February 27. .? Owing to the.fatigue Incurred in attending the Randolph monumental ceremonies, at Elm wood Cemetery, the members of the General As? sembly'irenenotln proper spirit to enter upon the legislative duties, and, consequently, at 5 o'clock P. M., the hour appointed for the Senate's session, a quorum not being present, that body adjourned until to-morrow. THE HOUSE met at 7 o'clock, a-a after sundry unimportant committee reports, relative to roads, bridges and ferries, took, np the Honse bill to regulate the manner of drawing jurors, which had passed through the Senate and had been returned to the House amended. Whipper objected to the Senate amendment constituting, the county treasurers, auditors and chairmen of county commissions of their respective counties, a board, of Jury com? missioners, and taking the appointing power out'| of the hands of ihe uovernor. (as the House had agreed upon.) On mo lon, the amendment was rejected. The next st r klug point was the Senate amendment leaving it at the dlscre lon of a Junge how long a jory, wnlch fails to agree, should be kept, whipper held that a despotic judge would thereby be at liberty to Keep a jury loosed up Ust a mouth. This point r/as also rejected, aud wont thereof sent to the Senate. ' .The.nextin order was the Senate bl ito char? ter the South Caiollua Phosphite and Phosphatic River Mining Company, lu the State of South Carolina, and to graut to the persons MIL-rein named, and their a-sociate-, the right to dig and mine in the beds of the navigable streams and waters of the State of South Carolina for phos? phate rocks and phosphatic deposits.

On motion of Whipper, the consideration .of theblll was made the special order for December 22, i sri. f G arlin then moved to adjourn. On this the ayes and nays were called, and the mot.on was lost. A LIVELY SCENE then ensued as to what should bc brought up next. Lee. of Edgeseld, temporarily occupied the chair, and had his handB full with motions, points J of order and privileged questions, which were mul? tiplied upon one another in a remarble short space of i i me. Ihe course he adopted was probably the best, in keening a stubborn silence until the tu? mult had somewhat subsided, and the speaker about that time returning to his chan*, COMMITTEE REPORTS were called for. The committee on engrossed bids reported correctly engross*! a bili to rand the nu?a bona claims of ehi riffs and ex-tax col-', leeton; a bill authorizing and empowering James C. Rundlett to establish a wharf In the Town of Beaufort; a Senate blB to require the county com? missioners to report to the General Assembly; also a bul to grant, renew and amend the char? ters of certain towns and villages therein men? tioned.

[From the Barnwell Sentinel.] This, the oldest railroad company on the continent, has Jusr closed Us annual meeting. We have read The reports of all thc erasers and the proceedings of the meetlm; with pleasure, and congratulate the corporation on the rionrMilug state of Its affairs. When we consider the condi? tion of the rdad at the close of the war. entirely torn np and all the depots and Btatlouhonses bnrned from Aognsta and Columbia to branch? vue; the workshops In Columbia in ashes; thc engines, passenger coaches and- cars In a dilapi? dated condition, many or them unfit for use, and all o' t.n ear need mg repair; the country along the line devastated, and the people sunk in th? very depths of poverty, and compare the present state, of .eiQcleuoy with that condition of apparent wreck and ruin, It ls wonderful how the company haireenreratxt, and lt ls tue highest ealogiuiit that can be p.iid to the mamutemeat. The re election of the present able officers is a just tribute to their skill, efficiency and Integrity. . Ail corporations of- this character have to b^ar. more or less, much complaint and fault-finding, and the South Carolina Rii.ro. d has hud ns full share; but the direction have exhibited great firmness, wUe encoaomy. prudent expend tire." and restored Ute road not only to its present effleieucy, but resumed thepaymeut of dividends, by llroily oarryiug out a policy, the result. of which shows that it was the ver? best forth general interest of the stockholders. With thu connections now opeu to the Weit and South? western Georgbw-and the steam lines to the North an ) Europe in successful operation, there ts every reaaon to?eli.-ve the business and income orme road will be largely increased. We ???cerely hope theseanilcipatlons m^y be realized, am) ilia! ut the next meeting ol the stocknolders their divi? dends will be greater, aud the value of the stock much higher. We see a feeble attempt was made to organize an. opposition to PresldentMagrat:.