Thc government's mo? tive for the acquisition of San Domingo is its geographical relation to this country, as a means^ of national defence, as well as its general mari* time advantages, and hence, as a ?preliminary, Jtee lease or 'Sania na was effected, and the jurisdiction of the United States, established over that part of the territory of San Domingo. Several senators who a:t cognizant of the particulars or thc negotiation privately assert that San Domingo.'s or os much importance to us as the Island or Cuba, ir not more, and thet the acquisition or one will more easily lead to the possession of others. It may bc that the President of thc United Stetes, in a mes? sage recommending the ratification or a treaty, will briefly-etate his reasons for negotiating. It ls certain, 'however, that he has stated them to some of his most intimate political friends. Al? though the text of the treaty cannot now be pub? licly made-known, there ls no doubt it contains thc following propositions: 1st. The United States sripulate to pay the sum of one million five hundred thousard dollars. 2d. This money to be devoted to the liquidation of all the 'Obligations or thc Republic of San Do? mingo, Including the redemption of its currency, which La-rt presen ted to be of comparatively small amount. 3d.

San Domingo is to be annexed or acquired as a territory, not ai a State, and subject to the legislation or Congress- In the same manner as the territories of the United States. 7th. The treaty is to be valid to all intents and parposes when ratified by thc Senate or the United States and continued by a vote of a ma jority or the citizens or Sau Duinlugo. THE IIGIIIXIX? STRIKE.

In August last the Erie ring attempted to wiest the Albany and Susquehanna Road from its rightful owner? ship. They so rar succeeded as to throw thc property Into litigation and receivership, but in the recent trials every point raised has been de? cided against the Erie ring, and they are made to bear the whole costs or the proceedings. Thc gTnnd result bi, that the road, its franchise- and management, have been remitted to thc control or Mr. Ramsey aud his co-directors, and that they arc now in undisputed possession again. -Mr. Atfted II.

