STAINING the wheels Of Government.

The intmaton that the Houses of Congress will
stop the appropriotian bills unless certain things
desired in Kansas shall be granted to one party,
is of too revolutionary character to suppose that
it will be carried out. party would take the
responsibility of stopping the Federal Government
because Kansas has proved itsel so far unable to
govern itself Withholding the appropriations in
Wolves the necessity of disbanding the army, lay
ing up the navy, suspendng the civil service, shut
ting up the Custom Houses, Post Offices and Uni
ted States Courts, and indeed stopping all kinds
of public employment. The citizens of this repub-
lic we apprehend, are not disposed to have these
evils and losses entaied upon the community to
crafty any political party. Such PROPOSE
tion it seems to us, con only come from desperate
men, and is surely not the determination of any
considerable body Of our representatives. Such
q measure resorted to in English history under
the Stuarts, but there is certainly no analogy be-
tween n government of prerogatiye which restric-
ted parliamentary right and republican govern
ment which exists by the free suffrages of the peo

town to town hos been like triumphal march, and
ovations crowd upon him with weighty bearing,
and yet he never tires or stops. Travelling sixty
or seventy miles day, speaking two hours and
half in the open air, making additional addresses

upon the heads Of the sectional agitators, yet for

after all, that hs has not work enough to do Such
is the wonderful scene now presented in Missouri,
and equally wonderfuls the effect being produced.

To relieve the monotony of August weather, and
in bold relief to six mile ride through Briar
Patch, Capt SuGos' Company paraded in York
vile, on Saturday last, much to the public edhca-
ton, and satisfaction, doubtless, of TIMOTHY SNAP

rights rec ,gnised, by the appearance of well
hoopcd Bloomer, in the ranks. PALMER HAREs
celebrated Band discoursed sweet sounds, while
the steady tramp of the martial steed showed tr0-

Gov. ADAMS has yet received the new company,
but if he does on the 10Th, we doubt not they will
prove as efficient Corps as some others we wot
of who sreat their three hours Biennially on

was we'll got up, and innocently amusing.

The Premium List OF the State Agricultural

The State Fair, as will be seen by repeated no.
tees published, will take place in this city on the
II lth day of November, and four days following.
The Premium List which we published in con-
densed type in this number, will be found as COM
prchensive as that of any other institution of the
kind in the Southern States. The Executive Com
mittee had hoped that hut few objects Of interest
had been omitted in this list; hut they do not fiat
ter themselves that it is as complete and perfect
in every particular ms it should be. In token Of
this consideration, they beg all those who have
animals and articles of superior value, to present
them at the Fair, and they may come under the
general head of mertorious entries, entitled to
special notice and reward If liberal and gen.
erous spirit of rivalry, is thus manifested, it will
enable the committee the more readily to perceive
what they have omitted, and the experience which
they will CLEAN will he practically useful to them
in the future Our friends who have articles not
specially enumerated in the prize list, must reflect
that we arc not all perfect, and that the Commit

thoroughly yersed in their vocation when there is
nothing more that is new to he offered in compe-
ttion Let any one in South Carolina and the ad-

do so. State pride should induce our own people

pies of our commercial vitality evidence that our
agricultural energy is effective and elevating in its
influence and tending to prosperity in the future,
which will scatter abundance over the land. Let

Emigrants for Kansas.


Yesterday afternoon a company of seventeen
gentlemen, citizens of Chester District, reached
this city under the command of Maj. N. R. Eaves,
to be turned over to COL Wilkes as part of his
command bound as Emigrants to Kansas.
Among the number we recognize Minister OF

