City Council of Columbia versus j I Nowapapar Privileges. j1 Ocu Columbia correspondent aliudos to 1 tho action of tho City Council of Columbia, 1 in roforcnce to tho editor of the Carolinian, c in fctror.g terms of disapprobation, .and it I deserves thorn. The history of this trans- < action, with the causes which led to it, wo t find detailed in the Carolinian of Tuesday, 1 <he substauce of which if- as follows: f The City Couucil, which, as our correspondent a^ys, is claimed to bo Know Noth . ing, upon going into power, clioso and appointed the Carolina Times as its official orgrtu, with something of a salary. This, j of course, it h3^ a right to do. The then , editors of tho Carolinian, who had before i occupied the position of City printers, ap- j plied to the Ci:v Council for the piivik-get of publishing, gratuitously, coi.iemporane- j1 ously with the official organ, a report of its proceedings. This reasonable request tin- j1 Council refused to accede to, and subsequent- j1 ly passed a resolution prohibiting the Car- j olinian from the privilege of attending its j meetings an a reporter. act such a regulation, and accordingly,Cufi last Mouday, presented himself in t!ic City j Hall, the Council in Kession. T1k- Mavor j asked him if he had not hoard of the afore- j taid refolution ; to which Dr. Gibbe* re- j plied affirmatively. Tho Mayor then a^ked \ him if he was present as a reporter; to! which Dr. Gibbes responded that he was j there as a corporator. The question, was J repeated; and Dr. Gibbes answered that ho \ claimed the right as a corporator and a cit-1 izen-to attend without lot, hindrance or i question, and denied the right of the Mayor j to propose such a query. The Mayor there- j upon ordered the Marshal to put the Doctor j out of the room. Upon this extraordinary and unprecedent- j , ed proceeding of tho City Council we have j but few comments to offer; yet, as wo con- j sidcr it not only ns an act of ungenerous- j' ncs6 to tho Carolinian, and tho readers of}' that journal, but also as involving the logit- j' imate rights of the press, we cannot refrain ; fronj an expression of opinion in reference | to it. It seems to u-? that. any other than {| an intolerant, inquisitorial Know Nothing j i Council would have been glad to have its j i proceedings published as promptly and as j widely as possible, when it was proposed to ^ be dono"without money and without price," and at no inconvenience whatever to any , member of that body, even though the right to exclude reporters were unques- r tioned. We are no lawyer, nor are we \ apprized as to the exact extent of the cor- s porate powers vested in the City Council of Columbia: but one thiiur wn Irnnu- tlmt [> "^either the Congress of the United State*, or ^ the Legislature of South Carolina, have tho right lo abridge the legitimate liberties i. of the pressor the peoplo; and we cannot imagine a City Council to possess a higher * authority than those bodies. If a citizen chooses to attend any public meeting, and whilst thero demeans himself quietly and ^ "Orderly, no one has a right to question him r as to his motives and objects; and if he ^ - further chooses to report, truthfully, either c orally or otherwise, the proceedings, his a right to do so is equally clear. Any at- e vtempt to deprive him of it is presumptuous, a and must be futile. .

We are requested to say that, for the ".resent, the contemplated Barbecue at Mathis' Spring has beeu deferred. Due lotice will be given when the day is fixed. Last Saturday was Return Day for this j District. The number of cases returned, j ve believe, is some three hundred. C. EI.

