WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY.

This gallant corps, of Charleston, are making
the necessary arrangements for visit to the Cow
pens battle-ground, in the third week of the pres
ent month. They will arrive at Laurensville, says
the Herald, on Thursday the 18th, and will pro-
ceed next morning on their march to Spartan
burg.
"The Rev. Samuel Gilman, Chaplain, several
honorary members and invited guests, will accom-
pany them. Reaching Spartanburg on Saturday,
they will remain there over Sunday, and march
out to the Battle Ground on Monday An oration
will be delivered next day by member of the
corps, and other interesting ceremonies will take
place. of which we shall speak more fully at anoth-
er time. On Wednesday they will take up the
line Of march for Greenville, aud from there, by
Railroad, home.
"The Company will carry their famous Revolu-
which has been, for many years, in their keeping,
having been presented to the corps by the widow
Of Col. William Washington, who carried it 80
gallantly at the head of his Cavalry, at Eutaw
Springs and Cowpens.
"We trust that this, the first visit of the Wash
ington Light Infantry to the mountain Districts,
will be satisfactory to them in every way, and add
to their already enviable reputation, at home and
abroad.
"Unfurl that glorious standard,
Which at Eutaw shone so bright,
And, like dazzling meteor, swept
Through the Cowpens' deadly strife"

lation estimated at two hundred thousand. There
are about ten thousand Indians, and the rest are
chiefly mixed-what we would call quadroons.
The regular army is very small-two hundred men
but there is q militia force Of five thousand.--
We are told that the latter is good for nothing
That remains to be proved. The Presidents elect
cd for six years. San Jose is the capital and has
thirty thousand inhabitants. The chief seaport is
Punta Arenas, on the Pacific. Costa Rica is the
only Central American State that has paid its
debts and has balance on the right side of its
cash book The source of its wealth is the culti-
vation Of coffee, which is shipped chiefly to Europe
from the port above named. There is large
French and German population which is inimical
to Walker.
The declaration of war came from Costa Rica,
and in two days after its reception at Granada,
Colonel Schlessinger, of Cuban notoriety, was en-
route to invade Costa Rca, with rife battalion
numbering three hundred men. As there is no
Nicaraguan navy at present, the operations must
be carried by land, and at last accounts Schles
singers troops had already crossed the frontier.
Nicaragua is pretty safe from invasion by Costa
Rica as there are but two available roads, and
these wind through narrow passes, which could
be defended bya very small number of determined
men against almost any force that could be
brought against them. 1t seems probable that if,
as We are told, the Costa Ricans made no resis-
tance to Schlessingers troops they intend to fall
back upon San Jose, and defend it to the last. 1t
is supposed that Walker will receive large rein
forcements from California and New Orleans, and
that he will take the field in person, and march
direct for San Jose, which is about ten days jour-
ney; but as the road winds through three chains
Of mountains and is chiefly through the enemy's
country, the commissariat must be supplied for
three weeks at least. The statement that French
man-ofwar had arrived at Putna Arenas, to
to assist the Costa Ricans, is contradcted by this
arrival. fit were the fact it would annoy Walk
er to great extent. Itwould prevent him from
operating by sea- in case he should get transporta-
ton, and during three or four miles of his land
march his troops would be under the ships guns.
The democratic party in Nicaragua have received
the declaration of war with exceeding joy, and
Walkers Napoleonic promptness seems to have
delighted his friends and frightened his enemies.
No doubt he will further follow the example Of the
great Corsican by making the Costa Ricans pay
the expenses of the war, and something handsome
besides.

BETHEL PREsBYTERY.

We are indebted to one of the members in at
tendance upon the meeting of Presbytery, last
week. in Unionvlle for the succint yet satisfacto.
ry account of the proceedings which we have in
serted in another column Of this issue. The &C
ton of that body in reference to the contemplated
Union with the Independent Church is especially
to be mentioned. As one who has constantly and
from earliest associations entertained warm
sympathy with all that pertains to the well-being
Of the Independent Church, we hail with sincerest
pleasure this manifestation of true Christian fell
lowship, and We venture to express the convic-
ton that it will be received in the same spirit
and in good faith reciprocated Almost the same
in creed-one in name, in purpose and in heart,
we can see no reason why these Churches should
remain apart; and we earnestly believe that
proper exercise of Christian charity-a becoming
spirit of forbearance and mutual concession-will
in the end attain a consummation SO devoutly to
be wished for.
We are also gratifed to learn that the Presbyte-
ry continues to entertain lively interest in the
success of the Female College. The Agent, Rev.
Mr. Erwin, has thus far met with fine success in
his efforts to secure the endowment, and, we
doubt not, will secure the amount necessary to
place the enterprise beyond the reach of contin-
genoies. Meantime, the exercises Of the College
are progressing prosperously. The Faculty
composed of experienced teachers-is thoroughly
organized and about one hundred and FIVE young
ladies arc regularly in attendance, all bessed with
good health, and dilgent in the employment of the
best opportunities which an excellent Institution

TOWN ITEMS.

