FROM WASHINGTON.
[Correspondence 01 tlie Carolinian.]
WttsHixaTov, Aug. 4.
To-day is tlve day for tho adjournment of
CongrAj, agreeably to joint resolution of both
House*; As is usual during the last days of
n session, much confusion and. precipitate action
upofeineasures arc created, and tlie only
subjoct or moment that usually engages the
conclusion is tho general Appropriation bill.
But as it was foreseen that some difliculty 1
would result from a postponement to the hist
moment, a timely reference was had, and
tho determined pertinacity of each could be
ascertained beforo tho various amendments
proposed by the respective bodies.
About three o'elock this morning the Civil
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was
]>as&ed by both houses?the House carrying
their point and neling tho conservative in I
.. < rt . ? % a.
inaucrs 01 unauce, m wiucu Uiey foci n more i
immediate responsibility than the other j
branch, who look boyoml the crude notions
of those who pretend to assume the sponsorship
for the treasury.
Tlio friends of?the Hivcr and IIarl*>r Bill
exhibited much anxiety to have it pressed to
a vote, xvhich was carried, and it is reported
that tho President, anticipating its passage,
immediately returned it with a veto message
cut and dried. Why tho anxiety to fight
over a matter that had so littlo to hope for?
Tlio Scnnto'a Foreign Affairs Committco
reported, through Mr. Mason, against the
proposition to plnco ten millions at the Presidents
command, to bo used iu tho event of
an emerggnoy with our Spanish relations.?
So Cuba nraa over for further diplomacy.?
How it istooe mado ours is not easily to bo
ascertained. Tlio government of Span is
j'et without stability, and tho instability of
its condition would favor its acquisition. But
there seems to bo no <lispos\^on in Congress
to further any efforts for the accomplishment
of that purpose.
Tho Senate confirmed a number of appointments,
among them the Consul to London? ;
(Jen. Campbell, of Texas, formerly of South
Carolina. Mr. liarron, of Miss, for Havana.
A bill to carry out tho provisions of the
Reciprocity treaty was passed. It is regarded
as a very important and advantageous
agreement, and u also an Administration
measure. Tho opposition to the Administration
docs not assume a formidable body

garded as consonant with the shaping of future
issues, is the only means of getting a
determined contested vote.
The investigating ooiu m it tees have reported
on die Colt case, and Gen. Bayly is turned
over U> tho next session, which is equal
to a judgement by default. Both have resulted
in establishing nothing against the
parties. There were three reports mado on
tho (Jolt case, which included tho expression
of what a member of Congress should bo.?
It is, however, pretty well established that
there arc some improper men in Congress,
and as they established a modfl, why not
show them up.
The Minnesota Land Bill was repealed,
from which resulted the resolution proposed
by Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, for the expulsion
of John \V. Forney, Clerk of tho House.?
The vote was 155 to IN, a large and substantial
vindication upon that charge. The
indictment is specific. "Whatever may have
been the intention of tho parties interested

Congress will adjourn at 8 a. m. on Monday
next- No proposition, other than for
adjournment, will be entertained after -1 p.
in. to-day, which was agreed to l>y the .Senate.
The time is given that the business
may be brought forward by the oleihs during
the required period for enrolment, signatures,
Ac. Congress low adjourned sine
, 0iifi to all intents and purposes from 4 p. in.
to-day. Members are leaving for their homes
and soon the busy appearance of legislation
will be quieted in the Federal city.
It is reported that Francis Hurt, Esq., 3d
Auditor, has been tendered the Governorship
of Nebraska, though it is not known that
he will accept.
Inquisitiveness.
* '11 io Yankees complain sometimes of our'
southern society, that our conversation nd
inits of two little tiftcdoin in asking questions.
There is, perhajw, some foundation for the
uliservation, but we think it much the best
side in which to err. Tho Yankees uiuloubtly
owe pinch of their general information,
and of their practical tact, to the universal
habit that prevails among them, of pumping
every laxly on every subject. This habit so
distinguishes tho New Englander that ho is
promptly recognized in every quarter of the
worlu.. And as lie is generally taken abroad
. ' '
# i?ft jh H-piwcnuiuvu ui uiu country at iar?jc,1
* iwv&nUiC characteristic has come'to ho attri- j
hujfcd to the people of the south as well as
v those of thf north. It is time that this indis-!
criminate ascription cf a Lad habit to all A-1
incricaiis should be corrected, and that an ef- j
fort should be luado by those most inilueu-.
tial in forming the popular bus to, to haa<|^nhst
tho customs of tlio several poilioTTOof I
the Uaion a recurreueo to correct principles.
The fieople of Now England do certainly
carry their proponsitv for inquiry too far, and
very o f*n render themselves disagreeable, j
and their conversation offensive by curiously
prying into the private, personal affairs of
others. it requires much judgment and dis- j
erction to acquire information with a due
regard to delicacy and propriety. We are
free however to admit that tho aversion the
southern jwjople manifest for this peculiarly
of the Yankees is cultivated too studiously
by many. It is a great harrier to the forma- j
tion of acquaintance, and renders us slow in I
appreciating character. Much useful information
is thereby lost, and an incubus hangs,
upon social intercourse which teqnircs only j
a little more freedom to refoove. it. The
proper medium is to abstain from ftH excessive
curiumty, and particularly from ques- j
lions of too personal a diameter, whilst we,
0 endeavor to avoid a eold, ungracious manner, |
and ah air of iodh#*viica towur<U tho con-j

