A PRETTY ROMANCE Spo1LED.-Thc
gallant" correspondent of the New
York Times went little too far when he
paradcd the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which
he profcsscd to receive from Col. Maxcy

be strictly true, (?) but certain are we
that this vcracious correspondent is to-
tai stranger TO Colonel Gregg. Colonel
Gregg did not know there was such a
bipcd in the city until the advent of his
letter, and we are Of opinion the llnowl-
edge which he now possesses will not

in an emergency like this, VIC arc sure

! -; sST uxs,,enE STATE CoNvEN-
IL sTThaSsHar arleston correspondent of
[tba Ns% York Herald pays the following
Ecompliment to our State Convention, now
sitting in Charleston:
"a Your correspondent has attended
many public assemblagcs, has seen the
collected wisdom of the nation in the
Senate Chamber of the United States, in
the Hall of the House of Representatives,
in the Legislatures Of a number OF the
Eastern, Middle and Western States. He
has performed official duty in the United
States Senate, in the House, in tho Legis-
lures of Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania. Ohio and Illinois, and in innu-
merable public conventions; and candor
compcls him to say he never beheld a
body of men in either of those assemble
ges that could surpass, collectively, in per-
sonal appearance, in dignity in that sol
id and distinctive attribute of the Ameri-
can character-indcpendence-the body
he has this day beheld assembled for the
purpose of adopting the Constitution OF
the Confederate States Of America
There was not mean looking man
among them. The physiognomies of the
miser, the spendthrift, the braggart, the
thoughtless, the dolt, the dcmagogue,
could nowhere be seen. 1t was, in short,
body of men who were born, who were
educated and who were designed by Prov
idence to achieve great things. They
were not all statesmen, although there
were many; they were not all politicians,
although there were manyof that class; /;
they were not all planters, although many
of that class; they were not alllawycrs, or
merchants, orsoldiers, or manufacturers. or
mechanics, or doctors, although there
were several of each class; but, as body,
they presented as fine combination Of
the true American character as was ever
congregated within four walls on the
American continent. The deliberations
of such men must be attended with tri-
umphant results; and South Carolina,
with the members of this Convention as
her representatives, may well rank among
the first in mind, as she has been the first
in fact, in the revolution which has secur-
ed the second independence of her own
and sister States"

CoNsERvATIsM.--Noth affords us
more pleasure, whether as citizen or a
public journalist, than to note signs of a
returning spirit of conservatism among
The people of tho Southern States. The
tendency to mobocratic rule has been the
bane of American Government. In the
North more especally-where there has
been less conservatism than at the South
Republican Government must soon end
in total failure, unless wise spirit of re-
form speedily manifests itself. Above all
of the States in America, South Carolina
has been conspicuous for her conserva-
tive institutions. What inestimable bless
ings have resulted from her steady ad-
herence to fixed and fundamental princi-
pies! 1t is gratifying to observe that a
most wholesome reform in the judiciary
system has begun in Georgia. The
change does not go far enough-accord-
ing to Carolina views-but as it is, it is
wise reform. The idea Of the ministers
ofthe law mingling in all the corruption
of popular elections for office, is revolving
to all sound and conservative principles
One step is here gained. We hope the
good work may continue, and that Geor-
gia will soon have her judicial system
purged all its prenicious errors.-Ne'c-
berry Conservatist.

A minister as much distinguished for his
eccentricity as for piety dined one day
with the senior deacon ofhis church.
The deacon, who was in the habit of
asking blcssAgs Of wearisome length,
was particularly prolix, and paused to
gain new supply of words. The in
slant he stopped, the minister sat down
and commenced rafting his knife and
fork. The worthy deacon looking down,
exclaimed, doctor! Doctor! Pm not

