[From the Charleston Mercury.] The following beautiful Iptter from Mr, Cal houn, was one of the last bo ever wrote. It ts eminently characteristic, in substance and manner, of his intercourse with young men. The letter was communicated to the Washing ton Union by the gentleman to wbom'it was addressed, doubtless with tho feeling thut its kindly and wise advice, rendered moru im pressive by tho circumstances under which it was imparted, was rightfully the common pro perty of the whole class, on the formation of whose manly character will soon depend tho destinies of their country: State and National Law School, Balstoiv Spa. Saratoga Oo., N. Y., April 19, 1850. To the Editors of the Union: l have spent much time within the past two years in Washington, where I became intimate ly ncqu&intdtl with the late Hon. John C. Cul- houn, who had been a familiar friend of my lather. He permitted me the honor of a fre quent correspondence with him. Tho following letter I received from him just befort? his death. It is, probably, tho last long letter he ever wrote. As every thing concerning turn has, by his demise, become doubly interesting to tho public, I send you this cop* for publication, if you think best. It is a specimen of the kind and simple familiarity of his intercourse with the young, men of his acquaintance, not one of whom but would have died to seive him. His departure has left a painful, heart-rending va cancy in my affections. M"st respectfully, yours. A. J. I?. Washington, Feb. 28.1850. Mt Dear B : Yours of the 19iti instant was duly received. I am happy to learn thut vou are so delighted with the plan of tho in stitution, ntul the peculiar advantages itafTords for rapid improvement, not only in the acquisi tion of legal knowledge, but in a familiarity with the practice and the important matter of extempore speaking. I regard this latter ns one of the most essential features of the insti tution. Could 1. have enjoyed, in my prepara tory course, us you do, the opportunity of‘•drill ing every day” in this great art, and the trial and argument ot causes, “under constant and competent instruction,” I have no doubt I should have been, in all tho practical requis ites of success, ten years in advance of what I was when I entered the profession. 1 well re member, when connected with the Law School at Litchfield, Connecticut, tho need we all felt ltecent Notions of]Divorce. A prominent case of matrimonial disaffection and alienation, and atiompt to sunder tho mar riage bonds, has forced this subject recently upon the attention of all newspaper readers. Perhaps it should be regardod as a lamentable thing, that such is tho prying curiosity and scan dal-loving propensity of the jiublic, and such,it may be added, the disposition of the press to gratify that cqrlosity, that alj the secrets of the parlor and tho dressing-room must be blnzoned forth when any difficulty occurs between man and wife. This is on all acci mnts to he regrett- /sd. Its tendency cannot be otherwise than de moralizing. It forces impure ami degru mg thoughts upon minds that ate not prone to in dulge thorn ; and the manner in which thoy are often adverted to by newspaper writers is so light and trifling, as to make even damning sin seen, a very trivial matter. All this is pre-erm- ently bad. But it is much worse when the grea principles of moral duty and responsibility, and theprimo foundations of religious ttuth aic set a- side, and remedies for social evils are sought on the ground of expediency. It will *oso who doubt or disbelieve the binding obligation of our religion,ami the paramount authority of Us author, to uttompt to cure tho evils of society in tho best way they can. They may talk of fe male indiscretion and unfaithfulness, short ot tho plain fact of actual transgression of mar riage vows, being sufficient cause of divorce; and npply to human legislators to sever tho bonds which God has joined together. And if this world is to be the termination of innn s course, and the tribunal of public opinion the only one to which ho is to unswer, all may ap pear v ery well. . But. surely no one who lias the least faith in Christian truth, should, in word or thought, thus trifle wtih Divine authority. For such an one the law is plain, and not all the profane tamper ing of human courts and legislators wilt alter oi annul a word or lotter of il.—“ It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife let him give her a writing of divorcement: but I sny unto you,” &c. Doubtless an adherence to this rule, will sometimes cause inconvenience, and very often cross men’s inclinations. Sin al ways produces misery, and the Divine law is constructed upon the principle that when men bring it upon themselves, by their own trans gressions, thoy must, to a certain extent, endure it. No human law, even, provides a remedy for the pain and inconvenience oi transgression. It is contra legem naturie—it thing impossible. To avoid these inconveniences, inen must, be careful informing their matrimonial connex ions. they must see thut virtue is guarded, not merely by conventional tides of propriety,^but by the law of an enlightened conscience. I hey must avoid those associations, however they may be upheld by fashionable society, which lay traps and snares in the tray of virtue. It is with a very had grace, and with very little claim to public sympathy, that a husband, after surrounding his wife with corrupting associa tions. appeals to a legislature for a redress of female indiscretion. The sum of the whole is—Marriage, rightly considered is a holy thing;—not merely a ci- il contract, but a divine institution; which Wednesday Morning, May 1» 1850. LARGEST CIItCULATION! ry The I)ail4 Moimno News has now a circa. Union larger than that of BOTH THF. OI IH.R DAI LIES TOGETHER., and consequently is the best advertising medium. We state this tact in justice to ourselves and lor the benefit of the advertising public. pSp’ See first page for our rates of advertising.

