M. L. BONIAM for A very neat eopy of the " Journal of our late State Convention." This pamphlet is issued from the Press of lessrs. JoHs-oN & CAvts of Columbia, and goes far to prove the completeness of their establishment., . RELIGIOUS NOTICE. Ox Sunday morning next, the 18th inst., by request, a sermon will be (D. V.) preached in the Episopal Church in this village, on the subject of M ATION, showing its scriptural origin C ipTa twarrant for its continuance in the of God." The citizens generally arc inyed to end. Service to commence at 101 A. 31. GALA DAY. A delightful pic-nic is anticipated for Thursday next, at the farm of Dr..Wx. BVa-T, near our village. It is given to the scholars of the Young Ladies' Boarding and Day School of which the Rev. N. ALDRICH is the worthy and efficient Principal. We are requested to extend an invitation to the friends of the Institution generally to attend on that occasion. The P'rincipa's acquaintance. not- being very extensive in our -community, he may have omitted to send ingitations in thtany. instances. He hopes therefore, that, each friend of his school, who has not as yet been'invited, will consider this a per: sonal inviiation and- wilt attend accordingly at the Pic-Nic. 5(Yl GRACIOUtS--HOW HOT I" 'Tutaexclaino or. one very like~ it, has been f eciigy'saeatesonehousxnd tienes: a-day for ~the last-week within the limits of this incorporated r: o s-:- isis pui- caltiulation;'made "rough at a ~'Wa are jifformed that some negroes entered the sleeping apartment of W.

THE CONGARE HOUSE. Oy another column wil be found the adver~ise meat of Messrs. MAYDrs & HAnoY. They are the proprietors of that long known establishiment, in tColumbia, -familiarly and appropriately called the Congaree House. To those of our readers who have -had the pleasure of partaking or the htospitality of -Mr. WuIrLtAM MaraiN, no greater inducement can -be offered thans the opportunity of again enjoying the kindness and cheer of this ".Jolly Old Hlost." We know the Proprietors well, and can vouch for more than an ordinary degree ofcareand attention on their part. Mr. HrrtCHoCE:s fine line. of Omnibus Coaches Iare so welt known that any comment is entirely un Snecessary. We heartily wish " Old Uncle Bily" and hi. asso Sciate partner all imaginable success. S I I EPISCOPAL PAllISi LIBRARY. n TE members of Trinity Churc-h, of this place, -have established a very neat Library, of Religious Books mainly, for the use of the children connected f with their Sabbath School. We are glad to see this; efor there is no more effective mode of engrafting upon -the youthful mind correct notions of the duities and proprieties of life, than the giving them access to interesting moral sketches, histories, lessons &c., Sprepared with judgement and selected by the hand of taste. The collection we speak of ueems to he one of that description. At least we judge so, from the Sperusal -of a volume therefrom, which hasi beer kindly loaned to us--we mean a book eantted " Salander and the t'ragon."' Thb- '' most novel rand engaging allegsiry, vividly porraitlie banefi ~ofreets of back-biting, slander &c., which many Swould do well to procure and read with care. It steaches a most -salutary lesson-and whaikni'e arose from its perusal with decidedly imjliis litviewir -of social duty. CIf the Episcopal Library has many such works we - would be glad to draw upon it again. THBE AUGUST A POST OF FIC E. TnE Postmaster at Augusta has addressod to this SPress a short note in refeience to some -comnphaints, made by us in a recent number, against the faulty -management of his office. We would have published Shis Communication with pleasure, had wve not have mislaid it beyond .recovery., it. will be sufficient, however, to state that he denies that the neglect has been chargeable upon him or his agerits'. He admits that some errors .may. have occurred-but- thinks they have been as few and as far between as in any other Post Office of such extensive business. He says that he superintends strictly and: in person the. Itran'actions cfhis ofice, .and tat lie.has everla ibored to discharge his trust with Iaithfuluness and exactnets. This is, as well as we remeinbe'r, the sum and substance of his note, We have no desire whateter to make any unneces sary attack upon any officer cunmbered with such complicated and onerotis dOties as is a Postmraster m 'one of our largE distributive offices. And we have hb hesitation in saying that the note, above alluded to, lia convinced us that the Postmaster'at Augusta is not, .by any rmeans, so culpable as we had been led toW believe. We say .to him however1 very frankly, that wo have-not been alone in ascribing irregularities to the office under his care ; and we hope. the knoivledge of this faot-will stimulate hun notronly to continue, but pai~sible,zto-incruase hialertness- and activity as a tihlicoffidir, - -~ ~liiirs i'ighto o-mplain i'herrsuf ~iie~4i~t hai .soeanS 1ltre be a ipose t~a a dirotaf givig satiksae tin, would be grad to liear alf sutch' *onpliiita ami charges, in order either to'cdofend himseltor forecti .

