ANOTHER GROCERY suuT Up.-Thc President
of the United States Senate has closed the re-
freshment ~ room adjoining the Senate.
The Immediate cause of this closing Of the
''bar" was the disorder in the Senate Chamber
growing out of the potations of Senators. Mr.
SlideIl, of Louisiana, interrupted Mr. Douglas
by coughing and laughing, and when Mr.. Doug
las protested against such Interruption, Mr.. S.i-
dell stepped close TO Mr.. Douglas and said his
language was insulting and impertinent.
On the same day ''Aare up" occurred be.
tween Green, of Mo. and Clay OF Alabama, and
then the President OF the Senate cut off the Sen
atoIal grog.

Jefferson Davis In New York.

On the 18th instant, large Democratic mass
meeting was held in New York, ut which Col.
Jeff. Davis spoke. We make the following ex.
tract:
"The speaker adverted again to the slavery
question, and spoke of the peaceful relations
Which subsist between the master and the slave.
The Aboiitionists were desirous that Great Brit.
ain should ad them in their crusade against slave.
ry. But if Great Britain should succeed in sep.
arating the North and the South she would only
more successfully prosecute her rivalry with Nor
thern commerce and manufactures. Some North
ern politicians Of philosophical Kind had pro-
mulgated the principle of higher law. They
were men whohad stepped their hands in the blood
Of their brothers-who were constantly warning
against their fellow couutrymen at the South
Their higher law was law in which the criminal
naturally takes refuge When the speaker heard
one Of these philosophers preaching treason, to
the laws Of the land, he thought that such man
! was a proper subject for lynch law which was
higher law than the one that he advocated. If
we ore true to ourselves and true to the Consti.
tuition, our path is onward to moro Of national
greatness than people ever possessed Our form
Of Government was such as the wit Of man had
never devised until the Constitution was formed
If the Constitution were cordially and faithfully
observed, DO power could shake the Government
of the United States. With every rev diving year
there will come new sources of pride and pros.
perity, fresh stars will be added to our banner,
and onward over land and sea the power Of the
United States will progress to triumph such as
the earth never witnessed. In conclusion, the
speaker returned his cordial thanks for the kind
ness with which he had been received
"His speech was frequently applauded with
great enthusiasm, and at the end the gifted orator
was greeted with q laundering tribute of popular
approval"

THE 9. C. SON OF TEMPERANCE.

We are in receipt of the first number of this
new candidate for public favor. The paper is Of
good size, neatly gotten up, and we'll supplied with
tastefully written editorial matter. AS its name
purports, it is the organ of the Sons OF Temper
ance of South Carolina, to whom it especially
commends itself. From the appearance of the
first number, we feel satisfied that if those for
whose interest the paper was established will but
do half their duty, it vii! send those concerned in
the enterprise on their way rejoicing, and the
South Carolina Son of Temperance, prove deci-
ded success. The editors, we feel assured, 'oitI
do their duty. The Son Of Temperance is publish
ed weekly at Bennettsvlle Marlboro District, S.
c., by MOORE s. POWELL; and edited by Il. JUDGE
MOORE ESQ.,, and Maj. B. D. TOWNSEND. Terms
two dollars per year-on the principle of "pay
before you start" To the Son Of Temperance
the cause it advocates, the editors, and all con-
cerned, we wish hearty God speed!

DR.. Grier's resignation of the Presidency of Frs

ton. The election was made by ballot, and with
out nomination. On the first balloting, quite q
number of gentlemen were voted for Kew. Mr..
Miller had plurality of the votes cast, but not
majority of the whole.
Mr.. Miller is in the morning of life; compare

will be, by the present wise and faithful Faculty
President Miller hopes to be at his post oy the
1st of January: DR.. Gricr will act as President

so. . ,
The Synod resolved to establish Theological
Seminary, and Dr.. .Grier was elected Professor OF
Theology, pro tempore. DR.. E. E. Presley was

