A correspondent of an exchange pa per says he has ttfed the receipt for hors( radish to the face for neuraligia as well as tooth-ache. As the neuralgia and the tooth-ache are both nervous diseases, Ik thought the remedy for the one would bt likely to give relief to the other; so he made the application of horse radish, bruised, applied to the side of the bodj where the disease was seated, and it gave almost instant relief to the severe attack ol neuralgia. Since then he has applied ii several times, and with the same gratify ing result. At a collation given in Boston ot the occasion of the trial of the pioneer of i line of steamships between Charleston anc the former city, it was stated that the first 100 miles of railroad built in tht world, were built in South Carolina; that th< South Carolina Railroad Company was tlu first in the United States to ruu successful ly a locomotive engiue on a railroad, anc the first to carry the U S.

Another sphere of existence hat been assigned him, and we have reason tc believe that he is reaping the reward ol the just.?Rock Hill Chronicle. It is a curious and interesting fact, though few, perhaps, are aware of it, that the tastes of different countries in regard to the style of jewelry are so decidedly different, that particular designs are required for different countries. For instance, in the case of the ornamentation on the backs of watches, each country has its favorite style. For France, the general style is a small bouquet, or a shield with a few flowers, with a very Darrow border; the ground either straight barley or a fancy pattern of engineturning. This is also the style for Italy. For Germany heavy ornaments with little engine-turning. The Russian taste is corresponding, intermixed with jewelry and enamelling. The Spaniard likes scriptural subjects, diversified with bull-fights. Turkey and the East most admire flowers, and the watch-cases are in general decorated both inside and outside with these ornaments. Naval subjects are the current taste of the North Americans, sometimes varied by gold-digging scenes. Mexico and South America have also saints and scrip tural subjects, intermixed, however, with buffalo-hunts and cock-fights as their stand' ing decoration.

THE NEWS At Home.?The dregs Convention, alias the , rump Convention, alias the Douglas Convention, , nominated Douglas and Fitspatrick of Alabama, t at Baltimore. Mr. Fitspatrick has declined run^ ning for the Vice-presidency ; and Mr. Herschcl V. Johnson, of Georgia, has been nominated ic his stead. Mr. Johnson accepts the nomination ; declaring that in his opinion, the doctrine of nonintervention is necessary to the Union. Breckenridge and Lane accept, likewise. The South Carolina delegation, headed by Robert Barnwell Rhett, Sen., did not go into tho Baltimore seceding Convention. They with others remained al 3 Richmond. But the Richmond Convention sane) tioned the nomination of Breckenridge and Lane. ' Caucusing has begun in Washington for th< coming campaign for the Presidency. An efforl will be made to compromise between Douglas ) and Breckenridge, and run only one electoria 5 ticket in all the Northern Democratic States Meanwhile, however, the newspapers are hoist ) ing, some the name of Douglas, others that o J| Breckenridge, at their mast-head; and guns hare been fired for both parties. The chancei r are good for the next Presidential election to gc 1 into the House. The following "Rough Notts,' " then, will prove of interest3 "The House of Representatives, has nothing - whatever to do with the election of a Vice PreS ident, nor the Senate with the election of Pres ident. The powers of each body are distinc' ' and entirely independent of the other. If n< President be chosen by the electors, the Hous< . of Representatives may choose the President their choice being restricted to the persons hav ing the highest numbers, not exceeding three or - the list of those voted for President. If no Vict President be chosen by the electors, the Senat< shall choose the Vice President from the tw( * highest numbers on the list of those voted foi ; the Vice President If the House fails to elect . a President before the 4th of March next follow ing, then the Vice President, whether elected bj the electors or by the Senate, shall act as Pres ident. The rule, or manner of voting undei e which the Senate chooses a Vice President, is exactly the reverse of that which governs the ?