Tim following strictnre upon the Edgefield Adver, tiser we find contributed to a late number of -the " United States Catholic Miscellcay." It is - forth by the fact that an article from the "ae- Yo'rk Herald" upon the "Temporaliti le Catholic Church".w e Advertiser: "The New York Herald and the Edgefield Adverti ser (par 6obile fratrum) are so modest that they inter fere between Catholic Laity and Catholic Bishops. Such independent and impartial and truthful represen talives'of the public press, thit they join in the " No Po ery" erv,-and such advocates of States Rights and Strict Cons.uction, that they would invoke Con s or s~tate lkgislatures; to rescue the degraded trproir spiritual despotism !. " e were not surprised at.Dhe New York Herald; but we are surprised at the editors of the .Edy' Advertiser. We think that they ought, mp Py to make confession and ainends. 'And, oAet ier they do so or not. they may be assured thaZ5ley have exhilit ed neither tyood sense nor goodfialners in copying from the New York Herald pch silly and ofensive ar tielos!" - The writer, f of exhibiting by reason and argument (t only proper subsidiaries- of Christian" discus - e fallacy of the statements contained in erald's article, thinks it best to pursue the Sim p!er, and, doubtless, the easier course of pouncing, with singular ill-tiature, upon the journal which re-' publishes said article. Such a course, by the way, is generally one of the strongest proofA that argument and facts are lacking; although we do not say that they are ho in this instance. We can but admire the taste, which prompted the writer to say (after suggesting to us "to. niske con fession (auricular?) and amends") "whether they do so or not, they may.be assured that they have exhibit. ed neither good senspaor good manners 4'e.". There's a dear morsel for all Ipvers of propriety. Pointing out to us the civility 6vwfessing our error, and then, before giving us the bi-r' nity to do so, denouncing us in advance withl-.0 ;ed fretfulness! We have always bdeii: solerant towards the Roman Catholic Chtetrch, and have ever abstained from s'ay ing one word against its polity or its teriets. But~just Koch attacks as this have 'the effect of arousin'g.our Protestaint predilections into new hfe. And but a short train of reilection~ brings us to'the asfeilitha't we believe the hour, whichi shallisee Romain Citholla~ preponderance in America, will riitg thie dath-kielli of civil liberty. *We are preliared -now to say, In. spite .oflga example. of the "Miscellany'a."corsprun,.h, beieployed bahgrpi paper-is issued. auoli.was ,.t e se with the aril in question. And, had the at'tack upon s a oi little less Priest-like 'and a little more Christian-like, we woul:1 have oheerfully signified that the publica tion e-f that article would not, upon examination, have met with our approval. For the iProprietor of the A.duertiser we are author ized to say, that he is an advocate of the Freedopa of the Press, whether the question involved be Catholie or Protestant--that lie sometimes publishes articles, ihe drift of which Is to point out the abuses of any Church or Order-and that he does not recognise any infallibility aboiut thre Church of Rome, which should shield it, par excellence, from attack or eitposure. If the article published be untrue or unjust, the same -space ini his columis, which it occupies, is at the service of any one whlo may choose to rebut its con clusion. THINGS PO1LITICAL, THE~ late mails brought us no news from Washing ton, and we are therefore in the durki as to the pro. ceedhings of Congress. We presume, however, that nothing of importance is before either Hlotise-ain fact that no other very interesting question will arise du ring the present session. The wire-puillers, Presidential electioneerers and Demagogues are, of coturse, busy. Indeed we see a split even between associate Editors upon the great topic of the day--a split which we are exceedingly pained to perceive, and one wvhich wve fear will not only place the Southern Press in articuslo mort is, but, it may be. interfere in some way with the comingplee tion. We forbear any comment upon the course pur sued by either of the Editor. of that paper. We pre sume that they have carefully weighed the conse quence of the step they have taken, and we believe them to be honest in their intentions and sincere in their conv~ictions. Be that, however, as it may, such a course must end will have its effect upon the Dem ocratic party for better or for worse. rTia contest for the chief magistracy is still very doubtful. As matters now stand, the star of PIaaCE and Kasa is ira thai ascendancy, but who knows what effect will be Droduced, or whlat changes may not be brot4.ht about by the machinations of the great Prince of1 dntervention, Kosauttn, or by the decision of the GeoagieConvntiotakhaashaena.. o thie4Jnion, Tooxas and STEPntENS, at its head. 