Scraps ? Jfacts. | If a man addicted to smoking marries a widow, does it follow that he must lay down his pipe because she gives up her weeds ?? Punch. The Boston Traveller, speaking of the I Massachusetts Legislature, says : Of the forty 1 members of the Senate last year only eleven are re-clected, the only one from Suffolk being Daniel Warren. Of over four hundred ! members of the House last year only thirty- : eicht have been re-elected. ?O The local Grand Council pf the American Party, at a recent meeting in Charleston, recommends a disbanding of the several Councils thoughout the State, but "hold themselves ' sternly ready, as Southern men, to maintain in all exigencies, the rights of the State and the South." The St. Louis Democrat says that the Missouri borderers are canvassing the propriety of an appeal to arms. Gentlemen who have come recently from that section, report the public feeliug as being of the most intense and alarming character. One of the gentlemen remarked to us, " you may look out for a civil war in Kansas in less than twenty days." A Mrs. Kendrick, of Tazewell county, Virginia, after an illness of several weeks, apparently died, recently, and preparations were made for her interment. While some persons were preparing her shroud, however, they were amazed to hear the seeming corpse, in a f i- / /? i ni 111 i laiot voice, ass ioriooa. sne naa oeen unaer th? iuflucnce of a cataleptic attack, which, fortunately, parsed off iu time to prevent the burial of her body. Upon the conclusion of a marriage in a village church, the bridegroom signed the register with "his X mark." The pretty young bride did the same, and then turning to a lady who had known her as the best scholar in the school, whispered to her, while tears of honest love and admiration stood in her bright eyes, "He's dear fellow, Miss, but cannot write yet. He's going to learn of me, and I would not shame him for the world." A recent European magazine contains an ably-written article on the subject of the injurious effects upon the eyes of pcrsous in the habit of readiug while travelling in rail road cars. It is stated that the jolting moiion cause the eye to strain in catching the separate letters, and makes au effect on the retina very injurious. Several instances are given in corroboration, where persons who were in the habit of reading much in rail way cars had become nearly blind. A few days ago, a man named Edgar L. Ingersoll, residing in Chicago, persuaded his wife to take a walk with him. and after j proceeding a short distance, he drew a pistol and deliberately shot her down in the street, indicting a mortal wound, and then shot himself dead on the spot. He was 29 years of age, and she only 19. They had been married lour years, but iu that time, it is said, she had left him ou two occasions, on account of ill-treatment. Her parents reside near Pittsburg. Concord, N. H., Nov. 14, 1855.?The Democratic State convention met to-day.? The Hon. Harry Hibbard was chosen president. The Hon. James S. Wells of Exeter was nominated for Governor; and a series of resolutions repudiating Know Xothingism and the Maine Law, in favor of the principle of popular sovereignty, approving of the administration policy in all its details, aud recoinmendding Franklin Pierce as the candidate of the Democracy for the next Presidency were adopwith great unanimity. Nearly every town in the State was represented. The Boston Atlas has been informed by Captaiu Newland, a passenger in the -ism, that when he left Liverpool the wrathful comments of the London Times about the supposed expeditions from the United States excited only merriment among business men. The story, he reports, was traced to certain expressions used by Thos. Francis Meagher, in a lecture delivered by him, and which were transmitted to the Times and to the Admiralty.? So much for the invasion expeditions. About the fleet of war-vessels to be sent to this coast, by referring to the British navy list, it will be seen that by the time they arrive here the term of those now on this station will have expired. It is simply a relief squadron. It is well known that the diamond is ; nothing more nor less than pure eondensed : carbon. It is also well known that carbon forms a large share of the constituent properties of charcoal, as well as most animal and vegetable substances. For centuries, attempts have been made to separate the carbon in charcoal, and chrystalize it into diamoud. A Bostou chemist, however, believes he has sue ceeded in obtaining pure carbon by means of the electro-galvanic pile, and that he has very little doubt of being able to chrystalize it. In fact, he claims to have already produced some-! what imperfect crystals, which only needed something more of compression or concentration to reuder them perfect diamonds! The Paris correspondent of the London Advertiser, says : ''The Pope lias received ; another cordial invitatiou to come to Paris.? i His holiness, who has hitherto refused to assist, at the Emperor's coronation, is now in- j vited to bestow his pontificial benediction at the baptismal font on the heir to the imperial i throne, the Empress will soon present to the \ Emperor and his people. But the Pope holds out no promise that he will accede to this