The following synopsis of the discussion, prepared by the Lancaster Ixdyer, states the matter correctly: " It will bo remembered that some serious charges were made b/ tho Grand Jury of Newberry district in their presentments, against the Hank of Newberry and this instiuuton was ropuribil ua u h>'i>' ?no. other charges made, was one that the i'resi,nf Il.?

The President, in a soriesof articles published in thcConsorvntist, refi'tes the charges made against him and his bank and in roferonco to the charge above, states that " no one such circular was ever issued by me." After the publication of his article containing this Hat denial, he (as stated in the Sun) warned the press of Newberry that he would hold tho editors personally responsible should they allow any communication to appear in thoir columns derogatory to bis character. " The editor of the Sun, however, having a high regard fur tho liberties of the press, and seeming in no disposition to submit to bo " muzzled," has allowed to bo published in his columns a warm reply from tho foreman of the grand jury, wherein ho produces certificates from a number of cotton buyers of Newberry, from two ox-officers of the bank of Xowbnrry rtnil from otliov rocpnneible nourcos, | nit uiio^iilvrtv^Lflj to the lact, that such circulars had boon repeatedly issued by tho I'roaidont.

" The Conscrvatist has come to hand since the above was written, and we find that the editor of that paper also very warmly and properly rebukes the attempt made "to intimidate tho editors of tho Newberry press and j thereby put a check upon its freedom." lie, | however, allows tli?

In this, the 1 third one of tho series, lie (the President) admits that lie oipo, in the Fall of'55, when the cotton buyers ,**oro operating without letters of credit and fearing difficulty as to the acceptance of some of their drafts, sent a circular to each of them, which circular, as well as recollected, was as follows : ' Until further notice this Bank will not take drafts on cotton for more than $.'}<> per halo or 7 J per lb."'

Mr. Editor: I am sorry that I am compelled to trouble you with this short communication. Hut in looking over tho "Wulhalla Banner" of the 5th instant, I find an egotistic and erroneous article over tho "i^naturo f "Impartiality," in which my conduct as Marshal of Walhalla is hold up in quite an erroneous and ridiculous light. Audi think it is not only doing justico to myself, but to other people implicated in tliis scurrilous sketch, to givo "Impartiality," alius "Iik ?nwstcncy," alias "Insensibility," tho raking duwn that ho justly merits. In the first place "Impartiality" finds great fiilllt. with my {Hitting llio Tntc.nriaot'k (.1 If CM horses in tho Calaboose, or umrkut-honso. Well, now, I will just ask who should be more willing to conform to tho laws of our village, thnn tho law-maker himself. And in enforcing the law Against him when lie violates them, I intend to show that I use no partiality at all. Again he says, it is my duty to "watch tho eanino breed?puppies, curs, and bull-dogs." I would suv to liim that I have not neglected thin part o( my duty in tho least, for I have had my eyes on the mautiiV "Impartiality" for live or six months paused. Again lie says: It is my duty to ' keep tho side-walks clear of obstruction"?horses, carvlll. U...I T - to sine out the hours of tho night," etc. I would just link him or any other man within the Corporation, if the ninount paid the marshal will juatify liiiu to spend two hours of his time every day or night, to attend to thin or any other business connected with tho Town Council. Hut as to "singing out tho hours of the night," if it is not sung out it is played out, by a long cared, long eye-browed specimen of human nature, not far from the "beef-house," on a squeaking squalking old violin which will answer the purpose fcr tho present, I presume, pretty well. Again, ho wants me to stand at a particular place designated in his article, every Sunday, "with ears erect" (like a mule, 1 nun pose) "eyes wide open, month shut, hands in my pocket, legs ready for action." IIo wants mo "to liear o very thing, smell everything, examine everything, go ovorywhero (hut to church) remember everything," etc. Did j ovor anybody hear of such a tiling as this in the world? If any person will stand in the position designated above, with "Impartiality" barking at his coat-tail, and have a photographio picture taken Of'hurt, I will agree to serve thp remainder of my days as Marshal ofWallialla?for one to put on my dogirons to keep tho cats out of tho firo. In conclusion, I would say to this very imtr tmont writer, that I have filled my office >ottor than tho council has. Kvery one in the place is aware that I have indicted nor soiiH for different ofl'oncos, selling liquor, etc., and the Council have let them pass. "What is tho ubo to watch bar rooms, when the Council pay no attcution to my roports. No, Mr. FditOf. it in all .. grand humbug, ami us lor "Impartiality," lie is au insignificant quarrelsome follow, and over since ho has had access to a newspaper, ho has boon courting contrororsy, and thank heavon. ho has got his just duos rnco or twice, and I tell him now it no socs causo to use mv name any more, I shall undoubtedly show him up in his truo colors.

I also deny being imported into Pickens district by Anson UaNos & Co.. and n* to coining: " under tho provisions of tho vn- , grant net,"I leave that to the judgment of hotter men than "Impartiality." As to the Odes in the work alluded to, ho is either ignorant, or LIES wiifuiiy, and in fact tho whole communication seems to have been written in a bad Hpirit. and unless he retracts, his,Pastoral garb Khali not protect him from tho punishment lie deserves.

From Washington Washington, Juno 10.?The Senate to-day passed the British Aggression resolutions unanimously and then adjourned sinr dir. , Thu resolutions are the following : lietolvcdy (as the judgment of the Senate,) That American, vessels on the high seas, in time of pcaco, honring the American flag, remain under the jurisdiction of the country to which they belong, and therefore any visitation, molestation, or detention of such vessels r>v force, or bv the I exhibition of foreo, 011 tlio part of a foreign power, is in derogation of tlic sovereignty uj of the United States. Itf.no/vcff, That the recent and repeated II violation of this immunity, committed by vessels of war belonging to the navy of 1 (ircat Britain in the Gulf of Mexico, nnd I the adjacent aoas, by firing into, interrupt- J, ing, nnd otherwise forcibly detaining them on their voyage, requires, in the jndguient of the Senate, such unequal and final illsposition of the subject, by the government of Great Britain nnd the United States, touching the riirhts involved, ns shall pre elude heronfter tlio oecurronco of like aggressions. Resolved, That the Senate fully Approves the action of tho lCxecutivo in sending a naval force into tho infested seas, with ordors "to protect all vessels of tho United States on tho high seas from search or detention by the vessels of war of any other nation." A nd it is the opinion of the Senate, that, if it beconio necessary, such additional legislation should he supplied in aid of the tfxecutivo Power as shall ?uako such protection effectual..

A Pkcihion in Court.?Ycstordny, in \ the course of a civil suit, if \ru arc not mistaken, Judge Wnrdhiw delivered this position, that the summary remedy for giving possession to the landlord on tho ro?m|#r termination of the lease, docs not apply to cases when the loaso is perfected or determined by the non-payment of rent, or any other condition, and that in this latter case tho Court of Magistrates and Freeholders have no jurisdiction. If wo arc correct, the result of this decision, if confirrilcd by tho Court oi Appeals, to where it is to bo carried, will be, that the landlord must havo 4 recourse to a law process by trespass to try title.
