Hammond, Col. Memminger, Chancellor D?r th<

A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, ant
in syggesting the name of C?L .Orr for the j
vacant post, pawes a high eulogium'upon the hn
various acts of his public life; and concludes
| with tho following complimentary notice of
the iudepondeuce of his character, hi* practical j,c<
sagacity and tho influence he exert* upon his hci
political associates: tr.i
Tlicro has been no question of importance in *''
either the State or tin-nation, on which Mr. ?.
Orr's opinions have not been on record, and !,r
that too, before it was possible to have ascer- "lc
tain^dthe popular current. Mr. Orr's whole . ^
eourte in jltiblie life, chows that he is one of ?"'
those who iimku majorities instead of bowing to "la
them, llis knowledge of human nature ia pro- .
verbial, as is also his gift in winning the reapeet
nnd esteem of those who differ front him
j>olitlcally. And the writer has good reasons **
for believing that to Mr. Orr's tact is due much "
credit for the preservation of thofc kindly fe^T-.

11 free, wuugmoj IIUU uuvinimu, nuisu nuumted
and induced the glorious harmony that '
characterised the proceedings of the Iwte Xa- "ca
tionnl Democratic Convention. The writer of B,,<
this also has the best reasons for believing that zen
but to Mr. Orr's illness, by which he was pre- . e
vente3 from attending that Convention, he c,?'
would without doubt, have been chosen by nnt
common contcet to preside over nnd dircct the ?rn
proceedings of that Convention?which fact is . r<
well known to all of the South Carolina Dele- lm
gntion in the Convention. And the writer fno.
knows that during a eonsiderabfc portion of 1,1 1
this illness of our distinguished llepresciitativ*, e"
the President n?.d ninny Senators .were his nor
daily visitors. The writer hus been informed ,nu
that in the said Convention many inquiries 8UC

done toward* other distinguished and patriotic ?
gentlemen who have been named for the va- P'e
cunt Senatorship, in saying, what we honestly OV
believed; that -no man in South Carolina
could vcield in the Senate tho influence that 1
Mr. Orr would. I'?*
In reviewing the many speeches and reports *,r"
made by Mr. Orr since he has been in public . ^
life, it is apparent tliat he make* no holiday ''J
displays. Whether viewed as a skirmisher in ?
? Guerilla debate, of actor ill an.j|uguinent on '
some grave Constitutional question, or as tlie .
Orator of an industrial association, or of Liter- r
ary Societies, he evinces ft wonderful knowledge f
of the practical. And in no position lias the e 1

The Mormons.
A Correspondent of the Washington State*,
res the folowing sketch of the present state of
airs in Utah, as well as a conclusive answer,
the plea of those who deprecate any intefvnce
on the part of the Government. Brigin*Young
i* guilty of treason, and Utah is
a state of rebellion, and it is clearly the
t}- of the Gonernl Government to pfihisli the
e and repress the other. The obstacle at ,
esent, seems to lie to find a competent man
1 the Governorship. The post is regarded 1
<tnc of peculiar difficulty; and at best but a 1
tnkless office. The difficulties of the position,
wever, will be lessened by the dissuntions,
lich prevail Among the Mormons thenselves. 1
* American Mormons it is said, as soon as
V Arc assured of the protection of the Govunent
vrill co operate with the lerritorinl I
Lhoritics to suppreAs tho Mormon Abuses: 1
[leccnt nocounts from Utnh confirm all I (
re published concerning the Mormons. The ,
leral officers have been driven out from the |
rritory ; tin* public Archives[have been buru- j
by the mob; the United States Court lias ;
;n invaded, and the judge insulted on the a
ich: the Federal Consticution has been
mplcd in tlie dust, it* authority denied, and ,
> riijlit to the soil claimed: the commissions
Government officials have been tauntingly ^
own buck into the fuce of the President of (
s Uuitod States. i
Vdded-to nil these indignities, we have been (
liged, in the lost four yeors, to record the
ysncre of l.ieut. Gunnison nnd his party, t
]ge Leonidn* Sharer, the tnnil party in tne (
iter of 1851-55, (from which Chnrlea Kind
biirely escaped with his life,) and 2ol. A. y
Bnbhitt and his party.
[\> day the Federal Government is without (
r and* without recognition in the Territory
Utah. Brighnm is king of his people or
intry. j
n ttie face of all these facts, asserted by the
t men ever commissioned to Hint' Territory, j
1 corroborated by thousands of private citis,
there are those who sympathise with j
se Myrmon outlaws, and who have the auda- ,
us mcoiriK'o to ueteud litem in tins city,?the j
ion'# Capital. Tliis is the place: "The gov- *
ment has no constitutional power to inter- j
b with polygamy in Utah, or suppress the j
sgularitiv* of the religious fajth-of the Mor- f
ns." This is a studied evasion of the point f
Milt, M tho Government has never attempt- t
to interfere with the ahove-named point*; f
can it, as they more properly belong to the (
nicipal regulations of the State, and, as (
h, become legitimate subject* of judicial ^
ion, and are, therefore, beyond executive or
istitutional control. Hut is not Brigham j
ung guilty of treifon agiinst the govern j
nt of the United States! Is not Utah in a (
te of rebellion I These arc the legitimate |
u.> ? >^<iv, > an ijurBiiuiis uiai noma

