Thu Presidency.— The Savannah Journal pub
lishes a portion of a Otter from a Southeru Sena
tor, from which we make the following striking
passage:
“ I am anxious to set- your comments on the
Message. lam decidedly of opinion that Pierce
ts the - proper candidate for the next trial, Tha
South will be untrue to herself to forego the oppoi -
tunity of a distinct trial of the Northern people
upon the issue he boldly presents —and presents in
the best possible way: not by party resolutions of
* Convention, but as the matured judgment of a
President, who, although a citizen of a Northern
State, upon the responsibility of his oath to sup
port and defend the Constitution, exposes the dan
ger to the l nion from Northern aggression, and
justifies the Southern States in their just and mod>
ate course."
Compliment to Prof. Lie her.
The South Carolinian, of yesterday, savs:

Consistency of President Pierce.
The Washington Union says:
“The abuse showered upon President Pierce,
because of hi- bold assertion and masterly vindi
cation of the rights and duties of The States under
the Constitution, seems to infer that all this was a
new development of principle. It is, on the con
trary, in exact ami conclusive consistency with the
whole career of the President, from the beginning
of his public life down to the moment of his elec
tion as Chief Magistrate of the United States. He
has never, for a moment, wavered on these great
questions, llis record in both houses of Congress
is so complete, that in 1852 it was compiled and
circulated by the advocates of Gen. Scott, thrsugh
the Northern States, to show that Gen. Pierce was
completely identified with the very doctrines which
he is now denounced for reiterating in his annual
message! It is well to remind the country of a
fact which the enemies of the Democratic party
seem anxious to conceal.”
Every word of this is true to the letter. The un- |
compromising war that President Pierce has, dur- I
ing his whole political career, waged upon Aboli
tionism, has won for him the bitter hatred of the j
whole crew. No Northern man is more obnoxious |
to them, or has been more formidable to them,
wherever, in the past history of the country, his I
influence has been exerted. It was he who, for a j
time, prostrated and drove from the State of New i
Hampshire, John P. Hale, and this is the secret of
the late furious personal assault of that inveterate
agitator upon the President.
Borne aloft to the United States Senate, on the
great anti-Nebraska wave, which swept down so j
many of the true and patriotic men of the North, .
who helped to pass the bill, Hale now, from that j
position, fulminates his thunders against the great j
antagonist of his traitorous war upon the Constitu- I
tion. The Freesoilers of the North, sympathizing !
with him, listen eagerly to his words, and South
ern men, we are mortified to say, are engaged at j
; the same time with Hale, though for different pur- j
poses, in the same work of denunciation. They
war upon the President, and at the same time vote
j for Henry M. F< llkr, of Pennsylvania, an original
1 anti-Nebraska freesoiler, the friend and ally of men
I who were arrayed in hostility to the South when
I her Constitutional rights were at stake.
The fact that Mr. Fuller does not now advocate
j the repeal of the Act, should not, of itself, atone I
i for the past, or render him now acceptable to South
i ern men. Even Horace Greblv concedes that the
repeal of the Act is hopeless and impracticable.
Were it otherwise, what assurance have the South
that Mr. Fuller would not now be leagued with
him to accomplish that result? We have not yet
seen any confession, from the lips of that gentle
man, of any change of opinion on the Constitu
tional rights and bearings of that great measure.
Mr. T. S. Piggott.
This gentleman, the Southern Agent of the As
sociated Press, for the Telegraph line, arrived in
this city, from Columbia, yesterday. The Colum
bia Carolinian, of the 10thinst., says:
We regret the departure from amongst us of Mr.
• T. S. Piggot, the Agent of the Associated Press,
who left to-dav for Augusta. For two years he has
! been a very important acquisition to the daily press
;of our city. His energy, attention to business, ur
j bauity and friendliness made him a general favor
; ite. We commend him to our friends at Augusta,
I as worthy of their appreciation, while we give him
up grudgingly.
Another paper in Columbia, the Examiner, in its
last issue says:
In parting with Mr. Piggott, it is due to him from
our business connection with him iu one of the
daily papers of the city, to say, that he has dis
charged his duty faithfully, promptly, and to the
satisfaction of all concerned. He is a gentleman
of courteous manners, very amenable in his inter
course with the press, and very obliging in every
respect in the various details connected with his
position. The Association could have no more effi
cient and courteous officer to attend to their in
terests than he is, and we take great pleasure iu
commending him to the kindness, courtesy and
attention of our Augusta cotemporuries, cordially
wishing him a pleasant residence among them.
W e are pleased to welcome among us a gentle
man so favorably announced, and trust that our
intercourse with the Agent will be as pleasant and
satisfactory as it has been with our cotemporaries
in Columbia. We cordially welcome him to his
post, aud to our city.
The Recent Disturbances at Bethany College,
Va. Mr. Philip Burns and nine other students
who quitted Bethany College in November, have
published statement of the reasons which in
duced them to take this step. The question of
slavery had often been publicly debated by North
ern and Southern students previous to Sunday,
Nov. 11, without causing ill-feeling on either side;
but on that day, at the president’s request, Mr.
Philip Burns chose lor the subject of a sermon,
“The Great Principle of Liberty,’’ and alluded to
West India emancipation. Theexeitement became
intense, and a tremendous stamping and hissing,
is is alleged, was made to silence him. Then about
one-third of the audience rushed out with loud
cries and imprecations. Stones were hurled against
the house, and it, was proposed to conduct Mr.
Burns to Buffalo creek, hard by, and baptize him
in the name of the “peculiar institution.” The
mob, however, were frustrated in their purpose
through the vigilance of Mr. Burn’s friends. The
next day about twenty Northern students held a
meeting and resolved to leave the College, unless
those connected with the mob were publicly rep
rimanded or expelled. On the following day one
of the Professors told them that if they did not
return to their classes the Faculty had determined
to expel them and publish their expulsion in all
the leading papers of the Union. Ten of the twen
ty students remained firm to the resolution they
had pss.-.'d, and failing to obtain any redress, they
quitted Bethany College.— Haltimo,r Son.
Rains of Middle Georgia. —The following table
exhibits the amount of rain which has fallen at
this place, during the Inst six years, in inches and
hundredths of an inch :
1850
1651 47.39
3-652 50.24
1853 .48.75
1654 44.35
1855 51.52
Total 295.51
Mean.... 49.25
The whole amount of rain falling on the whole
surface of the globe within the above period would
form an immense ocean more than tu •ftityfour nod
a half ftl deep over the whole surface of the
earth, and in that part of the world supposed to
have been deluged by Noah’s flood, the amount
falling in the same proportion over the whole
Western Continent , would have probably covered
the tallest mountains of Asia Minor.

