EDGEFIELD C. H. VED4ESDAY, MARCrH 10, 1817 Mr. Batter's Speech.-We devote this week a considerable portion of our paper to the ex cellent Speech of the Hon. A. P. BU-LRa, Uited States Senator flom South Carolina, on the "Thaee Million Bill." We call particu tar attention to the argument of Judge B., and his vindication of the right of the South to per fect-equality with the free States. Of one thing we are assured, that when the argument is ox bausted, the South will, at all hazards, assert and maintain her privileges and equal rights with the other portions of the confederacy. The first week of the Court of Common Pleas closed on Saturday last. Some cases of considerable importance were tried, and others were-postponed. On the third of this month W. M. West, who was charged with stealing a negro, was tried, and after a protracted in vestigation of his case, he was acquitted. The Hon. John C. Calhoun, arrived in Char leston, on Saturday last, ont~his way to his res idence. The Palmetto Regiment.-A letter received in this town (says the South Carolinian.,) fr'om Major Gladden, and dated the 9th February, brings information, that three compan es of the Regiment had reached the Island of Lobos, on the 3d ult.; and that three others arrit ed on the 7th ult. under command of Lieut. Col. Dickinson. The four companies which had been left at Mobile, with Lol. Butler, had not arrived, but were hourly expected. The officers and men were in excellent health and spirits, and were anticipating a departure for Vera Cruz, upon which an attack is expect ed to be made on or before the 1st March. A description of the island of Lobos, will be found elsewhere, in the article detailing Gen. Scott's plan for conducting the :campaign. - From last accounts, there were at this island, six companies of the Paba'oetto Regiment, six of the Louisiana, and seven of the Pennsylva nia Regiments. The island of Lobos, or Wolf island, is about one mile in length, and froth a half to three quarters in breadth. It is thickly covered with all kinds of shubberry, and a few trees, among which are the cabbage and lme trees. :It hav ing been hut seldom trodden by the f66t of man, it is filled with snakes,- rats, lizards, and numerous other reptiles. - It is situated an lati tudo 210 26' North, longitude,. 10 8' 45" West of Vera Cruz. On the southwest side of the island is an excellent anchorage, well sheltered from the North, and whgh is reached -without A difficulty. .Itis said that the finest fish are easi ; cegthith'ookltaisline alon -the shbore, , and it night, all that is necessary isto-ttake a long stick and knock twenty or .thirty birds from each tree. It is also said that the boys . have a decided fondnessfor the sport. A4 hasty trip.-In the progressofarshort er cursion which we recently -thatde, we were in the Town of Columbia, 'on the 22d of Februa ry. -This out readers know, is the birth day of Washington. The ainniversary wvas celebrated in an appropriate manner by the mihtary comn panies of the Town. The College Cadets. united with the Governor's Guards, a fine Vo lunaeer corps. an:1 at an early hour, paradled to the sound of martial mnuuic. After .perfornaing a few evolutions, both companies attended by a concourse of citizens and Students, marched to the C ollege Chapel. An oration, in ',nor of the occasion, was delivered by Mr. W!t~rArM.s LoGUE, of Edgefield, and a member of the Se nior Class in College It is s ufficientto say, that the orator acquitted himself in a~~very cre ditable manner. A number of laltes were pre sent, and by their close atteotion, evinced tIbe interest which they felt. Since our last visit, that splendid structure the Episcopal Church has been consecrated, and is now completed This building is of the gothic order of architec ture. It is spacious, and is constructed In a style at once beautiful and imposing. T he wmdow glass are all painted of different colors, and prodgeie a fine effect. The exterior of the Churchhbas,quite a sombre a pearance,well be fitting a gothis buildibg, and 'thae interior is highly beauti( i .1'he altar of is of fine white marble, and. the pulpit, readingdesk, and.chan cel, are finished in a very handsome manner. The furniftire of the Church, and the iichb crim son curtain in the rear of the altar, add great ly to she beautiful appearance of. the inaterior. We will anot ettemyt a more