Political .llatlers. First in importance, is the Irish diincttl ties. It is said to be altogether a local of fair, and confimed to Clunmel and Carrick. The insurgents are said to be in the mountains in considerable numbers, and have formed themselvesinto guerilla par - ties. They had surrounded Carrick, and great fears were entertained that an at tack on that place would be made. but they finally dispersed without making any de inonstration. A large force of English troops had been sent in pursuit of the .mountaineers who had handed themselves together. with the determination of captu ring or dispersing them, which. from all appearances. will he the eventual result. Smith O'Brien was to he taken to Clon mcl for trial, and a strong guard was de tailed to convey him to that place. with the view of preventing any attempt at rescue. The Rebellion had not progressed to any extent since last accounts. France.-It is stated that Gt"neral Ca vaignac is gradually decliin in populari ty, and prognostications of an early fall from his high station are fteely nade. This does not surprise us, as i pe-ple that have been struggling so boldly to throw off monarchical shackle<, are not likely to remain quiescent under strict military rule.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA AT BOSTON. - -.At 45 minutes past twelve o'clock yes. terday afternoon, we received from the telegraph oflice the i'titrmatiot that the British steamer Cambria had arrived at Boston. 1er day of sailing was the 23d ultitno. -In the course of the evening a despatch from our correspondent gave us a synopsis of the news she brings, which we insert below.

Business generally was consequently limi ted in the- manufacturing districts of that country, and the factories were in most ca e see working at short time. Cotton.was inactive.

The ~iitfornmat ion from ' .-.tiisside of, the water, htowever, of large * shipments expected, was calculated to check the tendency to any advance in prices. Corn is quoted at 35 to 37; Meal, 19; Plour 32 to 33s. 6.. Wheat 8 to 9. The duty otn Wheat was 4d. and on f'loor 2 to 2s. 6d. The despateh mentions that the 'weather was favurable for harves.ting. Political Maiters. -- The Irish itusurgents itill foil all efforts on the part of the British soldiery antd po * lice to capture or disperse them, or suppress the rebellion.

Fears were entertained that a military conspiracy might again convulse the country. The great body of the peo pIe retained their con fidence in General Cavaignac's hones'y and patriotism. but there was no divinitng what sudden move meat might take place. Italy.-Thie hostilities in Northern Italy were suspended, on accnot of the French mediation.

The Cotton market was in an unsettledi sta'ce-huyers detmandled a reduction of pri% ces, but our d"spatchu does not state whbeth er transactions proved that their demands were assented to or not. .The New Y'rk .Jourtnal of Commerce states that the Secretary of the Treasury has agreed to purchase Treasury Notes to the amounit ouf 8800,000 at par, the sellers agreeing to take them back 'again, when ever called,.upon.

General Cavaignac according to some accounts is losing popularity somewhat. It is difficult at present, to say what particular form of government will ultimately prevail.

In Charleston there is a smtall squad of dissatisfied men called Taylor Democrats, wvho ende.avoreo to make it appear, that they woutld or could direct the vote of the State. Never were men inore deceived. This little nest of politicians do tnot constitute South Carolina. The day is past. forever, when any portion of Charleston or the entire city, can con trol the rest or the State. The sceptre has de parted fromt them and they moust learn that there are~ persons in oilher sections of South CarolIna et~.aly iintell'get,t as influential, and as patri otic us themselves. The people of the upper part of thme State do not lookc to them for their opinions. Trhecy respect themu as eguals but am nothing more. The Taylor Democrats of Chiarleson.-T he fate of these men is hard indeed. Our readers will remembner, that they were treated with very little cetenmony by General Taylor in his last Allison Letter. Hie plainly says that they went over to himn-tnot he to them. lie mays with all the blnntness of a soldie r, that he will not abate one jot or title of hii political principles for their sake. 'Vith his Wfhig notions, thry professed, Democrats may sup port him if they think proper. Hie does not seem tn care much, whether they do so or not. To add to their mortification, some of the old General's Whig friends in other quarters, treat them with as little respiect, as he does. See Col Hlaskill's remarks at a Whig meeting. We have given our readers an extract. But their cup of suffering was not yet full. Some Whliis of Charleston. it seems, disown them. They will not fraternize with them. We sup pose, because they dropped Fillmore and put Bntler upon their t icket. They have been signally rebuked int nearly all qttarters of this State. But they will still make a great noise, and will die hard. Reasons for supporting General TablOr - Some of the papers recently gave 16 rea sons for sumpporting General Taylor. According to the calculations of some of his friends, there re at least 282 reasons for supporting him at tIe South. He owns it is said about 282 egroes. We believe that this alone, is blought by some in this State, to be sufficient round for making him President.

