10 roll a u t-s, partial strangers to 1 lie climate, who ad pone Aoriii or elsewhere for the summer lonths might prudently delay tleir return for a w weeks. Kilt though we exported something f this sort, wo cannot say that we were surpri d on our arrivai .it finding the business of the ty progressing a< mint!. Hvcry where we meet :<|ii;un!:i!K\ s who iiave beea absent, l>ut who | id not li'sitat.' to return. We heard of one I lily who is sreic, ami calling to inquire of liis >iiditii>u, we were told that he had a pain in le head and hack, with some slight bilious fiiiploais, but whether it was fever of not, the oetor had not yet decided. A physician in cmd practiee, of whom we inquired as to what e knew of the fever, replied, that h- had last eck several e.s. s of what t\oj collnl yellow ver. but. that he round them very manageable, ad all had recovered. We have heard from liter physicians who have been called in losiinix eases, but we hear of no deaths, except tho.se .'ported from the hospital. These we know jtliing of personally, but it is certain that they e of that cla.-s, which has just gone through i? worst kind of the excitement of an election, that thev have lately suffered would give them ver in the sand hill- or in the mountains, and loir <\'i-vs, ciiisidoring the I :t" oxcitiug election, re no index what vlt to the- health of theeoiniunity. Let any one, who doubts this, examine le tiles of the Charleston papers. Nearly all le invitations to funerals arc published there, id yet they are not niore numerous now than j tiring the winter and spring. In fact wo have I ten seen tiicm mora numerous in the winter tan they are now. Wo do not therefore believe . tat yellow fev -r, or any other fever, prevails ex- j n-ive!y in t!ie city. Strangers coining here, j lould b pru i tit. as wo are when we go into I to country. If wo travel in the country during ! :o summer, w ln tle-r it be in the bills and tnouti-1 litis of South Carolina or Georgia, wo do n<?t ipose ourselves u:i:rces<:inly to t he heat of the in or to the night air. No one should do so ho changes a seaboard for an inland attnos" he iv, and vice versa. With this ordinary pru ticc, strangers are safer in Charleston than in j to country. There, from the mountains to the [ liddle districts. we found on every side disease i id death from typhoid fever. Wo knew of se-j n cases in one house, and in another there were [ tree deaths in one day. This fever now prelils in a!! the mountain region, and is more ubhorn and fatal than anv fever we have ever itnessed in Charleston. Nor is it tor this sea>11 only that Charleston is more healthy than ay portion of the country. We have spoilt i lany of the years of our boyhood and youth 1 the most healthy portions of South Carolina ad Georgia, and our candid opinion is, that there in Charleston less fatality from fever than in lv other place where we have lived.

As we do not desire to be invidious in our remarks by discriminating, we beg also to refer to Messrs. G. W. AVienges .t Co., Book Merchants, to Messrs.

Love effected his escape from his captors while on his way to this State. The particulars as we learn them from Mr. Lowry, who is now here, areas follows: lie was in charge of Mr. Lowry and an assistant, who had proceeded as far as Columbus, Miss., where they had stopped for the night. They were hero met by two men, known to Lowry, who persuaded him to discharge his assistant, who, they said, could not be depended upon, and who, they believed, would release Love on tho first opportun-'ty. lie finally consented, and in a short time took Love up into a room of the Hotel, and locked a chain which was around his leg, around tho railing of the bedstead, his hands being tightly handcuffed, Lowry taking a scat by him, armed with a double-barrelled eun. After a short time, one of the men proposed to Lowry to step over to a neighboring grocery to take adiiuk, which he at first declined. but alter much persuasion, he consented, the other man agreeing to guard Lovo while he was absent. On his return in a short time, the prisoner was missing. The guard stated that he had left the room a moment to get a drink of water, and wlnlc he was out, Love loosed the tenon of the bed-post, slipped the chain off, and was pan of the way down the stairs on his return to the room, ami that lie endeavored to fire on him but both caps exploded, and Love gaining the street, he was prevented by the darkness from seeing the direction lie had taken, and thus effected his escape. Mr. Lowry supposes that their object in taking Love out ofhis possession, was to bring him on to this State for the purpose of securing the reward olfercd for his apprehension. Since the above was put in type, we have seen a letter from Co'.foeviHe, Miss., dated the 7th instant, which states that Love had been re-taken and lodged in the Jail of Yeilobusha County. LTore Candidates. The Southern Rights Convention recently assembled at Montgomery, Ala, have nominated the Hon. Geurck M. Troit, of Georgia, and Gen. Jonx A.

