YORkVILLE, S. G.
THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER -, 1856.
SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.

COLUMBIA, December TO-
Your Corresponding Editor having left town to as
sista friend in the very important matter of taking
wife, at his instance and in his stead will endeav-
or to give brief report of the proceedings in either
house to-day.
In the Senate, the Report Of the Committee on
Federal Relations, on that part of the Governor S
Message which relates to his action in reference to
the Resolutions transmitted by the Governor of Mas
sachusetts, came up for consideration 1t presented
very delicate question, and to render it still more
embarrassing it was understood that his Excellency
would resign if his action disapproved Of. The
discussion exhibited something ofthe feeling which
might be expected under these circumstances; but
the matter was finally disposed of by adopting the
Report and superadding resolution affirming the
approval of the Legislature of the Governors ac-
ton Enough has been said and done to prevent the
recognition of this action as precedent whilst at
the same time any thing like censure of the Cover
nor's course has been avoided.
In the House. the day was engrossed by the speech
es of Mr.. Cunningham, Of Charleston, and Mr. To-
bin, of Barnwell, on the Electoral Question. Both
of the efforts were highly crcd;table, but unfortu-
nately very lengthy 1t is evident that the House is
growing impatient under this protracted discussion
all being satisfied that it cannot effect or modify the
opinions of single member upon the floor. The
minds of al are fully made up. The general I'M
preston is that the bill which has passed the Senate
(Chesnuts billy will finally be adopted by the House
1t is by no means acceptable to majority, but will
be taken az temporary adjustment.
The Separate Appeal Court Bill, which was de-
fcatcd in the House on Saturday, was to-day taken
up for reconsideration The vote was very close on
Saturday and the friends Of the measure proposed,
if the opportunity were allowed them to move Ger
tain amendments which would make it less excep-
tionablc Great interest seems to be felt in the sue
cess of the measure Icy the older and more expcren-
cad members of the Bar aud if. they argue, the
business of ths country can be mere speedily and
more satisfactorily transacted it certainly should be
adopted by tAe Legislature without regard to the cS-
pensc it maS Involve. Bat as to this lawyers and
Judges themselves disagree; and when they differ,
who shall decide

Root AND SHOE POLISH.

We have been presented by one of the manufac'
turers with box of EVANS and WooDwARD's "Boo'
and Shoe Polish" After fair trial we are prepar'
ed to pronounce it very superior article. The on
ly drawback we see to its being brought into general
usc is that it is San entire Southern production. -
Our people are so accustomed to the belief every
article of use must hail from Yankee land they Will
be slow to believe it genuine. Ordinary bar soap
that can be purchased from any of our merchants al
ten cents bal as soon it receives the magic touch
of some Yankee swindler, becomes Immensely Vaiua
bic, and he finds, quick sales and long profits from
the gaping crowd that so eagerly flock around him.
to the tune of twenty-five cents plug an inch square
This Boot and Shoe Polish can lay no claim to the
distinguished merit of being brought from ''dray
deowa East nevertheless it is ofsuperor quality.

For the Yorkville Enquirer.

Messrs. Editors: Allow ME small space in the
columns Of your paper, to lay before the public the
nerits of an examination which took place at Union
Male Academy, on Friday the 7th instant. This
school is under the auspices of JOHN B. PANKEY,
Esq. If had known nothing of him as Teacher,
this examination, affording such striking commen-
tary on his thorough and complete system of in
struction would have been sufficient to establish for
him on enviable reputation The results of his
mode of teaching, were evidenced throughout the
entire examination. The students in every depart
ment acquitted themselves in manner highly cred
table, and to those who present and witnessed
their performance it was the best possible enconium
that could be passed upon the school.
As soon as the regular examination had conclu
ded the large crowd in attendance was escorted to a
table on which was spread an excellent Pic Mic, fur
nished by the fair ladies of the neighborhood At
ter they had sufficiently regaled themselves with the
good things placed before them, the audience were
entertained for short time with the delivery of
cral select speeches We were gratifed to see that
this important accomplishment to the scholar had
not been neglected.
1t should be source Of graduation to the Trus-
tees and Patrons of the school that they have secur-
ed the services of such accomplished teacher as
Mr.. PANKEY. He is ripe scholar, and good dis
cplinarian, erncing jealous devotion to his call
ing, the most dignifed and honorable in which man
can engage-the mental aud moral training of our
youth. With such "schoolmaster's abroad" good
results must follow and the education of the mass
es subject which has so long and fruitlessy occu-
pied the attention of our Legislature, and which is
now becoming the sentiment Of the State will soon
become fixed fact. If our Legislature is determin.

twenty years ago, has worked out revolu-
ton in the New York press which has placed
it so far in advance of the journalism of every
other city in the Union, that there is no prob
ability of any of them overtaking US for twen-
ty years to come. The Herald, as the pioneer
in this great newspaper reform, has been, and
continues to be, so amply sustained by an in
telligent community, as to justify extra expen-
ditures for early and exclusive intelligence
which, twenty years ago, would have been
regarded fabulous and foolish. Onward is