The building and other accomdations for the pris

The building and other accomdatons for the pris'
oners, seems good and sufficient for any ordinary
purposes. The out-buidngs and lots appear to
be in good order, and favorable for the health and
comfort of the inmates. Upon the whole, we think
the Jail and its appurtenances, are well kept,
I'VE have also examined the Court House, and find
the building and fixtures in good condition.
We would call the attention of the people of
South Carolina, to the propriety of pettioning the
Legislature of our State, to appropriated sufficient
amount Of money 20 remove the free negroes from
our limits. This matter has already been acted
upon, or about to be, by Of our sister States
The free negroes might be transported to Lberia,
or any other point the Wis lom of the Legislature
should dictate. We also recommend that the above
negroes be.allowed the privilege of either choos-
ing their masters at certain price. and that the
amount so accruing for said sales, be appropriated
20 remove the remainder, who may not wish to be
sold E. A. CRENSHAW, Foreman.

usINGLE PACKAGES"

The following, which we clip from an exchange,
we commend to our Western readers:-
"We should like to have all single packets doubled,
trebled, quadrupled, or more, if more might
he It is troublesome to send out these single
paclages-very troublesome, in proportion to the the
gains. We con put up two or three papers for
mail nearly as soon as we can one Besides, we
always realize feeling Of anxiety in regard to
these little packets, in sending one paper away oy
itself so far We feel for them in their lonely
and uncertain journey. As to the large packages,
their very bulk will command some respeSt lor
them from post Office clerks. But these solitary
little fellows, in their seeming insignifcance, may
probably be kicked into some corner or miss theIr
way and be lost among the hills and holloWs: 1t
is pity to have one paper take such long jour
neys as some of them do, SOLITARY and alone, -
Give them company, ard they will travel more mo,
swiftly, and reach their destination more surely

Extracts from the Presentment ofthe Grand
Jury.--York, Fall Term, 1858.


We the Grand Jury for Fall Term, 1858, hav-
;nc examined and investigated the report and ac-
counts of Mr.. Adam Ivey, Indian Agent, do, af-
ter careful examination, agree that the Report is,
in our Judgment one which merits the careful
consideration of the Legislature. we respectful
ly, but earnestly recommend that the State be So
licited, through the Legislature, to make an ap'
preparation to remove the seventy Catswba Indians
from the State, and that the General Government
do grant settlement for said Indians, of some
norton of the Territory west of the Chlckasaws,
where we understand they would De willingly re-
ceived, and be really an accession to the ChlcKa-
saws. who desire their company. With regard 10
the accounts, VIC find no disagreement or dlscrep-
ancy. We find the amount Of cash on hand to be
small; and the expense per head increasing, ana
vet the number of Indians decreasing. Such
being the case, we find it necessary, and we think
proper, to urge the consideration of the above
matters upon the Legislature Of our State.
We have examined the Report OF the Commis-
sioners of the Poor, and find it correct. We re-
snectfullv report that we have examined the Poor
House and buildings, and paupers therein, and
find them properly cared for, comfortably clothed,
with good bedding, and houses neat and cleanly.
There is on hand at the Poor House. OF this years
crop. about five hundred bushels of corn good
garden; seven hogs that will be suitable for ba
CON; seventeen stock hogs, two COWS and calves,
and two horses We find that there is not suttl-
cicnt house eroom-two Of the paupers residing up
stairs in the dwelling of the overseer-and Woulu
recommend that one or two comfortable frame
houses be erected
We have examined the Jail building and lot,
and find the internal State of the building IN good
order. except two of the prison windows are in
damaged state so US to render the prison insecure
The exterior seems in good condition, excepting

Col. RICHARD T. ARCHER, Virginisn by birth,
and one Of the largest planters in Mississippi, in
series Of vigorous articles published in the New
Orleans Delta, in reply to Mr.. J. JOHNSTON PET.
rIGREw's Report to our Legislature, against re-
openining the African slave trade, concludes as
below. We don't think, however, that South
Carolina now, or ever, will "stand isolated from
her sister States Of the cotton-growing family"
And now, in conclusion, is South Carolina to
stand isolated from her sister States Of the cotton
growing family? Are her people again to be di-
vided, as IN the revolutionary struggle Of 1776?
1t is said that the measure is impractoable in the
Union Be il so. Boldness 10 counsel is ever the
precursor Of boldness in action. Col. VIM, Archer,

instant, Mr.. WASHINGTON MULLER, of Columbia

Gen. ALsroN declined o reelection on account
of ill-health.
