Of Lord rSelkirk, whom his son n
William daype had jus, visited in
England, the Governor said his

passage from Columbia to Charles.
ton in the stage. Whilst passing
through gloomy region of the
lower country, amidst the pines
and swamps, late in the night, the
horses ran off, but kept the road.
Lord Selkirk had heard dreadful
accounts OF the stage drivers, their
driving, and the roughness of the
roads. At first he thought the
driver was giving him and his
white servant (no one else being in
the coach) q, specimen of bis fast,
rough, Democratic driving. The
jolting was terrible, but he bore it
patiently for sometime. At last
he began to demonstrate, but he was
not heeded by the driver. Final.
ly he got up aud found there was
no one on the drivers box. Sud.
denly one of the wheels came off.
and the horses were unable to pro.
ceed any farther. He went back
to look for the driver and found
him lying in the road with his
head crushed to pieces. In speak.
ing Of Mr.. Calboun's 8 speech on the
Presidents message, Governor
Hayne. said he was surprised to
find, the separation of the govern.
ment from all banks, and the pay.
Inent Of the revenue in specie so
favorably received in Charleston.
Both the Courier and Merclrv ap.
proved the measure, and Judge
Colcock, President of the bank, ex.
pressed himself in favor OF it the
other night. d. The Governor said
he bad no doubt all this was ow-
ing to MIR. Calhoun's letters and
correspondence. That Mr.. Call
houn had been writing to his
friends with a view of feeling his
strength on this question that
Judge oColcock had the most i'm.
plicit confidence IN the wisdom
and sagacity Of Mr.. Calhoun, and
that the Mercury had probably
received lesson from Barnweil
Smith, whois the brother.in-.aw of
the editor" ..r... -
Judge Colcock whilst on the An.
peal bench, was very much given
to indulging himself in short nap,
whilst the lawy ers were boring the
court with their long and dull ar.
gnments. Now aud then he would
be reused from his slumbers by
tue vehemence of the counsel, to
the great amusement Of his asso-
ciates on the bench, who, no doubt,
envied him bis happy faculty Of
killing time. ,....''.' ,..,... ...,'', .'.
