Thirty-First Congress?1st Session.
Washington, July 27, 1850.

the vacancy' occasioned by the resignation of
the Hon. Thomas Corwiu. Mr. Ewing having

A message was received from the House of
Representatives, by the Clerk, announcing the
death of the Hon. Daniel P. King, a member
of the House from the State of Massachusetts,
j and the proceedings had thereon.
air. Davis, of Massachusetts, delivered a eulogy
on the deceased; and, *after passiitg the
customary resolutions, the Senate adjourned.
An Indian Waiv Bkewinc.?The Van Purer;
(Ark.) Intelligencer of the 6th inst. says:
that on the 16th ult. a party of Chtfrokees and
Creeks, numbering eighty warriors, armed and
equipped for the occasion, marched upon Wee
woka, in the Seminole country, on the ixorui
Fork of the Canadian, with the view of attacking
a-negro town where there were over a hundred
able bodied men, and taking a number of
said negroes, alleged to be slaves of certain
Creeks and citizens of Arkansas.- It seems the
party of Indians camped some ten or twelve
miles from the negro town, intending to go the
next night and charge upon it. The news of
their arrival reached the negroes and they armed
themselves and sent word of defiance to the
# Creeks, and the next day a party of Seininoles,
all stript and painted appeared 011 the opposite
batik of the creek, who sent a banter for a fight.
Upon these beligereut demonstrations, they
concluded to come to a parley.
When last heard from, the head chiefs of the
Upper Towns (Creeks)had repaired to the scene
of difficulty, ami with the chiefs of the Semilioles
were waiting for the arrival of Col. Duval,
the Seminole agent, to go into couucil.
This negro town is a den of runaway slaves
where every negro who can make his escape
from Louisiana and Arkansas is harbored. It
should be broken up by the military; some day,
says lite Intelligencer, it will be the cause of
serious troubles between the different tribes and
the Seininoles, as well as between the citizens
of Arkansas and that tribe.
FEELING AT THE NORTH. ,
The editor of tho Petersburg Daily News, in
some remarks to his neighbor-of the Intelligencer,
expresses his utter want of faith in any
of t!ieS?or\()! Ha^vffeutly kuows something
about it. He says:
"'ilm difference between the editor of the
Intelligencer and ourselves is simplv a matter
of faith. He expects justice from tho Northern
people on the slavery question. We do not,
We have not been unattentive observers of the j
course of the Northern people on this question j
for many years 1 ack. We have lived among j
them. VVe have worked in their printing offb j
ces, and we have listened to their preachers.? j
We have discussed the subject with them at J
their offices, in their counting rooms and at!
their firesides. We wish it were otherwise, I

Their school books teach the young to hate
slavery and slaveholders. The sacred desk is
profaned day after day by fanatical teachings
of enemies of our institutions. The merchant
who is all smiles to you at his counting-room,
when he leaves there at night goes home to ponder
over the frantic exhortations of the 'Independent'
or the 'Liberator.' Our people have
been imposed upon by representations that the
number of this class is very few. The reverse
is the case. The number of those who are for
us is very few."

ten lav one of those strange animals of the sea,
that seem a sort of eruile imitation of the land.
It is called the Sea Cow, and was captured by
Mr. Clark fn St. Luce's Sound, South Florida,
where they are often seen. The specimen is a
bull?the mat# of it having been killed in the
capture. Ris about ten feet long, with ahead
not unlike vlrat of;i cow, very small eyes, teeth
in shape and position like those of a cow. It
has on the breast two flappers, something like a
1 urtle's, hut armed w ith nails. The tail is fan
shaped, tin* skin smooth and of a lead color,
and very thick. The flesh is eatable, and is said
to taste like beef: its vital organization, except
in having tiro hearts approaches that of the
Cow. These creatures feed on the water
grasses in inlets, after the manner of the Hippopotamus.