-, b?ritssignai ra l ?re ls the best evidence or the high estimation which the corporators place upon the services, loyalty, aud integrity of that gentleman. Wlieu we hive heard complaints made by critics or the road at tne hisrh salaries puid to the president and vice-president, aud ;hat the two officers were unnecessary, lt affrays occurred to u--, what busi? ness of ours is RT lias no: ever? man and ev. ry cuinpauy thc right to manage his > r Its affairs In that- way which seems best to then: > And ir they are satisfied why shout i ?inybulyi-2.se complain? The salaries paid to President Magrath and Vice president Tyler may appear large to those who have nothing to do with the comp.iny, but ir the owners of the property are satisfied, whose busi? ness ls lt? Thc very best proor of that sa-lsflac tioh is the improved condition, ol Alie affairs' or the company, and the unanimity displayed in the re el ellon of these officers. If one were to say, Mr. Trenholm. you pay your bookkeeper too high a salary, ills reply would likely be, slr, i am the nest judge or wnat the services Q* my bookkeeper are worth to me. If one wera .to wa k into the bank parlor of the PeopteVBank and complain that the salary of the cashier is too high, be would likely be asked to mind his own business. Hut every bu-y-body. thiuKs he lias the right to discuss tho compensation of Presitleut Magrath and Woe-President Tyler, the corpora? tors themselves being perfectly satisfied that their services are not. too inghk valued. And when we reflect that not enly all the time ol tu se officers is employed, but that'ft requires a high order or administrative talent and a long training to tit them for their arduous duies, to say nothing or their exposure on the line or road, and frequent ab? sences irom then" homes and families, It will be or should be readily admitted th it they are not ex? travagantly paid. An eminent lawyer readily commands a fee or live hun ired or a thousand dollars, when a young lawyer is satisfied to go into the case for a fee or fifty or a hundred dol? lars. Why? Experlenco and ablli'v must be paid ror. We congra'ulate the company on its success, and hope lt will continue- to increase its prosper? ity. To barnwell Couuty. especially, it ls or great vaiue, and we truBt our people will lend all thc aid and encouragement lu their power to the hue ce3srui development ol the great enterprise. We respectfully tsugirest to President Magrath and Vice-Presid^nt Tyla- to turn their attention to our little branch road from Blackville to Barn? well. _ -Rear Admiral Smith has received orders rrom the Navy Department to immediately flt lor 6ea another relie<' vtsseU to be placed ai the disposal of the Chamber of Comme! ce of New York, to convey provisions to France. vjE viens: THE HUMILIATION OF FAEIS TO EE CONSUMMATED TO-DAT.

PARIS, February 27. An official notice, signed by 1?. Picard, con? firas the signature ol the preliminaries ol peace, and announces that the armistice Is prolonged lour days. -Contributions and requisitions are to cease. The entrance of the Germans into Paris iras the price paid to save Belfort. The Germans will enter Paris on Wednesday, and evacuate the city Immediately upon the ratification or peace. The Parisian army will oc? cupy the left bank-of the Seine. No French in uniform are to be allowed to enter the German portion ofthe city, which win be surrounded by banicades. There was much patriotic agitation on Sunday night, in consequence or a report of the Immediate entry of the Germans, and the guard erected ramparts la the Champs Elysees to repel the enemy. There was, however, no dis? turbance. At midnight on Sunday quiet was restored, but on Monday morning the city was again agitated. Crowd3 surrounded a notice signed by Picard, and which was placarded at various pam of the city, ap? pealing for preservation or order and dignity. The crowd.also invaded the prison or St. P?lagie, and freed two commandants of the guard. All thc papers, even-the ultra Radical, recommend non-resistance to the entry of the Germans. All papers will abstain from publica: l JU during the occupation. It is believed there win be no con? flict. The Patrie says tho question or the entry or the German army into Paris occupied tue ne? gotiators ten times longer than those or territorial cession and Indemnity. Many citizens have pnr cha<ed-a week's provisions to avoid appearing In ' the streets during the German occupation. D?r? ing the occupation or the city, unarmed Prussians will be permitted to visit public edifices, buta corps or thirty thousand troops will not beal .lowed to leave the f-'aubonrg Honor. PAIU9. February 28. The armistice is conditionally extended to the 12th of March; meantime, three days' notice are required or the resumption of hostilities. The consultative commission goes to Bordeaux on Tuesday, and the debate upon the