MES:;s. )ITons: As my last letter to you was rincipally con cerned about one object of note and interest in Copenhagen, Thor waldsen's Museun. I shall endeav or to make this cover a little more ground, and perhaps be more in teresting to the majority of your rcaders. It is though with some hesi'.ation that I enter upon the present communication ; not that so much has been said concerning this time-honored and noted city, or its numberless works of art so endeared to the hearts of all who appreciate t h e acquisition o f knowledge, either of this or the past ages ; but for fear that some bf that tameness or indifference which I at times feel for such things, may inadvertently find its way into my writings and thereby destroy the end for which they are penned. Hopinig, however. that this may not be too mucth Ie case, as it is so eminently my de sire to avoid such npardonable nuisance, I will proceed, in the first place, to touch hurriedly on some of the most prominent fea tures of that venerable institution, the University of Copenhagen, whose august faculty numbers among its members some of the most savant and famous men of the present age. This institution, as every one may inf.r, is second to none of a similar nature in all Europe, and is as equaly noted for its present unparralleled prosperity, as for its ripe old age, its many eminent and learned men who have studied within its classie walls, or its king ly founxder. This University was founded in the year 1478, by Christian I, but since that time it has h ad many additions and modi fic-ationis, yet prieserving throug 'h the numerous vicistudes of these four humirxed years, the original or main buxildinxxg entirely unin -j urel. It anid its a ljumnets, the 31useum, Library, Laboratorium, and the proessor's quarters, occu py one entire block or square. The facaihyx consists ot seventy ei gh't professors, besides a n umnber of tutors amld privaLte teachers con nected with the institution ; and among thins xnmber are many men whose works are not unknown in America. and who occupy no mean place in: te ran:Wks o F the Europeamn iLitra. l':.f. Georgze Stephmens, one of this corps, was for fifteen s-ears ceted . as lecturer on English literature and Gr-cian and Romnan a!nt:iquit ies, wvit h the Univ-ersity of (iStekholm, axnd has left as a lb~ting monument of his great an<i exalted genius, profoun'd fearning, and i mlde at igable in dus tryv and perseveranice, one of the finest and most complx'ete works on Ruie monumenc!ts inow extant or indel, that has ever been wr it ten.

J Arrest, Bunt sen, anid a host of others, but pr-e. same the above will suffice. One of these professors is annually elected as itector 3Magnifcus, and he exercises a gZener-al supervisionx over all the affairs pertaining to the University, announces the feasts, issues ilkets ther-eto, as wvell as delive-rs three or- four lec tures per- mnointhi. No dinulomxas-in the Amex-ic-an sense of' the w.ord -are conferre'd at this insitution, except on a completion of somen one of the scientifical ox- professional cour-ses when they give a cert(neate of at tainment signed by each professor who at thme time xs on the commit tee of examination. Ther-e are at present in attendance bout eleven hundred students-t h e lar-gest number durxing yn y connection with the Unxiversity being~ eleven hundred and iift v-live-and fr-om this nxumber one hxundr-ed of the poox-est DuKd students axreselect ed and main tained. at the expense of the tgoveru nent in the R?'/ent unm.

