Tn: ErLEctroNs have passed off in our Siafe very quietly. Federal Politics has had nothing to do with the result, and State politics very little. It is highly gratifying to witness the noble taanner in which the dlissensions of last year have been buried in moset of the Districts. We have not examined the Returns with a view to ascertain which or the late Parties has now the preponderance in Legislative council. But, from casual glances,- we are of the opinion that they are as nearly equal as they should be. TuE Govaoa of South Carolina has called an extra session, of the Legislature recently elected, to cast the electoral vote of the State for President and Vice-President of the L-nited States. (PIENCE and KING will assuredly receive that vote.) It is pro posed to run this extra session into the regular session. As there are questions of much importance to be settled this winter, which may consume considerable time in the details, we can see no good reason for opposing this proceeding. From what we learn, it will probably be carried. Lotns NAroL.EoN has made the tour of the De partments in France with unbounded eclat. It is thought that the Empire will be speedily declared. Several deeply and dangerously laid plots to take the life or the expectant Emperor have been detected by the Police and frustrated. The Fates and the People are thus far on Louts' side. TnE RtvaLRya between Charleston and Savannah is growing bitter, if one may judge from the sparring kept up among their Journals. The quarrel now is, which has more of Yellow Fever. We'would advise them both to get up another interchange of military civilities and " fling physic to the dogs." TuE CUSAN excitement (by which our readers will understand the fuss raised in consequence of the Spanish authorities having ref.ased to the U. S, Mfail Steamer Crescent City, permission to enter the Port of Havana,) is on the increase in sorme quarter., on the decrease in others. At New Orleans a large and violent indignation meeting has been heL- h is said that orders have been issued from Washington to place the steamer 31ississippi in the vicinity of Ilavana, in consequence of an outrage perpetiated by the afore said Spanish authorities upon the American harqute, Cornelia. The " Journal of Commerce," the " Phila delphic Bulletin" and other leading papers defend the Spanish Captain General and his agents, asserting that they have done nothing more than they had a right to do and were bound to do in view of the perilous situation of their Government. Tus PaxCEs or Co'r'roNs stood last week at Charleston, New York and New Orleans as follows: at Charleston, 91 to 101,--at New York, 101 to 101 at New Orleans, 91 to 9*. THE Oai'naw Hlousa of Charleston has been in existence since 1790. Its sixty-second anniversary was celebrated on the 19th inst., at the Baptist Church, Wentworth Street. Rev. Mr. Cu-rnsa'rT delivered an addiess on the occasion. It has eff'ected mnore real good than any other similar institution among us. CUB AND THE UNIED STATES.-We learn from the New York Evening Times of Mlonday, that orders was received from the Navy Depart-. ment at Washington on Saturday night, direct ing the sloop-of-war Cyane, G. N. Hollins com mnander, to prepare immediately for nea, and to sail for Havana at the earliest moment possible. As the Cyane had just arrived from Norfolk, she was ready for sea, and accordingly took her departure on.Sunday morning. She was towed outside the Hook, in order to get a fair breeze, and is now on her way to Cuba. It is als re ported that the U. S. steam frigate Miississippi ha ben ordered to follow the Cyane with all deetehm. The object of this movement, although noth ing certain can be known in regard to it, cannot be diffisult of-.conjecture. The Times Rays: "We take it for granted that the emunnan dens of theme vessels will be instructed to avoid everythng whieh can give the Spanish authori ties the slightest gound of jet complaint, but at the'same time to resist and repel, at every hazad, and by all needf'uI measures, every at tempt to exercise undue inthority -over vessels of the Unitetf2tates,- or to- infringe iur any way the rights and privileges to which Americali citzen iti Cnha are entitled."

