, KaitlM Bill PMMd. . ? We are sure every one will rejoice at the final disposition of this vexed question. We do not he? . lieve that any question has nrisen that has exerted a more powerful influence upon parties than this. It came in like a tempest and swept from the political arena many who had loug flourished there. It scattered to the winds the old Whig party. It gave new life to the Democratic party. It infected the American party with a slow, lingering disease, that carries it every day nearer to final diaolntion. It united the South. It nnited the North under the great fusion, of 1864, and divided it again in the Presidential election. It has placed men at the pinnacle of political position, and tossed down giants as though they were pigmies. However tiresome may have been the many phases through which it has passed, the strong, test of party soundness that it has ever made, must not be overlooked. It has done more to test the nerves and principles of our public men' than any issue that has ever been presented. The last act in the drama is not the least in significance in this view. In it, the great issue made whether Congress had any right to look beyond the mere legality and republicanism of an instrument constituting a.State government?has served to expose many who had strong claims upon our gratitude, and who would doubtless have met with high rcwaru. Never before has an Administration had such difficulties -to encounter as this of Mr. Buchanan. Th? Kansas issue, kept open by Northern demagogues and their Southern auxiliaries, has been a stumbling-block m the way of its actions on any of the many prominent public policies that now claim the attention of the Government. Could they have succeeded in keeping open this issue, it Is evident the whole Administration would have been a most signal failure. It would have retired in disgrace?and the South, upon whom it has had to look chiefly for aid, would have had her impotency heralded to the world. Black Republicanism would have held the Administration and the South both up to scorn?the cry would have been, so degenerated had the South become, that even when it gained power it could accomplish nothing. | By the troubles which the opposition would have thrown in the way of the Government, its expenditures would have been greatly increased, and this again they would have attempted to mrte party capital. The struggle is now over?the Administration is triumphant, Black Republicanism, with the free-soil Democratic allies, and Soothern Americans, all huddled together, have been defeated, and measures of importance will now engage the attention of tbe Administration. This much has been achieved by Southern unity. Let a moral be deduced for future actipns. Let the "freedom shriekers" bowl. Let their Southern sympathizers, such as Winter Davis, of Maryland, talk abont "States Rights" and "abandonment of principles," as they please. The strong denunciations they heap upon the bill, and their united opposition to it show that it does not favor tieir views. Their attempts to prejudice the 8outh against her own members, while they may deceive a few, will pass unheeded by the mass of our people?they will not go to their enemies to learn, but to the faithfal and able representatives whom their suffrage and their oonfldence have placed in position. It is cause for congratulation?on the part of the Sonth and the patriotic Administration it elected and supports?that the opposition coalition has been defeated andjthe honor of tbe 8outh maintained. It is to be hoped, that now the business of the country will be transacted, and our important foreign relations receive the attention their exigencies demand.? | Carolinian. Correspondence of the Carolinian. Wa8HISQT0N, April 30. The celebrated contest on the admission of Kansas has jnst come to a conclusion. The bill has passed the House of Representatives by nine majority. All the Southern Democrats voted for thobill except Quitman and Bonham. There is no doubt but that the bill as passed is the best possible solution of the question. * The South has gained nothing practical by the passage of the bill, except the moral triumph of admitted a State with a slave constitution North of 36? 30/. Kansas is, and has been for six months, since a free State. The Lecompton Constitution has no selfsustaining power, and will doubtless be altered by by the people of Kansas with hot haste. The bill will pass the Senate and become the law of the land in a few day9. Upon the passage of this bill, I am forcibly reminded of what Pyrrhus said, after one of bis victories over the Romans : "A few more suoh victories and we are undone." An agitation will be attempted North on this bill as an aggression on the North, because the people of Kansas are permitted to come in forthwith under a slave constitution, but postponed under a free constitution until they have 93,440 population. The passage of this bill preserves the unity of the South, and kills off Douglas and his little crowd of adherents. They must go to the Black Republicans or cry out "peccavt," and be allowed to take back seats in the Democratic congregation. The Lecompton movment on its reception and modut operandi, was a blunder." Slavery could not be abolished under the territoral government ?under a State government it could. We had no interest, theo, to bring Kansas into the Union in hot baste, with an inadequate population. The unanimity of the South upon this question is encouraging, and augurs well for the future. It is to be hoped we will hear less of Kansas in the future?everybody is tired of the very name. CONGAREE. J Columbia Market. May 3. 'Cotton.?In reviewing the cotton market for the week just brought to a close, we have but few remarks to make. The demand through the whole of the week has been steady and good, and notwithstanding the late advices from Liverpool were considered rather unfavorable, and although in some instances the low and middling grades did turn a point in favor of buyers, still fair and choice cotton have not been effected, and for these qualities 12J @ 12$ is freely paid. The sales of the week comprise about 1,850 bales, and we now quote: Inferior 10@10J; ordinary 10$@11; middling 11$@.11?; good middling 11$@124; fair 12$@12$; and choice 12?@12$ cents. Country Bacon.?We have no material change to notice in the bacon market. The stock is fair and the demand moderate. We still quote 11 @12 for hog round. Lard ll@12c. pound, according1 to qnality. Corn ?The corn market is quiet but steady, without any quotable change in prices. We Btill quote 72@75c. per bushel. Oats.?There is a large stock of oats on the market, but as there is no inquiry for them, there is no market price for them. Cow Peat.?There is only a small stock of peas on the market, and therefore they are very firm, at 90c.@$l per bushel. Flour.?We have no material or quotable change in the price of flour, and consequently we contiuue to quote $4.50@,$5 25 for common to superfine brands; extra family $5.50@$5.75 per bbl. Later front Europe. Quebec, May 3... ~ The SIMlner Anglo d'axon passed tbe River du Loupe yesterday afternoon?bringingadvioes from Liverpool to the 21st ultimo, four days later than by the Arabia. The steamer Niagara arrived at Liverpool on the 19th, and the Vanderbilt on tbe 20th ultimo. The sales of cotton for the three days amounted to 36,000 bales, of which speculators took 7,000 and exporters 5,000 bales. The sales on Wednesday, the day the steamer sailed, were 12,000 bales. The Niagara and Vanderbilt's news caused an advance of $d. on all qualities, and the market closed buoyant. Manchester advices favorable? holders demanding an advance. Consuls 95?@ 96$. The British Budget shows a deficiency of ?4, 000,000. The postponement of general payments, and the taxation of Irish whiskey, and stamped banker's checks are recommended. Wheat was quoted at a decline of 2d. per 70 pounds. Corn was quiet; yellow was scarce and white had advanced from 6d. to Is. per 480 pounds. Rosin was heavy, and spirits of turpentine steady. x 1__ nice was sieauy. The trial of Dr. Bernard, charged with complicity in Orsini's conspiracy, had terminated.? The jury, after one hour's consultation, returned a verdict of not guilty. Congressional. Washington, April 80.?The Bill reported by the Kansas Conference Committee passed both Houses of Congress to-day, by a majority of nine votes in each House. The vote stood in the Senate 81 to 22, and in the House of Representatives 112 to 103. The discussion on the bill in the House was excited, but there were no personal collisions. Upon the passage of the bill there was some ap1 plause and hissing, but it was promptly checkedWhat makes a Bushel.?The following table of the number of various articles to a bushel may be of interest to our readers: Wheat, pixty pounds.

