f' ??????iM?I?i The Southern Rights Noniinations. > The following comments on the nomination of Gov. Troup ana Gen. Quitman we find in the Co lumbustimcsi Certainly na man in the South has a better right to speak on the subject than Mr.Forsyth. He has stood up, without flinching, 1/-.0/-1 nf rlotmp.tion and abuse UUUVl VLIV UUUIV.OU 1VHU u* from tho enemies of the South that has ever been heaped upon any man ; and he who now assumes to be a better Southern rights man than John Forsyth, is neither modest or just: * " We dissent to the wisdom and policy of this movement. We are unable to perceive what ; practical good to the cause of Southern rights can possibly come out of it; while we do see very clearly that the whole movement, just as far asit will influence the Presidential result at all. i will inure to the benefit of the Scott and Seward < party. We have the highest respect for the motives of the gentlemen composing the committee, and in all their ends and aims they have our unbounded sympathies. But our judgment is " * " * .1? i 1 against the wisdom ot the means uiey nave usvu. The Journal, the Scott organ at Montgomery, can scarcely conceal its delight, and speculations are already rife among the Scott men here, whether the movement may uot throw the vote of the sterling democratic State of Alabama for the Scott ticket. What pleases these men cannot, by possibility, be good for the cause of the rights of the South. The best commentary on the movement is the fact that the venerable Troup, the nominee of the Convention, is himself deci- ; dedly iu favor of Gen. Pierce's election. " We can understand the Webster movement i at the South. Conscious Whigs, unable to get the vote of Seward's nominee,, simply throwaway their votes on Webster. But we do not comprehend what Southern rights men expect to gain. The Webster movement hin ts Scott; < the Southern rights movement at Montgomery i helps him. And if Southern Union Whigs are , too'conscious to aid id tne installation into power of the Seward dynasty, upon what principles of , propriety can Southern rights men justify themselves before their consciences and before the tri- ( ? bunal of the country for aiding to bring about ( that public calamity ! If there were one chance ( in a million that Troup and Quitman could be elected, there would be some excuse for running | the ticket. But it is certain that Scott or fierce will be the next President, if they live, and the sole question is, which is the least objectionable \ Any propositions outside of this question is eminently and clearly impracticable, and looks like & vain glorious purpose to be consistent, at the expense of reason, justice, and the best interest 1 of the country."?Palmetto Stale Banner. The American Newspaper Press.?The American papers are charged with the use of terms in their controversies with each other not ; to be classed certainly among the graces and re- ; finements of the King's English. This is a just ; accusation. The printer's vocabulary in many parts of the United States deserves to be banished not only from the intercourse of polite life, but from letters among any people having claims to civilization. But those who make this charge do not go deep enough into its causes. It is susceptible of explanation in the same way as steamboat racing. The public will have the steam up to the point of utmost speed, and a collapse is' too often the result. In a similar manner the patrouizers of the newspaper press demand to be fed by highly spiced political condiments. The seasoning must be pungent or the articles are not adapted to the popular appetite. Let the experiment be made and we would risk a wager that a majority of the journals in the United States, exclusively of a political character, if they confined themselves to the use of temperate language and eschewed personalties, would not survive the season of controversy by which the aspirants in their particular localities were divided into hostile camps. The journals of higher mark?those which arc independent of cliques and factions move in a loftier path, but they are unfortunately too limited in number to influence the others by their better example. The American newspaper, therefore, receives its general hue and impress from the political parties with which it is inevitably associated. While parties are under the guidance of politicians, who use the newspapers as the instruments of their elevation, and who arc not among the refined classes of American society, the newspaper will be only the reflection of the original vulgarity and coarseness of those by whotn they are patronized. Can the political journal be expected to exhibit better specimens of refinement than the debates in Congress ? Can the language thrown off in the excitement of controversy, by the heated journalist, be regarded as evidence of the debasement of national manners, when the spec tacle is almost daily presented of partizans, members of legislatures, leaders, giving each other the lie, and following up the disgraceful wordy combat by blows ? The press, then, is but the echo of the utterances and reflexion of the manners that naturally belong to that class of politicians in the Union who address themselves to the popular appetency for coarseness of speech. It is part and parcel of that general expression which finds its way to the public car through any channels, however effectual and however polluted. Where is the remedy ? It must be sought in a reform that the people must originate. When the politicians now in the ascendant are driven from public station, and men who combine the manners of gentlemen with the culture of sound statesmenship, supersede, if they ever do, the present race who lead in Congress and in our public assemblies, then the political press, equally with public debate, will be purified. The lustration must come from the people. They must dl*ivn intn flio rpnomna t.f a nrr.f,>lin<l n^xnriti those demagogues who are throwing the deepest shade of dishonor on the national inauu^rs. For it is not private life, it is not social intercourse, that gives colour, in the eyes of the foreign spectator, to our modes of expression or forms >f speech. What is heard and beheld in legislative halls and in public gatherings imparts the complexion and tone by which the evidence is made up and a verdict rendered against the whole people.?Eve. News..