ENCOURAGING.
Our thanks arc respectfully tendered to
two fair friends, residing in this District, for
a list of sixteen subscribers, accompanied by
the cash, and the promise that they would
send us many more. This is the highest 1
compliment we have received from any <ju;vr- ,1

uro we mako tho announcement. Wo shall;
over evince our gratitude to tho ladies of tho .

as acceptable in future, as tho past numbers
have given satisfaction. No one need fear

THE MAILS. .
Eveky one is complaining more or loss of.
the irregularity of the mails, and nono has
greater cause of complaint than ourselves.
For the last few days we have missed getting
our most valuable exchanges, preventing us
from giving much late news. Last week we j
received our Columbia correspondent's letter
too late for insertion, although post-marked
three days before the issue of our paper.? j
Our subscribers arc continually falling in up-'
on us on account of the non-reception of our j
paper. Somo of our packages intended for j
Chick's Springs, (only ten miles distant) have ^
been on the road two weeks. We cannot
divine the cause; ,of jcoursewo cannot attach
blame to any one, TTGt wo do think, for the
the benefit of all, both subscribers and editors,
that things should " have a change."
With all wc havo suffered, .and for all that
we havo said, we expect no better treatment.
PARIS MOUNTAIN.
Attention is directed to the advertisement'
of Mr. IIilliiol'se to be found in another1
column. We have but recently enjoyed the !
comforts and luxuries afforded at the Muun- j
tain House, and can assure those desirous of j,
visiting that delightful place, that while they
will he pleased with the beautiful prospects
around and about them, and refreshened
with the cool and bracing atmosphere of the
place, the inner manner will sutler no detriment
by taking a sent at the table of the
gentlemanly proprietor.
Apropos, of ParU Mountain. Whilst
there we hail the pleasure of meeting soino
of our friends, among them James Ti*pi?kr,
Esq., who was enjoying himself apparently
with a visit of a few days to the Mountain.
Wo were truly glad to meet him, giving us
an opportunity of rcncwingour acquaiutanco
which had become quite neglected for a year
or so. We like him?lie gave us wholesome
advice, advice at once tangible and easily
followed.
Mr. IIn.Miot'SE thinks of having, by
next summer, provided the encouragement
he receives will warrant him, a new road
made from his house to the village, which
will cause it to bo reached at a distance of
only six miles, (at present something over
eight} and more easy of access. Ihwalso has i
an idea of erecting a tower upon the Moun-1
tain, and furnishing it with a Spy-glass, |
which w ill afford a more discernible appear- j
nncc to the distant and surrounding objects |
than the one lie has, although it is a very j (
good one. With it, Bpartanburg village, i
a distance of thirty miles, can bo easily dis- '
tinguished upon a clear day.
One more word. If you have not been
there, oo. If you have?oo again.
1:WHAT A FALL MV COUNTRYMEN!"
A son of the Green I.do, stopping in our 1
village, a few evenings sineo became some- '
what inflated with the "spirits of corn juice,'1
and, imagining himself going to bed, took
to the platform of a second floor to one of
our village woik-sliops. During tho night
it appears that he became dry?the cravings ,<
of his thristy spirit was " water! water l11 and ,
in the effort to get. from otr his bed procipitnted
himself from a height of near ten feet,
alighting upon a "dead level.11 We havo
not been informed how he picked himself up,
but so it wits lie found his lodgings, and is
now, although at first considered seriously injured,
slowly recovering from tho oftW.t* of
getting liigli.
A PICTURE.
Tijk following is clipped from tho local
column of the Wheeling Times of Friday :
'Two persons cmne out of ono tavern on
Wednesday evening-with the mania a potu,
raving ina<l, three Irishmen lay dead at the
samo time in one house, while tweuty drunken
men and women wcro dancing around
their bodies; at the same time, too, the elerk
of tho circuit court issuing fourteen writs of
mandamus on the clerk of tho city, by order
of tho judge of court, to inquire whyibesuid
clcik did not issue a license to fourteen persons
to sell liquor.'

