South Carolina Redeemed.

South Carolina, according to the only
inference which we can draw from a some
what Opaque Columbia telegram, has
signaliZcd herself, and given striking
illustration of the wondrouS moral revo-
lutions and mutations resultant from our
late war, by being the first Of the States
lately in rebellion to acccde to that cardinal
prerequisite OF President JohnsOn's to the
restoration of Union fellowship contained
in the adoption of the amendment to the
National Constitution abolishinS and for
ever prohibiting slavery throughout the
country. The despatch alluded to an
nounces that the constitutional amend
mcnt was yesterday ratified Ill both houses
Of the South Carolina Legislature, with
very little opposition. South Carolina has
thus very scnsibly and gracefully, without
unnecessary delay, taken step which will
enable her to be represented III the next
Congress- and the avoidance OF which
would most assuredly have closed the
doors Of the National Capitol against her,
since it will be remembered that the Presi-
dent has heretofore officially informed her
Provisional Governor as well as the North
Carolina delegates who visited him on last
Friday, that the adoption by their Legisla-
lures OF the slavery prohibition amend
ment was 4 necessary preliminary to the
admission of the Southern States to their
former position in the Union.
BY this action Of the Palmetto State arc
now rendered secure the making of this
amendment portion OF the supreme law
of the republic, and the rendering Of our
great and glorious country, from its centre
to its utmnst limits, most cmphatically and
without the shadow of proviso, ''the land
of the free" There are now altogether
thiIty-scven States in the Union, the rati!i-
cation by The Legislatures OF three -fourths,
or twenty eight, OF which is necessary to
make the amendment Il part Of the Ma
tional Constitution. In twenty-five LcSis-
latrcs it has now been adopted, and in
three has been rejected; but one at least of
the lattor-Ncw Jcrscy-was secured by
the late election for its ratification this
winter, a.d it will pass in the Legislatures
of California and Oregon at their next scs-
sion. These will complete the rcIuisii e
/ number of twenty-eight.
The following Is list of the States which
have adopted the amendment, with the
date of adoption: Illinois, February l.;
Rhode Island, February 2: New York, Feb
i.'ary 3; Maryland, February 3: Massa-
c!nIsctts, February 3; Pennsylvania, Feb

The Hon. (C A. II. II. Dawson, native
of Kentucky, but a citizen of Georgia, who
made speeches in the South during TIE
war; in behalf of the kcntuckians in the
Confederate army, denouncing the Yam
KEGS and laudinS the Confederates i'll the
most eloquent manner, is now making
ing to Massachusetts prejudices by de-
nouncing secession as ''thc work Of cow
ards and scoundrels.' This man, Dawson,
sought Office at the hands Of the Confcde-
rate authorities with a degree of energy
and diligence almost unapproachHI4e; but
he failed in his schemes of ambition, and
he now goes to Boston and abuses the
people amongst whom he was ''bred and
born" and who filled his pockets with con-
tributions Gas they thoughD for the Ken

AcCIDENT.-0 Friday of last week
the Steamer Golden Gdte, Capt. KErcH-
AM, went to st. Helena Sound for the pur
pose of towing 4 raft of logs for the pier
extension at Hilton lead, and to obtain
brick for the Hospital Sewer. A party
of gentlemen accompanied the steamer
to enjoy little sport, in the way OF
shooting deer and duck, on the Hunting
Islands near by, which abound in these
and many other kinds of game. While
Capt. ketcham was IN The act OF
removing gun from the pilot-house,
holding it by the muzzle, the trigger
caught in the cushion, and the entire
charge of heavy duck shot entered his
arm at the wrist and came out at the ell
bow, tearing away the feshy part of his
arm in terrible manner. He was taken
at once to Beaufort, where the wounds
were dressed, and thence to the U. S. A.
Hospital at this place. 1t was at first
thought that amputation wonld be ne
ccss,,ry, but the great care bestowed
uoon him by DR.. WEEDS, Dr.. HUBER and
UiLers. whose names We do moi know,
combined with the salubrity Of the loca-
ii IN of out hospital, will probably save
him from this operation. At the present
writing he was improving. and in day
or two we hope to hear that he is entire
ly out Of danger.

reported to the U. S. A. Hospital at this
place for duty in April last. In May he

returned to the hospital, and about the
middle of July was taken sick and died
in nine days after.

ored fraternity of Masons follows its

sooner does adversely overtake one OF Its
members, than the helping hand of an
affectionate brother is there to alleviate
suffering and smooth the pillow of the
dying one.

WHEN the arrests of persons accused
of completely in the assassination plot
were being m'de, report was circula-
ted that the majority of the accused per-
SOUS were members of the Catholic
church, and an effort was made to create
an anti Catholic excitement on that &C.
count. The seQnel of the whole matter
shows that, of the four who were hanged,
only one had ever been q Catholic, and
she is believed b may to have been in
nocent of crime. OF the remaining four,
it is only alleged that MUD is Catho-
lie, and there seems to be some doubt
about even this. POWELL, or, as he is
better known, PAYNE, was member of
the Baptist Church, and the son Of a
minister of that denomination; ATE.
ROOT had been raised as Lutheran; but
is any person foolish and hi goted enough
to denounce either the Baptist or Luthe-
ran church rs teaching assassination and
