for many yeats st. It is concise and higirly practical in its character; it is, in my humble opinion, exactly what a State papershould be; it is destitute'of that Ia bored prolixity and unncesary details wbich too often characterise s.uch docu n1ibts, it will be re.ad with interest antd pleasure by all. It is mainly devoted to considerations of' State policy, and pro poses to reliove the State from debt dtrn Ithe next seven years. To carry this into operation, it suggests the expediency of subtracting frm the State Bank such amounts as are necessary for its iirittida tion. This -mean; will doubtless be the -exciting and absorbing subject of this Session. The debtors to the Bank who F have enjoyed its special bentrfit%,.til raise a strong influotee agaiust this tnea sure. they ill endeavor to invest this question with the prejudice that it is an attempt prompted by an infineuce to fa vor the private Banks and cry it down as a party move. There can certainly tie n6just reason why there should not he a "iearching investigation into the manage ment of the Batik. It is due to toe u holt country. that some plan should be set on foot to relieve the country from the heavy pressure of debt-astd there never will he a time more favorable than the present, to commence a thorough and radical amend ment in our Sfnatncial-system.. Our State Bank has assuredly been under the man agement of an hottest iand able directory. who have retained desertedly. the confi dence of the people; but under all circum stances it is a matter of the first considera tion, to devise means to relieve the coun try from the onerous exaete'fn upon its resources-that this :an he done in the mode suggested by the Governor is io uts highly probable; and it will give honor to the Executive, and granulation to the coUn try if this can he accomplished. The s recommendations in regard to the Free School system are dee'y interesting, and commend themselves to the serious con sideration of all. It is a subject of un questionable difficuties, :ud pregnant with the most important consequences to the State. The election for Commissioner in Eqi ty, came on to-day, anal on the first bal lotting.S. S. Tompkins was elected by 20 maj'ty. Judge Earle's resigna-ion has been received. and several aspirants are seeking the vacancy: the most prommaent are. Edward Frost, G. W. DarganJ. J. Cald well, N. Whitner and Withers. The various societies (Agricultural. Bible, Temperance.) are holding their conventions here this week. On Satur day evening the Tetmperance Society hold their meeting in the State House, and our worthy friend Dr. H. Burt, is appointed to address the audience. Your's, Correspondent at Columbia. CoLOMBIA. Dec. 2d, 1343. F Mr. Editor:-I arrived here safe. and found as usual, lots of candidates for the diffetent of flees. Were you ever in Columbia. at the commencement of the Session? if so, you can imagine my feelings, when the whole class of office seekers were staring yon in the thee, ready to ask you for your vote-ht by some hoot' or by crook they soon fintad out that I was not a member. and did not manifest that anxiety they seem to feel for my welfare and comfort but a little while I met with all our members, except .Iota. W. Harrison. who has since arrived. and found them polite in aten tion, and in good health (except the Grippe,) and ready for business. There are a great many people here from all parts of the State: more Conventions of one sort or other than we ever heard of h,-fore I tell you what. sir.

I shall therefore, not trouble you with another article, as I expect to leave n a few days. Your's truly, BACK COUNTRY. COLOMBIA, l 1843. Mr. Editor -'I perceive by your last, that you are still wiling to permit ly remarks. (foolish as they may seem to some.) to appear in your columns. I shall confine miyseilf1to tacts. as ne.r as possible, as I still wish you to '"kerp dark," and let the knowing oants conjcture whom they pleese. as being the authir under this Signature, which I have. for nearly half' a cen:nry. :hiimed as belonging chi.fiy to myself. As regards the meetimg of the Legislature there was nothing new, as there was no elec tions for Officers. except that of leasetnger of the IJnse, to fill the vacancy occastttied by th, resignation of Mr. Wmll. Baskins. There wts sunne dlitliculty in electing his successor, (roin the number of candidates, I presume.) :a it took font ballotings. when G. T. Anderson w~ats ie clared to he duly elected. The Senate and House were both very prompt this year, in organizing. nud from appetarances. we will have a business session. Onr Senator. whon I have tnot had the pleasure of seeing since the last Sessioui appears :it least ten years younger. and is its lively as wlieni he and I tripped over the ball room floor. some hye gone yeais. He. no doubt, will do our District goiod service years to comie-he is always at his post. Our members of the House were. I believe, all ims attelndance. My vanity was not a little grati fied at Ii ding th'at one of our Repiesentatives was ippoiired by t lie Speaker, its one if the Comnhttee to wait upon His Excellency the Governor. with the Message that the House was rendy fur bosin'ss. A nuuuber of Petitions,. &c. were presented of minor importance in both hlouses on the t wo first days. but no business of monent done. Tihe following. among a b:ich of Resolutions war.' submitted by lIr. Henry, Resolved. That the Judiciary Committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of' changing the Constitution, so as to limit the tenure of Judge's offices to a certain age. in all cas's hereafter, and that they report accord ingly." By this yon will perceive, that some of the temhers are determimied to have an alteration in the tenure of office of our Judges. This I nut down as the first good wsove. Tuesday was ovenpied iostly in receiving the .esage.and of which I presume, ere this. you have re"ceiv ed a copy, and of the merits of which you can judge for ya-irself. My opinion is, that it has its good and its bad, so that all classes may ctll lu.r themselves. Thm Court of Appeals is in Session, and from the itner of Lawyers present from old Fdgefield, I fear there is too much limgation anong yon; having been exemipt frot law my. self for the last twenty years. I heartily wish that every citizen in my beloved District was the same-but Lawyers must live. Whether they are all here on husiness for their clients, or for themselves, or like tiyself to see and be seen I know not.-perhaps some may be fish. rig for an office-as I understand there isshort. ly to be two ;f not three Judes appointed. one in the place of Judge Earle, who I understand has tesigned. and the other an additional one, and, tunor says. Judge Richardson has some idea of retiring; ifso, they have my hearty wishes. as I always go for Edgefield, and Edgefield alone. Yours, PINET Woons. NEW OmLEAss. Nov. 19. LATEST FROM TEXAS. By the steamship New York, Captain J. T. Wright, from Galveston yesterlay, we have Texas papers to the 13th inst. They are remarkable barren of news of any interest. The great business of the editors seems to be puttieg forth, retract ing. contradicting and asserting very fool ish and very absurd statements touching the Executive of the country, and the pulicy. foreign and domesti, of its Gov ernment. Our political editors in this conntry are certainly an imaginutiive class of men, but your Texian editor is a very political rotnancer.
