Health of the City.-It iA not with exal
tation, but with gratitude, that we repeat
edly refer to nor weekly bills of mortality,
as evidence or the continued health of the
city. 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.

already been efected. From Darlington.

Anderson, Pickens, Laurens, Fairfield,
Chester. Newberry. Richlnil. Claremont.
Marion and several other Districts. the
Reports are as favorable as could he ex
pected. 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

present to exist an intensity of hatred
against Texas that may not evaporate as
