Appeai Courts.-The su Cn'auuan %r tnt: 11th inLt. say: " The nrpimeni in the great Bank Case. was closed o Tuesday by Henry ailey, Eg., Attorney General-having no oade by Judge Mlitchell Kin: and J. M. Walker, Esq., on Ih apart of the Banks and Col. C. G. Aleni miser, Col. B. F. Hunt. and the Attorney Gencral, on the part of the State. The dei .ion will not be known, or pirobably moade. for several days, and what it will be is very no certain. It is generally believed that the Bench is eqiually divided. with one exception. and his opinion. wholly unk nown. For the sake of popular confidence in the Judiciaty, as well as the tiecessary siupretnncy of the popatr will, we hope and trtist it will be in favor of the Statef, for that confidence would 'e not a little weakened by :i decision which u onld subiect the people and their government to the dotisinii ol the Banks. and authorize the lat ter to violate their stbligations' of paymen t. at will. regardless of the interests of thie people, or the awis niade by them." To the diferent Temperance Societies in the State of South Carolina.-The expe rience of the past year has santi6fied every one, converwant with Temperance affairs, how much has been. and may be done by concert of action. The semi- aannel meet. ing of the State Socky. in Convention. at Gretiville. last Atgust. brought the advocates of Temperance from the sea board to the mountains, face to fuce.nmade them acquaitted with each other, gave to all settled rules of action. furnished them with tike means ofretnuting prejudice,rid correeling error-and made them acquaii ted with their owt nutlers and si:ength. These results have hid an effect upon lhe wri'l~mmity. which can only lie fully ap preciated by those who had clnsely ob. served the i revi'- couirse of the people t:ri N'eTmperane .ieie To that titne the , ition had been Serce. pro judiced, and unec.. .e. Sintce. it nl lost those characteristics. anl is now no'e nominal than real. Th Tepeaq nice Reform has since spread steadily anl. powerfully, pervading all classes of comn muuity, atnd in a -reat de;ree chactngm:; for the better the social habits of the State: less however has been acomplihbed to wards breaking the charmed circle. whicb srrounds wealth, fashiun ard knowleilge, than in any other class.

Mr. McCafi'ey i mmeaiately dia cove-ed th6 fire breaking oit dt the north corner of the store next th6 street, and - is uncertain whether it origittntij in the store or the cellar, but is confident it mst have been commuicated to tine or the other by an iocendiary, as lie and the inmates of the building had retired to rest about 10 or 11 o'cloct, and were dureful, as usual, in extinguishing all light or lird of any kind.