T1he lUversity Liar is a ver-y line one. b:n xxeon to but one in the hi -:n an.d contains two hundred ax mi i tenty thousand _oan v Vcn!Vese vaour collection. but contains nothin very special, or at least. such r has not been mentioned in m comments on the curiosities of th Old Northern Museum. It ht also a varied collection of curios ties from all ages and all parts Continental iurope, England an Scandinavia: ancient armor, we: pons of offense and defense, and variety of interesting agricultur. imiplemnents. The most important chur. edifice in the city is situated i front of; and on the same squai with the University building The other churches, (and ther are many), but all of the same d< nomination, Lutheran, e x c e p three, (an Episcopal, Methodi: and Greek Catholic), are not < much historical note save on Ilolmens Church. Thes; edific< as a whole, savor coi.sidcrably i their architecture of the days i which they WO-,- ercted-thelon ago, being grand, strong and ma sire, Wich, with their high No ma ; windows, and martial tower in lieu of steeples, remind us fore bly that within their mighty wal there is physical as well as spiri ual comfort and protection. Thi however, is not the case in refe enec to the Methodist Churel which, having been built withi the last ten years, is a very fir and beautiful edifice, with doub rows of Ionic columns in fron and is really the only one of a the churches which has anythin of the appearance of modern arch tecture in its construction. Ho inens Church, just opposite Chri tiansborg Palace, is a very 01 one-erected in 1G19, and is notc as being the resting place of t: famous Danish officers, Peter We sel, or better known by his soubr quet, "The Thunder Shield," an the brave and gallant Admir: Neels Juels. The Chedral Church of Not Dame-the present one I hax reference to, for there has bee several churches on the same sit the first of which dated from tl: foundation of the city-was erec ed in 1S29 by the governmen assisted by the donations of privat indjividnals. and is ornamented e: elusively by the works of Tho: waldsen, all of which were ex cuted during his residence in ; f ai, On the right and left of the mai entrance, are two large bron2 monuments of the Jewish law-gi er, and the great psalmist; an just above the vestibule is a ver ine relief, .Sr. John preaching i the Wilerness." In an alcove t the right as you enter is tl: Sculptor's coflin, which was fo lowed to the church by the Kin and all the royal family, and a ho: of government officials. On eith side of the nave are six of tl: twelve apostles, while in a nici: behind the altar stands the colo sal and majestic figure of Chris The "Angel of Baptism"' or tl Fnont, is the gem of the churc ifntof all his works. It repr' sen ts an anigel with flowing ha and trai lin ggarments, in a k nee ing posture holding forward large ocean shell which is to coi tan the baptismnal water, whilei meek thee and pleading eyes a1 reverently turned heaven war The posture, the drapery, the d lineation of every fea ture, and tl fitness of the whole to the end i tend(ed. are as near a perfect cop as man is capable of tracing froi cod inanimate marble. At th ont the child ( Bissen) of tI Seltors itvorite pupil, was ti first christened, the artist actin as spno in presence of the 11r, al family. There are also mat bas-reliefs in the church, the prit cipal of which are: "The Baptis of Christ." and "The Last Supper the latter of these, however. isi the sacristy. Well, we will no turn from this cursory review< the objects of note and interesti the D)anish Capital, to one equall entertaining, the DJane himself. There are many things amon the Danes. both in their privat and social life, and theirt nat ion: ustoms, that will strike the ibo eigner, especialy the Amernicat and the English, as being ver singular, and too, as incompatib with the radical principles an refined tenor of a civilized an protestant form of governmnen Here we flind a limited. constiti tional monarchy, with a parin ment consisting of the King the head and. supreme executor of the House of Peers, which con: poe the nobility or privileg class, and of the House of Con mos, which consists of chose representatives from the commo ality-, all of which have well da fined powvers, priviliges and pr rogatives, and. is thus certainly wise and judicial representation< every element in the kingdo! rTe government is, moreover, r/;A',I one for it has an estal lised national religion in whic the people pride, and take a fi more active part atd a greater I tcrest in thatn their trans-atlant bretren ; and on a tmore extensis and itimate ae< uaintance wit th 1anish ebairacter, we invari; r true, and as sterling a tone of is morality and religion pervading y the whole, as in any civilized na e tion under the sun. Such being Ls the case, we naturally expect to i- find something of the ouftward form f and ceremony of religion that one d meets with both in En:uglamd and Amlierica-but this is found neither a in Denmark, Norway nor Sweden. ii It is very hard to forego those ideas pertaining to the holnc and i re.t of the Sabbath, whi;h were n taught and deeply imbud into - our minds by our inothers during ii.ainey, and Nviici from that pe e riod to n:tanhood becomes enter WoVcn with our social being and t thf religious element inherent it 'in all men. It thus becomes, by )f precept, example, and association, e, a constituent part of self; so when s our destinies are east with a peo n ple who do not como up to our .n general observance of the fourth g commandment, it naturally awkens - a feeling-a reflection-which is r- not exactly the one to prepossess s. us in fhvor of that nation. i- The Dane seems to regard the is Sabbath more as a holiday than a t-I holy clay and too it has a consid s, erable sprinkling of a busine"s day. r- All shops are open on Sunday till ten forenoon, when they are closed n and opened again at four in the Ie afternoon ; thus the clerks, gov lo ernment employees, and so forth, t. have ample time to attend divine 11 service and return to their respec g tive business which is finally closed for the day at 71 or S o'clock in 1- the evening. At this hour the s- Opera, Theatres, and places of d amusement are all opened, and d thither the mass of citizens throng o -thus making these resorts of' re s- creation more crowded on Sunday i- evening than any other during the d week. With the Copenhageners, i excursions into the country, either on the cars or in their own con -e veyances, is a favorite recreation - during the Summer months; and n on their return, they resort to the e, public gardens of Tivoli orAlham C bra, where they can enjoy some of t- the sweetest and most superb mu t. sie to be heard in the Capital, and .e all too. for the sum of nine cents. ;- They also attend balls, parties and r- soirees-the ladies do light and fancy needle work, and both ladies . and gentlemen play at chess, domi n noes and cards for a trifling con :e ! ,ideration-and all on Sunday, with just as good a grace and bonest a d conviction that they are doing no y ceil, as we are taught that they n are doing wrong. In conclusion. o we must mind and not draw a e forced conclusion, or take the l- shadow for the substance, from the g remarks presented above-for the t Danes are as far advanced in the -r arts and sciences, are as generally 'e educated, have as refined and pol e ishedsociety,andaslhighastandard s- iof ethics as any nation in Europe. t.

