of MIR. Wright, he will remain dur
ing his stay in Columbia.
Sergeant B. is q resident of Dane
County, Wisconsin, aud during the
war was soldier in the Union army
-thre years West and one on the
Potomac. The origin of his present
expedition was as follows: In Decem-
Der last, While on u business visit to
town called Edgcrton, q discussion
arose between several persons as to
affairs in the South. One individual
asserted, that if tile "blue coats"
were Withdrawn, the United States
flag would be torn down and trampled
upon-n fact. that the people of the
South were like the Indians-un-
generous and unforgiving; and the
Sergeant wos appealed to, as a SOL
dier, to oorroborate the assertion.
He denied that such was the case,
and to prove his assertion, offered to
go through all the Southern States,
with flag unfurled-never thinking
that he would be put to the test.
One of the party then drew up tho
following document, which was duly
signed, aud is now being carried out:
II propose to go from Vicksburg,
Miss, to Washington City, through
the States of Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, South and North Carolina,
aud Virginia--passing through the
capitals of each. The trip to be m ade
on foot, alone, unarmed, and without
money. Aguide to be engaged when
necessary, out no person or persons
to be employed for protection, by
night or day. A United States flag
to he carried unfurled, except during
storms; but no towns or collection Of
persons are to be passed except the
flag is unfIrled. The journey to bo
completed on or before the Fourth of
July" !
There ,Das no zoager. The only
agreement WAS that tho soldiers
family should receive one dollar q
day; but, if he is molested, or his
flag insulted, or he fails to reach
Washington by the time specified,
the per dien, is to be forfeited. But
the Sergeant declares that he has
fully determined not to accept the
promised amount under any circum-
stances. He has received many beau
tiful and subs tantinl presents. He
left Vicksburg on the 28th OF Janu-
ary, and expects to meet his family in
Washington during The latter part of
April-two months ahead OF time.
The entire journey is about sixteen
hundred miles. Sergeant B. says he
belongs to no party or clique; but
advocates q convention Of soldiers
from the North and South, who, he
thinks, would 'straighten things"
very soon. Last night, he received
calls from number of citizens. and
wns honored with serenadc. He
will probably remain dny or two in
Columbia.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR BURNS. No
thing on the face of the earth equals
cool water as remedy for burns\ =
No application with which we arE
acquainted, IN exchange declares,
gives such immediate relief. The
burned portion of the body should
be soaked for n number of hours in
the fluid. We have known persons
whose hands have been severely
burned, to place them in basin of
water at the side Of the bed, and 60
to sleep, allowing the hands to re-
main therein oil night. In the morn
ing they were entirely cured.

The Charleston Ne,os says:


The Convention. assembled at the
usualthour. The President read the
following extract from q letter re-
ceived ''from a ting,,ishe3 gentle

Of the Constitution had been from
time to time transmitted as they were
adopted:
II have shown your Constitution
and Bill of Rights to many of tho
leading Republicans, who pronounce
them eminently fit for the corner.
stone of the new temple Of liberty
that you are engaged in erecting.
The Convention has indeed done
square work" (Applause.)
The President stated that he held
in his hand an instrcment consisting
of fifteen articles and 213 SECTIONS,
each of which had been read three
times and passed by the Convention.
They have from time to time been
reviewed by the house and properly
arranged, and now purport to be tue
Constitution of the State of South
Carolina. The question before the
Convention is whether, having passed
these sections, after three several
readings, they will be adopted by the
Convention ns whole. Shall this
Constitution be adopted?
Profound silence, amid which the
vote was taken and announced in the
affirmative without dissent, amid en-
thusinstic applause.
The President-(as soon as order
was restored)-I now announce that
this instrument, containing fifteen
articles and 213 sections, has been
duly read three times and adopted by
this Convention rs the organic law
and Constitution of the State, and is
now subject to tho ratification of the
people of South Carolina; and may
God, in His infinite wisdom, grant
that it may work good to our whole
country.
The excitement of the Convention
ut this juncture broke through all
bounds. They cheered, hollered,
cried, waved their handkerchiefs and
threw up their hats; Leslie seized the
arm of momber and revolved it in
a manner that threatened disloca-
ton; and the big delegation of out
SIDE colored spectators chlmed In
with righteousness that was not
outdone by those within the bar.
As soon as order was restored, on
motion of Il. j. Robertson, r.. j.
Coghlan, of Sumter, was called to
the chair, when Mr.. Robertson Of
fered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resoiretl, That for the very able
aud impartial discharge of the re-
sponsible and ar1uous duties gra-
tHitously performed while presiding
over the deliberations Of this body,
and for the uniform kindness and
forbearanco shown at all times to-
wards all of its members, the thanks
of this Convention be tenderod to
Hon. a. G. Mackoy, our President.

Convention adjourned sine die
