THE LEG1sLATURE-This body adjourned
on Friday night last or rather on Saturday
morning, 3 o'clock, having remained in session
during the night to perfect certain measures
The most important bill passed, providing for n
representation in the anticipated Southern Con-
gress, and also call for State Convention
will be found in our columns. 1t is not the
measure we preferred, but still we are disposed
to think it will accomplish what we desire.
South Carolina evinces by this measure, that
she is neither hot-headed nor rash but willing to
wait most reasonable time for the co-opera-
ton of all, who are alike interested in our pecu-
liar instit utions and The future equality or indie.
pendence of the South. A bill was also passed
establishing brigade ercampments in each year,
and requiring captains to. drill their companies
every two months, and also Great ny an ordnance
officer to superintend and keep in order, ord
nance aud military stores belonging to the State.
To meet any "ossible contingency in which
the State may be forced by coming events, the
Military Committee recommended an appropri-
alton of S35o,000, which was adopted by both
Houses; portion Of this sum will be expended
in the purchase of cannon, small arms, and mu
nitions of war; In order to raise this amount
the State tax will be increased some fifty per
cent. over former years, but even then it will be
moderate in comparison with our sister States
Owing to the great interest felt on the sub
iect Of our federal relations, and the length OF
the debate in the House of Representatives
little of Il local nature was done. Many bills
were postponed until the lst day Of January
never to be resuscitated, whilst others will
come up again, in due course of time.

| The TRUTH OF THE CAsE.--Some OF the
compromise press of the State, and prominently
among them is the Richmond Times, are labor
ing to prove that the reelection OF Senator
Mason was triumph of the friends of the adj
justment This is decidedly amusing. Now,
the truth Of the matter is, it was anything else
but triumph Of the compromisers. Long be-
fore the adjournment of Congress, MIR. Mason
was threatened with defeat by the friends OF the
compromise, and by none more emphatically
than by the Richmond Times. That paper
promised the Wing vote against him, while there
were a few milk and water Democrats ready and
anxious for favorable opportunity TO oppose
the reelection of Mr. NJ. Accordingly, Gov.
Mcdowell was nominated by card In the Rich
mond Enquirer, through Washington influences
no doubt. which was intended as a sort of
feeler' of the public pulse. But it was soon
found to be no go. The thing was assailed
from all parts of the State, and when the legis-
lature assembled, the signs were too clear to be
mistaken, that Senator Mason c0llld not be de.
feaied! The great body of the Democrats were
for him, while respectable and patriotic frag'
ment of the Wings also manifested unmistake-
able signs of determination to vote for him.
Forthwith the Times hauled in its horns"-tbe
c. mpromisers caved Uneven the veritable
Speaker Hopkins himself, who went to Rich
mond to vote against Mr.. M.-and TO conceal
their sore disappointment, and to cover as we'll
as possible their inglorous retreat, they pro-
claimed that they only supported Mr.. NJ. because
of assurances Of his fidelity to the Union, and
for fear that to defeat him would give aid and
comfort to the enemy" A lame--a miserably
lame excuse, gentlemen, that is not worth the
breath it requires to utter it. II this be so, in
what a ridiculous, not to say criminal category
does the fact place the great body Of the Wings
who voted against Mr.. NJ. and for Mr. Summers
Have they given aid and comfort to the North
The truth is, all the Wings voted against Mr.
Mason who could be induced to vote against
him, and that small fr gment of Democrats who
We're otherwise anxious to vote against Mr.. NJ,
could they have defeated him, was deferred from
doing so from the fear of committing effectua
political suicide!
The election of Mr.. Mason was, therefore,
and unquestionably, u triumph of the Southern
States rights party, or opponents of the COM
promise, and II signal rebuke to all political
trimmers big and little.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE Gov
ERKoR OF THE STATE OF Observation-Disclosures
TING JURIsDIcTIoN.-The many slanderous and
ridiculous reports that are in circulation in re-
lation to Governor Quitman's relation with the
late Cuba expedition, and the rumored orders
of the Federal Administration relative to his
arrest, have induced him to consent to the pub
Iication Of the following correspondence, which
speaks for itself.
We have only to add that subsequently to
this correspondence. an application was made to
the Judge Of the United States dietrict court
for an order for the arrest of Governor Quitman
and his removal to New Orleans on the charge
of participation in the Cuba affair. This motion
was argued in open court on behalf of the pro-
secution by the District Attorney, assisted by
counsel EN- poyed by the Government, and OPP
posed on behalf Of the Governor by several of
our ablest members of the bar,o the ground that
the application WIS irregular and defective, and
that no power existed in the Federal courts, to
make such order. The motion is still under
advisement before his Honor Judge Ghoson.

