Gtonural William Walker.
We perceive in manj of our exchangee!
w'thin the iaet few dayi, an extract from a
late number of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magaxine,
on Nicaragua, in which it is stated
that General William Walker, whose position
in its affairs has drawn all eyes upon
Li.Ti, is about forty y*?rs of age, and is a
native of Alabama, and giving some details
na to his early life and education which are
sometimes correct, and sometimes otherwise.
The writer of this article has known Win.
Walker from his childhood, and has it, therefore,
withiu bis power to correct several errors
which prevail with regard to him. In
the first place, then, ho is a native of Nash
ville, Tennessee, his father being of Scotch
birth, coming, we believe, from Glasgow, or
its vicinity, his mother who was a sister of
John Norvell, at one period a Senator in Congress
froin Michigan, being a native of Kentucky.
William, the eldest of their children,
is about thirtv-three or four years of age. is
or ratficr dttnimlive stature, whitish hair, fair
complexion, much stained on the cheeks and
about the eyes with freckles, gray eyes, and
a oountenance, on the whole, rather tame
and unprepossessing. His voice is decidedly
nasal, being what the children call singsong;
his manners are uncommonly quiet
and reserved, if not awkward, but when in
oompany with intimate friends, and when
interested in any object, he wakes up. and his
whole appearance greatly changes.
At school and college, Walker was most
taciturn and studious; he was particularly
proficient in mathematics and the exact
sciences, and on his graduation at the University
of Nashville, he went to Edinburgh,
where ho went through the school of medicine,
and afterwards attended lectures on
that science at Paris, and then travelled over
a considerable portion of middle and Southern
Europe. On bis relurn to Noshvilie, he i
found that neither his health nor his temperament
fitted him for the life of a physician,
and caine to this city with tho intention of
studying law and obtaining admittance to
the bar. He pursued his studies for some
time, and was admitted to practice, but never,
we think, made any very strenuous attempt
to advance in the profession. He soon
became connected with tho Crescent, and
devoted himself with great earnestness and
seal to editorial labors. The experiment did
not, however, prove so fortunate as he had
expected, and ho therefore gave it up, and
followed the example of many other adventurous
Hnd ambitious spirits, by going to
California. In that State he was also for a
while connected with the press, and at tLo
period of the descent upon Sonora, which he
made with a handful of followers, he was, if
we have not been misinformed, again trying
2ii* luck at the bar. However ill-advised
*nd unfortunate that adventure may be regarded
by many, nil will agree that, so far
** its history has transpired, Walker displayed
indomitable nerve and heroism in the
-midst of the sternest difficulties.
Under his calm and unreserved exterior,
Walker conceals the rarest determination
and the most unflinching courage, lie is,
we are inclined to think, slightly fanatical in
hi* views when interested or resolved upon
<m matter, and probably never thinks of con
'cession to any person or under any circumstances.
lie is also strictly just and impartial
in his course, and little given to making
distinctions in his treatment of those who
oifeiid against discipline. In proof of this,
we heard the other day from a most reliable
eource. that his own brother, who held a
-commission, having been guilty of an imprudence
which disqualified him for duly
?t the moment, he wdcred that he should
lie reduced to the ranks, and his commission
forfeited, nor would he recede from his posi ion,
although strongly urged to clemency
by many of his leading and most trusted
officers.?Savannah Courier.
l?>
Irish Emigration*.?Notwithstanding the
decreased population in Ireland and the improved
dcrtand and better wages for labor,
the people continue to desert their native
toil. According to one of the Galwaj papers,
the spirit of self-expatriation is still alive, and
the peasantry manifest a restless tendency to
try their fortunes in other climes. The mania,
it is said, is rapidly extending to the
middle as well as the lower classes, and is
by no means confined to the west of Ireland
?it pervades the island throughout.
"The pancity of inhabitants in some districts
(says the Western Star) one would
think would be an inducement for the present
residents to remain, especially as wages
are good for operatives and workmen of
every craft, and the laborer is tourronnded
with an amount of comfort he never enjoyed
before. Bands of emigrants of the laboring
class, escorted b^ numbers of relatives, are
continually passing through 'his town on
their way to America whence they, for the
(MiUlf rvn ft 110 L'A ro/ioi l/Ol 1 fllA n triAi mi /\f iUai*
passage money. Though the intelligence
received by the United Suites nod Canada
is for the most part encouraging to lhc56 who
contemplate crossing the Atlantic, yet the
feeling is gradually increasing in favor of
proceeding to Australia. It haa become
known that some of the colonies have sub
scribed largely in aid of emigration from this
country on the ' bounty system," and every
day for the last month we have had a large 1
number of applications to know how "free i
passages" can be obtained. The authorities,
however, have not afforded any facilities to ,
such qf the inhabitants of the west of Ireland
as might be anxious to emigrate, after hav- '
ing been deemed suitable candidates for a
passage." \ ^ i
Lieut. Ma CRT has refuted the Cross of j
the Order of Dsnneborg, proffered to him t
by the King of Denmark, on the ground
that the organic Saws of this country forbid

