ice-cold water in the immediate neighborhood

ridge on which the springs are situated,
counted sixty FIVE distinct columns Of steam
rising into air,-in some places streaming
steadily upward; in others rising in puffs
like the steam from an escape-pipe. There
is spring, often described by emigrants
across the plains, at the Soda Springs, called
the " Steamboat Spring. which makes a

said, threw water several feet into the air,
but now no water rises to the surface.

while he prays work also,-even as our rev.

have no doubt but that Mr.. BUCHANAN knows
his duty, but, such is his antipathy to the
North, he will not perform it. Hewas prompt
enough to send an armed force to Kansas to
quell a local contention, but when brave
commander asks for men sufficient to protect
government property in Charleston and pre-
serve the integrity of the United States, he
refuses on the shallow pretence that it would
eVta1 the South. The people have especial
reason to be thankful that the political au-

that his imbecile administration will be sue

Senator Wade

/, This gentleman recently delivered in the
U. S. Senate ali admirable speech on the
disunion issue. 1t was an open and manly
effort, couched in plain and temperate Ian
guage, and full of truthful and unanswerable
arguments against the madness and absurdity
Of the views that possess portion of the
Southern people. He secuted the idea Of
peaceable secession, and declared that the
Northern people would insist upon preserving
the Union, and maintaining the integrity of
the Constitution, against any force that may
attempt its destruction. While he would al
low the South all the the rights it is entitled
to under the Constitution, he claimed that
the North had rights as well that must be
acknowledged that the South heretofore has
had things pretty much its own way, but
now that we have in fair fight gained the
victory, we are entitled to the results spring
ing thercfrom, and will have them. Secession
must be prevented, -peaceably if we can,
forcibly if we must. South Carolina might
be PERMITTED to make her exodus out Of the
Onion, and the confederacy lose nothing by
the event, for the State has been nothing but
a broler and disturbcr of our national har-
nlony for the last thirty years; but the pre-
cedent would be suicidal to a Republican
government, and if allowed would render the
Union mere farce, each State having the
privilege of Withdrawing at pleasure. 1t is
considered that this speech is fair interprc-
tation of the Republican feeling. In courte-
Gus and gentlemanly language he plainly
stated that the North would not cringe to the
South that compromises only to be broken
arc not to be considered, and that the Union
must be preserved. aH& .fs

South Carolina.

The State of South Carolina isFout Of tn,
Union at.last, or that is as far out as she car
get. Her grave and reverend Secession dele
gates met at Columbia, but were frightened
out Of that place by the small pox, and ad
journed to Charleston where they completed
the farce. A Committee of seven was ap
pointed to prepare an address to the people o
the Southern States. Committees were alst
appointed "On relations with the Slavehold
ing States" On Foreign relations" On Com
mercial Relations" and " On the Constitution
Of the State" Judge MceRATH offered a res
olution, which was made the special order 70,
the 10th ,nst,, relative to that part of the
Presidents Message, which treats of the Fed
eral property in South Carolina. He desired
that it should bo referred to Committee, .tc
enquire whether the United States, after
South Carolina shall Have seeded, can enjoy
such property consistently with the dignity
and safety of the State. The resolution also
proposed an inquiry as to the value of the
property Of theUnlted States not in South
Carolina, and the share to which that State
would be entitled upon division among the
States. a Il 81
RHETT's resolution for committee of thir-
teen to provide for the asselnblage Of a Con-
vention Of the seeding States, and fomr a
Constitution, was adopted.
Mr. INGALLS, reported the following ordi-
nance:
we the people of South Carolina in Convention
declare and oran that the ordinance drafted
in Convention of the 23d Of May whereby the Con-
stnton of the United States ratified and all the acts
and parts Of acts Of the General Assembly of the State
ratifyng the amendments Of the Constitution, hereby
repealed, and the union existing between South Car
DINA and other States under the of the United States
of America, is hereby dissolved.
The ordinance was passed unanimously
by 1863 members. go. 1a1. a"E
The ordinance was ordered to be 'engross-
ed on parchment, and to be signed by the
President and members, and be placed int
archives of the State. w i-t# q
In the debate on the adoption Of the ordl-
nance, Mr.. McGRATu said-What you have
done to-day has extinguished the authority
of every man in South Carolina deriving his
authority from the General Government. /
am in favor of this body making such provis-
ionai arrangements as may be necessary by
the interval which exists between this move
ment and the time the Legislature may act.
am not, however, to be implicated in the
idea that there is no lawful authority within
the State except the General Government.
Mr.. GREGG thought all the laws of Con.
gress should fall instantly to the ground.
Mr.. CnEEvEn said an immense change had
been made in the law. 1t is necessary to
avoid the inconvcniencies to the people and
must make temporary arrangements to carry

The supervisors--How they Work.

Having been somewhat familiar with the
working Of the Supervisor system in New
York, several of our readers have requested
us to give some explanation Of the manner in
which they are to transact the business that
will come before them. At the risk of being
little commonplace, and of repeating state
ments OF very simple matters, we will give q
very brief general outline of the manner in
which they will proceed. We have no copy
of the law before us, and can only speak in
general terms sr.s-.1.s....s-
| The law provides that upon the assembling
of the Board they shall elect one Of their
number chairman. The Clerk of the Dis
trict Court is er otfcio Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors. When the Board is thus or
ganized, it will be the duty of the chairman
to appoint q Standing Committee to take
charge of each branch Of business that will
come before the Board. Committees will
have to be appointed upon -"

ment with the County Officers;
New Townships; BE- -,
Taxation an Equalization. 80
These will be the principal Committees;
but others will Of course be appointed as the
quire. To each of the Committees will be
referred all such matters as are appropriate
for their consideration. For instance, the
Committee on County Accounts will receive
all of the accounts that may be presented
against the County, and after having exam
ined them and determined upon the proper
amounts to be allowed, will make written
report, specifying the amounts claimed and
the amounts which in their judgment should
be allowed. This report will then undergo
such further amendment as the Board may
determine, previous to it's adoption. Nearly
every other class of business may be disposed
of in the same manner. The manner Of
transacting business by the Board isnot un-
like that of any other deliberative body, and
is exceedingly simple and easily learned. n,
People IN the remote townships can place
their county business in the hands of their
Supervisor, whose duty and interest it will
be to see that it is properly adjusted.
Accounts against the county should lie
duly sworn to, as under the present law,
before being given into the hands Of the ST.
pervisor for presentation to the Board. Any
subject may be brought before the Board for
its consideration, by petition or personal ap
plication, as the interested party may choose.
By the adoption of a regular system in the
transaction of business, and by prompt and
energetic action, the entire business of a
County may be transacted in a very short
time, and with due regard to the interests of
the entire community -Hanailton Fireman..
