Apmopriutioo bill was defeated. On,
motion oiMr. Orr the vote was rtconsidcrw
and to-day the bill passed with the objeetiooj^lo
aiucndmtipts and propositions throv
aside. A bill liko<hia can summon to th<
contest many of tho antipodal squadrons nix
elements that other sttMU ti hare not th'
power to marshal. The opponents of tlx
uuuunisirnuon, tne economists, tlie disap
pointed men, who have need of dollars an>
cents appropriated for their respective local
ties, and the many who vote for a bill as th
best they could get, will bring into action u >
sufficient force for reconsideration. However,
as the bill is now only partially consid^
ered, as the Senate has to make liberal ndmr
ditions to it which is always (lone, the usual
^ report of all appropriation bills, especially
the Deflcioncy and tho General Appropriation,will
go t*> the Committee of Conference,
and thou compromise their respective claims,

The"Senate* after listening to the Nebraska
excitement and threatening* of the Northern
abolition* ts, hiupe reversed their vote on the
insane bill, supjwrtiug the veto by a majority
of six. It is the opinion that the Tlotucatead
bill will pass the Senate at the first opT

Congress will have hut little time to dis- f
pose of all these, should the appropriation
till ho pushed through, which is not at all
probable. Tho District appropriations were
defeatod, which has caused much resent-|
ment towards tho present Congress. Some
attribute it to a refusal to aid the Know-1
Nothings; others bring the opposition of
outside pressure against the Treasury as the j
objection; we have the money, and the protecting
it from outright depredation is the
adoption. The great rejoicings throughout
the land wore unexpected; the tolling of
bells, the feeling and humiliation that was
so devoutly aroused by those who looked to
the aggressive power of slavery, have not
yot developed the proceedings that took

Cholera?Harrow escape from being bur'*
ied Alive.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal,
writing under date of Manepy, Jaffna, Coy-1
Ion, April 12th, furnishes the following thrilling
accounts:
441 have alluded to the prevalence of cholera.
The ravages of the disease in the parish
of Manepy have been fearful. I never
before realized the presence of death as for
some time when the pestilence was at its
height. In some instances the attack seemed
to he nothing but death itself from the out-!
set, and tlm victim was hurried into the i
grave within eix hours, and even less, from i
_ a! ii - fl A ? * 1
me nine 01 me nrsi appearance 01 me dis- j
ease. The people havo such a fear of hav- ]
ing a corpse in the house that they bury as!
soon as possible after the breath has left the
body, and in some cases, we have reason to
lielieve, even before life is extinct Several
iustances of this kind have been reported,
and in regard to the death of some of the ,
native Christians by this disease, we have
jiad most paiuful suspicions and fears.
441 will mention one or two authentic
cases where jiersons narrowly escaped being
buried alive, as such instances may not be 1
without use as warnings, even in America :
One occurred in February, in a village (Asia-'
vority) adjoining Manepy. A person who
was attacked with cholera reoiiested liis I
friends not to btiry him nt once if ho died,
but to wait for some tirrie. He died within
eight or nine hours, a* was supposed, when ;
liis friends, without regarding liis plainly cx-'
pressed wish, prepared for the interment;!
but one of them, having recalled the dying
man's request, delayed the funeral three or 1
Ibur hours. Meanwhile the body moved,!
and the man asked for congy or gruel ; the
heat of the body returned, and the man has
since regained his usual health. Again, on-1
ly a few Sabbaths mornings since, a teacher
in thr Sabbath school at this station?which
school, by the way, has been entirely broken
up for more than three months by the cholera?pointed
out to me a little girl, a meml?er
of his class, who was supposed to have
died ; but as it was iate in the afternoon
she was wrapped in a inat?nearly all arc
buried hero without coffins of any sort?and
the corpse left till morning for interment.?

Mr. Editor :?In your paper of last week
I see your correspondent " Fair Play," puts
a number of queries to the minority on the
question of the Baptist Female College. 1
suppose he is disposed to keep up the recdrd
true and unmistakable?a thing for which
the minority themselves professed to have
u wonderful.hankering at the outset. But
you may rest assured that the day is not
very far distant ,when they will bo disposed
to harm the record, and have all their present
actings and doings upon this College
question forgotten. The position some of
thein occupies upon various points, would
not suit many others but themselves, and
it will soon be found to suit them as little as
any one else. All they have to do to become
exceedingly leg weary, is to just hold
on where they now are. The people are
looking in and notching down indelibly,
many passing events, and long before the
present generation shall have passed away
?there are many now living who won't
know themselves, without first bitinej their
own finger. It is somewhat of a case, surely,
that the owner of the Glcnns Spring
Episcopal Female Cdjlege, while laboring to
build up that Institution (a tiling which all
admit lie a right to holds ozi to a
trusteeship in the Greenville academies, and
by his action indirectly says, "You shant
have a rival College spring up here. Although
he can't be ignorant of the fact that
three-fourths of the people of the Town, and
I think it will he universally admitted that
more than niue-tenths of the people of the
country are exceedingly desirous that i*
should be done.
It won't do to say in rep'y that lie too wants
the college in Greenville, and that it is only
the transferor the Academy lands to which
he objects. The majority, each inan of
them, have rights in the academy lands,
equal to his own, and as they compose full
three-fourths of the community, they think
and will continue to think, that they have
almost as much right to their say-so, as the
onedburth who oppose.

