Third Congressional District-T. J. Robertson, Columbia. Fourth Congressional District-J. N. Allen, Greenville. D. H1. Chamberlain, at large. The adoption of the - fifteen articles, and two hundred and thirteen sections of the Constitution, occupied the attention of Convention on Tuesday, the fifty-third an4 last' day. The President announced that it' received three several readings 'and asked -whther it be! adopted as a whole. The vote being taken, the excite ment and joy of. the unbleached and bleached broke out into rapturous cheer ing, waving of handkerchiefs, throwing of hats, hugging and slobbering,. while outsiders joined in making the din long, loud and terrible. Order being restored a resolution of thanks was offered "to the President for having behaved himself so well under the circumtances, which was responded to by the Hon. A. G.; when the party adim:nej, sine die. Th Negro Cnstituton Wi copy the following on this subject from the Charleston Mercury: They'Call this thing, begotten in illegitt macy, a constitution, and have the impu dence to ask, white men to vote for it. A like combination of folly, fraud anS li c6ntlousness was nev4O before submitted to the judgment of a civilized people. They propose to inauguratw a govern ment on a tristngiar foundation of igno alce, r~epidiation -nd miscegenation. The pu-tical power of the State is to be thrown into the bands of the uneducated ind depraved: Bna'fide sales are to be repediate4, debts denied, and. proierty stolen is -to be property lst. White children, boys and girls, are to be hud dtedAgether ,in the school room with you^g 6egroes, tnd'there is to be no law against the intermtarriage of irhites and blacks. The ionseauences of th adop tion and enforceinent of such a constitu tipn are inevitable..- AUl the neguoisav ing the power to vote, while'many of the white amen are disfranchised, the negroes ca put whom they please in office, and there can be no doubt that their choice will fall on those of'their own race. -It is'true thafthe converition, to avoid of feading.sthe' prejudices of white Radicals at the North,':has nouminated only white mezd to Congr-ess~'and to the principal htate offces, but when it comes to the lcaloffBces itwill be qluite another affair. It is not tin be suppos~ed that. the, white nraceas can humbug the negroes into gjingaV of theqt-offices, a'nd even it they did, their .number .is tso small that every wite Radical imithe' State might ha,. ar&ee, aw* gs tlire be many placeeto besiled bynegroes. There will be negro legislators, negroshrf, ngr. constables, negro tax collectors,1 -egro ordinaries, .negro~ judges, negro mayors, negro aidermen, negra police. In shiort crery petty office in the State will be lilkd by utgroes.- And itis just in those offlees, that. they will eQume most in collision with the white people. A negro Congressmau, a negro Governor, a negro legislater may be' only a good suject of rdcl,but a negr ojudge to decree away life or properly, a negro po iceman with a club in his hand, and a negro may@r, with the power offine-and imptaanent, are .mpreu more serious affar.fWe mistake the' ,haracter a.ndi temper of onr white population, if they will long :6submit with patience to the anroyanhces, insuit.; amd oppressions to wich these thinigs 'wilt give rise. - In regard to edecation, moust-white peopie will keep their childrew from the public schools, but white pesople too poor to have their chikdren.educated.othorwise are to be compelled to send them to the public schools. Will' the poor white men of this State submit to such compulsion ? No, indeed. .The adoption of this con stitution and the.attempt to enforce it, will prod:ice evil, and may end in anar chy. In oer judgmoent, the white race in South Carolina, should have'- nothing to do with any of the elections put ting such a governmenit over them. They -should consider it a nuility, and bide their time to make it so. It is set up by the swrord ; and it does not become them, to aid the sword, ini theiri own ruin and1 degradation. Washfngtoa Gomip. The Miorsuspodent of the Bailtire Sa, says' 'Big Scare" seems to have takcen pos session of certain officials here, and upon the suggestion of Mr. Stanton and others who apprehend some mysterious combi nation of Mosby's satelites and other ex rebels to at tack and take possession of the capitol, an additional military force has been orde.red here, anid for three days past have been "sleeping on their arms." Four military companies are among the recent acquisitions to the troops sta tioned here. All thtis military move ment seems to be based upon curbstone gossip of the revelutionary purposes of somebody who wants to get rid of Con gress. This "scare" excites the merriest ridi cule among the law-abiding people here. The N. Y. Herald's correspondent ives more coioring to the scare : It is understood to-night that the ex pectation of an attack from the Virginia shore has within the past few days, taken a more substantial form than was at first anticipated. It is known that an order has iust been issued in the War Depart ment directing forty army wagolts, with tean,s and teamsters, to be kept in readi ness to move at a moment's notice for the transportation of supplies. Private orders have also been issued to the com manders of garrisons about the city to keep their commands, both officers and men,.in quarters.

The reasons why the cemetery ;rounds should be.enclosed and beauti aed, are so pertinent, and the appeals which the memories of the sainted, be-, loved dead make to the living, to render Lhe "silent city rf death" at once the mit hallowed, and lovely spot of earth, tre o evident and suggestive to all, hat we pretermit them, 'ad ifimply in rite the earnest attention of the public ta the proceedings of the Cemetery As ;ociation in another column. Old Mr. Grant, the father of Ulysses, lias Samuel, the man on horseback, is ~ut with another anecdate. The precoc ty of the boy Sammy was truly won lerful.. The reladon is that when aun' i nfant in his father's armie,. bis fingers c rere once put upon the trigger of a load- S d gun and pulled hard enough to dis large the piece, the sound of which so elighted the inant Mars, that he cx- 1 laimed, "Fick-it-agin !" We would like so much tol aae a copy a f this forth-coming work. Our suibscription ha so steadily and argely increased since the beginning of .a he present volume, that we feel fiat ered into an expressio-i of thpnks to the a nany kind friends who have aided us sot ubstattially.' K!'ch day brings us addi- e ;ional names'; names of old friends, who e irmerly. took the paper, but were laLter- r y prvented, in some instances by athe t bsence of mail facilities, and in others 4 y the absence of the great needful--mnon- 3 iy.

