DINNER TO SENATOR HAMMOND, OF SouTH CAR
oLrNA.-Thc Charleston Mercury, publishes a re-
port Of the proceedings Of a meeting at Beech
Island, on the occasion of public dinner to
Senator Hammond. That gentleman's speech
was Of course the great feature. In speaking
of the relations of the North and South he takes
the following positions;
|. That if we were we'll out OF the Union,
with our Constitution aud political institutions
established aud acknowledged, the South would
be more prosperous than she is now, or seems
likely TO be. in the Union.
2. That we are not likely to dissolve the
Union until some very substantial issue Is made
viz the North ruling us by confirmed Sec
tional majority, or renewal of the tariff, banks
&C., or direct tampering with our slaves, DO.
s. That we have already achieved great VIC
tories over the North, and that. If we would
unite aud stand firmly, watchfully, with our
arms in ORDER on the Constitution. truth. JUS
tice, and our rights. with the alternative OF dis
solution. there is reason to feel confident that
we can not only sustain ourselves in the Union,
but control the country, and, through 1t, the
world.
4. That the South should review minutely
and nalytically the ground OF the prevalent
opinion that we want expansion OF slave terri
tory. and should also ascertain whether the
thing be possible for the South, with our limit
ed supply of slaves. which the Senator intimatcs
he is adverse to increasing by re-opening the

Keeping tAe Carnival In Lima.

correspondent of the Alta, writing from
the city of Lima, thus speaks of curious way
the ladies Of that city have of celebrating the
carnival:
For three days in succession have the ladies
right to oesprinkle every body with water, end
you may believe 1t, that they awaited lhelnselI "a
vi the privilege with vengeance. All houses
are, Tor this purpose, shut, to keep inIruders
out, and in the balconies, which are a sort OF
frame work with Venetian blinds aud curtaius,
the fair nymphs keep themselves concealed
armed with pals Of water, pitchers, aud last
though ne. least, with syringes oi heavy callbre
aud long range. As sUon now as they spy out
gentleman coming unawares along, they open
their batteries aud give him u dreadful due king.
With all my prudence in recvunoiterinE The
enemy, they actually got me three times
lnto horrld cross lire aud in spite of all such
plastic leaplng as would have raised the envy
aud then driven To despair the uimblest OF bal
let masters, was as many times drenched to
the skin. But the ladies have it not altogether
their own way. AT all corners eggs tillsu with
scented water are sold, (some even have q Jack
ass loaded with these mssels ut their disposal, J
aud armed with them the gentlemen return to
renew the battle. The ringing peals of laugh
ter IL some one gets fairly hit, the grotcsque
jumps and ridiculous positions OF the men TO
eVade the water, the flushed cheeks OF the ladies
aud the cheerful excitement all around, makes
the scene very amusing one. i saw one bal
cOny at the French Consul's house defended by
half dozen as pretty creatures that the boldest

ed !: be should dare TO portray them, against
some fifty gentlemen, all carrying a basket with

by such superior force. kept their places gal.
lantly, and only after the whole ammunition Of
the attacking party was exhausted that they
allowed Themselves some rest. The same game
is then repeated with recuperated vigor while
the gentlemen, beaded by band of music,
continue their cruise in search of other game
The "Intendente," which corresponds with your
City Marshal, had Forbidden for fear of excesses,
all these funny proceedings. and at the head of
some dragons tried to enforce the law, but in
this attempt he was, with his suit, nearly drown
