As soon as the line was formed and lurm-d over to Maj. McDowell, the booming ol the cannon was tho signal for the advance of Col. Vandike and stall to the review. The ahnrp scrutiny of tho new colonel, as lie rode along at n seeing pace, was prod that inertly to play soldier wos not his pur|>ose.

They were highly creditable, and met with signal praise from the reviewing officers. Col. Farrow, in the name of the colonel, thanked the battalion for their honor able discharge of duly. It is loo often the case that officers, as soon as out of commission, lose interest in military matters. We were glad to notice, on this occasion, two eiccp tions to the rule, though others may linve escaped our attention. The late colonel of the regiment, 8. M.

Editors: Few things ere mere to be deprecated than the wild fanaticism produced in the popnlur mind by the willy utterancee of misguided interpreters of the proplieeiee respecting the end ?l the world. Almost every age, for thousands ol years, litis had its wiseacres of that stamp and its crop i-f Bedlamites, driven to madness by those "blind guides." But probably no ago has witnessed nny permanent good that has resulted from all those mnnglings of the prophetic writings,or those determined attempts to brng old Father Time to a prematura end. All reason would, therefore, demand tliut the present generation should be delivered from such calamities?that men should rather be guided to the practical duties of life, and encouraged to the improvement of tho world, rather than tho early digging of its gravoi Ftom ?he Millerite mania the world has but fairly recovered?the crowning nb surdity of the a je\ but its thousands of lunatics stood yet?those that the grove hot not covered?us sad monuments of ihnt fearlul delusion. Now, it seems we tire to have similar enactments under other lenders?Dr. Cumming and "thegrest and inspired (!!) Lnrenao Dow." Messrs Editors, it has been my duty, years ago, To give this whole subject quite a rigid investigation; and I have no hesitation in saying, that while I entertain the highest regard for Dr. Cumming, ns an eloquent and fusoinnting writer?also a most edifying expounder of practical and doctrinal ."Vripture? I have no confidcnoo whatever in him as an interpreter of the prophecies tohich respect the millen nium and the end of the world. A common newspaper article would not admit of a full exporitioii of the errors into which he lias fallen. Inasmuch, however, im the popular mind is Incoming excited by the numerous articles which the press lias recently published under the sanction of the Doctor's grent n uno, I deem it proper to state?and I would stake anything earthly upon the correctness of the remark? that, without the most violent wresting ol numerous portions of Scripture, the end of the world, or the coming of the period when there shall he "lime no longer," cannot be predicated of any |?eriod short of at least one thousand years from the present date. That "great changes will take place" in the moral world, and in smno rt ?(>eet* also in the physical, and thr.t speedily, I feel well nssured; hut "the end is not yet." Believers in the sacred Scriptures must also depart widely from those infallible gui !en, before they can admit the supposition that when the end does come, the earth w;ll be destroyed by a "comet!" (see 2 Peter iii.' 10, 12.) To sum tip tlie whole in f w words, I would state, that the prophecies of the different parts ol the Bible form a perfect system of divine truth ? parts nf winch have been mo*t stiikingly fulfilled; hut lli>-r? art* other pai t? of that one mid indivisible ey?tem which ore yet unfulfilled. The fulfilment of the one part is a guarantee strong as the truth ol God that the remainder will also be fulfilled. Hut the space of t:mo covered by the unfulfilled portion? of said system amounts to many centuries! Wliii does not, then, at once perceive, that wt-re tht world to come to an end thi? year, the system ol God's prophetic truth must be broken in two in tlu midst, and the latter half turned into a lie! Here then, it is that I rest the confident assertion, that tlu end is not yet, nor can it be for many centuries Let men, then, instead of listening to the silly va gariea afloat through the land about the "comet,' or any other prognostics, gird themselves afresh fm the great duties of life?making, nt the same time due preparation for another event which should vastly iimre concern them?their oien dissolution which may nluny moment occur. BETA. For the Carolina Spartan. COG AND THE COMET. Mr-sans Editors: I see in your papcf, dated April 30th, that it is announced by some pr?>i>hetn correspondent that the "signs of the times" portend some awful catastrophe, which, without doubt, is t< take place ere long,nud send this little planet of nun reeling and tottering hack again into chaos. Now, we are averse to the practice of newspaper scribbler? writing anything in regard to the future, for tin simple reason that they know nothing about it. \V< also think that would be sages an l philosopher? have enough to employ their wonder creating brain without meddling w itn the will and works of tlu Omnipotent ruler of the skies. \\ e are opposed h divines?men, commiisioned by the most High h teach what Christ taught?men, whose holy and lugh calling is to reclaim the wicked from the path' of sin and misery, by preaching the sacred Trutlii as they are revealed in the Bible:?Wo say we nr< decidedly oppos? d to these heaven appointed men proclaiming from the pulpit, in scarcely midibh thunder-tones, that the end of lime is near at hand Though their motives may be go.nl, yet we tliink their judgment is placed on n 'sandy foundation, for religion cannot be frightened into men by nnj menus. It has the contisry effect. IIow man? bad their reasoning faculties destroyed by the fa naticai and diabolical prophecies of Miller! Evci nt tl is very day the wi'.d shrieks snd groans of ma nines burst from the walls of the mad-house, trllin. to the world the curses that Miller inflicted, nn< warning others of the same prophetic mould to sliui the folly, the fanaticism, the dninnnblc sia of dtlud ins the ignorant and uulcarncd, and by this mean destroying both soul and body. But now to the article of 'Gog.' He says tlia Dr. Cumming has fived the 13th of June for th consummation of all things eaitbly. and that tin destructive work is to be aceompiished by n remark able comet, which happens to be passing througl our solar sysicm about that lime. Now, we do nn think that Dr. Cumming ever said nny such thing it lie hn-, we are ignorant of (lie fact, lie husgivei much careful study to the prophecies of Holy Wr i and it is Ins opiuiou that eoine leniurkublo chung will tuke place duniigtlie present century. Bu hear what he does say: "I believe that these si< thousand years, accord ing to the most ancient and t est calculations, nr very near their accomplishment. 1 believe we ar at we opening oi the pouring ?'Ut of tlie s.ventl vial, and at tlie commencement of scenes which wt| not liiat very loop, but winch thull be tenipcsHiiii and atorniy beyond all parallel; the din, discord aiu coiifuaion ol which, however, shall be like tin preparation of insti urneiit* of a great concert fu the hni mony and jubilee that will prevail over al the earth." Hut thin docs not come from the pen of inspira lion. He is ns liable to be mistaken a? otliciaii regard to the myntriious future. Even the imme diute followers of Christ believed that the Judgmen would come in their day, but they were mistaken Since that lime others have prophesied conoeruitii the same event, and yet the world keeps moving oil ns it ever has done. l/oreiiso l)ow comes in with his prediction in re gnrd to the lint lie of '"Gog a d Magog." And wha did the eecentrio Dow know about the future? suppose uliout as much tsanyof us?nothing. Itu the most conclusive eviJenre, in the opinion of Cog that time is drawing to n close, is the cold wrntliei of the past winter nod spring. A new theory, in deed, for the world to be destroyed by cold. I al ways It ought there was to be n Idlle fire employer in the final catastrophe.

W? mutt cloee this article by saying, that neither Cumming, Dow, nor G??g knows anything in regard a i to the time when it ehail pleaee the Allwiee Creo- Iowa tor to destroy the present elate of nflhirs; for He *'1'" worketh in a way unknown to mortals, guiding and ^ iye f directing each planet in ita course, and protecting wlio the numberleas orba that bespangle tiie concave of A heaven from all d inger and destruction.
