OUR ADVERTISING PAGE.

In order that our patrons may have the benefit Of
as much reading matter the size of the ENQUIRER
will permit, we have made fearful havoc with our
advertising columns, this week, having marked out
every advertisement except in cases where further
continuance has been positvr'7 ordered and we
shall continue to be sudousto exclude from the page
all matter which does not have tendency either to
fill the readers eye orour own Golfers. We are deter
mined to make our paper valuable to our readers,
and if we fall the failure must be attributed to our
want of ability to occupy properly the ample space
provided for their entertainment. Twenty columns
of solid reading matter will be found in this ISSUE
In relation to Patent Medicine Advertisements our
rule is fixed We cannot the justice or the pro-
priety of the course of many journals in giving
place to those false and fulsome pus of the poison
Gus nostrums of Yankee venders, at rates much
below those at which home patrons ore taxed. 1t
not only docs ncalcuable injury but it is unjust to
other advertising patrons: while it furnishes to the
reader rightful cause for complaint. These noti-
ces will be excluded from columns, unless the
full rates are paid when of course, we can have no
election. Only one can be found in our paper
that of 'Jacobs Cordial" which pays the contract
price and is, besides, Southern Remedy, to the
value and efficacy of which we can ourselves bear
ample testimony. p.
If we avemarked out any advertisements the fur
thcr continuance of which is desired, advertisers
will of course give US notice.

Many Of the houses became crystal palaces, ana
glanced buck the suns rays upon the passing travel
Ter. Even the blades of grass and weeds IN the
fields were turned to crystal and added to the gene
raj grandeur of the scene. So great was the weight
of the incumbent ice, that many fruit and ornamen-
al trees were broken down and destroyed while 9TH
ers were dvested Of their limbs split and otherwise
injured. 1t was even dangerous to pass through the
Streets on account of the falling branches and trees
The noise of the falling and cracking wood resound-
cd far and near. 81
The Telegraph Company has suffered considerable
oss and their business operations are entirely sus-
pended. The rain falling the wires froze, and In
creased the weight to be sustained by the posts to
such degree to them to give way under the
pressure, and bring the wires to the ground. We
have hot heard of the estimated damage sustained,
although the wire is down in every direction, but
presume it will soon be in working order again.
Such scene as the ono we have above briefly al
luded to- has not occurred in South Carolina for
twenty years. We think it was in 1885, when %
somewhat similar event happened, but then, If we
remember correctly the ice was dissolved on the fol-
lowing day. This year, the rain which fell and con-
gealed on Friday night, was not dissolved when we
went to press last evenings although the rays OF the
sun yesterday had somewhat reduced the number OF
cicles around the caves of dwellings and trees, ma
ny of which were twelve and eighteen inches in
length by one inch in diameter. As an evidence of
the great weight of the circumambient ice on the
trees we mention the fact that large oak tree, on
Senate street, little above the State House, one
of the few which the woodman's axe spared when
he was clearing the site of Columbia, has been split
and rven of its branches, leaving but one limb
standing on the knotted and knarled trunk. Some
of the branches broken off were fully five feet in
circumference Fortunately there has been but light
winds: had it blown heavily the danger to life and
limb from falling trees &c., which has been consid-
erable, would have been proportionably increased.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

