Suite e?n Destist.?VVe take pleasure i in calling attention to the card of Dr. Ben- I nett in this paper, who has engaged an office and proposes to locate here permanent- j ly. Ho has already done some work in j this community and has been pronounced by several who have had his services, a most skillful and successful operator. fc#" Messrs IlnsBelline &. Mnssey have issued their usual Spring advertisements, which see in this paper. These gentlemen | have a stock of goods, which in point of quantity and variety are excelled by few, if I i any, similar establishments in the State, j outside of Charleston and Columbia. They consider themselves fully pruparod to respond to the demands of their customers. Almost a general Fight in Congress. We publish elsewhere a detailed account of the late disgraceful scene of disorder in j the House of Representatives, arising out ' of the very abusive speech of Mr. Lovejoy, [ of Illinois, in which he characterized nil slave-holders as being, if po-sible, worse j than thieves, murderers, &c. Every oue, |i while deploring so unbecoming n scene in j< the halls of our Nations! Legislature, will J rend this account with exciting interest. It j could not be expected thnt Southern mem [ bers could sit quietly by and listen to such I vile epithets against their constituents and I the domestic institutions of the South, as came from the lips of Mr. Lovejoy. Forbearance under such circumstances would j not have been a virtue, and the fault of a j disturbance so Well calculated to reflect ] disgrace upon our Federal Legislature, rests not with them, but with the foul mouthed slanderer who occupied the floor and the Chair who permitted him to proceed in his strain of invective abuse. 8team Mill Burned. VVe regret very much to record the burning, on Wednesday last, of Mr. .George Sinclair's, steam saw, grist nod dour mills, situated six miles East of tbis place. The firs was wholly Accidental. It occurred near mid-day, and the .wind blowing very hard, the domes spread with such rapidity that but little of vnlue could be got out of the building. The loss is a serious one to the proprietor, vnriaiwly estimated r c ? .1 J > " - ' bi iryiu iitc iu IIIUUSIIIIU UUlIOfS. 11 may also in one sense be looked upon us a public calumity, this mill having been a source of accommodation and convenience to a large nufvber of patrons. Mr. Sinclair han been a resident of the District but a few years, yet by his habits of honest industry, strict attention to his duties and his courteous and gentlemanly dealing with his patrons, he has secured a large number of frieuda, who deeply regret the calamity that has befallen him ? It is his purpose, we understand, to nt once commence the work of rebuilding and we hope that the entire community will ex tend him that encourngeuient and assistance which he so much needs and deserves under the circumstances. The Railroad Discussion We continue to republish from neighboring exchanges, articles expressing various and sometimes conflicting opinions, upon the subject of a railroad connection with Lancaster. in this issue, is an article from the Camden Journal, wherein a meeting is proposed to confer upon the matter of a road from Camden to Lancaster. We hope to record soon that the suggestion of the Journal has met the enrnest approbation of the 'I people of thnt vicinity. Also one from tlie Darlington Flag upon the subject of the Bialiopviile route. This Is the first voice that we have heard from Darlington. Last week we copied an article contributed to the Sumter Watchman, in which the construction of a road from Georgetown to Lancaster, was advocated. These suggestions coming from various quarters, impart a general interest to the grand object which we have in view, and hence we give them the benefit of our circulation. It is of course not expected thnt we endorse nil of them. Lancaster is not particularly interested In a railroad to Georgetown ; it would probably not pay us to invest much in such an enterprise. Our point is Cuar- i leston ; but if in going to Charleston, we likewise accomplish a direct communication with Georgetown, without any addi. tional effort or expense, we will certainly not object to the arrangement. The pros peet of a daily communication with two sea-ports, instead of one, in onr judgment, materially enhances the importance of the subject f and the accomplishment of this is by no means wholly unlikely, as we will proceed to show : The people of Georgetown hays in oro. jection a road that is to connect the port of Georgetown with the North-Eastern road. We learn from the last issue of the Char- [ leston Mercury, that recently they have had the route surveyed. Tyro lines have beeq surveyed?one connecting with the NorthEastern Road at Cade's Depot, nine miles above Kingstree ; the other connecting at Graham's ^ Rouds, sixteen miles al>ore Kings tie*. The distance by the former