IIow many striking and beautiful ] examples of early religious instructions have we in the < history of some of the truly great men of our country; | the brightest and most illustrious of which is Wash- ; ixotox. lie was taught from early infancy the prin- 1 eiples of truth and virtue, and on no account whatever could lie bo induced to swerve from tho path of duty, I even in childhood. From whence then does true 1 greatness come? At this day there are many kinds < of greatness, and it is not often that we see goodness 1 and greatness combined; the man who is truly great, ' in the fullest acceptation of the term, must be also tru ly good. Such men as Washington* arc rarely to bo 1 found, and every age does not produce his equal, taking ' him in all. Wo may, without indulging too far, ex- 1 claim: "Long shall wo seek his likeness?long in vain, ; And turn to all of liira which may remain, Sighing that nature formed such men, but one, And broke the die, in moulding Washington 1" Nor is it saying too much, when wo class the "beloved and reverenced" Calhoun, with those who were truly great, llis life is a striking example of how great u man may become. In a letter written on tho privnto life of Mr. Calhoux, a just tribute has been paid to his greatness. Tho authoress, (Miss Bates) asks: "To what arc we to ascribe the formation of such a character? There must have been causes for such effects. Whence came his temperance, his self-denial, his incorruptible integrity, his fidelity in ever}- duty, his love for mankind, his indefatigable efforts for the good of others, and his superiority to those tilings which the natural heart most craves? Mr. Calhoun's childhood was spent among the glorious works of nature, and was sheltered from the temptations which abound in promiscuous society, lie was tho son of pious parents, and by them he was taught the Bible, and from that source undoubtedly his native gifts were perfected. "I have understood that from early life ho was an advocate for the doctrines of the Bible, as understood by orthodox Christians." In this we may clearly infer that tho early training of Mr. Caliioux, was such as to lix iu his mind the strictest regard for truth and virtue, and of which his after life was such a bright and glorious example. ' The muse forbids the virtuous man to die. And consecrates his name to immortality." These among many are examples of true greatness. The Irving House, N. Y. "This House has changed hands. The Messrs. Howards have parted with all their interest in the Ho-, tei to Messrs. Doolittle .t Burroughs. H. Doolittle of Cincinnati, and Wm. II. Burroughs of Philadelphia. We understand Mr. I'oolittlc furnishes the larger part of the capital, and that tiie house is to be principally under the administration of Mr. Burroughs, who is to be the active partner, and has been a well known and very popular landlord in Philadelphia." We take the abovo notice from an oxchango (tho Carolinian.) by which it will be seen that one of tho proprietors of the "Irving" is to dolidk; yet, we have no doubt, from the reputation'which this House enjoys. that visitors will lind very comfortable burrows to lodge in. This is a poor pun, wc know it, but the best wo have on at present. Free Schools. Wc make the annexed extract from the rresentmcnt of tlie r.rnnd Jury of Richland District, niado at the late Term of the Court. We hope the subject will be taken up bv all the Grand Juries of the State, and that it will be kept before the eyes of our Legislators at least until some etl'ort is made to improve the pres cut system: "The Grand Jury further present, as worthy of grave consideration, the insufficiency of our present system of Free Schools, and the total inadequacy of the fund appropriated by the Legislature for that object. The chief difficulty that lias attended the practical operation of our Free School establishment has been owing not only to the cause just mentioned but to the sparse population of many neighborhoods, rendering it extremely inconvenient for children at a distance to give their daily attendance at the school-house. This, it is supposed, may lie remedied, by adopting a more enlarged plan, with larger appropriations of money. Among the plans suggested, and that which has met with most favor in the jury room, is the establishment of manual labor schools, for instruction in agriculture or the mechanic arts in connection with the ordinary branches of education, at which the children of indigent parents may be fed, clothed, and instructed at the public expense In a government like ours, where the vote of every man is, and should bo, of equal value in elections, and where a large majority of the male population arc liable, as jurors, to sit in judgment upon tl^c life or property of the citizen, it is of he utmost importance that those who exercise hese great privileges should do so understandingy. They should, by a course of moral and incllectual training, be prepared to elevate to oficc the most meritorious, and be capable of cor ectly deciding, as jurymen, upon the rights of icrson or property. By making education more general among >ur citizens, their sphere of usefulness would be ;reatly enlarged; and talents would be brought uto the " full blaze of day" which are now, and lave heretofore bo?.n, hid amid the shades of toverty, ignorance, and vice. The Grand Jury recommend to the Legislature m appropriation, annually, of one hundred thouand dollars, (or more should it Ik: found necesarv,) for the purpose of putting into successful peration a Free School System upon the plan lerein indicated, and that the same be persevered n until the great objects contemplated shall be ully realized. The Grand Jury are of opinion hat the expenditure of one hundred, or one inndred and fifty thousand dollars, annually, to ecure the full