R. B. Carp* i terread his opinion in the case of the Stute ex rel. Gilbert Pillsbury et al., rs. the Acting Mayor and Aldermen of tho city of Charles- ! ton. By the opinion, his Honor sustains the position taken by thc counsel for the j respondents, namely, that Mandamus will not lie against an officer de facto to compel him to surrender his office, and that the proper remedy would be by Quo Warranta. Some excitement was created in the ranks of the cosmopolitan louugers about the Court House, when tho nows reached them, but no serious demonstration that we could learn of, to^lr place. Judge Carpenter has ordered thc Mandamus to be quashed, and to-day the argument on the Quo Warranta will take place, which will involve the ques? tion as to the constitutionality of the Vali? dating Act.- Charleston Courier, 2bth. -o NORTHERNERS COMINO SOUTH.-The Au? gusta Chronicle and Sentinel says: . "On the steamer Charleston, which left New York Thursday for tho city of Charles? ton, wc learn by telegraph, was a largo number of Northern people coming to seek homes in Georgia, South Carolina and Flo? rida. Let them, and just as many more as will come. For Georgia, we tender them a cordial welcome, and feel assured that if I they come to this State they will have no cause to repent thoir choice. In any sec? tion that they may choose to locate, whether they come as emigrants to labor, oras inva? lids in search of health, they will find an abundance of fiuo land at fabulously low prices, and be received with that kindness , and hospitality for which thc Empire State of the South has been so long noted." To which we respond yea and umen. -o FASTIN MASSACHUSETTS.-The Governor of Massachusetts has ordered a fast. Well maybe do so.

March 13 BEEB ! fin HE Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report JL for the year 1805, speaks aa follows: ' Tlit i " can be no doubt of the general adulte? ration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish euch frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured beforo exposed to sale, tho practico is very common. How much more in this country, where there are no laws on the subject, and no officer tocarefully analyze the products of tho brewery? Some years ago, Pro fceaor Mapca, of Now York, analyzed tho beor from a dozen different breweries, and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the salo of drugs to brewers, is a profit? able part of thc trade. This is porfectly infamous. Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux v?mica, (dog button, from which strychnine is obtained,) are some of the delectable substances found in beert These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be drowned at once in one of his own vats. Tho British Parliament passed a law to prevent this nefarious business. The fol? lowing is an extract: 'No druggist, vendor of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beor, knowing them to bo such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of, or in trust for, any auch brewer, dealer, or re? tailer, any liquor called by the name of or sold for coloring, from whatev-. material the same may he made; or anv material or preparation other than unground Brown malt, for the darkening the color ot worts or beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, cocculus indicus, grains of para? dise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any article or prepa? ration to he nsed in worts or beer for or as a sub? stitute for malt or bops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such prepara? tion, Ac, shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and the person so offending shall forfeit jive hundred pounds.' "Dndor this law, very many druggists and brew? ers were brought to grief, and yet tho practice continues. Unless tho American publio are ready to admit tho immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they must'be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same timo guzzling some narcotic poi? son or damaging medicine. In view of tho unpre? cedented growth of tho barley crop; of the great increase of the number of maltsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beor that aro druuk in every city and almost every town on the continent; it is the dictate of sound wisdom, that thc attention of legislators should be called to the snbject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should be inflicted as a pre? ventive."