Wo take pleasure 11 asking our friends to remember him. * m [for the independent 1'reflh-] Agricultural Meeting at Ookeabury. Messrs. Editors: The citizens of Cokes>ury and ita vicinity assembled to-day, in esponse to an appointment made by the Committee in behalf of the late State Agri- . ultural Convention, to contribute material id to the great and important project of ( stablishing a State Agricultural Society, 1 nd Auxiliary District Associations. Messrs. Barrat, Bvrd and Marshall j .eroun me grouna, with many implements f husbandry, and prepared with appliances o test practically the merits of each. Ju'st ere a passing eomplimentjto the .zeal and adefatigable energy of these gentlemen is rell merited. It manifests a high airmand s noble purpose, freo from the selfishness i rcp'rfr&jji by individual enterprise. Such a ? ympatiiy for the pride of AbDeviile is not ] imply laudable and creditable, but illus- 1 rates a feeling sublimed by a 6pirit which f iiakes them South Carolinians. < After satisfactory experiments^ as to the ) otaparative merits *of many novel inveu- < iofls, in the way of plows, the citizens ac- t epted an invitation to convene in the chap- 1 the Male Institute 'tjpon motion, J A. Connor >?s called to the Qiair* * nd S, M. G. Gaby requested to act. as Sea- * etary. The Cbairmw^ ja- i >rcible address, explained the object Of the i ipetioy, and with brief |ttt ch*?t*w?xj*rlcs> ? introduced tho Hon. J. Foster Marshall to the audience. Col. Marshall thereupon, by an off-hand, stirring address, embodying vigor of thought, grace of language j nnd zeal of purpose, heightened by emphasis of action and fervor of soul, portrayed j Llie importance of a State Organization to advance Agricultural science. He advoea-! . . 1 ted a system of education that would belli! the planter for his honorable profession? ! that would in turn refine its sociality hv community of thought, thus enlarging and j diffusing intelligence among the masses,; and calling into service all the appliances j ot* art and science, to subserve the great i cause of Agriculture. But an analysis of; his speech does not befit this summary report. Dr. Baurat was next called for, and the! old Doctor, profound in science, vigorous in tliought, and bold in action, responded with an enthusiasm Gtrong and gushing. With apposite reasoning he urged tl\e necessity of leaving the old and beaten ttec.k and to devote an Interest to a system of culture improved by science and art, II? spoke with a nervous simplicity and with a strength of action that betokened his earnestness in the great cause. He invoked an interest in behalf of a system of culture that would cultivate kinder feelings for the generous soil; that would turn aside the parricidal blow that aimed her destruction, and restore the life-blood to her exhausted and maltreated resources. With plowing enu?? J li- l" wiNiiiiuui iiis uopes ol Her salvation to the youth of the country, and as the soil was an embodiment of patriotism, the pride with which wo called ourselves Carolinians should stay the hand that enervates and destroys her fertility?lays waste the beauty of her forests to be made sterile by barbaric havoc, that leaves t!.n patriot a pitying idolater of departed gloi v. j After a few explanatory remarks from Col. j Marshall the following gentlemen subscribed as life members : Messrs. F. A. Connor, F. F. Gary, J. K. Vanck, J. W. Suber, B. Z. Herndon, N. Sims, W. W. IIiogins, A. H. McGcIIee, W. C. klygh, .1. (j. Fauliit, w r KnRwooD, T. J. Roberts, Obas. Smith. J.W.Moore, C. \V.

We trust this effort on the part of Cokesbury will awaken a deeper interest in other sections of the District, which are not more willing, yet more able to give their bounty to the tjood cause. ??

Dear Puckett:?Matters are getting to be lomewhat interesting in this City?--and it ! s likely will eventually becptne more so. 1; see in the Carolinian of this morning that Dr. gi*bk8?its editor-^ was on yesterday brcihly ejected from the Council chamber, 'or daring to present himself before the Hity Council while in session, for the pur>ose of reporting its proceedings for the solumns of his,paper?a privilege, it seems, hat ia allowed by 411 Councils of wbie$ we lave any Knowledge.

But the 4 question is, will the people submit to such proscription ? I think, myself, that there is u re-action taking place, and that rapidly too. The Order is now grappling with the great monster death?its last hold is taken from it ?its platform has been so changed and ' 1' modified, that there is but little of the origi- j iihI material in it, ami I here is not hing j left for it t<i stand on.

Li think perhaps feeble patronage may have something to do in the matter. There nrc / one or two other one-horse Know Nothing ! sheets in this Statu that maybe expected to follow suit. Like every thing else in its dying moments, it resorts to desperate efforts to hold on to life. I see that the M/Titries office has issued a "confidential" circular to the members of r the Legislature, proposing if they will ^ help raise the wind, to engage stenographers t< to attend the next sitting of the Leg i si a- J' ture and write out full reports of all its proceedings.
