The Charleston Courier.

The readers of the Journal will recol!ect, that a
week since we laid down the proposition and gave
the proof, that the Charleston Courier was uA-
sound on the Southern question. We did not eX-
pect then that that paper would NOTICE us; tor
the simple reason that it would be against its in
terests: not from fear of being beaten in an edi-
torial war, but simply because the eliciting ofPub-
lie attention to the fact would operate against it.
1t is taken largely at the North, and by Northern
men in the South. 1t, instead OF the Mercury, is
considered the organ Of South Carolina; and as
the consequence, our opinions and sentiments are
not represented abroad.
sEye viii the New Orleans Crescent read the
following from the correspondent Of the Knoxville
Plebeian,-will he read the speech ex-senator Tur-

opposed to the Southern Convention! The voice
ofTennessce is decidedly for the Convention, with
the sickly exception Of some exotic Yankees, and
cold-blooded subnssioniss like the Editors of the
Crescent. We think that those Southern men
and especially Southern editors, who are opposed
to Convention-the only means BY which the
South and her rights can be preserved-wiL

THE FALLS of St Anthony have at
length been reached by a steamboat. We
clip the following account from the Nine
sofa Chronicle and Register
We were on board the Anthony WAYNE.
on a trip from Fort Smelling to the Falls
Of St. Anthony. Wonders will never
cease. Five years ago if it had been said
that a steamboat Of ordinary size would
land within three hundred yards of the
Falls of St Anthony, in 1850, it would
have been thought visionary. and the pub
lie would have been incredulous Such.
however. is the fact, which we have wit
messed with our own eyes. The boat left
St Peters after dinner, and arrived at the
landing probably between three and four
O'clock distance Of some eleven or
twelve miles. we should think-by water
There was quite q company on board
Gov. Ramsey. gentlemen and ladies from
St. Paul. also from st. Peters. The band
from Fort Smelling aE on hand, and ad-
ded much to the plea are of e. party by
the excellent music during the trip. The
citizens of St. Anthony turned out en- mas
Sc, both sexes, and lined the shore. The
cheers from the crowd on the bank and
the waving of handkerchief, together with
the music on board, produced degree Of
excitement seldom witnessed.
There Is but little difficulty at this stage
Of water in ascending the river as far as
what is called Cheeyer's Landing, about
half mile below the place reached by the
Anthony Nayne-within three hundred
yards of the great falls, in full view of the
town. and indeed at the lower end Of it
For the last half mile the boat had to con
tend with a most rapid current and rocks
on either hand but by the skill and en-
ergy Of the captain, pilot, officers and
managers Of the boat, the landing was at
tanned which heretofore has been thought
impracticable
We learn that a subscription was made
up by the citizens of St Anthony Of two
hundred dollars and to be offered to the
first boat that should reach the landing
below the falls. Capt Rogers has fairly
won, and has received this prize
The boat lay at the Falls until the next
morning The citizens Of the town col
lected on the boat in the evening and pas
scd suudry resolutions. Tuesday, the til
Of May, 1850. will not soon be forgotten
by the people Of St Anthony, or those on
board the Anthony Wayne on that occa-
sion.

L lNtAA AZ IN ALll- BIN q D. L ~
YEARS AGo.-The Buffalo Express re
lates the following reminiscene of the Con
gress of I7Q7 1T is drawn out by the
late scene between Foote and Benton in
the Senate. But this was IN the House
of Representatives and therefore not SO
strange.
Roger GriswoId was one Of the very
first men of his day-so understood and
appreciated throughout the country. He
was the acknowledged leader Of the House
Of Representatives. and no one Of his co
temporaries was held In higher estimation
in all the relations Of life
The difficulty arose between him and
Matthew Lyon. q member from Nernont,
in this wise: Lyon was bautering Cris-
wold about the continued predominance
ofthe federal party il Connecticut, and li-
uallv boasted that he could revoluti0HIzc
the State In three months. Griswold re-
piled in the same toue-he did not doubt
LYONS power to achieve the feat and after
suggesting the ul0lltts oDcrGual. told per
tinent story Of Lyon, in which the latter
appeared in very ludiCr0us light. There
was a hearty laugh among the half doz
en- members who were grouped together
ON the floor Of the house. Lyon was eX-
asperated and being hot tempered man,
was guilty of the gross vulgaritv of spit
ting in his face Mr. Griswold was
man Of uncommon physical power, fall Of
spirit and resolution; but he had great
command of himself and restraining bis
first impulse to strike his assailant down,
he determined to await the action Of the
House. There was an investigation, and
an attempt to cXpel Lyon; but he was
under the protection of the majority, and
then. as now, every thing was controlled
by party considerations, and the matter
was CLOSED over
Mr. Griswold awaited patiently the re
suit Of the investigation. and on finding
the House determined to do nothing. I'M
mediately took the business into his own
hands, and finishing it coolly and summa-
rily, but thoroughly He entered the
House prepared with a serviceable cud-
gel, and after the Speaker had called to
order arose in his place and addressed
the chair

strength. for he could have Drained him
with single blow. Lyon seized the tongs
Immediately. and as he was supported by
a considerable number of his friends
there was for moment some apprehen-

a fever seems to be falling into 5isreputo
so far at least as the first clause IS concer-

all means Of curing colds. fasting is the
most efectuaL Let whoever has a cold,
eat nothing whatever for two days, and
his cold will be gone, provided he is not
confined IN bed-because, by taking no
