[Cofh?spondiroce of the Carolinian;}
WasminqTon, June 10, 1854.
Tlte Hotwe, in Committee of the "\VHole
*>n the Appropriation bills, allows a debute
extending; through all the past, present, and
future aotiou ofihe government. Our domestic
arid TomVn JjSncy ??V> mere haeknoy*ed
reiterations of wnat is to be, done, aud
what, with tire exceptions," is to bo the future
course of action. ^
The friends of the Homestead ^>iH in the
Senate have announced tboir intention to
Minkeit the special order from day to day
until disposed of. The p^pge of this bill
Will doubtless meet the same fate of the lusane
bill, and deservedly. The present ap
pearnnce of things requite it. The inducements
to emigration to this country hnve
? been held out so flatteringly, that ulready a
feeling is prevalent againt foreign influence
winch has organized itself into a powerful
aud dangerous opposition to lrolitical- parties,
haxardfng the issues ujhmi religion. The recent
attempts in New York and Brooklyn
suppress the froo expression of opinion
hav$ resulted in riots by this opposition, and
wilt continue to increase throughout the
country1, until the establishment of a tnilitaNry
force will be necessary to excuto the laws
nnd secure order. Nativism is now stronger
than ever before, and the power to meet the
issues at the next elections iu the several
States will doubtless result iu tlio defeat of
all opposition to it. The Catholic opposition
is dt nied, nnd the principle of nativum is
openly announced as the great power upon
which they expect to act.
Mr. Olds' substitute fov the .Post Office
bill will likely pass this week. It provides
for the payment of all matter for Congress to
be paid out of the contingent fund of the
two houses, and the prepayment of all information
in writing sent through the mails.
The latter is the only new feature in it. The
first is only an indirect way of getting into
the treasury.
The rejection of the treaty by Santa Anna
is not credited, though utter playing all
the importunate vampires that, have hovered
around his speculation, ho will have but little
to establish his empire.
Cuba is still discussed, though the question
has not assumed a single additional feature.
Its acquisition is a foregone conclusion.
The means, the pretexts, are to be

tluencc of France may create a more stubborn
obstinacy than otherwise would be made to the
spread of correct and politic notions in reference
to the purchase of it.
The change of the military to civil superin
tendencies is a species of corruption that
soms interested and netive party in pom- j
tion may finger tho contract. Is is possible
that a representative of the people would advocate
the adoption of a system from which
he expected pecuniary advantage i If legislation
is to, jajMHfcged for private gain, the
sooner thcjoJ^^H|now it bfc better.
it is said, will be
rejected by the TSeiiatC. The intermediate
negotiations with the colonial powers are <
not respected, having no authority to act definitely
on any regulation in reference to com- i
meree, free from the control of the crown. I
Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, made an j
excellent speech on the Pacific railroad bill,
advocating tho grant of lands within the
territories for the project. This speech ex-1
hibits much national and frank feeling, aud I
concurs with the opinions of the great Southerner
on the subject of donating public lands |
within the territories for purposes which will j
enhance the value of the remainder. There i
la u uM<n qui] cuvq/iiiiiiq hIiiIaoaiiIii. nnil nn
exemption from prejudice and sectionalism, j
that has won for him candor and indopen-,
dent action. The power of Congress to
donate public land, by alternate sections, for
the enhancement of the remainder, is one
which Mr. Calhoun promulgated long since |
in a speech on the bill to aid the Michigan !
railroad, lie says: "Asfar as the Michigan
bill was concerned, he understood the
principle was simply giving alternate sections
of the public lands for the purpose of enhancing
the value of the remainder. Upon ,
this point ho would say, that he had not the j
slightest doubt that the government not on-;
ly had the right, as proprietor of the public
cfomain, for such a purpose, but that it was
the duty of the government to do so. The
government ought to bo ashamed of allowing
their lands to bo enhanced in value by ,
the exertions and at the cost of a State, with-!
out contributing iu some degree to produce
this result."
It will be seen that he not only sanctions
it, but speaks of it as right and proper under
the proprietary powers of the government;
to dp so,
Mr. Bfooks advocates the Southern route J
by El Paso, and to which no one who ex-1
tricates himself from the meshes of section-1
alism can object for practicability, cheapness I
and the distance, #and the advantage over i
necessities that are almostrinseparablc to olh- .
er routes. His speech is worthy of the at-H
tention of those who desire to become enlightened
on the power the constitution eon
iera upon tins exercise una uie magnitude 01
tlie project contemplated.
The appointments in the territories are
yet unknown, though it was expected to-da^'
that they would be sent in. The contest is
beginning to become more important.
Secretary Davis has not met the cabinet
council for several days, owing to the death
of bis only child.
A tariff bill has been agreed upon,7 and will j
be submitted very soon.
' A little girl about four years of age, residing
in Centre Brighton, Maine, having been
apparently out of health for some time, and
troubled with a bad cough, ontlio 4th inst.,
her mother gave her a lobelia emetic, soon
after which she vomited up a black snake.
The child is n9W doing well. The snake
was covered with a scaly substance, was about
as large round as a lady's little linger,
and eighteen inches in length. It was alive
v. hen ejected. Probably it wa*-swallowed
when it wna very small.

