about the destruction of his Hack Il was, be-
vond doubt q pure mishap. The horses
we're found next morning mile or so off, hav-
ing taken with them the fore wheels of the ve-
hicle. And so endeth the narrative of the con-
nagration of Mcssrs. Ward & Douglass COL
umbia and Edgcfeld Coach.
Since the Drivers complet restoration to his
senses, he states that about opposite our house
his horses took fright at what seemed to be a
movable fire in the road, IA regular Jack with
a.lantern I'VE fancy,) and ran out of the road
upon bank Of earth, thereby up-setting the
Coach. The lamps are supposed to have been
filled with Camphine, the furious burning of
which extended to the combustibles of the
Coach and soon threw the old establishment
into very bright process of spontaneous COM
bustion. We regret losing our Columbia mail
and are sorry for the accident, on the Contrac-
tors and Drivers account; but the real loss we
imagine has been but small.-EagefelH I'D.

A STRANGE MIs-uAr.-The Coach which is
run by Messrs. Ward & Douglas between Col
umbia and Edgefeld, was on Saturday night
last destroyed by fire. The accident occur,
red some three miles from this place, and
nearly opposite our own front-gate; we can
therefore speak very knowingly on the sub
ject.
About half past nine o'clock that night (t
was dark and stormy one) we happened to
be standing in our back plaza, and looking cup
the Columbia road, y as we say on our side of
the Creek. The bright lights in the distance
attracted our notice. In moment more we
observed that they were in motion aud at once
recognized them as the two liz ghters of the old
Columbia Coach. We watched them until
within hundred yards of our house, when we
turned in and soon fell asleep. About one hour
thereafter, we were aroused by the shouting Of
our man George, who announced in very excl
ted tones, that carriage or something Of the
kind was burning up in the big road We
were startled, and jumping out Of bed, rushed
into front stoop Of our domicil, with the house
houl at our heels to ascertain the true state OF
the case And there sure enough was !; bril-
liant fire lighting up the scene. BY this
time George, with some other boys, had reach
cd the burning vehicle, and it WAS asccrtaincd
to be really the Coach aforesaid. 1t was then
nearly consumed. The Mailbag and contents
were entirely burned up, we suppose. FIVE
are not mistaken, the mail lock was picked up
afterwards from amidst the remains Of the We
hcle The Coach, when discovered thus, was
on its side, complete upset, while the unlucky
Driver lay some little distance off, apparently
lfeess After long continued friction in a
warm room, we succeeded in restoring him to
partial sensibity, but could obtain from him
no account of the cause of the diaster. True
to his trade, Ills first call upon reasons return

'Ehr sDRsbIic DOfnEiIi.

We lave lcruscd the speech of Mr.. Daw.
son, Of Pennsylvania, delivered in the House of
Representatives in favor of the bill making
sratuity to all incomers of Il portion of the
public lands As this gentleman appears to
be the Cyrop pheous Of the land. giving party in
Congress, we have examined his argument
with attention. Some Of the analogies he in
troduces, an illustration of the policy of ma
king a gratuity of the public lands, would be
applicable if their inducements were absent,
for the speedy settlement Of our national do
main, as they were when the European States
invited settlers to the territories which they &C
Quired by conquest in the New World
But as the incentives to emigration and settle
ment are sufficient y active without any increase
of the stimulantS as regards the United States,
the comparisons, therefore, which Mr.. Dawson
has, as he thinks, fortified his conclusions, in
the example of European governments, have
no application to the question in hand.
Mr.. Dawson dwells with much emphasis, on
the additional value which the sections retain
ed by the government will derive from the
settlement and quarter sections which the bill
proposes to distribute gratuitously, on the sole
condition of settlement and cultivation within
five years. Now, who can contend that a pro-
spectivc enhancement in the value of the seye-
raj sections forms an adequate motive for lc-
gislating those lands away, to foreigners, in oP-
position to the great princi pies Of equity which
should govern their distribution among the
members of the Union, or their avas, if paid
into the treasury. five are to be generous to
foreign emigrants, before we are ust to our
people, then q scheme for dividing the public
domain into quarter sections might have some
recommendation, on the principle that we are
giving extension 10 our free principles of gov
ernment to the down. trodden people of Eu-
rope. But the domain is the fruit of the joint
expenditure Of blood and treasure by all Sec
tions of the Union. There is no equitable right
ia Congress to make Off a gratultous distribu-
ton. 1t being the common property of all the
States, disposing of it without price would be
glaring injustice.
There is yet another view of this subject that
reg ards the equality of the States under the
constitution While the tide of population
from Europe and the old settled States is di-
rccted to those lands which invite settlement,
without the use of slaves, under a system Of
sale, the South can have no cause of complaint
if this should result in inequality in the repre-
sentation of the respective sections. But Con-
gress, regarding the spirit Of the Constitution,
has no right to agravate that inequality by
scheme Of bounties to emigration, which do
nation ofthe public is substantially. TO stm.
ulatc emigration resulting in such conse-
quence is not the office of the national legisla
ture.- Chas. Eoe. NewS.

