Washisotow, June 28, 1854.
Tlic President's message, announcing the
Acceptance by Santa Anna of the treaty,
Was sent to the Hotl.*, and a hill was reported
from tiie Committee of Ways and Menus
/ Appropriating tcu millions to carry into cf
fecials stipulations.
Mr. Kknton said he desired that timo be
Allowed for the consideration of this bill, to
ascertain if the privilege of the House liad
not been \ iolntcd in the negotiations."
The time for the exchange of ratifications
is limiied to the 30th instant, whieh will require
immediate action. If there is any opposition
beyond Colonel Benton, who is desirous
to defeat it, it will be in their power
to do so. Should such occur, it will be the
first time in the history of this government
that the treaty-??? n.king now or is made subservient
to the House. It will he the only
occurrence that denies the supremacy witli
which that power is conferred by the constitution.
Tho anti-Nebraska party, for such they
may bo designated, have issued their address
tA the people of the United Suites, which is
much beyond their right to claim attention,
recapitulating the origin, the proceedings, to
the final passage of those acts, arranging
the aggressivo power of slavery, with the violation
of solemn compacts, and alarmingly
apprehensive of the future growth and final
sepaiation of the Southern from (lie Northren
and Eastern States, the doubtful constitutionality
of the fugitive slave law, the acquisition
of Cuba, the annexation of Mexico
and the whole continent, and pushing the
war even into Africa. Such are some of the
peculiar arguments they sublr.it to the people
??f the United States, and conclude with the
desire to do all in their power to restore the
Missoui i compromise, and represent these in
I he national councils.
Its object is apparent- A pretended representative
power, false statements, unfair inferences,
made up of that morbid fanaticism
which is used for the purpose of pandering
to a debased constituency.
Mr. Rockwell, the new Senator from Massachusetts,
presented a petition for the repeal
of the fugitive slave law, which he desired
to refer. Mr. Dixon,*of Kentucky,
ft moved that its reference be postponed until
to-day, when he and some others desired to
be heard on it. This will likely get up a

adoption of some rule to place these beyond
the further notice of all eyes.
Mr. Bell spoke in the Senate against the
veto message, after which the bill was postponed.
Mr. Old's Poet Office bill will likely come
up to-day in the House; its passage may be
delayed.
The appointments were sent to the Senate
yesterday for'Nebraska and Kansas. It
is said that Gen. Butler is to go to Kansas,
and Mr. Recder, of Pennsylvania, to Nebraska,
as Governors, and that Rush Elmore,
esq.,of Alabama, will be associate Judgo for
Kausas.
The President left this morning in company
with General C'a?s, Secretary of the Navy,
and private Secretary, for Old Point
Comfort.

was shown to n*, which had a smnJJ hole in
the side near the bottom, perforated as if by
a buck shot, through which the lightning
passed, melted the solder from the lid, and
passed out at the top, throwing^he lid into
the centre of the room. The house had
fourteen occupants in it, and not one of them
was injured, and the children were not even
wakened by the explosion. The sleeping
room of Mr. Ellis was so filled with dust,
and smell of sulphur that he was nearly suffocated
before he could open the door.?
The damage to the dwelling wa? small.

THE METHODIST FAIR.
It will be seen by a reference to our advertising
columns that the female members of
the Methodist church, and others interested,
' will give a Fair on the Fourth of July, in
the evening, the proceeds of which are intended
for the purpose of repairing the
church. It is unnecessary to urge upon our
citizens the propriety of going. Their wellknown
liberality, and the plausible ends for
which it is gotten up, is a good assurance
that it will be well attended.

A QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE.
Mr. Editor :?Recognizing your excellent
journal ns a standard in all social matters,
j wo would respectfully ask your opinion on
i the toiiowing point of etiquette, tu; Who
I should on meeting, speak first, the lady or
I the gentleman ?
Wo have been involved in numberless disputes
U]x>n that point with both Indies and
gentlemen, and Lave been frequently "hauled
over the coals " for not speaking, when
we really were at a loss whether etiquette required
us or the lady to speak first
Hoping you will pardon us for troubling 1
you on this subject, we are
Your* respectfully, Chesterfield.
Wk do not exactly consider it our perogative
to decide contested points of etiquette, i
I We are not a Con rrt ^D'C^pay, a Lady Wee- '
1 sington ; neither can we give or enter into
a!1 the little particulars of a" turning point * i
like Mf- Willis of the Home Journal, nor '
have we entirely reed Mia* Leslie's "Good 1

