"We direct attention to the notice of a School, l?y Miss Mary B. Hammond, to commence at | this place on next Monday.

Of course, no sales j were inline. i no several IWiuiiIh met and attended to llieir usual duties. Soldiers Board of Relief.

It war found when the census ' reports were received, that the District had not many more men to contribute under this baaia. , Several beats were entirely clear, having aires <ly lurnUlird more than two third* of their numlier, The other* promptly applied their quoto* hy volunteering, when calle^ upon.? , Then; waa no occasion to retort It a draft. Capt. M< Ilwain'a Company of Cavalry waa completed on that day ; it now Humbert about 8ft men. An infantry Company, of about 80 j men, waa alao formed and Organixed by the election of the following officer* : Ml Kb HILTON, Captain. ORES C. IIINSON, lai Lieutenant J.

Hesides this, she has frc J furnished a good many enlisted men. The latest statistics report the Militia force of the Slate at 60,000 inen. Under the two. thirds busis, South Carolina should now have in | active service about 40,000 men, a number 1 equal to about one-eighth of her entire while population. This is probably u larger propor- "" tion than any other State now has in the held. rv If all of the States were to contribute in pro| portion, the Confederate Government would have in the field over one million of men. I'11 The Stay Law- [j,, We publish on our first page the late Act of <ji| I the General Assembly, passed for the relief of f I debtors. There is no need now to discuss the mi question of the propriety or necessity of such a law at this particular time; it is now the law ( of the land,and as such, it is the duty ol all good ^ citizens to quietly acquiesce in its provisions. The Legislature yielded to what seemed to he 111 the commonly expressed wish of the people ; and if, us its advocates contended, it will beiie> ; lit the mas? of the people, the few who are j W*' likely to be injured by it, should not complain, ! tin in view of the general good to he achieved. j thi It may he pertinent here to observe that cri many of the evil effects ol a law which in ten | feres with contracts between individual-, inay p|j be obviated by the exercise, among the people, of a due proportion of prudence and fair-dean j0, ing. Where the experiment of a Stay law has ' ^ been made, it lias been observed lliat many in- 1 ...... . . . , . | tin dividual- are disposed to take advantage of it by not meeting tlieir liabilities, even when tliey ; have the power to do so ; that the law leads to | fn carelessness and extravagance among debtors, j '"( and in the end, in many instances, has proven P" a disadvantage to the class it was designed to ) bom fit, while entailing permanent injury nml j cci loss upon creditors. All this may he avoided ne if all men w ill do as they would have others do ! tie unto them. Let every debtor consider his so moral obliiration and resolve to n?v wkmiovor .... ? - ? r~J vi' he can, regardless of the Stay law ; tcmeinbcr* j cei ing that tbis is but 11 temporary rclirf. ami that I M? the time will come when his engagement* must \ \, be met, ami that they may be enforced at a time ! |ar when he is no better prepared to pnv than he is | At the present. The law having interfered for tho | ^ protection of the debtor at the expense of the creditor, the lalterfwhen the restraint is once removed, is not apt to regard the convenience j of the former, but will enforce his claims as j soon as the Inw will allow him. This has been ! Pr< the result of all former experiments of this kind, I ' and should be guarded against by every man i li<|uidating, as far as he call, bis liabilities with- w> nut respect to the Stay law, and preserving | trii that feeling of confidence ami forbearance be- ?n tween creditor and debtor, so important at a i thi time like the present. ti(] Fight at Port RoyalA despatch, received fiom Camden on Frii day last, apprised lis of a fight which began at < Port ltoynl Ferry on Wednesday, in which ( Cols. Jones and Dunovatit's Regiments were ?" engaged, the former losing fire or six men kill- | nc' ed and as many wounded, and the latter one de| killed and five or six wounded.

