Reference is made in our telegraphic despatches (savs the Charleston Mercury) to a collision between Col. Keitt and Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, iu the House of Bebresentativos. A friend, who was hu eyo witness, sends us an account of the affair, whieli we nnnex. From this, it appears that Grow, who is one of the most pestilent Abolitionist iu Congress, was not only out of place, but out of order, for the Bales of Use House are imperative that a member must be at Ids seat when he ad dresses the Speaker or the House. The following is the statement: Wasujngtos, February 6. At about two o'clock a. m., Gen. Quitman offered a proposition to disentangle the proceedings iu the House. Mr. Grow who was in the aide in the Democratic aide of the House, objected a little tartJv, vt. v ? urm nitiu 10 mill ; "UO Oil 1114) OlIIHr aide of the House. to which you heloig, if you want toothed." Mr. Grow answered: "I'll object where I please." Mr. Keitt then >aiil : "Wait till I can come round ?r.d I'll take care of you." "Mr. Keilt went round and said to him ; "Von Al> olitioo pupv, move to your side of the House, and don't stay here." Mr Grow aid ; "I'll slay as long a? { please.*'? Mr. Keitt then choked linn for an iustant. He tlieu started olf, when Mr. Grow said; "You can't come from your planiation and crack the whip over me." Mr. Keitt turned back and said : "I'll choke you gain for that insolence." and he grasped bis throat a second tuue. Gen. Davis, of Miss., then interfering, wrenched Mr. Keitt round to keep them apart, and pressing biin against the corner of a table, Mr. K"it' partially fell. Mr. Grow, when Mr. Kei-t was wrenched round to separate them, '.ruck at Mr. Keitt, we think, but did tut reach him. Mr. Harked ale, iu interfering to separate tliem, was struck, and dealt a few heavy blows in return. The whole thing was sudden and over in a moment Gefore or afterwards. This is a succinct statement of the whole affair, which will doubtless, tie greatly exaggerated by Dlack Republican prints The whole thing was extemporaneous. A Revolting Murder. It is our lot to record this week, one of m the most attrocious acts of iuhumanity which has ever marred the fair name of our District. It annears that ? I???. ? I I * " "" """" v' About 60 years of age, belonging to W. D. A. Deen, of this District, died Inst week, under circumstances that gave ri?e to the suspicion that his death was caused by violence; consequently tlie Coroner summoned a jury to make the necessary inquiries. The result of the inquest was thai the slave had come to his death from frequent brutal punishments, and had treatment generally. On the inquest it was proved that for some time past, the neighbors had been much annoted by tbe frequent cruel and general ill treatment of his negroes, by Deen ; and at one time a few geullemeu waited on bint and warn ed him to desist. This, however, appeals to have had :to effect, and from present appearances, cruelty has been consummated by murder. It is revolting to Olir f.-*lin<r.i Irt ro/.ArJ such An art of inhumanity as having trAHRpired in our midst; and, no doubt, many will pronounce it au indiscretion to publish it, and under ordinary circmn stances we should be inclined to withhold it from our columns; but our object in publishing it is two fold. In the first place, we cannot hold those neighbors who were aware of the unhu inanity of Deen towards his negroes, as altogether blameless. As good citizens, we think it was i,*eir duly to have unLtogether and, after giving him notice, pre tented his conduct to the proper tribunal for punishment. All the dictates of humanity, as well as the peace,comfort and interest of themselves, and the commiini tv at largo, seetn to approve such a course Nothing, in our opinion, can do more in jury to the institution of slave, y than such .acts of brutality. If they are permitted to psss unnoticed, in a christian common jty like our*, it w ill not he long before lite natural feelings in (lie humane hearts of .our beet citizen* will rise an?J revolt against the institution itself. The laws of the Bouth proteci the slave as well a* the master, and it is the duty of every mar. and community of tnen, who value their own safety and peace, to correct such gross outrages upon the institution, by promptly bnugtng the perpetrators to the bar of human justice, and not wait until the cry of murder startles them from their inconsiderate lethargy. We understand lha' Deen and his son have left, and that suspicions are excited of their having committed another crime of similar character to that slated above. -?Laurent Herald.

Sewing; Machines. We direct attention to Mr. II. W. Kinsmnn's advertisement, who is the ngent for the sale of these machines, in Charleston. We saw one of these in operation whilst in Charleston, ana they nrc certainly the most remarkable ut the labour saving inventions of tlu; age.

Death of J* * ?4 ? ? ? vv?. r* uuv/ uoiupvUUt The State is i^aJled upon to mourn tho dentil of another of her distinguished (ions in the person of Col.

