LETTER FROM MR. CALHOUN. FeaRT HILL, Aug. 12, 1845. Dear Sir,-I am in the receipt ot your letter, conveying a certifie~d copy of a se ries of resoilutions of your convention, unanimously passed. tpprobatory of the course of the late President and his ad ministration in reference to the annexa tion of Texas, and communicated by its direction. I accept this highly honorable approval of the distitiguished body over which you presided, of the part I performed tovards the conaumation of this great measure, with sincere pleasure and gratitude. rebas it-is one of the most memorable .*vents of our history ; and I am proud to have my nanie associated with it. One of the most striking circumn stances is the unanimity and enthbusiasm with which the people of Texas returned into our great andi glorious Union, in spite of every obstacle thrown in their way, . nd every seduction presented to influs enee their decision. in speaks a volume in favor of their intelligence and patriot ism ; anid is. at the samte time, the high. est eulogy ever pronounced in favor of our free, popular intstitutionis; and will he so felt throughout the civilized world. This high evidence of the de-votion of her sons to the land of their birth, and its in stitutiotns, gives assusanlce that site will - shine as one of the brightest stars ini our brilliatnt constellaiiont. I avail myself of the occasion to tetnder to you n y cocngratulaitionls at the high honor conferred on you by tbe cotiventioni, in selecting you to preside over its delib eratins. It is, indeed, a striking, anid. to me, a gratifying coincideunce, that an old acquainltantce and a tnative of the district I re-sidle in. should be called to preside in the convention w hiich. on the part of Tex as, consoumated this great meaisure, in refetretnce to which, it has been my fortune t o toke not an utudistinguishted part ; and .. that atnother old acquatntance, and taw situdent of mine, atnd native of the same district with myself, should he the chair man and organ of tecommittee by which it was consumated. With great respiect, yours truly, J. C. CA L HOUN. Ge ,**Cn. Taos. J. Rusx, - President of the Convention. - Professor Thzornwell.-lt appears cow to be rendered almost certain that South Caroltina will loose one of her itost dis tingnished sons, in the person of the Rev. J. g.Thornwell. Professor of the Evi dences of Chrirstianity in our College. It will be remembered that during the last summer a unaaimoutts call wxas given him bythe Second Presbyteriani Churcht of Baltimore (formerly uatider the (charge of the Rev. R. J. Breckinridg~e) to accep~t of thispastoral eharge of that Church. In c onformity with the usages of the 'resby -teriani Chuirch, in view of this call, a mecet ing of the Presbytery of Charleston, to which ecclesialtical organization Prof. T. belongs, assembled in thi'i place last even ihgto take the 'matter into consideration. At thlis mnfeeting a request from several in fluential cliizens of Charlestun for Mr. T's services in that city wvas presented, -hut after some discussion, and consulting. -Mr. Thornwell's impressions as to his sense of duty, the Presbytery, we learn, yielded to the raquiest of the Church in .altimnore, and released him from his present ecclesialtical connection. Mr. T'hornwell, however, being a member -of she-Faculty of the South Carolina~ Col -oge will also have to obtain a release from be Tr~atees: of that Institution. This will d bt, be gratnted, however un wvilliog thEy may be to part frotm him, when it is understood that he desires it. rhe annouieenent: of this determination on the part of Irr:Thiornwell wvill be re ceived-wihii ace2i5'eLiny the ,fristids fleaiog aiiih pfiiy allaverdh titte. *~ossi~ an'intelleteof tiied jy. high est orJeg togethter with a corresponum power and felicity-df languAle to detvel ope- it., and adorning his sacred profession with the most exemplary valk and 6on versation, the people: of South Carolina have regarded him with feelings of pride and exultation' as eminently calculijed ic shed additional ;str-o on the intellectual character of his native State. He is de iined, however,_like many others of hei talented children,' to'grace another section of our country. Much as we, personally regret its loss, we think we discover a field of extensive usefulness and fame before him, in the prominent position he will oc cupy in Baltimore, that goes far to recon cile us to it. We therefore cheerfully make the sacrifice, and sincerely pray, tha the blessing of-his Lord and Master ma3 crown his-labors in this new field, and tha health, peace, usefulness and prosperity may attend him.-Columbia Chironicle. HBON. P.

Col. Butler, as is doubtless known to most of our readers, has been for some time acting as the United State! Agent among the Cherokees, and perhapi other tribesorindians west of 'the Missis sippi. in which capacity he performed the most arduous, important, and responsible services, with the most entire acceptance to the Government, aid to the Iudian themselves. We- leatn that the Depart ment at Washington expressed the mos unqualified approbation of Col Butler' administration, and that the Itdiani themselves unanimously petitioned that he might be re-appointed-and yet, thit gentleman has been 'superseded to make % ay for some Presidential pet, or school. hoy favorite !

I have been one of its subjects. I declare to you in all sincerity, that I have never until this. been able to realize the value of life. Your own experience wvill testify I suspect, that you htave enjoyed but raw hours of unalloyed pleasure, (Iu ring your whlole life.

Hardin, Hunt & Co., a firm doing an extensive business in that ttwn, during the pasl year paid about one thousand dollars for advertiing- their goods, and are satitied tat by this outlay, they have received a rich harvest in retturn. We have no doubt of it. There nevet yet was as instance where advertising wa! liberally resorted to, that did not result tc the advantage of the advertiser. Some folks appear to think that because the~ cannot see the money expended for thiu purpose actually running back into theiu pockets, it is like. givinig it away. We pity such rarrow mitded views These people should krnow that the secret of ad vertisinig consists in letting the public know your whereabouts, what you have to sell or wish to buy, &c. Of course this will not make that public patronize you. but it will draw their attention to wards your establishment, end if they call as most probably they will, some of them at least, and find you accommodating and your goods desirable. they will, in nine cases out of ten, make purchases ; where as if you had not advertised, these same people would not have known that there was such a person as yourself in the wvorld Titne was when the antediluvian notiot that advertising was not beneficial had some apology in it, but times have changes and-hle who now expects to mount the ladder .of prosperity anid independence must change with them or be content tc remain at the bot tom.- The surest wa~ in this world to get rich is to'advertise.

The consequence, we presue, wl be, that the Factories will renisin closed 'for the present, aud probably all the -winter. This must produce great want and -mis ery..and have a most disastrous effec upon the.welfare of.the city. The N. 0. Courier of the-,27th uh says:-We learn that the PostlMaster of this place has received from the Philadel phia Mint, -three casks of cents. We learn also that !he Mint in this city has struck f- thirty thousand dollars in dimes and half dimes, by order of the Secretary of the Treasury, for the special uses of our.Post Office and those in the neighbor hood. - The Postmaster here will supply the country officeo with cents, dimes and hall dimes to any reasonable amount.' The object of the Government is to drive all light foreign coins from circula tion. The Spanish quarter;.dollars, for instance, seldom weigh morethan th value of 23 cents, and many of them do not exceed the value of 20 cents.' The Post Master has instructed his Clerka to receive no foreign coin of less denomination than a five frank piece. The extensive circulation of dimes and halfdimes will be a great cnvenience and advantage to the public. - South Carolina College.-The exercises in this institution commenced on Monday last, all the Professors being preset.
