Tnc Subscriber, 1eing compelled, by other duties, to sever his connexion with the Advertiser, takes this method of bidding his elder Associate, Publisher, Prin. ters, Readers and Cotemporaries a kind " Farewell." JOIIN -E. BACON. Dec. 28, 1852. SONETHING ABO!T OUR PAPER. I- is perhaps unnecessary to apologize for giving our maders'only a half-sheet this week. Every cone will reemember that it is Christmas, and will consider that printers and editors, as "hard up" as they are all the rest of the year, must have a little leisure and sport during these mdern Saturnlia, as well as nig gere and the restit of mankind. We have all accord ingly taken our ielare- and now return to another round of lhard work, with a determmation to please every body, if tltething be possible. Although, to say the truth, we very much fear we shall have great dif ficulty in doing so. For tirere's little Miss Watch Wedding, who will pronounce our paper terribly dull unless we have from two to a dozen narriage notices a week. And there's Mrs. Doleful, who will he simi larly disgusted unless the obituary department is regu larly well filled. And there's Jack Wonder, whio will say tle Advertiser is hot worth a straw, if detoiel Of," Great Inventions," "3Ivsterions affiyirs," and all that sort of thing. There also is Timothy Critic, who will find one' article too stif and elaborate, an. other too loosely worded and langish, a third out of uste, and a fourth altogether a ftilure. And there's old Squire Mlean-'leart, whose unnatural craving to gloat over the misfortunes and imprudences of others is tever .satisfied with any thing short of a half coltimn of. Sherifr-s Sales, or an Assignment or two for the benefit of creditors, or some other such indica' tion of-human-distress. And there too is thee senti inental.Miss Heigh-Ho, who can make no .ullowatnce for the occasional absence of a loVe-adventure. And there's Farmer Gruff, who wishes, with an oath, that we would leave gut all such stufy 'And there's old Mrs. Carefid who is conetiderably put out and doubts whether she is getting value received for her two dollar bill, if she fails to find every week one or more valuable recipes.-But we have pursued the subject far enough. We repe't that we intend, leencefor ward, to please everybody, or. to be feund trying our at it. And so, all hands to work! to work! 1 at tloor.

Thley leave our heartiest wishes for their success aned heappineess in life. Let us not forget to return our thanks to the fair bride for the abundant supply of delicious cake, wheichs she was kind eneough to have placed upon our table. NEW YORK ADVERTISEMENTd, Wv. have received an Advertisement from thme firm of C. B. Ha-rCn & Co., of New York City, wheich we decline publishing in conformity with a rule we leave laid down for our futuere guidance in such cases. That rule is, never to peublIsh Advertisements from bey'ond the limits of our State, (except from the neigh. borineg city of Augusta,) unless they are accompanied with the cash. A departure from theis rule heas occa siened a loss to our pockets wheicht is by no means compensated by the mere name of publishing for City Houses. DEGREE CONFERRED., By the Episcopal Recorder of the 4th inst., we learn that the heonorary degree of Doctor of Divinity -was conferred upon thte Rev. JosEPH-s R. WALKER, of Beauifort, S.