Hampton, Ksq., The Late StormSince our last, we have been visited by a most d< sti uetive storm of sleet and ice. Friday morning, it commenced to sleet and rain, and the rain freezing as it fell, before nightfall the trees were overburdened with a load of ice. The storm continued through the uightnnd a part of the next day. large trees were uprooted and tho destruction to timber, fruit trees, shade trees and flower ynrd?, have been immense. Traces of this storm will not be effaced for a quarter of a Congressional Fight Another one of those scenes that rcfleet I no credit npon our country nas occurred in Congress, the particulars of which may be found in another column. I We regret the affair ; nnd the more so that this time, South Carolina has a place in the picture. Not that we have the slightest objection to Gulusha Grow being choked e\ery day of his life in the proper place; but we regret it because such a scene (while the house was in session) is nn infraction of the rules of the house, and decorum ; and is derogatory to the character of the American I'eople. We happen to know Mr. Keitt, and knowing him, hesitate not to say, that after his choler passed away, no man would regret it more bitterly tbnn he- Did we r.ot fee! folly assured of this, we would recrd our disapproval of him- i self, as well as of his net. All men are liable to do under excitement, w lint their cool- , inH?m,nl ?n,Un.. ? _ # - | auu ow u will 111 Mr. Keitt's ease. Indeed we wonder that Southern men forbear ns much as they do.. Daily, are they subjected to the taunts and insults of the abolitionist*; and although the latter are a contemptible set. it is impossible for the high toned gentleman to treat them with that scorn and contempt they i deserve at all times ; and the wonder is < that they are not thrashed oftener than they i are. Since writing the above, another mail has t reached us with further intelligence, and it I JViis with something like pride that we rend j the appended apology to the House by Mr. I Keilt. It is like liim, manly and honorable, and shews that we were not mistaken in our estimate of him. in the House.?We find the following in the Washington Globe's report of the proceedings in the House of Representatives on Mommy : "Mr. Keitt. by unanimous consent of the House, made a persom,| explanation, he assumed all responsibility for the violation of the dignity mid decorum of the Houae on Hatuiduy morning. He, he aaid, was the aggressor, nnd he alone. He expressed his profound regret for the occurrence. "I'eraonal collisions, especially in a legislative body, were reprehensible, if possibly avoidable. He could not say whether or not a blow was directed at hiin. He was not conscious of having received one. He winhed to make to the House whatever reparation lie eoiiM, by this expression of his regret lot what had occurred. Senator JonesMr. Jones n senator from Iowa has presented in the U. IS. Senate n joint resolution from the State of Iowa, instructing the Senators and requesting the Representative* of that State to vote against the admission of Kansas under the Lerompton Constitution ; and requesting the Senators to rssign if they cannot obey instructions. In presenting the resolution, Mr. Jones remarked that be did ao "as a matter of respect to his Slate, and not because hB had the most remote idea of obe>ingibi instructions. He believed that the people had had ample opportunity of expressing their views at the ballot-box, and if they refused to do so it was their own fault. His own mind was made up to vote for the admission of KsQ?M under the Lerompton Constitution, unless some Stronger arguments could bo made against it than any which he hud yet heard. The resolutions which he presented *v?re adopted by a strict party vote, evry eueudrer of the Democratic parly in the Legislature voting against them. A!though he was inclined to think that a majority of the people of Iowa might row indorse the resolution; he believed that after a thorough examination of the subject they would come to adiii'erent conclusion. For his own part ho intended to do everything in his power to sustain the Administration upon this question, bdrosing that Kansas and Minnesota ought to be admitted into the Union as twin sisters, to the same way as done with Florida nnd Iowa. Editorial Correspondence. I left Kingstree for Charleston, by way of the North Eastern Railroad, on the af ternoon of the sutno day my i??t letter wm written.?(Wednesday 3d.) The train was due in Charleston about 7 o'clock, !'. M . but from Houie detention upon the rond, it did not reach there until, after 9, This rond is said to be in g"od condition, but it does not seem to be managed with that care for punctuality and despatch, likely to *e. cure for it an extensive patronage. I hear ranny complaints from passengers and ulthough such complaints are oftentimes unreasonable, vet in this instance, I ant inclinto the belief that they were made with auftieient cattso. On our return trip to Kirurs tree, (Saturday 6th,) at which place the care were due at 6J, P. SI., it was some two hours Inter when they leached that point. I paid for passage faro in coining up a trifle more than it cost me to go down.? The ticket agent's attention v? ns called to it, and he contended that ho was right and the agent at Kit.gstroo wrong. From what i afterwards