The members must he heartily tired of the subjects of the discussion of the late session, and will hard.y reopen them with mucligoMf. The members who j voted for the compromise measures will not. j t f course, seek to disturb them; and there are many who favored the measures who had not ; ?i the ptock to vote for them, and will now dis- j co?rage any renewed agitation.

It is rumored that arrests of slaves are to he attempted in Boston very soon. It would be ! unfortunate if any irritating incident should oc- i cur at this juncture. The repeal movement! will be made by some Ishmaelitcs in the Mouse and be suppressed, at least for the present, by the general voice of the body. The arrestot Gov.

I notice that the expenses of the Commissary I Department are increased about live millions 1 over previous years. The cause of increase is, , mainly, the employment of a large portion ofJ the United States army, including many mount- \ ed men, in the new territories, where expenses } are verv great, and will continue to be till the ; resources of the country shall be developed. I Mr. Benton's string of bills embrace many j more measures than the Presided recommends. 1 Io.\. j Washington, Dec. 5. ! The present week so fir as Congressional business is concerned, is closed, by an adjournment over to Monday. Thus one week of the ! * i >1.. i session has passed \mnoiu a renewal <n ?i.i- , very agitation. There is now some 'nope that i Thaddeus Stevens, Gate, Root, Giddings 6c Co. | will not be able to excite a storm in the House, ! by agitating repeal on any slavery topic. Senator Butler appeared to-day in tbe Senate, and three representatives are now in their places. Thus it appears, that the Senators and Members from that State will await, in their seats, the final action of their Legislature upon the resolutions which are to direct their course. Under the resolution of the Legislature, adopted last Friday, directing an inquiry from the federal authority as to the motives of sending | U. S. troops to Charleston, the Governor has, it is said, written a letter to the President. The troops, it is s rid, were destined for Texas, and, as every one must know, their movements had no reference to a state of things which may hereafter occnr. There was a time, however, some eighteen years ago, when the government thought it necessary to send a considerable military and naval force to Charleston, to enforce, if the occasion should arise, the collection of duties. It is not probable that it will occur again. Tho U. S. government would not, in case / -? ? - :?..e rv...?i:.... .1,. 01 mo solitary secession ui ouuui v/iiiumiu uu more than that to tak? the precautions against the violations of oar revenue laws. An appeal to force?or the denial of the right of a State to secede?on the part of the general government, is just what the secessionists would most wish, ? for nothing would be better calculated to enlist in their lavor the sympathies of the already half disaffected southern States. The demented north rushes upon its fate. Vermont has, by solemn legislative action, put j herself out of the pale Union, and it is to be^ presumed, that the southern states will treat her accordingly. Vermont leads the van in the nullification of the fugitive slave act. 1 am not sure that she will not he followed, though at some short distance of time, by other status. The tone of the message of the Governor of Virginia is high enough for any practical purpose; and there is something in it more than talk?it proposes action. It proposes a retaliatory system of measures which will strike Hnwn the bonds of the Union, even though thev were of steel, instead of sand. There is no doubt that these measures will i C, and there was no doubt of it even before I nontacted. North Carolina and nearly, all the Southern States will follow the lead of i Virginia in the adoption of this retaliatory sys- j tern?which, in fact, is a suspension of corn- | mercial intercourse with the North. This war j of legislation will rapidl y carry us back to the i state of things that existed before the Federal Union, and "which men call Chaos." lox. The Dead Alive! or "Truth Stranger than j Fiction."