SCENES WITHOUT,

There is no doubt that had not the tenn
porizing measures of few of the calmer
and more sensible men in the Convention
prevailed, the affair would have resulted in
serious manner. Only the presence and
counsels of delegates possessing the conf
debce of the outside throng prevented
bloodshed. The threats made were loud
and saDguinary, and spark only would
have ignited spirit ripe for any evil. DR..
Mackey, however, took occasion to say to
a crowd outside that he did not hold Mr.
Logan at all responsible for the publica.
ton, and in vituperative language charged
it upon Mr.. Rhett, the,editor Of the Mer.
curry.
Mr.. Logan has but a single bruise, and
that is on his forehead. The only wonder
is that, under the circumstances, first Of
being assaulted by amuch larger man than
himself, and secondly of being threatened
with still more severe punishment by ar
excited crowd, he escaped so well.

New jury Order.

We learn, from the Charleston News, that Gen.
Candy has issued new and important jury or
der, materially different from the one heretofore
in force, in South Carolina, and more liberal in
its provisions. An important improvement made
by General Candy On his former orders is that
jury lists in the future are only to comprehend
all male citizens who have paid taxes within
twelve months preceding; and, further, that a
Judge may set aside any juror for personal UNI
fitness by reason of intellectual disqualifcations
The Court of Common Pleas and General Ses-
sions are also invested with new privileges.
The law in relation to tenants referred to, au-
thorizes any magistrate-in the case of any ten
ant at will under contract, who shall refuse or
neglect to quit the premises occupied by him
when required, or upon the expiration of the con-
tract letting the same-to require the tenant to
show cause why he should not be elected, and if
no sufficient cause be shown, then to cause the
said tenant to be elected at once.
The order applies only to the State of South
Carolina; but we publish the substance of it, as
above, as an evidence of an improved spirit of
hberality ON the part of Gen Candy; and under
the impression that a similar change will be made
in the jury order of this State Wilmington, Star.

HISTORIES OF WAR.-We have hereto
fore cautioned the public against purchasing histories
of the late by interested and preudced writer's;
and especially the book of e. A. Pollard, called the
Lost Cause" We confirmed in the correctness
of this caution by reading article in the February
number of the Land we Love, by Gen D. Ii. Hill,
headed The Lost Despatch, Pollard's book accuses
Gen. D. H. Hill of being responsible for atfording
Gen. Mcclellan and the Federal army important in
formation because Gen. HILL in fit of passion threw
a dispatch of Gen. Lee the ground, which was af-
forwards picked up by Federal soldier and COM
muncated to Gen. Mcclellan. Gen. Hill, in ar
tcle containing incontrovertible testimony, shows
that Pollard has slandered him in the grossest man
nCr, and that his statements in regard to the matter
destitute of truth No southern man, who SYM
pathises with the brave men from all the Southern
States who fought in the Confederate armies ought
to encourage such miserable one-sided history as
Pollard's book.

ers are expected to arrive soon. The means of
living are so abundant and cheap in the thickly
settled neighborhood around the College, that all
the advantages of the most liberal education may
be obtained at less expense than the charges of
almost any country school. Candidates for the
