PHILADELPHIA Sent. 10,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.
The Teiegraphic correspondent of the Evening
Buletine at Washington, says, that conformation
has been received here by telegraph from Charles
ton, stating that the people in that city were flu
rious at the passage OF the territorial bill. Upon
receipt OF the news, public demonstration was
got up and the flag of the Union was trodden under
foot. Meetings have boon called in a number of
districts of South Carolina to take action upon the
present state Of afairs.''
Whereupon the st Louis Intelligencer remarks,
'the trampling of the American flag under foot is
an indignty to which, we believe, the glorious
stars and stripes have before been sube cted.
There is no lover of liberty in all the globe that
does not love, from the bottom Of his heart, that
glorious ensign of Freedom, and that would not
defend it with his blood and life, if sary from
so foul an insult. What indignation would be
stirred up through all this wide republic, if the
citizens Of any foreign government should dare
perpetrate the outrage Of trampling our national
flag under foot! What willing and speedy ven-
geance would fly forth to wipe out the offence, and
snatch the honors of championship in doing the
holy duty of patriotism!
What shall be said, then, when we find men on
our own soil, who have gazed from childhood on
the glorious ensign Of liberty, who have seen it
triumphant ever every foe, every sea, and on
every land where it has been advanced-what
shall be said, when such men are the first 70,
shameful pre-eminence and immortality Of infa-
my y the FIRST to trample that flag under foot and
hide its glories In the dust. Such men have sold
their glorious birth-right as freemen, and in re-
nouncing their countsy's flag they prove them
selves insensible to its glory ard longer worthy
oflts protection.

last Spring. The further information has been re-

their way on foot. The horses nearly all persisted,

dividual, member of church, was informed on for
having cursed Esquire Rus sell, rich Spectator of
those days He was accordingly cited before JUS
tice of the peace, for the offence. AS matter of
form only the defendant was asked for his defence,
for it was presumahle for such hagitious act in
the eyes of Cod and man, no defence could posi-
bly, be made. His statement was follows:
esquire Russell has been buying up, during the
past season, the whole supply Of the country round,
Of wheat and corn. Icalled on him to buy three
bushels of gram for my family, who have been liy
ing on potatoes for some weeks past. The Squire
had none to SELL wheat was but six shillings, and
corn four shilings sxpence per bushel. In a few
weeks he expected wheat would be worth eight,
and corn six ShllingS. when he could spare me
some, he thought. cursed him on the SPOT for
God directed me to do so. sHe that withholdeth
the corn, the people shall curse him. This is my
defence"
We-the magistrate was puzzled. and after
thinking, and thinking, he dismiss ed the case, OBJ
serving that the author of the law against rrofane
swearing had permitted cursing in this particular
case.

PAuFIc RAiLRoAD.-Progress ofhe Surrey
We are indebted to friend for the following note
giving us the latest adyices from the Pacific Rail
road survey:
'sThe engineer corps of the Pacific Railroad have
for the past four weeks, been engaged line OF
survey running up the Maramec river, from Dough.
tvs ford to the mouth of the Bourbense, to which
point they arrived about the first of this MONTH
We are happy to state for the satisfaction of those
interested in the progress of the road survey es-
peciay for the benefit of stockholders, that the
gineers very happily disappointed in the feas
biity Of the route, finding no obstacles impede
ments OF note, getting nearly level grades all the
way. At one point they made cut OF tat the Great
Bend,) ofeighteen miles.
s'Ihis route is entirely practicable, oflight grades,
and, therefore of very easy construction-having
the material on every so yards Of road. The party
are now prosecuting their survey up the Bourbense
and are past the town of Union, Franklin county.
Could feasible route be obtained by crossing the
Bourbense at the mouth, thence on the divide be-
tween the waters of the Naramec and Bourbense, it
would cut OH some twenty miles of distance, and
at the same time open the vast mineral region of
the Maramec and Bourbense. But we wish not to
forestall the opinions at the engineers.''
