AMERICANS IN VIENsA.-A late letter from
Vienna in the Boston -Atlas contains the following
information:
'The number Of Americans passing through vi
emma at present ia very considerable. At a single
hotel one day last week, nine Americans arrived.
One American gentleman, few days ago, wishing
to pass through Hungary, was told by the chief Of
police that the orders Of the government were to
allow no Americans or Englishmen to go to Hun
gary. AS our countryman, however, urged the
matter, wishing TO know what particular objec-
lions there could be against him, Che was, by the
letters ofintroduction, and other proofs of respcc
liability, ii then said that an exception would
be made in his case, and no accordingly received
hrs passport rise for Hungary, though told that he
would probably meet with difficulty from the po-
lice there. Whether this is not matter claiming
the attention of our Government, considering the
great increase of travel by Americana in this part
OF Europe which is likely to take place hereafter.
Is question that the part of community who
ever expect to travel, will be best able to decide"

Our South Carolina Correspondence.

Politics in South Carolina-The L. gt,La,urs. b.
In making my annual visit to the South this
winter, have spent few days in this place during
the session of the Legislature. II is amazing 70
see how accurately you have understood South Ca
rolina politics, which are not like politics any
whore else In fact, the HERALD is the only paper
which has ever fairly reflected the public opinion
Of all parts of mighty country, without any at
tempt at distortion.
The policy of South Carolina is undergoing q
gradual but certain change. She is no longer
going to remain mere sullen sp ecsator Of matters
of general interest to the country 1t is true she
has lost confidence in the Union, and it may take
long time for her to regain it, but it is very GER
tain her people have come to the conclusion that
while she is in the Union, she must perform ber
duties to it. The cooperation men have the people
on their side, although the secessions.s hold The
government. But this will be changed at the cleo
tions next summer The se e,essionists have not yet
abandoned their wild notions, and will make
desperate efforts to retain powor: 1t will be in
vain; The people are with the other party Who,
in addition, have the talent of the State almost
exclusively on their side. was struck with The
fact that in the House, every man who impressed
me at all in debate, was opposed to secession.
Since ! have been here | could have sen: you
of local interest. The State House is q rickety
sort OF patched,up affair; but they are going 10
build q new and handsome one. The Representa-
tive Hall is large and well lit but is spoiled py .he
Speakers desk, which is made after the model Of
Florence's bar, but without its elegance, for i. is
not Of marble, but Of wood, painted white. IL
would be better in an oyster house than q
legislative hall. The Speaker, Mr.. James
simmons, is stout old gentleman, with q
shining bald head and benevolent countenapce.
The President of the Senate is the model Of pre-
siding ofcer. His name is Robert Aston. and he
has served long time in the body over which he
presides. Both in fern and substance he is admi-
Table His manner Is truly gentlemanly and dig
nifed, and he has great despatch of business.
Owing TO his rapidity and accuracy, the Senate Ia
always ahead Of the House, which lags sadly in is
business-very often from too much formslity
have been very much pleased with the people
about heres They are fne set Of fellows-sociai
and high spirited They are wrong headed in poll
tics but must say they are honest in their errors
never in all my travels, in any part Of our country,
quicker, or would hold it longer, than these same
fiery Carolinians. COLLECTOR.