" | A uew discovery has just been made in the ' scientific world which will revolutionize all those 5 departments of the useful and fine arts, which 5 j have been using marble as their material. Quartz ; I rock, or flint is melted, and by the addition o! ! j certain elements, converted into the purest Parian !\marble"Walter Olvde," the New York cori J respondent of the New Orleans Picai/unc, thus ' j speaks ot this charming ana wonueriui inven! tion: i "A certain Dr. Benjamin Hnrdinge, a man ol 11 original mind?a careful, truthful, and neverI tiring student of nature?has spent the last fif" j teen years in his laboratory in liquidating quart j rock and combining it again in new and varied i j forms. Dissolving quartz silex with an excess ol t alkali is nothing new in chemistry, but to do it with the silex very greatly in excess over the al' ; kali, and in large quantities, and at small ;! expense, has been one of the greatest studies of J chemistry for the past quarter of a century. This Dr. Hnrdinge surely accomplished; for I ; have seen three thousand gallons of liquid dis? solved at one time and in the short space of two hours, and at an expense merely nominal. The . carmcitv of this monster machine is six thousand '! gallons, and it can digest twelve tons of quartz, t1 or oize, or flint rock, in twenty four hours, and 11 convert it into the waters of orystalization.? j But then you have the basis for the widest spec' I ulations Your readers are, perhaps, aware ! j that a very large portion of our globe is of just > tltis material, either in the form of sand rock 01 ! other siliceous substances. By chemical com j binations. Dr. Ilardinge makes an article of plas.! tic marble, purer than the purest Parian.? j' It can be made any color, by mixtures with va! rious metallic oxides. Every article of marble >' work may thus be cast as perfectly as casting? of metal now are, and copies of Corinthian pi I j j lars, statutes, mantels, &c., can be furnished at l an expense of probably one per cent, their cost. j By a proper combination with ordinary sand or l! marble a stone is made harder than the hardest j j flint and at a price less than the cheapest brick. ' Your parlors may be frescoed with marble, and ' | time will never injure the colors. This is, unI! doubtedly, the same process used in the cata5 j combs of Egypt, the colors of which are as fresh 4' as when they were first put on, three thousand 'j years ago. Your levees may now he nuilt ot f i stone made on the premises, and you will have no . trouble to make them equal in size to the foundaj non-stones of Solomon's temple. This liquid j quartz is also made into paint, incombustible | and soluble. Your ships and steamboats cannot . burn up, and the meanest hut will be as safe 11 from fire as the marble palace. This seeins al| tuo.st like the fables of the Arabian Nights, yet 5 j it cannot be otherwise than true. For dissolv)! ing gold-bearing quartz, this invention's value is r without limit. Every atom of gold may be pre ' I cipitated and saved, and then the liquid is of far I more value than the whole thing has cost.? i Think of one great iron monarch digesting twelve I tons of flint in twenty four hours." The astronomers have been asleep, and let a new and unexpected comet slip in on them una! wares last week. It has been seen in many i places. It appeared in the North west, and was sonic ten or fifteen degrees above the horizon.? I One description says it had a tail about nix feci \lon<j ; which, we suppose, was "all in the eye." J Some suppose it to be the Charles V. Comet j which is looked for "along now." President Buchanan has vetoed the Homestead ! Bill. He says it is unconstitutional. He says I it would be an injustice to the "old settlers, who paid SI 25 per acre for their homes, when the ] whole western country was a wilderness, to sell j the public domain to a "hungry horde" at 25 | cents per acre?now, too, that they would enjoy I the advantages of settlement and civilization.? He says, further, that it would be unjust to the hardy soldiers who have land pensions for their services iu the war of 1812; because already, under the bare prospect of such an enactment, their lands had fallen to sixty-odd cents per . acre. He says that it would be unjust likewise, ' to mechanics, artisans, &c., because it confers a 1 j benefit only on the tillers of the soil; and to the " | older States, in many respects?for the-I5ill contemplates giving some of the public lands h<the Slates in which they are situated. Reduction of the income of the government; temptations held out to speculation; partiality shown tonaturali zed over native born citizens and one or two other objections of minor importance, are those urged against the Bill by the President. Congress has adjourned after a session of two hundred and three days; therefore, the Homestead Bill is a nihility, at least until next session. Nicaragua.?The treaty between the United States and Nicaragua was ratified before Congress adjourned. The transit route is placed on a secure footing. It is to be protected by Ameri1 can soldiers, under the supervision and instruction of our government. ' Abroad.?The only news of striking interest *1??

The Madrid government has had a pamphlet published on the "Mexican question," which declares that Cuba is in i danger if the Juarez party is not made to succumb, and that it is the duty of Spain to interfere on behalfof the church or Miramon party. This is re. solved upon; the resources of the government [ are in readiness for the campaign ; and the navy , has even been sent as far as Cuba.

""SO O D 1 MERE-ItlENTION. J. Forrest Gowan, Esq., has been elected to ' deliver an address before the Palmetto Lyceum in Charleston. The Charleston Courier announces the death of Wm L. Porter, Esq., father of Hon. Wm. D. Porter, President of the Senate of South Carolina.

