Jenny Lind in Charleston.—Tho Charleston
papers of yesterday glvh us descriptions of tho first
Concert of the “Nightingale'' in that city, on Thurs
day night. It is not worth while to follow them
through all their panegyrics ; but we will extract
one paragraph from the Courier (the staid, business
like Cburier.) for an example :
“ The Bird Song ami the Echo Song were loudly
encored. But the gem of the performance was the
simple, plaintive nir of Home, sweet home, which, fa
miliar as it Is to every one,we had never heard really
sung before it came from the mellifluous Ups of
Jenny Lind." ' 7
Heaven help the editor of the News, if this is
the way It effects evepy body. He has gone to listen
to the warblings from'tlioae "mellifluous lips," and
much we fear that it will be long after his return
before he recovers his equilibrium.
We learn from a friend, who was present on the
occasion, that there was a part of the performance
not reported in the papers next morning. It seems
the.Charleston people have an uncomfortable recol
lection of a wooden mummy which Barncm palmed
off upon them some years ago; and before the np
pearance of Man'llo Lind they made a demonstra
tion, accompanied with violent Iangiiage, threaten
ing to burn tho Theatre. The Mayor, it seems, hnd
had an Intimation of what was intended, and pre
pared an armed force accordingly, and, appearing
on tae stage, notified the > rioters of the fact. No
thing, however,had the effect of quelling the disturb
ance, which was momentarily increasing, until
Mad'lle Lind mads her appearance—and all was si
lence, Calm, anil respectful. Such was tho effect
her appearance that the riotous demonstration was
not renewed.
Shivery Movement In California.
Tho New-York Tribune says that private advices
from Cidlfqrnia stato that many of the capitalists in
that State aro making a move for a change in the
constitution of California, so as to introduce Alricnn
slavery.'fir .
An argument used by the friends of the late com
promise has been, that California could, il she de
sired slavery, ao alter her constitution as to admit
the institution, and that if the country was adapted
to slave labor, the pooplo would not lail to consult
their interests by employing it. That the people
could alter their constitution, we have never denied,
but that there was any prospect of their doing so,
while a large majority of the population of the State
was composed of adventurers and speculators trom
the free States, who had no permanent interest in the
country, and whose prejudices were against the in-
stltution, we have always doubted. It hnd been too
evidently the intention of those concerned in the
forced admission of the new State into the Union to
exclude slavery from the vast territories on the Pa-
citic, to admit of a reasonable belief Hint the institu
tion 'would ever be allowed a foothold there, however
much the interests of the community might demand
It Therefore, we were unable to find, in this vague
surmise of n possible change of the constitution of
the State, any mitigation of tho wrong which had been
infleted upon the South by the “trespassers" on her
domain.
Recent indications, however, seem to lavor the
ultimate verification of what we have heretofore
conceived to be n merely chimoricul idea,'opposed to
all ratiunal views, and discredited even by those who
advanced it in the way of argument, it is a notorious
fact, that within tho past four or five months.the cmi-
gration from has been much larger than the emigra
tion to California. The tenor of the late accounts
has been less encouraging to adventurers than were
those first manufactured for the purpose of swelling
emigration from the Northern States. Fortunes are
not now made in a month by speeuiators.nor arc thou
sand dollar lum»9 of Gold pickedup now as formerly
every day ou the surface. Gold mountains have
diminished into mole hills, and the “ diggings"
have become grave-holes instead ot Gold holes, as
they were previous to the formation ot the constitu
tion. Thousands havo died from the privations inci
dent to reckless adventure, while tens of thousands
have returned disappointed to their homes -n the
States, until.as Mr. Berrien remarked in his speech
in this city, perhaps two thirds of the Americans
who gave a constitution to California, excludingtlie
South from n participation in the domnin to which
she had a joint right with the other States of the
Union, ore now back, plodding citizens, in the States
of their nativity.
The Gold mania is fast dying out—.tho labot* of
digging the precious metal fiom the mines is not
what it was originally supposed to be, and in another
year, few white me . will be found to risk health
and life in the precarious pursuit of Gold. The dis
covery has perhaps already beeu made, tb»t the Gold
mines in California, as in all other countries, in order
to be profitable must he worked by associated or
slave labor. The commercial and agricultural inter
ests of the country nre identified with the mining in
terests, and it ia notun ikely under the new aspect ot
atfuirs, that those who remain in California and who
have a permanent interest in the country, may favor
the introduction of slaves in the mining districts.—
In such an event as the alteration of the constitu
tion of California, wo think it verf probable that
those who were so desirous thnt the new State should
embrace the whole of our Pacific border,will be very
willing for a reduction of her limits. Should the
thing occur, we may ex .ect to sec some political
novelties, such as the exigencies of the country have
not yet developed.

