ually down into the deep part, that they could
enjoy this pleasure with entire safety; even
running their horses in the water, highly
amused at the immense splashing that en-
sued; at other times they would like better
to hear the crunching of the shells under their
horscs's feet. But either way would return
home with healthier complexion, brighter
eyes, and an appetite putting Island hospitali-
ty very strongly to the test An appetite
sharpened by the exercise and sen air, always
beginning, never ending; exemplifyng the
truth of the proverb in another way also,
"That to the hungry man everything bitter
is swect;" not that the Island fare was " bit
ter" with oysters, fish, and crabs, to help it
out. The oysters, often just taken from the
water, were roasted by the kitchen fire, the
young people standing round the great brick
fireplace, opening them with their oyster
knives This thing of opening oysters is quite
an art to the uninitatcd, and only acquired by
experience. What is the use of getting the
oysters if you cannot open their shells In
order to do so cffcctually, you must first pro-
vide good glowing bed of GOALS, put your
oysters in till the mouths of the shells begin
to open, then while they are hot, insert your
oystcr-knife between the edges of the shells,
they will separate very easily. They arc much
nicer, we think, in this way, than eaten raw,
which, however, many prefer to any kind or
manner of cooking.

holIowing and sailing of hats into the air than
it has ever been our fortune to witness at any
previous time. Col. AsIIMoRE was there in
as good and animated spirits as we have ever
seen him He addressed the people with one
of his best, short and sweet speeches. w,
have thought that he could come the ncar,
splitting fire of any man that we have ever seen
or heard speak. He was frequently applaud
cd by the boys of the 5th Regiment, with
shouts of wel-donc. We will say for the
Colonel that we think he is one of the men for
the times, amongst the many we need, as we
do not think that fear has any place in his
breast neither do we believe that he will
prove rccrcant 80 the vows which he has made
time and again-no, not for the sake of re-
tanning life, reputation, property, or any other
clement which time affords. We cannot
doubt his hte gritty by any means. Success to

New Jersey, the only Northerm State that
was not overwhelmed by Lincolnsln has
glorious record in the following extract from
late report of the judiciary Committee of
the Senate:
New Jersey has fulfilled every obligation
to the Constitution she has no personal lib
orty bills on her statute book, and her laws
for the rendition of fugitivcs from service
were enacted to carry out the provisions of
the Fugitive Slave Law of 1903. Being
border State, Fugitiycs have great facilities
for taking refuge on her soil, but they have
invariably been delivered upon claim of the
party entitled thereto, under her laws. The
Act concerning fugitive slaves authorizes
their reclamation either by the Acts of the
Legislature or of Congress, and the keeper of
the State Prison, and shcriGs and County
Jalors are required to receive and safely keep
in their prisons all persons committed under
the authority of the United States, till dis
charged by due course of law"
The report also mentions that citizens of
Southern States, having a temporary residence
in New Jersey, are permitted to bring with
them personal slaves, and take with them
their servants on removal out of the State.
WAsmNGToN, January 22,-Bills are be-

We learn that large number of the frcccol-

serve her in any capacity they may be as

SoUTH CAROLINA COMMISSIONERS TO THE

communicated his letter to the President,
Saturday, says dispatch from here 20 the
New York Herald 1t is not in the shape of
a demand, as at first presented but it is
couchod in moderate and temperate language
He has been induced to this moderation of
the ultimatum of South Carolina by the exist
ing state of feeling here among the Southern
men. The communication was submitted to
and approved by Senators Hunter and Mason
of Virginia, before it was sent to the Presi-
dent. While South Carolina does not yield
the position which she first assumed, yet she
is disposed to properly appreciate the embar-
rassed position Of the present Administration
