ARTEUR SIUINS, EDITOIL WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1859. Hail Storm. Our Hamburg correspondent says: " On Friday the 22nd we had a heavy hail-storm. The hail stones were unusually large, and did some injury to the growing crops in this vicinity. On Satur day morning there was fro't." An Augusta paper states that the hail fell larger and thicker than they had ever before seen, breaking the strongest glass in the sky-lighted rooms of the city. They were large enough " to kill birds, and did kill pigeons." Southern Cultivator. This valuable agricultural publication for May has been received. It is under the editorial man agement of Dr. DANIE. L and D. REDWOND, Esq., and is published at the low price of one dollar a year. Wx. S. Jonxs, publisher, Augusta, Geor gia. It Is now, as ever, an excellent journal, and should be well sustained by the Southern public. Dean & Coleman. See the advertisement of a bran new village firm. Mr. CorsAwr has been engaged in merohandising for several years on the Saluda side of our District, mad Is well known to the people over there as an accomodating and capable dealer. Mr. Diex is known both here and elsewhere as one of our most energetic, attentive and gentlemanly citizens, and every way qualified for success in the mercantile business. We wish the new houso many years of prosperity. Give them a good start by a generous lift at the outset of their carer. . Their store is filling up with admirable goods suited to the trade. From Europe. The Arabia reports a slight decline in cotton. The prospect of war on the continent was again threatening. Both Austria and France were still actively preparing for the struggle. " The next breeze that sweeps from the East" ha-you know the rest. To Newberry. By some clumsy bunglingof the memory editorial, we find that we have omitted, for two whole weeks, to state, that Edgefleld at once took up the glove thrown down by Newberry for a game of Chess, to be played by Horse mail, between the chess oham pious of these two immortal Districts, and that our champions now stand ready for the fray. In the language of a gentleman supposed to have lived and flourished at one time somewhere within the confines of old Sootia, they say: " Come on, McDuf; And damn'd be he who first cries " Hold,-Enul.' Let loose your dogs of war;-sound your clarion of alarm;-Iing your banners to the breeze; far flash your red-artillery;-and take tho move as soon as you pleas.. We are authorized to give you that chance and to ask that you will at once promulgate the altered position of your first-in. terrupted piece in as plain terms as the fogginess of your Bmotian atmosphere will permit. Dutch is expressly interdicted throughout the conflict. And now, fair gentlemen of Newberry, have at ye! And while Apolle shall guard the right, may Mercury speed the Horse Mail! Terrible Massacre. A massacre scarcely less thrilling than was that of Dade's command, is just reported from the Texas frontier. Capt. FOnD and forary-seren gal laat rangjere were surrounded in camp by eight hundred warriors of the'hostile tribes, aud refusing to surrender, all of them were butchered except the Captain and four inen who succeeded in cut ting their way through. The fight is said to have bosn a terrible one; and the unfortunate company were only overpoweredat last by tremendous odds. Great excitement was prevailing in Travis and adjoining counties, and it is supposed that a large volunteer force will start immediately to take ven geance on the savages.. Recruita for Cuba. The Augusta Diapatck Iearns that a recruiting agent for a Cuban expedition is in that city. Some of the young men about town, tired of loafing, arc trying to catch up the enthusiasm. Has Edgefleld any such drones to spare? If so, here's their chance for "liberty or death." Floral Fair in Charleston. Please refer to the announcement of a FLOR AL FAIR, to be given by the true-hearted ladies of Charleston in a short time, its object being to in crease the fund for building the CALaova Mos.c xzsT. This fund has now reached the amount of $30,000. The ladies propose to add as much as possible to that amount during the present season ad then to begin the work. The moneys thus far raised are held in safe and remunerative invest ments, whence they can be drawn forth for use at any day. Our best wishes arc with our sister citizens in their present genial Spring-tide effort. No one who is going to town shortly will fail to attend the Floral Fair. We think many of the yiung gentlemen might make a point to go for this occasion expressly. Certain it is, that they would be greeted by woman's loveliest smiles ; and where is there a bachelor " with soul so dead," as not to go a thousand miles (if he could) for such a moced. Then starch up and hasten to the Fair. G3o soc the roses of Charleston; perhaps ye may chance to gather a flower that will make you ever bless the day when you hcoded the call of the daughters of Calhoun. Will not our ladies also pleas. notice thc an nouncement, and mark the request made for