question of the ratification of the treaty-of peacs will commence immediately. During the three years allowed for the payment of indemnity, fifty thousand Prussian troops will occupy Compelgne, living at the expense ofthe French people. Pony er (?uertler is appointed minister of finance. It is said that Aurelles de Pa'lad ices ls named as commander ol the National Guard or the Seine. . LONDON. February 23. The conclusion of peace ls now certain. Thiers, Favre and the consultative commission have ac? cepted the following conditions : First, the ces sion of Alsace aud Metz, but Belfort to be restored to France. Second, the payment or a war indem nlty of five milliards of francs. Third, a portion or French territory, with some fortified town like Sedan, to remain in the possession of the Ger? mans until the conditions or the treaty are ful? filled. Fourth, the German army to enter Paris ou Monday and .occupy ? the Champs Ely-cen. Firth, peace to be proclaimed when the French Assembly ratify these conditions. M. Thiers and thc delegation return to Bordeaux to-day. Bis? marck has been pitiless throughout the negotia? tions. The Rappel says Thiers and the commis? sioners of thc Assembly will probably go to Bor? deaux on Sunday to submit the conditions agreed upon to the Assembly. It is hoped they will be immediately adopted, and that a further prolon? gation of the armistice will be unnecessary. Theirs was at Versailles all day to-day. The evening edition of the Times has the fol? lowing' additional particulars of the treaty: The fortified cities of Laneville, Nancy and Belfort are left to France. Langtry, Thlonvi!ler Metz, SaarbrucK and the iron districts go to Germany. The Dally Telegraph has a special dispatch from Amiens saying that much uneasiness prevails there in cons?quence of a "report that Englaad has interfered in regard to Metz, declaring that that fortress should not be cyded ta the Germans. The representatives of England at Versailles are Instructed not to accompany the Prussians *j through Paris. The government declines any further answer to the question what measure* they had taken to mitigate Prussian exactions from France. the Versailles Moniteur of Friday states that C02 Hell pieces, belonging to thc army of fans, have been delivered to the Germans, and. HST' cannon, lu good condition, were found In the Torts. The same paper denounces the arrogance or the Parisian press lu insulting tlie victorious Germans, and calumniating theil officers by ac? cusations of pillage and robbery. It significantly declares that the occupation or Paris' would he the most efneacious means of stopping such bound le's effrontery, falsehood and rhodomontade, and the entry of thc troops ls, therefore, Inevitable as soon as the armistice expires. REBLIN, February 27i News of the conclusion or peace ha3 occasioned immense excitement in this city.

THE GREAT CARNIVAL. A y OT EL AX2> A JOZLT FESTIVITY IX THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. What the Northern Paper? Say of the Affair-Pennsylvania Avenue as a Corso-The Mammoth Masquerade^ The Grand. Illumination-The Corro? ?an Ball-Closing Scenes. The New York papers have not yet done priming their accounts of and comments upon the grand Carnival which interrupted the usual cur rent ot life In the National Capital on the Monda? and Tuesday of last week, Immediately preced lug the opening of Lent. This celebration, so novel, unique and extraordinary in character deserves a more extended notice than wo have yet been able to give it, and we make room for som? copious and Interesting, extracts from the best accounts which have appeared in the North ern press : The Carnival-The American Corto. [Correspondence of the New York Tribune.] WASHINGTON, February 22. On the whole, we consider our Carnival a thing worth repeating another year, for lt certainly has been a victory over croakers, a success as a merry-making, and. whatever it may have been viewed as in the light of Roman or Yenetlan festi? vals, a rarewell to flesh alter our own rashlon. If the tlrst day was a little slow, lt was because we are a sober people, and lt takes all of one dav to warm us up to gayety on the nexr, and the vCav was so wide that the run ran great risk of effervescing altogether before reaching the curb? stone; but the second day made ample amend. The first day, though, was quire as remarkable for tts sights onUld-i of the Carnival proper as for anything ou the wooden pavemeot, among others the faces or the people being good to study, ail gravo a9 Judges, all deciding whether lt were wise to be amused or not, ail or Individuals well dressed, well-behaved, feeling themselves re? sponsible for the respectability of the nation, uof, evincing the least enthusiasm at anything, paying but little heed to the