Fire.-We regret to learn, that the valuable
Grist Mill belonging to Mr. B. Tillman, about
three miles distant from our village. was entire
ly-consumed by fire, on Thursday night last,
between 10 and 12 o-clock. Upwards of sixty
bnshels of Corn and Meal were burned 'Witlh
the Mill. The loss wiil be severely felt both bf
the owner and the villagers, as many of the
latter were, in a good degree, deperndant on
this will for their supply of meal.
Sudden Death.-We have been info.mcd,
that on the 3rd inst., Mrs. U-ITY CLOUD, an old
resident of our District, whilst engaged about
her domestic af'airs, fell senseless as she entered
her bonse,and died in about an hour afterwards.
Mtrs. C. was nearly 100 years old. She has left
a large and respectable circle of friends and
relatives to mourn her loss. 'In the midst of
life, we are in death."
Frost.-On Tuesday morning, the ground
was covered with the heaviest frost which we
have seen this season.
Election of Governor.-On Saturdny last,
the. Hon. Wm. Aixus, was elected Governor of
South Carolina, by a large majority.
Diovers take Notice.-The present dool wea
ther being favorable for curing Pork, a consid
erable number of Western hogs coiild be sold
at this time, in our village, for a fair price.
The following gentlemen were on the

F. H. Elmore, F. W. Pickens,

LETTER OF Gov. HAnnoi.-Outr readers
will find in to-day's paper the letter of His Ex

Memorial from the Free Church of Glasgow.
Scotirand, in behalf of John L. Brown, who was
convicted in Fairfield Distriet, of aiding aslave
to escape from her owner, and was sentenced
to behung in April last. - The lette of Gov.
* Hammond-is an exceedingly clear and able de
fence of the course which our Courts thought
propertopursne,with regardto this man Brow'n,
and of the'institution of Slavery. as it exists in
the South. .. .
It is written-in a calm, dispassionate maanner,
and would undoubtedly carry-conviction to the
minds of all but the most bigoted-and intoler,
ant Abolitionists. Whilst- on the subjec t, we
will take soccasion to refer to a recent letter of
the Rev.i MrP Fulleri 'aclerjymua reaiding in

With regard to the United States Treasury
he says, its greatly improved condition afford:
a subject of general congiatulation. "An es

dollars, over and above the existing appropri

of the fiscal yeaz." He say., that "the curen
cy of the country has attained a state of perfec
soundae-s, and the rates of exchange betweet
diffetent parts of the Union are now reducec
to little more than the mere cxpense of trans
porting them from place to place, and the risl
incident to the operation." The danger of toc
large a surplusof public money is pointed out
and a modification of the Tariff is recommen
ded. With regard to the General Post Office
the President says, "the affairs of this Depart
ment for the last four years, have been so con
ducted as from its unaided resources, to mee
its large expenditures. On the 4th of 1arel
next it will be found under the management o
the present efficient head. fred of debt and em
barrassment." The President recommends thi
establishment of a line of Steam Ships regn
larly to ply between this country and foreigi
ports, and upon our own waters, for the trans
portation of the mail. Those lie says conk
be so constructed as to be efficient as war ves
sels when needed. and would, of themselves
constit'te a formidable force, in order to repe

the principal points touched upon in the Mes

generally in a prosperous condition. It onlj
remains for us to say. that the tone of the les

