GOV. AEI AND SPEAKER DARES.
The conduct of the Hon. Willian Aiken, the
distinguished Representative in Congress, from
the District of Charleston, in reference to Mr.
Speaker Banks, has struck not only the people
of South Carolina, but of the whole country,
with the most profound astonishment. We are
free to confess--and we record it with deep re
rthat we share largely in this astonishment.
We are amazed to think, that one occupying his
distinguished position-with his political antece
dents-once an honored Senator and subsequeut
ly, by the exercise of peculiar favor, elected the
Governor of a high-toned and chivalrous people
-with a property which, in magnitude and kind,
idenlifies himn more largely with the people of
the South. than almost any citizen she has-a
man of noble and elevated sentiments-as sen
sitive and as devoted to the 14mor of his native
State as to his own-a gentleman of education,
of political experience, and with opportunities
to form a clear and correct judgment of what
was due to himself and to the people he repre
sented-when, we say, we consider all these
things, we are lost in amazement at the bare
contemplation of this one act, so extraordinary
in-its character, so unexpected as proceeding
from such an agent.
To sa- that we feel mortified-deeply mortifi
ed, would be to give but a feeble expression to
the emotionis it has excited. It is a source of
profound humiliation--of deep and predominant
shame-of humiliation when we reflect that one
whose pub~lic character anid private virtues we
appreciate and respect so much, could so far for
get what was due to his own exalted character.
even though for a moment, as ti, stoop to the
low-level of this arch enemy of all his State and
people hold most dear--and of shame from a
profound conviction of the utter unworthiness of
the object thus distinguished by this signal act
of favor.
We believe that we know the sentiment that
actuated Mr. Aiken, and induced this remnarka
ble demonstration. We trust, too, that we art
not incapable of appreciating it. Buat while the
sentiment, regarded as a sentiment, is honorable
to humanity, it is not at all times proper to fol
low its dictates. It is honorable to rise superior
to the feeling4 of disappointed amnbition or mor
tified pride, which personal rivalry and political
strife so often engender. In moving that a reso
lution of thanks to Mr. Speaker Banks be vote-d,
"for his able ar.d impartial discharge of his dum
ties" as the presiding officer of the House, Mr.
Aiken no doubt rewarded it as an act of muagna
nimity-and truly it was an act of unparalleled
mnagnammty lBut was it a just act in its ex
ercise? Was it proper, under all the circum
stance-s? WVas it such an act as suited the rela
tions between Mr. Aike-n, hi<' constituents, his
State, and the recipient of this distinguishing
mark of favor? There is sotmething strikinigly
noble in a magnanimous act-in the exhibition
of the power to rise superior to the personal coin
siderations or selfish motives that are supposed
actuate the majority of mankind. To revenge
is human-to forgive, divine. It is an heroic
act to forgive our enemy when we are in a con
dition to be revenged. Yes-it is noble and it
is magnanimous to forbear punishing your ene
my-one, it may be, who has deeply wronged
you-to forego revenge when revenge would be
easy. It is not, however, invariably so: there
are cases in which to forbear to punmish would be,
highly criminal.
We regard Mr. Speaker Banks as no better
than an incendiary. WVe reward him and the
party with which he acts, wi& whose fortunes
he is identified, and of which lhe is a chosent
and favorite leader, as the sworn enemies of the
South, desiring, plottinig and comnpassinig noth
ing so much as her destruction .Mr. Speaker
Banks, we repeat, is one of the chosen, trustedl
leaders of the Black Republican Party. Byv
othem, that is the Black Republicans, he was
selected to fill the chair ho occupies-and elee
ted over Mr. Aiken and others. H is sentiments
-his principles of action, in common with his
party, are those of the incendiary- the senti
ments and the priniciples of those who wouald
fire your dwelling-ewould murder your wife and
children-would plunder your property-would
rob you of all you hadl Mr. Speaker Banks
would sacrifice-would conisign to hopeless ruin.
an entire half of the Union, to ensure the tri
umph of his principles andl party-the party of
Pandemonium-the principles of' a Demon I Mr.
