QrcenvilU ha* lost a worth; and ratable oits ixen, by the death of Mr. Joseph Whithibb, which ocourred on the 2Stb June last at Charlotte, North Carolina.

The mews of bU death wu a great ihook tq hit family and friends and this wholo community, lie was justly esteemed by all for bis honesty of character, frank social disposition, kindness of heart, accommodating manner, and oorreet dealing with his follow men. lie was widely kaown i as one of the morchants o!

James C, Furmak, in the Baptist Cburcb, before a large and sympathix- 1 ing congregation who followed tho body to its burial. Tho Humiliation of IPranoo?National Retribution. Every diligent reader of the sacred Scriptures is prepared to believe that national sins are followed sooner or later by national punishment. Wo suppose too, that it was in reference to this truth, that the adago has been adopted by the civiled world, which expresses * this belief, " the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind very small." A few days sinoe, wo wero surprised at seeing tho fact stated that King William, of Prussia, is a lineal do. seendant of Admiral Dk Coligxv, who was one of the victims of that horrible national ^ crimo, tho St. Bartholomew's massacre, in- ( spired by Roman Catholic devotees In the ( reign of Loi'is tho fourteenth, which has sc. ^ coroplishod so much in its results to the injury of the christain religion in Prance, and the development of that infidolity which has for so long a tiino characterised her educated and influential men. Is it not a thing to be noted aiyl jumdered, that aprotC3tant king, dcscendcatholic monarch, and priest, thrco centuries past, should be the instrument of overturning tho French power, despoiling her territory, overthrowing and consequently causing the dethronement of another catholic monarch, Lous Natolkox, tho protector oi the Pope, and proclaimed friend of his priest and his religion ? Nor did tho victorious army of tUis son of Colioxt, cease tholp blows till Paris, the scat of tho pomp and pride, and power of catholic France was besieged and captured.? And then tho masses of tho pcoplo of tho ilroivncil oil v. liko -Towa '1 J , > - - *" a >"? of Titus warred ujion each other. The prieat and special devotees of the popaey fell under tho power Of Infidels, more cruel, and less magnanimous than tho bcalbcna Romans, vrhen Jerusalem was destroyed. The fate of Paris is nearer like that of ancient Jerusalem in tho destruction of life and properly, and human suffering than any other great eity of modern limes. The commune warred upon royalty and all its monuments as well as upon tho priests of tho Romish fulth, and they in turn fell victims to the strife that tho con* (jucst of William gavo them tho opportunity of beginning. i Such are tho facts now become history. St. | Bartholomew's massacre, and other persecutions of Christianity by " Catholio France has been dreadfully avenged" in tho first Rcvolu- I tion in this last war, aud its Commune vio lence. Our political philosophers will cry out j that France wants moro religion nnd education for her future welfare and security, but ' they will not indicate the sort of religion need- ' ful. Is it the religion that silences at this < day, such men as IIyacimtiik and Dollinger, i from teaching the people, and turns them over to priests to teach them, that a man when made rope, is their " infallihlo" guide in all religious things? Is tho religion that inaugu- ' rated massacres and pc.-sccutions for opinions 1 sake, and taught Franco that fierce intolerance . of spirit, which puts to death non-conformist in politics, as the priest did in religion?? France does need moro religion and education among her musses, hut it should be the reli- ' gion of lore as taught in tho New Testament; and not a religion that enthrones an earthly despot and his priest, over tho consciences of j men who would sacrifice tho peaco of the world, nnd incito wars among tho nations f again "to keep lils State in R"ine." We I think the tiruo is fully come, when political (J writers should exercise tho right of assailing | ^ any features of religious systems, that leads to 11 the destruction of peace aud civil liberty among 6 men, and teaches intolerance, proscription and t< persecution directly or indirectly. If the French y philosophers had confined themselves to thi?, j sad in their disgust at Topery had Dot repudiated all religion, it would hove been well for 11 Franco, and better for mankind. Religious { , liberty is a sacred cause, and tho prevalence' and influcnco of chritinnity over tho nations cannot, in the naturo of things, bavo their just 0 and glorious triumphs till the political pbilos- c< r phors, statesmen and law givers of the earth tl rccognizo its divino title to the support of all p( men. The great author of Christianity, cstab- ^ ii.tbed no Hierarchy or Temple, to ho located at Jerusalem, or on tho mountain of the Samaritans, and much less at Rome, or in the aj centre or eapitol of any nation, but taught rt that Clod was n spirit, and those who worship liim, should worship him in spirit, and in truth. But most men eling to the formulas or systems and dogmas, that originated in a <|( contrary doctrine, and many of which, sprung n( up in tho fanaticism and superstition of the . dark ages, and have been for centuries, yokes upon tho consciences of men, blinding often tlie educated and refined, as well an the ignor- of nnt masses. ' " Glorious Summer." 8U Tho season tbia summer baa been so far all ; that could be asked by tho farmers of the up j (O per part of tbia State. Crops generally look : |ai promising. A continuation of showers for a J . short timo longer will make tho forward corn' > and give suoh growth to tho cotton plant that; a good yield may bo expected. Copt.

We dined with onr ftiend, William Gar lison, on Georg.'a Creek, who ia a thriving yon^g farmer, and livea in a populous neighborhood, which may be accounted for in the fact that it Is one of the best farming sections of tha country in the upper conns ties. We stopped at night with R. C. GiN lam, who lias a fine farm, wall alocked. In his Tery pleasant and hospitable family we had a delightful sojourn.

No better friend than myself has he in Greenvilla.. .1 $o not ?sy. it bpastingly, for I did white man in Greenville that took the stomp in advoeaey of the claims of Gov. R. K. Scott. I stood between bira and bullets, and defended his administration with firmness and boldness, and coo tested every ineh of gronnd, and that in the face of my bitterest enemjs, politically and socially. I have been ostracised and abused on the account of the course I have taken, in the defence of Republicanism. Incompetency la no exeute, for I can bring forward abasdant avidcncc to the contrary. I have been Tax Collector for this County for four years, prior to the present appointment! and gave general satisfaction. This tha people will all testify. In my present efficisl duties, I have, sa God is my judge, triad to do justice to both people and State.
