Tbei Paris correspondent of the New York I
CowmKMl Advertiser gives rather a chilling
aceum of the inauguration of the great French 1
Kimt?*>n. lie say-:
,mRio inauguration of the Exhibition took !
jdJe on \he i5tlr, the appointed dfcy.: Neither j1
tiff ceremonial of Uiq occasion nor the appear- j
we of the building, nor the value and work- ,
anship of the products, can bo for one mom cut;
-*ompar?-d to the World's Fair in Hyde Park. \
The weather was dull and very raw, with j
f threatening rain, only oue quarter of the ar- |
.7 t?chss were arranged and in their places, 20,000 j
'i boxes and packages yet remaining to be opened.
f The programme was very short, lasting, hardly a j
quarter of an hour, consisting of a short speech
j by the Einperur, in reply to Prince Napoleon,
and two pieces of music; while the arrangements
Jbfthe police plainly showed the extreme haste
in which the whole affair had been conducted.
The pageant ofthe Emperor arrived, surround
d by bis munificent mounted b dy guard,'and j
??. the cow <T ceil of the attentive and highly-dressed |
galleries, during the delivery of the discourse of j
l*iiu? e Napoleon, were the eeremony. Ilis . majesty
was coldly received, and not a single 6hout
marked the conclusion of his speech. He and
the JSmpreis walked several times through t)?ettiiftoe,
by passages fenced in/r?>m the crowd and
excited the usual curiosity but very few acclamations.
It mast certainly be allowed that this
long-expected day fell very far short of realizing
the anticipations that had been formed of it- j
The Patrie, iti speaking of the Palace and its j
contents, begins by abjuring its readers to forget i
the London Exhibition if they can, for a com- j
}>arison of the two would mortify their national |
jiride. The stoclr fell the day after one and a (
quarter percent."
Again:
*! ought to have said, while the English em- |
Jw<wy had as many tickets or admission as ltasn- ,
?d for, and while Prince Napoleon gave 4,0Q0 I
with dm Own hand, the American embassy re- <
ceived exactly nine! . i
^ uThe exhibition was thinly attended yesterday j
but i# doing better to-day."
Fit asce.? The correspondent of the New
York Hercdl gives the following account of the
*
execution of Pianori:
,* Pianori, the man who fired at Louis Napoleon
leu paid the penalty with his life. He was de
capitated on Monday morning, at 5 o'clock, in
the muni place of execution of the prison of
Ko?)u"'tte, not far from the liastile. The spectators
were not many at that early hour, and it
was only on tlie evening before that orders were
sent round to the police agents to be ready.
The Advocate-General visited him an hour before j
^ bis execution to learn whether at that terrible i
moment when the world was about to close upon |
hiin, be bad any disclosures- to make. To the
questions of the Advocate he answered by astern
tod single negative. He died and made no
ign. lie was led to the scaffold, which was in
the square of the prison, in the costume of parricide?a
black veil thrown over his face, a long
sfeirt covering him, and his feet naked. He was
palo but his features were calm; yet the effort
mast have beeu strong which produced that !
calmness, for on his cheek bone was a bright
hectic rpot, which told what passed within. As
he stood on the scaffold he cried "Vive la Refmbliqueand
the plank to which he was bound
turned the moment he was about to repeat the i
cry. Yet l^nori cannot be considered, even by j

mitted crimes sufficient to earn such a doom.
In. the faubourg* it is. rumored that it was not
Tianori, but a manniquin, that wa& guillotined, ,
and that the real person (who, of course, was a
police agent) has been sent out of the country j
with a passport.

