military. lie has seen "the pomp aud cir
cumstance Of glorious war;" and possesses
the true military spirit.
The exercises were grearly enlivencd by
the Jocasse Band, whose soul.stirring mu-
sic was heard ut each of the Drills. Their
gallant Captain, CHRISTOPHER ELLIS, with
six Of his men, accompanied the Colonel,
and both Regiment and spectators are in
dcbtcd to them for much of the interest
and pleasure they experienced during these
Reviews. Both the men and the music of
this interesting Band, will bo long remcm
bered. Success and n happy life TO each
one Of them, is all the harm VIC wish
them.
1t might be supposed that we have some
what overweight the picture in the char
acter we have given Of this Regiment. To
such us think this, we would say, attend
their general Review in October next, and
you will sec for yourselves. We have no
hesitation i'll saying that for military dis
ciplinc, and general intelligence, its officers
its Colonels, Captains, Licutenants, men
and all, will not compare unfavorably with
any Regiment in the State.
Col. ROBERTS, at tho close Of each Drilb
addressed the companies in a few appropri-
ate Notwithstanding upon their per-
formanccs and the qualification he expert
enced in meeting and mingling with them
in that capacity; and at BrcnAHAN's, he
branclicd out, somewhat, in strain, which
was truly eloquent and affecting, upon the
perlous times upon which we have fallen,
and upon what, from all Indications, we
may reasonably expect soon to come upon
us. I[c briefly alluded to the military as
the most efficient arm of service in times
of danger, and cloqucntly cxhortcd his men
to be prepared not only i'll arms, but in
spirit, for whatever might bciall lis.
But, Mr.. Editor, We are making this COM
'nunication too long. y simple allusion,
therefore, TO another circumstance, which,
whether expressed or not, will bc in the
mind Of every reader, will bring Us 20 n
close. The candidates, for the various oili-
ccs, were all out, awaiting themselves, very
properly, Of this fit opportunity Of seeing
and becoming acquainted with their ,"pw-
citizens. That s,,rcl y cannot be wrong " l,ich

together as often as possible, that they may
see, talk, and interchange views with each
other-that they may know as much about

REVIEW OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT SOUTH
CAROLINA MILITIA.

MR. EDlron These Reviews began, pur-
suant to the order published, with Capt
CocmEAS's Company at the Buckstand
August Goth, and closed with Capt. Burn
SIDES at Hodges, September 9th. We had
the pleasure Of attending all OF them en-
ccpt that OF Capt. RonINsoN's Volunteer
Company, which paradcd near Due West
at Capt. CowAS's, August 9th.
These Reviews were, indeed, interesting
exercises, and deserve more prominent no,
tice than that to be given to them by cas-.
ual conversations.
The Colonel Of the Regiment, T. J. Ron
ERTs, was, of course, out, with all the mill
tary pride and spirit for which lie is known
TO be distinguished, and the spirit peculiar
to himself in this respect, was equally con-
spicuous in the Majors of the two Battal.
ions, one Of whom, Lieut.. Col. WILLIAM
CHSKscALEs-so great is his love for the
military - accompanied the Reviews all
round.
The Companies were all out, almost to a
man, and seemed TO vie with each other
Companies and men, as to who could un-
derstand-and do the dutics-go through
the various cvolutons-the best. The ell
tire performances were in keeping with the
well known reputation Of this Regiment
Gen. McDUFFIE used to say that it was in.
ferior to none in the State. Could he have
witnessed the present Rcviews,-driIed as
most of the Companies were, by one Of the
best drill officers in the State, to whom the
General himself used to point, in reviewing
this Regiment, rs one Of its best Captains
Maj. CLINKscALEs-he would have had
no occasion to alter his opinion.
Maj. CLINKscALEs has held Office Is
years. as Lieutenant, IA as Captain, and
rs Major; and, as consequence, has at
tanned TO proficiency in the art which
justly entities him to the position we have
assigned him. Our militia system would
now be estimated very differently, if all the
military officers in South Carolina within
tho last ls years had acted in simila,
manner-held their offices, whether subor
dinate or superior-long enough to have
thoroughly understood their duties, and i'm
parted to their commands the same love
zeal and knowledge which actuated them
selves. The Major drilled all the Compa
nies of bis own, and one or two Of the
lower Battalion, in manner which accord
ed with what every one, who knew hi,
character, expected.
Most Of the companies Of the lower Bat
talon were drilled by tl,eir Major--LuD
low HoDcEs-one Of the surviving mem
fbers Of tho glorious, Palmetto Regiment

