14 Congaree," the Washington oorrespond- * ent of the South Carolinian, writing under : date of tba 24th iost., saye t The Committee of Conference hare thia < moment made their report, and reoommeod the passage of a new oil!. Thia bill ia in substance aa follows: Recognises tbe regu- ? larity of tbe Lecompton proceedings : states . that Congress cannot agree to tbe claims of the schedule attached to tbe Lecompton Constitution in referenoe to tbe public lands; 1 that, therefore, Kansas be admitted as a State into the UnfSn under the Lecompton Constitution, upon the condition precedent I that the people of Kansas shall assent to the < action of Congress in reference to the public ( lands, snd in the event that Kansas should not assent to (bis matter about the public lands, then Kansas shall not be admitted into the Union until the census shall show a population of 93,000, at which time Kansas may come into the Union. To understand this matter, you must remember that the Lecompton Constitution claimed thegreater part of the public lands in Kansas, and tbe right to tax the public lands. This grab gamo could not be acceded to by the Federal Government. Congress, therefore, proposes to give Kansas the same interest in and control over the public lands as are given to Minnesota. The Green amendment js struck out of the bill. It is thought that the bill will pass as recommended bv the* Committee of Conference. The Black Republicans on the Conference Committee? Seward and Howard?dissent from the action of the majority of the Committee. The Black Republican party will of course oppose the bill in its present form. Judge Douglas and his immediate adherents likewise oppose the bill. It is understood that all the Southern Senators, except Bell and Crittenden, will support llio bill. The States of Iowa and Michigan wore < admitted on conditions. In the case of , Michigan, the condition precedent was that she should ngieo to modify her boundaries. ( Tho impression is general, among the host 1 informed men from the South, that the Kan- t sas bill in its present form is unexceptionable. Taking it for granted that Kansas should not bo allowed to seize all the public land, then the best possible mode of regulat- c ing that question is to make her assent on r this point to a condition precedent. The Senate bill, as it passed the Senate, dissented to this claim of Kansas to the public lands, c but did not teach the point as effectually as fi the present mode. To admit Kausas with- e out determining the land question, would be t to leave open for contestation a matter which , should be disposed of in advance. Suppose . Kanm in fltlmiltml wiilmiG lioumr* v ........g u.piwicu her willingness to yield her' claims on tho 1 public lands, and she should grab them all : under right of eminent domain, what could the General Government do ? Nothing but " yield, or naake war against a State. The House is crowded, and tho proceed- ' ings are listened to with intenso interest.? t The House will take no vote to day on the , bill. The vote will be taken in all probabil- < ity to morrow. Our Railroad.?It affords us pleasure i to be able to state that the prospects of our ? Railroad, still grow brighter. Tho Union- , ville Journal says that the President, Col. John L. Young, who has just returned from the North, succeeded in obtaining iron c enough to complete the whole Road.? I This is very fortunate for our Road, consider- t ing the present low price of Railroad Iron, and the great probability of its rising; and the friends of tho Road have reason to congratulate themselves upon this achievement of the President. Maj. Govan Mills, of our town, has coin- r menced preparations for laying tho iron It with thirty hands. In a short time he will u double his force ; his characteristic energy ( and porserveranco give full assurance that no effort will be wanting to briug on the I toad as fast as possible. He expects to I have it finished to Uuionvillo by the time of the next meeting of tho stockholders, c which will take place about the tirst of r August.?Spartanburg Express. 4th July?Thk Grave ok Washington. The Federal Union says: "As the next ' Independence Pay comes on Sunday, would a it not be a good idea for every congregation p throughout the entire country, to take up a j collection on that day, to assist in the pur- . chase of the Grave of tho Father of his Country!" ' We approvo the suggestion, and if it t could only be generally understood and act- t ed on in every part of the country, a mere r pittance from each member of the innumerable congregations would more than accomplish the end in viow. ( We would suggest, also, as apposite to j1 the times, that a sermon on the christian ! v duty of patriotism be preached in every ' church on the same day.

There was an uninterrupted fall of snow for ( about five hours, but owing to the dampness of the ground, it melted away as it fell.?

