General Commander.

This gentleman has appeared over his signature,
in the columns of the Winyah Observer, correc-
ting the report of his remarks at the Baltimore
Convention, as it appeared in the Washington
Union. He says, 81 did mol say that the democra-
cy Of the State were invited 10 assemble at George
town, or that was appointed at that meeting to
represent the State of South Carolina" This ad-
mission, places the gentleman in the position Of
usurping that which even the small meeting who
appointed him delegate, did not see fit to autho.
rze him to do-to cast the nine voles Of the State.
But not satisfied with the mere correction of the
error Of the reporter, the General continues to ex
plain: he says, "This explanation is 10 my friends
and is not intended 10 propilate the Charleston
Mercury, or the yelping pack W ho have been train
ed TO give tongue wherever the Mercury says bo'o-
,oo'0." Dignifed language truly towards the al.
most entire press Of the Stale! We should think
it beneath the dignity of the person, who, took up
on him, to cast the whole votes of the State, to
get out of temper, on account Of the. yelpins Of
this pack, whose echoyelp says, are "beneath con-
tempt We should certainly have left the Gen.

General any further, but turn him over toh's near
neighbor, the leader Of the ."pack." Wewrte this
paragrark merely to do the Gen. justice, as he was
misrepresented by the Northern reporters, and that
our readers may be nGdeceved, with regard to his
being appointed to represent the entire State, BY

Human Magnetism.

DR.. WILLIAMS stopped few days with US last
week, and gave two or three lectures accompanied
with experiments, upon Human Electriclsm, as he
calls it. Not having had an opportunity of be.
coming acquainted with his theory, we shall ex-
press no opinion concerning it, but merely remark
that one Of his experiments drawing persons TO-
wards him against their willy seems to favor the
theory Of some kind Of magnetism. We leave the
investigation and explanation Of the phenomena
exhibited, to others who are better qualified for the
task. We donot believe in human magnetism, bu,
that the phenomena exhibited were produced by
other means. That apparently very strange phe.
nomcna were produced, we eanno. deny, without
discreditng the evidence of our own senses

Arrival Of Troops at Vera Cruz.

The Columbia Telegraph, of Saturday says
ave learned yesterday that despatch had been
forwarded TO the Adutant General Of the U. S.
at Washington, from Gen. Brooke. of New Orleans
to the effect that some five or six thousand Of our
troops had arrived at Vera Cruz from the interior
of Mexico on their way homea ~ :
As our Regiment is attachedtp GEO. Patterson's
Division, which was to have come down frat, we
may look for them even earlier Than we at first
supposed.
1t should be known that Governor Johnson ever
mindful Of the comfort and welfare OF our Regi.
ment, in a correspondence with the War Depart
ment at Washington, received a pledge that our
Regiment should sail direct from Vera Cruz to
Charleston, so as to avoid the danger of detention
and hazard Of Yellow Fever at NV Orleans.

The Trustees, Directors, or Superlntendants, or

removing the operator of.this Office to another

d.nt ofthe United States; in his own language

tends 10 merge all other questions, however vi.
tai, in mere party issues, and is on this account
especially dangerous to the slave. holding States
whose vigilance should never sleep, on great,
paramount, and peculiar question, which is a.
part from and above all party issues.
7. Resolped, That all those objections long
entertained by the Democrats ofSou,h Caroline
have been strengthened and increased by the
action Of the late Convention in Baltimore.
8. Resolued, That opposed as the Democrat.
ic party ofthe State of South Carolina, compoS-
ing almost her entire population, were known
to he, to take any part in this Convention. the
indignity to the State offered by the Convention
in accepting as delegate one without the pre-.
text OF authoiiy to represent any mnre than
portion ofa Congressional District, thus aiding
him TO place US in false attitude, and permit.
ting him tho influence .i nine votes in their pro.
ceedings, is in itself an illustration and con6r.
nation of many Of the objections we have sug.
gested.
O. Reso7ued, That the open abandonment by
Southern deieg lies Of the instructions with
which they were charged, and as we conceive
of principles essential to the prosperity and
safety Of the South, is still more alarming CON-
mentary on the evil and dangers incident to
such Convention.
10. Resolved, That the Democratic party of
Charleston District had neither lot nor part in
the late Baltimore Conventions; the nomination
ofGeneral Cass for the President, and the pro.
ceedings generally, arc unsatisfactory and Oh
iectionabIe, and the action of that Convention is
disavowed by us, and imposes no obligation
upon the democrats of this District.
II. Resolred, That we deem it inexpedient
now 10 commit ourselves as to preference for
the Presidency. we shall await the development
OF events, and at proper time will use our best
exertions for the candidate whose elevation
would ia our opinion hest serve to advance the
principles set forth in the foregoing resolutions,
the great question Of equal rights under the
Constitution Of the slaveholding and n.slave.
