Encouragement of Native Talent.
We find the following loc?l items in the last
Charleston eorrcnomk-nee of the KdgtfitM sli/
vcrtm r :
The Trustees of the Columbia Academy
hnve elected Mr. Ueijamin K. St'.iart, of this
city, Principal, in place of Mr. llichard Ford,
resigned. Mr. S. is n roil of the late John A.
Stuart, of the Charleston Mercury. Such evidences
ns theyo of appreciat ion of native talent.
are now. 1 am rejoiced to see, more frequent
than formerly. < ?f all professions, tlutt
of an instruc'ot of Southern youth most imperatively
call* for repi'cueiitatives "to the in.irior
born," nml claiming home institutions ns their
Alma Muter. The selection in this instance, is
alike creditable to '.lie judgement of the Trustees
and to the merits of the uifteil young graduale
of our State College, who is the recipient
of the honor.
I observe also that the Pparf nnburg Female
College hasadded to the list of teachers in the
Preparatory Department, a lady of this city,
Miss Hannah M. Anderson, who has been for

Jerereon Davis in New Yor e,

nieciiiig was held in New York, nt whieh Col.
.'elVorson l)avis spoke We make the following
extract:
Tile speaker adverted again to the slavery j
tpiostioi:, and spoke of the peaceful relations .
which f-ul'sUt hct.ween the master und the j
slave, 'file Abolitionists uoru desirous that !
7rt'fio villain simui.i am in. in in in.-ir crti<n<le 1
jigaiinM, slavery. Hut if Groat I'-iitain should j
*tteeeed in separating tli Noilh ami the South,
>!?o would only more successfully prosecute her i
rivalry with Northern Commerce and matinfaotnrcs.
Sonic Northern politicians of a philo- i
sophical kind hail promulg itcd the principle ol"
a higher law. They wore men who had stoop- ,
t-d their hands in the Mood of their brothers? '
who were constantly wuirin.tr again.-t their fel
low country men at the South. Their higher
law was a law in wliieh the criminal naturally
takes refuge. Win n the speaker heard one of j
these philosopher.-! preaching treason to the I
laws of the land, lie thought that such a man
wna a proper snhjoct lor lynch law?which
was a higherjlaw than the one t hat ho advoea'c 1. 1
If we me true to ourselves, and true to the
Constitution, our path is onward I o more of national
urealness than the people ever posses- !
*ed. Uur form of Government was such as the
wit. of man had never devised until the Const itution
were cordially and faithfully observed, i
no power could shake the Government, of the t
iiuvu .nu?.< 9. 11 hii i cvuiv mi; yt'lir t
there will conic now sources of pride and pros- !
perity, fresh stars will lio added to our banner, [
and onward over land and sen the power of the 1
United States will progress to n triumph such >
as the enrth never witnessed. In conclusion, {
the speaker returned his cordial thanks for the
kindness with which he had been received.
"Ilisspreeh was frequently applauded with (
great enthusiasm, and at the end the trifled ora- I
tor was greeted with u thundering tiibute of.
popular approval."
Another Atlantic Telegraph.
Wc have been placed in possession ofinfor- ,
mation stye, the New York Jfcrahl, confirming
our statement in regnrd to the intention of the
British government to lay a cable between Irelaud
and Newfoundland :
Arrangements will koon be made with the
view of establishing communication between !
those two points next year, in the event of'
their being unable to work through the present ,
line. In this matter the British government
are governed by their own inVr?st, as they i
have already experienced the advantage of be- |
ing placed ill direct connection with their colonial
possessions on this side of the ocean. He-j
fiuro tlii! flabld Rlnnn*?<l u*r?rbiii?r il^f wA??n -
bled to eend two despatches of tho greatest '
value ami importance lo tlie colonial authorities;
and having once practically realized the !
benefit to be derived from the line, it is their
policy and their interest, to re-establish the j
communication at the earliest possible moment. !
But the British government is not the only j
party interested in the permanent success of i
the enterprise, for the London Board of Uudcr- |
writers were also afforded an opportunity of
appreciating its importance in a commercial
point f view. The despatch that, con vcved to ;
thctn the intelligence of the collision between j
the Europa and Arabia could not be estimate! ,
by thousands of dollars merely, and was in it- j
self an incontrovertible proof of the iud ispensa- j
bility of the ocean telegraph. The enterprise !
must not, therefore, be regarded as a failure, j
but aa a success, the complete realization of
which wa* prevented by what, eftcr all, will :
only prove to be a temporary interruption.
Congressional Franking Privilege?When '
u Commences and Expires ?In view of the ie- !
cent congressional elections and of tliosc which i
are to occur before tlio assembling of tlieThir- I
ly-sixth Congress, the following {information I
111 relation lo the franking privilege will be of }
general interest:
The franking privilege of members of Con- j
press?senators ai.d representatives?cominen- |
?vs with tho term for which they were respec- '
tiCely elected, or from the period of their elec
lion where that occurred after the final ad- 1
joiirmueiit of the preced ing Congress, and this
without any reference to the time when they i
take their seats or ontli of office. In the ease
of contested seatf, the privilege, of course, belongs
to the person holding the certificate. :
The time at which the franking privilege of
members expires is the fir^t Monday in December
following the expiration of their term of
office.
The privilege of resigning members ceases
on me urst oiouuay in Uccember following the :
date of resignation.
From this it will l.c teen thai members of
jIiq present Congress are entitled to frank up
io the first Monday in December, 185V, and 1
members of llio Thirty-sixth Congrefs will as-.
Mime that right on the fourth day of March
next, or on the day of their election and aceep- I
lance, if elected after that dute.