The Mayor and Aldermen of'thc "City by thc Sea" have, In their pride of being elevated to thc position or ' City Fathers," forgott?i mose who ratsed them, and nave legislated not for them or anybody else, bu: tb em sel ves; consequently their supportera arc determined to wreak their ven? geance upon them by hurling them from their "high places." Thc commencement or this effort ^fo displace thom is tffc bill offered by DeLarge to extend the City of Charleston, and to provide for the election of municipal officers therein. This bill uad not been prepared when notice of its in? troduction was given, and the unanimous con? sent given to thc r< quest that that notice of its In? troduction should bc considered "a first reading,,; ls an evidence that its passage will meet with no opposition In the House, and certainly very little in the Senate. It appeals to thc prejudices of the colored ruemberB, for which reason they will vote for lt, and thc white members dare not refuse to do the same. This morning Dcl.argo endeavored to bare a meeting or thc Charleston deiagation in order.to draw up the bill, but railed, and for this reason it was sot called up for its second reading to-day as was intended. Even the introduction of this bill was not deem? ed a sutneient snub to thc Council which dis? graces the City of Charleston. To-day Ransler gave notice that he would shortly introduce a bill to amend certain acts in relation to thc power and privileges of the municipal government of thc City or Charleston, in thc matter of taxation and licenses, and to compel, in all its legislation, thc Incorporation or the principle or equal civil rights and public privileges. CORBIN AM? CAI-". Cain answered to bis name in thc Senate last Thursday and disappeared. Corbin has not yet made his appearance. To-day Nash asked fol" leave or absence for three days for Cain. Itatney wished to know ir he and Corbin didn't stay away ?s long as they desired without leave. Some one else moved to give them both leave or absence for the rest or the session. Leslie -. .-s willing to give Cain that privilege, tr 'twas only to give him an opportunity of running around to Edgefleld, Ab? beville and elsewhere, making " Edgefleld speeches. " The leave was granted. RAILROAD MATTERS. Yesterday in the Senate. Leslie, without pre? vious notice, introduced a bill (which received Its first readiDg) to regulate the rights and powers or railroad companies. To day it was taken up, read by its first title, and referred to the Comm It tee on Railroads. The bill provides that it may be lawful for any railroad company or corpora? tion organized under thc laws or this State to merge and consolidate tts capital stock, franchi? ses and property, with that or any other connect? ing company. The report or the Railroad Committee on the bill to amend thc act incorporating the George? town Railroad Company was to have been taken < up In tlic Senate to-day, but wa? not, because the ] bill could not bc found-havlag been stolen du- I ring thc last fow days. The bill to charter the t Manchester and Augusta Railroad has been maTle ? the "special order" in the House for the 12th of 1 this month. The Senate bill to authorize the ex- ; teuslon or thc South Carolina Central Railroad rrom Sumter, ria Camden and Lancaster Court? house, to North Carolina, in the direction of Char- , lotte, In that State, and the House bill "to empow- , er certnin persons therein named to construct a ] railroad," (formerly a bill to grant right of way , over the Charleston and Savannah Railroad,) 1 were referred to-day to the Senate Railroad Com- ( mlttce. < SPECIAL TAXES. A short time ago a bill was Introduced author Izlng the County Commissioners of Darlington County to levy a tax or four mills on the dollar to j dciray the expense or rebuildlug a courthouse. The bill was reforred to the Committee on Fi- ( name, which reported yesterday, stuting that the taxable property or thc county ls $0,160,890, and that a tax or four mills would realize $20,733 50-100, and that ia the opinion or thc committee two mills on the dollar, which would realize ' $10,301 78-100 was sufficient. The bill was ameud- 1 cd in accordance with the recommendation,-read ' thc second time yesterday, was engrossed, read the third time to-day and sent to the House. Thc ' bill offered by Hoyt to authorize the County Com- ' missioners of Collcton and Spartanburg Coun- ' ties to levy additional tax, (the former four and 1 thc latter two mills on thc dollar) for thc pur? pose or liquidating their debts, was called up to-day, read by Its titi? and referred to thc Fi- ' nance Committee. : Jillson offered a resolution to-day, which was laid over under thc rules, authorizing thc Com? missioners of Kershaw County to levy a special 1 tax of two mills on thc dollar. A jolut resolution to levy a special tax or two mills on thc dollar to rebuild the jail or Williams? burg County was adopted by thc Senate to-day. TnE POUT ROYAL METROPOLIS. Every day or two some person residmg iu the vicinity of Port Royal, generally one who has, ' with thc exception or the laBt twelve months or so, lived north or Mason and Dixon's line, comes straggling up to the Legislature, and "talks" con? siderably or thc prospects or Port Royal, until those who love old Charleston conclude to annex her to ihc new metropolis so that her name can at least bc mentioned with thc new "City by the Sea." While a great many talk of the prospects of Port Royal, a few act with a view or bencflt ting thc place. There were introduced In the Senate yesterday two bills, one to incorporate the Fort Royal Improvement Company, and the other the Fort Royal Dock nud Warehouse Company. The Hist named bill provides that Royal E. Robbins, D. Appleton, H. II. Boody, and Stephen C. Millett bc created a body politic, under the name of (he Port Royal Improvement Company, with a capi? tal stock or one million doilars. to be divided in shares or one hundred dollars each, for the pur? pose of constructing canals, plank and turnpike roads, street railroads, Ac, iu the Connty of Beau? fort, to construct wharves, warehouses, hotels, bridges, dwellings, dig channels, Ac. Thc second bill provides that II. L. Stuart. Stephen C. Millett, Robert H. Thayer, Calvin Adams, and Shelton L. Hall, be created a body corporate, under theuaiue or thc Fort Royal Dock and Warehouse Company, with a capital or one million dollars, to be divided in shares of one bund red dollars each, for the purj pose of constructing upon or near the harbor or Tort Royal and Beaufort, dry or floating docks, piers, wharves, yard*, depots for coal and ot her supplies, railways, foundries, ware? houses for commercial uses, and other conve? niences anti structures for receiving, docking, building, equipping and supplying steamships and vessels or any description. And said com? pany may issue certificates or indebtedness, and bonds, with or without coupons attached, pay? able in gold coin and other lawful money of the United States, to an amount not exceeding thc amount or the capital stock aforesaid; and may also receive and hold, in care and custody, aud on deposit, any goods, wares, merchandise, money, or other property, on terms and condi? tions stipulated; aud may make advauces 011 the same, as may be agreed upou by parties in iu l er est, may buy and sell foreign or domestic ex ?hange, maj advance on bottomry bond ar mortgage on steamships and other vessels, V.-JI or without assumiug the dangers of the seas.