Governor And Lieut- Governor.
The General Assembly on Tuesdav last.
went into an election for the above officer*,
and on the first joint ballot, elected the Hon.
i R. F. W. Alston Governor, and Hon. Gabriel
Cannon Lieut. Governor of the State
of South Carolina.
The Planter's Hotel.
This establishment has been purchased '
by Col. R. P. Goodlbtt, of this place, and
will bo re-opened under the favorable auspices
of that gentleman on the first of January
next. Its fiue location, and under the 1
superintendence of Col. Goodlett and his
estimable lady, we feel assured that it will
become a favorite resort, both foo transient j
and permanent boarders. (
Cold WeatherConsiderable
snow has already fallen in ,
the mountains, and we were visited on Wed- 1
nesday with a slight fall of sleet. Water
freezes during the night, and taking the
weather all together, we consider that it is
quite uniuteresting, and not much to our 1
liking, Uowover, as winter has been designed
by a good Providence for wise and ^
great purposes, we welcome its advent. We
welcome it, because it is the mother of the
happy, smiling spring-time. Yes, we welcome
it, but bid it onward speed to the fulfilment
of its mission.

Hogs?Price of Pork*
Our town has been alive for the past week
or two with droves of hogs. Several sales
have been effected at 6$ cents gross; a few
have been sold at 0 cents. Principal buyers (
are holding off, with a prospect of obtaining (
at 6 cents. The impiession prevails that }
if the present prices continue, it will be pro- t
ferable to buy bacon in the summer, and, 1
judging from the vast numbers which have
passed through this, Spartanburg and othor
places, wo incline to the same opinion. A r
gentleman just from Chattanooga informed (
us yesterday, that the highest price asked
for hogs in that place was 5 cents, and many 1
had been disnoae/t nf at Al ?t=

ing a desire that the South should maintain 1
the principles of Constitutional Union, but
at the same time expressing a determination t
to prepare for future emergencies and contingencies.

It has been decided by the President to

given.
The Democratic Members of Congress
from Virginia, stiongly condemn the actios
of the Members of the Electoral College of
that State, recommending ex-Governor Floyd |
tor a position in Mr. JJuclianan'a Cabinet.
A fact derived from undoubted authority
is that Mr. Buchanan has expressed a desire
to have the benefit of Governor Wise's council,
and has protfered him any station within
his gift, but the Governor has declined
the offer thus made.
From WashingtonWashing
ton, December 6.
A special messenger has arrived from
Kansas bringing despatches from Gov. Geary,
relative to the release of Hares and other

Revival of the African Slav*.Tkadb.
?Several influential Democratic papers at
he South are advocating the renewal jof the(
'oreign slavo trade. Some of tlTd leaders
>f the party aro also urging it upou theconlidcration
of the public. This we regret on
ivery account. It is one of those imprfceti
:able and exciting sectional issues irbiclrean
lever bo made by the South without defeat
tnd discomfiture, and must tend to keep up
livisions at home, and to weaken us abroad.
We believe the success of such a measure
would be prejudicial to overy interest of the
Jouth, to say uothing of the religious and
moral sense and sentiment of the people,
which is largoly against it throughout the
entire christian world. We publish in another
column the views of Gov. Adams, of
South Carolina, on the subject, as part of
die history of the times. Ilis recomuicndaion
to exempt one slave from sale under ex*
tculion, we have long since approved.

A Second Jack SheppardGeo.
W. Townsrnd, who whs sentenced q
to two years in tho Delaware State Prison,
at Newcastle, for robbing the Post Office nt
Wilmington, Delaware, has succeeded in
breaking jail again. This is the fourth time p(
he has escaped from this prison. The first p
time, while in prison awaiting his trial, he
broke Jail and let out three other prisoners ; q,
on the same night there were some six or
seven stores broken into in Wilmington.?
Shortly after this escape, Townsend was recognized
and arrested in Philadelphia, and
a portion of the goods takeu from the stores pj
was found on his person ; he also had on his
person five heavily loaded pistols, and a ^
large dirk knife.
In a few days after he was lodged in the
old quarters, he again escaped from his cell,
and had reached tho top of the wall, and
was in the act of jumping down on the out- j ^
side, when ho was discovered by the sheriff; ^
the sheriff fired at him, and he was captur?.l
ol -i- -a.- .l*. ?

he was sentenced, he made a
strong appeal to the court for clemency ; that
he was sorry for what he had done ; would n
reform, Ac. About a month after he was
sentenced lie made his third escapa from the ^
prison ; this time he let out two other prisoners
with him ; and on the same night the
post office at Wilmington was robbed. This
time he was recognized by the conductor,
while in the cars between "Wilmington and ?
Chester. The conductor locked both ends
of the car, and when they reached Chester, j,,
an officer wes procured, and Townsend was
again arrested. One of the persons he had
let out of prison, named " Oyster Charley,"
was with him in the car, and was also arrested.
?
Townsend was taken back to the prison
and this lime, to make sure of him, he was ?
put in double irons, which means hand-cuffs
and hobbies or leg-irons. lie was locked in
his cell and closely watched. Notwith- ^
standiug all this precaution, bo agnin affecled
another and a fourth escape ou Friday
