TUESDAY MOIINING, April 24.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Charleston, April 20th, 18G0.
Aftor nn uneventful but pleasant trip
of two day* and a night, I arrived at
Charleston on Thursday afternoon, at
3$ o'clock. I expected to find the cars
on the whole route well crowded with
delegates and outsiders, but was mis
taken. On Thursday three hundred
I •.mongers were looked for by the truin
•.« m Augusta, and to recoivo them, a
Lnible force of Hotel drummers, cab-
. :i and police officers wore sent to tho
.-t. 13.it they had reckoned with-
. it their hast—for not more than a 11111^1
that number arrived. Tho city does
: i • -- nt a more crowded appearance
' ... .-ual, though this afternoon and
;ow tho “wisto places’' will be-
. nil up rapidly.
A number of gentlemen—some of
ii del.'gates—from Kentucky wore
. die cans with mo. Onoof thorn told
,o that they all were tho warm person-
ul friends of Mr. Guthrie, and as many
as fifty lolly delegates from the city of
Louisville, alone would attend the
Convention, and use evory exertion to
have that gentleman nominated. He ulso
informed me that a bet lind been made
on the cars, between a delegate from
Indiana and one from Alabama, tlmt
Douglas would be nominated. The
bet was $1000, and tho Indiana dele
gate betting on Douglas. This latter
gentleman's chances seem to brighten
ns the day for the nomination ap
proaches. I huvo little doubt that
)>• c..u get the nomination if ho is do-
tcrmined to have it:—but 1 am in
clined to think, that the bitter and nn.
"relenting hostility which ho will
me. i in tho Convention, will convince
him that some of tho Southern States
he • annot curry in the election, and that
t* • Administration will oppose him. If
hi* motto is not “rule or ruin," he will
ithdraw. I am of tho opinion that ho
taros nothing for the Democratic party;
and his enmity to the Administration
is so groat, and his resolution to suc
ceed in tho Convention in spito of its
opposition, so unyielding, that ho will
hazard everything in tho struggle,
None of tho Georgia delegation have
arrived yet. They will bo hero to-mor-
row. A very interesting question will
come up in the question as to what dis
position will be made of tho supermi
ni.uarios. It is understood that only
twenty van bo received. Who will
they bo? But a more exciting discus
sion will be caused by the conflicting
claims of the two New York deloga-
ti -ns. Fernando Wood, tho leader of
t ..» Hauls, ami Poter Cogger of tho
Softs, are both hero and busily at work.
The former, through liis friends iscircu-
laiing a pamphlet on the “Now York
contest" and a supplotnent of tho N. Y.
Neu-s, proving tho Softs to bo Freosoil-
cis nml the tounders of the Republican
party. I hoard Mr. Wood Bay this
morning, that if it had not boon for
them, that party would not to-cluy have
an existence. I met him and hud tho
distinguished honor (?) of an introduc
tion to him, this morning in tho Char
leston Courier office. He is very differ
ent from my preconceived ideas of him.
1 expected to see a rough, bully sort of
a man with bushy heud, shaggy brows
and scowling expression. I was there*
fore, greatly surprised to find before mo»
in tho person of tho Mayor of New
York City, a tall thin gentleman, not
fifty years old, with soft, silky hair
slightly silvered, grey eyes, and an ex
ceedingly pleasant expression. 11
manners are graceful and winning, and
n. talks with ease and with much con
. and clearness. When speak-
j i;■ hr looks right into the eyes of his
l.ipnnion and makes occasional ges-
with his right hand immediately
i ■■■•*.• of him. Every thing indicates
t beta a man of energy- and per
nvraneo—that ho sees clearly tho end
the course he is pursuing, and that
lie is determined to go straight to it
without being directed to the right or
to the left.
Tho Wood delegation have rented St.
Andrew’s Hall during the Convention.
It is a handsomely furnished building.
Hon. W. A. Richardson of Illinois, is
stopping at tho Pavilion Hotel. 1 have
not seen him, but understand tlmt lie
abuses Douglas with much bitterness.—
Tho Institute Hull, in which the Con
vention will bo held, is a large and
handsome building, capable of holding
fit mo persons crowded in. 1 understood
that arrangements will bo made to ae-
i•■inmodulo reporters, editors, Ac., with
sc..i» on the floor, and I will have an
opportunity of witnessing tho Ueliberu-
ti .ns of this body—which promises to
b the most discordant and interesting
.\ 1 ' Ii ever assembled. 1 take great
1 ' ure in alluding to the kindness and
a. i- utioii of tho editors of the Charles-
i• »i * iniiv. They have invited dele-
gat ■•# and editors visiting Charleston, to
gall at their office and register their
names,and receive their hospitality. Mr.
C.ulyle is particularly affable and untir
ing in bisefforts to contribute to their
entertainment and comfort. Mr. Rhett
of the Mercury, is a polite and agreeable
gentleman, and kindly tendered mo the
us-* of his exchanges. I learn that
Adam’s Express Company have offered
to convoy packages and communica
tion-, for the members of the editorial