As usual the advent of the new year brings to US
quantity of Valedictores and Sautatories of out
going and incoming editors. 1t is loud-speaking
commentary on the wear and tear of body and soul
which are the incidents of editorial life, that from
two to three years suffice to the course of the ed
itors career. We could wish it were otherwise; :;
nothing would tend so much as the permanency OF
those who follow it to elevate the character and es
tablish the dignity of the profession, and on the 9TH
er hand editors have nothing to fear more deroga-
tory than their own transient character tits pro-
fcssion the rewards of which are always equal and
oftimes superior to merit and it is to be regretted
that the burden cannot always be borne by meritor
Gus men.
Among the losses We have to regret is that of DR..
LOGAN, of the AJJepls Banner, an earnest and
truthful writer, and Gen. A. G. DARLINGTON, Of the
New5erry Mirror, both of whom illustrated well the
character of South Carolina journalism. The place
of the former has been taken by Mr.. JAMES HoL-
L1NGswoRTI O practical printer.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We have excluded much of our usual variety in
order to give our readers the benefit Of the publica-
ton entire of the Presidents Message. In every
point of veiw it is animportan document, and ought
to be read carefully by every intelligent citizen Of
the country. We know that it is not the custom of
many especially in South Carolina, to wade through
the long windings of suclikc papers, and at the first
blush it occurred to US that publication would be,
MS far rs our readers are concerned labor lost
But careful perusal repeated again and again, has
convinced US that this paper is no commonplace
document, and we have published it with the earnest
hope that thereby every reader would be induced to
follow our example and with o like result
In reference to such q paper, presenting COM
plete, thorough andcrtcal examination of everyim-
portant point at ISSUE comment is unnecessary. We
have only to express our unqualified approval. In
every word, sentiment and doctrine we recognise
reflex of the opinions which, patriot and South
Carolina, we have even been proud to entertain. A
genuine glow of true high-wrought patriotism Is
caught from every sentence as we read 1t. we
took it up asking to ourselves, in language OF old,
scan any thing good come out Nazareth" and after
porng over it again and again we laid it down, with
the glad conviction that, Ito compare small things
with great out ofNazareth has come the great
est and the best Our own CALHOUN, whose every
thought is as rcyercd truth, would have been con-
tent with such an exposition of his crecd and,
he living, would ask for it such place in the head
and heart Of his people as they were wont to give
to words of his own. 1t is truly noble paper
noble in the unaffected simplicity Of its dicton-no-
BILE in the patriotic devotion to the Constitution and
the rights of the States with which it was inspired
AMI noble in the earnest fearless and self devotng
spirit with which the cause Of the right is sustained
and the oppression of the strong both at home and
abroad firmly set at defiance.
| Coming from Northern man, whose sympathy
with Southern feeling springs alone from an adhe'
renee to truth and the Constitution cannot this de-;
ument suggest to u.s. evcnin the heart of South Car
olina the straight path of duty? Are we to be told
that it is our part to stand by idly, and not lift up
an arm in support of such leader? With the power
of the government in the hands Of FRANKLIN PIERCE
we can now be assured Of no evil; and, certainly,
it behooves us to see to it that at this heavy hour
the friends of the right are not found wanting .

THE WEATHER.

The past year has truly been succession of titful
unreasonable seasons. We remember in the months
of July and August when the fre-side was almost
as cheerful as in mid-winter, and but recently il
seemed that the Autumn had made an unceremoni-
GUS leap into the fowery lap of Spring When rains
might have been expected, the earth was parched,
our wells and springs and streams were almost dry
and it required an effort to obtain supply of water
for actual need.
But with the new year, all things have come right
again. We have had abundant rains, the wells are
full, and the streams are overowing with the food
Winter, too, has come in earnest. After two OF
three cold days to prepare us for it, on Friday night
we had an unusually heavy fall of snow, which, al
the time we write, on Tuesday, still covers the
ground to the depth of several inches. In our Sou
thern cline the winters snow is always genial,
welcome vistor-bringing with it a fund Of gladness
for all Boys and girls are themselves in earnest,
and men and women arc boys and girls again. Our
streets were lively all-day Saturday; every body
played the gladiator and snow-balled everybody
while tingng bells, announcing new era in things,
made music to accompany the rollickng, allinsprit-
ing sport of many dashing, headlong sleigh-ridc
The opportunity was we'll appreciated and well i'm
proved and VIC can really hope for nothing better
than many return of the welcome visitor.
The snow storm did not extend Southwark as far
rs Columbia. In reference 10 the season there, the
Carolina Times of Monday has the following:-
The rains which have been so heavy and incessant
for the last three weeks, with but brief intermis-
sion, have at length ceased. On Friday and Satur-
day last, rs fast the rain fell it frozc on whatcv
er it came in contact, and Sunday morning, when
the sun broke FORTH clear and unclouded of the
most brilliant scenes presented itself that ever was
afforded to the human eye. Every tree, twig and
spray, was coated with ice, and gttercd and spark
led in the sun with all the coors of the rainbow

THE EXAMINER.