operation of such a Free School system as is here suggested, will be tnore than epaid to the State, in the possession of an enerprising, industrious and educated native popuation. A. HERBEMONT, Foreman. ? Religious Meeting.?Rev. Dr. Baker arrived it this place on Saturday last, and has been faith ally and efficiently ministering at the holy altar lay and nightevcr since?preaching with a clear- | tess, zeal and eloquence such its our people have Hii-'iajis seldom or never before witnessed. With i head filled with bible lore and varied learning, 10 has .a tongue from which it all readily and ;asily flows; but above all he has a heart warm md ever burning with the love of his God and ii* fellow-man?a heart whose impulses add enAMthnMoem 4-r\ "hies c/"\ fliai :i i; v <iuu unuiunn^iu iv uio tiv^j?v?i?v the listener is drawn to him irresistibly by his iccents of persuasion, or overwhelmed with the iood of his denunciations. lie knows that man is a creature both of In:cllcei and Passion, and therefore lie addresses limsclf not to the understanding alone but rouses the feelings, and puts the impelling power al work by which human nature is moved to give life and action to the convictions of the mind.? slumbering thoughts and inert principles are thus shaken from lethargy into activity, and an Dpeti demonstration is produced by the instrumentality of true eloquence?an agency divinely employed to effect on earth the high purposes of heaven. The efforts of Dr. Baker are likely to be blessed here as well as elsewhere by the conversion of many. Some nine men most of them in their prime, went up as inquirers after the Truth on Sunday night. Dr. Baker will soon depart for Texas.?Marion Star. Judge Butler.?This distinguished gentleman has been spending a few days in our town in social intercourse with his rclathes and friends, lie informed us that he purposed leaving to day for his home in Edgefield. We were gratified to see the Judge looking so young and in such good health and spirits. The ability and chivalrous devotion to the honor and interest of his State, which Judge B. h is displayed in the U. S. Senate, have endeared him to every true hearted Carolinian. Green rilie Moun to in ccr. Homicides.?Wc understand that, on Friday last, a man by the name of Joseph Futereli was killed bv Isaac Medlin. They, had been at a barbecue somewhere on the Sand Iliils. At another barbecue, given the same day, or the day previous, a difficulty occured between two men, in which both were injured, one of them, it is thought, fatally. On Thursday week last an almost fatal affray occurred in Marvsville, Ky., between the lie v. Mr. Gundy and Mr. Iteid both of that city. The two met oil the street and commenc d a political argument.at which lliej .artii s"waxed warmer and warmer," until iVy came t ? Mows. The clergyman was 1 > 1 rai i in his face and limbs. By a letter from Orangeburg to the editors of this paper, we learn that the Hon. Micheal Gramling, Senator from that District, died on the 4th inst., of congestive fever Charleston Mercury. Crime is New York.?There were no less than three cases ofhoinicides or murders in New York between Monday night and Wednesday noon. On Monday night a woman pushed another down a tlighl of stairs ; causing her death. Tuesday night a party who were annoying a newly wedded pair by a burlesque serenade, were fired on by a brother of the bride and one of them killed: on Wednesday at midday, and in the crowded street, an affair occurred, in which one of the participants was horribly mutillatcd by a cut in the abdotnon and died the same day. The Grand Jury of the U. S. Court for the Southern District of New York have made a presentment to the Court on the subject of the steamboat disasters which have recently occurcd upon the Hudson Diver. They attribute these diasters and tin ir fatal results to'thrcc principal causes. First, the constant violation uf the 7th section of the Act of Congress of 18.38, which requires all vessels propelled by steam when stopped for whatever purpose to blow oft* steam, so as to keep the head of steam as near as practicable to what it is when the boat is in motion, Second, that all the boats on the Hudson river arc very insufficiently provided with any proper equipment either for extinguishing lire or for saving the lives of passengers in case of disaster to the boat;and third, to the tact that the practice of racing lias become of late very general and constant with the boats on that river. The jury call the attention of the law officers of the United States to these statcsmcnts. North Carolina.?The Legislature of North Carolina convened in special session, on Monday last. It is expected that it will continue alter the time appointed for the regular session. The 11 ?1 '. .U.i- lur fTnn J.tlut TTill senate was cam-u w the Principal Clerk of the last Senate, who proceeded to call the Senatorial Districts in their order. When the District embracing Currituck and Camden was called, Dr. Shaw and Mr. Barnard both presented certificates of election?the former from the Sheriff of Currituck, and the latter from the Sheriff of Camden, being a case of a contested election. Col. Bower nominated d for Speaker of the Senate, the Hon. Weldon N. [j Edwards, Democrat, and Gen. John Gray Bynum a nominated for the same office, Col. Andrew Joiner, S Whig, Mr. Edwards was elected by a majority r of three votes. The Hon. John Hill of Stokes, ? was re-elected Principal Clerk. - d In the House, John Baxter, Esq. of Ilender- t son, Whig, was elected Speaker by a majority of v nine votes over the Hon. James C. Dobbin of ^ Cumberland, Democrat. Six Democrats and one Whicr were absent, who, had they been pre- s sent, would have reduced Mr. Baxter's majority t to 4. The Legislature having organized, adjourned to meet again on Tuesday morning.