?We had the pleasure yesterday of a few iniu
tites conversation with the agent lor tne Mate
of Tennesee, Dr. J. G. M. Ramsay, who passed
through Charleston on his way North, for the
purpose of purchasing the iron and equipments
for the Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. We
learn from the Doctor that forty miles of the
Road, extending from Dalton to Calhoun, on
the lliwasses River, are nearly ready for the iron,
and it confidently expected that the cars will be
in motion on or before the first of January next.
Within the year 1851 the rails will be laid on
fortv miles more which nro nlrendv rrrniled
and prepared for the timber. This brings it up

Boston Traveller notices as a fact that cotton
goods made by the Tuscaloosa Manufacturing
Company of Scottsville, Alabama, are now sold
in the cotton market. This is a sign of the
times not without its interest. It denotes that
cotton spinning has already been brought to
such perfection at the South that she can com
pete with the manutacturers,of the East for the
supply of their own especial markets. At present
the remark doubtless applies to only the
coarser descriptions of merchandise. But all
experience has proved that, whore success has
attended the manufacture of those, that of the
finer fabrics was sure to follow in due season.
In noticing the establishment of a new factory
in Georgia, some time since, the Augusta
Chronicle took the occasion to remark that the
day was not far distant when that State would
be able to spin every bag of cotton raised within
its limits. To do so, it said, would require
only eight or ten times as many spindles as are
now in operation in the State.

PUBLIC MEETING.
AT the request of many Ci? izens a Public Meeting

adopt measures necessary for building a Plank

It will be seen by the telegraphic reports that the
probability of the Clay compromise bill passing, is
increased. What, we ask and we put the question
home, to the South, are you prepaied to
do ? What are you determined to do ? Will you
yield ? If so, pay it at once?bend your necss to
the yoke?bare yourselves to the lash?and let no
single brave effort win that shade of respect which
might make the world mourn your fall. But that
is not a supposable case. The South will never
yield. Embodied in that Bill is enough to degrade
and unequalize her lorever; and the South cannot
submit to that. But where is our Lexington ? The
deep policy of the North evades the high and noble
acts (speaking comparatively) that gave us a
Concord. They have 110 Pitcairu. In the absence
of this, shall we allow them to accomplish a worse
object, and stand by and say "they have spilled no
bLood yet." Where are the spirits of old ftlecklenburg!
Every day we are idle we " are fiddling
while Rome is burning."
JSP" It is the Patriots of every age and nation
who live not only on the records of their country's
archives, but in the hearts of their couutrymen.
The aspirant for fame may for awhile dazzle the
eyes of the giddy multitude, but it is the name of
the patriot that Mothers teach their babes to lisp,
and Fathers teach their sons to revere. And who
are the Patriots? Leonidas, Washington, Kossuth,
are dazzling examples. ' They were Patriots
' unit tagaytt&mny "wronj^."
Persia wished to enforce a certain supremacy over
Sparta, and Leonidas met them and perished at
Thermopylae A simple tax was requested by
Great Britain from the Colonies, and the fires of
Lexington electrified the heroes of'76. The Austrian
powers have exerted the will of a majority
over Hungary, and Kossuth has battled nobly,
though vainly, for Hungarian Rights. Yet the
wrongs of all of these embodied in one would fall
into insignificance, compared with the aggressions
of the North upon the South. Have we Patriots
in the South? Why then are their voices not
heard ? Why do their swords not glitter in the
sunlight ? Why does not the Banner of Southern
Rights float with the bright inscription, "We raust
have the stars?or you must have the stripes."?
Let the passage of the Compromise Bill be our
Lexington. Let us have a Bunker Hill about Bah
timore. Fort Moultrie yet stands?and long ere
seven years have passed we mav locate our Yorktown.
Let the Patriots of the South arise. No
longer fondly dream of security?until now they
have said, "give U6 all up, just to save the ' glorious
Union,' don't resist our aggression it might
cause a dissolution"?but now they begin to mix
the hoarse threatenings of "troops," "regular army,"
"the navy," if we do not yield. Let him who
most admires the character of Washington be the
first to draw his sword?to demand all our rights,
and enforce our demand at the point of the bayonet.
The Mayoralty of Charleston.
Several gentlemen have been put in nomination
for this honorable position by their respective
friends in the city of Charleston,'to-wit: <3en. John
Schnierle, cx-mayor, Dr. John B. Irving, Maj. Edward
Manigault and George N. Reynolds, jr. Esq.
The present incumbent, the Hon. T. L. Hutchinson,
declines a re-election.
Hon. R. B. Rhett.
The Mobile Herald says: "It may not be known
that this gentleman is descended, on the paternal
side, from an ancestor of the late John Quincy
Adams, on the maternal side. A correspondent
informs us that the family name of Mr. Rhett is
Smith, and the mother of Mr. Adams bore that
name. Two brothers emigrated to the U S. The
one fixed his abode in Massachusetts, the other in
South Carolina. These were the ancestors of
Messrs. Adams and Rhett."
From Tennessee, Virginia, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida, we hear of public