EDITORIAL INKLINGS. t The Anniversary of the Battle of Fort - Moultrie, was celebrated in Charleston, on Thursr day last, by a military display and nn address | from our townsman, Col. Wm. B. Wilson, an , honorary member of the "Moultrie Guards" of ! that city. Of the address, the Courier says : ' "Col. Wilson was received with cordial ap1 plause and with general expectation. He dis! charged his trust in an able and well considered r address, which showed a loving appreciation of 1 the lessons of the day, arid of the characters, : merits and examples of the great actors whose deeds were commemorated. 1 Taking the men and the action of Fort Moultrie, as representing the spirit and purposes of the founders and builders of the State, he pre 1 seated and illustrated their services and their 1 claims to grateful recognition and commemora- J tion, in a review of the salient traits of Southern i civilization, and of the distinctive characteristics, I resources, aud duties of South Carolina. The address was frequently, interrupted by ' out bursts of applause, and, on closing, the for tunate orator received the warm congratulations > of friends and of many gentlemen who there made I i his acquaintance. Did time and opportunity permit, we would gladly present a fuller notice I and an abstract, but we await the pleasure of a i perusal in print." The Mercury says: "The delivery of oration occupied an hour ; 1 and listened to with marked attention and inter1 est. It was characterized by deep thought, clas i sic illustration, and liberal and philanthropic , sentiment. His defence of the South and her [ institutions was able, eloqueut and earnest, and found a ready response in the bosoms of all who i heard it. To this able, elegant and eloquent address, it would not be in our power to do justice in an ? imperfect abstract. It is enough here to say ! that it was equal to the well kuowu reputation | of the orator ; and repeated bursts of applause J attested the satisfaction and delight of the audi icnce, among whom were noticed the faces of j persons not accustomed to turn out on this hot ' j day, as they prefer to leave that to the military, '! aud confute their attendance to such occasions 1! as they are pleased to call uncommou. Of all "modern institutions" we know of nothing that is abused more unscrupulously and ? with greater "malice prepense" than punning ! Here, from a forth-coming volume, eutitled "Notes on the Campaign of 1800," are some puns, for instance, that put the fun-loving facul. j ty to the greatest tension. It is a colloquy between four editors?"God save the mark !" on [the merits of the Presidential nominees: .I "The editor of the Free Soil organ thus descants on the prospects of the Know Nothing , nominees: "When your Bell rings for dinner at the White House, it will be the poorest meal . he Ever-eat." To which the Know Nothing editor rejoins: "Yes, Bnd you'll give 'em a slice of Jfum-lean for breakfast, and a Link-an' a half of spoiled sausages for dinner. That's about what your , Rail-splitter has been used to all his life." ,i Hie nquauer sovereignly euuur uuw cnuues in; "Tulk of Seceders putting in their man. What with Breaking ridges and long Lanes, gentlemen, I'll warrant you'll have a hard road to travel to . the White House." To which the Constitutional Democratic editor responds: "Cease your caterwauling, boys.? I The "Little Giant's grave has been Doug-a'-las by his own friends, and they've given him Fits, J by St. Patrick. The Pell oi' the Know Nothings I has tolled their requiem, and nothing now remains but for Abraham, the nigger stealer, to go back to his retirement, amid the rail-levy of the whole country and enthusiastic shouts of "three cheers | for Breckinridge and Lane, the candidates of the True Democracy.'" Exit last speaker with a "hip! hip ! hurrah !" All the rest "nailed to the spot, dumfouuded." and looking as if they had just seen some "glimpses of the future." This is American wit! Mr. Douglas, Mr. Breckenridge and Gen. | Lane, have severally, in speeches, accepted the | position of nominees for the Presidency. We j make an extract from each of their speeches, ! showing their feelings and sentiments in regard ! to "the Union." I Mr. Douglas, says: "Secession is disunion. Secession from the | Democratic party means secession from the Federal Union. Those who enlist under the seces| sion banner now will be expected, cn the 4th of March next, to take up arms against the iconstituted authorities in certain contingencies, j We have been told that in a certain event the : South must forcibly resist the inauguration of | the President elect, while we find those who j are loudest in their threats of such resistance engaged in the scheme to divide and destroy j the 'Democratic party, and thereby secure the I election of the Republican candidate. Does not this hue of policy look to disunion? Intelli{gent men may be presumed to understand the j tendency and consequences of their own ac| tions. Can the seceders fail to perceive that their efforts to divide and defeat the Democratic ! rartv. if successful, must lead directly to the Secession of the Southern States? I trust that they will sec what must be the result of such a policy, an! return to the organization ami Plat| form of the party before it is too late to save the j country. The Union must be preserved. The Constitution must be maintained inviolate. And it is our mission, under Divine Providence, as I believe, to save the Constitution and the Union from the assaults of