Less is known to the public of the pcrsoaale
OF the great exponent OF South Carolina opinion,
than of any other of our great statesmen. A
number Of facts in reference to his personal hab-
it's etc, have recently been disclosed, which
will prove OF interest to our readers. The family
of the Senator consists of Mrs Calhoun and sew
en- children. OF these one son is planter in
Alabama, the next a Captain in the army at n.

of our charge at Belgium. Of the three sons a,

A DIGNIFIED REPRESENTATIVE.

The Boston Transcript, speaking of young
man from that city as the secretary Of one of our
foreign minister's says, very complimentary to
the person and to those who appointed him:
''If the object We're to select an invoice of kid
gloves, or to decide upon the merits of an opera
dancer or a prima donna, this gentlemen might
be sent on his own pre-enlinent qualifications for
the mission. But the object being to represent
American fepublicanisn, with due regard to the
fitness and claims of the individual, few appoint
ments more Objectionable could have been made.
His claims We're, that he the son of his father,
and had some great man for his hacker. Men
with obvious, substantial claims, both on ac-
count OF THEN political experience and services,
and their contributions to the literary reputation
of the country, given the 60 by in his favor,
on such grounds! Such appointments are neither
creditable to the persons who urge them, nor to
the administration which yields to their impor-
tunities. The true system in a republic should
be to appoint every man on his o,cn conspicuous
merits, independent of family or personal influ-
ence, of the accident Of birth, or favor of nlepl-
Der of Congress"

THE NEXT HOUSE.

Alabama and Kentucky stand in the next
House of Representatives, in regard to political
parties, as they were during the last session. In
Tennessee we gain one Democratic member. In
Indiana the Wings had four members at the last
ssssion-now they have but one member, the
Free Soil candidate being elected in Caleb 3
Smiths District over the regularly nominated
Wings by the vote Of the Democrats. We sha
probably gain one member in Mississippi and
one in MARYLAND But independently OF these,
the scale inclines in favor oil a democratic ma
iorjty in the next House. The Baltimore Patr-
ot admits that it is Extremely pTobabe, 1t not
certain, that there will be an anti administration
majority in the next House = and drawing upon
its philosophy for consolation says very grave
~, s'Let Locofocoism rule IN both. Gen. taylor
aspires to no other share in the legislation OF
Congress than that which the Constitution has
conferred upon him. Let Congress take the
responsibility of passing evil laws, Or OF refusing
to enact good ones Let us have no part IN it.
The New York Tribune also contesses that
sthe Wing party has almost certainly lost the
ascendancy in the next House; and consoles
itself by the empty hope that 'sthe triumph thus
secured will disappoint, embarrass and ultimate
ly discomfit the victors." For our own part, we
are willing to take the responsibility and employ
the majority we may obtain for the good OF the
country, and in support of republican principles.
These speculations of the Wings, however.
are after thoughts. They are anxious enough
to secure the majority if they could; and Tfu-
man Smith struggled for it with all the means
in his power. But as they cannot ealze the
grapes, they are now willing to cry out that they
are sour ~ ashiagton Union.

HEAR A TAYLOR PAPER SPEAK.

The New York Herald, an independent or
neutral paper, originally for Taylor, thus whis-
ties down the wind the inmitable administration
at Washington:
After all, the melancholy truth is not to be
disguised-cannot be controverted--is not to be
nicely, and snuely, and happily covered over
with the wet blanket of oblyion-that this adj
ministration-this very administration-th very
administration which was nshered into existence
under such favorable auspices, and amid the cor
dial aeclanations Of a patriotic people-has not
met the public expectations. Already there are,
far and wide, indications presenting themselves
which point to great and general discomfort and
We hear afar of, murmurs
which threaten to swell, hereafter, into loud and
distinct utterrauce of dissatisfaction and opposi
ton. 1t would seem as if the popular masses
were almost ready to exclaim, addressing this
Enthusiastically called for bread and ye
have given us a stone; we asked for fish, and ye
have given lis scorpion !"

A SHAMEFUL CONFESSION.

The Mobile Advertiser, one of the most zeal
Gus Taylor papers in the country, plainly avows
that Gen. Taylor's 'no-party' pledges were false
hoods intended to cheat the people! Here are
the Advertisers words
eve are all aware that the no-party papers in
obliged in a good deal of fumme1y about the in
dependence of party that General Taylor would
make no distinction between the Wings and De-
mocrats in appointments to Office, &c, but we,
and the Wing party generally, knew it was all
mere electioneering cant, entirely destitute OF
TRUTH and disreputable to those who INDUCED in
it."
10 Thisa poor compliment, we should say,
to those who are endeavoring 10 justify the course
of the administration, and to Gen. Taylor, be-
cause he, too, INDUCED in the "electioneerine
cant" For proof, read his letters--these, then,
according to the Advertiser, are "entirely desti-
tute OF truth"

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.