civic proces? sion when lt wouud its glittering length down from th- great (rates of the White Cot. the sun sbliklug on the flower-bedecked engines, on the scarlet uniforms, on the brass Instruments of the boy-band that blew out as good music as an? on thesiroet, on the dars body or well mounted aud burly butchers, whlie-aproned, their cleavers on their shoulders, without the bir.nj gras, to be bc sure, but probably carrying the fatted calf in their rauks, for ail that; not applauding aud nut deriding the Insignificant racing; preserving a dead silence or decorum when a New York team, ia all its magnificence of tandera, long white rib? bons and gihied martingale enalns, the trained horses, each llght-hoeled as a dancing lady, pranced down the Hats alone, never greeting the President with a single cheer when presently he followed, inconspicuously reclining among his carriage-cushions. "Mat New York team breaks Grant's heart," an ol-! Copparuead erteil; "he is -.kinking how much better ivis, by George,* to bc ft privat-citizen in New Yera than a President In Washington." Indeed, the snell or gravity was unbroken by anything save some forlorn Utils enr trotting bewilderedly in .?ejrch of a master, and suddenly maddened by a pack of pursuing hoots and cries, until at last the pleas areridiug opened, and in on the clean-swept, elistlc flour, where twenty teams can go abreast, rolled i he multitude or private carriages carrylnar ihelr gay occupants to view the decorations that, beyoud the deuse wall ot human beings Uniug the?avenue a dozen deep, made the great thor? oughfare on either side as gay as any gigantic flower-garden, with flags and streamers, any! de vic-, s, and roofs, and windows, and grand-stands, crowded full of lookers-on, who were laughing, and nodding, and waving their handkerchief, the air all nt once ringing with merriment and heavy with dust in a bhizlog sun, till the gun fired and the track was cleared again, and rhe spans and fonr-lu-riands, aud Sean Hickman on his nag, Aim tho little mule-mounted darkies who had lost their hats but citing to their cigars, all, as suddenly. a9 if they had sprung ont of the ground, disappeared Into lt, lt was pretty, after that, to see the way In which ihe mob began to enter Into the spirit or the ching, aud how when the foat racers came along in their white tights and jerseys, giviug'the m re poetical sightseers hint of thc old Olympic con? tests-they, squad alter squad, crying out en? couragement, joined In and run nioner behind till the next squad relieved them, and all the length of Hie avenue, with Hs rtin'jej-gj was like one enor? mous gyroscope. Just the same interest "Was taken lu the sack rac. sand tne blindfold barrow races, and the amusing goat races, too. where the balky little beasts wouldn't start, and w.ien they were ahead would take a fa:.cy to cross thc road and let the next one pass them, and wjien they were Just on the p int of winning would stop deliberately and look tantalizingly back at their desperate little envers, who saw disgrace anout tu cover them and the coveted prize of the goat wagon trundling out of reach. Thc Grund Tournament. Never was a better-natured crowd seen, made up of every nationality and heterogeneous eic I ment as lt wa-?, and displaying neither drunken? ness nor ribaldry nor profanity nor Insubordina Hon, so that lt was not till the hour of the tourna? ment, on the second day, that the police had any difficulty in Rasping back.the crowd of a hundred thousand that wanted to Ue present where there was room for only a fourth of the Bomber. And being carnival time and the proper season for all handsome aud fanta'Mc sport, this tournament was a night worth straggling for-thc noble horse-, the brilliant knights, and the fearless riding, where "lust of glory prlckeJ their heans up," and lurseand master seemed to be animated by a slugle will, and where one black-plnmed und velveted rider of a black horse, powerful aud rull of fire, threw his lance as any young centaur might haye done, while the President surveyed the tilting from his balcony at the Sr. James, and all the dignitaries or the Cabinet Joined In thc applause, and at night the yueen or Beauty was crowned Beiore a jury of her peers-for, of all.places In the world, the District excels, as we are ready to maintain at the point of the spear, in the multi? tude of Irs lovely faces ! The report of a gan an nounces the opening of the tournament. Three scaffolds nave been erected at equal distances apart, and dangling nom each ls a ring sus? pended from a cord. The avenue between the scaffolds ls thickly covered with sawdust. Thirty f air contestants have entered themselves on fhe roll ol honor, und intend cuuipciug for thc prize. Success depends upan laking the rings ou the point nf the lance