FOR TIE ADVERTISER. LICENSE IN EDGEFIELD VILLAGE. MlEsRS. RDITORs :-Liquor is not the only stimu lus which has triumiphed over the impotent attempt Df various Governments to prevent, or suppress its use. Tea, Coffee, Tobacco, Opium and Gambling have all ini theit turn been under the ban of Govern ment and a certain class of conservators or reform ers in society. Yet such opposition has about as aear attained its enO, as did Xerxes, when he com nanded the IIellespont to cease its angry flow. - The broad and rapid River," as Ilomer terms it, lashed on, regardles of the impotent rage (of its vould-be master. So too will the use of stimli go n in defiance of Legislatit-1n, Sons of Temperance, Antl-Tobacco Societies and all other opposition as ong as man retains his present constitution and passions. I believe, it is an admitted fict by all intellgent Chemists and Physicians, that Tea, Coffee, Tobacco iad Opium are all mild narcotics, exhilerating, ben. eficial and innocent in their eilt-ets when used in imall quantities. but pernicious and destructive, like iquar, when employed in exces. Coflfee however, a generally regarded the least so. yet even this is a 2eessary and social stimulus, and hence it is, that we hzave hear d of " Coffee llouses" in our cities, ever since 1652, when according to Moseley, the FIrst one was established by Edwards, the Turkish nerchant, who, to get rid of the countless friends snd visitors, who thronged his house to see and taste this new sort of liquor, allowed his Greek servai*to open a public Coffee~-H~ouse in St. Mi ehael's Alley, Cowhill, I-ndon, on the very spot where the Virginia Cofrefouse now stands. [he. novelty of the beveragej and the growing demand for it, soon caused other houses to be. established, till at length they became the most fahionable re sorts of any places about town, so much so, that their keepers could afford in 1660 to pay a duty of eight cents, or sixteen cents per gallon, on "all Coffee, Chocolate, Sherbet and Tea" made and sold. The duty on the decoction from the brands was soon afterwards abolished and a Custom's duty levied instead, besides a mioderate excise for license to retail "the charming berries of Yemen," which is the law in England now. with respect both to Tea anid Coffee. It woul seem that Coffee-.Ilouses, or placea. where all beverages nmilder than liquor were made and sold, were regarded somevthat in the light of Grog Shops and had to pay a license accordingl'y. and it wa peihaps owing partly to this opinion of them, as well as the injury which lie honestly sup posed they were doing his subjects, but mostly, no doubt, to the suspicious anxiety and fear of losing his late~ly restored Crown, that Charl-s II was ini d uced in 1675, to attemipt the suppression of Coflee Houses, upon the ground that they were public nuisances or places of resort for diaffected persons. Or in the language of the Proclamuation, "1Persons who devise and spread abroad divers false, malicious and scandalous reports to the defaimation of hiis Majesty's Government and to the destruction of thet puace and quiet of the nation." It was in vain that the judges sustained the legality and constitutionali ty of their Sovereign's proclamation-in vain that they deided in that boated land of Omnipotent judge, mode and Common Law, that "retailing Coffee might be an innoceiit trade, but as it was used to nourish sedition, spread lies and scandalize great men, it might also be a common nuisance" and must be suppressed. The people laughed both the Exe cutive and Judicial branches of the Guovernmtent to scorn and drank their Coffee in public Coflfee Ilou'es. It was equally in vain that high duties were levied on Coffee, but whether for -revenue or prevention oi importation it is needless to enquire, yet as late a, 1783 nine times as nmuch was smuggled into Eng. land as paid the duty at tho Custom Ilouse. S. thoroughly wa Parliament convinced, after the trial of alternate high and low duties, of the folly of the former that in 1824 the duty on Cofibe was reduced to six pence per pound, at which I believe it lias continued ever since, to the great advantage of the English people, in increased revenue, increased consumption of Coiree and decreased consumiption of spirits; besides lessening the crimes of smug. gling and adulteration, and the consequ:ent perjury so frequent at trials for violation of the revenue laws. The stimulus of Tea, a strong infusion of whieb will produce incredible excitement and wakefulness in most eonstitutions, hns encbuntered successfully also the opposition which has been made to it or both sides of the Atlantic. It was introduced into EngLand about the sanme time that Coffee was, and was subject to the same tax till 1689, when instead of charging duty on thme infusion made and sold at Coffee Ihouses, in order that private families might enjoy the luxury at home, Government levied the very moderate Excise duty of five shillings, or about one dollar and twenty-five cents per pound on the Tea itself, besides the license for retailing it. Tea is generally esteemed a niore fashionable and cx quisite luxury than Coffee, and on this accouiit a higber duty is naow sad has always been levied upon it in England than uponh Coffee, and because also, the aristocracy who drink it excessively, if not in juriously, are better able and willing to pay the tax. But as the taste for Tea is as commnon to mankind, as that of liquor or any ether stimiulus, the high duties of the British Go-.ernment coutld not prevent the poor from drinking smuggled Tea and conse quently Government defeated its own object--Re venue. ADaM Siar-n says that the rich as well as the poor will buy smuggled goods, on account of their cheap ness, and the poor of Great Britain would have been willing to pay a moderate duty on the smuggled Ta that they maight thereby enjoy the beverage lawfulk- am1 incsea the Revenm.e be.id1. l..t t,..