posed that a gentleman would dare to recognise
a lady in the afreet, unless a particular
friend, and there were evident signs of a mutual
mogahioa on the part of the lady,
which one iftayMfriaily detect The ladies,
when they walk, art not ignoemt of the ones
they tre% about meeting, andean easily discover
wither it js to bo asOfcnger or ft'
acquaintance. Their vails are notsabray?
" masked batteries," from Kguml which they
are Remitted to peer, without being discovered,
and 4f she be anxious to avoid a recognition,
she can easily u turn those lowly
eyes away." We believe (and so, are think,
does " Chesterfield,") that it is the hfcly who
should speak first, but we live in a great and
free country, and every one may hold his
tongue or broach-?-as he like*. Times have
changed, however, since the days of Lord
Cheatctfield, and where once the gentlemen
looked for the ladies first to speak, ihe latter
now declare that they are and have been waiting
for tho gentlemen to propott. May they
never v.'5it long.
A DAY IN THE COUNTRY,
AND A HVPI'ER UT THE WAY-SIDE.
Foa one who has over been housed, or permitted
to wnnder do farther than the purlieus
of a home, or the village, a day wellspent
amid tho sceneries of tho country amply
rewards him for the time seemingly lost.
There are pleasures to he found in the coun- :
try which ilic poor denizens of a city or'
town arc entirely ignorant as to their exist-!
enee. The cold conventionalities which we
are compelled to submit to are entirely lost in (
the free, open-henrted frankness of the coun-1
tryinnn!
We have always thought we would like ,
very much to be for once enjoying inc scene- ;
r:es and pleasures of which w e have read and
heard so much. And thus whilst we have no
preternatural inclinations to pass everything
1 good" by the l>oarcl, it is unnecessary to say
we availed ourselves of the oppoitunity a |
short time since, of spending a pleasant day
in n delightful and romantic section of our i
District. Bent u^ou "seeingeverything to
be soon," and enjoying to tlio utmost the
little time allotted us, it is no wonder we imagined
that the birds sang sweeter and loudsr,
the wild flowers to lend a fragrance heretofore
unntiributed to them, and the foliage
jf the trees to give a deeper shade, whilst i
.he bright summer sun secined to shine more j
sweetly with attempered beams, ami shedling
down
"A milder and more grateful warmth."
Wc had left Circenvillc for the purpose of
being present at the "hot supper," given by '
the ladies of the lower part of the IHstriet,
iml to which we had been invited through I
heir kindness and re.-peet. After loosing our 1
iray several times, (a consequence wo had 1
provided for,) we found to our great satisfaction
that wc had arrived at the place to
which our endeavors had been tending. It
wns tnie?we were really there, and enjoyng
the cool shadows of the sourrounding
recs. Twilight, short arbiter 'twixt day and
light, soon faded away, and evening came,
" an evening bright, and still.
As ever blushed on wave or bower:
Smiling; from heaven m if nought ill,
Could happen in *o sweet ?n hour."
It wns not long before we made the acquaintance
of ninny,when the time glided lees
heavily away. We were soon permitted to
gaze lit the " Curiosities," which the young
ladies had planned, and fitted up, and there,
too, permitted to look at "a life-like picture " >
r?f one that wc knew, and one we have ever 1
liked. The one we saw, reader, our modes- (
ty forbids telling, but there were others who j
were as much delighted as ourselves?" who I
paid as much to see."
Then came the snpper?a kot one?and
wasn't it just such a supper as only "Carolina
ladies " know how to get up! After all
bail partaken freely there was left a sufficiency
" of the same sort " for hundreds more.
Supper over we were told oiat to the accommodations
of the evening a Post-Office had
been added, at which might be found letters
from correspondents and friends. Information
was also given that our correspondents
had followed us, and thai letters to the "Krv
terpriae n were awaiting delivery. Our bos J
was called for, and sure enough we jrcre handed
by the " fair * P. M., a bundle of letters,
whose contents were eagerly perused, and
found really gratifying And satisfactory.?
(Tliey were somewhat complimentary.) Some
(poke of " Love," others of "flope," whilst
many were on business. Tlie first was an
article which we have not had upon our
dielves for some time. Tlir genuine being
rather scarce we prefer keeping little or none.
f)f the tatter we have had plenty, and 'hope'
the stock may never diminish*
We were honored with the first chance at
a " ring," placed in a large cake, and were
told af wc should be so fortunate as to get it,
would"Jfrove a favorable omen. like all illlucked
people, we didn't get it, but were condoled
with the reflection that all our Chances
were not u in the ring? ^ r

