Address all communications to TllETKlBtlNE TJKAUFORT, B.C. The defeat of Leslie in the Barnwell court house case was a great triumph for ilic Governor, and Leslie says will kill t'10 party he represents in the county. If it will result in a better class of men ' ring elected frcm Barnwell, no matter nhat their politics, The Governor will have the credit for the change. The last appeal of the Barnwell Agitator is thus described by the correspondent of the JYcifir. ""With tears in his voice, after the manner of missionary parsons, he went crying up and down the middle aisle, pawing the air with^his arms, and in the most heartrending tones asking the Republicans if they wanted their throats cut. /. 9 no one seemed particularly desirous if having his throat cut. Leslie took heart and breath and tried to expound *o them how, if they didn't pass the bill, they would cnt their own tbroatp. Somebody emarked, "You mean they will cut your comb." This was too much for Leslie; he sickened and began wilting rapidly; a few convulsive gasps, in which were faintly heard something that sounded like Mississippi, bullet and knife, blood, armed men, cross roads, intimidation, &c.i and lie sank down peacefully with never a word more to say." At the Memphis election on the 12th iust., over two thousand colored people went to the polls and voted the entire Democratic ticket without solicitation, despite the fact that ex-Congressman Barbour Lewi9 and other extreme Radical politicians worked from daylight to snn6et for the success of the opposition ticket. The Memhpis Appeal mentions, amongst the incidents of the election that a well-known colored man approached Barbour Lewis at one of the polls and, vnnWorinfr him to his heart's content, said: "Farewell, Baibour; we must part forever, ruay the Lord take a liking to you, for we niggers cnn't." At the Democratic jnbilee which tollowcd the announce ment of the result, the colored people look a conepacious part, and several of '.hem carried effigies of Lewis and other pnlitciaDS who'tlicy have heictofore blindly followed. THE WAR CLOUD. The 8eqyetary of the Navy is perplexed because large appropriations are immediately needed, and it is not deemed prudent to communicate to the House the reasons for asking for the appropriation. The monitors are to befitted for fifteeninch gnns, which requires nn enlargement of the portholes, as they are now only large enough for nine inch guns. Ten thousand tons of coal is to be sent to Port [Royal, where the fleet is to be concentrated, yet the crew of the Worcester at Norfolk, who should have been .paid three weeks ago, are still aboard Wailing'for funds that come not. In this dilemma it lias been suggested to the Ih-eaident that he can communicate to :bc-House his reasons for an immediate -appropriation in a confidential manner, as tinder Rule 187 the Ilonse can receive confidential communications from the i'resident; and the same seceresy is enjoined upon oath of members and officers in ?he Senate There is, however, this difference. The Hpuse is made the judge of whether the subject communicated acquires secrecy. So far the navy is in fighting tiim, with the exception of shipping a sufficient number of seamen. All the munitions of war for xctual Uostilhtios arc aboard, and during the past week four more ironclads have ooen put in commissionY. Sun. Editor Tribune. Everything, judging from the outlook, indicates that. Governor ChambeTlain . -ill he the next candidate of tbo Republt in party for Governor, and if the party in wise they will allow on other to be its andard bearer in the coming campaign. he time has come for republicans to put ?nrtb their best efforts to continue and set-tire tothe people the good results brought .bout by Mr. Chamberlain's administration. 1 That the Governor has perhaps made t - ? i. .1- ?* " 'jwiininB appoint mem*, nna to? the 'imc being bss drivrn some of his sop pcrters from him, we will not deny;, but .A ail theee differences they appear to be wthortftl and local mod have in no way vfftfctcil the party orgimiy.ntKm in tho ?latr, ? . That lie Una fronc over to the tlcmocrnv, n mere nonsense, a* n< t a ainple set of Ms wotild warrant smoIi inference*, or .v.