It is a copy of the new five dollar plate of the Union Bank, of which no bills have yet been issued. The color of the note is pink, which is also the shade of the female figure in the right hand lower corner and of the cotton plant in the left hand one. The central ornament is a V, bearing likenesses of the first five American Presidents, with two American flags, supporting an eagle with outspread wings, ia the back ground. The forgery of the name of Mr. Henry Ravenel, President of the Bank, is well done. The general execution cf the bill is fair, though suspicious; a close examination immediately reveals its falsity.

Hy some sort of a slant I have sluggishly sliried, as you will not bo slow lo'peroeire, Into this slrrpt/, slothful; sling tlnnp verbnge, in the outset, which I had best at once abandon.

It will be remembered that i promised, tjiat if pot prevented by the wet weather, I might send you "an occasional squib." The two days of which J have just made "honorably mention" have sufficed to somewhat dry my. powdejr, anil I propose now to give you another fire. One reason why I did not write last week was. rather a strange one?there was too much news, perhaps strict cahdor requires a "little chpnge of tfil phraseology just used?there was too much fbrfnews. fprefer that some other authority be, relied on for the earliest accounts of such events as rendered last Thursday (24tb ult.,) memorable In this cotfimunrty. Before these lines see the light, yaar readers"witf novfoubt have heard the "story to which I allnde.

'Cut my dear EsQtinKR. you must not be too inquisitive of me in regard to these matters, as I much prefer tp talk about something more agreeable. In recognizing your personality I find smong other advantages, one which I did not.in the beginning foresee. You are, yourself, a fimt rate Son of Temperance. And your editor, although nt warm friend and ?n intimatjp acquaintnincii. of our Mother, was not when I last heard, in the enjoyment of a filial relation. He drinjts very f^w' beverages and very little of that few, if any qt all. except such as nre prepared by her hand ; still ne is not in form so closely allied .to the teetotal family as ygu are yourself.

Supposing that I have asked his pardon, and that he has granted it, I win proceed to say We have a capitnl Division in this place. There is perhaps an anfioal amount of stamfna considering the number?between seventy and eighty gentlemen and about a score of ladies. The rirjks are filling up more and more constantly. The special order of almost every evwiihg is the Initiation of members. About half a dozen were introduced at our hist meeting; and it is believed that the -cold water tide is rapidly rising. The shore -is rather precipitous just here, and the waves may roll considerably higher, than fcliev row do, without damaging the commercial inteiests of the place?particularly a certain branch of trade, which ^ carried on with a vast amount of spirit. I have a good deal to say in commendation of our town, whan I strike that string, bat it is a well known fact that the same old kcij that I imagine may have first .unlocked Pandora's box and filled the earth with direst plagues?this same is too easily accessible here, and is constantly opening tho resources of vice apd crime and woe. I mean whis-Jtey. I know I shall at onco he charged with a gross anachronism in what I have just stated ? but in self defence I will fall back on tho wellknown fact that many ancient arts are unknown to the moderns ; and the violent presumption that many which arc regarded modern, were well tin- j dcrstood in the earliest ages. In the times of! Epiinethous I cannot say that the art of distilla-1 tion was not known. My only reason for tho j n^ovc intimation is the remnrknble fitness of said ' key to let loose all manner of evils on the earth. ! I do not know that this town has ever experiment- j ed much in anti-license government. You are ; aware that there are often mistaken views on this . question among the lovers of order and the ad- J vocates of temperance, which can be corrected only by positive demonstration?by nctunl trial. It is often urged that there is more drinking done ; when there is a municipal statute forbiddine the I gale, Mian when no such regulation exists. Many : entertnin this opinion honestly no doubt?strange as it may appear. A little experimenting, how- j ever, will generally put the question to rest. The "South Carolina Son of Temperance" pub-1 lished at B -nnettsville, is, I presume, extensively patronized by your circle of readers. It is undoubtedly worthy of u very extensive circulation; and it ^eems to be an improving concern?that is, it appears to get heller itself, as well as make its . readers better in many respects. I have many things to say if I can ever get at thera ; but b patient, and probably I shall amtnd as I grow ol ler. L. II. A. P. S. I have been sympathizing with my "anointed" friend "J. W.

But this time he is varnish'd up with Mercurial ointment ? the real unguentum hydrargyri?and in such cases it is usually advisable to take good care of one's self?to be cautious in going out of boors?and ae sure to not bo ezj?osed~lo inclement woather 1 I 'Corrtifcoiidence of the Southern Guardian, ' Washington, March 4tii, 1850.

The extra ses<4on'scems now to be a fixed fact. The President seht in t. mes- j reage to-night urging Congress to provide, by a ' I Treasury Note Bill, or in some other way, for thO/| awful hiatus in the Treasury. The President "ik ' | plain, unvarnished tale unfolds" of t^e lean con + dition of the Treasury. He statos that there will | not lie a stiver in the Treasury after the 15th of I June unless Congress does something; but ConI gross has taken the bit in its mouth ami does obj stinately refuse to do anything. The dificulty lies in this, that tins Black Pvi-publhans, sjiuoof Ujej Know Nothings, and tiie Peipi-ylwniia Democrats, , j wish to couple the Treasury Note Bill witih n ran Iification of the Tariff. The non action of Congress will leave matters in a very bad condition; the Government will be compelled to stop payment r jn June.

