C. Perry entered the United
States navy as a midshipman cm the 10th
of January, 1800, wl?eu lie immediately
joined the schooner Revenge, from which
he was soon after transferred to the frigate
President.
In November, 1813, he was ordered to
the frigate United States, and in April. 1814.
was sent baek to the President. Toward
the end of 1814, he was ordered to the brig
Chippewa, from which vessel ho was transferred
to the Navy Yard at Brooklyn, with the
rank of lieulennnt. He thus learned the
duties of his profession amid the stirring
events of the v/ar of 1812 with Gceat Britain,
when overy officer of our little navy was
more or less in active service.
In August, 1819, he was ordered to the
ship Cyane, which was sent to the coast of
Africa, to aid the efforts of the Colonization
Society in its attempt to found a settlement
of free Blacks upon the island of Sherbro,
near 8ierra Leone. Tho mortality at Sherbro
was so great that it became evident no
colony could be planted there, nnd Lieut.
Perry selected Mcsurado Capo as a more
suitable locality for a town. lie therefore
fixed the locality of the first settlement of
Liberia.
In May, 1812, Lieut. Perry was put in
command of the schooner Shark, in which i
vaacnl Iia t vvinn \ flirt nnliinu of \fajnia i
do. In the same vessel lie also cruised the |
waters of the West Indies, nnd captured i
several piiates. ?
On his return, he was again attached to I
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he remain
ed until 1824, when he was ordered to the I
North Carolina, of 00 guns, under command <
of Commodore John ltogers. In this ship <
he served as first lieutenant and captain of l
the fleet during her whole cruise. lie was i
then promoted to the rank of commander. |
and took charge of the recruiting sorvice at 1
Boston, in which employment he continued
until 1830, when ho louk command of the
corvette Concord, in which he conveyed
John Randolph as United States Minister to
St. Petersburg, and afterward cruised three
years in the Mediterranean.
When home again, he was once more actively
employed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard 1
as superintendent of a school of gnn practice,
and in the organization of a steam naval I
service. I
lie was, at this time, promoted to the
rank of captain, and was offered the com
mand of the exploring expedition afterwards
given to Commodore Wilkes, but, for va <
rious reasons, declined it. In 1838, Cm pi. 1
Perrv was sent to Europe to visit the doc k 1
yards and light houses, nnd collect, from per 1
buiihi insptrcuon, such mris as inigli;, l)c u>?? 1
fill in improving those departments of the 1
United States service. Early in 1839, he '
submitted his report to the Government, and 1
resumed his duties as superintendent of gun
practice, and in pfepming pans for the con '
struction and equipment of the Missouri and '
the Mississippi, the Gist two ocean steamers *
in our nsuy. <
Whilo tints employed, he was appointed '
to the chief command of tho Brooklyn Na
vy Yard, in which position lie remained two <
years, when, at his own request, he was ap 1
pointed to the command of the African '
squadron, sent out under the provisions of 1
the Ashburton Treaty. lie succeeded so '
well in carrying out the provisions of the
treaty that he received the commendation of 1
both the British and American Governments.
1
In 1848, he sailed as second in command
to Commodore Conner, to the Gulf of Mexico,
and on the retirement of that officer in j
March, assumed the chief command in lime ,
to direct the naval bombardment of Vera J
Cruz. Commodore Perry's " able co-opera- tiots"
in the siege of Vera Cruz was coidi >
ally acknowledged by Geu. Scott in his of- i
ficial despatches.
But the most distinguished service, in JT* i
long career, was the expedition to Japan, |
which sailed from the United Slates on the j
24th of November, 1852. and ij) command |
of which Commodore Perry negotiated the (
treaty with Japan, signed on the last day of t
March, 1854. The important events con i

When I he President first declared himself
Cor th ? admission of Kansas undor the L?
sompton Constitution, hi? policy received a
ordlnt support in no quarter except from
bo 8 la to Rights party of the South. The
ruest Democrats of the North hesitated to
tocept the issue, and for a time it was doubt
id whether the Administration would nol
t>e deserted by the entire party in the North
At last the painful suspense was determined
in favor of the President's policy, by a reluctant
declaration of support from the leaden
and organs of the Northern Democracy.?
Still the hullr t\( ihn party held aloof, and
the Administration did not yetdaro to claim
the verdict of poptdar opinion.
Tn the South, too, there was division among
the Democracy. Here and there an indt

lured to pronounce against the Administra
tiou on the policy of admitting Kansas un
tier the Lecoinpton Constitution. A stil
larger number offered the President tlx
damaging support of equivocal apologies, in
stead ot the earnest applause of a willing
spirit and an npproving judgment. Bn
the S'.ate Rights party embraced the Presi
dent's policy with the alacrity of eager ad
miration, and avowed a purpose to sustaii
the Administration against any and all ad
versaries. They were a feeble minority, bu
they stood upon principle and fought for lh<
interests of the country. For more than
month the struggle has been progressini
with various vicissitudes of fortune, althougl
the general aspect of affairs was discouraging
to (he hopes of the Administration.
At last the contest draws to a close nix
we aie authorized to clniin the victory.
In the South, the voice of individual recu
snancy is slitied by the clamor of a pnpula
demand for the immediate admission of Kan
sos.
In the North, a re action of public sent!
tnent has brought the Democratic party t<
the support of the Administration. The in
dicntions of this wholesome change are visi
blc in every manifestation of popular feeling
Tiro demonstrations in New York and tlx
resolutions of the Pennsylvania Democracy
soal the verdict in favor of the President'.policy.
After nuch an authoritative expression
of popular opinion, we may predict n
:ertain and speedy tiiumph for the Administration.
But to whom shall we award the credit ol
he victory I Undeniably, the applause is
luo to that incorruptible and invin
iple party which has so often rescued
.lie Democratic faith from perversion and
ihe Democratic cause from defeat?to the
party which, yielding to no temptation and
despairing under no adversity, is destined in
the future to repeat the glotiuus exploits that
have signalized its history in the past?undeniably,
tho applause is due to the Slaw
Rights party of the South.

