Jntimitg leading. From the Charleston Evening News. CAPITOL PUN ISHMENT, OR, DOINGS AT THE CAPITOL, poem in four stanzas, adapted to the popular and boautiful melody, "Jordan is a hard -V road to travel." 4 "Oh! I die Horitio."?Horatio. "Oh ! I'm a gone coou."?Crocket. "Oh! I'm most dead, most dead."?Simmr. At the Capitol of lato they got up a debate Qn the general attains of the nation. There was Doutzlas and Cass, and others of theii olus, Against Sumner And his blackguard oration. There "were speeches from the North and speeches from the West, Andpeople in the galleri*"" > pplaudin', There were speeches very ane from South of Mason's line, And some from the?"tother side o' Jordan." That old oraxy-headed fox, from the land of wooden clocks, Abused Butler and South Carolina, While with shouts of applause the abolition jackdaws, Said no speech they had heard yet was finer. He said all he could say while Butler viae away, For be knew that?instead of applaudin', The old Judge would take his stick, and hit him such a lick, That he'd knock him to the-?"tother side o' Jordan." Bat it happened, so we're told that this orator so bold, Was not long his match in meeting? And he found out with pain, though Brook's weapon was a Cane, It was able to give him n beating. So this man of books was "punished" by Brooks, His many kind favors re ward in'? And he h&llo'd as he bled, "Oh I'm dead, I'm mo3t dead!" And Fm going to?the "tother side of Jordan." Now the moral of this tale, we hope you won't fail To .perceive and miud what you are doing. Tor if Abolition folks come to play off their jokes, They must look ou^for squalls a-brewing? If they want to make a noise, with the Carolina boys, And set about to act accordin', We will give 'em a coat of tar, and put 'board the ?ar, And send them back "tother side of Jordan!" PADDY AND THE LOVERS. A few monlh8 eince a son of Erin, about eight o'clock one evening, called at a country inn in the western part of Pennsylvania, and demanded lodgings for the night. It was evident from his appearence and actions that he and liquor had been jolly companions throughout the day. The landlord was a lazy, good natured soul, and had imbibed rather freely that day himself. "If I give you a light and tell you where the room is, you can find the place ?" said the landlord. "Och and it's myself that can do that most illigantly. Just show me the way, and I. will find it as aisy as the Holy Virgin showers down blessings upon the sinful," rejoined Irishman. The directions were given him and also a candle. He was directed to go to a room on Ihe second floor in the house. By the time ho had reached the top of the stairs, his light had become extinguished and he had forgotten in what direction he was to go. Seeing rays of light issuing from a room, the door of which stood slightly ajar, he reconnoiterea the inside of the room and found it to contain a bed, in which lay a man, and a stand with a small lighted lamp upon it. Feeling disinclined to make any further search for the room to which he had been directed, he divested himself of his clothing and quietly crept into bed. He had been in but a few moments, wlicn a young iady and gentleman entered the room. The Irishman eyed them closely. They seated themselves on the chairs, in close proximity to each other, and after chatting merrily for ~ a 3hort time the young man threw his arm around her waist in a very cousinly manner, and imprinted a kiss upon her tempting lips. There was a witchery in it which demanded a repetition. The scene amused the Irishman vastly, and being free from selfishness, he concluded that his sleeping oompanion should be a participant with him in the enjoyment of the scene, nudged him, but his companion stirred not. He put his band upou him, and found that he was tightly locked in the embrace of death.? Synonymous with his discovery, he bounded qijt qf hed, exclaiming : "Hurther ! murther! Howly Saints of Hiven protect me!" He had scarcely touched the floor with his feet before the young lady and gentleman were making rapid strides towards the stair. way, terror beiDg depicted on their countent ances. They had just reached the top of the stairs when the Irishman came dashing along, as though the fiends of Erebus were closioug at his heels, intent on making him their prey, and the whole three went tumbling down the stairs, and it is hard to determined which reached the foot of the stairs first. The landlord stood aghast as the IrishWVA?1 tk A k.lHMAAM m! >k m ikiL I MM uiau uoucu iwiy tuc uauuuui, Willi nc?? iiin^ between him and nudity but a garment vulgarly styled a shirt, the hair on his head standing upon end, his "eyeballs ready to leap from their sockets, and he gasped for breath. It was a sight which would have made a man laugh who had worn a vinegar face from the day of his birth. Nothing co.i\ld iuduce