Friday Morning, november 26,1839. Secretar jr Boat well's Prog n amine for m Xt?st?m to Specie Payment. A speoial despatch to tho New York World, dated Washington, November 20, says: From semi-official sources, I have as? certained that, alter somo consultation with .leading,New York bankors and also with Western financiers, Secretary Bout well has deoided to submit at an early day-probably In his annual report-tho following programme for o return to spe cie poyments to the consideration of Congress: 1.' Tho national bauka to redeem their notes for greenbacks by July 1, 1870. 2. The.Government to redeem its greenbacks in gold after January 1, 3. Free banking for all parties upou bonds bearing interest at four per cent, in gold. 4. This point is not quite settled. There is some division in regard to the question whether the banks shall be per? mitted to insuo notes as DOW, or whether the United States shall take charge of all circulation by the issae of greenbacks on a plan somewhat similar to that of the Bank of England. It is, however, un? derstood that no greenbacks of a smaller denomination than five or ten dollars, will be issued. The free banking clause of this pro? gramme, which finds great favor among I those who have beon permitted to seo it, was inserted to satisfy tho Western States, where the greatest obstacles to a resumption of speoio payments now exist. ?-???-? THB IMPRESSION ABROAD.-With re? spect to Gov. Scott's recent proclama? tion in relation to affairs in Sumter, the New York .Repu&Jic says: ..What is this reference of Gov. Scott to the possibility of a resort to 'tho same summary process,' other than an encou? ragement to retaliatory and vindictive measures in the administration of govern? ment in that Stole? We declare unhesi? tatingly that this ia an outrage against saoiety, even surpassing tho deeds of which the Governor professes such ab? horrence." I.} - M The Republic ia au iujependent jour? nal, published in - New York, and oue of acknowledged ability and fairness. JUST SO.-Some irate "Uniou soldier" having raised a disturbance over some of Mosbyfs exploits, the gallant partisan defends himself, and then adds: "I think it high time for a people who glory. in 'Sherman's march from the mountains to the sea,' in which he made a desert of the country that lay in his track-who received with huzzas Sheri? dan's triomphant despatch 'that he had burned 3,000 barns and mills, and made the Valley of Virginia so desolate that a crow could not fly over it without carry? ing his rations'-to oeaso objecting that anybody did not observe the rules of mi? tigated wart" IMPORTANT CASE.-A case of much im? portance was before tho Supreme Court of tho United States, on the 22il. The title of tho case is Hickman against Betta and others, on error from the United States District Court, Northern District of Alabama. Hickman sued de? fendants for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. lu 1803, pending the war, Hickman was indicted in court sitting under Confed?rate authority, for treason against the Confederate Govern? ment. Upou this charge, be was arrested and confined'in prison from January to May in that year, and on his trial and acquittal, was discharged. He was sub? jected to heavy, expense by the employ? ment of counsel and other causes, and his snit is to recover that amount and damages for his imprisonment. Some of .the d?fendants had acted as grand jurors in the Canfederate court, und in that character found tho indict? ment, and other defendants, under the samo authority, made tho arrest. They defended themselves upon two grounds: First, that the court was a leg .1 oue, be? cause established by a Government de facto. Secondly, because tho plaintiff, as they alleged, had participated in the rebellion. Tho court below overruled the first ground, and ruled upon the se? cond that, if the jury found that the plaintiff was not, during the entiro re? bellion, loyal to the United States, he eould not recover, and tho jury found a verdict for defendants ns to the loyalty Wo the United States of the plaintiff. There waa conflicting evidence, and there was evidence from which, it was said in argument, tho jury might have found that, although the plaintiff was at first disloyal to the United States, he in good faith returned to hi3 loyalty and continued so until the close of the rebellion, and tbat this was his condi? tion when he was indicted and arrested. The case was argued by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, for the plaintiff in error, and submitted on brief. Richard W. Wal? ker and George A. Gordan, of Alabama, counsel for defendants. It will bo soon, that both questions are of great public interest. The first Involves fhc right of secession and the legality of the Governments established under it, and tho other whether a party originally concerned in rebellion, could not resumo his loyalty and have tho protection of the Constitution aud laws of the United States. An old lady, ou being examined as to her place of legal settlement, was asked what reason she had for supposing her husband had a legal settlement in that town. The old lady said: "He was boru and married there, and they buried bim there; aud if that isn't settling him there, I don't know what it ia." - Ti i Til' ' TT Unl?cd S tat ea C?rcult Conri.

South Carolina Monamrnl Association. AI'PKAXi. Women of South Carolina, there needs no urgent appeal to your sympathies in a cause so sacred as that which we now undertake. Tho great tide of adversity which lins swept over our unhappy land, has hitherto stifled effort in this direc? tion; but not, therefore, have our hearts ceased to beat for the glorious dead. Scarcely is there one among us whose thought does not, on the first mention of our object, turu at once, with loving affection, to some grave which this monument is intended to honor. Mothers, widows, sisters, daughters, whose hearts thus cling to tho soldier's grave, let us then unito with an earnest, loving effort in this holy duty. Let even our lisping little ones be brought to give their mite to its accomplishment; that thus impressed upon their minds, they may never forget to love and honor tho memory of thoso who battled and fell in our cause. If a lost cause, even there? fore the more holy. Even therefore does it hecomo the more incumbent upon ns, to bring to this great sacrifico of pure purpose aud heroic deed, that homage aud veneration which the world pays only to success. With the wish that all who have shared in a commun sorrow, may sharo also in the privilege of raising this testimonial to our lost heroes, the annual subscrip? tion for membership is put at the lowest point practicable; that thus it may be within tho reach of those, who, having little to give, havestill the right, through tears and suffering, to join us in the ful? filment of this most sacred duty. To all others-men as well as women, old and young-to all who cherish the nnmo of Carolinian, and cling with a fond love to whatever is left to us of our "good old State," wo would say, givo to us freely according to your meaus; give generously; give gratefully to the memo? ry of thoso who gave their lives for us. J. J. Wright, the colored Sonator from Beaufort, requests us to say that thc fol? lowing were his remarks concerning largo tracts of land, in a recent address. The statement iu the Charleston News, of the 25th, being incorrect: "He said that as long as a few owned all tho lauds, tho laborers could not be elevated as a mass as rapidly as they could if the lands were more equally divided, a? in tho Northern States. He further states, that if there could be un equitable way devised to sccuro to every industrious person a piece of land, he would joyfully join in so doing. He said further, that the laboring man was just as reapec*Til.!c ... .iit lawyer, or those who wore silk gloves, and that every good citizen shouhi S?? regard them."
