H., Sept. 20,1855. AMessrs. E. H. Britton 4- Co:: DEAR SIas: I have received your Circular, asking if, as a member of the Legislature, I am willing to contribute ten dollars in promotion of your design to procure " the services of ef ient sten ograhers, to be present in both branches of the South Carolina Legislature during .its next session, for the purpose of publishing a detailed report of the proceedings of each House, pre cisely as published in the Washingtun Globe du ring the session of Congress." =In reply, it affords me great pleasure to assur you, that I will most cheerfully contribute the amount solicited, and further, that in my judg. ment, nothing is more wanted in South Carolina, at this time, than the successful prosecution of the enterprise which you propose to undertake. The Political or Legislative History of our State.is almost wholly unknown, for while it is true that the reasons and causes which led to the enactment or amendment of many of our Jaws, may -be found in the Introduction and Notes to Brevord's Digest of the Statutes, or in the learned opinions of our Appeal Court, and oceasionally in the Annual Reports of Execu tive Offlicers, or in contemporaneous newspaper# yet the great mass, of our legislation is left, un explained by any published book or document with which I am acquainted. And the sources of information above indien. ted are costly and scattered, as well as sadly defective, besides being inaccessible except to a few professional characters. I know that the aipublishev records of the several departments of the Government at Columbia, sometimes throw additional light on particular legislation, yet, even with the aid of these, I have frequently searched in vain for a satisfactory -history of changes in numbers of our most important Statutes. No person can properly expound any law without a perfect knowledge of the real in tention of the law.making power, and a full view of all the fnets, causes, reasons, circumstances and necessities which induced the etnctment of that law. And es the .emergency for deciding authoritatively every vital construction or inter pretation of which a Statute is susceptible, does notL arise in many cases within a shorter period than half a century, or untijl long after the au thtors of such statute may have passed away, the conclusion must follow, that without some record of the debates upon said statute at the time of its adoption, the people, the lBar and the Judgies, in their expositions of it, will have to be guided by vgue tradition, dangerous an ojog, or unsafe hyothesis. reports of t ga ve ummtuees, an a i the speeches or comments of its Representatives upon every proposition submitted to their con sideration. England whose Government consti tutes the model upon which ours is formed, has long jkept such a record of her legislation as the one of which I speak. Congress has done the same for more thaw a quarter of a century, and so have some of the States. As far as my in formation goes, South Carolina is the only Staite in the Union, the publication of whose -legisla tivo proceedings is not foil, indexed, bound and labeled, in a becomIng manner. Even poor and thinly settled Floridn, with less than a fifth of the population or wealth of Carolina, finds the means to issue a record of her legislative pro seedings that makes ours look contemptible. The debates in our Legislature will doubtless compare favorably with those of any other State Assembly on the continent; yet, as a gen eral rule1 they are all lost to us, and, as a conse quence, one's State pride is always bumbled. whenever he compares the meagre report of proceedings and speeches at Columbia with those which come from Albany or Baton Rouge. The contrast is so great, that it diminishes the veneration which heshbould feel for his Legisla ewse, ed the pleasure or instruction which he .ught to-derive from perusing the published de tails of the -conduct. of his Representatives, iwhen met together, is absolutely little or none. Itis almost as beneficial to know why, how, or .by whom a law is passed as to know the latw itsulf.; and the objections to, or arguments against a-statute, are as useful in explaining it, asare the .seneoasin favor of it. By far the greater number of laws that affect our personal or property rights, are passed by .the loeal Legislature, and it does seem to me, that as we py for a proper record .of Congres sional legisltion by taxation from custotas, so we ought to have a better and more permanent one of the actings and sayings of our separate legislature. I for one am willing to aid the un dertaking by a permanent contract on the pairt' of the State, especially if the work can be ac complished for so small a sum as fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars, or for even twice that amount, and provided further, that the printing he done in form for *idig In voting for such aimeasure, I should feel t It was discharging my duty as a Representative of the people,.ac cording to the dictates of my honet judgment and for the best interest of my country. For these reasons, your projected enterprise has my unqualified approbation, either-as a Rep resentative or as a private subscriber; and, al though I am unalterabl opposed to the politics of your paper as regas Know Nothingism, yet I am ready to aid your project with every means at my command. I sincerely believe that so geat a desideratum in .tho future Legislative history of the~ Stats as you propose to supply, will meet with the cordial support of the people and their Representatives.

He lhas cupital y workmen, capital timber, snd is putting up some real- ' ly handsome jobs. We saw several bureaus with a glasses, which cannot easily be excelled either for a beauty or completeness of finish. There too were Is wardrobes, presses, bed-steads, tables and a variety of other articles, making all together a display worthy of a much larger town than ours.

