V J. UMABLtSO, CO KASTKAX, H.C.C.CBUZCH JOHN L. MARLING. iCO. EDIT0E3 AND PROPKJETOI18. SUNDAY MORNING, DEC. 4, 1853. Qr" Sec first l'age. KEEPER OF THE PENITENTIARY. A bill lias passed theJIouse of Representatives by nearly a party vote to take tlie appointment of Keeper of the Penitentiary, who, under the pres ent law, is appointed by the inspectors nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, from the Inspector, and give the elation to the Legist lature. The bill has passed one reading in the Sen ate. When it came up on the second reading, an . a mendment was .offered by Mr. AToo&e, providing that the cliange. shall not take effect until 1855; and the bill and amendment were laid on hc ta. ble. , . No complaint ij made that the present mode of appointing th keeper has not worked wclL The whole cause of the proposed cliange is, to secure in office a whig by legislation No other reason can be offered for the attempt to take from the Gover nor the supervision of the Penitentiary. This is certainly a very paltry business for a Legislature to be engaged in. It exhibits a greediness for spoils rarely witnesse-J. We look to tho Senate, regard less of party, to crush the life out of the thing. ,SjlTi si of one solitary good reason for making the SSfcc' -V -o caa be riven, aside from its party ' beariiijr. We have only heard one other reason attempted to bo offered, and that is, that it is more dtmocraiiejLo elect by the Legislature than to appoint by "the Governor! This reason i3 urged by tvhigs. This implies a compliment to the democracy certainly, to want to adopt the most democratic mode of election I But the profession is utterly insincere, and the assertion incorrect. An appointment by the .Governor is more democratic than an election by the Legislature 'an hundred times .moro so. The Governor is directly responsible to the people of the State, and can be much more easily reached if he ens than can the hundred men who compose the Legislature. While we should be glad, therefore, to see whigs become mil converts to democracy in anything, they must permit democrats to under stand what democracy is better than they do, and ' to susnect their actual devotion. We repeat, that to make the keeper of 'the Pen itentiary responsible only to tho Legislature is re ally not to hold him to any responsibility at alL' Formerly the Physician of tha Lunatic Asylum was elected by the Legislature. This did not work well at all, aud the plan was abandoned. The people have latelyJbrced the Legislature to give back the election of Judges and Attorneys General into their own hands. At such a time, the' Legislature proposes to take from the Governor and give to itself ths appointment of keeper of tho Pen itentiary, for the very patriotic reason that a whig may be elected, while the law as it at present stands might enable a democrat to be chosen ! The interests of the Stnte of course sink into sig nificance when so grand a design is to be accom plished 1 We are certain tliat no democratic Senator will lend himself to the purposes of whiggery in this matter; and without democratic aid, the schemo will faiL THE RABUN CAP RAILROAD. Gov. Masking, of South Carolina, in his annual message to the Legislature of that State, gives a statement of the prospects of this road, which will be of great intcrost to many of our readers. As wc understand the statement of the means &f the com pany, it does not include the subscription of $400, 000 by the State of Tennessee, included in the om nibus bill lately passed by the Senate. If this bill passes tho House, it will reduce tho means yet to be provided to build and equip the road from Charles ton to Kuoxvillc to $400,000. This is really a very gratifying prospect for the friends of tho road. Gov. Massisg says: By the act of incorporation of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, passed by the last General As sembly, the guarantee of the'State upon the bond3 of the Company, to the cxtcutoff;i,250,000 was se wed, upon the following conditions: First, that $500,000 should be previously subscribed to the cap ital stock of tho said Blue Ridge Railroad Company in South Carolina, by responsible persons, compa nies or corporations. Secondly, that such subscrip tions should be made, or aid furnished to the Rail road Companies in North Carolina and Tennessee, designed to connect with that portion of the Road lying in this State, ai would give reasonable assu rance of die construction of the said North Carolina and Tennessee Roads. These conditions have been complied witk The city of Charleston has sub scribed $500,000 to that portion of the Road lying within this State: and Messw. Anson Bangs & Ca have contracted for the construction of the entire Road, from Anderson, in this State, to Knoxville, in Tennessee, which renders the connexion not only reasonably assured, but as certain as any enterprise of such an extent can be. By tho terms of this agreement the contractors are to receive in payment one-half in cash and the other ha'f in capital stock and mortgaged bonds ot the Company. By this mode of payment, the ultimate estimated costof the Road is brought much more nearly within the scope of the resources of lire Company than is usual in enterprises of such magnitude. At rates agreed upon with contractors the entire cost of the Road from Anderson to Khoxville, in Tennessee, together with necessary appurtenances, including interest accruing upon the bonds of the Company until the comple tion of the Road, will amount to the sum of about S7,500,000. To meet this outlay, tho Company es timate their resource as