The Charleston Convention.

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.
The visitor at Charleston regards with no
little interest the Hall of the South Caroli-
ma Institute, in which the Democratic Ma
tional Convention is to be held on the 23d
of April next. The audience room is spa
cious, admirably lighted by long windows
on three sides, and is capable of seating
$500 persons. A stage occupies the end,
and there are galleries upon three sides.
There are also convenient private rooms on
both floors, and easy access is had to all the
different apartments. The ceiling is beauti-
fully painted in fresco by no less an artist
than the brother of Garibaldi, the hero of
Italy. The entire hall has been recently
fitted up with special reference to the meet
ing of the Convention. The proceedings of
that body will have no small influence in
shaping the future destiny of the States. All
look with anxiety to the result of its decla-
rations, and not few have predicted that
the Convention will be broken up, or at least
that its harmony will be impaired, by the
action of the delegations of certain States.
That there will be exciting times none can
doubt, but it is the opinion of wise men here,
that the South will be unit in support OF
the action of the Convention, and that,
though impulsve men may talk, it will
neither bolt the platform nor the nomination.
The excitement, both here and at the
North, | am convinced, is gradually subsid-
ing, and the efforts of calm, good men of
both sections to conciliate the present feel
ing of sectional bitterness, to correct errone-
Gus impressions, and to adjust existing diff
culties, are meeting with gratifying success.
Where the mutitudes who will be present
at the coming Convention, will be lodged
and fed, is question of considerable interest.
The greater part of the available space of
the principal hotels and boarding houses has
already been engaged, and those who apply
late will fare badly. Nevertheless, exten
sive preparations have been made for the
accommodation of visitors, and all that can be
done for their comfort, will be. Charleston
has two fine Notes.-The Mills House and
the Charleston Hotel. The latter, for good
accommodations, substantial fare, and atten-
tive walters, is not surpassed by any in the
country. 1t is a granite edi6ce, faced by an
imposing colonnade, and is one of the chief
architectural ornaments of the city. 1t is
also a"Union" house its management, we
believe, being equally divided between
n Orthern and Southern men.

The APPEARANCE OF THE JUDGES OF THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Pla,ndealer, who has lately been
in the Supreme Court room at Washington,
says:
First on the bench sat Clifford, fat and sleek,
with no gray hairs, and weighing, 1 should
Judge, two hundred pounds. Next, Grier,
about the same size and quite gray headed !;
then Wayne, with light, but not gray hair,
and about one hundred and fifty pounds
weight; next, Mclean, with scarcely white
hair, though far advanced in age, looking
hale and hearty, and of about two hundred
pounds weight. Catron, with silver hair,
but not so large as Mclean. Next, Nelson,
with whiskers from his ears round under his
chin, and the only one who had whisker.
He would weigh one hundred and eighty or
more last, Judge Campbell, the only bald
headed man. He had silver side locks, and
above medium size. Altogether, it is a
weighty body. In front of the Judges
Bench livery fine arm chairs) are the busts
of the venerable Chief Justices Marshall,
Rutledge, Jay and Ellsworth. The court
room is small, but not large enough to hold
more than fifty persons.

WRITTEN FOR THE PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
FROST-WORK.


Out of the clasp of some purple dream,
When Aurora eyes on my eyellds beam,
start to see
With chd-like gee-
Rare pictures, upon my window gleam-
Waving forests of graceful trees,
With winding rivers and sparkling seas,
And glistening towers,
And fairy. bowers,
Where a dainty elf might sit at ease;
Grand old Cities with many dome
Such as the eastern world hath known,
All walled in
Like famed Pekin
Which the Chinese Tartar calls his home
The cocoa tree, and the broad-leaved palm
That grow in eastern isles of balm,
Where vines feStoOn
All the sultry noon,
And life is one perennial calm;
And, too, mimic Arctic sea,
With an ice-bound ship, froze helplessly,
While round it rise
To the staring skies,
Ice-fanes, the Storm.God loves to see.
Who has wrought all this? What can it mean!
This painted glory-this sculptured sheen?
So artistlke, pure,
One is almost sure,
lis pictured view of some living scene
All! after the middle watch of night,
When the moon half hid her horned light
Through the murky gloom
OF my quiet room,
Jack Frost stole in with footstep light.
He built the cities, he planted the trees,
He poured the water in all the seas,
He rugged the ships,
He opened the lips,
OF petrfed roses, for petrified bees !
When | was merry little maid,
What bounding beat my pulses played,
As from dreams woke,
And around me broke
The glorious things, that are here portrayed.
How scanned with painting leaps of heart,
My mimic gallery of art
And my grateful prayer,
Through the frosty air,
Went up to the Fathers loving heart.
Oh. for that credulous heart again
That made me think on that window-pane,
My angel for me,
Had pictured to see,
Grove, and city, and ship, and fame.

