We attended the sale of negroes belonging 10 the
estate CT the late S. Beckman, on the 22d OF las'
month"; and were somewhat astonished at the hIgh
price paid for negroes.
Neg gro men brought from $500 to 81 1000 the great
number at near the latter price. One "a black
smith) brought $I,435.
At hiring which took place here OH the lst inst'
field hands averaged from 81 10 to $3.50, and BLACK
smith 1920 for year.
A negro woman We bad occasion TO purchase the
other day cost us $l 200.
We learn from the Winnsboro' Register that Oh
Monday the Sd instant large sale of negroes was M
made by the commissioner in equity for Fairfield ol',
trict, principally the property of Jacob Gibson G
ceased. These negroes were only tolerably Likely,
and averaged $500 each. The sales made on
credit of twelve months. In one instance, lIEeg
field hand sold for the round sum of 81 $3.50. lm
purchases, however, were principally made by "'

We find in the Mississippian card from Governor
Foote' vindIcating his right to appoint Senator in
Congress after the 4th of March next when the term
OF Mr.. Brooke will expire. Governor Foote assumes
the position that State Executive has the right,
der the Constitution to make Temporary appointments
to the Senate TO fill all vacancies which during
the recess of the Legislature and have not been pro-
Vlded for by the Legislature itself; and that makes
no difference whether the vacancies have arisen by
the regular expiration of of service have been
coused by resignation, death or any unforeseen event.
The only Limitation is, that the vacancy shall have
occurred, in fact before the appointment is made.