the Nashville Convention, and new delegates
being elected from counties before unrepresented,
to the next session of the Convention.
Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson.
This distinguished gentleman has returned to
Charleston, his native city, where he intends permanently
to reside. His return is hailed by demonstrations
of rejoicing. A dinner is to be given
him on Tuesday next, by the members of the medical
profession of the City and Neck, who are desirous
of congratulating him upon his return araong
them.
Editorial Change.
B. Garden Pringle, Estj.' has retired from the
editorial charger of the Charleston Evening News.
His place has been supplied by the Hon. B. F.
Porter, whose reputation as a finished writer, assures
us that the News will lose nothing by the
change, but will continue to be one of the best edited
papers ol the day. Judge Porter is a gentleman
of distinguished ability, uamiable and accom.
plished; a genuine patriot, and true hearted Southerner."
Mr. Cardpzb will remain as associate
editor of the News.
Served him Right.
We see that Senator Foote, who is styled a "great
compromiser,'' has incurred the just indignation
at least of some of his constituents. At a recent
large meeting of the citizens of Harrison county,
the following, among other resolutions, was passed:?
"Resolved, That we have viewed with extreme
regret, the course pursued by the Hon. H. Stuart
Foote, one of the Senators in Congress from this
State, in the support and sanction he has afTorded
to the bill called the compromise bill, as reported
by the committee ofthirteen; that in giving said
measure his-suppprt. as he has done, he has aided
in tarrying into effect the very mea^ ure against
jthipli lhe slaxeholdiug states have so loudly rei
mbnstiated, and jp}?ugrossly misrepresented the
wishes and intereists'of his constituents. In view,
! therefore, of the ^reat interests at stake, and the
| imminent peril in which the interests of our State
and of the Union is involved, we do hereby invite
the 6aid Foote to''resign the seat he now holds in
the Senate of the United States, and hope that
similar resolutions may be passed in every county
"in the State." '
The South United.
The Washington Correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury writes:
The recent indications in the Southern States
have greatly strengthened the hands of the true
friends of the Soutnun Congress, and some whose
disposition heretofore has been somewhat equivocal,
have been induced by the unmistakeable evidences
of public opinion at home, to take a much
more decided and bolder position. This has not
been without its effect on our opponents, and many
of them are beginning to calculate the probable
cost of a persistance in their aggressive policy. In
fact, were it not for the supposed divisions, and
consequent weakness of the South, this would be
promptly abandoned. Union and harmony at
home will in the end secure us our rights.
The Compromise.
It will be seen by reference to our telegraphic
correspondence, that two important votes were
taken Tuesday, on Mr. Clay's bill. But we by no
means assent to the conclusion of our correspondent
that its fate is settled. There are several
Senators who still linger in the hope ofeuch amend
ments as will allow them to vote for the bill, but
who, we think, would not assimtto it in its present
shape. These, Wbu Id, of course, vote against laying
it on the table. There will be another effort
made to restrict the boundary of California.

The following amendment to the Compromise
Bill, offered by Mr. Bradbury, of Maine, it will be
seen, has passed the Senate by a majority of two
votes:?
"Strike out all. after the enacting clause in
section 39, and insert in lieu thereof as follows:
"That the President of the.United States, be,
and he hereby is authorized, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to appoint three
commissioners, who shall have power to agree
with such commissioners as may be appointed
under the legislative authority of the State of
Texas, upon a line of boundary between the
territory of the United States and the said State
of Texas commencing at the point where the
Red river is intersected by the hundredth degree
of west longitude, being the southwest angle of
the Indian territory, and running to a point on
the Rio Grand, to Jie agreed upon by the said
commissioners; and also to agree upon the terms,
conditions and considerations upon which such
line shall be established, and the proceedings
and agreements of the said commissioners shall
be as soon as possible, transmitted to the President
of the United States, to be by him submitted