Tho Weather. !
Tlit weather during the past, few days lias !
been cold, wet, ui;d disagreeable. The rain, j
we leurn, has been very general nnd large j '
quantities have fallen, particularly in the up- . 1
per Districts. We have however no reason . f
to complain, as we have been favored with u j '
delightful fall and the crops are generally j <
gathered. The rain, too, will probably bring !
on an early frost, which can alone check the 1
ravages of the pestilence which is now desola
ting our seaboard.
Our Members.
In pursuance of the suggestion of several of
our exchanges, we give the following l'ost Office

cents per pound, making a total value of?2?7,000,000.

of Postmasters to the necessity of effectually |
cancelling the postage stamps on ail the let* ! *

Shiiik the next Legislature will prove to be a i

Willi respect to the chin ge ti the const it' Lion
of the Senate, lie remarks :
It is worthy of remark that, with but. t wo or
lliree exceptions, the election for Senator hue
resulted in the choice of>?<? men. While w- j
regret I ho defeat, here ninl tlx re, of an a1 le
legislatoi, we must rejoice at the gem ral r< - '
suit. It. imlicatcs, we think, a depire to mollify
in some >ort, the very conservative charaeler
of the Senate, ami render it an elHeienl >
i-ljiltor in the mtleh lieedeil work of leitislsi- j
lion. We are sadly in need of such a chanire. i
Heretofore, the House of Kcpriv-cnlnt i ves has j
recognized the necessitv of reform in nianv .

we rejoice at the infusion of a portion of tlie

States not included in this table, arc represented
in the present Congress by 89 Democrats j
and G5 Opposition men, jocluding "South Ame- j
ricuns." Should they return members oftlici
same politics to the new Congress, the aggregate

In tin' omnibus which oonveved tne from Covington
to Cincinnati, was ti negro woman.
She was informed that her free papers would

cross the river. She was very talkative ami
appeared to feel some pride that she could say, '
that she recollected Cincinnati when there Were '
only two hrick houses in the place. She had
cliargo ofa very old nnd infirm white man.
aim Mit*ay were going 10 somcnuMv ? huusu in
Cincinnati. The old woman iliil not know ,
much of the situation of it, only that it was on !
n certain sticet and lui?l bit; lumps before tin; '
door. On being at for her method of !
finding a house in Cincinnati, sin; justified herself
by saying that the lamps were a< large a>
small barrels. However, she was direeted to
look out for the lamps, and we had not. gone
very far before she espied t hem. They were ail
old pair to be travelling.

