A LUCKY Mantle barkeeper Of the steam
err Webster, lately destroyed by fire, who was
reported drowned, was found on pile of drift
wood and picked up with, as he supposed, only
the clothes on his back He wns unable to swim
but preferring the water to fire, he jumped over
board, and fortunately hoated to the drift wood.
After reaching New Orleans, as we learn from
the Picayune, he found himself the fortunate
holder of the ticket which drew the $4,000
prize in the Havana lottery.

ADDRESS TO THE PEoPLE OF SoUrH CAROLINA.
We publish from the Richmond Examiner
an address from citizen of Virginia to the peo-
pie of South Carolina. II will be seen that the
action Of the late Charleston convention has
been quite in accordance with the suggestions
of this writer. For our own part, we had hoped
that the State would act less preciptately than
now seems to be her fixed determination. We
are yet to be convinced that she win act wisely
in closing her ears to the counses of Cheeves
and Butler and Barnwell. But whatever may
be her action, we speak for ourselves and for
our readers, when we say that in her contest
against the Abolitonists, and in her endeavors
to defeat their fell purposes our sympathies are
in no wise and in no part with her enemies and
ours Aud. should these enemies dare with hos
tile step to tread her soil, many Southern heart
will thank Corwin for his words, and pray that
she may welcome her foes with bloody hands
and hospitabe graves Savannah Georgian.
