Tho Legislatura.
The Legislature, in accordance with tho
joint resolution previously adopted, ad?
journed yesterday at 3 o'clock P. M. The
adjournment will give them eleven days
~reccB8, as they meet under the new Consti?
tution on Saturday before the fourth Mon?
day of the present month.
before adjournment, they very properly
adopted the amendment to the Constitu?
tion of tho United Stat es - abolishing
slavery. The emancipation of slaves was
already an accomplished fact, and whether
or not we deemed it wiso or patriotic was not
the question at present. The restorat ion
of the Union, and the resumption of her
relations with the Federal Union, is the
ono great end to bo attained, and we are
gratified that no unnecessary obstacle to
ita accomplishment bas been placed in the
way ny tho Legislature.
This called session has been very harmo?
nious, and all tho measures necessary to
be passed upon, baye received the careful
attention of the members of both bouses.
They have worked faithfully and with an
eye single to the best interests of the State.
We wish them a safe return to their homos,
and wdl be glad to welcome thom again to
their duties at the regular session.
Hon. F. J. Mose*.
Tjn partift'g with tho Legislature untU its
meeting on thc 25th instant, wo cannot omit
a notice of tho above-named gentleman.
Since 1841, he has been a member of thc
Senate, and almost from the day of taking
.Iiis seat, bas been one of its brightest
'ornaments. His election to thc Presidency
inf that body has caused us, at this session,
'to miss his active, quick, intelligent
thought, shedding light on every measure
brought up for consideration. In the chair,
he has presided with dignity and courtesy,
and Iiis despatch of business and familiarity
of parliamentary rules, have attracted
much notice. Loug recognized in the front
rank of his profession, we trust soon to
seo his elevation to the bench-a position
bis merit entitles him to.
Death or Judge Withers.
Tho Sumter correspondent of thc Charles?
ton Courier announces the death of Hon.
T. J. Withers, at his residence in Camden,
on last Wednesday. The Courier says:
We have just received the sad intelli?
gence of tho decease of the Hon. T. J.
Withers, one of the Supreme Judges of
the State of South Carolina. One of the
brightest intellects of the Commonwealth
has tims passed from time to eternity.
Feeble as has been his health for some
period, it wa . hoped that he would yet bc
preserved for many years to the State and
country. Events have ordered otherwise.
His example and memory will vet remain.
As a member of tho bar. Mr. Withers,
both by his personal qualities and the fit?
ness for his profession, soon rose to dis?
tinction. Elected by the General Assembly
the Solictor for his Circuit, his reputa?
tion increased with the responsibilities of
his position. As a prosecuting officer he
had no superior. Impressed with a pro?
found sense of right and a keen abhor
rance of wrong, he administered the duties
of his office with fidelity to the State and
yet with perfect justico to the accused.
His solo object was tho ascertainment of
truth.
He was soon after transferred to the Law
Bench, and from thence to the Court of Ap?
peal?. In soical and private life, Judge
Withers was genial, kind and brilliant.
Politically, his whole heart and mind was
devoted to the interests and honor of the
State, and yet he was ever conservative in
bis views of her relations to the Federal
Government. As a jurist, he was eminent
and respected. He regarded toe law as
a great noble science, and when properly
administered, as one of tho foundations
and safeguards of society. Ho reverenced
his profession. His loss will bo severely
felt. His record is one of integrity, char?
acter and ability. One of our most dis?
tinguished citizens hus passed away in the
maturity of his years, but his many virtues
and talents yet survive to commend them?
selves to posterity.
DBEADFCX. OCCUKUENCE IN WISCONSIN.-A
terrible tragedy occurred on Wednesday,
the 31st ult., in the town of Caledonia,
Racine County. A Bohemian family,
named Stiteskey, consisting of an aged
couple, were at their eveni g ne al, when
au only son, about nineteen years of age,
of rather unsound mind, fired two shots
from a double barrelled gun, through the
window, fatally injuring both parents, and
then closed the fearful act by shooting
himself with an ?thor weapon. Thc mur?
derer and suicide expired instantly, but tho
parents were still alive at last accounts,
though no hopes were entertained ror their
recovery. The mother was shot through
the abdomen, by a bullet, which passed
completely through her; while the father
liad his left arm shattered near the elbow.
Both are some sixty years of age. A sur?
geon from Racine was called in. who
dressed the wounds of the victims.

