There was another influence, equally magnetic and imperious, which led the grand old gardener of Eden a compli ant slave to his beauteous queen. In obe dience to this same influence the speaker had come at the call of the ladies to address them." Col. Wacfdell hen congratulated his auditors on the prospect of a restored nationality All this was introductory. The report in the Virginian continues:- The subject of the address was "America before Columbus." The topic was suggest ed by a remarkable passage in Humboldt's " Cosmos;" and in pursuing "the investiga tion thus induced the speaker had lain under contribution every source of information, and now gave, condensed in brief, the 're sult of long, patient and jexhaostive study. Columbus.-was-, comparatively, a modern navigator. 'Before him, by 500 years, and even anterior to the discoveries of Eri the Red on the northern coast of the Continent, the southern coast between- Vireinia and JTlprida had been not only visited: but set- tiea Dy tne inteuigent ana intrepid lnsh race. This settlement was in the Caronnaa. The Icelandic annals, whose historical value has never been properly recognized, furnish full -proof of this.- The1 outlying islands; which Christopher Columbus found by ac cident, were the threshold of a great Conti nent which had been found and settled sees before; and that, too, by Europeans. Hence it wair ww, or vr aiter xuueigo, wnen . ne round nis seeis m tne shallow waters about toanoke Island, forind the TnscaroraitaIk in Cieelid, and with ?blue eyes; fair faces and auburn hair." A strong argument, for' nished by many proof s, was' made in sup port of the theory that the Great Ireland,? mentioned not onlyby Icelandic chronicles, but even by an Arabian geographer', was no other than the country south of the Chesa peake bay; and that it was, in fact, peopled by! Irishmen' a thousand! years ago.

C. Je ' ! A correspondent writes us from Timmons Ville, .S. b., ttbat,'on Friday" Oliver Spencer and Kelley McDonald, two colored men, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, for the crime of 'murder, at Darlington Court House, South Carolina They were -executed near the jail and the rope to the trap was cut at 12i O'clock.-;. The former's: neck was broken almost . immediately and he died in a short .time.; .The rope, not be? ing properly .adjusted around the neck of Kelly McDonald death was produced by Strangulation, with, no donbt,' great suffer ing to the criminal. Thousands of cblbred people were present at the scene of the hanging,! our correspondent says, with as much anticipation of its interest, as if Bob-, inson's 'big show ". was 'giving an exhi bition. The two men were convicted of having murdered two of their ' own' race; but - what - - morbid curiosity prompts so many to witness these 'now frequent trage dies, it is hard to tell, says our correspond ent, yet not . only did the colored people flock to the "hanging," but many of the whites having been taken with the strange infatatuibn to witness the scene were also there.-. : : . ' ; - The opinion is expressed in the letter, of the good that would certainly result, if pub lic executions were done away with, and the Grand Jury were, only allowed to be spectators of such a scene. ; Ciurr NatUN. ; As a matter of interest to our commercial friends, reproduce this from the Char lolte Observer "We stepped . into one of the Charlotte banks yesterday and saw' immense piles of green backs packed up in nice little bundles of one hundred dollar packages, as if ready for shipment. Upon inquiry we learned that the amount in dollars was fifty thous and, and that its destination was Columhia S.