From the New Orleans Crescent. England and the United StatesThe news from 'he North yesterday with gnrd to the surrender of Messrs. Mason d Slidell was of n somewhatcontrndiclo ehnrneter. First, it Was reported that e Lincoln ndministrution hnd taken the ek truck, and had determined to deliver j rse gentlemen to the English agent. Next ' w?a said that it was all u mistake, and | it the administration, standing upon itm jnity, would refuse to accede to the de inda of Great Biitnin, and defy the power d resentment of that nation. These conflicting statement* kept the inlo community in a ferment, and nobody lew what was the truth Bets Were even itdu on one side and the other, and high <putcS occurred as to the reliability of the verse dispatches. For our own part, thont discrediting either ^ believing ei i er, we believe that the result will be about p snme in the long run, whether the Fed- | il Government has changed front or not If the demand of Great Itrilain be com [ ed with, and Messrs Mason and Nlidell i 5 delivered up, it does not necessarily fob : w that thereby all cause of disagreement tween the North and Fnglaud will he re- ( ived If llio latter choose to do so, sho ( a have ample excuse for armed interferce in the American quarrel, outside of the \ lignity offered her flag by the kid nap- j ig of the Confederate Commissioners The London Times, which has been ex- | rdingly cautious in its language, and has > ver pronounced in fuvoi of our reoognin, says distinctly in one of its latest ises, that we will be recognized "when the i opcr lime comes ; and that time, it pro ds to snv, will ho when we have shown | r ability to maintain our independence, itbing will be easier, then, than for Kngtd to say that the time ha* arrived, and weed at once to recognise u*?a thing it the United States Government has anun. ed wib be a declaration of war. Be- \ es this, Great Britain may do, what we I nk she ought to have douc long since, itest against the blockade, and destroy it it be not removed by the Federal Gov* iment So it will he seen that she is not ihout other cause* of war, even if it be le that her demands with regard to Mason i1 Slidell are not complied with. One ng is certain?that if an exemu* he need, that excuse will be found Wars have en entered into liv the British Govern- j nt on far less provocation than has been | nrded by the Federal Union, if il has been determined to surrender j r Commissioners and to analogize f'>r the I , it is diflicult to conceive of a lower j?th of infamy than that to which the re proud United State* will have deaeenI. To the capture of those gentleman it Government is pledged by its own ist authoritative sanction. We need not nprtulate the evidence, as it has already in given. But although humiliation seems be something of w hich the Federal Ad nistrulion nntiMiira t.. I.n In*..?. I - rr ? - } , this last not ought to damn it not only the eyes of the whole world, hut it ght to I oho its u? n keif re*pect, if indcd ?vor had nny. The eagerness with which Great Britain /ed upon the Trent outrage shows the nt of her inclinations We are willing believe that alio cherishes the honor of r tl ig, and feel* sensibly any indignity bred it. Hut the l.omlon Times, al High it trie* to be fierce about it, and tidy drivel* oil' into nonsen*e, admit* that | re are other causes of complaint, in vol ig the interest of Hngiand more tuan s laatntfnir does tier honor; nnd the Lnnii Chronicle come* out boldly nnd de re* the seizure of Messrs Mason nod dell, coupled witli other things, make* i present "situation" unendurable, and claims that the conduct of the North vws that it is, in every resptct, "without Iter scruple or policy." We conclude, therefore, that whatever' ir*e may be pursued by the Lincoln Ad ! lustration, "the end i* not cut " Ti...r io d illicit11v in finding excuse* for a Mar, ! it in the intercut of foreign powers to do We believe that it in tlieir interest, nnd beliove moreover that lite excuse* are at ntnpiy and sufficient.

Richmond, January 2 ? 1 lie Richmonr Enquirer publishes to morrow, from tlx Baltimore Sun ot the 3<>th. tlie demand o the English Government for the restitutio! of Messrs Mason and Slideli, the nnswei of Seward, and the response of Lord Lv oris. The English Minister is short line pointed. Seward surrendered instantly but closes his reply with a multiplicity ol words. Ile argues through first!ies and second' lies, that the Southern Commissioners were contraband and liable to capture. lie says. However, that the laws of nations while justifying the capture of the enemy's Ministers as contrabands, do not, as in this case, properly provide formulas for adjudieating the capture. This he says, might have been obviated if the Trent find been retained, by proceeding against her, which would have been tnoiaily a decision in the case of the Commissioners The moral certainty of the character of Mason und Slidell Would have been sullicient to meet the spirit of (tie law, hat the Trent being dismissed, this source was lost Seward nays, substantially, the capture of Mason aud Slidell was an operation to and restoration demanded hy all those principles which have ever obtained ;n American political udministrnlionship, and to vindicate which the United States Went to war with Kngland. Decling to surrender the (Joinmissioners he w ould violate the long maintained dogma of his own country, a dogma which he approve* The summary point- in the Kni/uircrs editorial rays : 1st. The capture was right when tested by justice, law and decorum. 2d. Its advantages must lie surrendered upon the assumed technicality In u Court where there are no pleadings. 3d. The capture was wrong, as pledged by principles always maiotaine I iu the United States even to the extremity of war. To Seward's labored effort, l?ord Lyons makes n brief reply and to the point, lie says he has sent lii.s (Seward's) words to I'-ngland, sod lie w ill sec hnn soon, and re ceivij the Minister*. The IMulad. li.hia Bulletin any*, whatever ha* been yielded was only owing to the imperative necessity of avoiding a foreign war, nrui that while we have a domestic one, it is heller not lo stand on ptinelilos, and run the risk of the Union being de*< trnyed hv an alliance between ll.e rebels unit the lending powers ot Uurt.pe. The New York l?x/>re.i$ says the United Mutes surrender* to a necessity, which will soon impose on us other necessities from our connection with Ureal liritain, to which we must yield or tight. Ninety days will not elapse wi'hout a further insulting demand from the Ki.glitih oligarchy. The llxjiress advises instant preparations for war, to the extent of u million and u half of men, and says the Administration have given up Mason and Slidell, not to law, equity or right, but to necessity, and that the American Kugle, in its trials and troubles, is humbled lor the first time to the British I jo.;. The rebellion on hand drags down the fl.'.g never before humiliated hefore Kngland. I jtt us as Americans, hang ing our heads because of our humiliation dismiss the subject with as much silence as possible.