THE NEW ORDINANCE. j
For tlie information of our town bubecii-1
>ers wo publish, in to-day's paper, the late i
Ordinance. Wo do not know why a copy
was not fu rotated ua for publication, or up6n
.vhat principle they bestow their advertising
patronage. Perhaps our worthy Intendaut
and f>Sttbem of *hn Council, vfcro not aware *
that" our paper has a bona fido circulation of *
oifb'hundred and thirty copies within tho '
corporulo limits of Greenville village, and '
rend by at least two hundred of the voters 1
and citizens. Wo take this occasion of saying,
without meaning to boast or disparage '
tho circulation of our friends, that wo knqw (
of but four places of business or of work in 1
town, whore the " Enterprise" has not a
subscriber?at ono place alone, wo have :
twelve subscribers, all of whoiu ate tax payOnipnnd
votc:s. We only state this in order 1
that we may not be hereafter pcoscribod for '
bavin" the smallest local circulation.
' A groSRW." 1
We noticed in the last Southern Itiyhls ,
Advocate tliat tlic Town Council ?of Andor- .
son had at length chartered r Grocery in their
midst. Wo presume that friend Kick noticed
it merely as a piece of information to l:is
reader?, and not that lie was glad such a ^
thing had been instituted in the place. Of
all the detectable and most to be dispised
places which a town may be said to contain, ^
we con ider "a grocery''?a three cent dog- ,
gory?the greatest. A licensed grocery is a 1
disgrace to any place or to any commun- ^
itv. Men will drink liquor, license or
no license, but wo can seo no fjotxl reason
even from this fact, why a grocery should be
established to meet the wants of tlioso who
will drink it. If they will drink, as drink
they will, " city fathers " should not become ;
aceessoi ics to the erection of such sinks of pollution.
We think that we are supported in
this belief by nil good citizens, a? well as by ,
a majority likely to support ouch places.? *
Our opinion of a grocery is: wore nil other ^
bad places ami menu mf.ucnoc-s brought to
. 1 <
boar upon a community, they would not j
corrupt its morals onc-lialf tho extent
which one of these corrupting contaminating
hell-homes alone can exert. Should we cv- .
er be called upon to mourn the existence of
such a thing in Greenville, wo would annouuee
ft with the r*g*ut dial those having
in charge tho well being of our citizens hud
so far forgotten themselves that, for a few pieces
of silver, thev lmd bartered the lives and
I
characters of their sons, and laid open the ^
way for their wives and daughters to be in- ,
suited at every corner with tho taunts nnd 1
jests, curses and in titterings of the depraved ,
inmates and votaries of a " dram shop."?
Our wish is, may Anderson, which h;ui for
some lime been free from such a thing as a
grocery, stop its career. Wo seldom conn- ;
sel violence, bat wo do think that the mothera
and daughters of that delightful village
would v. in for themselves names no lo? worthy
of fame than those of the Kevolution,
were they to demolish and crush it even 1
while in its infancy. Perhaps wc have said
too much, hut, with perfect nonchalance, we
Jon'l care.