corps, during the Convention, free of
charge. This is but an additional
donee of the generous and accommoda
ting spirit which 1ms always character
ized the gentlemen connected with this
company. I have met with only one
of the editorial fraternity from Georgi
Mr. Hancock of tho Sumpter JlepuLli-
thousands away. There will still he
enough to fill all the hotels. I am sur
prised that tho project of moving the
“Big Shanty” down hero should havo
escaped tho financial shrewdness of
Dr. Lowls. Ho could doubtless have
made it pay, especially ns ho could have
afforded to liavo charged so muoh below
tho regular pricos hero, and thus scou
red as much custom as ho could wish.—
He could have made it pay, because tho
“Big Shanty" dinner hour comes on so
soon after broakfust ho could liuvo
saved at least one meal a day.
The cars on tho State road stopped
for dinner ut this Stute institution at
ha(f past ten o’clock. it Is a most
shameful outrago. Tho oars arrive at
Atlanta at one, soou enough for any
one to want dinner;
m very comfortably situated at a
private hoarding-house, and am indebt
ed to kind friends for my good fortuno.
My faro is as good as could ho desired
and tho clmrge more moderate than
could liavo been expected.
This afternoon I accepted an invita
tion from Mr. Willington, Proprietor
and formerly editor of tho Oturier, and
with Mr. Fulton of the Baltimore Amer-
tout rodo out to Magnolia cemetery.—
This is a most beautiful burying ground,
with many very handsome monuments,
But I have not time now to give a de
scription of tho objects of interest in
and about Charleston. On yesterday
I took a walk upon tho Battery and
for tho first time looked upon the
dancing waves of tho “murmuring
Death of James K. Paulding.
We learn, just before going to press,
that Hon. James Kirke Paulding died
at Ilydc Park, last night, at twelve
o’clock. Mr. Paulding was a native of
Duchess county, and was born August
22, 1770.
During tho war of the Revolution,
Mr. Paulding’s fumily wore driven from
Wostchcstcr county, and to that county
they returned after the war. In his
early manhood, Mr. Paulding catno to
this city, where he resided most of tho
timo until n!>out 1844.
In 1809 Mr.Paulding was connected
with Washington Irving in the publica
tion of “.Salmagundi." In 1813 Mr.
Puulding published “the diverting His
tory of John Bull ami Brother Johna
than," and the next year lie published
several other hooks. In 1815, having
passed the summer in Virginia,ho wrote
“Letters from the South." Other
books of his were, tho “Backwoods
man," “Koningsmurke," “John Bull in
America." tho "Three Wiso Men of
Gotham," tho “Now Pilgrim's Progress,"
“Tales of the Oooifwoman," “The
Dutchman’s Fireside," “Westward Ho,"
Ac. In 1835 ho uuhlished a “Life of
Washington," and more recently “Sla
very in the United States."
In public lifo Mr. Paulding has had
considerable experience. In 1814 he
was Secretary of the Navy Commission
ers at Washington, and, at a subsequent
period Navy Agent in New York.—
From 1847 to 1851 bo was Secretary of
the Navy, under Martin Vafi Ihircn.—
Latterly Mr. Paulding has withdrawn
from tho public eye, and has boon living
quietly at liis home on tin* Hudson.
His writings are best known in this
country. Jlw collected works comprise
twenty-livo volumes.and his uncollected
writings would probably make as many
more.—A r . F. Commercial Advertiser.
Horrible Affair.
To a fiiond we aro indebted for nn
extract from a private letter lately
received in this place, from Hollow
Square (near Mobile,) Green county,
Ala.:
“A terrible thing has occurred slnco
I wrote you last—the murder of our
Postmaster at Hollow Square. Ho took
his meals about n inilo from the post
otlice, and was returning from his sup
per, when, it is supposed, ho was met
and followed into tho otlico, and tliero
knocked in the head with an axe, then
robbed of all his monoy. Tho letters
wero then all broken open, and a great
deal of money taken from them. lie
was then dragged about three-quarters
of a mile, with tho intention of putting
hitn in tin old well, hut the intirdorer
fled heforo ho accomplished this. Be*
furo ho loft, to niako suro of his victim,
ho shot him through the head. Thu
Postmaster was n very inoffensive man,
and was very much liked, but was mur
'd in cold blood, merely for his
money. Tho murderer has not been
taken up, although it is well known who
lie is, but not having sufficient evidence
to hang him, they think it best to let
him alone. Negro evidence is protty
much all there is, and you know that
is of no avail in Court."—Pensacola 6’a-
zeltc.
THE TRANCE OF I.OVE.
1 learn that to-morrow will appear in
the city papers a lotttcr of instruction
from Mr. Buchanan to Robt. J. Walker
bile Governor of Kansas in which tho
procisedoetrino is laid down, now advo
cated by Douglas. This latter gentle
man's fricuda sent tho lot tor hero for
the purpose of building up his fortunes.
I have learned too that many of the
Wood delegation from New York aro
sacrctly Douglas. This I was told by a
gentleman who got his information
from the delegates themselves.

