i lie town Council nucls to lii^ht. Time vssfcls of the Fleet have arrived. >. O. Jom-B Esq. cierk of the House, is in town. A fire in Allendale last week destroyed property Worth $10,000. The rounty commissioners meet tomorrow to receive proposals for past indebt cdness, nod for other business. Wantrh.?Copies of the Thibckk for T* March 24th. for which we will pay 10 ' s cents each. S. D. ^Gilbert and Joseph Ro I in son have been appointed commissioners of election for llianfort County. i ? * In the U. S. Court m Charleston last week Marcus Chisolm was convicted of stealing U. 13. pr< perty and was sentenced to pay $100. fine, or go to jail. * ? ' Lay after tomorrow the two murderers will he lumg ii* the ijoveruoi does not interfere. A large crowd is expected, * unJ all will have a chanro toj>ee the execution as it will be public. The sulcs of delinquent property for State and Couuty taxes takes place May 3rd. Every one who has not paid up should not neglect it any longer. Delay will only add to the costs. The Schooner Hattie Turner ITupper Master sailed 6unday foi Konnehunk Ale. with 238.000 feet lumber from the null of D. C. "Wilson & Co. The entire cargo was loadi d ins-de of seven days. t II. Pinckncy Walker Esq. II. R. M. Con.-ui in Charleston and Captain Jones R. N. of the British Legation at Washington paid our town a visit last Saturday. They were the guests of Captain Boutelle. Capt. Arnold of the \aeht Annie run his boat on one of the sunken piles in th<j Savannah river last week and stove a i y liolc in lior bottom. The cargo of cotton > seed and groceries was damaged and the i boat saved by running her ashore. Tt.- T> - 1! ^ * * i iiu nrmun^ unnm A^npiatinn * promise ? treat tomorrow evening at the Sea Island lintel, in the shape of a Sociable and 'leaparty. Every friend of the Association should pive the occasion their presence (and their 50 cents.) to Be!p along the enterprise. Attention is called to the advertisement of the County Auditor in another colmuii regarding forfeit- d la- ds. It will >c Seen that parties having lands forfaited can ? ow redeem them, and also that in case where th?y were forfeited on ?xoc?si\e assessments the tax and costs may be reduced to a fair amount by application to ti:e Board of Equalization. The Union Herald says that a claim passed the house 1?> r $250, and afnrwards the amount wa< fraudulently raised to $2,250, simply by prefixing the figure 2 to it. As there va? only one claim of 1hnt amount aud that in favor of ltob?,ft Btualls, we are given to uud retaild tl.at ^ the clerka tried to forc e on Mr. Smalls the small sum of $2000. But they failed. The election in this C<-unty for Senator, two Ri pfesentativea aT>d a County Com missioncr has been ordered tr> take place on May 15 h. Candidates are plenty as blackberries, and every hour fresh names are mentioned. The canvass promises to be spirited at least unii' the nominating convention meets, after which the course will most likely he walked over by the regular nominees. The printiug will be done at the Tuibuni*. office. v Owing to the Tec nt reports of yellow fever at Key West and Havana all vessels from these porta will her-'sfter he quarantined.

' In our last issue a wrong meaning was given to the opinions of onr worthy Intemlunt. He did .not say that the Governor was too honeat for the good of the I party, bnt that he was too honest to sutiefy the greed of members of the party wlio arc only Republicans for g..in, and make a gr-ut show as ]? ad rs.

I' What may be done at the next annual meeting we cannot tell, but if mill men on the line of the road have to pay demurrage on vessels because they cannot : ( get their lumber carriid to Port Royal, we think a change would not likely be n detriment, to the interests of the stockholders.

I i \y j Direct I'ltAtiK. Mcn.-r? Peter Papm ? & Cii. nave added another enterprise to Port Royal. They announce the Stlir. Ida Smith to nail on the 33ml. inst. direct for Nassau and the West Indies. This line will cpen a uew field to this enterprising firm and i\e doubt not but < they will make it a success. The ship- ( incut of guano to Port Royal trom Nassau ? already an important trullic and freight outwardly will offer as 6;)on as it is known ihut wo have facilities lor its trausporta- f lion. The firm promise shortly to put 01s a line of steamships. Aiay their most s.ing;,; .e hopes be realised and their efforts crowned with success.

A , convention is therefore called to meet at Richmond, August 19. "for the purpose of considering and adjusting all political > fiannncinl and other questions toucniug ' your interests and prosperity as freemen and members of a great commonwealth." The sooner the colored people of Vir- < ginia and the entire South come to the conclusion that there are no "political, financial and other questions touching < their interest* and prosperity as freemen ' and mcmb'rs of a gn at commwealth," ] separate and distinct from the interests of the white members of the same com- : monwealth, the better it will be for them. Under the existing laws they have all the right* of firceinen-they aro equal before the law, and have the same guaran tee with tin ir white lellow-eitizens of "lift' ^ liberty and the pursuit of happiness." With this thoy should be content, not ' forgetting that, the same upright, honest, intelligent system of government that T secures these rights to tlie wliit.es must r secure the same to them. . 1 Qn.vKORue.?All is mt lovely among brethern of the Orange, i he.