Increase in the Cost of Food.
"he Nashville Utiion contains *
e upon this subject in which it is shown, 1
t in spite of the newness and'natural fertil- J,
of the soil of this country, the price of (
nan-' food,* particularly of aniiAal products, f
been grn*,ajlly Increasing for a number of -a
rs. This increase has been regular and "
ot to lie attributed to the ordinary iluctaa- ]
i?'of trade, to the short crop*, the inereas- f
foreign demands, to any diversion in the
tie trade, to the short supply of the present
r, or to an increase of the circulating me- ^
m. At no former period, has the average
:e of beeves, sheep and swine, ranged so ^
li throughout the country. The cause of ^
i steady advance of price is to b? found in ^
relations of demand and supply; in the
rente of the demand over the means of rap- ?
t?n only be accounted for the fact that.|
re has beeirti regular diminution in the sup- n
, until the natural law., lias increased the ?

o, why so f
ITe do not mean to be understood that there 11

Col. Jefferson Davis in Mississippi.
Col> Jefferson Davis, the late Secretary of
War has met with n most cordial and cnthiisi
astic reception from the people of Mississippi
on his return home. At Vicksburg, on the
18th tilt., he was greeted by a great gathering
of the people, at a free barbacuo, given in
honor of his distinguished service* ; and another
grand barbeeuc was to be given to him
at Jackson, on the 27th ult. The following i
extract from his speech at VicBsbnrg, presents I
an interesting statement 01 me policy ol lliv
Administration with refereuco to Cuba and
Nicaragua:
Col. Davit in Iii* opening remarks expressed,
with evident emotion, hit acknowledgments for
the high honor conferred upon him. From the
depth* of his heart he thanked his friends,
neighbors and fellow-citizens for such a manifestation
of their respect, approval and confidence.
lie did not regard it ns a mere personal
tribute; lie knew that other and higher considerations
had iuduced the multitude then
present to coino forward and tender him so
cordiul a welcome on his return home, lie assured
them that after four years absence, spent
in the service of his country, he comes back to
Mississippi unchanged in all respects, unless it
was that he had brought with him a deeper
devotion to his beloved State. While occupying
his Into official position, he hnd endeavor- '
ed to discharge faithfully his duty to the
whole Union; hut as n man, he had always
felt that his first allegiance was to the State
of Mississippi. By the lonely camp-fire* of
the North West, nud on the plains and nmid ,
the mountains of Mexico, while watching the ,
(tars which shone above him, his first thought ,
iiad ever that they were shining, too, on tlic land ,
from which his affections had never travelled. ,
He had returned to the State with the oh] ,
leutimcut of hia youth ami Ins manhood still ,
Mercising it* Accustomed power over liia mind '
tini hia heart ,
He had gone into the Cabinet with the hope <
.hat he would he ahle to do something in ac- (
juiring the Island o' Cuha?an acquisition |
which he regarded as important to the whole ?
country, but iudispctisnbla to the South. In ,
ujtice to the Administration of Gen. Pierce,
ic could say that it had dono all in its power t
;o accomplish no desirable an object. It had 1
icnt to Madrid, as the representative of the i
United States, the man whom, above all others, I
10 regarded as best qualified to bring to a sue- ]
ressful issue its policy in regard to Cuba. He <
eferred to Pierre Soule, of Louisiana. The i
iresent Chief Magistral, as Minister to Lon- <
Ion, had powerfully seconded the views of the
tiamuiiiiirnuon in inc miiucr. II llio m-gotia- |
.ion had failed of the do sired success, tlic r?- <
ponsibility rested, not with tlio Adniinistrn- i
ion, but with the legislative department,
frliich hail deplorably neglected to net with the
irmness and decision called for by llio occasion. <
Die non-action of Congress on the President's <
Message in reference to the Black "Warrior nf- I
air, had led the Spanish Cortex to believe thnt,
tl to its Cuban policy, the Administration did |
lot enjoy the confidence of the country ; nnd I
his conviction on their part was necessarily i
atai to our negotiations. Had Congress re- <
ponded to the Pres d^nt'a Message ns it ought 1
o have responned. he felt sure that the result <
ffould have been fur different.
He spoke at some length ns to the course of <
ho Administration in reference to CVntral <
America- In conducting it* negotiutinns with 1
espect to that country*, its action hud been i
tampered and embarrassed l>v the ClnytonJulwer
Trenty?a trenty which he regarded
is a surrender of tho Monroe doctrine. whose
tal consequeuccs lie had foreseen, ntid against
vhicl) ha had voted, in a minority of ten,
shen a memlier of tho Senate in 1850. Il?
ipprovcd fully of tho great principle cnuncia<d
by President Monroe, and was prepared
o stand by it faithfully ami carry out fully,
le had watched with interest the operation*
>f Walker in Nicaragua, and had earnestly
lesired that success should crown his arms.
Ie had not abandoned tho hope that victory
rould yet remain with Walker and his gallant
innd. - If errors committed by him hnd led to
everses, lie trusted that experience would
nahle him, or some one who might take hi*
dace, to avoid them for the future, nnd conduct
he enterprise to a happy conclusion.
He had faitti in American skill and courage,
nd believed that thee.nue of Walker, either
inder his lead, or that of some other ehicf who
nighfesacceed him. would eventuullv triunu.li

