The developments of t Provido-nce, however, have not biltherto t aippeared to be sufHicienitly clear to war- l rant the adoption of anmy definite schemo c of operations among. them designed to' be uniform and general in its aipplica- Ii tion. Thme tinmei would seem to have arrived for pronouncing such a policy. e Your Commnitteo conceur in time ompinion r of the petitioners, that mlt is higmly de-. sirahle that some such action be taken C by this Assenmbly as is suggested by time e overture. The want of a recognized anud gegeoral plan-.is tendmng to the adop- Ii tmon of variant and incongruous lines of s policy in dim-rent parts of our Church. a The restult will be, that our relatioris to r Mhe colored race, and our schmomnes of r labor among them, -will. become need- E lessly compliqated aind confused.

Pro 'ided, that the colored people them elves do not oppose a change in their xisting relh;ons, aid that they con ent to file foregoing arrangemen't. 2. That whierl n1O white church. s are tccessiblv, EVian.elists may establish -olored missionary churclies, and preside ver their sesions in admitting mem >ers and exercising disciplino. That c.tirches inl cities with which :olored coirches would on this plan be, Illited, mllay secure, if practic;ihte, two mstors each inl order to compass the vork contemplated. 4. Thaft a committee (say of two min. sters piad o ..ruin der), may be ppoinied by each Sylod, to carry, i O-operntion with pasto und presbyteri. 4 eVangelists, this scheme into eftct, s far as prae-icable, in its bonnds ; on. nlmber of* each committee to act as vangelist 'among. the colored people, nd to receive his support, in part, from he AM.mbly's committee on sustenta ion. 5. That, suitable colored iienl may be mployed to speak the word of Ckhor. Ition to their people, under the- diiec on of pastors or evangelists. G That. when colored candidates for te ministry are ablo to stan'd the usiual xaminatiin, Presbyteries may proceed ) license them ; and in the event of iese licentiaties being qtialifi,,d and de - -A to Inke Charge of colored churches, 'rvsbyteries may either ordain and inl tall hem over sch churches, still hold. ig their connection with 1i. or ordain uid install them over stich churches, ,ith the iuderstanding that. they shall hionceforth be ecclesinst,itlly separated 9.

Itespectffully submitted, JoN n. GmRARD---U, Chtairmani on behalt of Commiuttee. After the presenitaiion of a miniority eport, the Rtev. Mir. (Girardeau addre; s. Ihe Assembly as follows: I speak to this quest.ion with diff once, anid profess no superior knowl. dge on this aubject, though I have penit many years in labors amnlig the olored people, bim I have a st,ronig con. iction of the necessity of adopting a olicy by wvhich we may feel[athorized i act.ing. This is nto pet question of minei. I reel that there are otheors of reater imp~fo!tanIcf, sneh as the examm. at ion of the constit,ution of the church. anm not, disposed to lionize the niegro. feel that ho has an immortal soul, and >r that and its salvation I wish to ibor. The great John Howe, when lie was high position at a worldly coutzt, tought of his country church wvhere 'ere was a deep feeling of piety, and a returned from the court to his quiet enntry charge, wvith the remark dhat, If I can only save one soul, I shall not ave lived in vain." NOW, the guestion recurs to ns wheth r wo shall, in a kindly spirit, try to stain this people, or turn themn off. V ilh a due regard to their interests, or our duty to 'God'- or ourselves, we runnot. AR regards their interests, wo cannot it them go without sending them to the st sea of ruin. I[live upon the' coast mong vast numbers of' them, wvhose timbers are being increased .by those 2treatintg before immigration in thme pland couttry. I would reveal facts astonish, t he Assembly concerning ie tendencies. 'The father of the Rev. ir. Palmer has told me of their orgies. 'hey fill a table with candIes, and ance around it. saying that thtey are he angels of Gdd artni the' thrdhit-, nd-one of their nitmber, who prehes a them, tells the Gospel of Julius. He annot, even correctly pronounce, the ame of Jesus. In some of their meet. ags they are adopting the Romish sys-' em of penance.

Shall we turn tl.m off. alienato them from u., and increqe the antipathy between the races ? Wheii f returned from a Nortlirn prison, some of the blacks avkud me to p.-eacl to the).

