Jennings *t Newport. lu New York, the strunger must gu to a watering-place'to see a system j o? high prices flourishing i ti full glory. Here, for instance, at New- j port, where "all the world" of Ame- ' rica comes at this season of the year, j the unavoidable expanses are such that a rich man in England would feel some reluctance to pay them. In the hotel, for two rooms, decorated with furniture which must hare been brought by *che first settlers, and never mended since, the charge is $20 a day, (?4.) Supposing the guest makes himself content with a sort of closet., far away above earth, as a bed? room, he can get off for $5 ' ) His meals must be taken at tables inion to the w,bole company, and : ie is particular on the subject of cooKery, he will very soon starve. There are, no doubt, a variety of dishes, but as they all taste precisely alike through being cooked in the oven, probably it is immaterial which the guest may choose. Supposing that he takes a pint of cheap wine, (Claret or Rhine wine.) he will have to pay 8s. for it. There is nothing cheaper than this.to be had fit to touch. Should he wish to take a drive in the evening, his I bill will include an item of $8 (?1 ! 128.) for the vehicle-a trap not a ! whit superior to the "flys" to and j from railroad stations in provincial j towns. The servants must be fed ? heavily, or the guest may hew his own wood and draw his own water. Yek Newport is crowded, and there is manifestly a large sprinkling of that .class of persons who, in England, are accustomed to travel in third-class carriages, and put up at lodging houses in back streets. The better class of citizens have handsome villas here. The display of dress would as? tonish fashionable European inilli not's, (sometimes with good reason,) although a lady's wardrobe costs nearly money enough to buy a cot? tage and a piece of land. Men are not much better off, since a suit of clothes which no one could wear in London without ^feeling abashed, knowing he was outraging public propriety, costs here $100, (?20.) This, indeed, is the most disagreeable part of the expensive life here-you get nothing for your money. Bad food, indifferent wines, poor lodg? ings, cost more than the. best of every? thing would cost in England. Let any man go into a decent dining house in New York, (Delmonico's or the Maise? Doree,) and ho will not get a plain dinner for less than $5, (?1.) He might get a better one at a club in London, or even at a restau? rant, for 3s. or is. In point of fact, if the people are not all rich here, they ought to be, to enable them to . live properly. It is probable tlhit a far larger proportion of current in? come is expended here than in Europe, where saving habits prevail much more extensively than anywhere in America, except in New England. There the ground does not yield i ti? liches without labor and trouble, money is hardly earnt, and thc simph and frugal habits of the people have not undergone much changos sinci the pilgrim fathers laid the foundatior of the settlement. \New Y?rk Cor.

Sept 28 * To the Voter? of Orangckurg, Kdgc ileld, Abbeville, Newberry, Lexing? ton, Richland mid Fairfield. FELLOW-CITIZCWS: After much hesitation, I have consented to be put in nomination for your Representative in the Congress of the United States. I publish thia card, be? cause the District in so large and thc time before the election so short that J could not, if I desired, canvass tho District. If n canvass were possible, however, I do not I think it becoming or desirable, in my I juilg?uent, this is no time for a scramble for I office. It seems to me that no one proper j ly impressed with the solemnity of the j crisis, and the delicacy and importance of tho duties to be discharged, could seek the position merely for thc gratification of per? sonal ambition. For myself, I declare that I have no wish but to serve the State. In 178K, South Carolina, through a con? vention of her people, became one of thu United States. She remained ?member of the Union until December, 18C0, when, through another convention of her people, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced? ed from the United States, and with cer? tain other sister States enterod into a?other government known as thc Confederate Government. We behoved that we had the ri<?ht to secede and that? our security re? quired its exercise in co-operation with our Sont lu au sisters. South Carolina, in 1852, proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right of secession. It had long been tho settled opinion of the State that she was sovereign and ent itled to all thc rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in order to secure ber institutions and principles from great evils, believed to bo imminent. Se? cession was in the nature of a proceeding tjula Umct. It was conceived in thc spirit of self-preserration-not to injure others but to save ourselves. It cannot bc necessary to say that I am one of tho 'C who believe that it was an' honest effort for honorable purposes. The United States GoTorniueni denied tho right of secession and waged war upon the Confederate States, which stood upon the defensive. A terrible war of invasion and desolation followed, and tinnily th? Confederate States we're .over? whelmed hv force of numbers and dissolved. At the cud* of- the war the State of South Carolina found the Confederacy broken up, her cit Liens who survived the terrible, ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her institutions destroyed, and thc whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of the United States. .Under these painful cir? cumstance.