We will go to the polls and vote against them-Union men will vote against their mad measures in the Leg- islature--the press will keep the peo- pie advised of tic true position of saf- fairs, and expose all misreprcsentations of facts; but if the friends of Union in South Carolina think as we do, they will stand aloof from the broil.

 "The cause of our complaints against the General Government is certainly strong; let ussee if the remedy of rcyo, luton IS as potent and as peaeeabie as it's advocates affect to believe. At all events, they have the control of the State, and if they have the desire to try the grand experiment of notification, let them blame nobody but themselves fit be not tried, and if they find it dis astrous, as such measure necessarily must De, let them remember who brought it upon the country.

 i cltre for dpclling.-The following incident bas oecasoned much conver- satlon:-A discussion arose on Monday at coffee house on the Boulevard des ltaliens, between an elderly gentleman and q young man with black moustach- es which was followed by challenge given by the latter. When the parties arrived on the spot ,the seconds measur- ed the distance and loaded tho pistols. During these operations the young moustached hero kept walking about, humming tune. The gray headed gentleman said nothing, but when eve ry thing was ready, suggested that an explanation might even then prevent matters proceeding to extremitics; but his antagonist, encouraged by this for bearance, indignantly refused 10 listen to any thing of the kind. His adversa. .ry then cooly took up hispistol and see ing bird flying in the air with great raPidity, he fired at it and killed it.-- The young man turned pale; on which the skilful marksman said. "You have now seen my skill, and must either stand my fire, or add 100 Napolcons to the subscription opened for the unfor- tunate cholera patients. Decide quick ly, and recollect, that the lager the bird the more easy it is to hit him." The proposition was accepted, and we un- derstand that the money was paid on the same day to one of the arrondise- ments of Paris

He was arraigned on this charge, a long and patient investigation of the matter en- sued, and the court after mature delib- eration, decided that the prisoner was guilty, and that he should be publicly reprimanded by the persiding magis- trate of the court. hecuIprA was ac- cordingy placed at.the bar: the Chief Justice arose with allthe dignity the oc- casion required, and with impressive gravity, pronounced and executed tho sentence of tine court iii tine following words: "T-G-, you have been ac- cused ofa heinous offence you have been fairly and inpatiently tried and found guilty.
