t . .I'l g= hna shed upon them, the State and the country at large, by the proud position which he has won. South Carolina Historical Society. omouL asroRT. The first quarterly meeting of this Society was held at the Charleston Library, on Monday, 80th instant. The bnsiness of the Society consisted principally in reading the correspondence which has taken place on the occasion of its recent organization. Interesting communications were received from Mr. J. K. Tift, of Georgia, Dr. J. G. M. Ramsay, of Tennessee, and Mr. Thomas GaillarJ. of Alabama, who bad been enrolled among the corresponding members of the 1 Society. All these letters exhibit the 1 warmest sympathy with the 8ociety, and are calculated to encourage those who have associated themselves together for the purpose of rescuing from oblivion the early and fast fading records of our past. Mr. Gaillard's letter was heard with deep interest. Of an ancient Hugenot family, it is known that he has devoted much time to the preparation of the history of that portion of the French Reformers who made Carolina their home. Ilia letter notices the work, and ho assigns as the reason for the delay of its publication, | his inability, by reason of his distance < from Carolina, to expose tlio errois which he has detected in the statements of our older historians. In his last visit to Carolina, in 1817, he found ample and valuable materials for exposing these errors, particularly in the Bureau of Wills, in which are deposited the original Wills, of the French emigrants. From documents found in this Bureau, he is able to establish the fact, that the Hugenot Church in Charleston existed before the year 1087. This is an earlier date than any writer has assigned to its existence. Another error, originating with Dr. Humphrey, ho has also been ab'e to corlect. It is generally supposed that the Rev. P. C. Ricliebourg was Ilugcnot minister on the Santec. lie has ascertained that Pierre Robert was the first clergyman, and that that congregation never became a part of the Established Church UStil 1720, when the Rev. Mr. Pouderons was sent (here by the Bishop of London. This U an important correction, lor the general opinion is that in conformity with tho provisions of the Act of Assembly, all the country Huguenot churches joined the Establishment in 1800. Mr. Gaiilard slates an interesting historic doubt, viz: whether tho Ilugnenot aliens were ever naturalised. Bancroft and others have asserted that they were all enfranchised by the Act of Assembly of 1691. Mr. Qaillard thinks that that Act was special in its operation, and that the great mass of the Refugees were never fully enfranchised. This opinion is confirmed by the examination of the subsequent Acts of Assembly. Tho foregoing extract of the substance of Mr. Gaillard's letter, conveys but a faint idea of the interest excited by the perusal. A letter trom Dr. William n. Simmons, ' of Florida, was read, Whereupon it was unanimously. Retolwti, That Dr. Simmons be elected < a corresponding member of this Society. Some interesting manuscripts relating ! to the war of the Revolution, were pre- j aented by Dr. Peter Porcher. They consist of: ].

Moat of three < papers I think, have never been seen by ar.y of ow hUtonana. Beside* a Jnt of every record in Kngtand relating to the i firat thirty year* of oar history, I have foil * ** mm - i copies of the most interesting, such as com missions, instructioni and letters to th< Governors and the Grand Council, tlx temporary and agrarian laws,&c. I hav also been permitted to u?e the origina extracts made by Chalmers from the Col onial records from 1003, to the Revolution and on the basis of which he wrote bii political annals and revolt of the Americai Colonies. These papers enable one no only to corrert numerous errors in our his tory, but to add to it much that is nev and interesting. "I shall at present only mention tw< points which I have ascertained. Tlx first relates to the Fundamental Constitu tions. Those which are published in th statutes at large as the first set, are th second. The first set was dated July 21 1669, and did not contain the clause rclat ing to the introduction of the form of tlx Church of England. They were fairl; engrossed on parchment, and were receiv ed and subscribed by the settlers, as thci doing so was necessary to naturalizatioi and the tenure of lands. The second set dated March, 1670, was received in th Province in February, 1673, and rejected The majority of tho early settlers wen dissenters from tho Church of Knglaix To a letter to Mr. llancroft, (in which wroto minutely on this subject) he replies that he considered it a discovery whicl 'sheds n flood of light on the long nm passionate strife between the Church fac lion and the dissentors.' "The other discovery is, that tho firs arrival of the English Colonists in thi State, occurred at Port Royal on the I7t day of March, 1670. This fact I hav found from MSS., which have been in oti midst since 1072." It was resolved, That tho proceeding of this Society be published in the journal of the city, and that the journals througl out tho State be requested publish ther also. The Society then adjourned. F. A. PORCHER, Ree. Secretarj [From tho Chicago Tribune. Legislative Precocity. In the early history of tho State c Indiana, Sullivan County, a portion c the Stato famed for its 'nflexible adhei ence to Democracy, elected Sol.

As soon as his eye fell upo Mr. Tunnan,hc addressed him: "Ah, Mr. Turnian, what is the populatio of your county ?" Mr. Turman, liken entirely by turprit ?"Sir, we have scarsely no poplar in th county ; the t'mber is all oak, hickoi; birch and maplo, with a very small chanc of poplar in the bottom." Mr. Speaker.?"You misundorstan me. What is thecensus of your county! Mr. T. very batty tea red.?"Oh, the have no senses. They are a damned ig norant set I assure you !" An enthusiastic member from Cla County immediately invited Mr. Turtna out to drink. It was no relation of Mr. Turnian' although a man hearing the same name who, making his maiden speech whil canvassing tho county for election to th Legislature, affirmed to his constituent that if elected he would "subserve thei interests to the best of his skill and abi itv ? v * ^ Know Hothingicm?Unionism.
