"Sanco" will please let us hear from him again:, but he must send along his name. Mon. W. W. Boyce. We will lay before our readers next week the able speech of our represen tative on the Gadsden treaty. By many this speech is thought to be the a4tblest of Mr. Bovcn efforts and lika all his speeches evinces a clear and solid judgement, based upon a thorough ac quaintance with the subject. The po sition Mr. Bovcs has attained in Con gress is a most enviable one and con fers honor upon his district and State. Escaped. The accomplished scoundrel whose arrest and lodgment in the jail of' this place we announced a week or two ago, broke jail and "'de off on Monday night last durirng a thunder shower which came up between midnight and day. This feat was accomplished by sawing one of the iron bars of his prison and bending it in its socket and Sthen letting himselfcowna by strips of blankets, which he had torn up for that purpose. Hiow he came by a sawv is a matter of wonderment and conjecture to all, but it is supposed that he mnst have had it concealed about his per-son when lodged and it escaped the searchb which wvas then made. It is probable he could have freed himself of his prison at any time after his confinement and was only waiting for a good opportunity, which ofrer-ed on Monday night. The Branich Bank. The subject of the removal of the Branch Bank of the State fromn Camn den to this place is exciting some at. tention and discussion here. There is no doubt, but that in Sumterville we stand greatly in need of money facili ties, for legitimate business transac tions anid the establishment of a branch of the Bank of the State in this placc must be considered a desideratum and will add a new impetus to trade. Cam-. den with a declining trade has two banks. one of these she could spare, or yield up to the stronger claims of Sum tervilleI, which iminpartial judgmnent muBt pronounce the better and more central location. A bank established here would lbe called on to supply the demands of D~arlington, Marioin, and1 WVilliamburgs, while Camden with the two banks to divide the business, is surrounded on all side by banking ih cilities. Our intention is niot however to discuss the expediency or prmopriety of the change, at present, butt only to call attention to thme suabject-. Columbia and hlamburg Rail Road. We are informed by our Columbia Correspondent thatt appearances arie &trongly in favor of' the town's subscrib ing $30,000 to that enterprise. It is blieved that a large majority of the citizens will wvillingly and cheerfully vote for an increase of taxes, rather than allow the road to " fall through." Most of the opposition comes from thme T1resident of the South Carolina Rlail Road and one or too large stockholders in tho salme. Dr. R. WV.

Sectiont alismi Sone of the press of' the State are finding fault with the IHon. Mr. Bitoods nember of Congress, fir his expres sions of ntioniality in a late speech. wherein he diselainiis all sectionalism. The fulluoing extract contains all, that is objected to. " I know, sir, that I shall be suspec ted of giving preference to this route the Texas route-because of sectional feeling. If so I ant unconscious of it and tlie fiet w hic I have presented will aciquit ine. The iilte has been when I was sectional, and it has passed. I catine here sectional ; but the noble trio of New Englaid-Messrs. M IJo. aid, HIibbard and Ingersol--has taught fie to tear the word 'rotiin my political v'ocabi lary, and insert in its place 11n-_ other which is tin 're devated and pat riotic-the woid constitutionar. The people of may State were told, oin Ia rinorial occasion, by v-ery high authority there, that if one of them should be asked if' he was an Arneri. can, the answer should be, "No sir ; I am a South CoroliniaI.'' This sunti.. mnent has had its day and its c lanies, of whon no one was more earnestly zealous than myself. lHut, sir, a recent act of this Congiress, which vindicates the great principles of non-intervent ion, piopular sovereignity, and the rights of the States, has ver illed the dictun of Mr. lefferson, that "error of opinion may be tolerated w hen reason is left free to combat it," and will henceforth cause my heart to swell wi I loyalty and pride to be called an American." This is, as it should be ; it has al wtys been the bonst of our rprsen tatives at\ Washington, that we abide by the constitution and upon it rely for protection to our . tights , how would it become us then to deny our citizenship in the Union '? Such de elarations niay suit, the lips of such demagogues ai.d fanatics as Se:wtnn and umNEi, but, they would ill be. come a representative of the the honor of South Carolina.
