One of the most learned of the South Caro-
lima statesmen was founding, and was
taken to the home of an eminent lawyer
while an infant, reared and educated by
him, and finally taken into his Office. He
fell in love with his patrons daughter, who
reciprocated his attachment. Her father
protested, and the lovers arranged for an
elopement, which was exposed and frus-
trated by servant. The young man was
asked to an interview with the young lady's
father, who said that he "loved and honored
him beyond utterance; but you cannot
marry my daughter, for the reason that she
is aour S;ster!" We have this fact from
the highest authority, but do not think it
necessary to mention names.-Philadelphid
Press.
1t has been found, while firing OF the
"running man" target, at Wimbledon,
England, which is scarlet on one side and
gray on the other, that the scarlet dazzles
the eye, and is hence the most difficult to
hit, from leaving q red streak behind It,
which unsettles the aim. The gray side
was struck seventy -four times, and the red
only forty 1.-TWO times. It is o curious fact,
too, that those with gray eyes hit fairer
than those with eyes Of other colors.

Message OF the Governor Elect Of
South Carolina-The State Debt to
be Sacred-He urges that an PoItta-
cal Disabilities be Rerneved-Con.
gress 10 be Pettfioned for Aid to
Pay for Schools
CHARLESTON, s. c., june 29.-A full alb
stract is published of the message OF General
Scott, Governor elect Of the State, to be pre-
scented at the meeting ct the new Legislature
on Monday next. General Scott urges i'm
mediate provision for the extinction of the
public debt, 80 that at future time a new
loan.may be effected at lower rates Of inte-
rest, and advises rigid economy and equifa-
Bile taxation, to insure the regular payment
Of accrued and maturing interest. He says
no obligation of the State should be evaded.
With regard to education, he recommends
the establishment of thorough system of
public schools, and that Congress be memo
rialized for aid, as the State is too poor to
pay for them.
The crops, he thinks, should be diyersi-
fed, and law passed encouraging immi-
grafton.
de advises the Legislature to relieve
every citizen of all political disabilities.
The militia system ought to be thoroughly
reJrganized, and no oath be required from
officers savethat to support the Constitution
OF the State.
He strongly recommends the encourage
.ment Of railroad enterprises, and advises
measures for securing the immediate COM
pletion of the Blue Ridge railroad.
The penitentiary, Jail, and judicial sys-
TENS should be modified. He hopes the
Freedmen's Bureau will be terminated in
the State by October.
He regrets the occurrence Of recent dis
turbances in Camden and Barnwell, and
avows his determination to enforce the laws
Of the State against all disturbers Of it's
peace without respect Of persons. At the
same time he expresses his belief that no
organization exists in South Carolina for
the purpose of obstructing the laws. Every
man, he says, shall be protected in his per-
son, property, and the free exercise of his
rights as citizen so far as they depend on
the Executive of the State.
In conclusion, he expresses the hope that
an era Of good feeling has been inaugurated,
and that the martial valor Of the South, so
justly renowned, will hereafter be display
ed in supporting the flag Of our common
country.
