GOVERNOR Scorr.-Thc Columbia
Phrnin, in noticing the return of Gov
ernor Scott to that city. from his late
Northern trip, says: F" He was success
full in raising funds necessary for the
present wants Of the State He will
doubtless recommend in his message
(and the Legislature, it is presumed
will carry it out, to fund the interest
on bonds due up to July last. It is un-
derstood that North Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee have made similar ar
rangemcnts. The incoming taxes will
he thinks, be sufficient to meet the in
terest accruing. The Governor states
that the excitement consequent upon
the election having subsidized, there ap-
pears to be a perfect food-tide Of good
feeling and interest manifested towards
the South-the very best proof Of which
is the ease with which he obtained mo-
ney for the State, notwithstanding the
financial panic.

Death of a Great Composer.

The great Rossini died at Paris on
Saturday, at the age Of seventy-six. He
was man of prodigious genius; man
also of prodigious Incidence. God gave
him the greatest talent :youchsafed to
any lyric composer of this generation,
and for thirty eight years he has hid
that talent and denied the world all
fruits therefrom He was a gourmand
and voluptuary. His years were spent
in ministering to his own vanity and
his own bodily comfort, most to that Of
his palate. When he was young and
poor he worked, never consecutively or
faithfully, but mostly on emergencies.
Having an opera to compose, and SIX
weeks in which to compose it, he passed
four of them in idleness, and then by
the aid of his fertile genius did the
work set apart in the remaining two.
His ideas flowed with astonishing rapid
ity. He asked only for pen, paper, and
a fit libretto, and, these before him, new
hesitated for moment as tc what he
should write. He would compose in
bed, and so incredible was his laziness,
and so great the fertility of his inven-
tion, that when a fine duet that he was
writing, and had almost finished, slipped
OF the bed and beyond his reach, rath-
er than get up for it, he took another
sheet and composed another duet entire
ly different from the first. At the age
of -thirty=fxe-at@the xery- -ern,rn of his
life, and in the ripeness and fullness of
his great powers, he suddenly broke off
work, threw down his pen, and gave
himself up to idleness and ease.
Up to this time he had composed
thirty-eight operas and some minor
works. Most Of them have fallen into
oblivion; the names only are remem-
bered. The unpublished scores are in
the libraries of the opera houses scat
tered over Italy-New York Sun.

Our LIVERPOOL STEAM L1NE.-The
Golden Horn, the first ship of the reg
ular line of steamers for Liverpool, has
cleared at this port with cargo of
1858 bales of Upland and lSS bales of
Sea Island cotton. Messrs. R. Mure &
Co.. her agents, having, with excellent
success, placed full freight on her in
good time. Her carrying capacity,
Which has exceeded anticipations, it will
be seen above, amounts to near 5000
bales, and is taken on a moderate draft
and a fine trim Of snip. The cotton on
this vessel has been received, not only
from Carolina and Georgia, but :Alaba-
ma is well represented, and our new
connection, Selma, in the latter State,
has fine shipment on board. The
agents of the line here, notwithstand-
ING in the somewhat untried character of
the enterprise, have secured a most
gratifying basis for future success, and
as al soon as the superior capacities of the
line are known, patronage will be OBJ
tained from all the great interior points
of the South and West.
We are pleased to say that during
the stay of the ship in port, her worthy
Commander, Captain McBeth, has made
many friends, and with his slillful
Steamship, the Golden Horn will GER
tainly prove a great success.-Charles-
ton Courier, Oath.

lous condition of our people, and that

lous condition of our. people, and that
if met in like spirit Of conciliation,
without the slightest yielding of z1ri''ci-
pie on our part, the government of the
State will be administered in the in
terests of it's intelligence, virtue, and
property. I suggest, Therefore, that SO
far as we may do so, without yielding
our opposition or sacrificing our princi-
pies, wisdom and sound policy alike de-
mands, that we should cooperate with
the existing authorities in every move
ment that may be made to render our
situation more tolerable.
But, fellow-citizens, the highest du-
ty resting upon us at present, 1 take it,
is, that we lay aside for the time being,
the discussion and excitement of poll
tics, and unite our energies in one great
effort to develope and restore our ma
terial prosperity. Our system of agri-
culture must be changed; the size of
farms must be diminished F; improved la
Dor saving machines and agricultural
implements must be introduced; popu
lation and capital must be brought into
the State; labor must be diversified !;
the cotton grown on the hills must be
manufactured at the water falls in the
valleys reliable labor must be retained,
or obtained and properly utilized and
by the persistent accumulation and ap-
plication Of fertilizers to our exhausted
soils, and improved modes of culture,
we must learn to grow on one acre Of
land what we have been accustomed to
grow on ten. These things, if the prop
er spirit can be aroused, are Of compar
atively easy accomplishment, and to
this end, l advise that existing associa-
tions under the name Of Democratic
Clubs, be kept up and enlarged until
every good citizen can be induced to
unite with them, not as political organ
izations, for any present purpose, but
that-they be converted into Farmers
Associations, and perpetuated for the
grand purpose Of enlisting tke-eo-operaz
ton of our entire population, in a de-
ternined struggleto overcome our pres
ent misfortunes, and restore our an
cient prosperity and happiness.

to do all her own work when Eph. had
three hands and the thrashin machine
at his house, and sometimes she works
out in the field, bound wheat and raked
hay, which, you know, is awful on a
delicate New York woman-'taint as ii
she'd been raised to it like we folks
and after all, just last year, Eph. went
and married another woman, real
young one, not over twenty, and don't
YOU think, this spring she knocked Ma
ria-that's his first wife--down with the
churn-dasher and scalded her. Eph.

about churn, ,,too. Both wanted to use
it at once. Maria had-i5 and her but

got mad, and Luce struck her, and then
snatched the kettle right off the stove
and poured hot water on her feet; SO
she fell down when she tried to run out
And what was theresult, finally? Well,
Maria left him; of course, she had to