Speaker Banks openly avows opinions that lead
directly and lead inevitably, to insurrection, ra
pine, and murder! He boldly proclaims him
self an enemy to the Sotuth-to the institutiotns
of the South.' Mr. Speaker Banks has identified
himaself with a party which repudiates the Con
stitution, and unblushingly proclaims a "higher
law" thanm tle instrument they are sworn to obey !
Mr. Speaker Banks would put the, knife of the
midnight assassin to your throats-he would re
gar-d with comiplacency the murder of our wives
and children!' Mr. Speaker Banks cotddi thus
contentedly sheep with Woo upon his soul!!
-And was it proper for Mr. Aiken to move a
vote of thanks to such a man as this? 'There
is justly said to be a moral fitness in all things,
if we can only ascertain what it is, but such an
act. coming from Mr. Aiken or any Sonthern
Representative, strikes us as very improper.
The Black Republicans were astonished-the
Southern Representatives were amazed. Strange
to say-a large majority of them afterwards vo
ted for it, for which they are responsible. At
the bar of public opinion then, they must an
awer.
WVas it not quite enough that Mr. Aiken, by
the exercise of an unparalleled act of courtesy,
conducted Mr. Speaker Banks to the Chair?
-Assuredly, this act was a striking and sufficient
demonstration that he was superior to any feel
ing of onvy or mortified vanity, or disappointed
ambition. -This was proof enough that such ig
noble feelings had no abiding place in his noble
heart. We say that this was enough-and, though
all did not even then approve, yet, all did not
condemn. But when in addition to his numer
ous acts of prsonal kindness consideration and
courtesy, Mr Aikcen superadds the gratuitous
ser-vic, the crowning and distinguishing favor
of thankg hmfor what? Why, for not liay
ingracted as badl,perhaps, as he feared, or as
he anticipated, or expected; ior for having, ad
miisted* datICs ordliehargied the fucetions
)f the chair with unexpected impartiality-with
reasonable intelligence-with ordinary ability,;
in short, for having simply done his duty, provi
led he really did all that was claimed for him
for this we say-a Southern Representative
representing the largest slaveholding constituen
cy in the South, and himself the largest slave
holding Representative in Congress, must move
that this moral traitor-traitor to his Constitu
tion and country-should receive a voteof thanks,
and.Southern Representatives must vote for it II
This is no tinen or occasion fordisguise ore-on
concealment, or the suppression ones sentiments.
We will not withhold the free and unrestrained
expression of our honest conviction when we
think our Representatives have committed a
gross wrong. We are aware that the wisest and
best of men may- occasionally commit acts of
indiscretion, and such too, as may result injuri
ously, which are not imputable to their general
character. We are aware of all this-and far
be it fromh us, in anything we may have said, to
impute infidelity to a single Southern Represen
tative. We yield to no man in respect for Gov.
Aiken, or in the confidence we repose in him.
We believe, however, that in the extraordinary
and unexpected position he took in relation to
Mr. Banks, he committed a great-an unfortun
ate mistake, and one too, which cannot be justi
fied by any consideration arising from propriety,
courtesy, or political expediency. It doubtless
sprang from the noblest sentiment of magnan
imity-but, we shall ever think that it was the
prostitution of magnanimity to a most unworthy
object.
THE RETIRING ADIMINISTRATION
We find in the Natinal Iuelligencer of the
4th instant, the following article, containing a
well deserved tribute to the patriotism, industry,
and fidelity of the late President, and of the
members of his cabinet. It is an endorsement
worth more than all the panegyrics of the party
press, and strickingly illustrates the candor,
moderation and intelligence by which that ex
cellent journal has always been distinguished in
its course towards its political opponents :
In the process of time, and in accordance
with the requisition of the Contitution, the coun
try is this day brought to contemplate the term.
of the Presidential Administration of Franklin
Pierce. The executive powers of which, during
the last four years of our national existence,
he has been the honored depository, are about
to be transmitted to the hands of his veteran
successor. At such a period when so many
eyes are strained to greet the rising sun, it is the
oilice, as well of patriotic solicitude as of per
sonal respect towards the retiring incumbent of
the Presidential chair, to cast a glance back up
on the results of the Administration which has
now reached its close.
