From the South Carolinian. SENATE. WEDNXESDAr, Dec. 2. The Senate met at 12 in., pursuant to adjourn. ment. The followiing preamble and resolutions were received fron the House of Representatives, and were unanimously aduopted: Whereas, during th'e past year, the people of South Carolinta have be.,en called upon to mourn the loss of three of. the most eminent of their pablic men, it is but futing that this Legislature shotdd express its owil feelings, and the sense of the people of the State, in view of this public bereavement, with which it ht pleased God, in his inscrutable wisdom, to visit us in the death, first, of Cheves, atnd then of Butler, and now of Hamilton. The Comnwealth has experienced a loss, not so tuch of service as of worth. They were all advanced in life. For a long time pre vious to his death, Langdon Cheves htd been from choice, and the infirmities of advancing years, entirely removed from the sphere of active participation in political affairs, but even in his old age and in his retireneut, the integrity of his character and the grand proportions of his massive intellect, retained their blended symine. try; and, now, as we survey his finished life, it is dillicult to determine in what light the picture is presented in its most attractive features, whether as the able advocate and the incorrupti ble jndge, or as the statesman of enlarged and liberal views, who, in his earlier political life, espoused the cause of the impressed and captive seaman-in the prime of his manhood rescued the country from great financial distress, by an able admtinistration of the a Vrs of the Bank of the United States, and who, in his old age, 'pro claimed, trumpet-toingued, the wrongs of the injured Sotith.(itf Andrewv Pickenis Butler it is not necessary here to speak. lHe has been too recently amongst us, and was too fitiuiliarlyv known to those who honored himi with the high est olliees in their gif't, to require att this time a r.eital of his virtues and1 his worth. His recent intellectual conicts otn the " floor of the Senate of the United States, and his ardent devotion to the State, to the South, and to their institutions, wvill illustrate his ndherence to dutty anduu the faithful performance of his public trttsts; while the general warmth of his benevolent nature will keep ever greeni the affetction of those who1 enjoyed his conlidence and esteem in privatte life. But while we mourned the loss of thetse distinguished compatriots, and were preparing. to wreathe at chatplet for their graves, how ap palling is the itelligence that James IHamilton1 -the leader of forme~r davs-the adventurous, and ,gallanit spirit-the assoeintte of Catlhount anid. Mclutlie, and Hlayne and Turnabtll--in the en joymeunt of health and a yet vigorous constitu-< tioni-at midnight, by a collisint on the wvaters of the Gulf of Mexico, has gone down betneath< the waves to rise no miore. Let a eurtain bae drtan over the harrowing scene. And in eon sideration of these atilicting dispenisations of Providence ; be it Jalesolreud, That int the death of Langdon Cheves, Atndrew Pickens Buntler. and JamuesC Hlamilton, the State of Souzth Carolina has been f called uplon to mourn three of her most distint gntished sons, each o~f whom. in his day and gen-t erationi, had' pe.rformned good service, not only to the State in which he live.1, but to the whole country. .llesotced, That while we express our sorrow 0. at this public loss, and record our high apipre eiation of their pirivate worth, we 'eaunot lbut t symnpathiz~e with each of their afflieted families, *in their mielancholy bereavemenat. cid Resolved,' That the Clerks of the Senate and v of the Hotuse of Representatives be char-gedl with S the duty of transmitting to the respective famni - lies of the deceased statesmen a copy of this b preamblle anid these resoluttions. 11 Stundry reports from cotmmittees were receiv. lb eid; which were ordered for conusiderationt to- t *morrow.

S The banks in this city have refused to receive i the bills of the Bank of Hamburg.

