It comimen cod raining on Sunday night, with considera ble force, and it lasted until moruing. Mon. day was a very dis-greeable day rainy and misty. Vivid lightning and heavy thunde r camte upon the town very suddenly at night fall and it continued to rain by spell through tib night, and Tuesday was a dull day. OT Monday last beingsale aniseuling day, ourlown was crowded with .the citizens of the distilcI, notwithstanding the incleneitcy of the weather. The large sale of valuable negroea attracted nany strangers and we no ticed at the "Exchange" during sale hours several of the wealthy citizens of tCharleston. Negroes sold very high, those helcnging to ths McFaddin sale, numbering ninety, aver. aged 8400 all round-some field hands bring. ing $300 and 100), boys of 14i to 10-750 a 801, and likely wenches 65A) a 7d5. The Plantation brought $S per acre. The tea ms of the sale influenced the market, nnd doubt less they wou!d not have commanded such high prices had it been for cash. COTTON M ARK FT.-Was heavier this week, rates 9 14 to 10-.

The conse. Nence Uf this often i6, tlat win ripe yfam !iaimireater latitude aid inlbdpendoneo ofo reflection,-tho mind itself neverhaving- been 4abituated to judge for itself rushes into ex. Lrvaganco of sentimnt3. Tioenotions-it'hid previously hold are early cast oil, because hey have been imposed rather than adopted, rid because, neither conviction, nor regard to consistency, is interested in their retention. It is in speculative affairs as inthose relating to politics;-long submission to tyrapny.is followed by licentious outbreaks, not only f.om the eil'rvescence occasioned by a feel ing of triumph, but from want of skill in the exercise of the newly acquired, power,-as is strikingly exemplified in botii these respects in the present French government. When the blow at tyranny was struck, a counter one was aimed at i-elhgion and behold the re. sult;-aitheistm and communism rule the land. In our own republic, where reason and pru dence guided tie heln, the result was not at first. so deplorable. But look at the picture which it now presents, and review the past coiijaimtly. Morinonism and Socialism at the West, and second AdventiEmi and Fourierism at tie East, stand as tihe land-marks of Free thought. A history of religion impos tures would from a library of itself. The human mind, like a straw in the wind, seems wonderfully susceptible delusion and impo sition of a subject of all others, the most im. portant both for time and eternity. We are led to theee remarks by reading of the death of FATER MILLEn, sostyled, whose crusade was the destruction of world-but the world still stands and he has been noinbered with the dead. From the -time of Paine, to the advent of Mormonism, not even excepting Mathias impostures, had credulity out-blush ed itself than through the instrumantality of this man. Ile, under his new creed in pre dicting the end of tle world, and even naming the day, brought more misery and distress whcrever his doctrines prevailed, than any of the numerous fanatics who have at difflrent periods agitated the world. Under the im pression, that the day named would be the end of the world, and that the faithful would. ascend to heaven, many distributed their wealth among their friends and relatives, the biggest knaves getting the largest portion, for which the zealots, happy in anticipating the approach of that day which was to waft theim to everlasting bliss, prepared their as. cention robes, and men and women wore them, waiting patiCtly for the ,last trumpet to sound, and the approach of the Angel Ga briel. The day arrived and the sun rose and set as beautiful as ever, thme earth gave no signs of treunbling, and the heavens nmo signals of dissolution. The credulous fools laid aside their robes and Miller postponed the advent to a distant day, hut he came to his endgand not the world. The result of this fanaticism was painful and distressing. Awakoning from thme dream of folly, many ot his disciples found dtemselvcs reduced to beggary and want ilhose who accepted the transfer of their pro perly, felt no disposition to restore it w-hen ithe prophesy of Miiller had become falsified, anid many still remain anxiously looking to the skies for invitation ton ascend in which hey sti repose conlidence. WVomnan, credu - louis woman aidedl this man, for two-thirds of h s disciples were femaies, of all imnds, that of the lenmale is most excitoaldle on religious topics, and it is well thait it is so, for they are the pillars of the church; but man, what a grevionis sii thou hast to answer for pervert in~z it from its true course. Credulity al ways was their share from Mother Eve downwards. This extraordinary man died in the State of New York on thme 20th inst., in the fth year of his age. lHe was a native of liutstieldl 3assachusetts, and was a cal-tain in the amrmyv of the United States in the late war with En ~glandi, anid behmavedn with bravery at the battle of l~lattsburghm. Hippy indeed, wetre the inelusion to die wih him, but no, theire arc others to rise up in his place and coiitiine ithe farce a little longer. Brother )Imens, or the "Mlessiah Snow," or George Alnmodayi, the hatlen's pirophet, mny receive thme oa mtel of31iller, and wvage war against be be;. And yet while we look w~th regret thme deiusmons of thme past, the present mani fests a contemuplative picture-- Moromon ika, whimchm openly endorses depravity and inininorah ty, has loented itself in the west and is daily receiving large accessons, from Eu rope. Socialisni, divided on, the God-head, has Ibanishled an infidel siectiona to our shmc's. Iearianmism, Fourieism an I the other belie of the F'rench atheists are daily growing more hideinusly diste-'. by now accessiomns of cnredu 'ouis and knavish piersons. TVhe c rusadle imust be preachedl, the wvar of words common. e'd, thme press aind the pl pit mnut. arm for thme dteence of religion and their country. F~or with all the seemminigly absorption on religious subhjects, political wire wo&rkers have seized these fanmatics and are now using them as tools. Tihe great wool cry of Aboiit~on arose with them and mnow, at this remiote day are thiey enideavorinig to force ia lirebaind in thme union, the result of ivih may be the~ des mrue ion of the glorious edifice. It is to these fanatical beliefs that opinion must be attrac ted to, it is with dangerous creeds the war must be waged and peace canmnot he restored until they are purged from the land.