learned, however, I have no doubt but that the reverse of this is correct. The road is the straitest that 1 ever traveled and its construction secius not to be deficient. The trestle at Suntec is about four miles long. The bridge is a superior structure, resting upon tabular piers. The travel upon the. road is not large and is mostly local ; but the stock holders seem to be impressed, that utter awhile, a share f the through travel upon the Wilmington mid Manchester and the South Carolina Railroad, w ill be directed upon the North Eastern. The route to Charleston would be shortened, and the time gained, taking the schedule lime of each route, would be, 1 think, about four hours. Tim ( 'ntn nunv iJi/1 ?w\t -J t lw convenience of the people of Kiugatree, when it located the depot come half or three quartern of it mile beyond it It ia a very considerable inconvenience at this point, and the advantage to the Company in not perceptible. 1 understood that other locations, perfectly suitable, were afforded. My first day in Charleston, (Thursday) ? -t all day. The hotels seemed to have the usual number of visitors for this gay season, and the various plaees of amusement, I understand, were well attended, The two first data I devoted to business, being a subscriber to the rule of business before pleasure. Saturday, I designed to appropriate to the enjoyment of the sports of the season, intending to visit the course, this being the last day of the races, bui em.v in the morning I received intimation of the illness of our little boy at Kingstreo and this obliged me to leave Tor that place on the afternoon train, and thereby my stay in the city was shortened some two or three days. The bnsines* season seems srnrcely to have commenced in Charleston, the wholesale dealers not having yet received their spring nud summer supplies. The late money troubles liove occasioned the unutuul backwardness. Times, I understand, are easier in the city than they have been, but the cry is still that money is tight and affairs generally quite in an unsettled condi tion. As many readers of the ledger are interested in the prices of merchandize, I will devote a paragraph to that subject. Groceries are low compared with this time Ust year, but tlioy are not *u low a* to correspond with the general impression of prices that nns gone abroad in the up country. With sugar*, for instance, while the lower qualities have receded fifty per cent or more, there ia no corresponding dif. Terence in the price of the finer family augar.*. Heat New Orleans sugar is worth about Si cents, but it ia not a very fair article. New Orleans molasaea ia worth 30 cent* by the barrel, which is less than half that it sold for last year. Fish are higher than they were twelve months age no great difference in rice, coffee cheese and many other of the common nrticles of family use. I did not ptice many articles in the dry goods line, but understood that many kinds may be bought exceedingly low. I hope that our merchants may find this true when they visit the city in tho Spring. One item in the house furnishing line, has gone down very low compared with prices six month ngo. Carpeting, worth then, $1 J5, may be bought now for from 70 to 80 cents. A splendid assortment of these,may be found at Jan. G. Bailie's on King Street. I feel indebted to brethren of the press in the city for some polite attentions. I particularly enjoyed a converafilion with Mr. Heart, the senior editor of the Mercury ? lie is a very model of n gentleman and of a working editor. He has an experience of over twenty years, and a recital of hi* understanding of some of the duties and responsibilities resting upon the conductor of a newspaper, is invaluable tooneol limited experience, ilia definition of the word editor, although a correct one, varies considerably from the general acceptation of the term. The bualiieas of writing for a newspaper and that of editing it, are entirely distinct, though it is oftentimes necessary that the faculty required for each, he combined in the aaine person. Any sd. ucated poison. of ordinary intelligence, can writs an article, but there are very few who poee?sees the last U successfully edit spa* per. I fmrnd Mr. Yeadon, the senior editurot The Charleston Courier, writing an article upon the late Message of lxr?,sid<?nt Buclinnnn favoring the admission of Kansas, under the Lecompton Constitution. I was glad to hear him express n liking for the Message and would he well pleased to ace the influential print, of which he is chief manager, lid of some at its scepticism in : reference to the good faith of the President ( and of his 4i*po'iti?>n to mete out equal I justice to theSwUi and to the North. I hi*d designed when nt leisure to visit several places in Charleston, n report of which may have heen interesting lo the readers of tin* Ledger, but for the re?. eon mentioned, I was compelled to defer this to another time ;?the more important purposes of the journey, were scarcely gone through with. On my return I spent several days very pleasantly nt Kingxtrec. Susday afternoon, 1 heard n sermon in the Methodist Church ! from Hev. Mr Pegues. This Church seems i to have been lately constructed. Kiagstree | has three churches, and, I think, regular i service in each Church. The Village is j not more than half the size of Lancaster I and in this important respect, | am nt-hanvd ; to sny to what extent the latter suffers by the comparison, j The Presbyterian Church is situated j about the half of a mile Last of the Vit- j | lage. It has-been in existence for considers- 1 j bly more than a century and its history, I ; i understand, an written l>y the Kev. J?s. A. j Wallace, its present pastor, is replete with j interest. I ha\u procured a copy of the j woik (n small pamphlet edition) mid my j I first leisure moments will he devoted to I I reading it. The Charch was founded l?v a ' j colony of Scotch Prenhyteriuns, ami f?oin > j them descended some of the bravest spin's of ike Revolution. These are followed I by the historian through the stirring sc. n?