demand. His holiness is scandalized by heariug . that Victoria and Prince Albert are to be spon sors to the coming babe. The Pope is horrified i at the prospect of vile heretics becoming spon- ; sor9 to a Catholic prince or princess, and un- 1 less this arrangement be overset, it is scarce- : ly probable that he will change his mind." The Columbia Times says :?" The an- i nexcd article coutains valuable information.? It was handed to us fVom a source entity worthy of credit?the remedies haviug been successfully applied in several cases under the ! observation of our correspondent. "Scarlet Fever, or Scarletina, should be treated iu 1 the mildest possible way. A little saffron j tea, or spice wood tea, should te giveu to : throw out the disease i*pon the skiu. The bowels should be kept open by small doses of castor oil or injections. If the throat becomes sore, so as to be worthy of notice, a poultice of garlick or onions, stewed in hog's lard, is excellent. There is a specific for Scarletina, called the Vegetable Specific for Scarlet Fever, } said to have been obtained from a New Eng- j clergyman, iu whose family it had been for a j hundred years. I obtained it in Charleston in 1834, and found it most excellent." The London Times says. "The danger of too rapid interment was exemplified iu a very extraordinary manner at Wakefield, during the last week. A young man, who had been suffering from malignant fever, to j1 all appearance died on Tuesday morning. A \ coffin was immediately commenced, the certifi- f cote of death sent for, and urgent application j,J was made to allow the corpse to be interred the | 0 same evening. This, however, was declined, i but consent was given to the interment taking is place the following morning. The result prov- . ( ed the properity of the delay; the grave was if dug, and the coffin ready, but the dead mau : ^ in the course of the night gave signs of return- Ic ing animation, aud at the hour fixed for his 1 burial was taking a cup of coffee, with every |' prospect of recovery."

THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1855. ftaT" On the outside page will be found a contri- ! bution from the pen of Mrs. Stratton. It is a : . touching and beautiful poem, replete with the gen- J ' nine heart-feeling characteristic of the productions 1 of the clever pen to which we arc indebted. Our only regret is that we are not oftencr permitted thus to enrich our columns. The render will also find on the same page the ' letter of Governor Johnson, of Georgia, which will \ i repay a careful perusal. Next week, we will publish "Mona-Wandah?a Legend of the Osagcs," by Howard 11. Caldwell, i Esq. ! CHURCH OP THE GOOD 8HEPHERD. j j The 44 Church of the Good Shepherd." in York-, villi , was consecrated to the worship and service of ; God on Sunday last, by the lit. Rev. Bishop Davis ! | ?the religious exercises commencing on the Friday ! evening preceding and continuing until Tuesday i evening last. It was quite an interesting occasion, : calling to our town a number of strangers, ami afj fording to us at home much of that sincere pleasure j which must always attend such evidences of the i moral and religious progress of our people. The j ceremony of consecration, at ten o'clock on Sunday I morning, was conducted by the Bishop in full canon- i ! icals assisted by six of his Presbyters?among them, the Rector, Rev. Mr. Giuson ; and was attended j by a large and intelligent congregation. The sermon | by the Bishop at the close of the ceremonies was an excellent and very appropriate discourse?in a terse, compact and logical style announcing the doctrines i and vindicating the authority and propriety of the i sacraments, the rites and ordinances of the church. t. ? i II nave VV.-I v gciicim ^Iii?iiivuuii .< mri ) .? "imiiaI tion, and was marked throughout by tliat cxliihition , of fine scholarship, eminent ability and true Chrisi tinn charity which must win for the Bishop, everyj where, the admiration ami sympathy of his heavers, i In the evening, at the close of an admirable sermon by Rev. Mr. Oadspen. of Charleston, the Rite of J Confirmation was administered by the Bishop to fif! teen candidates ; and on Monday evening two addi- i ' tionnl members were added to the Church. In another number we gave our readers a descrip- ' tion of the new Church, the erection of which has j ' just been completed. It is a chaste and beautiful building, planned after a pointed style of arehitec- j : ture, and adorned with the display of elegance and j I good taste which uniformly characterizes thcEpisco- | 1 pal houses of worship. To the left of the altar is a [ marble tablet, erected by the congregation, in mem- ' cry of the Rev. Mr. etwf.t.l. the pioneer of the E;>is- I ; copal Church in Yorkville, whose career amongst | us was ended while in the midst ?f his labors. | Now that the missionary work is done, we trust i that the church has entered upon a career of emi- I ncnt usefulness and that the labors of the good and !' , worthy minister, who has been called to its charge, j may be abundantly blessed for good. WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. The arrival of the steamer Pitcinc brings us the i latest advices from the seat of war in Europe. No ! event of importance had