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.

in our judgment, transcended its 0

The Lancaster Ledger savs a negro boy.!

eupicd four days. |
The Carolina Times nays that about
one hundred yards of the South Caroliiin
Railroad track, somo thirty miles above

The circular of the Oglethorpe Medical

We are requested to say that, for the

[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,

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. ??

Columbia S. C. Sept. 18, 1855.
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 thi# augu&t body,

w^^Kno*, frothing eva
choosing should bo permitted to publish its
proceedings unless second-band. 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. Its organs arc dying j
off?the Vailey Pioneer is g??ne?one of tin; J
proprietors of the Erating yews is anxious i
to dispose of his interest it) that paper. |
Ilis reason, he say*, is feeble health. 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.
Well, that will be fine! I trv.ess |11

j ber \ should rallier not have reported, l^ut ?
this is a progressive .vge, and there is no |
telling what- will happen next. <
The genuine "Campbell Minstrels" are }
now in our city, astonishing the green ones, j
j and pocketing all the. loose change certain ^
! persons have picked up since the circus !
' passed along. All right perhaps; "go it while j*

Tun details of Eastern news are for the <
most part uninteresting, and owing to their '
great length, we are forced to withhold them 11
from our readers. The following account :
of the battle of tho Tchernaya is the most i

Generals Simpson and Pelissier both 1
furnish reports of the Tehernaya affair.
I They sav the Kussian .attack was a delib !
erate effort. to raise the siege of Sehasto- j J
pol, and it' the Russians had not succeed-j1
t?d in holding the heights on the Allies j
side of the river, they intrude furtherd to i j
attack the Allies from four points, iiame-j<
ly: a main attack on Balaklava, another 1
on the British camp, and another simultaneously
on tho extreme light and left of J
the French lines.
General Simpson says the Russians ad- 6
vanccd three times with the most determined ; a

killed, 150 missing, and 1160 wounded. ''
j The Sardinian lo>s was 250. The loss of, n

ers in the hands of the French, and 200 in p
the hands of the Sardinians. The Turks
was not engaged. I ?'
The Russian report admits great losses:"
and three Generals killed. It attributes j fl]
the loss to the too great impetuosity of the J e'
right, columns of attack. The Russian troops >-"q
engaged had just arrived in the Crimea. I ^
General Gortschakoft* commanded in per- j ^

General Pelissier issued a grandiloquent m
