Mr. Meuasßiager's Speech.
Thospeush of this distinguished gentleman
Ossaaalßslouor from ths State of South Car
ottaa to Virginia, addressed both Houses of
tha Qenerel Assembly yesterday, was au
uffertof marked ability and statesmanship.—
HO was listened to with marked interest. The
Hall af tha House of Delegates was crowded,
an were both tbe galleries, which were appro
priated to the ladies. He traced with great
Clsuraess ths steady inroads from tbe North
upon tho rights of tbe Sooth, and tbe
riss aad progress of abolition fanaticism.—
His picture of the present attitude of
our relations with the North was gloomy
saough. but not nt all overdrawn. He
proved very conclusively that the guarantees
Of tho Constitution have been utterly unavail
ing to protect the South. He argued tbat if
ths Union must be continued tbe South must
demand father and more elhcieiu guarautees,
or usaks concession nf ter concession until she
has lost all influence, nil consideration and all
right In the Confederacy. He urged witb great
force the propriety of a Convention of the
Soathera States to consider the questions
growing out ef our relations to the Northern
States. We have presented in our paper this
morning, elsewhere, as comprehensive a sy
nopsis of Mr. Mkumivorr's speech ns our
specs will admit. He occupied near four hours
la deUvoting It, but tbe nttention of his bear
ore did not flag. Among them .fere a num
ber of prominent gentlemen of the bench aud
tho bar aad public councils.
South i aroliaa.
It Is ths chronic custom of a class of Black
Republican witlings to sneer at South Caro
lina ns v gasconading, rhodoinontude, fuss and
' feather* Commonwealth, as impotent in deeds
as she Is big in words, and as infirm of will as
she is ferocious In temper. Perhaps men who
talk co know no better, but if there is any con
siderable portion of tbe servile population ot
ths Palmetto State as ignorant as its rsvilsrs,
their masters onght to make tbein a present of
their freedom forthwith. With South Caro
lina's political views, we, as iudepeuden t jour
nalists, have nothing to do. They may be
right, or they may be wrong; but, we never
witness aa effort to bring tbem into contempt
as a people, without the most profound con
tempt for those who make the effort. The his
tory of Sonth Carolina, in every war of this
country, exhibits as much patriotism,self-sac
rifice and courage, as the annals of any Stale
or nay nation in the world. To those who pre
tend tbat sbe has degenerated, we beg leave to
point tbs conduct of tbe South Carolina Regi
ment in Mexico, whicb was never surpassed
in heroism by the most desperate exploits of
the Zouaves in Italy. We do not mean, gene
rally, to demonstrate the coinage of South
Carolina. Heaven forbid ! We should as soon
thinb of proving that the sun shines. If she
R * Ban turn In slxe, ns her enemies report, she
has plnck enough to meet all the Shanghai s
between hereand China. When, however, the
Black Republican journals represent ber as
Impotent, ignorant and corrupt, they are guil
ty of n perversion of facts which every man
who respects truth or the dignity and honor
ofhiscountry, ought to rebuke. If South Car
otins were an impoverished State it would
hs no detriment to ber dignity, but her
great staples make her one of the wealth
iest Commonwealths of the Union. She
*t *A*o one of the most conservative, and
deserves universal respect for having stood
Swans urock against tbe ridiculous and de
moralizing constitutional reforms, as they are
called, which bid fair iv tbe end to convert
most of tbe States of the Union into organized
mobs, nnd lead, first to anarchy, and then to
a military despotism. All this may be an ad
dltloonl reproach to South Carolina in Black
Republican eyes, but we respect her the more
for It. They may call ber an Oligarchy. Sup
pose she is I Does her Oligarchy hurt them !
Do her own people complain of any Oligarch*- >.
Is not un Oligarchy better than a Mob .' We
trust Sonth Carolina will never sacrifice her
rational and respectable government for that
insane radicalism which is the rot in the
heart of our American oak, that will one day
bring down iv stately form and branching
glories to tbe dost. Rut, after all, the national
character of a country must depend upon the
Individual eharacte Aiu people. How can
such a people as the Sonth Carolinians are
Individually, be collectively a community of
Imbeciles snd traitors! Tbere is not nmore
Intelligent, refined nnd highly educated class
of men iv America than the statesmen and
scholars of Sonth Carolina, and as to the mo
rn* of ths people, the single fact that there
never has been n divorce in tbe State since the
foondation of tbe Government, is enough
Yet it is snch n State, tbat the pure and im
mucnlute mercenaries of Slack Republicanism
make the constant target of their ribald jokes.