ing a Divorce, a vinculo matrimonii, if, in the opin

other obligation taken in a criminal case. The
same formalities to be observed in carrying up
| causes under this Act, as are prescribed by law in
. other cases, except the Judge, whose decision is
complained of, may, in his discretion, grant a super-
I sedeas upon the application of the Attorney or
j Solicitor General. The costs accruing in the Su-
I pretne Court are to be paid in the first instance to
the Solicitor or Attorney General, who is afterwards
; to be re-imbarsed out of any money in the Treasu
ry of the county, provided one Judge of the Su

from the subscriber, on the 12th in
ut scant, my Negro Boy, BILL.
Description— Bill is about 22 years old, about 6
feet high, and weighs about 190 pounds. He is
rather black, has a large mouth, and shows his
gums when laughing; is rather slow spoken, and
has but very little beard. He had on when he left
a snuff colored sack coat. I bought him from Joel
Dorsey, of Columbia county, and he may possibly
be trying to make his wav back.
, A white man, calling himself JAMES ROBIN-
was seen talking with the Negro, and it is ia\
opinion that he has been decoyed off bv the said
Robinson. Said white tnan gave bis name ns Rob
inson, and also as Dorsey. Said Robinson or
Dorsey is about 28 or 30 years ot age, with promi
nent cheek bones, black whiskers and hair, weighs
about 160 pounds, and speaks rather through his
nose- o. H. WALTON