> j of that period and in my important in -i j dents of the strife are recorded in this little pamphlet, never before brought to light by any former historian. Many descendant* of these patriots, who were descendant* of the founders of the Church, are now living in Williamsburg District and manyare scattered elsewhere. Wherever thev' maybe who hear the name* <>f Marion. Mou/.on, James, Mcfottrv, Rrvin, Wither, apoon, Convert., McDonald itmi others, thev may well bo proud of their linkage olid they should strive to honor by their deed* tho high character for Integrity, principle and patriotism, sustained by their forefathers. The building of ? new church is in contempUtion, and it in proposed by some to build it in the Village, ns being more convenient for a majority of the present congregation. Others oppose the removal and for reason* that should be respected. Many revered associations are connected with the present site; it has been the burial place Irom itic nine ui me nrsi seme r* ami u? ghosts of more than a hunched years forbid the change. I lie llaptmt Church is a new building | itiid was dedicated u few weeks ?g<?. It stands a short distance from the brow of i the hill rising from the Black Kiver. The black Kiver is n very considerable stream at Kiegslree, larger than one would supnoae from the nearness to the toiiuiuin heads. It was culled by the aborigines. Wrenrt, the English interpretation of w liieli, 1 is Black River. I cannot sec why the ori,?:- | nal name w?s not retained; it is very pretty und also v >ry appropriate as all Indian names are. The water is almost a jet black j and tins color is rctuincd r.t nil seasons and conditions of the stream Upon the | bank of thu river, at the brow of the hill, ! j vi .m mdgyvii in* spot occupied at one time I by the Ring's tree, mentioned in a former ! letter. It is traditional that the premature ' decay of this remarkable tree wait occasione.i from an antipathy full towards it bv the \\ higs of the Revolution, who availed themselves of every opportunity to shoot at it, and so many bulla's .were buried into the King'* tree, as to finully cause its death I left Kingstree on Thursday, 11th, after hut ing spent, as before remarked, several days very agreeably. The people of the lower country are dis*imilur in many respects from those of the upper. There in 1 more genuine hospitality below, and it Hows I naturally, as if he who extends it is actuated by no selfish motives, or constrained by the conventionalities of society. There is, too, less of the aut?vrst and Irs* pomposity commingled with the hospitalities of. the rich, than they generally receive credit i for. In respect, however, to industry and ! to a spirit of enterprise in general, the up- I country is decidedly in tho ascendant. i | i urn disposed to believe that climate has I ' tnuch to do with this. Ik-low, there is but little disposition to change the customs of their forefather*. ^ labor saving iiinchi e is almost un st.omuly. Some of the most Mimnlw imitrA?om<?nfji far i r._ ,...r ,.u. poses, that have been in use in tit up cntiu* try for the last thirty year-, ore rarely aeon below. An instance where ancient customs are continued at the expense of labor nnd capital, is set n in the old fashioned hand mill, where the muscles of the arm constilute the sole motive powur. These nro still in vogue, nnd in a general way, every family does their own grinding. An nhlu bodied hand would not realize, in the way of toll, ten cents a day w ith this machine.? Tha Village of Kingstrec itself affords another illustration it ia yet without onv corporate advantages and there seems a strange opposition to adopting this step, so essential to its improvement. The rail* ro.d which runs through the District is looked upon by many with n jealous eye.? Standing upon the p'atform at the Depot near Kingstree, I heard an old gentleman of venerable and intelligent appearance, give and andorae the opinion of a very wealthy plantar of Williamsburg, to the ef feet that the Road would prove ruinous to the District from the ready intercourse it affords with Charleston ! The very means whieh promises to engender a spirit of enterprise. of industry and competition, ar.d which ha* added vastly to the yeaUh sod Importance of many of the upper District*, 4s looked upon below as a means only of lending to cxtravagnnee and unprofitable I change. These notions, it must be confess- | ed, are contracted and must operate to retard the general iiuproveenent of the country It is true that individuality and aside 1 from bis social obligations, the wealthy planter of tlw low country has bat lutlc incentive for chnnge.