The bill received its flt reading. On-introducing thc biil, Wright stated ihe piar ers were in the habit of having stores on tl? plantations, and when they paid their hands, i stead of giving them monoy, gave them checks scrip, with whicli they could only purchase ar des at the plantation store. This, he said, wa? serious evil to the colored people, not only t cause it confined thc expenditure of their wag to the one store, bul al-o because these stol keepers and planters were In league with 01 another, and between them thc colored men we cheated. COTI ON' BTE A LI X G. Wright introduced another bill, which provide that no storekeeper or trader living outside of xl corporate limits of & city shall boy cot;?a b tween the hours of six P. M. and six A.M.

Messervey, BantowJe's Bridge, over the Sion River, in St. Paul's Parish, Colleton County. Yei terday, No. 3 on the 'Calendar, a report (uafavon ble) of the Committee on Incorporations on a.pi titlon of John II. Law was called up.

H TAT fi LANDS. There has been considerable grumbling arnon) the members of thc Charleston County delegatioi about lands belonging to the State lu charles to: comity, and resulted In the introduction in thi House of a joint resolution directing the con m \ commissioners to examine and report what hindi belonging to Ute State, in thc portion of Charles Lou County known as the Parish of St. Johu'i Berkeley, arc now held and nsed by private iudi valu?is; the said report to be made lo thc Attor ney-Geueral, and by him transmuted lo thc Gene ral Assembly. Yesterday the resolution was uloptcd by thc Senate. If thc couuty commis .toners work with their usual alacrity, the lon? term senators may have au opportunity of bear ng thc report read. WALK IN AND HELP TOCRSELF. A bi l "ceding the Jurisdiction of Hie State ol South Carolina to the United States of America iver such lands as may be acquired for public mrposes by thc said united Stales of America," las been passed by thc Senate. Under this act he United States authorities can walk lulo the state and select a piece of ground, assert that hey want to build a lighthouse or erect a Hag? nau* thereon, and quietly go to work. EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS.

SECURITY WANTEP. Arnim s resolution instructing the Committee >u Finance lu inquire and report what security is leposiied by H. II. Kimpton, (the Financial Agent )f the Slate in New York,) to secure this Stale, ivas adopted by the Senate to day, lt is stated that Kimpton hus given no security. .If this bc :ruc, it certainly gives another evidence of thc loose way that thc Radical State officials have of arr; lng on business. ALL AliOUT A SAFE. Yesterday Raiucy introduced a resolution au? thorizing the clerk of thc Senate to purchase a safe for the deposit of State papers, and to-day when lt was called up offered as an amendment that he should not pay more than one thousand dollars for it. This seemed to be a rather high price, and several of the senators so expressed themselves, among them Jillson, who made a long speech in opposition to lt, saying among other things that the Seuatc had better at once purchase a fireproof safe Inrgc enough to hold all of the senators so that they could go through judgment day in it. [ile Is thinking about "meeting thc Issue.''} Leslie was In ia vor of buy? ing the safe, and was of the opinion that one to answer the purposes of tho clerk could not be purchased for less than one thousand dollars. lils speech was so long and warm that Nash's suspicions were aroused, and he asked Leslie if he was an agent for thc sale of safes. The resolu? tion was adopted. COLUMBIA POSTOFFICE. Thc special order for 1 o'clock to-day, In the House, was "a Senate bill to grant and give thc consent of the Legislature o? this State to thc conveyance to thc United States of the lot of laud situate on Richardson ami Laurel streets, in tho City of Columbia, hereinafter described, for the purpose of a postoitlec and courthouse, or for other purposes, a d to cede to thc United States jurisdiction therein." This bill has been, appar? ently, a source of great trouble to thc good peo? ple of Columbia, and since its introducliou nume? rous petitions, both favoring arid opposing the bill, have been sent to the Legislature. Some say that Hie designated location is "too far out of the way," aud others that "it ls just the place." When the bill was called up to-day, Perrin moved lo postpone Hie further considera!ion of it until Wednesday next. Neagle moved to recommit the bill, and all papers lu connection therewith, to the Committee on the Judiciary, wiih instructions to report on Wednesday next. This motion was agreed to.