Northern Abolitionists and Southern Disunionists.' Mr. Breckcnridge, sf.ys : "I see nothing in tne character of the gentlemen who composed the Convention, in the reao lutions adopted by it, and?if you will permit me to say it?in the character of the nominees, to justify such an apprehension. Instead of looking to the breaking up of the Confederacy I observe that one of the resolutions seems to contemplate the oxtending of it?lengthening its cords and extending its boundaries. I observe that another of these resolutions, instead of attempting to break up the Union, seems to pledge the power of a great organization to unite by all constitutional means its distant parts more closely by iron bands, and hope this trust will be speedily and grandly realized. I see nothing sectional in the position of the delegations there. Delegates from almost all the States of this Union; delegates particularly from our gallantyoung sisters, California and Oregon, upon the Pacific slope." * * * * "It is true that one of the resolutions contemplates the equality of the States in all the common Territories of the Union, and in all other respects under our common Constitution. But who so blind as not to know that this doctrine of the equality of the States has been the sheet anchor of our peace and safety, while unon the detmrtures from that doctrine alone have been brought about all the civil disorders. No man is a disunionist who wants to preserve the Union upon the principles of the Constitution and the equality of the States.? Our peace has never been disturbed, excepl when the principles embodied in these resolutions have been departed from." Gen. Lane says: "I cannot forbear expressing my gratitude anc my pride for having been placed by the action 01 the National Democratic party upon that tickel with the noble, the gifted, the gallant young Kentuckian. He is one whom I have known foi years; one whom I knew in Mexico; whom 1 have known in the councils of your nation; anc whom I knew when we were struggling for thi honor of our country upon a foreign soil. He ii a statesman who has borne himself nobly anc gallantly in every position in which he has beer placed. Allow me to say, my friends, that ii John C. Breckinridge you have the very soul o chivalry; you have the very soul of truth, o integrity, and of patriotism; and a man who i devoted to the service of his country. Then, m; I friends, is it not a proud thing to be associatei on the ticket with such a standard bearer ?That ticket represents the National Democrac; of this country, and contends for the qonstitu tional rights of the whole country. We bav gone on prospering and to prosper, as has m other country on the face of the earth, under i Constitution handed down to us by our fathers and which is sacred to every portion of th country, and the leading feature of which is equal ity in the Union of these States." Francis Carrano, Colonel of L'Eco a Italia, a bold corps of soldiers, now writing i history relating to Italian affairs, thus describe Garibaldi: Giuseppi Garibaldi is of medium stature, witl large square shoulders, herculean limbs and lonj reddish hair and beard, inclining to gray. Hi step is slow and majestic, his gait somethini like that of a seaman, and his countenance am conversation are also suggestive of the marine He wears a waiBtcoat buttoned up to the throat, i wide brimmed hat and wide trousers. Th noise of the city annoys and disturbs him. H likes the hill tops, covered with high trees, am enjoying the view of the distant horizon and th wide sea. He has a straight nose, and the ex presRion of his face is both lively and amiable His conversation is unpretending, but it rises t eloquence when he talks of Italy and liberty. An American officer who visited the Sicilia encampment, the day before they entered Paler mo, writing to the N. Y. Herald thus describe the tent, person, manners, &c., of the hero o "United Italy:" We were standing in the shade of a small tree Within a few feet a piece of white cloth wa stretched over four pikes, very much after th John Brown style of weapon, thrust into th ground, the covering hardly high enough to en able a man to sit upright within. A few blank ets thrown together at one end, a portmanteai and musket, with other small articles, composei its furniture. This was Garibaldi's tent, hardl; large enough for a dog kennel?no better thai the poorest of his soldiers. There were no sen tinels to guard the life of a man on whom th future of Italy so much depends, and non of the trappings of war expected around a Gen I era! world-renowned. We were told that unde ; this tree were his quarters, and that his cam] was nothing more than this motley collection o (lieu, icuis, uuiec?, D'k'iuioo, luusRcta uuu pmca with an occasional tri-colored flag hanging fron a tree or fence, scattered around in apparen confusion. I was disappointed and began to be lieve we had been deceived, when some one said "There is Garibaldi;" it was true. Accompan ied by a gentlemen iu citizen's dress, he wai [leisurely coming towards us. A second lool was necessary to assure one of the reality. Then was not a more ordinary, unassuming and ap parently uninterested man in the whole seem than he. Wearing a brown felt hat, pullet forward over his eyes, a red flannel shirt, coarsi heavy shoes and a pair of blue pantaloons, it the pockets of which both hands were thrust and with no coat on, Garibaldi looked more lik< any Yankee farmer coming in from the field than the leader of a revolution. Understandinj whom we