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.

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. J
Wiio Can Heat This??A young lady'
in Portsmouth, engaged in gathering a!
dress, a few evenings ago, took five hunared l
and thirty eight stitches in three minutes, as
follows: first minute 176, second minute
176, and third minute 186. While this
inay seem almost unreasonable, we know it
to be a fact, and a fact too that establishes
the truth, that the "Patent Bowing Ma

A Curious Wkdpino?A letter from
New York relates the following:
Ar interesting wedding took place a few
days since, between a Mr. Henry B. Melville
and Mrs. Sarah K. Sevmour. 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.
The bride is wealthy, nnd was richly dressed
.in a pearl-colored moire antique, with
co&uy taces ar.u atamona Drocne ana urace

Family Nam ice.?The following facts are
froin an interesting article on the family
nomenclature of England and Wales in the
sixteenth annual report of the register-general
of England :
The indexes of births, marriages and
dentin for seventeen and a half years contain
more than 21,000,000 names. 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.
A Doubtful Prospect Ahead.?According
to the New York Times, lludio, one
of the conspirators in the late attempt to assassinate
Napoleon, has turned State's evidence,
and revealed the fact that 500 conspirators
are bound by an oath to persevere
in the attempt upon the life of tho Emperor
until it is successful. 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. The
society has plenty of money for carrying out :

A Substitute foh tiir Kansas Dim..?
Mr. Gilmer, of Noitli Carolina, has given
notice to the House of Representatives of a
substitute for the Kansas bill, which proposes
to admit tho Territory into the Union with-1
out recognizing or mentioning any consti I
tut ion whatever, o.~?.ept to declare that in I
tlitis admitting said Territory the act shall1
not be so construed as to recognize or reject
or to determine tho validity of any constitution
which has been presented to Congress;
t lie true intent and meaning of this act be- j
ing to leave the people of Kansas perfectly j
free to form and regulate their domestic in i
atitutions and a (fa its in their own way, sul>-|

Genuine South Carolina Libkramty. |
We tin J the following item in the London
Globe:
Italian Rclirf Fun'/.?Wo are requested .
by the President of the Indian Mutiny lie-J
lief Fund to state that a remittance of .?'1501 !
18s lias l>eon received from her HritanieJ
Maji sty's Consul at Charleston, South Caro ,
lina, accompanied by a letter containing the
following gratifying statement: " I tliink |
it proper to add that a considoiable propor- '
lion of this amount has been subscribed by .
American citizens, who have been desirous ,
of uniting with tbe British residents in the J
expression of their sympathy with the sufferers
by the Indian mutinies."
What Railroads IIavk Done.? 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.
A Nkw Emi'Iue at the North.?An effort
in making to unite tho HritUh Ameii
enn colonies in one grand confederacy, contemplating
ultimately an independent government.
A conference with the Imperial
Government has been had on the subject,
and the reply was that her Majesty would
be ruled entirely by the wishes of the colonics
themselves on the subject; and in pursuance
of this intimation Nova Scotia lias
opened negotiations with the other provinces.
The territory embraced in this content
plated confederacy is near three millions of
square miles, and the population nearly
three millions. This is good foundation for
another empire,
A Count kb*'kit.?A friend has exhibited
to us a counteifeit coin, purporting to be a
five dollar gold piece. It is near the size of
the genuine coin, but much lighter. On
one side, is a likeness in relief, surrounded
by the words "General Washington;" on
the other, the Eagle, and the words *' In
Unitatt Forlitudo." The met si Is a good
specimen of most unmitigated brass; so
rank is It that wo cannot conceive that any
man could have brats enough to palm if off.
Our informant has met with several samples
of the like kind, and thinks it best for
us to venture this warning.

A Pleasing Fact.
It will be a source of pleasure and gratification
to the people of our District to learn
that there is not at the present timo a single
inmate in the jail of the District. This fact
we have from tho report of tho jailor, read
by his Honor, Judge Wardlaw, on Monday
morning of the present Court.

to he tried at the piesent term, tlie
mere fact of being court week has brought

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.
We understand that efforts are being
made to erect a building sufficiently largo
for public travel and convenience, and we
would be delighted to hear that such an tin
ilnrluLinfr tt'ora fim>-l Ia .A I
..v.v ..Micuvvt, ou\l IV/ OVO UUI IIICIJU
IIolcombe established as itn proprietor.
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

Esq., opened the discussion, ami waa woceeded
by Col. Afttm&a and Col. Jqkss.
We had the pleasuVe of taking a very
agreeable ride upon the Keowee with our

Thompson : whether married or single be
will always be able (o " paddle his own canoe."
Iiong may bo live, and success to his
paper and his boat. Wo suggest that the
latter be called 44 The Floating Typo."
The majority of the legal fraternity at
Pickens are young men. and a more clover
set of lawyers wo have never mot. Here
they aro: WicKLirre, Pulli.\h, Norton
and Haddkn. E. M. Keith, J. W. Norris,

The Safest Pl&oe in the Cars.
We find the following paragraph floating
round, and insert it for the information of
those of our renders who occasionally take
a ride behind the iron horse :
M In traveling in a railroad car, which is
tho safest scat in the train ? The American
engineers, as the result of scientific calcula
lions and protracted experience, say the safest
seat is in the middle of the last car but one.
There are some chances of danger which are
the same everywhere in the train, but others
are least at the above named place." 1
A jury in Chnrdon, Ohio, have found, a i

To the Citizens of the Tow* and District cf
Greenville.
It ia known to many of you, fellow-citizens,
that efforts have been making for some
time to secure to Greenville the location of
another important seminary of learning.?
God, in his providence, ha* taught the Baptists
of the south their need of one general
theological seminary of the highest order.
They hare agreed to locate it at Greenville,
provided South Carolina will contribute one
hundred thousand dollars to its endowment,
to be met by another hundred thousand
dollars from the other States. 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. This must be made up amongst us,
and at once. The canvass of the Stato ih
general, thns far made, proves thai it will
require every dollnr of what con be clsowhere
raised to make up the balance Of tfie
one hundred thousand dollars, and unless we
are willing to see the cuterpiise fail, our citizens
most make up the amount 'rviwonnbly
regarded >?* their snare. We have until tho
first of May to secure it In bonds and cash.
At that time the Convention called for the
organization of the institution, will meet nt
GrectivilU*. and it is not unlikely that the
opportunity having been given us to securo
its location among us, and we having failed
to embrace it, there will be other applicant*
for ?n advantage rvliich, it is everywhere
fell, i*. to a town of our size, Jramcula?Iv
with il* institutions of learning, of incalculable
value.
My own duty requires me to canvass other
Marl* of the Slate during the interval.?
If I have opportunity, I will gladly avail
myself of il. to call upon any ciltec"sbf the
District, The Committee of twenty-fuc,
appointed to perform this duty at thq |>i?r
trict meeting, will, donhtless, see as many of
the citizens as possible. Ye'. iqqtf I not
hope thnt such an interest is felt in litis matter
that every citizen, without waiting to he
culled on, will at once come forward and
jennttihute to the utmost of his ability.?
Hum's \yll taj taken, when il is not conve1
nient to pay cadt, payable in two instil!- *