occurred. The belief pre- < vailed in the Crimea that the Russian army would i attack the Allies, and consequently the advance of l i the allied army had been countermanded and the t : British had returned to Eupatoria, the French to Bai- > | dar and the Turks and Sardinians to the Tchernaya. i : The London Times says there can be no doubt that t | the operations for the expulsion of the Russians t : from the Crimea are abandoned for the present sea- i j son ; and that the main body of both armies will at 1 or.ee go into winter-quarters. Five months of inac- i tivity are thus before the armies of the East. Gencr- t al Codrixgton, or Covington, has received the ap- ? pointment of Commander-in-Chief of the British J army in the Crimea, in the place of Gen. Simpson, i There arc again rumors ot movements looking to < peace, coming from the Russian side ; but they are ' of course unreliable. ^ In our last issue we published a paragraph from t the London Times, announcing tiie reinforcements of the West India Squadron, and threatning with mucli ' spirit a war with the United States : and another, c giving the intelligence that, in consequence of this n movement on the part of the British government, 1 which the Cabinet at Washington regarded as an indignity and a menace, Commodore Pai-muxo would j c be immediately despatched with a squadron to keep | ^ on the alert, and protect the interests of the Amcri- | a can people in the West-India waters. The fierce and ; ^ tremendous manifestos in the London Tinin, we learn . a from advices by the Pacific, have given rise to a pro- j ' found sensation, a rise in cotton, and sundry demon- ; 0 strations in the manufacturing districts appealing to j * her Majesty's government in behalf of peace. The ^ Provincial press echoes in full every note of this i 8 blustering ; and all declare, most emphatically, that 0 Great Britain is on the eve of a most savage war < ' with the United States, on account of the manifold ! I1 insults, provocations and menaces of the latter gov- J crnment. > '' t What could have originated all this commotion is, j P to people on this side of the water, utterly inexplica- j 0 hie. Various reasons are promulgated for the com- j l' mcncement of hostilities; one journal avers that it i 11 is necessary to interpose a barrier to our filibuster- ! ,s ing expeditions to Ireland; another, to prevent the fitting-out from American ports of Russian vessels ; 0 another, to settle the difficulty in regard to Mr. " Ckamptcn and the recruiting business; another, to 51 prevent us from carrying out our intention, recently declared to the British government, of seizing upon Cuba ; still another, to chastize us for our Russian V proclivities, and to prevent the purchase of the Russian possessions; and, lastly, to enforce practical op- ? position to the application of our Monroe doctrine l| in the settlement of the Central American question. Now, with the exception perhaps of the last count, all this is supremely ridiculous; and indicates ou the part of the English press either a palpable ignorance W of public sentiment in America and the aims of our people, or a settled determination to force a war at ' any nnd all hazards. At present, there is no cause ^ existing to force an immediate rupture between England and the United States ; and to think that the s! British Cabinet would, without adequate reason, pre- tl cipitate a war with the United States at this juncture, when our commerce is vitally important even to the integrity cf their government, is simply ab- pi surd. At any rate the excitement is premature. At ^ the close of the recent conference between the Min- a, isters, in relation to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the ta usual expansions of amicable feeling were employ- 111 cd; and as far as official correspondence has extended, nothing has occurred to induce the expectation C( of hostilities. It is true that an additional deet has gi \ een sent to the West Indies, hut wo prefer to bcicve that these vessels, which have just returned rom the cruise in the Baltic, merely seek, as Ins ieen clone before, a climate suitable to the purposes f ft winter station. It is not entirely impossible, lowovcr. that eventually a rupture may occur in the ettlement of the vexed questions involved in the Central-American difficulty, and in the vindication >f the Monroe doctrine: but of this, mere anon.? The render will obtain some in?i;*lit into the merits >f this difficulty by the perusal of the Washington ettcr in another column. It i< impos.-ihlo now to irrivc at any reliable conclusion in reference to these natters of dispute, and we must await the advent of rhc President's Message in which we may expect a full exposition. Meantime, the filibustering war in Nicaragua rages. Col., now General, Walker ismn<ter of the country, and has issued a manifesto declaring his purpose to take possession of the remaining towns, and imprison and kill every one who opposes him, Col, Fry has organized a Voltigcur Company out ol recently arrived volunteers, and Col. Frknch hasac ?! !,! _ _ r /~1 ir.M. irt'purn lilt: |)u?iiu?ii ui ui ^ar. \ ui. m.v KEY is quietly engaged in establishing his colony, clearing land, planting seed, and making himself entirely at home.