TnE Greenville Agricultural Society has resolved d~ to become a constituent part of the State Agricultural Society. The following delegates are appointed for the November meeting: : Dr. A. B.

T PRUITS AND FLOWERS. . ~ g We present this week, for the inspection of fruit t lovers and flower-cultivators, two very attractive ad- W vertisements. One of them is from D. REDMOND, t near Augusta Ga, and the other from Susteua & s.I CRAMMOND, Pomaria, Newberry District. Both nur- t'j series are replete with the choicest varieties of trees and plants. Orders sent to either establishment will be proptly and faithfully filled at standard priees. It is A our good fortune to know both Mr. Suxa and Mr. bl REDonD; anid we undertake to guarantee cornplete hi satisfaction to all who may apply to them. Here are itt two superb orchard and garden conservatories, one oi a either side of our District. Within our borders there vq are many, many localities precisely adapted to fruit re culture, and many acres of yard-room that might be o1 beautifully adorned with the thousand and one lovely G varieties of La Rose. Will our farmers, will our ladies slight these- opportunities ? Now is the time for this kind of Improvement. Make out your orders andl send Is them on.

Tuesday's issue is the last gt number of the paper that will he sent to such della- iS quents. The editor of the " Crolimsiaa," In carrying bi out this plan, sets an example worthy of imitation. If all of us would adopt and adhere to this course, the business of our calling would he at once more lucra- ha tivend more pleasant. It does seemi to us, that, in consideraion of the -industry and. skill manifested in ti the conduct -of the "Croiaian," as well as from t a r- pr collection of the heavy loss sustained by its proprietor wi in the fire of 1853, the subscribers to this valuable. da journal should step forward at once, to a man, and re, not only pay up their dues but renew their subsci-ip tions. It is the part of justice not to mention liberality. . Empty Janl.