-., the President of the United States invited the State '.tely composing the Confederacy to ro-oi auize their gov? ernments and restore th. . connection with tho Constitution ami Government of the United States, upon certain conditions, the principal of which was an acquiesencc in the abolition of slavery, which liad been accomplished by th( military authorities. Tl\e State, wisely in my judgment, respond? ed favorably t<? thc invitation. It is true that tile mere issne of battle does not provo right any more than did the old "wager of battle;'" bufe it does prove power which can? not bc disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of the people, which lias lately repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and by an article in the State Constitution, recognized the abolition of slavery and pro? hibited its re-establishment. Hy repeal? ing that of Secession, thc Ordinance of 17SS, through which South Carolina be? came a member of thc Union, was ipso facto revived, and we are this day in the Union precisely as we became in 1788 and remained up to ISt?O. ' We are now in avery anomalous position. Helving upon tho good faith and patriotic, intentions of the President of the United States, we have done all that was required of us to restore .our .oki relations to the Constitution and the Union; but still we have not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important part of the plan of reconstruction remains yet to be accomplished. It is understood that a party will oppose thc President's plan cf reorganizing the Statesand giving to them equality of rights, and will insist upon still farther despoiling and crushing the States of the South as conquered provinces. This radical fanatical party opposed our leaving the Union, andnovf tlicy oppose our return? ing to it. When we were in lie Union, they abused us on account of ?avery. They waged war -upon ns because wo tried to separate from them, and now that we pro? pose to return without slavery, they still object. In this emergency, tho State needs the assistance of all her true men. Much remains to be done, and not the least is tc secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist and forward the work of restoration which thc State has commenced. I arrogate not ti myself fitness to form part of such a rep rcscntation, bat friends liare urged me for? ward, and if you are willing fo try mo, ] will give my best efforts. In some respects, we are at the beginning of our policy, as ii wo were a new Stat? about to assume new relations with (?ii sister States; but we must never allow our? selves to forget thai in other respects wc are an old State-a State having antece? dents-a name to maintain and a history tc preserve Whatever may betide us in tin uncertain future, the past, at least, is se cure. South Carolina has never swervei from the path of honor, as she conceived it We have a record of ?which *nono need b< ashamed; and when any apostate son ? hers disclaims or disparages it, may slit cast him out as unworthy of her. Tin devotion ?f every?true son of the Stat* adheres in adversity as well as in pros porky- is loyal,through oril as well tn through good report ; and in the midst o the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh close; than a brother." . After the delegations from the Southon States shall have bren received into Con . gross, many delicate and impoi tant dutiei will devolve upon thom, especially in refer euee to the freedmen of tho South, and tin control which Congress, or a party in Con gross, may desire still to exercise ove: "them, lt may nol be improper, in thi: connection, to say (hat, whilst ? have ap proved the course ef the State in seokinj to restore herold relations with the Govern mont of the United States, ic has been upOl tho faith and expectation that tho State, ai V soon as reconstructed, is to have entir< control of the whole subject of her domes tic affairs. Tho Staff, and the State alone must bo left to decide to whom she wil give tho right of suffrage or otknr polities rights. A new code unir must be onactei to protect and govern the population latel; made free -to prevent idleness, vagrancy pauperism ami crime. J am not proph? enough to fondRce whether we can succeed but. I solemnly beliuv1.? it will Ix; impossibli to live in tho country at all unless the Stab has exclusive control of thc whole subject 1 have hope that this will ho permitted, an< I think it is in accordance with our into rests and true policy t<> sustain the Presi dent and tho Democratic party in fchei efforts to restore thr States to their posi tion of equality and to give them equa rights in the Government. With these views, if tho voter? of th District think that 1 can snrvo them or th State in this critical emergeucv, I will d my best for them; but I have'too high sense of my own incompetency and of th difficulties' and responsibilities of the pos tion, to solicit it by a personal canvass.