were, he shook us warmly by the hand and in good English, assured us that we wen welcome. He was just going to dine, and wit! the remark that our forefathers had tables a: poorly furnished, he invited us to a seat witl him. So we sat down to a dinner which carrie( one's thought back to the dnys of our own Mari on. In personal appearance Garibaldi is abou five feet ten inches in height, strongly, but no heavily built, with muscle and a hand like iron fair complexion, somewhat sunburnt, and has t full short beard, originally red, but now partly grey; a high, straight forehead, brown hair with partial baldness, and dark eyes set fa: back give him, when uncovered, an air of quie dignity which cannot fail to impress one with ai undefined feeling of respect and admiration though his whole bearing is such as 'o make i stranger feel perfectly at his ease. There ii something remarkable about his profile which never saw before; the forehead and nose ap pear to be in the same straight line, without thi usual indentation between them. There is at air of unassuming modesty about him iu every thing. In conversation a quiet smile is almos continually on his face|; ho speaks slowly, seve ral times turning aside to give orders or receivi intelligence. The following paragraph will show tin extent to which life is risked by traveling 01 the "Western waters." "In looking over the list of disasters on thi Western waters since the incoming of the presen year, we find that it has already assumed terribli proportions. During the time, only five months upwards of one hundred lives have been lost, om million and a half of dollars lost, three seriou: explosiops occurred, forty four boats have beei snagged, seventeen burned, five lost and injure* by collision, twenty steamboats lost or cripple* in storms, and one hundred and nineteen barges coal boats and other flat boats lost by storm.? The number of serious accidents sums up tw< hundred and twenty one." General William Walker?the man win has made so much fuss in and about Nicaragua after having been very quiet for some time, ha homeless one when asked when he was "Going " home." Little can the fortunate home-one dream 1 what strength there is in the mere idea of home ?strength, to resist temptation and sin ; nor can I he know what madness there is in the idea of s homelessness?madness, to rush away from care, ] away from the struggle, away from the myste- (i rious burden of existence; for, all around, there o is no cord to hold the spirit up nor any voice to t call it back. t "Going home." Our young friends, the atu- c dents?the young ladies and the young men?the t again crime to the surtace. the Loturn ma uuar tlian, says: "This "grey eyed matt of destiny," who hai figured so largely in his attempts to revolutionizi Central America, has again left this country, a: we learn from late New Orleans papers, for flu prosecution, doubtless, of an expedition looking towards this same long cherished idea. Sinci his capture, a few years since, by Commodon Paulding, little has been heard of him. Doubt less, however, he has been maturing plans, whici he expected to execute as soon as his sagacity saw an opportunity suited to their consummation. Ilis purpose has been to free the Central American States from their present tyrannical government: and now that a way seems to be open fot the accomplishing of that design, we find him or the alert. His plea for the present expedition is, that England has surrendered the Bay Islands to the government of Honduras, notwithstanding their remonstrances to the contrary. The inhabitants declare the strongest repugnance to the transfer of themselves to the government of Honduras, and only wait a suitable opportunity to rebel. Guardiola, the despot so much detested by the Bay Islanders, was put in power by St. Salvador and Guatemala, who entertain the bitterest enmity to the Walker and Juarez Govern metit in Nicaragua. Guardiola was forced upon the people of Honduras by the States of Guatemala and St. Salvador, and they would unite with the Bay Islanders and Walker in throwing off the rule of this despot. This would open up a new channel for the entrance of Walker into Central America. Walker has numerous agents in New Orleans, encouraging emigration toltuatan. Many have already gone, and there are many others still willing to emigrate, besides others who are ready to assist with their means. Walker has given his whole life to this scheme, and although many are disposed to regard it as the dream of an adventurerer, be may yet succeed in gaining for Central America what Garibaldi is acquiring for Southern and Central Europe.

We were there, but could only see the , orator; there being too much noise to hear a r single sentence where we sat. ' The Ursuline Academy of the Immaculate Con( ception closed on Thursday afternoon with a disi tribution of Premiums, before a select audience, j to which we had a card. The plan of teaching, the tone of discipline, and the style of instrucs tion imparted, all impress us with an idea of 1 thoroughness quite beyond what we conceive to t be usual. Bishop Lynch and Father O'Connell . conducted the ceremonies on Thursday after3 noon. The occasion was eminently a successful one. The Academy is doing well. We could 3 not learn the number of girls in attendance, i The Columbia Female Academy closes quietly, without a public demonstration. This institu?I tion, under the present administration,?that of 1 the Miss Reynolds,?has rapidly taken rank as 2 oue of the best in the State.