To THE PIIESIOEXT or TUE StMTK: Hav?
ing been unsuccessful in my call for the
yeas and nays, upon tho second reading of
"A bill to establish and regulate the domes?
tic relations of Persons of Color, and to
amend the law in relation to Paupers, Va?
grancy and Bastardy," I felt it my duty to
givojioticc of intention to enter my protest
against the action of the ?Senate taken ?pon
the bill aforesaid, as the only means left
me of placing upon the record? of the Se?
nate, in permanent form, my opposition to
said bill.
I do not proposo to refer, in detail, to my
objections to this bill, embracing, as it
does, so many subjects, and running out
to the extraordinary length of ono hundred
and two sections, it will be quite sufficient
for my purpose, to refer, in a general way,
to some or the sections under the head
"Paupers," as embracing some of the most
objectionable provisions of the bill. By the
sections just referred to. a grand System
is established for the support of indigent
"persons of color," to be carried out, and
worked out, by the Magistrates of the se?
veral Districts of tho Slate, uuder the di?
rection and supervision of the District
Judge, and supported by funds raised, to a
groot extent, and, perhaps, entirely, from
white persons. And certainly constituting
a means of support for indigent persons of
color far beyond what is or ever has been
provided, in this State, for indigent white
persons, and imposing upon the citizens of
the several Districts of the State a burthen
of taxation, which, in their present condi?
tion, they aro not well able to bear.
I shall, at all times, where it is my duty
to act, be ready and willing to givo my sup?
port to measures which aro necessary and
requisite to secure to persons of color their
rights as "freedmen,' and even to provide
for thc indigent of that class such support
as mav be required by tho dictates of a
liberal charitv. But I never will consent
to give to such persons a preference under
the law to while persons. And believing
that the provisions of che bill hereinbefore
referred to docs give such preference, and
that it is otherwise very objectionable, I
desire most respectfully to offer this as my
protest against the passage of the samo.

Mr. Dozier offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, and ordered to be sent to
the House of Representatives for concur?
rence, that in order to prevent any doubt?
which may exist respecting tho action of

port: That inasmuch as tho Treasury was
entirely destitute of monoy, they applied to
the President of th? Bank of the State to
ascertain if he could furnish thc necessary
means. After consultation with the Presi

able to raise the funds required, or, at

for that purpose has failed, and that there

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON.-Th? Wash?
ington correspondent of the New York Ex- ,
press gives the following notice of G-onoral
Wade Hampton:
General Wade Hampton, who came so j
near being elected Governor of South j
Carolina, is a grand-son of Brigadier
General Wade Hampton, of tho Revolution
and war of 1812, and a son of the late
Colonel Wade Hampton, so well known
throughout tho Union to tho patrons of the
tmf.
Wade Hampton, the elder, was a native
of Prince George County, Md., in the vici?
nity of Washington, and of obscure paren?
tage. He entered tho Bcvolutionary army
as a wagon-master, and from that humble
position gradually rose to the rank of
Colonel. After the war, ho emigrated to
South Carolina, and became a planter, and,
on the acquisition of Louisiana, made such
investments in that territory, on the Mis?
sissippi, near New Orleans, as to render
him, on bia death in 1838, op? pf tho richest
men in the country.
On the breaking out of the rebellion, the
present Wade Hampton was regarded as
among the richest m*n at the South. He
was originally opposed to secession, frank?
ly confessed that bc saw nothing in it but
ruin to himself and his relativos; but when
tho war commenced, embarked in it with
all the impetuosity of an ardent nature,
and by his gallantry and skill as a cavalry
officer", soon attained the rank of Lieutcu
ant-Gencral. In person, bo is described as
one of the most strikingly elegant men of
the day, very tall, with classical features,
and a magnificent black board, altogether,
quite a cavalier of tho Bayard order.
His officers and men were devotedly at?
tached to him, not more for bis dauntless
courage in tho field than for those rare
qualities of head and heart for which ho is
equally distinguished. At the celebrated
conference between Gens. Sherman and
Johnston, in North Carolina, lam informed
that Wade Hampton, as he sat upon his I
horne, formed altogether tho moat noticea?
ble feature of thc occasion, and attracted
the unwearied admiration of Federal sol?
diers who wore present, to whom bc had
been previously unknown. As one of them
remarked afterwards, " Hampton looked as
if ho bad stepped, horse and all, out of a
canvass by Titian or Velasquez."
TUE MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION AT THE
WroMiNO HOTEL, NEW YORK.-The follow?
ing account is given, by an exchange, of
the strange incident that so startled tho
people of New York, last Sunday, and by
which a man, named Cornelius Stephens,
was fatally wounded and sonic twenty
others more or less injured:
A small box, containing some unknown
j fluid or other suie tance, was placed, some
two months since, by a guest of the Wyom?
ing Hotel, Greenwich street, in the office
of that establishment for safe keeping.
The box was a small one, two feet long by
about ten inches wide, and carefully fast?
ened. Tl.is guest's name was Theodore
Leers, who came to tho hotel on the 31st of
August hist, leaving the box in tho office
and taking thc remainder of his luggage,
which consisted of two trunks and a valise,
to the room allotted for bis use. Mr.
Leers remained at the Wyoming Hotel
until three weeks ago, when ho wont to
reside on Twenty-fifth street. The expresa
man came for his luggage, but failed to
take away tho box.
Upon Leers being arrested at his resi?
dence, the following facts were elicited:
Leers left Hamburg for this country, on
lx>ard the ship Donan, on the 21st of June
last. He roached here about the 28th of
August, and put up at the Wyoming Hotel
on tho 31st. While in Hamburg, an agent
of the house of Wilhelm Roe, of that city,
stated to lum that he could make some
money in the United States by the salo of
chemical oils, and asked him to bring some
specimens over with him. Leers acceded,
and tho box which caused such disastrous
results yesterday was sent on board the
Donan by an employco of the house of
Wilhelm Ree. This box, Leers asserts
emphatically, he has never opened, and
j know nothing of the contents further than
thc statements made in Hamburg that it
I contained chemical oils. The reason he
gives for not taking the box from the hotel
when ho left, is, that he forgot it. Ho dis
j claims all further knowledgo in regard
i thereto.
TUE EARTHQUAKE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
I The San Francisco papers furnish addi
! tional particulars of tho effects of the
I severe earthquake shocks experienced in
j that city on the 8th and 'Jth of last month.
I There were six distinct disturbances of the
! earth, the first five occurring during the
i afternoon and night of the 8th, at a litt!
before 1, and at 4, 7 and 10 o'clock, and tho
. sixth at half-past 10 in tho forenoon of the
I 9th. The water front of the city, compris
j ing tho main business streets, which are, to
I a considerable extent, located on made
ground, suffered the most, nearly all the
buildings here being to some extent shat
! tercd, and nome of them thrown down and
completely ruined. The back and high
part of the town, where all the best private
residences arc situated, suffered only in the
cracking of plastering and walls, breaking
of glass. Ac. In the South-western part of
the city the oscillations were so great that
extensive tissures were made in the earth.
I The same earthquake was felt with more or
less severity at various places throughout
the State of (?alifornia.
A significant announcement is made in
Washington despatches, to the effect that
the War Department bas ordered a stop to !
be put to the sales of all manner of army
transportation materiel. Though large
quantities ?>f this necessary adjunct of
military movements have already been dis- j
posed of since the termination of the war, i
there is still a considerable supply remain- :
ing in possession of tho Government, for
which it would appear General Grant and !
tho Secretary think we may have usc.

