The Committee on Federal Relations
in the Legislature of South Carolina on
Wednesday last, recommended the pas
sage of resolutions declaring her right to
secede from the Union, and that her cit
liens should make common cause with
Virginia and sustain her in vindicatlng
the institutions of the South.
II So the Palmetto State has got a.
stride of her old hobby. What a pity
that the Whig party, with Clay at its
head, interposed "Compromise" iu 1882
aud saved South Carolina from the "dis-
eipliDe" which Gen. Jackson was prepar-
ed to administer to her Had the old
wsr-horse been permitted BY Congress. at
that time to enforce bis views, he would
have crushed out qualification, "seces-
sion" &c, so effectuslly that nothing ol
the kind would ever again have disturbed
the peace of the nation.

a Miser.

Michael Baird, (or Bear. as he wa
sometimes called who lived near little
York, Pennsylvania. was a miserable mi
ser. (His father left a valuable farm of
of fse hundred acres in the vicinity OF
York, with soue farming and house bold
artieles.) He kept tavern for Dum-
Der of yesrs--narried and raised four
children He. accumulated sn immense
estate, which be reserved so teDaciously
that he never afforded dollar, for the
education of his children. He was never
known to lay out Que dollar in cash. for
any article be might be in want Of; He
would either do without it. or fud soue
person who would barter with bin, for
something be could not conveniently sell
for the money. He farmed largely and
kept large distillery. which he supplied
entirely with his own grain. He kept a
team for conveyance of his whisky and
-four to Baltimore. where, when be could
not sell for money at price to suit him,
he bartered for neces- -arles for his family
and tavern.
In this way he amassed an estate, worth
four hundred thousand dollars. Such
was his attachment to money, that he
was never known to credit single dollar
to any man Upon the best mortgage or
other security that could be given, he
would not lend cent He never vested
one dollar, in public funds, neither would
he keep the notes of any bank, longer than
he could get them changed. He deposit
ed his specie in large iron ches., until
it would hold no more. He then provided
strong iron hooped barrel, which he al
so filed. After his death, his strong box
es yielded two hundred and thirty thous-
and dollars in gold and silver.
The cause of his death, was as remar-
kable as the course of his life. A gentle
man from Virginia, offered bim twelve
dollars busheI, for one hundred and ten
bushels of clover seed; but be would not
sell it for less than thirteen dollars, and
they did not agree. The seed was after
wards sent to Philadelphia, where it was
sold for seven dollars per bushel; and
brought in the whole, five hundred and
fifty dollars less than the VirgiDian had
offered for it. On receiving an account
of the sale, be walked through his farm,
went to his distillery, and gave directions
to his people. He then went to bis wag
on hou.e and hanged himself. - Belmon,

Execution of Copeland and Green.

At l04 o'clock Gen. Tallaferro, with
his staff, numbering about 25 officers,
having given orders to prepare the two
negro prisoners, Shilds Green and John
Copeland, for execution, took their de-
parture to join the main body of the troops
on the field.
The military then formed 10 hollow
square around the Jail, and an open wag-
on, containing the cofius of the prisoners,
drew up in front, with carriage to con.
vey Sheriff Campbell and bis Deputies.
The crowd of citizens and strangers
was very great-at least FIVE times as nu-
merous a. on the occasion of Browns ex.
ecution-nost of whom were already on
the field, while others wanted to see the
prisoners come out.
The religious ceremonies in the cell oil
the prisoner were very impressive. and
were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. North oi
the Presbyterian. and the Rev. Henry
Waugh of the M K. Church.
At a quarter before ii o'clock the pris
oners, accompanied by the Sheriff and
hev. Mr. North, appeared at the jail door
and With their arms pinioned moved slow
ly forward toward the vehicle in waiting
for them. They seemed downcast and
wore none of that calm and cheerful spir.
it evinced by Brown under similar cir
cumstances. They were helped into the
wagon and took their seats On their cof-
GINS without scarcely looking to the righ,
or left. The escort now commenced to
move. and the wagon was closely fanked
on either side by a company of ri6emeu
marching in double file lock step.
AT seven minutes before | / o'clock the
procession entered the field occupied BY
the military, and the prisoners cast a
shuddering glance toward the galloSs Q.
rected on the rising ground in its center
La two minutes more the wagon stopped
at the foot of the gallows, and while the