con tributions to the Fair? The Southern Convention. It is manifest that the Southern Convention, soon to assemble at Vieksburg, MississippI, will be largely attended by able delegations from all the Southern States. We trust there will be a -general attendance on the part of the representa tion named by his Excellency, Gor. Gzsv, for South Carolina. If suflcient prudence and politi cal wisdom be brought to bear, In that assemblage, to temper and enlighten the Impetuosity of South era blood, it may be one of the means of arraying the South on high and strong ground before the country. Whatever is attempted should proceed with the calm gravity demanded by the perils of our position. Enemies in the Ranch. The Austin Stats Gazette reports a gang of "wblves in sheep's clothing" in Fannin County, Texas. The impudence of fanatics will dare do a good deal. But the Texans are net disposed to allow their stupid folly Its free course, at least on the nigger question. See an extract from the afore-mentioned Gazette. It seems that tar and feathers are in demand in Fannin. We hope there will be a plenteous supply of the articles shortly, and that they will be used liberally. It appears that a northern association of Metho dists have been sent out to Fannin from one of the *New England States. Bishop Jayne and his min isters assembled in Conference at Timber Creek on the 18th March last. They refuse connection with the Southern Church on account of its support of the slave institution, and publicly proclaim incen diary statements in the midst of the slave popula tion. A meeting of three hundred citizens assembled at Bonham, and after speeches from Gen. Green and Judge Roberts, denouncing this abolition nest of traitors, suitable resolutions were adopted end ngwith the motto--" Peaceably! If we can--forci blif we must." Fifty responsible men wetted on teBishop, and the resolutions were duly read to him. We have not heard the sequel, but we prefer the latter alternative of the foregoing motto. Ao tien l We would rather se ahundred sech dogs bleed than one vietim of a slave insurreotion. Agricultural. Turn to the grst page of the present Issue, for some original touches about farming.

The prospectus of this forthcoming literary pa per has been issued some weeks. As the time of Its publication is now drawing near, we take occa sion to herald the circumstance to our readers with more of prrtioularity than we have hitherto done. The Courant will be based on a secure founda tion and will not be dependent for its maintenance upon Its subscription list only. The Messrs WAL Emn, who undertake its proprietorship, have both the skill and the meaus required fur the success of an enterprize like this. The public may therefore rest assured that the new Literary sheet will not be a mushroom thing to live for a year and then pass away. On the contrary, as we are informed, no paper of the kind has been started at the South under safer auepices. In subscribing to journals of this character, one likes to feel that he is about to aid (and be aided by) sumuething that will be permanent as well as good. This may be calcula ted upon in the present instance. Of -its merits as a literary exponent of our sec tion, it is impossible to speak with certainty until it shall have given proof of its metal. But we confidently anticipate, in the Courant, a delightful family visitor, that will come every week freighted with the fairest specimens of truth and beauty. The chief ground of this expectation is the high character and admitted cleverness of its editor, Mr. HOWARD 11. CALDWELL,-a gentleman already Identified with American literature by poetical productions of much excellence, and whose name will (we doubt not for a moment) become dear to the ear of Southerners by its editorial connection with the present litarary enterprize. In addition to Mr. CALDWELL's classic pen, a host of able con tributors are expected to make the Courant'# col umns the medium of social, moral and literary converse with our people. The following well known Southern writers have expressed to the Editor and Proprietors their sympathy with the enterprise and their intention to contribute: Hon. A. B. Meek, President Longstreet, A. J. Requier, Professor Le Conte, The Abbe Roquetto, Professor La Borde, John W. Overall, Professor Rivers, Hon. C. Gayarre, Professor Venable, Dr. 0. B. Mayer, Professor Reynolds, John R. Thompson, Professor Baruwell, Paul H. Hayne, Professor Du Pro, IV. M. Martin, Madame La ntrt, Mrs. Caroline Glover, Mrs. M. Martin, Miss Sallie Ada Reedy, Mifs Augusta Evins, Henry Timrod, J. Wood Davidson, 0. M. Lieber. There are, upon that list, poets, tale writers, journalists, &c., of the true stamp. Marx, MAYR, HArlo, LoN~sTaRET, Lz VERT and LA BoRDE, are of themselves a galaxy whose presence would give the rainbow hues of delight to any literary work, in any literary circle. Many others there are upon the list scarcely inferior to those we name. Many more literateurs of merit too will doubtless be in duced to enter the inviting portals of the Courant's