?Robert Shean, a resident of Middle- j ton, in this county, was on board the Anthony j Wayne at the time she blew up on Lake Erie, ! last April. After that dreadful catastrophe a body was found floating on the lake which an- ; swered his description and no doubts were en- j tained that he had lost his life by the explosion,1 and that the body which had been found was j Viic Tti? hntlv wn(i taken and buried in one of i the church-yards of Sandusky city. A large 1 circle of friends, to whom he was endeared du- ! ring life, and who sorely lamented his untimely and dreadful death,raised a subscription among ; themselves and erected over his supposed grave j a suitable monument to his commemoration. | Judge of their surprise, when about two j weeks since the actual Robert Shean made his i appearance in their midst, a living, moving be 'i I.I i . i .. :.i lllg, lii good llt'JMUl, OUl covcriu \>IUI Still?. j Judge of the welcome which he received when 1 they were really convinced that it was indeed him. One actually having list n front the dead could nut have met a more heartfelt, joyous re- I ception. Orders were promptly dispatched to Sandusky city to have the monument removed frtmi his supposed grave. It appears that when the Anthony Wayne blew up he was severely scalded, but clinging !, to a piece of the wreck, he floated upon the i lake until he was taken up by a vessel ami car-) | ricd Ut Detroit He lay under medical treat j went at Detroit Cor a long while, but having at 11 loll if? ti recovered, he repaired to dunuuskv citr in ex.'imiiii'ig the grave yarns, witu a view o4 ascertaining who on imam lue .Alimony Wayne had perished, he read the inscription on the monument which his friends had erected to ins memory.

SOLTilliILN Kluli l o PARTY, It is a subject of gralnlatiou to every true friend of the .South, that there has at last been formed, a party whose endand aim isthedefeuce of Southern Rights. We say "at last," because it is the lirst time in tbo history of the party struggles of a half century, that a political organization has been based on the single, great and patriotic principles of Southern defence. Heretofore, the l ederal (iovermoiit, its honors and emoluments, have been the Mecca on which parties and partisians have steadily fixed their gaze for their reward andjninishaioiit. While struggling with a vehement energy worthy of a better cause, for these ephemeral prizes, the Whigs and Democrats of the South, have been heedlessly blind to the dangerous inroads which Abolition has beetl steadily making on theCoustitutiou. -While fighting for straws, we liuvo lost our constitutional rights in this Government, ami have suffered its vast powers to pass into the hands of the enemies of our institutions, who make no secret of their purpose so to use those powers as to devote them to distraction, But at last, thank Heaven, the South is partially restored to reason, and the late alarming and rapid strides of the Government towards the accomplishment of its Abolition ends, has given birth to the Southern Rights party?a great party that is destmedto absorb the spirit, the manhood and the patriotism of the South, and to save it from the "l'oul domination" which would prostrate its honor, its rights and its liberties. This party has already achieved its first great' liiiniii.il.. if h-.o lii-.lL-Ull nnfhnnlil nnlifii>:i I nr. ........J... ........ |?w ganizations of Southern whiggery and Democ racy, in the dust and heat of whose conflicts, inestimable principles; and interestsvit;il to both, have beon forgotten. The Southern Rights party already embraces in its patriotic ranks the masses of the Old Democratic party and a highly respectable minority of the old Whig party, Standing out against it, as yet, but soon to join it under the certain pressure of northern aggression, are the majority of the old Whig and the minority of the old Democratic party. From these last, the ranks of the Southern Rights l'arty are to be recruited, until before two years, the South will be, as fully united as the Americn Colonies' were, in their Revolutionary U-M.... nrt.M.f oc nn. IMH.H". .. V thing, the late defeat in Georgia. If the Union Submission Party is true to its purposes and principles, and dares to execute its threats of adjourning tho convention without throwing down the gage of battle to Northern Abolition Powers, that course will but hasten the result of Southern Independence, and overwhelm the guilty authors of sueh a policy. If on the other hand, it make a stand for the rights of the South, our great party is already in '.he advance and will battle with them for liberty and justice. The future then is blight for the Southern Rights party. We invoke its leaders, its presses, its rank and tile, its well-wishers to stand firm, to preserve their organizations, to keep up their Southern Rights Associatioi s, to act with energy and maintain the fight, until either the ! . . .