Kansas Territory ?Its Prospects.?We
had the pleasure of meeljiig with Col. Crosson .
during the present week, and from him learned
many particulars concerning the state of things
in Kansas. Col C. was lately of Newberry
district, and Editor of the Sentinel, and is a
. man rS liiirti i^hnrrWpr find intelligence. lie is
just from Kansas, and says thAt the prospects
for maintaining the vantage ground now held
by the Southern States is. decided. Kausas
will be a Sluveholding State, or uo State of this
Union. They are determined on it. Ho sayu
that the Northern abolition papers have grossly
slandered the Miasouriaus. That notwithstanding
the grwtt excitement existing in Missouri,
they are determined to carry their point orderly,
though with unflinching tenacity.'
.. The lands are represented as.very fine,.and
the country is well adapted for a sluveholding
State. Col. C. remarked that one of the most
efficient men in turning the tide of opinion in
favor of slavery in Kansas, was an emigrant
from Massachusetts sent out by the free-sailers.
He and many others discovered, on reaching
Missouri, the gross lies which al>oHtion had
tiuight them in regard to the condition of the
negro, and the institution of slaxery in general
and they have wisely determined to go for a
sUreholding State rather than a free negro
State.

Curious 'Facts About the Presidents.?.
The Boston Transcript is great on statistics;
Its last effort in this line is the compilation of
some curious coiucidents noticeable in contemplating
the names and lives of the first seven
Presidents of the United States?Washington
John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams, and Jackson. We quote some
of the most striking of these:
Four of the seven were from Virginia. Two
of the same name were from Miissaclijisgtts, and
the seventh from Tennessee. All but one were
sixty-six years old on leaving office, having
served two terms ; and one of those, who served
but one teim, would have been sixty-six years
of age at the end of another. Three of the seven
died on the4th day of July, and two of them
on the same clay and year. Two of them were
on the sub committee of three that drafted the
ueciaratiou ot independence, and these two died
on the same day and year, and, on the anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence, and just
a half-century from the day of the Declaration.
The names of throe of the seven end in son, vet
neither of these transmitted his name to a son.
Ill respect to the names of all, it may be said
in conclusion : The initials of two of the 6cven
were the same?and the initials of still two
others were the same. The remaining one, who
standing alone in this particular, stands alone
in the admiration and love of his countrymen
and of the civilized world?Washington. Of
the first five only one had a son, and that son
was also President. _

come to in regard to any of the questions before
them, but to suggest the division of service

opinion of the Bishops present was not to
make any change in the prayer book or rubrics
They adjourned to meet in a year, during which
interval each member, upon the information received
from iuterrogatoiics addressed to the
clergy, will prepare an opinion, and upon a comparison
of these views, a general report will be