An Interesting Scene. ^ On Sunday evening last, after the usual erenionies at the Baptist Church, the ordi- Q lance of Baptism was administered to twen- h y-three candidates?of these, three were b olored persons. The church was crowded J1 roin floor to gallery by a iargo and interest- d congregation. It was the first time since ho completion of the new church that the laplistory has been used. The candidates vere principally young men and young f< adics, and we do not think there can be 11 in*thing more interesting, than where the foung are seen to give themselves to the lervice of Almighty God. Among the e lumber who presented themselves for bap- j ism, we noticed a sweet little girl of not ii nore than eleven or twelve summers old.? 't was, as the good pastor said, "enough to nuke the strongest sinner troinble." Youth I1 s the time to begin the servico of the Cre- ^ itor, and we are happy to see a goodly a lumber of the young men of our town conlecting themselves with the different branch- f< >s of flic christian church. The ordinace of laplism was also administered to a large j lumber of applicants at the Methodist 0 Church on the same day.

Died, at his residence in this District, of consumption, on Monday, the 12th instant., the Rev. T1IOMAH liAMMEtT, in the 80tli year of his igo. The mysterious workings of Providence often leave us in wonder and astonishment, and weure only reconciled by the reflection that they unfounded in Divine wisdom, and that we are only too short-sighted to perceive the purposes to be accomplished. This reflection applies particularly to the deceased. Bnt two short years have elapsed since his prospects, for an earthly career, ap|>eared bright und cheering, lie was the pride and hope of his family and friends, and the object of admiration anil high respect by his neigh- | bors aud acquaintances.

His sufferings, which wero long and ax- ' ceeaingly painful, were borne with a quietness 1 and resignation, perhaps never surpassed; and he | approached the hour of death, and received the ( awful announcement from his physician that he was dying, without the least slnrm or excitement ' Ids only solicitude being for the welfare of his j wife and children?having three small children, | whom he knew would feel the necessity of a fa- | titer's care and council. Thus died one of tite best and moet promising of young men, and that, too, as only a christian cau die. Resigned to Divine will, with faith sufficiently strong to remove all apprehensions as to his condition in the | future. We may well reflect and inquire why is this? which can only be answered that God, in his providence, has some wise purpose to accomplish, 1 which, for the present, is concealed from us.? | Ills family and kindred, while they mourn the lose of one whom they iovod dearly, and looked to with hope nod itride, may comfort themselves < that he has passed to a better world than this, i that it is pro|ier that he should have done so, and that lie who holds the destinies of all things in his hatid*. will he a hustiaiid to the widow and n father to the fatherless, 1 To fin PMpk of QnmtIIU DUtrlct I have recently been solicited bjtnany persons ? be a candidate for the Legislature. It U reasonable that every one, who has the proper pride n country, shouBl ha tie some'ambition i mtake a part In itn government, but in thin all shoold be M>tuated by the purest principles of pstslctism, uid neither to leek nor to 'desire position with uiy other view than to advaaoe the general welhre. To do this, It is often at the sacrifice of evary correct notion of propriety, and great pecu alary loss lb those who cafivgss for onlah, besides the want (od the part of t^e public) to duly appreciate the motives of those asking its suffrage ; lence the reluctance to occupy a position before he country, that although well sustained by the Ions and waste of the community, yet liable to be iefeated by the rabble, and deigning demagogues. It ia, however, (among patriots and wise iten,) contrary to the dignity of the man or the ofJce to run down the people to obtain it Every lover of his country should hold himself -eady, at all times, to serve the public, whenever, by its free and unsolicited choice, it may see pi i>per U) coufer appointment upon hist. lite state of the country just now, and coming events, demands all the patriotism and wiaiom of the nation. A crisis Is now at hund, that will tost the longer continuance of the uuion of the States. It hae beedtne evident tlint the South "vvi ?M>vwuu, vr ?urrenu<T h nrm Upon which depends it* industrial and political existence, and that the only alternative which seems to bo left is, to draw the line of separation, and to Announce to the North, and to the world, that we have withdrawn from the UNION, and have let up for ourselves; that tho day for compromises