follows, viz: Subscription by the city of Charleston to the Blue Ridge Kailroad in boutli Car olina, Subscription by the same to the Bine Ridge Railroad in Georgia, Subscription of Knoxvilleand Charleston Railroad Company, Other subscriptions, estimated at State endorsement of bonds of the Com 500.000 519,000 500,000 151,000 pany, 1,250,000 Estimated amount of stock and bonds to be issued to Messrs. Bangs & Co , being one half or 37,500,000 .1,750,000 0.700,000 It will thus be seen that the means of the Compa ny will fall short of the estimated cost of the work about SS00,O0O. This enterprise is undoubtedly the wisest and the greatest which has ever been projected in this State, and the ultimate results will be as beneficial to her interest, proportionably, as the great western lines of road to New York, or the Baltimore and re . Ohio Railroad now aro to each of thoso cities re r spectively, and commenced under circumstances mucn more lavorauie to its completion, it is a more importaut measure than the proposed Charles ton, Louisville, aud Cincinnati Railroad, because it is a shorter route, embracing all the advantages of irirsnlnmN rt the oilier, and is less liable to die diversions of the I trade from the vallieys beyond the Alleghanies, ow- ingtoiu peculiar location, iiy an arrangement shortly to be consummated, the charters gratitcd in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, will have all their privileges ceded to tho Ulue Ilidge Rail road Company in South Carolina, so that the latter named corpration will exercise entire control over the affairs of the whole line of the road. By this it will be seen that all means have been adopted to give security to whatever capital tho State, or citi aens within tho State, may contribute to this great work, by confining the control of its affairs alto gether within our own borders. To perpetuate this nower is in the highest degree desirable. It will jrive to tlie State tlie indefeasible right to a railroad communication from Knoxville, fu Tennessee, to j Charleston, and die exclusive power to control and manage the affairs of this company; thus establish ing in perpetuity a highway of trade and travel from the remote West to ourown seaports, the value aud importance of which can hardly bo cstimed. By the communication which was established by the charter between this department and die Blue Ridcrc Railroad Company, 1 havo been enabled to Messrs.

The endorsement ot the bonds ot the Blue Ridge Railroad, Company cannot be re garded as a subscription, for it is totally dissimilar in its character, and far less beneficial in its opera tion. In the one case the State becomes a co-partner, and risks her capital, and awaits the distant re turns of dividends; in the latter case she simply makes herself liable as an endorser, and takes the first mortgage on the property' of the stockholders to secure herself against .the possibility of losi THE NEWS FROM EUKOl'E. The Turks have no doubt thus far been success ful in resisting the monstrous power of Russia'. In every engagement they have "been victorious. The accounts in' relation 16' the deficiency ibf food in England and France, and,, in fact, in most of ;the countries of Europe, are a3 serious as ever ; and the certainty of such a deficiency is fu'ly revealed. Several of the usual" source's 'of supply no 'longer exist. Tho Sultan has forbidden the export of grain from Ins-dominions Nope is to be exported from Egypt after a. certain date,. not far distant The Nile overflowed before tho harvest was over, and destroyed a great portion pf the crop. The exports from the Baltic will be in a great measure stopped by the Russian war. ' Want will breed in surrection and' perhaps revolution, in many 'places, whatever the result of negotiations In regard to 'the Russian and Turkish war., Already a large por tioii of the mills of England are stopped by strikes of the operatives, for increase, pC wages; and their demands must be acceded to, or more serious diffi culties follow. The mcrdasc'ih pVicV 'orfocfd ren ders an increase of earnings necessary to subsist ence. Seventy thousand operatives have struck in one place. According to the Washington Union, Great Britain will want,' during the 'coming year,, over 20,000,000 quarters of grain moro than its own crop. From.the'factsabovestated, it-will be seen that nearly tho whole of this demand must be sup plied from this' country. The wahts'of France are nearly or quite as large; and she must depend to a great extent on the same source of supply. And yet these' are: the two nations that, by protests and fleets, seek to set bounds to .the limits of our repub lic, and suppress the "democratic instincts" - of the American people.- JJut, under present circum stances, there is no danger of anything' more than protests. They cannot afford to go to war with this country. iTonstain Turkey in the war com menced, is "work enough for England and France for die present . FROM BRAZIL. By tho arrival at New York of the clipper ship Union late and important intelligence has been' re ceived from Rio de Janeiro and the Argentine Re public. Gov. Trocsdale, the new 'United Estates Minister to Brazil in place of Mr. Sciiexcic, who re turned home in the Union, was presented (o the Emperor on the 8th of October. From the Argen tine Bepublic we learn that the Constituent Con gress of the thirteen Provinces, exclusive of Bueno3 Ayres, was still in session at Santa Fe, and had unanimously approved the treaties with the United States made by Urquiza, and had also refused to accept the resignation of that gentleman as Provis ional Director.

