This truly great man died in Columbia on tho 201 h ult., in tho eighty-first year of hia age. lie was a native, of Abbeville, and entered public life whon young. As I a lawyer, ho took high position ; then ho , was Bont to Congress, whore, during tho 1 war of 1 412, he disiinguMied himself in debate, advocating the cause of his conn- j try against our natural enemy. IIo was afterwards elected Speaker of tho House. ! On returning home, ho was elected Judge- ' And afterwards appointed President of the j United Slates Hank. The Carolinian says his frame was Her- ' culean, anu his intellect massive and powerful, and he bore within himself ltoman HternnesS and Roman greatness, lie was one of the nolilcst sons of South Carolina.

Peace to his ashes?the Goddess of Fame leans on his tomb. The Court of Equity, For Pickens district, has been in session this week, Chancellor Daugan presiding. Tliere wore about forty eases on thedoekets, ! most of which were hoard and determined. There was one of much importance, which, at the proper time, wo may report for the benefit of all concerned. 11 is Honor dis- , patched business pleasantly, and his d yisions gave very general satisfaction. They j at least harmonized both law and equity most beautifully. An appeal wid probably be taken in one case. The expense attending suits in this court has furnished a fruitful theme for croakers. Two cases?bills for partition of real and personal estate?were disposed of at this term, which will set the matter at rest- J Ono of the estates, amounting to something , ? i r\K A A .<1.1 ...? ft.... 11 _ i tJVUr Tlvljvvu.vu, oislwcju IIJ* iiumijat a cost less than $400.00.

A convention of' the democratic party of Georgia convened recently,at Milledgeville, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor. Near one hundred ballot- , ings were had without eft'eotinar a nomination, U a urn Bit receiving a flattering, vote, j When he was withdrawn, Mensrs. Lumimun and Lamar were voted for by the 'convention, but neither could command a twothirds vote. Finally, Judge Josi;ph E. Brown was brought forward, and unanimously nominated. The nomination ha>> , given gonerul satisfaction, and. with the ] i ? : o. i *. i . uuiiiuurnuu iiinjurivy hi iiuii ouiiu, intense* tion may l>e regarded a9 ccrtain.

IT. Stephens qjj&v Jhfla beennominated as a candidate for Congress in hi* UbtrioJ* * > * Kansas. Tho elcciion in Kansas for members of tho constitutional convention to frame a constitution, preparatory to the admission of that territory into the Union us a State, lias resulted in favor of the pro-slaverv party. Tho ''free State men," however, had no candidates in the field. It is supposed that they rely on their uTopeka organization," and will ask Congress to admit them into this "glorious Union" with that bogus concern. This will have tho effect of producing excitement in Congress and throughout the country?food upon which tho ab olitionists live and thrive. Under these circumstances wo should not ! relax our efforts in succoring Southern interests in Kansas, and wo commend this view of llio subject to those who are prating about the "national democracy," and attempting to distract and divide the State upon past issues and prospective troubles. Let the South maintain her present position in Kansas, and all will be Well. Utah! Col. Ci MMiNG.s, of Missouri, has been appointed to and has accepted the Governorship of Utah. He is peculiarly fitted for the place. Troops are moving in that direction, and tho Governor's authority will bo supported by an adequate force. The days of Brioiiam Young's reign have been numbered, and with it wo may expect much i trouble. The foliowing paragraph from tho | Washington lf:iiun suggests n greater difficulty perhaps: " The difficulties to l>o encountered in Utah are inoro numerous and complicated than is now generally supposed. Among them may be incidentally mentioned that Brigham Voung claims a title to nil the lands in the Territory, and has never recognised the United States surveys. Nono of his followers have purchased lands in nc cordanoe \vit!j our laws. Honce, one of the delicate duties of the Federal Courts of that Territory will bo to establish and maintain the rights uf those who may horcafter purchase in accordance with our laws. Not an individual in all Utah now holds a loot oi iana ino mie 01 wnion is derived Horn the United States, and it follows, under this strange condition of things, that all parts of the Terrilcrry are at the present ti.no open to pre-emption." The Depot at Walhalla. We learn that tho site of the depot for Walhalla has been fixed on, and that it is being graded. It will bo built by contract* as wo understand, and completed at an early day. Later from Europe. Recent arrivals from Europe inform us hat the price of cotton had slightly advanced. The political intelligence is unimportant. Douglas Jehuold, one of the best litoraiy writers in England, is dead. A Hail Storm. About two years ?ig \ our readers will recollect that this district was visited by one of the severest hail storms ever known. i Hut worse than this is the account wo have ; of one in Buchanan county, Missouri.? ! There the hail storm "destroyed all the! crops and killed some cattle in the fields. | Several men were injured and one, a negro killed. The hail stones were as largo as ' goose eggs." Although our hail storm is two years old, we most respectfully ' knock under/ Missouri can lako our ancient "top covering _ ^ _ Correspondence. We clip the following paragraphs from E. K.'s interesting correspondence in the Edgefield Advertiser: s " 1 must he allowed, juRrtiere, to relate ;i couple of anecdotes. I will take no denial. So here goes without any further circumlocution. It not unfrequenllv happens that a Dutchman's bull is nowise inferior to that of the lri.?hi <n.

