paid for when Mr. c. is elected, if that number
can be found to oppose him.
Mr.. Caldwell has no opposition in the second
district. lie is staunch Whg but as he can
do no great deal Of harm, we do NOT think it
necessary to cry our eyes out if he should lie
elected without opposition.

Next it is conjectured that the government

under it's operation the commerce of Charleston

nial of the right Of State to wi hdraw from the
Union, and as such we must meet it. Now, |
admit that secession may ard will probably in
volve serious sacrifices, and that these will fall
most heavily on our cherished city. But shall
this deter us! Our fathers took counsel neither
of their fears nor their weakness. If we shrink
from the sacrifice now, will the future find M
willing to incur it? regret that my friend has
reduced this great question Of liberty and right
to the standard of dollars md cents. No peo-
pie who measure their principles by the money
standard can long preserve their liberties. If
commerce can only flourish at the expense Of
those stern and manly virtues which alone
qualify people for selfgovernment, then let it

ledge, appeals to the commercial Fears of the

This is the name Of new dance, in
troduced this season at the fashionable
watering-places as an improvement on
the Polka or the Schotlische. II is de-
scribed as follows by an exchange:
alt is danced by four persons-two
ladies and two gentlemen. The ladies'
are dressed in frock reaching To the
knee. and the contlnuances are Of stock
met, fitting as close as possible to the
skin. One lady wears white stocking
and a black stocking: the other wears
one green and one red stocking. The
gentlemen are dressed in shorts, and
their stockings are Of pink and purple
colors. The dance begins by the gen
llemen turning somersets over the laties,
after which the ladies turn somersets
over the gentlemen; and then the whole
party turn somersets over each other rap
idly, promiscously, and miscellaneous
ly. During this last named movement,
the performers, with their variegated cos
tunes, present all the changes Of the ka.
leidescope. Those Who have seen this
dance admire II isgrestly.''

The French sarans NJ. M. Mala-
quit, Durocher, and Sarzeaud, announce
that they have detected in the waters of
the ocean the presence Of copper, lead,
and silver. The water examined ap-
pears to have been taken some leagues
off the cost of St. Malo, and the fuc0i-
dal plants of that district are also found
TO contain silver. The F. serratus and
the F. ceramoidts yielded ashes con-
tanning l-l000OOth, while the water of
the sea contained but little more than l.
l0O0O0000th. They state also tha:
they find silver in sea salt, in ordinary
muriahc acid, and in the soda of com
merce; and that they have examined the
rock.salt Of Lorraine, in which also,
they discover this metal. Beyond
this pursuing their researches on terres-
trial plants, they have obtained such in
dications as leave no doubt of the exis-
,ence of silver in vegetable tissues.
Lead is said to be always found in, the
ashes Of marine plants, usually about an
ls-l00O0Oth part--and invariably
trace Of copper. Should these results
be confirmed by further examination, we
shall have advanced considerably to-
wards a knowledge of the sphenomena

practical farmer knows Them better

That there is a growing feeling on the
subject is proved by the numerous at
tempts now making in various parts of
the county to connect sales Of stock and
implements with the county and other
fairs. This is an excellant way of max
ing these fairs still more important and
more popular than they have ever been.

'Tis well to have merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in merry heart,
Whate'er the world may say!
Philosophy may lift its head.
And find out many flaw,
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with a straw!
If life but brings us happiness
II brings us, we are tod,
What's hard to buy; though rich ones try,
With all their heaps Of gold!
Then laugh away-let Others say
Whate'er they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly say
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in merry laugh,
A beauty moral too
1t shows the heart an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due,
And lent share of what's to spare,
Despite of wisdoms's fears,
And made the check less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may slmoudits in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin,
Itfinds spark to cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within!
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will of mir h,
Who laughs the most may truly boast,
He's got the wealth of earth!