DEAR Sin: At length I am able. in somi
degree, to comply with your request, to inforna
you from time to time of the proceedings 01
the Legislature, and the on dits hero. The
first few days of the session were consumed ii
organizing the House, by the enrollment ofit
members-the election of officers. the appoint.
ment of Committees, &c The Hon. W. F.
Colcock was re-elerted Speaker, without op
position--than which a better selection could
not have been made. He is a most mannerly
gentleman-firm. dignified and courteous. O1
Tuesday the first message from his Excellency
the Governor, to the present Legislaitre, wam
eceived. upon a portion of which a divisior
arose as to its disposal-whether by reference
to a Committee of the Whole orto the Commit
tee on Federal Relations. The mes age I have
sent you, and pronounce it the most terse, log,
ical and statesman-like document issued by
any Governor within my recollection. Whe
ther it be judicious at this particular juncture
or not isa different matter. During its reading
the rumblings of a coming storm became per
ceptible,.and at its close there was a rapid sue
cession of keen and angry flashes of oratorical
lightning. The House is divided, not into two,
but into many parties, al professing a desire
to extend that cout tesy to-.th.Executive which
is due to every department or our govern
ment,and each disagreeing as to what course it
most respectful After much debate the nes.
sage was referred to a Committee of the Whole
and made the special order of the day on Fri
day-Mr Pickney in the Chair. In a com
mittee of the whole, you know that every mom
her has the privilege of speaking juast as ofter
and as long, and about as desultorily as he
pleases, and you may rest assured that ever)i
indulgence of the prerogative is exercised tc
its fullest extent. The chief division in the
House is created by the conjectured effect tha
the message will have upon our relations witi
the Democratic Party of the Union. One sida
maintaining that since we consented to act ii
concert with that party-accepted the nomina
tion of Mr. Polk, and will have assisted in elec
ting him as the exponent of our principles. wi
should do no act that may disturb the harmong
of the party until some cause is given, ant
certainly not condemn the gaits of the horsi
until we have mounted him. That if-the met
sage go forth to the world with its temper inni
degree corrected, that South Carolina wil
b e found in the silly position of contributing ti
elect a President, and then quarrelling witi
him before he has taken his seat, and that mhi
tone of the allusion to the Democratic partyi
unbtecoming in us who constitute a portion c
it. The others say, that the principles and doc
trines contained in the message are truly thos
of Carolitna, solemnly proclaimed t '3'2.and de
lineratelyireiterated in 42, that S. Carolina mum
never descend from the high arnd commandin,
attitude she has assumed-that they are unwi
Itug to recede one inch from, the position alh
has occupied in the face ot the world during th
last.ten yoars, and that any of the resolution
proposed, wIch are called pacific, vuill hztv
the effect to dislodge and degrade her. C
cotarse there are different degrees of modert
ien or violence in the ranks ofec as yon i
perceive by the different resoluations that havy
been offered. For myselfI can agree in ever;
particular with neither party in thesense eaci
as understood by- the other ;and I will do botl
the justice'to say, that I believe neither to he a
tame or astiolent-as-the othier suspects. Influ

of its nonaiaee, as the truthful. representative e

of our State. 1 consider han pledged tsneart

generally have been, and not unite the pecu.
har'linportance, with which this has been inves
ted-had it referred without debate, and as a
matier of course to tie usual committee, or
had that portion which is thought by some ob
jectionaable quietly laid on the table. By the
,latter course-the State would be left free-to ac!
hwien ~imergency occurred, and by the first
adoption of the message by the House would
have been considered but as courtesy to the
Executive. It would have gone forth but as
the opinion of tlie Governor of South Carolina,
for which the State was in no degree responsi
ble. . Even.had it created that panic amongst
our Democratic brethren, which: seems so
imuch to be apprehended, the Presidential vote
of the State, which has not yet been given,
would have re assured them. Had disaffection
on the part of the State been suspected. the sus
picion would not only have been removed, but
greater confidence created, by the fart, that
sentiments touching our must vitil interests
proceeding from as high a source and officially
biotightto the views of the LegislaMre of the
State. were given the "co by." Either course
would have been appreciated as ajtibute tn
the Democratic cause, and the State understood
as occupying her old ground, and awaiting fu.
tnre devenopments. Our true position to the
Demociatic party is to work harmoniously
with it so- long as it acts with honesty anti f.
delity towards us-with the distinct understand
ing that our Itrinciples' are written. to be ex
tenu-ited or varied in' the slightest particular.
The me-sage softened by the resolutions passed
unanimously by the Sennte, to my ,vision,
seems to place its precisely where we ought
to stand. I very much fear. however, that the
tamely pacific and almost cringing resoluttons,
that have been offered to the House, (which in
all probability will appear in the Whig prints,
and may be construed as evidence of unsound
ness, certainly of much division,) may' con
strain us to adopt oliers more stringent thac
prudence would otherwise have suggested.
The debate will be interrupted by the Col
lege commencement, but will be resumed or
Tuesday. When it is concluded, youshall
hear from me again.
The Committee on the Judiciary have re,
ported unfavorably to an increase of the pow
ers of the. Ordinary
