Thesteamship Pacific, Captain Nyc, was
telegraphed early this morning, and landed
her passengers at ten o'clock, in less thar
ten days from Liverpool to New York
the quickest passage on record between
Liverpool and New York.
This passage Of the Pacific beats her
own quick time of September 1850, six
hours, and the best time ever made to n.
York by any Cunard Boat twenty four
hours.

A letter from Lyons, dated SIS, ult.,
gives us the details of a pretty extensive
conspiracy against the Government which
has Just been discovered and broken up.
The plan was to have simultaneous in
surrections in the month Of May last, in all
parts of France, and especially in the de-
partmenis Of the southwest, but they fail
cd, because no men would put themselves
forward as chiefs.
From Germany, we hear that there is

We heard the other day, of queer meth
cd Of deciding memorial dispute. A
husband and wife not living together, she
ran away and left him. Not relishing over
well the comforts Of single blcssedness, lie
married another, without divorce from his
first wife. With her he was living very
peaceably, when the quandom better half
came back to her allegiance, and claimed
her rights. Here was adilemma, but final
y the husband Lit upon novel way Of
settling the claims Of each He proposed
that they should fight, and promised to live
with the victor. SO at it they went, and
scratched and strangled each other most
numerically, the husband standing by and
urging on the favored second wife with
cries Of
Whip her, Hannah Whip her, Han
nah!'
At last, however, the zeal and strength
ofthe first conquered, and the poor husband
was sorrowiully obliged TO resume his for
mer love.
This is veritable fact, and occurred in
this county.-Po9ghkeeDSie telegraph.

The Southern Standard.

In ourjudgment takes bad way to produce
Cooperation, (even at home) by copying as it does
paragraphs, ofnotavery complimentary character,
to the secessiouists of South Carolina, from such
prints as the New Orleans Pcayune, which en-
brace every opportunity to ridicue the movements,
Of the action party. Or if it suits the Standard
aud Picayne better, we have no objection to say
ing of the "Rhettites," although we pin our faith
to no man, yet we believe Mr.. Rhett is right, and
as long as he is in that position, we are not averse
to being classed in that vocabulary, for certainly
it is better than to be called "a SUBJ" We think
there is strange inconsistency in the course
which the Standard is pursuing notwithstand-
ing its avowal to the contrary, the Standard is
doing much to bring about state of feeling, be-
tween parties in South Carolina, which We depre-
cate SO strongly in the Greenville Patriot, which
feeling will likely result in the alienation of the
two resistance parties in the State, from each 9th.
or, by which the cause will be ruined, and uti-
maely the triumph of Perry, Thompson, Fillmore
g. Co., will be complete. Whether the Standard
or any one else, is willing to give us much credit
for Smartness, is matter 10 us Of supreme in
difference" We believe time will show what We
say to be correct.

Charlestoa---Co-operation.

In recent paper, we remarked in our COM
ments upon the late Cooperation movements in
Charleston that this City was bitterly opposed to
measures ofresistance, such as separate State ac-
ton. The reason why such is the case, appears
quite OBVIOUS We are not surprised when we
consider that Charleston in feeling and interest, is
almost Northern. Capital and influence of a
Northern origin, have been brought heavily to
bear upon the issues Of the day. 1t is rather sur
prising that so many secessons!s, Of the first
class and letter "a" should be found in Charles
ton, who do not allow their interest in dollars and
cents to outweigh every other consideration
For such VIC must entertain feelings different from
those who allow the almighty dollar" to carry
them into tame subnSSioIsul We hope enough
Of the good eaven may be found, to lraven the
whole political lump, for we believe that great
many in Charleston stand upon the Cooperation
platform who are opposed to action Of any kind.
We have been highly graiilicd at the reception of
the following letter from an esteemed friend, which
is the very antpodes CT all that winks at submis-
sion. Our correspondent, after the usual pre-
ilminares and referring 10 the nunl3ar OF our pa
per which speaks "f the late Cooperation moye-
mcnts in Charleston, says: Upon reading your
editorial, / find you making an admission, which
many Of us here, are b. no means ready to ac-
knowledge correct, viz: That Charleston is bitter
ly opposed to measures of resistance, &c. On
the contrary, the "Resistance Party" of Charles
ton, is daily gaining strength, and could you have
attended the demonstration, made at the last
meeting ofou "Auxiliary Association" you would
at least have found large number present, whose
names were not sent abroad, in the call for the
late Incorporation Meeting" We feel assured,
that the position Of parties here, is now changed,
and that we shall yet be enabled to show this
fact, to our back-country friends, upon the first
opportunity, that calls us 10 the Polls"

PUBLIC MEETINGS.

We have heard briefly and generally from
the meeting held on monday last at Chester.

meeting had at first been called the anti.scces.

q hearing on both sides. There were about
eight or nine hundred present, of both parties,
who wore addressed by Messrs. Rhett and Nc
Alilley--ths latter Oil the anti.sccession side.
Both speeches were well heard, and were mar.
kedb by the usual ability of the speakers.
At Yorkvillc, it is estimated about fifteen
hundred were present, and who seemed to be
nearly all in favor Of the action party. They
were addressed by Col. Maxcy Grogg aud Gen.
James II. Adams, ofthis District, and by their
immediate fellow-ciizen, Gen. John A. Aston,
in able, argumentatIvc and eloquent addresses,
which were listened to with the greatest enthu-
siasm and approbation.- Caroliaian.
