voyage to Galveston, which point she
left New Years day. The lapse Of time
between the two dates would intimate
that her trip was a delayed one. Her
return voyage as far as Key West was
without incident, and she departed
from that place Thursday, the 7th inst.
Fair winds and smooth sea were her
portion for a few days. and Fate ap-

With Monday came tolerably brisk
gale, and the light was dark and cloudy.
Towards 8 or 8 o'clock, it became in-
possible to control the direction of the
vessel and at 10 o'clock, she ran ashore
on the shoals Of Cape Lookout, and was,
in few hours, dashed to pieces by the
breakers.
AT 2 o'clock, she was a complete
wreck, and the means of the dying min
gled with the clashing Of the broken
timbers, were ESQ terrible as to create
shuddcr in the most resolute, and to
evoke prayer from the most hardened.
All was confusion, and each moment
the gaping.sea claimed its victim. The
majority shere found 'wa'ery grave;
while others, clinging with desperation
to the shattered, floating pieces of the
wreck, escaped momentary death and
were thus enabled to offer few prayers
ere their agonizcd hearts ceased in their
pulsations and their bruised bodies
sank beneath the stormy waters OF the
Atlantic.

Those who have heard him, will ccr-
taioly remember, for many day, the
able and touching manner in which he
acts as an ambassador for God. The cf-
fects Of his sermons mus be lasting and
beneficial Great and solemn truths
uttered by a man who feels, and makes
his hearers feel their importance, can
not fall powcrless to the ground. Those
who staid away, have lost great oppor-

to preach, we hope our people will turn
out generally to hear him. We hope
he may favor our town with frequent
visits.

for again imposing tax on the staple
Of three cents per pound, was the sub
ject Of general remark in our cotton cir
cles. IF the Government had the cash
to buy the entire crop Of the conntrS
and place less on the market than Was
impcratively required by the demand
it could control prices, or ot least force
them up to a point at which they would
stop consumption. But where author
ity for such measure is 10 be found IN
the Constitution, or where the money IS
to come from TO control the crop, 1t
would be 'liflicult to say. We apprehend
that the farmers of this bill had no ex-
pcctation Of accomplishing the enact
ment of anv law containing such pro-
visions. But if, either from its con-
stitutional defects or the poverty of its
treasury, the Government is unable to
play the role of the spcculator, it has
both the power and will to imposetdxcs.
Hence the proposed tax Of three cents
per pound on all cotton not soldto the
Treasury agents, with drawbacks in Ia
vor of manufacturers Of two and a hall
cents per pound, means mischicf,Jf 1t

to forcro all opposition to the tax, it may
be passed as rcadiI y as the formcrta was

were in favor of repeal, because it was
manifest that the tax restricted produc
ton; it was not only contrary to sound
political economy, but was prtiudlciaI

The result of the repeal has been actu

INCOMPLETE LEGISLATION.

The legislation of The State, under
the new government, presents many
new and anomalous features. 1t Is ap-
parcnt1y modelled after existing systems,
but as a whole, docs lot seem to be
derived from any one homogeneous
source. The consequence is, that in in
cooperating laws Of Massachusetts, and
New York with existing laws of South
Carolina into ono body of jurisprudence,
there necessarily results an imperfect
piece of patchwork, not adapted 10 the
wants Of the community. For instance,
the remedy by distress for rent has been
abolished, and no remedy is left the
landlord except that provided for the
eonor.l creditor I'll. ~l,r- fyfr'vrrvtrs uitu
rent houses as n general rule, arc not pro-
perty holders, but persons in humble
circumstances. In nine cases out Of
ten, under the homestead exemptions
nothing could hc made by legal proceed
in9s a,sainst such persons. The land
lord knowing this in advance, must ci-
ther demand security for the renVin
the first Instance, or depend entirely
upon the integrity Of the tenant and
his daily success in business. Tn the
present condition Of the people, very
few tenants can give lhc required
security, and very few landlords arc
willing 10 rent their property with
out it. The remedy by distress
was very seldom rcsortcd to in
practice heretofore, bat It's existence
was a security TO the landlord, opera
ting to procure punctuality in the pay-
ment Of the rents, and facilitating the
poor in procuring houses to shelter
them. OF all other investments OF mo-
ncy. hat in lands and buildings ought
to be rendered the most secure, and in
all civilized countries, the laws have
been so framed as to prmote that end.
The large majority Of the people in any
country, must consist of those who own
no lands and houses, yet they should
have a roof to shelter them. But if
there be no inducements to capitalists to
build and rent houses to thc poor, how
are they 10 be supplied? Tie law Of the
State of New York, after which this of
ours is modelled, aboli>hcs the remedy
by distress, but substitutes that by at
tachment, a remedy more SIMPLE and
quite as efficient. Our Legislators con-
tent themselves with abolishing the one
remedy, and substitu no other. We
do not consider that our attachment law
can be applied to the collection Of rent
in ordinary cases. Again, the laws
have abolished imprisonment for debt.
This is in accordance with the human
itarian sentiments Of the age and meets
with our entire approval. But, simply
to relieve The unfortunate debtor, with.
out providing the creditor any means
of cocrciug the dishonest debtor to
pay, is to offer premium to fraud and
to victimize the innocent and generous
creditor, whose property has PASSED in
to the pockets Of the protected defaulter
As the law now stands, a debtor
might be a millionaire, live in q first class
hotel, lavish thousands on his pleasures
and pursuits, and yet snap his fingers
in defiance of the tailor whose clothes
he wore. IF his money is not invested
in visible, tangible property, such as
