HOMESTEAD ExEMPTIoN.-We are gratifed to
notice that Mr.. Tucker, of Spartanburg, con-
templates the introduction Of bill to increase
the amount of property exempt from levy and
sale. This is a step towards n perfect home
stead exemption lava law which has been
adopted in number of States, and which will
doubtless prove salutary one for the interests
of the localities in which it may be adopted.
Let mans home be iualienable except by
his own free will, and he will have an addi-
tional tie to bind him and his children to the
soil. Let the Industrious farmer know that the
roof which covers his family and the few acres
that support them are exempt from the conse
quenccs Of the reyerses he may meet, and you
give him fresh energy in his daily toil--you
give him additional motives to beautify his
home and improve his farm. Such a law gives
no license to dleness, for his small tract of land
will not yield without cultivation, and he will
be unable to maintain himself or his family
without he so cultivates it. Such law can
give no protection to fraud, for it will affect no
existing contracts; and all future ones will be
made with full knowledge on the part of the
creditor that the homestead Of the farmer af-
fords him no security.
A strong tendency of such law will be to in
crease the number Of landholders, and recent
investigations in Europe have demonstrated that
ohIh ~ SOuuitiOh VI lhibSo uh
community is the best |; that this class of citi-
zens, moderate and small landholders, give
strength and vigor to agricultural pursuits, and
succeed in bringing about the highest state Of
improvement of the soil.
But the most beneficial tendency, we think,
of such measure would be to check the emf
grafton of that class of farmers, for whose pro-
lection ii is designed With a house and small
farm guaranteed to him, the desire to 90 in
search of new home and fresh lands will be
greatly diminished, and the homestead would
be cherished to an extent we know nothing Of
in this section. Stability would be given to the
increase of our population, and we would begin
to approximate in this respect to the legitimate
ratio Of increase. 1t would tend to keep South
Carolinians at home, to improve Carolina, and
develop her resources and without some such
policy we must rctrograde We hope that the
step proposed will meet with the favorable con-
sderation Of the Legislature.

A Serenade.

BY RICHARD HENRY sroDDARD.
The moon is muffied in a cloud
That folds the lovers star,
But still beneath thy balcony
l touch my soft guitar.
Ifthou art waking, Lady dear,
The fairest in the land,
Unbar thy wreathed lattice now,
And wave thy snowy hand.
She hears me not her spirit lies
In frances mute and deep;
But music turns the golden key
Within the gate of sleep!
Then let her sleep, and if / fail
To set her spirit free,
My song will mingle in her dream,
And she will dream of mel

| 100000 Of their paper. But unhappily what
they left out, unredeemed, was an amount much
larger than even this prodigious sum. How
much Of the Continental money died in the
hands of its holders has never been ascertained
with any exactness. A computation made by
the Treasury Department few years ago,
made the whole amount issued S242, 900, 900.
Other estimates carry it to two hundred millions
higher. Congress, in 1879, reported what was
then out at about $l60 ,000, 600, and subse-
quently issued two hundred millions more, be-
sides two millions which they exchanged for old
issues, at a rate Of one for forty, or two mill
lions for eighty millions. A careful estimate
makes the gross issues over four hundred mil
lions The lowest estimate we have ever seen
among writer's on this subject of the sum out
in 17S0-'S1, when the bills ceased to circulate
as currency, is two hundred millions From
1870 to 1871, great amounts were redeemed,
after fashion, by the Government in certif-
Gates of one for forty, and one for eighty, and
one for one hundred dollars; and these ceptif-
Gates afterwards fell to very low rates. But
besides the sums absorbed and withdrawn in
this way-almost total loss on the immense
amount-we believe the Treasury records est-

WASHINGTON: TUESDAY AFTERNOON DECEMBER q 1851
The Trsason Caae.

The testimony before the court yesterday af-
ternoon, in the case Of Hanaway, was to the
effect that meeting had been held in the
neighborhood Of Christians by the Ant. Slavery
Society last Spring, at which the Fugitive Slave
Law was discussed, but the witnesses could not
tell whether IIanaway was there or not John
Roberts, negro boy, testified to seeing Jos.
Scarlet, one of the white prisoners, come to his
fathers house about sunrise on the morning Of
the murder, on horseback. Scarlet told him
there were kidnappers at Parker's house, and
requested him to inform the colored people.
Witness got gun, had it loaded, and went to
the scene Of action.
Samuel Hanson, negro boy, testified to see
ing Hanaway on the battle ground Gas he termed
it) among the negroes. Witness was informed
by Geo. Powal, white man, that kidnappers
were at Parker's house. He went up there,
but did not arrive till the fight was over. He
heard much firing as he approached and saw
the negroes armed, saw old Mr.. Gorsuch lying
on the ground, but could not say whether he
was dead or not.
Jacob Woods, negro, testified to seeing Ham
away in the lane leading to Parker's house,
apparently talking to officer Kline. Was told
by one Of the white persons named Lewis that
kidnappers were at Parker's house-saw and
heard the firing, became frightened and ran
away to the barn. The clothing of old Mr.
Gorsuch, the vest of Dickerson Gorsuch and
DR.. Pearce, were brought into court during the
evidence, and were all much perforated as
though by bullets and knives.
The testimony for the United States here
closed.
Theodore Cuyler was to open this morning
for the defence. .

of October, 1849. The verdict was, for Burr
and wife, 81 900 each; for Mrs. Law, $8, 500
We always record these cases with pleasure
not, by any means, because we are inimical to
the interests of railroad companies, but because
we are convinced that the public security will
be promoted by constantly holding these com
panies and their agents to accountability before
the legal tribunals of the country and before
the public opinion.
