HIwill be seen that our immediates fellow-citizen, 6ol. R. G. M. DuNovAs-r, has been elected Adjutant and Inspector General. le will prove himself-wo,' admirable successor of noble old CANTEY. Legislative. Wa-present our readers as much intelligence from our Legislature as we have been able to rake together. But after all, we have only reached the proceedingi' of Thursday last. This is owing to some miserable mis-management by which all direct communication with Columbia has been debarred us. We blame no body, because we don't know whose is the fault. They have Arrived. WuIr havc arrived I All the good things for Christ toas. Where are they! At G. I.. PzNr's, corner of Plank Road Alley and Rue de Buncombe. What might they be I Candies, Cakes, Oranges, Cocoa-Nuts, Fire-Crackers, Banatinas, Canister-fish, Apples, Grapes, FreEh Sauces, Condiments, Cranber ries, and many other rarities. How does lie sell them? Go and ask. One thing we promise you-you'll not be cheated. We stepped into Mr. P's Store yesterday, and saw so many barrels, kegs, boxes and baskets in progrets of. opening, that we were led to exclaim, ". This sure 3% must be the grand Depository of Santa Claus hint Bnowden & Shear ARz always full. Their supplies are regularly re ceived and abundantly varied. No where can goods be found superior to theirs. We invite attention to their advertisement. Wish a Vine Neot! Oa a neat Gaiter! or a snug Shoe! or a light Slip per! or any thing else in that line! Call at WFLnit's -Jou4 WE.st's, in Augusta. But first turn over - and read what lie says elsew here about his Stock ott hand. Notice this! LEwIs & HAaaRsoN, merchants at Liberty Hill, will continue to offer their goods at cost until the 5th inst., one day after Christmas. Ott that day they will commence a grand auction of all their re - maining stock. The auction will be continued from day to day until the goods are gone. We are assured that they have a long list oflirst rate, fresh articles. Here's a chance fur bargains. Go and buy yourselves rich. We give this notice the prominence tif nn editorial inserion, because the occasion is close at hand and ne don't wish those who advertise with us to be overlooked. The City of Augusta. Oscz every two or three months, we go to the little city of Augusta. We have always done so, until It is really something of a habit which we can not well give up. It is only a ride of twenty-five miles, and now, that we have a Plank Road all the way, the trip is nothing more than a slight 2,40 jaunt. So last Friday afternoon, having some excuse of business, we drove down to towa in about three hours-hardly that. 'The city was quite cheerful and apparently well so-do in point of business. A genttleman of our ac qutaintance observed that Augusta had "sold her commercial birth-right for a mess of pottage when mshe agreed to the extension of the South Carolina road itnto her limits." But nothing of thte kinud is as yet observable. We hope the opintion is incorrect, and that in reality Augusta's prosperity has but just begun. Trhe two nights we wvere there, delighted audiences ~- wre h~ek epchanted by the very beautifnlcexhtbitions aflorded at Niblo's last summer, We considered it a real treat, and so record our opinion. Casar de serves credit, decided credit fur what hie is now endeavoring to do in theatricals for Savannaht and Augusta, and the people of those cities mistake the thing very much when they fail to encourage him. We should not omit to say that the Ballets ne wit nessed were alternated by roystering Farces, in which Miss DzcxE~xs always asserted her claim to be admired. We stopped this time at the new Hotel tup town, ownted by Messrs. TaowalDGcE & JACKsONJ, and kept by Stssrsox. It affords us pleasusre to say that it is a fine hotel, delight fuily situated and admirably kept. SutrSON is a Kenutuckianu and of course sup pulies with Barotnial profusion. Then lhe has with hinm, as general supervisor of the establishment, NicxtasoN of Charleston, a younger brother of him of the Mills House; and our private opinion is that he quite equals the " old NtcK." At any rate every thing goes like clock-work utnder him, and even the muost petulant will find but little to scold at. It is thought by some that the situation of this house is too remote from the centre of business. We thought so tno until we tried it. But it's a mistake. 'Thec truth is, it's just near enough for conmfort, and not a step too far off for fun-and what more can wre wish fur in town accotnodatiuns. While we seek nut to undervalue other flotels in Augusta, we must b~e permitted to say emphatically that the Planter's is a first rate house. We called on .Mlaj'r Wua-r, at lies office (that of thme Georgia Home Gazette) soon after we got down, and found him, with pen and scissors in hand, hard at it. But in itat warm and hospitable manner which he ever exhibits towards strangers visititng htis city, lie threw down the implements of the craft and joined our perambulattons. Our visits to Augusta, of lute years, hare received much of their bright color in; from the Major's kintd attentions. And, besides thainking him heartily, we wish for htis excellett Jourrml unbounded prosperity. MIuch sport is anticipated in connexion nith the Rutee week soon to come off on the Lafayette course near Augusta. Nina, Red Eye and Highlander, three of the very best nags in the Union, will be there. A large crowd is expected arid a brilliant time. To those of our friends in Cirolina, whto wish to vIsit Augusta on a pleasant occo.sion, we would say, " go down race-week." We could rattle on to tell how we called on our advertising friends in town, attd how they showed us their rich stocks of goods, and how we were tempted to spenid a few dimes with them, and how (like your real gentleman-merchants as they are) they once in a while would say " oh, jus~t take that trifle along, you'll oblige me," and htow they sell at the must moderat, profits, and various other items them-to appertaining. But we'll say tno more now. Be Tha nkful. Aso-rtia year is drawing to itsgeclose. The me.nie old season of Chtristmuas is at the door. Hoary Win ter, with his grey vestments and icicle brillianta, rules the day. His winds, whtichs have stripped bare all the trees of the forest except the Pine and the H1olly, now lend their bracing influences to the race of Adam. Mince pies and jellies, and a hundred other refections of the kind are being prepared by al1 the good dames of the land, that their loving spouses and rosy-che ked bairns may have an extra treat for, the holidays. 