On Saturday last, at an eariy hour, our village began to L thronged with negroes from a'! parts of the county. .it had been industriously circulated that Scott would be a speaker. About 1v 'clock the drums beat throug: the streets, and a processi, : w= formed, composed of about five hundred able-bodied field hands. while probably an equal number of stragglers, ancient Africans. men women and bovs, filled the side walks. A half dozen Grand Marshals, mounted on the horses of the State Constabulary, Joseph Crews and \athaniel Freeman. gallopped to ar. fro the streets of the little village. At the head of the procession, composed probably of five hun dred men, marched a company of about sixty negroes in fill uni form, armed and equipped accord ing to Winchester or Springiield rifle law, with fixed bayonets. cartridge boxes, and all the ac coutrements of war. The remai.I der of the negroes were armed with every pattern of firearm known to modern warfare-shot guns, single and double ; pistols in belts, old squirrel rifles, blud geons, sticks, stones, &c., and ev ery ihshion of sabre and sword since Nimrod. They paraded ev ery nook and corner of the town for several hours, the bayonots of the escort company bristling ter ror to the half dozen white men occupying the fronts of their bus iness houses. About 12 M. they moved to a deep ravine near the town, and listened to barrangues from the miserable scalawags, Y. J. P. Owens, Jos. Crews, one Fifer, from Newberry, and two or taree ne'rroes. wens and Crews made incen diary speeches, and talked of no thing but the arms in the hands of the negroes, the ballot box and the cartridge box going hand in hand, &c. Fifbr, who came, we believe from Newberry, spoke in tho carn wcrli6o tonc, only his strain was doubly bloodthirsty. In contrast with these speakers the negro orators made no allu ion to arms and blood. Owens and Crews never move with the negroes in procession through the streets, but sneak off when they have delivered their inecndiary harrangues. Delegates were appointed to the Republican Convention. The sense of the Scott militia was taken and it ap peared that Scott and Ransier are the favorites for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The negroes are evidently vain of their uniforms and their bayo nets, but peaceably inclined, while Owens, Crews and Scott, (through his agents, the Constabulary,) arc determined to have them used on the white pcople.-Laurensville Herald. EiW YoRK, July 31.--The cot ton movement for the week has been light. The receipts at all ports were 6,012 bales, against 7.477 last week; 9,174 previous week, and 8,565 three week's since. The receipts since September 1, 18G9, reach 2,S49000, against 2, 111,110 for same period the pre vious cotton year. The exports from all ports were 9,G313. against 12712 last week, and 921 this week last year. The total ex ports since 1st of September are 216,502, against 1, 426.53() last year. Tfhe stock at all Unitedl States seaports is 115,105, against 39 ,)22 this date last year. The stock at interior towvns is 24,736, against 27,091 last weel, and 1.63 this week last year. The stock of cotton at Liverpool is 5S,000, against 315.000 last year. The amount of American cotton afloat for Great Britain is 59,000, against 28,000 last year. The amount of Indian cotton afloat for Eur-ope Is 403,000, against 718,000 last year. The cotton market at this point has been irregular during the week and lower at the close. The chief feature of the market was a cor ner against speculators, who put a large amount of contracts for July delivery. These speculators for a decline discovered the folly of selling that which they did not own, and have emerged from the fiery ordeal, morally stronger and financially weaker.

Who is the district.attorney in South Carolina charged with the duty d Of proseecu ting notorious offenders 1 against the statutes of the United c tates?