The General Assembly of our State will commence its sessions in Columbia on Monday next. In an announcing this event, it is usual for editors to cxpa tiate at some length upon the work to be done, to! great reforms to be inaugurated, the abuses to b< corrected, and the thousand and one measures pr< l?no publico which are to engage the attention of out law-givers. Just now we shall do no such thing.? Judging from the past it is not at all probable thai tho coming session will be fruitful of any very great good; but if it be, we are by no means competent ti the task of indicating the direction and extent of itmerits. Our experience teaches us he silent. Once we gave a list of the acts before they wore passed and, to the utter discomfiture of our powers of "ho cus-poeus,*' prophecy &c.. it did not tally in a singh particular with the list of Acts after they were pas sed. Therefore we prefer to bide our time. \V< shall dance attendance during the entire session, am promise our readers a report, daily, of all the pro ceedings. BTATE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The demands of our business having called us it that direction, we attended the annual meeting of tlx State Agricultural Society in Columbia on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Many of the Pistricts were numerously and respectably represented but owing to the inattention of our home-people then whs no delegation in attendance from York District. In this delemma we were gratified to meet with mil friends Messrs. A. lb Si'itisr.s. R. A. Simiinus ami A K. IlrrcitiNsoX. of the Indian Land, and aftei eon-uhation we concluded to enroll our names n? life-members and upon our own responsibility to p'a\ tho part of delegates from York. From the Prethroughout the State we had an inkling of the intere.-t taken in this movement in other section-, but. w< mu?t confess, we had no expectation of seeing sue] a ro?pcot:ilile And dignified body of men .v wa>- then assembled. Prominent amongst them, we mentinr the names of his Excellency Gov. Auams. Ex-Onv Means. Hon. Mes?rs. A. P. Betier. J. J. Evans Joseph A. Woodward ami W. W. Boyck. Col. J Foster Marshall, the Chairman of the de'egatioT from Abbeville, **tho Banner District," was a lead ing and active member, evincing a measure of thai zeal in promoting the progress of the Society whiel has pained for old Abbeville an enviable distim-tioti When the meotinp was called to order, the President. Col. A. P. ('almoin, on taking the chair, delivered an address which was happily conceived am! appropriate throughout?indicating the plan and objects of the association, and endeavoring to excite a laudable emulation among ihc-c with whom he wa> associated. Having devoted his whole energy ami talent to Agricultural pursuits, in which he has hecri rory successful, he was prepared to entertain a lively interest in the subject and was fortunate in exciting i corresponding interest among the members of the onvention over which he presided. We have not space f>>r an extended account i f the jroceeding? of the convention. The Chairman of he Executive Committee, Mr. E. 0. Palmer, made i report of the progress of his Committee in raising unds, communicating the gratifying intelligence that wenty three thousand dollars had been raised, and hat but little additional effort would place an amount n the treasury of the Society amply sufficient for tlm jurposes of a permanent oiganization. The Society vasby resolution permanently located in Columbia? he City Council having appropriated suitable grounds md buildings fur the Annual Fairs and Exhibitions. Committee was appointed to memorialize the Legslature, and it is confidently believed by the friends >f the movement that the State will contribute a li>cral appropriation. To show our agricultural friends vhat disposition is to be made of these funds, we ake from the proceedings the following resolution:? Rctolrtd, That all funds received by this Society, sither from life memberships or from the State, hall be invested in stocks or bonds of the State of Inutli Carolina bearing not less than six per cent., md in the event of the dissolution of this Society, he funds shall be returned to the original owners. Thus it will be seen that subscribers can in no vent lose; there is no trick or humbuggery in it.? Vc are assured that the society is now organized on substantial hnsi-: and wo earnestly hope that the armers of our District will he awake to the importnce of the enterprise, and place themselves and he District, where they properly belong, in the van f the progress. With industry and enterprise, and he impetus which an active participation in the henits which such a Society affords, wc can assure ourelves of the development of the boundless resoures of our soil. Let us arouse, organize a District Society, and join heartily in the noble work .