WITHIN the past week, we have taken one of those rasant trips to Augusta of which we always make ation once, and sometime twice, .per annum. tppening to be-down at ti same time-with several ry pleasant Edgefield people, anttt-e.dust happern to be laid, and happening still further to find our agusta friends in good spirits, we had what we may lt-eall a delightful time.' The little we have to say the, trip, shall be sered. 1p in tl*.most laconic rIe. One word about the plank road: It does tolerably ll down tothe Cherokee Ponds; but from that place any to Hampburg it. is abominable. There ough-to forty hands this moment at the business of repairs; a saw only four on the whle line. It borders upon imposition to charge travellers for such.a succes' ma of jolts. Iamburg is busy .this season. A good deal of cot a has been sent there already, and a great deal more ,confidedtly expected. The cotton-buyers in Ham irg are understood to be liberal and -air; and this et never fails to draw trade.' There are establish ants too in Hamburg that will compare with the at. To cite but a single one, we defy any Southern ty to show a more complete hardware house than at of RoBINSoN & JacxsosN, or two cleverer fellows an thu men who own it. In the line of-heavy gro ries, Hamburg is welLknown to be abundantly sup ed. Add to this that she has one-of the best Banks South Carolina, and. some idea may be formed of e inducements she ofiers to the public. Augusta was more brisk and lively on Thursday at than we have seen her look for marry a day. The erchants seemed to be generally full of work. In a dry-goods line, -WARD & BI7acIAIn were crowd I. In the clothing business, NEway & Co. appeared have a little more than all hands-could accomplish. o wonder-for both these firms have magnificent rocks and do the fair thing alt the- way through. -The hers were doing finely too, and by "the others" we can all our advertising friends down there. Good ek to all ! If we failed to call m any of them, it was ;cause we had but little money to spend, and that, vided out, would have been bit' a poor driblet to rch. This time we stopped at the old United States Ho t. It is now kept by JENtmNs, who formerly'pre led at the Globe. Not meaning to disparage- the her hotels, we must say that the United States is ebest location in Augusta, especially for families.. Ii in the very heart of the Dry Goods business, which akes it just the place for ladies who go to shop. The -esent landlord is exceedingly obliging and his ser tnts are very attentive. The table too is good enough ad the rooms are excellent. There is one advantage hich this hotel has over the others in Augusta-we ean.the fact-of its affording a comfortable Ladies' rdinary, easily accessible by a private entrance from ie Ladies' Parlor, This. advantage needs only to be entioned to be appreciated.- For the information of tlemen, we may add that there is a decent barber's sop, with baths convenient, just in rear of the build. g. A little further back, there is an admirable place drop in at about 12 M. We mean the "Shades." is now kept in fine style by PLUMs & HAtCr, who rye up a very nice lunch at the right time of day ad afford an excellent glass of anything you like to ash it down with. Altogether, JENNrNs' house Is ready a good stopping place and promises soon to be still better; for the old man is evidently bent upon erting himself in the right way. In short, (for we have not space to say more,) take e old 'clty of Augusta up one side and d->wn the her, it is a considerable spot of ground. We oEdge :ld may well congratulate ourselves upon r in easing prosperity. She gives us facilities (in con. in.ion with Hambug) whihLt few other part, of our ate enjoy ; and those amongst us, -who refuse to ad. it thme fact, or profit by it, are actuated by little bet r thmau a spirit of contracted prejudice. They.are ung injustice to a business town of real usefulness ad standing in the way of their own interests. WHY THIS DIFFERENCE.. AT other Courts in South Carolina the attendance 'freign lawyers seem to he almost multitudinous. ut in Edgefield we scarcely ever see more than two -three visitors from the Bars of our sister districts. See what the Chester "Standard" says, in speaking the last session of.the Court for Chestsr : "Among the foreign lawvyers in attendance were pt. J. M. Ruitland, R. B. leylston, Es. J. Z. ....--,l V.. r'.I: r R. Mer .n~and.&LStor, !mhersporn, W. I. Clawson. Jnon ..a son, of ork. Cot. Dawkins, Col. Herndlon and A. W. hompson, of Un'on. W. F. DeSaussure, Col. Gregg d Hon. E. J. Arthur, of Columbia, and W. A. oore, and J. Williams of Lancaser; also C. Chain rs, of York." Observe also this from a Greenville paper: " From Anderson we notice Messrs. Broyles, Reid ad Sloan. Messrs. Boho, Choice and Carlisle, from patnug;Msr. onHnesn Simpson, The reason of the difference Is, either because we Iveta better bar than most Districts, or because we at live on a Rail Road. THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD. WVE plucked an enigma from the Sumter " Watch us" the other day and handed it to a little friend of re for unravelling. He came hack the next morning d said, " I have found out what that fellow intended t lhe don't spell like we do." 'a How so, Jiuase 1" " Why the answer comes out, The gallant fer corn ny; and if that's the way they spell "flre'' in Sum r, they must have different spelling-books from ours." e thought co too. Perhaps the editors of the Wtchma" will explain, for our lit tle friend's edifi lion, the process by which their contributor, "Omno ,,a arrived at this new development of calot'e. CROWDING THE CEREMONY. A Miss SUSAN RIDtLBr SzoowreK and a Mr. Cuaa r~r E BUTLEIa were married the other day, according a notice of thmeir union in the New York Times, by e Rev. Ma. DAssIEr, and the Rev. Ma. BELO..o. he peculiarity of the matter is that it took two cler man to tie the knot for them. It must be one of lie hard knots which children sometimes tie hen one hold. the lower lap while another hastens fix the upper one before the former has had the ightest chance to slip. That's all well-tie them ;hi. RIP UPON THE STAGE. ON we go,.after the fashion of old Europe. An smerican Opera, by arm American composer, and sung a partly American company, has recently been ought out in the Great Metropolis. It is the old ry of Rip Van Winkle dramatised and set to music la Ifeliene. Yes, here we go. There's Vincent allace, an American composer, just sailed for Eu p with an Opera in eaeh of the side pockets ct his ercoat, one for London, the other for Leipzig. er-reat kedenfrt, thtis EFFECT OF NO LICENSE. Tax Greenvilla "Enterptise"~ says that during the t Court, week for Greenville District, such a thing a drunken man was a rare sight. We believe the hiy of village restriction works well enough for a ar or two.. It has done so with us in Edgefleld vii e. But it is to bq teared, after all, that the remedy not permanant in its nature. Break up the habit of inking liquor in a certain way, and men will not be aw in finding out some shift by which to obtain their rated "drops." During our last Court It was evi nt that every one got liquor who wanted it. A half ee or a dozen persons threw in and bought three lIons at a time, from which all of them drank abund y. The "Enterpriae" will find this to be the case Greenville about Court after next. Yet, although a restilt may he to make men drink more, we are ted the peculiar abomination of grog-shop rowdies, d that is eertainly an exemption to be prized. Hon. John Mc~ueena.