New Hampshire Democrats and the Fugitive

essential modification'' of the fugitive slave law.—
He publishes a second letter explaining that the first
was but r rough draft which he had under consider
ation. but finally concluded not to make any reply to
the tree Boilers; some parties into whose handshe had
put it, published R without his consent. He says
now, thnt as a Christ!an and a patriot, be shall stand
by the inteCompromise measures as a whole.

|5p We gave an account in our paper yesterday,
of the arrest of a Fugitive Slave in Philadelphia, wtfo
as, (to the credit of the city ot Brotherly Love be it
said,) promptly surrendered to his owner. By the
following extract from a Philadelphia letter ill the
Baltimore Sun, it will be aeen thnt there was u futal
mistake in the proceedings. The letter says—
The friends of the alleged fugitive slave are re
joiced to learn that he proves to be not the man, and
ina been sent back by his reputed owner. Commis
sioner Ingraham acted entirely too precipitate in this
case, and contrary to the opinions of all the disinter
ested listeners atthe hearing.
The desire to do justice to the South has induced
him to go further than the slave-owners desire and at
thesumetim net with great injustice towards a free
man. The evidence was so frivolous, and complete
ly contradicted by that lor the prisoner, that his de
cision was a matter of astonishment. The abolition
society which oversees these cases will doubtless see
that prosecutions nre commenced against the outrage
committed by the men who captured him. The
prisoner stated, when before the c mmissioner, that
jo was talking with tho real fugitive about two min
utes before lie was arrested, and it is therefore but
natural that the Simon Pure lias taken the aimm and
put otf to a place of refuge.
Distressing Itailrond Accident.
Columbia. Dee. 24, 10 p. m.
The cars that left here this morning ou the Char
lotte Road for Winnsboro with twetuy passengers,
had just entered on the'ressel-w&rk at Elkin's Mill,
distant about ten miles, when something was discov
ered to be wrong. The Engine halted, when the
two ends of the cross-ties of the tressel-work guve
way and the train was precipitated about thirty b
into the Millpond. All the passengers were more
less injured. Mr. Nicholas Gibson, the D pot Agi
at Winnsboro, nud an infant: of Mr nnd Mrs Powell
died from the injuries received. A servant girl
Mr. Lyles was drowned, Gen.Ewon had an arm dis
located, an i received a cut in the forehead.
The breuklock to the tront wheel of the truck had
become detached from some unknown cause, and
lodged in front of the wheel on the iron rail and this
caused the cars to he thrown from the track with tho
fatal result. The tressel-work received uo injury
and two trains have since passed over it.

Taine's Light Genuine.—This affair is no hum
bug after all, perhaps. At least, Mr. Paine hns suc
ceeded in convincing the editorial fraternity of Wor
cester, Mass., of the reality of his invention ns a
method of making gas from water. The editors
of the Tribune, Spy and Palladium, have each and
atl been inducted into the secrets ol the process, and
come out firm believers iu the magnitude and gen
uineness of the inven tion. The Spy says:
“When the parts of the machine in which the in
vention is contained, the helicps an J electoodes were
examined, a sufficient cause was found to account for
the effect prod uced.
“The construction of them is dift'jreut from any
thing ot the kind before known, yet founded on wull
established principles.”
The editor of tho Boston Chronolypc also wont to
Worcester to see Bnd judge for himself, and is now
rejoicing in the faith that Paine is really the modern
Proineth us who !‘bns extorted from nature the se
cret of the artificial production of light at a nominal
cost"
Other journals state that both the editors oftbe
Worcester Spy and of the Chranotype are Competent
to speak on this subject.
