During Inst week tho vronthor changed from a pleasant to a very decided winter temperature. Since, rain has fallen in moderate quantities, but it is still very cold. The frequent freoaes and unseasonable weather generally has retarded tho needing of wheat by our farmors. The mountains have been covered with snow, and we have tho foretaste, thus early, of another severe winter. Legislative Proceedings. The Legislature of South Carolina assem uicu in uoiumma on *uonaav last, ami procoedod to business. In the Senate, presentments of grand juries, petitions, memorials, etc. wore made.

It. is tho best digested ami ablest report that has emanated from tlx Comptroller's office, and shows up tho bank! in tlioir tmo colors.

Time's ever whetted bludo has wreaked its t,( ( full vengeance ujkhi the gifted of Carolina's lni sons within the last few years. First, Cai.- 'al iiocn, then McDcrrix, Ciieyes, and others, | ou nre hewn down. And now, it is our sad du- tM ty to announce the death of Uon. Jahf.s 11am- lie it.To.v, by accident. On his passage in the ',n I steamer Qpelousas for Texas that vessel was 1,11 run into at night by the steamer Galveston; ''' the Opolousus sunk immediately, drowning (Jon. 11. and twenty-five others. (Ion. Hamilton had ability nnd was uni- cx vcrsally popular throughout tlio State in its 182S-oO. In early life he was elected to the ar Legislature, then to Congress, and afterwards hi flovernor <if the Stnte. If? nlso ilihl lmrni-ilii.il I lb himself in the war of IS 12. Of late years, ho in has taken littlo or no part in the political af- bii fair.s of the State, being engaged principally N< in looking after his private interests in Texas. Latterly, his friends had suggested his name M | us a successor to tho himented Biti-ek, hut alas! the scytho of time has again filled the uu State with sobs and mourning, and left us ha without a political compass ! f(I The "Fair" at the Fair. wi The bachelor-editor of the Yorkvillc lint/Hi' gti rcr thus opens upon the fair in nttondnnco nt G< the late State fair in Columbia: f0 There were objects at the fair to please tho hi eye, the taste anil the fancy of the fastidious p amateur and tho judgment and good nonse of " the plain, substantial farmer. Considered as an evidence of the unflagging interest manifested I 111 111vr |muiiiuiiuu ui ugricuuurui pumimn, nod i the substantial prosperity of tho country, it was ti decided "hit." In spite of tlie monetary dc- tr prossion the hotels were crowded, nud 110 person seemed inclined to stint himself in the least.? At any rate, every one appeared to enjoy the gc cheap luxury of looking on the fair lookers oil? m a pleasure especially tiprnpo on such occasions. f)p For really there was nothing J'ftir-cx' than the contributions from all parts of the State of bean- ' ty and bright eyes. The ladies, particularly w those from t lie country, were decidedly the best g( gotten up articles exhibited. Anrl what sight I is more refreshing than a beautiful woman? We met in the Fair grounds a blind man. How re we pitied him! Not, however, because he could not see the endless variety of capes, collars, . skirts, chemisettes, and other elegant envelopes 1 ui uuniwtiui nuianunoau. oui neeau.se wie ligiu ui of womnn'B eye, tho varied panorama of fair gU brows and sunny smiles dawned not oil his benighted orbs.

It is useless to deny w the power of beauty. We were not solitary in gi our admiration. Many an eye turned from the y, garish pomp of dress, of costly quilts, carpet- ^ ing and gossamer work, to gaze upon the en- . chanting loveliness of woman.

Mr, K<lii0r: Wo am untlor the impression that this tiling is sadly ncgloctcd by gontlcn,.,i nnriitnt.lv uliln to irivc tlioir daughters as good tin education tvs tho country affonls. But in tho strain to uiftko politicians, statesmen, and heroes of tlioir Bons, tlioir daughters are left to gain their education, cither at tho spinning wheel, tho loom, or tho noodle. This, wo think, is wrong, very wrong; for, in my liumblo opinion,young ladio* need as much attention shown thom in their education as young gentlemen. For just as k(m)u i?s tlioro is a falling off in female educatiou, thty commonco to loose tlioir equilibrium in society. Tlioy at oucetibruso to bo ^ tho angel* of our ilrea.-t*. Those noble and iutclloctual qualities, that, a refined education dcvclopos in them, will be ffcen no more.? And instead of tho lovely beings thai they were intended for, wo will find them ignorant nnd uninteresting. What is more Inter oatirig, cither in a crp^cjed parlor or fc tivo hall, than an nocompliRhod lady. " It is not the beauty of face and figure that attracts the attention of the wise, but it is generally the beauty of mind and heart, that elicits tli'o greatest nttcntion, n?d creates the create?t sensation in society." I fiuicy myself strolling along a street, in a beautiful little village, while the moon is pouring its resplendent rays on lofty domo and lowly hut. All iMUiin* isHiuuvuHi 111 u turu i?i ouijinn* ity and loveliness. Hush, what is that I hear; it soundu like nil the nightingales in iho heavens had stiung their harp* nn<l wore wafting their invent- notes to the evoning zephyrs, and I listened to them ns they rovorborute on hill and dale. What iuit? nh, now 1 see. It is a young lady sitting in a beautiful vino clad bower, with guitar in haud, whilom a sweet angelic voice,.she sings " Koll on 3ilver moon, guido tho traveller his wav, While tfio nightingale 8ong is in tunc I'll iiAvnr nnv'At* u-SHi \\\v trim Iafa will stray By tlio 8wcot silver light of the moon." I stood for a moment spell bound to tho spot. That angelic voieo aceompauied by the sweet notes of tlie guitav, semis u thrill to my heart. "Who is she? Why, it iH Miss A. | or B. who has just rotured from College.? That solves tho wholo mystery at once?thr is an uciMnplu/iat- lady. And I returned to my lodging, and for a night or so afterwards my dreams arc assooiutod with beautiful moon light nights, vino elad bowors, nightingales, farios, virgins, paragons of perfection, and * cvorvthinir of the kind, as thev dance hnfni-A mo (adorned with every jjrftcc} with guitar in hand us thev fling? " Roll on silver moon, Ac." Altho' this is but an outburst of fancy, vot there ib n moral to be- gained from it, and t he moral is this: Tlmt thero is no true conception of the influence an accomplished lady has on mankind in general. Men may drink-? men may swear?men may do any thing that you may bo pleased to mention, but tlmy aro not going to do it knowingly, when an accomplished hightoned lady will either see or tiofit ot it.

The Love Crtrc. A rcccnt number of the Cincinnati Times says: Our Western llescrvc is becoming quite noted for its adoption of illicit, doctrine* and prneticcs. The "higher law" principle first invoked, during an intensified feeling relative ho slavery, is now applied to ?ji:~?tions of a moral or soofcl oh well as political natuvo. The last movement of especial im? portance, in that region, is the establish* nient of what is termed i "Love Cure." It seems that a community of Soeiul llovolutionists lias boon organized at IJcrlitt Heights, in Erio county, that they have purchased property* and nro now making arrangements to demonstrate in their own lives, the beauty of their "reformation."?
