there, 10 w.t. Hon. J. A. Woodward, Hon John
i. Carew, Judge Porter. of the Evenings News,
Col. Ghesnut, Of Camden, Mr.. Crawley, Of Va,
with many others Of smaller pretensions. All Of
these gentlemen being toasted and called upon,
made splendid stirring speeches, also Mr.. ]. Reed
made one Of the right kind-the. occasion was an
interesting and pleasant one.
The Hotels are flledto overflowiig, but theory
is still they come-where the people will all find
room is hard to tell but this is wonderful age
in which we live, and We have long since learned
that some things can be done as we'll as others.
On Saturday last Gen. W. ). Hanna, of Chester
field was elected Solicitor Of the Eastern Circuit,
in place Of the lamented McIver; also, our old
friend and excellent Solicitor, Col. Simeon Fair,
was reelected without opposition for the Middle
Circuit We believe Mr.. Rhett is the most promj'
inent man at present for United States Senator if
Mr. Barnwe!l does not consent to serve. In re-.
gard to the Governors election 1t is hard to tell
who will be chosen by the legislature; perhaps
Governor COL Dawkins and Gen. Whitner will
be voted for to fill the vacancy on the Law Bench.
w. T. DeSaussure and F. H. Wardlaw, Esq'rs.
are candidates for the Chancellorshp. Inregsrd
to all these elections with many Of smaller con-
sequence, We may say there is no telling who will
be Governor, until the votes are counted. The
Legislature is very uncertain place for man to
be Candidate. Wehowever know some Candi-
dates who ,co1n be elected.
Vannchis exhibition of the Wax Figures ofGen.
Scott in military costume, Hon. J. G. Calhoun de-
liyering his last speech, and President Taylor at
his writing table-also Mr.. Clay and Daniel Web
ser, with Gen Taylor, and the closing melancholy
scene of the death bed of Mr. Calhoun, are attract
ing considerable attention; the last scene is truly
sad and subl!me-to look upon and contemplate
the sage, the immortal Calhoun, whose restless
eye and unbent spirit while living is now quench-
ed by the tyrant death, but he is immortal an i'm
mortality of all others the most to be envied-death
cannot conquer that 49, sa@

Judge Butler and Mr.. Woodward will leave on
Monday for Washington. The proposition was
made in the House by Ex-Speaker Middleton, not
to elect a Senator to fill Mr. Cahoun's place, and
to request our Representatives MOTTO go back to
Washington, bpt this will not be- carried-in re-
gard to the policy CT which We have nothing to

The Greenviile Rail Road has been finished
about thirty miles, and the Charlotte Road nearly

Columbia is a. beautiful place, and presents
lively and animated appearance There is not
town in the Union better situatedin regard to the
means of instructing the young and the compile
ton of finished education. The South Caro-
naCollege one Of the best III the United States,
and DR.. Marks institute for young Ladies has
deserved and high reputation. Tie Schools for
the primary branches are equal to any found in
our country.

4 line, Mr.. Journal, is all can drop You
now. You are no doubt informed Of the Legis.
lative proceedings from the daily papers,
There are some things however, not noticed in
them. You will sec. that resolutions OF tho
warmestnature have been already offered. They
would, without. a dissenting voice, be adopted,
were it not that a different course ofpolicy is
desired, viz: to wait yet . while, for a co-movo
with the other States, but in the result of their
backwardness, the banner of South Carolina