He prefer* the title of" Union and State Rights Society," hut is not sure that " Non-intervention Society," would not be better.

Southern Press. Artesian Well.?The famous Artesian Well, commenced in 1832, atKissengen, a city of Rhenish Bavaria, is ju&t finished. This immense work, of wiiich the workmen began to despair, lias given results which have never been seen before. Kissengen is situated in a saline valley, at nearly 300 metres above the level of the B.dtic Sea. In the month of june, 1840, after seventeen years' of hard labor, they had succeeded in reaching a depth of 500 metres, (a metre is about 30 inches:) before getting to this it was necessary to cut through several beds of salt, separated by masses of granite. They then arrived at the first hed of carbon acid gas, followed by new masses of granite, and finally the 11th of this month, a violent concussion knocked away, without injuring anybody, the scaffolding which masked ttieorifice of the well, and then was immediately presented the curious spectacle of a column of water 12 centimetres in diameter, which rose with prodigious force to the height of 30 metres, spreading then on all sides like the branches of a magnificent palm tree, and thus forming the most extraordinary jet d'eau imaginable. The water, clear as crystal, conies from a soil of a temperature oi sixty-six degrees ui ranrenucit, ami gives a volume of twelve cubic metres a minute. It is forced by an atmosphere of subterranean ofcar! bouic gas, acting with the force of fifty ordinary atmospheres.?Charleston Sun. Miss Claret and Miss Ropes?A new modr. o f promoting Temperance, at Sea.?The captain of a ship had laid in a basket of claret for his own table. After being some time at sea, as, he was overhauling his cabin he thought more bottles were missing than he could remember of having used. While reflecting upon the sub ' ject, the idea occurred to him that probably i the cabin boy was the cause of the deficiency. ; To ascertain the truth of his suspicions, he conI cealed himself in a state room, and waited mi til tlio time fur preparing dinner. They hoy soon came in, and having arranged the table, went to the basket, took out a bottle, and said, "Jean Von Dorsteu, horn in Rotterdam, intends j marriage with Miss Sosiua Claret horn in Bur; gundy. .Notice is hereby given lor the first, I second, and third times; if no man appears to | forbid the bans, the ceremony will immediately ' take place." The roguish fellow thereupon placed the bottle to his mouth, drained it, and cast it out of the window. The captain said nothing, hut alter dinner went upon deck, proj vidod lumself with a good rope's end, and called the hoy to him. "Jean," said he, "I've got something inter ' osting to ti ll von ; I'm agoing to haveyou mar| lied." "J?s," ejaculated Jean, casting an anxious 1 glance at the rope's end, "have me married, captain ?" "Yes. Now listen, and see that it is done according to law." The captain elevate' his voice so as to ho heard all over the ship, and cried, "know all men that Jean von Dm.-ten, horn in uotierdam, intends marriage with Miss llarhari I'opes, ho;:: in itussia. Notice is iie.ehv given tor the first, second, and third times; it no man appears to fo;hid the huns, the ceremony will immediately take place." Hereupon the jolly sailor raised his arm to perform this interesting ceremony, but beforo it descended, Jean proclaimed in a loud voice, -I forbid the bans." " Wliat, v?u rascal." said the captain, "did you not "drink uiy claret?" "Yes; hut if you know it, you also know that I did it all according to law. If any had forbidden the bans as I do now, I should not have touched if." The captain could not repress a hearty laughAt length he answered, "This time I'll let you go, hut remember, if you ever cast your eyeS on Miss Claret again, you shall be wedded, toAiiss Ropes in such a style that you'll not forget the ceremony to your dying day." / CAMDEN. S. C. / TUESDAY EVENING, DEt;K.MBER/lO, 1850. Hon. William McWillieW Member of Congress from Miss., a*d formerly a resident of our town and Senator from this District in the State Legislature, arrived here on Wednesday evening last en mute for Washington. Lippincctt, Grambo & Co. The above gentlemen have got into a terrible fix because the Hornet's Nest accused them of Abolitionism. The Camden Journal copied irom the Hornet's Nest, an