COLUPIRIA CORRE3PONDENCK CosbuxA., Thursday De. 2. DXAn EarroR :-I cheerfully drop you a line or two a as requested in your favor of yesterday. No news of particular interest to-day. All the speculation aoat is In regard to the forthcoming U. S. Senator. It will probably be decided to-day. Ao.rus stands no earthly chance. I was in the Senate during most of the sitting this morning. Nothing of importance transpired. At least nothing of importance was ejected. This is not the week for ending causes. That species of work, and of wholesalo decapitation of bills, will be entered upon next week. - :,me nes in& the Senate this morning had a bill read to -rovile -'unihnhent for carrying concealed wea.uzis. Io the lius there wi. t-.n-ideralle sparring about the public psrinting. It will be divided between 1xt. MAN and IONEus, the fiormer receiTing the lion's share. AFTEk TIa ADbJOURNU93T. The agony is over, and Col. CnassUT is U. . Suna'i tr after all said and done. I think the office is as well filled as could be expected under the circum stances. CoL. C. is a most courteous man, and a wor thy and true Coroliulan. He received 92 votes, beat Ing Gov. ADAM$ 38 votes. I suppose the Governor takes his defeat well; his temperament Is bouyant and sueb things dout hurt him much. His friends, I think, made quite afsax pas In bringing out a cer tain publication entitled " An Appeal to State Rights snon." It contained invidious comparisons and or bitrary discriminations which were far from being palateablo to this sensible Legislature of o-.rs. FawAy, Dec. 3. To-day, in the Senate, the usual order of business (nothing concluded) went on, until after the election of a Senator to fil the unexpired term of the late Judge EvA.Ks. Col. CRUM UT having been elected to this vacancy also by an overwholming majority, re signed his chair in the Senate and delivered a brief but feeling valedictory. An election was immediately held for President of the Senate, in lieu of Col. CnUEsNUT resigned. It resulted in the choice of Mr. PoaTER from Charles ton. He was conducted to the chair by Colonels CAn noL, and HAUrvOx, addressed the Sonate In terms of gratitude, and the body fearthwith went on with busi. sesa. a very slight amount of whiol, was transacted efore that dignified assemblage of pnoaumnen ad journed for dinner. It was, altogether, a pleaant day in the SCnat, especially to CuS.NUT and his friends. Some wag said, that " pindars used to be the rage in the Legislaturo, but CAesnuts carried the day now." In the House, to-day, one or two matters worth notice occurred. 1. The Blue Ridge business was made the special order for next Tuesday. L The Jadiciary Committee reported unfavorably onapetitionof sundry citizens of Edgheld, Lexington, lVaruwell & Orangeburg, praying for a new Judicial ,district to be called Calhoun. The petition was said to have a thousand signatures. 3. Mr. SPaATT, of Charleston, introduced resolu tions about the Slave Trade, looking to the repeal of *l1 Federal enactments restrictivo of the Trade, in streting our Senators In Congress on the subject &c. It was attempted to fix their eonsideration for Thurs day next. But there was objaetion made. One nember remirked that " the House bad many sub joet, before it of much more pressing importance." Still the vote on fixing a day was a tie. The matter will yet ho discussed, hut it occurs to your corres pondent that the tide is at present adverse to any action on the subjoet. 4. The last item I have to mention for to-day is the re-election of General JAuxa Joxzs as Commis sioner of the NewState House. Thaulove hasbeen made (which I remember the A.derliser warmly advocated last summer) to increase the Commissioner's salary. Very many here think it ought to he done, but whether they will be withheld from voting for it by a false apprahension of disfavor at home, has yet to be 'tes House should receive $5000, instead of $3000 per annum as at present. I wish I had more to tell you, but I believe I have given you what little of news will interest your rea ders. Neat week will be a gay week here, and many visitors are espected. The graduating class at the College is spoken of as eaove the average ; and Com suenoement day -is locked for with interest. The in stitution Is flourishing. 