him to seek a bed that night again. When the young lady and gentleman found that it was not the corp?c that had so unceremoniously bounded from the bed, they returned to the room, (they being the watchers for the night,) and doubtless commenced courting at the point where it had so suddenly broken off. Give iiim Justice.?Last fall, in Boston a man detecting an unlawful intimacy between his wife and a neighbor, entered a complaint against them, upon which they were held to bail, which they readily found. The injured husband was aiso bound over as principal witness, and, being unable' to cot bail, was, of course, placed iu jail to await the trial. The other day the case came up before Judge Abbott; it was found, however, that the husbuud could not be a witness against his wife, and so the parties wore all dismissed. Thereupon the injured husband, "move in sorrow than iu auger," addressed the court as follows : "Your honor, is this whatthey call justice? Here, six months ago, I eumplaiued against this man for crimiual intercourse with my wife ; thereupon I was locked up cut of the way, and he has lived with her ever since. Now you say I can t testify, and there's no case against him. Why-couldn't you tell rue last fall, without keeping me in jail all winter, and leaving the parties to go on half a year longer, making a sad matter worse, without me to trouble 'em. Darn such justice." Nothing like a good companion. SCENE IN A POLICE OFFICE. The prisoner in this case, whose name was Dicky Swivel, alias "stove pipe Pete," was placed at the bar, and questioned by tlie Judge to the following effect: Judge.?Bring the prisoner into court. Pete.?Here I am bound to blaze, as the spirits of Turpentine said when he was all a-fire. We will take a little of the fire out of you. How do you live ? I ain't particular, as the oy3ter was, when they asked him if he'd be roasted or fried. We don't want to hear what the oystet said, or the spirits of Turpentine either.? What do you follow? Aoythiug that comes in my way, a9 the locomotive said when he run over a little nigger. Don't care anything about the locomotive. What is your business ? That 's various, as the cat said when she stole the chicken off the table. That comes nearer to the line, I suppose. Altogether in my line as the rope said when it was choking the pirate. If I hear any more absurd comparisons, I will give you twelve months. I'm done, as the beefstake said to the cook. Now, sir, your punishment shall depend on the shortness aud correctness of your am swers. I suppose you live by going around the docks. No, sir, I can't go around docks without a boat, and I ain't got none. Answer me, sir. How do you get youi bread ? Sometimes at the baker's and sometimes ] eat taters. No more of your stupid nonsense. Hovt do you support yourself? Sometimes on my legs, and sometimes or a cheer, (chair.) How do you keep yourself alive ? By breathing air, sir. I order you to answer this question, correctly. How do you do ? Pretty well, I thank you Judge. IIow dc you do ? I shall have to commit you. Well, you've committed yourself first, that's some consolation. A witty correspondent sends us the following notice of a brief street colloquy recently held between a maiden lady of little beyond a certain age and a new married ferminine: "So you are going to keep house are you?" said the elderly maiden. "Yes," was the reply. "Going to have a girl, I suppose ?" was queried. The newly made wife colored, and then quietly responded that: "She really didn't know whether it would be a boy or a girl." jfcaf* In a shirl-store window, in New York the notice "Hands wanted on bosoms," was displayed This attracted the ..ttention of a wag, who coolly walked in and with an air of affected simplicity inquired of the lady in the store whose bosoms she wanted hands on ? "Jane," cried the lady, "bnug me the broom, and be quick !" 'Remember, sir," said a tavern-keeper to a gentleman who was about leaving his house without paying his bill, "remember, sir. that if you lose your purse, you didn't pull it out here." Select fPisccilaim. MAN OF MARK. Count Walewski, the French plenipotentiary at the Peace Conference, is about fifty years of age. The upper part of his face down to about half the nose is excessively spirtual; the lower portions not so much so. Though comparatively young in years, he is an old diplomatist- Twenty-five years ago, he represented in Paris and London the provisional government of Poland, then in insurrection against the Russians. In 1849 he accomplished a mission to Mehemet Ali, confided to him by 31. Theirs. Later, 31. Guizot despatched him to the province ol La Plata. He was also Minister Plenipotentiary of France to the Court of Tuscany, and in'the same year to that of Naples. In i 1852, he was appointed Ambassador to the j Court of St. .Tames. "The origin of