-n ausliciouslv inaugurated. We regret that we were compelled to leave Columia early on Wednesday morning, and were thus derived of the pleasure of hearing the speech of the rator, Col. Aniiirn Simkixs, of the Edyrfield Adertixrr. We have heard, however, that it was just a character with the man?admirable in every repect. Our readers may judge of its merits, when lie pamphlet copy reaches us. Gen. Jamif.son f Orangeburg, was elected Orator for the next Annal meeting, which will convene in Columbia on the econd Tuesday in November 1856. LA BOLIDE'S PHYSIOLOGY. Copies of this work may be found at Auickes & Zithers' : the "Corner Store." We have said enugh of this capital little book already to recommend ;, as far as wo are able, to the favorable consideraon of our readers. It is a work which should be in le hands of every one,?containing as it does a easury of truths which, if properly appreciated, ould add much to the general stock of health and appiness. Purchase a copy, and, our word for it, ou will find your,moiety well expended. We spend an extract from a criticism in the Times: "The proper study of mankind is man," and, while ce moral sentiments and the intellectual powers louhl be awarded a pre-emiencc in our estimation, lerc are properties pertaining to the physical or- i anization which demand little less of our considcraon and attention. In view of the necessity for information by the eople respecting the functions of their own bodies, r. LaBorde has undertaken to portray the various omenta of the physical man, and to delineate the ^tributes of each in its relation to others. Having iken the most general aspect of man as related to lorganic substances, and descended through the igetable kingdom to animal forms, he gives a hasty ance at the anatomy of the human body, and proseds to the main object of the work, which may be von in hie own words as "a careful study of the KXS u. ^ . _ ~_?: --=====: ?r laws of health, ;>ml a more general diffusiou of physi- ! ologicnl knowledge." * :: * * -if * When the inefficiency of the previous elementary 1 treaties on the subject of physiology is consiilc e?l. j we will be nmre i in pre; el with the importance of i 4 the contribution of Dr. J/iRorde to the cruse of j science and education in this dep-.rtment. Having practiced rs a physichm in former years, and be:ng engaged since as a lectufron physiology, as con- j nected with his profession .1 chnir in the South Carolina College, he is eminently lilted for discharging the responsible task of preparing a text-book on this subject: and wr- are pleased to think that while it is j , well adapted to the student at college or school, it i will meet the demand for knowledge by the general 1 reader, and thus supply a desideratum in our litera- J line.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN LANCASTER. The Lancaster Ltdgtr of last week contains | the particulars of a horrible murder, committed in 1 that District on Sunday the 11th instant, by a man ' named B. F. TiiF.nnF.LL. The murderer, who was raised in the edge of North Carolina adjoining Lancaster, married last winter a daughter of Mr. Jo- j j ski'it Lewis, residing in Lancaster, hut during the i ' summer separated from his wife and went to Ten- ' I nessec. On Sunday morning Mrs. Lewis, while on ; her way to visit a daughter in North Carolina, met j Therrell, armed with a rifle gun, in the road about | J two miles from her home. Therrell asked her to j i "tell his wife, Cornelia, on her return, to meet him j that evening at a specified place, as he wanted to i have a talk with her before he would go away again." : This Mrs. Lewis promised to do, and rode on to i where her daughter lived. | "On Mrs. Lewis' return about 4 o'clock p. 111., and ' when she was within sight of her house, she heard a gun fire of apparently at the house, at which she } quickened her pace and. reaching the yard, she left J her horse and was proceeding hurriedly into the i tmuj^-jrhpti again encountered Therrell, coming round the house with the rifle on his shoulder; she j asked him what that shooting meant, but receiving no answer, and seeing no one else about, she ran iti! to the house, and found her son Edmund sitting by . the fire cross-legged, with a book open on bis lap, 1 erect in his chair, (with no traces of any disturbance I having taken place.) perfectly dead, shot through j the head with a rifle or pistol. This sight brought ! ! a scream front the old lady, at which her daughter, j I Then-ell's wife, came in, she apparently having been ! i walking out alone at the time. Cornelia on seeing j Iter dead brother, likewise screamed with terror; in ! | the meantime, Therrell, hearing his wife in the | | house, ran in, seized Iter violently and started for the j ; door, site screaming and he dragging her forward.? [ j Mrs. Lewis and her little son immediately set out to : alarm the neighbors, and on their return, accompnn| ied by neighbors, thev found all silent and the corpse ' alone." ,,,,, i ] SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The following extract, which we take from a letter | hailing from the everglades of Florida, puts a word or two in the right place in reference to the tyranni- I cal, and totally unprincipled