that he voted in company with Mr.. SoULE,

South Carolina.

The Southern Rights Association of this
State generally as we learn from the Mercury,
have made selection of delegates for the Con
vention proposed to be held in Charleston in
May next. The association for the Charleston
parishes will meet on the first Monday in
April, when it will select its delegates to the
proposed Convention. At this meeting, also,
various committees will report, and it is sx-
pected that Judge BUTLER, Mr.. RHErr, and
Mr.. CHEvEs will be present
The Mercury contains a long letter from Col.
Isaac w. HAYNE, in reply to an article which
appeared in the first number of the new Green
vile paper, in regard to the alleged apathy OF
the people of South Carolina in the election OF
members of the Convention. 1t is well-writ-
ten letter, and, saving one or two incorporate
and offensive expressions, it is unobjectionable
in its manner, though we of course cannot
commend its doctrines. As it furnishes an i'm
portant index to the feeling at this time pre-
vailing in SOUTH CAROLINA, we shall publish
the letter entire in our paper of tomorrow

From THE CAPE OF COOP HorE.-The barque
Hamilton arrived at Boston on Friday, from the
Cape of Good Hope, and brings forty days later in
telligcncc from that quarter.
The Kafir chiefs have again revoltcd against
the English authorities and it was feared, at the
latest accounts, that the Hottentots were also
wavcring in their loyalty. From last December
the war has been continued between the rebels and
their native and English allies, in which the for
mer were always victorious when they had an open
field fight. Accounts daily received of muir
ders of farmers in all quarters
Sir Harry Smith, tho English governor, was for
warding lcvies to the scene of war, and the colo
nsts aiding him, believing that in prompt
suppression Of the rebellion their only safety.
II was thought that the governor would soon be at
the head of ten thousand men to march against the
enemy.
On the 2lst January the Kafirs, numbering
twenty thousand strong, attacked the colonists
Fort Hare, and were repulsed with the loss of
one thousand killed. On the Sd Of January a
strong force of Kaffirs attacked Fort White, and
they dispersed with the loss of twenty killed.
On the morning of the It'll of january the rebel
chief Hermanus, with his horde of Kaffirs and Hot
tentos, attacked Fort Beaufort and were rcpulscd.
The chief, his son, and number Of his people were
killed.

The National Hall.

We learn, is to be fitted up for the ensuing
season In the most improved modern style fol
dramatic and other entertainments. The hal
will be greatly enlarged beyond its origina
limits OF seventy-five feet by one hundred and
fifty feet, to eighty eight feet by one hundred
and ffty-nine feet, having, in addition, a side
building of twenty-four feet by ffty-nine feet
two stories high, for dressing rooms, SC.
The early attention of lessees is called to this
matter, as it will be easier to conform to theil
wishes in the arrangements to be made, than
to alter them after being completed. 1t is com
putcd the building will readily accommodate
two thousand persons.

BoREs.-A very vcxatious and affective class of
people are bores. The trouble is, there is dodg
ing 'em. One may protect his house against burg
lars his purse against pckpockets, his ship against
fire or the fury Of the waves; but how shalt man
protect himself against bores? Their kinds are
various; but they are all ntolerablc alike-except
only the iil-natured bore, whom you are all al
| lowed to diamiss without ceremony. He puts you
| out of temper, and you put him of-doors. The
author of the ssFable for Critics" has attempted to
classify them. He says:
81 divide bores myself in the manner of rifles
Into smooth bores and screto- bores, regardless Of
trihes."
The former class is certainly much the worst Your
good tured, pod-augcr bore, is tedious and ex-
circulating beyond all human endurance. You tell
him you 'busy-terribly busy" and he sex
cuses you-but he don't 60 You 'sorry to
neglect him"--and he takes this hint kndly-but
he don't take his leave! You assure him that 'any
other time you shall be quite happy" &c.-but he
wants to make you happy nolo! You leave your
Office five minutes prctcnce of business abroad
and he awaits your return If his cap were per-
cussion, you might strike him over the head, and
he ,oouldn't go o61-Boston Post.

We arc happy TO hear, in letters from Berlin,
that our new minister to that court, Hon. D. ID.
BARNARD, is enjoying the confidence of the Prus.
sian authorities, and increasing the respect enter
tanned for our nation among tho German powers.
His gentlemanly character and knowledge Of what
is due in courtesy to Americans abroad, have en-
dcared him much to all countrymen that arc
sojourners in Berlin, and they all feel, in the in
formation which he is rapidly acquiring of German
politics, that he will be useful minister and a
credit to our country. They speak, too, in the
highest TERMS Of the attention to the interests of our
nation which the secretary of legation, THEODORE
s. FAY, displays. He is intimately acquainted with
the German language and with German politics,
and has uncommon tact and shrewdncss in
the management of business His long residence
abroad while it has increased his knowledge of our
foreign relations, has not diminished in the least
his attachment to our democratic principles.

No attention is required the part of the owners
to secure the delivery Of the baggage. They pro-

THE REPUBLIC.
From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, March 20.
Election Of United states Scnator.