ISoiithei'ii Literary Gazette. Wo have received the first number of the^ new volume of tljjis paper, published in Charles ton, by Messrs. Richards & Walker, and edited by William C. Richards, and D. IL Jacques. In point of typography, the GazSttc certainly has no' superior among the weaklies of the country, nnd if tho number beforo us is The’Rochester Stirits. — The northern papers have for the lust six months teemed witli wonderful accounts of the Rochester Knocking*,As they are culled,and which are said to be produced hy bonaf.de Wo have seen long nnd circumstantial accounts iheso Rochester doings, all vouched for and certified by respectable witneses, enough to fill 1 a large a fair specimen of what it is to be, we do not volume, but have regarded the whole affair; hesitate to say tfhat its editors have nothing to 1 suc ], a shallow cheat ns to he unworthy of the fear from a comparison of its literary merits notice of the press out of the intected district with those of the popular family journals of The New York Tribune has, however, gj ven the Northern cities.

These con-I man has no power, and of course no right to dis- stant exercises in which you are required to en gage before so large a numbe.v of your fcllow- siudents, if for nothing else than the self-confi dence which they must, gradually inspire, will, in the end, prove exceedingly valmible. I shall never forget tho painful, tho indescribable em barrassment under which I labored in the de. livery of my “maiden speech” before a Court, an embarrassment wnich it required years of practice to overcome. Improve, then, my Dear B , the rare privilege* which the institution affords you. Be systematic and punctual injthe performance of all jjfo&ii duties; and remember that the profession you hove chosen imposes, as a condition prece dent to success, the necessity for constar.t und arduous labor. Ill it there is no disguising of solve, except in the one case specified by the Divine Law. In the case to which ullusion has been made, so far as the evidence has been made public—and there have been, certainly, details sufficiently humiliating—this one evi dent ground of divorce has not been made out. Newark Advertiser. Important Suit.—A suit involving the sum of $100,000, or thereabouts, occupied the Fourth Disrrict Court—Judge Strawbridge— Friday and Saturday. It was a jury case, and the parties to it were A. W. Gordon, for the uso of Jumes Dundiw, et al (trustees of the U. States Bunk) vs. James Irwin. Tho mo'-its of the case seemed to be briefly these: The late Judge Hitchcock, of Alabama, the broth er-in-law of Mr. Irwin, was at the time |of his An ArresT.-A man by the nnrac of Freder ick Mii.ler, who has resided here for several months, but who left the city under rather sus picious circumstances shortly after the late fire, was arrested on the Central Railroad about 20 miles from Savannah, ami brought to town charged with having been concerned in setting fire to tho building on Wednesday morning last. Having been lodged in jail, he was brought before Justices Russf.li,, Hart, and Eden, yesterday morning, for examination. No evidence being adduced sufficient to author ize his committal, he was discharged from cus tody on paying costs. I5P It will be seen by the list of