Without entering for this purpose into any
minute recital of the measures and principles
which have given shape and color to the politi
cal and public events of the last four years, we
may safely venture to say that in hereafter tra
cing the civil and materialjrogress of the coun
try, the historian of the United States will be
aible to discern that the administration of Presi
dent Pierce deserves to find a place among those
periods whit h have contributed their share to
the general prosperity.
After due allowance made for that recupera
tive energy which enables a young and vigorous
nation to thrive even in spite of occasional er
rors in the administration of its public affairs,
justice will still ascribe to the outgoing Govern
ment an active and positive agency in mnch that
has coitributed to the national honor and wel
fare. Our own readers are sufficiently informed
that it has not been our fortune fo concur with
the President in the wisdom or expediency of
all the measures which have marked either the
domestic or foreign policy of his administration,
nor have we vect found reason to change our
deliberate opiriions with respect to the tendency
of those issues upon which wve have felt it our
duty to dissent from the conclusions of the Ex
ective, however much we mar always have re
spected the convictions of piblic duty which
guided his course with reference to much-can
vassed questions. Claiming for ourselves no ex
emption from that fallibility which we have
sometimes ascribed to the executiv-e department
of the Government, we can only hope that the
developments of the -future may viudicate its
policy even with regard to those points which
are still in litigation and debate, as we are sure
the softening effects of time, whatever in other
resets may be the award of impartial history,
wilmitigate the partisan animosity which has
sometimes unduly assailed the purity of its
motives.
But, however great may be the diversity of
judgment respecting the policy of its pairticnlar
measures, all will concede to the retiring Admin
ist ration, as at whole, the merit of industry and
fidelity in the discharge of its ministerial duties.
In this respect it muay safely challenge conmpari
.4on with any that has pree'eded it. The bead of
each D~epartment seems to have vied with his
colleagues in giving to his particulair branch of
the General Government all the efliciency which
talent, aided by untiring assiduty, could etf'ect.
Where each lhas thus done his dluty wit~h such
commendable diligence, it would be invidious to
indulge in special piraise ; and if the same meas
ure of success has not attended the efforts of
all, the blamne should perhaps be assigned to the
intractable nature of certain administrative de
tails, which afford a very wide margin for una
voidable grounds of complaint oni the part of
those who fail to consider the thousaud-fold con
tingencies to which such a service is subjected.
While the logic of the sagacious and experi
inced Secretary of State may have failed ini a
few cases to convince us, we yield to none in a
high appreciation of the general conservatism
and statesmanlike ability lie has always brought
to the conduct of p-orresponidence which lhe has
held with foreign Governments. Without de
tracting aught from the honor due to the Presi
deit for his part in directing those iniportant
negotiations, we may yet be pardoned in expres
4ing the opinion that much of the success of hiis
administration in its management of our foreign
relations deserves to be attributed to his trusted
and trusty Secretary of State. And if the head
of each of the other Departments many be truly
saui to have rivalled in his resp~ectiv-e sphere of
duties the zeal and ability of the Foreign See-re
ar, it is, perhaps, not too much to affirm that
the'learned and indefatigable Attorney General
of the retiring Ministry has ar;anized the ad
ministrative duties of his office, thus rendering
more easy the career of' his successor, noit only
by the cean docket he transmits, but also by the
systematizing genius which has' enabled hinm to
definie the boundaries of his provine wvithi all
its subdivisions and dependencies.
As that praise is always most valuable which
proceeds from those best qualifiedl to judge of
the grounds on which it is conferred, we need
but allude to the confidenice which thme business
mni of the country have steadily reposed ini the
.utgoing Secretary of thme Treasury as constitu
ting in itself stronmg testimony ton the intelligence
and fidelity with which lie has pierfomrimd the
intricate and responsible functions of his ofiee;
while to the per-souznd of the Army and of the
Navy, the Secretaries of these Departments niay
safely appeal for the general plaudit, which
forms the best reward of oflicial station. If the
Secretary of the Interior and the Postmaster
General have had a wvider constituency to man
age and please, we arc sure they have none the
less or less justly earind the approbation of
those entitled to sit in judgment on their labors.
