his whirling brain almost exhausted to the last stage ofreason. The morning at length broke;.but on whata sfpectaelo of misery did the sunbeams play, as they: bioke through the curtainless windows of his chamber,. and how he strained his eyes to look-on the first approach- of light-for blood on his hands, there was none observable, but ho thought he saw some on his arm, and almost vrild with despair he dashed him self on the bed and burst into a flood of .tears. Poor old Mrs. Grosset heard the noise, and allowing it to subside a little, cautiously approached his door, then opened it gently, and called "Mr. Bruce' a little louder than a whisper; Bruce groaned but spoke not, she called again in a louder tone; Bruce exclaimed in a pitiable and heart-broken accents, 'Oh, Mrs. Grosser! Mrs. Grosset! what on earth is the meaning of all this?' 'Hush, Mr. Bruce! hush for mercy sakel do not speak so loud; people might hear you; and I have come with good news to you there will be a chance for you to get away to-night after dark: keep quiet till then and all may yet be well;-just be quiet-and in the mean time I will bring you some new milk, and some bread, it will keep the life in you for awhile. But-Oh dear! oh dear! what will your poor father say?' the old lady closed the door with her speech, shutting in the question Bruce was about to utter with a groan, and walked away for the milk and bread. The old lady deplored the course she was taking: but desperate cases require desperate remedies, and as she carried the uncomfortable breakfast to the young man, she could not help weeping; and when she reached his bedside, her tears flowed in torrents, and Bruce looked on her with repentance and deep contrition written in every feature. But his heart was too full to speak, for the grief of the Old Lady restrained his question, and out of respect to her grief, which was doubtless caused by him, he looked on her as the raised the corner of her apron to her eyes, and slowly walked out of the room, shutting him in again a lonely prisoner, for the space of another entire day. When evening arrived, poor Bruce was wasted in mind and body, and seemed more like the wreck of a pro tracted illness, than the young gallant over a spree. No sooner was it dark, than Phillip and his wife, hurriedly, yet softly, en tered his room, and commanded him te dress immediately; at the same time producing a suit of Phillip's clothes, As he hastily drew them on his naked, body, his heaviness of heart was appar ent in every movement, and when he had finished, he looked up with tears in his eyes,-then falling on his knees, he cried in a piteous and imploring tone, 'Dear freends, and freends of my fath. er, I implore you for his sake and foi mine, to relieve my anxious mind, tell me, for God's sake, what I have donc; tell me, or my heart will break.' The old man turned away to hide his tears, then looking at his wife he said,--'Ml Mary! Mary! the price is too dear; poot fellow! it might cost him his reason, but Mary was inexorable; and she said sternly yet fer-' - ",' tell Mr. Bruce, fot your own sa' not tell, you, nor I will allow a. ~.. n~ to but, to relieve your mind, I will ..nmise to tell you .on certain conditions.' -'Name them! name them!' he cried. "Well then,' she said, 'if you do noi 'learn too soon, to your for sorrow-thit me'ight twelve months in this very houst you must come here-I will tell you thc -whole appalinigcircumstanccs that hiavt worked this awful change on our house: I will tell you, I say, on the condition that during that time you will not drinh one drop of intoxicating liquor.' 'Bruce groaned, and tremblingly ex. .claimed, 'No! no! tell mec now; for God's sake, me now!' 'It cannot be,' answered the old lady, anfd hurried him from the house, arnd Bruce was soon lost in the darkness of the night, and with sorrow in his heart, he hastened across the country, to the distant parish in which his father dwelt; taking bye-roads, and mountains, and moor-land tracks, to avoid thre gaze of Jiis brother men. One year passed away;-a long and dreary year it had been to Bruce;---he stood again on the hospitable floor of Phillip Grossett, who with his wife was seated by the side of a cheerfully blazing &e; the 'big ha' bible' lay on the table, an~d Brueo impatiently awaited the ex pianation of the awful mystery that had weighed on his heart so long a time. At lengih the old lady turned round, and re moved the spectacles from hier nose; thent looking steadily andi in silenue at him, said, '1 pereeive-Mr. Bruce--with some joy that you are not the man you was the Jast time you was hero-are you Mr. Bruce? 'No,' Mrs. Grossett, thank God I am not, and but for the~ secret you keep from me, I think I am a happier man,' ho re plied. 'I am glad of it likewise, that I have no scoret to tell--only that I did all this, to make you pledge your word you have effected my purpose; have I not, Mr. Bruce?' the astonishment of Bruce at this announoement may be easily, congeived, -aid, to make a long yar od, he toqk the PLEDGE, and has not broken it till this day, nor this day either.

