The McKenna Will Case This ease, which tins attracted so inucli attention tluough the country, has recently been sejtlcd by compromise between tlie parties. The whole Estate, according to the terms o.f settlement, after the payment of debts due by Testator, .certain of the ley aeies and annuities under the Will, tax, costs and incidental expenses of suit and settlement, is apportioned as follows: To Mrs Ellen McKennu (widow) tv\o eights, absolutely. To Rev. N. IV I.yuch 1). I), Hishop pf .Chatleston, in trust for the objects contemplated iu the Will, three-eights,. To Geo W Williams, iu trust for the use of the contestants I. F. G. Mittag and wife Anna, nnd not subject to the marital rights j of the former, the remaining three-eighths. | The Estate is variously estimated to be i worth from two to three hundred thousand I dollars. The entire property ?tiM be sold publicly ! at this pluce in January next, for disc/iplioi; j and particulars of which, see advertismeut j on another colum. The Cenlr&i Railroad. The Sumter Walchmir.i of last week reports that the surveyors, engaged in making j the preliminary survey of the proposed j South Carolina Central Railroad, passed j that place, on the route, the week previous. Col. T. U- j'Vftser, of Sumter, introduced ' in the lower branch of the Legislature on the 30th ult, a liill to incorporate this road, j with a capital stock of 50.000 shares, at j ' #60 each share. The Hill was referred to i I - . , I Uii' committee on Railroads. Coi. Humes, j of Lancaster, on the twine day, in the Senatef g ive notice of a Hill for Die tonne object. Small Fox in Columbia It Iuih been announced that small pox prevails to some extent in our State Capitol. Private information received at tins place, says that there were nine canes up to i the middle of last week. The city papers j report but three, and these at last accounts were doing well. No new cases are repor- j led. The propriety of adjourning the Leg. i isluture, now in session, to some other point, I has been mooted. A Veteran of 1812 Some of our readers will remember Col. I John Sium, formerly of this District, now of Walker County, Texas. A friend has shown us a letter written by him, dated Oct. ?9th, in which is tho following passage; "It we gel into a war with the North, I should like to command a company in old South Carolina. I think 1 could do good service yel." Should the contingency referred to hapi.:.. c.: 1- 1 r _ - I'm, uuuutirn.i ma nifiiun aim MUIIMT CU.sl , patriots in arms residing in Lancaster, will welcome him back with open hearts mid nrma. ^ President Buchanan and becession. It seems now to be well under stood tin. I President Buchanan does not ndmit the right ol'a State to secede from the Federal Uniup, arid in this position is sputmned by a part of his Cublnct. But while h? de< { nicy thp right pf secession, he doubts the j expediency or practicability of resorting to coercion. It is believed that hi* forth-cftming Message will indicate these view* anil that be will submit the whole subject to the direction of Congress. Congress convened on Mouduv last and the Message wna probably announced yesterday. No I similar document w as perhaps ever looked I for with so great interest by the whole country. The Crisis at the North. Whatever inconvenience and danger to | to (hp South, the praaent secession movement may engender, it is not comparable ' with the consternation and peril which the j | same cause in likely to produce upon the j people of the North. The partiul cessat jon of communication between the twQ8e?iion* ' have already pfoduped the most startling effects. Hankers nnd Merchants are break: ing at every turn, and the prospect is that j I the entire Hankino svstein of tl?? Nh.rili will be smashed. Manufacturers are din- j I missing thpir operatives by thousands. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, j writing from New York, reports that twelve ' thousand were dismissed in that and the * | neighboring cities of Newark and Ne\y lla | veil in one day. These hirelings are turned out upon society with nothing in their packets wherewith to support themselves and I families. In it to be presumed that they t will quietly Ije down and starve ? No, not I as long on thpfe is bread jn the country, arid we tuny expect to hear within a shoit I time of as terrible scenes at the North an Mas ever enacted in France, (iod grant ' Unit it may teach the abolition fanatics n lesson M'hioh they nor posterity may never forget The Mouth is in far less danger of ciyi| war and insurrection than the North is of bread riots [FOR TIIIC LARCASTKR I.KOOKR.J Mr. Kpitor :?Please permit me through ' )our column* t/? tender my sincere thank* to my highly nnd inueti esteemed friends, > for tt>o ({rent demonstration of tlntt friend j *hip and confidence i nominating me to | represent the peoplp of J.uncualer iMatricl in the Slate Convention, w hi^h qpsemblea | in Columbia on Lite )7tti iud I have always believed Hint the people i linve I lie right to make their own selection j | of audi persona ns lliev niu> deem to be j moat competent, and beat qnitiilied, to aerve them ne public servants, in auy pp*ttiou i tbey u.h> lb ink proper to assign them.