When the Roman Emperor whose naiie has
come in aftertinmes to designate the palmiiest days
of iational greatness wias about to depar-t fronm
the stage ofaction, he turned to inquire of his
courtiers if he had played well his part ; amid,
being answered in the' affimrative, expired with
the simple request upon his lips, "Then give
me your applause !' That which in his case
was but the inspiration and exaction of imperial
pride, the ruiing passion strong ev-en in death,
deserves among us to be the voluntary homage
which the citizens of a Republic may pay to the
faithful servants of the National Commonwealth ;
and, so far as is due to those who are now about
to resign their public trusts, we cheerfully unite
with those of our fellow-citizens who are ready
a accord to them that tribute.

A LETTER 'EON THE MOUNTAINS.
PICasus DIrrICv, March 4th, 1867.
Ma. EOTOR :-I have often thought that no
man can be happy, who scorns to cultivate a taste
for the beautiful. Mankind have a capacity, and
consequently a desire for something better than
this poor world can afford. Man is a compound of
the material and the spiritual. How then can peo
ple give themselves up so entirely to the useful, as
to exclude the ideal, without breaking the harmony
of nature 1 He, who embelishes Home, and makes
it seem a second Paradise, not only contributes to
the enjoyment and happiness of the inmates, but
does a great deal towards counteracting the sub
tle machinations of the Evil one. Those who are
happy at Home, hardly ever plunge into the mael
strom of dissipation. All of the most lovable vir
tues spring from the domestic hearth. Some no
tion or theory like this must have actuated the
founders of Walhalla. I am inclined to think so,
because this flourishing and handsome Town,
which has sprung up as if by enchantment in the
very shadow of the mountains, is built upon a site
of striking beauty, and its name is but another
term (in German of course) for Happy Home.
Having paid a visit to Waihalla, not long since,]
was both astonished and delighted at what I saw.
The imnprovemecnts, about this German sottlement
are on a much more munificent scale tihan I expec
ted to see. A broad street, one mtile in lentgth, ham
been pretty nearly lined with houses on both sides.
In almost every gap, or unimproved lot, I saw eith
er quantities of lumber, or the frarpe of some neu
building. The Stare and Stripes may be seer
waving over every house, which is yet in course ol
construosion. This dislnato :be in honor of the
"head workman." There are already nine stores
and three Hotels in. this place. Some of the edi
fces are really handsome and commodious. I
think those Germans haso shown not a little tastt
in painting their houses. A neutral tint prevails
One Hotel in particular, with its dove-colored walls
its double piazza presenting columns and balus
trade of a milky whiteness, looks pretty enough ti
satisfy even the practiced eye; and it looks nict
enough, if I muay be allowed the expression-tc:
give anty mnan a good appetite ! This is the Anmeri
can hlotel; so called, perhaps, because "nmine
hot" is a native A merican. Most of the storet
are ornatnented in front with fancy work, and
sowy signts, which have the effect of making tht

Than Walhalla, I know of few places, wh'chm com
mand a more varied and magnifcent view of ti
tountains. The Stump House Mountain and itt
cotitguous spurs arc only four or five miles distant
whilst beyond Uhese, and much higher, the Clhim
ney Top atnel the White Side, two nioted peaks ovet
in Cashier's Valley, are to be seen looming tip it:
solitary grandeur. A Gentleman of intelligence
Iassured me, that the nights here are delightfully
cool during the hottest part of thte summer. Nol
a few tnative Americatts have settled~in Walhialla;
a Doctor and a Lawyer have recenmly left Pickenm
Court House for this place. In addition to this
large ntumbers of German emigrants are annually
arriving at this " Happ~y Home." On dit, that a
new paper-" the Pickens Banner," Is sooni to bc
stated at ti place. Tunnel Hill alias St- mil
Hose Mountain, being in the vicinity of Walhial
a, as a mat*.er of course, my exploration was ex
tended to that far-famed barrier in the Kice Ridge