Ramset that a contract has been made by the Edgefield and Kentucky. Company (from Nashville to ITcnderson, Ivy.) with Vanbergen, Ward fc Co., for the construction of the entire road, ready for the rolling stock, to be com pleted by the 1st of January, 1S5C. The portion pf the road lying in Kentucky, is also, we believe, un der contract The speedy completion .of this road will place Nashville in the way to secure an unlimit ed supply of coal, passing as it does through almost inexhaustible coal fields. B5F" The Supreme Court of Indiania has decided that portion of the liquor law submitting the ques tion of "license or nqjicense" to a vote of the peo ple, to be unconstitutional. The effect of this de cision will be to permit all who may give the re quired bond ta deal out liquor in quantities to suit purchasers. NEW YORK. DRY GOODS MARKET. The New York Herald of Friday says; "The dry goods business displays very little ani mation; but with diminished supplies of .seasonable articles, and a great need of such among retailers., prices of most desirable fabrics are well supported. Brown sheetings and shirtingi are ill but very mod erate request, partly for export, at former "quota tions.

We left the market on Tuesday last with a very fair enquiry, which was resumed quite actively on Wednesday, init there was a general compliint on the part of broki'rs that they found the market poorly supplied with the qualities for which their orders uiojt called for (viz: Middling, Gcod Middling and upward) and through this deficiency, and the more lull rates claimed, the business of the day was confined to about 6600 bales, the advantage in prices being still more on the side of factors. On Thursday the market again opened witU a very good enquiry, and a fair business was going on, when about noon the demand was stimulated into unusual activity by the receipt of the Canada's advices, which were looked upon in a taorable . light, inasmuch as the Liverpool Cotton market had slightly adranced, notwithstanding a confirmation of the reported commencement of hostilities between Russia and Turkey, Under the influence of this increased demand factors quite readily disposed of round lists, embracing low Cottons, that "were previously rather neglected, and the sales reached fully 14,200 bales, which wa3 much the largest djy's business of the season. Yesterday the enquiry was les active and general, and at the name time the supply ou sale was less ample, while, the rates demanded by lactors were more full than those obtained in the large business of tho day previ ous. Under these. circumstances lbe sales were aboui4200 , biles; makisg a total lor tho pai-t three days of 25,000 bales, and for the week of 44,100 ba!s. taken for England. France. Spain, the Continent and the Nertb, with some lots sai 1 to be ou speculation. With respect to prices, as wo have al readv It.timated the advantage has been on the side of sel lers from dav today, aud the udvar.ee within the week lias been fully hidi! a cent y lb, mostly within the past two I days, and the gi eatest improvement being in the Middling und better grades. We alter our quotations to conform as nearly as possible to the rates current, though wo must re 4iiaik that we find much diversity in the representations of ' different parties. f The question of crop, which for sometime past bos' been Ueuny lOSl SIilL Ul 111 tuc IIIUIV IlUlllCUUtlC CSSUIC Ul uwci inlloences, seems now to be assuming u position of some prominence in the calculations of parties connected with the trade in our great staple.

In respect to the quality of the present crop, it is geDeral lyadmitted to be the lowest iuav rage of any that has come to market, ,at least for many years ; and inyiew of the exces sive proportion of wc Cottons in the receipts thus far, and the very limited demand for them, compared with the better descripu'ous, even at an unusually wide difference in price, we deem it not improper to repeat the'suggestion which, we 'he liberty to make about a month s nee viz: that it mi ht be .cll for pantcre far M mar be in tueir jr, ...