Count Walewski," says the Delat?, "is most illusJ trious, and this is always an advantage in a I diplomatic assembly. He proceeds from a j branch of the Italian Colonna family, which i has given many cardinals and a Pope to the J church, besides many generals and diplomatists to the Courts of Rome, France and Spain." This may. in fact, be the Count's origin, legitimately speaking; but, as the whole world knows, and as his features I graphically attest, the Count is the son of the I great, Napoleon, and now acts as president of a Congress, one of whose duties will be to efface the record made forty years ago, by a similar assembly at Vienna, that no one ol the name and lineage have ever tried, and I ) shall only ask for it a careful trial, and il success docs not crown the efforts of the one ; trying it, he had better sell his land and emi| grate. A Rustic. ? ? ?? ?? An Ingenious Rocj e.? Perhaps for in i genuity, the following trick, played by a Rus : sinu in Moscow, could not be surpassed ir I Gotham. A respectable looking man fel : senseless in the street in an epileptic fit, vlier a person in the crowd started forward, am exclaimed, "Oh, my master ! my poor mas iter!" He now very coolly transferred tin ' contents of the unfortunate gentleman's pock j ets iuto his owu, not. forgetting his watch ! and then, with all the concern imaginable requested the persons near him, to watch hi poor master while he ran to procure an equip acre toeonvev him home. On beine observer i . . to pass a coach stand without stopping, thi cheat was detected; but he contrived toge ! clear off with his booty. ... H?>| A Soft Voice.?We agree with that oh ; poet, who said that a low, soft voice was ai excellent thing in a woman. Indeed we fee j inclined to go much further than he has 01 i the subject, and call it one of her crownin; J charms. No matter what other attraetioi i she may have; she may be as fair as the Tro jan Helen, and as learned as the famous Hy patia of ancient times, she may have all tin accomplishment considered requisite at tin present day, and every advantage that wealtl ! cau procure, and yet if she lack a low swee voice, she cau never be really fascinating. How often the spell of beauty is rudeb ; broken by coarse, loud talking! How oftei you are irresistibly drawn to a plain unassu ming woman, whoso soft silvery tones yende ' -jL her positively attractive! Besides we fancy we can judge of the character by the voice; the studied, fawning tone seems to us to betoken deceit and hypocrisy, as the musical subdued tones indicate genuine refinement. In the social circle, how pleasant it is to hear the sex talk in that low key which always characterizes the true lady ! In the sanctuary of home, how much a voice soothes the fretful child and cheers the weary husbaud. How sweetly its cadences float i through the sick chamber, and round the dying bed, with what solemn melody do they breathe a prayer for the departing soul ?? Ah yes! a low soft voice is certainly 'an excellent thing in a woman.' SCANDAL. The Devil has a wonderful penchant foi rebuking sin. Eyes which are full of beams, have an unaccountable clearness of vision in , detecting motes in other eyes. Some people are brought into the world to accomplish a marvelous mission, and that mission is tc ferret out obliquities in others. Of course it is not expected that these apostles have any business with themselves; their mission is violent, and does not admit of time tc , scrutinize their own position. What profits is it that they should pause to consider theii own peccadilloes, when the enormities ol their neighbors loom up like mountains? I So goes the world over. Everybody mind.? everybody's business, but everybody neglects > his own. What sort of a world would thii be, if we were without each other to feec . upon ? Men have eyes and ears for some purpose, and what else could they find foi them to do, if not to see and hear of eacl - ? ? i I?.*; x? ottier s iamngs, aereucuons, erryro, uu.ua , grcssions, enormities ? They have tongue! which must lie uselessly idle, if not employee t in giving currency to such delinquencies.? i So it is with man. The obliquities of hi? offended brother furnish the chief staple o: conversational interest. Human error is th< current coin of social intercourse, and to( often the coin comes from the mint of the ( speaker's brain. "How to go it."?Go it strong in youi praise of the absent. Some of it will be sure to get round. Go it strong when you make love to a pret ty widow, more people have erred by too little than too much in this particular. Go it strong when taking up contribution.' for a charitable purpose. It will pay. Go it strong when you make a public speech. Nine people out of ten never take any allusion unless it cuts like a short-han died whip or a rhinoceros cow-hide. Go it strong when you advertise.