while the horse is flying like the wings of the wind. Never since the rays o? the Black Knight lu Ivanhoe has a victory been s-> gallantly won. It ls true the men who entered the lists were largely composed of what usc I to be called "Mosby's men;" ont this has nothing to do with the day's sport, lt la enough to make thc blood ungle io see these fellows in doublet, hose and heron feather, riding as no other men In the country can, mounted on their slim long horses with bony heads and huge eyes. As they madly dash over the tourna ment ground horse and rider seem oue. Think as we Will, there is an air of chivalry and dignity that surrounds these haughty Virginians and Mu rv landers, and they look every Inch itko real knight*! of tho tourney called out of the dust of the fl?teenili century. lu thc evening these knights will have a small quiet ail ur at Marlnl's, and crown a prettly little belie of the late Lost* Cause. Thev disturb nobody, mind their own business, and drink their own thin wine. What 1 let Secesii come lo thecapltal? Aye, the proud? est feature or the Carnival, thc one above all others for walch tue cornall tee of arrangements should be tuan ked, is for brluging us all together ami making us forget for the lime our bitter past. We don't expect, to clasp hands lu eiernal frater? nal embrace. We did not ask them to our bail; and they neglected to seud a card of invitation to theirs? but we have all eaten salt at the national fireside, and laughed and sorrowed at the Car? nival. The Masquerade. But. the good nature of the crowd showed to the best a i vantage when thc long-expected masque? rade defiled down the way, tho Lord or Misrule leading his sprites and unrolling his pageant be? hind nun till it doubled back and held both sides of the avenue willi Hs beauty, its speudor, and Its grotesqueness, willi Comus and his crew, wita Mother Goose and all her followers, with hosts of historical personages keeping up their characters and stiff with gorgeousness, princes, poten tates, priests aud highwaymen, with burlesques of the powers that be and of the future feminine reign of re??ale drum corps and brass-banda and fire en? gine companies-whose engines were enormous te.ipots-*nll of them under their scanty skirts plnlulv wearuig the stronger garments. Here a police "posse of bovs, blue-coated and belted, and bearing gigantic stuffed clubs, headed by a real policeman of vast bulk and girth, beat back th - line along the sidewalks with their batons; here Jack r'rost, a mass of icicles and Bnow, sleighed softly after a gardener who. with his basket of garden-sarse on his head, kept a clear space rr?.iud himself by the vigorous me nf his watering poi , into which space, the minute he commenced quito as vigorous aud breathless a raking of his weeds, a gang of nancers and fid? dlers swept, sowing their wild oats; here a huge and hairy ourang-ourang left the procession and climbed a tree by Hie wayside, to tne shrk-king terror of the urchins who had lodged themselves In the branches; here a decent citizen, rashly en? deavoring to cro-s the street, was caught for lair game lo a maelstrom of petticoats, and broom? sticks, ?md monstrosities; the miller dusted him, the gardener sprinkled him, the otirang-ourung played leap frog over him, the giraffe waltzed with him, his hat went up for a foot ball, and he was glad enough to escape the tassel In any shape-, here a policeman was caught by the motley raff and handled much after the same fashion ; here a verdant little dar? key was enticed to rob the United States I rreasury a*??<> weuu ?IUU^, HU? noa ~. ?"v rrcen backed .devils there, with their flaming toms, as those whs do rob the same are not; 1?re hurdy-gurdy men gronod their music, while iieir tambourine girls tossed coppers Into the :rowd and paid them for likening; here a strap ?Ing'damsel stepped op to the sidewalk, and gave ?eneral Logan a hug, which he took In good part; ind here the whole procession halted, the flies md bagpipes began to blow, and cotillions and edowas, and reels and galops, were cireeriug ike mad as far up and down the avenue as one ould 9ee. while clowns, going the wrong way on heir mules driven by ears or tail, took the op* mrtumty to right themselves by terrible somer laults, aud bandits on fast horses flarrednp and town and everywhere, like streaks of light. TU? Illumination*. ' At night were the great balls, miracles among lolls. Tour of them In all, and the illuminations. Pennsylvania avenue resembled an endless hall Htrposely built and ornamented for the genii, rho old-fashioned stars tried to shine, put they rere immediately cast hi the shade by myriads if modern chinese lan terns. The miserable moon ir tempted to show her face, bot the calcjam Iftht9 taught her R lesson not pnt down lithe ?alendar.