RELIGIOUS ^REVIVAL.
For a week or two past ouf village has
been enjoying the influences of protracted
and very interesting religious meetings. The
Presbyterian church, during the week before
1 last, was blest with meetings of a most hap.
py and reviving character. There is much
1 praise due to its worthy and christian pastor,
the Rev. Mr. Gaillard, for his persevering
and untiring efforts in behalf of his church
and the cause of Christ in our midst. May
they be crowned with present and future
success.
During the past two weeks, and even
while we write, the Baptist denomination in
this place have boon, and arc still holding in
their church, a series of praycr-mcctinga,
which have resulted in the working of much
good. A number have professed Christianity,
and added to the church. The pastor of
the church, Rev. Richard Fcrman, has labored
most assiduously and earnestly for the
welfare of its members. Wo believe 110 one
has ever possessed more the confidence of his
congregation, and may lie live long to enjoy
their love and esteem.
SUNDAY EVILS.
; The habit of playing marbles, in which
1 negroes, and sometimes white boys, are permitted
to indulge, about the stables and in
the streets of our village, upon the sabbath,
we look upon as being nothing less than a
nuisance, and believe the Town Council (if
they think it their duty,) should take iinme
diuic nifa.surw) 10 nave me evil aunieo. w e | (
do not believe our worthy town officers arc ;
to be blhmed for its existence, but we do
I 1 *9
think that sunday patrols have badly performed
their duty. The children who are
thus permitted to associate with negroes, not
only contract their low and vulgar habits,
but eventually lose all the respect and love
they once had for the church and sabbath
school. Those having the interests and wel-1
fare of their children nt heart, should look
to this mutter. And not only the parents
of our town, but every one desirous of seeing I
our village present a neat and orderly appearance
on the sabbath, should use their
personal efforts to rid us of this moral nuisance.
As it is, children, and others, going
to school and church, are met at almost ev- \
cry corner with the oaths and cursings of ' i
those who are thus permitted, in open day,
and before the eyes of our citizens, to violate '
the sabbath, and molesting those who may
j be endeavoring to keep it sacred.
THE ENTERPRISE?OUR INDEPENDENCE.
Vn'iif.m we issued our prospectus for the \
establishing a now paper, we distinctly said
that it Mas our intention to keep from its J
columns the 44 odible trash" which too often '
finds a medium in many papers of the pros-1
cut day. IJow far wc have maintained our '
principles, in that respect, our readers must
he the judges. One thing we do know?it. J
has been our earnest endeavor to do so.
We have been recently met with the remark
that wo were not independent enough
to be the conductor of a public journal. We
were likewise told that we did not possess the
manliness to attack vice, immorality and everything
needing reform. In reply to the
accusations, we said and say it again, that
we are in favor of nuFoftM, wherever and j
whenever it may be needed. Have always,!
and shall still?conl?nue to be so, but our col- j
umns are not, nor will they ever i>o open to i
| every class of scribblers. We publish notli|
ing which is not decent and respectable.?
I Where there are questions before our citizens
demanding their attention, and involving
their interests, then our sheet is open freely
to both sides, and articlee cheerfully published.
But our intention in penning this article
waft to answer more fully the unjust and, we
think, totally uncalled for accusations. Our
having refased to publish an article which
I bore upon its face the impress of maliciousness,
and written in such a manner as to rej
llect much disgrace and odium upon our
village, and which would materially injure
her dearest interests, was the cause of this
great (!) abuse. To give our reade*? a more
correct idea of the character of the article
in question, we wdinld say it was just such a
one as no gentleman having the welfare ttf
our town in view would be guilty of attaching
his }iHiu01thercfove, we peremptorily refused
to publish It, / .