COL. ORR IN THE CHAIR.
Wc append the subjoined high compli- 1
incut to our esteemed l'opreaentativc from '
the Washington Ulur, of the 1st inst:
44 We havo seen every member preside, who
has been called to the Chair in tho last ele- :
ven years. Among them all, no one has i
managed matters more successfully than Mr. I
Orr, who is now presiding over the Committee
of the Whole on tho state of the Union,
the Civil and Diplomatic appropriation bill
?the great measure of the balance of the
? i _; i ? -
session?uciug under consideration. Jlis
readiness is rciuarkabie, considering the little '
experience lie lias had in the position, far '
nioro trying at this period of a session than
fit any other. His particular aim must necessarily
l>e to drive bm-incss with a rush, the
art of doing which, evidently, no one understands
better than he. Quickness of apprehension
is a prominent trait of his character
bs a public man, if it is not his most remarkable
legislative trait. Thus, in the midst of
confusion wftrse confounded, with the voices
of from two to twenty members ringing over
the Ilidl. his own clear voice never fails to he
heard above all others, and to keep every ,
member present thoroughly posted as to the
precise condition of the business l?efore them. 1
If howvar lers ready and lo*s tact,hc could uot J
succeed in so doing; but he seems intuitively ^
to know what motions or reotiesU, if granted, (
will probably end in ty^gg tI?o House ottfchi .
a knot or gdfcing up a snarl on the tlooflBd
ho avoids hearing them, with judgeme&WRd j
discretion, which save an immensity of bother
at such a time. Indeed, he is the only J
member wo ever saw in tho chair, who can .
can l?o relied on never to permit busiucss defeating
confusion to reign iu tho Ilall, in the j
expiring hours of a session. It is impossible .
to describe his tact iiy?tcering tlio over man- ,
neu jjarquo, wiin iw crow as vociferous as (
tirock sailors in" a storm, amid tho heat,,
noise, bustle, over-eagerness of some, and J
anduo listlcssncsft of others, which always
characterise tho dying days of a session of
tho House of Representatives?every avenue
to the House being crowded tho while, with .
u deeply interested shuffling, buzzing and 1
sweating crowd, to -heighten tho poufusiou
and oxciteinout reigning.

VETO OF THE IlIVEK AXU lIAFWOn UILt,
To the House qf Representatives: \
I liavo received tho bill entitled "an act J
making appropriations for tho repair, proser- '
ration and completion of certain public
ivorks heretofore commencod under authori- i
Ly of law. It reaches me iu the expiring
11.ours of tho session, and time dops not allow 1
*4flyi opportunity of examining and considering
its provisions, or of stating at length
the reasons which forbid ino to give it iny
signature. It belongs to that class of incaa- \
ares which are commonly known as internal
improvements by the gcucral government,
ind which, from a very early period, have
t>een dccined of doubtful constitutionality
md expediency, and have thus failed to ob- 4
tain the approbation of successive Chief Mag- '
istrates.
Ou such an examination of this bill as it
has been in my power to make, I recognize
n it cortain provisions, national in their uharuter,
and which, if they stood alone, it
tvouhl be compatible with my convictions of 1
">nblie dutv to .'issolit to. but st the nam#
3ino it embrace* other** which arc merely lo
yd, and not, in mv judgement, warranted by
my safe or truo?construction of the constitu- 1
ution. To luuke proper and sound ducrim- '
nation between u^eso different provisions 1
nrouhl rcjuiro a deliberato dii*cN!wioii of gen- '
ifal principles a* well as a careful scrutiny of '
IctiuU for the purpose of rightfully apply. 1
ng those principles to each Hciwrate ituui of '
ipproprfnli*^ v '
I'ubli. with regard to the vulyo 1
rfd hnportiwlco of internal improvements
i this country is undivided. There is n diaosition
on all hand? to havo them prosecute!
with energy, and to seo the benefits
wight to be obtained by them fully realized.
Tie prominent point of difference between
liose who navo been regarded as tho friends
f a system of interna! improvement by the
Jeneral Government, and thoso adverse to
ueh a system, has been one of constitution,1
power,, though more or less conncetcd with
[uostions of expediency. My own jinlgonent,
it is well kuown,lins ou both grounds
ecu opposed to a general system of internal
approvements by tub Federal Government,
have entertained the most serious dOubts
roni the inherent difficulties of its application,
as well as from past unsatisfactory cxixperieneo
by the General Government, as to
onder its use advantageous to the conntry at
aige or effectual for the accomplishment of
ho object contemplated.
1 shall consider it incumbent upon tno to
present to Congress at its next session a in a
urea view of the whole subject, and to en[e;ivor
to dcline, approximately at least, and
iccording to my own convictions, what appropriations
of llii.v nature by tlio (icueral
iovcrnnient the great interests of tho United
hates require, and the Constitution will adnit
and sanction, in ease no substitute should
>e devised capable of reconciling diilieultks
>oth of constitutionality and expediency.
In the absence of the requisite means and
inie for duly considering the whole subject
it the present, and discussing such possible
ubstituto, it becomes necessary to return the
>ill to the House of Representatives, in which
t originated, and for tho reasons thus
iriefly suhmitted to the consideration of Congress
to withhold from it my approval.

