the capital of the Palmetto State, thence through
Augusta, Ga, to Montgomery, Ala, can safely
say that there is more encouraging and healthy
feeling apparent in this section OF country than
expected to see, in regard to business prospects
and the sgita,ing subjec. OF Slavery. At CoIumbia
Twas informed that South Carolina was overrued

allowing the old parishes on the seaboard member
Of the Senate when perhaps not more tnan io'y OF
fifty voters to be found 10 The precincts, whie
only one me nber was allo Ned to western district
where several hundred voters were to be found.
This state OF things is now opposed by the western
people, and will eventually De corrected by the
popular voice OF the majority OF the people OF the
State.

Pis heretofore has been ao we'd 20 take the ieaf IN

The Steamers on the Southern waters are also

Walking with the Feet Upward.

man is exhibiting in New York who walks
on the under side of polished slab of marble
The Scientific American explains the feat by
saying that it is performed upon well-known
principles of science, by using air pumps, and
working them step by STEP to extract all the air
under appendages on his feet, so that the out
ward pressure on one foot will exceed his whole
weight; and that although the polished marble
slab is the greatest wonder to some, he could not
perform the feat on rough, porous boards. Now.

A writer in the "National Inteligencer" of to-
day asks this question, and argues it on the mega
tive side with very great ability; but we do not
agree in his conclusion. The proofs of insanity
adduced are, in opinion, proofs of nothing, or
indications of nothing, but duplicity. This is the
plain English of it, The impossibiity of getting

Of saddles, land perhaps horses y muskets, &C.,

From the Alexandria "AgA."l

We understand that it is probable that this case
will have rehearing before the Supreme Court
Of the United States. Every one has heard of it;
Ior the amount of property, though much exag-
gcrated, is very large.
The length of time it has been before the
public, now twenty years the overwhelming
weight of SO much wealth and SO many interests
n the defence-the enormous expense and years
of indomitable perseverance on the part of the
plaintif-the almo,t inextricable meshes Of 80
much law, necessarily made intricate by a mass
If conflicting evdence-and the almost universal
feeling that, in equity, Nrs. Gaines is entitled
to her suit,-make this case so familiar to the
people of every part of the Union, that it may be
said to have almost national interest. Besides
this, the court in its late decision WAS divided
and the powerful argument and strong language
Of Judge Wayne, one of the dissenting judges,
in giving his reasons for not concurring in the
Judgment, has awakened an additional interest,
not only for Mrs. Gaines, but from an apprehension
that the highest court of our country, to which the
people are in the habit of looking with the greatest
confidence may have erred in this important case,
and that 1t may not only be injury to the
party Immediately affected, but the course pursued
IN this case may, as precedent, be serious
evil to all future generations. The course OBJ
jected to, we are informed is, that evidence of an
nadmissible character has been received, and
that evidence perfectly admissible has not been
allowed
If the court has committed an error { and who
is infallible? is it not bettsr-is it not just to
rchear or reverse its decision? This has been
done by the greatest men who have adorned the
bench-among them Chief Justice Marshall Then
surely the present bench, however distinguished,
may not fear following such an example.

1t appears that Judge Allison, in his late

to the sentiments uttered by Judge A. We quote
the words of their presentment. They will form
the text OF many an able argument hereafter.
:, The Grand Inquest cannot close their labors

is properly exciting and attracting the public
attention. Allusion is made to a law prohibiting
the sale Of Intoxicating drinks within the Com