At a celled meeting of Greenville Division
No. 10, 8. of T., held June 20th, 1854,

unanimously-adopted :
WHKXBAs,k has pleased an afi-triao Providence,
the great dispcnserV human events,
to remove frbin amongst us our esteemed
brother, C J. Waldkot, who was a member

The Centra! Corara'M** Minnintrd at tlie i
1
late Temperance Covention have resolved i
to have a public Temperance Celebration in
this city on the 4th of July. Rev. J. II.
Thorn well, d. D., and other distinguished
gentlemen are expected to deliver addresses
on that occasion. We hope to see a goodly ]
number of the people present The expedi" I
ency of an anti-Liccnsc Law should now lie 1
proclaimed; the advantages to the people J
in gencrtd be shown, and the constitutional!- ,
ty of such a measure be fully, clearly, and j
satisfactorily proved. Until the friends of i
"Prohibition," act thus, they cannot achieve '
much. Every grog-house politician has '
suddenly showhra great regard for the "Constitution,"
and more than one Newspaper?
to our shame be it said?has re-echoed the
sentiments of those political "rummies."? i
We admire conservatism in its nlnce ? lmt Jf
under tluit plea, the interest* of the people i
arc to be sacrificed, their lives jeoparded,
their property injured, we would gladly j
banish it from tlio political text-book. We |
return, however, to our regular correspond- I
enco. j
The last few days have l>een very warm 1
?the thermometer ranging from 80 to 90
deg. in the shade. Many unused to tears,
nro daily in a "melting mood." If it were
not for the cording breezes from the Congaree,
and an abundance of ice* cream and
soda-water, we natives would really be in a
"fix." Many, however, will leave before
long for watering places at the North, or to
recreate awhile in the plesant villages of the
up-country. IIow will Greenville suit for a
summer retreat (Try it?Ed.)
We have to record the death of another
of rum's victims. Mr. -of Lexington
Uwtrict, fell off Ins wagon this morning,
while not in a sober condition, nnd was killed.
"In the midst of life we are in death."
Who will be responsible for the murder of
that unfortunate man, the ono who sold him
liquor or the Authorities who authorized it
to be sold!
We had the pleasure of greeting to day
the "Father Mathew" of South Carolina,
Judge J. Ik CNkall, who is at present in
our city.
Our citizens were gratified on Saturday
evening, at witnessing the evolutions of a
detachment from the "Richland Volunteer
Rifle Company." They acted admirably
and received encomiums of praise from all
present. That Corps intend "showing off"
on July. 4th, and if nothing happens "we
will bs thcrz ?roe," to report.
Hot weatfttr?want of news?and lazy
disposition must plead an excuse for our short
letter this week. Yfturs ever. X. Y. Z.
The will of Mrs. Emily Judson has been
made public. After providing for the comfortable
maintenance of her aged parents,
and the support and education of her daughter
and other children of Dr. Judaom, with a
small portion to each as they reach maturity,
and a few bequests to personal friends,
whatsoever may remain of her property is
given to the cause for which she wished
to live, in the same spirit that her venerated
husband so consistently exemplified.?
She was solicitous that the children left in
her guardianship should lack no good
that a christian parent could derive. The
only child of Mrs. Judson, a daughter, has
been taken home by Miss Anabta^of Philadelphia,
to whom she was long ago given.

The entire command of thin expedition
will be vented in ft gentleman of known ability
and skill, and whose urnto has already
become a household word with the citiscn*
of the United State*, in consequence of his
brilliant achievements and successful
uHivrc* while in command of a division of
the American army, during the late war between
the United States and Mexico.
The second in command will, in all probability,
be a "northern man with southron t
principle*,7 and who was also a commander
of a brigade in the same war, and w ho has
since held the office of Governor, and who
if we mistake not, still retains a prominent
civil position.
Gen. Gonsales, whose name has been associated
with this movement from the first,
will, without doubt, he third in command.

