TnE FIRST FRosr.-OOr iiinesbaZh cor
respondent writes to us that the first sign Of
frCst for the season occurred there on the
morning OF Oct. Is. The freeze was pretty
hard but there was u light fog during the
night, and along into the morning, which
prevented any serious effects. Scarcely any
effect appears upon vines, tomatoes &c.
Corn has been very back ard, as we'll as
imperfectly grown N many fields through
out the county, and four weeks ago it was
feared that an early frost might succeed the
cool summer, and spoil it. But the unusual
holding off OF frost has permitted the corn to
become well ripened and the crop will be a
great deal better than anticipated-not q
good one, but hard on to fair.

The article in the Burlington Tines that
Gen. DAVIS was suspended few days since
by Gov. Fairbanks Is incorrect. Gen.
Davis functions as Quarter-master General
of the State, relate to the organization of the
&" Uniform Militia" which embraced the lat
Vermont Regiment detailed for three months
service.
The act Of April p, providing lOr raising
and organizing g six special regiments, y
placed the entire responsibility Of raising,
organizing, uniiorming, arming and equip
ping these especial regiments" in the hands
of the Governor; and 50 far as relates thereto,
Gen. Davis is not acting as Quarter-master
General, but a. the agent of Gov. Fairbanks.

SOLDIERS PAY-Congress provided at tie
last session for an allotment Of such part Of
the pay Of ldier5 as they should choose, for
the benefit of their families; anu the War
Department has issued an order to carry this
provision into effect. When soldiers have
assigned such portion as they desire, an
assignment roll Is made up, which Is to BE-
deposited with the Pdymaster General. The
money - cover this roll will be reserved and
transmitted by the plymaster Of the Regi-
ment 10 tho persons % whom 1t IS assigned 4,
and the balance of the rsgimental roll VIII be
pald to the soldiers themselves. This is a
verv important movement for tie benefit OF
the soldiers and Of their families. Now they
receive their pay in camp, and they are
without convenient means for procuring ex-
change and making safe trlnsmissi0us.

A South CAROLINA CHRIsTMAs.-A mer-
ry Christmas to our readers. We are al
ways glad to greet the recurrence of this
good old fashioned festival The thousand
happy associations-soc social, domestic, and
religious-that cluster around the day,
make it dear to the heart, and invest it's
celebration with joyful character, which
few can look upon with Indifference. But
doubly should the Christmas time now be
welcome to the people Of South Carolina.
1t has brought them honor, security and in
dependence. They have nobly led the van
i'll the great battle for Southern rights, and
it may be fairly said that they have won
the victory. They have awakened the sense
of wrong in every Southern State, and the
mutterings of the coming storm are now
heard from Maryland to Texas The thral-
dom of the South to her insolent confeder-
ates will cease with the year eighteen hun
dred and sixty. Already the morn of her
destiny is breaking. Let us hope that ere
another Christmas shall come round, the
work that we have begun will have been
consummated. in the formation of rich.
powerful, and harmonious Southern Con-
federacy.-[Charlesto Mercnry.

People who thus see Louis Napoleon for
the first time, are surprised to find him 60
large man. They do not often discover
the trick. His majesty, who has short legs,
and altogether is but meddm sized man.
sits III an open wagon on very high seat
so high that his legs are almost perpen-
dicular to his body, and be thus stands
rather than sits. Then to add further 10
the illusion, the seat of the gentleman at

than bis own. The two Wallets behind are

NUGENT AND DENvER.-The San Andreas
Independent has "private advices" from the
capital, that The Senatorial contest is mar
rowed down between Nugent and Denver,
and adds:
For several excellent reasons, admitting
the choice to lie between these two, we are
decidedly in favor of Mr.. Nugent, aud in
this we believe two-thirds of the constitu-
ency of the Calaveras members would sus-
tain us. First, on the ground of equal hon
esty aud superior capacity for the position;
second, because we believe Mr.. Nugent
more attached to and better acquainted
with the interests of this State and more re-
liable in the promotion of those interests,
should he go to the Senate, than Mr.. Den
yer; third. we favor him against this partic-
ular competitor because il has not been his
particular business during the last ten years
either TO hold or TO hunt oflice and, fourth,
because he has in our opinion, acquitted
himself as an opponent of the heresies Of
the Buchanan Administration with less re-
serve and with infinitely more effect through
out the late campaign than Mr.. Denver.
We trust, therefore, if such is to be the
fight, that MIR. Nugent may triumph.

CELEBRATED AUTHoRs.- Steele wrote ex-
cellently on temperance, when he seas sober
Sailust, who declaimed so eloquently against
the ilcentiousness of the age, was himself
an habltual debauchee. Johnson's ESSAY on
pollteness IS admirable, but he was himself

give one the blues, but he was a brisk livelv
man. "The Comforts of Human Life.v by
b. Heron, was written in prison. under the
most distressing circumstances. "Tbe Mis-
cries of Human Life" by Beresford, were.
on the contrary, composed in a drawing
room, where the author was surrounded by
every luxury. All the friends of Sterne
knew him to be selfish man; yet, as a wri

THoUGHTs FOR YoUNG MEN.-Costly ap-
paratus and splendid cabinets have no mag
ical power to make scholars. In all cir
cumstances, as a man is, under God, the
master of his own fortune. SO is he the ma
ker of his own mind. The Creator has so
constituted the human intellect, that it can
grow only by its own action, and by its
own action it most certainly aud necessari-
ly grows. Every man must, therefore, in
an important sense, educate himself. HIS
books and teachers are but helps the work
is his. A man is not educated until he has
the ability to summon, in case of an emer-
gency, all his mental power in vigorous ex-
ercise to effect his proposed object. 1t is
not the man who has seen most, or who has
read most, who can do this such an one is
in danger of being borne down, like beast
OF burden by an overloaded mass of other
mems thoughts. Nor is it the man that can
boast merely of native vigor and capacity.
The greatest of all the warriors that went
to the seigc of Troy, had not the pre- emf
nence, because nature had given him
strength and be had carried the largest
bow, but because self-discipine had taught
him bow to bend it.-[Daniel Webster.
