The Committee of Thirteen.

This committee, as we have previously seen,
has been appointed, consisting of Clay as chair
man, Messrs. Cass, of Michigan, Dickinson, of N.
York, Phelps, of Vermont, Bright, of Indiana,
Webster, of Massachusetts,, and Cooper of Penn
sylvania-North; Mason, of Virginia, Mangum, of
North Carolina, Berrien of Georgia, Bell, of Ten
nessee, King, of Alabama, and Dodge, of Lous-
ana-Souh The features of the committee will
be seen at glance. The North are all men, with
one or two exceptions, that would be called mode
rate; but all with the exception of Dickinson,
have declared by word and act that they are
against the South on the important question. Eve
ry act of that committee will write the ruin Of the
South, and draw us further still into the vortex
from which we find it already so hard to escape
The committee was first moved by a Southern
man-has been voted for by the South, and oo-

posed by the North. The Committee has been
appointed: we will not say the South has been
successful in that act, unless we say she has hur-
red her own destruction. There is no doubt but
what that committee will recommend all that the
North have asked. The admission of California,
it makes no'earthly difference whether there be
territorial bills attached or not,-the admission of
California, embracing the entire Pacific coast, with
the non-slavery constitution, will be enough to
doom the South and that this must be the case,
so far as the Senate is concerned, there can be no
doubt. When the recommendations of that COM
mittee come back to the Senate, with its Webster
ism and Clayey features-with shadow for the
South, but matter for the North-the North will,
with one of their "liJeral concessions" agree to
abide by the decision of the committee; and if the
South shows any disposition to disagree, the
North will cry out, "What! your oUn commit
tee, and not abide by its decisions!" Its pro-
poser and many who voted for it, will be obliged
to concede; and thus weaken the already weak
forces of the South. We have not, nor have had
any liking for the committee When compromises
are all OH one side, there is little equality.
Since writing the above, the correspondence OF
the Baltimore Sun, which appears in another COL
u,nn, has come to hand, and proves our remarks
correct. Though this is not formal report from
the Committee, yet there is no doubt it will be.

OUR RAILROAD AND ITS NEW PRESl-

though nevertheless true saying, that "new

laws enacted by the new lords are always for
the best remaius to be seen. Since the com.
pletion of the Camden Branch Railroad, until
within few days ago, there has been regular
daily intercourse between Columbia and this
place: which was source of great conve.
uience to great many living all along the
line. as we'll as the travelling community OF
Columbia and Camden. For this accommo.
dation they were willing to pay, and for it they
did pay. But mark the change, in cost as well
as custom. A great fnancer has vacated his
seat in the dark palace of the Bank Of Charles

road Company. Occasionally he takes ride
up to Hamburg, Columbia, and Camden; at
first he was somewhat Blinded, as is usually the
case when suddenly brought i'll contact with
the light; but he has recovered from that, and
now discovers that the practice which has been
followed ever since the completion OF the road
in this particular section, does not pay, and
therefore must be discontinued. He seems to
think that the Railroad is chartered for the
sole purpose of making moncy, and not for mu.
tual accommodation or perhaps he imagines
such course (f it takes) will enable the d.
rectors to declare dividend which will 60 far to
enable the stockholders to pay up the balance
of twenty-five dollars OIL each share, which

aMourn for the Great and Good"

Yesterday the remains of Mr.. Calhoun were re-
ceved in Charleston. We have not been able to
get full reports. The honors which were paid
him OH the route, were such as have never before
been tendered-as should have been-to the great
est of the Sons of the Republic. History records
not the name of so pure patriot.-Fame never
wove her garands for nobler brow-Gory never
followed in the wake of so great spirit, nor were
the affections of a nation ever fixed upon so de-
serving an object.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, April Il, 1850.
The compromise committee, appointed on
Friday last, have already had meeting, and
seem to have agreed on the following:
lst. TO reporta bill for the admission Of Cali
fornia, and the establishment of territorial gov.
ernunents in Utah and New Mexico.
I'd. They report separate bill for the settle
ment of the Texas boundary, by liberal com.
pensation to that State.
Sd. 10 make such amendments to be law OF
1893 for the recovery of fugitive slaves, as shall
afford security to the South.
4th. TO abolish the slave trade in the District
of Columbia by extending the laws of Maryland
over it.
Little or no doubt is entertained but that all
these bills will pass both Houses by respectable
majorities.
In regard to the Texas boundary, it is not yet
decided whether that matter will come up in a
separate bill, or whether, as 4 kindred subject,
it will be included in the bill for the admission
of California and the establishment of tcrritori-
al governments in New Mexico and Utah.
Should separate bill be introduced, the COM
mttee, out of respect for the oldest Senator,
will probably recommend the passage of MIR.
Bentons bill.
TO morrow is fixed upon for an argument on
parliamentary usages between the oldcs Sena.

ate, MIR. Clay.) rather think that wisdom will
triumph over age though Mr.. Benton has ell
trcnclcd himself behind four quarto volumes
which he has committed to memory.
The treaty between the United States and
England i'll regard to the Nicaragua Canal, has
been signed and will, no doubt, be ratified. The
British AMBASSADOR sacrificed himself in the
. cable manner in the world, and yielded
! 'ly all those points without which he and

Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance.