which ho may considerSw being paid?at

receive contributions to our paper, \vhentfiey
are suitable, but when men imagine rhey
can buy ?|> our paper, and make it a tool to
carry out their malignant designs, and convert
it into a vehicle of their own, they will j
Snd it an useless undertaking. The paper is I

libcrnlity. Wherever we think reform is
needed there shall we direct our effort-?
Whenover Greenville aud her interests demand
our humble efforts, tlicy are at her
command. We shall never enter the list to
oppose her in any great enterprise.^or pour
out a tirade of abuse against her citizens, or
permit any one else .to do so through the
columns of onr paper.
As regards our maulmess and courage to
attack vice and immorality, as well as everything
and everybody not exectjy in a state
that wo would like to seo them, we would
say that the mode of attack which the gentleman
proposed is one whiith instead of diminishing
the evils would have a most decided
tendency to increase them. We cannot
ty?d it in our heart to boast of courage? ,
never could ; wo would even dislike to
number in "our list of friends-" ?. man who
would intentionally wrong or injure the {
smallest creature. But, when a question of!
right and wrong arises, and we ourselves endeavored
to be swayed by unprincipled men,
we then shall muster eourage sufficient to defend
the right, and show that our caliber is
not the composition of?a coward.

OFF-HAND G0S?IP.
During these long and hot days of June
one finds time to taken chat with his friends
?he rather seeks it than otherwise. There
is a great deal to talk about, and wo lose!
no opportunity in satisfying n groat propensity.
We arc truly glad you hare called in
to see us?everything in our j>owcr to render
you "perfectly at home" Vve intend doing.
The exchanges are nt your sorviec, but
while wo are setting the type for our paper,
be careful you don't41 up-set" any of them,
for fear of incurring the displeasure of our
devil, who is seated just on our left. We
have no 44 editorial table" as yet, and consequently,
are compelled to make and 4aetup'
our editorials while at the case. This we
consider a great saving of tiino, labor and
expense.
The news from the country and the crops
is of a most cheering character. The rains
which fell but recently have caused the com
to grow rapidly, and a most prolific springing
up of all garden vegetables, not yet matured.
The farmers all wear cheerful countenances,
and tell us they anticipate an abundant
harvest. May their fondest hopes be
fully realised. It hr to be hoped that the
clouds which have heretofore refreshened the
earth and ourselves with copious showers,
will 44 hold up " for a short time, at least un
til the crops may he gathered; then may we
truly expect to find the harvest great.
Our merchants, we should thinlc, welldoing
pretty good businesses, for this season of
the year. The different hotels of our village
will soon be crowded with visitors. Already
we notice the faces of many who have
heretofore honored us with their company
during the summer mouths. No wonder
they like Oreenville. Thero 'a so many good
and clever people to become acquainted
with, and to like. In the way of Hotels we
are a little ahead of any mountain town?
having everything neat and orderly, and table
commodities in abundance, served tip in
splendid style, with all the littlo ctcetras. If
any are desirous of finding a quiet and retired
place, instead of tho busy hotels, they can
be well accommodated by some of our citizens
keeping private boarding houses.?

Tot the Southom Enterprise.
Mr. Editor:?Will you permit ine to ask ,
a question in connection with the controversy
about the Female College, and the Academy
lands ?
Ik it true, thnt the sixty respectable persons
who signed the protest against the transfer
of the neadeuir lands for the use of a
Female Baptist College, and whose names 1
arc published in this week's Mountaineer, j
did subscribe eight hundred dollars, while
their opjKinents subscribed upwards of sir
thousand dollars to the Unptist Female College
? This if I am not mistaken was the
statement in last week's Patriot. If the report
is true as I believe it is, I make these
inferences: 1st. If the qfnior Editor'of the
Mountaineer nnd his co-operators have had
their liberality increased much by the excitement,
they must have hud but little before
the excitement commenced. 2nd. If the
Editor doubts whether our side has the majority
of the voters?he cannot have any,
that we have the majority of the Librralitg.
3rd. If sixty respectable men,subscribed only
eight hundrod dollars for a very important
public enterprise, they don't feel much interest
in its success.
Let me say in conclusion, that the Mountaineer
is mistaken in asserting again that
the, transfer is for donommational use. it is
for the purpose of general education, under
denominational direction. .CATO.
For the Southern Enterprise.
Mr. Editor :?As the Mountaineer has
had the goodness to comply with one request
I am encouraged to innkc another. In order
| tlmt the truth of history shall have no shad;
ow of shade on it touching the names and acts
of the sixty ancient and respectable citizens i
| that signed the protest, will the Mountaineer j
in it* next issue give us the subscription list
so that the clerk's office may have a wiitteu
record for the use of posterity, how the eight
hundred dollars was shared by the sixty ?
It seems strange that this Aeodeniico-Col;
lege excitement should have such an obfus]
eating influence. The importance of a written
record for the information of posterity is
' every day becoming more apparent. For
some of our friends doubt whicli is the largest
number 120 or 00. And some agnin cannot
for the life of them sec the difference be'
tween using property for sectarian purposes
and that of appropriating it or the purposes
of general education under denominational
direction.
To tho Clerk's office with your records,
, gcutleman. FAIR I'LAY.

