The Mails.

The time for which a temporary arrangement was
made for the passage of the mails over the South
Carolina Rail Road is now about out. Tonight
will close the ten days stipulated for and far
have been able to hear of definite conclusion
having been arrived at, nor any arrangement made
to take the place of that about coming to close.
The Charleston Mercury of Saturday, states that
Gov Aiken had consented, at the request of the
Mayor of Charleston, to repair to Washington, and
try to avert the catastrophe of entire stoppage of
the mail. The Mercury says truly, that Governor
Aiken is personally known to the Post Master Cen
eral, and enjoys the respect and goodwill OF the adj
ministraton. We believe, with the Mercury, "that
Mr. Aiken will meet, on the part of the Post Mas
ter General with sincere desire to arrange the diff
Guilty, and bound to hope that it will be sat
sfactorily arranged" But we cannot forget that
there are two parties to this affair, and that without
some evidence that the Post Master General will be
met in the same spirit by the other party, we can
have no confidence to sustain our hope Mr.. Aiken
we think might not do amiss if he urged upon the
Rail Road Company some exhibition of the same
desire which is confidently looked for from the Post
Master General
P S. Since the above was in type we have come
nian of Saturday: -
We understand that an agent of the Post Office
Department has arrived to make angement
with Mr.. Caldwell relative to the transportation OF
the mails We have reason to believe, from the fact
the Department has signifed willingness TO settle
the account of the company, and to continue the
contract until the first of January, that something
will be effected, although this will be Objectionable
to the company, who desire to finish Their present
contract which EXPIRES on the LIST July, 1854 but
still there is every to hope there will be an
adjustment of the difficulty.
We find the following in the Charleston papers Of
the 18th inst
COLUMBIA, Nov. 10, 1854.
The difficulty between the South Carolina Rail
road Company and the Postofice Department, with
regard to the transportation of the mails though not
definitely settled, is in fair way of adjustment ir
order 10 give the Department time to accede to the
pending propositions, arrangements have been made
to carry the mails beyond the ten days specified

John Mitchell, in his Citizen, writes the following
words. The views are sound, and like everything
from his pen are forcibly expressed
ut has been to us species of puzzle when we

Our whig contemporaries throughout the State seem
to be particularly exercised upon the subject of the
election of president of the Wilmington and Raleigh
Rail Road Company. MIR. Ashe a Democrat has
heen elected, which is terrible misfortune. and an
awful mixing up of politics with public works. al
though on the other hand the unbroken succession
of whig Presidents for some nineteen years all
right and proper-there was nothing like party in
that. Even the quasi NEUTRAL but really whig and
Know Nothing, paper published at the State Institu
ton for the Deaf and Dumb, the Southern Weekly
Post, deems it necessary TO give currency to palpa-
BILE misrepresentation the subject. 1t says: We
understand that the Hon. w. s. Ashe has been cleo
ted President of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail-
road by the vote of the State The Stock holders
voted for Mr. Wright" Now, as the State voted
very little over ne:fourth of the whole number OF
votes given, it might puzzle plain man to know how
it could have elected Mr. Ashe. If the Post had been
anxious to find out the real state of the ii
has shown itself to propagate statement
it would have discovered that Mr.. Ashe received
votes than any other candidate before the State
voted that of the whole number of votes received
by him, constituting decided majority of all the
votes cast he was indebted to the State for less than
one-haf.
1t would be but right and fair for this Raleigh Pos
to throw off the disguise of neutrality which it as
sumes, and come forth in its true coors. We care
not what the private politics of individuals concerned
with it may be-the paper is anti-democratic. Let i
be openly and manfully, and we will have no OBJ
lection to make,

The Liquor Sellers bond.

Kind reader, have you ever thought
why IL is that the liquor seller is requir-
ed by law TO give bond and security Cor
the prosecution of his businessl The
mechanic, the manufacturer, the farmer,
the merchant, the lawyer, the physician,
al engage in and prosecute their bust
ness without giving either bond or secu-
rity. Bat the liquor seller, in the eyes
Of the law, cannot thus be trusted. The
law comes to him and says, "Sir, your
business Is a dangerous ore, ruinous eff
fects flow from it, wretchedness, want
and vice are its legitimate results, and
therefore you are Obliged to give bond
and security" No other business man
is looked on with so much suspicion,
none other bound up under such penal
ties; none other required to give a bond
for keeping an orderly house. If it is a
good and reputable business, if good re :

one Of the most frightful pheno OF
the peculiar institution that we have

times. The slave, according to the &c
count, struck white man, aud the de-
mocracy Of that region, not waiting for
"justice" to take It's course, inflicted
lynch law. The victim was chained TO
a tree. fagots were placed around him,
while he showed the greatest indiffer-
ence. When the chivaIry had arranged
the pile, In reply TO question ifhe had
any thing to say, he Is reported 10 have
warned oil slaves TO take example by
him, and asked the prayers Of those
around. He then asked for a drink of
water, and after quaiiing il said: "Now
set fire, am ready to 20 In peace. -
When the flames began to burn him, In
his agony he showed gigantic strength.
and actually forced the staple from the
tree aud bounded from the burning mass,
But he instantly fell pierced with rifle /.
balls, and then his body was thrown Ia
to the flames and consumed, to show
that no such being ever existed. Near
ly four thousand slaves from the neigh.
boring plantations were present as at a
moral lesson written In characters oil

made by the magistrates and ministers oil

A wAnNING To BACHELORS.

A morning or two since, cries for
assistance were heard proceeding from
the room Of highly respectable old
bachelor. On bursting open the door
he was found frozen fast in tub of
water! Having been troubled with
bad cold he thought to take bath. in
a tub Of warm water the night before,
and felt so comfortable while sitting
in it that he dropped asleep and did
not awake until morning. He was.
Of course, unable to stir, and was COM
PEELED to call for help. To his great
horror the first person running to his
aid was an old maid, who had felt a
partiality for -- his goose She
supposing he intended joke upon
her, broke into the street again, her
countenance filed with indignation and
wounded vanity, and threw hands
violently about exclaiming. "Of the
hateful villain His continued cries,
however, brought our friend speedy
assistance, when by chopping him out
witha Ratchet, and turning him round
and round, Ikea spit before the fire,
he was soon thawed out. He wishes
us to say that he is now candidate
for matrimony.
