These views, if correct, arc still farther strengthened by the buildiim of the ark.

The word "</o- I /<//?/ ," mean* "pitch," "pine," and it, is probable that tho gopher wood is of the long-leaf pine. 1 need not i sa* that either of the ('arolinas eou!d have furnished the materials in abun- j dance. That the ark was built somewhat inland for convenience of timber, is probable. Vol not very far, as the I principle weight of it> car00 was to be graminivorous stock, and largo 1 (Quantities of dried herbage, both of which was to come from meadow lands. The breaking up of the deep, tkc., at the time of the delude, would not imply necessarily any very threat change in the conformation of the continents, nor in the sea currents. We must also remember that the Lord at the creation had in \iew the possibility of the llood, as well as of the "fall," and arranged accordingly. When the ark was lifted up, and as it \4 so grandly said, "went upon the face of the waters,"' it started due Last if it started from near Charleston. It would presently strike the gulf stream. Floating on that sea current it would take a Northerly direction until it reached the Kith parallel, and then would 00 duo I n Fast, and, as many a -helpless *raft since, would come within sight of Spain and Africa. lint those coasts heinif submerged. there would be nothing to deflect the current, but it would pass over plateaus of Spain, into the Med'terranean, across the lower part of (Jreeee, then over the plains of Asia Minor, and, still holding the same parallel, strike Mount. -Ararat. The distance from Charleston to Arar t is 181 depress of lati(tide, say 8,<>I <> miles. The time tho ark was on tho water was one hunidred and liftv davs, or ?,!>()<) hours. Off Cape llatteras the gulf stream has a velocity of two miles an hour; .1 . . t ... mis would leave vory HtMo (o be' overcome, if anything, when we allow for the uninterrupted flow which the current then had. It is not likely that animals would he landed in unv other than the latitude to which thoy were accustomed.

At another of the most fashionable theaters, a famous actress ni<ditly leads ir. a play which cannot here be described in outline on account of its yileness. At a third theatre in this city, and one of the oldest and most renowned, tin* present play is thus described in tin* W'orh/: *'lt may as well be said a' once, it is not a tp-eat nr even a cooil play. It deals with the attempt of a wife to poison law husband because she loves anoth r man, and her method is to administer poison in the ouise of medicine. She is trapped by an old doctor, and, when discovered in her scheme, she drinks the poison Ici'self and ends her career. This malign purpose is worked out with little attempt, a' !- ispense or eri-is. She is jealous of her husband's half-sister, who is to receive Ills fortune, and b> prevent her from obtaining her rifdits am' to secure the man she loves, who happens to love the half-sister, poison 's resorted to. That such a motive should be treated in a comedy vein is characteristic of oar time. A' au\ other period it would have received laelo-iliamatie attention.

A Very Sim loin. The dispatches to the press from Nashville, Tenn., said that on a recent Sahhatli tlie pastor of the .MoKendree < 'luirrh, in his discourse, spoke in stromr terms against the I n n theater and ('hureh-members attending. .Miss Kmma Abbott, who was present, arose and declared that she had been on the staire for a number of years, mill a member of tlio <'luircli, and was jv Christian. The audience cheered her. So much the worse fori Miss Abbott if the idea was to prove that the theater is ri^ht. Daniel was in the lion's den, but that did not prove it a proper or a o-ood place for him. I.ot dwelt in Sodom, lint that does not prove that Sodom was a oood place for hot. Miss Abbott Iimm been in the theater for a nuinbt r of years, and it may* be a verv Sodom for all that. If she is a Christian she would better torsake it,- St. /.ouis O/fsci'i'c)'. No IV! low sli i p Detween Them. When t!n? actress, Miss Kmma Abbott, arose in church at Nashville, at the close of of Mr. Candler's sermon ao'iinst 1 heaters, and denounced it, she did a verv foolish thinjr; and when, in defense of her profession, she named three or four actresses of <o>od character, she made a verv weak argument. A nrofession in which thousands of women are eonstantlv employed, and which can support a claim to respectubilitv only by pointing to a woman here and there who maintains a pure reputation, must be snnk verv low in its own estimation. If Miss Abbott is a church-ipemher, and a reputable one, as she claims to be, she must feid verv lonesome in the company which she keeps, and it is |>rotmi>iv tins tooling which made her so jsoiisiitiVi* that she could not sit still in church and Irear a preacher speaking plain words about the theater. If the Church to which she belongs had done its duty by her she would either have been saved from the lonesome position which she now occupies, or the Church would have been saved from having on its roll a noted actress. Between the true Church and the theater there never has been and there never can be any fellowship. From the second century until this day, the two have been at war with each other.

The ( i un i'<J in n oives this account of the bloody alVair: Pistols were drawn, razors llonrished and the slnnehter beiran. The pistols cracked rapidly, the razors made luioe gashes, pilie poles were used :is clubs and blood (lowed in streams. The firing and shouts could bo hoard for miles and il seem* ed in the distance as if a battle was rajrintr. When the pistols had boon exhausted of ammunition and the thirst for blood had been satiated, a sieUeuino sioht presented itself. Jacob J acUson was ivino dead on the oround with a p'stol ball in his brain. John Brown, alias Johnson, was tnoanino- with a terrible wound in hit abdomen (since reported dead.) Joe Butler, Howard Martin and John Martin, who are probably fatally wounded, won* carried to their hone's. One ('larky was fearfully beaten, and t wo'iinknown neoroos from ( ieor-1 l oiji wore seriously hurt. It is impossible to eel the names of all the noeroes eneiierd in the bloody afn r* J fray, as some of litem have tied, ami there are doubtless others wounded who are conceal ino* themselves. Jacob Jackson was buried at Good Will Church on Monday. Hundreds of neoroes attended bis funeral, lie was a desperate character.