CoTroN-The New York Journal of Com
merce furnishes an accurate and interesting ia
BILE showing the distribution of the cotton sup
ply for the last ten years, expressed by the
per centage. Of the total supply including
crop and stock of 1923, Great Britain took
5l.7S per cent; France 1872; North of Eu-
rope $40; other foreign ports SIT; United
States 20.59; burnt and stock on hand 4.O4.
For the last ten years the average per year
has been, Great Britain 52.2O; France 1911;
North of Europe 3.57; other foreign ports
$50; United States 1885; burnt and stock
on hand 5.S7.
The year ls47 is cited as showing the Geei<y
ded effect of high bread prices upon cotton con-
sumption. In that year England, suffering un.
der famine, took 6 per cent. less of the supply
than it had the year before, and 7per cent. less
than the year following; while the United
States, which were abounding in plenty and
with full harvests, profting by the high price Of
breadstuffs, consumed half the quantity taken
by Great Britain, and had a stock on hand
equal to II l-2 Of tho whole supply.

GEORGIA AND THE NEBRASKA BILL-The
following resolutions were adopted unanimous.
ly in the House, and with only three dissenting
votes in the Senate:
The State of Georgia, in solemn convention
having firmly fixed herself upon the principles
of the compromise measures of 1850, relating
to the subject ofslavery in the Territories Of
the United States, as a final settlement of the
agitation of that question, its withdrawal from
the halls of Congressand the political arena,
and its reference to the people of the territories
interested therein; and distinctly recognising
in those compromise measures the doctrine
that it is not competent for Congress to impose
any restrictions, as to the existence of slavery
among them upon the Citizens moving into
and settling upon the Territories Of the Union,
acquired or to be hereafter acquired but that
the question whether slavery shall or shall not
form part of their domestic institutions, is
for them alone to determine for themselves and
her present Executive having reiterated and
affirmed the same policy in his inaugural ad-
dress:
BE it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Georgia, in
General Assembly met That The Legislature
of fGeorgia, as the Representatives of the people
speaking their will, and expressing therfeelings
have mad their confidence strengthened in the
settled determination of the great body of the
Northern people to carry out in good faith
those priciples, in the practical application of
them, to the bill reported by Mr.. Douglas
from the Committee on Territories in the Uni.
ted States Senate at the present session propo-
sing the organization ola territorial government
for the territory o Nebraska.
And be it further resolved, That our Senators
in Congress be, and they are hereby instructed
and our representatives requested to vote for,
and support those principles, use all proper1
means in their power, for carrying them out
either as applied to the government of the ter.
riory of Nebraska: or in any other bill for
Territorial government which may come be.
fore them.
Resoived further, That his Excellency the
Governor be requested to transmit a copy of
these resolutions to each of our Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Stephens Resolution:
RESOLVED 6yM General assembly and State
Of Georgia, That opposition to the subject of
slavery is regarded by the people of Georgia,
as hostility to the South and that persons who
partake in such opposition are unfit to be rec
ognized as component parts of any party or or
ganization not hostile to the South.