nominions and irreparable rcpulsc before
the people.
Not only do the opposition propose to re-
peat the experiment of S24, but they propose
to repeat it with peculiar circumstances of
lndccency and outrage. They not only
aim at the defeat of the unpopular will,
and the obstruction of the legitimate ac-
ton of the Constitution, but they seek to
compass their unlallowed object by coaIi
ton with the avowed enemies of the Union,
and 10y an obstinacy of factious resistance
which must inevitably end in revolution.
The Wig introduces Il paragraph from
the baltimore -fmericon with panegyric
on the character of tho writer. And what
says this "prominent and influential" Wing
of Maryland; this wonderful individual
who "never allows partizan zeal to blind
his Judgment" and who "exprcsscs no
opinions that he has not the best reasons
for believing to be correct and reliable ?"-
In tho first place, he informs the country
that the Black Republicans aciU neuer
cote for Buchanan, nor suffer tic election
10 go into tie Scnute;;" and this is so inn
portant an assurance that it is uttered with
all the emphasis of itulics. In the next
place, lie ailrms une1uvocally, that the
Black Republicans "wILL JOIN THE AMER1-
CANS AND MAKE MR. FILLMORE PRESIDENT; :"
and to invest his revelations with the ut
most importance, he distinctly declares that
his information is derived from the most
intelligent and authentic sources (which
implies that the Black Republicans and
Ame'icans have already concluded an agree
mcnt, and that the existence and aim of
the conspiracy were communicated to the
writer by some person in the confidence of
the coalition.
The article which communicates this
startling information 10 the country, ap-
pcared originally in an influential organ of
the opposition in Baltimore, and was
transferred to the editorial column Of an
Influential organ Of tho opposition in this
city. The inference is, that the scheme of
cccting Fillmore by the aid of Black Re-
publican votes has the sanction and sun.
port Of the Southern wing Of the opposition
party.
This disclosure is most opportune for the
interests of the country. Admonishcd of
u conspiracy TO battle the popular will and
to throw the election Of President into The
House of Representatives. forewarncd of IL
coaliiion between the American aud the
Black Republican parties and Of their de-
termination to tcist IN obnoxious Admins
tration upon the country, the people will
rise in their majesty and intercept the de-
i'lorahle catastrophe; dcplor.Lle indeed,
for though the Union should survive the
terrible CONFUSION, it would survive only to
encounter all the calamtics that an Admin
istr;ltion which is the creature Of coalition
and of sectional anmosity, could contrivc
to infiict upon it, The country has 3ut one
chance Of escape from these inconceivabIe
calamitics. The election OF Buchanan bv
the irresistible voice Of the people, will de-
feat the aim Of the coalition, maintain the
integrity OF the Constitution, and rescue
the Union from violence and anarchy

MEXICO-THE NEW CONSTITUTION

The following is synopsis Of the pro-
posed Constitution for Mexico, now under
discussion i'll the Congress of that Repub-
lie:
The plan Of the New Constitution has
been t;yorabIy received, but it is supposed
various important notifications will be
made before its final approval as the future
organic law Of the republic. The form of
government proposed is that Of federal
union Of the Mexican States. The Consti-
tuition Of the CnitcI States has been copied
throughout; although some of the new
provisions are such as cannot l,c found in
the American. There is to he only one
Legislative body. The President is to be
elected for term OF four years, and mem
oers OF Congress for two years. No one
iii religious orders can hold office; and
federation of religion is guaranteed to all
sects and denominations but the Roman
Apostolic Catholic is to be protected as far
rs is consistent with good policy and the
national sovereignty. The section Which
contains the bill OF rights to be enioyed
hereafter by all citizens, is extremely liberal
and extensive.
Notifications. will he made before the
final adoption Of the Constitution. 1t is
probable that Vice e-Prcsident will he given,
with the duties of presiding over Congress,
and becoming President III the event of a
temporary vacancy, instead of the Chief
Justice, us is now proposed. The article
which declares that no law shall he enacted
impaiFins contracts will also he changed
At the present time, by the Spanish and
Mexican common laws, any civil officer,
while acting by the orders of a superior,
cannot be made personally responsible for
his acts, although illegal, oppressive and
unjust. An article will be introduced 10 abol-
ISL this evil by making all officials response
bic for Illegal acts done by them, even in
the discharge of their official duties, and
thus giving MeXicans the same rights and
protection as those enjoyed in tho United
States.
The decree affecting the property of the
Church was ratified by Congress the day
after its promulg CATION.
Its general scope is to turn the real estate
of tho Church into mortgages, and thus
enable the government to discover the ex.
tent aud value OF all their property. A
tax OF five per cent. is to be paid into the
public treasury upon the value of every
mortgage as it is given. And this, it is
supposed, will amount to many millions Of
dollars in few months. The interest on
eacl! mortgage is to be paid to the Church
in the same manner as heretofore the rent
was paid. But the mortgages cannot be
cancelled, nor can the Church exercise any
right or ownership over this lien except tc
enforce the payment Of the interest an
nually. ~
The Church is further prohibited hcreaf
ter from purchasing or holding real estate
4 and all loans Of money or other bushes.
done by any of that body must be authen
ticated before a notary, who is required
within one week to Inform the proper an
thorities Of the same.
