DKBow's REVIEW for December
This excellent work continues to maintain its in
terest and value. The present number is embel-
lished with an engraving of G. T. James, the
writer on Southern manufactures. Batting an &C.
casional article of sectional tone, the Review is
always filled with valuable matter, We learn a
competent person will call such of our business
men as are not subscribers, for their names. Every
counting room in the city ought have the Review
lying by the Crescent.

TIE HEALTH OF THE CITY.-At late hour
we discovered that the hospital report had not been
procured We regret this extremely, as it is our
intention to publish every week the condition Of
the city without fear or favor. 1t is much better
that the truth should be told, and we will not sup
press facts in regard to this subject.
The reports in the country In regard to the
existence of cholera here, are greatly exaggerated
There is no epidemic here, but during the last
week and the early part of this, there were several
very sudden deaths from cholera. 1t has now
abated, and we believe that there is no more danger
here and no more cases in proportion to the Popu
lation, than in the country.

The SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.-In the
South Carolina House of Representatives on the
2sth, resolution was offered, declaring that no
u S. Senator should be elected to fill the vacancy
now existing from that State and that the present
Senator and the representatives be instructed not
to their seats in Congress until authorized.
Mr.. L. M. Keitt offered preamble and resolu-
tons on the subject of our federal relations de-
claring that secession by the Southern States was
the only course left them, consistent with safety
and honor, and re-afirming and providing means
for carrying out the resolutions and recommended
tons of the Nashville Convention.
These resolutions, under the rules were de-
ferred.
On the Doth, Mr.. Perry offered preamble and
resolutions, that the Legislature heartily concur in
the proposition of the Nashville Convention to con-
Vene a Southern Congress-that the Judiciary
Committee report bill for the election of represen
tatives to such Convention-that in case of any
Southern State refusing or neglecting to appoint
delegates that it will be the duty of the Cover nor
to appoint delegates to such States to urge the
people and Legislature thereof to unite other States
in Congress of the whole South-was ordered to
be printed,
Mr. Wilkinson offered resolution that the Gov
srnor be requested to ascertain from the Federal

The Washington Union holds the following Ian
guage in reply to portion Of Judge Cheves' dis
union speech
&" He sneers at the glorious Union, and reiter-
ates again and again the question, What benefit
has the sun produced to the solar system? The
most rational mode of answering both questions
would be by asking another: What would the
South have been without the Union what
would the solar system be without the sun!
And has it really come to this, that we must
blot out all the glorious achievements of our ia
thers-all their labors in arms and IN counci-the
work of the wisest men whom the world has ever
seen, in the constitution of the United States
Must we expunge all the solemn lniunctlons of
Washing blessings OF the Union, which
he has detailed in his farewell address, and the
solemn warning which he left behind him to watch
over and preserve it as the palladium of our liber-
ties and the hope of the human race Must we
Consgn to the flames all the cOunsels OF Jefferson,
and Madison, and Jackson and OF all the great men
who have pronounced their eloquent euoglums
upon the Union which is now to be sacrificed
Must we exclude all their admonltons and hearken
only to the Croaking voice OF Mr.. Cheves Our
name as one people-our glories Americans
the respect which our flag commands in the most
distant parts of the earth and the sea-are these,
too, to be abandoned Are we to see the noble
public buildings which are now within our sight
with the monument of Washington himself, de.
serted Are all the beautiful Improvements in this
metropolis thrown down, and i land, now strewr
with flowers and with fruits, TO glitter with the
steel which we are destined to aim at each others
threats We conjure the voluntary secessionist
the disunionist per Sc to look at these things, t
calculate all the consequences of dissolution, and t
pause in his insane career"

There was large gathering of the citizens OF
Nashville in favor Of the Union on the 23d Chan
cellor Cabal was made Chairman. The meeting
was addressed by Hons. Andrew Ewing and An
drew ]. Donelson,-the former the democratic rep
esentative in Congress from the Nashville District;
| the latter nephew of President Jackson his pr-
vate secretary during his Presidential terms, and
more recently U. s. Minister to St. Petersburg.
Major Donelson was, also, member of both the
Nashville Conventions. The proceedings of the
meeting were marked by great harmony-whigs
and democrats, without distinction, participating in
them with enthusiastic feeling.
Resolutions were unanimously passed that the
people of Tennessee are a Union-loving and law
abiding people, and recognize submission to the
primary laws to be the primary duty of all good
citizens. That State has the constitutional
| right to secede, and any such attempt would be
revolutionary and its consequences entail civil strife
l and bloodshed The abolition mobs and riots in
the Northern cities for preventing the execution o.
| the Fugitive Slave Law, and their abolition con.
ventions, and the continued agitation of the slavery
issue, WILL if persisted in, parayze all our energies
| and lead to the total alienation of one section o
the Union from the other-that we maintain tn
right of the people of the States whenever palpa
bly, intoerably and consututonally oppressed, t.
, | throw off the chains that Cypress them but thi
right is involuntary in its character, and there is
present for its exercise, therefore no ne
| cessity for Southern Congress Convention
that we unite around the constituted authority
!, the country for the maintenance of the supremac
of the laws, and in spirit of kindness we re
spectfully warn our Northern brethren that an a
tempt to repeal failure to enforce the Fugitv
Slave Law will unite all the South and most prof.
ably end in total separation of the States--th.
q the Compromise measures of Congress meet our al
probation as the best that under the circumstance
! could be adopted, and we pledge ourselves to civ
; them our hearty support Major Donelson spok
, at length in justification of his course in the la
, Convention and the general questions of the day