article relative to thpm, which paper copied from the N. York Day Book. The honorable firm above sent down lately, peremptory orders to the IIoi net's Nest and other papers to apologize for their assumption. They now say, that all the papers have done so, except the Camden Journal, and in a very condescending manner "hint^thfr probability of their indicting us lor libel, but at the same time offer us their most worshipful clemency, if we will publish their circular. Now, Messrs. Lippincolt, Grambo & Co., if you will pay us our advertising rates, we will publish your circular?and we will tell you some thing else?we still reiterate the Hornet's Nest doctrine. VVp go with friend Badger ali the way; and now when you come South to indict its, we promise yon as the first step toward an hovorabte reception, the most cordial cowhiding imaginable, j Libel! Lippincott, Grambo Si. Co. are you not in | favor of Clay's infamous bills? If so, what are j you but Abolitionists? Is not all your concern for j your pockets? No, Lippincott, Crambo &. Co., you will get less Souther * trade, to build Abolition Societies upon, hereafter, we hope, than formerly. Something New. It is news to us that'the South has no right to secede and that a Southern Congress wouid be Treason. We consider the source from whence this sentiment emanates?and we attach no further importance to it than to ?ty that we are not surprised at any thing now-a-days?sincpso many species of new things as weil as new men, should suddenly spring into existenct?it is a prolilic time, and a harvest for political jugglers, as well as for new phases and kinds of Demagogues.? There is more than oiip kind of this article; the term demagogup is not intended alone to be applied toa ranting faction orator, who manufactures i msspeecnes ana sentiments 10 sun circumstances | ?a single signification of the term therefore is not t sufficient scope to allow to deinagogueism?it ' may he found in various shades and colors, from the ranting, raving Sewardite who, by one fell act of "higher law" would deluge our plains in blood, as a sacrifice too small for his base and guilty ambition, even down, by rpgular gradation, to the mean contemptible colporteurs of abolition sentimimic tnulor \r r\f ? n t\/Jor!?irr m*nfr?<aQnr?lnn<5 ..icmr, KIIUU v. y. w...r- , who insidiously are accomplishing the same end to which the "higher law" portends. In our present critical juncture, we cannot too carefully enquire into the motives of all new men or characters who come into our midst from suspicous quarters, under suspicious or doubtful circumstances. (These remarks are intended, we take occasion to say, only for those who have no visible business or calling in our midst, and are not by any means f nrtnli.nl tn 1mnp<t mPfl. who unfortunately hail from the land of Seward, Hale and Giddings.) This is no time to dwell upon the abstracts ot the question?let us come right up to the mark, let us meet the issue in the face? how is it, we ask, that men are allowed free egress and ingress in ourStatee disseminating the seeds | of discord, exciting jealousies, expressing their [ opinions in opposition to others, and remain in i our midst, whilst a southern man can't go to Boston and reclaim his fugitive slave, when legal auI thorities are in his favor? There is something new in this matter that we cannot understand? when we reflect that southern men, whoso salvation, in a political sense, depends upon themselves, we want every man to show his colors?those ; who are not for us are against us?no middle ground here! Let us try at all events, so far as ! we can, to expel the Arnolds from our camp. Let us have men, if we can get but few, those few firm! tried!! and (rue!!! Let the infallible* test, "bv their works ye shall know them," be indis' rimiimtolv nnnlivJil mid if thn isnpoi.il rnmmitteo ol Vigilance, whose duty it shall be to provide ways and means, cannot satisfy themselves in regard to the precise location of these transient gen, tlemen, who are so actively engaged in promulging treason, let the interposition of the lex non ! scnpla of Judge Lynch be at once vigorously call| ed into requisition. It is something new to us, that certain individuals should assume the right of j dictating to us what we ought to do?what we i onnrhf not to do. what is treason, and how and when, and nil that. This we eay is the acme of impudence, capping the climax of impertinence. 