A launch arrived ri- to-day, from St. Joseph's and La Paz, reports n- that eight men?among them two officers?had lie been surrounded at St. Joseph's by 140 mouube ted California*, and taken prisoners, y. This was done in sight of the little band of ed about eighty men garrisoned at St. Joseph's, ill under Lieut. Haywood, of the Independence ig frigate; 60 that the Lieutenant can only defend "f n.wl il.mc m.t frtol sain to venture his lit tlo band among five times bis number who now j et surround him. Lieutenant Haywood is a brave er officer, and is really in a bad fix, and the actions y, of his superiors is strange and unaccountable, in He has no vessel to flpe to, and must remain er housed until relief i.s sent from the commodore. Is Colonel Burton is at La Paz, in a similar situatit tion, defending himself but thinks it not prur-Ident to risk an engagement, although he has w* < a??gmptrttt-L-U JJ-'. .* I the means of retreat, having the Cyane sloop of war at anchor near him. Now this is the "quiet possession" of California so much spoken of. The truth is, the volunteers cannot he depended upon, and even if they were good, there are not enough of them to do any thing; I think it quite probable that in case of attack they would go to tire enemy. They submit to /Koi?ir,Hni> and are disorderly and refractory. "" "-""I Of course there are among them some exceptions, bur. the majority of them are only n plague to their officers and not to be depended on. The country should be given up, or a suf. fieient force sent to protect it and sustain the government; at present every thing is unstable, and in a few days the whole country may be in possession of the Mexicans, from Monterey to Cape St. Lucas, Governor Mason and all. San Francisco is the only safe place, and the safety of that is to be attributed to the absence of the volunteers, there being but twenty there, and the population ubout equally divided between emigrants and Califoniians. As you go South this is not the case, and in Lower California three are ten natives to one of another country. Having been through the lengih and breadth of the land, I write from observation and not from hearsay. Yesterday two of those volunteer officers arrived from La Paz under arrest, having been sent over by Colonel Burton for disorderly and un-officer like conduct, and are on their way to upper California to be tried there. I'hey were sent from a place closely beseiged by the enemy, and within the last six weeks three several times attacked, and at this moment held, with the enemy, lour times their number, daily in sight and only kept at bay by the Cyane sloop of war remaining moored there. And yet these men Col. Burtui finds it his duty to arrest and send away. One of thmn is a Lieutenant Lemmon,{a dentist formerly.) the other's name I do not know. February 2.?

The New Orleans Delia and the Crescen! publish a full account of the Court of Inquiry, as late as the 2lsl, that day included. It contains some queer matters, and strikes us as being a disgrace to almost every one concerned in it. We have no space to extract an intelligible account of it, and indeed, are r.ot inclined to put on record so striking an evidence of the weakness and vanities of our chiefmililary men. We shall forever hereafter have little respect for the cloth, and are half inclined to vow never to vote for a military man tor any office, Con. Taylor excepted; who stands out above the whole army, as a genuine, manly man, in whom duly is paramount on all occasions to self. The whole of this Court of Inquiry (as is plainly manafested in all its proceedings) originated in the Leonidas letter. The evidence shows that (Jen. Pillow had. something to do with the eulogies which some of his toadies heaped 011 him so profusely. This praise cxcited the jealousy of Scoit?and the result is this pitiful court ot record of men's shame and weakness. As far as it has gone, we can tell very little, of the culpability ami vanities of Worth? perhaps he did not exhibit any, but Scott and Pillow's stand out staring plainly through all the ostensible motives. We have copied in another column extracts of letters to the New Orleans papers, wherein a great deal of sympathy is expressed for Scott. In reading the proceedings we feci none of this Tlu? rnudiirt of that nflicpr before nj Jijj>diitj * "v. ? - - the court seemed to have been devised expressly for exciting sympathy and pity. If'it had not been however, his querulousness, complaints, and small winnings like a baby after a toy, are enough to deprive him of it among men with any dignity of character. A true man would never have made Pillow's childish and pitable vanity the occasion of so much fuss; having committed the error, ho would have exhibited a manly, sell-relying, uncomplaining spiril in defence ofconsequences. It is mortifying to be obliged to write thus concerning men some of whom have exhibited the most consuinate courage and military skill; but the truth ought to be told in this case pat lieu* larly, for the weakness of such men arc more likely than those of less prominent individuals to infect society and breed bad results. Wo published yesterday a report of a speech made by (.Jen. Scott 011 the third day of the Court. It was in some respects erroneous. We therefore extract below a report of it purporting to be verbatim: ".1 [r. President an Gentlemen of the Court:? Here in the Capital of Mexico, conquered by 1 * ' ? ?