Editors : Our community wasthrowr into a state of great excitement yesterday evening by the receipt of intelligence of t most bloody assault made by a party of met -? .1 ? i_i i i . p T : ! residing in tnc neignoornoou or uermgim or i a number of citizens who were passing fron Florence, Gn., to their homes in this county The facts concerning this horrible outrage as nearly as we have been able to ascertair them, are about these : For some years, Matthew Averett, sr., ha: been keeping a ferry at Florence, on th< Chatlahooche river, without a charter fron the State of Georgia. In 1853, A. W. Hill Esq., of Florence, Ga., applied for and ob tained a charier from Georgia, for a ferry a that place, and opened a road on his owr land on this side of the river, leading iut< the old Florence road, and stopped the roac leading from Averett's ferry on the Georgit , side, whereupon Averett erected a toll gat< across the Florence road on the Alabama side and demanded and collected the same toll a; he would have received at the ferry. The authority upon which Averett claim; the right to do this, is an order of the Com missioner's Court of Barbour County, Ala bama, granted to him in 1848, to erect a tol gate at the terminus of the Florence roac on the West side of the Chattahooche river, I and collect toll thereat, and forbids any per j son to interfere with said gate within on< ! half mile on either side up and down th< j river. lie has erected under this order 2 ! gate several hundred yards back from th< river, just at the point where Hill's road in tersects the old road. Many persons hav< paid a toll and many have refused to do so but have removed the obstruction and passed The matter has been*agitated for sometime and the citizens on both sides of the rive; have become very much excited, and hav< "i 4 r\ , ' repeatedly torn down tne gate, un yester day several of Averett's relatives and hi; ! overseer armed themselves with double bar ' rel guns and proceeded to the gate to guarc j it, and prevent persons from passing withoul ; paying toll. The names of said Iunderstanc I to be Win. Cliatt, Jno. McClendon, Win ! i McClendon, Jas. MeClendon, Wilson B , j Averett, E. 1). Averett, and ? Miles, th< ! overseer. Cpon their arrival they seereter I themselves behind a fence in the adjoining I field. Soon after they arrived there, Na : thaniel "Roach, with his little son five year - old, Robert Warlick, Samuel Triggers an< i ' a man named Sylccs, arrived at the gate an< 1 were about to pass through, when the mei i t fired on them from their place of conceal 1 j rnent. At the first fire Mr. Roach's littl 1 boy was wounded in the neck and bod}'? 2 i supposed to be mortally wounded. Syke - ; was also shot down, mortally wounded.? ; Roach, in endeavoring to save his child b; , ; holding his own back to them, received i s j great many shots, and is severely hurt. War - lick was wounded dangerously. Trigger 1 : was shot in the arm, but not dangerously.? c Triggers was the only man in the attaclcei t I parly armed, and iiis gun would not go oi ' until too late to do any good. I You can better imagine, thau we can de? 3 ' cribe, the excitement which prevails afte i | such a shocking outrage. The officer," witi 1 a pass, is in search of the offenders, and an i ticipates some trouble in arresting them.? i j All arc well armed, anc^fftmld they resist i more blood will be shcd^RThe conimunit i- will sec that the law is executed. The fact - above stated ye believe to be true, as the e have been gathered from the most reliabl e sources. If anything more happens I wil li 1 let you know. A Friend to Order. t' P. S. Glennville, June 3, 11 o'clock, a m. A letter has just been received by J I' | M. White, Esq., from Florence, Ga., statin; a ! that five more men on arriving at Hill's ferr got into the flat to cross the river. ?>ooi r after they had pushed out into the stream w' v s they were fired upon by some persons concealed in the bushes on the bank, and were severely wounded. We have not learned the names of the persons shot, or extent of their injuries. The persons shot were some geni tlemen from Georgia, who had volunteered to escort Mr. Koach, with his w'ottndcd child i home, and were attacked on their return. i Five o'clock, p. m.?Farther particulars have been received. There were eight men , on the flat when fired on; seven were woundi ed?one thought to be mortally. I most ' close, as the mail closes. I cannot say what will be the result. <*The end is not yet." Some of our young men, who went out with the officer, have not yet returned, and I hope will not until right, justice, peace and order are restored. ?n?