But to the result. ? _ From the representations of the various district papers, we conclude that the follow tng districts may be set down as decidedly favoring the representation of the State: Anderson, Chester, Greenville, Marlboro, Edgefield, Yorkville. and Union. In Sumter, Fairfield and .Georgetown, although delegates have been nppointed. there seems to ., exist a division of the people. In Abbeville and Kewberry the meetings have been adjourned to a latter day. Lancaster and Laurens have declared against the measure of representation. Whilsl in Kich.'and. Charleston, Orangeburg, Barnwell, Beaufort. ColIt ton, Horry, Marion, Williamsburg, Chester field, Darlington, Kershaw, Lexington, Pickens, and the Parishes, no action has jet been taken on the subject. Finally, there are twenty-tight districts in the State, and'of these ten have appointed delegates up to the present time.? South Caroiinian. The Means of Hational Defence.

Tim*, great fortress huld out for nearly a year against an immense army and all the eugincs or modern science. Our Government some tirti'e since sent a commission over, for the purpose of looking on and learning as much ae possible, and it is to be hoped that tho information thus acquired, will tie made good use of. We abhor war in nil its bloody aspects, and would sweep so foul an&unnntural a monster from the face of the earth. But inasmuch.as we cannot control human passion, and are liable to the calamities that grow out of national misunderstandings, the government should at least pursue a prudent course and prepare for every emergency. This ia especially its duty nnder present circumstances, and with a treasury full to over flowing. The expenditure of the inoncv would IS# a good thing of itself, for it would give employment to thousands, whilo tho very fact of ample preparation, might exercise a salutary iuthience in the way of preventing collision. Whatever view our national vani. ty may be supposed to prompt, it is quite Certain that we arc in a condition of wretched exposure, and before we could make anything likea suitable defence, millions of property would be destroyed. New York, for example, wyuld suffer fearfully. The citizen* of that place appear to 1>? aware of their condition in this leaMftt, and thus the Mayor, under the eancttorof eminent military authorities, ha* recoinnieiided the erection of a new fort at Sandy Hook, to check the advance of a hostile fleet through the entrance of the outer harbor. On this object Senator Fish, recently moved a resolution of inquiry, a hicli was adopted in'the Senate. In reference to it tho Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, makes the following statement: The condition of the fortifications of the h^bor and the Navy Yard at New York, ha* been the subject of much remark of late.
