the burning glass of imagination, and
letting its sun burn without its spots ;
but he too generally does this only when
the beloved and censured being is alrea

but only in another way. As he set
aside a particular half hour each day' for
the purpose of btholding and meditating
on bis too happy existence at Rome, so
we ought daily or weekjy to dedicale
and sanctify a solitary hour for the pur
pose of summing up the virtues of our
families, our wives, our children, and
our frir.s, and viewing them in th js
beautiful' crowded assemblage of their
good qualities. Indeed, we should do
so ior this reason, that we may not for
give and love too late, when the beloved
beings are already departed hence, and
are beyond reach. Richter

In the Senate, to day, happened perhaps the

censuring the President for turblog persons out

Douglas. Mr. Turner spoke upoa it and pour

party, its policy, Scc. Hon. Bedford Brown re

just in his prime. It Created considerable inter
est, the gallery beingffull of ladies and lobbies
of members of the Hnuse and strangers. It was
laid on the table by iyeas 26, naiys 16. The
resolution was probably intended to draw oat
the sentiaents of the Democrata favoring Mr.
Douglas. Immediately a resolution was intro

are still traveling, and at night, there is little to
be seen and our only remedy was, Jo destroy
tobacco, and hear the quaint expressions of our
fellow prisoners. This is Fair week in Colum
bia, lad when the coaches were opened, there
waa general rush for seats, and hawing only
two coaces to the train, they were injcompeteQt
to aeat all, and when the train from jGoldaboro
arrived the crowd was still larger,and; therewaa
much murmuring, which waa much alloyed
with profanity, that was a little excusable, for t
we do thjnk that in such cases, through passen-1
gers rhouldbe accommodated. We heard some
say that it would be their laat trip by ihat route.
The President was on board a passenger, and
seemed to have no concern for the aceommbJa
tion of bis travelers. Another incident which
we noticed on tbe road will render it unpopular,
and that was, running by stations where persons
were waiting to gef aboard. At GbesteTTilI
there were at least fifty writing to go on to Col
umbia among them were some of raj friends
whossy their disappointment was great. After
sitting up until one o'clock in the cOId, and then
for the ca,s to run by is enough to make s chris
tian, at least think imprecations.- The train
made good timo and arrived in Columbia at 4 elk.
We halted that is, we, put up, or? in other
worda we went into the 'Congaree House,' but
had not where to lay 'our head. The Hauls and
boarding houses had been full for two days, and
it was impossible to get a room and nearly so. to
get something to eat. We remained in the city
two days, and were indebted to a friend for a
couch. We visited, the Fair Ground and were
delighted with the exhibitions. We noticed that
N. C. had some articles on exhibition,; I have
not been able to. see the list of premiums, but aoc
certain Boy den & Son and Westbrookltook pre
miums for their ploughs and spples. Theatock
on exhibition was fine, particularly tas horses
and cattle. There were a number of 5ugar
Cane Mills, wbich appeared to do their work
well. We examined a Wheat Thraahe which is
now used exclusively in Western Nw York,
which certainly is far superior to any we have.
