iues. and have been 80 active in getting up OPP
position meetings, to have objected to the drop
ming of the name of one who had been on the
previous ticket. No objection was made: and
the motion of Mr.. Moore was adopted unan,-
rnously. =,
1t will not be denied, by any one familiar with
the relations of the parties, that the gentleman,
on whose account the meeting has been $50 much
spoken against" had many warm personal
friends on the Committee of twenty-one. And l
have been assured, that som Of them did not
vote for him, simply because they did not sup
pose he desired the nomination.
What then has been the offence? Where Is
the ground for complaint? Am I not, from the
facts of the case, warranted in disclalming not
only for myself, but in behalf of those who call
ed the meeting, and of all who participated IN
it, all intention of injuring any one in the slight
est degree? I am happy in being able to STATE
that the friend above alluded to has said re:
peatedly that he was now satisfied that l acted
impartially and in good faith, and has kindly
promised to set me right with his friends. But

sist, that those who took part in the same are
entitled to the same favorable judgement, on the
part of his friend and of all other persons.
In conclusion, l trust / will not be accused OF
presumption in saying, let us not forget that
we are all engaged in a common glorious cause
that we have interest at stake, dearer than
life itself, in whose defence We should be united
as the heart of one man. Above all, let US not
quarrel amongs ourselves, and thus give the
enemy cause to mock at us! We are all per,
fectly agreed as to the great work which ought
to be done, let US not mar it by any contention
as to who shall do it. Who is entitled to most
praise, the agent or the principal who orders the
work to be done?
Be this as it may, there doubtless will remain
much other honorable service for US all, after the
Ordinance of Secession shall have been signed

A DIVISION.

The Grand Division of the Sons of Temper.
ance of South Carolina, met in its fourteenth
annual session at Columbia, on Wednesday Of
last week, and closed, after a very harmonious
and pleasant meeting, on last Friday. Notwith.
standing the rumors of small pox at the capital,
We are informed by our townsman, P. G. w. P.
Col. Beatty, that the meeting was numerously
attended by persons from all parts of the State.
Our ''brother of the quilp' Col. F. F. Marley

meetings for the ensuing year will be held Of
Sumter, in April baskerville, in July; and
Columbia, in November.
The January meeting, as it occurs at such
short interval after the November meeting, has
very properly been dispensed with; and the
Grand Division vii! hereafter convene only three
times a year. 1t is a signal proof of Mr.. Cooks
ability as Grand Scribe, that, although he has
filled the post for several years, be was re cleo
ted by a large majority over much opposition.
He has our cordial congratulations upon his sue.

TERMS--IN ADVANCE.
SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURES.

Our delegation appear to be sedulously at
work for the welfare of their constituents and of
the State. Col. McCaw in the Senate on last
Friday, and Jno. L. Miller, Esq, in the House
on Saturday, introduced bills to incorporate the
York Gas. Light Company. Col. McCaw intro
duced a bill on Tuesday, to incorporate the Pres
b~yterian Church 60. S. of Yorkville. Mr.. W.
c.. Black, on Saturday, offered a bill to amend
the act in relation to Inherent Statesmen, which
will no doubt pass, to the great relief of our
neighbors Just over the line. A bill to repeal
certain acts in reference to the registration of
births, deaths and marriages, was also offered
by Mr.. Black, on the same day.
MI. c. D. Melton has been reelected Solicitor
of the Northern Circuit. We rejoice at this
merited good-luck vf our able and worthy friend.
Isaac W.. Hayne, Esq, o native of York District
but now a citizen of Charleston, has been re-
elected to the post of Attorney General of the
State. York sends her motherly congratulations
to her noble son. The following gentlemen have
been elected Commissioner in Equity for differ
ent parts of the State s. J. Townsend, Marl-
borough; B. R. Campbell, Laurens; Silas
johnson, Newberry S. 7. Atkinson, George
town; D. Goudelock, Union ]. R. Beatty, Hor
~: J.. H. Pearson, Richland. Mr.. Campbell,
as q personal friend, has our hearty congratu
lations. He is the right man in the right place.
He ranks very high among the Masonic broth
erhood of the State.
An increase of the powers of the Ordinary,
from the number of petitions presented on the
subject, seems to be a very general desideratum
of the State. Under existing laws all estates
worth more than one thousand dollars, go into
the Commissioners Office for settlement; under
this. into the Ordinary's; 'and the design of the
petitions is to increase the jurisdiction of the
ordinary to estates valued at five thousand dol
lars.