'lf the great Hungarian should succeed in his at. -lmpt of casting ad libitum the German vote in favor of an intervention candidate, will not things wear itogethier a different aspect? Who would be more .ikely to receive their support than HALEs, of New hampshire, a thorough going'intervention man, and worse than all, a free-soileri In can of such an event is matter. very little who their candidate might be, for under any and all circumstances the Democrats would 'be -weakened and the chance .of the Whigs very naturally strengthened., . What the determination of the Georgia Convention will be we cannot. nowy say, but we fear It will only furnish a repeated instance of the old fable, " Par' tiuriunt montes, nascetur ridiculus mus." W hen Tooxas is at the helm, who cart say where tie ship will landi The result of this body is looked for wih greatinterest, and expectation is on tiptoe in regard to its decision, for it is uuidoubtedly the first upon which the election depends. The truth, of the matter is, that Toosiss and STEPHuENS have lately lost their compass, and are very. willing to throw tenmelves upon Georgia.in order to be set right again. We have our own -views in relation to the Convention; hist as we are not inclined to meddle in advance .withl the deliberations of'sueli assemblies, we deenr it pfroplrto keep them to ourselves. Indeed, as our State is not inclined to enter the electioneering campaign, nor so become a party in the present canvass of intrigue,bergain-making and Des agogism, we think ks. expellient. to: remain) slnt, contenting ourselves with crying, like the.ianrs h the Tempbst, "'herrah for the best wind,( 4; i for the,, most equitable dhtision of the "foares and fishes" possible. 7 GEonom.-TheSavaintiah Repubtekdaei :givng "'ninbr of extrneta oif JoeuAfi dfjeont. portions' of thb'fState s$. tO tifiution-from. vaarous. parts ofhe tl joittifiestiie belief, that of the,95,000vtaia Geoia, not 500. are willing to ta. flenL SCatt - - .

FOR THE ADVEITIBER. EXAMMATION Op FLINT HL ACADEY. IFRsas. EDIToRs :-On Friday the 2d inst., I had the pleasure of attending the examination of the pupils of " FLINT I hiILL A CADFNY," near Mr. Tues. PAYXE's in this District, and of partaking ofa Sump tuonus entertainment prepared for the occasion. The School is under the superintenlanee of Mr. JoIN. HARRIS, a young gentleman from Abbeville, whose ability and devotion to his duties emintntly qualify him for the station he 611s'. Theexamining Committee was composed of able, intelligent and experienced teachers, among whom was Mr. A NDEnION, one of the Rectors of the Pres byteriin School at Greenwood. Contrary to the common usage on such occasions, the boys and girls were thoroughly examined, not only on a portion of what they had read during the year, but on all of it; anal it was the opinion, if not e i( the whole of the Committee, at least, of a ma e jority of it, that tliy had never witnessed a test of the kind, in which the studenis exhibited more self p smession, readiness, skill and training; and in which a niaster won for himself, nidre success and character as an instructor of youth. Thtere -was no attempt at ostentation or show, andl, perhaps, I may be justified in saying, tha1 there was really too little pretension manifested boila eby the- teacher ail the pupils. Classes were examined in Grammar, Geography SArithmetic, Algebra, Geometry. I1iatory, Philosor ,play nd'Latin, andl they all displayed the proficien ney and accurate knowledge of their studies, whieli ebaracterize the besttatight wholarsin any institu tion. fter ditiker,' the xeteberof tid~ day were con chled* b thi fedklin of Compositionjand bytdia Sa~lsi te Ude egite airniwith gres erediL. - At night the S~chool and the analibin'ee 're-aasem bled and were well entertained b~thie performane< -2of a part of the Tragedy of " Julius Ca'sar'," an of the farce of " Fortuna's Frolie," by the largel yyoung men; and in these too, the boys proved, thta Sthey had been disciplined and prepared with labol and care. a It gives me much satisfaction to- thus minute1; ileseribe the exiunination of a Echoaol. which 1 es teem an honor tao the District. If I coulal suppos athat a word from mc might recommend air. IIAs nud, as a teacher, more than his own pre-emninen rmerits, [ would select the vtry chmoietat terms, an< employ them fur the purpose; but he needs a Slanguage of comimendation. Ilis aets anal condue nfurnish his best letter-of credit-and his pupils give ithe stamp of genuineness to the hand-writing. e.One ting was particularly remarked by me dlu a ring the examination-that nao one student was en v gaged in too many branches at a time. The capita error of miodern teaching is the great nunmber o stuadies whiei generally disti-net the minds of oui c, hildlren, prevent all coaneinttration of thaought c: ir any 'one subject, andl :really unat the faculties for il serionsy pursuit of ainy reiel ce, and faor a. profound d investigatiun of any miatter of solemn weighat and a argument.
