proprate 100000 towards the erection of
two laboratories in the South for the manu-
facture of implements of war.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIyEs-Mr. +. ID.
Richardson, of Charleston, offered series of
resolutions, declaring that the Harpers Fer
~ movement should he regarded as an as
sault upon the institution of slavery in all
the Southern States; that regarding it as such,
il was the duty of the entire South to make
common cause with Virginia; that the eX-
penses incurred by her in putting down this
movement should be borne by all the South
crn States, in proportion to their slave popu-
latien; that movement being the legitimate
fruits of the teachings of the Abolition States,
the SlavehOlding States ought TO demand in
demnity from them for the expenses incur
red; and that Governor Gist be requested to
tender to the State of Virginia the proper
tion which South Carolina may be allotted
10 pay.
Mr. w. d. Simpson, of Lanrens, offered
series of resolutions, declaring that IN the
opinion of this General Assembly, a dissolu-
ton of the Union is inevitable, sooner or la

require il as soon as possible.
Also, that South Carolina has been ready
since the passage of the Convention Ordl-
nance of 1892, and is still ready TO secede !,

The wlnans steamer.

THE Fastest VESSEL AFLoAT.-=Bnder this
caption the Norfolk Argus of Friday gives
very interesting account of decisive trial of
the famous Winan's steamer as thorough
sea-going vessel, which we subjoin: q
We arehighiy gratiied to announce that a
thoron gh trial of the Winans' steamer, Thurs
day, during gale of wind in very heavy
SEA indeed in weather exactly suited to test
her qualities, proves to the entire satisfaction
of the owners and others that she is not only
admirably adapted to ocean voyages, but
that in a rough sea, she is the swiftest steam
er afoat. The experiment is therefore sue
cessful, the invention, with the plan of con-
struction, a scientific triumph. While out at
SEA the roll of the waves was very heavy and
irregular, but strange to say, no waves wash
ed entirely over her, and she plunged on
steadily and swiftly, like some new-created
sea monster, fearless of wind or wave. She
proceeded sufficiently far to experience the
toughest of the sea, and it is very remarka-
bic that, while other vessels eareened and
pitched furiously, the Winans did not roll
more than ten degrees, nor pitch more than
three. 1t was decidedly uncomfortable on
board the steamer Young America, her upper
works sometimes being under water; and yet
those on board the Winans were undisturbed
by her motion. Her average speed at sea
fifteen miles per hour. A number of
persons were on board who are unaccustOmed
10 the sea, but nonewere at all sea-sick. Her
speed was not at all impeded by the rough
ness of the sea, the motion of her engines was
as regular as in smooth water, and there
were no shocks, such as are felt on board all
other vessels, when running in heavy head
sea.

PICKI.TNG MEAT.-Prof. Rafnesqne strong
ly denounces the use of saltpetre in brine
intended Tor the preservation of flesh to keep
for food. That part of the saltpetre which Il
absorbed by the meat, he says, is nitric acid
or aquafortis, a deadly poison-animal flesh
previous to the addition of the former only
possessing nutritious virtue. This is de-
strOyed by the chemical action of salt and
saltpctre and, as the Professor remarks. the
meat becomes as different a substance from
what it should be, as leather is from raw hide
before it is subjected to the process of tan
ming. He ascribes TO the pernicious effects OF
this chemical change, all the diseases which
are common to mariners and others, who
subsist principally upon sailed meat-slch
as scurvy, sore gums, decayed teeth. ulcers
&c, and advises total abandonment of the
use of saltpetre in making pickles for beef
pork, &c; the best substitute for that article
being, he says, small quantity OF sugar
which renders the meat sweetcr, more whole
some, and equally as durable.

Congress-


In the SENATE on the 18th petition was
presented from the Mayor of New York, and
other citizens, for the enactment of a-home-
stead law, and opposing monopoly of the
public lands.
Mr.. MAsoN's resolution to appoint COM
mittee to investigate the Harper's Ferry af-
fair was further discussed by Mr.. CLAY, of
Alabama.
On the 14th the debate was continued, and
after Mr.. TRUNBuLL's amendment to inquire
into the violation of the Arsenal in Missouri
some years ago, was rejected. Mr. MAsoS's
resolution was adopted without dissenting
voice. This vote is good indication. The
Republican Senators have disclaimed all
sympathy for the treason and conspiracy of
JOHN Brown, and, as an earnest of their sin
cerity, voted to investigate the matter.
In the House, on the 18th, the question be-
ing on the motion of Mr.. HICKMAN to amend
the journal go as to show upon it that he has
offered resolution to adopt the plurality
rule, Mr. SIcKLEs entertained the members
with his views against the idea of the North
being sectional, and denounced the Harper's
Ferry affair. He was followed by Messrs.
ADRIAN, CLARK, MCRAE, and others. The
day was consumed without coming to a vote
for Speaker.
In the House. on the 18th, Mr.. MCRAE re-
sumed his remarks and concluded them. He
was fJllowed by Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM of Ohio.
in speech against the Helper book and its
signers, and read from a circular which re-
commended certain extreme measures to
produce slave instruction in the South.
Mr.. AsHMORE, ofSouth Carolina, announc-
ed that ut this time that programme was be-
ing carried out in Sonth Carolina One of
those vile and Infamous creatures had been
caught in Greenville District with 10 or Is
copies of Helpers book for distribution
among the free negroes and non. SHAREHOLDERS.
Mr.. COBB, of Alabama, exclaimed '.Hang
him"
Mr.. AsHMoRE said they would. He charac-
terized Mr.. Helper as a renegade and a thief
from North Carolina--a man who dared not
show himself on the soil which gave him
birth. Correspondence had been found on
the person Of this DARRELL WILLIS that made
artling relations as to the completely of
Northern men in this treason, and the fact
was communicated by man who never
owned slaves in his life.
At halfpast five O'Clock a motion to adj
journ was carried by two majority.

