Sena tor Robertson is Chairman of the Senate Committee on disabilities, and has worked earnestly and zealously to remove all of bio fellow-citizens from the unjust and wholly unnecessary burden of political disabilities.

After waitiog some little time at the Depot, the train arrived. Taking my carpot* eack and getting on board, 1 leu ad the eere already fall; and while * easting my eye about ia perplexity for a seat, a mild-looking old gentleman at my aide, near the door, kindly eaid, " My daughter, you eao ahare thie teat with me." Thanking him, I aat down. In a lew minutes he made aom a remarka about the pleaaent morning, the late ralo, Ae , and asked if we alwaye had such a crowd on the Louisville train. I replied, " No, I presume not; the schools are now closing for the summer vacation, and I think most of the passengers are school girls returning home ; but I am not Kentuckisn?I am a South Carolinian, sir,"^for you know how proud we always are of telling that.) lie looked around as If pleasantly surprised, say log, "And what Is your name, my dear ? 1 too am a South Carolinian." We soon found each other out, and I was delighted to meet the Rev. Mr. Martin, of Columbia, S. 0., whose Cburoh was burned whea Columbia, the pilde of our State, was laid in ashes by Sherman, In February, '65 He is now traveling through Kentucky, soliciting aid for the rebuilding oi bis burnt church. In Lexington he was treated with tnueh civilly by Gen. Wm, Preston, whose elegance of bearing and princely hospltall* ty render him a conspicuous member of Lexington society. He was also entertain* ed by Col. Wm. Breckenridge, another one of Lexington's mo^ hospitable citizens, whose house could not be otherwise than charming, with so fascinating and aeeotn* plished a hostess as Mrs. Breekinrtdg#. I regretted much that he wae not long enough in Lexington to see Mr. John McCaw and family, formerly of South Carolina, at whose home of ease and Inxnry every South Carolinian finds a heartfelt welcome. The late Dr. Thornwell, of Columbia, was their guest when in Kentucky, some years ago ; and they are always pleased to receive with kiodoces any South Carolinians who may come to Lexington. And another agrees* ble acquaintance would have been found \i. i-- A u : it at-- ? * u iui. vbd, v. ijorriauu, me biuibuio ma just Uwjtr," of Kentucky. Now, 1 cannot leave off writing about this proud and aristocratic little interior yclept, " The Athena of the West," without mentioning one more of ite prominent sillsens and conspicuous families. I allude to the Woolfolke, to Mr. Joe. S.

In Covington and Cincinnati, the lion. Thomas L. Jones claimed him as hia guest, as he is wont to do with all of " onr people." Who could be otherwise than delighted with such an host and hostess as Mr. and Mrs. Jones, distinguished as they both are for their graceful and elegant courtesy, and surrounded as ono is at their home by all that wealth can buy and a cultivated taste can dictate to adorn a man sion where a prince might dwell? In less than fifty minutes we reached the Frankfort Depot, where I was met by my two friends, Miss Johnstone, of Texas, and Mist Cullum, of Mobile. Strange at it may sound, there ia not an omnibus in all Frankfort?beeauae they are not needed. So wo all walked to our plaeea of appointment?I with Miaa Johnstone to the pleasant home of Judge Drane, in " South Frankfort," and he with Miss Cullum, at oioerona to the residence of Attorney Gen eral Rodman lie has certainly been fortunate in his Kentucky friends, net the least of whom is Gen. Rodman, at whose house all the General's numerous visitors are made-to feel, as Mr. Martin says, " so perfectly at home." A sweeter feeling cannot be experienced by those away from homo. The next day the pulpit of the Methodist Church was tendered Mr. Martin. Motwithstanding it was "a rainy Sunday," the house was crowded, and although these noble, generous-hearted citizens of Frankfort had ocnie entirely unprepared, he took up quite a laige collection, besides the eontrU buttons sent in next day. But of such it Kentucky 1 She has ever been an ornament to " the Union." and her motto, - United we Stand," her people eeem ever reedy to verify by helping those that would " fall." On Monday, Mr. Martin called on me and I proposed a walk to the Cemetery, and to the grave of Daniel Boone. On our way, we pemed the new and handsome eity school building, and meeting Mr. Brow der, ita Director, at the gate, he invited ue to walk in, which we did, though somewhat hurried. We fslt amply repaid ; it was a pleasure to see so complete and elegant a normal school^ There are at present about six hundred pupils, under the control of Mr. Browder,of Louisville. The Frankfort people have cause to be proud of their school sod its Principal. After crossiog the Kentucky River, paeeing through the eity and climbing one of Frankfort's hills, juat io the city, we reach ed oar goal; and we found, aa we expect ed, one of the moat pietareaque and beautiful cemeteries in all Kentucky, and that ie laying not a little, beeauaa here the oecaeteriea are all beautiful.