In the genuine note the vignette is a ship. In this counterfeit the vignette is a female figure in a sitting posture, with a sheaf of wheat immediately on her right, and on the left end of the note a full-length figure of (Jen. Washington', which is not on the true one. Tiii: Cotton Chop.?We were yesterday, says the X 0. l'kaymc of Friday, shown letters from several of the heaviest cotton planters in thotitate, whose plantations lie upon the coast from Pointc Coupee to Millikcn's Rend, which state that owing to the ravages of the boll worm. lot. heavy rains, kc., they would lose from one-third to one-halt'their crops. Accompanying the letter from Millikcn's Bend was a specimen of bolls, destroyed by the rot, and certainly more effectual destruction we never saw. The greater portion of them were completely eaten away, and if this is, as the letter states, a fair specimen of the crop in that section, the prospect is gloomy indeed. pruity ok Elections.?Ileury If. Belt, the defeated candidate for ShcritVin St. Louis county, Mo., lias given notice that lie will contest the election of John M. Wiiiie;, on the ground that four hundred and fourteen persons, whoso names lie gives, voted, who were not citizens of the United States; that one hundred and sixty-lour voted twice; thirty voted three times; nine voted four times, and eight voted live times, and gives the name of c: li 'ndividual.

TSic Slute military Academy. , Mb. Editor : The late difficulties in this I Academy render it necessary that some step should be taken at the next session of our Lc- i gislature, to change the present system of government ; as it is quite evident to every reflect- I ing inmd, that, unless something be done and i that promptly, our hopes of building up an In- i stitution, which shall be a nursery for the doc- < trine of State Eights, (the pride of every South- 1 ern Eights man,) will be forever blasted. I There is one point to which we would respect- 1 fully call the attention of Legislators, especially ; those from the up-country, as it is supposed by < many that they are prejudiced very strongly in < favor of the. present plan of government. This < point is the location of the Chairman of the Board of Visitors?the present system is to have I this officer located at least one hundred miles 1 from the Institution ; the other members of the 1 Board arc also situated at some distance in the < up-country. Now, it is utterly impossible for 1 any Board of Visitors so situated to manage the 1 aft:lirs of any Institution, as was proved by the i case that occurred a lew days since?I refer to < the sudden and unauthorized dispersion of near- < ly all the Cadets, from a very natural fear of 1 yellow fever. It could not be expected that they remain till the Chairman and Board of Visitors 1? .i .i :... were appriiuu ui me cai^lciicu ui u-nyn iu?u, j j and tlieir answer returned as to whether they should fly from this terrible scourge, for very probably ere that time had elapsed, it would have been of little use to fly; as it is well known that it requires but a short time Jo take the infection, and when taken, only a few hours is necessary to dispatch you to the unknown regions. No one can blame them for leaving the Institution under these circumstances,although in military parlance, it was desertion. But suppose the Chairman had been a resi ilcnt of Charleston, the case would have been different, as he, then, could have judged whether it was necessary for them to leave the city, and if so could have issued orders to that effect; either sending them to their respective homes, or transferring them to some point in the upcountry, so as to carry on their studies as usual. By this arrangement there would be 110 cause for a breach of discipline. This is only one of many instances that might be brought forward to establish our positioif"; we have chosen this, because it is fresh before the ] eyes of the public. 1 cannot think our up-coun- ] try Legislators are so jealous as to object to | sucb an arrangement. j Hoping it may meet with the consideration the case demands, \vc subscribe ourselves MANY Ul'-C<NJXTKYMEN.

With the exception of the last few years that the j Journal fell into the State mania of Secession, it ( lias always boon the advocate of something tangible and sensible, designed for the people's benefit; and at this time, (if ever out* people will j wake up on the subject of Education) the course of the Journal is such as to entitle it to a large j circulation, and to receive the approbation of every man who believes the best materials for liej ublics is an educatedpeople. , Hut I commenced with the intention of giving you a short description of a Country School Examination J attended on last Saturday in (or near) Longtown, in Fairfield District; but your readers should know that Longtown is settled principally by wealthy Planters, who plant the rich rallies of the Watercc River, but on the waters of Sawney's Creek and the sandhills adjoining, there is a large population of poor people. and ?s a matter of course, they have a great ; many children, the most of whom were growing up without any education whatever.