Gov. Walker and Kansas.
The course of Gov. Walker in rcfcrence to f
o Kansas, lias excited the indignant com- t
lenta of the Southern journals generally, f
irery one of. his acta since hi* appointment 1
committed him to a policy, antagonistic to j
hat of th? pro-slarery inen of the Territory, ?
nd which, ir ^ojited, must mako Kansas a "

tate document throughout It appeals to the ]
len of tliut party to participate in the election i
f Delegates to the Convention, which meets ?
1 September ; it assures them that a pro- *
lavery Constitution mnst be submitted to a
lajority of the actual residents of Kansas for
stification or rejection ; it assumes that Kan- J
u must be a free State; and as some compen- ^
ttion to the Slare States, indulges a hopo of i
stablishing slavery, in-the Territory South of *

But notwithstanding there is no provision of
the CMstitulion, no precedent, and no reason to
requiring it. (Jov. Walker asserts that the right oj
of the people of Kansas to puss unon the State
Constitution, to be adopted by the people of ?r
Kansas in convention, is ''a great constitution- if
al right," a "clear and unquestionable right," a b
"fundamental right," a "part of their inherent
and inalienable sovereignity," and declares if p
the people are not permitted to exercise it, it
that Congress will reject tho Constitution,
which the people ill convention shall adopt, ti
If Walker's policy is curried out, if the Cousti- ^
tution is submitted, and submitted to all the l<
inhabitants of tho Territory at the time of its t<
adoption, tho Constitution will be rejected, for
the Territory iu the meantime can be flooded ,
by emigrants from the North, and Kansas will ?
he admitted into the Union, if admitted at all, r
as a frco State, "
Perhaps this solut ion of the Kansas question !
would strenghtcu the Democratic party of the '
Northern States, as it would enable them to j'
point the people of tlms-j States to an extension
of the "area of freedom" under the practical 11
operation of the principles of tho Kimsns-Ne- 8
brn*kn bill, and thus confound the Bluck Kc- 0
public.ins, who have a ways contended that
that bill was uraetieallv n 1-~ 4 ?

of the Union to slavery. Perhaps ^
there arc men nt the South, conservative, cantious
inen, of that class wlio would sacrifice a
principle or an interest to shuffle off a grave ?j
issue, who would accept it as a final settle- t
mcnt of an irritating and annoying question. ^
liut no result could be more disastrous to the .{
interests of slavery and of the South?and it j
should he resisted nt all hazards ' and to the
last eternity. There are two wa3-a in which
it may he evoided. The delegates to the Conetitiitionnl
Convention may refuse to carry out
the policy dictated by Gov. Walker ; or utthc j
eluvenlli hour, an ii.undntion of "actual settier's
from Missouri may meet the inundation (j
of "actual settlers" from the free States, and j
resue the pro slavery Constitution at the bal- ^
lot box.
