the members, one and all, would doubt
less join with him in the hope expressed
In the proclamation, that the favorable
development of the Islands, in spiritual
as we'll as in material respects, would be
powerfully advanced, also under the new
sovereignty. He would, however, take
the liberty to use this occasion IN earn
estly impressing on the minds of the
Council, and all its members 10 contri-
butte on their side everything possible
towards a happy transition from the new
existing state of things 10 the future. The
Colonial Council is at present the repre-
sentative of this community, not only in
municipal, but also to a certain extent,
in legislative matters; and it is to be ex-
pected and hoped, that the new Govern
ment will make use Of this institution in
the deliberations on the changes in the
Legislature, and the regulating of the adj
ministration, that the new relations will
require. Until that time the hitherto ex-
listing rules, and prescri ptions must of
course be observed; and he hoped, as
long as he had the honor to fill the Office
of Superior Authority in this Community,
and until the Islands be taken over by
the new Government, that the Council
with the same zeal as hitherto will con-
tribute its cooperation in all matters
which according to the Colonial Law
appertain to and come under it's compe-
tency. This for the present will be the
correct, aud only manner in which the
transition to the future can happily be
prepared.
From the foregoing remarks, no doubt
can be left on the minds Of this public,
that henceforth and just as soon as the
preparatory measures are completed, these
Islands will pass into the hands Of the
United states.
Included among the proceedings of
that day. the following proposal was put
and carried =
"That an amount of $4,000 of the
funds of The Colonial Treasury be placed
at the disposal Of His ExcelIency the Pre-
sident, to be employed as loans in confor-
nifty with the Presidency's letter of 9th
November last, No. 1865 and on such
terms, and conditions, respecting the re-
payment, rate Of interest, and security to
be given, as may be decided upon by His
Excellency, and two members Of the Colo
NAL Council, to be elected to-day"
The Members elected to unite with the
Vice-Governor for carrying out the above
measure, were Mr.. S. B. LANCE and Mr..
ii. KREBS.

a. m. Nearly all the stores are closed,
for it is impossible to do any business in
such an agitated manner as we are over
here. Part of the Episcopal Church has
fallen to-day, caused by the last shock.
We do not know how this day will ter
inmate. We are about closing the store
ct this moment say 10. 40 minutes a. M,
not considering it safe, being miserably
cracked and rended from end to end.
Write me about your state over the way,
and pray for us, as We do for you"
To add to the foregoing statement of
the late catastrophe would be, in a way,
wrong, and bring more things to the
minds of people. But what can we do?
We must report of what has taken place.
Yesterday at about II o'clock a. m. a shock
of Earthquake visited this island, and
doubtless, st. Thomas and we hear that
this shock was felt with more severity in
the country. Some more shocks have
taken place since.
Two gentlemen from West End re-
ported to as yesterday, that, from a pri-
vate letter, it is learnt, that a volcano,
of some considerable extent, had broken
out in Guatemala - South America.
Whether our distress and those distresses
of st. Thomas and st. Johns have been
the result of this calamity is not in our
power to say. Be it as it may, one ma
tural cause brings on another.
It would be adding much to the mis-
fortune of these days, to state more !;
but, since it is our duty, we cannot do
better; and we have to state that there
was o small shower of hail here last We'd
nesday night.
We would direct the attention of the
shop keepers-more particularly the rum
shop keepers, to the proper keeping OF
the Sunday, (or as is usually called the
Sabbath). But, in doing so, we would
suggest that all the shops, whether of
provision or rum, be opened until nine
o'clock a. m. on that day. Why? Be-
cause tradesmen in the towns are not
paid for their weekly work until late on
Saturday and really, it would be an act
of injustice to deprive these people of
the opportunity Of obtaining something
for the day. Indeed! there arc many
families, who have not the means to pro-
cure the necessary things in the daytime,
and with far more difficulty even in the
night of Saturday. Still, we say, the
Sabbath could be kept holy, without this
trifing breaking of it /; and, it may not be
our duty, nor, do we consider it our bust
ness, to express ourselves as to how it is
usually observed. In any way however,
example is better than precept.

Not single day has passed, during the past
four weeks, in which we did not find something
about Col WEATHERLY's emission to Washing
ton in almost every eAehanso that comes to our
~9s-~. Tho OF South Carolina is fast be-
coming odious in tho South, and an object of
derlsion in the North,-and all because Of
what? Because the Courier, in its over-anxiety
to obtain. sensational paragraph, published
what it was pleased to call authentic state
ment of his visit to Washington, given to it from
the lips of Col. WEATHERLr himself. We
have refraincd from saying anything on the
subject, because we thought we knew some
thing Of the gentlemen who compose the Senate
Of South Carolina, and more especially because
we have enjoyed personal acquaintance
with Col. WEATHERLY; and we did not believe
that tho Senate weuld send to Washington for
the purpose alleged, nor that Col. W. would
have consented to go on such embassy. We
we're satisfied to wait until we should hear
from Col W. himself, and we are pleased to
have it in our power this morning to furnish a
full and complete contradiction to tho many
false rumors and so-called authentic statements
that have gone forth in reference to this whole
matter. The following from Col W. will ex-
plain itself: @
To the Ed;tor Of the Charleston Dauy Ne,os
In the Courier Of the 25th December there ap-
pcared an editorial statement headed, In capitals
''The Reported Commission from the State Of
South Carolina to Washington, )" and on the 5th
January another editorial headed, ssCol. Weather
ly's Statement" it which ii is said, sWe sought an
interview with him" (myself), .sand from his lips
obtained the important in formation which we had
the pleasure Of laying before readers the fol-
lowing morning."
To all this have simply and briefly to say that
never authorized the publication OF any state
ment concerning my visit to Washington. I was
applied to for such authority, and expressly and
positively refused it.
have further to say, that the statements
are, in some essential particulars, inaccurate
For instance-it is not correct to say-and
have never said-that my visit to Washing
ton tsto confer with the President on the
probability of tho State being restored to her place
in the Union should she adopt the Constitutional
Amendment @J"t
Nor is it true that was 50 Commissioner Of the
State Of South Carolina, Of her Legislature, to
confer with any one upon the subject Of the Con-
stitutional Amendment.
.......-..~- .->-.-.
Der OF Senators for tho purpose Of satisfying nv
own mind, and to give them the benefit Of such in
formation as might be able to obtain concerning
the condition Of public affairs. 1t seems to me
that this was very proper purpose, which ought
not to have attracted any public attention, and
which certainly has been greatly misunderstood
and misrepresented in G very direction.
