The Geological, meteorological and Agri
cultural surveyor of the State, is, VIC under.
stand, in the district. He has visited hastily
Oconee, Cheohee, and perhaps other sections
of the district The Surveyor is, we under.
stand, without an adequate corps of assis-
tants, and is consequently doing next to moth
Ing. If this survey is worth anything to the
State, and we regard it of the very highest
importance when properly conducted, espe-
cally to the up country, il should be organi-
zed SO as to be made effective or abandoned at
once. We mention the. arrival of Mr. H. in
our midst, in his officially crippled condition,
that those able and willing may assist him
for their own and tho benefit of the public
generally.

HoRRIBLE DEATH. The Eceniag Meres
states that white man by the name of Pc

day evening, about 7 O'clock, lying across
the track of the North Eastern Railroad,
about a mile from Graham's Cross Roads.
The engineer supposiug the object to be a
bog, blew his whistle, but on a nearer ap-
proach discovered it to be q man. The

From Mexico.

From Mexico, &
The ncws from Mexico is highly impor-
tant. The capture of San Luis Potosi by
the Libcralist force under Zunzua, is an
nounccd, and the abdicaton of Zuloaga is
reported. The latter news needs confr-
nation.
The Brownsville Flag, of the 21st inst,
says
Col. Guadalupe Garcia, last week, left
Alatamoras with troops to reinforce tho
Tamaulipas division now in the field We
learn that it is the intention of the coipmnn-
dcrs of the troops of all the frontier States
to unite their forces, and together march
upon the capitol. The greatest enthusi-
usm prevails in the ranks of the liberal
party from its recent successes, and the
confidence thus instilled into the rank and
file of its army is equivalent to another vic
tory.
Under the heading, Latest from Mat
amoras," the Flag has the following letter:
rumor was in circulation that Presi-
dent Zuloaga had abandoned the city of
Mexico, and left the Government in the
hands of Canto, one of his subordinatcs and
two bishops.
." presume you have heard that San
Louis Potosi was taken, on tho Both of
last mouth, by Huazna, after eight hours
hard fighting.
"Gov Garza left Matamoras this even
ing for Victoria, on the way to Join Vida
urri aud march on the city Of Mexico
"Gcn, Santiago Vidaurri raised the
Mexican flag over the palace, in honor Of
our great national day of Independence.
Col. Wm. Henry, of San Antonio, has
issued printed circular to the people of
Mexico; or more properly to tic Liberal
party of Mexico, encouraging the leaders of
thc Constitutional party to pcrsevcro in
their laudablc struggle for the liberties of
their countrymcn, and Offering, in the
event of need, the aid U. himself and fol-
lowers. This circular has been published
in the Bolctin Official, of Monterey, tho
organ ofGcn. Yidaurri, which also contains
an article in reply, from which we infer
that Col. Hcnry's offers of aid have been
declined

" Prof s. s. IluIdeman, of Delaware Col
lege, has been awarded $3.50 by Sir WIN. c.
Trevelyan, of Newcastle on Tyne, England, for
an Essay on Reform of English Orthography
FOR which he offered prizes about a year ago,
open to British and American competition.
Ihere were eighteen contestants, four of whom
were awarded $50 each. Professor IL. is to re.
ceive an additional $3.50 in case he extends
and publishes his essay.
A London literary journal, from which we
take these facts, says, Professor HaIdema Is
essay contains a valuable outline of the theory
OF etymology, embracing a critical inquiry into
the value OF the Roman and Saxon a alphabets
and many bits of word-history, which are treat.
ed with much subtlety and originality; and
above all, with degree of method and preci.
sion IN training, step by step, the corruptlOns
OF oral language. The question of how much
assistance the etymOlogist can gain from Ro-
manic spelling is skilltully handled. and in a
manner very adverse TO the opinion of the Rev.
r. c, Trench
"The London journalist expresses a hope
that Professor Haldeman will fall in with Sir
Walter Trevelyan's suggestion, and publish
his own Essay entire
at is Professor Haldeman's intention, we
believe, to extend and complete his production
1t may be added that his literary study has
long been in this wide field of lingual inquiry.
Two or three years ago, if we recolIecL rightly,
he lectured, with marked success, at the
Smithsonian Institute, at Washington, upon
'the Mechanism of Speech"

Maryland Shareholders Convention.

A Convention Of Shareholders on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, recently met in Cambridge
to adopt some concerted measure TO prevent
the frequent escape of slaves CONSIDERING
the free negro population detrimental to slave.
~, State convention was proposed, al nd which
will be held in Baltimore next June, TO decide
upon some plan Of Legislation in regard to them.
On this subject, the Cecil Wig says:
"Generally speaking both those who own
slaves and those who do not, in this county. are
opposed to the continued agitation Of the negro
question; but as the ClnventiC of Slavehod-
ers devoted its attention more particularly to
free negroes, the subject is materially changed
and will not fail to create much interest here
Cecil has fewer slaves 10 be tumpercd with than
any other county on :he Shure, but she has
large tree cOlored population, on which many
OF our citizens depend almost entirely for labor
and any legislation materially affecting them.
Will affect the interests OF the whites and the
business u ihc c.uliy. 1t becomes important.
then, for US to consider whether they should be-
expelled from the State, or lepislaied bsck IN
slavery aga.H the voice of Cecil sbould he
heard n ~. 9tJsed Convention in Bitirnore,
and men who understand the interests of the
county, as county, and as a n integral part of
the State, should be chosen to represent as in
the General Assembly which may have occasion
TO Ia ke action in the matter.
"Tbat there should be some legislation in
regard to the idle and worthless free negroes
who live by plumber, in some shupe, will not be
doubted. Probably, it might be wholesome
regulation to legislate, also, for the benefit of
the white loafers and vagabonds that infest
every community. Probably. also, while in the
endesvor to correct the lazy and mischievous
habits OF free negroes, il might serve a good
end 70 aOate the mul'itudes Of little groggeres
kept by whites, licensed by the laws. @rounJ
which The negroes congregate, and where thcv
are corrupted aud oebauched."