roate, is forty-one milee?by the letter, for- | ty-eiz miles. ] i Now, should it bo determined that a conneetion with the North Laatern road, via Biahopville, is the proper direction for ust we will also, it is likelv, connect at one of the two points selected for the Georgetown road?most probably at Graham's X Roads. Graham's X Roads, so far as we arc able to judge with the aid of a Map before us> is on a direct line from Lancaster C. II., to Georgetown. The distance from Lancaster C. 11., to Graham's X Roads, on an air line, will not exceed eighty miles, which added to forty-six, makes the whole distance from Lancaster to Georgetown, 1U6 miles. The advnti lages, upon all sides, of a connection of the two roads at the same point, are too obvious to require further explanation ; and we hope that our accomplished friend of the I'te Dee Times will present this subject to the people of Georgetown. We do not favor,while we do not seriously object to, a connection at Florence. Graham's X Roads, or therenbouts, would bo a better poiut for more reasons than one. It would make the line a shorter one to Charleston , and every mile becomes important in view of the ultimate connection with Charlotte, when we must come in compe tition with other lines lending to Charles ton. Our Hishopville friends aro as much interested in this view of the nul>jeet as we are, and wo hope they will give it their consideration. Washington News. Senator Chesnut has made another speech in Congress, which has received very considerable attention. It is a masterly vindication of slavery as it exists in the South orn States and of tho rights of the South under the Federal Government. We may have more space to devote to it next week. The Bill admitting the Territory of Kan Bas into the Union ns a State, has passed Lhe House of Representatives by n vote of 134 yens to 73 rays. The public seem to have been a good deal excited in relation to a rumored duel between Messrs. Pryor, of Virginia, and Potter, of Wisconsin. The difficulty arose from words used in debate, springing out of the Lovejov nflair. The latest inlelli gence, through .1 special dispatch to the Charleston (Jonrirr, says that there will Le no duel, aud that n reconciliation has been effected. Congress wiil not adjourn to enable members to attend the Charleston Convention, as was proposed. A Presidential Estimate. The intelligent Washington correspnn dent of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, speculates as follows touching the Presidential nomination at Chnrleston : The Chicago Times?Douglas* home organ?sava that Douglas must be nominated at Charleston, or he will enact the character in which Martin Van Huren was so successful in 1848. What impudence ! ? Douglas knows that he is unpopular at the South, that the Democracy are divided about him at the North, that half of the Uetnocracy 01 Indiana follow the lead ot the Administration, and yet he has the arrogance to attempt to force himself upon the Convention, to say, "take me, or 1 strike." Hut I opine that he stands hut a small chance of securing the nomination.? if the Southern States stand tirm he can never be nominated The whole number of votes in the Convention will be 303 ; two-thirds (,'303) will be necessary to n choice. Conceding to him every Northern delegate, he will hnvo only 183. Hot he can never get the delegation fiom Pennsylvania, Nesv York and Oregon. The Donglas papers are figuring np his strength on the first ballot 1 hey give him about 350 on the first dash, and divide the balance tip between Guthrie, latnc and Johnson. Now I am just as good at cyphering as they, and I'll wager something handsome that I am nearest correct Let the 23d ?f April decide. On the first ballot the vole will bo tlius : Douglas (a part of New Kngland and the Northwest) 80 Dickinson, (with New York and three New tlnglaud States 61 Davis (the Cotton States) 41 Iaine (New Jersey, North Carolina, Missouri And the Pacific) . .. ? - 33 Breckcnridge (Pennsylvania) 27 Wise (Virginia) 15 Andy Johnson (Tennesse) 12 Gutlnie (Kentucky) 12 Stephens (Georgia) 10 Hunter (Maryland) 8 Bayard (Delaware) 3 News Items Kx-Gov. Allston, of South Carolina, (Maya the Charleston Courier,) has given an order to Michael IMiolan, of New York, for the manufacture of a splendid billiard table, which he intends to present to the Stale Lunatic Asylum at Columbia. The result of the elections in Connecticut and Rhode Island shows a change of fourteen thousand cotes in fnvor of the Deujoernctic party since the election ol 1856. Fatal Accidkht.? Henry Cnlp, the son of Air. Jno. Culp of the Indian Land, a youth of some fifteen years of age, while hunting on last Saturday morning accidentally shot himself in the left arm above the elbow ; the discharge cutting the veins, so that he bled lo death. After receiving tliu wound, the deceased went, for some pur pose, to a brnnch near by