STATE IMPROVEMENTS.-Wo had tho pleasure ot" p isfcing au hour, yesterday morning, iii the office of Messrs. Kay &" Howetson, architects, and in? specting the plans for certain public works to be erected this year. As we have given previously a description of thc jail building, wo will only state that the work is m the hands of competent con trac I ors, and is tobe finished bv tho 1st of January. The roof to be erected overear new State House has the merit of being safe, simple and economi? cal. In awarding the design and superintendence of this important work to thc gentlemen who bad been connected with the building from its incipi? ency, bis Excellency Governor Orr has satisfied our" citizens; aud we feel confident that iu the hands of Clark Waring, Esq.. a contractor who has always given satisfaction, thc State will suffer no detriment. We were also pleased to see that a hotel of first class capacity is to bo built on euc of the finest pu? nitions in this city, on tho Reilly estate, immedi? ately north of thc State House: and it is due to our friend Nickcrson to say that his guarantee to rent it and furnish it is an asoiaance lo tho travel? ing public that they will bc well cido'.uiuedin this city. There are to be in thc pr?sent building 107 bed chambers for guests; len private parlors, with beti rooms eu suite: dining rooms 05 by ho feet and 20 feet iu height; four lidies' parlors, with reception room, inclusive of a drawing roo n 21 hy SC-tho drawing room and parlors being s?> arrang? ed as to bc thrown together on any occasion of importance. Four lire-proof stair-cases extend from basement to fourth story, in addition tu tin* two principal flights for ladies and gentlemen; lifts to bring coal, &c, to each floor: hydrants to ex? tinguish fire, cisterns to keep constant supplies of water; and, in fact, every provision that can bc made or provided tor thc comfort of those who visit this commercial centre, has been studied. The basomeut will contain reading room, bar-room and billiard 9aloon, all thoroughly lighted. The design is capable of extension; and should the pro? prietors ot tho laud decide toc?me together in this magnificent enterprise, we believe that a fresh im? petus will be given to business, and our communi? ty be incalculably bonefittod thereby. [Columbia. Phoenix. General GBANT has ordered that a company of cavalrv shall accompany a number of Professors from Bloomington, 111., on a scientific tour to the western slope of the Rocky Mountains.

Tbero is not moro corn, if all distributed, than cuough to do the district longer than thc 1st ?rf February or March. Our crops, both of cotton and corti. have been extremely poor. I suppose ?nit more than one-third of a crop bas been made. Unless our people arc assisted from abroad, and a good Providence interposes. I do not seo bow many are to escape starvation. Tlmso person:-- in our our district who have heretofore been able to assisi, thc destitute, aro now reduced lliomselves and un? able to do anything in that way. CHESTERFIELD DISTRICT.-I think it will roquire at least 10,000 bushels ot* corn to supply tho neces? sities of tho poor of this district. MARLBORO' DISTRICT.-Crops very short; not more than one-third or one-half supply made. It. is estimated that thc district will require 1UO.00? bushels tn snpplv tho want. CHESTER DISTRICT.-There arc about throe hun? dred, and forty families, repr?sentais twelve hun? dred and fifty porsous. a largo proportion of whom are widows." orphans mid disabled soldiers, who aro. under present circumstances, unable to pro? vide for themselves. He tilinte it will require from SOIK) to 10.000 bushels to meet thoir necessities. KURSUAW DISTRICT-The Commissioners of thc Poor for this district have boon applied to for re? lief by five hundred white persons, who furnish certificates of destitution; and tho number of iloa tit.;to freedmon is moro than doublo that of tho whites. KORRY DISTRICT.-I believe that it will require not less than 20.000 bushels of corn to supply the district, 5000 of which must bo for charitablo dis? tribution. WILLIAMSBURG DISTRICT.-Oiic-twenti.dh of tho population of this district must bo provided for by charity, or greatly suffer. LEXINGTON DISTRICT.-From tho numerous ap? plications made to mo I know the destitution to be very great. In my opinion it will require md less than three thousand bushels of corn to supply tho wont. Colom-l Palmor, now resident in this district, among many certificates gives the follow? ing : Miss-, aged"23. has au idiotic sister, aged VS, phy.sica ly helpless, and an infant uieeo entire? ly dependent upon her; ber mother and elder sis? ter linvo both died during the past month, if not from actual starvation, from great want. The above estimates, with thc exception of Kcr sbaw District, have boon made without roferenco to thc ircedmcn. In almost, every district their destitution equals or surpasses that of tho whiles. GEORGETOWN DISTRICT.-We are impresso.! willi t:;o belief that it will require at least ;JUU0 bushels of corn io meet tho necessities of tho paupers of this district. The following extracts of letters aro in response to a circular sent out under direction of Governor Orr: GEORGETOWN. -Our population of whites is. as von know, small; and yet there are about fifty wi? llows in Georgetown, their sinai! children, who aro dependent, number about forty, while those who could work, if work was to bo lia 1, would swell tho number considerably. This does not, by any means, comprise all who are in actual want, lam not sure if lue ones who ure sullerins tho most aro not thosv whose delicacy leads them to complain tho least. I know of many such. ALLSTON. FAIBFIEMI DISTRICT.-The failure of tho crops last year, following the disasters of a de? structive raid, leaving ns comparatively nothing lo live on, or to work with, has reduced us t i that painful state that many (d'our people aro depen? dent on tho charity of those outside of our com? munity, wc no hinger being able to help on.: another. Tho situation at this time is really alarming: starvation.at tho door of many indus? trious men trying to make a ero,?; will not be able to plant without help, lt' they lail to got help now they will be in a worn-; situation next year if (hey live to yet through tins. EOGFVIEI.ODISTORT. There aro several old pi r sons, both white and colored, who for some months past have been sustained by the charity of others until thc community is no longer able to support them, und without aid from abroad they must per? ish.

FAIRFIELD DISTRICT.-Thero are in my immedi? ate neighborhood fifty or sixty persons in great v.ant, and who must* perish unless help comos speedily. KERSHAW DISTRICT.-Tho crops have failed lo such an extent that 1 feel satisfied from the repre? sentations made 'o mcon the subject that not more moans of subsistence hus been made than will be consumed by thc 30th of June next. HORSY DurraiCT.-From the effects of tho war iml the drought of last summer I believe that it will not require less than 20.000 bushels of com to iupply tho wants of the district. 5,000 of which must ho for charitable distribution. DOE WEST. ABBEVILLE DISTRICT. -In a limited neighborhood near Due West, a gentleman writes that they must have 100 bushels per month to keep tho people from actual starvation.

That list is daily increasing, and ?here aro immy II want who are unwilling to apply for relie!, lu addition to these supplies for t.ie destitute. 1 would suggest Hie appointing of a committee of intelligent and reliable gentlemen from each pre? cinct of tho district, tu seek out meritorious ob? jects among tho retiring, delicate, sensitive people who need relief, but. who would not lieg. CoREsnuuv, ABBEVILLE DISTORT.--Their ari! eight families in our immediate neighborhood who are in a suffering condition, ami who cannot liv? without assistance; and I have no idea that these eight are more than one-fourth ol'the number who cannot live without assistance in lins immediate neighborhood.