4iur old friend, Dr. Ltsoans, holds his own and is still a great favorite in the Col. lege. He is in fine humor this session, and, I am glad to say, in capital health. The Doctor has much to do with giving lone to the College. Ho has also not a little to do with making strangers like Colum bia. Hie Is hospitable and kind after the Edgefield style of years gone by. Bless the old doctor! Bterhaps you may here from me again, if I find an oepportunity. L. craELZns COBRESPONDENCE. CHARLESTON, Dee. 3rd, 1858. Thme South Carolina Conference of the Methodist 2Episcopal Church is in Session in our City; the ocen aion has attracted a mass of visitors. The Sessions arc held at Trinity Church, Hasell Street. During the-Conference daily and nightly, religious services are held in nll the Methodist Churches, and opportu aites nlforded us of listening to manny of the most ableoand distinguished divines of this denomination. Among those whe are taking an active part, are Bish op Andrews, Dr. Whitaford Smith, Dr. Wightman, Rtev. Messrs. Stacy, McSwain, Walsh, Martin, and numerous others. Bishop Androws addressed the Con ferenee on the first day of the .Session, with great earnestness and .eloguenee. There is a very full at .tendance of delegates from all sections of the State. .Allarge -meeting of the Israelites of the City was held on Tuesday evening to give expression to their ifeelings on the subject of the abduction of the boy Montarn, at Bologna on 23rd June Iast. The Resolu tions are spirited, but suffieiently moderato in tone. J. N. Cardoso, Esq., the veteraw associate Editor of the Evening Newq, Rev. H. S. Jacobs and others, ad dressed the meeting. We have a variety of amusements this week, Dr. 'Beale's Panorama of Niagara Falls, Johnson's Pano rama of Sea Battles and Shipwrecks, the Art Gallery, the Rlegatta, the Circus and Menagerie, Pyreneea Mountaia Singers, and the Camphell Minstrels. The Pyrenees Singers are giving 'Concerts and Oratorios at the Cathedral, for the benefit of the-Grphans under the care of the Sisters of Mercy and theOrphan Asy lum at Bagneres. Burton, the comedian, made his first appearance at the Theatre on Monday evening, in the play of "Dombey and Son"' performed by him in New York for 100 consecutive nights. The Row. boat Race on Saturday resulted in favor of Mr. Bai ley's Boat Carolina, 50 feet, 12 oars, which won by '70 feet, in 4 minute. 50 seconds. The sailing match, postponed from Friday, took place on Tuesday 30th, resultiog in favor of Mr. Vincent's Boat, the " Pride." The contestants for the race were the " Rosalie," he. longing to Mr. F. N. Bonnean; the "Flirt," Captain Phillips, and the "Pride," H. E. Vincent, owner. This last race excited unusual interest and was wit nessed by a vast multitude of spectators from the shore, and in numerous sailing and steam boats about the Harbor. The anniversary exercises of the Orphan Asylum, (postponed from the regular day in October in conse quence of the fever,) took place at the Institute Hall yesterday. Divine service was performed by Right Rev. Bishop Andrew, and an address delivered by Rev. John T. Wightinan. The Senatorial Election has been a prolific topic of speculation during the week. The final result came to us thismnig byTelegraph. The choice of Hon. James Chesnut, ls regarded as a triumph of the Con. servative party. This important business being des- I patched, we are in hopies that our Legislators will now I bedgin to go to werk and make up for lost time. -That conundrum under your Editorial head about the five eggs andl one In theishwas not bad.

The proprietor of the Carolina Hotel, in this vil lage, proposes to sell that establishment on next sale day. See his advertisement. The situation is an unusually advantageous one, combining (as the ad vertisement says) retiracy and publicitj. The House could readily be converted, if desired, into a private residence; it is already in excellent condition for hotel purposes. Attend to this sale. ADMITTED TO EQ~UITY. Among the recent admissions to the practice in Equity, we gladly observe the name of our young townsman, Col. Locuox BmsLn. FARMER & PLANTER. This paper is bought out by Mr. R. M.

THlE ECHO CASK. Our readers are aware That the Grand Jury found No Dill in this case against the officers and men of the slaver, Echo. The counsel for the prisoners have moved for a writ of habeas corpus with a view to their release. The matter was to have been heard and de ided on Saturday last. CharlestoR. It is delightful to bear of the animated renewal of trade in the city. Visitors are thronging to the place from all quarters. Every man in South Carolina, who can afford it, should go down, if hut for a day, and if he only left behind him flee dollars. This would be friendship of the right stamp.

