S0uth Carolina,

A friend informed us this morning that the two
South Carolina senators, Messrs Butler and Rhett,
had indicated that it probable they would not
again resume their seats senators in the United
States Senate. We understand by this, that they
consider it probable that their State will quietly
withdraw from the Union before another session of
Congress shall meet. If this is correct the crisis
which Judge Dickinson alluded to the other day.
will be upon us before the Union party becomes eff
fcently organized. It's efforts must be useless in
any event, for it is pledged to counsel acquiesence
in the late compromise and it is known that rather
than acquesce, she is preparing to pass out of the
Union. This Union party is pedging its strength
to position that will surely work disruption of the
confederacy. Let the Union party men beware of
the fearful responsibility that they blindy invite.
We see no full account of the difficulty in the
House between Clingman and Stanley, of North
Carolina
Greedy states that Mr. Stanley, was in his seat
when Mr. Clngman came along and spoke to him.
Mr.. Stanley replied, when Mr.. Clngman sprang
over the desk on Stanley and crushed him to the
floor. Members instantly nterfered and separated
them.

merchant at that place, has failed for ranging
between $50, 600 and $50, 900. The loss falls
upon the people about Macon and is therefore
severely felt. Mr.. Jones has left.

1t Is with feelings of serious regret, that the
undersigned notice the aggressive spirit manifest
ed by the Northern States of this Union, towards
the slave interest of the South. We of the South
ern States have forborne and endeavored to concil
late until that forbearance and a concilia-
tory disposition exert no influence in securing us
in the enjoyment of rights We are there
fore, determined to take the matter in our own
hands, and each of us pledge ourselves to use all
MEANS that are in our power, to bring the citizens
of the Northern States to know, and feel, and ac-
knowledge, the influence and power, and necessi-
ty, of the existence and continuance of that insti
tuition, which forms the great bulk of the wealth of
the Southern States.
In view of the necessity of carrying out the
view above expressed, mutually pledge
selves, and agree with another, generally, to
buy all articles of Southern manufacture impor-
aton from foreign countries, in preference to sim
liar articles from the North, for the use of our
families, whenever we can produce them. And
hereafter, we will not trade with or buy from any
merchant, who does not buy his goods South of
Mason and Dixon's line, and is not, in our belief,
fully identified and connected in feeling and inter-
est with the South and we will not aid in the
support of any preacher, who is not truly Southern
In his sentiments, nor will employ any mechan-
ic, under any pretense whatever, unless we are
satisfied that he has the true interest of the South
at heart. .saE..s

GIVE have heard it said that the submission party
nominated ticket for the State Convention Tues
day night last. The ticket stands thus as we learn
CAPT w. BARKSDALE,
COL. T. C. BILLUPS,
JOS. B. COBB.
This is an excellent ticket and cannot be doubted
about as easily defeated any that could have been
presented by the subs
We ask as a favor that of our antiquarian
friends will furnish us with all the writings of Messrs
Cobb and Barksdale. The former gentleman has put
on record some opinions that amusing and the lat
is not whit behind his colleague in this, only it is
said that there is funny difference between them.
There seems to be some truth in the charge
that Mr.. Webster received gratuity from his
mercantile friends, at the time he took his present
post Some of the papers thinkit was by no means
improper. The Boston Atlas says that Mr.. Cob
den received six times the amount that Mr.. Web
ster has, and yet man has ever thought of
charging him with bribery and corruption.

OFThere has arisen in the circle of the submission
lists question of fearful Importance and that party
is famous for important issues, it may be feared that
other division will take place between them and that
new party will spring up here. It is open and
fearful question, involving interests enough to divide
party held together by just such bonds those hold
ing the subs together. 1t is estimated that there
about 10000 or $4,000 runaway slaves in the free
States and Canada and it is contended that there has
been but four FIVE captures made under the famous
compromise law of 1850, Now this is the question of
debate it is whether four five negroes have been
arrested under the new law, out of runaway popula-
ton of 10000 more Fearful question this, and
unless adjusted by compromise, the Union may be
eoparded. -

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al
low premium of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress-,
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cepiiol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition. that may restrain the free exercise Of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessarp in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount Of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according TO the relative
Importance and merit of each part adopted.
