SOUTH CAROLINA,

The 9TH of July was celebrated at Cal.
houn's Mills, South Carolina. Hon. A. P.
Butler from that State, was present, and
responded to toast complimentary of
the Senators.
He spoke of his intention, on entering
Congress, to support Mr.. Folks Admins
tra'ion; but that the course pursued by the
President could not meet with his appro-
baton, but rather of itself forced him
into opposition.
He alluded in no measured terms to the
attempt to create q Lieut.. General with
Proconsuar power. He spoke of it as a
measure that would disgrace the honor Of
the professional soldier, and virtually dis.
band the regular army. He did not spare
the aspirant to the office.

Henry CLAY.-Great men have their
troubles, as we'll as small ones-not the
least of which is the free use made of
their names and acts, by their admirers
and enemies.
Mr.. Clay recently attached himself to
the Episcopal Church, and a. his particular
request was immersed, in one of the "beau-
,iful ponds on his own estate" So said
the immersionists, many Of whom took the
trouble to call the attention of their anti
friends to the fact. The story was soon
spoiled, however, by communication ap-
pearing in the public prints, from "an eye
Witness" who gives detailed account of
the sprinkling baptism of Mr.. Clay, "in

"Good morning." said Baptist preacher
of neighboring village, TO Methods,

'Good morning, brother" said the sprink.
Ter.
Baptist.-"I believe you are an admirer
of Mr.. Clay"
Methodist.-"l am an adm;rer of Mr..
Clay, and place great confidence in his
judgment"
Baptist.-"You are willing to go with
him.
Methodist.-"We have always gone to-
ge,her."
Baptist.-"Then you must go with me
into the water" said he, at the same time
drawing newspaper, and reading an
account of the immersion.
The methodist declined. In few days
he got hold Of a paper containing full
account Of the proceedings sin the par

THE DEMOCRAT.

The Democrat tries to make il appear
that we represent il as being opposed to
"St. Louis being an entrepot for the recep.
ton of foreign goods" We never init
mated any thing of the kind, as any body
with two eyes and enough sense to dis
iinguish between white and black, who
will read our paper, would readily admit.
This is a mere shuttle of that paper to get
out of the awkward position it has placed
itself 10, by opposing the improvement of
the St. Louis harbor. Col. Benton is in
favor of the improvement by the General
government, and the Democrat opposed.
1t first stoutly denied that its views and
the Colonels were different. We had but
to place the printed opinions of the two
together, and the difference was so palpa-
BILE, that the Democrat could not get out
of the scrape, and it now assumes its first
ground, with the addition, that it opposes
the building of light house at ST. Louis!
The Democrat now stands opposed to
any Expenditure for regulating the chan.
mel of the river at ST. Lonis." COL Ben
ton is in favor Of it. These two distin-
guished persons differ on this subject. That
is all. Will the editor acknowledge that
they differ, or write another article about
light houses, Col. Benton's speech, Natchez,
&c. When the light house at Natchez
has nothing 10 do with it, and Col. Ben
toms letter to The Chicago Convention con-
tains his views. Don't be afraid to say
you have denounced COL Benton's views
as ridiculous! Others have done it and
slept soundly.

LATER FROM THE ARMY OF GENERAL

the Brazos, whence she sailed on the 18Th inst.
Col. Curtis lel. the camp at Buena Vista on
the 20lh ut., and furnished the Flag with the
latest news from Major Gen. Tsyor's camp.
Up to the time of his departure from Buena
Vista every thing had remained quiet in camp
The Mexican force at San Luis were variously
reported at from four to fourteen thousand. They
are commanded by Gen. Valencia. A march
against Gen. Wool had been determined upon,
but appears to have fallen through. General
Wool received timely notice Of it on the 18th
ult., and made arrangements for hearty well

brigade OF Gen. Minon Commanded now by

preached within sixty or eighty miles OF Saltillo
Here the soldiers began to desert and discussions
arose, which induced countermarch, and rumor
said that Gen. Valencia was en- route from San
Luis 10 join Gen. Santa Anna at the city OF
Mexico. We can contradict this rumor upon the
authority Of San Luis papers received in this city
within the last few days. These papers state
Gen. Valencia to be still in San Luis, making
preparations for the reception Of Gen. Taylor
They mention that dispatches ordering General
Taylor to form junction with Gen. Scott, by
the way Of San Luis, had been captured, and
they feel certain that Gen. Taylor will march upon
that place. The regular troops under Valencia
are stated at nine thousand, and strenuous sp.
peals are made to the people to assist in the de-,
fence Of the city.
The troops at Buena Vista $4,000 are in good
health. and under Gen. Woo's command pro.

LADY'S BOOK.

The August number of this valuable pc.
riodical has been received, and fully sus.
tains the high reputation the energy and
talent of its publisher has established for it.
We were no little astonished at seeing
the following article in the last Democrat.
After acknowledging the receipt of the
Lady's Book, the editor says:
We have long pufsd, and tolerated It's puerile
literature for the sake Of the craft; but noticing
that il has descended 10 the meanness OF insilling
the Jdlsehoods Of politics into it's pages, with the
present number, we shall close our correspon.
dence with it. This work protesting to DO litera.
ny like other prints protesting 10 be neutral, and

tics into the minds OF its readers. With decep
tons OF this kind, we wish 10 have nothing to
do. The best thing we can say for it, in thus
taking our leave Of it, s to recommend il to ,ohig
patronage.
Upon ascertaining the cause Of our
neighbours indignation, we were more
amused than astonished. What do you
think, reader, the Lady's Book has been
guilty of Abusing PoIkl No. Benton!
No. Going for Internal Improvements?
No. In favor of light house at ST.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD

The Wheeling Committee appointed to confer
with committee of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company, have agreed upon terms for ter.
minating the road at Wheeling; and it only re.

which will OF course be done.
In connection with this enterprise, is an act oil

Telegraph. The following is an extract:-
DEAR CoLoNEL:-To morrow, we expect to
have an engagement with superior Mexican
force; and, on the eve of the affair, have be.
lieved it proper to address you few lines. As
you are we'll aware, the object nearest my hear.
is the welfare Of my little child; and, so far as
have been able, | have provided for her.
Should | fall, leave her entirely with YOU
and your Dife; but have written to my brother.
requesting him to throw his brotherly protection
over her, and IT, at any time, you think fit to
send her to him, he will receive her as his own
child, and protect her as such. Should she re.
main with you, wish that she should receive
as good an education as the little means left her
will afford; and above all things. teach her tina,
truth and virtue are to woman, what the soul is
10 the body-the life OF its life. Teach her that
to be just to all--in thought-in word--in deed.
is the true-the great aim Of a good mind; and
those who strive TO accomplish that purpose.
seldom fail to live at peace with the world, and
accomplish the "Great Destiny" for which thew
are created.