Our Visit to Charleston.
We have never before visited Charleston with as
high expectations of pleasure, and with as much confidence
that we should be pleased. On Tuesday last
we left Camden in Company with several brethren,
and at Kingsville joined a number of distinguished
and worthy advocates of the cause in which, now, so
much true talent and patriotism is engaged. Hero
we mot M. W. P. Tilley, of New Brunswick, Rev.
J. E. Ryerson, of Canada West, and others, with His
Honor Judsre O'Neall. G. W. P. Townsend. and a
host of " Sobs" good and true, all on their way to the
( grand aud glorious convocation of Temperance to assemble
on Wednesday, of which so much has been
written ar.d said; arrived at Branchville we received
large and strong reinforcements of delegates from
Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, &c., among whom was
Col. Buckley, a native orator, whose eloquence it is
said almost equals that of tiie orator of Ashland.
In Charleston, the most ample and elegant arrangements
were made by the Committee of Arrangements,
of which B. C. Pressley, Ksq. was Chairman, for the
reception and entertainment of the National -Division,
as the guests of the Grand Division of S. 0., and for
the accommodation of delegates generally fo the meeting.
All elegantly and luxuriously quartered at the
Mills House. Here we met several of our pld and
esteemed friends, and a more earnest, warm, and genuine
gratulation of all parties could hardly Jiave been
imagined. Our limits will not allow us to particularize,
for we might be invidious without intending it, and
to say all we saw, heard, and felt, would occupy the
whole side of our paper. Wc pas3 on.
On the evening of Tuesday, the Grand Division met,
and initiated twenty-one new members, and the evening
was pleasantly passed in social communication,
and a frco and easy conference upon tho subject of
Temperance generally.
On Wednesday the Gth inst., the great movement
fairly commenced, and here we are entirely at a lo3s
to know how we shall communicate an adequato idea
to our readers, of the vast and magnificent display
of that occasion, it could only be properly appreciated
and understood by seeing for one's self, but we will
tell our tale the best way wo can. It is quite a compliment
to the occasion to quote the language of an
old and leading journul of the City, which in its faithful
and excellent report of the proceedings savs, " the
result fully justified the expectations of the most sail-,
guine friends of the cause," It was most emphatically
so, and we have yet to meet the man, who was not
pleased and delighted with the whole proceedings. A
processiou was formed at the Hall of Palmetto Division,
which marched under escort of the Citadel Cadets,
whose appearanco and exercises would lose
nothiug by comparison with the best drilled Corps in
the Union. The whole under tbe? command of Capt.
J. J. Lucas, Grand Marshall, assisted by Messrs. T.
Tupper, Jr., and J. D. Wylio.
The compliment was a handsomo and generous
tribute from our gallant and noble young Palmetto's,
uud was highly appreciated and felt, by every Temperance.
man who saw this elegant display. At the spacious
and magnificent Hall of the South Carolina Institute,
a largo concourse of ladies and gentlemen
were assembled and the interesting ceremonies witnessed
with a degree of earnestness and enthusiasm
which we have not seen excelled or equalled, Jor
many a long long day.
After prayer byBro. Jackson, qptiug Grand Chaplain,
u noblo and fraternal welcome was extended to
the ftatioaal Division by G. W. P. Townsend, whose
words of earnestness and truth were warmly and enthusiastically
seconded by every brother present.'
The response of M. W. P. Tilley, was the best ef
fort of the kind that wo have listened to, and could
otily be properly appreciated by being heard.
Mr. Tilley is a strong man, not only in the councils
of Temperance, but at home in his own political jurisdiction,
occupying as ho does, a most honorable and'
important official station under Her Majesty's Govern[
raent, being Provincial Secretary of the Colonial Government
of New Brunswick?"an active, leading, and
I influential citizen in political movements, and a most
thorough, uncompromising, and distinguished advocate
of Temperance."
The next ceremony was tho presentation to the National
Division, of a beautiful Banner, prepared for
the occasion, either by, or under the immediate supervision*
of Brother G. T. McKenzie, Grand Sentinel,
and onft'of the best and mcst efficient working temperance
men in the State, who adds most hnunoniously
to his other qualifications as a temperance man, social
qualities of the finest order. The description of the j
Panner presentation, and a description of the magnificent
Banner itself) we can better give In tbe language

