sheriff's Election in Charleston.

Col. JONI Z. CAREw has been elected
Sheriff Of Charleston, by a majority Of
about 500 votes, over his opponent, Col.
Kaunapeaux. Col. c. had the support Of
the American Parry, his opponent being
a Roman Catholic. Speaking oflhe elec.
ton the Charleston Standard, Of the
18th, says:
When the result was known, quite a
large party assembled before the office OF
the Ereni'ag NeDs, and raising Col. Gun
ningham, the senior editor, aloft, with the
folds Of tho star-spangled banner about
his shoulders, they called upon him for q
speech. He congratulated his party upon
success, but sold them they must show,
by their conduct. that they were worthy
Of it, and that it expressly become them
to indulge in no unseemly demonstrations.
With this little show Of exultation, all
feeling seemed to subside, and in the best
humor possible, every person went about
his business. An exhibition Of fireworks
was expected in the Citadel Green, in hon.
or Of the occasion, but the evening was SO
untavorable it was not attempted.
The political force Of this result will
hardly be estimated properly. 1t will
doubtless be regarded as triumph Of the
American Order; but it would be hardly
safe to say that they alone had carried the
election. There were nearly 1000 more
votes cast for Col. Carew than is claimed
by the party. But il may be taken as
an evideece Of the fact, that with the
Know nothings on one side, and the for.
eign vote upon the other, the conservative
vote Of the city is at present with the lat
ter; and to this extent, at least, it may be
taken as test Of the American sentimen,
Of the district.

The Charleston Mercury.

We fully agree with the Newberry
Minor, in the following opinion of this
staunch southern Journal. The Mercury
is, without doubt, one Of the most ably
conducted journals in the United States,
"The Charleston Mercury, in beginning
a new volume, has commenced change
in its business department. Hereafter the
cash will be required from all new sub
scribers from the country. This is, no
doubt, the best policy for the press gene.
rally, and we are glad to sec the leading
papers Of the State adopting it.
The Charleston Mercury deserves well
the patronage ola Southern community
l. is of the right stamp in politics; a
faithful observer of the course of events,
and fearless and able defender Of South
ern Rights and interests. If the whole
South were animated by the tone aud
spirit which pervades its columns, it would
not be long before the spirit of fana,icism
would be rolled back from her borders
into the caverns of darkness whecce il
came.

Our Next Governor.

Notwithstanding the political animosi-
ty entertained, by many in the State, to-
wards the gentleman whose name we
mention in connection with the Goberna-
toral chair, We honestly think South Car
olina would not regret her choice, if he
be elected to preside over her dcstinies
for the next term. We nominate the
Hon. b. F. PERRY as our next Cover
nor.
No man in the State has done more for
tho State. Men may cry out against him,
and treason may be echoed far and near,
but there is no treason in Major Perry.
We would much rather sea sensible,
good common sense union man, Cover.
nor Of the State, than some hotheaded,
rabid secessionist, who would secede from
the Union at any and all hazards.
We are satisfied, from the past public
life Of Major Perry, that when our griey-
ances from our northern brethren become
too burdensome, he would be one of the
first to seek redress in some way. News.
papers, and broken down politicians, take
much pleasure in villifying and abusing
him, and for whati Because he is an
honest man! Because, forsooth, he de:
clares his opinions openly and fesrlessly
he is stigmatisei as an enemy to State.
Rights! Many public men in South Car.
olina coincide in the opinions Of Major
Major Perry, but are afraid to expires,
these opinions. This fear is occasioned BY
the erroneous views inculcatei in The
minds Of ths public by prejudiced news
papers.

Court Week.

The extra session Of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas, commenced its session here on
Monday last, Judge MUSRoE presiding.
There have not been as many persons
present as at our regular terms. Ne hear
Of no case Of any great Importance. The
time seems TO be pretty much occupied
with land cases. We presume the great.
er part Of the week will be occupied.
Our country friends give us very favora-
