Some of the 1i ip: pers are noticing the in. ereane of crime oet .1 kinds in the c'oun try. and endeavoing to ac 1 for it. There can be no doult that c:me j increased considerably du. ring the last year; the papers conltaini more of it in various slIpe hian we have ever before observed ; but sonif allowaince MusL be made for the added mO:- f.publicity, by which near. Iv eveirlilg tha .one, no miatter where, is at once made kiii. But wliereiorbi4 herease of crime? Whose fault is -it?... h 3a the reredy ? We can sedeely. ope, per without seeing an account of a. 10 de, a robbery, a rape, or a snicide, or a .onspl -y to deprive it fellow being of property or lifr. 'Then we have church burn ings, aind riots, aI o4bs. and assassinajions all teiding to t14g- nviei lon that the increase to evil deeds mire.u ni:keeps pace with the increased populatio' 'of thecouniry. We think we cii give.one of epc reasons for thig, and that re:son is idleness -di-position to live widhout labor-a dependencp, not upon industry and manly exertion, btiton shre-wdness, chicanery, and over-reaching "An idle brain is the de% il's workshop"-and a habitu.illy lazy is habitu ally and inei'hably:mean. Another reason m iy be that the laws are not as rigidly eiforced- ' t hey should be. Juries, under the iifluenee of the eloqence and in. genniy of counsel, who in turn are under the intiuetce of gold ia'the shape of large fees. are too prone to acquit;.ho wealhuy when charged with crime; while the poor man, as a general rnle. is subjected tlhe rigors of the law, sld eft to his punishmte is a mailer of course. pd widhout compa sio'on What would hve been the fi;ce of the ninrerer of Butler, the t-clool master. if lie had been poor?

But it is useless. perhaps, to dilat e upon these hiins. If the pufits of the counry cannot est -iin vice and save communities fo i'm I lie in rense of depravy ind disreu:,rd or !aw, the ress will scarcely L' able to effeel it. Yet ii is iumbeit upon all who wield itifihence to set heir faces against whaitsoiever is calculated to !ngender or encourlage crime; and promiient monig those who possess inlinence in this res eet, for good, we e4as the clergy, the civil uthorities by whatever name called, and the ircss.

No man is obliged to-hear. Romanism may stay away if they do not wish to hear, That isi the moat powerful opposition to preach ing that can be made. But the Romnish party have determined to break dowa the itreet preaching, and of course, the Protestant piarty have determined it shall not be broken down. This is the fight. Thte right is all on one side, which is rarely the case. " If the Romanisi sre alloWy;to triumrph at this time, and put down the Protestants, the victory will ho a bloody one hereafter. There is a principal now at stake. It is a fight for liberty of speech.

A member of the Georgia Legislature, frot Augusta, has introduced a resolution to dez prive ciizens of South Carolina of all privi leges derived from the legislation of Georgifa. Te resolution strikes directly at the South Carolina Railroad, and, as far as we can're collect, offects no other interest. The motive' of this legi:lation is an act of our Legislature, giving to certain named persons, (wh.om .we do not care to name,) the privilege of collect ing toll on the bridge over the Savannah River at Augusta, wiich bridge belongs wholly to the said city. Not only so, but the land on this side of the bridge also belongs to the city of Augusta. The act of the South Carolina Legislature, therefore, appears on its face some what like a grant of the privilege to commit robbery on the highway, and the wonder is how it ever received the sanction of a body of hon orable men. We have avoided alluding to this subject heretofore, partly from pure shame, and partly because we could not entertain a doubt that at the next session of 4he Legisla ture the step would be retraced. The bill granting the privilege to certain perons of levying contributions on 'the Oublic for passing over other people's property, was not, as far we have been able to learn, the deliberate act of our Legislature. It somehow slipped through the Senate without awakening any body's attention, and it came up for the aciion of the House the night before the close of the Session. There was a thin attendance, mainy members having gone home, and others being absent. 1bs advocates urged that there was an important question of jurisdiction be tween the two States likely to be brought before the Federal Courts, and that the neglect of Sou.h Carolina to assert her rights in re gard to the River in this case, might prejudie her before that tribunal. We do no; see the force of Ine argument, but- it had an effect at - the moment, and the bill passed. We have aothing to say in favor of the bill. Tt was in %iolation equally of comity and of right. It had all the worst aspect, that it came after the settlement of the long controversy bout the passage of the River by the South Carolina Railroad-a settlement on which the city of Augusta finally acted on the part of frank liberality, and deservedly won the cordial good feeling of the citizens of 'Charleston. We are not surprised that they are indignant, and we can hardly blame them for proposing mea sures of retaliation. But at the same time we re bound to express our conviction that the act of our Legislature was simply a blundering accident ; that it cannot be carried into effect legally, and that it will be annulled at the irst opporiunity. We trust that our friend. i. Georgia will do nothing hastily and in ro sentuient. FORMcTLE RESCUE OF A SLAVE GraL m A MoB.-On the 281 uIt., when the cars from Peternhurg arrived .t Salem, Ohio, the depot was found to be filled with an exeited mob, in rr% n .ag & desatch being receivedfrom to slavery, says: When the ears sta-pped, a big negro stepped into them, and accosting the girl asked her if she was a slave. She made no reply, but her misiress answered that she was. Thereupon the bhtek ruflan siezed her, and she clinging to her mistress' neck, begged most piteously not to be torn away; but the black fellow violently tore her aw:ly and in the efflrt bruised the lady's neck severely, and carried the child out of the iar on one arm, and flourished a revolver in the other hand, amid the plaudits of the excited :rowd. The master of the child was not just then in the car, and upon heating of the rescue offered o go btrmf;e any officer and execute free papers, if toe gil wished to be free, leaving the matter to ne girl. itt the mob would listen to no neh thing. The chi!d's screams were heard above tte tumalt, begging to go back, so that he could again see her mother, who belongs to the am.e owner. The life of the owner was threatened, and he lare not remain over, but went on in the cars to carry grief to the mother of the girl. That long haired, brainless C. C. Burleigh was on hand, and tn:de a harrangue to the crowd. Te Herald denounces the outrage in severe terms, and calls upon the citizens to wipe out the stain.