Not to erect a barrier, and Gay you shall not take any part in the govern. met of your churches and UsUrp the prerogatives of God in saying "you have iot been called to preach the Gos pel." I would not be rash, but I would make a present policy, and then, in the future, recede from it or maintain it, a. cording t-1 its practical workings. Shall we -hen provide fIor them in our own cturche, or give them a sepa rato orgniization ? Dr. Thornwell urg. ed tie latter. The style of intruction given to the Whites iS above the capaci. ty of the blacks. Say what you will about the simplici. ty of preaching, we must. conform our preaching to the capacity of our hearers. We do not address the same language to children in Sabbath School and to adults in church. Then, t oo, arises the question of prop trty. The sooner we separate the blacks, and give them a distinct service, Jie sooner shall we be free from fears of the loi. of our church buildings. As to the machinery, there is great difficul. ;y, and we entertain no tendency to logimatism. . We propose to keep them under a rapable white ministry for the present. V'here ato yet none of them qualified to zerform the delicate duties of a pastor. rt will take years and years of eilight. iled instruction, to fit them fikr it,,. The iecond poiitis o give them ruling eld. nrS. I see the constitutiujial dlfficulies f the matter. I. respect tbe. Constilu ion 1Ajnd ;wid not, ieedlessjy break >ver it. . 3ut pn missionary ground we .annot-demand the same earthly -knowl ,dge as a quailification for the office of ruling 'der. A nd further, the in-true .ion of Li.e Spirit of God is the best pre rnartion for holding office, and same of 6hem) have the ability to make prayers hat we would gladly learn to mak;. 3o much as to their qualification. Amid is to their performance of the duties of ruing viders, they have for years and years been virtually and pra:.tically elders, doing tihe n% ork, visiting the sick ind administering to the dying. Why not now make thI m formally so? But the renl constitutionI difficiihy is ile lai-diaition of a di iiction of color. But the ConnFitiulln Was not fraied with a view to the pre-ent posit.ion of the South. It, has already been the caso that we have not represm-d the Preshy rian rights of these people ; we have not suffered iliei to be elected to the elder ship. If we were then justified in de parting so widely, why not now depart less widely ? It will be said that we are setting a dangerous precedent, but the cas~e is so peculiar that I have little fear of any injury from it. Stuppose we do refuse a ruling elder thie privilege of a sent. in Presby tery and ho consents to it, we do0 him no v'iolent wrong, and( refuse him one privilege only because of peon. liar difliculties. Th'le whole einestion turns on this flrit question. If we do not adopt that, then I abandou the rest of the schieme. But I shonid go home with a heavy heart. F~or without some plan of this sort, I can see no prospect of retaining our influence over them for gand. A Mlethodist brother lately said to me, you are wasting much sanctified materialu~pon'this people. The Metho [list policy has been to throw them off ipto a separate organisation with a rery slight coonneotion withi that Churoh. Shall we also set them adrift upon the'sea of ignorance, sper atition, radicalism and fanatioisw ? After some furt,ber discussion, .in which .various amendment and substi-. tittes were offered and lost, the report was adopted .--Charleston Cousrier. TURN OF EN(-00vERNOJa Rhv.

In confirmation of these views, we print. tho followin., extract from a letter received by a geleman of this city, from an old anld highly respectable and intelligent Ierchants of Augnwta, Geor gia : 'I last night read with much pleasuro the report to the Mayor of the good old ct p, :lative to the 1tio Jilge Rail road. I on persated that the true interests of Carolina is, to-push on to e;l I ly completion this road, aid to build it to Knxville on nearly an air-line its the ohatracter of the country will admit; this is the last hope of C)harleston. I am in hope that the Ohio people will conclude to come direct to Knoxville, and if not now they will ultimately. Charleston, I 1.hitik, is ntnirely indupen. dont of them. and they will ojy see' that outlet (Charleston) because it is to their interest to do so, and this thesy will find out sooner or later. "My object in writing is this : The poople of the WOst are great upon a 'Gulf port' outlet to the great Gulf of Mexico, to comnid the trade of the West Indins and South America; and I snppo.ie they are lionost in the opin. ion that through Mobile or New Orleans this would be the case. You and I know quite the contrary, and this idea I wish you to elaborate to them. Charloston is much nearer to all the West India ports than Mobile or New Orleans; the future value of tle West Indies being as I think, in the islands, other than Cuba. Thie French and English possessions are vastly progreapive, and under a well regulated system of Coolie labor, there is no tellg whit their pro duct may be. British Guiana alone is capable of making sugar to the extent of a million of hogsheads yearly. Now, suppose you wished to ship one thots. and barrels of flour from New Orleans to Jamaica, Uarbadoes, Trinidad, or Demerara on the main, or any other island, excelit Cuba, or to any port onl the South A merican coast., yon have, after leaving New Orlenns, to make the coast of Cuba, then cross there the Gulf tream north of Cape Floridn, then stand away to strike the, trade winds, ail your passage to Barbadoes is say twenty-six days; from Charlston it would be six, not more. Ynu,'or rat.h. e4thoy, will say, iteaml must be lised ; well, it is too .costly. It is true, a smart, vessel might beat to windward. say south of Jamaica; by this she would be say sixteen days. Ask some of your old capaiis abouit lies; I think the point worthy of being mentioned." In our opinion then the whole result may be summed ip in a few words. Cincinnsti acknowledges the commer cial nec-ssity of a tonneeion with K.oxville bly proposing to build the branch road from Chitwood's to Pjk( Gap. Lonisville is in a position to strike down at once andl give -is the same connect ion with 1.hdt cil v tha, we sh1ould have chad if Knoxville had been titken as the terminous of the CIn cinnati line. Louisville can readily ob. tait the money to make her connection with Knoxville ; Cincinnati will be able to complete her road to Chitwood's and the branch to connect her with Knox. ville in two years, though it will require four to complete her road to Chattanoo. ga: so that, by the time we can com plote the Blue Ridge Road, we shall have the shortes', possible connectioni with ELouisville, arnd a connectioni with Cntinnati only t.nenty--two miles lon.. ger than if Kn'oxville 'ead been chos eni. T1h,is is enough for us, and proves theo necessity of going to workc at, once to comp)leto the Blue Ridge Rioad, as a railroad connection thaet wilt, more than any other indcuat rial undertaking, beihl up our it,y anid State. Onir position is impregnable, and we are prepared to meet any airguements that may be aud vaniced against. it. What we euu:atln is, that the Knoxville route is the beet for Cincitnati ; but.that whatever route may be adopted, South Carolina must reap an immediate profit, and ePcure a trade whose value mn a fow years will be nmany millions of dollars, I4n NEwS FReoM CUnA FoR TIIR PA.