, thought that a resignation as irvtttt wouM

bavecome in most appropriately. U was

aow cut off. The patties to the bill In Eq- t
uity are made up. The protestants have t
their three names affixed. The record in t
this, as well as in many ot^gr respects will I

wise,* are these men who promised to cense <
opposing as soon m au unmistakable irihjor- t
[ity of the people was ascertained to be Ja i
favor of the transfer, concerned in the Equi- i
ty court opposition 1" I would only say i
that 1 have heard it confidently asserteJ re- <
pentedly, that that pledge had been made <
unequivocally more than once, by one of the .
individuals whose natnc now stands arrayed
amongst the three protectants. He may be
able to explain this seeming want of a redemption
of his pledge?I cannot, and yet |

For the Southern Enterprise. .
A/k JBilitot:?Anderson being a competitor
of Greenville for the Female College,
uses those weapons with which she tried
to defeat the Furman University at this place
but the prudeuoo and firmness of an nble
faculty hath dispelled those evil forebodings
and nothing is more requisite at this time
than a vigorous and united effort to secure
the greatest boon that was ever offered to
mothm. If Female education at home, like
heavenly blessings in di*guiso, steals imp
er ceptibly oh the soul, improves the intellect,
and makes groat men from much
greater and better materials, educated mothers,
who no callous who sO luwi, iu every
virtuous principle, as to desire to throw our
weight and influence against the interest of
our own Mountain home to secure perpetuity
in scholarships, to less formidable reveals
less numerically and entirely inferior in local
advantages ; and the misconception of the
I advantage* to l>e derived from the proximi- '
ty of the College to the Furiunn Institute is 1
n strategy to drive us from our local ndvan" 1
tages and locate it iu their Eden's Garden,
after our expulsion. A brother's protection, j 1
a brother's society, and a brother's tender ('
solicitude for an affectionate sister, would, in '
j
ihe absence of a father, constitute hiin the '
guardian of her personal reputation. 1
It is indeed strange that those calling
themselves christians, no matter of what denomination
should refuse to aid the progress
of Female education, and with an illibcrality
not extended to any by the 13aptist and with
boasting refusal to lend even their best wishes
iu a laudable enterprise. Such unfortunate
divisions, none gave quietus to tho eon- >
science, nor worth to the man, and many of

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASTRONOMY.
It was probably a clear evening in Autumn, j
when the sun had sunk beneath the western
horizon, and night had thrown her dark
shade, upon the earth, that the l'salmist, after
Brazilur un into the l.lne vault I......
, c, O . -
i gave vent to one of the most remarkable er-1
i 1 1
pressions of humnlity find gntitude, that, per-j
! haps, ever emanated from the pen of an inspired
writer?44 O I Lord who is man that
Thou art mindful of liini?** The Psalmist
must have had, comparatively speaking, a t
very imperfect know ledge of the science of
astronomy. Yet wo must not suppoee that i
he looked on the numerous stars, that glitter- 1
ed over the broad expanse of heaven, as mere j
ornaments or lights; which the Creator had
plaeed for the convenience and purposes of
this earth. But by the aid of divine.inspiration,
and, perhaps, the inaoy observations he
had made, from tho time he was an humble
shepherd watching his flocks by night, he
was enabled to view them in their true light;
as worlds of vast proport:'ans, scattered
throughout the immensity of space, and wisely
concluding, that the Almighty would not
have made such immense worlds without1
placing creatures of intelligence upon them, i
tA A/1inirc on/1 ?n/tel?a '
w MMtKMv wiv? ?uu nv*ao vi uivir vrcntor;
it is no wonder that he thus expressed
his astonishment that the Almighty would
condescend to take knowledge of inun, a
mere worm of the dust; or even this earth,
which is only an atom iu the great works of
creation.
The science of astronomy, as history in
forms us, "has, in all ages, engaged the attention
of the poet, the philosopher, and the
divine, and been, the subject of thicr stay
and admiration." Although there were many
very important discoveries, made in this
science, at different periods of the world, yet
it did not arrive to any degree of perfection,
nntil about the 15th century. Since that
time, by the invention of large teleseopsa, and
the untiring labors of more modem astronomers,
ft has attained to such a degree of perfection,
as to fill the grind with wonder and j
amazement. '
trationsof this scieuco, we are enabled to conempluto
millions of worlds, a thousand times
Hrger than this earth, some, of which, arc
noviug at the auuiziug velocity, of a hundred
housand miles on hour; all in perfect hnrliony,
our nijmls arc filled with the greatest
istonishmont. Such objects and motions, as
ins, are well efrlcurjtted to give us a proper
dea of the stupendous works of nature; and,
vhen seriously contemplated, cannot fail to
nspire us, with the most lofty conceptions
>f that Being, who k the maker and uphold*
:r of all things.
The study of aatrouotny, tends greatly to
promote morality and religion; to expand
he mind, and ennoble the character of man,
rhe thoughts and actions of men in a great
noasure correspond ; if, therefore, they are
iccustomed to contemplate such sublime subect
as this study presents, they will not- adlictcd
to low and vicious pursuits.
I can only allude, here, to the importance
>f this science as connected with some of the
uost useful terrestrial arts and sciences;
ffhieh owe a great deal to it, for tho degree
>f perfection to which they have attained.
From such considerations as these, is it not
to be feard that this study is to much negleced,
in our academies and lower institutions
>f learning, throughout tho country ? But
tome, perhaps, think that this study is beyond
the comprehension,and will not interest
he juvenile mind; but a little reflection aud
ixperieuce might show them their error. I
luivC often noticed that the youthful mind
will soon become interested, when you speak
sf the various phenomena of the Solar System
; such as the nature and cause of eclipses
?the appearance of the moon when viewed
through a telescope?the probable cause of
tho Sun's brightness?or tho relative magnitude
aud distance of the planets. Or if, on
a clear evening, you direct their attention to
the various constellations, which compose the
fixed stars?the animals they represent, and
[lie names of the principal stars; they will
not soon forget them.
And here, I would remark, how important
it is, that youths should lajcome early interested
in such studies as this ; for, while they
liave n tendency to expand their minds, they
ilso learn to look on the vain inuseinents and
Measures of this world, with less importance.

