At 00 Is. por hundred mar Doings in Columbia. it In the Sonnte, Dec. 2d, the most inte .rcstiiig proceeding was the discussion oil the Abbeville contested election. Alter much debate, and tbo failure of several resolutions, it was at last decided to re fer the whole suhjeqt again to the Com mittee on Privileges aud Elections, witb power to send for" persons aud papers, aud instructions to report the winde af fair to the Senate. Information was received by Head mutable Hubburd on Friday last, that K. Talbert, ibe murderer of llnn ?lph, was killed at a wedding at the idow Iliuton's, ill Abbeville County, i Thursday night, by Jerry Hoi lings Cttd, State Constable. The latter with ptmc of Constables had surrounded the ouse where Talbert was, and while the :st watched outside, [Iollingshcad en sred and attempted to arrest Talbert 'he latter shot Hollingshoad twice, oundiug him seriously when Hollings ead fired, shouting Talbert through the cart aii I killing him instantly. A resolution to meet in ?Joint Asse in ly on December 21st, to elect an A>so iate Justice of the Supreme Hench,was dopted by the House, but rejected by he Semite. A resolution to hoist tin; U. S. Hag on [he Capitol building was voted down al nost unanimously. Mr. James C. Januey, proprietor of luuncy's Hotel, died of npoplcxy, ou ?he morning of the first. I A final settlement between the Hoard *%\' Directors of the Cine Kidge Kuilroad I and Contractors Criswell & Co., lias been I agreed upon. The Directors ugrc'ed to j pay the Contractors S75.000 and settle with Sub-contractor Steer. , The bill providing fur I^ju'?n Sales t>> ! he made bv the Sheriff, has been heard i by the Joint Committee on tin/ Judiciary i of both Houses. The Clerks of Court?' and the Shoriils are making a liard light lor the lee and e..i dutUCufs of these sales. 'fhe Committee on the Judiciary re ! commend that the salaries of Judges of the Supreme Hutch be increased tu ?5000 each for the Associate Justice and SSO'JU fur iho .Judge of the First i Circuit. Corbin introduced a bill to appropri ate SI 25,01)0 for legislative expenses. Jackson introduced a resolution an thoriziug the Cover nor to reward Hol lingsbead lor .-Ihm t ing Tjulbeit, which was referred to a Special Committee. A bill was introduced lo authorize the Governor to appoint Commissi.rs in each County to in.ike lists and draw Jurors, so as to secure a better and more impartial selection. Intelligence was received in Columbia on the 7th, from Newbcrry that a Mr. Dunwoody, watchman at the llailroad Depot, was tour h u d ou Tuesday night and the Depo) robbed. Deceased was formerly a Methodist preacher. No clue to tin- murderer. On Monday the Sheriff of No ' berry was serious I) .-tabbed by Simeon IJoozer. '1 he bid to change the County seat id" JJaruwcll back to Harnwell Village was postponed until Monday next. 'fhe bill to increase the salaries of Judges i\*as passed in the Senate on Thursday. It gives 34,500 to all the Judges of Supremo Bench and $4000 to all the Circuit Judges. In the debate on the bill. Cain bitterly denounced Judge Carpenter a- unworthy of any consideration. li< si lid that he had treated the colored people shamefully. Leslie and Corbin warmly advocated Cur pentcr. In the discussion of ibis bill there was considerable animation and abuse. Af ter hearing speeches from Nash. Leslie and othj <, the Senate decided to pa\ the Judges of tin: Supremo Bench $4, 500 each per aHmini, Then came the clause relating to pay. ing the Circuit .Judges four thousand dollars each. Corbitl had come in about this time, and moved that the Judge of the First Circuit receive four thousand five hundred per annum. Arnim, (sar castically) moved to make it six thousand dollars. This called up Cain, colored, and be spoke at length in denunciation of J ttdge < Inrpcntcr, saying, substantially: I am opposed to paying JudgoCarpenter any more than any other of, the Circuit .Judges. It is true that when we con sider the number of commitments he has made, the number of men he has sent to the penitentiary, he may be entitled to more salary; but when we think of the poor women aud children whose hus bands and fathers ho has committ-si to the penitentiary forTtculipg a chicken, lie is not entitled Lo$*hud mm!it not to get it; l'd^ rather vxt his salary down. 1 take it that men win are elected to be judges are selected because of their legal ability, for their nice Jtonsc of honor and justice, which will give them the true understanding of thu law and cause them to mete it nut to rich and poor, white and colored alike. Hut how is it that he (Judge 0.) biouglil old laws to