Thk Ice in tub Potomac—The Alexandria
Gazette, of yesterday, says :
The stenroe Powhatan, lor Acquia Creek
on Tuesday morning, on her way down the ri
ver, when near Fort Washington, came in con
tact with a large mass of ice that had accumu
lated between Sheridan's Point and the Fort,
and got jammed iv so that she could not make
ber way out. Yesterday morning the steamer
Philadelphia'wentto tbeassistar.ceof the Pow
hatan, when she, too, became jammed in the
same mass of ice, about fifty yards from the
Powhatan, and could not get out. The pas
sengers from the steamer Powhatan g.-t
ashore on the Virginia side, and walked back
to this city, yesterday, arriving bere about
noon. They reported both the sieamers hard
and fast in the ice, with but a slight prospsct I
for speedily getting off.
The new iron suainer Philadelphia is to al
ternate with the Powhatan to Acquia Creek
during the winter, thus securing a double dai
ly service between "Washington and Richmond j
during tha season, which has been uncertain !
since the closing of the Potomac by tho ice.
The Philadelphia was built expressly to run
between Norfolk and Seaford, Del., at whicb
latter point sbe is to connect with the New
York and Southern air-line route; and will
commence her service there with the spring
opening.
The MABBAtiirfIKTTS Peksosal Liukrtt
Hill.—The Boston Courier concludes a re
view of the Personal Liberty bill of Massa
chusetts as follows:
"That is where Massachusetts now stands.—
The Personal Liberty bill is either a dead let
ter—a wooden gun, a stuffed scare-crow—or it
is possible and potential civil war. With this
law upon our statute-book, all onr professions
of attachment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States are but 'as sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal.' Here is astatine which every
body in Massachusetts known to have been
passed solely to neutralize and nullify the Fu
gitive Slave Law. It is a law for which the
Republican party, and none else, are responsi
ble. And yet there is not a member of that
party from Massachusetts ou the floor of Con
greee tbat will stand up like a man and avow
thia to have been the object of the law; and if
interrogated, they would, probably, make their
escape in some sounding uousense about li
berty and the rights oi man. And this want
of manliness in our public men is, to our
minds, one of the most melancholy facts in our
present state of politics. They blow hot and
cold. They say one thing in" Massachusetts,
and another in Washington. Here tbey caress
Abolitionism, and there they deprecate it."

Smith's Armory Band, marched down Main
; street to latb, thence to Franklin street nnd
up to the Exchange Hotel, where they belted
to receive tbe guest of the State- After whit.
Ing a short time. Cot. Memminger, escorted by
Lients. Harrison aud Lyons, made bis ap
pearance at tbe front door of tbe hotel, when
tbe band played "Hail Columbia," Colonel M.»
standing uncovered for the time. He was then
escorted to tbe carriage prepared for bim,
wblcb was drawn up between tbe two com
panies, and taking bis seat, witb Mr. Beaie,
a member of the Senate, the band struck up
a lively march, tbe line moved off, aud the es
cort was continued to the Capitol, from the
flag-staffs of whicb floated to the breeze tbe
stars and stripes and the flag of Virginia. In
I and around the Capitol bundredsof ladies aud
! gentlemen were gathered to get a sight at the
distinguished Carolinian, wbo bad been dis
patched with a special message irom a sister
State to tbe representatives of Virginia, to
assure the Old Dominion that South Carolina
was ready to side with her In tbe maintenance
of ber rights—wbile the galleries aud every
available space in the building, were literally
packed witb human beings, anxious to bear
the delivery ol hi.- message.
Soon after reaching the Capitol, say at half
past V> o'clock, tbe military were dismissed
until J o'clock, P. M., when they re-assembled,
and waiting until tbe conclusion of Colonel
Meniminger's address before tbe Legislature,
escorted him back to bis quarters at the Ex
change Hotel.