> ? KANSAS. mi < 1 1 n .t . i me xeiegrapnic wire 01 tins morning gives startling news from the scene of excitement i in Kansas. Whatever be the truth there > can be no doubt that war is commenced, and ! that men and means are necessary to sup: port the cause of the South. When Ameri ican soil was invaded by the Mexicans, elev> en hundred of the sons of our Palmetto ) State volunteered to protect it, and anxious ly followed the gallant Butler to the battlcf field of American rights. Now, when Southern rights, and the existence of the instituJ tion which constitutes the framework of ) Southern society, civilization, and our very i existence as a people, are invaded, does it I not become them, with increased obligation, i to come forward and do service in the cause r which affects our very homes ? i We find in the Newberry Mirror of yes terday an article which suits the occasion, 3 and saves our writing out the same sentil ments as are there expressed. The suggestion is a good one for a conven3 tion?but if it is to be done, no time is to f be lost: 3 Kansas?Can Nothing farther be ) Done ??The news from Kansas is of a most i exciting character. It is Buch as to call for redoubled efforts to save the Territory from the grasp of the Abolitionist. The South r must send more men, or we fear those alrea5 dy sent will be driven out by the Abolitionists. The two parties are infuriated against each other, blood has been spilt, and a de cision by the sword seems inevitable. Mr. Wilkes, one of the Anderson Compa ' ny who went out a short time since, returned to get further aid. "We also see from our 5 Georgia exchanges that two of Buford's ! Company liave returned for the same pur pose. There is a necessity for action, immediate action. In the North strong efforts are making to flood the territory with Northern 3 emigrants. The movement must be met by the South or the Territory is gone. ? South Carolina has done a good deal, but not all that she can or ought to do. She can do ten times as much and not feel it. Let the people arouse themselves to the magni; tude of the crisis that is upon them. Heretofore each District has acted separately. Would not a Convention of all the Associations in the State be expedient?? i Would it not bring the attention of the people more thoroughly to the subject? Would it not be the means of exciting a combined effort in this great cause ? We call the attention of editors to this suggestion. If not this, some other plan must be adopted to keep the ball in motion. If Kansas is lost the South may surrender. It will give an impulse and audacity to abolition that nothing can arrest. Hence I it is a question of life and death to the South. Every district in South Carolina ought tc address itself at once to the matter, and subscribe at least an amount equal to the annual tax. Let Newberry lead and the rest will follow. Action. I MOM The War in Kansas.?If the new? from Kansas be correct?and we have no 1 reason now to doubt it?the long expected . war has at last broken out. The spirt ot 3 blood is up, and blood will flow plentifully , before tbis struggle between antagonistic ? civilizationsissettled. The cause of the Abo1 lition party in Kausas is warmly taken up in 3 the Nortb, and the fate of Lawrence awakes - a response in money and arms to vindicate - their threats and retrieve their cowardice.? 1 What shall we of the South?we of South I Carolina?do in the face of such news?? , In the language of Patrick Henry, "Our . brethren are already in the field," and they 3 ! must be sustained at any cost. With them 3 i we have a common destiny, and if they fall, i! our cause can but suffer. Should the late ? news be confirmed, we anticipate that the - people of Charleston will be ready to do their 3 whole duty in that matter. We anxiously , await it.? Charleston Meramj. A Snake Combat.?Combats between r the rattle and black snake are certain if they j meet, and the black snake is, with rare etf . ceptions, the conqueror. Upon seeing each 3 other, these animals instantly assume theii . ^spective attitudes of defiance and display 1 the great difference in their organization.? t The rattlesnake coils itself up, ready for at 1 tack or defence; the black snake being a constrictor, moves about from side to side, and is in constant activity?naturally exci 3 ting each other's passions. The rattlesnake | ! finally settles down into a glowing exhibitioc r of animosity, its fangs exposed, its rattles ir 1 constant agitation. The black snake seem s ingly conscious that the moment of strife has J come, now commences circling round its en \ | emv, absolutely movingsoswiftly thatitseems ? 'but a plcain of dull lifht: the rattlesnakt ii - o - - n- ' / .; attempts to follow the movement, but soor e ; becomes confused, and drops its bead in des _ I pair; then it. is that the black snake dart; s I upon the back of its deadly foe, seizes it be _ twoen its teeth, and springing upwards, en r i velopes the rattlesnake in its folds. Th< n ' struggle, though not long, is painful; th< | combatants roll over in the dust, and get cn s : tangled in the bushes; but every momen _ the black snake is tightening its hold, unti [1 ! the rattlesnake gasps for breath, become: ft helpless, and dies. For awhile the blacl snake still retains its grasp ; you can per _! eeive its muscles working with energy ; bu r finally it cautiously uncoils itself and quicth |, 1 betakes to the water, where recovering its en 1 ergy, it dashes about a moment as if in ex _ ultation, and disappears from the scene.

