The Laurensville Herald in an article on the
Senatorial election, gives the following sketch Of
the career of two prominent politicians in South
Carolina
ssStrange extremes sometimes meet, and it would
be matter of great amusement, provided 30 much
was not involved to witness the manner in which
these extremes get together and the cordiality of
their greetings. We remember quite well, when
we were school boy, just beginning to compre-
hend the difference in politics, between tweedledum
and tweedledee, that two men in our then Congress
sional District ran for Congress. One was an
Unionist of the strongest dye, the other State
Rights man, doubly dipped the one was man
of experience, and commanding and acknowledged
abilities, who had proved his devotion to the glo
rious Union, from the days Of Notification down
the other was young man, Of somewhat brilliant
parts, but at that time little known in the State.
lie was Numerically opposed to his distinguished
opponent in politics, and q hot and angry canvass
was the result. He proved, however, to be foe
man worthy the steel of the veteran Unonist,
and came out from the contest with victory perch
ed upon his banner. Eight short years have gil
ded away, and these two opposite polls the poll
tics of South Carolina have met and embraced
kissing has literally gone by favor, and we find
the one-not many months ago-warmly advoca-
ting the other, as suitable man to represent the
policy and sovereignty of our State in the United
States Senate! During this period, the enemies
of our Institutions have aarmingly increased. We
have oil along been tantaized with only the shad-
ow without the substance of "a returning sense of
justice :" yet, in spite of all this, our former
State Rights Secessionist has been metamorphosed
into remarkably conservative and liberal Union
ist and most Jealous National Democrat Not
satisfied with his own miraculous conversion, he is
prostitutng his fine talents and commanding infu-
ence, in order to convert the State unto his new
faith. We mention this case, not solely for the
purpose of showing signal act of inconsistency,
lfor men arc permitted to change when honestly
convinced of error,) not only with view of NOR
aizing on the striking effects of "vaulting amb-
ton, but more Immediately for the purpose of il
Illustrating the fhot that q change is coming over
the spirit of the political dreams Of some of our
people, and to show that certain leading politicians
have lead the way in this change, and are doing
all within their power to effect an entire revolu.
ton in the Federal politics Of the State. How far
they have succeeded, will be in great measure
determined by the Senatorial election, soon to take
place.

LITERARY NOTICES,

The Home Circle for Octoberi now op our table,
and from hasty glance at its contents, we pro-
nounce it q model number. An appreciative re-
view of Sir WALTER SCOTT is the leading article.
1t is we'll at this period to recall the memory Of
the "Great Magician" We cannot disguise the
truth that his works are not so popular as they
have been; that yellow backed novelettes, trashy
nonsense, attempts at the tragica, the adventures
of some bandit or gambler, so described as to
make us love crime, are the staple of the reading
matter of the present day. We hear constantly
IN out-cry against novels because parents are too
ignorant to select the proper authors for their
families. They are permitted to buy or borrow
whatever falls into their hands, and it is all one to
the parent whether it be the polluting details of
Partisan dissipation, or the equally disgusting
pictures of life in New York. Manyfathers have
the good sense to perceive the danger, but few
have the discernment or the inclination to adopt
the only radical cure-making the proper selec-
tions. To forbid, is to give new attraction to
novel reading. Like the tabled apples of Hes
perides, novels become more valuable from the
obstacles to their possession. To interdict is the
surest way to commend them to the youthful taste.
But even if it were possible, it is not desirable, to
shut the goldengate tes of dreamland and make youth
like age, unimaginative, practical, selfish. Ifthere
is one thing which parents can do, so foolish and
eulpable as permitting their families to read inds-
criminately, it is forbidding them to read any
tale or romance. Foolish, because nine times in
ten the command will not be obeyed culpable

CATCH THE THIEVESi

Rogues are finding Camp'meetings profitable.
By reference to the advertisement Of Mr. B. G.
ALLEN in another column, it will be seen that
mules are liable to slip the bride on such sanctl-
monious occasions. We understand that our neigh
Dor GEORGE W. HUDSON lost nine hundred dollars
in cash, besides quantity of notes, at Antioch
Camp, meeting. This is enough to make those
who have anything to lose to open their eyes -
During Court Week at this place gold watch and
scme "ready made clothing" was picked up BY
some one who chad nothing to wear" Fortunate
ly the stolen goods were found where they had
been concealed before the rogue was prepared to
leave Two suspicious looking specimens of the
genus homo haling from Spartanburg, are suppo-
sed to have been the wholesale borrowers. In the
meantime VIC give them fair warning that it is
dangerous to return to Yorkville unless they wish
to suspend" We arc not sure but one of the sus-
pected rogues will answer the description of the
mule thief. Go where they will, their mean,
daredevil countenances will awaken suspicion.

CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENTS


We have been having pretty warm weather for
the season up to Thursday night last when it sud-
denly changed, and Friday was cold enough for
early winter. Friday night was still colder, and
on Saturday morning frost was seen on the out
skirts of the City. This will be favorable to
health, although we have been unusually blessed
in that particular, having had less sickness this
season than almost any other that has preceded
it for many years. guess there has been kill
ling frost throughout all the interior of the State.
and perhaps in many instances has resulted in
damage to the late crops, more especially the
cotton.
The immediate excitement occasioned by the
pretty much passed off, and the public pulse is a
gain down to a healthy, regular beat and business
is quietly resuming its wonted channels. Three
of our Banks still stand firm, namely, the Char
lesion, the Union, and the State Bank, and public
confidence seems still strong in those that have
suspended. The bills Of all the Banks are readily
raken and are as current in the city as they ever
were. The panic has spent its fury-done its
worst and the next change, which is not far ahead
will be for the better; it could not well be for
the worse One of the most favorable signs Of
the times is, we have had no mercantile failures.
All our large wholesale establishments, seem to
be in safe, if not prosperous condition.
The morning papers record the death of Mr..
DAVID SEIxAs, which took place yesterday at his
residence on East-Bay near Calhoun street. He
had been spending some months Mt the North for the
benefit of his health, and returned home about
month since in much worse condition than when
he left. He was an active and efficient business
man, and had succeeded in accumulating, by his
own industry and economy, quite handsome
fortune He leaves wife and five children, and
an estate worth about one hundred thousand dol
lars. He was quite in the morning Of life, being
only about thirty-fve years of age, and had been
for several years an active and efficient member
of the firm of GEO. A. HorLY & Co., one Of the
wealthiest and most extensive shipping houses in
the city. As man of thorough business habits,
possessing Il keen and quick perception Oh the
financial operations of mercantile life, he at once
acquired an enviable character, and took high
stand as man of mark in the community. The
flags of the shipping in the harbor were displayed
OF half-mast yesterday, as o merited tribute of
respect to his memory.
The fell destroyer seems to be busy in our
midst, and the high and the low, the young and
the old, fall alike before his destructive weapons
The grave is one of those Unsuitable monsters that
has never yet said sit is. enough" The dead are
everywhere, the mountain side, the woods pro-
found and the deep yallies shade is one vast
burial ground
1t becomes my painful duty to record the death
of another promising young man, who had just
reached the verge of mature manhood, and was
surveying the broad and beautiful future that lay
spread out in tempting array before his admiriug

Columbia Market.

Cotton.-In the present state of affairs there is
but little we can say as regards the cotton Market
the little that is offered is all bought, but the guam
tty is so small and prices soirregulsr and un-
settled that it is difficult to say what the actual
value of the article is. Nearly all the planters are
either keeping their cotton at home or sending it
here to be put in store and thisstate of things will
in all probability continue until there is some
change in monetary affairs of the country. The
little that has been sold during the week has been
taken at l1@11S, according to quality:
Corn.-We have no change to notice IN the price
of corn; throughout the whole of the past week
the market has been quiet but steady, at 80 @96
cents for old, and IS cents for new. =.
Cow Peas.-The stock of peas is low, and they
freely command 9O@95 cents y bushel.
Oats.-There is only limited demand for oats,
and they are dull at so cents p bushel.
Rour.-The market is well supplied with this
article, and common qualities are shade lower.
We quote S5.5O@S6 for common to superfne
brands; extra family -four 81 p Dbl.
Fodder.--There is fair supply Of fodder COM
ing in, and the demand is quiet but steady. We
still quote Soc. @S1 y 100 TBS. according to quail

We will give as far as we are able view OF the
progress of the crisis. The New York City Banks
have all suspended and requested the Governor TO
convene the Legislature for the purpose of offering
relief. 1t is not known how they will escape the
restrictive clause of the State Constitution and a
void going into liquidation. The Albany BANKS
have likewise suspended. So have the Boston
Banks 1t will no doubt be general suspension
North of Virginia. The Bank of Virginia, Farm
er's Bank and the Exchange Bank have suspend
ed The Savannah Banks have gone in the same
way and stopped specie payment. The Augusta
Banks have suspended. In N. Orleans, the South
ern Bank and the Bank of JAMES RonB continu-
ed to pay specie. In Columbia all the Banks have
suspended but the Commercial. In Charleston
the Planters and Mechanics and the Farmers and
Exchange Banks have gone overheard. The Plan
ter's Bank of Fairfield has followed the majority
and suspended. The Tennessee Banks have all
suspended and there is heavy run on the st.
Louis Banks.
