TIE POSITION OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Charleston iN,,cs in it's issue of Thurs
day contains an article on the unity Of senti-
lnent in South Carolina and the idea Of some,
that there is any serious division, it repudiates.
It says, "past issues on either expediency or
between men are buried in the question of the
day, and will be unavailing. The exgencies OF
the future can and alone should define positions"
There is liberaty in the above sentence. The
.NeWs has differed with US on issues of expedi-
ency. But we have always believed that upon
the principles of State-rghts in Federal politics,
the people and press Of this State have been as
nearly united as possible The vote of our
members in Congress illustrates it. There has
been no issue Of late in Congress, involving
any cardinal principle in the State-rghts creed,
upon which our delegation has not voted unani-
mously. We do not believe member could rep
resent any Congressional District South Car.

nation did not force him to resign before his
term expired. The same unity OF sentiment

Clrolina is fully prepared, and willing in all
confidence, to identify herself with the South
in common cause The ability of the South
ern leaders in Congress is unquestioned. There
is scarcely Southern State that does not num-
ber in its delegation one or more intelects of a
commanding order. The triumph of the Demo
cratic party throughout the South has brought
about an intensely united Southern sentiment
and harmonious action uong Southern repre-
scntatircS, and if our leaders continue under
the influence Of all exalted patriotism that OBJ
itcrates all per-onal jcalousies, AMI harmonize
for their country's cause, the honor and inter-
ests of tue South will be borne trulnphantly
thro' the trials of the present and the dangers

the questions Of the day. His habits Of tho.
rough investigation and analysis, and his tena-
cious adherence to his convictions of right,
have frequently placed him at the head of i'm.
portant committees; and his reports are among
the abest in our legislative records. As chair
man of the Committee of the Whole on the
State of the Union, during the discussion of the
most important and exciting measures, he dis
played so much promptness, lirmness, and intel.
ligcnce in his decisions that he won the conf
dence and respect of men of all parties; and at
the commencement of last Congress he was al
most unanimously selected by the Democrats as
their candidate for speaker. His party wcre
however, in the minority, and his election failed.
When the present session of Congress opened
elected its presiding officer. So far he has JUS
titled the expectations Of his friends and of the
party which placed him in the chair. In the
tulliIlment of the duties Of his present position
Mr.. Orr will doubtless add honorably to the repu-
tation he now enjoys. He is too wise man
not to perceive that while fidelity to party was
the hest ladder for him to rise to his present
height impartial neutrality will now serve his
fame and ambition better.
The personal appearance of Mr.. Orr is bold
and striking. He possesses Il manly form,
dignied bearing, a kindly and courteous man
ncr. and !. cheerful disposition. His counte-
nance is open and intellectual; and his phre.

SUCKING ur WATER FROM SASp.--Liyingstonc,
he African traveller, decribes an ingenious me-
til ID y which tie -lIricans obtain water i'll the
desert:
The women tie Il bu"c., OF grass to one cd
of reed about two feet long, aud insert it in 4
hole dug Us deep as the arm will reich, then
ram down the wet sand firm y aru MI it. Apply
ing the mouth to the fee end If the reed, they
form vacuum in the grass beneath, in which
the water collects, and in 81 time rises to the
mouth" 1t will be perceived that this simple;
but truly philosophical and cItectual method,
might have been applied in many cases. in diff
f.rcnt countries, where water WAS greatly need
ed, to the saving oflife 1t seems wonderful that
it should have been now first made known to
the worll, and that it should have brcn habtu.
ally practiced in Africa, probably for centuries
1t seems worthy of being particularly noticed,
that it may no longer be neglected from isno-
rance. may be highly important to travellers
OF our Western deserts and prairies, in some
parts of which water is known 10 exist below the
surface.