I had before noticed the blaek ladies, in the

lei-olh-i-tcd that if I went to Turk'-v, I inu-t do
as the turkeys do; sol amused mvself with
t heir aping of fashionable life. They kept up
a very lively chat, were very observant of . tj.

that they were unite ofthe "ton." I looked

On one or two occasion?, when conversing in
the ears with a pavenger, as kooii as 1 let it
lie known that I was from the South, thequcs
ti>>n of slavery won 1.1 lie very soon introduced
by him, when he would take occasion to dis
claim any connection willi the abolitioni-t, or
niiv desire to inciMle with slavery as it exists
in llii* Slates ; luit. won!J further say lliul. lie
looked ujioii slavery as an evil and was opposed
to its further extension. I wonl'l enter into
no discussion, hut <'ontine<l myself to giving
my opinion tliat tlie States in which il exists
are most competent to legislate upon it.
I am very much pleas-J to learn that the
town of Xenia some GO or To miles north of
Cincinnati, is al tlic present time paying dcarly
for her whilom exertions in tin* abolition
eau-e. Xenia has for n long time licen the
harhoti of runaway negroes from Kentucky.
They were cut iceil thci e, secreted ami made so
much of that they have got. quite ahove themselves,
and the result is that the whites have
found out to their sorrow, that they have been
introducing an idle, insolent class, disposed to
go beyond the limits of forbearance. It is said
to be a pretty plaee. but the most respectable
pari of the population are leaving it from this
cause.
On returning from N iatrara to ltnir.-ilo 1 tmi.l..
inquiries whether there wils n steamer leaving
for Chiciigu or ('li'Vrltmtl. I was told that
there were none rutin ing. hut there were propellers.
Wluit thought I are propellers?are
1 Ihf v not steamboats ? As 1 did not like to n.-k
t he tpicstion for fenrof exposinjr tny ignorance.
I took a long walk down to tin; wharves for
the purpose of finding out. The}' are large
steamers moved l>y a ?n opeller and employed
in cnrr\-iiig freight. As it look one of tliein five
or six days to reaeli Chicago, I made other arrangements,
moved thereto. Mr. Editor, not only
by the consideration that I could not well
do otherwise than go hack the same way I
came, hut hy the fact that I had another inducement,
owing to 1113' curiosity having been
strongly excited on my outward journey, l.y
the-advent and passage through the ears, of
a youth hearing in his hands a tray divided into
sundry compartments, into each of which
compartments was very cosily deposited, a paper
hag made of delicate, tissue paper, and
these hags were variously colored and tilled
with?what? I must context Me
I was very Tiii.-li puzzled ti> guess what. This
youth would ever and niiun cry out the right
answer to llio question?what? filled with
what ? But fur the life of die i could not make
it out. It might have been as well in Dutch. I
saw one of my neighbor* a short way oil', procure
one of these beautifully tinted paper bags
and apply himself very diligently in (mustering
tho contents to his inouih. I was really
bothered ahout it, and determined at the next,
favorable opportunity to experiment. I therefore
had my mind fully made up, and as soon
as the aforesaid youth appeared within tho
door of the car with said tray or one very like
it, I felt that the time had come for solving the
question. I inquired the price of one of said
beautifully tinted paper bags ; lie said one
dime. The transfer was made and I gently op
cncu 113 moum nnu louml williin?what ? popped
corn to be sure. It was beautifully popped,
Mr. Editor. Tlic little corns had expanded
themselves wonderfully with the nid of
crinoline. I must confess Mr. Editor that I
was rather astonished, but as I had uctcrinined
to do ns others did, ntid as I had got nmonir
people who ate popped corn, why I should eat
popped corn too. But really, 6ir, it was not so
bad, niul I came to that conclusion before
reaching the bottom of my beautiful bag, for I
did reach the bottom of it and found tlmt the
desire to cat became greater, ns I endeavored
to satisfy the appetite by eating?for as I eaid
before they were beautifully popped, and melted
away in the mouth as a snow fluke.' 1 shall
flherefore take the liberty of recommending to
i your faTorable n otice, should you ever trovel
ftom Cleveland to Buffalo, the popped corn
merchant, and i think you will agree with me,
.that the people of this region know a thing or
Vtwo, and that of these things, one is how to
Jjop corn, and another is that popped corn is
good to bo eaten. Yours. ?
