" J Our mails leave ao early ou Wednesday, that we d are compelled to defer a notice of the Hall at the 0 Palmetto House, on Tuesday night, till next week. a Briefly, we may eay that the evening was full of C eujoynient, and everything passed off to the eatisfaction of the guests. * JRFKKRXO^CHOICE, Esq. j It will be seen from Mr. Choice's card that his ii nomination to tho Legislature was unauthorised- a We suppose his positiou to bo this: IIo is not a 11 candidato by his own act.

Tho regiment was composed ol?the Glenn Springs Cavnlry, Capt. G. A. Smith; Black Roek Troop, Capt. II. Gillman, Union Cavalry, Capt. R. F Macbeth; Brooks Chargers, Capt. .las. B. Dillard, 11 and Buzzard Roost Troop, Capt. Wylie. 11 When the line was formed by Adjutant Sims ' Col. Harlan assumed command. Tho regiment a was reviewed in line by Brig. Gen. S. R. Gist, with " searching scrutiny and conferences with tho Colo- r nrl on deficiency in dross nud equipment* wlicre either existed. This formality over, (iei. Gist ai- j tamed the functions of Adjutant and Inspector General, (Adjutant und Inspector Gen. Dnnovnut being detained at home by illness in his family,) and I repaired to the headquarters of the Commander-inChief. Col. Harlan detailed n squadron of Cavalry h M escort to his Excellency, who soon mndu his sppcaranco surrounded by a brilliant staff, taking po- 1 sition at the flag. Among these we recognised Col. Sondley, Gen. lluut and Adjutant Sims, of h Newberry, Maj. Raker, of Laurens, and other Di- l< vision and Regimental officers. After interchanging salutes in military fashion, Col. Harlan put his troops in motion, and with admirable address went through tho card of evolu- ( tions. It is no oomplimciit to say that each movement was executed with preoision, and the per- . formances exhibited the possession of raro military ability by Col. Ilailan and correct training on the part of tho men. ] At the close of tho cxorotscs tho officers were or dered to the front and tho troops massed lolistcu to t a speech from the Governor. lie commended their , iliscipliue, euforoed the nec-wsily of military knowl- |, edge as the sure reliance of freemen, and exhorted ^ proper pride in all that appertains to the efficiency of p tho soldier. Adverting to the Kansas question, and tho issues likely to grow out of it, lit thought this (i was tho time, of all others, to maintain our military r system, and he ready to vindicate the interests and integrity of our section. The speech was listened to with groat re*|K-ct, an J at iu close was hailed with lusty cheers. Gen. Hunt and Col. Harlan were then called wit, who addressed a few words to the t regiment; which was shortly after dismissed. We understand the Candidates entertained the {| people with speeohes after the muster, hut our inner man plead so earnestly for attention, that wo rode off |, to Glenn Springs to appease tho importunity. Jan- ( ney wo found overrun with coinpiny. Wo could scarce get a glance at his hospitable face. After much watching and struggling wo secured a seat at 0 hi# well-spread board, and passed a pleasant ovcuing iu intercourse with the friends wo met there. j In the cveuiug a quiet and enjoyable little '"hop" 1 came off, during which we saw tho Governor led 11 through the mazes of tho danve by a Jnyt e ladic o' ' tho neighborhood. l>ong before tho ''wee hours" c the house and its inhabitants were in repose?tho *' latter apparently pleased with the sights and enjoy- 1 menta of the day. We sought our solitary Cabin(ihanks to lien't foresight and recognition ol an . old acquaintance,) aud never parted eyelid till the Sabbath matins of myriad birds were warbled forth from many a leafy bower. SCRAPToSllBUsi. <j There is an old Greek proverb which says: "It ( does not become poets to abuse each other like a crones wlto sell cakes." And certainly mucb less does it become legislators of a great Republic. I] The Journal of Cotnmeroe says in reference to I the Sumner and Brooks difficulty: "We would be the lust to countenance the bitter r personalities and wholesale denunciation which Mr. \ Sumner poured forth during two days, disgracing .] himself and the Semite." "The wounds inflicted by the tongue on the feeltogs of an adversary aro often more cruel and maHoiotu than the fiercest violence committed on tho person." o "A civilized nation will aim at being respectable 0 as well as formidable." ^ "Few aro ignorant of the precept among the Golden Verses of Pythagoras?'But most of all, respect thyself.'? 11 A European writer says: 11 "I must conf< ss that I can hardly trust tho alio" 1 gallons of the man who lirst, by rancorous in vectiret ti provokes a challenge to a duel; uud when the clial- v loage comes, refuses to fight on the ground of religions scruple, or tho barbarism or the illegality of the ordeal." Yf.li.ow Fivis.?Some weeks since our Char- v lestou correspondent stated that several yellow fever n cases were reported as having occurred there, and much consequent alarm was felt among the people. No official information, however, on the subject was given to the public until the Oth instant, when th?

The Const.tu- 8 kc all other great embodiments of ftinda law, was, in the estimation of its authors, 11 don rk*son and ji'sricr. Its supreme res- ? so was to the "Stilus Populi," and the great ta of the confederated sovereignties.