Every means within the power of the Ministry was used in vain to check it, and as a last resort Mr. Prrr proposed in 1784 to reduce the duty to twelve and a half per cent, which mea sure was signally succewful. Smuggling and the practice of adulteration were inimediately discon tinned, and the legal imports of Tea trebled. But in 1795, the duty was again raised, and after suc cessire augmentations, at various times, it was finally raised in 1819 to one hundred per cent, when the smuggling and adulteration recommenced on the not extensive scale, but in 1836 the duty was lowered to two shillings one pence, or fifty cents on the pound, and if it has been materially changed since I am not advised of it. The use of Tea, Coffee and Tobacco should be as free and unrestricted as water, and if England would pyrsue her true policy, or if she would speak with more efict and eloquence in the Temperance cause than ever did father MArrtUr.w, or even hitis illustrious colleague in South Carolina, Eh ntust adopt the plan of the United States in abolishing all duty on Tea and Coffiee, and admitting both articles free at the Custom House, that nuisance and war breeder of modern nations. At present the cus toma duty of twelve cents per pound on Cofiiee and and fifty cents per pound on Tea, togethter with thte excise duty for license to sell either, prevents their use by the great mars of the English people. But it is feared that hter enormous national debt stands in thte way of her ability to perform such an act of humanity. Sihe however did much for her subjects in this respect, when in 1833 she abiTsied je odious.eamonojik th4at, India Q ".. n and mado it lawful for all individuals or companies to imoport Tea. But even now, the finest green Teas, such at Imperial and Gunpowder, which are regularly itmported into the Utuited States, by reason of their paying no duty here, arc wholly unknown in the English market. Hfence your American peasant sips a finer Tea thtan even mty Lord DvaBYv. lBnt the progress of these beverages in the United States deserv-es a paassing notice. Many of our miserable apologies for statesnmen in Anmerica are accustomed to say, that the cause of the RevolutIon ary war was the St.untp Act and tho duty on Tea. I would like to a-k if thtis be true, why did Mr. .JErFEasoN enumerate such a long list of grievances in the De~elauration of Independence, or that indict mnent against King Gesoca, as it has been facetiously called. Thte be.t htistories that I1:ave ever seen of the Revolution expressly declare, that it was brought about by resistance to te rightt of Internal Taxa tion, which Great Britain claimed. and not by oppo sitio'n to hter yielded right of imposing and collecting External Customs. Still the Tea duty was the most agravating~ circumsutance of all, a sort of Mlaine liqiuor law, and the occasion but not the cause of the war. G;reat Britain wouldl Revenue and the poor colonies wanted the stinmulating Tea at it prime cost in Chinta and thet expense of transportation to A r'er ica togethter with the reasonable profits of .. porter. Alh Messrs. EDnrrS, methinks thte Yan kees of Boston must have shed many heartfelt, if they were puritainical, tears, as they gave the un willing Tea to the ungrateful brine. Tea, as simnple as it looks in a cup upon the table, is not the only stituhs which has caused a war between millions anti changed the face of the world. Opium has twice and thrice made the British Commont thtunder at the cities of the Celestials. I have no doubt but that A merica would have ultimuately set up foes her self, still if Yankees had been periamitted to drink Tea free of duty as they do now in the mtodern Athens, thc United States mtight have been, even while I write, a dutiful and giant child to her glo ritous old mothter. England however sents to have Laken advanttage of the imperious necessity whtich actuates man to usc stimuli, or at least her policy has ever been to tax these articles most severely. antd hence thte remarkable fact, that smuggling and adulteration are confined almost entirely and ex elusioely to stimuli, not only in England, but in every other country, where they are much taxed, to which I shall recur hereafter. It would appear that the national mtind of the United States was prejudiced against Tea in the infatucy of the Republic, by being taught to hate it as thte cause of unnumbered woes anid privations to our fore-fathers, or othterwitte, I cannot account sa titsfactor'ly for the enormously high and dispropor tionate duty levied on Ten, while that upon Coffee was nmerely nominal. Previous to 1827, the duty on Tea, in this country, amounted ingome years to near 83,000,000, or about oar seventh of the whole Revenue, and during that period, I am not inclined to suspect, that manny a Yankee skiff freighted snuuggled Tea, notwithstanding the proud reply to Mr. Cor~cocK's famous speech, that "Our people arc mtorally opposed to smtuggling."