I once heard a i pretty good thing of this sort fall from the I lips of a little Dutchman named Conrad I Zinc. Encountering his smiling phiz the [ other day at a Baltnliion Muster, the inci, dent was brought vividly to mind. It seems thai on the occasion referred to, Zinc was expecting to gel a horse from Capt. Hariis for the purpose of riding oul into the country. (Conrad Zinc was " perfectly in Town" then.) Hut Smith, the ubiquitous Smith, vol in before our friend ftmiml ?nrl i * cr. . " , j | borrowed the horse. As tho ?nvied rider passed the piazin which n half dozen or , tnw of us wore seated, Zinc snng out to ' him in words like the following. ' Schmidt! oh, Schmidt, 1 dosh wish dm horsh would ! iro' you tlat on da ground 'fore you come a ' (p He off from dish ptacc." WhiUt ?v Pick| ens, last Spring, I met with on esteemed friend whoso colloquial powers are unsurpassed, and who by-the-by is n native of Edgefield Village. Among other#oodones, he lelnted the following anecdote, which I venture to retail or, nccottnt of its association with old Edgefield: There was once a candidate for the Legislature in your District, who advocated Agrariani&m. At h ceitnin gnthoiing of the Democrncy, n bhrewd old farmer took him up "short off," and expostulated with him upon the absurdity of his principles, " Don't you k()ow, Sir," said the farmer. " tlwit it would be in vain to make an equal distribution of property amongst nil the citisens? After the lapse of ft few year*, people would occupy, relatively, about (be ertmc position, in which wo now find them ; and I would liktMo know wluii you would recommend then?" # To this, quoth the candidate, who was nevei elected. " D?nd if I didn't have ano if in divide r " Fearful of making my last communication too lengthy, I omitted several items which may very properly bo introduced in to this letter. On my second visit to tlx great Tunnel, I was very politely showr through the Powder Mill by llic gentleman ly supcrinteudant. The Brave and sierr aspect aid Hutted by 8ome to tbe employed in establishments of this kind, is, perhaps not altogether imaginary. There is poteni cause for this seriousness on the part oi those who are engaged in manufacturing gun powder. A wreck at sea, when ibt storm-king, inn voice of thunder, shouts u the "barking waves," is awful and terriffit in the extreme; but, than this I ween, tin explosion of a powder magazine would b( still more horriblo and appalling. Knowing i hat my shoes had iron tacks in them, 1 fell rather apprehensive, as I walked across tin floor all begtimed with kill-seed. And al though I was extiemely glad of an opportu nity to inspect the interior of a Powdei Mill, yet I <lidn't feel the least inclined ei thor to hop, to skip or to dance. There i: a mystery connected with the process o making powder, and the secret is w<*l guaided by those who nrc interested. Sucl parts of the process, however, as nre pab-r. to the view, I proceed to give in as succinc a manner ns pos? Me, First, the sulphur charcoal and nitre (saltpetre) are pulverized in mortars by pestles shod with brass U prevent ignition. Next, the powder mate rials pass through coarse seives, and ar? then ready for granulation. This part o the operation is pretty apt to excite a smile About a bushel of the villainous compotuu is put into a sack, and dragged by machine ry, "around and around" on a circular bo: milffp linpvpn Kv? it rrrtk'xl - - ] "ft?" 9iuu nailed nl regular intervals upon the top o it.