It is a pity that Mayor Q r did not see this bridge before he built his. The great geniug of American people seems to be expending itself in building hotels and bridges. Thanking the Captain for our pleasant trip, we left the City of Vioksburg, and took lodging at the St. James, a new hotel. A friend from Abbeville had joined us at Memphis, and aooompanied ns to this po int. Here he left ns and went to Kentucky.

VTe were now booked here for nine days. This is now the 3d city in the U. S.? Population 3,14,000, recent census, and is growing more rapidly than any of our large cities* During the war and lor two years tberealter, Chicoga went far ahead of St. Louis, but now the latter 1* going ahead of the former. There is very great rivalry between these two cities' both competing for the Texas, Kansas, Mo., Iowa, Nebraska and Territorial trade. Both oities are connecting themselves by rail, with the principal business centres, in those different States. St. Louis will be (As City of the Mississippi Valley. The worst thing that can be said of the oity is, that the water is too tbin for bash, and too thick for water. I have heard of some persons traveling through the west, and when asked about the water, on their return, say they forgot to taste any. The Iron interest in the vicinity of this city will soon equal that of llttaburg ; io fact, the eity proper will, in a few years, include Carondulet. As all strangers who go to Naples never f.il ?J i??- * .... .. i tounud, biiu iuuk uown ine mokiog crater ; so no stranger aver leaves St. Louis without having spent at least one mire day in Shaw's Garden. This is a botanical garden, owned by an Old Bach, comprising 46 acrea, and aitaated beyond the city limits. You take the street cars, and where they stop the crowd of persons constantly going to see, is so great that nice hacks leave every 15 minutes, and take you to the spot. The peculiarity of thia Garden is that the Immense establishment is kopt up entirely at tha expeneo of the owner, lie expends annually on it $18,000, and will leave it to the city when he dies. We can very readily conceive of flower gardens in our front yards, but the mind can scarcely take in 46 acres, most beautifully and artistically arranged, with shrub* ory, evergreens, and every description of flowers, and perfection attained in all tha minutest details. At the entrance to the Garden there is quits a pretty Lodge, ocen* pied by an old woman, who will answer all questions. The first point we viaiud was the very large glars house, about 40 feet high, near the Northern centre. All of the beautiful flowers bad been removed to different parts of the Garden, and nothing remained in these glass houses exeept large Bananna trees, filled with fruit, about half grown, oranges and othor tropical fruits.? Four large glass houses occupy different parts of lbs establishment. The labyrinth is very successfully arrange 1. We walked SO minutes in a space not larger than 40 feet square, but finally threaded its mazes. A museum containing a zoological and mincrnlcgieal collection is near the centre. The owner resides in the southern part in a very pretty building. A stone wall is nesrty completed around IS acrea. I heard a Russian nobleman, wbo was visiting the Garden, remark that, takan as a whole, it was not surpassed in hie country. I consider this Garden many years in advance of the aesthetics 1 taste of the Weet. It comec up to once idea of Kurepcan fine aria. I suppose thet the Old Baeh lovee flowers more than fine churches, more than splendid pictures and model statues, more the a swoet music, and even mora than sweat and beaotilul woman. I am perfectly satisfied that if you knew all, you would find " something rotten in Denmark." There is 108 churches in the city?moat numsrous, Catholics ; next, Presbyterian*. Some of these manaionalis del ara very fine. There ia but one place in a city whsre atr*ngeri can pass their evenings profitably and pleasantly, and that Is at tha Theatre. We go, except on Sunday nights. The German population of St. Louis ia very large and controlling. It Is a great light, to oae who never saw it, to go out lo the Beer Gardens on Snnday afternoon, and see several thousand Germane, men and vo men and infants, all sitting at their tables, drinking lager, eating elieeae, buttered with mnatard, and every one talking aad laughing at the same time. The Germans, as a class, spend their Sunday afternoons at the Beer Gardens. Woman's Rights are strongly advoeated in this eity. I attended a very largo and pnlhusiastle meeting of the sisterhood at the Temple. The great speesh of the oe % oaaion wu delivered by Kin Becdy.

