Death of M^r. Joseph Whitmire.
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. Mr. Wbitmirb
had gone there to be treated, by a practioner 1
reputed, skilled in ruch cases, for a chronic
which was got oesidscsh immediately
uangerous. n is supposed However, tbat,
from r6tt.e cause there" was a sadden determination
of the dimu* opon tbo brain, whloh <
harried its fetal and. 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! Greenville, of the

were broaght to Greenville for interment.?

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. Ciiablkh lai
A. l'insixs, has shown as cotton blossoms, n>
which he gathered from his field four miles below
Greenville, on the 30th June. This is ' '
enrly for Creenvilie. of
Fourth of Jaly tn Greenville.
Very quiet was the day. Our coloped citiicns
only had a gathering and pay pic?nlc, Wl
the proceeds to be given in aid of the eolored |

politics mixed with tho celebration, every j

The liberal percentage offered by

lo the ladies to undertake the work of

generous, unselfish and noble women ,
who represent cbaiilable institutions
and desire to rahe funds for their sup- 1

Appeal from such a quarter and for !

W? had the pUuart, op ltrt Wednesday
evening, of.listening to ? moat iotereating
lecture, dtliiwtd in the Method 1*1 Church,
on the Mountains of WrtWrti North Carotlon
by Prof. W*. O. Bow*ja, of tho Ashe*
vllle Female College. The Leetnrer la a
native of Yaneey County, N. C., and Is intimately
acquainted with the whole mountain
region of that State. lie waa one ol
the party of gentlemen, who, in 1811, diecovered
the body of Prof. Mrrcnat, of Chap*
ol Hill University, who, it will be remembered,
lost his life on the Bleek Mountain
by felling over a preeipiee while engaged
iD measuring the altitnde of one of the
peaks of the mountain. Prof. Bowman and
his party succeeded, after great toil, in getting
Prof. Mitchkl's body to lh? top of the
peek, which now beers his name, and
where bis remains now lie, end whieb bis
real and industry established to be the
highest point of land in North America east]
of the Rooky Mountains, being several foot
higher than the celebrated Mount Wiihlij*
ton fn New Hampshire.
We are happy to inform the public that
Prof. Bowman haa consented to deliver his
ateresting lecture, in the Court House, be'ore
the Greenville Literary Club, eo that
.be citizens generally may enjoy the pleas
ire of listening to an instructive and enter*
aining discourse. Hie pufelio will bo apprised

The order for travelling waa to be abort
trip which the country would afford.
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.
The following day we reached Tendleton,
and were kindly invited to atop with our
old friend, J. D. Smith, who is a leading
merchant, and enjoys a good position in the
estimation of the community. Here we

Dahlonega has aeen better days, but now
ere seems a brighter era dawning upon t
ir. It is highly probable that the North d
eorgia Agricultural College will go into s
leratioo here early in next year. Mr. a
ice procured the passage of a bill through P

Air-Line Railroad. The corporation ot
Pendleton were making a private survey
across Anderson County, which they intend
submitting to the engineer corps as a bid
for the location by their town.
Our next point of destination was Walhalls.
Here we met in our host, - The
first Dutch Senator from Oconee County,"
who is considerate of the wants of his
guests as well as the necessities of his mono
tain colony. Leaving Wnlhalla in the
morning, rje reached Jarretl's Bridge for
lunch. Here we were honored by a short
call from Dr. Doyle, representative from
Oconee, who livee near the bridge, and has
t large and valuable farm. After luncb,
we drove by Tocos Fells, of historic fsme,
both in prose and verse. The fall of water,
180 feet perpendicular, is a grand feature
in nature, and will pay the aightsser well
ror traveling over many miles of rough
'oads. \t hilst at the Falls, a storm of rain
isme on which gave us a faint idea of what
ttorms and waier-cpouts are in this moon,
tain country. After much hurry and some
uiolisps, we reached lite summit of the
miuutain, and wore entertained for the
tight ly a clever Baptist Minister. The
rriglit sunshine of a quiet Sabbath greeted
is, and being only seven miles from the
own of Claikaville. we decided to on <'>? ?

o Attend Churcli, but found, on enquiry at
he hotel, there was only Sunday School.?
Ve being accustomed to Sunday Bchools at
lome, went and spent an hour in this da
nrtmeot of '.he Church very pleasantly.?
llarksville is an old Town, and somewhat
ilapidated. In former years it was quite
summer resort?being 13 miles from Tona
and ten miles from Tulluli Palls. This
t the county site of Habersham, and like
11 the mountain districts, bea witnessed
nany rough and amusing incidents of the
icople. We introduce one: Some years
go, an enterprising firm, desiring to extend
lioir trade,,ordered a lot of Pr. Jane's al*
tenses, on which waa conspicuously print*
d, , Wholesale and Retail

In progress of our journey, wc passed up
lie Naeooohe Valley. This valley is about
ight miles In length, and is owned princi*
ally by Geo. W. Williams. It is io a fine
ate of cultivation, and we understand Mr.
f. contemplates spending half a million '
ollars more in further improvements. We
'ere shown the mounds on whieh it is said
le Merchant Prince carried water from the
haitshooehte river to water his corn durig
a drought. Wa passed through CIeve<

and I do not write this note with a view to
reinstate myself in the office ; neither does
it make any change in my feelings towards |

.1 $o not ?sy. it bpastingly, for I did

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. The only
objection, as I understand, urgsd against

J. P. Moore.
But I must thiok that my removal ia
based upon some personal matter or priooi

will not bend to every whim and notion
that may perchance float in the breeze.?- I
Troth and juatioe to both God and man, is <

charge it to the will of his Excellency, or
any of the officials at Colombia; but to
some pretended friend, oear at borne.