sanctum. And thus may its pages be ever bedecked with gems of Southern thought and Southern feel. Ing. Thus, like the Home Journal of the North, may it be set "for the cultivation of the memora ble, the progressive, and the beautiful," in South. ern life and South experiences. - We espebially colnmend this paper to our lady readere. Begin with the first number. Help it to bud, as well as to blossom and bear fruit; And then will you find pleasure hereafter in saying that you were one of the first to foster the Con. rant'. initiation amony the literary enterprizes of South Carolina. Address Wit. W. WAI.KER, Jr., & Co., Columbia S. C., enclosing tiwo dollare. A Farewell Nip. JAcK Pnosr came back again on Saturday morn lug last and gave us a farewell nip. lie touched very lightly this time, and took his leave the same day with a good grace. We wish the old fellowr a afc journey around thc North Pole, and will not look for him again until the 5th or next Novecmber. That Circus. The first Circus company that has ever exhibi ted in Edgefield, without advertising in the Die. triet paper, came along last Saturday. It is called BucarLar's CRaCUS ;--waa never heard of in these parts before, and, it is hoped, will never be heard of again. As soon as we ascertained that they did not intend advertising, we knew something was " rotten in the State of Buckley." And, sure enough, our prognostics were exactly true. The music wagon was so rotten, it broke down in the loins before getting here; the circus pole could not stand up against a strong puff of April wind the brass instruments were defective and the in. strumentalists more so. We dixd not of course at tend the exhibition; but from those who did, we learn that it was the poorest show of this or any other season. And, as might be expected, the toll-gate keeper of the Edgefild & Hamburg Plank Road was after them the next clay with a sharp stick for non-payment of toll. Such is a sample of those who are too stingy tc advertise in the papers. Rlichland Morality. The State at large has often had cause to upraid the public men of Richiand District for their wretchedly corrupt method of electioneering. It is vain to tell us, that it is none of our business, and~ that we would do better to curs our own faults. The corruption of the ballot-box iis a crying eril, and one which should be dlenouced in every coom mowealth by the cotmon voice of that commuon wealth, however covertly (in a corner or in aifork) it may be done. In. South Carolina, this eni scarcely exists outside of Richland Distric. But there, it has repeatedly assumed a shape of evil well calculated to tarnish the boasted honor und indepondlence of our proud Pasmetc... Will not the morality, the virtue, the intelligene, and the Christianity of our capital eity ri..o and mnake cow. men cause against this infamous evi ? We copy somne just remarks of the Columbia Buuetin in regard to the late election of Sherifi for Richland: The election held in this City yesterday was prceded and attended wih SCeesi disreputale to any community, and it matters anut with us who may have been the authors or abetto~rs o'f suc-h scenes,/they and their sets deserve the conemna tion of every orderly member of s'eciety. During the entire day-Sunday-a speeces of diserdler amounting to a disregard for the d..y and decency. was clearly manifested by the assembling of crowds about the corners anel other places. On Monday morning men were brought to the. polls like sheep that had been prepared for the shambles and marched to the box with tickets supplied them In public, and as mete automtos, they deposited their vote, without any eeeminmg regard for the person for whom they were voting. We have heard of "Bull-pons" in Columnbia, and disgraceful scenes enacted by those engaged in that sort of electioneering, but, never witnessed anything of that sort. All of the purchaseable material were brought into the City from the surrounding country, and furnished quarters and board with any quantity of bald face, until their votes wore deposite.1, when they were turnedloose on the community, degraded. and in a few eases drunk, and disorderly. There is a great resposibility resting some where, and we have no doubt that it will be sensibly felt ; for upoen the heads of those who inaugurated this degraded, wretched plan for obtaining votes, ought the cen. sures of the respectable portion 'of society to rest. We do not know who were the piarties engaged in the conduct we have denoneid, but many respec table citizens who witnessed it, have expressed their disapprobation, meriting, as it does, the reprobation of every good citizen. The Bulletia goes on to call for help in abating this mischievous spirit of corruption, and to this end asks that the Legislature take in charge the election of Sheriff, Ordinary, and other similar eletions that now come before the people. If the Bmlletia means to extend this Legislative shield all over the State, we demur and that very loudly. If he means only Rie'lad, we have not so much to say. But why not also give