The Twenty-Eighth In Yorkvlilc. Last Tursday, the anniversary of the Jasper Lierht Tnfantrv and the battle of Fort Moultrie D J on Sullivan's Island, was celebrated befittingly in our good town of Yorkville. The "Jaspers" and the Cadets of the Military School assembled at nine o'clock at the Male Academy, and marched to the music of drum and fife to the Independent Church. There a large audience had assembled, or were assembling, to join in the patriotic joyB and recollections of the day. The marshall of the day, Mr. P. B. Darwin, had reserved seats for the two companies, which they now occupied. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. L. A. Johnson. Then followed music by the Ebony Sax-Horn band; after which Lieut. I. N. Withers, in his graceful and elegant manner, read Mr. Simms' account?the best to be had anywhere?of the battle of Fort Moultrie, given in the revised edition of his history of South Carolina. As he spoke of the wretched condition of the country,, the advance of the enemy against Charleston by sea, the desire of Major General Lee to abandon the Fort and defend Charleston only, and the stern determination of Gov. Rutledoe and Moultrie to defend it to the last, the listening audience had in their mind's eye a vivid picture of the event; and were prepared for the Oration. Mr. E. McIver Law was the orator of the day. Mr. Law, on rising, rapidly outlined the battle itself; paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of him whose mime the company bears?Sergeant Jasper?who, when the flag of the fort was shot down, replaced it at imminent risk of life ; spoke a few words in honor of Mrs. Ber nard Elliot, a lady of Charleston who presented the soldiers of Moultrie with a pair of particolored silk colors after the battle ; and then passed to the history of the past of our country. With a skillful hand, Mr. Law depicted the causes which led to the formation of the republio; and the elements of discord and disunion which existed within it at the very time of its birth. On the one hand, the feeling of brotherhood generated by the war of Independence; the felt weakness and inadequacy of the "Old Articles of Confederationand the desire to procure the general defence and promote the general welfare?these causes led to the union. On the other hand, the difference in the interests, pur-, suits and character of the two sections?the calculating coolness and narrow-minded prejudices of the Puritan of New England in conflict with the high and generous impulses of the cavalier of Virginia and the Carolinas?the consolidating tendencies there, and the States Rights and Statessovereignty tendencies here^-these were the elements of disunion. Mr. Law then discussed tne influences of these "ultimate causes" on the history of our country. He contended that the real ground of all our troubles was not the slavery question itself, but something underlying and producing this agitation?that is, the avarice and desire of power existing at the Nortn. In accordance with this opinion, he said that were the slavery question blotted out forever, the agitation would still go on. He therefore said, that, to secure our rights one word must become familiar on every lip, and that is disunion. It is, he said, the only remedy for the disease. He spoke of the Democratic party as the only one that had the name even of National; and said that was gone. He spoke of its Platforms as an effort to reconcile that which is irreconcilable; and quoted the incantation songof the witches in Shakspeare's Macbeth very forcibly: niftCK HpiniH hqu wuiie, Red spirits and gray, Mingle, mingle, mingle, You that mingle may. We feel that we have done entire injustice to both the argument and the eloquence of the gifted young speaker. Some of the hearers, doubtless, differ with him ; but they cannot deny either his fairness or his ability. The clearness of his views, the systematic arrangement of his argument, the richness and copiousness of his illustrations, the finished beauty of his periods and his graceful mien and utterance, all were admirable. We do not speak thus merely in compliment to Mr. Law, but in justice to his merit. A bright future, we predict, awaits him. In the afternoon the audience reassembled, on the grounds of the Female College, to discuss a pic-nic given by the ladies of Yorkville in honor )f the Jasper Light Infantry. This was really in honor to all concerned. Everything passed cff pleasantly. After the pic-nic the Jaspers and Cadets para led on the College Green, under Major Jenkins. rhe parade was in all respects commendable.? rhe two companies are practicing with blank jartridges; and such is their promptitude in )beying commands, that each fire seems to be i single discharge. Judging from observations made on this occalion, in point of good pic-nics, handsome ladies, ind gallant