Wo find groat oonffdeuce }u*t how existing
among the congressionitf advocates of T
the acquisition of Cuba, that this event is ti
very rapidly approaching. Strange (to those fr
abroad >vbo behove the raw-head-aiid-bloody- ,jf
bones roorbacks of tho abolition presses}.*^ is
tell, it is in Washington considered very h
nearly .sure that the island will bo acquired
without filing a gun, and foi^n price which v.
will not cost tho United States treasury more ci
than the revenues ,coHec table therein from d
duties ou imports in a reasonable time will S
nmnlv renav. without assessine" nnv taxes v:
there different from those now collectable, or p
hereafter to he coljeetable, in the United si
States. Much of this feeling of certainty ro- a
fened to above "arises from private advices \t
from Madrid, as to the disposition of the a:
Spanish Cabinet to take a ftommon sense' h
view, of the question; while not a little of it ci
is fairly aUrilmtnblo to change* in Uio con- tt
dition of affaire elsewhere, which are nntici- ai
pated here, and which must inevitably speed- e<
lly nrfect our future, as it inav be connected w
with that of the island of Cuba.. si
Spain's exchequer never was in a worse si
condition. Her industrial resources arc si
wholly undeveloped, while, they notoriously r<
present ca|mbilitics, out of which, properly w
managed, she may even yet be made one of p
the most thriving countries of the old world, ti
Lust for gold has been her curse so far. The r<

with East and West Indian commerce lj
(which latter included that of South Aincri- it
ca and Mexico) early act Spain off her indus- it
trial balance, which she has not recovered a
to this day. Sho is sadly in want of rail- a
roads, and the change iu her Cuban policy tl
with referenco to Cuba bids fair to cramp v
rather than to increase her means of making q
them. Up to very recently, the Queen and d
Queen Mother shared with the Captain Gen- \i
eral the <10 tax pnid on each African tic- b
gio landed 011 the Island. This princely rer- e
euue has vnuished. So, as far as Spanish ti
royalty is concerned, Cuba is hereafter to n
be a burden and annoyance, rather than the li
source of revenue, to awell their private r
means, as up to the appointment of the pres- li
out Captain General. n

The Lemmon Slave Case Revived.
4flpkftdelfe generally will remember that in
the autumn of the yem* 1862, Jonathan
Lemmon, a citizen of the 8tato of Virginia,
brought eight slaves to New Yortc in transitu
to Texas, whither he was emigrating
with his family and property. These slaves
were taken l>efore the late Judge Pa inn, of
the Superior Court, by virtue of a writ qf
habeas corpus issued on the application of a
colored man named Louis Napoleon, and
Judge Paine ordered them to be discharged
from the custody of their master, on the
-I 1 1 . ? *'
i{ivmiKi iiinv ?i?vc? orougiu voluntarily into
New York by their owners are ipso facto a
nnule free. A subscription of ((o,000, to 1
which the Judge himself contributed (>100,
was afterwards raised nmong residents of
New. York, nnd Mr. Ivcmmon was compensated
for his loss. The Legislature of Virginia
adopted a resolution to prosecute an
appeal from Judge 1'nine's decision to the
Supremo Court of the State of New York,
and, if necessary, to the 8ttj>erioT Court of
the United States, for the purpose of testing
the question whether, under the federal
constitution, citizens of slave States have or
have not the right to convey their slaves
through the freo States, On route from one
slave State to another?from Virginia to
Texas. The case has been taken up to the
New York Superior Court on certiorari, and
when reached will probably be argued by
the Hon. Willis P. Hoeock, attorneyVleneral
of Virginia, on one side, mid by the Hon.
Ogden Hoffman, Attorney Genernl of New
York, on the other. In the mean time, a
motion has been made that Mr. Lemmon,
being a non-resident, shall be required to
file security for eocta. This is ar. interior
tory matter not affecting the merits. It was
argued yesterday, before Mr. Justice Clerkc
