We are indebted to this gentleman for copy CT his
speech on the Nebraska bill. Our time has not per.
mitted us to read it, but from the E&tering notices a-
ken Of it, in all quarters believe it all lis friends
could desire. The Washington Union refers to It in
the following complimentary terms: I'VE appropriate
first page to-day to the speech lately delivered in
the House of Representatives by Hon. Mr. Brooks Of
South Carolina. This is the speech Of that talented
gentleman which attracted the special attention, and
provoked the pointed censurc o the organ OF the Abo.
ltonists in this city The reader will have no Difficult
ty in understanding why it was complimented by such
notice from that quarter. lis facts, its arguments,
its appeals and its denunciations carried with them i
power which the watchul and intelligent organ OF alb
ol;tonsm felt the Importance OF meeting and counter
acting That Journal however, could not withhold
from him the tribute of his sh!: and c!oqu"n"" ".icil
all who read the speech will concede to him. Wecom-

been opened, and some magnificent bequests
are found to have been made to public and
charitable institutions in this city. 1t is sta'el
that the sum Of ten thousand dollars has been
given to the Orphan House, ten thousand for
establishing school for the poor at Granite
vile, and thirty thousand dollars to the Charles

College is for the education Of poor young mcn,
to be appointed by his son, Rev S. p. Bovce,
and at his death, by the trustees of the Charles

that in case the school in Gran,eyiIle should
ever be discontinued, the bequest Of that inst-
tuition is to ensuc to the benefit Of the Charles
ton Orphan House. Tie will of Mr.. Boyce
had been in the keeping Of Mr.. Tanning, and
by him was deposited yesterday with the Or
dnary oft this city. The persons appointed to
execute the will are Judge O'Neal, the Rev.

EARTHoUAKE.-Thosc Of our citizens, SAYS
the Georgia Citizen, OF the 18th inst, who in
d9lge i'll late hours, were aroused from their
dreamy >Iumbers, yesterday morning, by two
strong and distinctly marked shocks OF an earth
quake. The morning as quite cool and cou-
Iy, aud there was no perceptibe wind stirring
The Ii st shock occurred about fifteen miu.
n'es after six, aud lasted, we think, about half
minute. The m"st general opinion is that it
came from Il southwest direction 1t was ac.
comanrd by y very loud rumbling noise, and
sharp rafting oil doors, windows and mante
ornaments, that attracted the attention of eve.
rHb"dy 1t could be more aptIy compared to
thousand horse omnibus, with the brake ap.
Piled, rumbling along the streets, than an; thing
else. Ont of doors the trees were violently
shaken, and the equilibrium Of the observer
slightly disturbed.
Tie second shock took place at ten minutes
before seven, and was similar to the other, but
shorter and sliyhter in every respect.
