Speaking of 111o decision in llie Dred ] Scot-. case, the Washington Union thus ; vindicates the Judges of the Supreme j Court of the United States from the charge that the majority were influenced bv interest in giving their decision : 4 Xotwithstanding all that has been said in Republican papers and by orators of that par tv, the in a j >rity 0 i lie Supreme Court are jjot alaveho'ders. Four of the J ustice> reside in Free Slates, where no ???.? m?ne .? t The Chief Justice is not a slaveholder, nr>r Jjas he been for upwards of thirty years, lie myer bought or sghl a slave. Of those the British spared bis father, when they polluted the soil of Maryland; some came to him by inheritance. After odu eating those who were young enough to bo taught, and Qualifying? them to take care of themselves, he voluntarily gave them their freedom. Two who were so old as to be unable to earn their living, he cheerfully supported duriqg jtheir lives, j He not since owned a slave. This I is full and complete answer to the statements often reiterated in the republican j papers that a muineitv r.f ii>?> J .' ? " ? "c,t" slaveholders. and as such had been itillti | .enced iu making their decision. Advertising. The St. Louis Republican, in conelud i i?g a congratulatory notice of its prosper ity nijd success, says of advertising; The truth is, advertising has become a , great feature in the business of (lie conn | try. No merchant can better understand j this than those who engage in it most ex j tensively. The prominent advertisements j of our fancy goods dealers, and of our j wholesale tnerchants^spread all over these j pages, best attest the estimation in which j they hold it. If ihfiy can ir. this way so | cure a reading by tens of thousands of | persons every day, this is just what they ! want. If they can by so easy a process and so cheap a cost, attract hundreds of vujiio tu mvir cuumers every May, what I matters it !o tiietn that they pay a few Vo\\?vx <?> A^Sma \V.

Every one who has anything to l?uv or roll?every one who wants any tiling or lias lost anything?every one en I gaged in business whatever?now resorts to the newspapers to communicate with , the public. As a matter of course, every 1 man in search of a particular object or thing, looks to the advertising colmns of a newspaper to find it; and if there bj any one so stupid as not to read those col umns. he will never keep up with his neighbors or the progress of the age." Tiik Wav thky otr Krcn out Wkst ?The New hurry port Herald relates the experience of a friend, just returned from the West. lie says : Jlere is tho whole story. We com j plyin of hard times, and go West to bet : ter our condition. If we would live in a : log or mud house will; one room and no floor, sleep on straw, go barefooted, wear the cheapest ijiul coarsest clothes, and de ( privo ourselves of all the comfyits of life, atjy body might stquat upon two aciesi of common pasture, and with the same labor, be as rich in seven years as upon ( any half section of land in Kansas : and j if there were hundreds thus squatting, they could get up a land lever, speculate u lots, and have the prices go tjp as they do in the West. What people save in the new States they crusli out of themselves, and that thsy do Anywhere. All the advantage*! they have, is the privilege of living as', mc^n 'and beij)g as mean, and having i ( their children as mean, us human na- ' . turo will bear, with nobody t^j find fault 1 with it; while hero, living in the same] manner, they vyould separate from the masses, as much as the gipsies do. If 1 aijv of our people wi*h to learn practic 1 ally about this matter, let them lake a , ' vitw of the basket makers who drive in- 1 to market from New Jdvmpshiie, and , 1 then go home and live with their) a . i month in the hack part of )3arrington,' 1 and they will be saved the trouble of go i ing to Kansas. ??

PICKENS. 1 i The vacancy occasioned by the death of I the lamented Butler, cannot lie better lilted I) j than by u man, like bis predecessor, firm, 1 j fearless and energetic and al the same time ' j plain, practical and sagacious, but above all , i by one whose sympathies, pursuits and in- ] " terests are fully and completely identified i " | with those of the largest and most liupor- | | taut class of our citizens, the Planter* and j , j Farmers of the soil. Such a man is F. W, . 1 Pickens. In him we have combined all the L l c. ' elements necessary to constitute him a faithI fill iti.il trustworthy guardian of our in' j tcrcsts in tlie general councils of the na^ tioti. Uirth, education, name, pride and his- ; ; j t<>r!c associations, which enter so largely j j into the patriotism of all, are so many pled- i j ges for his unflinching fidelity to the State, i and that his ta'ents will always he usefully 9 I and honorably *>xericd in her service, r 1 If w e are not much mistaken in our estis ; mate of the man, ho will not hesitate to , I refuse the mission to Russia, should he be . i convinced that tuu sentiment s-? prevalent { ! in this section, calling for his services at ' I home.tinds a resjionse throughout the State i r j We urge our right to his services in the , j United States fSennte.