Ma EDITOR: Public attention seems recently to have been diredt d'with some degree of anxiety to ;l>l ,who is to be the successor of our et venerable Chief Magistrate. It 'pier that the State should give its e8s' :atention to this subject. The.next vworyeara will be a -period in the history'of South Carolina, marked; perhaps, by eyeits ot' much more than ordinary character; ,.ur;rights have been openly threatened,:and;will be as sailed. The State.may efcalled upon to repel, in such way as she*finP deem best, the attempts of her-.confederates in this Union to degrade and insult her, and she ought to look to tle isusad be prepared to meet it.. -lu. such a eriod, no one can rail to see that much dep iis upon the in telligence, firmness, andL pauiutism of her Chief Magistrate, I propose, in this arti 1o. present the name of a gentleman for this office whose position and qualiacati?in would, at ihis time. render his electinemiaently proper. I allude to the Hon. F.W. Piekens. Mr. Pickens is a native of thi Stite ; and, fol lowing the lessons tauglWhiis an illus trious ancestry, has "evorgJeen signally devoted to the interests and-honor of South Carolina. When the Siale was called upon to resist the aggressions o'Federal power in 1832, no young man gyithin her limits brought to her support a more_ prompt and efficient aid.. Shortly afterwards he site ceeded Mr. McDuffie in the. Congress of the United States; -and,.although at the time a youthful Representative;'ha at once assumed a position for talent fand influence rarely equalled in one ofy-hii age. After serving in Congress .many years, he vol untarily retired, stronglyentrenched in the affections of the people wbose rights had been fearlessly and a- maintaind by him, and from whom ie eve eicountered opposition. Since l'is retiierient he has declined one of the -highest'appointments in the gift of- our Federal Executive, for the reason that whilst the grave questions which have for years agitated the country, and in which the Sonthsas such vital in terest, remain unsettled, his services and allegiance are first due to South Carolina. Mr. Pickens is generally known through. out the Union as a prominent statesman of the Den,ocratic party,_ and it .is believed that few men in the State are in a position now to exercise a more favorable influence throughout the Southern States, in bring ing about that union and-concert of action which are so necessary ro the preservation of Southern- InstitutionsIJf' elevated to this high office, of one thii'-he State may be certain, that in his 'hands, her honor will be untarnished,'dad her rights pre served and vindicated, soeofar is - devoted patriotism and eminent ability can render them secure. This emuftunication- ex presses the feeliags an&'4'ii ons of many intelligent and patrioti ettizes in a large portion of the State.

Atrocious uMurder!-We are called u p on in chronicle one of the most heart-ren ditig and soul-siekening occurrences that falls to the lot of us frail mortals. Majo.r Adam S. Camp of our village, was killed on Thursday evening last. by a man called Joseph Glon, and under the following cir eumstantces, so far as we can obtain them. Glenn had been, and wras at the time of the murder, in the employ of Major Camp. as Overseer on his farm, some seven miles south of Spartanhurg, Court House, near the Gleen Springs road. Major Camp with his wvife and little daughter had been spending some time 'at the Springs, and were on their way home in company with several ladies of our village, and his broth.. er Mr. Win. Camp, and family. When the company arrived near ihb farm, Major Camp requested them to wait, as he desi red to ride over to his place to -give some directions to his negroes, which he did by get ting on his wife's horse and side saddle. Wnen he arrived at or near the house of his Overseer lie stopt, and whilst giving some directions to his old negro man, at the same ime sitting on the horse, was shot in the upper pert of the breast, wvith two balls from a rifle ia the hands of said Jo seph Glean, who had concealed himself in a crib some thirty yards distant. for the dia bolical purpose. Major Camp fell dead in a moment, and as the old aegro man star ted to inform the company hard by of what was dotne, Glenn fired a musket with 19 bitck shot at him, theingh without effect. So soon as the distresising circumstances took place and the'murderer had gled, there gathered around ihe lamented one, his lit. tie family and friends, who'e anguish and distress can better be imagined uhan de scribed. He was brought immediately to the residence of Colonel Harris of our town, who is. the father..in-law of Major Camp, at whbich place. on. the following day, his funeral services twere performed by the Rev. J. G. Landrum, and his re mains were consigned to their last resting place in the grave yard at this place. The murderer Was pnraued immediately after he committed-the deed by the proper au thorities, and the voluntary service of oth er gentlemen. He however gave himself up the next morning, andfs now in the jail f this TDistrirct naraitinc his trial. Tn the death of M'ajor damp, our coi munity his lost one of its most useful citi zens.

We are pleased to notice the stream of Gas-light which is running throughout the length of King-street. and soon to he ex tended from South Bay to the Lines. We learn that the Commissioners of Cross Roads have centracted with the G:aq Light Company on terms the -ames those con cluded with the City Authorities, for the continuance of the Gas-pipes from Van derhorst st., the terminus of the City con ,raci, to the Lines. The Neck Guard House is also to he lighted with gas. The stores in the vicinity of Boundary-street on either side of King. in regutar succes sion for some distance, have availed them selves of this improvement, and the temp ting brilliance in which their goods are dis played evinces the enlightened policy of their proprietors.