On Saturday last, tha 14th inet., it being 8t John's Day, I witnessed a Celebration and Pldbio of tha liaeonio Lodge, at. Raidville. We met at the Lodge Room at 10 o'elock A. If., where a large number of brothers from different Lodge* had assem. bled. After the Lodge was opened and tb* usual ceremonies gone through, the proeee eiou was formed by Brother O. A. Pickle. Marshal of tb* day, and marched to the Fe> male College Chapel, where a large assembly of persons had met to see and hear what was to be done and eaid. Services were commenced by the singing of a well regulated choir of yoang persons, accompanied with : the piano, and led by our friend, Esquire ' Hammond. The musio eras very fine. Rer. Mr. White acted aa Chaplain. After which, ' Esq uire Ja*. Blrnie delivered a very able ' and appropriate address. "Sobjeet, the an* ' tlquity of Masonry, and a history of onr 1 forefathers and revolutionary veterans, the interest they displayed In behalf of Mason- 1 ry; also, the organisation of the several Grand Lodges, do." After which, Mr. Bo- | bo, of Spartanburg, followed with another , very able and interesting address. 8ubjeet, | 'The Analogy of Masonry and Religion," whieh he showed and proved to have a i elose connection from the first Lodge found < in the Temple of King Solomon. He also showed the many morals taught and symbols shown by the emblems and orders of the Temple. I hope tHh Reidville Lodge will have these addresses published, as they will be read with interest, and do mush 1 good, no doubt. After these services were over, then eame another interesting feature ?the well-filled baskets of good thitfg*. I, with several others, got a most sumptuous dinner at Brother Simmeou Westmoreland's carriage ; and I tell you there is some one at his farm who knows how to fix up good 1 things. I was told that this Institution was flourishing and increasing very fast There were some 20 or more young lady boarders and many others expected, and no doubt this will be a flourishing School under its able teaehers. A VISITOR. ' for thb amSlriLLI sstllfiiii. 1 The Sohool Taught by Mrs. Caldwell. I By the invitation of Mrs. A. Mostaoc* Caluwri.1., the Principal of one of the excellent Free Schools in Greenville, I had the pleasure of attending the Examination of the pupils. The tarns of the school closed on the 23d inat., after a session of six months. I was present at the Examination, the two Noondays immediately preceeding the elose of the session ; and also on Friday, the last day of I ths term. TKa 'Rvamlnallnti wam a? I braoed the branches usually taught in a high ' I Knglish School, suah as Grammar, Gaogra- ' phy, Arithmatic, History and Philosophy ; and I must say, I never have seen girls and 1 boys, (for the school is composed of both,) ae- ' quit themselves in a manner more creditable to themselves and teacher. The sohool had seventy pupils during the past session. The ' answers were prompt and in the main correct. Mrs. Caldwell, seems to have the gift in an uncommon degree, of inspiring her pupils irtth lore and respect for herself. She was 1 very ably assisted in her arduous duties dur- 1 ing the past session, by the Misses Cssa and ' Nelly Mont as ok. The next session will ' open on the 1st Monday in September next.? 1 Mrs. Caldwell proposes to bestow a Gold Medal on the pupil who may most distinguish 1 himself or herself, next session, and subae* 1 quently a Gold Medal on eaeh member of the 1 graduating class.

Judge Busteed of Alabama, before the Hull lux Committee said he had been told a year ^ and a half ago, conldentially by a eitisen of Huntsville, that there was a Ku-Klu* organ- ' isation in the northern part of the State.

This was the portrait in oil of our well known towatoan, Mr. Orchard, Sr.,' xecuted, without Instrumental aid, hy his lifted and accomplished daughter, Miss Genie. In the department of landscape drawing, as welt as in that of portrait painting, this young lady has already achieved quite a success, and we hope that she will be pleased to pursue her high art until she wins yet greater honor. In the portrait referred to, it occurs to us that the young painter has caught the expression of her subject with evident art, and the drapery is well executed. Usually ladies confine themselves to the needle, and they are not without honor who thus falfill the duty that devolresupon them. But fortunate are tbey who can also wield the brush of the artist, and put on canvas the features of living men and woman, or striking objects in nature.
