General Waller Cheek-*eto4.
*Tl will bo perceived that the,brave M blueeyed
w? of destiny "?the champion of
forty fights-General William Walker, was
mast effectually checkmated, oft Monday
tart, by the move of the President. A treaty
bus been made by tho Administration,
%ltb Nicarngea, by the President of
Mft 'United fctates, and Plenipotentiary
VkHftti, and tome of the point* of this treaty
ere, that tho Transit lloutc is to bo thrown
open to all nations on the pain? terms.
I VuitCil Sla!e?r jl? 'h?? treaty, also
pledged itself to maintain a sufficient Military
and Naval force to keep this route open,
ad to occupv it immediately. Our Gov
Ornmout stipulates, or implies, that it will
seize all Walkerites, wherever they can find
them, and bring thcin, qr their leaders, back
to the United Stales. (?)
Of course, wo tnay expect them to find J
"Walker with as much alacrity as has been
shown in finding that celebrated indiviual
who indulged in physical action,14 the manly
art of self defence ** towards ono William
Patterson, E*q. The idea of our Government
stipulating to seize Walker, or his aids,
is a fine farce. The Lake Boats, too, by this
treaty, are to transferred to the New Transit
Cfompany, of which, one Joseph White, a
gentleman of commerce and patriotism, is a
party. This arrangement has tlio sanction
of the dear English and French Ministers.?
Vive h Humbug.? Carolina Times.
A Party for the Hard Times.
Ono of tlse moat recherche parties of the
eeasoti " came off* last evening at tho residence
of one of our retired merchants in
S street, which was eminently in keeping
with the times. A sine qua non to the
jinvited was for the ladies to appear diaped
in calico, and the gentlemen in their summer
coats, and most faithfully did each sex carry
out their portion of tlio programme, and a
more tastefully arrayed party of f*ir demoiselles
rarely meets the eye than was hero congregated.
Upon their heads were rosettes
and pendants of the varied hued products of
Lowell, Manchester nnu Providence. At
early evening dancing was commenced bo
neath the light of one burner in eacli chandelier,
to the music of tlio pinno, in which
the ladies alternated, and was kept up with
nnahated vigor, relieved by occasional charade
performances, till supper time; and here
the rrenius of the host ia confoi miner to the
times, added much to I lie already hnppy
(parly. The spacious dining loom wis
(thrown open, and*displayed a table set forth,
mot with costly plnte, but the fruits of the
harvest instead. In the centre, upon an inverted
tin pail, nicely draped, Rtood a golden
pumpkin, from whoso eyes and nose and
mouth beamed forth a mellow light, relieved
by the "dips" which adorned the corners,
well secured in goodly turnips. Yellow
dishes of 'lasses-ginger bread yielded their
-toothsome stores, and Cochituate ale dis;pensed
from stone pitchers of the truegrnndvpia
pattern, in mugs of delf-wnre, enhanced
tike relish for renewed Terpsichorean agility.

The ladies of tho Mount Vernon Associa
tion in South Carolina, in consideration of
the patriotic objects they liavo in view, of
the approaching session of the Virginia Legislature,
and of the " financial crisis" which
has so seriously interfered with the generous
patronage of tho public?which yet must be

the patriots of Carolina, who in pride for
' their State, and in reverence for the character
and services of the Father of his Country,
desire to aid in securing his home and grave
for a " national shrine,M to send in their contributions
without delay. Especially would
they appeal to all the strangers now in
Charleston to embrace this opportunity of
recording their " mite" to secure success for
' this national enterprise, and to enable them
to do so conveniently ' subscription papers "

Number of Slaves in Virginia.?The
following table from the census of 1856,
shows the number of slaves in each of the
slave States :
"Virginia, 472,528

Georgia, 381,582
Alabama, 341,843

The Virginia Sentinel publishes this table
iu reply to some absurd insinuation of extreme
southern journalist against the loyalty
of Virginia to Southern rights and institu
tiona. It remarks that Virginia has more
at stake in this matter than anv other Slate
in the Union?for she has nearly a hundred
thousand inore slaves than any other State.

was held over the dead body of Almnn I'owell,
an aged citizen of the district. E.

of the 1st instant, in his bed a corpse.

Ore?uvllledc Columbia. Railroad i
We state, for the benefit of passengers, j
that the passenger train for Columbia leaves |
Greenville at 5 o'clock, A. M., instead- of ]
half-past 5, as formerly. The tip-train arrives
here at 5 o'clock, P. M., instead of 7 |
as formerly. We wonder if the manage'
ment of this Road requires such strict econ ,
omy that a matter of such importance as ,
the change in the schedule of the mail and j'
passenger trains should be kept niinosl a se- ,
cret from the public, when a very little ,
outlay would keep the public advised ! (

acted \vi#ely in not buying at that figure.~ j 1
Judging from the pi ices now paid in Chattanooga,
and other places for hogs, we in- 1
eline to the -opinion that pork can be purchased
this winter nt figures ranging from 1
5.} a 6 cents. We hope it may come true ; 1
and coine soon?for bacon is scarce, and
lard is totally out of the question. It is not
to be purchased nt any price.