The line halted in front of tbe Ballard House,
when Col. Meuminuer, attended by Speaker
Crutchfield of the House aud Mr. Beale of the
Senate, briefly addressed tbe volunteers. He
'banked tbem, in the name of bis State, for
the honor they had conferred upon him; ap
plauded tbem for the alacrity with which they
obeyed the call of their Governor when the
soil of Virginia was invaded; and assured
them that should the hour come when they
might again be called upon to defend their
rigbts and protect their firesides, thousands
of young asen in his State, and throughout the
whole South, would gladly draw theirswords,
shoulder their muskets, and join them on the
battle-Held. He agaiu thanked them lor their
kindness.
Col. Memminger was then escorted into the
liall.ird House, where the Committee of Ar
rangements had had a dinner prepared for
him, and to which a number of invited guests,
among them Mayor Mayo, sat down.
The military after leaving the hotel, march
[ ed 10 Main street and thence to their armories,
where they werjj dismissed.
The two companies forming the escort, ap
peared to better advantage than we ever saw j
them, and farmed a battalion that would bave
it.ne credit to any city in the Union. Their
[ commanders are thorough tacticians, and by
iheir energy and perseverance have infused
into their men that military spirit soesseutial
to the prosperity of citizen soldiery.
York River Railresad. —A meeting of the
stockholders of the Richmond and York Elver
Railroad Company was held at West .Point
on Tuesday last, and the proposition of the
New York and Richmond Coal .Company to
('(instruct n new road from the Richmond and
Fredericksburg Railroad, commencing near j
the Fair Grounds of ihe Virginia Central Ag
ricultural Society, to some point near the old j
powder maga/.ine on Gillies' creek, about one I
r.iile east ol this city, there to connect with the :
M River Railroad, was frt ely canvassed: j
ing to the fact that two-thirds of the
was not represented, the meeting ad
d until the -'fist inst., when the proposi
ill again come up and be acted upon.
jig. h ol tbe new road will be about six
miles, and will throw upon the York River
Road the carrying of one hundred thousand j
tons ot coal upon the York River Road,every
year, thus iii.-iking .in item in tbe receipts of
that road not to be despised.
The Coal Company, under their charter,
have no power to construct the road necessary
to make the connection with their works,
and for that reason tbey desire to have the
road constructed under the authority and
auspices of the York River Railroad Com
pany ; but tbey are willing to furnish the
means and pay all costs and charges incurred
I n,or incident to the construction. We presume
the stockholders are not at all likely to reject
Hie boon thus ottered, inasmuch asit will te j
tbe means of establishing a largo coal depot I
K Point—the terminus oi iheir read—
ssels will come to secure freight, aad
iblish a trade that will prove pro
the citizens of West Point, and in- ;
to the road and its stockholders.
The County Roods, in certain sections, are
said to be almost impassable, and as long as
the present method of working them is ad
hered to, the people need expect no improve
ments to bs made by the Surveyors." The only
true plan for having good roaos is to let each
road out by coatract, to some responsible
man, and then, ii lie Cells to comply with his
contract, ta presecste and make him pay well
1..r tailing to comply. On many of the roads
tiie Surveyors ure farmers, who dislike to an
noy their neighbors by calling out their hands
to work, as they haven right to do, and thus
the hignways become nothing but boles and
gulleys, and every one who has to ride 01 drive
over them is m vie to suffer. By levying, a road
tax on each male over the age ol sixteen years,
every county would be enabled to keep its
j highways in thorough repair, and every farm
jer who had to haul over one or more of tbem
i would more than make up the tax in the ad
| ditional amount of produce he could haul to
market, not to .--ay anything of the pleasure
! lie would daily derive frees having good rosdt
to travel over. In other States road taxes are
levied, and tbe roads are kept in perfect order.
Why may not a similar system be adopted iv
Virginia >
Paying the Folemte*rs.—Tmt volunteers who
lately served at Harper's Ferry and Charles
town—or at least a fair proportion of them
are complaining bitteily that the General As
sembly have ao! yet niaile provision to pay
them lor their lot lime whilst ia the service
of the Stale. Many of them are poor men,
with large families, and bavins; nothing to de
pend upon out iheir labor, feel severely the
loss of two or three weeks' earnings, at this
particular season ot the year. Five or ten dol
lars go B long ways Witb a v\orkiug man, who
has a wile and children to support; and the
withholding of that amount from his month
ly supplies, is a punishment that ought not to
be in WCted by the Commonwealth. Unless
arrangements are made to pay this class ol
soldiers in a very short time, their claims may
be bought for one-fourth the amount now
justly due them.
