We give in another column the inaugural address
of Gov AlIston of South Carolina. 1t will be found
highly marked with those we'll known South Caro-
lima characteristics-insolent assumption and over
weeniug selfconceit. Following in the track Of
President Pierce, though with still feebl, sense,
if possible, Of decency and decorum, this Governor
of South Carolina, as il he were our Governor too,
devotes the principal part of bis message to . re-
bukc Of the Northern and Eastern States. These
States he seems to regard as standing toward the
South much in the position of slaves to master.
1T is sad to perceive" Gays our Governor, "thas
"the States of the Eastern and Northern SEC
"tion are diverging more and more from
"their ancient affection and common duty
"to the Southern ard South Western States"
The Eastern and Northern States are thus pre-.
scented as owing "afectiOn" and "duty" to the
South and South West, without the slightest init
nation that the obligation is reciprocal, or that
any affection or duty is owing to them in return.
The entire blssD q the present enlargement of
feeling which @. AIlston recognizes as existing
between the nth and the South is attempted to
be shifted eff upon the shoulders of the North and
East; aid at the very time that the Governor
sings peans to the Union, be threstens the part
of the Shareholders, to dissolve the Union unless
they can be permitted to have their own way.
One might imagine from Governor Auston's style
of irea ing the subject that Massachusetts, hsd no
rght-tLat it was contrary to tho "ancient
fectior, end the "duty" which she, in common
with the other Northern States, owes to the South
to complain of the treatment which her agent, Mr..
Hoar, received at the hands Of the citizens Of
Charleston and the Leeslatute Of South Carolina,
or to tale the least ofense q. the applauses and
concentrations showered down upon Bully Brooks
for his sneskipg, a,sassn-like assault upon Sens-
tor Of Massachusetts, merely for having exercised
the privilege of Senator in speaking his own mind
ard giving ute,ance 10 the sentiments Of the con.
stituancy which be Represented. The Eastern
and Northern Slater, we should imagine
frcm the tone of Gov. Alston's address, have no
right to exhibit Any seDsibility. Kept in check By
their apcieu, sfiection and common duty" they
ore to submit with entire calmIes and decorum to
The reputation Of compromises, to schemes for
strengthening the slave power at their expense and
even to projects for the renewal Of the slave trade
sbTe the South is fully justified, not only in threat
ening rebellion AID civil war; but in breaking cut
into explosions Ike that Of Bully Brooks. BY way

The account Of Walkers operations which ap-
pears in another column furnished BY bis Inspector
OF Customs at San Juan del Sur, who appears TO
have come passenger in the Tennessee, no doubt
puts the best face on his affairs which they possibly
admit Of 1t appears from this account that Costa
Rica is again actively engaged in hostities against
him, and that on the 7th Of November 500 Costa
Ricans took possession of San Juan del Sur.
Homsby, who was stationed at Virgin Bay, four
teen miles distant on the lake, made attempt on
the 9th to drive them out but did not succeed. On
the l2,h Walker arrived at Virgin Bay iron Ora
mazda, with $50 mep and, joining the forces already
there again marched on San Juan del Sur, when
the Costa Ricans retired on Rivss. On the 18th
Walker returned to Virgin Bay, and thence, it
would seem, to Granada, leaving 175 men to hold
San Juan del Sur. On the 18th Walker made
new attempt on Mssaya, about fourteen
miles north Of Granada and the headquarters Of the
main Central American army. On bis march, how
ever, hearing that the transit road between San
Juan del Sur and Virgin Bay was again threatened,
he detached Colonel Jacques with $50 men, who
barricaded themselves at Virgin Bay the best they
could with the wood cut for the steamers. After
a vain attack of two days or more upon Masaya,
Walker retired upon Granada. No longer able to
hold that town, he sent his sick, with the women
and children, to an island in the lake, and himself
retired with his staff to Virgin Bay, leaving General
HeDDiugfen and body Of troops in Granads with
orders to destroy it; but what the result was, or
whether the troops had succeeded in efecting their
escape, was not known at Virgin Bay when the
steamer left for San Juan del Norte, which must
have been ten or twelve days after Walkers ar
rival there.
It would seem from this account that the only
points in possession of Walker at the latest dates
were San Juan del Sur and Virgin Bay, fourteen
miles apart at the two ends Of the road, extending
from the Pacific to the lake. He had also posses
sion of the island in the lake above mentioned, and
the steamer two at his disposal the lake gave
him certain facility of lOcomotiOn and escape.
The naval engagement, formerly reported, took
place off San Juan, and the Costa Rican vessel ap-
pears to have been accidentally blown up. Walker
was not in possession Of Rivas which the New
Orleans accounts represented as having been made
bis capital after his retirement from Granada. He
merely hoped to attack it, provided new recruits
enough shOuld arrive.
The statement of the destruction of Maya
appears to be unfounded. As Walker failed to take
that town, he could hardly have destroyed it.
Neither 10 the destruction Of Granada certain, or
even probable 1t is quite likely that the troops
left behind thu re, under the command Of Gen. Hen
nDgsen, had themselves fallen into the hands of the
Central Americans. II is at all events pretty clear
that driven from pillar to post as be has been, aad
without stOres, provisions, or resources, the posi-
ton of Walker must be sufficiently deplorabe.