Rev. J. NJ. McCraw-Sir: You are on your way

tor in the days of their youth and follow his pre-
cepts in all things-and teach them to cultivate
virtue, charity, brotherly love and true Carolina
chvalry, and sustain Southern rights and princi-
piles at any and every hazard.
We are pleased to learn that through the exer-
tions Of Messrs n. R. Eaves, A. Q. Dunovant, T.
Boulware, ]. L. Carroll, Maj. J. Sanders and Maj.
John Wilkes, this company has been organized,
equipped and furnished with the necessary means
to settle in Kansas.
The company is composed of the following gen.
tlemen:

nsa- The correspondent of the Charleston Stan
dard writing from Washington gives the following
intelligence:
A large number of Canadian papers have been
receivedI here; giving notice Of the anticipated
fight at the Clifton House. On the same morn
ing Mr.. Burlingame left here, these papers, pub
lished the time and place of the fght-also, dis
tancc and weapons more facts then were known
in Washington. The people are advised to take a
run down and see regular yankee fight. -
Quere-How did these facts find their way to Cana
da )? As the distance and weapons had not been
made known to Col. Brooks and his friends, it is
very clear that MIR. Burlingsme had made all ne
cessary arrangements to prevent fight in the
event Col. Brooks was rash enough to follow him
to the Clifton House.

A Candid Contest on.

The London Times, in late article on the Gen.
trail American question: makes the following allu.
sions to the condition of the British West India
Islands:
"One thing we may premise, and it will proba-
bly, be denied by no one Great Britain has nc
wish for territory on the Central American coast.
Our own West India Islands are fast relapsing in
to primitive savageness. When the rich lands of
Jamaica are being yearly abandoned, and when
in Trinidad and Guiana cultivation has almost
ceased, it is not likely that England will care to
extend her sovereignty further tropical terri
tory which cnn only be brought into use bya sys-
TEN which has been solemnly condemned"

WASHINGTON, July 2

| NAshlNtIoN, July @''
Mr.. Brooks, as we learn by telegraph from
Charleston, has been elected with only SIX votes
against him. Mr.. Keitt will probably be returned
by an equal majority. Mr.. Brooks is still taun-
ted by the republican presses with his tameness,
and hopes are still entertained by republican zeal
OTIS that Mr.. Brooks will be provoked to ''strike
another blow" Another blow would ''produce q
revolution" that revolution which Mr.. Fillmore
in his speeches, and Mr.. Brooks in his letter to
his constituents, declared would not be submitted
to by the South-a revolution which would place
the whole federal government in the hands of the
republicans.
IfMr. Brooks would strike some remarkably au.
dacous blow at this crisis, it would revive the flag
ging zeal of the republicans and, perhaps, enable
them to carry their candidate for the Presidency,
and majority in the House for the next Congress,
with prospect for an early change in their favor
in the Senate Mr.. Brooks, it is hoped will not,
at present, accommodate his enemies by acting
upon their suggestions.
The Army Appropriation bill passed the House,
to-day, with Mr.. sherman's amendment, which is
as follows:
"Provided that no part Of the military force of
the United States shall be employed to aid in the
enforcement of the alleged laws of the Legislative
Assembly of Kansas, convened at Shawnee mis-
sion, until Congress shall declare whether the laws
are valid or not, and passed by Legislature cho-
sen in conformity with the organic law and until
Congress shall 80 act, it shall be the duty of the
President to use the military force of the United
States to preserve the peace, suppress insurrec-
ton, repel invasion, and protect the persons and
property of citizens therein, and on the highway
of Missouri and elsewhere, against unlawful sell
zure and search and that the President disarm
the present militia, recall all the United States
arms and prevent armed men from going into
the territory to disturb the public peace, or
enforce real or pretended laws"
This amendment was passed by majority of 6.
The amendment declaring the laws of the legisla-
ture of Kansas null and void was rejected.
The Senate will, of course, reject the Sherman
Proviso, and thus the army appropriation bill may
be defeated.
Mr.. Dunn, of Indiana, brought forward to-day
his Kansas bill, as substitute for the bill which
passed the Senate. This bill provided for the
restoration of the Missouri Gompromis. line, and
is, of course, an utterly impracticable project
The bill was likely to pass by majority of ten
or eleven. The House only wastes time in the
consideration of such bills. The session is draw-
ing to close, and the time of the House is be-
coming valuable.
The hopes which the Black Republicans have
hitherto felt in regard to Pennsylvania have been
defeated, and it is also quite certain that they
will lose a number of the Northern States, upon
which they have formerly calculated.
Mr.. Buchanan's prospects are now much brigh-
ter than at any previous time.