Again, Mr. President, 1 repeat my attitude is that o['defiance." The "junior" here alluded to is (Jen. Worth.

After some unimportant business, a messag was received from the President of the Unite Slates, and read as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I communicate to Congress, for their info rnatiou.a copy of a despatch, w ith the accompi nv'iff doeiimonts. received at lie Deparlniei "J "& 1 - . of State from the Envoy Extraordinary ar Minister Plenipotentiary of the United Stati at Paris, giving official information of the ove throw ol the French monarchy, and the csta1 lishment in its stead of a Provisional Goveri ment, based on Republican principles. This great event occurred suddenly, and wj accomplished almost without bloodshed. Tf world has seldom witnessed a more inferestir and sublime spectacle than the peaceful risii of the French people, resolved to secure f themselves enlarged liberty, and to assert the majesty of their strength the great tru that, in this enlightened age, man is capable governing himself. The prompt recognition of the new gover ment by the Representative of the Uniti States at the French Court which meets n full and unqualified approbation, and he h been authorized, in a suitable manner, to ma! known this fact to the constituted authorities the French Republic. Called upon to act upon a sudden emergen* which could not have been anticipated by 1 instructions, he judged rightly of the foe I in and sentiments of his Government, and of 1 countrymen, when, in advance of the diplom; ic representatives of other countries, he w the first to recognise, so far as it was in his po' or, the fiee government established by t! French people. The policy of the United States has ever be* that of non intervention in domestic affairs other countries?leaving to each to ostabli the form of government of its own choice. While this wise policy will be maintained I wards France, now suddenly transferred fr< a monarchy into a republic, all our sympathi are naturally enlisted on the side of a great pi pic who, imitating our example, have result* to be free. That such sympathy should exist on the p: of the people of the United States with t friends of free government in every part of t world, and especially in France, is not rental able. We can never forget that France \\ our early friend in our eventful Revolution, a generously aided us iu shaking off a forei yoke, and becoming a free and independe people. We have enjoyed the blessings of onr systi of well regulated self-government for ik o ? three-fourths of a century, and can properly r predate its value. Our ardent and since congratulations are extended to the patrio people of France, upon their noble and tf lar successful, efforts to found for their futi government liberal institutions similar to i own. It is not doubted, that, under the benign fluence of free institutions, the enlighten statesmen of Republican France will find it be for true interest and permanent glory to c tivate with the United States the most lihc principles ofinternational intercourse and co niercial reciprocity, whereby the happiness a prosperity of both nations will be promoted.