Iyer every building for thc whole length of-t'.ie ivenue crept the little partl-colored flames rom base to roof, pillars were twined with lamps, Urdes of a hundred lights topped the telegraph toles, bonfires blazed at the intersections of the treets, Chinese lanterns were strung along the Idewalk mile for mile, shining transparencies rent up and down the. carriage-way, the mask irs mingled gay ly with the throngs or gazers md, Anally, the fireworks crackled and blazed ip, scuding colored flasues skimming over the leautjfol facade of the Treasury, that now, In a ?re n glimmer, where the great shadows reveal d bur fragments of lt, rose like the ghost of a laalbec ruin, now had a red light glancing on lt, s ir from some Arab camp-fire, and now, with all ts perfect symmetry, stood out in a.whlto glory : -?idle a yoong moon, holding the rta of the old soon In her arms, went down so gradually In the rest, that nobody remembered she was a week too arly, and Greek-fires rolled out their smoke, and trango devices sparkled and sputtered, and rock ts and bursting bombs shook down their colored howers and went ont, and lett the calm and ternel iBr?works overhead, and the great gun corned ont the beginning of Lent. The Corcoran Ball. But the Corcoran bal), at the Art Building, has xcelled anything or the same kind which has ver taknopiace at the giddy capital. The bulld? og is just as exquisitely appropriate for a superb jstive Jile as a palace in tue Old World. All that Icturee, flags, drapery, birds, and flowers could 0 tor the rooms has been done according to the lost approved style of American art. The grand fairway that leads to the dAoolng-room is cor? red with crimson cloth, and fragautly < rnaraent d with the greatest profusion of tropical luxu laoce. At the right of the foot of the stairs re oses In its earthy bed a great sleepy Egyptian alla, Its broad, creamy flowers and waxen leaves uggestlve or the'apex or voluptuous civilization. 1 an anteroom, a short distance from the ' all room, may be seen the gentlemen whose uty lt ts to receive the guests. At the head of ie delegation stands Mr. Corcoran, one of the tte great national bankers, of European as ell as American fame. Mr. Corcoran ls one f the few succulent, well-preserved leaves ?eft uttering on the tree of an older generation. Ile as a remarkably fine presence, and "receives" lib the distinguished courtliness of manner of a panlah grandee. The reception committee of ie ball performed their trying duties ina inan? er beyond comment or praise. Time cannot be pared to describe tho hundreds or costly and lab?rate toilets, or thc fine reatares and torms or ur countrywomen. On a raised dals In the ban? jora might have been seen the President and all ie other prominent notables uf the capital, wi:h ie exception or Bean Hicitman. Wie supper was u ambrosial leant, reflecting artistic credit on lose who prepared it. We may have better de? lga at Ute capital, but a better ball never. The vening'.? entertainment came to an end at the rowlug or the cock In the morning. jg The Crowd. ThcvUltors are a very superior class QI people, nd Tftueyearry away favorable Impressions of ic city, tile Carnival will have done a real sub run tia) service to Washington In bringing Diem ither. It ls wur.hy of the highest praise that ie whole adair was the voluntary work of eitl? en?, and tho whole expense, amounting to up rards of $40.000, has beeu defrayed by private abscrlpilons. Another fact worth noticing is dat much of this money lias been paid to poor tourers who have not had a day's work before lits winter, and would nut now but for the em loyraent made necessary in preparation for the estival.