<l inconsistent with lifs standing ns a publican. Had he removed honest r publicans nod appointed democrats to (y. - v w r Tvr jtt.t: - -1 tiitm" mmin-y rrrrr positions wo might fool alarmed, auU might think that an attempt was being made to sell out. There arc a certain class of republicans who, whenever disappointed, and confronted with the pri spict of defeat to some of their rascally measures, cry "Democrat," but that little game is played out, and wont work an v longer. The Republican party is of more importance than than success of such men, and wo ore glad that the people begin to see and understand it. The days of bad government have happily for this state, ended, and the demand for pure and undetiled republicanism as set tori li in the doctrine "of honesty and good government" is heard all over the laud, and those men who arcopposed to this maxim, because it might return them to humbler walks of life, must either help to maintain it, or go down in the crush that will come in November. That democrats endorse Mr. Chamber lain is no reason why icpublicans should lose confidence in him. It is the best evidence that the party can put forth such candidates as will couip'ctely disarm the opposition and in the next canvass leave them without the argument that because of bad government there ought to be n change in the administration. The republican party can be so just in all that affects the State that it will command the respect and support of its opponents. Radical.. Senator Sawyer has now an opportunity to defend himself against charges of corruption in connection with some cotton frauds. Either Mr. Sawyer is a very corrupt man or he is very much abused and villified, and it is to be hoped that he will be able to establish his good name orsuffcf for his illegal acts. Under an investigaticn by a commiltee of his political opponents his vindication would be more satisfactory than if made by republicans, as no whitewash would be administered to save him. SST-Tbe busiest spots in Beaufort just now are the trial justice's offices. The fault does not seem to be such a great amount of crime as an encouragement by two recently arrived attorneys (?) to have the people go to law for any trivial dispute or misunderstanding. One of these so-called lawyers, called Lawrence, lately I of Charleston, soems to profit most by these troubles, and, it is said, uudertakes any case for a retainer of from twenty cents up, but seldom gets over a dollar, while in one instance the expense to the county for costs amounted to over twenty dollars. It cc6ts more to run the trial justice's offices in Beaufort than tin whole of the county outside, and some thing should be done to correct the evil, I^TThe Savannah News has been removed to the new building, erected bj Its proprietor, Mr. J. H. Estill, for Its accommodation. The new quarters art admirably adapted for its purposes and wire built with a view to enable the publisher to meet the fast growing dc tnands for tho paper and his job rooms This evidence of thrift in its principal pa per shows that the merchants of Savannah appreciate the value of the News as an advertising medium, and by their liberal support its proprietor is not only able to give them one of the very besl papers in the South, but also to accumu late untold ducats a portion of which lu has devoted to the building of a printing house which is an ornament to Savannah and of which any city migt be proud. Ron Shopard Coining South. A bill has been introduced in the Assembly to charter the South Carolina Land and Improvement Company. Tliii bill is to provide that Wm. Johnson Allen McCaolley, Wm. Keenev. A. tt Shepard, Henry Birch, Alexander Camp bell, I. W. Scuddcr, 8amuel A. Pearce, jr and others, shall be declared a l?ody politic and corporate, under the style and name of the South Carolina Land and Improvement Company of Eeauforl County, with a a capital stock of five hundred thousand dollars,with the privilege of increasing it to two millions. The object of th8 company is to improve such lands as they own or may hereaftei purchase, by laying out the same intr lots, streets, squares, lanes, alleys and other divisions, and of erecting such buildings as they mny deem necessary. The "shares of the company are to be $200 each, and that when one thousand shares shall be subscribed and paid in tlu company shall havethe right to proceed to the election of officers. This looks as though there was some truth in tbe^cport that a ring had beer, formed in "Washington to build up a city in this vicinity in connection with the Navy Yard that is to be established here We hope that theschcme will succeed and some capital be invested In the enter prise as we cannot fail to l>e benefitted by it Sammy Oreen is pressing the bill and wc bare no dqubt he will find it a bonanza worth working. -i J The House has expelled the correspondent of the Chariton News from the gallery