passengers in the steamer General Clinch, that Miss Fredericka Bremer, the popular Swcedish novelist, passed through our city on Monday night. She made no stay, but left ill the cars yesterday morning. Wo did not learn her destination. Tho uuthor of The Neighbors would have found many warm admirers of her works in Savannah, and n hospitable welcome among us hud she deigned to abide with us a few days. The Oglethorpe Fire Company, will leave our city, for Charleston, this evening in tho Northern boat. At 6 o’clock this afternoon they will be escorted to the wharf, by the Washing ton Fire Company. On Friday, the 3d of May the annual parade and inspection of the Fire department of Charleston, will take place at 2 o’clock I’. M. of that day, after which ihere will be a great firemen’s procession in which the delegation from this city will partici pate. The PRESENT.-We staled yesterday that the Republican Blues intended to present to a vet eran member of that corpse, a silver vase and waiter. We learn to-day that tho member is our respected fellow citizen F. M. Stone, Esq. and that the vase is a truly beauti ful piece of workmanship. It will be present ed in the course of the day, in Monument Square. We had one’s capacities or demetils. The physician’s decease, in'the autumn of 1839,indebted to the art is concealed, and by flippant technicalities, United States Bank in the sum of about a mil- «P0 duce the belief that he is what he is not. Iho clergyman has time, a choice of subjects, and a world of other men’s thoughts, to aid him in his preparations for the pulpit. But the lavv- y er. whether in the office or before a court nnd pity, can assume nothing which he does not possess. His legal opinions nre soon to be tes ted by the severest ordeal, and his pretensions as an advocate must be real, or they will avail him nothing. And I would also have you re member, that you will be boset with constant temptations to swerve from the standard of higli moral integrity. The very obli gations of tho lawyer to dofend his client, right or wrong, tend to fumiliurize him with error, and to blunt his natural ab horrenceof depravity: nnd by obligations, I mean such only ns would loud him to seek the great ends of justice. Beycnd this, even though it should result in your own aggran dizement, I .vould not have you put forth a sin gle exertion. In the defence of one whom you believe to be guilty, proceed no further than is necessary to elicit the truth by an even balance of testimony. I am aware it will often be diffi cult, in this respect, to draw a precise lino be tween the duties you will owe to your client, and those due to yourself and community. But a cultivated and refined moral sense, the basis of all that is grand and beautiful in human char acter, and which 1 trust, above all things else, you will seek to incorporate into your own— will generally lie a safe and accurate guide. But I must close. This may he the lust of my comrnucations to you. I feel myself sink ing under the wasting power of decease. My end is probably near—perhaps very near. Be fore I reach it, 1 have but one sorious wish to gratify ; it is to see my country quieted under some arrangement—alas ! I know not what— that will be satisfactory to alt and safo to the South.