Resolved, That we lender our sympathies r hopes ol success to every poeple who are sei ing to establish lor themselves free and ratioi governments, and that whatever of blood a treasure may be shed or spill in a struggle of I oppressed against the oppressor, is to be eha cd to the unjust resistance oft he oppressor, u strives to hold and exercise the rights of I people, usurped against their will, and cxereh lor the benefit ot the few and the oppression the many, and not to the people, who seek 01 to regain and exercise their natural rights ; such manner as will best secure and pruim j their own happiness and safety. Mr. Ashtnun moved to amend the fourth re i lution by inserting: "And we especially see ! encouraging earnest of their success in the i creo which pledges the new Government Franco to early measures lor the imrnedii cmaosipation of all slaves in their colonies." Mr. iSclienck proposed to modify this arnet ment by adding thereto: "Recognising, as 1 do, thai great cardinal republican princip that "there should be neither slavery nor inv untary servitude except for crimes-" Mr. Ashmun accepted the modification. Mr. llillard was in favor of resolutions congratulation at the proper lime, hut was i in lavor of immediate action. Mr. McClernand spoke strongly in favor the resolutions, and of immediate action. Mr. Haskell was also in favour ofthe adopti of resolutions of sympathy and congratulatic and opposed the amendment of Mr. Ashir.t He desired to oiler a substitute for Mr. Cu v. l.iilnni Jiiit it %vns not in order. (IllII s Ii'auiuiiu.i?,?v.. .. Mr. ('. J. ingersoll uddrcssud the House favor of immediate action. Mr. J. K. Ingcrsoll was in favor of ev stronger resolutions of congratulations on ci tain points, and wished a reference of the rei Jul ions to the committee on Foreign Rclalii for that object. Mr. Cummins advocated the passage of I resolutions us introduced, and addressed t House at some length on the resolutions soj rately. Mr. G'iddings made a few remarks, chiefly the slavery question, as connected with the cent action of the French Provisional Cove meat on that subject, and as it existed in t coil II11J . Mr. Bayly followed in favor of expressing I sympathy of tho nation with tho people France. Hejthought that the subject should i come before the]House in this manner, nor fr< a Standing Committee, but that a Select Committee should be appointed to report resolutions >fl worthy of the people and government of the I United States. Mr.-Duer said that whenever his voice or i : vot could do anything towards abolishing slave , r* ry, that voice and that vote should be given; and ( x* at the proper time he was prepared to give his 11 views on that subject. But the introduction of 'd the question of slavery into this discussion he 28 considered uncalled for ana improper. Our exr* pressions of congratulation and sympathy should lie made unaccompanied with any declaration n' here, on their part, in relerence to this question calculated to weaken the force of the resolutions. ls It was here moved that the further considerie ation of the resolutions lie posponed to Tuesday '? next, and that they bo made the special order *rr n t . t _ J _ , ;b lor mat uay. ijo.m. |)r An adjournment was moved, upon which the m and nays were ordered, and tho motion was decided in the affirmative by the casting vote ofllie Speaker. ?

The Hon. James A. Black, whose deceaso \v? have above recorded, was a son of ibe Hon, Joseph Black, who was an aetir in the srenca ofihe Revolution, and who fir a long peri?xl of service filled the offices of Senator from Abbe, villi*, and of Treasurer of the tipper division of the State. The subject of this nolice entered the regular army in 1812. ami served in tho division ofCieu. Thomas Pinckney during tho ' war. After the peace he retired from the af- f ' my, and was elected to llio office of Cashier of the Branch Bank of the State at Columbia. * About four ye irs ago he was elected to Con. gross from the first congressional district of thin Stale, comprising Spartanburg, Union, York and Chester. He was desirous of withdrawing from public life at the fast canvass but hu con* stituer.ts insisted on his re-election. Mr. Black was an active; useful and efficient Rcpre cntative of the State. Bv bis sagacity, hi* force of chameler and bis admirable knovrl. edge of men and of the world, he made him-elf in wha'ever sphere lie moved. His devotion to his friends was generous and uncalculating; and the commanding influence he exercised among those be represented in the National Councils, is an evidence of the appreciation they placed upon his qualities of head and o| heart. He was a firm friend of the cause of. Temperance, and exerted a most beneficial in. fiuenco in its behalf. Those who knew and appreciated him in private life, will havecanao to regret the decease of a warm and faithful friend, while to his inure immediate constituents and to the Statu at large, his death involves the loss of a tried and faithful public servant.

When the contract was let out last year, th? Post Master General, stipulated that the stages were to go to Manchester, and receive lb? mails on 1st of January. The contractors ?ajr that they arc anxious to do so, hut that tho ; i -' * 1 company have not matte arrangements to de. liver them. Others deny this, and say that tbh is not so, hut one thing is certain, that the Sumter mail has hern delivered for two month* - %. past, at or near Manchester, and why cannot tho other. I wish also to know what can ho the reason that the company has made so little progress in laying the rails since they crossed the swamp. 1 am informed that they are not over two miles on this side of Manchester. This is too* had. If they will give us no dividend, let u* have the benefit of the route; hut I suppose their great minds are so filled with the plan of running a road to Chaianooga or some other out. landish place, that they have no time to think of such a trifling Village as Camden. Tho people of this trifling village have lights as well . * as the Company, and they ought to assert them. They have got our money, and why not finish the road. It is a great shame and a disgraco to the directors to suffer such things to be. A SUFFERER. MARRIED.?OniheOth inst. by the Re*. W. F. Brasington, Dr. W. C. Caijthkx, of Lancaster, to Miss.