Arthur Wcllesley, the Duke of i Wellington, son of the Earl of Mornington, was ( born in 17G9, and was in his 84th year, at the ! period of his death. Few names have been more , renowned in history, than that of the " Iron ( Duke," and few men have lived so long engaged in the active affairs of life, or of events of such a momentous character. He entered the Army , as an Ensign, in his 18th year. In his 21st i year lie was sent to the House of Commons. In 1 live years from the time he entered the service, he had reached the command of a regiment, without having seen any active service. The j j first service he saw, was in India, against Tippoo !. Sultan, where he speedily rose to the rank of i1 | Major General. Next he was engaged in the Mnhratta war, which he brought to a successful close. In the Peninsular campaign in Spain and Portugal, he did good service for his country, against France, and received the title of Baron Douro, and Viscount Wellington, for fighting the battles of Talevcra, and the Douro, against Soult. In 1815 he, with Blucher, fought the battle of Waterloo, which destroyed Napoleon's power in Europe. He has held the higest civil offices, in the gift of the Crown, and had pensions and honors showered upon him, such as no other person in England probably ever received. His policy, in political life, was always to cling to old institutions and systems, as long as they could safely be maintained, and then to accept the new. No name in the history of England, - ^ AAntiim* Knnn />rvnnnafori trlfii ui me eeutui^, UIM WUHW^? ...?.* more momentous events, than that of the Duke of Wellington. < > Fate of Col. Fiieaxeb.?The brave and talented Col. Freaner, whose letters under the signature of "Mustang," were so justly admired during the Mexican war, has fallen a victim to savage barbarity near the Southern boundary of Oregon, lie started from the Shasta county in com pan}' with four or five others, some five weeks ago, for the purpose of attending the Democratic State Convention, since which time the party has not boot) heard from, although the animal he rode has strayed into one of the settlements. An Indian squaw, who has fallen into the hands of Americans reports that a parly of men bearing the description of Frealtor's were murdered by the Pitt liiver Indians ; and the report is in all probability corr.ct. Freaner, Tobiti, Peoples ? three men who gained literary distinction in the Mexican war?all lind an early grave in California. The Dunker Ilill Aurora contains the fol lowing paragraph, which shows at what a sad price many purchase the golden ore of California : " Three of our citizens have lately returned from the country of gold sick, hoping to be rc. ? i i?1.1. i? ii.? ..r it,.:. .1: sioreu to iicumi uv uic iiu ui lhuu n.iutu mmate and the carefulness of friends; but all have died, dropped into the grave among their kindred, without in either case being able to communicate to them any information respecting their affairs, either in California or here. They accounted it a great blessing at last to bo permitted to return home to die." The Newspaper in* a Family.?A school teacher, who has been engaged a long time in his profession, and witnessed the influence of a paper upon the minds of a family of children, writes to the editor of the Ogdensburg Sentinel o o as follows: 1 have found it to be a universal fact, without exception, that those scholars, of both sexes and of all ages, who have had access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who do not, arc 1. Better readers, excelling iu pronunciation and emphasis, and consequently read more understanding!)'. 2. They are better spellers, and define words with greater cjisc and accuracy. 3. They obtain a practical knowledge of geography, in almost half the time it requires others, as the newspapers has made them familiar with the location of the important places, nations, their governments and doings on the globe. 4. They arc hotter grammarians, for having become so familiar with ever)* variety of style, in the newspaper, from the common place advertisement to the finished and classical oration of the statesmen, they more readily comprehend ' the moaning of the text, and consequently analyze its construction with accuracy. 5. They write bolter compositions, using better language, containing more thoughts, more clearly and connectedly expressed. 0.