The city still wears somewhat of a holyday aspect, and the reaction which generally fol. lows the qdiet o thd festive week, has barely commenced. Our merchants anticipate an unusually large spring trade, since the cause which operate4 so fatally to check their fall business a kind Providence has: happily re moved. !tat temporary suspension will it is hped give an increased impetus .to the Spring demand, which with the high price of Cotton, and the extension of Rail Road com. mauuication into sections whose trade has hith erto been diverted, will make the ensuing year one of the most prosperous our merean tile community has ever. experienced. The Rev. Thoobald Mathew arrived here yester. day, was recfeived by the Prosideut of the I4ibernian Society and tendered the use of their Hall during his stay among us.

TuE ISLAND OF JAuAcA.-The spirit of an exation manifested by the Canadian subjects >f Great Britain seems to have been caught .p by the people ol Jamiica. Fairly ruined y the policy of tho Mother country in abolish ng slavery, the islanders are awakening 'rom their lethagy and are now striving to seek rodress byanuexation of this Union. 1he Kintgton Coserratre, speaking of this subject says: "No man in this island yet hinks ofraiding foreign arms to dispossess Great'Britain of Jamaica. We h-ve not yet irrived even at that state of feeling which would induce any inhabitant to lift a finger against the ancient Crown of England. But we must live: we must assert the rights of iur cdmnmon country. I -mpressed with these Views. there are many who pray the Great Ruler of all nations so to dispose of events, tiat nit aticable secession of this Island to lte United States of America, without quar relling or bloodshed, nay speedily occur. Por ourselves,'we repent, thatt we should re. vret to see Jamaica. leave the ancient fold; but we would not wonder if it occurred to norrow. So that it he done without rebelion alas I too many woult be only glad of iL" Yankee enterprise has emigrated to Kings ion; an'United States Hotel' has been open ad, and Atnericain firms have commenced bus iness. The question of growing cotton on the Island is seriously agitated, ard it is said that American gentlemen of wealth are about to embark largely in its production. An American company, with a capital of 81,000,000 has taken the copper mines at Mount Vernon, and will work them vigorous. ly. REDUCTION OF POSTAGE -The Hon. DoNE BnowN has given notice that ie will intro duce, at an early day, a bill to reduce the rates of postage and for other purposes. le proposes to reduce the postage as low as five a-ni, a uniform rate, and curtail or abolish the franking privilege, and perhaps seine im. poftant changes in the routine and mainer of discharging the duties of the Post Office De, artment. It is- supposed that newspapers may be allowed to lie sent (a Frescribed die LAnce, say 30 miles, ) free of postage to sub. aribers. These mediures will deservedly be extremely popular. Newspapers, however, .hould be freei within the State, in which they are published. TAYr.ORs Byt.L.s.-Theo Philadelphia Spirit af tIje Times, in relation to the first bull in tho Presidenst's Mlessage, says: "This has been correnteo by the ofiimil or ga at Wasington, arnd :thte whole of the blun~ ier cast upon the proof reader, butt weA cannot conceive how-it. is posaible for them to ex plains the one in the 'paragraph that follows the above. It inlinsitcly excels in atrocity No. 1, and should be entitled to the prize. T ae fourth paragrraph of the message commite no is with the following hiuminous sentence: 'Whule enjoying the betnefits of an amica ble itntercourse with for eign nat ions, we have not been insenisible to inbe idistractions and wars w hich have prevailed in other parts of the world.' 'WVhat constitute the 'oilher qu~arters of the World'"we cannot imagine, and will wait in 'elegant anxiety' for an elucidationi. 'Esnjoy intg thes benefits of amticable intercontree with. foreign nat tonts and other rparte-rs ef the worl.d,' is just as redliculous and quite as preposter onts as being at peace with all the n-orld anid thu rest of mankind." MArr. FAcrt~mrss.--Hon. Mr. Woodward, on the 30th inat, in Congress offered the lol lowing re.solution, whic~h was agreed to: Resolred, Thait it be referred to the Comn miittee on Post offices and Post Roads, to in quire into the expediency of establishing the tollowing mail routes in the State of South Carolina, to wit: Frotn Camden, in Kershaw district, by the wyof Ridg ewood, to Winnsboro', in the dis trtot te village of Newberry, in New berry district. From Rocky Mount, in tho district of Lan caster. From Darlington Court House to Camden, in.Kershaw district. THE ANTr NUISANCE.-It is not perhaps, generally known, that in thmo West Indies, when these little tormentors pay their un welcome visits to the houses there, a small ring of chalk will be an effectual bar to their entrance; oven making a strong chaik lino on the floor will stop their progress. The rea son no doubt, being that the very great quan tity of acid chalk, contains cauuos their death, or a precipitate retreat. Consud to Lyons -Our readers will recol lect the keeper of an oyster house who was appointed Consul to Lyons by General Tay lar.