hcttr, and "ruled out" ot his court a woman who h ire ou her tho dark hue of her race ; because she was u colored woman ?ruled her out of his Court because she was black, and the man she sued was white. And now we Mfluit pay him five hundred dollars more ;tjiuii *hu other judges, because he ruled OUJ^of his court a woman because sin was black. Donaldson ? Y\ hy do you hot, if you know these charges you allege to he true, take the necessary steps to have hill) impeached ? Dahl?That is not ny^busiuess ? Leslie (jestfully)?A$e there no other charges that you could uTontion ; is there nothing ulse you can tc*y about him be sides the Orangeburg n%jr ? Cain?I do not deaire to tell all I know ; he Voted agnitisfrohc homestead law : he object.- t ? <? ? I.mini jurors. After further arguing that .1 udge C.'s expenses were not much greater JKiju that of t ii?? Other judges, and i In r?d'eie he was not entitled loa larger salary, Cain said: I'll fix him when he coUiee before us for re-election. I'll writej}Och: 1 .id ' over his door post, as his glory is departed. Corbiu? How do you know you will In here then ? Cain?Oh, I'll risk it; if T am not here, I'll see that inv success >r fixes him.

This last clause was evidently .spoken from information whisp red to him by Dc Large, a tucuiber, who ?;h silling 1?\ Cam. Leslie observed this, and said that he hoped that the itn-mln r ho gave this in formation would be heard in his own house I'l.AMNll DOWN T<i FACTS. (lorbin had listened very impatiently to 1111 ? tirade of alms i hurled upon his friend, Judge Carpenter, and as he got an opportunity, substantially said : I know ail about that affair at Orangcburg The action wa?s brought hy a colored wo man against a white man lor bastardy A distinguished legal gentleman of Orntigcburg defended the accused, and earl) in the ease called the .::: 'iition of the court to a law of ls;>7. which sie wed that tin' action against lu^ * - i t *>.. t could not live. The Solicitor for tho Statt? not Mr. Chamberlain, but his assistant, Mr. Scabrook, of Carles ton?examined (he law presented, and stated thai he would yield, but ho did u >t call the at tention of the judge to all)' Sub.SCOUOIlt law. Judge Carpenter said if thai was the law he would have to yield to it. til though he knew it to be iim|tiesti mnbly unjust. Alter tho dceisi >u ho was made tic jtiai'itcd with tho law ol 1850, repeal ing that of I8H7, whereupon lie imme diately ordered that the defendant should be re u rested. Judge Carpenter was ox disable for this mistake?all of us arc liable to make them. IL had not been in the State very long, and had not had time to make himself I borough 1)' nc tiuaiuted with our law.- ; ami then lie had the opinion of two native lawyers that the law presented was the right one (it l UV TIIKlll ELEMENT. Cain?If he was not acquainted with the laws of theState.. why was he elec ted 't Corbin?My friend (Cain is a minis ter hut I'll warrant that I can find H WIC thing in both the Old and New Testa IllOIlt which he has never heard of J and. the law. like tllC Hilde, is illimitable, and a man to say he knows all tin; law would bo about as bullish as 0110 who would say that he knew all that was in the Hiblo. After tin eulogy to tho talents, energy and industry of Judge Carpautur, Cor bin i >ok his seat, before doing so, saying that as the people of Charleston County paid 8300,000 taxes per annum?more (ban one third of all paid by tho rest of the Slate?they st nild have a right m>w to a jud^< inong them. Nash?Do you think it' 'twas left to the people of Charleston County they would decide to keep him ? - Corbin?Yes, I think they would. Nash?Well, they are bigger fools than 1 thought they were. Leslie said he thought that the "re ligious senator" (Cain) always wished to do right, and always meant what he said, but he did think that be bad gone just a step t(?o far when be attacked .Judge Carpenter. lie was fully convinced that even if the senator ngreed to pay Judge Carpenter four thousand five hundred dollars, the House would refuse, and therefore moved that he receive the same salary as the other circuit judges, viz : four thousand dollars. The vote was then taken, and it was agreed to pay the circuit judges four thousand dollars each, aud the Senate ad journed. On Sunday morning last, J. W. Meade, a colored member of the House, shot Mat tie Stokes, a colored woman of bail character in a bouse near the depot, Meade has had several such adventures. having shot a woman in Columbia during last session. lie has not yet been ar ... rested, ami being a friend of Governor Scott, will probably go Scott free.

