S. C. LRGIsLATURE.-The Legislature of South Caro-
lima assembled in Columbia Monday, the 4th inst.
The Message of Gov. Pickens read on Tuesday.
The Governor states that South Carolina has
eleven Regiments in Virginia, and three the coast.
These, with other Regiments recently mustered into
service will make says the Governor, an aggregate
of something over nineteen thousand in
tua service" Besides this the troops of the city Of
Charleston, and 81 companies of cavalry in the sea-
coast parishes, making about 5000 more, are armed
and equipped and ready for service.
When the Message and accompanying documents are
printed, We hope some friend in South Carolina will
send US copy.
From synopsis of the Message in the Columbia
Caronian we take the following:
"The Governor gives interesting history of the
origin and progress of our difficulties with the United
States Government, the taking of Forts Moultrie
Pinckney and SUMTER and for the first time ives the
facts of visits of Caleb Gushing and Fox, LamOn,
Chew and Talbot enssaries of President Lincoln
suggests that citizens residing abroad should be
recalled audeS the loyalty of the free negroes in
our midst and recommends the remnant of the Cataw-
bas to the States care.
the State, and two regiments of infantry four
cavalry companies aud that the officers be appointed
by the Legislature the Governor with the consent OF
the Senate
He advise. that tie State pay the tax to the
Confederate Government and raise one-haf by taxa
tion the other half by the issue of bonds stocks
This is u of relief to people worthy OF the
consideration of the Legislature.
He gives the expenditures of the Treasury Depart
ment as ST. ,sS937ll7, of which S686,714 have been
paid by the Confederate Government-the balance he
has reason to believe will be paid when the Govern
men shall be relieved from the present great PRESSURE
On Wednesday, the 9th, after choosing the following
Electoral ticket, the Legislature adjourned, having
been in session three days:

ago that the Hoa. Kenneth Rayner handed over
his paw as a member of the State Convention,
about one hundred and eighty dollars to the
tF court of his county for the benefit OF the VOL

formed that Mr. Rayners contributions to the
same fund, since the war began, will not fall be-
low one thousand dollars, and will more likely
reach twelve hundred.-Rdleigh Journal
ExoRB1TANT PRICE OF SALT.-Some days since
Salt sold in this place at 81 per sack One indi-
vidua we hear, bought it all, and held it at SO
per sack until he sold at that price to another

And others charm our sons and daughters;
Years -yelre have fled alas how quick,

AN OLD POLITICAL JoKE.-A Washington
correspondent, 10 giving some incidents in
the life Of the late Col. Baker, relates the
following, among others:
When weavers boy, II was Bakers custom
10 manage the loom with one hand, and with
the other steady book upon his knee. A
friend, coming hastily into the shop one day,
saw him thus engaged, and weeping bitterly.
"What effects you, my lad" said ne; what
are you reading"
"The Constitution Of the United States,"
said the boy; "and here find that no foreigner
can be President; while l am English by
birth"
This aneedote was fret told on Baker du-
ring the exciting Presidential canvass OF
1910, by Douglas. In the summer Of that
year, q political discussion was held at
Springfield In which Douglas and Baker
we're the principal speakers. Even at that
early day, many Of Douglas friends bad an
idea that be was destined for the Presi-
donOy, aud Baker, ln concluding his speech,
jestingly alluded to Douglas Presidential
prospectA Douglas Immediately jumped
on the stand. aud as an offsett, related the
above. aneCdote on Baker. II was consid-
cred good bit back, and produced great
applause among the audience.
