For the Southern Press.

Messrs. Editors:--The steamer "a tlantic' hsv.
ing been unheard from for now 80 days, the
friends Of those on board, feel no doubt very un.
easy; but do not think that there are, as yet,
sufficient grounds for unensiness. Should the AT
antic have broken her shaft walking beam, or
injured her cylinders or even burnt out her boil
ers, she would not be in dangerous position, as
her hull was in good order, and likely to contend
with any gale or sea which she would encounter.
Should any Of her machinery be disabled, it il
more than likely she would make for the
Azores; her passengers here could land and
take the Lisbon steamer, or proceed to Bermuda
by an English steamer. From the time she put
her helm-up for the Azores until reaching would
be at least twelve days, and it is not likely the
steamer could be heard from in less than 40 days.
The Atlantic could then proceed to Gbral-
tar, and send her engineer TO Touon or Mar
settles for anything she may want. Her next
course instead Of Gibraltar would be to run south
and take the "trade- winds;" she would then have
to at least $500 miles under sails, which dis
lance she could not perform in less than go day vs.
Add this to twelve, and three days for stopping
at the Azores, makes IS days. tits therefore moi
likely the Atlantic can reasonable be expected to
be heard from for at least IS days more, or that
there should be any good grounds for great un-
easlness. The southern passage from the coast
ofAfrca or Gibraltar is generally made in 48 days
in good sailing ships.

HAMMOND, Charleston. WALKER and JAMES
We nre much indebted to Gov. HAMMOND
for this able and splendid production. We
read it from beginning to end with the utmost
satisfaction and pleasure. 1t presents a very
acute, and thorough analysis of Mr.. CALHouS's
charactefand mind, and it required great reAec-

No man of modern or ancient times deserves 30

own, and after-tines the works Of more pro-
found and brilliant genius Mr.. CALHOUN die
not attain while living, popularity and powe
so great as he might have done, purely hecaus,
he possessed and exercised those qualities tina
rose above and beyond the men and the ideas

versal aspect. He who sees further than othe
men, and acts better, will always have power
full party opposed to him, Of the ignorant and
the bad. But in one respect Mr.. CALHOUN wa,
more fortunate than almost any of the Other
great names of history. He acquired the con
fidcnce of his own State in early life and pre-
served it unshaken through his long public
career to its close-a phenomenon as honorable

~ The Albany Argus gives the following
information as to the mode of elccting United
States Senator in New York; ~.
TIE MODE OF ELEcrISo United STATES sen.
AToRs.-Some misapprehension exists IN regard
to the mode of eIecting United States Senators.
The state of things now existing in the legisla-
ture has led to more or less discussion on the
subject at this time, in and out of the news
papers.
The appointment of United States Senators,
by the Constitution OF the United States. is de.
voved upon "thc legislatures" Of the respective
States. Hence, the law of this State regulating
the mode of appointment, prcscribcs that the
two branches Of the legislature shall act by
themselves, as in the enactment Of laws-each
house making its own nomination, without re-
ference to the action of the other
In the event Of a nomination being made by
both houses, by,a majority Of members present
in each--and in that event only, the two branches
meet in the sa ne chamber to compare their re-
spectivc nominations. If the nominations are
found to agree in the name Of the same person,
he is elected without further proceedngs-and
the Official announcement entered on the Jour
nails, constitutes the credentiAls Of the senator
elect. Ii the. nominations Of the two houses
shall be found TO disagree. the joint convention
determine the matter by balIot--a majority Of all
the votes cast being necessary t. choice.
This statement sufficiently illustrates the alb
surdity ofthe idea which, ii seems, is entertained
in some quarters, that there is something so
coercive aud stringent in the statute fixing the
day for the election, That it compes choice, in
the first place, by both houses, or joint meet
ing of the two, any wny The idea of meeting
ito compare nominations" implies that such
nominations have been previously made by the
two houses, and that there nrc results to be
compared. If there be any mode known to the
law Of compelling an agreement, by majority
in either house, by a regimen Of bread and water
or any other such resorts, it has never yet been
put in practice in this State.
Such AZ are curious in that branch of study,
will find some precedents on record, Of the usage
under the existing law, which leave no doubt
about this being the true view Of the question,
ii any question there be. Some ten years ago,
there was no election ola United States Senator.
by the Legislature Of this State. in conseq uence
of the inability Of one house to make nomina-
ton, by majority. Under these circumstances,
there could lie and there was no joint meeting
and the matter went over.