1Tme has flown another round in hisI swifted footed race. Many have passed away since the greetings of last Christmas morn. But many of us are here yet, and for this let us be thankful. As expressing our sentiments on this occasion better thtan we feel able to do at this time, an extract is hereto appended, taken from the Georgia Home Gazeule of last week. Truitthfsl and beautiful in its sentiments, it is also wel) expressed. Anud thus it readeth : " Christmas is the time to thtrow off care and enjoy i a little breathing-space in the great race of life ; to ,feel humasa and hopeful; to open the heart and look over the book of memory ; to revive old feelings and F think of old friends; ro-get otne into the sunlight ;to become happier and better and more thankful men. Thankful !-that is the word. Thankful that we seet the end of another year in health and life and happ:- I ness ; thankful that the pass has been so enjoyable, n that the present is so bright and joyous, and that the d feture is lighted tip with some rays of promise. Thankful that we lbga escaped disease, and abun- A danitly thankful that our eyes are not yet dimmed, anid ci ' the night corne,' upoa which never rises 1he Sun of to.-row" n lrom Washington. NlO''tNG has transpired at the Federal City, since tie meeting of Congress, particularly worthy of mett tion. We have not therefore commenced our sreleo tions of matter from that quarter. Next week we shall begin to furnish our readers Washington intelli gence with as much regularity as the nature of the case shall seem to demand. By this time, we pre sume our young delegation are all stowed away on Capitol hill or elsewhere, in sung, cosy rooms, in quiet houses, and with attentive lanladies to rninister to their wants, with fine beds and soft carpets, all warm edi up by good'fhe places, to say nothing of the round table-well providbd with (not canvass back ducks and fried oysters) but an abundance of 31. C. Stationery, by means of which they are to give to the press the lucubrations called into existence by a Winter of Con gressional excitement. We really envy them the brilliant opportunity of distinction now before them. But it is not an envy of that kind which prevents our w ishing them great success. Bxv. Tucxas, the proprietor of the Washington Sentinel, has received the Senate printing, which is all very well. This is nhat the Southern Press lacked. The Smntinel may now last and (Io much good, provided it does not give way tso much to that egotistical propensity which leads some editors to say, " These are the principles ee have ever labored to set forth," when they are as yet mere newspaper novi t'ates. Missing. WHAT has become of the South Carolinian, an ex cellent paper publiliedi in Columbia, S. C., by R. W. Gtaees antd edited by Mir. Jontson ? We are fairly entitled both by-regular subscription and terms of ex change, to receive its visits. But for the last week it has been suddenly and unaccountably missing. We a-c not alone. No subscriber here has received one out of its last five issues. This is provoking, especi ally at this time, when we look to the Carolinian for full Legislative intelligence. How is it! Has the Stale printing overdone our brother's resources ! We hope not. The Weekly Newberrian. Tuts is the style and title of a new paper, the first number of which now lies before us. It is published at Newberry C. II., by Messrs. REM & WILsoN, at $2,00 per annun in advance, or $2,50 at the end of six months. The first number of this new-comer is a good one. Its conductors, int a plain but suflicient salutatory, give promise of most laudable exertions. We gladly place the" Ncwberrian" upon (our list of exchanges, and cordially extend the right hand of welcome and fellowship to its editors. The Grumblers Satisfied. Soxr. critics kicked tip a literary dust, or tried to do so, because the English Thackery had spoken, in the outset of one of his late works, somewhat lightly Of W-AsIrNTON, calling him Mr. WAsHtNGTON, who bravely led the American rebels in '76. The author, hearing this, writes a very handsome explanation, which the most angry grumbler of them all must re ceive as amply sufficient. After jestingly showiig tip the mistaken construction placed upon hiis lan giage, lie concludes with the following earnest tribute to the rreat American iHero and Patriot: " As irony is dangerous and may hurt the feelings el friends whom I would not wish to offend, let me say in perfect faith and gravity, tha' I think the cause foi which Washington fought entirely just and right, and the champion the very noblest, purest, bravest, and best of God's men." The Violet. TuE North Eastern storm had been sweeping ovet the face of nature, with its chilliest influences, foi thirty hours. When it had passed by, we walked into the garden besidc our cottage. The sun wat shining brightly again, but every flower hail yielded to the tempest's blight anad their scattered leaves 1a3 wilted on the damp earth. So we thougt, until gentle fragrance arose as from beneath our feet. We looked down and there, still blooming freshly ant breathing its sweetness around, lay the modest vitolet none thte worse for the winter's blast.

