"JVith this number does the fourth volume of tbe Southern Enterprise, and we are pleased to stale to our mnnv kind n* ? j r*~ trotis and friends that our paper is still increasing in favor and patronage. Four years ago, the present proprietor issued the first numbe-, ahd sent it abroad without having a single subscriber upon his mail book. Since then he has labored hard and energetically to keep it going. Not an issue has been missed. We have not even permitted sickness, the loss of workmen, or tho holidays, to interfere with its regular publication?and it has steadily worked itself into popular favor, until its subscription list is large and respectable, and its advertising patronage as large as country papers generally attain. For which we arc thankful. It is not our intention to make any promises for the future. Its present conductor has no idea of leaving it, and his readers must take its management for tho past four yoars as an earnest of what he will do for the future. Commencing alone and unassisted?influenced by no one in what we have done?and actuated only by a de*ire to do what is right, we shall continue to follow wherever truth and justice may lead us. It could not bo expected of any one, to pursue a life like our1*, without making mis takes and being guilty, at times, of indiscre lions. We know too well that we have not been exempt from these defects. We ad mil them all, ahd whilst the past has given us an enlarged experience, we fear that the future will often find us in the wrong.? Should such be the case, we beg that indub] gence and forgiveness which mistakes of the head, and not of tbo heart, are entitled to. With bright prospects for the future sue. cess of the Enterprise, we commence the beginning of the fifth volume. We shall introduce the paper to our readers next week with several new improvements. Kind patrons! again we thank you. The Butler Ouards. This handsome corps paraded through our streets on Saturday last, under command of Lieut. A. D. Hokk, and made a very pretty appearance. The Company went through several very interesting military evolutions, performing tbem well, much to the admira 1 tion pf ^he m#ny spectators. Judging from their performance on Saturday, we would pr??dict for them a career of usefulness and honor. The Guards hare already received froro the commnnder-in chief, the compliment of bejpg the best-drilled corps in the State, and we do not think that they will bo disposed Ui yiold the distinction. The Greenville Hand wan present on the occasion, and as usual, furnished delightful piusic. May J)ay. The pupils of tire Deluxi SohooJ, Attached to the Episcopal Church in this plane, had a very pleasant liule celebration on Saturday last. The addresses of the children were very prettily written and well delivered.?

Con I siderable praise is due to Prof. Botcb for his indefatigable labors for the cause of the i institution among the cilisens of this State. 1 Four Professors have been chosen as fol i lows : Rev. J. A. Broadcb, of Virginia, Rev. i Basil Manlt, Jr. of Virginia, Rev. E. T. winklgr, of Charleston, and Rev. J. P. I Bore*, of Greenville. The exercises of the ; Seminary we learn will commence in Sep < teinber next. The Professors elect, it is i thought, will accept.

Gen. Thompson's Lecture , f The South Carolinian speaks as follows t of the lecture of this gentleman at the r Athenaeum, on Monday evening last: " A large and Appreciative audience assembled, in Athenaeum Hall, last evening, to 1 hear a lecture on the Fait, Present and Fu ture of Mexico, with notices of some of her e illustrious men. The lecturer, the Hon. 1 Waddy Thopmsen, is well know as former * Minister to Mexico, and was, therefore, well * prepared to speak on his subject. The lecturer was interesting and instructive. After reviewing the past and present history of that unhappy country, with sketches it c Cortex, lliirhide, Victoria, the Ilravo's and f Santa Anna, Mr. Thompson indulged in s some speculations as to her future pio-pecU, ] He thought that these were associated with . shadows, clouds and darkness.

M This suspended South Carolina money will bear the same relation in value to Georgia money that the Georgia bank hills, while the banks were in a state of suspension, sustained tbwards gold. " The bills of South Carolina banks will be it a discount, and are now at a discount of trnin nnn. nviu vnv una ?v vuv yvi vvu? ?*. vui in the purchase of exchange, or in obtaining current funds for pasroents at the banks. " We are uot prepared to say what will be the result of this condition of affairs.

The results in the future will be developed as we go along and reach the points."

There was an attempt made in Montgomery, a few nights ago, by some burglar or i burglars., to enter and rob the Adams' Ex, press Company's office, in that city. The ( watchman, who was inside of the office, heard the boring process going on, nnd was 1 waiting patiently, and fully prepared, for the entrance of the burglar. The gas was i rained just high enough to give sufficient , light to see the person as he entered the office; and one or Colt's revolvers was ready to greet him with a perforating reception.? From some cause not known the borer , quietly withdrew, and thus prevented a I coroner's inquest. If he had entered the office on that night, he would have had not less than half a dozen balls quickly put into his body. In all the" Adnm's Express offices in the i country, there are reliablo watchmen ou duty at all hours of the night, and every , preparation, in readiness to give burglars a grand salute. Many private lesidences, and many stoics, are also provided with these 1 conveniences; and the burglars have now, in a great measure, turned their practices > into* pocket-picking chnnnels, and operate on railroads, in crowds, die.

The (louse Committee on the Judiciary have already propured a majority report, which is adverse to the assumption of a doubtful power hjr Congress to pass a genornl law of ; bankruptcy, particularly designed to include banking corporations. Tho policy of such a law, when brought under tho discussion of ' Congress, will be mixed with some very ini genious questions of constitutional construe ti<>n, as it is known that some of the best legal minds in the country maintain that the provision for a bankrupt law in the Constitution contemplates traders only, and does not include >banking corporations.

FEVER AND AGUE?AN INFALLIBLE CURE.?We defy the world to produce any medicine which does not contain Quinine, Bark, Arsenic, Mercury or any noxious or deadly coinpound, to cure this annoying disease so effectually as Carter's Spanish Mixture. While itemtains none of the above named dangerous arti clcs, yet it possesses a power in relieving and curing Fever nnd Ague, which cannot be approached by any of them separately; or in com binntion. It aets specifically on the Liver, Purifies the Blood, opens the pores ol the Skin, and' assists nature to expel from the system the seeds of Disease, or what is as bad, the romains of the Mineral Drugs, which clog and finally destroy the constitutions. See the cure of Mr. Longden of Virginia.

The Oxygenated Bittert contain nothing which can intoxicate; and the medieine has no similar- i ity whatever to the various alcoholio mixtures disguised as "Bitters," being purely a medicinal compound, in wliieh are combined the most valuable remedial agents, and a peculiar oxygenated property, hitherto unknown, but highly ef- [ fieaeious in all complaints arising from weak ness and dernngment, or prostration of the stomach and system generally. It is a mild and agreeable tonic, removing all disagreeable symptoms, and assisting nature in her efforts to restore the impaired powers of the system. Sexm W.
