That is, to see what was to be seen. I spent quite half my first day in Charleston thus, away from the congregated politicians—by trade; traversing the streets in all directions, and duly noting the many points of interest in which this southern city is so dicsimilar from any other city I ever saw; for this is my first venture south of the Potomac, you will remember. I was inost forcibly struck with the fact of the independence of all classes of whites one sees here.

The second jury in the case of Mr. Chase hes failed to convict the defendant on the charge of adulterating the acids belonging to the San Fran- elsco mint, six standing for acquittal and six for conviction. A noile yrosequi has been entered. An lminense mass meeting was held at san Francisco on the 6th inst , to protest against the bulkhead bill being passed by the Assembly. The bill is strongly dcneunced cs aswindle. its ce by the Assembly is considered # foregone conclusion. but great confidence {s felt that the Governor will veto it A bill appropriatin and are evideutly determined to act from first to last in the Convention on that hypothesis My own impression is, that the Douylas leaders already conceive all hope of his nomination youe, and are casting about them to strengthen the Douglas interest as inuch as possible in whatever nomination that will be made. Itis believed here that the Kentucky delegation will resistall ettorts to induce them to take Breck- inridge in preference to Guthrie, which the Penn- syivanians and a few enthusiastic advocates of Mr. B.’s nomination from elsewhere are making Unless they do consent, I cannot perceive how Mr. Breckinridge can possibly be nominated. Hunter seems to be regarded here as by long odds the strongest man; as it is conceded to-night that he wil! receive on the first ballot al! the votes of the South, except from Kentucky and Tennes- see, and also a few votes from New England, with perbaps a handful from other States The pressure of southern opinion here for his nom- ination is tremendous, as it is the farthest thing Possible from the oilice and plunder-seeking pressure of the northern outside opinion being manifested here in favor of the nomination of Douglas. Many around me believe that New Pen Ivania delegation will be for Breckinridge. It isa fixed fact that the South will not have Douglas under any circumstances. In fact, the delegations of Florida, an dred Alabama, Lou- is‘ana, Mississippi. ard South Carolina,with por- tions of those of Hlinvis and Indiana, are already organized for a withdrawal in the event of Doug- ted, and will take up Jefferson opposition MEAD, PASTOR. poss Opening « Bait articles at Phithari he yon MONDAY Tho oi 1 xXtto th April 3), 160, ints to econctinie Uy ve Churel. so that ituay BALLS AND PARTIES. i00D TIMES COMING!