An intelligent gentleman from South Carolina has 1' i :i v sititier seme New York farms. We extract the following from a private note received after bis return home. He <-a!!,.i the author of Walks and Talks, "whom we found jusl such n gon | tlenein and farmer as was to he expected. With hi.n we spent a very pleasant, and I hope not altogether unprofitable day. in seeing and discussing farming in that beautiful country, and the next d*iy came as far as Lake Geneva, where we saw Mr. Sheldon's magnificent herd of cattle and their almost marble halls?the finest herd, his neighbors say, in the world, and we were not disposed to deny it alter seeing their broad backs; but it w is a n until we weit." many miles away that it occurred to me to ask if anybody . vor tastes the tenderloin of cattle which s 11 for several thousand dollars apiece. * * In two matters I was disap pointed in Yankee farming?(hat in spite of all that has been Written and said about the preparation ami saving ol manure, ho many ol your farmers should expose their stable manure to the de 1 tcriorutiug influence of sun and rain.

He is a eiph. r in society, lie mav h ive an income to support him ill idleness, or he may sponge on his _: od natured Iricnds. Hut in every case. hi is despised. Young men. form habits of industry ; do something in this busy, wide awake world. Move ab .ut for the benefit of mankind, il not for yourself. Do not be idle. Cod's law is that by the sweat of our brow wo shall earn our biond. This is a good one, and tin- bread is sweet. Do not be idle. Minutes are too pre cious to be squandered thoughtlessly. A habit in a child is at first like a spider's web : if neglected, it becomes n thread ol twine ; next, a cord or rope; finally a cable; and then who can break it? Mr I*'. W. Eruggcmaii, Agent of Tin? migration, now in New York, writes us (says the Nowborry Herald) that the prospect for securing a good class of German farm laborers is more favorable than heretofore, and that he can fill very many more orders in the most satisiactoy way. In the absence of Mr. Bruggcnian, U. McCaughrin, Esq., will recoivo ' and forward orders. Wo clip the following paragraph from the Telegraph and Messenger's Texas correspondence. Texas must be a "beefy" country : It seems to be doubted that beef is offered here at two cents a pound. In tho markets of the towns and cities, it is not. In the couutry, it can he bought for a good deal less than two cents a pound. A beef weighing from fivo to six hundred pounds can he bought for ten dollars. The hide, horns and hoofs arc worth ?4. The purchaser docs the butchering, for which he is amply paid by the tallow and tripe. Any one can see that beef costs the purchaser only a slight shade over otic cent a pound any way you can fix it. instead id two. What I have said is true.

South Carolina Monument Asso ciation?Appeal..? Women of South Carolina, there needs no urgent appeal to your sympathies in a cause so sacred as that which wo now undertake. The great tide of adversity which has swept over our unhappy land, has hitherto stilled effort ill this direction; hut not, therefore, have cur hearts ceased to beat for the glorious dead. Scarcely is there one among us whose thoughts doc* not, on the first mention of our object turn at once, with loving affection, to some grave which this monument is intended to honor. Mothers, widows, sister?, daughters, whose hearts thus cling to the soldier's grave, let us then unite with an earnest, loving effort in this hply duty. Let even our lisping little ones be brought to give their mite to its accomplishment ? that thus impressed upou their minds, they I may never forget to love and honor the our cause. Ii a lost calls:.?, even there fore the more hi ly. Even therefore docs it become the more inc?tiib?tit upon US, to bring to this great s.icrilico of pure purposes and hi roic deed, that homage ami veneration which the world pays only to success. With the wish that all who have shared in a common sorrow, may share a'so in the privilege of raising this testi monial to our lost heroes, the annual sub scription for membership is put at the lowest point practicable; that thus it may be within the reach of those, who, having litttle to give, have still the right, through tears and suffering, to join us iu fulfilment of this most sacred duty. To all others?men as well as women, old and young?to all who cherish the name of Carolinian, and cling with a fond love to whatever is left to us of our "good old State." wc would say, give to us freely according to your mean-.; give generously ; give gratefully to the mem ory of those who gave their lives for us A Vraluahle Hint.?The following bit of information, furnished by an exchange, is well worthy the considera tion of every reader: ? It h .s I.i cii long known to intelligent persons that foul water is one of the agents for the