What Becomes of the Specie.
"We ure all aware that there has
been a constant flow of silver to the
countries of the East, but we never
hear of its returning This hus been
so ever since history began, und the
constant tide of metal that is ever
acting in that direction, and what
becomes of it . has puzzled more savana
than one.
The enormous absorption of silver
by the Eastern States of the world is
one of the most remarkable facts in
tho history of the precious metals.
From the earliest historic times, the
East hus taken little else but silver for
its commodities. In t .e time of
Pliny, the exportation of precious
metals from the West was set clown at
from $400,000 to 8500,000 a year.
The Romans had their chief entrepot
for thc East in thc Island of Tepro
bens, now called Ceylon; find they
carried on considerable commerce
with the Indians, Persians and Ethio?
pians. The shawls and stuffs of the
East found their way to Europe long
before the time of the Crusades. Tho
Arabs carried on a large and regular
trade in these and other Atlantic pro?
ductions, till the discovery of the Cape
of Good Hope diverted the course o
commerce. Thc establishment of thc
overland route has operated to some
extent in the other direction; but
however and by whom the trade has
boen carried on, the flow of silver has
been generally from the West toward
the East. Humboldt calculated that
in the year 1800, the amount of silver
sent Eastward annually was between
$25,000,000 and $30,000,000. Be?
tween 1830 and 1853, the large amount
of Sycie silver received from China,
and the export of great quantities of
English goods to India, disturbed the
flow of silver Eastward, which has,
however, since set in with more deter?
mination than ever. In 1854, the
balance in favor of the East was about
$30,000,000. The exportation of the
precious metals from Great Britain
alone, during the seven years ending
with 1858, was more than $35,000,000
per annum, of which all but one
eighth part was in silver. At the pre?
sent time, the balance of the imports
and exports of gold and silver in
favor of the East is calculated at
from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000 per
annum, or more than the total yield
of all the silver mines in the world.
The enormous production of gold in
Australia and California has hereto?
fore enabled the Western nations to
part with their silver without great
inconvenience, but the pjesent rate of
export of the latter seems to demand
some new arrangement, if any bo
practicable. Nearly all Orientals are
gives to hoarding. It is believed,
says M. Milburnie, the French econo?
mist, that the Egyptians hide away
nearly 820,000.000 annually. The
Emperors of Morocco hold it a point
of honor to fill as many chambers as
possible with gold and silver. The
present Emperor is said to have filled
seventeen, and to have another in
course of being tilled. Morocco never
parts with the money it receives; and
it is said, on the part of respectable
witnesses, that more than $350,000,
000 aro hoarded away in that country,
und that the Emperor's treasure is of
the value of at leas??$200,OOO,000.
