In the Court of Common Pleas in Co lumbia on Monday last, representative Whipper, colored, appeared for Peggy Bolton, colored, charged with assault and battery upon a lady. What the result to Peggy, is not stated. The Phoenix says this is the first appearance of a colored lawyer in the Courts of this St ite. The Marion Star, however, says that J. J. Wright, a colored lawyer, hail ing from Beaufort, was in attendance at Court last week, and succeeded in con vieting two clients whom he defended, Unprecedented. We learn by the Edgefield Advertiser that the trial of Hillery Hardy and Lewis Freeman-two negroes-for the*aurder of Mrs. Elkins, terminated on Thursday in a mis-trial, the jury after three days attention, failing to agree upon a verdict, and on Friday to the astonishment and indignation of the whole community, the prisoners weie released from jail upon their own recognizance, by authority or Judge Platt. An unheard of and most iniquitous proceeding, and one to which the records of this State will not show a parallel. Death of "Ana Hearts." The New Orleans papers chronicle the death of Major George McKnight. He died in that city on the 10th inst., of c)nsumption. Major McKnight wa< a brother of Robt. McKnight, Esq., - d tor and proprietor of the Unionville. Times, and served an apprenticeship at the Printing business in Columbia, S. C., from which city he removed in 1850. Connecting himself with a Louisiana regiment at the breaking out of the war, he was elected -Major, and at length made prisoner, was con#ned on John-. son's Island. During this imprisonment h: became celebrated as a writer eve, the signature of Asa Iieartz. In hi untimely death, the craft, of which be was an ornament, is called upon to mourn. Our sympathies are with he~ afficted family, among whom- is a lovely and accomplished a ife. The legislaure. S-rty and two days, (and how many dollars we have no just- conception of,) have been spent by this superlative body. (begging the S. C. Republican's pardon), and the end is not yet; it still sits in de I ghtful leisure, waxing fat and sleek on h e per diem. Will it Eit forever ? the saints forbid. A proposition was made, or resolution offered, last week, to ad journ on the 25th, but it was tabled ; we trust, however, that a ray of hope mity be based upon that, and that this great indefiniteness will some time come to a close. The Republican objects to the terms scalawags, &'c., as applied to this body, by the "provincial" press so-called, and lest we fall into odium also, we call it a superlative blood-sucking party of leeches or'vamnpires, feeding on the life blood of the State and people they pro fess to represent. That some good has been done cannot be denie-d, and it would be passing strange if it were not so, re membering the wisdom of a.few, and the conservatism of others, who add a por. tion;of dignity to it, that is as far as it gots. But the time, and the money ! There's the rub. One of the few good things is,that on Wed-nesday last, eighty - seven out of the number present, inclu ding our own Newberry worthies, passed the act to-re-enact certain acts lending the name and credit of the State to the Greenville and Oolumbia Railroad Com pany, and to validate the action of the said company thereunder, the act having previous&y passed the Senate. This was right, and good for the road, and better that it was done in the face of Goy. Scott's objections. -But the burden of the song is the same, they sit. ~Among the items of the past week, we notice that Henderson, our Jeems, has "struck ile" or an idea has -struck Jim which gives hope of "ile." Hawing free riding on the brain, the following preamble and r,ssolution were offered : Whereas, That railroad companies of Georgia, either by consent or by action of the General Assembly, are now pass ing members of her Legislature free of charge over all the roads in its State ; therefore be it Resolved,. By the House of Represen tativa,-the Senate concurring, that the General Assembly of Sou0th Carolina take such measures- as may secure the same privilege for her members. A happy idea, but a hat-pier one would be free boarding, and a resolution may soon be looked for askinig action in re gard to free boarding in Hotels and pri vate houses. The v eloci p ed e has appeared in Charleston. Goveri-or Scott has issued an order to Colonel F. J.

