Prom tho N?v Or 1 unrig Picayune,
Tito Administration and A Hext Congro.X
, Tjt the last Congress tho non-slitveholding j
States sent ninety members iofiiendty Pierce,
aqjl fifty-one opposed to him. Tho Courier of
New "i ork, commenting on tho result of the _
Congressional elections in Connetticut, and
Rhode Island, which completed the list of
those elections in tho Northern States, estimate,
that in tho next Congress only twenty- .
three will have been chosen who are friends
of this administration, while the entire num- f
her of opposition members will bo found, to
bo one hundred and sixteen. Of these, many ^
were elected as members and representatives t
of tho American party, somo as Free Soilers, ,
others as Whigs, and some others as Fusion
ists?that is, men elected by a fusion of scvoral
parties in one, for tho attainment of a
victory over some obnoxious candidate. I
Beyond nil doubt, the Nebraska question i
cute rod very largely into (Lis general contest ,
for members of Congress in three Stales.?
That it would do so, and that tho result '
would bo what^t lias proved, was anticipa- '
ted from tbo onset; for there has never been <
any doubt that the sentiment of the North .
was opposed to tho action of the hist Con- ?
gress^on that qnostion. Ihit it was not 011
this.question alone, or mainly, that this wonderful
revolution, upon which tlio Courier '
comments, was affected. The true cause
lav farther down, at the foundation of this
achievement. IIqd there been 110 agitation
of or action on the Missouri compromise !
question, in the last Congress, this resolution 1
must have happened at this time and in this '
way. It has been but the inevitable result \
Ot me-wtjre well Wlrcn?taken upon nnnci- if
plevcnrcfully concieved, firmly carried out, 1
and nfnde operative to the accomplishment
of 21 %ed and settled design?a design as '
yet Iwrpartially executed, but still advancing ,1
steadily and surely to its fulfillment.
And now turn wo our eyes towards the j
Southern states and see what lias already
beeu done, what is doing, and what is likely |
tu be done therein, towards giving a coin-i1
pl&tion to the next Congress.. Again we !
take the C<Mi-icr's figures.
VVc find that only four of tho slavehold- ,
ing Stales have as yet elected congressional ]
representatives, to wit: Missouri, South i
Carolina, Fforifla, and Arkansas. With tho (
exception of Missouri, which has elected one '
administration member to six opposition, they i
have chosen cuti/e administration dclega- (
tions; yet, though the rest of the States',
should elect entire administration delegations,
the House of Representatives woldd bo decidedly
opposition.
But they will not elect administration delegations.;
on the contrary, tuey will eontrib- .,
lite very materially to swell the opposions to i
b the administration. The result of the approaching
elections in Virginia, iu Georgia, ;
in Kentucky, in Tennessee, and some other t
States wo might name, will, judging from re- i
cont and present appearances, demonstrate
this fact beyond gainsaying.
Contemplating thus tho now well assured "
fact that the Administration of Mr. Tierce' 1
will be in a woful minority, in the popular j
branch of the next Congress, and comparing j
ins position with wtiat it was but two briel ;
years ago, llic cheering reflection arises that| (
the people, though generous and trusting to j
those who promise to serve them and faithfullyjuid
truly, will, at the sumo time, hold . ''
them to a strict accountability for the man- jsi
nor in which they use or abuse the .powers j si
cot (tided to them, 1: lacked but such ait ad-' tJ
ministration as this lias proved; imbecile,1..
time-serving and contradicting every profes- j
^ion with wliich it started ; to give fresh j ^
nerve and new vigor to a movement which ; li
hadjts Hmt impulse in a distrust of exciting '
parties, of whatever name. Had this admin- ; (|
istration realized the hopes that its first pro- |
tensions in .pired, there would not have been i J1
so much cause for condulemcnt with it now. 11
liut as it has sown nothing but the wind, it1 a
can surprise no one that is now reaping only p
the whirlwind. >g