Wm. IIunt, Sr., residing about six miles i
from this place, killed a very large eagle on t
Monday last. It measured 7 feet and some
few inches from the tips of the wings. The
eagle, in these parts, is truly of the species
rara avis, and notwithstanding it is the national
embleir., if all were as troublesome as
this ono has been, it were well to ir.nke it
even ni ?ro raro than it is now.
Thanksgiving Say. 1
Thursday last was observed by our mer- I
chants and business men generally, by clos. I
ed doors and the sus^fcsion of trade. Wo 1
regret that it was not more generally ob- I
served by the churchea and church-mmno I
? ? [ ;
people. Only l\vo of our churches were '
i open on thnt day, from what cause wo do j1
not know. Heretofore, the days set apart
| by our Chief Magistrates for thanksgiving
and praise, have scarcely been noticed in our
village, but we aro pleased to observe a
growing disposition on the part of our people,
at least the laity, to pay some attention
to it.
Thanksgiving day, in some portions of r
our country, is a part of our nationality, and
is observed with as much devotion as any
other National holiday. In New England,
they v/ould as soon think of forgetting to
celebrate the annual return of either of the
great days in our national history^ as to lose
this genial bit of the hardy okl Plymouth j
Hock, " with its strong religious foundation ]
and its countless associations."

The Comptroller General's Report. 1
We have been favored with a copy of the *
Report of Comptroller General J. D. Ashv- t
JOKK, to. the Legislature. Ii is full ill* ?

aina many valuablo and important sugges- t
ions, which it is hoped, will be actej^-iipon 1
luring the present session of the. Lfigvda- t

liands of mere speculators, who walWonl)*'
lisiegntd the teachings of experience as to
tafe banking, am! hence our Kank*vttrto at
in* day at tho mercy of their depositors.-*
The Comptroller has so often brought- these
speculations in exchange to the attention of
the Legislature to no purpose, that lie has
ilerpaited of seeing aay wholesome lnw
made to restrain tlietn. lie will not,..bowever,
shrink from a faithful and fearlesa discharge
of his duty, although he has not
succeeded heretofore in arresting the attention
of the Legislature. The remedy is In
j-our hands, nnd notwithstanding the ntro- '
gaiit claim of the private Hanks, that they ^
Iiave power under their charters to do an
diey pleai-e, and are not amenable lo (lie 1
public for their acts, there is little doubt hut v
die courts of the State would soon bring ;
hem under the law of the land, and teach
.hem to know that they are public instituions
with certain private rights, and that *
hey are at least not omnipotent to do evil.
Whatever remedy you may, in your wi^JojA,
ipply to arrest their abuses, in the judgement
>f the Comptroller, should be pr.omt, sdiftrp "
md severe. If the full measure of punish- *
incut was metc<l out lo them tbitk tig*. *
icrvo, there is not one of the new batch of *
Hanks chartered in 1852 but as richly deJ
serves n foifeiture of their charterf tf<^ i^he
course they have pursued, as nny. political
Lrailor ever mciited decapitation for treason
Lo his country. They have prostituted the
Former well-tried and legitimate system of
Hanking in this State to one of mere sp4ajla'
lion in exchanges; or, in other words, they s'
Lave changed the legitimate system of bank
ing, and their lianks into rtiere sharing '
shop* ; and at their own connters, or through '
their agencies at every point in cr out of the 1
State where their own, or other citizens' '
(
papers or sight drafts, or drafts on time, can
be bought on speculation, until their opera- '

As is usual at tbit season, Columbia has
nit on the appearance of a thronged ar.d

totice that on to morrow he would introluce
a bill to re organize tho South Carolila

A few weeks since, he wrote a letter to the

The session of Congress is rapidly appron
ching, nnd it will, no doubt, be a matter of
interest, to the readers of the M Times," to
know who are the most prominent candi
' dates for offices, in the gift of the House of
> Representatives. By inquiry, and by ob
I serving the current of public sentiment, I
have been led to the following conclusions
' as to the men likely to fall into soft places.
k Col. Orr, will, beyond a doubt, be Speaki
er of the House. lie is the only man upon
r whom the Democrats of the North and 8outh,
. will unite. There is but one opponent for
the position, whom I hear mentioned to any
extent, Phelps of Missouri. It is said that
' Phelps is the favorite of the Administration,
f but I doubt it. Col. Orr is so popular, that
; the President and Cabinet will not hazard
muo|)cv(B WIIII vMV W1111191 u miciRiiu
opposing him. 1
' If, however, a Southern Speaker be elect
ed, the NoiUivti* Democrats si!! dcmcad Z
Northern Clerk. In this case, either James
C. Alien of Illinois, or J. L. llobinsnn of In*
(liana, will have the place. Itohinsnn is
backed strongly hv Senator Bright, but Al>
len has been a member of the House, and
has many warm friends there.

Plkthoha of Reset h.?The New York
Journal of Commerce " estimates that the
specie in the vaults of that city next week
will equal twenty-two million; larger amount
j by several millions than waa ever in the
f banks before."
The opportunity should not be neglected
! by our Southern banks to strengthen their
specie reserve froaa the large accumulations
in the New York banks. No objection can
lie on the score of want of present means, by
those who have preserved their eiedit at the
great financial centre. The diflhuilty V>f lb<\
