The State of South Carolina has in many
and repeated cases, fargrantly passed by, un-
noticed, measures conducive to our public
interest; and the Legislature, after repeated
sessions Of three or four weeks, have passed
foolish, unmeaning and adverse laws, when
matters like this are left unnoticed. The
fact is, we sometimes think South Carolina
merely acts in this manner, TO show her in
dividuality. She. dislikes to follow in the
track Of other States, and therefore preserves
this Independent neutral course, although at
the same time repugnant to her interest

Edgefeld Advertiser.

Mr.. Jno Bacon is now associated with
Mr.. Simpkins in the editorial department of
this paper.
The Advertiser was one amongst the nh.
merous papers in the State, that supported
the doctrine OF separate State action. Here.
after it will be more conservative in its poli.
ties, finding it hopeless case to urge State
sovereignty in opposition to public opinion.
The following will show Mr.. Bacon's
views:
As to my political principles, it is scarce
" necessary to say more than that they are

pcrity of our district, and to make every ex-
ertion to heal the breach, which unfortunate
ly divides the two prominent parties of our
State.
The majority of our citizens are co-opera-
honists, consequently, we could not approve
OF paper among US, zealously devoted to
the State Action party. Neither would we
support one running into the opposite cx-
tremes, advocating the doctrines of direct
"Unionist." We love the Union as it was
originally designed by our forefathers and
with pride we contemplate the expanding
greatness and strength ofour growing repub-
lie but stern realities of the fact convince
us, that there is no security for the future,
until the ,chole South unites and sewers her

my good wishes for the welfare of your cx-

Correspondence of the Ledger.

CHARLESTON, March 8, 1852.
Mr. Editor If the prosperity and grow
ing Importance of the Metropolis of the State
can afford your readers of the interior plea
sure and pride, then will they indeed have
now, an opportunity of exultation in the dali
ly strides, which Charleston is taking in the
march of improvement We arc now per-
manently connected by five Steamboats,
with Wilmington, Baltimore, and New
York, giving frequent opportunity of inter-
course between these cities, either for plea
sure or business, and at rates so moderate
as not to debar those upon whom fortune
has only smiled, and that in no lavish degrece.
The new Steam Ship which is to be the pi-
oneer in the European trade, has Gas YOU are
sware) been in Charleston, and the examine
ton of her gave the greatest satisfaction
She will be used for few trips rs a packet
between New York and this city, and then
will be put on her regular line between
Charleston and Liverpool. Her agent in
Liverpool will be one of the Messrs. Trcn-
holm, of the well established house of John
Fraser, & Co., Of this city.
Our citizens are all alive with the desire to
improve and develope the resources of
Charleston, and have launched out their mo-
ney eely-and the city Council day or two
since, not to be behind hand, subscribed the
sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars,
which, in addition to other subscriptions, Sc
cures the charter of the North Eastern Rail
Road.
But with increasing prosperity comes also
some of the evils and annoyances always the
concomitants of an increase of wealth and
population. Ialludc to Burglars, Pick-pock-
cts and thieves; we have a few of these gen.
try in Jail who will no doubt suffer the pun
ishment of the Law, which they 80 richly
merit; all or nearly all of these depredators
are strangers, although regret to say, there
is one among them, a young man, brought
up and raised in our midst, who is charged
with forgery; it is his second offence, and if
the Law is rigidly enforced against him, he
must die on the scaffold. No svmpatbv
is felt for him for he has defrauded several
not only of money, but has even
gone so far in his recklessness as to send to
various large groceries forged orders for
brandy, Preserves, Wines, &c. His Cake
pould be baked if friend ON. had the sentcn-
cling of him. The truth is, we have no pro.
per place of confinement in our State for
such rogues as these, and after getting few
lashes placed lightly on their backs they are
turned out again more hardened and despe-
rate after receiving their punishment to
commit fresh depredations upon the commu-
nifty. The truth is the Legislature must
leave off empty and senseless discussions of
abstract political questions and turn their at
tention to the real wants of the State, and
among the first of these will be found Pen.
itentinry, where the vicious and criminal nav
be confined, not as now, at an expense to
the State, but as positive profit which will
result from their labor if they are judicious-
