The protracted ?u?d danwrou* il!i>o,?* of our distingimhed Senator h,.s occasioned feelings of deep solicitude in tlio public mind throughout iho whole Southern country. Moro especially has this feeling boon manifested in our own Slate, where lie is universally esteemed as a statesman and a citizen. 13ut we are pleased to learn from a friend, who passed throuirh Ansrusta on Monday last, that lit) was thought to better, although still in a precarious condition. Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals adjourned last week. The ease of Wm. Houos vs. Commissioners of IJoads was sent back for a new trial, and we suppose will be disposed of at our next fall term. James A. Thick and Cmrsi.ky Boat- \ waioiir, who liad been found guilty of tnur- i dor appealed for new trials, which were refused, and they were sentenced to be hung on Friday, iMJth Juno next. Survey of Soutu C&rolinf\. We have been placed under obligations to Oscar M. Likiirr. Esq., for his " lleport on tho Survey of South Carolina."

It is not only contrary to law, except by written order, but carries with it a most injurious and fatal effect upon all classes. Unprincipled while men induce negroes to steal for them, which service is generally paid in whiskey, rendering the servant unfit for duty, and dea e -i uiMM'g iTiunisicrui i i-juiiiUHiii no may nave. They are generally men, too, who arc above the law, and almost invariably escape its merited penalty. When this is the case, other measures must be resorted to, and action is generally based upon the apothegm: That a desperate case requires a desperate remedy. The citizens of Pendleton village have recently found it necessary to rid that community of certain persons ol this character; and, although wo are opposed to anything like mob law, yet, in this case, the criminals have only " reaped where they sowed," and are not deserving tho sympathy of any honest man. And we very milch doubt if they have it. Other sections are mrtch in need of this purging process, and offenders had better keep a sharp look out, or mond their manner of acting nnd living. ? ?? m% -a# aiio laLurinons. From the extracts that appear in our paper this week, it will be seen that the Mormons are creating trouble. What shall be done with them ? is already assuming the proportions of a "vexed question," to which must be added the various twistifioations of their religions faith. The great distance of Utah and the utter repugnance of the government (o employ force in coercion, give them every ad van I ago, but we do not apprehend anything serious. Wo do not agree with the article of the Delia on our firnl neither r.c tc the conduct of iho past or present administration, nor with regard to interference in the religious beliefs of tho Mormons. It is true, tho constitution guaranties to eveiy man his peculiar teligion, be ho Christian or Mahometan ; but we deny that it legalizes polygamy. Whenever Utah is admitted into the Union as a Slate, l.or laws must bo respected by theotlier Sta'es. Polygamy being legalized there, suppose one of tlieso Mormon lords, with his fifty wive% rumovo.i to Soutli (J?roliiiH, how will you disposo of his case ?