wiiere bis boJy was found, not, however, until Sabbath day. Henry was entirely sane, we believe; and this siid occurrence, according to careful inquest, was purely accidental.?Enquirer. The Democrats have carried Rhode Island. The Governor elect was the nominee of an American State Convention, and afterwards received the nomination of the Democratic party. In the election fur Gov rnor in 1859. he carried the State by 5 416 majority, lie is a large calico manufacturer, and ia entiuiHted to be worth $12,000,000. Nohtm-Kastern Railroad?The annual report of the president of this road present* it* affair* in ao improving condition. Tlie gross earning* hnve been $377,113 04 ; the expense* $154,263 22 There hne been an increaae upon 'he earnings of last year of $57,100 20. The largest in. srease haa been on freights. The increase on through travel, was about $3000. The report attributes thia comparatively small increase to the delayed completion of roads southward of that. For the Lancaster ledger. | Mr. Kuitor:?1 see in the appointment j nf delegates to the State Convention, iny I natiie as one appointed for litis District.? I j Circumstances will not permit me conve* | ! niently to attend. I am in favor of South Carolina being represented in the National j Convention, as she always casts her vote i for the nominee of the Convention.? i When we endorse the nomination, we ought ; not to stand still and trust to the Nortn to I nominate a candidate for President ami Vice j I President for us to veto for, but we ought 1 i to have a linger in the nomination ourselves j I My own opinion is, wo ought to preserve ' the Union as long as there is a hope to maintain our right* and honor. j KiiMir.n mm k* i For tlic Lancaster Ledger. Mr. Editor.? It appear.** from your paper of Inst week thut three of the Delegates, appointed by the meeting on the SJd instant, | to represent Lancaster District ill Columbia on the 16th instant, have refused the np! pointmeiit. These gentlemen being, as they are, altogether opposed to the State sending delegates to the Charleston Convention, have very properly advertised those whom it was intended they should represent, that they decline the appointment. As a member of the Committee appointed at the District meeting on the '2d inat., I to nominate delegates for the State Con| vention in Columbia, I desire to say that I regret exceedingly, that any one opposed to the State being represented in tho Charleston Convention was appointed a delegate to represent tho District in the Slate Convention. The regret is, not that the oppointment of such will defeat the objects of the Convention, or operate to the injury of tho friends of the measure, but that such appointments have placed these gentlemen in a false position before the people, and put them to the inconvenience of disowning, through your columns, any and all connection with the mensuro It was the object and desire of the Committee to select suitable persons from different parts of the District ; persons too, in this busy season of the year, who might probably have lei sure 10 leave wicir occupations arm homes. It probahiy would have been Well, had the appointment* been confined to persons in attendance nt the meeting?then there would have been no liability to appoint uov from the ranks of the disaffected. Something has been said in reference to disclaiming all connection "in assisting to drag the State <>f South Carolina mtu a .Xational Convention." This language seems to imply, that a majority of the people of this State are opposed to the State being represented in the Chnrluplon Convention, and that a meddlesome minority arc endeavoring to force her into that Convention. For the idea conveved by the words "assisting , to drag the State" is this, that there is a i party pulling and hauling the State hy force I where she is unwilling to go. Now with < all due respect for this notion, where is the 1 evidence of it ! Is the State of South Car- ' olina opposed to the Charleston Conven- ' tion ? What are the facts ' The evidence ' IS in.ll illlt I)woe in uio < iicioiiiigiy 01 1.001 ^ of the Convention. F.very District throughout her entire borders with four or live exceptions lias held Us meeting, appointed iis ! , | gu.iR.irn,ilim .......... i ? . , resented in Columbia. It it true we lind I occasionally individuals who speak out u? j < gainst it, but nu concerted action any wheie. i i So far as my observation has extended, there j 1 has not in a single District been a meeting | called to offer the slightest objection to the | measure. Now if the "wire pullers and rot I ten politicians of the South" are endeavoring ] to take by storm South Carolina into the Convention, where we are told by implication she is so unwilling to go, why do not Iter people come to the rescue, ?h 1 cut loose the fatal cords that are drugging her down to destruction nod ruin? If it be so, tiiat Ibis