Our desire is to place the EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER

The New State House.

THIS work, which had only progressed 10 the height
of the basement Story, now in process of being razed
The ground. The cause Of this, is the fact Of the
building having already proven grossly defective One
hundred and eighty thousand dollars had been e1pend-
ed. Whether any of it will be recovered from con-
tractors is matter of doubt. 1t will not however be
entire loss under any circumstances the prepared
material hand dressed granite blocks chiefly is Of

Some think that this will make an interesting ques-
tion during The approaching session Of our Legislature.
The people said to be wrathy about in parts.

less though; over. 1t is sadly managed business
perhaps; but we presume hat having gone thus far,

TIE most brilliant rainbow we have ever seen was
visible from piazza at home, Monday afternoon
last. We could but gaze in admiration upon the
beautiful segment, as its hues grew more and more
intense until at length shone out upon the eye with
pure, perfect, henven-born lustre. And remem-
bered that it was first placed in the clouds the "to
ken of covenant" between the earth and its Maker,
between mankind and their God. The covenant was
Of returning love and protection voucsafed after
The mighty terrors Of the Flood which had just swept
off its thousands and tens Of thousands. And we in
ternay prayed that the sublime reproduction of the
Bow OF Promise, which here beamed before u.s. might
prove to be sign from Heaven, that the heavy al,c-
tons Of this fatal year at end, and that
"day.spring from on High" was at hand.

The Public Eealth.

TUE ever-active mind of Judge lO'NEALL, continu:

suggestions, struck upon an idea for the preservation

own proper charges, &C. The members Of the Board,
he thinks, ought to receive the pay as members
of the Legislature, and be required to report, at the
Fall term Of the Court Of Law, their dongs and the
effects thereof. The proposition originates in an
honest and heartfelt zeal for the public good; and
the ends sought be attained are of character that

MANY are the speculalions aloat in the world al
this in regard the rcsul, of the Great East
War One thinks that Russia since her losses in
the Crmea will soon come 10 such terms as will sat-
isfy the Allies Another nagines that these losses
will but fill the Car and his people with an inpaca-
bility that shall henceforth reject all compromises.
There is talk of Poland being set up into an nde-
pendent kingdom, to larass Russia, and of Austria
joining the Alliance OF the Western powers. On the
other hand is supposed that the Gar may offer in
dependence Hungary for the purpose of checking,
or at any rate counteractng, these moves upon the
political chessboard Some speculate that Russia y
finances will become crippled in short time as TO
disable her from supporting those immense Tar:ar ar
miles, While others see mountains of debt rising up
in the pathway of the Allies by of the ver great
cost Of transporting armies 10 distant shore, and sus-
tanning them.in q strange land. One week We hear
that the British Cabinet desirous of peace, AMI

power on the American side Of the Atlantic. The
next wind that sweeps the deep brings inleli-

have the proud empire of the Russas reduced to

column after column is filled, week after week, with

This is about the time, too, when the Road, accord
