Report OF Military Committee.

The Committee on the Military, to whom was
District, residing in the 4Gth Regiment praying
that they may be attached to the Union Light In
rautry Company of the 34th Regiment, S. G. NJ
and also the counter Petition of the officers of the
4Gth Regiment, beg leave to
REPORT
That they have considered the same. They
find that number of persons residing within the
territorial limits Of the 46th Regiment Of York
District have been doing laty IN the "Union Light
Infantry" n volunteer company attached to the
34th Regiment; that this state Of things COM
mcnc2,l in the greater convenience of doing duty
in the 18th Regiment; that it iginatcd at least
twenty years ago, and has never been questioned
until acly; that the Union Light Infantry is one
Of two Volunteer Companies attached to the 18th,
and would probably 90 down without recruits
from the 4Gth: that the Beat Companies Of the
4Gth aro not reduced below the point required by
law; and, that this also has two good Volunteer
Companies Under these circumstances, your
Committee can see no valid objection to the prac-
tice which has prevailed for the last twenty years
In opposition to the continuance OF this indul-
eence it is urged by the officers Of the 10th Regl-
men that it leads to the decentralization of the cit
izen by inducing illegality in voting. If such was
the result of it, your Committee think it praise
worthy in the officers of the 10th to eadeavor to
arrest it. In military elections, officers and men,
bcrs of the 'Union Light Infantry" attached to
the 3ith Regiment are entitled to vote in that
Regiment 10 which 'they belong" and no where
else But it does not appear that special Act is
necessary to sanction the practice which has pre-
VAILED, and to allow expressly persons residing in
one Regiment TO join Volunteer Company in ono-
thcr; provided the provisions Of the act of lS4l,
in reference to the number necessary in Beat Com
panies is not thereby violated.
Your Committee therefore ask to be discharged
from the further consideration of the subject.

S5. An Act to alter and amend the Judiciary
system Of the State.
This measure was so altered and amended by
the Senate as to present ar entirely new face
The sect".s providing for a new Circuit, new
Judge and Solicitor and o Encouragement Of the
Circuits were stricken out and others inserted
changing the time of holding tie Courts on the
Eastern Circuit only, adding Georgetown to the
Charleston Circuit restricting the jurisdiction of
the City Court of Charleston to cases arising un-
der the Ordinances of the City, and giving Char
lesion four terms of the Court of Common Pleas
and Sessions instead of two formerly the City
Court had jurisdiction incases rightly belonging
the Circuit, and thus divided the Iabor.) As this
arrangement will oblge one of the Judges to be
on the Charleston Circuit while the Court of Ap-
peas is in session, the Act provides further that
the Appeal Bench shall consist Of any FIVE instead
of six Judges. 1t is believed that this arrange
mcnt will answer the present purpose; it does not
interfere with the other Circuits, meets the wishes
of the Eastern country, aad thus offenis no one;
and, last but not least, involves no additional ex-
penditure. The amendments were agreed to by
the House, without alteration.

''Let not your heart be troubled"
With rising doubts and fears;
A pure and lofty trust in God
Will dry your bitter tears.
The current of your grief so deep
Pour forth to Him alone
He'll to your wounded spirit give
A peace you have never known.
"Let not your heart be troubled"
Though earthly joys are fed;
The loved ones of your early home
Lie slumbering with the dead
Strange faces gather round thee
No kind familiar tone
Come soothingly to cheer you on
Your path through life so lone.
"Let not your heart be troubled;
Though dark the future seem,
Bright sunbcams of the morrow
May DER your pathway CLEAN.
Tinged be your every thought and deed,
With purity whilst here,
And God will shield you through each ILL.,,
Dispel each anxious care.
Let not your heart be troubled
Thus spake the Son of God
Unto His favoured chosen few,
Whilst on our earth He trod.
Oh may that Saviour's spirit-yoice
Woo you from sin and strife,
Causing your weary soul to find
ssIn Him Eternal life" B.

Wessrs. Editors Your correspondent under
date of December 9th, in speaking of that portion
of the Governors Message which refers to the re-
vival of the Slave trade, and the request of the
special committee who have it in charge, of leave
to sit during the recess of the Legislature, is pleas
ed to use this language:-
"The debate really involved no expression of
opinion as to the expe'liency or propriety of re-
opening the Slave-trade ; and the vote approving
the recommendation of the Committee, was given
distinctly on the ground of courtesy to them and
| to the Governor, and of correct regard for the
weghty import of the matter under consideration.
to the policy recommendation the Message, think
the vote giving time to the Committee emincntly
proper Mcssrs. Chambers and Moore voted in
the affirmative; and Mcssrs. Black and Whyte in
the negative"
The undersigned, unwilling to be forestalled by
the opinion Of correspondents, beg leave to judge
for themselves as to the merits Of the case, and
probably had rs good an opportunity Of knowing
for what they voted, as had your correspondent.
Whatever Importance may be attached to the
matters, they are unwilling that the subject of
the revival Of the Slave-trade should be left an
open subject, to divide anil distract the people of
the State, and form nucleus around which the
dscontcntcd and disappointed may rally. IF the
question is important, the greater the necessity
and reason for speedy settlement Of The whole.