Mr. Editor: I am not in tho habit of writing for public journals ; but I feel inclined to berj a place in your valuable paper for tho following remarks, concerning a school taught in our district under tho care of tho Uev. C. II. Si'baiiks. I havo this day witnessed what may properly be termed nn I eclectic Examination of his students, about forty in uumber. I noticed that several of bis classes presented themselves for exnmi* nation without any kind of book in hand whatever. Sentences for analysis, and problems for solution ; both Arithmetical and Geometric oal wore given; and I was forcibly struck with tho prompt and corrcct disposition mtidu of them. Tho examination in Geo gr.iphy.Natural Philosophy, and Astronomy was " Something New" and truly interesting even to the uninitiated. Mr. Stbakes certainly has a pleasant and happy method of impartation. one of the most essential qualifications in a Teacher. I was told that Mr. Si'karks has occupied Clnremont Academy, as principal, for five consecutivo years, ami lhat there is tio abatement whatever of his zeal in the good cause?an instance without a precedent, in the district. At proper intorvals, the crowd was entertained with music, vocal and in strumental, which added not a little to the interest of the occasion. Success to Claremount. The second session of Mr. Si'KAiu.V school will commence 2nd Monday in July next. ^ ^ B.J. w. Correspondence of the Keowee Cowrie *.

When, Harry, the driver, interrupted its by oblj'.idihp' at tho door an ebony face, (and a very long one it was ioo^ nwi sfuu, " Muster, I lie carriage is broke sir!" "The carriage, Harry ?'' replied his master.

" Wei), Harry, this is had news, truly," replied his master, "but harness in the mules and perhaps it will keep up till wo reach Claiksville." Harry went away to do as ha whs bidden, and left us alone, to enjoy our fire-side I'hnt. which I confess, lost a <rii>ni Hn.-il nf its interest', nficr we had heard of tho sail Accident of iho carriage, nml thought of * our excoetr.ngly light pnrsts, nnd tho long , miles that lay between us and homo. But whoever heard of earthly pleasuro unmixed with pain ? Thecventof the carriage'a breaking down toy, jnst at this particular crisis was too bad. Was it not trying ? and so*far, too, from a hhtck-sniithV shop ? But who ever hoard of a carriage,' or any other vehicle of tho kind, breaking near a blaoksnnth'a shop ? Such a thing may possibly happen, and when il doi-s, it should bo penned down and roinembeu'd, ns ono of tho strango events which do sometimes take place, but it falls to the lot of only tho happy few to recount ati event So signally in their favor. T3ut to do justice to the -onrriago, ami Harry's careful driving I must own that w? reached Claiksvillo duly, and with whole bones too, and now. the first thing to be done, was to hunt for a black smith shop which is not hard to find in Clarksvillc. I have been keeping my spirits up all tho morning's drive in iho bare hope, that probably, the carriage was not very badly broken, but as soon as I got a peep at tho knowing looks of the handsome young black-smith's face, all whs ovor with mr. and I lot go that straw of my hopes. I saw that wo were doomed to stop, but do not exactly know how long, yet tho uignificant looks of the black smith scorned to announce that it would be longer than anv of us would liko to be detained. "Well, sir," interrogated my relative, after the examination of the carriago had been long and well attended to "what repairs does the carriago ooed and how long will it tako you to do tho work ?" " Well, Mr." replied (ho tradesman, slowly and cautiously, " I stipposc that we can do llie work absolutely necessary, by tiiia time to-morrrow," and he looked up at tho sun, which was now, a good lazy man's height. 1 had prepared myself lo hear tho reply announced " hours," but I wop entirely unprepared to bear two dozen of them announced, and so were all, our party, but then, what could bo done? The blacksmith bad said, and like tlio Doctor orders, he must bo obeyed, and with a kind of comical desperation, wo .submitted, und half way leaped out, without paying much attention to dial bughl-to-be-done-nway? with fashion of being handed to and from carriages. For my own part, I could always got in and out as easy again, without tho assist a neo of a gentleman; for what isea&iI er than to ascend or descend tho stops of a carriage? A lady Con as well ascend them i as sho can door-step*, without help, and where is the lover, or husband, or friend, that will stand day by day, at the doors steps (a wait on os ? When* is the husband that will doit, oven when he lists nothing-ilso to do. No, this unnecessary part of their gallantry is nil saved for tho public eye, and he who is most attenlivo under its cognizance, is most relax nt homo; mark it my friend, and you will find it to bo true.
