The DIsUNIoN SENTIMENT OF SouTH CAROLINA
The National lntelligencer and the Union, and
other papers Of too little dignity be noticed but
to whose condition Of indecency and want Of mag
nanmity even the lnelligencer and Union
fast descending, lAboring to show that senti-
ment OF disunion, per ~,ls being encouraged in
this State and that irrespective Of any Just cause
OF complaint, South Carolina is engaged in covert
attempts to dissolve the Union. To press, which
consults its Imagination, and not facts; which
surveys the conduct Of people ofa Stale, through
its own preudces, and not through their own
actions; it would be useless to address arguments
to disprove its assertions. Does any man in his
senses believe that il South Carolina had wish
TO go out of the Union, independently Of any
cause Of complaint al the violation Of her local
rights, she would not long since have put lat
wish into effect Does even the integencer or
the Union believe, that the fear Of consequences
enters at all into the mind of her people, in
sidering the question Of disunionl We can tell
that paper, and all others who desire to be in
s,ructed in the TRUTH that nothing save feeling Of
veneraton for the glorious origin common TO the
whole nation, has dictated forbearance. The To-
cal rights Of South have never been respected,
and South Carolina has felt this the more power
fully, because she has never compromised herself
into nsensibility, by sharing in that general dvi-
sion Of the spoils, of the shamefully corrupt polt
ical scrambIes, OF the last twenty years. Had
she been nourshed on the Wing pap, which for
time fed the Hnislligenesr, drawn from the
more flowing Democratic udders on which the
Union has fattened itself into state Of obfuscate
placidity; then indeed might her constitution have
become subj ected to the same condition Of mono
msniaca, patriotism, which only displays itself in
reversing the natural order Of things, and making
Of tho greatest vices, the most extraordinary vir
tues.
The respect of South Carolina for the Union,
has been maintained long tine, on m~re
promises How much longer she will continue in
that respect, when to broken promises are added
the insulting misrepresentation Of the Union pa
pers, is a question about which neither she nor
her people trouble themselves. IL is very certain
that to respect for the Union, she never be
driven by anything which either the IntelIigencer
| or the Union may wrte that 1t is not in the
power Of either Of them to parge the contempt, in
which she now holds those who love the Union.
merely because they obtain it's Offices and dra W
ts pay Such people are not good witnesses in
any issue; and no release which they can sign, or
pardon which they may plead, will deprive them
Of their interest in the question, restore their
competency and credibIlity.

CALIFORNIA JUsTIcE.-At the first election

elected without opposition. Just before the
closing of the polls hard-looking character
entered Dr. HIS Office and requested his name
on piece of paper, % he wished to vote for him,
but was unable to write. The Doctor accor-
dinghy wrote his own name. just after the
polls had been closed and his election announced,
he was surprised by n visitation from several of
his friends, bearing certain suspicious cases. and
proceeded by the hard-ooking character afore-
said. "Come to celebrate the election, Doctor,

This is the first time that such scene ever
graced the Legislature Of Virginia. We are very
sorry to nee Congressional manners following
the train Of Congressional morals and politics.
But If the members of the Virginia Legislature
are determined in future TO clinch their argu-
ments with their fists, and 10 close thor debates
by appeals to the God Of Battles, we most re-
specially suggest that they do the thing more
decently in future. In Arkansas, in Texas, and
in other Legislatures where the usage is settled,
the most convenient nodus has been long since
prescribed. Two members under such circum-
stances, just step into the aisle, poke bowie
knives into each others bellies, turn over, and
the affair is ended. The doorkecper has little

NATIONAL TnEArnE.--On Tuesday night, Miss
DAVENPORT appeared here in the character Of
Pauline, in the Lady Of Lyons. Her acting seemed
TO give universal satisfaction to a crowded audi
ence. The simplicity and nature of her style sur
prised and took all hearts. Messrs. Gilbert and
Fenno were deservedly applauded throughout
The acting, generally, was admirable, reminding
us Of the pamy days Of the Drama in this city,
long years ago. We observed many old patrons
Of the stage present on Tuesday; gentlemen whom
we had missed from the Theatre in latter times
whose familiar smile pleasantly recalled the past
The experiment has been fully made, and
we doubt not, with proper management, the Stage
would be generously sustained in Washington
Let hope that the result Of this attempt will in
duce the establishment Of the Drama permanently
among US; and, during the present engagement OF
Miss Davenport, let us improve the opportunity
of reviving old enjoyments. 4

URlEL.


