M.,44 'jm S. 711-Z From the South Carolinian. nteresting Correspondence. The following interesting correspondence, -hich has been placed in our hands for pub. : ication, we take great pleasure in laying be.. S fore our readers: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, July 14, 1849. MADAM: The Legislature, at its last see- a sien, directed the Governor "to procure and cause to be presented, on behalf of the State, some appropriate meniorial to the. widow of the late Lieut. Col. Dickinson, as evidence of , the deep regard and admiration of the State for the lamented and distinguished dead. t In the performance of the honorable yet I melancholy duty assigned me, I herewith t transmit, and ask your acceptance of, seven I p:eces of silver, constituting a tea and coffee 1 service. Receive them, madam, as a slight testimonial of the high estimation in which r South Carolina held one of the gallant defend. r ors of her fame; preserve them us a neinorial I of his patriotic zeal and heroic conduct on eve- t - ry occasion demanded by duty and danger. Lieut. Col. Dickinson lived a brave, skilful and humane officer, and received his nprtal wound at his post, where lie was always to he. H found. Although no token of the gratitude of the Commonwealth can dissipate the grief r engendered by your bereavement, still tho , hope is indulged that the one I now. fowarJ, I will. while it recalls the most endearing do. mestic associations, be considered and held I by you as the reward of honorable merit be. I stowed by a sovereign St.tte upon a citizen soldier, once your bosom friend, but now, I a trust, the companion of his God. a With sentiments of respectful regard, I have the honor to, be your obedient servant, n VhITEMARSII 13. SEABnooX. a DMrs. EMMA 8. DiCatNSON. HOIaKIRI, July 26,"1849. DEAR SIR: Through the politeness of Col. Gladden, I have received the service of silver presented in behalf of the State, and with it your letter. I thank you very much for the kindness and g delicacy with which you have fulfilled "the i duty assigned you;" and to you I must express [ the gratitude I feel for this tribute from the State. You ask inc to receive it n3 a testimonial t) of the high estimation in which Carolina held one of the gallant defenders of her tame; I to preserve it as a memorial of his patriotic v zeal and heroic conduct on every occasion t most gratefully, and will preserve it proudly t and sacredly. Carolina, ever warmly loved, is now trebly r dear to inc. Dear us my native State-.-dear v or as my husband's native State--dearest as I his last resting place. Grateful to me, then, is this "token of her gratitude"-this proof I that. his serv:c-s are remin' red. -If I cannot forget that for her I have suffer ed, neith-er can I forget that the kind sympa thy, so freely accorded me, has removed sone of the bitterness of my sorrow. Earnestly r do I hope that this sympathy, so comforting, may not be withdrawn from me. As a woman, I am denied an active partic ipation in all that tends to the glory of Caroli na; but, as a woman, I may and do exult in her proud reputation. For her - prosperity I .wish warmly and truly, and I ardently hope that her faime, so dearly bought, may be pre. served as bright and untarnished as her own beautiful offering to inc. With much respect and esteem, I remain yours, gratefully, Governor EMMA S. DIeKINson. GoenrSEABRooK. From the T.*nperane Advocate.

The unjust a uncalled' for 'laasbeert wn ade Mesurs ittag and rsat ford,in m rvenltlicles t jlth ave Jatelyap peared itithe pubie prints, on thy chaacter! of the Rev. Diowe and John' ilggratoi Wilson, has been proni pty repolleirtifei authors very properly rebuked by a just ;butt watchful press. The reputation of these'two linisters,'for warm and. undeviating attach ment to Southern rights and Southerti1 rest stands above suspicion. And'an enlightened public will not consent, that these two true hearted Southerners should be .mode the vie tims of 51r.Mittags, unfortunate deposition which leads him, in his zeal to overthrow an argument to use every means to overwhelm his adversary also in its ruins. Perhaps en. ough has already been said on this subject, but we must be permitted. to say cue word as to the character of Mr. Wilson. Though at present absent as a Missionary' Mr. Wilson is a natiye of South Carolina, and a native of Sumter District; he is connec ted with .one of the largest and most respecta ble families in our District and we may say in the State, who would rise as one'man to defend the institutions and rights of the South -and lie has been 'educated in ourmidat and enjoys a reputation as yet untarnished, saved by this ungenerous insinuation of Mr. Mittagi To the question of the unity or diversity of Races, as a subject for Physiological or Theo logical discussion, we have no objection; but we do object to it as theme for the indulgence of invective, and on which to awaken ground less suspicions against our worthiest citizens; aud we solemnly pratest against its being dragged upon the arena of an angry political discussion and being made the instrument of of exciting differences of opinion, upona sub. ject, on whirh the. heart of the Southern pee ple should beat with but one pulsation. The personalities of Mr. Mittag are entire. ly irrelevant to the issue between himself and Dr. Howe, and that issue itself an immateri al one upon the great question of the moral justi'ce of the institujtion of slavery. That in. stitution is justified by the great lawy of self preservation-it is justified by the O!d Testa ment-it is justified by the New Testament and justified by every principle of the moral law. Its foundation cannot be shaken. Mr. Mittaghas attainments of no ordinary stamp, and wd have always read his produc tions with interest. lie throws light on ev ery subject which he touches.