and forcible manner.
Tlte reception devolved on Gen/8. F. Curey, of
Ohio, a P. M. "W. P., who reached our city yesterday
morning in time to gratify the many expectant friends
by discharging the grateful task that had been as-'
signed him by the Committee of Arrangements. G-en.
Carey apologised partially for the suddenness of his
summons, but ho had not spoken many minutes be
fore he satisfied all that he comes from a region where
off-hand shooting is part and parcel of every man'a
education. He is free and untrammeled in his oratory
?running down tropes and figures in a lavish spirit
that scorns all thoughts or fears of exlwusting materials
by its discursive rangiugs. To use an allowable
figure wo must characterize him as one' of the most
dexterous of orators, with the left hand, which he
uses almost to the exclusion of its neighbor and heiping
hand."
After the announcement of the proceedings for the
afternoon and evening, by Judge O'Neall, tho large
and interested assembly was dismissed with a benediction
by the M. W. Chaplain, Rev. J. E. Ryerson,
of Canada West
In tho evening a most brilliant and large assemblage
of ladies and citizens welcomed the speakers for
the occasion by their cheerful presence, and contributed
by this negative act alone much to the enjoyment
and interest of the evening. Prayer was made by the
venerable Dr. Curtis, of Limestone Springs, and the
first speaker Rev. C. M F. Deems, D. D., of North
Carolina, and of the M. E. Church South, was intro.
duced by M. W. P. Tilley, whose speech was, without
exception, tie best that we ever heard. We use
the superlative here pretty strong; that is what
we mean, but as wo are afraid to trust ourself with a
description of that speech, being somewhat ultra and
jealous as some think, we are content to "give the
words of others to show that we are not alone in our
admiration of this speech on the subject of temperance.
From the same source we copy the following
in reference to Dr. Deems' speech and that of Mr.
Ryerson^ of Canada AVest:
,l His mark was set up high by the terms of the
introduction given him, and by the reports that had
readied many, and he fell not below it.
After a gracefully appropriate introduction, which
arrested and conciliated attention, he proceeded to a
discussion of the remedy for intemperance as a pu^j^
social, and national eriL
The eloquent und impressive address of Dr. Deems
occupied an hour and a half, and closed with a glowing
portraiture of the glories and blessings awaiting
the final triumph of the cause of temperance.
The band in-the centre gallery favored the audi-,
ence with " God save the Queen," in compliment to
the next speaker announced?tho Rev. J, E. Ryerson,
of Canada "West. Of him, also, confident and
exalted anticipations were entertained, and the^>rief
address he delivered left no nearer disappointed.
Mr. Ryerson made, professedly, walher an excuse
for not speaking, than a speech, and yet he showed
himself a consummate orator in no ordinary or adven"
titious senso or tlie term, tie spoKe as an American,
and appealed to the sense of common duty and destiny,
which should unite all Americans in the great
moral and political field opened on this continent."
Tho second public meeting was held on Thursday
evening, in the spacious and magnificent Hall of tho
South Carolina Institute, on which occasion Col. Buckley,
of Kentucky, was introduced and delivered a
stirring and eloquent address. A cotemporary de
scribes him as a noble representative of the Western
man?-gallant and frank and noble in mien and stature,
and honest, free and manly in utterance?a fine repre
sentativo of the popular oratory of the hustings in its
best development of style and manner.
We have only time to announce the different speakers
and give the leading topics upon which they discoursed.
Where there are so many distinguished
men and speakers it is difficult to do all justice, for
we are apt to have our favorites, and those who are
eminently worthy of notice and commendation are of
ten the very ones overlooked, but CoL Buckley will
make his mark anywhere, and it will be hard to overlook
him. He argued most successfully for tho necessity
of the heart as well as the mind being educated
and properly cultured. He dwelt forcibly and elonnnnl
It* nnnn t.liA mnrnl enWimJftr nf* n
virtuous life, illustrating his positions by instances in
our own history?that of "Washington, and nearer
homo, that of the moral worth and sublimo purity of
our own honored and beloved Calhoun. Col. Buckley
occupied his hour in a manner worthy of his noblo
theme and honorable to the State of which he is a
full-growu specimen, fit tt> rank among her best leaders.
.' . ,
General Snmuol F. Carey of Onio was the acknowledged
biffffunoC tho Convention; he is regarded,
and justly too, among the most prornintnt and efficient
orators in our country, and has been a most zealous
missionary of prohibition in many States. No one
who has ever heard him speak will question this for a
moment. There are few men who exercise such a powful
control over their audiences as does Gen. Carey.
We attempt not, to give a just idea of what we heard
and saw. He is The best and most ananswerablefodvocnte
of the cause that we ever heard or expect to bear,
and if there had been the shadow of a doubt upon
our mind in regard to the justice and truth of eur
causo, it would all have vanished as quickly as the vapor
before the rays of the Sun.
Any man who can speak upon the trite and hackneyed
subject of Temperance for one hour and a half
before a Charleston audience, and upoa the mere intimation
of closing, to'be vociferously ordered to goon!
goont accompanied by perfect storms of applause
in our judgment can travel; we can say nothing more
about him, for our enthusiasm for, and .admiration of
bis genius, knows no limit, and for. fear of making
v/uiocii cAWttTogfluv, n? out wiyoo uj ouuyiy ebttUU^
that we have never heard a man that could apprcfach
him either in style or matter. Could he stay a f<?w 1
weeks iu our State, it would not be hard to predict
the result. . ^ -*>. v
On Friday the Temperance Excursion up Cooper
River, and around the Charleston Harbor, caipe off in
a style which has not been surpassed we imagine in
many a long day, and wo regret that' oar limits
here preclude more than a general allusion to it The
whole affair passed off in a m(Inner highly complimentary
to the Comraitteeaof-Arrangements, who have .
discharged their respective duties in a style which
could not be-surpassed. The many and oft?repeated
expressions of satisfaction from our guests?(ho mem.

speakers,were-liiCr/ Crowley, of Maryland; Mr. Renau,
