SOUTH.CAROLINA.

The following extract Of letter from
native Of New York, at present resid-
ing in Charleston, will afford the reader
some idea Of party excitement as it has
existed in that quarter.
Charleston, Oct. 12, 1882.
We are having pretty warm times
here, and l presume you will have learn
ed before this reaches you that the nulll-
fiers have gained the late election, in
which was involved all our hopes Of pre-
serving the Union. Notification will
therefore be down upon us in a little
while. The Union party strained every
nerve to avert the calamity, but in vain.
They were defeated in Charleston by a.
bout 1870 majority. The fact is, the I'm
ion party is the strongest and most re-
spectacle, but the nullies are the rabbe,
and are, however, headed by some men
Of first rate abilities. For two weeks
prior to the election, We had 'all sorts of
tines here. Each party had public
meetings and suppers every night. The
first meeting attended was on Friday
Union, Of course. There was much ell
oquent speaking on the occasion, from
such men, for example, as Col. Drayton,
J. II. PoiDsett, J. J.. Pettrigru, sc. On
Saturday, our party had another meeting

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The packet ship President, Captain
Moore, arrived yesterday from London.
By this conveyance the Editors Of the
!, Commercial Advertiser have received
London papers to the evening Of the
18th oCOctober, inclusive.
/ The packet ship Virginia, Capt Har-
lis, from Liverpool, and Francis l, Capt
Pen, from Havre, are both below
These ships, and also the President, were
boarded by the news-boat belonging to
the Courier and Enquirer, who kindly
bro,ght up our papers. The Virginia
sailed on the 10Th of October, having
been detained by stress of weather; the
Francis sailed on the lth Oct.
The news is decidedly important
The organization of the new Ministry in
France, has been the signal for. gene
raj clamor. All the independent papers,
witt a single exception {the Journal des
Debats, whose proprietor has just been
made Peer have declared against the
new Ministry, and have united with one
voice to put it down. The Chambers
are to meet on the 10Th Of Nov, and it
is believed that the Ministers will not be
able to command the Deputies. But
Marshal Sou!t is resolved upon gather
ing all possible strength, and has already
deluged tine Chamber of Peers with a
creation of forty one new members! The
Marshal appears determined to act with
vigor, as by his circular he pledges him
self to take, without delay, the strongest
coercive measures against all the parti-
zans Of the exiled dynasty; by which he
means that he will use every eXcrtion to
suppress the Vendean war-and that he
will "press to its solution, every undeci-
ded European question:" which signi-
fes that he is ready to draw the sword
against the King Of Holland. In the
mean time he must be prepared to ex-
pect a severe opposition at home, which
may have no small effect in curbing his
martial propensities abroad.
Meantime also the press brenthcs the .
fercest spirit of opposition, and some Of
the public functionaries, the chief of the
police, and two or three projects, have
their Offices.
In regard to Holland and Belgium,
the latest advices are warlike. All
doubts as to the determination Of Eng
land to interfere directly, and by arms,
il necessary to the opening of the free
navig alton Of the Scboldt, appears to be
ut an end.
From the Portsmouth Herald of Sat-
nrday:-Orders have been issued for the

Iron, to be placed under the command of

from its unjust imputations. Mr. Pearcc
with all his boastcd manifestations Of up
holding this paper, has never seen the
interior of our Office bu. tiDice since its
establishment, and at no time, although
we cordially supported him when he was
before the pablic upwards of year ago,
has he ever troubled himself, or advised
with us, as to the course this paper ought
10 pursue, or what would conduce to its
best interest, or the interest Of the Ma
tional Republican party. On the score
of upholding this paper, therefore, we
feel under no obligation to Mr. Pearce,
beyond the amount Of his subscription;
and we would here also add, that the pa
per had been established upwards Of a
year before he concluded to subscribe for
it. So far from denying Mr. Pearce the
privilege Of vindicsting himself through
the columns ofthis paper, we would have
willingly, and gladly inserted any thing
under the hand of Mr. Pearce at any
time, had he offered it. We have in fact
always been solicitous that he should
clear up the doubts that universally per-
vaded the minds Of his supporters as to
his steadfastness in the cause in which
they had right to suppose he had enlist

paper, and the story that the Herald of
The Times was got up under the especial
auspices of certain individuals in this
place, according to Mr. P's statement,