diffusion of diseaso; but e\cu these will be astonished to be a; sure 1. as Sir William Jcnncr positively assured tho lust meeting of the British Medical Association, at Leeds, that two of the most fearful diseases, cholera and typhoid fever, arc mainly if not entirely propagated by the diinking oT con taminated water. No individual can lake too much care to keep their drink ing water free from impurity, ami it is of the highest importance that huge communities should be supplied with water uncontnmiuntod b) any refuse or sewerage. A', any rate, Where this is not done, there ought to be an end of the impertinence of ascribing disease^ to the "mysterious dispensation of Pro vidence." Small Beuinnin*os.?Lord Eldon, one of the most celebrated ofE?gbinds Chancellors, commenced the practice of law in February, 1770, and during the first your of his practice, took in 11 shillings, about ?3 73. In 1786 his income from his profession amounted to $34,105, and in 1796 to ?00,701). Lord Erskinc did not havo a client until eight months after ho was culled to the bar, and yet iu four years he had I obtained a silk grown, a scat in Parlia his debts und accumulated ?50,000. merit, a | raetico ! &50?000, a your, puid Fashion* for January. i_- -.?:'> '.til The great change that has taken place in the styles since last winter is more than ever apparent, now that we see the costumes en masse upon the street or in the drawing-room. It is four years now Bince the change from the hoops, which had become some- 3 what more moderate, took place, to thu perfectly plain gored, or, as it was called, Princcsse skirt. We well remember the excitement the first two or three created in the mlons, and the contrast with the bell-shaped garments generally worn. The Princes** dress was, however, >a found too restricted, nnd little round aprons, called "Freemasons," were in troduced, which were the beginning of the present upper skirt, with its round tabticr and not ungraceful punier. The change from a short apron nnd a straight-cut gored skirt to a short upper skirt, and a petticoat with some fullness in, does not seem so very great, but it is very apparent when the skirts and pan ivrs nnd sashes, and all the frills and furbelows thereunto belonging, are multi plied by the number of ladies who wear them. The high, rich colors, too. have much to do with the warmth of effect pro duced by this season's style of dress. 1 Bright blues, browns, and Scotch plaids, with a good deal of scarlet in it, arc relieved a little by a mixture of black or ? gray, but the prevailing touc is high, full, and striking. Garnet and dark green cloths and costumes are also in vogue, and produce a fine effect, '.rimmed with velvet and fringe of the name shade. The suit generally consists, of a round skirt, trim med with two ', ,t plaited flounces,*each headed with two rows of velvet, an up per skirt forming an apron nnd side iVj-x, and a mantle fitted to the waist, at the back. Mantle and upper skirt are trimmed with velvet fringe, and there is ' a double* square b^w with wide ends c.t tached to where the mantle is fastened at the back. The bodices f>r rather dressy toilets are generally made open iti front, cither in a square shape or a chide, with recriu. The chemisettes worn with such bodices are cut of the same shape; their are trimmed with a wide strip of insertion, edged round the bottom with a deep border of Valenciennes lace, and round the tnp with a very narrow border of the same. This arrangement leaving tbo throat partly bare, a necklace or a large cross or locket is worn round the neck. Street toilets are very costly. It is not uncommon to see black Lyons velvet suits worn with rich tunics of bright blue or deal black satiu, the sash of satin with heavily fringed ends. Fur is very fashionably used for trim ming tdoth and velvet. The new French cicular is the newest form of wrap. They are very stylish. They form 'a sort of douclc circular?or, rather, a closo cut rotondi, not very long, with a capo only n quarter of a yard less in depth. The material is always Scotch plaid, thu "Victoria" or - scarlet," and tho cape, or second circular, is trimmed with a hand some woolen fringe, containing tho ool ors. There is no hood, but tho he.ivy Scotch cord and tassels are thrown buck. Narrow black or white Astrachan col lar aud fringed muff look well with these gay little cloaks. The - llonian" cloak has no sleeves: sleeves can be inserted, but only at the sacrifice of its distinctive character, it i.- drawn in at the back, but falls loosely from the shoulders, and is altogether one of the most graceful garments ever im ported, 'fhe finest model is made in black velvet, richly trimmed with lace.

This is a very new model. [Demorcst't Monthly fur January. Said the lovely Julia to tl.o bewitch ing Fanny : "Ma belle, why is a now-born baby like a cow's tail V "I don't know.
