The last week there were only eight deaths; which is almost unparalelled in any part of the country. at any seasou of the year, with the same population. For this distiocuished favor we cannot he suf ficiently thankful; and if the goodness of God torards us. in this respect. is proper ly appreciated. it will lead to repentance and humility, as well asgratitude. For it is not on account of any righteousness of our own that we have been thus highly favored.-Charleston Observer. The Bible Cause in the State.-The pro gresa tof the work of supplying the Stat- is grtifyiog. By the Societies and Associa tiones which have been formed, much has already been efected.

Aud, no doubt, in Districts from which tie have as yet received uo particu lar ir:formation, the same zeal in the gool cause is manifested bsy its numerotis friends. Some of the Districts are already supplied and they are lending their aid to others in order to complete the work. We are. therefore confirmed in the opinion, not long since expressed. that the Reports from diferent parts of the State will give great interest to the Bible Convention at its ap proaching meeting. by showing that more has actually been efected than they had grounds to anticipate. at the commence ment of the enterprize.-Ibid. From the NeO Orleans Bee. Texas and Mexico.-It seems highly pr:>bable front the tone of the journals of Vera Cruz, that an expedition against Texas will shortly be undertaken by the Mexicans. Arrogant and abusive as i., gen erally the Mexican press, there appears a: present to exist an intensity of hatred against Texas that may not evaporate as heretofore.in emptyfmafuronade and harm. less menace. In the Censor of the 2,$J August. appears at inflammatory appeal form the Governor of the Department of C ibak*h 5blht%'to iN equip fur an expedition ag;inst Texas. amd stigtmaiizing the Texians as roboers, and murderers, &c. Oiher num bers of the same paper contain aticles of the most decided character, callinz for %nar upon Texas, demtandping the re-conquest of the severed portion of the Mexicun tetri. tory, and exiltingly mentioniug that the government is taking active neiasures to prosecte hostilities.