From the Buffalo Commercial Adpertiser, March 20.
Election Of United states Scnator.
The telegraph announced yesterday that at two
O'Clock yesterday morning HAMILTON FISH was, in
joint meeting Of both Houses Of the legislature
elected Senator in Congress for the ensuing six
years. Up to the present time OF writing we
have received full report OF the very protracted
sitting that ended with the election, nor Is such
report very essential. The result, we presume,
will give very general satisfaction. Governor
FISH is amablc, cultivated man, possesses good
faculties, has acquitted himself well in the various
high and responsible offices he has held, and we
have no doubt will prove capable, thoroughly
Wing and conservative Senator. The vote of one
man, MIR. Bcckman, defeated his election in the
former trial at the time prescribed by law. No
man who knows Mr.. Beekman, the independence
Of his position and character, his uprightness and
conscientious devotion to principle, and his init
mate personal relations with Governor FISH, can
doubt that, in opposing that gentleman, he was
influenced wholly by his own convictions OF right,
independent of any sinister or cxtrancous sugges
tions. Yet this action Of his, which, msjudged as
we considered it, VIC will commend for its exhibit
ton of rare vrtue-manIy independence-was
made by the Albany Journa! and its kindred
presses the prctext for opening the loodgates OF
calumny, not only of Mr.. Bcekman, but Of the
PRESIDENT ana all who were considered hl5 rlenus.
The ferocity with which they have been assailcd
is without parallel. They were charged with
conspiracy, with being guilty OF virtual suborna-
ton of perjury, moral treason, and other multi
tudinous offences scarcely less iagitious. In the
ierceness of these assaults all the rules of ord-
nary political warfare were violated, and rancor-
| Gus personal hate seemed the only impelling mo-
tive. This seemed the more evident from the fact
that the failure at the former effort to elect was
| caused by one man, while every other Wing in his
branch OF the Legislature, and majority, amount
ing almost to unanimity, in the other branch, voted
for Governor FISH. Notwithstanding this torrent Of
abuse, which we'll calculated, it, indeed, it was
| not directly intended, to drive those on whom it
was avished into active hostility 70 Governor FIsIi,
we are glad that the great body of sound National
Wings did not suffer their confidence in that gen.
tleman to be impaired by the attacks of those p,o-
Tossing to be his exclusive friends. Nought but
irrepressiblc desire to give full vent to long cher
ished but i'll concealed animosity could have
prompted the Journal, and those it influenced, to
the course they pursued The delay of the election
has been useful, inasmuch as it has unmarked that
faction, and shown how ready it is to seize on any
pretcxt, however false, TO assail the National Ad-
ministration.

ExraAoRDrNAny TIDEs.-It is understood that
the tides of Tuesday and Wednesday last in this
harbor the highest that have occurred for
some twenty years. Considerable damage was
consequently done in this city, from the insndation
of cellars and the injury of merchandise stored
therein. The extraordinary height of the tide, as
loretoId by the calculations of Astronomers and in
part by the long continued prevalence of. north
casterly winds So far rs the effect was produced
almanac makers that it was not forescen by thosc
who had merchandise in exposed situations in sea-
TO enable them to deposit it in places of safety
The american almanac for 1851, at page Z, con-
tains table showing the height of the several
spring tides to during the present year, and
this table shows, by comparative height Of each
spring tide, that, 30 far as the tide depends on
astronomical causes, independently of the winds,
that of the 18th of March of the present year will
be the highest tide of the year.

POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH CANADA-The

says: "Hon James Morris, the postmaster general,
left this city yesterday for Washington. His OBJ
jcct is to negotiate postal arrangements with the
United States and thereby remove the inconvencies
of cttors at the lines, and other causes, including
the necessity for prepayment of postage. Wetrust
that his efforts will be successful. We shall have
cheap postage in Canada after the 9TH Of April In
the lower provinces the change will not take effect
till the 9th of July and therefore for three months
letters from those provinces will be chargcabe with
their postage far the boundary line, to which
our rate, three pence will be added. After the 9th
of July that rate will be common to all the North
American Provinces"

Astronomical.

1t cannot but be gratifying to American lovers
Of science to perceive the Difference shown to
their views by those devoted to the same pur-
suits abroad. The following, which is clipped
from the New York Tribune, relative to the
nomenclature Of the new planet Clio, meets
with very general favor; and we suppose that
the opinions of American astronomers, as ex-
pressed in their rejection of the English name,
are such as will be found to prevail pretty gen
orally among the American people; though, of
course, what we ask of other nations in this re-
spect we must be willing and expect ourselves
to yield on similar occasion:
"THE LAST New PLANEr.-It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Hind, the English astronomer dis
covered planet in September last, to which he
gave the name of Victoria. American astronomers
with the exception Of Mr.. Bond, of Cambridge,
objected to this name, as violating the principle
in accordance with which the name of Georgium
Sidus, proposed by Sir William Herschcl, was
rejected and compelled to give place to the
more appropriate name Uranus. Mr.. Hind, in a
letter to the american Astronomical Journal, de-
Tended the name he had proposed, by stating that
it referred not to Queen Victoria, but to the my
biological goddess of that name; and stated that,
~ IL siiouiu Hot Dc uuopteu ny American dsIOnO-
mers, he hoped they would the name Clio.
This name was Immediately accepted by the
tronomers of the United States and has since been
used by tbem though in variance with the rest of
the astronomical world. But, since the commence
ment of the year 1851, the French Academy ofSci-
ence-the highest scientific authority--has followed
the example Of our own astronomers, thus, in all
probability definitely settling the question. In the
Complies Rendus of January 10, 1851, appears the
following significant note, appended to commu-
nication from M. won villarceau, a distinguished
French astronomer:
"NoTE.--Mr. Gould writes from Cambridge that
the astronomers Of the United States of America
have after delbcration, adopted the name of Clio,
suggested by Mr. Hind himself. Should this title
finally prevail in England, the nomenclature of
the planets would contain NEUROLOGICAL names only.
In fact the Georgium Sidus has given place 20 IRA
nus in the Nautical Almanac for 1851
"In all the publications OF the French Academy
since the commencement of the present year, the
name Clio has been used for Sthis planet. II is
highly honorable TO the science of country still 30
young ours, that it dared boldly and alone to
object to name which is at once so Extensively
national, so rcpugnant to republican feelings, and
SO contrary to proper usage; and it is still more
honorable that the unaded influence of American
Swans has sufiiced TO carry the day."