monopoly, yclept the ' South Carolina Railroad. We are glad to see that , the unscrupulous management of this road is begin- ] ! ning to attract attention, and wc earnestly hope that i j the good work will not be permitted to rest until j ' | something is acomplishcd. We recognize the style j i and know the spirit of the writer, and we shall con- j i fidently expect from his pen "another of the same j j sort." The ?ubject is amply worth the attention as , t j well as the action of the people cf the up-country; j c I and we earnestly cainmend it to the consideration of , ? that portion with whom we arc permitted to confer. | 1 Read the paragraph:? The South Carolina Railroad and its skinflint 1 t management is a sore spot to the Carolinian who does j not live on the Georgia side of theStato. Its illiber- ! u al discriminations with regard to the tariff of rates i d for central South Carolina, and the great sacrifices t which therond makes to benefit Georgia, at our ex- f: pense, should be held up not only to the public ceusure of just indignation, but our Legislature should v be kept in constant agitation on this subject, so that s when the proper time comes, a good licit may be git- d [londuras Coast. As to the modified protectorate of Mosquito, Great Britain claims it, even under the ^layton-Biilwer-Treatv. Besides, the Musquito pro:ectorate is a peculiar pet of Lord Puhnerston. Still, our Government does not consider that the ejection of their interpretation of certain parts of he treaty abrogates the whole, and they hold Great Britain to be bound by the obligation of the treaty lot to exercise any jurisdiction in .Musquito in virtue >f her protectorate. Our Government, also, consid>rs itself bound, by the reciprocal obligation, not to ake possession of, or anuex, any part of Central Anerica. The negotiation is not considered, on the part of his Government, at an end, but as suspended. But it is evident that in a renewed negotiation, we aust take a new ground of departure?that is, back lown from our interpretation of the Clayton-Bulwer reaty. It is mortifying enough to make demands rom which wo are obliged to recede. It i9 to be hoped that the British force, though it rill be paraded before Greytowu, will not take pos ession of the place. Such a step would be an abanooment of the provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer ? ? en this monopoly, which, if it does not entirely des troy the hydra of the fens, will at least afford gen tlemanly excuse for wholesome conviction, by build ing an air line road, which will connect the interio with the seaboard, at rates which will not be grad usted by the lion's share. The stock to this roai was contributed by the people of the cities, and tin central and upper portions of South Carolina, on< the work was finished at the expense of those stock holders. It was preached up by great men as i means of improvement and accommodation to thos people who built it. The road languished becnus speculators found it a good operation of stock-job bing to make it languish. Debts were contracted dividends were things not heard of, and the smal stockholders were wheedled out of their stock at movn tiAminnl vnfn Wnt thnso nlnno hilt nrnlllin ami widows, in the course of events when the dent! of the stockholder afforded no other alternative bu a sale, in like manner suffered by the systematize and legalized swindling of the golden-fanged sharks Now the public suffer from their monopoly, and i decent, well-meant appeals have had no effect here tofore, perhaps words harder than tufts of grass ma; bring the naughty boys to their senses. A good les son is, however, taught to the stockholders of th interior roads. They should stick to their railrom stocks, and although they may hear their roads de cried and vilified, they should keep the control o these stocks, and not allow their corporations to fnl under the control of the great devourer of the pro pricty of the industrial efforts of South Carolina.? Charleston feels the effect of a suicidal course whicl her officers have pursued, and her death-struggle show how deeply she regrets being subjected to tin effects of unconsidered projects, bet her open nven ues through the mountains, and -die may save her self from the fate of a deserted mart of commerce.The Kahun Oap ltoad, with its stpiandeied million ?the French liroad Railroad?all-the contemplate! connections of the Charleston ltoad, should be made and then, if the South Carolina Railroad were tegu lated and properly corrected, Charleston would be come a !|uecn of commerce by the seaside. Amis erable policy of city patronage, which wasted mil lions on Georgia and Tennessee (funds to conve; freight to .Savannah, would have deepened her liar bor, and caused this freight, which now sail.- pas her doors, to have flooded her warehouses to over flowing. As it is, Savannah is rollong on in th march of cities, and poor old Charleston, with he worse than stationary type of market vultures, take a step backwards in the dance of life. - ? * THE MEETING OF SYNOD.

