HOME AGAIN. After a brief abecnco to the metropolis we are catc again at our poat, with rencwod elasticity of phy- and ai'juo for the wear and tear of oar profession, even l',c if not richer in ideas or wealthy in experience. v!1* Charleston is full of bualls aud enterprise to ctrau- yolu ger view, notwithstanding business men complain uJds <>f dullness in trade. It is also muoh improved with- 01 in a few years. New church spires shout hearonward, while old ones nro rejuvenated, and wear ;sa the garish air of lato construction. This speaks hut* well for that home life shut out from casual visitors, and stumps n nio u! sentiment as prevalent iu tho W|j| eommanity.

Among the many csUblishmeuts of this 0f { kind now entering for publio faror, we recognise beei none as ohullenging more liberal patronage than nne the Colder House, (the Old Planters,') on the corner of Church and Queen streets, under the hssceship of Mr. J. \V.

BLUE BIHUB RAILROAD. A deputation fh>m Atxkrson was In Charleston last wrack to stir up the tardy frieuda of tbs Blue Ridge Railroad to make up the deficient private subscription necessary to acoure the Slate aid nlready voted, but now locked up in the Treasury, i The proposition was that Charleston should raise two-thirds of the amount ($230,000, we believe) and the remaining third would be seeured ou the line of road The assurance woa given that the i amount would be promptly mado up, und the com- i mittec returned home. We will not pretend to any that this road will j not be built, but wv are satisfied that ths late speech i of Wm. Qregg iu the legislature has awakened .1 some indifference and much opposition to the cn- i terprise. A former Senator (who did more, per- ' Imps, to secure the committal of the State to this t work than any single man then in the Legislature) I told us that he was perfectly satisfied cf the blun- < dcr made in engaging tho State in this herculean i task, and would be more than willing to give up I the $2,000,000, and nil claim upon it, for release | from further aid. llo concurs with Mr. Gregg, < that it involves not only the building of the Blue < Ridge rood nt a cost of at least $10,000,000, bu' I an entire new road through to Charleston. This conulusion is sneered at very unwisely by somo. Consider for a moment that the South Carolina nnJ Greenville roads, worked to the utmost capacity of a single track, cannot keep their platforms clear of freight?indeed, that both roads are overwhelmed with business?and where is the smallest chance of carrying ofFthu 500 tons' to daily freight expected on the Blue Ridge, besides two daily passenger trains. We commend this view of the 9ubjeot to the Pickens Courier, whixe editor finds it more conven'ent to deride us with tho slow progress of our road than meet sulmtantial arguments ngainst his own. ~col n\um7 A writer in the Patriot and Mountaineer, signing himself "Union," denies that Col.

The rcoeut publication* from Jodgo DrumiwnJ u ud others, of iha infamous social doings In the I Mormou Territory of Uuh, have attracted public (| attention,sal enforoed Congressional notice. We h lisvs no ides that polygamy, as such, oonld Indues d goTernmsutnl interference, because too many of our i! legislators sympathise very deeply in similar praoI tiocs, however much tbey oppose the notorious reit cognition of the system. All attempts to destroy J this bass fungus upon our cirilixation must be no' s by indirect?not by direct assault. An iasuc will d grow out of resistance to fuderal officers or federal i- authority. Boms pretext of this character, unknown i, to the publio, has already arisen, se we judge from L the following actlou in the 1 louse of Keprcsentut'ves, d on the 19 th uK: if "Mr. Morrill offered n resolution, which was . adopted, calling on the President to inform the , House whether resistance, organized or otherwise, had been made, or was to bo apprehended, against * the official nuiitoritics of Utah; and to ojmmuni. cate all corres|>uu<U'noe relative to the appointment r or declination of office in the territory since January, 1852; nmi whether the laws thereof urc practi rally administered with impnrtiul justice to all the s inhabitants." The independent course of Judge Drummoud, i in officially charging a jury against the cruue o'* 1 polygamy, has doubtless led to resistance, or throate ened resistance, of hit authority; aud some hope 't may thcrofore bo indulged that thia disgraoeful e state o! things will be chcckod or stopped alto* gcthcr. c Tub Last Moments or Hon.

Commencing public life at an early age. be was n member of the Virginia Legislature io 1804, when bs could scarcely have more than reached man's estate After serving several sessions in the Stotc Log'stature, during whioh lime lie was honored with the position of Speaker of the lloaee, he was elected to Congress from the Richmond District.

Commutation or Sxktkbck.?-We learn that His Exoellcncy Governor Alietou hut commuted to imprisonment fur twelve mouths, and banishment from the State for ten years, the sentence of death lately passed at Fairfield, in this State, upon idling Beam, for negro stealing. The slave stolen belonged to Osmund ltrldwin, and was taken to Columbia and hired out. On tho trial the ground was taken that Beam made no effort to sell the negro, nhhuugh he had ample opportunity so to do, and that he had been absent from the Stale for some months between tho luking and recovery of the slave. We understand that His Excellency wa? Induced to grant the commutation by a petition signed by the owner of the slave, tho jury which tried Beam, and a largo number of the most prominent citizens ol Pnirm-bl. I tie petition act* forth an almost entire lack of capacity on the part of Beam, he being a rery ignorant .ni l simple-minded man. From the chnracter of the parties, it ?eeim doubtful whether Beam stole the slave (a negroes) or was himself her dupe,? Charlttlon Standard.