~ Iligh duties have not failed to produce smuggling elsewhere, and like causes produce like effects. Man is the same every where, as regards his appetites anti passions. Still this high duty may have been laid to show what heavy taxation a people coulId endure when it was self-imposed, and our people may have had the national pride fto grin and bear it without smuggling. Yet it is strange that Mr. Rousn, the Secretary of the Treasury, should have all suddenly in 1827, re conmmended to Congress to diminish Ahe duty on Tea. H~e assigns his real or ostensible reasons for it as follows. A fter saying somnething of the impor tanmce of opening thme China trade to this country, ho contionues : "Tihe use of Tea has become so general throughout the United States as to rank almoest as a necessary to life. When to this we add, that there is no rival prod'uction at home to be fostered by lessening the amount of its importation, the duty upon it mtay safely be regarded astoohgh.'

But I must be permitjed to say thant they no doubt actually glanted Tea to see if it would grew on the declivities of New England, as it does in China, and finding.tkat it would not they determined to abolish all duty upon both Tea and Coie in 1833,.aince which tite their consumption has increased b'eyond all pariallel, especially Coffee, which was not in general use in either the United States or England, even so late0a0 1807. Tea, in the language of M1r. Rosen, as above given, IS " a necessary of life," and NOT a luxury, as is generally supposed, and herein-lies the great fault of modern legislation, which tredtarand taxes it as such as well as liquor and all oilier .limuli. Any tax on liquor is a nuisance. The abolition of all duty upot Tea and Coffee has clone more for the Temperaube cause in America than could a thousand such Oritor. as D EnorynENas and Ciceso, much less shae1 reformed drunkards, and intinerant brawlers and siorg tellers asDUYeEE and WnrrIE. When we rememiber that this coun try supplies the whole world with Tobacco and thnt consequently the home consumption of that article pays no duty, the seeret .is'atronce explained, whly 'emperance has so 1ourise here. A s yet we aeem to have a sort of coniteigp for Opium, because the Chinese pigmies cat ibkand because also we love to pay a duty upon it. But 4he. consumption even af this stimulus is rapldly~spreading in the United States and elsewhere ourtf:China' .Since 1833 the Sonia of emperance have had their birth and growth to thestrength of an army ,f giants, not unlike -tlhit Eata~ ox's bedy guard in 49 a hoe ban of 1 favorit 6-,--0.,-.f0o0 rion writh whon&nlom aa are babies.

But for thereasons abo given,.and others which I mean to assign, Tempetmee would now be only a name, as it was a century-ago, andI Edgefield would have been spared the-huamiliating scene ef Pun.J WurrE endeavoring to p~rsuade her ladies to unse.x themselves and turn erbandes against stiumihi as " Daughters of Temnnee;" That is a Society which will never prosperfat the South. It is based upon a theory which can only be practised in that fertile land of false theories, Boston and Philadlel phtia, where there areyFemale Medical Colleges, where women preach and edit papers, or assemble in Female Rights Conventions to make ridienkons and disgusting speeches. That woman is the best Daughter of Temperance .who is temperate at home, who make, good Tea and Coffee and lots her Lord sip hiis wine or puff his cloud inpeace. Our women seem to have taken the same view of the subject, for I belieive they could only be dehuded-enough to organize the Society of Daughters, who would be Sons in spite of God, their Father, andi then to dis perse in disgust, newer to. re-assemble. Fair ladies o~f Edgefield, for such a -signal rebuke to Northern viragoes, and for such a beautiful display of Southern female delicacy, modesty and propriety " Good luck, good husbands and good bye to you ?" In my next number I will prave that Tobacco, Opium and Gambling have all been opposed uncue oessfully-that men weill use these stimuli, as weoll as liquor, in the face or all hegislation or aaoeial re sistance.