APPEARANCE-AND CHARACTER OF T?8HTKOTOK.-AS the anniversary of George Vashlngton has been lately-celebrated, our read? ers will bc interested In the following sketch or ils personal appearance, which the Sew York lan copies from a letter written In New York in ITS, a-.d published in thc Keutisn Gazette, an Sngilsh paper : General Washington ls now In tba forty seventh ear of lils agc; he ls a tall, well-made mun, ruttier arge-boned, and has a tolerable genteel address; lis reatares ure mnnlv and bold, lils eyes or a ilulsh cast, and very lively. Iris hair a deep brown, tis frc? rather lung and marked with the ania ) >ox, his complexion sunburn: and without much ?olor, and his countenance sensible, composed, md throiightful. There is a remarkable air of llgnlty about him, with a striking degree of ;i awfulness: he has an excellent understanding, without much quickness, ls strictly just, vigilant, mil generous, an affectionate husband, a faithful, riend, a father to the deserving soldier, a gentle nan in bis manners, in temper rather reserved} i total stranger to religious prejudices, which nive so often excited Christians of one denomina? tion to cut the throats of those of another; tn bis morals irreproachable; he was never known to exceed the bounds of the most rigid temperance. In a word, all his friends and acquaintances allow I hat no man ever united in his own person a more perrect alliance or the virtues of a philosopher with the talentB or a general. DANIEL WEBSTER'S OPINION OF BEN. BUT? LER.-For several years Butler was a blaring Democrat. He was a delegate to all national conventions, and made himself conspicuous by bis servile devotion to the slaveholdlng interest. At tlte trial or Dr. Webster, Butler attracted some notice, and a gentleman who Ind met him In con? versation and takeu a strong ? aversion to bim, asked Daniel Webster ir he knew the man Butler, and whit there was or him. "I have seen him, g|r," was the reply. "He ls what we call b sharp practitioner. A per. pushing lawyer, superficially educated, with the impudence ol the devil, and a conscience to match." "Such a man might be dangerous, ls he likely to attain a position in which he can do much mischief?" "No, sir-no danger of that. He is certain to be Hung before he reaches a position of that kind."-Albany Argus. -The evidence given in the impeachment trial of Governor Holden, of North Carolina, indicated an enormity of cruelty which is a diugra e to civilization. The tying, manacling, knocking down, shooting at, imprisoning, hauging by the netk, pulling up and palling down, amt then pulling up a.' '?n, the faluting of thc victims, give to this trial the air and Interest of the deepest tragedy. One Lucien M. Murray testifies to hav? ing suffered this sort of treatment, indicted by Bergen, who said, as testified to by all the wit? nesses, that he was acting nuder the orders of Governor Holden. William Patton testified to having been hung up by the neck. A pistol was put to his head and threats made to s':oot bim if he did not tell who killed Outlaw. He was brought to Raleigh, and made a confession that he might pe relieved. George Rogers, a young man, was next called. He testified that he was hung up three several times by the neck.. Trie above faces are gathered from the testimony of two days' proceedings. New Methodist Church Blown Down Other Property Destroyed-.BrulncN, Planting, (bc.-Railroad Shop?. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, j FLO&EMCB, S. C., February 27. Oar town was visited last night by a severe storm of wind, followed by a considerable fall o? water. The new Methodist Church was Mown down. This was a handsome edifice In progr?s of construction, to which the zeal of onr Metho? dist friends has been fer some time devoted, and which they would soon have completed, despite the scarcity of money. The community ?et only feel this as a public m Infortune, but they keenly sympathise with those more intimately identified with this commendable undertaking: Bot even while contemplating this disaster, coupled with the red need condition of onr people, we can bat feel that the indomitable ' Christian zeal and ;energy of onr Methodist friends wUl yet rear a ! house of worship upon -tb? spot, where now their church Mes ia ruins. Several small buildings ' were unroofed, and? great- deal-of fencing was blown down. - . Onr community ls quiet, and-business very dull. The planters a?e'bwliy preparing" for another crop. Most pf them seem now convinced that three millions of bales of cotton wul yield as mach money as five millions, and that {be labor expended tn nutting the unprofitable surplus o? two millions would be better expended in mak? ing . more provisions, thus by ^decreasing their demands, enabling them to com? mand more money. Whether they wlB act upon thia remains to be seen. We have had some robberies and incendiary, fires In our vicinity, as in other parts er the State. A too free use of cheap and poisonous liquor has much to do with all oar trouble!, In the opinion of the most observant. . The Northeastern Railroad shops are the main centre of life and activity, at present, of onr town. From the machine shops, under Captain Dan']. W. Haines, master-machinist, are sent ont the hand? some engines; and from the car shops, under Captain A. M. Corrie, ma9ter-carpenter, come, some of the handsome coaches which run between Charleston and this place. I saw the other day a * new flrst-cla-s Coach, built at th? car shops here, which, when the cost is considered, sarpasses'the expensive coaches now rnnnlng between Wil? mington and Charleston.