Y We the undersigned resident citizens
.tof Howard County Iowa, having been
called upon by our fellow citizens to So
Iicit subscriptions and donations to the
\ North Iowa Railroad Company, beg
leave to present the following facts for
your consideration.
n The country embracing the ten North
a9Easterly Counties Of our State, you will
And by reference to the Census Report
OF the present year Is unsurpassed by
any equal portion Of our country, repre-
] sented by an equal population, in the
amount and quality of its products; or,
in the extent Of general improvement.
is believed by us, that the Reports
I'LL demonstrate that the first six coun-
ties West Of McGregor, with an aver
age Of only six years, has this year pro-
1uced one third as much wheat as the
great State of Ohio, with a population
Of 100000, did in the past year. Not
Notwithstanding this surprising fact. our
lands are hardly saleable at from So to
80, per. acre, while lands in Ohio are
worth from$2o, to $50, per-, acre. We
bink that no portion of our country
has any more, perhaps not as many nat
ral advantages as we possess; our eli
hate is healthy-soil of the best quail
~, with a plentiful supply of water and
timber, we'll diversified, and our streams
furnishing great amount of hydraulic
power, for manufacturing purposes.
: We belive that your interests and
~s, are identical. We live beside
our lands, and if by our skill and toll,
r lands become valuable, yours do

nth any more than they were ten

licityour material aid" in securing the
location of the above mentioned Road,
through the central portion of our coun-
\. The average distance of our farms
this county, from market is about 70
les:-so far, that land without the facil
3 that r. r. wouldafford, will nev-
bring anything like their real value.
The North Iowa 4. R. has been organ
for the purpose of cons tructing a
pad from McGregor, to some eligable
sint on the Cedar River, and in order
tosecure the location of the road through
our County, the Company ask us to

ton, but a matter Of history. We VEN
ture nothing in declaring that any and
every rational hope will be more than
realized.
You are probably aware that the
greater portion of the lands in this coun-
ty were only brought into market in
May, 1857. In 1855 there were not
more than twenty families in the County
and no considerable settlements we're
made until the spring Of 1856. But in
the space of four years, Notwithstanding
two years of general deluge and frost,
our products have grown from nothing
to the sum Of 3d. 1000 bushels of wheat;
about the same yield of corn; about
$4,000 worth Of cattle and horses,
with pork and other produce in proper
ton.
The taxable value of the Road and
its appointments when completed
through the county will be some $780,
600; or more than half of the present
valuation Of the taxable property of the
county: which will diminish your taxes
at least one third.
In conclusion we would say that were
we able we would not call upon the land
ed interest held by non-residents for
assistance; but necessity compels US to
resort to this method. In view of these
facts we shall rely upon you, in common
with other non residents. for a liberal
donation of lands, or subscription to the
stock of the company; believing that our
mutual interest will induce us to act
promptly; and by securing our individ-
ual interest, confer benefit upon all.
We hope you will consider our appeal
With favor. We have taken the liberty
of enclosing to your address blanks; be.
ing release of the right of way, and
choice between donation of lands, or
conditional subscription to the stock of
the Company, witha blank acknowledge
ment. May we not ask your cordial
assistance in this emergency. If you
regard the enterprise with favor, will
you not be kind enough to sign and &C.
knowledge the blank as liberaly as your
judgment shall dictate; returning thu
blank by nail to ]. F. MITCHELL,