"e Few Clergymen," says thme Recorder, " can re ceive marks aof honor with less risk that our excellen and esteemed Brother of the Palmetto State." CHRISTMAS IS COME---AND GONE. IT came, in cloudy mood, with gloomy brow ant dripping robes, and Po it went. It came, sultry am stupid, and left in the same condition. Upon the whole, it has proved to be with us about as dull ar oeasion of the kind as we have ever known. Oui streets and roads have been the exact antipodes o .eAdamii's most perfect conceptions-muddy, slip pery, sloshy and boggy. We scarcely had a single gleam of sunshine, either on the day before Christmas or on Christmas day, or on the day after. We heari of but a single egg-nogg during all that time; and, a for social gatherings, there possibly may hgve heer some such-but we doubt it exceedingly. Thc weather was so forbidingly damp that no lad) " dared stir abroad," and scarcely a dozen genti were to be found buoyant enough to rise above it depressing influences. Even the darkies, of whon there were throngs consteantly passing and repassing lad less of genial warmth in their holiday greetingi than we lave ever before observed. How could il be otherwise, when the atmosphere was worse that what we read of London fogs, while Fahrenheict.' thermometer sit.K1 at 72!-We once heard a lad re mark that he thought Clritmas could not come at all unless with a snow or sleet accompaniment. And simple as was the conclusi-n, there was formerl) some shadow of reason to excuse.the childite) ratio eination. For surely, utless our memory is ver) imperfect, the winter months (and especially De cember) were colder twenty years ago and mon regularly so, than now. At - any rate we cannot re call, -in our whole experience, a Christmas like tht one just passed. It almost amounts toa plenomenon To account for it we are at a loss, and leave the enquiry to meteorologists. We will only add tha our right hand imp wants to know whether any o our members to the Legislature have been after bring ing (n the 4th of July and Christmas at the same time lie fears they have from the late signs of the times If so, ie insists that it is an outrageous clap-trap pro ceeding, and le is determined to bring the questiot fairly before the people. L'O-TuE Adverti-ement of the "FuntAN U VERSrrY," - is unavoidably crowded out. of ou columns this week-but will appear without failur in our next issue. DEATH OF BON. B. 0. ALLSTON. Tut Charleston Mercury, of the 23rd ist., an nounces the demise of this high-toned Carolinian ant faithful public servant in the following terms: "I 'is with much regret'we announce the death o the Hon. B. G. Allston, who died in- tli' city or Tuesday, the 21st. Col. Allston .has occupied fo many years'a distinguished position a. the Beiufor District Bar. He was first elected from $t. Luke' Parish toe tle House or Representatives in the -Stati Legislature in 1824, and after many years of retire ment, le was returned to the Seniate from the same Parish, and continued to represent his- fellow.itizen faithfully and ably utp to tle time of lais death." our and If' l 'htshid tateA are inimical ta s c e consummation as thee attainment of thi Spanish possession, upon the ground that it woule divert planters with their slaves from certain coma paratively new States of the American Union, aml thereby prevent tle speedy development of thei resources. The latter vien% we hold to be narrow selfish and groundless. The addition of Cuba to ni Confederacy, as Slave territory, might render the South and her Institutions impregnable for till time It would certainly give us a vast increase of strenegth And, at thisjencture, the extension of our area is at object. to which tle greedineess for present advantagt to any particular section of the South should yield al once. Reet whether any suach extension can be effected ir the prescent case, wvitheout staining our national es cuetchon, or provokineg a war, the result of wheich nc humn wisdom could foresee, is a question of mo men, and must weigh heeavily upon heim wvho wield, tte Executive powser of the Government. Southern as we are and deeply devoted to the advancement oi Soutern welfare, we yet hope that nothing in thtia matter wvill receive ouerCGovernement's s'anctio'n, wheich does not commend itsself to an enhighetened and cheristian civilization. A TRiUMIPl OF SCIENCE AND ART. " Wa had the pleasuare, a few days since," says the Fmily Frienad, " of examining one of the most beau tifel stpecimens of artistic skill thcat it lens been ouc frtutne to mecet withe for a lonag titne. It was in the hape oef a set of Artificial Teeth, wvith Procelain Gums, manutfasetuered b~y our talented townsman, Dr llz.Asmsto, according to the valuable plan of Dr A L L S.

Fr.L.OW CITZENs: I find myself a Can'lidate before you for re-election: and it is proper that I should State the circunistances. 1 For nany years I hal been Post Master at Fruit .ill, and was Post Master at the tinte of my eh-e tion. Shortly after the election, and before I took my seat as a member of the'louse, I forward.d my resignation to the Department at Washingtim, and withdrew from all conneetion with the Offiee, not doubting that hy resingn:nlg before I took my seat I had complie...with all the Constitutional require ments. Nor did I hear any thi:ng to the contrary until at the regular Session of the Legislature, I I learned that the opinion was elitertained by sone that the resignation should have taken place before th-: ei-etion ; while other thoult it was suiflii. nt to resign before being sworn as a inoinber. Findling that there was a contrariety of opini in, I a-ldressed a letter to the Ilutse, (a copy of which appeared in the ]Dlgeield Adeertiser of Fh De cenber) stat'ng the factA and aking their decision oi the question. The matter wa.4 referred to the Comm-ttee on Privileges and Eleetions, who r..ported that in their opinion, such res*-nation must take place before the I election, no matter how unimportant or trijfling the office might be. The llouse adopted this rerort; and of course a new election became ueessary and has been order ed to take place on the first Monday and Tuesday in January next, being the 3rd and 4th days of the month. With this brief statement and hoping that I will again receive you kind support, I remain, very re.pectfully, your obedient servant, JO.N C. ALLEN. Dec., 17, 1852. FOR THE ADVERTISER. MEssns.
