STEAM PLowrSa AT LAsr.-The following is an
account of the late steam blowing match in Chi
cago, given by correspondent on tie spot:
The Fawkes machine ,wasfrst brought upon the
ground and set in motion. The plows attached
to it cut nine furrows, each twelve inches wide,
made very neatly laid swarth of nine feet In
width and from two to three inches in depth!
The Waters machine then got under way, and,
afterso little preliminary arrangement start
ed off with thirteen plowshares in its rear, which
cut width of nineteen feet. and q depth Of six
inches, turning the sod in as beautiful manner
as the most perfectly managed single plow.
This operation was witnessed by the assembled
thousands, who crowded upon the machine in
such manner as to render the risk Of life and
limb most imminent, and at its termination called
forth round upon round Of cheers, such as can on
" arise from dense multitude in state Of ex-
citement. The result was so unexpected that the
demonstration amounted to enthusiasm. The stur-
dy farmers who followed this new propeller OF the
plow Share, were astonished to ssee width Of
nineteen feet turned as easily, and in much less
time than they have been accustomed to turn
single furrow twelve, inches broad, ana vented
their feelings without stint The distance ploughs
ed was about quarter Of o mile part Of which
was quite rough and uneven. In one spot the mas
chine ran up an elevation Of about one foot in
twenty, and dragged the plows, which buried
themselves to the depth of nearly nine inches,
with scarcely percsptible diminution of speed

Rev. W. J. Mccormick was dismissed by GER
tifcate, to join the Presbytery of Florida, where
he has been laboring for seven months.
The narrative of the state Of religion within our
bounds, indicate very healthy tone Of piety IN
our Churches; an increase in benevolent contribu-
tions; an awakened interest in our colored popu-
lation; and steady and gradual growth OF our
Churches, as evinced by the accession OF about
t,oo hundred to our numbers during the last year,
besides the organization of the Church OF Grtnddl
Shoals, with twelve members, in o most promi-
sing community. -:-....'
After consideration Of the report from the
Trustees Of the Yorkville Female College, the
Presbytery passed sundry resolutions 'commen-
ding the institution to all our people. as worthy
the patronage of those who wish their daughters
to obtain substantial and polished education,
and to be taught the fear Of the Lord"
Presbytsry is to hold its next semi-annual
meeting at Bethesda Church, on Wednesday be-
fore the first Sabbath Of April, 1860. May her
members all be spared to enjoy many such pleas
ant seasons, and in such hospitable community,
as x-Mile Creek Church proved herself to be to

rHE CHARLESTON COURIER.

This paragon newspaper comes to us this week
in an enlarged form, and with spanking new suit
from stem to stern. 1t presents beautiful ap-
pearance, and in dimensions,'is the largest paper
published in the State. Although large sheet,
it is filled with choice matter, and as CONNER
cial Journal stands unrivaled. We are gratifed
but not surprised at these improvements, for
having at one time '''picked up" type in the es'
tablshment, we know something of the way things
are done up. Every man, from the Editor-in-
Chief, to "Old Billy" in the engine-room, knows
his duty-and performs it. AS for regularity, a
Yankee clock is nowhere. We wish the whole
concern the most abundant success. The Courier
is published Daily and Tri-weekly-the former al
$40 per year, and the latter at SIS.

OURSELVES.

It gives us pleasure to state to onr friend and
patrons, that on the first of January next we have
determined to enlarge the size of the ENQUIRER,
by the addition of four columns. We have been
ieduced to this step by the constant pressure on
our advertising columns and in order to still fur
nsh fair proportion of reading matter.
For the next year we have effected arrange
ments which will, we think, very much improve
our paper, and render it more worthy the support
of the people. The Improvements which we con-
template, will necessarily increase our expenses,
and we would request those who are indebted to
the Office, to remember the printer"
In few weeks, we will issue our programme
for 1860.

little may expect from the result''
He is in favor Of Union at the South, for the
sake Of the South, and with the distinct and em-
'phatic annunciation that the constitution in its
broadest and most comprehensive principles is
to be the guiding rule; we may make common
cause with our friends of the South in going into
the election Of q President, nominated and sup
ported upon platform which recognizes to the
fullest extent the rights Of the South and the
equality of the States. Senator Chestnut is in fa-
vor of the State cooperating with our sister south
ern States, in the election of President, to the
end that union may be preserved among ourselves,
''however little he may expect from the result"
Another striking point in the suggestion Of the
Senator is, that we are not to accept any issues
cunningly devised by our enemies to distract. "Of
such character is the pretended issue Of q slave
code by Congress for the Territories. When did
the South ever ask for such code We do not
want it. It is the last thing that should be asked
of Congress. If rendered, we would accept the
gift of no such Trojan horse" We are only sur
prised that any Southern man would repeat this
slsnder on the South. . The .term ''slave code"
was coined North, and Southern editors should
eschew such base issues. .5S gs@
The slave trade may very well be permitted to
''sleep" for the present. &:
The territorial question is most ably argued,
and the argument and position of the author and
expounder Of Territorial sovereignty, is annihila-
ted. We regard this as almost triumphant answer
to Judge Douglas Squatter Sovereignty heresies,
and we think it picks so large hole in his bal
loon that, he can never keep.the gas there long
enough to raise him to the Prudential elements,
at least, by the support of the South. In fact, il
is now foregone conclusion, that Douglas can
not get the support of the South, and hope that
the Southern delegates to the Charleston Conven.
ton, will not consent to. the nomination Of any
man for President, who favors sauatter sover-
eighty in any shape whatever. Let us, as Sen
ator Chestnut says, ''sauction no other prlncl
pies than those Of the Constitution" which clear
ly and undeuiaby protects in the Territories, tht
personal rights of property, whether It be South
ern mans slave or Northern mans "clocks anc
oxen"
We fully and heartily endorse Senator Ches
nuts sentiments, that "sny Government, of what
ever form, wherever existing, which deliberate
ly and as system, makes war on the property
the citizen, ought to be abolished" !"
Take the speech as whole, it shows calm, dig
nfied thought, elevated in its tone: without blus
ter or bravado there is spirit and determination
and all the prerequisites Of a high, honorable
craftsmanship, and true patriotism.

CRIME.

The prevalence of crime, and especially, the
crime of murder, is alarming. Scarcely week
passes, but the news of some bloody and brutal
FRAY; at which the heart grows sick, reaches our
ears. What is the cause of SO much needless
bloodshed; and, what is the remedy? The causes
are numerous -
Intemperance is one. Judge O'NEAL-and
whose opinion is worth more ?-says two.thirds
of the crime committed among us are referable
to this one cause. A false sense of personal hon
or is another. This pitiable weakness is evident