Rail Road. Several elegant bmildings have been
put up recently along the road between Walhalla
and "the Hill." Next to thc base of the mnoun
tan, there is a residence otn the cottage ord'er,
which in cotnjunction with the fine scentery, is
unique-" boautifuml esceedingly ;" such a one as
cmpiels the admiration of the tourist. Tunnte
Hill is quite a Town in point of population amnd
nise. Thte blasting is going on at six differett
poits on the Hill, antd when one sees the embank
ents on thte brow of the mountaini, and hears thte
big gutns (the blasts)- boming away on every side,
he catn easily imagine himtself in sonme place be
sieged by an enemny. Thte houses in this Berg are
not retmarkable for their archtitectural beauty, but
they serve a temporaryt purpose. It is said that if
the rail road were abandoned or finishted, in less thana
three months afterwards, the place would be en
tirely deserted. Ott entering the Ttunnel at the
Eastern portal, I was ushered into a scene not
soon to be forgotten. The darkness, the stench of
"villaious saltpetre," the sharp ringing sound of
drills struck by the ponderous sledge, she half-de
fined shapes of men gliding to and fin with lamps
shorn of their beams by thte sulphurous vapors
all these we're tsuggesttie of a place no less dread
ful tian old Vulcana's work-shorp ! Isaqtuanta foIls
are but a short distance from the Eastern end of
the Tuttnel. Here the tiny streamlet flings itself
down an almost perpendicular slope to the depth of
one hundred and fifty feet. Directly after this
comes a george, deep, dark aud abrupt, through
which the dashting waters make their way down in
to tme vale at the foot of the mounitain.
Connected with this cascade there is a legend,
the recital of which may not prove uninteresting
to the rehtders of thte Advertiser. " Once upon a
time," twvo hostiIa tribes of Inditans met in mortal
fray. Ait'er the battle had been "lost and won,"
the grim victors made thme welkin ring with their
shouts of exultation when they found that Isa
quena, " the chieftain's daughter," and the sweet
est Cwer of the forest-. anong tl nuanber f
nt,.ei-r1. nve .t DgI ha-maV& the alov
Isaquena made her escape. Fearing pursuit, she
hid herself in a cave just beneath the " extreme
verge" of the falls. The sheet of falling water
etfectually ahielded this grotto from observation.
The Indians having tracked the fugitive to the
brink of the precipice, and seeing nothing but the 1
spray on which the rising sun had drawn a rain
bow, said one to another, " the Great Spirit has
turned Isaquena into a water-sprite, and none of us
may have her for a bride." But civilization has
broken the charm of romance. The water-wheel
of Captain Magener's Powder-mill now revolves at
the mouth of the cave where Isaquena was con
cealed ! Into this establishment (i. e. the Powder
mil) there is no admittance. I was allowed to ap- ]
proach the walls of the building and peep through
a glass window at the powder-making apparatus. 4
There is more machinery required for the business
than I had imagined. To avoid ignition the ope
ratives have copper tacks in their shoes. There
are only two workmen employed, and yet they )
turn out seventeen hundred pounds of powder per ]
week.
George Collyer & Co. the prevent contractors at
the Stump House Tunnel, have about two hundred
hands at work, by relays, day and night. More
than three hundred feet of rock have been exca
vated at the Eastern end of the Tunnel. At the
Western end, the workmen have gone into the rock
about fifty feet, though the tunnelling here is not
quite down to grade., There are four shafts, No.1,
counting from the East, has to be sunk 161 feet;
No. 2, 226 feet ; No. 3, 213 feet ; No. 4,189 feet.
No. 1 is sunk deep enough for the miners to com
mence tunnelling ; this gives two new faces upon 1
which to operate. The other shafts can be sunk
to grade in the course of this year. At each end
of the Tunnel 30. feet a month can be excavated
by the contractor, and 40 feet a month can be
completed in each shaft; consequently the work is
now progressing at the rate of 100 feet every
month. As each shaft is sunk to grade, this pro
gress will be increased by 40 feet per month.