have passed, and that the South knows her rights, her interest, and her property, and knowing them, dares to maintain them. It ha* come to thie, and now is the time for the whole South to make a stand, if ever. The etnergeney calls for l united front to meet the issue. A.? much as I desire the perpetuation of the Uniori, I ean see no hope for its continuance ; and to depend upon the acquisition of Cuba, in order to mainlniu an equilibrium of power between the North and South, may involve consequences to the nation, Bven moro calamitous than those now threatening the dissolution of tho Union, and create a itnte of things that will disturb both our foreign ind domestic relations. It is a dangerous policy, to say the least of it. If the present Administration, in its ambition to accomplish some great naionnl enterprise, to imuiortaliee^himtclf as the Jblef Magistrate of the country, and to avoid a wreck of the Union upon C1LLA, he may find iut, when too late, that his policy hasdriven both Himself and the nation upon CARIBIDES. These, fellow-citizens, are briefly my views, which I claim the right to advance, having and feeling a common interest iu the affairs of the government, which I always exercise fearlessly. I am under no restraint in giving my opinions, whatever. Born free, live free, die free?this diould he the motto of every one who deserves to be a freeman. If I wiah to gaze at tho Sun, or to address myself to tho Moon, both my will ind uiy vision are unobstructed. I am not a candidate for the Legislature, nor diall I ever offer myself aa a candidate. If in the opinion of the people tlioy shall think ine (unliticd to servo then), I will obey their nppointnenu This is tin- true dignity cf position. B?t to announce myself as a candidate, and engage n the scrambles of a canvass, according to modern custom, I must beg my friends not to suppose hat I am so fur behind the progress of the age is to sup|K>se of me that I shall do any such hing. 1 shall nnk no man to vote for me, nor will 1 ride over the District a single mile to obtain office. It is enough for me to obey, if the people sec proper to give die the appointment, ind to serve them. I claim nothing tor myself, hut it is the dnty of every man to make some personal sacrifice for the general welfare, oud I nui prompted by no other motive to serve the public in any capacity ; if I were, I would be unlit for the putce. J. POWELL. [row the southern enterprise.] Io the Citizens of the Town and District of Greenville. It is known to many of you, fellow-citizens. that efforts have lieen making for sonic lime to secure to Greenville the location of another important seminary of learning.? God, in his providence, has taught lhe linplists of the Soulh their need of one general theological seminary of the highest order. I'hey have agreed to locate it at Greenville, provided South Carolina will contribute one hundred thousand dollars to its endowment, lo be met by another hundred thousand dollars from the other States. Of the amouut to be given by South Caiolina, the kbaro of Greenville District, by a vote of its awn citizens, at a public meeting called to consider this matter, was put down at twenty-five thousand dollars. A few citizens have already subscribed sixteen thousand dollars of this amount, and to the rest of the District is left the balance?nine thousand dollars. This must be made up amongst us, ind at once. The canvass of the State in general, thus far made, proves that it will require every dollar of what can 1*5 eUeahere raised to make up tlio balanco of the one hundred thousand dollars, and uuless we tre willing to see the enterprise fail, our citzens must make up the amount reasonably 'egarded as their share. We have until the first of May to secure it in bonds and cash. At that time the Convention CAllcd for the organization of the institution, will moet at Gireenville, and it is not unlikely that the opportunity having been given us to securo its location among us, and we having failed x> embrace it, there will be other applicants for an advantage which, it is everywhere 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 Stale during the interval.? [f I have opportunity, I will gladly avail myself of it, to call upon any citizens of the District. The Committee of twenty-five, appointed to perform this duty at the Dis trict meeting, will, doubtleu, see as many of the citizens as possible. Ye*, raav I not bopo that such an interest is felt in this matter that every citizen, without waiting to be sailed on, will at once come forward and contribute to the utmost of his ability.? Houd* will be taken, when it is not convenient to pay cash, parable In two instalments, the first on the first of January, 1850, the second on the first of January, 1860, drawing interest from tho first of January last.
