most strange and incredible fact at the very

this that no medicine prepared adapted to the various dis

We should suppose that to this great class human

skill would have been asked to its capacty to find
out medicine to which mothers nurses might resort

crowded with medicines for adults, but to thesuering of

one has regarded their condition. No has to

The Convention.

Our readers will see from the proceedings OF TINS
BODY. in todays paper that adournedon Friday last
aterayery harmonious session days. during which
no debates were indulged in calling forth angry ana
unpleasant feelings. On the contrary, it seemed 10 oe
the desire and determination Of all parties to harmonse
The speeches of Gov MEANS at the commencement and
close of the Convention clearly demonstrates the feel
ing which pervaded that assembly. The anxiety mani
tested by our Senator, Judge BUTLER the efforts and
almost unanimous expression Of opinion on the part OF
leading Co operatonsrs and Secesonists shows US in
unmstakerble language that the friends Of Carolina de-
sire still to present an unbroken front to their enemies
It NAV be supposed that the members Of this Conven
ton have done nothing. They have done all they couu
do and it is idle to charge them with error because
they did not pass ordinance ofsecession The fault
lies with the people They determined by an over
whelming voice to submit to past aggreSsions. The
Convention could 60 no more than acquiesce.
The Convention has done something. They have de-
cared that Secession is unquestlonabe right and
that State NAV exercise this alternative when
the necessity is forced upon it, or whenever 1t desires
TO do so Thiss new doctrine to Secesslonsts they
have been up to this point for long time and would
have carried their faith into practice had they not Oeen
prevented by adverse circumstances.
Time will show that the Secessionists were right
that Cooperation never can be effected, until some
State makes the practical issue.
Even Mr. PERRY the ardent friend Of the Union, ad'
ms the right of Secession-that the General Govern
ment have aggressed upon our rights, and that there
are several points beyond which intolerance may not
be borne, among which is the abolition OF slavery IN
the District of Columbia without the consent OF the
owners; or to refuse the admission Of State into the
Union on account OF slavery to refuse to carry out
the existing Constitutional provisions on the subject OF
the rendition Of fugitive slaves &C. lie regards tine
domestic institutions Of the South not only moral and
correct but great blessing to the African race and
absolutely necessary for the continued peace and pros
perty of the saveholdng States and as such will be
forever defended and maintained by them at any and
all hazards and to the last extremity Of their existence

Accidents on South Carolina Rail Road.

We have heard of several accd nts the South c.
rona Rail Road the particulars of which we give be-
low from the Charleston papers:
RAILROAD AccIDENrs.-One Of the freight
trains of the South Carolina Road ran on the
turnout at Lewisvlle, on Friday night last The
only injury arising from the accident was, that
that the night express train from Columbia was
obstructed in its downward passage, and was
forced to return.
On Saturday morning the crowded passenger
train from Columbia, about mile from the de-
pot, came in contact with locomotive and train
Of empty cars, which had been despatched from
Charleston for the accommodation of the men,
bers of the State Convention. No injury was
done to any Of the passengers. One Of the To-
comotives was disabled and its baggage car was
shattered After a delay Of few hours, the
wreck was cleared away, and the train came on
safely to Charleston, arriving about nine o'clock.
The road curves near Columbia where the con-
cussion took place, so the engineers could not see
at any considerable distance an approaching
train.
1t has been rumored also that an accident hap
pened at Blackville on Thursday night, and that
one of the citizens of that place, whose name our
informant did not know, had been killed by the
passage of the train over his body. Subsequent
investigation, however, has led to the opinion
that the person in question had teen killed and
laid upon the track by some persons with whom
he had been driaking.--Souther" Standard.

It was general remark, that invalids who
survived the month of March would probably
live through the year. Such is the kind intiu-
ence of climate upon the nerves Of the invalids,
that were now troubled with this complaint
and it was reduced to a certainty that my hfe
would end in three months, would hasten into
the climate to die-as there my life would end
probably without pain-while at the North the
hard winds would make every cough tear me
asuuder. Leaving home under such circumstan-
ces has its evils, but climate, accompanied by
friend, will more than counterbalance IN many
cases.
Invads, who comfortably survive the cold till
January or February, may often lind March un-
endurable-an escape from which will often pro-
long their lives. This has induced me to write
this article, as I we'll remember, when ordered
myself to seek more genial climate by my
medical friends, l found it impossible to obtain
any reliable practical knowledge where to 60
Florida is probably better than even Italy, much
more convenient and less expensive-but OF
course the former is comparatively entirely des-
titute Of interest During the past twenty years,
new hotels have been opened in Florida, as lam
informed, particularly up the st. John. Almost
any family in St. Augustine, for $50 to 500,
for say six or eight months, would havae vaca-
ted their house, at short notice, if it could be
rented, as cash was verv rare article.
Invalids 60 to Florida even from Savannah
and Charleston, to avoid the month of March;
and Northern invalids, leaving Florida in March,
in tolerable health, were generally confined to
the house, and often made sick, by the change,
on their arrival at Charleston and Savannah
the change of climate being so violent. The
medical men in Florida all agree that Northern
invads should never leave before April, and that
it was more safe to remain till even June; then
they come into warmer climate at the South,
and have the summer to determine the result.

Key West is the largest town in the State Of
Florida. 1t contains population ofthree thou.
sand About one-haf Of the people are engaged
in wrecking and collecting sponges, turtling, and
in fishing for the Havana market. The sponge
business is sibccoming very important; immense
quantities of this sea animal are shipped TO
France, and then manufactured into cloth, felt
hats, &. The average annual amount decreed
by the Admiralty Court of Key West to the
wreckers is $4,000. The Havana fisheries
are also a large income. The Government is
erecting immense forti6cation on the island, sit
uation 80 as to command both entrances to the
hsrbor. 1t will when completed mount one hmm
dred and fifty guns. The height Of the walls
above the waters edge will be forty feet. They
are now completed to the first tier Of guns
The material used is Connecticut granite. The
amout already expended is less than three hum
dred thousand dollars, and six years have elapsed
since its commencement.