PROSPECTUS OF THK LEAVENWORTH JOURNAL. THE undersigned proposes to commence the publication of a weekly Newspaper in Leavenworth City, under the title of'the "Leavenworth Journal," about the first of June. 1st. IVe are induced to engage in this enterprise from a conviction, that another paper is required by the growing population of Kansas, and the public demand for full and reliable information in regard to its history, topography, climate, soil, resources, politics, present condition and future prospects. Such information we can more readily furnish here, since Leavenworth" City is the commercial intrcpot of the Territory?occupies a position of direct inter-communication with two thirds of its population, and is the focus of news. 2d. We believe that the institution of Black Slavery is a Moral, Political and Economical blessing?that it is right in principle and expedi1 ent in policy, and hence should be defended and extended. Tt is our purpose to maintain these propositions in our paper, and to do all in our power to make Kansas a Slave State. In the discussion of the slavery question, however, we will endeavor to maintain a conservative position to I present arguments and facts instead of denunciation and abuse. 3d. Although the "Leavenworth Journal," will 1 be devoted to politics in a great degree, yet it will pay due regard to the Good, the True and Beautiful. Tt will exhibit a faithful portraiture of the times in which we live, by presenting a correct account of the current events of the day?the progress of the Arts and sciences, of Education, Commerce, Agriculture and Internal Improvements. It will discuss all subjects with freedom and firmness; give all parties their dues, and fol1 low the light of truth. If our Weekly Journal meets with a cordial support we intond soon to publish a Tri-Weekly, and norhans a Daily. The editorial department of the "Journal" will be presided over by S. S. Goode, late of Kcntucy ky, and Warren D. Wilkes, late of South Carolina. We appeal to our friends to sustain us. Tkbms.?Weekly $2?Tri-Weekly $5. I GOODE, WILKES & CO. Leavenworth City, Kansas.

DAVIS. rllS work is to be printed on good paper, in plain type, well-bound in sheep, in foot volimes super-royal oetafo?each volume containing ix or seven hundred pages; and will be furnished o subscribers at TWO DOLLARS per volume, to ie paid to the Publisher's Agenton the delivery if the work. The publication will bis put to press is soon as fifteen hundred copies are taken. Prolosals have been printed, and placed-in the hands if Agents, who will proceed to canvftBs for the rork. Inasmuch as application for patronage will be node to the reading portion, of the community in his and the adjoining Districts, justice alike to.the interprise and to those who are asked to favor it,, lemands that some account be given of its characer. It is the work of a Divine of acknowledged^; ' nt and scholarship, of piety and success in,the Ministry; of one who devoted himself to the std? s ly of the Scriptures, and the preaching of the' 3ospel for upwards offorfy^years, withinasudn-?t ty so intense, as to preclude him almost entirely, rom the secular cares and purrnits, common t o nany in "the sacred office.- The voluminous prOr tactions of his pen that now lie in manuscript, be? rides his Lectures on the New Testament, Heet testimony to the Zealand industry with which he prosecuted his Theological researches. until , "l n a few years of his death. In the Lectures-. ivliich wo here recommend to the favorable regard ?f the public,"the reader is presented with .a bar? ' mony of the Four Gospels, a .clear and consistent . exposition of the Jeered Text; and a .large number of Critical Notes and observe tionson obscure ' and difficult passages, and on important points in' doctrinal Divinity. The .graild design of the author evidently is, to assist his reader to acquire ? . a sound and accurate understanding of the Mind of the Spirit, imparted in" the Sacred Oracles, whatever sacrifice of hiB own prepossessions, or the prejudices of others, it may h&ve cost him. The style of the work is purely didactic?site'pie and Inornate?seeking rather to instruct, than to please the taste. Much, however, will be found in the perusal of the Commentary, to delight the earnest student of the Scriptures; but that pleasure will result, chiefly, from the unexpected