We fear, however, that our fruit is all killed hy the nipping frost. We have fx! | atnined n numher of fruit trees, and liud the gdrins black and dead. ' Now is n busy time with our farmers, and we hopo for thorn a rich harvest. *-?*.

(Texas State Convention lias passed an ordinance ] declaring the Gubernatorial chair vacant, and also, of tlie Secretary of State, on account of the refusal of those officers to take the oath before the Convention. Poor old Sam, lie struggled hard to achieve the independence of Tex at;, and is entitled to the lasting gratitude of his people. And if now, in the decline of years, his head whitened hy the frosts of many winter?, and his body tottering under the effects of old age, he becomes unruly ami stubborn, Sons of Texas! kindly remove him from his chair, and install your Mr. Clark with no show of triumph over the champion of'l'exinn liberty. *' Pee Dee has had a Cold Shoulder." The editor pro torn, of the Marion Slur is much angered at the reuent appointments of his Excellency Governor Pickens, and re-echoes the "complaint" of his correspondent " F," who, by the way, is a right gallant gentleman. Whether Pee Dec has been wronged or not, is a i]tiostion we do not choofc to discus?, \o; | we think our friend of (lie Slur a? i Hi born 1 in i his criticisms upon men as his Kxcellcncy has I been ungenerous in the distribution of honors. I We do not propose to advocate the claims of these gentlemen respccti\ely, of whom the Star speaks in such unbecoming language, but to lend our endorsement to some of the appoint ments which wo think our Governor has in wisdom and justice made.. And first, the appointment of Gen. Smith to to a Majoralrv, which we heartily ay prove, and think deserving, because of his noble exertions in having raised a regiment ami tendered it to Gov. (Jist, even before the passage of the bill by the Legislature, providing "an armed mili- j tary force" for the defence of the .State. Gov. Gist felt himself unauthorized to accept the regiment at that time. This reciirent was dis banded by the subsequent action of tl.c Legislature, and Gon. Smith then entered the .inks as n private in a volunteer company. But (Jen. Smith was not, before this time, without military character, he had been General of his Brigade, and was an efficient soldier and gallant officer. Wo are pleased to sec that the S'rir, although not endorsing the appointment of Gen. Smith to the Majnralty, is disposed to give him ere lit f.?r his self-sacrificing spirit and devotion to the rights, interests and honor of his S'iite. But what so stings our friend of the Slav, and so much excites his spleen, is the appointment of Oon. MeQowan to a lirigadier Generalship. This we think a go>d, a just and deserved compliment to one who has shown his devotion to his State, not only in our 'ogi"dative halls, hut u,)on tho buttle fields of Mexico, and under the f dds of tho Palmetto flag. And whatever may he the opinion entertained by our friend of tho 8' ir, Gen. MeG.nvan's support of Gov. I'iokons does iufc depreciate him in our ostimation, nor lesson his character for tact, talent and military capacity. liut>the Star goes on and recounts the various acts of injustice dono by his Excellency, and fi'innludes hvsavintr that the "erowninrr nrt of injustice was tho Into Appointment of tlic General of Brigade." Tho military character of Gen. Bonhain requires no vindication at our hands, and his claims arc too well known to the public to need their recital. In conclusion, friend Star, do not let your antipathy to Guv. Pickens betray you into acts of injustice, of which you so much complain, and induce you to speak dispnr igingly of men who aro above the shafts of envy, and arc in ovcry sonso as good, as amiable, and ascfTicicnt in arms as your worthy sons of tho I'co Deo country. Death of a Citizen. Wo regret to learn fi'om the lilue liulge Jlrraid. that Alfred M. Carnontor.

We think, however, that tho Black Republicans will grit their teeth, and curse their falo when thoy aro told that Maj.

Tho imrrionn I , - . . ? ? ? i ready is under our supervision, find the men and j officers me to nil intents and purposes our pria- j | oners of war.

We declare that property in slaves is a Constitutional right, and if the Federal Government impairs that right, the slavehnlding | States should ho found firmly united in itsdeI fence, ami in such events as may legitimately I follow, Missouri will share tlie dangers and the i destiny of her sister slavcholding States."

If any attempt made to prevent the evacuation in the order irected, Anderson is instructed to remain in i ovt Sumter, and open his batteries upon ie city.

The Commissioners of tlic Confederate bates have advices winch warrant them in claring to their friends that affairs look more kc peace than they have nncc the adjourncnt of the United Sates Congress. Hon. CJcorgG W.

He further states that, in a fair caucus the members of the Convention of Yirnin, it was shown that only three votes were anting to pass the Ordinance of Secession. 1 consequence of tlii< intelligence, Lincoln, -niglit, dispatched his former law-partner, rtl.

The following abridgement of the new T.w riff htws of the United States, adopted by tho Provisional Congress of the Confederate StutCH is tho most specific and useful compendium wo have seen. Tho genera! classification heretofore iriven hv Southern naners is not ii correct guide for merchants and others, becnu80 subject to specific exceptions made in the original actor by subsequent amendments. This abridgement (which wo copy front tho Rome Southerner") will inform importers of the duty tliey have to pay on specific articles. It appears to he made up with a view to those articles which our merchants will import from the United States and other foreign countries, which accounts for tho omission of sugar and other leading articles which will chiefly bo obtained from our own States. It should be ivnu 111 view or wic supplemental net ny which the Provisional Congress extended tho free list. We perceive that this schedule does not include in the free list " Gunpowder and all lnatcri ils of which it is made," which arc admitted free by tho supplemental act, and there may be other omissions. It may be well to remark (to prevent confusion) that thtf late United States Oongrc*s just before its ndjournment, revised and nntended the tarifl" of that Confederacy, but; that our t rift' was adopted before that revision, and has no reference to it : 8CIIKIH'I.K8 A ANIl M <)0 l?K.tt CBNT.