Wehave received, and but for want of room in our
issue would have noticed the first number Of Mr.
JoHNsToNs paper with the above title published in
Columbia. 1t is printed in quarto form and is al
together very neat and handsome paper. While
editor Of the Carolinian, Mr.. JOHNSTON won char
acter which Of late years has not been surpassed in
the State. In the editorial department of the num-
Der of the Examiner before u.s. this enviable reputa-
tion promises to be we'll sustained.
| We hazard but little in predicting for Mr.. JOHN
sToN's paper complete success. Claiming to be q
literary Journal its scope extends to every depart
heretofore been attained and which will recommend
it to the intelligent patronage of South Caroinians
Within the limits of our experience, no paper has
been started in this State undermore fattering
pices; and to none would we bespeak the attention
of our readers heartily than to the Examiner.
Its political principles will be "such as South Caro-
lima has always upheld, and such above those of any
other political organization tend to the safety of
Southern rights" The following extract deserves
copyng:-
zone thing we regard as indispensaby necessary
for the successful maintenance of our political and
social rights and Institutions, and that is Southern
Union The true position of the State touching her
relations with the Federal Government, ought in
our opinion, to be one of the calm but firm and watch
full waiting, which must not be abandoned for any
premature or usory invitations to action. The
next time for action should action become necessary
will be when the Southern States having fully weigh
ed the measure, and feeling in their full force and
with unanimity the wrongs they have endured or
which may be threatened, shall assemble their sons
to pronounce the decree of separation.
The price of the Examiner is 81, in advance. We
shall cheerfuly receive and forward the names of
any of our readers.

Why would they not do so? He might be told be-
cause it would be injurious to party. Party had
been too often the bane of Republics and, thought
would do very well in its place, yet the country

on them rs members Of the House, viz organize up

not be driven from the performance of this great du-
ty by the fear Of party. 1t seemed to him that the
two parties which supported Mr.. Richardson and Mr..
Fuller should, without any formal understanding,
withdraw their candidates and cast their votes for
whom they pleased. He for one, would vote for any

recommending as infalliable:
For sea sickness--stay at home.
For drunkenness-d drink cold water.
For health-take ssAye;'s Pills"
For accidents-keep out of danger.
To make money--advertise.
For Coughs and colds--take Cherry

To keep out of jail--pay your debts.
To be happy-subscribe for newspa'

REASON AND COMMON SENsE.-Our rea-
ders may remember we have on several
occasions spoken in very eulosistic terms
of the preparation which DR.. Seth S.
Hance, of 1O8 Baltimore street, Balti-
more, Md, has discovered for the cure of
Epi eptic FITS. Now, in doing SO, we
have been actuated by the very best mo-
tiyes, viz: the alleviation of human suf-
| fering. From circumstances which have
lately come to our knowledge, we fear
there is certain class of persons who are
not disposed to try this remedy in COM
mon sense manner. We allude to the
fact of selecting particular case in a
town where perhaps there are six or eight
cases, and trying it on one case. Now,
perhaps the case selected might be the
only one of the whole number that it
would not cure. This is neither doing
themselves nor the medicine justice. II
If dozen persons were stricken down
with cholera in one town or neighborhood
would they all send for physician, or
would only one employ him, and wait and
see if he cured the first patient? That
plan of procedure would be most absurd
So in the case of DR.. Hence's remedy,
every one who has its should try it for a
reasonable length of time. 1t will not
cure in day or week; nothing worth
doing can be accomplished at once
What is easily done, is as easily undone
The growth Of time is enduring. From
the most respectable testimony we have
examined, we feel assured that by prop
er perseverance of this remedy, nine ca
ses of Epilepsy out of ten may be cured

burgh on the 21st inst, from fillmore
men, will come from those who desire the
election of James Buchanan These
'strait outs" are few in number and their
persistence in their course OF donkey osi
will rather strengthen our cause than
weaken it; at least will it be so, in the
larger towns and cities containing a large
foreign vote. Hundreds Of foreigners
whom the fetid gaul of these semi 81 am :
ocrats draw from the Union State ticket
to the embrace of Locofocoism, will in
obedience to their choice, vote for Col.
Fremont. And hundreds of democrats
who naturally voted their own, so-called
State ticket, will now vote the Republican.
The same may be said too, Of the Quak
ers. They will now vote thing they
did not do on the 18th. In a conver-
saton which [ had this afternoon with
VIM. NJ. Stewart Of Indiana Co., Pa, one
of the Presidential electors, he told me he
was confdt nj that his county would in
crease her Republican vote at least three
hundred in number. He feels confident,
also, as l do, that other coun les will i'm
itate her example. The following alb
stract will show you that We have, judg-
ing from the past, some grounds for the
''faith that is in us 1t will show, fur
