AUSTRIAN EMlGRATIoN.-From the
best opinions that can be gathered, says
the London Times, it appears that he
present rate of emigration to the Aus
tralian gold regions from Great Eri-
tain, may be estimated at 5000 per
week. The majority of these are poor
but respectable people, paying their
own passages. while there arc also
many who have enjoyed fair position
in this country, and who take on,
moderate amounts of capital. AS fur

REST FOR THE PALMETT0S.

THE Committee on the Military huvc reported
farorably on " Bill to exempt members of the Pal.
metto Regiment from Militia and Patrol duty. "
That. exactly right according to our notions. We
have thought it ought to be done ever since the
brave fellows returned from the wars, and rejoice
to that there is now prospect Of its hring carried
into effect. We know numbers Of men who, for
passing through the comparatively sinecnre service
Of holding Office seven years, upon The free
lsi," grinnng from time to time with the most pro.
voking sclfcomplacency upon those of us who have
still to " toat our shot-suns" in the ranks Now We
maintain (althnnsh it will not help US individually
one speck for we are not Mericans,) that the Pal
metos, each one OF whom has endured more and
done more to honor the name of Carolina than any
fnrty militia Captains Colonrls either, suuld be
added to this list forthwiih Common justice, to say
nothing of gratitude, demands it Mt the hands of
Legislature, and we trust this Bill will not he left
among the unfinished business of the present Session