Corbin is op? posed to the repealing bill, audhas a bill to amend the townsh'.p act. Over bese two bills there will be an obstinate fight. Tte supporters or each are about equal in nunktr, and thc result is doubtful. In my last letter I mentioned tuaton Thursday morning lau there was lying on thedesks of each of the senators a copy of Dr. Pratfs "History or the Marls of South Carolina, and ol the discovery and development or the Native Boie Phosphates of tbe Charleston Basin," and that it was not known who placed them ?here.

Thc merry spirit of meeting, and the cold, row day, prompted conviviality. Alas ! that conviviality should find expression these days in such deep and frequent draughts ! The fes? tive genius of happy reunion, with its genial Joviality, gives place to the revel and riot of Bacchus. Drunkenness mars and degrades these occasions. We aro no "preachers or temperance-lecturers," but none could witness tho drunkenness that stalked and ran riot on our streets on Monday last, nor see and hear of its dread and bloody sequels, without a Bbudder. It was frighful ! Some amendment, some remedy to this increasing demoraliza? tion must, come, or this vice will be our curse and ruin. The snow In the evening fell like nature's winding-sheet upon our village. Would that lt may be thc shroud and the burial ol such Ecenes ! DARLINGTON. / The Southerner says: A very large number of persons -both white and colored-assembled at the village on Monday last, in accordance to old custom, and it would seem by thc number who were drunk that they would have snved money and time If they had remained at home. Kcal estate did not sell as well on Monday as it did on sales-day previous, owing no doubt to the fuel that uiuney was getting scarce with some who wanted laud, while those who were able to purchase were shy. Barring tho noise occasioned by a few drunken people, the day which was very cold-passed off quietly. LANCASTER. The Ledger says: Tho following property was sold by the offi? cers of the court un youduy Jost: Estate of Wm. Fundeibunk, C35 acres for $550; W. A. Fundcrburk purchaser. Estate of Anna Mittag, 50 acres for $85; Dr. A. Craven purchaser. Es? tate of J. A. Slcwmun, house and lot in village for?) 500; Dr. J. Carter purchaser. HORRY. Thc News says: Sales-day has been one of more than un? usual interest to our people. Thc sales were well atteuded, though as usual, property went off at low prices, real estate averaging about 4o cents per acre. OCOKEB. Thc Courier says : The attendance upon sales-day-one of the "institutions" that 1ms escaped the ravages of time and Radical reconstruction-was large, disagreeable weather considered. The sheriff sold thc real estate of James Sanders, deceased, for good prices. As the day waned, "noise and confusion," supcrinducttd by imbibing too freely of a liquid known hereabouts as "tangle-foot," became only too apparent. Man, lt seems, is not only willing to suffer the Ills he has, but will fly to those he knows not of. BPARTANDCRO. The Gazcltc says : The following prices were realized for prop? erty sold un Monday last, at sheriff's sales: 3G acres uf laud, as property ot G. W. Reese, $G4; 100 acres of land, aa property of Isaac Hardy, deceased, $50; Ol acres ut lund, as property ot Calvin Sellars, S1G0; 2 3-lOth acres of land, as properly ol' ?. J.

The human stom? ach is to the human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chronometer, lt influences thc action of the other organs, and controls, to a certain extent, the whole living machine. The comparison may be carried further; for as th? weakness or other imperfections of the mam spring is indicated on the face of thc time-piece, so also is thc weakness or other disorder or the stomach betrayed by the face of the invalid. The complexion ls sallow dr faded, the eyes are defi? cient m lustre and Intelligence, and there is a worn, anxious expression m the whole counte? nance, which tells as plainly as written words, could do that thc great nourishing organ, whose; o ni cc lt is to minister to the wants of the body, and to sustain and renew all Its parts, is not per? forming Its duty.
