A Good I,ettar

Gen. James Hamilton, a South Caronian
has addressed to the people of his State let;t r
in which he says that the time has not arrived
for South Carolina to secede that not a single
Southern State i'll the Union would Join her in
the movement that she would only disgust
her Southern neighbors by her unwise precipi-
tation, instead of commanding their sympathes
and their support and that it is peculiarly
unwisc at the very moment when the public
sentiment of the North, brought up bv its
most distinguished sons, is coming to the sup
port of southern rights. The great battle for
the security Of slavery at the South is to be
fought at the North and that if Gov. Seward
and Mr. Van Buren,, with the free sellers and
abolitonists. should obtain a victory over
President Fillmore, Clay, Webster. Cass and
buchanan, ard elect their President, the crisis
will be upon them in two years, in the form of
a repeal of the fugitive slave bill and the abo-
liton Of slavery in the District of Columbia
that this would make up an issue on which the
whole South will be united; that old Virginia
must then be in the lead or be eterlally dis
then be at an end or if, on the other hand,
the friends OF the constitutional rights of the
South should triumph, our rights and interests
will be secure and fresh lease will be given
to Union thrice renovated and blessed. John
C. Calhoun, were he now living. Mr.. Hamilton
thinks, would tell them to forbear, his sanguine
calculations having been defeated that South
Carolina must wait for the other States to act,
and that in an interest common to the whole
South, the whole South must move in harmo-
ny and resistance tosether-and that this time
had not come.
Such an able letter will undoubtedly pro-
duce good effect The people of South Car
lima, from having been SO long accustomed to
follow John C. Calhoun, in his wild vagaries
about slavery. find themselves in a position
which they are beginning to discover. is as i'm
polite and dangerous as their old notification
ground. They must soon retrace their steps.

Slavery Agitation in Congress.


Indications from Washington, we are happy
to state, foreshadow the complete and thorough
bursting up" of the slavery bubble. which
had recently become SO distended as to threat
en- in,erminable difficulty. In the House. the
first attempt to renew The agitation resulted in
a complete failure and may be considered as
indicative Of the prevalent feeling pervading
that branch in relation to the further legisla-
ton in Congress of the perplexing question.
The following, from the New York Courier, is
descriptive of the EVENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9th. The first attempt
at agitation was made to-day, and most sig
nally failed. Mr.. J. c. Giddings was the
champion selected to assail the Fugitive Slave
Law, and to unfold the bloody banner upon
the usual motion to refer the Presidents Mes
sage, and he acquitted himself with his accus-
toned etfronterv. Neither the cant of free
DOM, nor the stale cry of "human rights,
excited the pugnacious spirit of any portion of
the chamber. The charlatan was allowed to
fume and fret his hour and then to sink into
insignifcance. There was never a more COM
plete and humiliating failure, nor one in which
the chief actor seemed to realize so sensibly,
before the finale, the fullness of his own dis
cumfture.
SO marked was the sense of disregard exhib-
tied on all sides to the prepared ebullition,
that lis author became evidently deprt ssed be-
fore he hal finished his intended exordium,
and did not recover to the period of his con-
clusion He dragged TIN Tough every line, and
although at first some attention was attracted,
from the expectation of novelty on the fulmi-
nation, the members gradually dropped off un-
til the area was desolate, and the echoes only
seemed to compose the attentive portion of the
audience. SO little impression did this effort
make. that no attempt was made to obtain the
floor for reply and motion to close debate in
simultaneously prevailed, almost without a dis
scnting voice. The whole experiment was
stllborn. and not one approving word was
heard in any part OF the House.
This result we confidently believe, will meet
the approval of the people. The slavery ques-
ton, we have before commended, has been too
long a subject of wrangle and contention in
our national councils, and we hail this move
ment as the most effectual quietus that can be
applied.
In the senate too, there are signs of peace
The benefit of agitation, the most aspiring men
even, are beginning 10 DOUBT. Inc w ashlnS-
ton correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial says "Mr Seward has arrived and propos-
es peace"-tha he will meet his opponents
half way to restore peacc-to the whig party
and that he and the great defender of the
Constitution" are not in fact so far apart as
they have been commonly supposed"
We regard all this as evidence that public
opinion, throughout the country, is settling
down into a more healthy condition, and that
the recent attempts of agitators to make capt.
tai by endeavoring to render odous the fus-
live slave law. viewed in their proper light,
and consequently reprobated.

A CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.

Ga Saturday morning last, the village of
Haydenville was startled BY the cry "a child
is burning at the school house, and upon the
villagers rushing 10 the building, the language
of the cry was found to be terribly realized
Sarah A. LOOMS, daughter OF Luther LOOMS,
a little girl of ten years, had arrived at the
school house early, and gone into the upper
room to warm her feet. She is supposed To
have opened the stove door, and the skirts of
her dress TO have taken fire from a spark. She
then ran down stairs to her seat, where two or
three boys, among whom was her brother, found
her with her clothes in perfect flame. They
carried her from the room, and Invested her of
her clothing, as quickly as possible, but the
skin OF the little sufferer had been literally baked
10 hardness, III almost every part, except her
feet. One arm was nearly burnt off, The
smell of the burnt integument was perceptible
for wide distance around the house. She
made but little noise, probably for the reason
that she had inhaled the flame. No application
affected her, and her only complaint was,
I'm tired. She retained her reason for three
or four hours, and breathed more and more
feebly, until about six hours after the accident,
when she expired.
Her brother burnt bis hands severely in at
tempting TO extingulsh the fire, and great praise
is due 10 the gallant and courageous boy, and
the other two lads who assisted him, for their
prompt and energetic measures in her behalf
In the old school house, near the same spot, a
bout twelve years ago, a little girl met with
similar fate. About two wears ago, an old la
bv was burnt 10 death in the villLge.-Spring-