J. A. Kelley, Maj. Moore, Cnpt. W. 8. Edwards,

were intimately connected with the previous

exerting themselves in preparation for the
forthcoming struggle, and will ' be in nt the

The number of men that have enrolled

skilled in the use of fire-anne, and who are
determined to avenge the cowardly massacre
of Crittenden, Kerr and others in Havana,

Curious Historical Facta.
Thk wife tho of celebrated Lord Clarendon,
the author of the "History of the Rebellion,*
and a Welch pot-girl, who, being,
poor in her country, journied to Loudon to
better her fortune, and became servant to a
brewer. While she was in this humble capacity,
the wife of her master died, and ho
happening to fix his affections on her she
became Ins wife?himself dying soon after,
leaving her heir to his property, which is
said to havo amounted to between ?20,000
and ?30,000. Among those who frequented
the tap at the brewhouso was a Mr.
Hyde, then a poor barrister, who concieved
uic project ot forming a matrimonial alliance
with her. He succeeded, and soon led the
brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde being
endowed with great talent, and at the
command of a large fortune, quickly rose in
his profession, becoming head of the ChanceSlicnch,
and was afterwards the celebrated
yde, Earl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter,
the offspring of this union, won the heart
of James, Duke of York, and was married to
him.?Charles II, sent immediately for his
brother, and having first p'icd him with
some very sharp raillery on the subject, finished
by saying, "Jsmes, as you have brewn
so you must drinkand forthwith commanded
that the marriage should Ik> legally ratified
and promulgated. Upon the death of
Charles, James mounted the throne, but a
premature death frustrated this enviable consummation
in the person of his amiable
Duchess. Hor daughters, however, were
Queeu Mary, the wife of William,and Queen
Anne, both grandchildren of the ci-devant
pot-girl from Whales, and wore in succession
the crown of England.
An Ei.opemkkt.?A Mrs. Davidson, resida
few miles from Lawrencehurg, Kyn loft her
home on last Saturday, in company with a
married man, who was also hor brother-inlaw.
The guilty woman not only abandoned
him to whom she had pledged vows of
fidelity at the marriage altar, but also deser- ted
two helpless children, one of them not a
year old. Mr. D. was awakened about 12
o'clock on the night in question, by the
cougiu^g of Iiis youfc^sst child, and fVw? dw-!
covered thnt his wife had disappeared. The
nest was still warm, but the bird had taken
flight. Upon going to the door, be observed
the wife and her paramour a short distance
from the house, and at first determined to I
shoot them ; but, on reflection, concluded to
let them escape unbailed. The moat aggravated
feature of the case, however, and
that wRteh affected the forsaken husband
more than the loss of his frail partner, was,
that the man (whose name was not given)
had lx>rrowed money of him on Saturday
morning, which waa doubtless used in carry-1
ing off his wife! The runaways also took
with them a fine horse, valued at $150, a
gold watch, and Other articles of value.?

A New and Valuable Invention.?A
x ans lewer to tl?o IN-Y. Courier *ay? that the
Olympic Academy of Vicenzti Italy, having
carefully examined the discovery made by
their fellow citizen, Tremescliini, of electric
telegraph by secret transmission, ha* publicly
declared it to be a perfectly successful Invention.
The commission appointed to test
it* efficacy wa? eompo?>ed of the Councillor
Delegate of the Podesta, tlio Siqierior Commissary,
and the Academic Council. The
first experiment consisted in sending and receiving
a despatch in the common way,
without secrecy. In the second experiment,
a despatch was sent secretly, and the answer
received in the same manner, by the aid of
the new apparatus. In the third a despatch
was sent openly, and the answer received
secretly, to show that the secret apparatus
might be used or suspended at will. The
results of the inquiry show, 1st, That the apC,ratu?
of Tremeechini may be applied to
one's telegraph; 3d, That when the despatch
is sent secretly, it can only be received
so, any fraud in that respect being subject
to immediate detection; 9d, That secrecy
may be suspended or applied at pleasure.