Tins'has ! fallen ypon the gay, heartless society here like a 1 - v . i ? thun'lerooii. i imvc never kiiowu ?n; touhihh , here to produce such a profound impfe*sioh.' The j position of the parties, the beauty <rf the erring woman, all invest the tragedy with the most thrilling interest. The condition of parties is very prculiar at this j time. The Black Republicans are not harmonious, one portion go with Seward in his advanced policy of aggression, another portion are anxious to adopt a more considerate course. This latter, portion- look to harmoniziog all the elements of oppositioU'North and South on a platforrrref generalities. The Democracy too, have their family jars, and they are threatened with a violent dis-> ruption. The difficulty arises on "the point of a slitvc code in the Territories. If the South insist upon this as a sine qna twn, the Democracy are split in twain. 1 should uot he surprise! 1 if there were four parties regularly in the field with their standard hearers in ttiffcuext Presidential election. The Seward party, the Kuo'v Nothing party, 'which Mnav take a hew name, perhaps the Union party, the National Democracy." pure and simple, standing. on tho Cincinnati platform, without addition or diminution, and thj Southern Rights Democracy, demanding Congressional intervention in favoring slavery in the Territories. Here is a large margin for agitation. It is difficult to foresee the results. There is danger that the "South any be seriously divided The Northern appetite is sharpening every day for Cubit. Rir'eii the Black Republicans feetyy oppose it. The material advan;ages tp the industrial interest of th*e North by the acquisition of Cuba, it'what makes the price so tempting to them. Nothing could more fully demonstrate-thc hypocrisy of the freedom shrickers lhau their taking so kindly to Cuba. The future is fbll of great events. -Cubrv and Mexico are both very inviting. 8ome think a little annexation from Mexico would pay better,, as the fruit there is perfectly ripe, whereas.

The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill contains a clause extending the Treasury Note law for two years, which will enable the Government to redeem the .'520,000,000 of those notes "falling due in July. Another clause in the same bill provides $450,000 far the coast survey.

For much nfnd many, Joseph .Surface &o]lath?n, Esq., is a representative." s J ium The Stxb Pretuhnry.?"Jho New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier, expresses the opinion that Senator Hammond, of Eolith Carolina, etands rho beet'ebance for the next nomination a? the Pcmocratic oandidute for-i.be Presidency. Qucb. he say?> i? the impressjon of the politicians Who gafher in "Nhtf-Tork.

The recent votes and speeches of Mr. "Hammond have^ placed him in the line of national promotion, as' they bavo tended largely to bring- Sbuth CaVolioa within the influence of national politics. The correspondent alluded to says that the friends of Judge Douglas arc willing and anxious to concede the matter?that Judge Douglas is still young and can wait, and all that sort of thing," We believe there is more truth in t|ie above than rwiny suspect. Sermtor Hammond's acts > :>ud ?peoches sfnee ho ha9 been-in the Senate, place him on ground about half way between the Southern Rights party and .Douglas freesoilism. and of all 'Southern Ijfati's'mHrr vfe know, he is.' best fitted to bring the Democratic pflery?which is fust progressing-that way?up.to the standard ?>f Douglas Democracy, by the year-1864. Such a plan only enfti secure Douglas' ftnirch to tlft Presidential chair. He is satisfied lie onrmot get the vote.of thoiSoutliln I860 ; iliat he cannot get the vote of the North in 1860, because the Democratic party there arc in the minority, and the other party will not tube him up. It is very natural, then, that he and his friends should be preparing for a more remote contejt. The ^election of Hammond is a goocl' one ; decidedly better than any Southern man ;-mftdrso by his speech at Barnwell last year, which was estenwvely copied iwd-gloried over by Northern Democratic presses* and approbated; even by the Tribune and Seward wing of the abolition party. Then why should he not be taken up by Douglas and Jiis rrieuiJsy pdfumhus (.Gto.) Sun. Xncxpaprrj Borrower*.?An exchange paper saj'8: A ^borrower' is tin unfinished being. He is incomplete. There is a straw loose in his organization. lie*is a bad man?that is au unsafe cne. He never comes to anything good, "and is always poor. It is ntrold Scandinavian prqverb that when Sat an wished to angle with and finally catch a man he first sets hiua borrowing.? The whole tribe of borrowers afc utterly menn, and the newspaper borrower is the meanest of tjic tribe. In this country newspapers. $rc so cheap that every man can?and evgry decent man does buy his own. At any .rate, no decent tnan will borrow a newspaper. It'Jie can'* get one ef lrig own he will do without. It dirties and rumples a * newspaper to handle it, and no roan likoa to |pivc . his fayorit'c family Journal soiled' by borrowers' uncleorh hands. Subscribers to good papei's like to preserve them in good condition; and in ordor that they may do this, the papers must be kept clean, smooth and whole. No one likes to preserve a dirty, torn or rumpled paper, and oneeuch .unsightly copy spoils a whole?one- number of a paper lost breaks the continuity of a volume, and there is a degree of sentiment, too, about a favorite family newspaper. A man acquires an affeetion for it, and as in the case of his wife and baby, he don't want anything else to meddle with it.? Therefore the newspaper borrower is a disturber of the peace and happiness of ftwnilies; he is a pest, anuisnnco, and shoald be permanently disposed of in a manner that would forever prevent him from annoying honest, decent people, who pay for their newspapers, and should be allowed to read and preserve them in peace, U?l> ?.
