In our article last week upon the railroad,
we stated that encouraging accounts had
been received from portions of kcr-haw

ton above Camden would be unanimous in
favor of the proposed road and contribute
material aid. Since then we have been

Congressional Items.


Under dates of the 18th and 18th inst,
we gather the following items
A bill to admit Kansas in the Union as Il
State, with the WyandCtte Constitution,
has been introduced in the Senate, but no
action upon it reported.
The Postal Deficiency Bill was passed in
the House by II two thirds vote, omitting
the Senatc's clause, aboishing the frank
ing privilege. Being sent back to the Sen
ate, it was the next day agreed to bv that
body, and subsequently, signed by the Pres.
ident In the Srnate's Committee, the bill
.abolishing the franking privilege after the
18th April, was adopted with only two dis
| senting votes. But the House, unaer the
domination of Black Republican rule, has
prevailed in this matter. They could not
sacrifice this easy facility for disseminating
their abolition speeches.
Three attempts were made to elect a
Printer, but without success, the highest
candidate Lacking three votes.
Various bills were introduced and referr-
ed; among them, the French Spoia,ion Bill,

Mr.. Memminger and his Virginia Mis-
sinn

Mr.. Memminger has returned home
from Richmond. As uncertainty and lie
lay prevailed in the Legislature Of Vir-
glnla, npon the acceptance Of the propo-
sal Of South Carolina, that the Old Do
mniuu should invite conference Of the
Southern States, he did not wish 10 EN-
barrass their deliberations 10y longer
present stay, which would imply 100
much urgency and Fastening, especially
as further time was desired To obtain u
GaI. and reliable expression Of the popular
opinion of the State. And under these
circumstances it appears TO us that his
return was more dlgGified and delicate
than waiting upon distracted counsels
and AN uncertain event. But the distin.
guished attentions and genial civilities,
publicly and privately showered upon
him as the Representative Of South Car
oIina at the Capitol Of Virginia, were to
him an earnest Of the high prevailing res.
pect Tor his State, and Of the deep an d
growing atlinities Of opinion aud feeling
which possess Vrginians toward tie Pal,
metlo State. lie altests their tone, their
spirit, their warmth ; and he feels san.
guine that Virginia and South Carolina
will soon, il not instanter, be united under
that broa! banner OF state Rights, oi
which in past history they we're promi.
ment bearers, and under which alone the
constitutional rights or the political indie.
pendence Of the Southern States can be
maintained Charleston EOening Netos.

in the hands of the doctors, but they did him
no good, in fact, he became worse, until his
suilcrings were more than he could bear, and
he almost sunk under them fortunately for
him he commenced using lIolloway's Pills,
which acted upon the system, clcauscd the
