APPRECIATION OF REAL ESTATE.

The Spartan of the 2Oh inst, in Il sensible
article on the increase Of population and appre-
citation Of Real Estate makes the following re-
marks:
"Tlre present site of Wofford College. plot
of about forty acres, was sold to the Trustees
last year for fifty dollars per acre. We were
informed by the aged citizen, now no more, who
was the proprietor. that he purchased the tract,
about twenty years since. ior .Gfy cents per acre
equal to five hundred per cent per annnm.
"What profit was that Recent sales and
re-sales of Real Esta,e in our Town show very
great increase OF the value of such property
within tile past few years"
Between thirty and forty years ago. Y. McBee,
Esq, purchased q large landed property from
Col. WIN. Alston, lying and being situate in and
around Grcenrille village, for, we think, twenty
seven thousand dollars. The land sold, by Mr.
McBec, from this purchase, and that yet retained
by lin. we have heard estimated at several
hundred thousand dollars. His mills at the
Falls in this place, would now alone readily sell
for sum exceeding, by many thousands, the
sum originally paid for al his lands. Even be-
fore we had any prospect Of Il Rail Road to this
place, real estate here, and in the immediate
vicinity of this place, rated very high. Now,
however, when The Rail Road will certainly be
finished early next spring, and our richly en-
duwcd and already ilourishing Furman Univcr-
sity, is also built up, it is inconccivable what
will become the enhanced value of the real
estate of, not cnly our venerable friend and

THE G0RsUCH MURDER.

Mr.. Lirgct, chairman of the select committee
appointed by the Maryland House of Delegates
to consider so much Of the Governors message
as relates to the murder Of Edward Gorsuch,
and the trial of the treason cases in Philadel-
phia, has made an interesting report, accompa-
MED by resolutions instructing the Senators and
requesting the Representatives of Maryland, in
Congress to urge an amendment of the fugitive
slave law, so as to enforce, by adequate penal
ties, the attendance and aid of the aposse conf
tatas," when required by the officer charged
with the execution of the law. It is also re.
commended that the State of Pennsylvania, in
order to further the ends of justice, and alIay
all irritation and excitement between the citi:
zens of Maryland and that State, should pass
law providing for the transfer by writ of error
of all cases arising within her limits, which in
volve the operation or construction of the I'd
section Of the 4th article of the Constitution. of
the United States, or of the acts Of Congress-
passed in pursuance thereof, to the supreme iu.
dicial tribunals of the country for trial. The
Clipper, speaking of this report, says:
The report undoubtedly speaks the sennti-
men;s of large majority of the people Of
Maryland; aud the citizens of the free States
will find it to their interest to assist in enforcing
the fugitive slave law; or ut least not to permit
it to be forcibly resisted. They may have seen
the course which Legislation in this State, on
the subject Of free persons Of color is assuming,
and they may rely upon it, that, if injustice
continue to be pcrpetrated, they will have the
benefits Of u free negro population to its fullest
extcnt-for they will be compelled to leave the

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE late wonderful display of PYroeclnic art in
Paris, is said TO have been by far the most brilliant
novel and successful ever witnessed. The President
in proprid PERSONA gave the signal for the opening
Of the performance and it is worthy of remark that
even in displays such as these, LOUIS NAPOLEON is
apparently the idol of the French people. The ele-
CANT and magnificent description of the sudden ap-
pearance, during this exhibition, Of the s'triumpal
arch of the Carrouscl." closes as follows: :" On
either side were pillars of fire, the summit Of one
crowned with the of legend Of honor; the other
with the military medal while on the top of the
arch rose colossal eagle, with wings extended as
if in The act of soaring, and the head turned down
towards scroll traced in FIRE beneath Vive LOUIS
NAPOLEON"
Indeed it is astonishing to see with what acclama-
tions of joy, and shouts of appreciation this rcmarka-
Bile man is received on all and every occasion, and
still more remarkable, that during all the grand
military fetes the cry Of Tuc cmpcrcur;" uttered
with no feeble voice, ascends together with :" F'rc
Louis Ndpoteoa.'' The magic name of the Great
Bonaparte is being fast revived under the admnslra-
tion of his daring representative and kinsman, now
at the head of the French Government. France and
her resources Immediately under his command,
will be put, and where the unbrdlcd audacity and
nsoence of the 90 New Napoleon will end. 1t is
by no means an exaggeration TO say that, like his
renowned predecessor, the subjugaun of the CONT.
ncnt is or will be his am in fact, we believe to be
his intended, cherished and most darling project.
Can any rational man, after rejecting upon the
recent events in Europe and especially in France,
call this the language of hyperbolc, or intimate that
such an idea is groundess and whimsical! Is it
more or as much SO, the fact that. in less than
four years after the overthrow of LOUIS PmILIrrE,
private Individual by his own straicgy intrigue,
craftsmanship and policy, controls the very destiny
of the late French Republic What in fine can be
more startling than that Immediately after The cxpu-
sion of LOUIS PmILlrrE, while the whole public
mind of Europe was engrosscd with beautiful tleo-
ries of Rcpublicanism and Democracy, filling the
admirers OF independence and liberty with the most
sangunc hope of freedom for the old world, seven
eighths of the French population (from whom all
had expected the choice of freedom) actually .deler
mined, is evident by their ballot, to abosl,
everything like Republicanism except the external
show, by placing the whole power in the hands of
single individual, thus giving with struggle,
the control both of the civil and military departments
TO the most daring usurper. If more remarkable
instance can be found it is that LoN1s NAPOLEON
was Immediately supported and backed by Russia

NAUVO0.

This city of the Mormons once held 10000
inhabitants; there are now about 1000. One
half Of the houses the Mormons left have been
removed or pulled down, and the other half are
tcnan,ess. Each lot contained an acre. In
walking through its deserted streets started
several quails, in the midst of The once populous
city. The mansion of Joe Smith is kept by his
wife; once his widow, but now again wife
of another and live man-as tavern. Be-
tween this mansion and the river are the re-
mains of the famous hotel, which was abandon
doned after its walls had reached the second
story: the walls are of the fine pressed brick,
with marble door-sills and caps. Joc's store
house is also standing. The Masonic Hall is a
fine brick building three stories high. am
told that all the Mormons were Masons. Their
lodge WAS under the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of the State Of Illinois. Smith. am
told, initiated some of the "mohers in church,
when the charter was taken from them and the
lodge closed. The front wall, and the one next
to it, which formed the vestibule, are all that is
left standing of the achievement of fanaticism,
called "thc temple" which, as the inscription on
a large stone, worked in the inner wall, informs
the visitor, is
