The population of the District in 1350 was 10,988 of this number there were 2,888 white males, and 2,961) white females. Free colored?males, 01; females 56.? Slaves?males, 2,514; females 2,500. In the village of Lmcnstcr there were 111 males, white, and 93 f.nia'es; in; king 207. Free colored 2 males, and 3 females.? .Slaves 07 trades, and 97 females. In Iauicasler district during the year ending June 1, 1850, there were 2S8 births, including whites, free colored and slaves; and 71 marriages? vv bites. 'I here were 145 deaths.? Dwellings numbered 1,090?families 1,096. There weic 24 public seluols, and 509 pupils. The annual income $3,520 Under the head of Academies and ether schools, we find I .at; caster blank.

We do not mean to deprecate the districts We w ould like to arouse public attention t< the necessity of providing a remedy.

Cool. McQueen is looking well, and it is gratifying to his i well pleased contituents to know that al* though assiduously devoted to business and ' over watching the interests of tho South, through the late protracted session of Con* press, ho comes among us in the full vigor of body and mind. We will by no nieansjronsent that the I.edger shall become a parti/an sheet for Geu'l. McquEBN in tho present contost between Col. Wilson and himself. It would i not be jnstiee to Col. Wilson. But tho services of Gen'l. McQueen to the country deserv edly bring him into notice as a states- i man and he being our immediate representative, and having faithfully served us, we feel tli at we are privelvdgisi tv> speak ef him as he d< serves, w ithout being liable to the charge of electioneering. Nay more it is but an act of justice to Gcnl. Mcqtteen, and lie has a right to require of us as a journalist to notice his public life. Not otqy he but our readers have the same right. Gcnl. Mcqueeii has now been in Congress I six years, and has rcprcpresonted liis constituency to their entire satisfaction. Not one word of objection to his political course lias lu-en urged, hut all admit him to be 01thordox in his political faith, and faithful and indefatigable in his exertions to serve I tiiose whom he represents. These facts 1' coupled with his well known mental ability and general information, render liirn no ordinary man and entitle him to tho thanks of the country. Genl. McQueen was in this Distrut sonic four days. I hiring thnt timo Ik? addressed a largo concourse of our pvoplc in a speech of groat nhility. Kvcry person with whom we conversed, spoko of it as such- The Gctil. made no clVort at display, but seemed 1 [ only striving to give information?just such 1 i a speech as we want our representative al* " ways to n like when he visits us. ' The Genl. also visited our Wax haw country, and had a view from a distance, ol I the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. We un derstand thnt with the farms there and the * face of the country he was well pleased. (hi Wednesday night of his stay, some i young gentlemen of the village got up n " serenade for the Cien. This sort of episode ' was no doubt agreeable after the labour of 3 three days spent in innkii g spceehea, acquaintances and visiting places. The young s gentleman called for the Genl. and he wilS ling to humor the foy* appeared and made ? them a short but very hnndsoinc speech. A 1 friend who was present and ompetent to H the task, of reporting, has enabled us to lav r it before our readers : it is as followers. ' General McQueen said, s Young Gentlemen :?When so great n v man as Daniel Webster appeared in dishsbile a to respond to not so h'gli n compliment as 8 the one I have been honored with to-night, ' I trust you will excuse me when I so np'* pear before you. I can but feebly return my sincere thanks for this additional mark ~ of your kindness and confidence. A few days since, I entered into your district, an ^ entire stranger.but every where have I been met with open I ands and open hearts. ~ Since my arrival among you, I have visited 0 places renowned in history, and have travel I led over revolutionary ground.

Farewell! Farewell! 0 Charleston and the Fall Trade. f We infer from what the RtanAarA says 6 that the coming season will be an unusually * busy one in Charleston. Merchants it says ^ are buying in large stoeke of goods, larger * stocks than erer Itcfore. Very good! We ' arc glad to hear it. It is in the power of > | Charleston merchants to "drive a brisk trade" if they chose to. About a year ago, 1 we usscrtod that certain eommercinla articles, a too greater tariff vvrs bud on?we have been more confirmed in this opinion ' since. What we desire to say n few words about, is of a different nature. We c<.n point to some of the most respectable whole' sale bouses in Charleston, where, if you purchase in person, you can buy goods at fair prices, but whtft yon or ltr, you are taxed so ' h'gh, it is almost imposible from the sole of the articles to realist* what you first paid.?

A* regards j indulgence. we believe the merchant* of # ,1s. ; Jrc aA && yf-\ \ t * m,' Charleston aio more indulgent, disposed to give longer erodit, than the merchants ol Baltimore, Philadelphia,or New York. Bui we persist in what we asserted a year ago that for certain articles thoy are disposed to charge too high n profit. We will vouch that many a country merehant has been driven from Charleston merely on acrtflftil of the prices of Hardware. let Charleston merchants put their prices down, we do not say as low as New Yort hut as low adding a certain per cent for e> penees, and at once will native Carolinian! patronize their native metropolis, instead o seeking a market in a inoro northern lati tude.