An Outrage?It is seldom that wo art
Balled on to record so daring an outrage as
has been detailed to us. The facts, as we
have been able to gather them, aro as follows
: On the 24th ult., as three men?
James F. Bedford, John Hawkins. Alias
Smith. B. C. Garrison ? were passing from
Walhalla to the Tunnel, one of the party
shot, without provocation, a negro bov be
longing to Ooi. Orisliam, who was at work
near by the road-side. The three men then
attempted to make their escape. One of
hem was secured by Col. G. himself, who,
ivitli a party of gentlemen, followed the
ither two eight miles beyond Clayton, Oa.,
he same night, w here they were arrested bv
Messrs. J. C. Neville and \V. Pitcliford, ami
aroutrht back to tile Tunnel the nmi tnom
ng. The prisoners were then placed in
barge of Mr. Bowden, the Magistrate, se
:urely bound, but llaskin* effected hi*
gwnpe. Said Haskins is about six feel biglt,
straight and trim made, dark, sallow com
plexion, dark hair and yellow eyes, with
moustache ; scars on his forehead ; quick
poken, profane. av.d a gambler. lie left
without hat or shoes, and is shabbily dress

Bedford and Garrison hare been commit
led to jail, to answer for themselves.
Col. Grisham has offered a large reward
for the supposed peroetrator of this murder
jus attempt.?Keowee Courier.
Musical Leoislatoks.?The Maine Leg
islature has instituted the novel and very
pleasant feature ofmorning concerts in legislative
session. The Kennebec Journal says:
The veteran messenger to the House, Mr.
I'houtas of Newburg. has a taste for music,
ind he haa discovered an unusual amount
?nd variety of musical talent among the
members. This united talent has been
brought out in a seiies of imprompta morn
ng concerts before the hour for calling the
liotise to order, until, at length, morning
tinging has become a regular institution in
ho Representatives' Hall for the fifteen
minutes before the speaker takes his seat.?

withdraw the last shadow of a pretext for

iiscontioueu for many years, and which
would outrage the feelings of all parties in

distinguished gentleman made his
debut in the U. S. Senate, a few days since,
upon the admission of Kansas under the I
Lccompton Constitution, iu a speech of
about an hour's length. We Are glad to see
our Senator repelling, in such a masterly
manner, the unjust accusations which Northern
politicians have been casting upon us
for years past. It created ? profound sensation
iu the Senate, and is replete with interest
and eloquence, lie strikes at the
root of the present agitation?which is the
hostility to slavery manifested hy the North.

The Weather.
During the past week the weather haa
been quite pleasant and Spiing like, and
fires have been unnecessary. On Tuesday
we noticed a pcacb tree in almost full bloom,
and several others with bursting buds.?
Should it remain warm a short time longer,
vegetation generally will get a fine start,
and, (unless the weather-wheel lakes a reverse
aetion.) the flower-tinted season will
have burst upon us in all its beauty. Gardens
arc now being prepared and planted,
and we sincerly trust that the weather will
deal gently with the tender plants. IIow

ty-firo thousand dollar?. A few citizens
have already subscribed sixteen thousand
dollars of this amount, and totho rest of the
District is left the balaoce?nine thousand
dollars. This must be made up amongst us,
and at once. The canvass of the State ui
general, thus far made, proves that It jrfll
require every dollar of what csn he elsewhere
raised to make up the balsnco of the
one hundred thousand dollars, and unless we
are willing to see the enterprise fail, our citizens
must make up the amount reasonably
regarded a* their share. We hare until tho
drat of May to secure it in bonds and^oasb.
At that time the Convention called for the
organisation of the institution, will meet at
Greenville, and it is not unlikely that the
opportunity having' been given us to secure
its location among u.\ and we having failed
to embrace it. there will be other applicants
fbr an advantage which, it is every whtsre
felt, is, to a town of our size, particularly
with its institutions of learning, of incalculable
value.
My own duty requires me to canvass other
parts of the State during the interval.?
If I have opportunity, I will gladly avail
mvself of it, to call upon any citizens of ths
District. The Committee of twenty-five,
appointed to perform this duty at the District
meeting, will, doubtlesa, see as many of
tho citizens ns possible. Yet mav I not
hope that such an interest is felt in this matter
that every citizen, without waiting to be
called on, will at once come forward and
contribute to tho utmost of hi# abilityj?
Bonds will he taken, when it is not convenient
to pay carij. pavable in two in?ta'ments,
