fore we entered, and a crowd, in the space not &C.
cupied by benches STOOD close together that they
might, without strained metaphor, be compared to
herrings packed in a barrel. In the gallery con-
structed for the orchestra, high above the heads
of the less aspiring crowd, sat the Lord Mayor of

sons whom we did not recognize but the feet of one

erogatory to do more than alude to them now. They
WERE ALL on the OCCASION equal to themselves. Parodi
never appeared to greater advantage; Patti equal
to herself, whichis praise enough Hauser certainly
never surpassed his performance that night

SERENA.-What, Cornelia! poring over your
book still Why, its enough to make one sick
of the sight of book, to see a young creature
shutting herself up, for whole hours together,
and coming over some dull stupid work.
CoRNELIA.-I don't find it such dull employ
ment as you seem to suppose.
SERENA-Perhaps you have got some inter
esting book, novel it may be; (takes up the
work and looks into it.) Botany why Ccrne
liza, would as soon be sent to Botany Bay, as
to be compelled to learn all these hard words ;
for nv part think its just so much nonsense.
CoRNEL1A-Not nonsense. Serena; at least
should suppose not from what have learned,
but that is not much, I am only beginner.
SERENA.--Qaking up a rose)- think can
enjoy the fragrance, or admire the beauty OF
rose, just as well, without this farago of hard
names that botanists use, merely to puzzle
folks.
CoRxEuA.-These terms, though not easy to
learn, are yet quite necessary.
SERENA.-Of what use, pray?
CoRNELIA.-To enable writers to distinguish,
arrange, and describe plants, which they could
not so we'll do without this aid.
SERENA-Th,s may all be true; vet still, l
don't see the use of girls troubling themselves
about such matters To my taste its dull bu-
siness.

raptured; pray tell me why you find X SO agree

Tea and Coffee.

We are about to have these two great luxuries Of
life added to the numerous productions, with which
the Almighty, in his abundant goodness, has blessed
the South The success which has attended the intro
ducton of the Tea plant into South Carolina, by Mr.
JUS1us SMITH, seems to have settled the fact OF the
adaptation of the soil and climate Of portions OF the
South, to the raising Of this highly important plant
Coffee was once cultivated in Florida, and in few
wears will doubtless be produced in considerable quan-
titles. We shall then have the three great luxu'
ries of flife-Tea Coffee, and Sugar.
How thankful should we be, that God has given us
such mild and delightful climate; and such diver
sty and richness of SOIL adaptedto such variety OF
productions that minister to qualification. supply
our wants and add to our wealth. May He give US
the hearts to receive all these varied blessings with
thanksgiving and to enjoy them with grateful sense
of our dependence upon Him for these abundant means
Of happiness.
If we fail to honor God and to acknowledge him as
the source of all good cannot hope for con-
nuance of our merc;es Ingratitude is the blacklist
oil crimes and whether manifested by an individual or
community is sure to receive sooner or later its ap
propriate punishment.

purpose Of constructing Railroad from Lancaster T.

tcrprise 1t really seems gentleman Of that place
told US at their last Court that the people are deter

our Council appoint delegates.

NEWSPAPER PosTAGE.-lhet following sect'on
of bill to amend the postage law passed the
House of Representatives on Friday last:
"That from and after the thiricth day of
September, eighteen hundred and fifty two, the
postage upon all printed matter passed through
the mail of the United States, instead of the
the rates now charged shall be as follows, to wit ::
Each newspaper, pamphlet, periodical, magazine,
book, bound or unbound, circular, catalogue, and
every other description of printed matter uneon,
nected with any manuscript or writing, and OF
no greater weight than two ounces, shall be
charged with one cent postage, and one cent for
each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce,
fo, any distance under three thousand miles and
for any distance over three thousand miles dou-
lie those rates. All newspapers and periodicals
not weighing one ounce, published regularly, as
often as once in three months, and sent from the
office of publication to actual subscribers shall be
cbargeable with one-haf the foregoing rates.
The postage upon all printed maiable matter
shall be prepaid at the office where it is mailed,
or paid quarterly in advance at the office of de-,
livery, otherwise double the foregoing rates shall
be charged thereon"
The large blanket advertising sheets OF New
York do not appear to like this bill. The Jour-
nal of Commerce says:
"This bill may be an improvement upon the
existing law in some respects, but in others 1T 1t
makes bad worse. For instance, under this bill
the postage on the Journal Of Commerce, Cou-
rier and Enquirer, and other papers of the same
dimensions and weight, would be two cents
sheet, (cheap postage with a vengeance9 for any
distance whatever. If over 5000 miles, then
four cents per sheet. Should this bill become
law in its present shape, we shall be obliged to
use thinner paper for our mail subscribers, so as
to reduce the weight persheet two ounces. 1t is
now nearly two and half ounces. By increa
sing the minimum to two and half ounces, all
the papers in the country would pass under the
single rate. Then by allowing an abatement Of
one-half in favor Of papers only half the size OF
the Journal of Commerce, all would be right
enough, so far as this matteris concerned. We
are not without hope that this modification will
be made"