A point is sought to be raised in South Carolina In ;ard to the State's being represented in the next mocratie Convention. Some would do no more J an throw cold water upon the suggested propriety our taking that step, while others are making their position to it a plea for the advancement of their tims to office, State and Federal. Let us for a single Dment try the wisdom of this opposition by the uch-stone of common sense. What will the State forfeit by going into that conven on? Not an iota of her cherished principles; for r delegates would go with all these emblazoned up. i their credentials and charged to defend them ,inst attack or modification. Neither will she sac Ue a particle of her independence; for she will not D bound by the Convention's action if it does not' cet her approbation. Nor would she suffer the least iminution of her dignity or honor; for there will be irginia, and Georgia, and Texas, and Alabama, and 11 the rest of the slave States, to warrant by their reence the worthiness of her course. And as to any isk of her influence as a State, it would surely bo in reased at the South by this more close aliliatiun with be representatives of Southern sentiment; and it is nly at the South and for the South that she seeks to uard that influence from decay. But would she lose nothing by refusing to enter in o that Convention? She would at least lose the pres at privilege of assisting, by her advice, in giving di ection to the great current of opinion upon which her lostinies are floating, and must continue to float, one Lnd inseparable, with the woal or woe of the slave olding South. But there is danger that she would ose yet more than this. Look at the peculiar rola. ive positions of the Democracy and of the South. [o'uk ijseed at the truth, that now the Democracy a hio South. Considar t):at the States of the South, as natters now stand, must in the not Prpsidential con .est guido and controll the action of the Denocratia! arty. When they again come together in Convention, ley will exppf every Southern State to be present at 1e rQll.eall; because tit roll-pnll will be the mus tering of the Southern Mort for aL grea4 a4 deesive batti,e.

Will any PRh ex cuso relieve her, when the cry of the united South shall be " Come to the Rescue ?" In short, will not a refusal on her part to enter the Convention, be justly censured as contpinacious in itself and at variance with her oft-repeated calls for 9o-popration and South orn Union ? And must she not necessasily Lonp papi tion and influence by that refusal? It could not well be otherwise. We entreat gentlemen then to beware how they press their opposition to this matter of the Charleston Convention. And we especially warn the people of the State to guard against the approaches of such politicians. They are unwise counsellors, and, if suf fered to do so, will place the State in a falso attitude before the South. Let us heed thaem not, but watch the developments of the day for ourselves; and whun called for by the South in the Chsar~eston Convention, we will be there in obedience to the dictates of duty, sgn gelnuson sense, ands self-praservation. THE esJg gggg RAILROAD. The report of the Presidssjm Rf ?h ikf) to the Legislature is a very able document, and wn Will en deavor to lay a portion of it before our readers at an early day. It strongly urges the Legislature to make t1VBhUL JtJII ' ta.te enterprise; and Thle quesap p ps ihleut, as i~t is momentous. The figures of its eost is ar tling; and yet they seem small, when all its future l.Ienosfts to jp State at large are fully estimated. The conclusion, drawn from the history of railroad advantages, would seem to warrant a present venture for a great future good. There is another' gagsideraticn that should be kept in view. If the State is to sIng) her assistane at the present progress of the work, the Idea seems .to ob lain, that her subscription up to this date is to be an entire loss. That being admitted, the practical (lees. tion comas to this: Is there any prospect of building the balance of the road, and of equipping it, at a cost which would warrant thae bplief that the road would hereafter pay back to the State a responable annual dividend upones her fat ure subscriptions. If so, then the argument on the one side, is for throwcing array more than a mnillion of dollars, doing no good to the vital interests of the people of the State; and on the other side, for continuing the work to comple tin, losing no more to the State than the opponents of the road would lose to her, while at no further risk of loss a judicious investment would be masde result ing in incalculable advantages to the whole State. ORAY'S SHAWLS. Some of the prettiest shawls of the season are to be found at GRAYt & Tuntear's, in Augusta. In win. ter, the shawl is certainly one of the inost important articles of a lady's dress. There is so much of inde scribable effect about the comfortable thing, ,cehen tutfefully aeIrrtedl. But iute will do no good without a proper