S?g? HMM??BMBCM??IW ! From ihe Columbia Telegraph. GViaklustox, S. C., July 6,1851. j. To the Editor of the Telegraph: Among j the "On Dits" of the day, published in your paper of the 3d hist.', will you permit mo to c correct the one affirming "That all proceedings ,, on the new Custom House at Charleston, have c been suspended by a recent order." v This is not the fact Every practicable pro- r gress has been made on the site selected?the s old buildings which occupied the ground have ] been removed, and a large amount of valuable j materials secured. The locality being on re- v claimed ground, the foundation, it was appre- r hended, might prove treacherous, and a series ^ of test borings had to be gone through before ^ the architect could be sufficiently informed to \ prepare and submit a plan. This he has done, 1 and as the operation will involve a much heavi- f er expenditure than was at first estimated, he j has been ordered to Washington to explain the t details, &c. The preparations for the con- r strnclion of a building of the large proportions . ~c r,u..?iQeK-,r. Pucfnm House, with its or Ul tut? VUttUtCivu X/ f naraental dome, porticoes and massive columns, require much time and labor to mature. There have been no obstacles thrown in the way to progress by the Department at Washington, or ^ any orders to suspend proceedings since I have* acted as commissioner. The Department at { Washington has shown every disposition to ^ press forward with the building, and has manitested a strong desire to gratify our citizens in the wish of having the Custom Mouse constructed of native granite; indeed, to have all the mate- * rials and mechanic labor necessary, drawn from our own resources. I regret, however, to say that no favorable response for the fur- J nishing of granite from the Carolina quarries ( has been made, as yet to the advertisement inviting offers. The proposals, in all cases, exceeded by 40 to 50 per cent the offers to supply from other quarters. On these bids, how- ' ever, the Department has suspended action, ' J being desirous of affording another opportunity j' to our cithens, so to modify their.offers as to 1 secure the Carolina granite, within the range of ' prices that would not be excessive, but renin- ' nerative. It is to be hoped, therefore, on the 1 P ^advertising, that those who are the proprie- I wfk-of qqarric?kwill avail themselves of the 1 opportunity of supplying the material wanted, J *' n?T:? lima nnpn new ' irom tue varunuu 'suui aim >m>.

"by fnvitajion, at a 4th July celebration, beajj^OMvillo, Chester District, and addressed ?. the people on the great and paramount question . . of the day. There were probably 2500 or 3000 persons present, and all were anxious to hear his vindication of the policy of secession. Chester has been reckoned among the submission Districts of' the State?placed even by the side of Greenville?but the current has chnfijgbd, andthefsecessiouists will Lave an overwhelming majority. The people are becoming satisfied that secession will eventually lend to co-operation, and co-operation to a Southern ? Confederacy; and ihey have renounced the y~?i?1_:?e otiKmUciniiiKfs wlin were de- ? fieauvremp %jt vuo OUVH..w.?..? , crying sep.ir.nte State action and advocating co-operation, simply because they thought the ^ latter impracticable. He spoke about two J hours, and although I have heard some of the , ablest speakers in the country, 1 must say that n this was the most powerful and effective ad- jj dress I ever listened to. When he recounted ^ the injuries inflicted on the South, and appealing to the spirit and courage of the people, declared that South Carolina should take tho lead in I resistance, the hearts of the assemblage beat e (!' in unison with bis own, and loud and repeated fl j bursts of applause showed unmistakable evi- <1 dence of tho full approbation of bis views. It was, truly, an able and eloquent effort, and tended to remove all doubts from the minds f< of the most 6ceptic.il resistance men in regard ? to the policy, and, in fact, of secession for the e maintainauce of our rights and liberty. F I will not attempt an abstract of his speech, c as he has been requested to furnish a copy for n pubiicaliAp; and if convenient,J trust, will com- .V ply with the wishes of his friends.