But on the other hand there are a goodly number eighteen at least, who are altogether satisfied, and seemed disposed to be exceedingly well pleased with the result, and are willing to charge it to thre wisdom and good taste of the "free and independent" voters of the city of Charleston, whose fame for cultivation, taste and refinement has gone out through all the country round about. There was an independent ticket run, p of those who stood pledged to give their -influence, and vote for the nmeasure of giving the election of electors to the people, and fourteen out of eighteen, composing the ticket, were elected. So you may expect a strong pull from Charleston in favor of the proposed ebange. We have had almost every variety of weather du ring the pest week, fronm the intense heat of sum mer, to the chilly winds of October. The early part of the week was hot enough to do credit to the mitddle of July, but on Thursday night a change took place " while we all slumbered and slept," and some-of us rose while it wras yet dark, to look for additional blankets. Friday morning broke upon usn with a brisk and chilly North-easter, which suddenly brought fires and winter clothing into repute ; and throughout the dany oar citizens were their coats but toned, and preferred the iruany side of the street. A few degrees lower *ould .bring a stiLL born Charleston frost, whi-th aregjencrally puny affairs at best. But any thing in te shapo of a frost now would be a perfect Godsefld, for noting else will fi nally rid us of our present troublesonie visitor. The Yellow Fever seems to be on the increase i any thing.

The present is about as gloomy a season as Cbarles ton ever experienced, in business, health .and every thing, and I most sincerely hope never to witness another like it. There were fire funerals yesterday from the Roper Io-pital, and that way not have been the highest number in any one day. The Rev. TuoMA11 J. YouNa, Assistant Pastor at St. Michaels, died on Monday last, after a lingering illness occa sioned by Consuniption of the Bowels, which lie bore with nmch calmness and christian resignation for about two months. Ile was one of our most able and devoted Ministers, and was almost idolized by his congregation. Ile died in his 49th year, leaving a wife and three grown up sons. one of which is in Prussia and the other in England, whither they went to complele their education. Mr. ToesN was a na tive of Charleston, and a grailuate of Yale College, and combined the finihied classical scholar, with the profound Theologin. CAROLIN E DawoRT, of the DERWonT Family, that have been delighting our citizens through the Summer with their Musical Concerts, both vocal and instrumental, died yesterday of Yellow Fever, at the residence of her father, at the corner of King and Beaufain streets. She was only fifteen years old, and was a most beautiful and interesting little girl. She had a fine Alto voice, sang most sweetly, and performed beautifully on the Drun and Piano Forte. But her last earthly note is broken by the still silencee of death, her little drum has beat the reveille, and suninnoned her to anotl.er sphere-a link in the family cirele is broken, a note is missed at the Con cert, while the little warbler has gone to join an im mortal choir, where the blight and mildew of death can never conme. She -leaves a father and two elder ni g c menxza nibI4 m1Iue m~e am-i cool weather commenced ; -' took a stroll this after noon on this fashionable and business thoroughfare -the Broadway of Charleston, where I found the busy throng ini large numbers, reminding me of the city in her better days. A smart sprinkling of beauty ws out, and an occasional dash a the Fall fashions would be discovered, as some city 'lle brushed bye, or peered her pretty face from the~ carrage window. it would require sceeal such gloomy seasons as the presenit to ereate a sensible dimunitioni of the beauty and fashion of Chuareston. Thley senm destined to survive the wreck of more stable nmatter, and bloom and thnurish in youthful vigor amid the wecar and tear of time, and the ga thering maists of age. If you don't believe mo, just call at BitowsINa and Lrxas's any sunny afternoon, and you can judge for yourself. ARCIlEER. SrEciAL.

On W~ednesday and Thursday there was a still finrher declinie of A-the market renmained firm at that, until the nmaking of our report, whih leaves the market with a good feeling, amid brisk at our qutotatiouns. We attribute to some extent this last deeline to the circarmstance of many of our buyers being in attendaacc at Court this week, thereby reducitng competition. We quote 86 to 9.j euts.