It found m,. N.. reine ent of her izen,-in their graceful mansions, in their lovely rdens, and In the universal cleanliness and well pt-up condition of their entire premises. There is one thing however which I was really grieved to serve. The ten water-oaks planted twenty-fire ars ago by Col. BLADIN, near his then residence, a all in a state of rapid decay. These were the at trees of the kind planted in Columbia. Since an, long rows in a number of localities have been ide to flourish and shade the side walks. What we tn is, that twenty years mere will find them all per ing in their places, and that the pileasant air of in urbe which they now impart will be exchanged a garnish nakedness of aspect, at once uncomfort le and uninviting to the eye. Against this howev the Athenian pride and taste of the Columbians 11 doubtless provide in due time. I has been my privilege to enll several times at the lees of the LCarolinan end of the Carolina 7imca. both I observed evidenem of energy, .pirit and :e. The Southern LilAe of this city is also (as mderstand) thriving in its youth with a good pros e ahead. The members of the piress of Columbia :upy a priomiinent luendity before the State, and uld niford, ns in many respiects they do, moudels for itution to the rest of us. It is gratifyiog to see that wrangling between the Timc4 and C.arolinhin ha length entirely ceased. For one, I trust it will or be renewed. I like, that people whom I like uld like oine another.

The chief ovelties of the week have been two different Classes f Musical Entertainments, each drawing their full ihare of patronage. At the Hibernian Hall, M'llo Emilia Frezzolini from the Italian Operas of Paris Ld London, and St. Petersburg, sung before crowded nd fashionable audiences on the evenings of Tuesday nad Wedresday. Her voice is a very high soprano, owerful and well cultivated, and she is regarded here s anl artiste of high order. Her dress was richly agnificent, aud her person commanding, but the ewiapers and critics are sadly at fault in enumera ing among her other attractions a pretty face, that icing an exceedingly rare po/session with singers gnerlly and Italian Prima Donnas especially. She was assisted by Madamo Amelia Patti Strakoseb, whose beautiful simple ballads " Coining through the Rye," and "Within a mile of Edinboro." are always rresh .. the hearts of a Charleston audience'and al ays ensuro a rapturous encore, also by Maurice Rtrakosch, the great Pianist, and Herr Kletzer on the Violin, a combination of gifted artists. The Troupe - Lre on their way to Havana, where they are engaged ror the Theatre Tacon, by Max Maretzek. The Campbell Minstrelslhave been making the spa :ious Institute Hall nightly resound with noise and mirth, and filling its commodious galleries with my riads of grinning sons and daughters of Africa, who grow boisterous over the counterfeit presentments of themselves on the stage, while scores of white folks re making merry below, over the spectacle of strang gers, "taking off their negroes before their faces." The Troupe has suffered greatly in the loss of several of their most valuable and well known performers. Others however have been added, whose introductory delineations of the most amusing characters give promise of these vacancies being in a measure sup plied. The Brass Band which fiJls up the interludes is very grand, but entirely too noisy for the limits of an enclosed apartment, as sundry aching heads in the crowd of spectators can feelingly testify. If " the Campbells " will allow a frequent patron to venture a gentle suggestion, I would take this opportunity of recommending the chief jester of the concern to re sume his seissorings, and cut out a few now scraps of jokes for future use, as the old stalo remnants, to which they cling so affectionately, have already gone the rounds of the country papers. If they should come up your way, perhaps the Adrertiscr could furnish them with a few accessions, as I have reason to know that there is a humorist in your sanctum who can turn "Patience sittingon amonument" into "Lsaught r holding both his sides" at short notice, with an impromptu pun, retort or song, as occasion may re quire. Miss Avonia Jones assisted by her mother, Mrs. Melinda Jones, has benen producing quite a sensation among the Theatrical folks. Her performainces are highly applauded by the critics in this department Signor Blitz, the Ventriloquist and Magician, will bein town on Monday eveaing to commence a series of his wonderful exhibitions, at the Hibernian Hlall. The Report of the President of the North Eastern tail Road Comipany, has just been published. It states that since the 5th October last, trains have been running regularly and without accident between this City and Florence, the .Northern extremity of the oad. 'The expense of building the Road to Florence, was $1,0i2b,95; the assets are estimated at $1,0:32 00; the equipment of locomotives and cars, real es tate aud slaves, $2,O1 5,000 ; the debt of the Company on bonds, notes and contracts is $1,035,910I. They are petitioninig the Legislature for the passage of An Act authorizing the State to guarantee tho bonds of the Company to the extent of $100,000. For the 9 months ending 1st October, the daily receipts aver aged $112 50, and from. Nov, 15t to 10th, $40 5. On the 48th day alter thoa opening of the road, it earned within four dollars lper dany, enough to cover its daily expecnses. The Compiany have matured and adolted at plan for the extinction of its debt, some what similar to that of our City Council. " Itunell's .hoJ/ajue " for December, is highly spoken of by the paress. The success of this work is qie a feather in our lite'raary cap, and shows that we have- a slight tinge of romance left in our composi tion, which tumammou anad 'hard-times " united have ot been able entirely to exterminate. No oneo who knows any thing about periodical literature ina this latitude, could ever be fool eniongh to sulppose, that either the enterprising publisher or his able co-work er, have entseros upon so haopeless aun undertskinag, with the view of Jeriving any considerable pecuniary profit from their patriotic labors. They deserve anid arc receiving (so fiar as it goes.) the grateful " r/ done " of their readlers. When will our reading -omn munity learn and take to heart the lesson that the la borer in the field of letters, as~ well as in any othser field, is entitled to a lilting reward for Ale toils and sacrifices? Our Magazines hiave never before been even r/nlarsiigt. Several of them have .now reachdl that puat-but we cnn never become strictly a reainag people, tat least, not an ap'precia se one, until we go a step further, and vouchsafe something like as decent remiuneration for the intellectual, as well us the mnechanical anid practical talent enlisted ini such ntelrises.