We saw yesterday in the Agricultural 10
liiire.au of the Pa tent Office, says the Wash- j
ington Slur of Wednesday, a beautiful sain- 1
pic of the wool of tiie Angora goat, from 1 '
Air. Diehard Peters, of Atlanta Georgia.? j
This specimen is very fine indeed, being j
- flomo teu Inches long, as soft and gloesv |
as silk, and pure white color. The goats i
from which this wool came are the produce ,
of an importation made by Dr. .Tames B. l>a- j c;
^ vis, of Columbia, South Carolina, in 1849? : ^
seven females and two males. The flock is]
nth/ owned by Mr. Peters, and numbers per- | "
haps, sixty. Dr. Davis is now about cm- . ?
barking for Persia to obtain more. The 's
yield of the fleece, in this oouutry, is from j n
four,to four-and-a-half pounds annually.*?
The experiment of introducing these goats i
into the United States has boea entirely sue- i
cessfol, the yield hero being much greater (
.A^jan in Asia Minor, where it ranges from one
fb four pounds. The only embarrassment to f
their rapid increase among us thus far is the ?
fact that the male.-, borfi in tho flock greatly t
outnumbers the female*,?Savannah Gear- t

Dear jSir:?I am still in tho "QueenCity "
of the South," ami. now resume my pon to 1
giro you some of the dottings down for the ^
last few days. On Tuesday morning I visited
the Medical College, Marine Hospital,, 11

with able physicians, and nre' ?ttr- .

wants and suliering e.uidi: i> >n. Connected
with thfc Medical College, there is a splendid '
anatomical Mqseum, calculated, I should] j
judge, to aid the Medical Student very much :

this Collego aft extensive viow of the city | v
anil harbour can bo obtained. It was i ^
through tlic kindness of my young friend ' ^
Mr. J. M. Field, that, I gained admission J
into these institutions. Mr. Field is a Medi- i ^
cal Student from an adjoiuing District to j,
. Greenville, and is attending a summer course! |
; of lectures.
j On Tuesday night, in company with Lieut. J;
i Davis of the United States Army, and otliJ
crs, I attended the "Stato Institute Fair.*'?* j C
Tho hnll of flic Institute wns brilliantly illu-| j.
1 minatcd, and the thousand and one articles
, o
on exhibition werd displayed to admirable
advantage. There was a splendid baud
discoursing sweet music to the crowded hall,
and imparting a zest and liveliness to tho ^
occasion. In rambling through the hall, 1;
I was pleased to see some agricultural pro- ^
ducts from the Rev. Wiiitekoord Smith,
V. MoBer, Esq., and Dr. Ckook. My l)is- (
trict prido. rose when I saw tho handsome ;
Buggy on exhibition by Messrs. Gower, ' ^
Cox ik Marklrv, and heard it so highly s
spoken of as a master pieco of workmanship by
those who examined it, men capable ofjudg- ^
ing of its real w*j|th and merit. This buggy
was not made with the inteution of placing j
it on exhibition at the Fair, therefore it t
j speaks well lor the faithfulness wjth which j
work is executed at tho Greenville ""Coach t
j Manufactury. Why cannot Greenville com- ^
pete with any portion of our country in all f
that pertains to mochanism or art, aiul in- ^
din-trial persuits in general ? Col. Oitu justly|
remarked in his speech, the people of tho j ^
J South did not liko to venture into nuy en- j j
terprise calculated to devclope tho rosoufcaes ' .
1 of our country, or advance her industrial j
! interests, unless they had an assurance tbkt j
i it would make .a yield of severt per cent.?
There are a few men of liberal views, how- 1 ^
1 ever, among us who can look beyond pros- j
| ent gain, and who have made some outlay j j!
of monev not alone to benelit themselves.'