He was found concealed in a hay house, in the rear of the house occupied by Charles McKenna, on Richardson street. South Carolinan, 5th inst. Quitman and Bonkam. It is to be regretted that these spirited Southrons should have broken the unity of the Southern phalanx, in the vote on the Conference Kansas Bill, especially as it placed them in temporary companionship with the Black Republicans and their new ally, the Black Douglas. Surely there can be neither discretion nor policy in thus declining fellowship, with an almost unanimous South, and with all the faithful Democracy of the North, against the Black Bepublican cohort, and their oorporal's guard of Democratic renegades. We learn, however, from reliable authority, that the gallant Bonham was led or misled, in his course, chiefly by his reluctance to sever from Gen.

Adger, then dne from New York, had not arrived up to the hour of our going to press, and we regret to state that the detention was occasioned by a very painful accident. She arrived about eight o'clock Sunday morning, and reports that when about 40 miles N. E. of the Frying Pan Shoals, a steam flue of the port boiler colapsed, forcing open the connection door and jilling the firemen's and engine rooms with steam. From the effects, three firemen, Leonard Wallace, Jeremiah Bridgeword, and Peter Reilly, all from New York, have died, and Frank McComb, another firemen, and Joseph Pollock, the chief engineer, were scalded, the latter very seriously. The liberated steam I, forced the gas and flames bnck into the firemen', room, and the peril of the ship from fire for a shorl time was imminent. With great promptness and address, however, the flames were soon brought under, and the wood of these rooms were onlj slightly charred.?Charleston Standard, 4th. YORKVILLE PRICES CURRENT.

With a view of purchasing t j ami of examining every kind, to find the best, we spent several days while in New York, in minutest inspection of all kiuda now in market, and out* | conclusions were in favor of Weed's Patent, as the most reliable Machine to put in the hands of every one throughout the State. We purchased one of them . and have used it some time, and our opinion is more than confirmed for it does every kind of sew= iDg on cloth or leather, does its work strong, nice and rapidly, and. has never been out of working order since it come into onr family, and it is so simple as seemingly impossible togetoutof order s or require repairs more than any ordinary person 3 can perform. It is nicely ornamented, and makes an ornament to the furniture of a parlor. It is very strong and little liable to wear out. Its ope' I r&iion can be easily learned with the printed direc r tions for a guide, and when any family has learned . its use, we nre sure they will not live without it. It uses two threads, thus making work stronger than if done by band with one thread, besides making both sides of the work just alike. Those who need a Sewing Maohine will do well to look at this.