It will be recollected that the only point of dif ferencc between these Churches has been in th P.-a'niody. Dr. PressJoy. in an able and conciliatory speech advocated with much feeling the union <>f these tw branch* s. and we think his speech produced upo the minds of all a favorable feeling towards tha union. A committee, with Dr. Kirkpatrick as t'liairmati was appointed, who have had the matter umler coti -ideratioii. and have reported resolutions to th S \ nod favorable to the union : the matter, howevei will be referred for final arrangement to the nex meeting of the General Assembly. Two days, or nearly so. were occupied with th on<?> <>t a o:i!l truin .\e\v (irlcatis to Dr. Palmer, tli ?>f t'harlf* ton refusing to place that cai in Dr. Palmer's hands An appeal was taken fror tin' action of the Presbytery an I the case brought u tn Synod. The complainants were represented lv R. ('. Gilchrist, Ks<p, who made an earnest appea for liis removal to New Orleans. The Presbyter, was heard in reply through Dr. Howe of the Semin arv. and Dr. Adger, whose speeches on the oceasio: were replete with it rcssistablo argument in favor o his remaining. The case was settled by a ver; large majority in favor of hi? being retained in th Seminary. On Sabbath the exercises wore of a highly inter esting character. In the Presbyterian Church Di Kirkpatrick. of Charleston, preached in the morn ing: in the Methodist. I)r. Adger; in the Dupti.<Re\. Mr. Morse, in the evening Rev. Mr. Williams In the afternoon the missionary exercises of Syn od were held in the Presbyterian Chunch, Rev. Dr Syinthe delivering an interesting and instructive ad dress with the annual report. Rev. Mr. Gerideat preached in the Methodist Church in the afternoon and Rev. T. L. MeBryde in the evening. Dr. Palmer preached to a crowded house in tin evening at the Presbyterian Church?his ability i: uii'iuestionable. We ought to have mentioned sev oral other interesting matters, but our limits nre s< circumscribed tlint we are obliged to omit them.? We will, however, remark that on Saturday morning an interesting and instructive discourse was made bj Rev. J.

Mr. Wilson lias labored on the canst of Africa n< a Missionary for nearly twenty years, and of coursi his observation and experience enables him to give authentic information in the most reliable shnpi touching all operations among those benighted peopie. Ilis sermon al?o on Saturday evening wa; iiighly interesting. Synod closed last evening, having enjoyed a mosi harmonious and delightful session of live days, nl! appearing highly pleased with our own town and people. The next meeting of Synod will he held in Chcs terville, on the Wednesday before the second Sab bath in November. 185b. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. Capt. Paulding has just left Washington with instructions to proceed with a naval force, now read) for him at Brooklyn, for San Juan del Norte, lie will have the St. Lawrence and two other ships-ofwar. Instructions have also been sent to Mr. Wheeler, our Minister in Nicarauga, upon the .subject ol the present difficulties. It is supposed by our Government that a portion of the large naval force at Jamaica will be at once despatched to San Juan, and that an expeditionary force will take possession of that place, which is within the limits of, and the key to the British Protectorate of the Mos?|nito Kingdom. Such a course, on the part of Great Britain, will -diow that they consider that government no longer hound by any of the'terms of the Clayton-BulwerTreaty. But such is not the understanding 011 the part of this government. We put a certain interpretation upon that treaty which required Great Britain to abandon her p s.-cssion of the Bay Islands, and to relinquish her protectorate over the Mosquito Kingdom, practically and absolutely. This the British Government refused to do. Mr. Buchanan lias uniformly informed this government during the last two years, that the British Government would never ilvnii/Inn Imr rvncanccir.il nf tl.A It *1\/ T.ln ?wlo nfF !.?. s From the St. Joscpu uyciv, umiu, w.. ?. b j ? t; Startling Development?Treason in Kansas.

A Y [ Mr. P.

They declare thr.t color is no bar to perfect liberty and equality, so far as the whites arc ; concerned. The society is organized on a military , basis, and draws on religion as the spur and the inn centive to action.