Ths Seraph Urie, a. the records tell
That angels write from his allegiance fsIl
And he Who rules the worlds beyond the sum
lie in whom love and wisdom are made one
Did hurl him from his royalty OF light,
To dwell amid the souls that wall In night. ~.
Then Uriel fsit his beauty fade away,
And q great grief Icy on him day by day;
Bat, as his splepdor wi,hsred for his sin,
Stronger ana brighter grew the love within;
And so In seuce, in his 6ery jail,
lie stood, rejoiced that love could yet prevail.
One day The ancen, Gods that howl below
Ascosted 'Uriel;-.s Uriel, this great wo
Will never pass, the stars viii seek the sun.
The universe shall end as II begun; ~
But through the endless circle Of the years
That angels know, shall neither hopes nor fears
Visit the dwellers in this world Of fire.
Therefore, when hate and anguish shall INSPIRE,
Ease your full heart with curses deep as ours;
Your love will never wiu you Edcn's bowers.
Then Uriel answered "He who made the night,
CrOwhd il with stars and with the pure delight
OF the clear moon: He who made all things fta,
DEGREES that SOW reign beauty shall prevail
There is no sorrow, friends, but il has still
Some soul Of sweetness IN It; there's no Ill
But comes from him who made it, and is good
As fruit in season, leaf in budding wood.
But il in this drear world all hope were vain
" penance were cternal--lf such pain
He could intiict, aud endure--my will
Would be to love, thro' all this cruel ill. y
He ended; and the ancient Gods below
Ceased bowling; when they saw the sweet. calm
GLOW
That wander'd over that good ANGEL face,
Making moonlight round them, till the grace
That was in his brave bearing and mild speech
Melted the hatred from the hearts OF each;
Ard they stood up, and through the streets of
hell
The sound OF countless voices rose and fell,
Praising the silent soul that dwells above,
Singing" We love thee, Lord, for thou art love-.
Then the dark dungeon burst its CRATES and bars,
And light came glowing in from suns and stars,
Lapsing down dreadful riffs; the shapes below
Saw fragments Of blue sky above them glow,
Like windows through the rents, they felt the air
Cooling their branded foreheads; everywhere
They saw the faces of young angels shine,
And golden fingers point to thrones divine;
While q low whisper murmured like the breeze
That comes and goes on tops Of mulberry trees;
And thus it said: 80, loving angels, rise,
Borne by strong love through the unfolding skier.
There ~ no sin, no sorrow, and no hell,
But they must cease where hearts love long and
well,
Where lips praise God in anguish and confess
There's love in pain-that even wrong can bless
The whisper ceased; and every soul, forgiven
By Love for Loves sweet sake, went up TO heav'n.
Each stood before his throne--fair, giad, and calm
And God sat in the midst, and heard the psalm
Which joyous angels raised in chorus bland.
And Uriel sat like God, at Gods right hand.

This is a great increase within one year, and
exhibits the feeling which prevails at the South.
Our merchants have no doubt anticipated and
prepared themselves for this change in the trade
of the South, by an enlargement of their stocks
Of goods--but there is one more object TO be
effected by Batimoreans; and that is, to establish
a regular line Of packets between this city and
Liverpool. This would attract the whole South
ern custom to our port. We know that this
important subject has received the attention Of
the merchants of Baltimore, and thata memorial
to Congress has been presented-but we fear,
that, unless it be diligently pressed, it may be
passed over during the present session. Direct
importations of goods from Europe would make
Baltimore rs market for Southern custom, all
that could be desired; and we cannot see any
reason why government should not patronize a
Southern as well as a Northern line of packets,
as auxiliary to the Post office Department.

THE Press IN PRUssrA.-From statistical re.
port Of the periodical press in Prussia it appears
that up to June Of the present year, there exist
ed within the Prussian monarchy 800 periodical
publications of different kinds political and non.
political. OF newspapers there were l59 con.
servative and governmental; 2Ol oppositonal
and l67 neutral undecided and wnverinr.-
There were 2s2 scientific, technical and literary
periodicals.. OF the above number 80 were pub
lished in Prussia, 81 in Posen, 81 in Branden-
burg, II in Berlin, 81 in Pomeraha, 1871 in ST.
lesa, la in the province of Saxony, 81 in
Wesiphalin, and l59 in the Rhine provinces.
On an average there is in Prussia one peri
odica to every 20lS5 inhabitants; but in many
of the provinces this proportion is greatly al
tered; thus in the district of Brombcrg, there il
only one journal to 90,935 inhabitants, and in
that of Gumbinnen one 10 lo2,3ll. Since the
month Of June, and when the new Prussian
press DEGREES were issued. 1877 journals have
ceased to exist, of which Is were conservative,

From the Baltimore Clipper.

RESULT OF THE SLAVERY AGITATION Whilst
we have strenuously opposed the slavery ag Ia
ton under the fear that it might ultimately lead
to dissolution Of the Union, we lave not been
insensible to the flct that it must inevitably
augment the trade of our city with Southern
ports. Theinterference OF Observation-Disclosures
with Southern rights, and the apparent determi-
nation Of many Of them to continue agitation
on the subject OF slavery, have naturally alienatcd
the feelings OF Southerners from the North, SO
far at least to cause them to perfer Southern
over a Northern Port for commercial operations.
The consequence has been TINT Southern merch-
ANS, who heretofore procured their supplies of
goods from No thern ports, now resort tn Balti-
more; and the effect is seen in the following
list Of ceararces from this district for Southern
ports, during the months of January 1850 and
l85l-wnich we copy from the American Of
Saturday last:

SALEM, Feb. 4.

INTELLIGENCE FROM BuEHos AYRRs.-The
British Packet Of December IL, says that the
finances of the country are in creditabe cor
dition, with considerable surplus on hand.
Large quantities Of produce were being brought
from the interior for the United States and Eu-
rope.
The Packet thinks that the troubles between
that country and Brazil will be amicably settled,
bat speaks of hostiities on the frontier, between
the chief Of tho republic of Paraguay and GER
tain officials of Buenos Ayrcs, relative to the
latter build ng upon alleged rental lands
The President had sent force of 800 men
to dispense them, but the troops were not sue
cessful, and were themselves obliged to retire.
The tone of the Picket is very bitter towards
Brazil