officers and soldiers, &c., we do not hink our town would suffer in comparison with my of its size. }unday-School Celebration. Last Friday evening was a time to be remem>cred by the young-folks of Yorkville. They asembled about three o'clock at the Associate leformed church, and formed a procession, unler Chief-marshall, Maj. E. b. Clinton. The irder of the procession was first the Cadets of he Military School?who had a special request o participate in the celebration?then the Methidist School, the Associate Reformed School, he ministry and orator of the day, and the in 'ited guests. It was, indeed, a goodly sight to pr ee, the long procession of happy and smiling tai aces as they prooeeded to the Methodist Church a I There the exercises of the evening took place.? ah These exercises consisted of prayer by Rev. J. sir Honroe Anderson, the gifted and amiable an jresident of the Female College; singing by the mi Sunday-School children ; poetry by the Misses ; en ixtracts and short original speeches by the mas- ap :ers, or little boys; and the oration of the day fci jy Maj. M. Jenkins of the Military School, af- to ;er which the benediction by Mr. Anderson. ac The singing was interspersed at intervals with ta the speeches and poetry of the children. We must th :ommend the children for the part they acted on in the occasion. They did honor to their teachers as and themselves. Their behavior was remark- In ably good ; and we feel sure that the whole ci large audience went away proud of them as the oe children of Yorkville. Let this good behavior, In children, characterize you everywhere and at all Ti tiroes; and it will do much to make estimable si men and ladies of you, when you grow up. It will do much to make you happy, too. er Maj. Jenkins' address was a beautiful thing, bi He portrayed the important position of the Sun- in day-School teacher very strikingly. He took ol the position that the infant mind is not, indeed, C a blaok page, as Locke affirms, on which the teacher may write any impressions, and there- It fore givo it any character he pleases ; but that d it is rather like the tree of the forest which may n be trimmed and trained to grow in many shapes, a but still retains its identity. This is certainly ii the only proper view of human nature. The t? teacher's business then said Maj. Jenkins, is not to create mind, but to guide, in its development, tl Maj. Jenkins then addressed some practical tl remarks to the parents and children connected ei with this school ; and concluded with remarks r directly addressed to tho two presidents or su f< perintendents. His whole speech, in fact, was a advisory in its character. It was filled with the il highest Christian sentiments ; and "colored all v o'er" with those rich images from nature awl poetry which illustrate and ornament all the b Major's thoughts. ' t After the address the auditory repaired, as t they did on Thursday evening, to the Female i College grounds, where they enjoyed a very c pleasant pic-nic which had been prepared for t them. c All whom we have heard speak of the oc- 3 casion, regarded it as entirely creditable. g Much of the pleasure experienced both on d Thursday and Friday, was occasioned by the t good music of the young Ebony Sax-Horn band; t and we feel bound to acknowledge the kindness 1 of Mr. Weiss to the community on both these s festival occasions. The band under him is de* n cidedly a luxury to our town. e We wish "many happy returns" of these and kindred festivals to Yorkville. 7 Cotton Bloom, Ac. d We have been shown by Mr. Wm. M. Kerb, a P full blown Cotton bloom, taken from bis premis- 9 es near town, on Wednesday, 27th ultimo. This 0 is the earliest bloom of which we have heard in 9 . ! this district. Mr. Geo. W. Byebs has left at oar office a Cot 1 ton stalk measuring over two feet in height, and 8 says he has many "more of the same sort." _ (i The Weather during June. Maj. McKenzie has favored us with his statistics of the weather during Juno. The ther- ^ mometer ranged in the morning from 54? to 74? ; a* noon, from 70? to 98?; at evening, from G0C ( to 86?. The coldest time was the morning of the 12th : the warmest, the noon of the 30th. The ' i wind was in the S. 2 days; N., 3; E., 6; W.f . 4; N. E., 1; N. W., 11 and S. W., 4 days?

We may here remark that the Major has added greatly to the interest of his observations by the } purchase of a rain-gange?an instrument for as- ^ certaining what depth of water falls at any given time. For instance, on June 12th, it rained 05 decimals of an inch; on that night, 15; on the ( 13th, 35; on that night, 12 ; on the 19th, 15 ; on the 22d, 15?making in all 1.57 inches.? Half an inch of rain will generally put the ground in first rate ploughing order, if not make it too . wet. Our thanks are due to the Major. He has * them. Yorkwille Fire Company.

