We th do verily believe that no groatorevil could befall our rQ country, than to have fastened upon us another Na- ^ tional Bank. We believe that the chartering of such an institution would be a gross and flagrant violation 101 of the constitution, and totally at war with our free 17 institutions. 5 ,g Extra Session.?There does not now seem to be f ni any doubt but we shall have an oxtra session of Con-1 ha grese in May, or at farthest, in June next. In such an event, we anticipate with fear for its results, the do re-kindling of the firos of party, before sufficient YV" repose has been had after the exciting scenes through hij which the country has passed within the last nine |)U months. Unless greater moderation is carried into the coun- do cils of the oxtra session, than we have any good rea- [], son to hope for, we may expect moro bitter, and more uncompromising divisions of parties than this country . has witnessed for years. Thore is nothing in the 8 condition of the country to require the calling of an a ( extra session, and no other reason can be offered for each a measure than to gratify partizan feeling. Under such circumstances we may anticipate that its deliberation, if they may be entitled to that distinction, ^ol will bo more exciting than any session which has at T>: been witnessed for years, and Heaven knows our 11 country has been sufficiently disgraced, by the undignified character which our national legislature has exhibited for years past. JCf- Since the latt suspension of specie payments by the Bank of the United States, its stock has been sold as low as twenty.five dollars per share, T1 a point of depression far beyond which, those who g11 had the least confidence in it, ever supposed it would 01) reach. The price had, however, rallied aftorwards, and sales had been made at twenty six and a half pa dollars. ye ' la: In Congress, there does not seom to be any thing H doing.

KERSHAW TROOP. p\ On Saturday last this corps paraded our lw streets well equipped, with its ranks fuller u'; . than on its last muster. After drill, ai d ^ before partaking of an excellent barbecue, they went jinto an election of a first and d-,, second Lieutenant, which resulted in the tri. unanimous and judicious choice of James ? ' . . Chesnut, Jr. first, and William Dixon . # . v. OQ second Lieutenants.?Thus have the pri- ' rates backed their zealous Captain* Thom- da as Ancrum, with enterprising and .excel- 1 lent aid in sustaining the character of the Troop. tio This company originated warm from the revolutionary struggle, and has sustained jj( its character through a long period, and is In nC s?nntinneVl snnnort of the He active and chivalric young men of the District. The efficiency of this species of foree has never been questioned. It is too o ) apparent to need comment. But what c., . will greatly add to its usefulness is, the cui determination to drill as mounted Infan- ?f try. This proposition of its officers, so cordially received, and unanimously ad<>p- ^ ted, will add much to recommend them to 8is1 the favourable consideration of their fel- the low citizens. They appear determined to wh prepare themselves to be'a shield and buck- ^ ler' wheD their services are required. This of determination of drilling our cavalry as gui infantry, will be giving great strength He to this arm of our defence This is a propitious period to put the citizen soldier iu the most effective training, to meet every emergency that may Go arise. There are specks in the political Mi - horizon that warn us to be prepared. "th The patriotism of our young men will , not suffer this brave and hardy body of y0l " - -i - . . men to disperse lor me want 01 ttieir co- mi operation. Rally then, around ita excel- ^or' lent and eulerprising officers, and deter mine, it shall retain its pristine strength, as tj,e left by their fathers?and that the sacreu cause that gave it origin shall not be for- wb gotten, nor the Kershaw Troop need strong shj arms or resolute hearts to sustain it?and lht let me invoke, in the name of patriotism a { and our country, a kind feeling among the to different corps, and let no other contention fut exist, than a noble emulation of who best can discbarge the duties of a soldier.? ^ Then can It be said that Kershaw District ?j with its embodied Cavalry as mounted In- tto # " > " .

C., on turday the 16lh ultimo, Rev. John Ccjlfeper, n., in the 76th yoar of his age. Mr. C. was born Gould's Fork of Brown Creek, Anson CvUnty, N. , on the 10th of April, 1765. Such wfere the cirmstances of his father, (Sampsdn Culpeper,) and the times, that he received, (during his minority,) ly three months schooling. In the sixteenth year his age he emigrated with his father to Kentuckj', rying their little property with them, which conted of horses and cattle. Being much exposca to i depredations of tho Indians, and having lost the lole of their stock by drowning, they rdtiimed to C., having resided in Kentucky but a year or two. me months nflerwards they removed to the Slate j Georgia, where the subject of this notice distin- | ished himself by his bravery in the Indian wars, j re, also, he became acquainted with that eminent j vant of the Lord Jesus, Silas Morcer. Under the t laching of Mr. Morcer, the Lord was pleased to e him, first, a humiliating view of his guilt, and Brwards a joyful assurance of his acceptance with id. By the advice, and under the watch card of M-, ho began immediately to point sinners to le Lamb of God. which takoth away the sin of i world." Sympathy for the associates of his childhood and nth began shortly to operate upon hint so power. Iy, as to destroy his sleep by night; bo was, thereb, compelled to hasten back to North Carolina, irwhelmed with "great heaviness, and continual row of heart." The Lord seems to have prepared i hearts of the peoplo for the reception of his mesre; for, from the beginning, as he went every tero preaching the Word, the enquiry, "what ill we do to be saved," became general amongst i people, and hundreds were added to the Lord. In the spring of 1839, be was severely injured by all from his home, after which his health soeined d 'cline. Some months afterwards he was still .-L- 1? u ttior disaDiou by a paraiyuc ?uti?c, ho, .ivr.Dia| II continued to preach till the fourth Sabbath of jverabor last. Sometime in October, hia appetite gan to fail; his strength, ulso, rapidly declined.? ?rly in December, he consented to be removed to 9 residence of hia eon, in S. C., which he bad no' * * ? * ' ^ v * *r >".r<^ - -;.* ;.;* : - -' hesitatingly refused to do, so long as he was able to occupy his field of labor. His removal had no other good effect upon his health, than to impart a greater degree of cheerfulness, for his digestive powers seemed to be entirely paralysed, and he still continued to 8iok?the nineteen last days of his life, ho took no nourishment at all. For two days before his death, he was unable to speak?during the samo period he breathed very hard; but, a while before his death, ho became calm, and thus quietly "fell asleep." No man ever met death with stronger faith, or with a more suitable spirit of resignation, than he did. He spoke with rapture of the merits of Jesus Christ as constituting the only ground of his acceptance with God. Upon certain acts of his past life, however, ho looked back with great delight. From them all he singled out the part ho had borne in tho forma, tion of the American and Foreign Bible Society. Said he to his son, " if you should go on to B ;lti. more in the spring,( to attend the Anniversaries,) tell the members of the Binlc Society, that in death, it cheers me to look buck to the formation of their Society -I believe it well exercise a mighty influence upon the destinies of men in all coming ages."