Our Creas' The use of the X mark, as a sign .that subscriber's time has expired, works1 enerally like a charm. True, our friends h not all like to'see it-and we do not blame themn-:but as it is the best means nown among the fraternity, and is so uccessful, it will soon be better .appreci ated. We regret that a few have shown their dislike by becoming offended and eusig to respond to the call to renew, hereby furcing the alternative on us of stopping the paper to them. The offence s only temporarily felt, however, for nearly all of them come back again, after I calm look at the thing, recognizing, the necessity on our part of adopting just such a wholesome measure. We would not offend them for any considera- 1 tion. We utse the. X, reader, as the most convenient, the best, in fact the 1 only suitable means of effecting the pur-a pose designed, that is of letting the sub scriber know that his time haa expired, nd inviting him to renew. If it is not eeded, we stop sending. It is simple, and we hope will not hereafter prove, offensive. We all have crosses to bear.

His gratitude to the sex generally, and his admiration of t little women in particular, induces us to insert the following: In a little precious stone what splendor meets the eyes ; In siVttk lump of sugar how much sweet.. ness lies I So in a little woman, love grows and multi plies : You recollect the proverb says-"a word un I to the wise." A peppercorn is very small, tut seasons every dinner, More than all other condiments, though 'tis sprinkled thinner ; I Just so a little woman is, It love wil letyou win her, There's not a j6y in all the world you will not fnd within her, And as within the little rose you will And the richest dyes, And in a litle grain of gold much price of value lies, And from a little balsam much odor doth arise So io a little WoMan there'sa taste of Para disc, The skylark and the nightingale, though small and light of wing, Yet warble sweeter in the grove than all the - birds that sing ; - And so a little woman, though a very little thing, Is sweeter far than sugar, and Bowen-that t bloom In spring. A subject for all seasons, is courting, but the mode varies aiccording to circum a stances, for though all are propelled by i the same influence, and arrive at the I "consummation devoutly wished for,' a some have more difculties than others, I their course of true love runs smoothly % not much ; with some however its as easy s as failing off a log. For instance Jennie sighed, and Robin egue"d her Pretty te trimbling baud, e Thei with eluping arm he selad her FaW reluitant form, and-and ILoose me !" but he clasped thatl hter '-.Jennie, my, wilt thou be pm'. Then her bri ht face grew much brghter, And abe wispered, I Tan hine. Then they clasped echother fondly, e Close together as two bFicks, And they issed each othe muehly, And-I eft them-in. that Am! A good fix too, by all odds I and, leav ing them there, let us hear the 'Fat Con tributor's' sketch of Richard Ill. Some of our readers may onlybave read-Shak speare's version, and if so we ecomend the following to them: "Richard the Thiird was one of-the Skings of England, who had a wonderful faculty of bereaving. the family of.any perkorn he did not like. He could pro s vide a-funeral with a corpse upon as Sshort notice as any man in the busainess. He couldn't be fooled into a Llargain bornuwith his eye teeth cut. .His nurse e let him f-ll when he was an mnfan&, and Sa hump back was the consequence. Hie .belonged to the royal family to be sure ; ebut he was poor at one tame, and obtain e almanac. It was called '-Poor Richard'a a Almanac." Old Beni Franklin did his printing.- Richard suffered gre.at discon tent in wtnter, and frequently alluded to it, particularly if he had to- go onth Sstage anyirwhere. This winter of his dis V content was only reitered by the .visits s of a little son he had in Ygrk, who unade 'orious summer" for him even in tbc middle of January." ia bright youth, son perhaps of farmer 'Jones' wife, -she- of fte tdader heatted gboys, on being asked what he ~a going to do with a club, said "Sepd it to the editor of course." "But what for?" "'Cause he says if anybody sends him a club, he will send them a paper." "But what does he want with it?". "Well, I dont know," replied this hope. ful,"unless it is to knock down su'bs&i hers with as don't pay for their paper; - and cut up their conscienc.es for shoe - strings." That boy will do. It was Mrs. Smith who said she had lived with the defendant for eight years: -And does the court understand that ayou are married~ to him ?" "In coursp it does." "Have you a marriage certificate ?" "Yes,.your honor; three of 'enu-tWO gals and aboy." . What stronger proof need be given el loving her, than this answer of a demon strative youtb, when asked by his swept L heart "did he love her I" - "Love you ? Does a kitten love a ; warm brick? - Noes a Dutchmian lovi lager beer?i Does a Jack-donkey lov .thstles ? Answer me that." Mrs. Partington again: "Ayer's Pills for_costliness! dear me do they cure it;?" said the good old lady. "Then why .don't our President take thema to stop his revenew, which is ac dreadful expansive ? If he was my hus -band, I'd feed him on them till they cured him of all his failins." A boy and girl of tender years were disputinag as to what their mothers could do. Getting impatient, the little dlamsel d blurted out by the way of climax and a fa clincher : ""Well, there's one thing my mother can do that yours can't ; mj - mother can take every one 'of her teeth d out at once." "Bless me, Mrs. Johnson, I really thoi you had gone to the subbubs," said Mrs, t Bumble at the sanctuary on Sunday. S"Law sakes, no ; do tell; wh y we've only moved into the kitchen." e Did you ever! why bless usno. - finMMERIALT.. lqZw3ZYa, March 2.-Cotton Armor at 280, 1Nxw oa,Marchb28-7 P.