Bowen, has got a tommon brook trout which evinces extraordinary pug ilistic powers. He has become so domes tica- ted that he can bo handled freely, but he will not allow any other fish in the fountain where he is kept. Several fish of different kinds, including the trout, have been put into the foun tain, when he immediately attacks them and never loaves them until they are dead, when lie coolly »v4ipis off" into one corner of the fountain where he remains perfectly quiet until another fish is entered to dispute the sup^gacy. Frank, the bar tender, offers a wag<j*7$f five dollars that he will kill any fish d$aple his weight. We expect tahear soon that&ur spor ting gent* will get up a regular fish light.-— Syracuse Star. «,■ bi llon of dollars. For this they held mortgages on his property. In the spring of 1840, the hank sent, out an agent to Mobile,with iheview of having the matter in some manner arrang ed. Mr. Irwin, assuming to speak for and in behalf of Mrs. Hitchcock, his sister, the widow and universal assignee of the late Judge Hitchcock, met the agent of the Bank ; and uftcr considerable diplomacy on both sides, the agent of the hank agreed to pay Mr. Irwin, in post, notes of the bank, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The considera tion lor which this money was paid forms the animus in the case. The representatives of the lmnk contend, and adduce proof to sustain the allegation, that it was given to get amica ble possession of the property on which they held mortgage, and for full satisfaction of all otherclnims on it. Irwin meets this by three different allegations : Firstly, ho stntos thut the $150,000 were paid him to sutisfy certain confidential creditors of the estate of Jugde Hitchcock, one of whom he was himself for some $46,000. Secondly, that it. was given him ns the agent of Mrs. Hitchcock, tho sole devisee, on condition of her making over to the bank an immediate and amicable assignment of nil the property on which it held mortgage; and thirdly, though this point was not strongly urged, that it was given him for having assigned to the bank six stores in Mobile, of tho estate of Judge Hitch cock, on which, as on his other property they held a mortage It appeared in evidence that, on receiving the $150,000, in post notes, Irwin came to this city, had them discounted in the City Bank, and, w ith a portion of tho proceeds, paid a large debt of his own to that institution. The nominal party to the present suit, A. W Gordon, had, in 1836, sold a track of land to a certain company, of which Judge Hitchcock was a prominent member. He took their in dividual notes for the amount of their respec tive shares; and it is those passed to him by Hitchcock, hut never paid, that form the basis of the present suit. They amount to some $80,000, with interest at 8 per cent, per annum, since 1340—making about $100,000. Tho point on which the plantitFs counsel relied, was, that Irwin, by using the $150,000 or any portion of it, for his own use to the prejudice of the creditors, made him ail executor, in his own wrong, and, ns such, accountable to the other creditors for the amount due them re spectively by the estate. . The court sustained the point, and the juiy found for the plaintiff the amount it claimed. N. O. Delta. A Banner for the Riflemen. an opportunity yesterday, of examining the beautiful banner which is to be presented, this morning, to tiie Phoenix Riflemen. It is a most exquisite piece of embroidery, wrought with twisted silk, in which the brightest colors are harmoniously blended and combined with gold, in such a manner as to produce the most beau tiful effect. We have not space at present to describe the design, which is at once unique, beautiful, and appropriate. The embroidery is the work of Miss Kerwick, assisted by her neice, Miss Ellen Kerwick. The presentation of the banner to the Corps, will take place this morning, at half past 11 o’clock, at the residence of Cupt. Jonathan 6lms tead, who was, we believe, the first Captain and founder of tho Corps. The und contains, besides much entertaining and useful matter, the first chupter of an original tale, by W. Gilmore Simms. The Gazette is printed with fair new type, on u superior quality of paper, und is furnished to subscribers at $2 per annum, in advance. The Schoolfellow .—We are also indebted to Messrs. Richards & Walker, for the Janu ary, February, March, and April numbers of this handsome little magazine. The School fellow is well printed and copiously embellished, and its contents are, in the main, well adapted to the capacity and tastes of the class for whom it is intended. We would, however, suggest to the editor tho propriety of more thoroughly localising the work. By this we do not mean to seetionalise it. But wo mean to give it a home interest. Let its writers often- er discuss Southern themes, describe Southern scenes, Southern life, and relato incidents in Southern history, lr. a word, let t em labor to interest their readers in home matters, and to instruct and interest their minds on home sub jects. The Northern States have several Mag. azincs of this kind, which are doing well, and exerting no small amount of influence on the youthful minds of'that section. These maga zines are, however, not adapted to tho wants arid tastes of the children of the South. The Family, which