~ i tta Washington correspondent of the The feeling1 of Southern member* of Cougree* ei the pro*peel of the admission of Kansaa Is venous, and by no means of unmixed saiisfaciion. A distinguished South Carolina member bus declared to me thAt, in oonsequeoce of the freeeoil contrivance of Mr. Calhoun, he should vote against the admission of Kansas under the circumstances, ae he dul not, >visU to incur the responsibility with whku the South" plight hereafter cnargo us rept-eseniauvea?oi voimg Virtually for the admission of a fret Slabs In disregard of justice to their own section. This view your correspondent has expressed substantially in former communications. The South has nothing of sectional interest to gain by tho admission of Kansas. Under Calhoun s decision, it would, in the very act of coining into the Union, be a free State: and it would be lepresented at the cApital by fnctionists who would laugh nt our delusion ? that there was to bo no more controversy about Kansas. Gut on the other hand, the South, n< sn Integral part of tho Republic, has an interest in favor of the admission of Kansas into the Union, simply becanse it would he a viudi cation of a constitutional piinciple and a triumph of law and order over faction. For the sake of this, not tho South peculiarly, but the party representing law and order and the conservatism of the country, i* summoned to vote for the measuio. On this ground, tho Locompton Constitution should bo passed, and with all possible expedition, too, as the matter has already, much to the i blame of the dominant party, been suffered to linger too long, and to encounter unforeseen possible dangers. ? - Temperance Remedy.? An occasional correspondent of the Charleston News relates tho following temnemncc remedy : "I have lately heard of a ease of womanV j rights which took in anbthcr diiection. At | the Court of Common I'leas recently held j at Abbeville, a woman brought notions against two men for selling liquor to Iter ' husband. She indicted one of them in twenty-six cases, and the other in nine. It seems that one of the men had sent in his bill for twenty-six bottles of liquor, and the other for nine, and the wife, getting possession of the bills, entered a prosecution for each bottlo, and who can say that she had not a light to do so ? The grand jury i thought she had, and found true bills against the liquor fellers in every case Would it I not he well for other wives who have drun ] ken husbands to follow this example ?" We suppose the moral is addressed to husbands not to take home store hills eon taiuing the enigmatical charge "to merchandise" A Rkcku-:b8 Man.? A insti called Bill Farr, was killed on last Christmas day, at Tehama, California. Bill was a notable character in his way. The Red Bluffs Beacon says of him : "Our readers will remember an advertisement that appeared in our paper last spiing, stating that Bill Fai r would fight a srrizziy bear single handed, on the 4th of July, at Tehama. IIis life seemed to he of no cm sequence to him. We have frequently heard hitn remmk that ho had as soon he killed | as not, and upon one occasion \vs actually knew of his standing up coolly with a per- j son as reckless as lninsclf, each taking a , shot at the other's lint, at a distance of til'- i ty steps, as it remained on his head. The j result was that Bill's hat was shot through, and a small buneh of hair cut away, while! the skin of the other man's cranium was : laid bare for three or four inches by Bill's j half ounce ball. Bill was a tenor to the! Indians, having killed i great many in his I time; some of whom, lie said himself, be; shot to sec them Till." Remkf for tiib Aiimy in Utah.?The I Journal of Commerce learns from the Agent ' of the contractors for supplies for the Utah ' expeditionary army that, on the 20th of' January, there were assembled at Fort Laramie 1,932 bead of draught oxen in good condition, and that, in pursuance of instruc tions received from the War Department, a wagon train consisting of 110 wagons will start thence on the 20th of this month, la den with provisions and clothing for Colonel Johnson's command, which is now in winter quarters at Fort Bridger. Each wagon > will carry 6,500 lbs. weight, and 1,320 oxen will be required for the service. We also learn, from good authority, that the contractors have no doubt that tho train will i reach its destination before the 15th of May, and in good time to supply the troops with everything of which tliey may stand in need prior to the commencement of their 1 inarch to Salt Lake. ?-v /I . . .