The recent change upon the South Cairo- I n ; linn Railroad, to the eflV-ct that on and after | - i tlie 5th inat., the running of trains upon s I the Sal.bath will be discontinued until fur- [ * j tlu-r notice, is commendable, ho Jur a* flaf. j s | feet* the passenger and freight trains. This, | j in our opinion, should have been done lung j ago. With the mails, however, it is dif- j lereut, and the same necessity which eti j I joins the delivery of the mails upon the 0 j Sabbath nnd the keeping open of the Tele* t graph ottiees on that day, exists for uiiinter- j > J rnpted vigilance in effecting a speedy trans' j portal ion of the mails.

W. W. BOYCE. i This gentleman, who has recently been j I nom:n?tcd for the United States Senate, in | ' I a letter to the Carolina Times, declines en- ' v ! tering into competition for that position,and , ( states that he is en'irelv satisfied with the ' | position w hich he now occupies as a Rep | resentative of the people. All, we pre- j ! | sumo, are aware of the important part Mr. j J Boyce has taken in reference to the Tariff. | ; and this, he states, is a question that peen- j liarly appertains Jo the fjotise, and as it is I ; his earnest desire to contribute to the liltiI mate triumph of the great cause of Free : ! Trade and direct taxation, he feala that his J present sphere of usefulness is in the pop* j ular brunch of the Government. In aooneetion with the subject of the approaching election for U. S. Senator, Mr. i ' ! Boyce uses the following language, which is < certainly entitled to serious consideration. We are no alarmist, and are not prepared to i endorse the opinions set forth by a very respectable portion of the press of this Ktnte, in regard to the present condition of | the South and her relation to the General Government ; hut Mr. Boyce, we know to ! | l)i' eminently conservative, sound in his 1 judgment, which lifts ever been character-!- . i ! zed by discreetness and moderation ;? ; j | and hence, we any, that his notions upon I 1 Federal matters, are entitled to great weight. | | \Ve give the concluding portion of his ! letter : 4tI consider this'he most important elec- i ( ' lion foi the Senate ever had in this State I since the herniation of the Government.? | I shall not dwell upon tl^e desirableness of preserving the prestige fif the Stale for in- | : telleet. We all feel this I rise to higher j ground, fho condition of public affairs, ^ Kansas slipping from our grasp, Walker j decreeing freedom by infinite argument of manifest destiny nnd very "cold winds from the mountains," the Administration voice, i less as the grave, the democratic party, \ j North, piUlagt. i| "Surely, if danger ever necessitated wis- j dom o? action, it is now. | c 1 earnestly hope, therefore, that the action t of the State uiay be of the widest, l'rthlic r opinion in South Carolina lias always, hith- t erto, in great emergencies, risen to their \ 1 level. I trust it will do so now, tutd that * the high mission of Senator may he coiiferred under the exclusive influence of great considerations of public interest. j THE WEATHER AND CROPS. j I Upon this subject this week, we must j mention the spot! of cool weather, uiipre- j cedented for July, whieh continued from j about Wednesday of last week to Monday i of this. The mornings were uoeomlorta- | hly cold, fires were pleasant,and even over- i CO,its. we observed, were l'rcelv resorted to ! We liave Ireard ol no other injurious effect ; il lias IuhI upon tin* crops, except, of'course, I to clmek its growth for tin* lime ami ren- : der it tlill muxs backward. Several light showers of rain fell in various ailjaeent see- | tions that we heard from, last week ; hut I they were by no means general, and not | enough for a season anywhere II will require continued and copious lams to re- ' deem the effects upon the cropsof the long drought that we have had. We have taken some pains to ascertain the prospect in various localities, and it is generally conceded that, taking the most favorable view ot the propitiousnM* id* the remainder of the cropping season, and by no reasonable estimate can anything like an average crop of eottou be made in this District. Corn is not too far spent for good crops to be made, with seasonable weather from Ibis out.? These remarks are intended as an average ; some sections ufl'ord a tolerable prospect ' for both cotton and corn, and others again, vita vena.