Where the wariest eyes mn'sy be beguiled, And thme stoutest heart may quail.

A bill to establish Boards of Direction for Common Schools, and for other purposes, was taken up. Mr. Sullivan: sahl lie felt a deep anxiety in the spread of education, but desired that the whole matter should be fuity understood before any definite action should be taken. Since 1710 large appropriations have been made to purpose" of education. Ile narrated the means and mode of the State muniieence in thus procuriugL the enlighteimnent of its citizens by edueation; thought the policy of the State good, but ad. mit ted its being abused. lie doubted the pro priety of creating a superintendency ; did not hike the reference of gentlemen to the system, of othier States as models. Thte sparseness of our population was agaiinst such systems.

Mr. Mliddlelon regarded it a duty of the State to do something for those whop are cenlled, (bit lie thotught errc'neously, " the c-hildren of the comitmnonwenilh ;") but hte belonged to that class of politiciamns who believed government maighit greatly err in attemtpting to regulate the morals, edteraion, haptpiness, anid wealthi of the citizens.

Johnson in the chair. Mr. B. F. Perry, being entitled to the floor, responded to arganents made when this subject was previously u~ser con.sideration. Mr. Owens said for six or eight years this sub ject had been preseited in perhaps all the phases within the reaeht-fhuinaii intellect; that it had been found so difficult a qietlotin in framing the national constitution, as to authorize its being left to the will of the States, and South Caroli na for sixty yedi hAd pursued a course contso nant with its views of right and propriety ; and shough other States had acted differently, no question (of her *nsti utional privilege has ever been raiqed.

This matter will there fore be amicably adjusted by a commiot' refer ence to the Supreme Court of the U. S. as an arbitrator. A considerable amount of businiess, requiring little time, and involvinig no discussion, was dis posed of; but there yet remnains a frightful list on the arrear calender. Thte laust entry on this days's calender was marked 363. TIhe House ontly reached, we believe, 98. T1here was some debate oni a petit ion to per mit Wmn. Jackson, f. m. c., to manumit his wife and children. The Committee on Colored Popu lation (Mr. Read Chairman,) had reported unfa vorably, and referred to 'lie unvariable and well settled policy of the State. Mir. Leitner and air. Trucker, of Spnrtanburg, opposed the report, and advocated the petition, n presenting a ratre exceptional case, which justified and demanded:' relaxation. The petitioner was described as a workman of excellent character aiid habits, while his wife and children, alt hough slaves, now owned by himself-having been purchased for that purpose--were so slightly touched with the nferior blood as to pass reaudily with strangers for whites. The ,policy and necessity of rigid dherence to our settled rules, were urged by essrs. Read, Winsmith and Torre, anid the eport, was adopte~d. igThe immense Printing Establishment of the essrs.

No MITMsosV Cnaton SoUTrn.-The missisrpp Conlepetet or ttie Methodist Episcopal Church, Smti, recently held its annual session in Canton, Mdiss. This body of ministers numbers about eighty. The membership represented by them is reported at 13,593 whites and 10,015 blacks. Besides the tra velling ministers who compose the Conference, there are 1J7 local preachers. There has been an increase, a. the result of the past year's labors, of 1,l00 mem bers. Six of the travelling preachers died during the year. Bishop Capers presides. Ifis health was so infirm that lie would return honic fron that point, and not finish his appointed Epispeopal tour. DJou RILEY has been sent to the state prison for two years and a hair for sending a letter threaten ing to destroy the propeity of the Utica and Sche nectady railroad company. The letter was written by Riley's son, a boy of 16 years, under compulsion, his father not being able to write. This is a case in which the advantages of education are not apparent at the "first blush." uTnK sarlary of the Tord Lieutenant of Ireland is $100,000 a year, and he spends $130,000.

"-TiE 11AtrEns.-The misfortune that has occurred to the Hlarper's in the destruction of their iinimense estabhlitent evokes from the New York press many expressions of regret as well as of per. sonal esteem for these enterprising gentlemen. The Mirror relt.-s the following incident Col. .John Ilarper waq employed in one of his lower counting-ronos when the tvtartling annonnee ment was brought him that the building was on fire. coupled with the engiry-" What portion of the property sAill we save first, sir ?" " Never iniid the property," replied Mr. Harper -" save the lires." " This is a sad ealanity.sir," said a friend to M r. John Ilarp-r, alluding to the cotflagration.,-" a large nuiber of poor persons thrown out of em ployient." "Oh, Yes, answered the Mr. Harper, "God bless them, they must be seen to." Another of the brothers, not present at the fire when lie heard of it, W-ked, " Are nny lives lost ?" -" No," was the rep'y. " Then," said lie. " All is well." With such a spirit to meet such a calan ity, all w:ll be well, and the enterprising and in I detatigable Harpers, backed by the warm syinpa thies of the community and the country, will r:me from tie ashes of this conflagration Pi-nix-like.