but the country 111 general. i *
Wednesday I went in a pleasant party to I ^
Sullivan's Island. The evening was clearly
and the breeze brisk, cool and invigorating.
We visited the fort and whilst tliero fancy
invested the scene with the rage and tumult ,
h
of battle. I thought of the horoos who fought .*
so nobly and valiantly, and of a Jasper who |
leaped over the battlements amidst the peal j
of musketry and the booming of cannon to j ?'
rescue the fallen Hag, and to place it whore ! '*
it could bo seen to animate the* hearts and !
! oi
nerve the arms of the garrison to strike^for |
victory or death. ^
Wednesday morning I visited tlicMagnolia
Cemetery in eompany with a young ri
friend, Cadet Thompson, of Greenville. 'litis ,
is a befitting place for tho repose of tlio dead ; hl
away from the busy haunts of men, where |
nothing is heard snve the voice of Nature, in i *
the lashing of the waves against the shore 1 ^
and the warbling of the birds in tho close j ^
I woven groves. '
This motning I visited the Museum. It &
is said to be the second best in the Ulilted 11
States. I need not attempt a discription, for s
my pen would fail of the office. It is high- ?
ly creditable to tho State and city.. This 11
Museum is in the Charleston College build- 11
ing and I am indebted to one of the students, n
Mr. Buodie, for the pleasure of seeing it. "
The Fire Companies are parading the
Htreets this evening. They have just passod ^
the Charleston Hotel, and presented a beautiful
appearanee. A company from Suvan- *
nah had a handsome little girl seated cn .
j their engine decorated with flowers. They j
were some half hour iu passing the hotel and
each company was headed with a splendid R
band of music. ^
| The city fathers followed in tho truin and
| presented an imposing spectacle.

Shall Tvgcr remain shut up in his don,

as he conveniently can. Awny with

and all our eflbrts, be thrown cntirc>r

lore light from Tygcr, to coinpensato us
>i this great loss ? This habit of thinking
>r ourselves, has cost us much, "and to bo
ilicved from it all, is surely a great relief,
'an we conclude that we are not most highr
favoured, and. most amply compensated,
wo could but be assured that Tyger would
jntinuo to enlighten* us by his luminous
imitations. But, Mr. Editor, is it to be la
icntcd, that all men aVo not like Tyger, in
ossession of all ortliordoxy on all creeds,
r is it right that wo all are (as we are.) not
>any of us like Tygcr, but so constituted
?at we must labor physically for food and
timentj'and mentally for useful knowledge.
Although wc may nil think it a great blesing
to be thus endowed, could we be so enowed,
yet, may we not hope that all is for
ne best, and thut the world is, perhaps, as
ell as it is, as it would bo if all were like
'yger, filled with light so pure and boautful,
fiat all becomes more light for a short period
ficr Tyger let oft* his flood upon u?, and
any wc not concludo that a continuance of
noli light might bo more than would be
;ood for us if continued long, and might act
tijuriously if continued too long. But let
is request Tyger to remove from us the darkless,
if indeed it be darkness, which acts
ipon us in regard to the Roman Catholics.
Ve have believed, and have deliberately
oine to that belief, that Republicanism and
tomanisin could not exist together, and
rhy ? because the lifq and support of repubcanism
is the light and knowledge, or the
itebgence and integrity of tho people at
urge who con&tituto the republic; and Jio
nanism requires mental darkness with The
uany and knowledge with the few, and the

of tho so-called religion of the Roman
,'atholic is allowed tho many, must ho sold

fow surely Tyger will.excuse us for gcting
ato possession of some information relative

plain question or two. Dear sir, if tliore 1
wcro now, or should thero be at somo fttture
period, a majority of Roman Catholic voters'
in tho United States, would they not exercise
the power they possessed, aud place
men in ofllcc of their own faith? and second,ly,
should we be as we now are, a republic

