The election of this distinguished gentleman to the Speakership of lbs House of Representatives, was a compliment not more to hiui than to that conservative sentiment of sterling State rights Democracy, of which his political career lias ever been so oousisleolly snd beautifully illustrative. And that as ucn it is appreciated t>y every admirer of bis intellectual ability and manly virtues, not only in South Carolina, but throughout the Union, we have not a doubt. There are few such men as James L. Orr in the councils of the country. And in say* iug so, we mean no discredit to his compeers. From an admirably written memoir of him, by W. II. Topping, Esq., we propose to extract a few of the many interesting incidents in his political history, which may not be unacceptable to our readers, especially since his elevation to the prominent position he now holds. Mr. Orr is a native of South Carolina. lie has not yet reached the thirty-sixth year of his age. At eighteen he entered as a student at the University of Virginia, where, after attaining proficiency in moral philosophy, political economy, belles let t res, Ac., he devoted himself exclusively and assiduously to the law. At twen ty-one he was admitted to the bar at Anderson, South Carolina, where he also established and edited a newspaper called the Anderson " Gazette." His affable bearing and elevated character soon rendered him highly popular with all classes of society, and when little more than twenty-two, he was elected to the Legislature, with a higher vote tbau any other man in the State, and that, too, in a distiict which had before given a decided Whig majority. He soon became [imminent hs a man ot sound judgment. I nnd an earnest advocate of the rights of the pocjile. At twenty-six, he was elected to Congress, after an active and excited canvass, by a majority of seven hundred over a Democratic competitor. And he has ever since, we believe, been regularly re-elected without opposition. His congressional career has been marked with unostentatious but efficient service to his Slate, to his country and to tho Democratic party, lie is as true to the outh as the trusty steel to a brave heart and stalwart arm. But he appreciates and cherishes the Union; and has done much towards quieting the troubled spirit of his own chivalric South Carolina. From his early advent upon the politicl stage, Mr. Orr has been eminently characterized by that frankness in the avowal and boldness in the maintenance of his opini>n9, without which no man should, or ever can, command the confidence of the American people sufficiently to be an elected lender in those crises that sometimes cast portentous rbadowa over our country, and stagger iuto bew ildered inactivity all but the stoutest hearts, in the South. Ilia political career furnishes an example worthy of imitation. As a parliamentarian, he has no superior?he is an admirable speaker, and commands the attention and respect of every member of the House. [ Richmond Enquirer.

In the other note, Mr. Wightman requests that as Mr. Elliot was the only true friend he ever had, that in death they tnight not be divided ; but desired that both might be interred together. 1 The verdict of the jury was that they | both came to their death by taking Cyanide I of Potaisi'i. .

We leatn from the Spartanburg papers that Gilbert Flkmino committed a most distressing homicide upon the person of his brother-in-law, Geo. Pte, on Saturday, 12th inst. It occurred in Spartanburg District. Who Can He Be? Swan ?fe Co., so it is stated, have given to a citizen of Greenville a prize ticket of #30,000.

So say we. Death of Col. Henry G. Johnson. This old and highly esteemed citizen of out District, died at his residence, on Friday last, after a shoit but painful illness. He leaves a widow and two children, together with a largo circle of admiring friends, to mourn his death. No man ever received a warmer or more devoted attachment from friends than him whose death it is now our melancholy duty to record. Col. Johnson was, at the time of his death, in tho 72d j year of his age. lie was a member of the Masonic fraternity, of which order he was a 1 shining light?a free and accepted brother.

It is well, known by many of our readers, that this statue is somewhat mutilated, occasioned by the wreck of the ship Elisabeth, which was bearing it to this country. Mr. Powsrs was engaged to repair the injury, but was unable to oomplete the work until recently. The Charleston Otmritr says; * We are happy to report that the substituted arm has now been received, and was accompanied by a letter of full instruotions and ai reel ions, which will enable any one versed in the manipulations of the art, to affix the limb according to the original idea of the artist.

As South Carolina , had but little or nothing to do with the Slsve Trade, when Congress formerly legal- , izcd the busineest we think she should not. at this late day, enter into it; more particu- 1 larly since the weighty reasons, which are urged in the minority's report, exist to render it both injurious and obnoxious to the 1 State. | Reoovery Lodge, Ho. 3L A-\ F.\ M.'The following are the Officers of the above Lodge of Freemasons in Ibis place, for the 1 year 1858: W.\ M.\?
