Walhalla, April 3.-Editors Courier: Wo havo before us a copy of the Pen dletou Mcsseugcr, dated October 10th, 1832. Ur. F. W. Ny moirs was the editor and proprietor-boiupt No. 30, Volume xxv, of tho famous old jourual. The Kubjeot thou of paramount importance was Uuiou or Nullification, tho nullifiers being in a large majority. On October Otb, 1832, uudoi the proclamation of Ooveroor Hamilton, an oleotioo was held for member* uf the Senate and House of Representatives.

Tho Legislature convened at tho timo and place designated and called a constitutional convention, which, being eloctod and assomblod on tho 24th day of November ensuing, * assed, with groat unanimity, an ordinance nullifying tho high unconstitutional tai itt law passed by Cougross. Tho Messenger had li ve columns to tho pago, indifferently printed. Tho issue before us is full of politics. Au article of unusual length gave a very full ac count of a barbecue dinner given to Hon. Warren R. Davis, Congressman, at Pumpkintown, on the 0th of October, 1832. Mr. Davis made a speech that pleased his constituents. A committee, consisting of Col. Bonham, Wm. Suth erland, Richard Goodlott, Col. M. C. Hammond and Dr. J. Robinson, reported a preamble nod resolutions, denouncing a protective tariff and thanking Con gressman Davis for tho able manner in which ho represented thom, were unani mously adopted. The socrotory reported that there were between five hundred and eight hundred voters prosent. Wo ha ve always beard that this mooting was held on Table Rock and that tho Pump kintown artillery company, with thoir cannon, boomed forth a fine salute to tho occasion. The Messenger was liberally lilied with advertisements. James McKinney was Sheriff of Anderson, and W. D. Sloan, Sheriff of Plokens. W. L.

W. lloykin. dispensary director, have returned from Cinoilinati, where they went as a committee to look into the cost of a bottling plant and a Sterilizing outfit. Thecoinmitt.ee visited several of the most important houses in that city and was well pleased with the result of the visit, obtaining a Hoar idea ;is to the way in which tho plant should he installed, lt is estimated that the plant will cost about $2,000, Ol' not over p8,000 and that it will he a complete out it for tho sterilizing of bottles and tho putting up of whiskies which will be put on tho market by the dispensaries. lt ?8 not known yet wind her lt will he leOOSSary to erect a building for tile plant, but Mr. Tatum does not think KO, ind is of the opinion that the nullit can be placed in the prosont building.

Kor several minutes ho fought tho des perate criminals, who vainly endeavored to BOC uro his pistol. Not until ho had dragged them '.;> tho door of tho corridor did the jailer succeed in wrenching his arm free. With a blow bo felled ono of his assailants, and then drawing his pis tol, he sent the othors hack to their cells like frightened rabbits. The escape of Wood is tho third that has taken place in the history of tho jail. The negroes discovered a defective lock on one of tho colls. They all congregated within, and when the corridor was oponod to place coal In tho furnace, they made ft dash for liberty. Noe's feat is considered remark able and there is scarcely .Another man in the country who would have escaped with his lifo. CALL AND S US ! flS^f NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