the election of Senator and Representativee to the Legislature ? Would it not be bettor to make a "clean sweep" while you are at the work ? Seriously though, It Is due to the people of South Carolina, that inch corruption should be energetically soppreasoed in a city where their colleges are located, where their laws are enacted from year to year, and towards which the good people of other States look as the exponent of Carolina integrity. Holding Africans. The Grand Jury in the Circuit Court at Savan na on yesterday (says the Dispatch of Saturday) found true bills against NEtsoN T. TROWsaRWOR, JoN DUBlooN, and ilawur DUBImoN, for hold. g and abetting the holding of Africans. Caues against Jonu B. Maouo.wmrad Tua. Busxa ...a..iaersmaq. mu.f~mm A Handsome Establishment. In going through the furniture rooms of Mouro. WITT & Hlunsox the other day, we could but say to ourself,-" Well, surely this is as handsome an establishment as the interior of South Carolina can afford, if not equal in many respects to city houses of the same description." We so said, be cause we were really surprized at the beautiful lot. of furniture so well displayed, especially. in the: principAl room fronting on the Public Square and' adjoining Mr. JOHN COLGAN's Tailoring Store. Really, it is a eight worth seeing; and we recom mend every ue to go there and make an inslpce tion. WITr & lensos's assortment of chairs, tables, sofas, whatnots, bureaus, sideboards, French bedsteads, &c., is very attractive. There also may be found writing-desks and secretaries of the.most approved todels, and a few of the most elegant wardrobes we have ever seen. Various other things may be seen at these well-supplied rooms. But go, all, and see for yourselves,-especially the ladies who have to keep our houses decent and in order,-and how can they do this if the 'gude men' will not supply them with neat furniture. Go to WiTy's, and give him a fair trial. Retmem brr, he has been unlucky and is now making a manful effort to recover. Encourage his hopes with a portion of your patronage. It is all he asks. The Mississippi Democracy. The Mississippi papers are reporting the pro ceedings and resolutions of county Demooratio meetings recently held in all parts of the State preparatory to the Democratic State Convention. They breathe the truest Southern spirit throughout. They repudiate DoCaOAs and his heresies with in. dignant vehemence, and extol the gallant JEr. DAvis as the man for the times. They commend President BucBAmAN for whatever he has done in accordance with sound Democratic doctrine, atl hesitate not to condemn him in every departure therefrom. There is an earnestness and indepen dence about these resolutions, fresh from the peo. ple that they are, which cheers one with the hope that the day is not distant when the South will combine to make a final stand for complete present justice, as well as security for the future, at the hands of the Federal Laegislature,-or else demand a dissolution of the present government and an equitabl.division of the common property. When that stand shall be firmly taken, then will our po litical elouds vanish and all be safe. Nine cheers to the Mississippi Democracy for placing so spirited an example before the South! 6 0 4 The Mail Service. It will appear in a few days that the Mail Service of the Union has been greatly reduced, in conse quence of fhe refusal by Congress to make the necessary appropriation for the exigencies of the Post OfficeDepartment. In the So4thwest Division of the service, composed of the States from Ala. bams to Texas inclusive, the reduction will take efeotimmediately. And in the Southern Division, embracing our own State, the reduction will occur in June, when the eiisting contracts expire. The measure is a Cabinet one, forced on by the diffieul ties oreated by the non-action of Congress. The work has been extensive, and will be administered without fear, affection or favor. Many daily routes have been reduced to tri-wcekly ones; tri-weeklies to weeklies; and some altogether discontinued. Many decapitations in office too are taking place, a number of special mail agents having been al ready discharged and the official service otherwise diminished. .Lt may be expected that a storm of discontent will roar about the President's ears. But the people should remember that he is not to blame. Let them ask their Representatives why all this has comne about. They, not the Preident, are the respommlbio party. Ans Elegant Store. It is really a treat (says the Augusta DiepatcA,) to visit KAr'FPEnu's Dry Goods Emporium under the Augusta Hotel. Hei has recently onlarged his salesroom, making it the largest of its kind in the city, and his shelves are laden with an immense stock. By the free use of Printer's ink, KAUIrran has become a household word throughout all the region tributary to Augusta. How to Raise Turkeys. We have before us a diet for young turkeys, transmitted all the way from Noxubie County, Mississippi. It is said to be the food used for them by an old lady in those parts who raises