AN EXTENSIVE SwINDLISG OPERATIONS
On Monday morning last, gentleman BY the
name of Samuel Oliver arrived in this city,
from Milford, Mass, and proceeded to the 10Th
ward station house. where, in conversation with
Captain Stevenson, he related the particulars Of
swlndling operation that had been carried cut
upon an extensive scale by shrewd fellow
named John p. Sampsell. who formerly resided
at the above place, and fraudulently obtained
about $4,000 worth of goods of various descrp-
tons, which he subsequently mortgased 10 Mr.
Oliver, for the payment of about $4,000, Dor
rowed money, and then secretly brought the
goods to this city, and stored them at a boarding
no Use IN 59th street, between Sth and 9th ave
nues, where, after searching several hours, they
were found by Captain Stevenson aud his men.
The accused was also arrested, and. together
with the property, was conveyed to Worcester,
Mass, BY Capt. 5. and Mr.. Oliver Upon
reaching that city, the affair was placed in the
hands OF the Mayor, who had been authorised
to take charge of tie case.-N. Y. Courier &

The IIumsarians in Iowa.

We learn 10y letter from Gov. Ujhazay
10 the editor of ST. Louis Anzeiger DIES
Wrsiens that the Hungarian Coloni>ts had
arrived at their destination in Iowa, in the
beginning of August, and have commenced
buldinS the necessary houses aud making
preparations for considerable agricultural
operations next year. The place they have
chosen is IN Decatur County, on Thomson,

clear aud lovely stream OF moderate size,
flowing over bed OF sand and gravel, with
frequent rapids and falls, afiordng Abundant
water power. The climate is excellent and
the soil fertile. the land has not yet been
surveyed for sale, aad these noble Colonists
are consequently squalers. We trust they
will not be SO long after the opening of Con-

THE YOUNG GIAsr.-We had the pleasure
of an introduction this morning to Mr. Angus
McCaskill, a Scotch gentleman, 10 years of
age, and known as 1.-THE young giant" He is
beardless youth, IS l-2 inches In height, well
proportioned, and bids fair to be still higher up
IN the world. AT the aye of seven years, he
was rather below the usual height of boys of
that age, but from about that period he COM
menced increasing in stature, and is still pro-
crossing upward. He appears to be quite in
tellisent and of very cheerful disposition. He
was visited this morning by DR. Mattson, who
tested the capacity ofhls lungs, and ascertalned
by actual measurement that at a single breath
he inhaled four hundred and eighty cubic
inches of air, being about two hundred more
than person of ordinary stature is capabl of
inhaling at one timc.-Boston Journal

Postage of Newspapers.

In relation to this subject, the n. York Tri-
bune makes the following suggestions, which
are well worthy of attention. They are the
best, it seems to us, that have ever been ad-
vanced, and we should be glad 10 see the plan
that they have proposed adopted. If not per-
feet, it is certainly very great improvement
upon the present unequal and unjust system
1t is not just and equal to charge as much
for carrying small newspaper twenty miles as
for carrying large one two thousand miles,
One cent per printed sheet, weighing not more
than two ounces when mailed, is probably 4
very fair rate for country newspapers-that is,
for all periodicals conveyed less than 40 miles.
We think ten cents per annum as the postage OF
a weekly, twenty for semi-weekly, thirty for
trl-weekly, and sixty for daily-to be paid
for full year in advance-would be fair rates
for all journals conveyed not more than forty
miles from their respective places of publica-
ton. We believe such rates would be most
advantageous, yet but justly so, to the country
press, which is now unduly crowded by the
city journals. The weekly Tribune, for in
stance, now pays seventy-eight cents in Michi-
gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, &C., while the
journals printed In the very counties where Ia
ken, pay ftty-two; this is too little difference ;
but 10 reduce ours TO ffty-two and leave the To-
cal journals subject 10 the same rate, would
asgravate the injustice. One cent per copy,
payable quarterly in advance, for every news
paper sent more than forty miles, and ten cents
per year, payable annually in advance, for ev-
cry weekly transmitted less than forty miles,
with corresponding rates for papers printed
oflener than once week, would be just about
riuht

BABES IN THE Snow. A correspondent of
the Boston Transcript narrates singular in
cident which happened in the village of Pied
mont, n. H., last week. Two little children,
one five and the other three years of age,
strayed from home. Not returning at dark, a
general search throughout the night was made
by the people of the village. In the morning,
the children were discovered in an open field,
lying upon the frozen ground, and locked in
each others arms-one sleeping soundly, and
the other awake. Although the night was a
severe one, the little ones have shown. as vet.
no i'll effects from the exposure. 1t is wonder
full how two such little children could pass a
winters night upon the frozen ground, with

q To CORRESPONDENTS. We have on
hand several interesting communications which
we are obliged TO defer until next week,
A ''ctizen'' is amused at the submission Of
the wings of Bath in view of the late appoint
ment of Postmaster, and AYERS that it was con-
trary TO the wishes of thrce-fourths of the peo-
pie of Bath-that this appointment was made
through the lone man power,' SC.
Now it may or may not be true that three
fonrths of the trhigs were opposed to the ap-
pointment; but as Mr. Eaton was to be re-
moved, we presume the democrats were not
consulted in the matter at all, and have no
choice between the applicants. We are will
ling they shonld settle these affairs between
themselves, and therefore decline publishing
the communication. Of this, however, we feel
sure, hreo-tourths of the citizens of Bath were
opposed 10 the removal of the late worthy oc-
cupant of that office, who for the last seven
teen years has performed the duties appertain-
ing to it, to the satisfaction of the entire com
munity.
