We copy the following from the
Washington correspondence Of tho
Charleston Mercury:
"Yenr townsman, Mr.. Trescott,
passed though here and spent a
day; but receiving instructions from
MIR. Everett forthwith to join the le-s
CATION at London, has proceeded
promptly to do go. His appoint
mcnt was highly fattering, and
'wcll deserved, his merit being DC
that kind which does not often
meet with recognition in these STIR
ring days, being more theoretical
than practical in his turns. The apsS
pointmont is, under some ,circum.
stances, a highly responsible one. IN
the event Of tho death or absence Of
the minister, he has to perform his
functions. Mr.. Trcgcott'a train.

Fhas been, OF late, a very percepSibla&
change in the feeling towards South
| Carolina and her children. There
seems now a disposition to do both
justice, and make for previous nm
charitableness. Several South Car.
olinians are spoken of in connection
with the Cabinet, and other high po-.
sitions. The delegation here, in
both branches, sustains the charac-
ter of the State, and it is a source Of
much regret to many Of US that wes
are to loose the service of some Of
them after this term. Mr.. DeSaus.
sure has sustained himself with sig.
nal ability, and it was trying po.
sition which he was called on to- gas.F
sumo at such short notice. Mr.,
Woodward's loss will also be felt, for.
his authority on all constitutional
| points is acknowledged. Mr.. Burt,
might, if he had been chosen, proba.
bly, have been filling the Speak:
er's Chair--and to speak in Just
terms Of praise Of the head and
heart of Wallace, would be utterly
supcrtluous in South Carolina, where
his private worth and public ser--s
vices are so we'll known. The sue.
ccssion, no doubt, will be worthy
but ono shall miss those familiar
faces. The old habit in South Car,
olina, Of retaining in office those
servants who have proved worthy Of.
it, will give support and insure q
return of tho remainder of tfeS
delegation. 1t is but an act of SIM
plo justice to say thus much of tho
delegation for they deserve it,
Whether you will retain Senas
tor Butler in the service Of
tho State beyond the Ides of March,
many think will depend on himself
and moro than one of the delegation
are suspected to be in the samo
category. But Of this it may not
be delicate or expedient to say too
much. But nQHs ue'rons. :}