THE DYING YEAR.

Hank on the solemn night
How the funeral winds are signing
Breathing requiem sad and low,
For the gray Old Year is dying;
Darkness hath spread its pail,
And Time his steps seems straylng,
How slowly doth their echo fall
Through the silent chamber straylng
Hush, tits fearful time
And the hour is dread and holy {;
His breath is faint and his pulses chime
More ftfully and slowly;
His eye is glazing now
Hush stiae cen thy signing
Be still and gaze on his pa!lid brow,
For the gray Old year is dying.
Well may thy heart be sad,
Well may thine eye be weeping
For many hope and joy Of thine
Has he in his silent keeping.
They pass with the dying year,
And the light knows no returning,
And thy soul shall mourn for the fleeing ray
That passed as meteor burning.
Come near-come bow thee down,
In the dust beside him kneeng
Hank, hear we not that solemn chime'
IT'S the deathknell for him pealing.
Would st thou call the dying back :
Alas for the vain endeavor
Eleven-twelve--'tis over now,-
He is dead-he is gone forever

I commendable, assumed the ground, that the
times require a convention of the people to de-
eide on the mode and measure of redress for the
assaults that have been made on the Constltu-
ton, violating the rights Of the South. That
the House of Representatives will follow the
lead of the grayer and more conservative body,
there can hardly be a doubt. -.
We cannot withhold our expression OF grail
fcation at this result. Ii is but the dictate oil
sound judgment, that in time of peril where long
established institutions are in danger OF being
broken up, and circumstances warrant the de-
lay, that the people in their primary character,
and in all penitude of their power, should be
called on to express their will and determine
ton.
The agitators in the free States will now
learn that cool and calm judgment actuates
those who have our destinies in their hands.
That the legislature of South Carolina have
ceased further to complain and demonstrate,
and taken the initiatory step, not to protect her
citizens from any further Infringement on their
rights, but hopeless of redress for past injuries
and aggressions, are disposed to sever all con-
nection with those, who actuated only by de-
termination to carry out the will of a reckless
majority, would trample under foot the sacred
instrument which bound together the sovereign
States of this Union.
We have heretofore warned the people Of
the North that the period was rapidly approach
ing when necessity would compel the Southern
States to cut the Gordian knot that bound them
to league which no longer recognised them
as eqnals-that, whilst exacting the perfor-
nance of all the duties and demanding equal
participation in all the burdens and evils of sus-
tanning the government, yet would deny and
withhold from them, the guaranteed privileges
of that League, by not only refusing to sustain
its spirit and letter, but actually enacting laws
in direct contravention of its plain and express
sed provisious.-C Charleston Courier.

THE Results OF THE LEGIsLATURE.-The
first in Importance Of the measures Of our legis-
lature, is the act to call convention Of the peo-
pie, to take into consideration the whole subject
of our political relationship with the Federal
Union. The election Of delegates to this con-
vention is to be held on the second Monday in
February next, and is to be convened by the
Governor, whenever the Southern Congress ad-
journs if that happens before the legislature is
again in session; if not, then the Legislature, at
its next session, is to appoint the time and place
Of its assembling. The next most important
measure, is the appropriation bills, which appro-
pirate $350,00O towards the military deferces
Of the State. This in connection with the con-
venton bill, is significant Of the settled purpose
Of the State to act definitely in the premises.
The election of delegates to Southern Con-
gress is the next important result, which may in
the sequel prove the most important Of ALL
These measures give assurance to the citizens
Of our sister Southern States, that cooperation
with them is the first and chief desire animating
the breasts of our people, and that if this cannot
be had, then it assures them that South Carolina
will take her remedy into her own hands, and
abide the consequences, with perfect faith Of
the ultimate triumph Of the great cause Of con-
stitutional liberty and Southern civilization.
These measures have passed our legislature
with n unanmity no one dared to expect, though
we al hoped to see The expectations Of the
people have been high rs to the action of the
legislature; they are now fully made sensible of
the true reflection of public sentiment and opin-
ion manifested by our rulers. We congratulate
tho country at the near prospect Of definite
policy and action, which is to settle we trust
forever, the dangerous and disturbing agitation
of question, the solution Of which involves
our existence as an independent people.