imposition, so extravagant ami alarming in its nature, is about to be practiced upon the State, her people must be I the most stupid, abject and worthless on the face of ttie earth, else they would rise from their lethargy, shake otf the shackles that n few designing politicians have thrown aiound them, and exterinin ile her intriguers Hut the fact is the people of the State j 1 have the intelligence to understand their { rights and the independence to proclaim litem, as well ns tno chivalry to defend them ; ami South Carolina is neither going to sutler herself lo be dragged into the Convention or restrained from it; hut is going j into it understanding!)', freely, nnd of her | own accord. This is the news wufied fro in I every District throughout her limits. She will take her position hy the side of! her Southern sisters?tluur cause is her | cause, their interest is her interest, and heir r/fs.'iny it what it may) is her der ! i liny. Hy their counsel she may profit, and r by her counsel they may profit. Hy refusing the counsels of, and isolating herself from her Southern sisters, she can gain nothing hut their contempt and ridicule ? She can, in no re-pecl, lose anything hy ; going into the Convention ; it may he that I , ?he can do nothing there to her interest, j hut there is a chance to aid in bringing a- ; bout a favorable nominal ion, and let us avail oursi^ves of that chance. A common i destiny awaits the Southern Slates, how 1 I important that th?y should he united ! We are told again nnd again, that the South will be absolutely powerless in the ! Convention. This wo do not concede, for according to the practice of the National Convention, the two third rule prevails.^Under this rule the nominee must get two* I tbird* of 1 lit* whole Convention. And by | virtue of this rule the South ran, if she will only stand firm and united, prevent any man from the Northern States getting the nomination, or to say the least, she enn secure the nondnatiou of an acceptable candidate. She, so to speak, liolds the hnlance of power ; and this being true, it is of vital importance to us that every Southern State be fully represented. The past history of the action of these nominating oouvention* is all in our favor They have given to preaide over the deetines of this great Republic, e Polk, a Pierce, ntul a Buchaitu, men, than whom the South wants no bethr ; and whoso names will go j down to ttia Inborn millions of the South as true and lilhfnl expounders of the Federal Constitii|on. And may we not now hope for ano^er such ? Mississippi h'i'l he there with the appro, j bation of Imr ()avis Brown, and B.irksdale, J Alabama will! that of her Vnncey, Clay, and j Curry, Georgia with that of her eloquent I Stevens, Tooths, and lverson, nud South j Carolina should be there too with the approbation of l? r best men.

Mr. Lovej'iy, (Rep ,) of III.?Mr. Cliair man, have had a long debate on pol ygaiuy in Utah, and I now come to treat upon that oiler "twin relic of barbarian" [ ? slavery. I would like to see the two go dow n togrther. [Mr. Cobl, (Dem.,) of Ala , interrupt ed, but was called to order. Before re sutning his seat he said, "Oh, let linn make a speech about the twins; I will I not object.'] Mr. Lovijoy?-I will proceed without I your leave or anybody else. ' Mr. Staunton, (Rep.,) of Ohio, asked the Chairman whether, while the tariff and loan Will was before llie liou*>, gen tlemen should not be confined to that | particular suljeet, and not stray away to the subject of the tw in relics i Mr. Lovejoy.? 1 lie question is, vvheth er slavery is to extend beyond ils present ; limits? They say that is the i nly que* . lion over which we have not exclusive ' , jurisdiction. Siaverv is called an "insti ' lotion but it is in> institution. Sir, ii is simply a practice, as polygamy is a prac < lice. The question now is, what arc the elements of the practice of slavery ? The morality of s a very has been settled loin? ago. The ethics of it htm no longer dis cussed. Ages niul ages ago it lias been I ' settled l?y the pi.osta ; ami now, in gorge onsness am! glory, it appears Iik>* the flesh bright glows winch gather round a suminer's sunset. We arc told that wber J ever Hlawlioldir.g will pay there it will go ? precisely on the same principle that i wherever rubbery will p?v tli?re robber) will go ? wherever piracy will pay tin t.- ? piracy will go. Ami wherever human llesh is cheaper than thieving, canmbal ism will prevail, because it will pay. I'han i robbery, than piracy, than polygamy, viavehohling is worse, more wiekeil, more criminal, more inglorious to man, and more abhorrent to (iod. SlavehoMing has been just I v ral'ed the "sum of ail crime" You put every crime into the moral crucible, every wickedness perp-jirated among men?put all cr'itie on il.o . ataloguo in o the moral crucible, ami ! hell dissolve thein all, ami the result will lie slavehoMmg.

