DEAR B.-To give you and your readers
an account Of what transpircs in this great
city, would be herculean task even il prac-
ticable, but a few matters which have come
to my notice, will give me sufficient capital
for short letter. ....
Two medical students had an alteration
in the lccturc-room of the Medical College,
Fourteenth street, on Tuesday evening the
25th ult. Their names are Fl. f.. Bass and
WILL Irwin, both natives of Virginia. The
quarrel originated rs to the ownership Of "a
medical book. Irwin drew bowie-knife
and inflicted several wounds upon the person
of Bass, and the latter had his fingers litter
ally cut to pieces, by clutching the knife held
by Irwin, in his hand. a dangerous ound
was ma dc between the shoulder and elbow
of Bass, which severed three arteries. 9th
cr painful wounds were inflicted, but il is
supposed that none will prove fatal. How
strange that such a triviul circumstance
should produce such strife.
II is known To your readers, that Thoma,
llamblin who has so long been proprietor Of
the Bowcry Theatre, is dead IIambin was

idomctablc energy and perseverance,, as was

Temperance Convocation.

OK Thursday 9th ult in Charleston, on the
occasion of the assembling of the GRIND Di-
vision, there was great Temperance dem
onstration. Mcssrs. T. Y. Simmons, ir., DR..
Gilman, and Judge O'Ncal, delivered address.
es the former on the subject assigned him
viz -" The Pledge" DIR. Gilman" The
Press" and Judge O'Neal "The Law" In
alluding to the Press, DR.. G made the follow
ing remarks -
"The course Of the newspaper press was
commended, rs having been marked by cour-
tesy and liberality towards the Temperance
movement still, the speaker thought that
more might have been done that in many in
stances, in reference to the Maine law Gucs-
ton, there had been apparently exhibited 4
disposition to publish all facts tending TO op
crate against the law, while the other side
had not fair hearing
Now 80 far as we are concerned, We can
didly believe, that any law of such n strin-
gent nature. put into force in South Caro-
lima, would do more to break down the tenn
pcrance cause, than any other measure. In
temperance is social evil No man thinks
when he has taken the first drink of ardent
spirits, that he will become drunkard, and
yet the frequent, habtual indulgence, will
most assuredly, in nine cases out of ten, lead
to ihtcmpcrance, and too frequently drunk
enneSs but, can we enact lawwIich would
prohibit man from taking the first drink,
with any idea that temperance will be pro-
NOTED !! We believe not. We even 90 far
ther. We do candidly believe that when IL
quor is kept on sale in amy community, by
the three gallons, there Is more Of il drank,
than when a man pays his dime for drink.
From this cause---thc three gallons did not
coot much, and when man has that ouanti-
ty ia his possession, he not only drinks more
HIMSELF but treats his neighbors and friends
Sometimes kind of conclaye is entered into
You buy three gallons to-day will buy
three gallons next time.
We most earnestly desire to see temper
ance flourish in our lsnd. We cannot be-
iieve that liquor Is Of any benefit to any one,
and are assured that man is better off when
he does not taste drop; but an anconstitu-
tional and stringent law to check the traffic,
might do more harm than good. We sub
join the remarks of our yalned cotemporary
the Caroliniap, on the same subject

OF the disposition alluded 20, nor have we