55TThe submission men at Washington, md their Northern masters, are throwing up their hats in great giee, at the return of onr <h legation.? They take it as a si^jr index tint South Carolina will submit. I.ittle do !liov know the indices to S.-ttlh CaiolinaV intent ii.ns. Never was she more detertniui d?never was she more active. The . Hessian scribbler X of the Baltimore Sun thinks I that a compliment from "his great self'?his own egt> ipse meum?will be most humbly received by | Judge Butler, and will uo doubt have the effect of t drawing hitn over to submission. Uis worship speaks of the humble Butler as tLe "Chevalier llayard, sans jiner el sans reprocht" Never compliment so well deserved, but near did it come from so a i-ource. First Meeting of Congress in th?uNew Era. This is the caption of a leading article in the. Southern Preps, of the 3rt Mist. We regret that our limits w ill not allow us to copy the> entire editorial; it is a comprehensive view in. a shorthand way, if we maybe allowed such language, ol'the present position of the Federal Union. Commencing with this proposition, that although Congress has met under the forms of the constitution, the government has undergone a fundamentalchaimo, ' being no longer a Federation, but an electivo.de>potism. A great revolution is accomplished.^ nd the constitution of 1789 survives only in fot.n.? The article goes on to show the feeling that at present pervades the southern States, and coiwcludes hy asking why is there any southern haciti.wardndss in meeting the assaults of the North? particular reference is mad e to Ceorgra and Virginia?in the conclusion we find the iolloning strong and manly appeal to the South in general,., to Virginia in particular: 0 "Is slie to submit to plunder, to insult ami ' di fiance, with no better excuse than quibble and equivoque? If these things should happen, then the institutions and character of the South are blasted, and will soon totter to their fall. The great fabric has not l?een overthrown by convulsion, nor worn out by age, nor borne down in battle; but lias withefed even before the frosts of autumn, by the first wind from the. North in September iast. We don't believe that the vitality of a great i i.i i..

"Is the voice of a eluggurd, I hear her complain? * You have waked me too noon, I must rluraber again." Rut we tell her itt the language of one of her own arch enemies, that "a voice has spoken in the ear of this mighty nnlinn, saying : Sleep no more." Congress "ha* murdered sleep." Fugitive Slave Law. vv e see a number of our exchanges state that if the Fugitive Slave Law is repealed, then it will be time for Disunion. This is a most miserable subterfuge. It resembles the man who, after his antagonist called him thief, rogue, villain, coward, and a number of like epithets, told him ifhe dared to say that he was no gentleman, he would strike him. What is the repeal ofthe Slave Law to the Territorial and Texas billp. The admission oF California or the partition of the American Poland CTexast is an outrave UDOn the South which is' beyond comparison lo the repeal of the Slave law. But that is done and they will submit, and if the Slave Law is repealed they will submit to that too. He who submits to being called a tbief, coward, , &c., will not show much fight when you say he is "ik> gentleman." What a great pity that Congress don't pass a la w that every man who does not free his slaves shall be. hung?these same fellows would submit to that but would swear that they would fight if Congress made them pay a tariff on the hemp that made the ropes for hanging them. They who do not resist now will never resist; they are impatient to thrust their tiecKsmto the yoke, and vi e most heartily wish them success. Itinerant Yankees. We again call the attention of the committee of Safety to these itinerant scamps canvassing our State. What are their business ? It is not har.i to conjecture. It i? surprising indeed that measures are not taken to search, drive off and tar and feather every one of them. We are sleeping in IJercuIaneum and Vesuvius is rumbling with its inwar<T fires. , The following extract from the correspondent of the Charleston Evening News will show what the North think of our resistance. Shall we not teach them better, or shall we be the just objects of their sneers ?