Would all religions be tolorated, and every I

WiPW^jPIWo prevent, or to attempt to prevent
his so doing? Did not our rilgrim
Fathers fleo from religious oppression, and
did they not find religious freedom, and did
tlrey not hand it down to us their docqn |
dants, and nre we not bound to watch and
to see that samo freedom preserved nud
handed down to those who are to come after
us, and who nro to iuherit the liberties !
we enjoy ? Our fathers bought them, and
shall we not prescive them, not only unimpaired
but improved, and sent to successors
in better condition thau when wo received
them ? In guarding these precious-. rights,
which we consider the legitimate growth of
die troc of liberty planted here by our
Fathers, the Pilgrims, and our Fathers, the
heroes of the revolution, we thiuk or wei
have thought, that two much caro cannot ]
well be observed in guarding our institutions '
from danger. \)?e wouJ4 opi'vejr our idea
of duty in this case by a comparison. A
inau, a stranger, is received into a weiPregulated
family, with a hope and inteution of
becoming a member of the family.^ In pou-1
sequence of the reputation this familyjiflj
laincd for order, sobriety and good
nrent, he, the new comer, wishes to iMlbntir
one of the family. The good government
was established, autlin operation before the
stranger came, and he wished to ei^oy the :
privileges enjoyed by the oth^r members ofj
snid family, and wishes for no participation
in the government itself, but to enjoy the
protection afforded to all the orderly members
of said family. STiould tho head of
the family give a portion of the government
of thigkfamily into the hands of the slrangor
bcforfliUfc arood demeanor baa manifested i
itself sufficiently to entitlo the new member
to a participation in the government. We
think if the new member's molivefor coming
into the family were what ho declared them
to be, he would not desire to aid in governing,
but would be satisfied with enjoying
the protection and the priviliges of the family
government.. So our national institutions
have been spoken of in foreign nations,
and those who come here to set, each under
his own vino and liberty tree, where none
can oppress or molest him, is attracted here
by the advantages he would enjoy here that
he could not enjoy at home, under the government
he'caves behind. We cannot see
any thing like oppression in the exclusion of
foreigners from our offices, until such time
as we eon see them deserving of a participation
in the government.
LEOPARD.
For tho Sonthem EntorprUt.
To the People of Greenville:
Fsllow -Citizens : Am our town is rapidly
increasing in size, and ita beauty and convenience
depend very much on tho uniformity
of the streete,>.it is necessary that the,
Council should have a rule to govern them,
in preventing encroachments on ttie streets,
that would be sustained by the community.
ana Avoia tnc necessity of vexatious nndW
dious law-suits. I think the Watson butvey,
which was made with great care and
labor, and I have no doubt ability, afford?
the required rule. As 1 understand it, that
survey secures to all at least the full measurement
that their ^eeds call tor,1 giving, In
some slight degree, a change ia location.?
What I now propaao is, that the citizens
should meet and ratify that survey, on tho
condition thatal!Houses, fences and.fixtures,
at present in existence, should be permitted
to remain na they am until they are to be
renewed. And that, hereafter, all buildings,
whether houses, fencer,stables or other fixtures,
shall be located in conformity with the
Watson survey.
If tho citizens will hold a town mooting
and pass resolutions to th(s effect, th*fei]gty

tents to which I had been accustomed hithi
erto, and which travellers do golWrally om- A
\ ploy iu- that country. At Tokoa, Amo*' 1
birthplaciftix miles south of Bethlehem, I j
beheld a giniilar scene. Tim settlement ,v J
there consisted of two small groups*pf tenla^
ouo larger than tho other ; they were covered
with tho blnck cloth before mentioned, svf|>ported
on several poles and turned up in, ?
part on one.side, so that a porson from willi*
out could look into the interior. In .crossing
tho mountains ofTiebanon, the path of
tho traveller leads him Hong tho brow of
lofty summits oaprlooking deep valleys, at
I tho bottom of wmch may be seen tho long
black tents of migratory shepherds. It is
tbis aspect orf a Bed^niin encampment that . i
supplies tho companion in Solomon's Song:
[^"l am blaok, but comely, O ye daughters of
Jerusalem, as the tents oflvedar, as tho cur- *.
tains of Solomdh." "To the tents of the Ori- j
entala, viewed singly^" says.a certain traveler,
"it would b^ftcn difticui^^^cribs tlieepithet
eomrily but arfonu^^Sart. of a pros1
pact, thev aro a very boaRR] object. I
add, for "the sake of explanation, that Kcdar
was tlsc name cf or Ishumoiiuw y
tribo, who, like n091 ache wauderers in general,
appear to havfliflKn different places
at different times, are mentioned repeatedly
in the Old Testament. Hie Psalmist
for iutahco?rxx. to them in
the expression, "Woe is mo that ? dwell in
tno tents of Kedar." They socra to have %
i had a had pre-eminence above others of their
race as a quarrelsome, -beligercnt people.?
[ Chris. Review. ,
I -Gen, Houston, in tho course of his lecture
at Boston on slavery ; said :
"In the part of tho country iu which I lire, ,