Collyer has two steam engines and one horse gin
at work; and there is another steam engine of 40
horse power on the way from Philadelphia. Those
engines are used to draw rock and water out of
the s.'afts The Stump Hours Tunnel is 1 mile
572 feet long, 16 feet wide and 20 feet high. This
Tunnel is a heavy job, but it can undoubtedly be
finished in the course of three years. Indeed,
Collyer has contracted to complete all the work
in two and a half years from January 1857, and I
believe he can do it. Virginia has let day-light
shine through a mountain barrier no less formida
ble, than that of the Stump House mountain ; and
with this noble example before their eyes, our peo
ple cannot harbor such a thought as failure. The
importance of the Blue Ridge Rail Road to the
City of Charleston, and to the State of South Car
olina at large, can hardly be over estimated. The
teeming West stands ready to pour the contents of
her overflowing granaries into the lap of our Com
mercial Emporium, so soon as the locomotives can
be made to scale the heights of the Alleahanies.
The heart of the State being enriched by this vast
influx of trade, the glow and vigor of an unwonted
prosperity will be forced out to the very extremi
ties of the body politic.
It seems to be the general impression that the
commerce of the great Mississippi Valley is amply
sufficient to build up all the Sea-ports on the At
lantic coast. The Cities of Boat' n, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other Sea-board
Marts, doubtless impressed with this belief, hare
cut their way through the mountains after the glit
tering prize: held out by the West, at an expense,
which almost exceed belief. The New York Cen
tral Road cost $28,000,000, and owes a Bond debt
of $14,000,000; and the New York Erie cost $33,
000,000, and owes a Bond debt of $25,000,000.
The Baltimore & Ohio cost $23,000,000, and owes
near $10,000,000. The Blue Ridge Rail Road, at
a liberal estimate for a first class road, will cost
$,691,677. It will be seen by this statement that
our great thoroughfare will be comparatively a
cheep structure. There is another advantage on
our side-Charesto:n is nearer than any of her
rivals to Cincinnatti, the great Commercial Centre
of the West. And yet, strange to say, the Blue
Ridge Rail Road Company have met with the
sternest opposition at the very period of their
greatest embarrassment. But thanks to the liber
ality of the mountains and the seaboard, the cri
.sis is past, and the Road is a fixed fact. By the
Act of 1864, granting aid to the Company, the
Comptroller General was directed, when one mil
ion of dollars wvas subscribed to the capital stock
of the Company by individuals or corporations, to
subscribe five hundred thousand dollars on behalf
of the State; and when the further sum of live
hundred thousand dollars should be subscribed by
indivduals or corporations, the Comptroller Gena
era' was directed to subscribe the further stum of
live hundred thousand dollars on behalf of the
State. The first subhscripition was obtained, but
the second instalnent could not be procured, be
cause the subscription by individuals or corpora
tions was deficient, $220,000. At the suggestion of
Messrs. William & J. T. Sloan of Anderson, it wvas
determined sonme time in January last, by the Di
rectors of the Company that un ett'ort shouldl be
made to procure the requisite subscription. That
etrt has been crowned with success. Charleston
subscribed $150,000 ; A nderson District $30,000 ;
Pickens $20,000; and Rahun County, Ga., $20,000.
The Company now have the control of $4,600,000,
exclisive of the ainunt already expended. These
ample means ensure the vigorous prosecution of
the work to a state of forwardness, at which the
Stock of the Company and Mortgage Bonds can
be mtade available to the finial conipletion and prop
er equipmetnt of the Road.

A DisuroN ORGAN-The Tribune comes
out in favor of Garrison's doctrine. The deci- 1
sion of the Supreme Court has settled it. Re-<
bellion or submission are the only alternatives,
and rebellion is the choice. Mr. James S. Pike<
is well known as one of the editors and proprie- 1
tos of the Tribune, and in a letter from Wash- 1;
igton he comes out boldly as follows:
" But if Mr. Buchanan is not clear and forci- f
ble mn style, we must admit that the doctrinesi
of the inaugural are sufficiently pointed and dis
tinct. Of these we come at one to the expres
sion of a firm conviction, blunt as it may seem,t
that this Union is not worth saving, nor- this
Governmnt worth preserving, upon the basis
of the doctrine of the inaugural backed by the t
oming decision of the Supreme Court, to which I
the President, by intimation, clearly points." a

LATFsr Naws FROM GEz4. WALKER.-We
find in the Havana correspondence of the Char
leston Co,.rier, the following:
HAVANA, March 7, 1857.