CONTRIBUTORIAL.
Books.

The publishers have favored US with ~'lkie
Collins last novel, Hide and Seek. Collins Ii
best known to us by his Woman in Wh'fe-aI
admirable thing in its way. Hide and Seek is
less powerful, and yet the peculiar, suggestive
style of this author makes it a readable book
A deaf mute, Madona, is the heroine if a move
without love, with little progressive plot, and
no dramatic centre, can be said to have a hero
The interest in the unfortunate girl is %lessened
by the hidden part she is made to play. MIR
Thorpe, her natural father, is a respectable bigo'
in his social life, r~epulsive but eminently respect
able. SCOTS Fenella is about equal in dramatic
interest TO Madona. The novel is in every re
spect a proper one, but not a brilliant one-not
brilliant for Wilkie Collins who has thrilled so
many thousands with his Dead Secret, and his
Woman in White. The publishers-Dick and
Fitzgerald, Is Ann st., N. will send the
work prepaid for fifty cents. Mr.. Glass. sue
cessor to R. L.. Bryan, has it for sale in Column
bia.

but know that | love thee whatever thou art"
There is e. thoroughness in an 1rishman's love
that is refreshing-au out-and-out.nes an ut
~teruess, an absoluteness, that is peculiar. The
number OF poets-from the Wild Irish down to
Tom Moore-is large, perhaps fifty. This is
distinctly the best collection of Irish songs thai
we have. The smaller volume by Mccarthy,
published some years ago is not so oomprehen'
sive as this.
1t was Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun who said
81 knew q very wise man that believed that, il
a man were permitted to make all the ballads,

ence TO Ireland.
The same publishers have sent US also Ell

special notice of this till some more convenient
season; then we shall have n word or 80 upor
this subject.

THE McKENNA-WILL CASE.

We learn that the McKenna-will case, which
for the past year, has strongly exercised the
people of Lancaster, has been compromised
Mrs. McKenua, the widow, will receive one
fourth of the estate; and the remaining three
fourths will be divided equally between the
Church and Mrs. Mittag. The entire estate will
be worth, after the expenses of this litigation
have been paid, about two hundred thousand
dollars. The sale will take place, we learn, in
February ; provided the "~crisis' will permit.
Mrs. Mittag's counsel, Messrs. G.. W. Williams
and Allison, ]. Bolton Smith, VIM. A. Moore,
and John Williams, receive a fee of twenty
thousand dollars.
In every point of view, we think the compro-
mise fair to all parties. 1t will certainly be a
relief to Lancaster.

SYNOD OF SOUTH cARoL1sA.

This body met in GlebeSt. Church, in Charles
ton, on the 2s.h ult.; and vas opened With a
sermon by Rev. p Meouesnso 81 Sumter, the last
Moderator.
After organization, the Rev. Jno. 1. Kirkpat-
rick, D. D., was elected Moderator, and D. T.
L. McBoyd, temporary clerk. There were o.
bout one hundred and twenty members present,
of whom half or more were ruling Elders. The
Synodical Educational agencies were ell exhibi-
ted as in q prosperous and growing condition.
The Theological Seminary at Columbia, has
now a complete corps of5professors, viz: J. H.
Thornwell, D. D., L: l.. D.. Geo.aHowe, D. D.;
j. B. Adgcr, D. D.. James Woodson, Phi. D.
lately elected-and James Cohen, A. NJ. The
lumber of students in the seminary is 6fsy.sev-
en-. The Library has about eighteen thousand
volumes. A new building is needed for the &C.
commodation of students.
Oglethorpe University (Ga.) also in part under
control of Synod Of South Carolina, is moving
triumphantly on its career Of educating young
men, so many of whom are received into the
ministry.
The Female Colleges under the care of the
Presbyteries, were reported as enjoying much
public favor and patronage.
During the year, much substantial progress
has been made by the Synod. We. now number
just one hundred ministers, including eight or
dained within the past twelve months by the
Presbyteries, and excluding thirteen candidates
and several icentistes. Three ministers-viz:
Rev. Jno. Harrington. Rev. B. E. Lanueau, and
Rev. j.. L. R. Dsvies-have died during the
year Of each of whom Synod adopted memorial
papers.
To Synod belong about one hundred and thir-
ty churches, and14,00O members, Of whom about
one thousand have been added during this year.
The four P~resbyteries Of Synod have paid du-
ring the year about $4,000 to benevolent OBJ
jects-not including expenditures for congrega-
tional purposes, pastoral support and the Bible
Society.