THE DESPISED ONE EMBRACED.*
It was in the days of yore.. The night was
past. And as
"Aurora, fair daughter of the dawn,
Sprinkled with rosy light the dewy lawn,"
a lone wanderer trom the land of Bruce and
Burns, took his stand on a green bluff, and with
pleasing wonder at two conjoining streams
whose waters refused to mingle. One, as if

conscious oi superiority, uasirucu uu un " 1IIV4
ing way, disdaining even a word or look. The
other moved jiertsively by, and thus addressed
the subject of his affection: '',Why this coldnes?
For many days and nights I have been
journeying to meet thee, and, after all, am I to
be despised and forsaken?" The haughty one
replied, "The hill from which 1 gushed is
hedged with green bowers, decked with honeysuckles,
crowned with ancient oaks, and pavillioned
with golden clouds. I have meandered
through gay meadows,smiling fields,and groves
where angels and men hold converse. As I
travelled on, the dews gemmed my bosom, the
showers laid their tribute at iny feet, the birds
serenaded me, the zephyrs fanned me, the lilly
and the violet sipped nectar fro.in my- lips, and
the azure queen, with her maids of honor, used
me for a looking-glass. I am on mv way to
the realms of Neptune, where I may find com
panionship worthy my birth and fortune "
On ? on glided the brooks, side by side they
walked the pebbly pavement. And now the
scornful one gave herself to reflection Thought
she?"if I wend my way to the seas 'lonely and
alone,' the sunbeams will waste me, the cavern
will engulf me, the dike will obstruct my path;
or some tawney giant, from ClaylnntfT will
throw his polluted arms around ine. Better
grant the suit of this plebian wooer, and instantly
she rushed into his arms, esteeming him, but
the more for the lowliness of his lot"
Scotia's son, transported with the scene,
spoke the following words in his own dialect:
" Fair daughter of the woods," Thou dost illustrate
the conduct of many of Adam's children.
Oft times have I beheld the blushing virgin in

suming, but worthy son of a rustic sire, priding
herself on the grace of her form, the bloom of
her cheek, and'the brightness of her eye, like
Bun-set gloriefc whwi the da^is past.* But after
a few lonely years, she has seen loveliness in
sobriety, beauty in integrity; and has rejoiced
to bind the heart she broke.
I have seen the opulent young man, richly
clad and profusely jewelled, as he looked
through the smoke of his cigar, and sneered
at the farmer in his field. But ere five score
months have sped, that same young man has
stood a haggard, tattered, trembling suppliant
at the door of liitn he spurned. 1 have looked
upon the impenitent sinner as he turned, with
sarcastic mien from the earnest entreaties of the
man of God. This was when trees budded and
vernal odors were breathed forth by garden
and landscape. After a few waxings and waning?
of the moon, when the forest was shorn
and the fields were gleaned, I have seen this
same man languishing in his last sickness, with
that once despised minister of the gospel kneeling
in prayer at his bedside." A. G.

MILITARY FAME.
Military fame is popular. Perhaps no species
of renown is attended with greater eclat
and more general enthusiasm. Whatever associates
itself with the name and fame of a people
must he popular. A high criterion may be observed
us adopted standards of mental worth;
elevated and pure may be the literature of " a
country, yet the all-absorbing interest in the
"circumstances of glorious war" seem evor to
nervadeand influence the of public mind. Scarce.
jy more than two circuits of the earth on her
axis have intervened since even as earnest if not
so eloquent apostrophies to the endeared scenes
of the battle field, have been poured forth, as
ever broke from the sorrow stricken spirit of
the Moor in his pathetic adieu to a departed
occupation. Wherever the chivalric emotions
are awakened and high souled valor bursts forth
in its original purity, there the acclamations of
an enthusiastic populace go up, and the loud
huzzas which rung upon the dying spirit of Botzarris,
proclaim " the red field to be won." I
know they are the shouts often of a relentless
foe, often the blinded homage of the over-awed
and astounded canaille, even sometimes the
precipitate and infuriated exultations of senseless
Molochs, whoso savage pride gloats upon
the lifeless forms of their victims, but the thrilling
wonders of a hard-fought battle field become
house-hold legends and appear as fairy
tales in the truthful records of a nation's histor^'
Books and experience teaoh us the magic
feeling which the fame of a hero awakens, The
name of Joshua, whose hoaven-nervod arm and
courageous spirit, crowned the onco brow-beaten
Isrealito with "victorious marches" in the
I plains of Ajalon.and boforo Gideon, is sufficient
I to exemplify the character of military greatness