The Fortunes of Paskie witch.
The cause of the high favor enjoyed hy
Pnskiewitch, add which, unjustified by tal?m
or success, has caused so many suppositions,
is entirely owing to the fatalism which it is
known is peculiar to the Russian Czars, and
of which their history has given ample proof.
During the occupation of Paris by the allied
armies, a grand mass being eelebrntod on the
Place de la Concorde, in honor of the Allied
Sovereigns, Paakie witch was appointed to the
command of the guard of honor placed at
the foot of the altar, which was elevated on a
sea Holding more than forty feet high, towering
above the vast crowd assembled there and
visible to the furthermost extremity of the
of the Champs Klyseea. It would seem that
Paskiewitch, a young man then, found more
intercut in onrliiii* tlu> l'nrij luilioo 1.1^.1
.?u.w
there in immense numbers and in splendid
toilets to witness the ceremony, for from his
lofty position he beheld n well-known little
actress of tho Varieties endeavoring in vain
to make her way to tho front ranks in order
to get a better view of the ceremony. Paskicwitvh.
with true Polish gallantry immediately
descended the steps of the estrade, an^L
ottering his hand to the lady, procured hefs
seat on the bench reserved to the officers of
the guard.
This feat achieved to his satisfaction he, was
about to regaiu his place, when a loud crash
was heard ; the ill-joined boards had given'
awav, and the three superior officers?comrades
of Paskiewith in that day's duty?were
precipitated to tho pavement below, whence
they were borne, crushed and dying, to the
hospital, llad Puskiewitch not left the place
for those few moments, he too had been
among the victims of the catastrophe. The
story was told at the banquet given that day
by the Prince Talleyrand to the sovereigns.
The Emperor Alexander alone was silent
amid the exclumatious elicited by tho good
r..-? e ti 1 j j -
iviMuiu ui iiw aiu-cic-camp; out, on retiring
from the bampiet, lie sent for liuskiewitch,
and accosted him in his usual mysterious
manner: "Providence has evidcutly some
great design upon this man," said he, as he
examined Trim attentively. "From what country
are you 1" "From Litliuuia, your Majesty."
"Ah, Polish?so much the better?
L love the Poles. You are a fortunate man,
it appears. Providence has visibly protected
you this day. I love men who are tortunate.
' Vou shall enter my guard. Meanwhile, the
command of a brigade of Grenadiers is vacant
; it is at your service."
It is entirely from this event that the for
tunes of the Marshal take their date. The
luch of I'askiewitch has hitherto justified the
unticipatiou of the Czar; but he is how an okl
man, and "Fortune loves not the aged," said
Louis Quutorzo to Villars after his disastrous
! campaign in Fluudcrs. It is said that Pas,
kiowitch is far from sharing the blind confit
dence reposed in him by b ieholas, and that
i if he accepted the command of the arrav oi
I of the Danube it was because he durst not
i refuse. No reasoning is su tiered to weigh
against the command of the army of the
Danube it was because he durst not refuse.
' No reasoning is suffered to weigh against the
' commands of despotism, and the opposition
of good sense would he deemed rebellion
' and disobedience. Paskiewitch, born in 1777,
r is nearly 80 years of age; but the Czar is sab
' Utied. It is not a soldier he has placed at
' the head of bis Danubiau army ; it m the star
r of Russia! lie slumbers on in peace, while
' Paskiewitch trembles with dismay; he known
' that all Russians are equal before Siberia;
1 | his name is suspended on the chances of a
" | battle; and be is com do! led to beorfn life snow
11 when but a single span divides him from the