particular descrip tion.and think it scarcely necessary to say, that * we were highly gratifed. We also p-iid a visit to the State House, which manay of our readers know has been improved within a year or-two past, and to Russell's beaautiful garden. Thtis garden, especially in early summer, has num erous beautiful plants and flowers, and those of a rare character. It is well worth a visit to -strangers. ThroughoutColumbia we discov ered evidences of improvement. The College is quite flourishing, and the male and female -ools are generally excellent and deserving of-patronage. The town is healthy, and the society courteous and refined. -In our journey wve were plesed to see, that the crops of oats andwheat in EJgefield and Lexington Districts, were generally flourishing. We were partien larly pleased with-the- neat appearance of the plantations in that portion of our district called the Ridge. This, as many of our readers.know is a highly beautiful section of country, and the improv e'menats are considerable. The farms will well serve as models for other portions of the district. Alabama Unicesity.-Wfe have ieceived from a~ friend whose name is-not known to us, a C~talogue of the.Ofhiceis and Students of the year 1847. This institution is located-at Tus caloosa, and is in a flourishing conditioir. -The whole number of Students amounts to ninety fonr. The Rev. Basil Manly, D. D.;Termerly of South Carolina, is President, $ad Messrs. R. T. Brumby, and Samuel M Stafi-d, also front this State. are among the Professors. The course of instruction is thorough, and (vom the reputation of several of the Professors who are known to us, we believe that the insti tution is well worthy of public patronage. IRISH RELIEF MEETING. On the meeting of the Court of Com mon Pleas anti General Sessions, for this District, His Honor Judge-Richardson pre siding, concluded.his official charge to the Grand Jury, by-presenting, in a very for cible manner, to that body, and through them to the public at large, the present suffering condition of the poor of Ireland. He drew a very graphic and appalling picture of the actual state of starvation which now exists in that country, conse quent upon the almost total failure of the Potatoe Crop, which is the principal arti cle of diet for the Irish poor. Upon a fair computaion one eighth part of the pop ulation of: Ireland would suffer the ago nies of a death by -famine and pestilence, which famine would carry along with it, unless the active benevolence of this and other countries, blessed with abundance, should avert the calamity. Such an ap. peal to them was uucontected with his official duiies, end was not a subject for their legal consideration; butit was a great national calamity, which appealed to the humanity of the world-and he deetrd it not inappropriate to present the subject to them, asn important puBlic body of the District, drawn frota the midst of a. gener ous people. These eloquent suggestions met a res ponse in the heart of our people, and in the afternoon of to day, a public meeting 6f the citizens of the District convened in the Court House, for the purposes of con sidering the present famished condition of the poor of Ireland, and staying, in a mea sure, the appalling progress of starvation. On motion of F.. H. Wardlatw. Esq., the Rev. Dr. Jouasos was called to the Chair, and Benjamin C. Yancey, l-.sq., requested to act as Secretary. The Chairnan briefly explained the object of the meeting, whereupon, at re quest, His Honor, Judge Richardson, ad dressed the audience in a feeling manner. He alluied to the appropriation by Con gress of five hundred thousand dollars; it was well. This was the .gift of the na tion. Our populqtiton was twenty mill ions, and the division of this sum among them by way of taxation was only the small pittance of two and a half cents per head. Distributed among the four mill ions of actual suf'erers in Ireland it would allow but twelve and a half cents per head He referred in a complimentary manner to the handsome. donation of $120 by the school girls, the young ladies of Miss Du -pree's school. in Charleston. The chil dren were even moving in this noble work of charity. The Hiternian Society in Charleston, had sent, in one remittance, a thotsand pounds sterling, and-their nn ble generosity eas ~atill in e'ercise.. No such affliction had fallen upon any people