We regret, deeply regret to announce to the
public, the death of one Of our most respectable
citizens, ALEXANDER s. HILL, Esq, by fall
from his horse On Thursday morning last, Mr..
Hall left town for the purpose OF going to Scots
vile to attend a meeting Of the Stanton and
James River Turnpike Company, but had pro-
ceeded on ly few miles on his Journey fat the
rise of the hill, beyond the bridge, over Chris
tian's Creek, when his horse took fright, at
hosting an umbrella, and dashed him to the
earth, producing conclusion of the brain, No
one was with him. and in precisely what man
ner he received the injury could not be ascer-
tained-whether he was kicked by the horse or
whether from the shock produced by the fall, is
matter of con ecture-ss the marks about his
person exhibited no dangerous wound Assls-
lance was rendered him in very short time by
some persons on the road who saw him pass but
spot by the horse returning without his rider.
As soon as could be. Mr. Hall was brought to his
own dwelling III town-to that home which bur
few hours before, he had left all Joyous and
harry, but now made desolate by this most al
aictiye aud heart-rendng dispensation of Provi-
dence--to that home, il which, for many long
years, he had presided as husband, father friend,
but now his home no more Oh ! how unex-
pectedly the hearts of his dearest friends were
wrung with anguish--and how poignant the
sorrow OF those friends who looked for his speedy
and safe retnrn. How truly is it said we :know
not what day may bring forth!'' "In the
midst OF life we are in death !" But we must
not pursue this train of thoucht-our own feel
ings forbid it, and we would not add intensity
to the feelings Of the afflicted family Every at
tention that kind hearted friends and skiful
physicians could render was paid to the deceas-
ed-the operation oftrepanning was performed
by Drs. ALEX. WADDELL and BERKELEY, but all
efforts proved unavaiing-Death had chosen his
victim and our friend was called upon TO depart,
we hope to better aqd brighter world than
this, for he was a protesting Christian, and had
been, for many years, a member OF the Presby-
terian Church About 8 O'Clock at night, OF
Thursday, he breathed his last, and the suffering
body was freed from pain, and on Saturday
morning followed to the tomb by the largest
funeral procession we ever witnessed. This
whole community deeply sympathize with the
afflicted family in their heavy bereavement,
while the community itself will sustain loss
for the places filed by ALEXANDER S. HALL,
cannot easily be supplied. Mr. Hall was about
81 years Of age

THE NEW CODE.

The Charlottesville Advocate, notes the follow
sng changes made in the existing laws by the
late Leoislature-An these alterations tend to a
curtailment of the credit system-a result, we
are not prepared to disapprove,
l. The 5th section of chapter 167 provides
lin subsance,) that any person entitled to recov-
er money by action Oh any contract may after
go DAYS notice. obtain Judgement for the same
BY motion in any Court of the County in which
the debtor resides.
The provision dspenses with the writ lit the
plaintiff prefer to proceed by motion rather than
by an ordinary suit) and of course saves the cest
of the writ tax and fee to the Sheriff fer executing
the writ. If no defence be made judgement will
be obtained on the day to which the notice IS CIV
en- but if there be a defence it may be heard
and decided upon in summary way by the
court, or if either party desires it, jury may be
impanneled to try the issue joined.
e The new code dispenses with bail IN civil
cases. If tho Plaintiff either upon the institu-
ton of his suit or at any time before judgement,
will make affidavit that hehad good cause to be-
leye that hisdebtorwill remove his effects beyond
the jurisdiction of the court before judgement can
be obtained--he may sue out an attachment a
Eanst the debtors property commanding the
Sheriff to seize and secule the same until needed
to satisfy the judgement or until replevied by
bond with security, to have it forthcoming to an
swer that end
The abolition ofbail, has of course rendered
necessary change in the form of the writ. 1t is
no longer eapias commanding the officer to
take the body; but simple summons to answer
the Plaintiffs cause OF action.
g. Imprisonment for debt is abolished by the
new code and in lieu of the casa, various pro-
visions have been adopted, designed to obtain
from the debtor, discovery ofall his property
and the delivery and conveyance thereof, to
the sheriff. To this end the debtor may be sum
moned to appear before a Commissioner in Chan
Gerry, and required to answer on oath, the inter
rogatories of the creditor. If he fails to appear
or refuses to answer, the Commissioner is to re-
port him to court, and if he still fails to appear
or answer, he may be proceeded against as for
. contempt And having made known his es.
tate, if he refuses to convey or to deliver it up,
he may be committed to Jail by order of court
4. A judgement lien under the-new law, will
extend to the whols OF the debtors land instead
of to half only as at present. The debtor may
ertcnd the land upon writ OF ctcgat, or he may
sile his bill in court of equity, and have the
land sold, if the rents and profits will not pay
the debt in tfpe years.
The new Code will not go into effect until
the Isl of July next. twill be published the LIST
of January uext,
