4saouo.oua CaRF.sroDExT.) COLUSBJA. December 19. The last week of the session was- one-of considerable interest. There was a great deal of discussina by members of both Houses, up on their favorite projecti and upon bills which they were exceedingly anxious to have passed, oridcfeated. I heard much earnest, and not uanfregnently, very alsedehate.by leading men ofthe Senate and Honse of Representatives. In the House, almost every day, there was a sort of gladiatorial display between Ar. Hunt and Msimminger, Delegates from Charleston, upon the various measures before the Legisla ture. Other gentlemen, some of whom were possessed ofconsiderable ability, also entered the rWt and foughi manuf!nlly. The'Judiciary Bill of Dlr. ,Hunt, and Mr. Memiiiingcr's Report upon reducing the Bank ingeapitalofhlse Bank of the State, furnished themes for much exciting discusssion. No de cisiveaction was taken upon these matters. Atleast. these. great questions were notfinally settled.: The Brigade Encampment system, af ter much debate, in the [louse. is abolished. The viriois Bills giving the election of Elec tors of the President of the United States, to the people was postponed. This question will be brought up again. Several Bills of impor tance have been rejected, but I do not know, that the State will suffer much in consequence ofjthis. -Aa amendment, of the Charter of the Town of Edgefield, has been obtained. The Counci! hereafter, will have the power ofgranting li censes to' Tavern keepers, and others, to retail spirituousliqor. The Legislature has- refused to give aid to the dilerent Rtail Road projects in the State, by giving Rail. Road companies, the use of any surplus capital which the State may now possess. On Friday night the 10th inst., both Houses met, and after ratifying thirty-nin (39) acts. finally adjourned. Nearly sill the strangers have disappeared. and the strcets no lunger present that appear once ofanination, which they did during the session. Several cosn panies of Volunteers for Mexico have passed thronrh the place, and two are sna in Columbia. Two very fine De guerreotype painters, Mr. Zealy, and Mr. Ed onard. I have visited their stulios. and have never seen any thing eqpaal to their exhibitions. There has also been a Mesmerizer here, who has been astonishing every body with his wonderful experiments. - In a little time, all these too, will disappear, and the citizens of this place will be left to thenseles. Excn-e this rambliing epistle, I can say no snore. as the mail will soon close. .For the Advertiser. R.EVQLUTIONARY, I NCDENT.. Many interesting incidents of our Revo lutionary "stsrugrle, have been st0ired to pass.into oblivion, -hecause no one would take the trouble to collect and give to them an eduring-frm. by leaving them record ed, while traditiotiy memory furnished the meas: Teliogh this neglect is uujnst, at lticee h proceed to record the suustance of an interesting in. cident, in,the life of Col.

This incident. in the early life of Col. Brooks, was furnished by Judge Butler to the author of a series of articles, which appeared in successive numbers r f the Southern Literary -Messenger, reviewing the life of the Cunningham's of South Carolina. but which, for reasons known, only to the reviewer has been'oppressed in his publication. Reference having been made to it by Col. Pickens in his public address, we have deemed it proper to endeavor to scatch it from oblivion, and to give it to the public. in a form as durable as a newspa per publication can allord, with a hope that if the Reviewer above alluded to, should resume his labor in the same line, that he will not pass in silence so interest ing an incident in the life of as just, useful and patriotic a citizen as the State can boast. - LIST OF ACTS Passed by the Legislature of South Caro lina. at its General Seesion.for the year 1846 Acts Originating in the House of Repre sentatives. 1.

An extra from the office of the'Wilming ton Chronicle, dated Friday, December 181h, 12 o'clock, A. M., conveys the fol lowing intelligence of the loss of the whole of the Mail made up at Charleston, on Wednesday last. "The steamer Gladiator. Capt. Smith, which left here yesterday for Charleston, but without proceeding any farther than across the main has. lar just returned with the steamer Vanderbilt in low. From Capt. Potter, of the Vanderbilt. we learn the following particulars. "The V. came out of Charleston at her usual hour on Wednesday, about 3 P. M. At 10, oiff'Georgetown, the wind in which had been blowing for some time heavy gusts, set into a furious gale from the East. accompanied with some rain,' At about 11 o'clock the steamer was thrown upon her beam ends. After a while she righted, not having been essen tially damaged. At 2 on Thursday morn ing she was again thrown on her beam ends, her rudder much crippled, both wheel houses nearly demolished, the Mail apartment broken open, and all the Mails from the South taken in at Charleston, together with the Charleston Mail, swept into the ocean. The main most was cut away-the steamer righted again in a short time, and not having had her machinery injured, proceeded on her way, the wind continuing to blow tremendously as it did, until about 12 o'clock on Thursday. ' By great skill and jtdgment, Capt. Potter worked the Steamer along forr forty rriles. brought her up to the main bar, thence she was towed to town by the Gladiator. The passengers who were on board bestow the very highest encomiums on the Vanderbilt, as also on the maunge. ment of Captain Potter, the officers and crew, in the awful conflict with the ele meals." Judge Butler, U. S. Senator from South Carolina, was a- passenger on board the Vanderbilt. By a General Order from the Executive Department of the State of North Caro lina, we perceive that several of the Vol. unteer companies have dclined to con ply with the new terms prescribed, rouse quently another call is made upon the military of that State for Volunteers.
