HAViswo-rIn, St'rville, S. C. W. S, LAWTON & CO. Charleston, S. C. No other person is authorized to receipt for the Banner. f Persons wishing to see us upon business connected with the Paper or Law, can find us at any hour during the day, at our office, just back of SoLoatoNs' New Store. UT All letters addressed to the Banner must be pre-paid to insure atten tion. DatellIamg. On our outside, this week, will be found an article on "Duelling " writ. ten by the Senior Editor of this pa per. It was intended for our inside, but its length,and a pressure of other matter have unavoidably placed it where it is. It is written against this barbarous custom, and we hope all of our readers will read the article and prorfit by it.-Junior Editor Banner FELLOw CITIZENs:-I have disposed of my interest in the Sunier Banner to Mr. JOHN S. RICHARDSON Jr., who is, by iUr arrangement, entitled to all the pro. ceeds of the Paper from the 1st of Janua ry 18.55. In parting with my portion I desire to say that I have dune so solely from a sense of right. Having been dis abled by an accident which befell me, early in the past year, from taking any part in the management of the concern, and from assisting to advance the interests uothe paper, anda one which w:ill probably disable me from doing so for some time to come, I have thought it fair and right that I should take no part from the pro. ceeds of the office, but that they should belong to him whose labor and time has been expended in acquiring them. I have therefore sold to him my whole in terest in tiho Pper., and .in taking my leave of it, I desire to recommend the BANNER to all whoin I can at all influ ence to subscribe for and patronize it. I still feel a deep initerest in its, success and the success of my friend and former copartnqr. Wm. LEWIS. HAVING purchased Mr. LEwis' interest in the Banner, it is perhaps right and proper for us in noticing the fact, to give at least some assurance to the Public for its future condtuct and mnanagemient. During the year past, for which time we have been connected with the Banuner, it has been to us a labor of love, not unattended with cares and disappointments as wvell as with pleasures, to do what we could to make our paper a pleasant and instructive visitor to every family into whose circle'it might find its way. Many circu'mstances, however, conspired to pr& vent us from bestow ing upon it that care and attention wvhich is so necessary in or der to accomplish this object. The calls upon one's time, care and ~ttention b~y a sick family and the unavo tble absence from Ihom during the paeat summer, with many other like circumstances, in a groat mneasture disabled us from doing what we miigha have done, and desired to do for the amusement and instruction of our rend era. But we flatter ourselves that with the assistance of our able co-editor anud with renewed zeal and increased efihrts upon our part, we shall hereatter present io our readers and the Publie a sheet with better claims to a portion of their patron ago and favor. With this assurante, to. gether with- a promise (which the trouble and expense we have been at to repair our Press atnd refit up our office would wvar rent us in making) of a neat, and, as far as typographical appearance goes, a dis linci and readable paper, wve send out the Banner among its old and tried ctustomners, a candidate for increased favor and patron age. *We hope it may find a warm weel. sonsefrom all its former friends, and re ceive from them as many introduct ions to new supporters as possible. J.-8. RICHARDSON, Jn. MaONDAY LIsT.--Our friends in the country epet us to noticee the items of'sale day, which are, we are happy to write,, very few. The property -seold brought Its full value and negroes were in dtmand ; an unusual number *of persbns were in town ; mouch busi, ness transseted and the day ended in an-orderly, quiet and reputable man. ner. So may It always be0. A erson whbo undertakes to raise hhn Jb7 scandalzing others, might ~ i t down Qfn a whieel barrow and fl~e ~9the4 himself'. ~ ' kik tIllaof' the Sandwich Isin ,&d 5th of December His son sucenindmi hieti~ Eamnsa namd Slave-y. The 1n. P. S. Unooxis has for warded 'to us a pamphlet cobtaining a letter from General STRINoFELLOW, a citizen of Missouri, directed to Mr. 1lao%:s and other members of Con. gress. It is an. answer to enquiries made by them in relation to the pros. pcts for slavery in that territory. -lie gives some plausible reasons for the ophrioir that Kiinsas will cludc the g*asp of the abolitionists. One is the nature of the country. It is composed of piairies. Wood is to be feund only along the stremns, and therelbre small farms, from the incrensed amount of fencing they require, are impracticable. The labor of breaking up the soil is a great difficulty in the way of a poor man. Ile says that it requires two hands, and at least six yoke of oxen. These must be owned by the settler, because every man will need his own force. Ile asseris that. the people of Missouri are awake to the danger of' having an abolition State in their rear, and that, to secure the establishment of slavery in Kan sas, they will, if need be, make their homes there. Ile gives the late vote for a delegate to Congrese, which stood thus-for WnT1I!FIELn 2258; for WAKEFIELn 248i; and for FL.ENNEKEN 305. The question was slavery or no slavery ; and the pro slavery candi. date received more than four fifths of the whole vote. We have given but a meagre sketch of this letter. Thus fhr. in spite of tho deluded fanaties of tle North, Kansas seems to be safe. With slave ry as a territorial institution, and slaveholders the first citizens, and the moulders of public sentiment; seeluded by position from direct anti-slavery innuences and ofiering no indnieements to poor settlers, it may, if its soil be as rich and productive as it is repre sented, invite pro slavery immigrntion to atn extent suflicient to secure it to Southern interest. But if this he the result, it will be long in accomplish. ment. Millions of acres spread themselves out, invitingly, in the South and West, where the instit ution is established and tie rights of thle " lnw are secure, where the clitnnt is more genial, the soil as rich, the productions more remunerative and the expenses of living less. It is bt' reasonable to expect that thither will te'd the great :;-reamof ingration. Kansas cannot grow up to nmitrUity as a slaveholding State with the rapid. ity which has characterized the free States. Those opposed to slavery, in view of the difliculties presented there to free labor, may stay away ; but, :m thle othier hand, slaveholders, in view of more desirable localities, will pass by it. We are not mch im. nressed with the advanuarnge to SouthI. arn interests of Genreral SmmxNGFFa.. sow's derntier resort. Missouri has mt few slaves in comparison with the Southern Stat es, and if Kanrsas can lie nadeo a slave State only byv Missouri. mis going over in sufhieent numbhers to :ontroi it, the inistiturtion there may l1e left without de-fenrders, and Misson. ri, under Benitonian lead, go over to the A bolition North. TinE T:-son Anr.--Congress seems to be tired wvaiting on steam. Every tlhig but lighitninig is too slow for thris age ; and, leaving fur a while the Pa. eific Rail ]Road, the const ruction of which would reqirie years, and trains portation over which when built would require days, Congress is no(w for starting the.. Lightning Express first, there being timnie enough after that to make arrangements for that showv coach, steam. We hail the movement We cbafe at the delays in the Europe an mails.

The train was rmmnnintg it the speed of, perhaps, twenty miles per hour, and strange to say tie engine and bag'fage Car were not thrown oil the track. But the passenger car, being - lighter, was thrown of, and dragged some dis tance to a culvert, or cow ga.p, Iatd there, Ieing jerked mLose from the haggage car, fell several feet, to the bottom of the embankiment, turning over three- or four times nwl finally resting upside down. The car itself was Crushed to pieces ; and several of the passengers hurt, but we hope none dangerouisly. A lady seemed to be badly hurt about the licad, and one gentleman had his ankle rlioken.