It lias been Used with sucess in the office of the Press, and excites the dmiration of all who see it. The light proeeds from a small vessel provided with tubs, vhich sends forth long jets of flame, which >lay on another vessel placed a short distance ibove tho first The gas is brougt into the arge vessel?this is heated by the flame beow. It heats gradually, and soon doubles its 'olume. When doubled, the same illuminating natter comes in contact with double the quantiy of atmospheric air, and hence burns with greater intensity and without loss, nearly one lalf being lost when the gas is not expanded. V small capsule of platina serves to divide the lame, and, as it is heated, becomes luminous tself. The arrangement is such as to obviate he danger of explosion, and much cheaper naterials can be used for the prodution of the jas than in the ordinary method. A Costly Visit.?As Capt. Nye, the comnander of the Pacific, was conducting a party if Kuropcan friends through Phalon's magniicent Tonsorial Saloons in New York, for the nirpose of showing them what an expensive ind elegant people we Americans are, not only n the fitting up of our steamboats but even in he decoration of our barber's shops, a pugna:ious bull dog, belonging to one of the foreign tentlemen, suddenly plunged through a costly nirror extending ftom the floor to the ceiling, md shattered it into a hundred fragments. The irice of the Mirror was five hundred dollars, ivhich sum the owner of the dog handed over :o Mr. Phalon with the greatest nonchalance. Death from Unnecessary Alarm.?Dr. Josiah It. Skeen, a highly valued citizen of Jacksonville, (Illinois,) retired to bed in good health last Tuesday night week, and in half an hour afterwards started suddenly from his sleep, exclaiming that he had the cholera. In this alarm he drank offa large tumbler full of brandy md two or three ounces of strong essence of peppermint, which occasioned his death in a few hours. There were no cholera symptoms present, and the physicians concurred in opinion that the death was occasioned solely by the Jraught taken. . Competition between the Engi.isii and American Lines, etc.?The U. S.Mf steamer Hermann brings a very Jarge and most valuable freight, consisting chiefly of German joods, shipped at Bremen, and French Manufactures, from Havre, So great was the pressure for freight, it is said, that goods had to be -/ifiic/ul n'thnth nl.nchs. and this while the freight was charged at $30 per ton, the Cunard Company charging only S15. This unfair opposition still continues, but apparently injures no Jther but the parties who originated it. We ire informed that the Franklin, advertised to eave Havre on the 2d July, would have a very argc and valuable freight The number of ias*engers brought bv the Hermann is 120. The Uermaiin brings, in addition to her freight, i large collection of owls, swans, hawks, and various British and European birds, alive, inended for the great showman, Barnum.?-V. f, Express.

Politeness.?It is a graceful habit for children ;o say to each other: Will you have the goodless!" and, "I thank you." I do not liko to see prim artificial childern; there arc few things hat I dislike so much as a minature beau or idle. But tho habit of good manners by no ncans implies affectation or restraint. It is juito as easy to, "please give me a piece of pio"' is to say, "1 want a piece of pie." The idea bat constant politeness would render social life oo stiff and restraint springs from a false esimate of politeness. True politeness is perect ease and freedom. It simply consists in renting others as you would love to be treated ,'ourself. A person who acts from this princi>le will always be said to have, "sweet, pretty vays with her." It is of some consequence hat the daughter should know how to enter ind leave a room gracefully; and it is of prodigious consequence tliat she should be in the labit of avoiding whatever is disgusting or offensive to others, and of always prefering their ileasure to her own. If she has the last, a ery little intercourse with the world will leach icrthe lirst. I believe nothing tends to make >eoplo so awkward as too much anxiety to ilease otbert?.--Nature is graceful; and atlectaion, with all art, can never produce anything inlf so pleasing. The very perfection of ele[ance is to imitate nature as closely as posible; nd how much better it is to have the reality ban the imitation.?Mrs, L. M. Child. Coflon Transformed into Flax.?The forign journals li.\ve teemed with the process for jrning flax into cotton. The Paris corresponcut of the New York Journal of Commerce ins announces the reverse of that process: "At the moment we are cclebniting the transwmation of flax into cotton, it is announced, ot. less authentically, that cotton is transformd into flax. The editor of the journal of touen states that lie lias seen a stutr made ol otton exclusively, which has all the appearnco and external qualities of linen cloth. A oung manufacturer of Moulins devoted to it iany years of sacrifices and labor. The rejlt requires no extraordinary process as to lorkmnnship. The tissue becomes the firmer i s it is washed. It may be afforded at tho price f calico of the same width." 1 J .11 e J..?. i?.,^ , w moaern memon 01 ?,yi"g c*? i urning red hair into black. Punch. | j THE CAMDEN JOURNAL, j THO. T.