UIUCUMSTANCE. 1110 KM- j lowing circumstance is related to us (*ays? the St. Louis Democrat, of the 2d inst.) bv one of our prominent citizens, who received ; ttie intelligence by letter from his wife, now , lesiding in tlie State of New York. On the ( night of the terrible destruction of the Pa-1 eitic Hotel, ft little brother of Mr. ilenty j Rochester, living at home with his parents, near Avon, in the State of New York,; awoke some tiino after midnight with screaming and tears, saying that (he hotel in St. Louie was on fire, and that his brother Henry was burning to death. So intense was his alarm and hoiror, that it was with difficulty he could be quieted. On the fob j lowing day at noon, the parents received a j telegraphic dispatch from the city, confirm-1 ing the little boy's dream in every particular.

The parties have both been married before, and have a family of seven children?those of the gentleman comprising six daughters and a son, and those of the lady, six sons and a daughter. The sons acted on the occasion as groomsmen to their fiiture father, and the daughters as bridesmaids to their future mother. The whole fourteen children, dressed alike, according to their sex, entered the church arm in Arm, and rangod themselves on either side of their parents, who aro both remarkable handsome, and looked superb.

In England, Smith is by far the most common nainc, while in Wales the name of Joins predominates. During tbo periods above named, the records of both England and Wales show 285,037 persons named Smith, anil 282,800 named Jones. Of tho wkole population of England and Wales in 1855, one in 70 was n Jones, one in 116 a Williams, one in 148 a Taylor, one in 162 a Davis, and one in 176 a Brown. Overlinlf a million of tho whole population were named Smith or Jones.

Each year, or oflener,' if circumstances shall warrant tho attempt, tho whole band shall draw from n box in which there will be five winning numbers. The five members drawing these are held to )>ut into immediate execution an attempt upon tho Emperor's life, which shall be approved by the whole society, and by those who are charged with its execution.

According to the estimate, "the United States has increased in wealth full a thousand millions of dollars hy railroads!" They have certainly contributed more to the prosperity of the country than they have proved remunerative to their owners. Without rail roads we could never have been the wide extended republic that we have grown ; with them we can enlarge our territories still I further. It is a fortunate conjunction of events that the locomotive and the magnetic telegraph, two of the most potential contrivances for annihilating space, should spring into existence just as a new republic was extending its power over a continent.

Pickens Court. In company with two legal friend*, we left Greenville on Sunday morning of last week, for the purpose of attending the Spring session of '.lie Court for Pickens District. We stopped at W. E. IIotcoxDc'n Hotel and found the accommodations as good as we expected?for, be it known, our friend IIoi.coMn? is widely known as an excellent landlord, nlthougli but a short lime in tho business at Pickens. Ilis table was daily supplied with everything the country afforded. Pickens is much in need of a large hotel.

A large ninonnt of business was transacted by (lie Court. The sessions docket was crowded with cases. We think there were indictments for nearly every offenco known to the law : Murder, assauUs, batteries, larcenies, riots, retailing spirituous liquors, dis turbances, etc. An old man bv the name of Iiia Hammond, was tried for the murder of Kdwin Holms. He was defended by 8. D. (joodlktt, of Greenville, and Z. C. Pulliam, of Pickens. The jury rendered a verdict of acquittal. Several persons plead guilty to the charge of selling liquors without license, and were sentenced to jail. One of the fellows indicted for retailing was the same who sold liquor At the Pickensvilie camp meeting last fall, and which, no doubt, caused ali the noise and disgraceful rioting* that occurred at that time. No act is attended with so many evil consequences to society as that of selling liquor, and there is none that should be visited with heavier punishment. We think that every grog seller in the land ought to be put in some secure place, in order that he might be prevented from doing harm. The candidates for Congress entertained A $fVp9Rir^ * large crowd on Tuesday. T. O. P. V??o?, Esq., opened the discussion, ami waa woceeded by Col. Afttm&a and Col. Jqkss.

God, in his providence, ha* taught the Baptists of the south their need of one general theological seminary of the highest order.

Of the amount to bo given by 8outh Cat ol in a, the share of Greenville District, by a vote of it* I own citizens, at a public meeting called to consider this matter, was put down nt twenty-five thousand dollars. A few citizens have already subscribed sixteen thousand dollars of this amount, and to the rest of the District i* left the balance?nine thousand dollars.
