THE HEW BAPTIST CUURl'H.
Sunday last was the day fixed for the dedication
of the New Baptist Church. The day proved very mcni
inclement, and much disappointment wm felt. Not- pleas
withstanding this, however, a large congregation? ^
almost equal to the capacity of the now edifice- assembled
within its walls, and in a forcible sermon Mrs!
by Rev. Thomas Curtis, D. D., the new house of Mrs.
worship was dedicated to the Lord. Messrs. Furman ^'rHaud
Landtutn assisted.
During the latter part of the dny the rain was Mh!
so heavy as to render intermission of services in- Mrs.
dispensable. A protracted meeting is still being
held in the church.

literature. Unlike our monthlies, it possesM-s no in

cap-andum adjuncts with which many of them are
so cxteusivcly popul.-irix4.-d. The literature, like mnp|
pure coin, is heavy, sober, chaste. Its images are jouri

of five dollars it should diffuse itself, by its own belli
moths, into every nook and corner of Southern agaii
society. A Southern literature is a desideratum all ing ii
acknowledge. Our position?social, political, and figur

North for every supply of intellectual food is to irnport
poison and Northern fallacies in morals, poll- ol|g

REPUBLICAN IDEA OF DISSOLUTION.
te North affwcU to believe that the Union can>c
dissolved by tl?o machination* of the Illack
iblicans, and to some extent this idea has boon
urnged hy mistaken declaration* of Southern
r*. Mr. Melton, of the Yoi kville Enquirer
net this view ut Washington, where he is now
visit, und alludes to it in hi* correspondence
to be regretted that any editor, for any pur
, whether of policy or patriotism, should giv?
racy at this time to facta or inferences euleula
o iuvitc aggression upon the institutions of tin
try, and imperil still further a government id"
on the verge of disruption,
r. Melton say*:
'or this unfortuna'e mistake into which tin
hern people have fallen, we arc at home, I fear,
It to blame. The Republican papers at tin
h endeavor, of course, to nourish litis belief?
success depends upon it; and as an nrguinent
h I have not even had the courage to fry te
'or, they quote the candid admissions ol Southtapers
of high position?Stuth Carolina pnp< ri

tot her this sentiment; but when the great isn
at hand, it will make itself felt and will tri'?!"
I know the gentlemen who conduct these
ial?, and I cannot for a moment doubt their
res. This, however, bat places me the more
ilctely at a loss how to account fur their utie?eal
declarations. Sup|x?c them true?a supion
not to be indulged, escept for the sake ol
mcnt?and it is certainly the m st palpable vioi
ol the most common sense view of good polipsbhsli
them to the world. Let me t< II them,
candor, that by such a course they are stabour
cause to the very d?ath?funning the flame
iHticism at the North, and chock-muting every

i. This is earnest, candid truth, ami ns I know
peak advisedly, 1 hope it will be so regarded."

ood results of th s first experiment, of neoaven- port
ion of tho Instructors of the Deaf and Dumb in j||tr(
io United Stales, the members of thia convention (t_
ave much cause fur mutual congratulation, and
ouch encouragement for the future; and that it is
esirable that a convention of this body should take men
law one year hence, at some convenient time ami
lace, to l>e designated by the general committee." ^
Thia committee wna composed ot the principal* (
f the diflferent institutions then organized, who
j conference agreed to meet at the American In- ^ ^
litution, at Hartford, on the 27th August, 1851. ^ ^
It this convention the following papers were read,
nd the various subjects proposed discussed: "1.
"ouisc of liihtruction for the Deaf uud Dumb." ^ ^

on certain varieties of the Language of ^
ligns as used in the iustruction of the Deuf and
Jumb." 4. "High Schools for tho Deaf and
)nmb." 5. "Sketch of the life of Huron de Geaudo."

Hut owing to the druth of tho principal of the Inititulion
at that place, the meeting was informal,
md by re-appointment met on the 10th of August, l"R'
1853. Subjects equally important were brought ^
>cfore the convention, discussed, and the proceed- ^
ngs published. Staunton, Virginia, was selected
or the next meeting, to take place in 1855. But "

The unparalleled audacity and trc.vsomv
' ! hie designs of the Black Republican parly
' . are now laid before the country in the atnrtin'
ling intelligence from Kansas, in the iuvaf1,1
' sion of that Territory by that cowardly
ll", outcast, Jim Lane, who, with a gang of
cr* scapegnllows, collected in the towns of Ilii^"t
nois by the aid of the money subscriber! in'
tiiis city and State, is devastating that
country, attacking weak and defenceless
villages, overpowering small parties of
Southern men, composed chiefly of women
and children, and even disarming the Ui???"
ted States troops. There may lie contra
h#- dictions and variances in the detail*; there
are doubtless charges and counter charges
of of individual outrages on both sides, but
ri' j the main fact cannot be and is not disputed,
n, | that this ruffian. Lane, has marched into
nt the Territory in hostile array, with an orernir
whelming force, and, taking care never to
attack any party stronger than a tithe of his
it, ow " 01 any settlement in which the women
?,i and children do not exceed the men. has
burnt villages,slain cilixens, rescued prison*
* crs from the hands of the legal officers of
nr the United States, and disarmed the troops of
,n_ 1 the Federal Government. This has been
done at the instigation of the Black Repub?r
lican politicians in Washington and elsewhere
in the East, as in this State. It was
^' for this object large sums of money Were
cl collected in the Northern cities, and, in view
>m of this slate of affairs, the House of Kepre'< -
sentntires refused to vote the oshal appto
priations for llio support of the army RniT
nt navy. The army having been employed to
w, maintain peace and order in Kansas, these
ft lends and advocates of civil war and bloodok
shed w ere determined that it should be brood"
ken up, and that the Territory of Kansas
should be made the theatre of a great bat*
lie between the North and South.

ror ?have the peace and dignity of this Union

parties are those traitois and conspirators,

atrocities! They are the chiefs and leaders
