for admitting the key, and through
which there is no possible access to the
tumblers by any instrument whatever
-not even by the key itself, strange
as that mtay seem. lBy a sinigulaxr coin

pti le and gratifiea
thefore, regard- it as

these larnonious sentiments;

you represent.
I dein 'oper.pethlireslold
of.oflike, rStite in brief and gener
a1 teris, the views which will here
ifter govern my official conduct.
Our constitution coidides but a
limited portion of the activo power of
governnient to its chief executive o
iceur. Besides the general superinten
dence demided of him. the supervis.
ion of t he institutions ofeducation, anr
the connand and inspection of mili
tia, his nost responsible duty is the
discreet exercise of his interposition, in
telpjar-ing any uidue.rigor, in the en
forcemzient of the penal lIaw.
It is scarcely nc-cessary to advert to
the ilipot tace of a proper at tentIion to
those institutions which the State has
established ior the imnprovenient of
education. I shll regard it as oiIe of
r1ost pleasing functions, to do my
part ill the discharge of this, our com
mon duty. And if I can contribute,
in any degree, is raise the standard, Or
extend the benefits of these wise es
tablishmlents, I shall regard mnyself as
richly rewarded for the most anxi.
ous eilits.
A proper attettion to the organizil
tion (of tie Alilitia is also an inidispen
sable pait of liy public ditty; and if
we cannot expect to render our citi
zen-soldiery equal to those trained ill
the severe school of* nilitary life, we
may yet do most ituportait service inl
keeping up such a sytel, as will it
oice iretniind our countrymen t hat they
inay one -day have to take their pliace inl
the field, and will keep us acquainted
with the resottice-s of* the State.
The Constittition re'jin-cs of ne to

maercy; and to this end clothes tie with
the power of pain111 Itid reprieve. Ill

Time State Legisliatere..
The common coiplaint of too much i
legislation, is certaiuly not applicable
to this State, and our legislators de'
serve all praise fur the' despihtel'ith
which the..ave inr sisio f, twen
ty-two days, transacted. brsiness, which
to-uninitiated eyes seemed to hluvq e
nknded the attention of m9nths. Our
own delegates have well done their
part. To Col. Asimonn, as Chairman
of the Conrimittee on Claims, we see
a well merited complimen t in the
Charleston Staudard," lie is elmhati
oally the working man of the Douse.
Our old friend too Capt. GaENi has
not been idle, but has shown himself a
skillful debater,-his speeches on tihe
Electoral question, and in support of
Col. AsuMOitaE's motion, to increase the
appropriation for the Free School fund
from $37,200 to *74,400, (which was
passed,) commanded strict attention.
A monig the bills carried throngh vas
one amndli(ling the charter of the Wil
nmiigton and Mainelester Rail Road
Cmnpany so as to allow it to connect
with the Columbia branch (if the South
Carolina Road, which the delapidated
condition of the Camnden branch, as
evinced by the late. accidents on that
Road has rendered extremely derir
ous. Also a bill re-chartering the
Bunk of tihe State, and granting char
ters to eight new Banks, amoing which
is the Bank of Sumter with a capital of
$300,000; we believe there is searcely
two opinions in our comnmn'df itr re.
gard to the necessity of having such
an institution in our intMst, there is
capital ettidA ih Yur District to es
tatblisi many sneh Banks. and we hope
it will not now be withheld.
The iinportant measure of re-district

BanAKINo UP' OF AN leEino IN 'InE
A ac-rw SEA.--When an immense ice
berg begins to tumible to pieces, and
chamige its position ini the water, the

West minister A bhey, are submerged
in thme still blue water to appear again
att thme surface, rolling and heaving
migantically iim the swelling waves.
'olumes of spray rise like clouds
of white vapior into the air all round,

not secondl to terrific peals of' thunder,
or the dischairge of whole parks of'
aitillery. The sea, smooth and
tranqumil, is aroused, and oscillations
travel ten or twelve miles in every
direction; and if' ice should cover its
surface in one entire sheet, it comes
uip into detached pieces in the same
manner as if the swell of an extensive
sea or ocean had reached it. And be
fore a quiescent state is assum~ed, pro
bably two or three icebergs occupy its
place, the tops of some of' which may
be at an elevation of upwards of two
hundred feet., having, in tihe course of
the revolution, turned up the blue