assortment for its ;ppplo exarcise. This as sortmnent ought to be full and varied, or tasta is neces erily cripipledi in its action. Just such an assortment, we beg leave to say, may be found at GnAS' k Tint fEY's. What a nice christmnas gift one of those beau tiful shawls would be, from husband to wife, or from Irother to sister, or from son to mother, or from uncle o niece. Yes, they are lovely things,--those varied rd brilliant shawls at Gnavm & Tunr~sr's; and we dvise every cue who finds it convenient to take a peep at them in paseipg.. OUR DELEGATION. The Edlglefild members of the legislature went to ork at the outset of the session like men in earnest, is they asould be. We were down there for a few iys, and could but observe how much like old stagers hy wont at it,-steady, quiet, observant and intelli ;ent. Msjor J)Ous's eyperiencc, of three terms, ena >les him to act as a sort of guide to lhpo rest. But ey are all doing their parts handsomely, in apd .of Iemselves; and we think the District has reason to io more than satisfied with her representation. In the Senate Col. CARnorLL Is winning the admira ion of his associates, by his parliamentary urbanity nd business skill. H~e is chairman of the Committee in the College, Educaution and Religion, and ls also a amber of the Committee on the .JidiCiar-y. In the lous, Mr. ,J. ii. Baooxs is a member of the Comn sittee on Privileges and ,Slectionsa, and also Cashier f the House. Mr. DEAIJa is Chairman of the Corn. sittee on Agricultsure; Mr. QUA rr.s'.hhy is on Piak i Buildigs; Major JoxEst, on Colored Popuslahioni d Agriculure; Mr. Tourscuss on Road., Bridges ad Perrice; and Mr. W. WsAD~tus is of the Coin tittee on Inceorporations, as also that on Eduscat ion. W blieve our delegation were somewhat divided :the election of Senator, every man voting indepen antly for the candidate of his preferene; and this the best rule of voting yet discovered. -Doubtless, oy are all contented with the result. The bulk of se people certainly will be. Our members are non-committal men in matters of action. We hope they will stick to this. Every leg lator should reserve his decision in these things, at ut until the whole issue in question is fully made. Is only thus, that he can do full justice to himself ud to hisconstituents. And so we bid good evening to the Bdgefield dele tion, hoping they will have a pleasant time for the lance of the session, and come home hearty enough eat a turkey gobbler.a piece for their Christmas p' The "Mosuntains Echo," lately published at artanburg, S. C., has died away in the distace and I SENATOR CHESNUT. The choice of Col. Cucasui,-as the colleaguo of lenator HAaOND, is creditable to the discretion and udgment of our Legislature. Without any such bility as usually pertains to leading statesmen, the iew senator is yet a man of clever parts in an intel octual point of view. In character, he is admirable. [n his political inclinations, he is sound and conserva ive. In Inanners, he is bland and affable without a ouch of sycophancy. In sentiment, he Is liberal and dlevated. Such being. the complexion of the man, he >ught to be a great favorite. And indeed ha is so. Every one who becomes acquainted with Col. Cuss N oT, is apt to like him. - His prepossessing address and fine tone of feeling will 'tell' any where. They will Loll in Washington City, and in the Senate of the Union. They will reflect honor, too, upoun the State of South Carolina. In speaking thus of the-new Senator, there is no de sign of throwing his mental ability Into the shadow of his other qualifications. It Is at least equal to that of his more active competitors for the Senatorship. Col. CHESNVT makes up, in cautious circumspection, wha, he lacks in brilliancy- of genius. His inental powers are such as will give to his political acts the iapress of wisdom, if not of originality. Perhaps this is the very order of intellectual endowment best suited to the duties of a United States Senator. Just at this time, there Is especial need for the exercise of this inmportant faculty of caution In tho deliberations of the Federal Legislature. We therefore join with others In congratulating the Stato upon the election of Col. JASS.a CusNUT. It Is nuspicious of good. Side by side with the powerful strength of his wore matured colleague, the people m'y con1fidently expect that South Carolina, on the lour of the Senate of the Union, will contribute her full proportion of services in the, perilous contest of sections that now threatens so much of danger to free America. THE STA'E RJ fTS MANIFESTO. Upon our table is a pamphlet, purporiag o be an "Appeal to the State Rights Party of South Carolina in several letters on the Present Condition of Public Affairs," It is in reality nothing more than a re-pro. duction of the letters of oy, AsS, Mr. G REop, Mr. TnAnuVIVI., apd othepF, .rpttep last summer, ip re sponse to invitatlops received from the Committee of A .ra0ppents for the Iinuer given at this place in .coyplippnt ,g #on. 4 p.