The same remarks are equally applicable to " The outhern Episcopalian" the D)ecember number of which lias appeared with its usual fund of Religious nteligence, of interest to the Church at large, as well us to the influential denomination under whose aus slees it is published. This asumber Is the ninth of Volume No. 4., and it is gratifying to learn that a steay, though very gradual inspirovomenut in the nunm cr of its patrons is rendering this Journal also capa lo of meeting successfully the difficulties which al rays attend the publishing business.

He was an honest; unassuming citizen, greatly-be loved by his neighbours, and a worthy leading mem ber of the Baptist Church for many successive years. No man was better prepared to meet his God, and he sunk quietly to rest, leaning apon the arm of his aviour. Ho was a standard of morality and truth, and will long be remembered with esteem by his neighbors as a virtuous, upright man-who raised around him for the benefit of his-native District, a large and estimable family. The habits of life of this venerable old citizen were well known to the writer of this brief tribute. Ho gras uniformly temperate in all tings. fareifty yars: lie was scrupulously 'exact in the disohlrgd of M1. Christian duties. During nearly all of that time he was one of the chief pillars of the old Red Bank Church in this Distriot; and most truly may it be. said of him, that lie adorned his'walk by a holy life and a godly conversation. In his intercourse with men lib was an example of moderation and kindness, slow to anger, full of benevolence, and over ready to forgivo offenees as he hoped jo be forgiven of Heaven. But the good Christian is gone to his reward at the right hand of Jesus. Yet long will his virtues remain behind on earth, as landmarks to guide the younger members of his Church and community on the true road to God and His eternal glory.

Death under any cir ecmstanee is truly melancholy, but when one, com paratively so young, is taken from the embraco of a fond husband, and from children dependent upon her for maternal counsel, it is melancholy in the extreme. Bur so far as the deceased is concerned, her husband and friends have the consolation of believing tbit their loss is her infinite gain. " Truly in the midst of life we are in death."

William Roulatt, a well known Methodist lergymain, residling at Naples, draws the following amusing but apt comparison b~etween Dr. N'Ltane's ee-brated Vermnifuge., prepared by Fleming Bros., of5 P'it.biurgh, P'a., andl a ferret: -'A Ierre t, when pilaced at the entrance of a rat-bobs,. enter.s dhe aperture, travels along the passage, seizes uip,m, the rat, extermimates his existence, and draws the animal's defunct carcass to the light. And in like man ner have I found Dr. .lI'Lane's Aanericman 'ersni f~. to operate upon wonoss, those dreadful and dan gerous tormentors of children. This remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round the htomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes the life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and carries their carcasses clear out of the sytmu. This, at least, has been the effect of the Ver mifuge upona my children." A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs, adlopts the simuile of the reverend certifier, thus both giving their most unequivocal approval of this great specinie, after having witnessed its operation upon their own children.
