ORR ADVERTISING COLUMNS.

WE would respectfully call the attention of the
business public to tine extent and neatncss of our
advertising department. Without boasting we assert
confidently that no typos surpass our own in that
taste of arrangement and skill of execution, ncccssa!
to give completeness of finish to every portion Of n
paper and especially set forth in handsome promi-
nence the publication of advertising notices. In this
respect we willing 10 stand the test Of comparison
with any sheet in the State When add to this
that there are not perhaps half dozen of our Caro-.
lima contemporaries which equal us in extent Of cir
culalion we think we may safely recommend our
paper TO business men at large and particularly to
those Of our own section, of Hamburg and Augusta,
of Newbcry, of Columbia and Of Charleston, as a
most valuable advertising medium. 1t is with graft.

THE RECENT GREAT PREsHET.

FoR accounts of the destructive floods Of water
which have lately inundated almost every part of the
Southern Statcs refer readers TO the extracts
from various authentic sources which We publish this
week. The conclusion s that this Freshet, although
exaggerated as to certain localities, wtha the most
disastrous one ever experienced among US. In our
own State, immense injuries have been sustained by
many planters. Such however is the abundance Of
our provision crops all over the country, tina, these
disasters however trying upon individuals, will not
perceptibIy fleet the general veal.
The Rail. Road Companies have suffered, in some
instances, very seriously. We fear it is 4 sad blow
to the Greenve and Columbia Rail. Road Company,
struggling as they We're to carry on their enterprise
to success. The loss Of their Chief Engineer, Col.
BRowN, is even unfortunate for them than their
pccuniary loss. For he was the very soul of this
undertaking almost from its commencement, and we
imagine it will be difficult supply his place.
1t was indeed melancholy circumstance, the untur.
unutc death Of this enterprising and talented man,
in the very meridian of life, his labors after disnc-
on in his profession just crowned with success, and
locked up to by young and dependant family. They
have our warmest sympathes.
Wishing that it may be long before We shall be
called upon TO record much of destruction and
suffering again, point readers 10 the selections
we have made for their information upon these points
and leave the subject.

GREAT SALT LAKE.

WE arc indebted 10 the Hon. A. p. BUTLER for 4
copy Of "Stunsbury's Expedition to the Great Salt
Lake." together with the accompanying maps. The
work is got up in fine style, and is very interesting

geological descriptions are very fine, and give nIi-
doubted evidence Of great labor and research. Tie
book contains complete and concise history of tie
Mormons and exhibits the customs, habits and man.

other history we have seen. Some Of the descrlp.

she was wrapped had by some means been dsar-

CONGRESSIONAL

THE Legislative Session Of 1852 has at length
brought its business to cldsc-Congress ADJOURNED
upon the day appointed, the 3st ult' md ' pFocecu

for better or worse.
The first four or five months OF the session was
passed in long md elaborate speeches upon queslions'
if not foreign 10 the business Of either house. ut least
such as might have been disposed Of in quick order'
and with little or no discussion. kossuTH and his
patriotism, Hungary and her wrongs occupied, we
can safely say, two months Of the session, and al
though the question involved, in relation to the Great
Hungarian and the fate of his amcn,ed country
were entirely ex,raneous to the purposes for which
Congress had assembled yet more time, labor and
argument were expended in upon Intervention
than any other single subject ofthc session. 10 thls
cause, however We are indebted for some remarkably
fine speeches, perhaps the hest Of the past Congress
ional setting.
The interminable printing question and the fresi
DENTAL election contained in them the germs OF nncl
chcanery bargain making and party ecctioncering-
insomuch that the speeches ther sOn although care
fully prepared and delivered S}aane ' set phrase q

very many, unintelligiblc questions, progressed bu
slowly. 1t was impossible for Il TO rid itself of tht
mass Of unmporiant debates with which it was en-
cumhered and therefore compelled 10 gropc as i

Wings and Democrats, Aboitonists and Siare.hold

The great cclerity, however. with which boil

part of the session.
The immense rush Of business towards the close o

and although sadded with an unusual quantity o
work they acted with so much energy and perscvc
rance as to acquit themselves with personal credit
and to the honor OF their constituents.

the cotton worms c0uinuc their ravagcs upon
the SEA coast Of South Carolina. In the ricini.
ty Of Beaufort, ST. Helena, and in the forks of
the Congarec several crops have been almost
entirely destroyed. We also hear that they
have made their appearance upon Wilmington
and St. Simon's islands, though not in sufficient
numbers to create apprrhrnsions of heavy
losses. In Liberty, Mcintosh, Glynn, and
Camden, we hear of them in different and dis