Apotlbpr ppd aimed at, as we imagibe, was the promotlion of Gov. AnAMs to the lately acant Senatorship. The best answer to the pamphit, is the late action of the South Carolina Legislature, efusing to recognize the claims of Gov. A DAMS to theisiald Senatorship, and preferring a ipan fNV that pg4ghbq !.t: drsto to agree, in too, with Senator Aw[awga politipal principigs. We observe that *r. Gnao,, in his jlrpfaep, thus speaks of Governor D.tms's unflinching position on the Slave Trade quesilon: " General Adams' irst letter (to the Elgefleld Din nor) tApp4porn s eially the subject of the Afri can Slave Trade, be spap hp t.9qQ: the opportunity to defend himself against assaults recnnty y4p.49pop him; for, almost siujjtaneously with the telivery o General Hammond's Beech Island Speech, in which that ftnstor qeelred 4I oppositiop to the proposal to re-open the A!rivan ulayraler-a insupre which he had till so Into a prlOd approved of.-Mr. Orr ani Mr. Boyce took occasion to Lenounco it also, in terms and in a manner that Indicated unfriendly purpose towards General Adams.

We all think well of those two gentletan, They are true-hearted, firm, t'eaes propioaiti, and no doubt "look quickly through the deeds of men.' J$.u.t, like all others, they are liable to mistakes. Here, they have jna~s two very great mistakes: One is, the attempt to draw a party isnd in outh Carolina when no real differences exist. The other Is thie pun lication of this pamplhlet, however laudable and hon est the purpose. ~It Is a causeless attack upon our Senator, and i only tendency is to beget heart-burn inga for future distraction. GUBERNATORIAL. This sesquipedal adjective is much bigger than the office in South Carolina to which it applies, at this time. Gubernatoried aurhority has almost as much sound as polinphloiuboioltulusa; but it does not re alize to the mind any such sense of miijesty and re sistless power. The fact is, we are coming to think too little of this office. Our first men are not placed in it often enough. The consequence is, very few of them now are disposed to seek it. This does not look exactly well in State Rights mien. We ought to think mare than we do of the position of Governor and Commander-in-chif-in-and-over-a-Sovereign-Stat. .We ought to increase the salary and (if practicable) the power of the position. And especially ought we to compel our men of first rate ability to tako it and elevate it by their genius. The probability is, that Col. J.rEs mr, of Lau rens, will be elected Governor this session. His oppo nents are Mr. Gist of Union and Mr. I. D. WILsoY of Darlington. We suspoct the old Colonel has. the in side track. THE SEASON,--RUTII. Another winter Is come to sprinkle again the " fros ty paws" of all the old John Anderson-my-jo's. What he may add to, or take from, the check of youth and beauty, remains to be seen. Let us hope tha t ho will deal gently with all,-thie aged as the young, the poor as the rich, the weak as the robust. And in this glo rious sabbath-day there is an ernest of this expecta tion. How splendid, the sky ! How royal, the upper air ! Hiow genial, the sun ! It is as though Decem-. her had exchanged places with October; as though Autumn were determined to take his three months fairly out. Such being the situation of affairs, Rlurum's beauti ful verses an the "4utumn Time " are not this week out of place. See them. They are good both ins sen timent and construction. IG9 PRICES OP NEGROES. From Richmond to New Orleans, the accounts of the high prices of negroes are truly remarkable. A writer in Dello. thinks they will probably never again be cheaper. So much for the value and perma nene of the in-ati-la-hion.. "na noo-edidrts F'aith, Hope, Charit,---these T hree." It was eansaodf eaagemopt o an intelligent young friend of ours lately, to see In the nick-ra1s4r A4'gg azine, a remark of Its old editor, to the effect f' that he had never knaown (until the Sunday before) that "charity " in the above text had any other meaning than alms..giving." " My heavens'i" observed oar frientd,-"are intelli gent Christian amon at the North so far in the rear of true knowledge? Have they no evangelical preach. irs? or are the hearers always asleep ?" Nothing occurredl to us calculated to relieve his serplexity, and we bade the young gentleman good1 aernting.1 But this much we would say sub rosa to our ancient 'otemporar-y: Beware how you blunder out again such n acknowledgment, or the good people down here ril begin to. think that the "old Kniek " has been. a closer commauilon with the "old Harry " than 'he ad'nt ought to be RSP The "Rule Westera Guide," published at ~ulo, Nebraska Territory, has found its way to our anetum, anid is quit. a welcome visitor from thme THE LEGISLATURE The Proceedings of the Legislature arc continued - apon our firiat page from the point at which we had irrived in the last issue. A considerate correspon- CO lent helps us to bring the intelligence down to Sat.