sinceeige days of Jacob, when Egypt was eypurged'bya :de'vastating fa-eine. One million ofhuman beings tnust.i -all prob. ability, perish before t.heir ,c::& provision crop matured. Ireland was entitled to our sympathy and aid. IHer people af forded us more effectual assistance in our revolutionary struggle for independence, thtan those of any other three nations. We cherish with grateful remembrance theeffective service of the French; but they came by the order of the King Louis the 16th. Bnt the peop~le of Ireland were volunteers to fight our battles. for freedom n;:alst their own rulers. It would he a proud satisfactioni that no nation should sr pass us in this noble work of charity and salvation so th8 people of Ireland ! in the past crop ProvidJence had blessed us with abundance, as if the better to enable us to meet this demand upion uur.shumtatnity. -Let each and every individual give of his abrindance or little-remembering, "That he that giveth to the poor, lendeth unto the Lord." Trho Solicitor, Col. John D. Edwards b~einig present, on request, observed though a citizen of another District, -he felt no delicacy in add'ressing the people of Edge field, with whom lhe held professional itn sercourse, for the subject was one of gen eral not local importance. The starving condition of a nation of human beings was an appehl, yea a demand upon the charity .of every individual, of wvhatever clime or country, who possessed a ntiiitd to reflect or a hears to feel. And beyond, all other people,.there were impelling reasons for our extending aitd to the people of-Ireland. In the dark hojir of our distress, in the doubtful struggle of our Colonies to free themselves from the exacting and restric tive policy of Enigland, the people of Ire land gave their sympathies, their armis and their blood to our cause. And the battle ground of the Eutaw and Cowvpens, and many other well-fought fields 'were conse erated by 'heir blood. .Shall we then .hesitate to aid, by our contrihattions ci money. the descendants of a people wvho gave so our cause their lives atnd their blood ! He drewv a graphic and fee~lina picture of scenes now actually occurriua in Ireland-of the child clinging to a mo ther's neck, and endeavoring to draw n trimetot from the exhausted breasts ol famished and dying women. Suflering humanity called. The divine injunction, "Do to others as you wvould have them tc do unto yotu," demanded ottr aid. HeI closed his eloquent appeal by handing tc to the Secretary ffeeen dellars. lion. N. L. Griffn followed in a fews brief remnarks, presenting forcibly the in ducements to. the exercise of charity in the relief of 6. .people, thousands of whom were dying frpm starvation-and conclu ded with a motion that a committe of se von be appointed by the ebair, who should be-charged with collecting andi resnitting contributions. This motion being seconded by Col. 3, P. Carroll, the following gentlemen were named as the committee: Capt. A. P. Addison, Messrs. John Lipscomnb, Edmund Penn; James Sheppard. A braham Jones, Win. A. Harris and Capsu James Dorn. On moton, the Chairman of the Meet In- addition to an abstract of the pro ceeding of this n'eeting,' th'e Secretary has thought proper to give a sketch of the substance of the remarks made, with a view to excite the public mind of the Dis trict to a spirit of enquiry. Information must arouse the better feelings of our na ture, and to bring into an active exercise that 'clarity - which is honorable to the heart, and which is so eminently a Chris tian virtue. It wotld'.bg a gratifying re flection to them hereafter, if each Chris tian Minister in the-District would address to their congregations a sermon upon some such text of the Bible as this, "He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord." W. B. JOHNSON, Chairman. B C. YANCaY, Secretary. March 1, 1837. Correspondence of the Chat eston Courier. tVy.SuiTeOr, March 1. The great mass of the busineass of the present session lies dead, for Saturday was the&last day on which an original bill could -be sent from one House to another. So riuch of the session has been devoted to the subject of the war and the anti-sla very proviso. that many other topics have been necessarily neglected. A number of the administration men sures must fail, to wit: the bill reducing and graduating the price of the public lands ; -he bill imposing