"HEAD HIM OR DIE! ''-The author of the
above sentiment, the Hon. John Minor Bolts,
rep resentative elect from the Richmond Dis
trict, seems not to have forgotten his old pro-
pensities, but still persists in his hearts desire
to "head" somebody. Capt. Tyler, as he was
rudely called, survived the yituperaton and
abuse which Mr.. Bolts heaped upon him in
vain, and we are inclined to the belief that
Mr.. Polk will, by something less than a mi
racle, be delivered safe and harmless from the
hot and prosecuting fury of this unsated and
war-to-the- knife political &c tormentor.''
1t is said that g coming events cast their
shadows before and therefore, we conclude
from the following sentiment which Mr. Bolts
forwarded to be drunk at fourth of July Gel
ebration by the wings of Philadelphia, that the
next session of Congress will be interspersed
with those vexatious and harrassh5 scenes
which only serve to give an undesirable noto-
riety to their authors and to spend, for naught,
the peoples money:

Speculation at a rew State Capitol-There
was great scene of speculation last week at
Michigan City, the newly created Capitol Of
Michigan State, at which bidders from Ohio
and New York, as well from the peninsular
State, were in attendance. The seat OF gov
eminent was, when pitched upon by the Le-
gislature, blank in the wilderness The re-
cent sale, says the Albany Atlas, was OF a
part of one school section. Iwo-thlrds OF
the section, 300 lots, had been hrst apprals-
ed at $50, 900, the lots ranging from $40 to
$500. About five hundred of these were put
in market, every two alternate lots beng re-
served The sale went off well, and some
of the lots sold above the appraisal; 81 OF
them bringing $1,000. Besides this there
were many private sales.

DEATH OF Col, A. III. PEMPERTo,

DEATH OF Col. A. H. PEMPERroN.-It is
with deep and unfeigned regret that we have
to announce the death of Col. A. H. Pemper-
ton, the former editor and proprietor of the
South Carolinian. Mr.. P. died at his residence
near this place, on yesterday afternoon, about
o'clock, after protracted illness, in which
he suffered much.
Mr. P. had been connected with the press,
both in this State and Georgia, for number
of years. AS writer he was bold and fear
less, and an able exponent of the Democratic
party, to the advancement of which he had
for many years labored. A large circle Of
friends and acquaintance, have to mourn over
the loss of one bound to them by many ties

ROYAL JEwELs.-The European correspon-

den, gives the following description OF the
jewels in the Royal Cabinet of Sa1ony:
The old sovereigns Of Saxony must have
possessed Aladdin's lamp, to have amassed the
rare jewels, carvings in precious metals, and
costly works of art, accumulated in the cases
of Crume GerDolbe, or green vaults. Large
goblets composed of agates, caIcedony and la:

-saphires, pearls, rubies and diamonds, to
the value of many millions exceed any SINH
lar show, have ever seen. One OF the dia-
monds is a green bfihiante, weighing forty
carats, and among the comedians in stone on
which is cut a cross set in ring for Martin
Luther. The seal-ring of the former is also
here, bearing deaths head, around which is
the motto, "mori sepa eogita'' The most
costly works of art are by Dinglinger, the
Saxon Benvenuto Cillini, whose masterpiece
represents an Oriental Emperor holding court
surrounded by his guards and mobiles in full
costume, to the number of 1873 figures, all Of
pure gold enamelled. This trinket occupied
Dinglinger eight years, and cost 400 at q
period when not one Saxon in ten was taught
to read. 1t is said that the diamonds alone in
this collection would pay off the heavy nation