-an irday morning last. Let the reader have a little pa. tienco and he shall certainly be supplied with all the begislative Information worth knowing, and a good Jual not worth knowing. It has come to be about as necessary to tell the people what the Legislature did ,ot do, as what it did do. Otherwise, they would not obtain a suC.rient account of the wisdom and lack-of- BI wisdom displayed by their Legislative servants. Of tw the present Legislature we must however remark, in to the general, that they are a capital body of fine- tit looking and efficient men; and we know, almost as fe well as we know anything, that the Commonwealth is safe in their keeping. The talent of the House is nu to be fouund among the men who have just reached the full maturity of life; Yet there are some old members, without whom the wheels of Legislation would drag for a while,-tho invaluable chairman of of the Committee of Wlaorys and Means, for instance. But the present generation of Carolinians,-men from ai 35 to 45 years of ago,-occupy the seats of power th and Influence; the old non (so it will ever be!) are lit passing away. Well, they have served their tihno well and faithfally. Let the young men eomo on the tupie. There's no help for it,-they are on it already. C Now fur Afteen or tw.nty years of generous rivalry among thon, and then they too go upon the shelf. L Then will As,nucu, McGowAN and Muza,xs, Bont. A STOn, RICHARDSOn and HAxI'roY, JoussoN, WILSOn w if and McC.%w, GisT, GAntaxUTON and SuxoNs, and a others einually ,ucrilariune, all go to the shelf and th give place to those quick.eyed young men who are et now watching their manouvroe and intending to do a so likewiso before long. Ono excellent feature this is, which our Legislature always presents,-a plenty of young and sound and strong material out of which to make up future Legislatures.

Of necessity, the pen is made stiff and the hand art, in writing obituaries. This is the excuse offered >r the following meagre account of the death of AMES BLACKWELL, Esq. le'died at his residence in Edgefield District, in in iorning of the 28th Nov., a few days over the -th year o his age. .

It has pileased the will of an Aliwise Providence in the dispensation of his benign mercies, as if to make us aware of his eternal presence, to place a heavy and afiliuting hand upon this community, by severing~ rom among our throng this kind and very dear friend. Mrs. CuivntAx has been a member of the Gilgal Batist Church for more than 24 years, andI in the performance of those duties which are pertaining tu Christianity, she has over acted conscientioua of bar. ng to her utmnost ability. Amuiled her duty. 11cr phere was one of grent usefulness-" the naked came, nd she clothedi them; the hungry came, and she fed hem." She strove for no fame; she was ambitions or no honor, other than the filial love of affectionate bildren, and to merit the praise of an indulgent and oving husband, - 1er highest aim on earth, was to >ronlIpt tbp ponmfort, welfare, and happiness of her usband and childlran. Three sons, now arrived at ho age of maturity, andi an only daughter, deeply en! mind mourn their loss. We humbly pray that God iii mrake their afiietion light to hear; give the hmus and and father that tender consolation which he ay xpect to receive as a phristian ; deal with them gent. y ; make them to know that what is their loss is the nother's gain ; guide them-hold over them a gear. lian influence, and keep them in the right and true ourse of life. "We saw thee sline In youth and woman's pride, And virtue's light that beams beyond the spheres ; But like the sun elips'd at nmorning tide, Thou ieft'st darkling in a world of tears.