Carolina, my notace State through her agents regularly appointed'-in Edgefliek District, employed myself and others to teach her In digent children, and then refu'ed to pay any thinj more than elesn per cent, on the amount due at the end of the last quarter in 1854. The Commi'sionere of the Free Schools for Edgefield, at their last siuing repudiated School Reports passed in December last tc the tune of eight hundred dollars. And why? The Comptroller General gave information by letter that i was illegal for the Commissioners to pay old debts: that is to say, accordIng to the Statute in such casa made and provided, no pert of the sum of $3,600, I< which the District is annually entitled, can be usec this year by the Board of Commistnera in liquidatior1 of the debts contracted last year over and above that amount. If such a law does disgrace the Statute booki of South Carolina,!I hope for the honor of the State that it will be expunged by the legislature at its nexi session. Unless this be done, and unless the Commis. sioners be'allowed to pay the Teachers their just dues, I for 'one shall feel very much like emigrating. IfI, or any other man, should hire a number of men te work twelve months, -and at the end of the year, It should appear that moy salary was insufficient to pay all that I owed them, then as a matter of course I should have to make a draw upon my salary accruing the, next year for the wherewithal to settle up old scores. And who will have the eff'rontery to say that Governments are not hound by the same'principles which are of force in private life!i It may not he improper, at this point, to say some. thing in relation to our Free School system. It is be coming fashionable among every class of citizens to assert, on almost every occasion, that this system works badly. But the money appropriated is all ab. sorbed-very eeonosuicaily expended. In what way I In educating the orphans and poor of the State. Bj whoma r these children instructedI Jy teacherI examined and approved of by the Commissioners of Free Schools. Who appoint. the Commissioners? The L.egislatur.. And yet there are twenty thousand men and women (whites) in South Carolina who can not resed and write! WI at is the natural inference.? Tat there is a lacief money-tiat the Letgislature ap prprianes too eperingly. I hold that education should be free as water. Our schools ought to be common to all without distinction. But until such schools as these are thrown open to the pudtic, it is worse than folly to cry dowu our present system of Free Schools. Let the system be backed by a larger parse, and my word for it, we shall see the cause of education flour ishing like a green bay tree, from the sea board to the mountaIns. LUDIMAGISTER.

C., on the 27th Sept., 1855, after a protracted and painful illness. Mrs. SARAH ANN STARKE, relict of the late Major W. W. STAR., in the 52d year of her age. The death of this most estimable lady leaves a void in a large circle of friends which can. never be sup. plied, and wsill ever be deplored. Her cheerful and genial spirit, her gentle and unaffected manners, and er social and generous disposition, enlisted the sym pathies of all who approached her ad inspired gratifi cation and delight. Her society aforled a long day of sunshine and gladness; her unselfish nature pre vented the intrusion on others of whatever personal afflictions she may ever have experienced; her griefs, if any, were hers.exclusively, while her joyoUttnen derived in part from a vigorous constitution and a hap py temperament-was imparted to her associates. If the softer and sweeter.traits of her character were eminently attractive and pleasing, the more sterling qualities exacted the respect and won the esteem and affection of friends, and endeared and auadhed her to relatives and connexions by imperishable ties. She pos sessed practical judgment in a high degree; a'd extra ordinary energy.. She was the model of a wife, a de. voted mother, an affectionate daughter and sister, a charitable, steadfast and reliable friend, a pious and sincere, yet unohtrurive christian of the Presbyterian sect, having been a member oC the churchr for many years; and of a purity of heart and a divinely forgiving disposition, which, all in all. rendered her on-among the kindest, the truest, and the best of womankind. . - . H. DIED, on the 28th Sept., of congestive fever, after a short but serious illness, ALEXANDER, son of ED WARD HowLE, aged 16 years and 4 months. In his early life lie was noted for his singularity of habits, being very different from boys of the same age, choosing rather to be none than join in their favorite amusements. Having recently connected himself with the Church, and being a punctual member of the Sab. bath school, he had by his general deportment evinced a Christian dharacter, and being a dutiful son and a kind r.nd affectionate brother, has left many sorrowing friends. But we trust "that our loss is his gain." DIxD, on the 11th inst., in the 77th year of his age, JOHN SUMMER, of Pomaria. The simple announcement of his death is sufficient. There needs no long recapitulation of the life of use fulness he has just completed, to bring him within the remembrance of the many who knew him, who en. joyed his hospitality and admired the industry, frank ness and contentment he -continually displayed. His many friends will be saddened by the intelligence, but none ought to mourn-since lie has been permitted to finish his fifty years of toil, and allowed a season of rest, even in this world, to look hack with satisfaction upon a well spent life, and calmly await the approach of death. DIED, at his residence in Marshall county, Miss., on the 21st July last. after a short, but intensely painful illness,- Deacon S EMUEL WIL0N, in-thae Afty third year of his age. -He was born in Edgefield District, S.