This body are now holding their quarterly ses-
sion in this place, and are a fine looking body OF
men, calculated to make fine impression in favor
of the cold ,oater cause. Last night, they had
'lurn om." together with the Wateree Division
and Cadets of this town. They marched in pro-
cession from the Masonic Lodge, where they are
holding their session, to the Presbyterian Church,
where the audience was addressed by Messrs
Montague, Clayton, Duryee, and Grisham, in very
eloquent and effective speeches, in which the evils
of in,emperance were shown, the cause of temper
ance in general, and the Sons in particular, were
ably vindicated There is to be public meeting
tonight. Let all attend who wish to hear more
OH the subject.

The Plank Road.

We are glad to see that the experiment is being
made-that the work has commenced, and we
are shortly to have ocular demonstration (on
bility of Plank Road. The timbers are being
laid, commencing from the public square, and will
be carried down Main street, through Log Town,
to the brow of the hill, as we understand; dis
tance of several hundred yards. Our people will
have an opportunity to some extent, of seeing and
Judging for themselves. We opine their verdict
will be in favor of the scheme. We earnestly
hope this may not be all. We need Plank Road
to North Carolina; and we trust the enterprise
and ambition of our people will carry the work on,
until the whole arrangement is consummated-
until the Road is built. The interests of the town
of Camden, and the up country, demand 1.-THE
salvation of our interests, in business point o
view, inperatvely requires it. With plank road
to Camden, we may not care for Columbia, will
all her iron arms, graspng or trying to take in all
the up country, and cut US entirely off, Cheraw
will have no showing by the side of us; for with
out any secret, undsrhanded attempts on the part
of the citizens of Camden" the Plank Road will do
the work. With such road, we may very rea-
sonably expect large increase to the trade of our
town ;-without it the contrary must inevitably
be the result. No reasonable man can expect that
the trade or business of a town or city can i'll
crease when so many obstacles lie in the way.
How much of the time this season have our mar
ket roads been in such condition as to render
them next to impossible. Our farmers will hardly
be willing another season to undergo the fatigue
and expense of marketing their produce to Cam
den, if better ways are not made. We hope our
people may be induced by all the circumstances
around them to "mend their ways" and that
speedily. 1t is true, even if we do not have
Plank Road or roads, there may be few cotton
bags for our merchants to scramble over; but this
is not what we want. We want our streets filled
with wagons, and those wagons filled with pro-
ducc-that which will give life, spirit, and energy
TO our town.

THE WEATHER,
FROM JANUARY TO MAY.

BY LACoN1CUs.
Showing, lainlng, hailng, blowing,
And all things overaowing,
IT'S enough to make us fret,
When We see no chance Of ploughing
For at least fortnight yet.
Rattling, patteripg, Gathering, falling,
And winds forever squalling,
There's dismal time to come;
Sure it's hard on ev'ry calling,
That the hogs should die for corn.
Wheeling, freezing, sneezing, teasing,
And all with colds crying
Oh! the times are hard indeed .
Fresh deluges never ceasing,
Who can plant his collard seed?
Fasting, southing, westing, northing,
The winds are always putting;
Frantic, dashing wild about,
They're anon and ever shuffling
Up a drenching water spout.
Frowning, showering, lowering, towering,
The clouds are always soaring,
Full enough to break mill;
Keeping floods and rivers pouring
Out of ev'ry little rill.
But we'll cease our signing, crying,
At wayward storms and raining
Wild, confus'd, and flooding showers;
Soon we'll have no more repining,
But rejoice in SUMMER hours.

THE FLORIDA INDIANS--ARRIVAL
FROM INDIAN RIVER.

The steamer Monmouth. from Indian River.
Florida, arrived at our port on Saturday last
She brought number of passengers, including
several officers of the army, in Florida We
have not obtained much news by this arrival, but
sufficient to satisfy us, III connection with news
direct from Tampa, that the Indians have deter.
mined not to remove peaceably. Billy Bow Legs
has evacuated his town with his followers, and
with Sam Jones, has retired into the southern
extremity of the Everglades, where they are
perfectly secure from the operation of the ar.
my during the summer.
We will add an extract from o letter from a
gentleman in Florida, well acquainted with the
movements of the Indians and the army, since
the first outbreak. ~
"Gen. Twiggs is a first rate man-but the
Indians won't CO. They are making fun Of
the gentry sent to remove them. The Indians

Railroad 10 the Pacific.

A railroad to the Pacific has become a
subject Of universal and profound interest.
All feel that direct connection between our
great East and great West, for every spe-
cies Of transport, is required, and that it
must be made. But hop? is the question.
For years public attention, through The
Legislatures ef numerous States, in various
and imposing forms Of popular action, by
the press, and also Ivy the action Of com
mittees of Congress, has heen concentrating
on the plan proposed by Mr.. Asa Whitney
of New York, tiil at last il has received u

Roads and Canals in both houses OF the

These reports are able, lucid, strong Both
together displayed the entire argument, no.,
only for railroad directly across ibe conf
nen, to the Pacific, but for Mr.. Whiiney's :
plan, as in al! respects preferable to any
other. They do not hesitate to shy that