SIGNING OF 'TH E OREGON BILL. The charge is flippantly made by the Whiga that te President htas given his sanction to the Wilmnot Proviso, by signming the Oregon Bill-thtt the Democrats should, therefore, be silencead by tis dis tinguished example, and cease their as atlts on the Whig party for making the Wilmot Proviso a leading Whig measure, to be carried into ell'ect in the event of G3en. Taylor's election. Now, tisi charge is sophistical and untrue. Mr, Polk did sign to the Oregon Bill, after the most strenuous efforts of the South. aidecd by a faithful few Northern Democrats. to ptace in it recognition of the iisouri Compro mise atd on that ground justify the exclu sion of slavery fromn Oregon. The Nor thern Whigs in a body, insisted on the exclusion standing as it was-they refused unanimnoutly, to repudiate the enactment excltuding slavery, and also refused to re cognize the Missouri Compromise. This Com~promise has been recognized in the annexation of Texas to the Uttion, anal it was consitderedl by many Southern states men, a.s impolitic for the South to be the first to refuse to stand by the principles of that compromise. Mr. Polk distinctly an nounces as the reason why -he dlid not refuse to sanction the bill, that it was not incon sistent with that comnpromise. But what is this exclusisn of slavery. and at whose instance was it adopted ? it is the incorporation of the ordlinantce of 1787 into thme fundamental law of Oregon, and it was placed there on the motion oaf the Hion. Robert C. WVinthropt,of Massa chusetts-the present Whig Speaker of the House-placed in that office by the aid of Southern Whig votes. It is his pride and his boast, that he originated this proviso as applied to the Oregon Bill. It was his thunder that was stolen by Wil mot. Mr. WVebster also claims the thtun der for himself, antd complains that it was stolen from him. But we will not discuss here the priority of claims- We propose simply to call attention to the fact that this signature, by Mr. Polk. of the Oregon Bill, was a signature to the Wir.throp Pro~ viso, as it should tie called-not the Wilmot Proviso. The Winthrop Proviso prohibit ed the introduction of slavery into Oregon. This was a nteedless, a gratuitous insult fung in the face of the South. It could he of nto practical effect, for no one ever dreamed, for a moment, thtat slavery would, ever be introduced among the snows and ice of Oregon. its ohject was a repudiation, in advance, of the Missouri Compromise principle, and for that reason was resisted by the South and her North. era'-Demoerotic friends, and, for a time, with success. Hum it was' finally carried. Mr. Polk, in signing tho bill, reiterates hi 1approbation of An.'issu "omi.romibc, and pledges hiinself to.vote.any bill which is violative of that compromise-a com promise made undcr very solemn circum stances, and agpin solemnly recognized in the admission of Texas. The Winthrop Proviso applied to terri tories already the property of the United States, all of which lay north-three hun dred miles north of the compromise line. The Wilmot Proviso seeks to exclude slavery from all territories acquired, or to be acquired, by conquest, . treaty or otherwise, whether those territories lie north or south of that line. This policy is the settled, and avowed policy of the Whig party north, and it is the policy which they calculate to carry out if they can succeed in electing Gen. Taylor to the Presidency. If Gen. Cass is elected, the weight of his influence will all be thrown in the scale of the Missouri Compromise, and the scheme of the Northern Whigs willf be defeated. It is a question between the two, of the future admission of slave States into the Uinion. The Taylor party oppose the further extension of the area of slavery, and the future admission of slave States. The Cass party will not oppose the further extension of slavery sotth of the Missouri Compromise line, or object to the admis sion of slave States south, of that line. On which side will the South array herself. Every indication is in favor of her being found voting and acting, heart and hand, wirh the Cass and Butler party of the Union. Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Properly fQuestion. -The Bishops and Cottistuners of the Southern divis ion of the Methodist Episcopal Church. at a meeting held at Louisville, Ky., oa the 9th of September, passed the follow ing resolttion: Resolved. That it is expedient and ne" cessary, in view of the rights and interests in controversy, that the necessary suits Ie instituted as soon as practicable, for the recovery of the funds -and property falling due to the Methodist Episcopal Churco, South, under the contract of the plan of separation, adopted by the General Cou ference of 1844. The reasons which the Episcopacy and the Commissioners assign for this course are, itt substance, that for the Church South to agree to the arbitration proposed, would be to admit the-invalidity of the "plan of separation," thai .they have waited since the General Conference, nearly (ou months, -without -having received any proposition from the thurch,- No--th;" that several of the Northern Annual Con ferences have met and adjourned, without conferring upon the General Couference the necessary constitutional authority to arbitrate; that superanuated Ministere in the Church South. their wives;-and many widows and children, are sug'ering from the long delay-of payments'they were en* titled .to; that-due notice was given'in May last that.the presetit resitlve;could uit' he :delayedlontger .th,an .Septineber;'-and' ually,..that.any,.other course:t n t now determined. upon.,,would n jeopardy "rigits od:claimazp aously ab^ toitted and provided..for: -bi , Tribute to Genius.-T e sia has presen'edi thrrotrgh. his-niin .~rv Washington, to, .-J.

The number of dead spindles otn No. 20 yarn. r-qiuirod to cotnsume this cotton will be 2,678,.57. As these goods will average about four pounds to the yard, 180.000.000 pounds of Cotton, will give 720.000.000 yards of Cot on., or 36 yards toeach of thte 20.000, 000 of itnhabitatnts. Each spindle costs 325. marking the capital employed, p66, 964.275." The Charleston Evening News to the above adtds the following:.