PEGUEs, Esq., Camden, S. C. Mr All communications intended for the BANNER must be directed Pagt Paid to the present EDITOR. Cotton. Charleston.-Prices from 7 8-4 to 10 cents per pound. MAIL FAILURES.-The Columbia and Northern papers have failed twice during the week and the Charleston ones on Mon day. Who is to blame? The officers or the Post office Department. BRADFORD SPRING's FEMALE INSTITUTE. This institution, under way since the first of July last, we are happy to state, has assumed a position that its most sanguine friends hardly anticipated from so short an experiment. We say experiment, because during a short fleet ing month every thing requisite for the main tainance of an institution of the highest order has been procured, and as exigencies, have manifested themselves they had to be accom. modated. The Trustees may congratulate themselves on the choice of the gentlemany principal they have been fortunate to obtain, as may also be said in reference to the lady as sistants. We paid a visit to the Springs during the week, and must confess were very agreea ble disappointed. We found a well appointed and regular School,-(for take the word as you may it is the more forcible expression of the designs of the Institution,) of thirty young ladies, who are, and have been prose cuting their studies for the last month. And while we commend the school, we must not lass lightly over the Burser's department. Mr. and Mrs. JENKINS, with great zeal and perseverance, seem to have overtopped the formidable obstacles that met them at the onset, they assumed their charge while the Institute's grounds were barren and unculti vated, and notwithstanding its situation, they are enabled to place before the young ladies, as substantial and great a variety of food as can be met with in few like institutes in the State. The Company present great induce ments to the public, they not only have ob. tained the most available talent, but they place their terms considerably lower than any institute in the State. The government of the school is ent irely paternal, and it present ed to our eyes the appearance of a large family. That it must undoub:edly succeed is unde niable and the public may rest assured that on its maintainance the future happiness of generations to come depends. ID. B. Mc L~AUnrIN, Esq., wvill furnish the public with the Company's terms, and wve in conclusion wvould advise a visit to the Institute; situated ill the most delightful and healthy position perhaps in the State, removed from the attrac tions of the world, with excellent preceptors, and all at an excludingly low price, forms a desideratum hardly to be met with in any portion of the Union. We were privileged to attend a meeting of the Trustees on Sat urday and the zealand earnestness manifested by the gentlemen, is the surest guarrantee of the excellence of the !nstitution. Sir Johni Frnanklinu. We deeply regret that, after holding out every assurance that an expedition should be sent by our Government to search for Sir JOHn FIInKssus, the whole liberal plan has been abandoned. ft shows the import anIce of promising nothing, ini a national point of view, without the authority of Congress. It would have been a great triumph of hu Inanity could we hive succeeded in discover.. mng tha~t intrepid navigator and his crew. We fear, howvever, that it is too late. Sir JOhN FRaNxrLIN left England, in May 1845, in the Erebus and Terror, victualled for three years, wvhich, wvith care might have lasted four years, as that time has elapsed since the vessels were last seen. Hie wvas instructed to proceed up Barrow's straits to the vicini ty of Cape Walker, at about 74 1.4 deg. North latitude and 98 dog. West longitude, and to seek au passage through Behrings strait. If the ice prevented, lhe was to return to Capo Walker. [t is supposed that Sir JoHn did attempt the Northern passage and if lhe is alive at this day, he is hidden away and imprisoned fronm human sight amid the unexplored solitudes boyondl the icy desola. tion of Mellvill's Island, and it unfortunately happens that these are the regions in which no search~ has been made for him and at this late period the hope of saving him is but small. ARTEsIAN WELL.--Ifl a note from Francis S. Holmes, in the Charleston Courier of August 10, weo notice that the water- bearing stratum has been passed, hut wthhout procuring the expectedc supply of water. Cantoman-a. Thy proclamation of General Rrr.sv, ap. Pottling a time:and place for the election of Delegates toa Convention seems to have en responded to in a spirit of trenquility ind or. der which looks as if it was the intention of the people to establish agovernment forthwith, and from the speeches of Hon. Thomas But ler KING, and others, it is probable that a State, instead of a Territorial, government may be adopted. We see.no good reasons against adopting that course. A Territorial government is only the precursor of a State government, a mere protection to the people when feeble; a species of guardianship to be succeeded by a state government when the population shall conf within the provision of the law. Instead of California becoming a mere territory,a bantling to be nursed, coaxed, or punished by Congress, that