man that perhaps the time ,riH come when

/ The sub Joined letter from the Mayor
of New Orleans to the Mayor of Mobile,
gives the history of tho epidemic up to
the I'd inst:-
| New ORLEANS, ed Nov. 1882.
4 The Hon. John Stocking, Jr. .Mayor of
Mobile, Sir:--In answer to your inqui-
rics in relation to the Cholera, now rag
ing in our city, | will state that our
Board of Health has, till now, done III
tie or nothing On the arrival at lur
port of three steamers from Louisville on
the 22d of October last, each with one
/ case of cholera on board, the disease
forthwith spread about Faubourg ST. Ma
ry, in front Of which the said steamers
were moored
L The number Of cases increased houyly
in that Faubourg, and that, to an alarm
ing degree. The deaths nearly sudden,
say within few hours.
The spreading of the Cholera in the
city proper, ensued within a short period,
but the cases were chiefly disseminated
along its front, and in the contiguous
places. For these last four or five days,
they have greatly increased in number,
and more generally proved fatal to the
slaves, notwithstanding all the cxertions
made for their relief. The Suburb Ma
rigny received the infection still later, or
at least with fewer cases. Now, the
whole surface of the city has become
prey to the disorder. Several prescrip-
tions, highly recommended by medical
men, and other correspondents Of Eu-
rope, and of the Atlantic cities, were
extensively circulated 6 prepared, which
in many instances have been successful;
more so with the whites, and of those Of
the ancient population, or persons of So
ber habits than otherwise.
Those who fall victims, up to this date,
die within the short period Of six or eight
hours. We have lost large number of
Irish emigrants (mostly laborcrs) and
some German emigrants.
Annexed herewith, | transmit to you
some ofthe most accredited prescriptions
against the Cholera; with a sincere wish
that they may not be necessary at your
place; and if necessary, that they will
procure as much, or more success than
with us.
An attempt was made this day, to pu-
rily the mass Of the atmosphere by firing
cannon, at the intersection Of streets, and
burning empty tar barrels and other sub
stances in our streets.
l am very respectfully,
Your obedent servant,

At the close Of the polls last evening,
and when the result of the votes was made
known, the Hon. Dutee j. Pearce re-
marked in an exulting manner to some
of our political opponents, GIVE have gain
ed t,ceniy-one since the last trial." (mcan-
ing the Jackson men and anti-masons)
and then with broad, out-landish laugh,
sidled out Of the house, to the universal
disgust of every by-standcr. His con-
duct throughout the day was in perfect
unison with the course he has pursued
for some time past. fIe voted for the
Jackson candidate for Governor, the
present Lieut.. Governor, and Ito fulfil
his word and not from principle, for he
has long since lost all prctcnsions to every
thing connected with principle, for Clay
electors-and used all the influence he
was capable Of from the opening to the
closing Of the polls, to injure the success
of the National Republican prox and T.
lectoral ticket. We were not in the
house during the whole day, but gentle
men in whom we have the most imphdt
confidence, assure us that these facts ae
entirely susceptible Of proof
We find the following very judicDus
remarks in the Baltimore Chronicle,
The soundness of them must be obvous
to every intelligent reader.
"The termination OF the presidential
contest, leaves the public mind in tate
of comparative tranquility, better suited
to the examination of principles, andto a
Just decision on measures. We nave
long been under the conviction, tha the
public interests required restriction Of
the constitutional term Of service d our
presidents; and the experience IF the
few last years has indelibly impressed
upon our minds the necessity Of tie mea-
sure. Unless presidents be rendred in
eligible for reelection, it must nevita-
bly, result, that the patronage ofgovern-
ment will receive such directions as to
advance the pretepsions of the incum-
bent to a second term. This is the mo-
ment to examine and determine this i'm
portant subject. There is yet no candi-
date in the field; no array of parties; no
feeling of attachment or of hostility to
individuals likely to become candidates,
that can preclude deliberate and un-
preiudiced decision Of the question. We
feel assured that public opinion favors
hc proposed change, and that it is ex-
'ected that the subject will engage the
attention of members at the approaching
session of congress.
Another matter also deserves immedi-
lte attention. a law should be passed
by Congress requiring the votes for cleo
ors Of president and vice president to be
given on the same day throughout the
Union. This would prevent undue in
Iuence and much corruption-and could
ot, by possibility, be productive of any
1iury or Inconvenience" |,

The fairest in the dance,
Bestowed upon his brow and hand
Her philosophic glance.

No wonian's love shall light on thee,
No womans heart be thine
And trust me, It's not that thy cheek

Nor that thine eye is slow TO speak
What only eyes have told;
For many a cheek Of paler white
Hath blush'd with passions kiss
And many an oye Of lessor light
Hath caught its fire from bliss
Yet while the river seeks the sea,
And while the young stars shine,
No womans love shall light on thee,
No woman's heart be thine