Editors:?After your extended, fair, ,] discriminating and complimentary notice of the j recent examination and commencement cf York- f I ville Female College, it may seem supereroga- c tory to offer an appendix to your details. But s j where there is so much merit involved, and so 1 many claims as yet only partially recognized, c and not duly appreciated, we presume to pen additional notes, whose design is both to confirm your flattering comments upon the worthy Insti tution, and also to give expression to some impressions of a practical kind and tendency. We -i i 11.1... ? ??i , - neariuy enuursean turn. ;uu ?iuic, nu-i iuujc iw, touching the late examination of the young ladies and other appurtenances of the literary 0 festival. In our judgment, any one who was ^ privileged to hear the several classes, conducted 1 through the protracted, searching, and systematic examination, upon their respective studies, ? was puzzled to know, whether most to admire u and commend the evident competency and faith * fulness of the corps of Instructors, or the many marks of industry and attentive habits, which 11 bad conduced to the vigorous mental culture and sound scholarship of the Pupils. And further. Any who heard the compositions of the Graduating Class, and having an ear for music, caught the soul-stirring melodies and enchanting songs of the Concert (from which, tl however, the ill-timed prattle of at least tfoe hun- Q dred garrulous beauty-inspired or love struck maidens and gallants, detracted much) could not an TV tknf tko tnrifinsi t/ilant ka C. class would have done honor to older heads, maturer minds, and even braver hearts; and that the musical department, under the superintendence of Professor Muller and Miss Collins, was ^ in keeping with the high aims and successful achievements of the College. In touching the other items upon the pro- *" gramme of the Commencement exercises, we have only space to mention the Address, so kindly furnished by the Lyceum, and at the hands of tc Mr. Erwin, and which was a well-conceived and well-written essay upon "The Greatness of the J ^ South and the brilliant, comprehensive, pol- w ished and eloquently delivered Anniversary Ora- A tion, by Mr. Richardson. Thus has been closed a Session, which, by its hundred students appearing on the College Cat- ^ alogue, not only exhibits it as in an eminently ol 4}^ osperous condition ; bat by the scholarly atinments of the young ladies, manifested before arge examining committee?quorum parsfui? jo make9 a strong appeal to parents who de e for their daughters, a sound, substantial d practical, as well as polished, mental and jral training.

As proofs of her effiency and tho validity of her claims?the writer ily refers to the men who conduct her, and the istructors wno supply uer cnairs?me terms 01 uition, Board, &c., and the fruits which, for x years, she has borne. While we are pleading the cause of a noble iterprise, wo venture, upon our own responsility, to suggest for public consideration, and i order to indicate channels for the beneficent ferings of the liberal, some of the wants of the Allege. 1. The payment of the subscriptions the Colge. There is about a thousand dollars still ue in this way. Surely, the kind friends will ot wait to be called upon again ; but will imlediately discharge an important duty by psyig to Edward Moore, Esq., Treasurer of Trusses, what they formerly subscribed. 2. The outstanding debt to be cancelled. More ian three thousand dollars are required to free je Institution from pecuniary liabilities. How asily could a few of the favored come up to the elief of an enterprise, which promises so much or the advancement of the cause of education; nd also erect a monument to their own generosty! We commend this feature to those who are ^ risking to do good by benefactions and donations. J. A Library and Heading Koom. There are int two hundred volumes in the Library, and here are no periodicals and newspapers accessiile to the young ladies. We will not insnlt the ntelligent judgment of the reader, by even deilaring the privation to which the students are hereby subjected. If every Parent who has had, ir may have, a daughter educated here; every mung lady who has received, or may receive, ;raduation here; every young man, or baohelor, rho has married, or expects to marry, a lady hat will have received her training and polish lere ; and every monied man or woman, to rhose heart an educated woman commends herelf, will make but a small contribution of either coney or good books?this want will not long xist. 4. Apparatus for illustration of Natural Phiosophy, Chemistry and Astronomy. Five hunIred dollars, or a little more, could be well exiended in supplying this deficiency; and the mount would soon reproduce itself, to the credit f the donor, in its practical and beneficial realts. 5. A Boarding Establishment in connection with he College.' This is, in the judgment of some, , want of the College. But we are free to say, hat we greatly prefer that our daughters?we ire the father of two?should be among the pary who can find lodging under President Anderon's roof, or among those who can enjoy the [in iness and accommodation, furnished to twenty >r thirty, by the excellent Christian families lesignated in the Catalogue?than to be crowded, itintPfl nnH frottorl nnf tn atanvorl anrl ?nl. prized?as is often done in the Boarding estabishments of Colleges. Bat if any, differing 'rom onrself, deems sach a department, or provision in the College a present want, and TjilHurlish the funds sufficient for this purpose, the natter can be discussed and perhaps executed to latisfaction. G. A continuation of the former favor and pat' onage to the College, seconded by prayers to the }od of Grace that He will sanctify the in9trucions, here so fully given, and make the Institu;ion a nursery of religion?an angel of blessing :o every family, and an ornament and a substantial good to every patronizing community.