More Territories
Indian Hijircsentaliuai in Cohgrtss. It is
laid by tho Washington correspondent of

These tribes wcro to be allowed six
nonths to consider tho matter, and the government
has made glowing promises of aid

In connection with tlie purposo of the fore
Djoing article, wo append a few general hints
jn a severe and not unfrequcntly a fatal
ywuality, which is apt to occur during the
liot months of our summer, especially among
those engaged in netivo and violent exertion
while ox)x>soil to the hot ray# of the sua, and
lience colled couj*-tft'-xoliel, or gun-itroke.
Many fatal, errors are committed in the
first moments of alarm on the occurrence of
this accident?errors, tho evil consequences
of which all the subsequent skill and care of
tho physicians aro sometimes ineffectual in
remedying. The prominent symptoms of
the attack aro giddiness, faintness, amounting
in some instances to comploto iusensibilitv
or apparent death.
Tho first and the best thing to he accomplished,
is to remove the patient into a cool
room or shady spot, laying him carefully on
ihe back, with the head very slightly, if at
all, raised, riend for a physician. Sprinkle
the face with c<x>l water, untie all strings,
handkerchief, or bandages from the throat,
chest or waist. Hub the hands and feet
briskly, and if the patient can swallow, administer
a little brandy and water, or a littlo
spirits of hartshorn in water, in small
quantities at a time. Promote free rospiraUon
by fanning preventing to tho crowding
W persons around. Prevent strcnonsly the
the driukiug of largo draughts of cold water,
however urgent the request of tho patient
inny be. until recreation takes place.
If there should he any delay iu the arri
vnl of a physician, and the patient should not
rally, the rubbing of the-limbs must bo continued,

connrrchensivo knowledge that lias not beett

latest letter wo find the following prediction :
"And I now ven|m-e to predict that,in the

Tin key will bo compensated for the nominal

Slavery.?Tho Springfield Foal say;
"Slavery exists hero?slavery which is involuntary?it
exists among tho white laborers
of the north. Thousands are compelled by
circumstances, which hind them hko fetters
of iron, to yield their independence of
thought and action to the rule of other men.
To redress tho wrong.* of sneh, and to elevate
their condition from ono of tho galling
servitude to the independence which befit*
American freemen, affords work enough for
an our philanthropy; and if we succeed hero,
our cxnuiplo would bo much more potent ill
persuading tho south to dispense with slavery,
than if woindulgein harsh denunciations
against negro slavery, and neglect to apply
correctives to tho various forms of oppression
in existence among ourselves."
jpyOnr readers will rememl>or that we
gave them an account last week of the finding
of tho young lady who left Charlotte
a few weeks since, and cutcrcd a swamp with
the intention of |?criabing herself to death,
on account of the inconstancy of a young
man to whom she was engaged. From a
lato Charlotte Whig we copy the lost chapter
of tho romiince:
"Quito an agreeablo sensation was excited
in our community on Saturday ovening last,
by the spreading of a rumor, which turned
out to be tnio, that J. II. Moore, the hero of
the romantic love afiair with Miss Parks,
had arrived in towu by the care, and unobserved,
had made his way to the house of
Mr. Parks, where, in a few moments, with
tho aid of the Clerk's Licence, and the presence
of the Parson, the silkin cords ofinatri
inony were twined around two willing hearts.
A spirit of repeutauco had ovortal ea the hero
in his wild wanderings in tho South, and
upon learning in Charleston that his betrothed
wwt still alive and convalcsant, he
determined at once to return homo and repair
the injury, which his conduct had afflicted.
lie has done so, and thus healed
broken heart: and a continuation of virtuous
conduct, and an unswerving devotion to
the spirit of his hymeneal vows, is all that ia
necessary for hiin to do in order to f*?toro
the conhdence of his friends, and aotisfjr and
conciliate an indignant public sentiment." .
Uouraa have hocorao so bohl in Wash- ?
iiigton city, that thoy now enter a man's
house, after his family have retired, light the
gas in the dining room, spread the table, set
out the good things in the larder, and quie^
ly sit down and ??joy themselves, never failing
to wind up with wine, nuts, and segarn.
TJ?c inoal over, they ransack tho bed-chambors,
and carrv off money, jewelry, aud whatever
other-valuables they can lay their bands