where he took refuge after being deprived of his scat at the reporters table. I The correspondent wrote an "apology11 which the House considered another insult, and they were not far wrong if we admit that they havo any dignity left worth preserving. Tney certainly have none to apart'. ? The United States corvette Mon??nga- | hela has nlreadv arrived at Key West, and the flagship Brooklyn will reach there before the end of the week. Tlicy will rrtidezvous at Port Royal at an early day, and will become part of the home squadron. The Juniata, of the European squadron, is now at Port Royal, and I it is understood that they will complete the quota of vessels culled home from foreign stations. ^ ' In the vote whether the Barnwellj Black ville bill should become a law not- ^ withstanding the Governor's veto, we find that Bampfield, Gantt, B. Simmons and Whippcr voted in favor of it, while 1 Miller and Robertson sustained the veto. 4 Beauiort county representatives still oppose Mr. Chamberlain, and it is to be V>f\r*o/l ' * j Mississippi; through the northern portion , ^ of Lousiana, Texas, and New Mexico, crossing the Kio Colorado near its junction with the Gulf of California, and striking the Pacific const at San IMego, which also has a magnificent liarhor. i As the Gulf stream runs immediately in front of the mouth of the harbor, vessels i will be quite free from the extreme cold s and boisterous weather of the northern stations. Much work is now necessary in the way of shops, &c. For the present, instead of a special building, a coinmo. dious vessel will be anchored here, to be . devoted to hospital purposes, and the . construction of buildings will be advani ced as speedily as the appropriation will permit.?N. Y. Sun. Mr. Whipper delivered a remarkable ' speech last week in the Assembly in an- 1 swer to the charges brought against him. The following extract will show the ' spirit of the defense, and it will be ad' mittcd that some of his assertions cannot be disnrnvwl *?'' r ? ...tuoun me testimony or the devil himself: ' 44 When Moses is a saint in heaven, i Chamberlain will be howling ;n hell. D. } H. Chamberlain is unfit for earth; to 1 heaven he could not ascend, and in hell ' itself the devil would spurn him out. Chamberlain is a black-hearted traitor, and he has gone so far that he must take . the consequences. He has resisted the . will of the people, and the same spirit | which rose in the time of Charles I. will , rise now and behead him. The constitu , ' tion commands the Governor to issue ; commissions to all 8tate officers elected, ( and in refusing so to do Chamberlain ] proves himself a perjured wretch. The ] Nsws and Courier, the Democratic organ . 1 of the State, smells of hell. I feel it my ' s duty to myself, to my supporters and to my race to take my seat as Judge at all 1 ( hazards, and will either be. denied that ' position by law or be relieved by dcaih.

Pout Royai., S. C. Jan. 17.-The Congress, carrying sixteen guns, arrived here to-dnv, and Port Royal will henceforth * be designated officially as a United States nnvnl T'? ?1 ' ..VUXUII. 1M lliy IO the wants of the North and South Atlantic squadrons is most admirable. The harbor is one of the largest and most sheltered a'ong the entire coast. Port Royal Bar is situated" between Charleston and Savannah, on the 32d degree of north latitude, 3 minutes and 40 seconds; longitude 80 degrees, 80 minutes and 40 seconds. There are three entrances to the harbor; one 17 feet in depth and a little over 800 yards in width, another 19 feet in depth and about 1,200 yards in width, and n ihird 20 feet in depth and about 300 yards wide. There are two tributaries to the harbor, Broad river, having a wide channel and an average depth of five fathoms for ' nearly twontyseven miles, and Beaufort river, with u depth of seventeen feet to within three miles of Beaufort and thence about fourteen. For three or four years the settlement of Port Royal, twelve miles back from the harbor, has been regarded as the 1 "New City of the South," in consequence ot its designation as the carstem terminus of the shortest line of railway to be constructed from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic ocean. This railroad scheme has in view the union of the North At- j lantic and North Pacific oceans, Snn Diego, Cal., being the western terminus of the line. From Port Royal the rail- ' way is to exfeud through thehenrtof the 1 j cotton States-Georiria. Alubnm.v ?M?O??? JAMES E. BOYCE, | Wholesale and Retail Grocer. LIQUOR DEALER. I* A Y ST., Beaufort, S.