Now that the dull, ill-tempered clouds Of Win
ter have passed away, and the Spring-time has
come to cheer and make merry, our thriving town
begins to wear the signs of the new life, business
and businessmen are a-stir, and ''men, women
and children" in town and out of town, keeping
time with the season, are in quest of gay and
lyelier garniture whcI cwithal to deck themselves
out At such time our columns are eminently
suggestive, and by the readers permission, We
must direct attention thereto.
First in our route, and most prominent in our
columns, notice the establishment of Messrs L.
BLooMBEEG & BROTHER. They are now opening
au unusually large and attractive assortment of
Spring and Summer Goods, purchased in the Nor
thern markets, and embracing an extensive va
riety Of fancy and staple articles. Not only for
the excellence of their wares but as we'll for their
enterprise, industry, liberality and integrity in
business transactions, these young men really de-
serve generous measure of public confidence and
patronage. Coming amongst US but a short time
ago, and compelled to contend against a prejudice
stronger than that which usually wars against the
stranger simply, they have, nevertheless, exhibit
ed such uniform liberality, capacity and atten-
ton to business, and honesty in their dealings, q,
to win the respect of our community, and to de-
serve more than ordinary success. Wearc pleas
ed to observe that they have thus far been pros
pered in their efforts, and VIC hope that people
will continue to award them portion of their ia
vor. Read their advertisement.

THE KANSAS COMMITTEE.

The Kansas Committee, appointed by the Asso-
citation, will refer to the call by Mr.. RASEY, the
Chairman, for a meeting at the Court House Oh
Tuesday next. Although they have already been
published, in order to provide against misappre-
hension we append their names:-
Saml Raincy, Sr.; John Ross, John G. David
son, Sam' G. Brown, DR.. R. T. Allison, VIM. C.
Black, W. McGill, Jr., 4. A. Mckenzie, j. Less.
ley Wright, 4. Whytc, \. B. Springs, L. II. Mas
sey, Dan'l Williams, Joel W. Rawlinson and Vim.
P. Thomasson.
These gentlemen are known to be intelligent,
thinking, reading men and, glancng over the list,
it occurs to us that no word of ours is necessary to
induce on their part lively interest in behalf Of
the objects contemplated by their appointment
They know, better than We can tell them, the cri-
ses in which our best interests-even the very safe
ty Of our institutions-are involved; and they
surely appreciate, as fully as VIC do the vital i'm
portance Of their prompt and energetic action
Not only does patriotism snd high-toned South
eru spirit urge it upon them the regularly const-
suited leaders in the effort; but, it has come to
pass that upon them depend the honor and repu-
tation of the District. Other Districts have con-
tributed liberally and sent their men on to the
field of action; while We in York have been occu-
pying the time indie boasting, vapid talking, and
misdirected, selfish msneuvrings. We earnestly
hope, if for no other reason than that the good
name of York District calls for it, that the gentle
men of the committee will spare at least one day,
and, in consultation, devise some plan to secure
the cooperation Of people in the effort to save
Kansas to the South. We believe our citizens are
ready and willing, and whenever they are called
upon in the proper manner, will be prompt to act.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The political cauldron in our neighboring State
is beginning to bubble furiously. Americans are
busily engaged in forming "Fillmore and Donel-
SON. clubs. in every quarter; and the Democracy
are with equal industry gathering their clans to-
gether. The latter party will meet in Convention
ut Raleigh, the 18th instant for the purpose Of
nominating their candidate for Governor, and ar
ranging the plans of the canvass The American
Convention will convene, for the same purpose, at
Greensboro.
Apropos, we give place to disclaimer from the
Asheville Spectator, which amuses US somewhat
Some time ago. that journal suggested the propri-
ETY. OF exempting the candidates for Governor
from the usual labors of the canvass whereupon,
certain papers in our State blew tremedous blast
about the slime honored policy" Of South Caro-
lima, and called the old North State to the stand
to bear witness to the doctrine that the people
ought not to elect their rulers. Now, how mildly
the Spectator takes the tune away from them. Lis
ten:-
The Spnrtanburg Express copies our sugges-
ton to the Greensboro Convention, in regard to
the propriety of requiring our candidates for Gov
ernor mol to canvass the State, and premises by
saying that, sour North Carolina friends are be-
ginning to repent giving the election of Governor
to the people," Our esteemed exchange is very
greatly mistaken in supposing any such thing, and
we are at o loss to determine how it could have
gathered such an idea from our suggestion. In.
stead of being tired of the system, we do not
know man in the State who would desire to take
the election of our chief magistrate from the peo-
pie and give it to the Legislature. But the re-
quiring our candidates to convass the length and
breadth of the State, is quite another natter
Under the preseLt system, a nominee is selected
with necessarily as much regard to his physical,
as to his mental abilities, and the labor of making
speeches from Currituck to Cherokee, nearly sew
en- hundred miles, severely taxes the powers of
the stoutest men. On many of our most eminent
and worthy citizens, it operates as positive and
practical prohibition. On this account, we think
the State would be benefited, and the people at
least not injured, by permitting our respective
gubernatorial candidates to stay ut home during
the canvass. The presses of the State, and the
candidates for the General Assembly could suf6-
ciently discuss the merits and dement's Of State
politics.