and wonderful manifestations which are tarnished,, of the perfect harmony of oil the parts in the grand scheme of salvation; their tadissolublecMmection, and their intimate dependency upon each other, from the eternal foundation, to the topmost stone in the imperishable edifice." The writer of this brief notice has given some portion of his time-to the study of the Bible, and to the perusalofjJommentaries^ond writings on Divinity, and heiScOtH strained to acknowledge, that he feels' ranch indebted, under God, to these Leotures, for the comfort and satisfaction with which he is enabled to read the New Testament Scriptures, especially the. Epistolary portions of them. Persuaded that others may be equally profited, he takes -pleasure in recommending the work to the favorabte-lrbtiee * of his fellow Christianseverywhete, and particular? ly to that of Ministers of the Gosnel, and Students in Divinity. While the plain and humble lover of the Bible will be furnished with a safe and familiar assistant to a correct knowledge of the pre jious part of Divine Revelation, on which those Lectures are written, and will find himself instructed, encouraged, and comforted in Christ, the Public Teacher of religious Truth will find in these volumes a treasure, from which he may draw largely, to the increase of his own spiritual wealth, lira edification of the Church, apd the. salvation of 9 THE WASHIN6T0N SPECTATOR, The spectator is printed in the Quarto form, on a double royal ?heet of snperior paper; and Is devoted to Mles^ttre^ and scientific and* miscellaneous" intelligence. The aim of the publisher is to make it a welcome visitor to ever household, where sound knowledge, and correct moral sentiment can be appreciated.*? With this -view he eschews all thd senseless twiddle, under the name of literature; which serves ly to beguile idle.momenta,- and strives to confine the matter of the SPECTATOR, to that which will leave useful impressions on the.ininds of its readers. Besides a large weeklysf&biml rof'matter Appropriate to papers purely literary-the SPECTAtor contains summaries of government doings in Congress and the Executive Departmental the important news of the day, foreign and domestic; reviews of finance and markets: notices of new books, new discoveries in art 'and soience; new inventions, including a weekly list of patents 1bsued from the Patent Office; articles on education; on agriculture, business and dojpestio economy; and candid essays upon the leading topics of the day. Though entertaining for themselves decided views on questions of political'eoOnomy and relig-. ions belief, the editors do not purpose to give to the paper a partizan or a sectarian' character.?^ ' The discussion of these subjects they leave ^papers established for such purpose. At the sanetime they reserve to thejnselve the right to expose hypocrisy, and to oppose bigotry and fanaticism in all forms; and. of offering, when they deem occasion to require it, their opiiilons and reasons therefor on seperate questions involving the interests and vested rights of tho people among whom we are located, without thereby subjecting themselves to a charge of vitiating any pledge. One of the editors (Mr. Hayne,) will remain-for the present, and probable spend most of his. time, at his residence in Charleston S. C., an"art*n? ment we think, better enabling bin- to furnish matter of local interest to that section of the Union, and affording some convenience to our friends and those whom we hope to have for patrons, in that vicinity.

For Twenty-one years the Messenger has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional views, and bos been alone among the monthly periodicals of America in defence of the peculiar Institutions of the Southern States. To this- office it will still be devoted, and will be promptto repel assaults upon the South, whether they come under the specious garb of fiction, or in the direct form of anti-slavery pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while our enemies are employing literature as their most potent weapohs of attack, the Southern people will surely ityt withhold their encouragement from a work whose aim it'sball he to strike blows in their defence; The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems, Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and other National Subjects.