Water Pipes.—Tbe late contract by the city
with Joseph 11. Anderson k Co. tor casting
the iron pipes for the extension of the city
water works, will give employment to a num
ber of persons, and besides putting into circu
lation in Richmond abou f tSOAHAi, will relieve
the North of that much " pap." the profits of
which might be invested in the publication of
" Helper pamphlets" and other abolition docu
ments as devoid of truth as are their authors
of common honesty. Messrs. Anderson <k Co.
are preparing their patterns and making other
necessary arrangements as rapidly as possible,
and from all we can learn will furnish supe
rior pipes to those heretofore purchased at the
North.
Class of the Season.—Tho lovers of field
sports, in tliis section of the State, have had
B good season for partridge shootinp, and it is
now about time to tie up tho poimers, lay
aside tho double-barrels, and allow the birds
an opportunity of feeding nnd fattening pre
paratory to the spring. In some neighbor
hoods vast numbers of birds were destroyed
in October, November aud December, and if
the pursuitafter them is continued, none will
be left as breeders for next season. The Le
gislature ought to pass a game law before its
adjournment, hut fioin present indicationa
other aubjects of greater importance will
probably occupy the attention of the members
until tin-close of the session.
Instructive Lectures.— The Rev. J. Davenport
lilackwel), pastor of Trinity Church, is deliv
ering a series of lectures on the parables of
our Saviour, every Wednesday night, in the
lecture room of tile church, on Franklin
stieet. Mr. Blackwell is :i young minister of
decided ability as a scholar and theologian,
undone of the most promising of tbe junior
members of the Virginia Annual Conference.
Il is known to many of our readers, that du
ring his recent pastorate of tvv# years over
the Methodist E. Church on Union Mill, be
won for himself an enviable reputation as an
able minister. Tbe subject lor the next
lecture is the parable of the mustard seed.
A Go«d Tannery, properly conducted, could
not tail to prove profitable to the owners if
established iv Richmond ; aud it is not a little
surprising that the business bas tailed to at-'
tract the attention of capitalists so long. Re

be purchased here, the surrounding country
South and West would furuiab a large quan
tity ; and the lime aud barks necessary for ibe
purposes of the tanner, may be had at our

arrangements for receiving the statue and de
positing it in Mechanics' Institute Hall for
safe-keeping.
Messrs. Macfarland, Saunders, Robertson
and Myers were appointed a commlttde to ap
ply to the Legislature for the privilege of
placing tbe statue on tbe Square, and on tbe
southern slope, if possible.
The Pnlire were engaged yesterday at the
Capitol in preserving order and in watching
for pickpockets, several of whom, fresh from '
the North, were said to be industriously en
gaged in attempts to discover valuable wal
lets and watches. Looking for a needle in a
bay stack would be profitable employment
compared to that of keeping an eye on a
'"pick," when professionally employed in a J
Otfthe7mwk.> Ysstsrduynaoraigythe down
train on the York River Railroad ran oft" the
track when about one mile nod a half from
this city, causing a detention of the passengers
for about two hours. No one was injured. One
of the freight cars was broken, and the track
torn up for a few leet. The damage was re
paired by " o'clock in the p.fternoon.
Good Plan. —Where persons are too poor to
pay the city water rent,and the Council know
that fact, the nse of hydrants is readily given,
so that no one may sutler for the use ot" that
esseitial element. When the water facilities
are increased sufficiently, public hydrants, for
the use of teamsters and others, ought to be
established in the three wards.
A Drain.Bridge is very much needed at the
intersection of 17th street with the dock, so as
to enable small vessels to nana into the west
ern division, and load and unload at 14th and
15th streets. The cost of this improvement
could not tie a great deal, and would enable
many more vessels to enter the dock than can
now get in.
The New Warehouse, near Mayo s bridgre, in.
tended for the storage and sale of tobacco,
when completed, will prove a great conve
nience to the public, inasmuch as its location
Is a central one,aad its capacity very great.
It will probably bs ready lor use in thecourse
of a few mon tbs.
Bad Thoroughfare.— Dock street from llih to
17th, is in very bad condition, and needs some
attention to prevent its becoming impassable.
A stitch in time may save nine, so it is said.
Stealing; Per*.—Nancy, slave to George Turn

of stealing fifty pounds of pork Greta Andrew
Shutte, and sentenced to the lash.