Th*-e are tin* 11>rmain I argument* ilial aie presented to justify slavery in itself, ami cmim n**ti11v it i* i these which are claimed to justify its ex p inaiun Tim extreme men upon this question are not the only men who have i logical argument* on their side. I must I bo ritelit in my position, or the extreme ' lire-eaters must he ri^ht. It slavery in | rii?ht in Virginia, it must be r.^ht ;n Kan rh*. If wrong ''I Kansas, it must lie ' wrong every where. Now, with reference' to the tir*i point?the inferiority of the i enslaved rite. We concede, its a matter 1 of fact, the inferiority. Does it follow ' from that that. it is right to enslave a iiihii I Honply became he is inferior to met Sir, ! tins a most ehlioreiit doctrine. This gices I over the weak to the mercy of toe strong I ? the poor to the inercv of l!;c rich ? j This doctrine piitces those who are weak j in intellect ?t the mercy of those who are I fitted. This principle of enslaving men i because of ?' eir inferiority is the most re. voicing that was ever presented to the world. If a men is old and weak, ami I bowed down with years, you strike him ' down. If lie is idiotic, you take ad van I Iage of Itiid?if a child, you deceive him. Why, s r. tins is the doctrine of the I >emocrals. lint it is, sir, the doctrine of the devils as welh According to this iniiu j man doctrine, the strong would enslave j the weak everywhere?just as the angels m ght enslave men because they aie su perior to men?just as the archangels might ens'nve the inferior angels. Sir, this horrible doctrine, on the same principle.would transfer the great Jehovah him self in'.o aii infernal Juggernaut, who I would enslave the world under the huge rolling wheels of Ins omnipotence. As Mr. Lovejoy approacliej Ins climax of rhetoric lie kept advancing froin the extreme side of the Republican benches. | outside of winch he had taken Ins stand until lie was nearly in front of the Speak ! er's chair.

Mr. Lovejoy said, when Daniel Web | ster spoke of the imposition of Austria on J Hungary, he reiuaiked the earthquake , and tornado have powers ar.d the thunder has power, but greater than these w as the power of public opinion, and be i foro this he proposed to arraign Austria. ! He (Mr. Lovejoy) proposed to hold up to j the retribution ol public sentiment slave- ; holding in all its atrocity and hideousuess, just as gentlemen had here polygamy.?

A TEXT FROM SIR ASTI,EY COOPER. "A stomach, gentleman," anya Sir Astley | Cooper, in one of his lectures, "hua been compared to a laboratory, and to a kitchen, | hut, gentleman, it is a tlomarh, and like < nothing but a stomach." The great surgeon was right. Digestion nnd assimilation resembles no other process in nature or art. It was with a vivid appreciation of this fact | list riiwt inirn iwb*/^ I - J . ?!?< .I>v ...T.Hjj.uinvu ?jr tM l?? I IIUIL'U his system of treatment ilia i'ills which hate become the popular specifics of the age, act directly upon this cod trolling or* gun, and through it upon all it* dependen* ciea. Dyspepsia, n terrible disease in itself, and the primal nource of aa many evila as { were contained in Pandora's box, yields | rapidly and certainly to their aperient, anli* septic arid restorative proprieties. Unlike any other medicament in use, they seem to curry on the three processes of purgation, disinfection and invigoraliou simultaneous* ly ; so that the s> stem is regulated, the blood puriti >d, and the nervous and muscu* lar organisation renovated at the saute lime. Hence their almost miraeulous cures of nearly all internal diseases. Their popu! laritv. and that of the Ointment r,.? nal complaint* and injuries, in amiply the homagu of the world to Truth. Men, women no) children, upon whom the disciple* of a musty, unphilosnphicol, and vapid pitlhol<>)gy have pronounced sentence of death, recover by ths use of thsae nisdicmes, and shame the orae'.ee of the profes. e I siou by taking a now louse of life. Those nro results that all mankind can appreciate. No interested opposition cun withstand tliein.