We wish him, however, abundant success in his new project, We refer our readers to the | Prospectus on next page, which speaks sufficiently in favor of the enterprise. Sheriff of Charleston District. J. D. Yates, Esq., has been elected Shch'ff of Charleston District The majority as far as heard from is six hundred and filly. The Columbia Telegraph. On Wednesday last it was announced through the columns of lite Telegraph and Carolinian, tha1 an arrangemeut had been made by which, for the future, these two excellent Journals would be united. The course of the Telegraph has been such as to command the highest regard of the frien'ds of Truth, Justice and Equality. An ardent supporter of the true interests of the South, we shall miss it in the arena of Southern Rights.? We are glad to see that the South Carolinian, which is unquestionably a paper of the first order, will be beuelilted by this arrangement. Arthur's Home Gazette. This excellent Family Newspaper is well worth the patronage of the Literary public, Edited by I. o. Ariinir, J^sq., one 01 uie uesi writers in Amenca. We have always been ardent in our admiration of Mr: Arthur's writings; his stories are full of interest, sometimes amusing, and always instructive. They are calculated to do g- od, and tend to the mora' elevation of his readers. We welcome the Gazette to a place among the list of our exchanges. j3^"An old and valued friend, formerly a fosidentof ourtown, writing us from Alabama, expresses his gratification at the patriotic course which our State is likely to pursue in resisting the aggrcssions of the General Government, and hopes that South Carolina will take 110 step backwards. Wishes that all the States, may pursue the same course. In such an event, there would be no doubt but that we might get justice, or we could separate, which he believes will have to be done at last; and the Southern States, be belie\'es, are sfron?er now, than thev will be some vears hence. Assures us that wo have plenty of warm good hearted friends in Alabama, who would rush to our aid in case of need. It may be said that this is but one opinion. Yet, opinions altho' one, in each individual, make up the great aggregate of public opinion which governs and controls the destinies of the nation. We believe that there are thousands whose interests are ident fied with ours, would be found rpady and willing to penl their lives, fortunes and honors, in defence of the liberties which wo claim and to which we are justly entitled. The Greenville Demonstration All a glorious huiphug. We are glad of it, and rejoice neariny at me aownian ot ail such principles as tend to inglorious submissionism. Pre-Payment of Postage. As the new rates of Postage are so exceedingly reasonable it is hoped that a general and universal rule of pre-paying will be adopted. It is a small matter to be sure to receive one letter unpaid, but to got even as many as we do, amounts in the course of the year to no trifling sum. Besides, the reduction in the price of letter postage is no advantage to us if our letters are unpaid, for wo are taxed nearly fifty per cent, higher where such is the caso, five cents is the price when the postage is not paid. Whereas, as by the pro-payment system, three cents will pay it. We find the following in Arthur's Home Gazette : i "As under the new postage law, now in oper- 1 ation, letters, when pre-paid, will ho carried any distance under three thoussand miles for three cents, but he subjected to five cents post- 1 age when not pre-paid, a general system of prepayment should be adopted, in order to prevent ' tlio dissatisfaction that will naturally arise in the minds of those who receive letters taxed with the higher rates.- At all the post offices, and in the larger cities at many of the stores, i stamps can bo obtained; and with these, all I who are in correspondence with others should I provide themselves. This will save much in- 1 -Mt Lt i-nAV Jonvcnience, and better insure a system of pre-1 payment. In most cases, those who write, nave matters to communicate of interest to themselves, and should not, therefore, subject their correspondents to nearly double postage tlirough their neglect. If all pre-pay, all will receive letters free of tax ; and thus, by a liberal reciprocity, all will secure the benefit of the system now wisely adopted by our govern ment." TELEGRAPHIC "INTELLIGENCE, From the South Carolinian. Charleston, July 9. Our market is more quiet to-day, and prices without change. GOO bales were sold, at from 5 3-4 to 9 1-2. New York, July 9.

The ship Money arrived at Boston reports that she spoke the brig Fanny, from Mobile to Liverpool, in lat 42, long. 4G, the captain of stated that he had seen a ship full of pasprs on lire, supposed to be bound to >ile. The captain of the Fanny refused to stop to communicate further particulars. The vessel and passengers are supposed to have been lost. The steamship Lafayette, from Liverpool for Philadelphia, put into New York on iVIonday in distress, having come into collision with the brirr Jane from Quubec dnrimr a thick fojr. The ? -Q ^ # W w brig sunk in twenty minutes; the crew, however, were saved. Cotton was dull in Now York on Monday, and had declined 1-8. 700 bales were sold. 50 tierces common Rice were disposed of at 82.94 In Washington, on Monday morning, a platform attached to Jones' now hotel, fifty feet high, fell to the foundation, dangerously injuring several workmen. The court martial, in session on the case ol Col. Talcott, has been ordered to await furthei orders after it has decided it. The Saranac, from Pensacola, arrived al Philadelphia on Monday. Postage Etiquette.?One of our public insti tutions has sent the following appropriate circu lar to its correspondents. It is worthy of ex ample: "It shall be the rule of this Institution, afte; this date, to prepay postage on letters to ou correspondents, when they are written in tin transaction of the regular order of its bnsi ness. Our correspondents are requested tc observo the same rule in writing on their cc n cerns to tho officers of this institution."-Jiallimorc Sun. The. Greenville Meeting.?Wo understam that the groat Union demonstration which was expected at GrceuvHle was a complete failure Not more than between 40 and 50 persons couh be induced to join the procession, and not more than 200 in all were present at the dinner.

Pure thoughts are gems of the soul. The American Sovereign, speaking of Footo and his discussion with Judge Smith, says: "So dreadful afraid is he (Foote) to appear before a crowd of the people after an exposuro of his political treachery by the Judge, that, to protect himself against such a calamity, lie carries along with him to his various appointments a pretensions candidate for Congress, in order that between them they may occupy the whole day in speaking, and Smith thereby be deprived of any chance to reply."'