hwyer,. And such is the being. end and aim Of
the County Courts.
The heresy that the administration Of justice was
established for the benefit Of the people and not for
that of the lawyers b" been creeping gradually
even into conservative England, and has ct last
taken this most dangerous shape. John Doe and
Richard Roe have been sent to the Parish Union
for several years. After 90 many centuries Of
greatness. one cannot but mourn over the downfall
of those two great names which have thus come to
nothipgness. The fall Of the Stuarts and Of the
Bourbons did but typify and prefgure theirs. Then,
too, the beauty has TO great extent passed away
from the Poetry Of Pleading. Had Hamlet lived to
this dsy be would not have had to wait till lawyer
was knocked ever the sconce with dirty shovel in
churcbyard to morsze over the loss of " bis quid
edits and his outlets, and all the restof Many
lawyer, with bis head on bis own shoulders, may
grieve for the mischief which the uuroosting spirit
of the age hath made among the good old pleas and
repica.ioni, the rejoinders and the surreoinders,
the rebutters and the surrebutters Of his fathers
But these pestlent County Courts are, after all,
the crowniDg plague Of the noble profession Of the
law, in which pleadings are all dispensed within
which the parties manage their own causes-to
which briefs and retaners are scarcely known, and
where costs are but moderate tax for the swift
ness and certainty Of the settlement Of dispute.
We had proposed to ourselves to give our readers
some brief account of these mischievous innova-
tions, but must now defer it to day suddenly to
arrive.

The Hon. Emerson Etheridge, who yesterday
submitted to the House of Representatives an out
spoken and fcrcible resolve deprecating the re-
newal of the African Slave.Trade is aud old fash
toned Tennessee Wbig representing an Old.fash-
ioned W g District formerly Chas H. Wiiliams's,
then Milton Brown's) which first elected him in
1853 without opposition. He opposed the Ne
braska bill uncompIomisiDsly at every stage, and
vas induced to run again by the taunts of the Ne.
braska Democracy that he dare not ate npt to
Justify to he constituents his course on that meas
uIe. He did it, however, and was last year re-
elected after most animated canvass, beating his
Democratic oppOnen. by the close vote of 1852 to
1894. Gen. Scott had received $50 majority in
the District. Mr. Etheridge voted last Winter
with the Anti-Nebraska men for Mr.. Me,cham's
resolve that the Nebraska bill was useless and
pernicious revival Of Slavery agitation. He is
usually silent in tie debates Of the House, but frank
and fearless in opposition to what he regards either
as Pro-Savery or Anti.Slavery demagogism. We
believe be long since resolved no. to run again. but
an attack on his official course may induce him to
rect psider bis determination.

In the SENATE yesterday the protest Of the
Senate of Iowa against the election Of James Har-
Ian to represent that State, was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
After discussion of the claims of Revolutionary
officers, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. ETHERIDGE Of Tenn. created
sensation by the offer Of resolution strongly de-
DOuncing the slave trade, and by implication the
whole sy stem Of Slavery.
Objection was made for the purpose Of throwing
if over the day.
Mr.. JONES OF Tenn was opposed to reopening
the slave trade, but he didn't like to call it such
hard names; he wanted-but the call to order de.
priyed the world Of any present knowledge Of what
he wanted.
Col. ORR of s. c. squirmed badly He wanted
TO say "jDexpedient' instead of "execrable," aud
change a few other words from aquaforis to milk
apd-water.
The House was called to vote upon O motion to
suspend the rules, so that the resolution could be
offered in proper or1er. Only ffty-three voted
"NO" and several Of these hastened to explain
that they did not mean by that to sustain anything
like slave trade. One hundred and forty voted
"Yea."
Then the resolution came up, and call for the
previous question sustained by thirty six ma.
jOrity.
MIR. MCQUEEN Ct S. C. moved to lay the resolu-
ton on the table. which piece Of chyalrc lodging
got II votes to 1877 opposed.
The House then faced the resolution, and it was
adopted by Yeas 1872 to Nays 81.
Mr.. ORR then offered his milk. aud water sim

AL elaborate opinion, delivered by Judge Clerke
at the Special Term of the Supreme Court yester-
day with respect to the proper construction Of the
will of the late Arson G. Phelps, will be found in
anotf er column. Mr.. Phelps died 10 1853, worth
some two millions of dollars, the correct disposition
Whereof according to the terms of the will, it, as is
usual in such cases. the subject of oent litigation.
The Court uphods all the charitable beques.s, ex.
cept that for College in Liberia, as to which it
orders a reference to ascertain Whether any steps
" have been taken for that purpose-whether any
90 thing is likely to be accomplished in relation to
/" the project within reasonable time, and whether
there is likely to be any compliance with the con.
"dition, that one hundred thousand dollars shall
"be raised in this country for the same object"
The Judge thinks that the interests Of hu nanty re-
quiie this provision to be eHectuated, if possible.
The only oher question of special interest to the
public ia, whether paper dated on January 1854
"a moth after the testatOrs death), for 100000,

form of a promissory note, can have that effect.
inasmuch as the instrument in question was with
out consideration. 1t cannot, it is held, be regarded
as contaminated gift inter rirOs or morris caaso,
but as promise to efectuate gif. a. future pc
Rod, and as such not enforceable, either at law or
in equity Some interesting considerations relative
to the justice of the rule of law on this subject are
presented in the opinion, to which we would refer
these who are curious to know how the widow and
children of the testator are treated.