THE MYSTERY ExpLA1NED.-Thc Sd-
rannah RepuJ1ican of Friday thus clears
up the mystery of the schooner which
was fired into by our batteries:
asinec copying the article from the
Charleston Courier, the vessel fired into
from the forts on Morris Island has arri-
we'd in our port, and we arc enabled to
give full particulars of the affair.
"Thc Schooner is z. IT. Shannon, Cap
tain Marts, of Boston, and she was bound
for,this city with cargo Of ice, consign-
ed to A. Haywood. On Wednesday she
was shroudcd for many hours in dense
fog, during which she driftcd through
mistake over Charleston Bar. Soon after
the fog lifted, the captain, not knowing
his whereabouts, found himself nearly
abreast of the fort on Morris Island, and
while cogitatiQg over his latitude, he was
greeted with salute from the fort.
"Hc Immediately run up his colors-
the stars and stripes-but that demon
stration seemed an unsatisfactory answer
TO that summons. Several shots 0hirty-
twos) were fired into his rigging, one of
which passed through his mainsail and
another through his topsail. In the
midst of his dilemma, not knowing where
he was nor the object of this hostile dem
onstration, boat from fort Sumter came
to his relief, and being made acquainted
with the facts, he lost no time in putting
to sea.
"Thc schooner suffered no material
damage from the shots, though one of
them came uncomfortably near the head
of one the crew. Captain Marts thinks
there is no mistake about the Morris
Island boys being excellent marksmcn. .
GEN NBEAuREoARD.-Thc following COM
plimentary resolution, introduced by Mr.
Hanckcl, has been unanimously adopted
by the Convention:
(" "Resozued, That the thanks of this Con-
vention are hereby respectfully rendered
to Gen. Bcaurcgard, and to the officers
acting under him, for the very delightful
and highly interesting visit to the forti-
fcations in Charleston harbor, on Satur
day last, afforded to this Convention by
their courtesy"

The TRAITOR WHO WAS SHoT.-Twelve men
were detailed to shoot the traitor Johnston, who
was executed on Friday afternoon. Eleven of
the guns were loaded with ball land the twelfth
gun with blank cartridge. No one knew who
had the gun with the blank cartridge. The
traitor was of muscular frame, cool. bold, and
defiant When the word was given to fire the
firing party was abont twenty PAGES form the
traitor. He never 1inched. Three or four OF
the soldiers when they fred did not aim al
HIM. They have been placed under arrest.
AT the first fire, three balls took effect. The
traitor sat motionless for few seconds, when
he reeled over on his side and kicked violently.
Orders were then given to load and fire, when
three hal passed through his head, killing
him instantly. There were over twelve thou
sand soldiers present TO witness the execution.
Johnson was native of Mississippi, but had
lived in the North for number of years.

The Harrisburg Telegraph makes the sub
joined just comparison between the Messages
OF Pres. Lincoln and jeff Davis: ssWhat a
contrast beteen the style and temper of the
Message OF President Lincoln and that OF
Jefferson Davis The dispassonate
statement OF the affairs of the country the
other brutal philippe against the Free States.
The one breathing the spirit of generous state
manship; the other breathing wrath and
threatenings against twenty millions of people.
The one seeking to allay the passions of the
masses; the other appealing to all the baser
instincts of human nature. The one praying
that the war might .snot degenerate into
violent and remorseless revolutionary strug-
gle, the other tanning the flames of popular
fury, by every trick Of eloquence and argu-
ment. The one speaking with the calm digni-
ty OF the head of a great Government the
other speaking like the chief of band of out
laws The one addressing the reason and
conscience of Christian nation; the other
addressing the ignorance and lusts of the
rabble.''

A HEAVY NEWSPAPER AccouNT.-Among
the recent decisions of the Supreme Court at
Albany, N. Y, was one in favor of Mr.. J Sea-
bury against Bradford G. Wait for seven years
subscription to the Catskill Recorder and
Democrat. The decision was in favor of the
publisher, and the judgment and cost it is
stated, amount to between two hundred and
three hundred dollars. The New York Obser-
uer, one of the oldest religious newspapers in
the country, says of this decision: ssIt Is
surprising that so few subscribers fully under
stand their responsibilities to publishers of
newspapers. The law which governed in this
decision is law of Congress, and therefore
applicable in every state of the Union. Many
subscribers seem to regard the bill for paper
the last to be settled, especially the last the
law will enforce. Responsible men, even,
under triflng whims, refuse to take their pa
perS from the office, regardless of the payment
of arrears, and when half dozen more years
have been added to the arrears at the time of
stopping, think it hard TO pay the increased
blu with interest and cost of collection