Captain McGowan, of the steamer " Granada,"
informed me yesterday that Walker's troops,
undei- the commiahd of Col. Lockridge, con
quered the Costa Ricans in a pitched battle at
Cherique, I belheve was the name mentioned,
and that they had seized a very large quantity
of ammunition and five or six cannon.
It was in the street I met Capt. McGowan,
and my sense of propriety would not permit me
to detain him long enough to obtain further piar
ticulars from hinm, and my efforts to do so from
other sources were not successful, although I
afterwards heard that Walker's forces had re
captured one of the steamers, the Johni Scott,
and that the Costa Ricans had burned the other
steamers.
It is reported the " Granada" saw the railroad
on fire between Mariel and this city. I do not
pledge myself for the truth of this, but send
you the report as I heard it.
DEiA OF CArr. THOMAS PF.Trone.-We re
gret to see by the following announcement in
the Charleston Standard, the death of Capt.
Petigr., a gentleman whom we knew well and
esteemed highly:
We were pained, yesterday, to learn of the
sudden death of Captain Thomans Petigru, late
of the United States Navy, lie was on his
platation, in Abbeville District, when lie w~as
attacked with a somewhat severe indisposition
on Monday la.t, and though lie rallied and there
were hopes of his speedy recovery, he died at
about 5 o'clock on Friday morning. He was
one of those who sull'ered under the action of
the late board for imnprovinlg the efficiency of
the Navy, and has not survived the opportunity
of invoking justice.
ROTATION IN OFFIC.-"Ion," the generally
well-iiformned correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writiu" from Washington, March 9I, says:
"As I in ormed you in liy last, very few noi-i
nations are to be sent to the Senate at the pres
eut session. There is no pressing occasion for
man new ap~poinitmenCts, and they will be made
at leisure and with ideliberation, and, of course,
ustdiscrimination. The opinioingathers strength,
however, that the Decmocratic doctrine of rota
1;ioni in ollice is to be faithfully observed and car
ried out. This wasi~ the understanding at Cin
uinnati, and was the identical ground upon
which the nomiination was decided. Mr. Buch
anan himself succeeds Mr. Pierce upon this
principle, and lhe has announced, also, in his in
agural, that he " reserves the saiie dagger for
aijmsc" at the end of his fouir years' term. Be
iies, there nre special reasoins of public policy
r changing from hand to handl the patronlage
)f the Federal Goverunment which do iiut apply
u State and municipal officers. An official aris
ocracy in the Federal Government is not to be
,durd."
Mr. J. W. WHITE.-For some weeks past, a
nan calling himself "Col. J. W. White, a Bor
1er Ruffian," has been in this vicinity, making
peeches and collecting money for "bleeding
ansas." Numerous circumstances have come
o light, creating a suspicion that he was not
vhat he represented himself to he. The first of
hese, was the publication in the Charlotte (N.
J.) Whig, of a communication over the signa
ure of W. Beard, Lieut. of the Kansas Militia,
enouncing said White as an imposter and
lwinder. Next, we have numerous and i mpor
ant contradictions, made by himself, on various
scasions, gf that he ha'd previously made.
text will b'e found, in our paper of to day, two
etters, one from Hon. John McQueen, and the
ither from Gen. Whitfield, the latter the Dele
rate from Kansas in Congress. These need no
'omment from us. The communication of Mr.
heard was published in the Pee Dee He'rald of
ast-week.
W#Ihave felt it to be our duty to lay this in
ormation before the public, to save them from
ma psition.
