!Messrs. Bruner s. James 81 have just
returned from Winnsboro' twelve miles
south Of this place, where the Stale TEN
nerauce Convention Of South Carolina,
was holding its semi-unnual meeting. Its
sitings continued through two days. and
closed at very late hour last mig ght. About
one hundred delegates were in attendance
from different portions Of the State. The
BODY contained many men Of talent aud
influence; aud Tho debates were able, excl
ting aud interesting, yet characterized by
nrenl kindness. aud uuanimily Of senti-
ment. The annual address was delivered
by Mr.. Bowman, Editor of The Tempe,
rance Advocate, and was replete with
eloouence aud sound argument. The
prinical object of the speaker was to ex-
hibil the evils Of the vending Of ardent
spirits; aud the rumsellers suffered not a
lillle.
On The evening Of The first day, the
audience were addressed by Rev. DR..
Hazelius, of Lexington. LieY,. Duryee.
u. S. N. aud Rev Mr.. Barnwell, Of Char
leslou. The next day at eleven. addresses
were heard from Rev. Mr.. M'Cain, OF
Edg6eld, and the Hon. J. b. O'Neall, the
President of the Convention.-The latter
gentleman explained at some length the
present existing license laws ofthe State.
On the last evening the sneakers were

the speeches were excellent, abounding in
argument, illustration, and Interesting incl
dent. The effects we're most happy
about one hundred individuals signed The
pledge, among whom were not few of
great inlluence,-(Ladies of course.
The most important subject discussed
in the Convention was the License System,
or the Aiksn Resolutions. Twelve months
ago, at the Aiken Convention, resolutions,
were passed to petition the Legislature for
the privilege being given to each District
TO withhold or grant license TO retailers,
by "A popular vote oflhe. District. Some
petitions wcre sent up 10 the Legislature
at lis last session. but they were regarded
like the petitions Of our fore-fahers to the
British Parliament. The subject was
brought before The recent Convention, and
after an able aud lengthy debate The Aiken
Resolutions were sustained without dis.
senling voice. The Legislature will be
again peti,ioned by thousands ; and the
prospec, is, tha, South Carolina, like New
York, will soon stand redeemed, regene
rated and disenthralled. from the curses OF
liquor selling.

From thepolicy which has already been

There can be no. doubt but al the lime
that Commodore Stockton declared all
The porIs Of the west coast Of Mexico in a
state of blockade, he was satisfied tha, The
troubles 10 California were at an end. II
such had been the fact, he would have
had naval force sufficient to have enforced