four and five hundred turkeys every year for the New Or leans market. Echo rays, mark it: "Bake an ash-cake with onions or eseballots chopped up in it, and without salt. Crumble and mix with curd, and feed as abundantly as you please." This is very like a plan we used the year we raised a flock of forry-nine ; but we always commenced by cram ming down the infant biped's throat a full grain of black pepper on the day of its hatching. Can our agricultural friends over there on Page First say any thing germane to the matter ? Or have we antd the old lady of Noxubie exhausted the subject ? " The Dying Minstrel." Under this caption, Mr. Wzz.uczs, present editor of Porter's Spirit of thme T'immee, once recorde$ the death of a banjo-player in California ;-it was poor Tox Bniass of Cunisatr's celebrated band. The following extract front that record is a speci men of beauty and pathos seldom surpassed in this difficult department of literary composition. St-aarrs sketch of Loforros death-scene is scarce ly more touching: 'The evening performanci' that followedl the funeral ceremno:Iy wa.s a doleful oine. 'For omy part.' said Ilorn, the bone-player. - [scar-ely knew Wazat I wats abouit. Tm iand I had travelled to gether for years, andi it senmed to lme as if 1 hail lust a b'rothmer. All my main busimess onm the stage was dlono with him ; and whmen I looked around, in the middle of my perf-rmnce. and found a strange face alongside of mue, in plaece of his, nnd rernembered that .1 had just helpedl to put him in the ground, I near a'most 'broke down.'' . . 'Al.! gentlemen, youn 'll never see the like of poor Tom Briggs again-you 'Il not ! lie was different from most other players. They seldonm take anmy pride in their bosiness; they do n't study ; andm they 're generally satisfied with ammy cheap instn menmt they can get: imut Tom, was werry pairtienilar, lie never stoid upon the price of a banujo; anid when he got a good one, be was always studlying some way to ornament it, and imnprove it. Hec bad a light one and a heavy one, for different kinds of work: anid he played so strong, that he had to got a piece of steel made for the end of his finger, as a asort of shield like, to prevent his tearing off his nail, Hie was worry fond of playing the heavy one ; amid, when we were coming up the coast, he would sometimes strike his strongest notes, and then turn round to me so proud, and say: "Ah ! Eph., what 'll they think, up there, when they hear the old Cremona speak like that 1' ' It didi not make any difference even when he took sick. He played away all the same. But after he got here, be could play only on the light one. He used to have it hanging aainst the wall, so as be could reach it in hed. 'a t any time you went in, you'd hear him talking to the old Cremona, as he called it. and making it talk hack to him. But Ly'm-by, he got so weak he could scarcely hold on to it: and I have sat by his Jbed and watched him till the sound became so faint it seemed as if he apmd the b'anjo were both falling into a dream. All the while he kupt a good heart, too, poor follow ! and we kept enmcouraging him along; and every now and then he would raise himself mup and say: ' Alt! how I '11 make 'em look a&round when I get strength onough, once more, to make the old banjo talk !' ' But at last Ito felt that be was going : and, after some straight, sensible talk, he told us, 'when ho dlied, to take tho twvo banjos and pack thenm up carefully, and send them home to his father and othter.' An hour tbufore lie wenmt lie asked mo to hand hinm his 'light Urensmina.' lie took a-hold of it. and looked at it fonr a uminute, as if he was looking at a person who ho was going to part with forever, and then he tried to hit it, but he could merely drop the weight of his thin fingers on the cords. There was no stroke to his touch at all. Hie could just barely make a aoundl, and that was so fine that it appeared to vanish away like the buss of a fly. It was so dim, that I do n't believe he heard it himself: and he dropped his handl, as if he gave it up. Then be looked at mc, as if he undertoomd every tihing In the world ; andl, shmak in his head, said : 'It 'a no use--hang it up, Eph.; I cannot hiti any more!l' Those were the last words that poor- Tom Briggs ever spmoke.' p- Tme greatest work which thou canst do is even this-that thou educatest thy child well.

The Darlington Flag, while copying certain ex. tracts which we published in regard to the AikenI affair, fails to present our statement of the circum stances refuting the tenor of those extracts. The Fl9g had rebuked the people of A:KxN In the mat ter. Was it because our statement in their behalf took off the point of that rebuke, that our friend of the Plag failed to give us (and Arce-) a showin . along with the aforesaid extracts ? We prefer 1p think that our neighbor, in his well-supplied num ber, only could not find room to present the alterarn partem. Yet was it, in effect, rather., a denial of a hearing to some of the Fliy's own low-citizens contiras enemies and abolitionists.

