STATE Prison The various projects looking
to the repair, remodeling, removal, &c of this
institution all fell through. A resolve appro-
printing $4,000 for removing the institution the
current year, was increased in the Senate to
$1,000, but the House refused to concur, and
the resolve passed as originally reported with
$4,000 as the appropriation.
= The Charleston Mercury compliments
the expected Democracy as follows:
"Throughout the State the whole movement
is looked upon with profound Indifference and
distrust. With this feeling and these views
prevalent, Is absurd to expect-what has never
anywhere else been expected-unbounded hos
pitality to be lavishcd on the Convention, or
It's Plug Ugly DULLES and corps Of camp fol-
lo,uers, who, from the galleries would oyerawe
the body by outside pressure. The idea Is n
piece of Yankee insolencc, which We arc sur
prised to hear Southern men re echo"
~ The Newport News, republican paper
which supported the spraguc ticket, chosen at
the late Rhode Island election, says:-
"wo think that the election of the conserra-
tire republican ticket in this state, instead Of
proving any disadvantage to the republican
party nationally considered, will be Of inesti-
mable value, and that its seeds Of concord will
terminate at the Chicago convention into plants
of harmony which will send their brightest en-
blem to blossom at the White House."
REPUBLICANS IN THE SoUrH.-The Atlanta,
Ca, Confcdcracy says:
We have thousand Of men In the South who
are in secret utilization with the Black Republic
can party; and who, II the black standard was
Tomorrow raised In our midst, would be found

material "aid and comfort" to our enemies.
This statement is not much IL any cxaggerat-
ed, but the Democrats in the North affect not
to believe that there are any Republicans in the
South.
THEY GO PREPARED. One Of tho Pittsburg
papers says that one hundred and eleven barrels
OF old MOnongahela whiskey, which MIR. Bu-
chanan does not condemn, have been sent to o
steamer which is to take tho Pennsylvania dele
gates to Charleston. II is patriotic to take the
Pennsylvania beverage along, and we should
| the delegates Of that State might make the
above quantity last through convention week.
We shall not be surprised to hear, as goes the
Keystone delcgatiOn,so goes the convention. y

HEAVY IMPORTS. We learn that the aggregate
amount of goods passed through the Bonded
Warehouse ut this port, brought by the Cana
dian steamships the past winter, amounts al-
ready to over S25 900 900: the cargo brought
by the bohemian alone on her last trip being
valued ut over 81 600 900. The cargOes of the
Hungarian and Indian would have swelled this
amount considerable, as that OF the Hungarian
alone was estimated at Sl,O0O,000. Portland

RHODE IsLASD.-Thc Courier dislikcs to
yield up Rhode Island, but 1t must.-Regfs-
ter.
The Boston Fost, the leading Democratic
paper in Massachusetts, Of March oath,
says:
We have stated ut length, the nature Of the
great contest I'm Rhode Island; that the Dcmoc-
racy there have not in nomination q straight
Democratic ticket; that Colonel Spnguc is not
member of the Democratic party; and that
the Young Mems Convention" did not nomin-
ate him as such. Hence, should he be chosen,
eve should by no means be warranted in
claiming the election rs party triumph"
70 It is stated, and on pretty good authori-
ty, that one of the signers of the New York
Corruption circular, feeling very confident
that Connecticut would be brought up, offered
to bet ten to one that Seymour would be
elected. His offers were taken up, and he has
lost thousands of dollars In consequence How
sorry our Republicans will feel for this result

rTThe Washington (Ga.) Independent lcarns
that man by tho name Of Wood, who was
taken up at Abbevillc, s. c., last Fall, for using
unpalatablc language to slavery men. and who
received the sentence of thrty-nine lashes at
the recent Spring Term Of the Court at that
place, suffered the penalty Of the law In tho
public square on the oath ult. The punishment
was inflicted by Sheriff Moore with seven
switches. He was then Immediately placed on
the cars and sent out Of town.
CT The Charleston Mercury has the annex
ed reflection on the late Connecticut election:
"Tho times were certainly opportune for the
Democratic party. Business has been cloggcd,
in consequence Ofthe withdrawal to consider
able extent of southern custom from the pro-
ductions Of cutindustry. Strikes were
everywhere ris ng up in New England-the ev-
idence of n growing discomfort in the South was
manifest at Washington-the Democratic party
throughout the canvass openly advocated
squaltcr sovereignty, by which the people OF
the North could appropriate our territories
and protective tariff, BY which the pursuits
of their manufacturing industry would be slim
ulated. In fact, so far as interests was con-
cerncd, many Of their orators put themselves
practically upon the Black Republican plat
form, whilst they cast the Union into the scale
as the grand make weight in favor OF the DEM
ocratic party. All was in vain. The black re-
publicans swept the State"
CmcuLArE THE Local PArEns.-Mr. f. 0.
Wentworth, associate editor, with c. II. Paine,
of the Lincoln Advertiser, announces his rcsig-
nation of his editorial duties, which is caused
by want Of sufficient patronage for the paper
by the Republicans in that locality. In his
yalcdictory he says:
Republicans follow o false policy-if they
desire success in their campaigns-in the course
they pursue towards their party organs. They
can lavish their support upon papers published
nj n distance, which exert no local influence,
but they do not realize the Importance Ofsus-
tanning their home organs. This is their vulner-
able point, and through It they often suffer
defeat. In order to have an interesting, and
consequently influential, paper, the friends Of
the cause 10 which il is devoted should secure