I maintain then thai true conetitutional?ay, tid scriptural?"freedom of epeech" boa never yef ecu denied in our oountry, nor even endangered, he supposition or insinuation that there ere, either a tbe South or any other portion of the Republic, lioeo who desire its abolition, and advocate the em >loyrneat of foroe sud violonoo for that parpoae, is it onoe absurd and wicked. There are those who, or their country's honor?for the sake of good norals and the public peace and welfare?have [reatly desired loses the obutee of speech corrected ?nono that its proper freedom should be restrict d. Aod here you will allow me to say, that if rou dsaira to see true scriptural principles established rw the rule of both public aud private life, the v I tola moral force of your able journal should be lir?oU>d primarily and chiefly to that end?against bote abueee and in favor of their reformation. Vlr. Sumner's vpeeeb ia before tbe world. It shows or itself. And it is just such a speech as nineteen wento-ths of Adam's family this oountry over, and lie world over, will, when the hour of calm rcflecion conies, condemn as not only beneath the dignity of a K>-uator, but as needfully, if not unsnfferihly abusive. Ho long theu as you uphold that tun/ of public debate, and attempt to throw bulwarks of defence around those who em>loy it, the results of your efforts will be to multiply eaeee of violence, relax mrn'e hold upon the principles of the Utile, and install ia their ?lead the rode which you hare so severely de10 u need.' This is just ascertain as that there is a u-aven above us. As proof of it I will give you die fact, 1st. That the idea of perfect immunity ttnbolderie even timidity into audacity! It was when the kid had reached an eminence to which [he wolf could not climb thnt it exhausted its vosahulury of abuse upon its otherwise div.ided foe. And so of the parrot when swung from the winlow of a four-story house in the city, and surronnd' >1 by thu bars of its rich roaster's cngt?its abuse >f the old African waj unbounded. Cudjo's sarsuun of: "Craven coward, if you were in the bush where your father lived, you would not talk ao to me" was not only what ho knew in be the troth, but i/ teas only a part of the retributive justice if AicA he had for it in tlore! These fables arc rue to the life of other natures than the brute creation. Their plain English is, that in ignoblo minJi lbuse naturally, if not necessarily, results from immunity ! But I infer from you late articles that, youisolves being judges, eoegressmen are not all iioblo minded. 2d, Now that you have, it ii liop- J, censed your heavy denunciations of the vast multitudes who, in many farts of the country, "aoijuieaced" in the retribution visited upon tlic head of Mr. Sumner for his abasive speech, it is proper Lli.it jnu should kuow tthy they did so: it was simply because they believed it "a merited retribution" ?u<?t that they sanctioned the principle! These ire the d'tdurations of thousands: "If," say tlicy, 'there are no laws to restrain abuse?if neither icttsc of honor nor regard for the decencies of jivil anion or the precepts of Christianity will reit rain the false and foul tongue?if the inuoccnt and llic alnent are to lie thus wantonly assailed and ibuscd?it is the only eourte that it left lis." linn you sec, genilrinen, how your upholding the Sumner conduct?while your denunciations, kept ip until doomediiy against such asaanlts, so long as lUeh provocations continue?will ho nothing but .vastcd indignation and labor?tends to the cstnbidtmcnt of the very principle* which you sim to >verthrow! *'Freedom of soec h." as your article It-fines it, is smi >nyniou< w ith freedom of abuse IJut sceurs p?T<ect immunity to the freedom of those, and you opan sluices whioh must sweep nwny lie fuuudat otis. For you may rest assured that so ong as aueh licentiousness of speech as. was claimed ind exercised in that Senator's bite spoeclt is the >rder ot the day, so long will the teeond order o! he day he .is it then was. In other word*, the rt? rihst-on ill some violent shape will follow, and .Im: d,-spite whatever laws may ho enacted to prerent the recurrence of such semes. or whatever uim.u.it ..lis ecrt.nn pubho presses may uiter against hem after they have transpired! But, according to your owu showing, this governucut cannot ondsrc nt my more such shocks ?> it is* lately received ! And yet I wholly dissent ro 11 your a*s?*ttiou that the whole criminality rest# v tli those who resent the like gross and intention u insults. Tlio Constitution, in the veiy article vliicli you have quoted, makes members of bjlli louse* ot Congress liable hi arrest?ay, delivers Item ov? r to the hangman's halter, for plotting igamst tht government. I invite you, then, to cvictv jour own picture ot the results of Mr. Sumler's speech, nud a*V yourselves if there be no noral treason in the intentional and unmeasured lie of epithets, such as must fill miliums of hearts villi venom?excite revengeful feelings of demon ir.Hnl ?array State against State?yea, subvert the cry foundations of the republic! Such results in isrt, have already been witucvsed from that speech ?the remainder you seem to apprehend may S'*>n allow. And yet, not a word of that abuse icos ailed for; nay, both the fores of his arguments, id the strcugth of !i.s cause, would huve been chanced by a mora courteous insuuer. 1 trust, hen, gentlemen, that upon a calm review of this vhole matter, you will agree with me, that the enndy for the evits which you so deeply deplore? ml the only remedy which, in tho nature of the use, can ever prove effectual and abiding?is: to iekukm the xoxiu or rcst.ic debate! And Ins, it seems to me, will be best done by elevsting >ud r> fining pubilO moral seulimcnl as regards the ise of abusive language in debnte; and then, rt noting all other shiehls and defences from the onduct and the persons of legislators than such is the lairs of the land throw around other citi ens Americans want no licensed slanderers? 10 privileged class o( abusers of their fellow men! Here, then, you have a noble cause, and & gluri' us field for efTort. For that reform also every hnstian should most devoutly pray; and every onservstive nnd patriotic press should xealously ind unremittingly labor. That done, there will be 10 u?e for either '"hotly guards" or "canes" ut the npitol! Men's own character, and the omnipotent up|auT and protection ot a strong and united pubi c entlmcnt, will then ntford nil the immunity that ither the personal independence of the individual nail, the honor of the State, or the publio interest vcr demands!
