of the stubborn fact that we : ore one year

hour when our last New Years salutatory was penhed
1t is an important me and an appropriateseason for
reflection and sober thought. We eesire not to be
prosy, for it is no time for sentmentalties or vain
abstractions It's the the time for practical, everyday
honest reflections. The record of the deceased year
has been made up forever, and it must be met and
answered. What we have done, or have not done, Or

Gloomy Condition of tho Army.

A letter from Constantinope, dated Nov.
Goth, says:
The boat from Crimea has arrived, but
without any army mail. We have intelligence
however, from the camp up to the 18th. No
firing, beyond an occasional shot had taken
place for three days. In fact, all active ope.
rations were suspended. Sir De Lacy Evans
has resigned his command and come down
here i'll.
The writer of the letter says:
With regard to the hutting of the troops, |
am sorry to say, that the prospect seems rath
gloomy, as no foresight has been shown in
the matter, and everything retains to be done.
The order for the tools with which to construct
this large number ofbudings is dated the 18th
Of November and WAS not received i'll Constan

South Carolina Banks.

The Montgomery, Ala. Mail says: Intelligence
was received here yesterday that notes on the Banks
of Camden, Cheraw and Georgetown, South Carolina
were no longer redeemed in Charleston. This news
created some dstrust among bankers here, and some
of them in consequence, reject the notes not only Of
the institutions named but Of aU interior South Caro-
lima Banks This is suicidal policy. There is not
even rumor that these notes are not redeemed at
their own counters Until then, it is creative of unne-
cessary distrust and promotive of very bad conse:
quences to reject them"
To this tho Charleston Courier replies: "We are
deeply indebted to tho Mail for its prompt defence of
Banking institutions, and can assure it that wo
have every reason to believe they are beyond suspi:
con Tho stockholders are liable to double the amount
Of their subscriptions and there is no instance we be-
licvc record Of any bill holders ever having suffered
from the failure of bank in this State, consequently
the citizens Of other States need have no fear relative
to the prudence ofaccepng Of any of our promises TO
pay. The notes of our interior banks are taken irec-
ly not only at the banks in this city, but by our c-
zcns throughout the State"

Munifcent Donation.

We gratiGpd to record the pleasing fact, that
George. W. Williams, Esq, Of the firm Of Hand Will
iams and Wilcox, of Charleston, has donated the
handsome sum o: tre thousand dollars to the Woford
College, the annual interest Of which it is intended
shall bc appropriated to the education and support
of one or more students, to be selected by the South
Carolina Conference and who looking to the work
Of the ministry. What noble act and who can esti-
mate the amount Of good which that donation may
accomplish The great day alone may reveal the
fruits of that effort How much better for those who
have the means to make such investments; they must
always pay, with large interest. Tho Charleston
Erenng News in uoticingthis benefaction says: We
agree in opinion wic the editor of the Chronicle and
Sentinel that such beneiaction made during the life
time of the donor is of far greater utility than if placed
among testamentary bequests for he is able to see
that proper application is made Of his Donation instead
as is often the case being made matter Of legal contro
versy, from difference in the Interpretation Of wills"

BoUSDARY Question: State of Florida
and the United States are parties in a case of
disputed boundary which Florida has with
Georgia. Florida contends that the true line
separating her on the north from Georgia is
one established by British commissioners in
1868, Immediately after the trcaty of peace
This line begins at the junction Of the Apalach
icola and Oyeechee rivers, and extends to the
head of the st. Mary's. The point in dispute,
is where is the head ofthc ST. Mary's? Geor
gia claims a line thirty miles south Of that as
serted to have been established in 1868. The
district in dispute, hitherto held BY the United
States and Florida, contains 100000 acres,
part of which has been sold and part of which
is now in market as public lands. If the
Claims of Georgia shall be sustained, the lands
unsold will he passed to Georgia, and the Gen
eraI Government will be obliged to be REIN.

The following information, as relates to the
internal state Of Mexico, is derived from an
authenticate source. Affairs in that country
still present a condition Of great dis.r"otioo.'-
While it's ruler pretenls to retain his position
by submission to the popular will, his rcSric-
tons on the Press, and even on speech, arc nm
relaxed, while heavy penalties are threatened
agains: all who communicate any intelligence
unfavorable TO tie central army. That ilsur.
gents, as they are called, are active and in no
ton in most of the Northern Departments, and
particularly in Alchoacan and Guerrero, ON
the Pacific, admits OF no doubt. Alvarez thus
far, has been triumphant in maintaining the in.
dependence of the latter, and in keeping open
the port of Acapulco, free both for ingress and
egress, and conducive to Il more liberal cum
merca intercourse than the central govern
ment admits. 1t is through tie latter only
that any information can be gained publicly,
and the truth is more inferred from the cIag.
gerations of what is permitted to he pub.
lished than from the promul CATION Of what is
desired to be known. On one day at Puebla
there were salyos of artilleries for victories
said to have been achieved ut Morillio by the
Central over the Insurgent forces. The next
day whispers were circulated among the con,
cealed friends of the latter to the reverse, and
the report is that the Central Government ad.
mits that it lost general in the affair, but at a
cost of 200 men to the opposing rebels The
latter, it seems, have adopted the guerilla mode
| of warfare, that which is most dangerous to
those who keep embodied, and contend for po.
sitions Hence when the insurgents attack and
practice on its principles of warfare,
"That lie who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day"
the central occupying force claim victory,
though they mag have had the worst ofthe bat.
tie. Valdemar and his associates Garcia and
Chrespetan have been reported as annihilated
at Victoria and Montery; but the next intelli'
gence is, that they have re-embodied and again
! threatening some other place. So on the whole
the Revolution is progressive, and may posi-
bly, soon assume head too formidable to be
resisted by the central power. That there is
much disquietude at the Palace is evinced by
almost every decree emanating from that quar-