duties on tea and and coffee, &c., to aid in the prosecution of the Mexican war: the Lieuter.ant Gen eral.Bill, in the old as well as ire the new form; the bill modif;ing the Sub-Treasury act; the bill creating the office of Assistant Secretary of State; and, probably, the Three Million Bill. There is undoubtedly a combination of parties at this time, in both [3ouses. against the administration. A large and influen tial portion of the democratie members of the House, are opposed'to Mr. Polk's pol icy in many respects, and they have uni ted with the whigs in that body to thwart his measures. Still the tea and coffee failed by a majority of but one vote. The Senate bill for the relief of the.peo ple of Ireland produced some noise and confusion in the House. A motion to lay it on the table was lost, 82 to 75. No debate was allowed upon it. Finally it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means-a very proper Committee, at this time, when ways are easy and the public means scanty. The friends of the bill considered this vote as giving the go by to the whole thing. But an attempt is to be made to get up the subject, in such a forte, at least as to procure a test vote upon it. The Three Million Bill was discussed v Air. J. Al. Clayton, and Air. Pearce of Md., both against the bitt. . Mir. Butler, ofS. C., made a very ani mated and eloquent reply to Mr, Dix, and resisted his assumptions. Mr. Upham then offered the Wilmot proviso, as an amendment to the bill. Mr. U. said he had offered the amendment in pursuance ..f instructions from the Legis lature of-Vermont. Air. Cass spoke in opposition to the proviso, as ill-timed and mischievous, and of a sectional character.-,. The debate was continued till half past one o'clock, by Mr. Cass., Mr. Dickinson and;Air. R: Johnson, against the proviso: When the proviso was rejected-yeas 21, nays 31. Mr. Webster and Mr, Areher then spoke against the acquisiuion of any territory, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, yeas 29, nays 24, Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Butler voting aye. The bill was then passed. Mrh2 This has been another very remnark able day in Congress-remarkable for tiie dis play of Mr. Benton's ferocious hostility to Mr. Calhoun. TIhme sceite that we had was a continuation of the Beoton assault of the last week on -Mr. Cathon. The H-ouse has been eunaed ~to niiht in a vain attempt to pass the three millon bill. It tmay pass to-morrow, but will not to. night. P. S.-The House adjourned without being a ble to take up the Three Million Bill. A djournment of Congrsss.-As we write (5 o'clock) Congress is rapidly approach ing the moment of its dissolution. We presume the President is about repairing to the Capitol to sign bills, and -that the two houses will 'adjourn about 12 o'clock. What measures will finally pass -or he rejected, the next few hours will tell. But one great measure is now hut beyond the reach of fate. The three million bill has passed, and happy we are to add, stripped of the Wilmot proviso. Last' night the w'higs made a desperate effort to defeat il altogether by going into Committee of the Whole, and when a count .was cal led re fusing, m.any of them, to pass between the tellers. -Thus, no quorum appearing, they had to go brtck into the House, sod 1hen motions were made, for its adjournent. This idle and ridiculous, process was re pented reveral timies--and then despairing to do anything, and hoping for .betteu things in the morning, the HIoutse adjourn ed, on mnotionuof Mr. Boyd, of Kentucky. This morning the bill was taken up and we congratulate the country that il has passed. T1he WVilmot proviso was rejected 'by a majority 5, and then the whole hill passed by a majority of about 30.- Wash. Union, March,- 3. The Vice President retired from thme chair of tho .Senate to-night about 1( o'clock, sv.hen A.ir. Atchinson (a senatom from Missouri) was appointed to the chair. Botb houses: of Congress adjourned to, night aboist 12 o'clock-a very interesming session, whbich we shall review hereafter. Meantime, we may say it has generall) gone off well. The modifications of the independen1 treasury-law were defeated by the parti nacious obstinacy of Mr. Badger in refu sing to have the bill read twice on the samei day; -so thiat whatever losses are sustained, may he fairly attributed to his interposition.-lbid.