rich country walks at-once into the Union, with her own government an laws, her Senators and Rep resentatives; she is not a minor under spe cial guardians, but comes into the Union as a sovereign state, capable of making her own laws, and not a feeble territory to be kicked, cuffed and maltreated by a gang of abolition ists and freesoil speculators in Congress; she will have her state legislature, can organize her militia, pass her own laws for the protec tion of her mineral wealth, her agriculture and internal improvements, and will at once spring into national existence, with a republican gov ernment, which is the only feature required by our Constitution for admission as a state. California a state, with her Senators and Rep resentatives, what becomes of the Northern political speculators who are preparing their incendiary speeches, and their traitorous plans supposing they are to have a territorial bill as a platform for their nefarious plotsl We hope the convention in California will do up the work promptly and satisfactorily, finish their constitution, fix the boundaries, elecc their Senators and Members, and make a single days work of it by obtaining admit. tance forthwith, to the satisfaction, of, at least, seven-eights of the whole Union. The com. mercial prospects of California are not very flattering, speculation has been carried too far, great losses will accrue on the first movement until some fixed and stable plan of government shall be adopted. Gold is there, yet the small quantity which falls to each tnan's lot from severe daily la. bor will leave nothing, after meeting heavy daily expenses. It is like all experiments, men must learn from practical observation. But it is no doubt, a great country. With a sound government, with law and order prin ciples and good faith-a rail-road to facilitate and shorten travel-commercial relations opened in the interior and on the entire coast, an intercourse with China, and the surround. ing countries, and new sources of wealth developed. California, with its fine climate will become a rich and powerful state in the Union. E. J. ARTHUR. Esq. Editor of the Palmetto State Banner, has retired from the Editorial Chair, leaving the paper in the hands of Mr. I. C. MORGAN, who is to be its future Editor. WILSmINGToN AND MANCHESTER RAIL RoAD.-In the Marion (S. C.) far of last week we find the following gratifying state ment in regard to the operations on the Southern end of the Wilmington and Man chester Rail Road. The contractors for gra ding on this end are also going on witha their respective sections in a commendable man ner. "WVe are happy to learn that the prospects for our Rail Road are encouraging. We understand that a portion of t be contracts for grading on the West of Great Pee Dee have been completed and that the work is ready to bc received. Gen. Evans, who has a large contract in the vicinity of the village, has com mnenced work, and we understand that a great many of our farmers contemplate employing the interval that ehapres betwveen the laying by and the season for gathering the crops, in ac tive and energetic wyork on the road. We hope to have th~e pleasure, at the end of six months, to announce to our readers that the entire grading of the road between Darling ton and Little Pee Dee has been completed." ELEcTION RETURNS-The intelligence from Trennessee announces the election of Trousdale, tihe Democratic candidate for Governor, by 3,000 majority, and a democratic gain of several members of the Legislature. From North Carolina, we have large Democratic gains in many of the counties. ALAnMAu.-We have returns only from Montgomery county, where hlilliard leads Pugh about 200 votes. The majority for Taylor in November last was 420. ACCIDENTr. The Stage from Newberry Court House, to Columbia, on Friday third inst. whilst en dheavoring to cross the creek near Coleman's, 18 miles below Newberry, was overturnedl and the creek being very high at the time, and the current running with great force, Stage and Horses were wvashed into deep water, and three of the horses drowned.

Benbow, after which Dr. James Macauley came foward and pronounced a most admirable address which for beauty of diction-high toned patriotism free, clear, and vigorous thought,--frequently r:sing into eloquence, was of an order rarely exhibited on such occasions. It was indeed worthy of ths occasion and worthy of the speaker, and received by the audience with the most rapturrus applause. Dinner was then served and after the cloth was removed, Capt. M. M.Benbow was called to preside assisted by Dr. T. W. Briggs, Capt. Thomas J. M. Davis and J. B. Hilton Esq., as Vice Presidents. The regular Toasts were then announced. 1.

The lion. Jno. C. Calhoun, South Carolinas' brightest Jewel. Exalted high above the dark and feculent atmosphere in which such spirits as Hale, Benton, Geldings and their associates are accustomed to dwell, their visions have become so obscured that they cannot soar to the height of his talents in vindicating Southern rigats. Go on mighty warrior in battling for your country's honor, we know how to appreciate your services. 5. The lHon. A. P. Butler, A bold, fear less and indepenent advocate of Southern In stitutions.