The Southern Opposition members OF the
House OF Representatives held meeting
Saturday night in relation 10 the Sp,aker's
election. The correspondents Of . number
Of newspapers have given versions of the pro-
oeedings of this meeting, essentially varying.
The correspondent OF the y. Y. Herald gives

plurality rule was discussed, but 40 action
was taken :" and then be adds
All OF the South Americans will eventually
vote for the plurality rule, but arc not quite
prepared to do so in a body ut a period so
early as designated above.
This Is q misrepresentation. The Southern
Opposition members will net "vote Tor the
plurality rule" under any circumstances
whatever. 1.-THE plurality rule is adopted, il
will be adopted without vote from them
Democrats have made appeals TO the South
ern Opposition TO vote for their candidate.
These appeals have been respectfully con-
sidered. The Southern Opposition reply TO
them: "a If We should vote for your man, il
would not elect him; but ii you would vote.
In body, for our man-for any one of our
men-he can be elected on the first ballot.
You say the defeat Of the Republicans is all
you desire, yet you refuse 10 do the only
tning which can elect n Southern man.
II a republican is elected the responsibility
will lie on yoa." And this reply repre-
cents the true state of tie case, at present,

Gov. PERRY says :

There can he no doubt that the sO-called
Republican party, comprising a majority of
the Northern people and thus TO all intents
constituting the North, are responsible for
John Browns scheme of mingled villainv
and folly. That party. the Northern people
by the elections which have occurred since
the Hdrper's Ferry catastrophe, exhibit an
unmistakable purpose OF continuing in pow
er.
It's two great engines of influence, the
press aud the pulpit, are daily becoming more
insulting and aggressive towards our insti-
tutions and people. What else, then, have
we to expect, trhae the Union continues but the
repetition, no one can say when, where, how
often. or with what bloody issues, of attempts
like that lately thwarted in Virginia?
1t is worthy of a passing thought, that
though African slavery is no longer an insti-
tuition of most of the leading powers of Chris
tcndom-several of them. in whose dOminions
it once existed, having abolished it-yet none
of them show any disposition to interfere
with its existence here. The only States that
threaten our peace, are States united with
us by that bond OF Union. the Constitution,
designed to throw its egis OF protection over
all.

suffered in the cause Of abolition, and though
her flag waves over her own soil, nearly

Judge Douglas and the Administra-
ton.

According to the drift of the speeches of
some of the Douglas Illinois delegation in the
House. TO say nothing of newspaper rumors
from Washington. Mr.. Douglas is really dis
posed to fall back into the democratic fold of
the administration. He is sagacious man,
ard has doubtless discovered that his return
90 the full communion OF the democratic
church must be by the same door through
which he left it. He has not abandoned his
hopes of the Charleston Convention, and in
this connection his evident desire for treaty
of peace with Mr.. Buchanan is another proof
OF the moral power and increasing strength
Of the administration over the universal de-
mocracy. A few days hence, it is understood
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas-both of whom have
lately suffered severely from sickness, and
each of whom is still far from a complete re-
sloration-will leave for the genial winter
climate OF Florida; and we hope that to each
their visit may be attended by the happiest
results. We expect yet to chronicle the COM
plcte restoration OF the "Little Giant to his
former position in the democratic church. and
to hear that his naturally good physical con-
sitution is as fully reestablished OF Mrs.
Douglas it is hardly necessary to say that we,
III common with everybody, of every party,
and of every section, entertain an ''irrcp pres
sible' sympathy Tor the Little Giant" on
h.r account, notwithstanding his continued
pursuit OF that trcacherous Jack-o- lantern,
called popular sovereignty" Lastly, we
believe that return, politically, TO that eX-
perienced party physician. Mr.. Buchanan, and
a winter visit t1 Florida or Havana, will he,
politically and physically, the very best
treatment that Mr.. Douglas could adopt to
meet all the necessities of his case.-.N. Y.

Democracy could not elect democrat ; bat
union of them upon Mr.. GILAER, Or any
other Southern Opposition member, would
elect him, and defeat the republicans; be-
cause, in the event of snch union, there are
Northern Opposition members ready and
willing to cooperate and organize the House.
If the Democracy honestly desire the defeat
of the republicans, they can do SO, and or
ganize the House without further delay.
That they ought to "jump at the chance
the unprejudiced. will admit. The party can
lose nothing by the election of a Southern OPP
position Speaker; on the contrary, by doing
so, il would evince ma gnanimity and conser-
vatism that could not fail to be beneficial
Whether it will do this, is for the democratic
members of The House to decide. The choice
of Speaker is between Southern Opposition
member and republican. The democratic
members must decide which they will have.