DEATH OF VIM. J. REEs-It is with painful
feelings we record the death of our felow-citizen
Mr.. William j. Rees. He died at his residence
near Stateburg, on Wednesday morning, the 7th
inst, Of congestion of the lungs, in the bloom Of
youth leaving melancholy void in the hearts
ofa large cicle Of relatives and friends, and above
all young and lovely wife to mourn her irrepa-
rable loss. We seldom hear of a case Of equal sad
ness. Mr. Rees was wealthy; but modest and
retiring in his manners. lie was surrounded
by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of
life. Beloved by his neighbors he had passed
but six short months with his interesting and af-
fectionate wife and while the bright prospect OF
future bliss and happiness was spreading out be-
fore him, he was summoned away. The mournful
event has cast melancholy gloom over the COM
munity in which he lived.
His disease was brought on by exposure to the
sun during the iwudicious parades on the lst
inst. We fear that other serious results will
follow that days work; but we trust not.

of riot which recently took place in its vicinity
1t was training day; and an officer having awar-
ded some praise to the blacks for the manner in
which they went through the military exercise,
some of the whites took offence at it, and treated
the blacks with derision. This led to a general
row in which the negro domicils were attacked,
the negroes driven to the woods for refuge, and
their VILLAGE reduced to mass ofruins.

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.

The subject of salaries of our functionarles at
home and abroad, has of late been much discuss
ed. There is CO slant tendency in this gov
ernment towards the increase of salaries There
is project for increasing the salaries OF all the
District Judges of the U. S. Courts, far beyond
those of the State Courts. Salaries Of clerks and
other officers have often been raised, and are
higher here than in any other country. The
psy of officers of our Navy is higher than in any
other service in the world. New officers are
yearly created. We lately found it necessary
to create an office for IN assistant Attorney Cen
eral, though he is only called clerk. The Of
flee of Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury was
not long ago created, and his salary has been
increased. The office of Assistant Secretary of
State is to be created. 1t has been repeatedly
recommended Another Postmaster General Is
required New bureaus and new departments
have been lately created, and two or three add-
tional bureaux are proposed. The creation OF
new branches of the Mint, and the extension OF
the revenue, light houses, and marine hospital,
and military asylum, and land systems, all IN
yolye the increase Of the numbers OF officers, and
there is tendency towards the increase uf their
salaries. Much is said as to the expense of llv-
ing in Washington, and every body admits that
Senators and Members of Congress must be al
lowed better salaries A Secretary, with his
family, cannot live here comfortably and receive
company, for less sum than ten thousand dol
lars year. As to members Of Congress 1t has
been proposed to allow them salary OF twenty
five hundred dollars year, for sessions both
lone and short. The influx of gold and the con-
sequent swell of the paper currency have so en-
HANGED prices in all our cities, and especially, IN
was deemed adequate FIVE years ago, is much
short of the mark now. If the revenue should
continue to be as abundant as it now is, Congress
will increase their own salaries and those Of all
other officers. An annually increasing revenue
is what we want, in order to keep pace with the
progress Of the country in wealth, luxury, and
population, and with the patriotic zeal Of poll
ticiars to serve their country in public office.