Co. White collected at this place, according
a his authorized statement in the fremld, over
wo hundred dollars, which he has since reduced
a one hundred and three dollars. This money
, promised, on last Friday night, to pay over
a, the Cashier of the Merchants' Bank, at this'
lace, in forty eight hours, but has failed to do
o up to this tim~e.
We leave the man with the public, and it is
o therto detennine how farhe is to be trusted.

AEARINUEAVE. -
A year imcalendered; for what
Hast thou to do with mortal time?
Its dole of moments entereth not
That circle, mystic and sublime,
Whose unreached centre is the throne
Of Him before whose awful brow,
Meeting eternities are known
As but an everlasting now !
The thought removes thee far.away
Too far beyond my love and tears;
Ah ! let me bold thee as I may,.
And count thy time by earthly years,
A year of blessedness-wherein
Not one dim cloud hath crossed thy soul;
No sigh of grief, no touch of sin,
No frail mortality's control;
Nor once bath disappointment stung,,
Nor care, world-weary, fiade thee pine,
But rapture, such as human tongue .
Hath found no language for is thine.
Made perfect as thy passing-who
Can sum thy added glory now ?.
As on and onward, upward through
The angel ranks that lowly-bow,
Ascending still from'beight to height,
Unfaltering where rapt sersphs trod,
Nor pausing mid their circles bright,
Thou tendest inward, unto God!
A year of progress in the lore
That's only learned in heaven; thy mind
Unclogged by clay, and free to soar,
Hath left the realms of doubt behind.
And wondrous things which finite thought I n y s a
In vain essayed to solve, appear
To thy untasked inquiries, fraught
With explanations strangely clear.
Thy reason owns no forced control,
As held it here in needful thrall;
God's mysteries court thy questioning soul,
And thou mayst search and know them all.
A year of love; thy yearning heart
Was always tender, e'en to tears,
With sympathies whose sacred art
Made holy all thy cherished years;
But love, whose speechless ecstacy
Had overborne the finite, now
Throbs through thy being pure and free,
And burns upon thy radiant brow.
For though whose hand's dear clasp has felt,
Where sill the nail prints are displayed;
And thou before that face has knelt,
Which wears the scars the thorns have madel
A year without thee ! I had thought
My orphan'd heart would break and die,
Ere time had meek quiescence brought,
Or soothed the tears it could not dry.
And yet Ilive, to faint and quail
Before the human grief I bear; .
To miss thee so! then drop the wail
That trembles on my lips in prayer.
Thou praising, while I weakly pine I
Thou glorying, while I vainly thrill !
And thus between thy heart and mine,
The distance ever widening still.
A year of tears to me; to thee,
The end4f thy probation's strife,
The archway to eternity,
The portal of immortal life.
To me-the pall, the bier, the sod;
To thee-the palm of victory given ;
Enough, my heart-thank God ! thank God !
That thou hast been a year in heaven.

ONE day last week, Jones met his friend
Smith limping along, and anxiously inquired,
"What's the difficulty, Smith?" Smith imme
diately threw himself into a theatrical attitude,
and gravely informed Jones how the accident
happened, in the following language;
"On Wednesday last, the' 13th inst., whilst
pursuing my peaceful avocations, an instrument
of mechanical labor, vulgarly denominated an
adze, violently precipitated itself from my left
digital extremity, and alighted trith astounding
violence on my right pedal extremity, thereby
severing the tendon of the minor toe."
.Jones, quite astounded by his friend's conver
sational powers, leaves in a hurry, muttering
something similar to "Poor boy-cut his foot
great pity !"
How Masy MrL.s A PRsTER's HaRn TRaa
ETLs.-Thou~gh a printer may be sitting all day,
yet in his own way he is a great traveller, (or at
least his hand is,) as we shall prove. A good
printer will set eight thousand ems a day, or
about twenty-four thousand letters'. The die
tance travelled over by his hand will average
about one foot per letter, going to the boxes in
which th~ey are containedl, and of course return
ing, makiing two feet for every letter he sets.
This would make a distance each day of forty.
eight thousand feet, or more than nine miles ;
and in the course of the year, leaving out Sun
days, that member travels about three thousand
miles.