is the world of tho child, is different at tho North from what it is at the South—the domestic relations of the household are not the same, nor are tho recreation* and amusements of Southern children and Northern children alike. There should then, bo an adap tation of matter in the work, which is designed to amuse and instruct the Southern child, simi lar to that which characterizes the periodi cals of the North. We want a rudimcntal literature adapted to our latitude, our scenery ( our soil, our climate, our political and domes tic institutions. A transplanted literature of any kind is always of a sickly growth, but a transplanted juvenile literature is too tender a thing to take vigorous root in any soil. We do not wish to be understood as intima ting an objection of this kind to the Schoolfel low', which we do not regard as an exotic. But with a lively hopo for its usefulness and success, we have thrown out these hint3 for the consideration of the Editor. The Schoolfellow is published in a handsome pamphlet form, each number containing thirty- knocWings are now becoming as common in N ew York as “pinching*" and “prickings” were in Salem in tho good old days of Puritan Witch craft-- In view of the popularity which the thing | tas acquired, wo have determined to give our tea- ders a chapter on the subject, in order that they may he posted in this new development of the spiritual world. # • That “there are more things in Heaven arid earth, than are dreamptof in our philosophy," we do not pretend to deny, but we think < mr readers will agree with us that to receive as truth such a rigmarole of flat absurdity as the narrative published to-day, would require a de gree of credulity, such as does not often fall tir tho lot of man. If there bo any truth i n the statement it certainly argues n shameful de generacy in ghosts, who in former times would have been ashamed to cut such ridiculous, un meaning pranks. But there are thousands in the northern states, who religiously believe in these revelations from tho spirit world, and who maintain that a new era is about to dawn on our world in which the interenuse of phys- 1 ical and spiritual humanity will be perfected, and when we shall hold communion with the inhabitants of the world of spirits, as familiarly as we now do with each other. We expect ere long to hoar of a new order spriuging up ut the north, with Gueely, per haps,at its head, which will totally eclipse Mil- lerism, Mormonism, and all other isms that the world has yet seen. Tho new denomination will probably be called the Spiritual Socialiits Union, and will receive revelations directly from the spirit world, through the medium of knocks, instead of resorting to the expedient of having them engraved on copper plates,as did the Mor- man Patriarch Joe Smith. The confounding absurdity and shallow simplicity of thedevelope- ments thus far, would seem to favor such a plan. The Rochester spirits and those in Connecticut, have steadily maintained that a day is coming when they will be permitted to reveal them selves to all men. This is doubtless significant of a new scheme for humbugg.ng the credu lous and for the formation of a new denomi nation of fanatics. Baptist College.—The Baptist denomi nation in South Carolina are taking measure* for the establishment and endowment of a Col lege to bo under their direction, and a founda tion has been already made by pledges on the two pages of letter press, at the low price of par( . ofsevera ] persons to the amount of sever- $1 per»annum.

It is proposed that every Association in the State shall aid in the enter prise.

From Brownsville.—We have received from Brownsville, papers of the 18th inst. 1 lie In dians continue to commit great depredations in tho vicinity of Laredo. One person writes from that place, under date ol the 4th inst., as follows: Tho Indians havo got this country—they took the San Antonio mail on tho last trip, nnd bat few of tho letters were recovered. We are nctuully confined to the limits of the town. A man was killed at Roma on the 4th inst. and two others are missing, supposed to have been killed. The Corpus Christ.i mail was ta ken on the 4th, 16 miles from Laredo, the rider being allowed to depart almost in a stale of nu dity, having stripped him to his pantaloons and shirt. Lieut. Hudson, with 18 men, went in pursuit of the party who took tho San Antonio mail, and came up with them on the Neuces river, and captured their camp, horses, &.c. On his return from tho Nueces, when near the Twentv-Four Mile Water Hole, he fell in with the party who took the Corpus Christi mail, numbering about 16 savages, and an engage- mentensued, in which Lieut. Hudson received three wounds from arrows—ono in his right side,3ne under hisdeft arm, and another in his thigh. In this skirmish one soldier was killed, a sergeant desperately, and three men severely wounded. Fourlioises worn nlso lost.

The Tunnel.—Wo have been informed says the Ringold Republican of Saturday, that the Tunnel will certainly ho completed, nnd ready for use, some time during tho month of June, or the first of July, as we stated a short lime since. Wo are nlso told, that one or two weeks’ work will complete the arching, when the ground will bo put in a proper condition for the laying down of thetruck. The restof the road is in splendid order.
