CcsT OF GovEnEMENT.-The follow
ing is a statement OF the annual ave.
rage expenditures of the several ad-
ministrationsf for tho last twenty years:
Jackson's Administration s27 '5s5, 1896 80
Harrison and 'Tyler's &c 27,623.629 13
PoIk's Z" 43,S97,9l6 81
Taylor and Fillmores &c 55,442, ,4Sl 90
BY this account it appears that the
Government cost the people, under
Jackson's administration, less than
half what it has thus far cost under the
administration of President Taylor,
both being periods of peace. 1t fur
thcr appears that we are now paying,
in time Of profound peace, about
$50, 100000 more for our Government
than il cost us under the administra-
ton of Mr.. Van Burcn, when the Flo
rida war was raging at the South, and
$l2. 100000 more than it cost under
Mr.. Polks administration. when the
Government had to bcarth enormous

ton Of our next Legislature. In con-
Guiding this article we could not do
better than to adopt the language of
the Earl Of Derbyin his speech before
the Parliament, upon tho subject of
Education. He says: | believe, and |
rejoice to believe, that the feelings of
the community at large, that the con-
victions of all classes high ana low,
rich and poor have now come to this
conclusion, that the greater the amount
of Education which you are able to
give and the more widely it is spread
among all classes of the community,
the greater prospect there is Of the
tranquility, the happiness and weIl-be-
ing ofthe community. But, my lords,
when | use the term Education let me
not be misunderstood, by Education
| do not mean the mere development
of the mental faculties, the mere ac-
QUESTION of temporal knowledge, the
mere instruction, useful no doubt, as
that may be, which enable the man
simply to improve his condition in life,
gives him fresh tastes, and fresh habits
and also the means Of gratifying such
improved tastes, valuable as that IN.
s'rnction may be, when ! speak of Edu-
cation speak of this and this alone,
an Education involving culture of the
>mind and culture Of the soul, laying
the basis and toundatio upon knowl-
edge Of the scriptures and revealed
religion.

understand that a company ofpublie
spirited gentlemen. twelve in number,
have associated for the purpose of re-
opening the Charleston Theatre about
the lst Of November next, with entirc-

of between six and ten thousand dollars
have been subscribed, and the theatre
has been taken on lease of five years.
Mr.. Sloman, well known in this city

-Four Deaths by Poison.

The Mobile (Alu.) Tribune, of the
18th inst, says: A man named Prct-
love, living on Massachusetts street,
died on Sunday evening last very sud
denly, and on inquiring into the cause,
it was discovered that he had died
from the effects of poison. His wife,
who was apparently well at the time of
her husbands death, was soon after ia
ken sick, and died that hight, and n
child a boy about eight or ten years of
age. also died soon after. James
Carol, brother-in-law of PrctIovc,
took sick on Monday and died that
evening. There appears to be consid-
cradle mystery about the whole affair,
although the general impression now
IS that Prctlovc took nitric acid, which
he said he had been advised to do for
the liver complaint, aud either by de-
sign, or through some fatal error, it
had been partakcn ofby the other par
ties, which produced death Others
are Of the opinion that the poison was
administered BY other hands than those
of Prctlovc, from the fact that a vial
of nitric "cia was bought at Il drug
store on Monday, afer the death OF
the three first named victims. prct
love was heard to ask his wife if she
intended to get married again after his
death. She answered that She did moi
know-pcrhaps she would He then
remarked that he would see that she
would not. From this, it is though,
that Prctlovc administered the poison

PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF GENERAL
PlERcE.-Every-body, of course, is-
anxious to know something about the
personal Of the man who is TO be our
next President. He is not far from
five feet eleven inches in height, and
finely proportional. His face is i'm
pressive and commanding, and BEAM,
ing all over with the light Of intellect
and energy. We have never seen
countcnance which exhibits more lofty
purpose, zeal, and undisguised frank
ness. With mind ofthe highest orr
der, and harmoniously developed, he
combines the suayity of q child. IIisa
habits are those of n man who believes
there is great deal to be done, and;
very little to do it in. He is forever
at work, and we may say, that from
the first time he entered public life no
! man has spent his powers more pro-
tuscly in carrying out what was allotted.
to him than General Pierce.
AS an orator we will put him against
anybody in the country; but his argu-.
lncnts are none the less compact for
the beauty Of his diction and the ele45
gance OF his gestures. In his love of
country he is a perfect enthusiast
Had he half dozen lives to give they
would be freely yielded up at her
shrine. This salient feature Of his
character he may have inherited from
his father, who was q General in the
revolutionary war, and, we may add,
was afterwards governor of New
Hampshire. We delight in being thus
particular, though We have not said all
that we shall say.-Cleveland Plain

SBrigadier General of Cayalry.-<s5

In our paper June 1st., we noticed
the nomination Of COL Thomas j.
Ancrun, in the following manner:
"Nc see 10y the last Palmetto Stand
ard that Col. AEcr"m has been nomi-
mated by Chester Squadron Of CavaI-
ry' for the office of Brigadier General
in place of Gen. Owens, who it is said
has or intends to resign"
Our information, as we have erpress-
iy stated was derived from the Palmet-
to Standard-a respectable and relil-
bic source. We observed the nomi-
nation Of Col. Ancrun over the sigma
ture of "Chcstcr Squadron ofCavalry."
1t was but natural that we should no.
tce it as Il matter of information for
our readers, as Col. Ancrum is Il citi
zen of our District, and well known
Cavalry officer.
1t is true we might have noticed this
nomination in terms somewhat differ
something like the following: sin
the Palmetto Standard of tlc--inst.,
Col. Ancrum is nominated for the
Office Brigadier General ovcr the sigma
turc OF Chester Squadron" &c.athc
word over in place of "Lv." which
would have altered the rcadinu of the
sentence in some degree. This is

The New York Herald gives tle-
following account Of the origin of the
difficulty between the American and
Nova Scotia fishermen.
WAsHINGroN, July 6, 1852.
The British and Colonial govern.
mcnts are, at the present moment, 4;
adopting the most stringent measures
for driving the American fishing yes-5
sells away from the fishing grounds in.
the Bay Of Fundy, on the coast of No
va Scotia, and in the Gulf of st. Law
renee, to which points hundreds. Of
those vessels resort every summer
BY treaty, American fishermen are
not allowed to fish within maratime
league Of the coast, where is the best
fishing ground, nor in the. Bay of Fun !
dy; but they have been in the habit of 4
aisrcgarding ttlle prohibition, and not
only have done this, but they have
gone on shore, and, it would appear,
Lave carried on considerable traffic !
with the inhabitants, and it is said, in Z.
some instances, create disturbance.
The Canadian government has fitted
out by that of Nova Scotia, which are
commanded by very determined men,
who are resolved to bring affairs to q
crisis; one has been fitted out ut New
foundland, and one will be sent into.
the Bay Of Fundy by the government
of New Brunswick.
In the meantime, the British govern
ment have been equally on the alert,
and the Admiral on the North Ameri-s
can station, steam frigate, which has
been placed under the orders of the
Governor ofPrincc Edward Island, for
the protection of the fisheries in its vi j
cinity; an armed cutter has also been
sent into the Bay OF Funly, and has
already captured an American fisher
man found in its waters.
Two sloops of war have also bccn#
despatched to the Gulf of St. Lawrance
the Bermuda and Sappho-for the
purpose of enforcing the treaty, and !
fleet ofsmall armed vessels and stcasal-
crs, am crcdihly informed, are on
their way from England, with a SINH
lar object.
1t is much to be feared that this sud
den and Unexpected action may pro
ducc bloodshcd; and its ultimate re-
suits, with reference to the relations
between the two countries, it is impos-
sible to foretcll. The fishing vessels
frequent the grounds in large bodies,
several Of them cruising in company;
and it will not be u matter OF sur,
prise if they offer resistance to any
small armed vessel which may inter
tcre with their occupation, and thus
produce IL collision that may lead to
n concentration fthc British naval
forces onEtle station. 3i5l-