In Washington, the other _day,.th.e ?Repu611caCommiitee decided that ne grbes should not be rdmitte l to the rVg ular inauguration ball, except- as. WAIT ERS. ' It always happens so. Every time a Radical is asked to vote for a negro he advises the negro to wait -not to push his claims yet-that the public mind is not- exactly ready. That is to say, the Radicals accord more WAIT to the negro's demand for office, privilege, and place, than is some times tasteful to Cuffee. Cuffee is a man and a brother, no less for all that-isn't he? Some months ago, the State of Iowa voted negro equality. Some weeks ago in that same State, a negro juror was regularly drawn, with other citizens; and a Radical judge ordered him out of the jury-box, saying, "The election was a complimentary affair, not intended to confer actual benefits, and it is presump tuous for any negro to claim a place or position white men only are fit to fill." The negrojuror waits. Menard, a negro, was elected to con gress from Louisiana ; and the Radicals maneuvered him out of his seat. He has gone back home-to wait. The Iowa Radical judge thinks Cuffee ought to wait. The Inauguration Committee are of the same opinion. Mernard got the same advice in Wash ington. And why not? Waiting is a sweet privilege to the negro ; and he appreciates it. He is grateful for the advice. He loves his Radical lords-licks the sweet Radical hands that lash him-whines approving ingly to the Radical mastei that orders him to vote for Radical officers-and thanks the Radical for the glorious privilege of wAITING. Will Cuffee NEVER see how this thing is going? - ' J. W. D. Exchanges The New Eclectic for March Is Just received.

French paper in regard to- the visit of Mr. Davis to the School above named, allow me first to say that the School of St. Cyr, as the Polytechnic School, is un" der the command of the Minister of War. The first Military School established in France, by Lewis XV., in 1731. was located in a spacious, Mon.mental Building, erected at the extremity of the Champ de Mars. (1) Abolished in 1793, the Military School was soon succeeded by that of the "Sons of March." encamped in the field of Sablons, which, however, lasted but a short time, In 1802, Napoleon the 1st, re-established the Military School; this he established in the left wing of the White Horse Yard, in the~ Palace of Fontainebleau. In 1808, he re' moved it to the old Royal House of St. Cyr, erected by Lewis XIV, and it is there that the Military School stands to-day. Every Frenchman from 18 to 21 years of age, who passes the examination held every year by the Minister of War, is admitted to the School. When admitted, he contracts a military engagement of seven years. At the end of three years, the scholars are brought before a board of examiners, and if accepted are sent to different regiments as second Lieutenants, but if rejected, are sent to other regiments as privates. (2) It is to this nursery,the glory and the hope of Prance,. that Jefferson Davis paid a vi-it on the 20th of January last. He was escort ed by two officers of the old army of the South, and by Mr. Slidell, who was the Re presentative of the Confederate States dur, ing the War of Secession. The French Gen eral De Goudrecourt. Director of the Milita ry School, received the distinguished visitors with the most marked courtesy, and the rvgiment of school boys being at the time under arms, one of their number was placed in commana, and the old Minister of the United States the old- Director of West Point, and the gentleman at last, who was for more than four years the soul of one of the greatest struggles recorded in hisrory, exhibited an admiration which he did not try to conceal, while witnessing the admira, ble drilling of these youths, who are the personification of the Military qualities of all Frenchmen. When at rest, Mr. Davis spoke English with a number of the younge men. He then visited the study rooms, the amphitheatres, the collection rooms, and the marble tables on which are engraved, in letters of gold, the names of all the scholars who have been raised to the rank of generals. Thus ended the visit of Mr. Davis, who left the School perfectly satisfied with the proficiency ex hibited. and with the sympathetic welcome of t,e School boys of St. Cyr. (1.) This spacious building retains but one remembrance of what it was before 1789 and that iF a small room occupit-d by the grt at Napoleon, when he was a scholar of that Institution. - (2 ) To the pride of that School I might say, :hat among the best and bravest gener. nlie of France, an immense number come from the scholars of St. Cyr ME.

But I reckon a man what can't pay the passon haint no bed, nothin but a board.

I thought that migh ty cheap for a good wife, but law me, now, they aint worth nothin. I think It is puttin a female woman down mightily.

Fur this purpose, they shall be provided a itht a long rod, having a leather thong attached to it, with which they are to lash on the head all those - who are found sleeping."