DnAir ('oi..-AII the musical world having been kept in a ferment by critical remarks-somne hypo critical we fear-in regard to the merits of Piceo loini. as a singer and artiste. we, pour, simple, country-folk, resolved to travel down to Columbia, to see, hoar, he enraptured, and-spend .our aur plus money !

I mind nme once to have seen in a Columbia pa per, an artice proclaiming the praises, the merits -it never could have done justice to the worth of the " Carolina mnocking-birdi !"

But, could she begin to command ho pecuniary omolument that has been cheerfully ictorded to this foreigner ? I blush to say the des is absurd! Yet it is the opiniom of many, who have heard our native cantatrico, and also istened.to this Italian, that "our own ased mock lig Bird was her superior." ,As for us, arot-being critics in music, we can not tssect each piece and show where the difference ie~s, hut'our.hearts still a.ckuowledge the inspira ion of her music even after the recollection of [taly's Princes has been vividly recalled to mind. PINEY LONESOME. For the Advertiser. Riches and Poverty. If rich, it is ca.y to conceal our wealth; but if poor, it is by no moans easy to conceal our pover ty. It is less difficult to hide a thousand dollars than one bol in our coat. It would be agreeable now for some individuals who have never had an )pportunity-of concealing their wealth, from the ract of their never possessing it, to have that op portunity afforded them. This they can readily ecure by. enclosing $10, $5, or $21, to Wood, Eddy & Co., Wilmington, Del., or Augusta, Ga. These respective amounts will entitle the writer to a whole, half, or quarter ticket in their great legal [sed lotteries, and perhaps to the capital prize of $50,000. These lotteriea were formerly under the respective management of Gregory & Maury, and Swan & Co., and are secured by charter from the States in which they areestablished.-N. Y. Times. 118. The Result of the Echo Case. The brig Echo (or Putnam) was captured last summer, off the coast of Cuba, by the United Statessloop-of-war Dolph in, with three hundred Africans on board. The Africans were returned to Africa by the government of the United States. The brig Echo was condemned, sold, and forfeited to the United States. And the crew of the Echo were in dicted for piracy underthe laws of the United States; and after a long and complete trial, the jury have brought in a verdict of not guilty. What considerations shall we suppose, then, moved a jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty ?" They must have yielded to one of two classes of considerations. The first is a want of proof of complicity. The pris oners were simple seamen. Knowing the ignorance -and want of foresight of these men as a class in society-knowing also the mode in which crews are collected very gen erally in the Atlantic ports, viz: they are gathered up by a ship-broker, and most fre quently sign their names, if they are learned or sober enou;h to sign, or make their marks, as in this case they did, without knowing or caring what voyage they were going upon, or even to what port they were bound. And especially in a business like this, would the Captain or Agent care little to inform the sailors of the nature of an adventure, in the trade; because the large profits of such busi ness to the owners, and the great peril to the persons and lives of the crew, would in duce them to demand extravagant wages. The ship's articles say the vessel (Putnam) was bound for the Iland of St. Thomas which is little more than a recruiting station off Africa--so that a knowledge of the nature of the expedition was not brought home to the accused. Or else the jury might not have gone so far into the specialty of thbe case, even as this. It is most probable they may have been sat isfied with thinking that it would be not only inconsistent, but cruel aand hypocritical for them, as members of a community where ayes are bought and soldl every day, and are as rmuch anti as frequent articles of coma merce as the sugar and molasses which they produce, to pass condemnation and a verdict of guilty of death upon miean whose only crime was that they were going to a far country, to bring in more supplies of these articles of trade, these commodities ; and in this case not even to trespass upon our soil, but to carry them to a foreign land-to Cuba -and merely throw them into the market of natione. It is most probable that thais was the indu cinag ground of the verdict, atnd if so, every other case will be the echto to this. Further frosecution Is Idle, expenive- and mai. Charleston Mercury.

BEAUTIF:.-The following lines are from the pen of George D). Prentice : " Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass away, and leave us to muse on faded loveliness ? Why is it that the stars that hold their nightly festival around the midnight throne, arc placed above the reach of our linitedl faculties, fover mockinag us with their unnpproaachuble glory? And why is it that the bright forms of human becauly are prisentedl to our view aind then take-n from us, leaving thme thouandm' streams. of nmIhetion to flow bacttk in almighty torrents upon the human ? We are born of a larger destinay than that of earth. 1There is a hldc where the stars will be set out becfore us like islands that slumber in the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that pass before us like a meteor, will stay in our presence forever.''
