LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Charleston I'm Favor of war-A Leg
isIatiye Joke-The State Printing
Being Done I'm Richmond.

CHARLESTON, December ..
Editors OF Register:
l notice that you are 90 well supp!i-
ed with letters from Charleston OF late
that | almost doubt the propriety OF in-
fiictiDg another upon you at this time,
but "hopipg that l don't intrude," /
will unburthen myself little.
A CASARD.
On last Saturday night dispatch
was received at the Hale House, stat
ing that the President had called for
100000 troops, and for some time the
report few from house TO house, creat-
ing the widest enthusiasm. Whisky
took many a rise and fall, and jolly
parties Of men crying "Hur-hic, araw-
for.hic, Cuby," were on the streets re-
joicing, until long after the Sabbath
had commenced. A little reflection,
however, convinced thinking people
that 1t was a big joke, and subsequent
news corrected the false notion.
ANOTHER JOKE
On Monday last Mr. White. OF Mar
shall, in the House, and Mr.. Scott, o.!
Richie, in the Senate, proposed an
amendment to the Constitution. provid-
ing that the old Constitution should be
adopted in the place OF the
present instrument The idea
OF the movement was to have the Leg
islature 90 to the expense OF printing
the old Constitution, tor which the
Democrats would be held responsible,
and at the same time manufacture
some Radical buscombe The idea
brought forth broad grin and a gener-
al guffaw; and the resolution was
promptly kicked under the table. One
Radical Constitution is enough for one
generation, and the Republican breth-
rem will find that all these foolish and
needless expenditures OF time and
money, which they daily inhict upon
the people Of the State, will recoiI upon
their own hands. The journal will
show all these things, and that record
will be sufficient endorsement OF the
course OF the Democratic representa-
tves.
STILL ANOTHER JOKE.
| am informed by gentleman who
is a member OF the Jacob ring that the
reports Of the State officers, which the
Governor gave to his henchman, Mr..
Webb, to print, are now being printed
in the city OF Richmond, Mr.. Webb
being unable 10 do the work himself Not
one OF them has yet been presented to
the legislature, and / understand caDno,
be until after the time fixed for the
adjournment. Thus you see, under Tho
benefcent rule OF Honest John, our
printing is "peddled out" in another
State, at q greater expense than il it
were done by Mr.. Walker, the LRtcli.
genccr or the REGISTER and reports
which should by all means have been
presented TO the Legislature long ago,
are yet in the hands OF a printer IN
another State. 10 plain words, in order
to crafty personal spite, and reward
his tuglemsu, Mr.. Jacob does not hesi-
tate TO pay higher prices than are neces.
sary for this work, but delays the dis
semination OF information which the
legislature and the people should have
had long ago. presume the friends
Of the pigeon-toed executive will en-
1orse all this sort Of thing, but excuse
me when ! cay that | don't think any
honest man can do so.
An OHIO COUNTY MEMBER.