A Splendid Carriage.—Wo happen

riage shop of Mr. O. B. Eve, the other
day, just as tho hands wore turning out
a beautiful carriage, nml stopt to admiro
it. Thi 8 : c one of the finest trimmed,
painted and finished vehicles wo havo

Rookawuy, of a rich crimson lake color,
nml as finely polished as carriage- of
Northern manufacturo. Tlmt portion
of tho trimmings made of leather, is
made highly ornamental with beautiful
machine stitching; the inside cushions
and trimmings are of catajino silk, and
Dip whole is sufficiently rich and luxri-
ant to be tho roceptaclo of an Eastern
Princess. When carriages so beautiful

is the use of sending North for such ar

that Mr. Surveyor Hurt, of Now York,

Weaving Glass with Silk.—Not ma
ny persons, probably, me aware that
glass is ingeniously woven with silk, al
though its brittleness of naturo would
appear to render such a method of man
ufacturing it impossible. It is n very
unique process, tho glass being substi
tuted—when thus woven with the silk—
for gold and silver thread, than either
of which it is found to be more durable,
possessing the additional advantage of
never tarnishing. What is technically
called the wnrp, that is, tho long way of
any loom-manufactured article, is com
posed of silk, which forms the body and
ground-work, on which the pattern in
ulass appears us the weft or cross-work.
The requisite flexibility of glass thread
for manufacturing purposes is to bo as
cribed to its extreme tin on ess, as not less
than fifty or sixty of tho original threads
—produced by steam engine power—arc
required to form one thread for the loom
Tho process, however, is necessarily
slow, and not moro than a yard can bo
well manufactured in twelve hours.—
But the work, when well done, is ex
tremely beautiful in its appearance, ami
comparatively cheaper than the gold and
silver mixed stulf, and it is also, so fur
as tho glass Is concerned, imperishable.
It is woven by means of the Jacquard
loom.—Providence Journal.

Poverty not so Great a Curse*
If tliero is any tiling in the world that
a young man should no more thankful

It demonstrates stuif nml stamina. It

a thousand times more men than it ru

particularly worth saving, while it saves
multitudes of those whom wealth would

:omplimonts to the ladies, occasionally
taking wine with them. You never ask
the President to take wine with you,
but wait to lie invited by him. After
remaining in this delightful society for
several hours, at a given signal from
the President, the company rise, return
to tho reception-room, where they are
served with cofloe and liqurrs, or if they
prefer it, with brandy, alter which you
take your leave ami go home to remem
ber tbo hospitalities you have enjoyed.
•Someof these dinners are dull und
stately enough, but I have known them
to he us delightful us the most genial
could desire.
If you are invited to dine with Mr.
Slidell, Mr. Seward, or with the Nc
Jersey Knight of Gwin, (Mr. Speaker
Pennington,) you arc seated around a
urge circular table, and pass through
nearly tho same routine I have described
ut tho President's, the ditfereno© being
tlmt there is more freedom, more fun,
more jokes, und sometimes hauler
drinking.
Great things nre frequently accom
plished at these reunions. Combina
tions are formed, political issues discuss
ed, public nii'ii reviewed, and more than
one important idea evolved, which, car
ried to tho Capitol buildings, makes the
heart of tho people thrill, or causes the
Union itself to tremble to its center.—
The Southern representatives nre, 1
think, your best dinner-out. Such men
ns Col. Keitt, of South Carolina :
Toombs, of Georgia ; Secretary Cobb, of
Georgia; Secretary Floyd, of Virginia;
Vice-President Brecken ridge and
Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky,
seem to bo always prepared with their
best anecdotes, and always ready for
repurteo. They make tho cold North
erner stare as they detail scenes of
Southern life, nnd sketch famous char
acters in .Southern history ; tail: about
Culpeper, Dinwiddie, Caroline, John
Ta> lor, Nut Macon, General Jackson,
and not unfrequently you are regaled by
some Virginian, who tells domestic sto
ries of General George Washington and
the fathers oi the Constitution. Nearly
all these men aro connected with tho
old families. .Some of these day
hope to give you u sketch of the man
ner in which the great names of
giuia, South Carolina and Kentucky
related to eaeh other by blood and mar
riage. The case with which these men
enter tho parlor, and the grac-o and
good naturo with which they tell their
stories, cannot ho described. Ho who
understands tho arts of hospitality at

ence. More great measures aro carried

me cotton planters association of this
State, to visit Kurope. on tho subject of
