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

Mr' V- ; ? J, ^ ^ ^ .
Correspon'k-nce of the Mercury.
Ro?svi!.i.v:, July 5,1851.
%- Messrs. Editors: Hon. R. B. Rhett was present,.
"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. "

10 of importance. 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.

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

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."