To the Planters of the South: The above named company is now organized and is completing its ar rangements to supply Southern plan ters with Chinese laborers, to be col looted at St. L,uis and distributed through the South in time for the crop of next year. The labor ques tionk is obviously the great problem to be solved in connection with the I ret,toration of the South to anything V like its former pro,perit.y. Tho solu tHion of that (11estion is mo:4 readily t and successfully found in the vast and ovCI IlowiUg population of Chinu, the cheapness of Coolio labor, the pecu- I liar adaptedness of that race to the alimate of the 8outh and to the pro luction of Southern staples, and in J the cheap and convenient transporta- n tion afforded by the Pacifio Railroad, 8 rhia road is now completed from the 0 Mississippi river to San Francisco, and this company is now ready to corres- I pond with Southern planters in refer- d ,noe to furnishing .hiuese laborers a ror their plantations. f There are in California between I Iwo and three hundred thousand Chi 3amen at the present time, and many t moro are oonstantly arriving from t oross the Paoilo.

In recommendation a f the Coolios as a laborer, it may, in 0 3onclusion, be said, that it is easy to V nake him a permanent fixture wlen P jo once becomes located, as he can be c sontracted with without diffloulty for V i series of years together, and lie is P ioted for his faithful and religious "I kdhorenoe to his contracts. . 1 Address F.

War or Peaeo. That there are powerful popular ele. Yents in this country who believe that kwar with England would be the beet hing that could happen for the Uni :ed States is true. Wherefore ? Be ause it is believed that such a war vould give us the river and the Gulf if St. Lawrence as a free outlet for )ur Western agricultural producte, 6nd all British North America for a ew field of enterprise, and would :ivo, moreover, such an impulse to niorican manufactures as to make his country wholly independent of ,'uglihb goods and able to outsell her n other markets. There are, also, iany muen of this warliko school who 'elievo that it is now with the United kator and England as it was with tome and Carthnge, and that this ew conflict for the supremacy must Dane day come to the same conclusion a the old one. All these elements of hostility to ingland, including three or four hun red thousand able-bodied Irish born nd warlike American citizens, are >r pushing the ultimatum suggested ut not proposed by Senator Sumner. luu on the other hand, through all ae ramifications of American society Joro are the holders of the govern iont bonds, and bondholdera and anks and merchants and shippers and roperty holders generally have a ai amount interest in the preservation F peace with England. They gene illy believe that a war with the Uni id States would eventually be the ostruction of the British empire, eginning with a revolution in Iro nd; but they also believe that such war meantime would involve this )untry in repudiation and financial ud political chaos. This peace party >ntends, likewise, that while peace ith England is indispensable to the ryment of our national debt, finan al order and the development of our %st internal resources and our ra idly expanding foreign trade, it will so best serve our "manifest destiny" lea of the progressivo annexation of Dighboring territories, North as well I South. The administration of General cant is with this peace party. (N. . [ PRoTECTIoN-FiEE TRADE.-POlI cal economy is a science whose truths re not based upon geographical lines. or instance, it would hardly be as irted even by Horace Grooly that hile a protective tariff is a wise easure for this country as it now ands, yet free trade would be better r it if its northern boundary line ran here M son & Dixon's does. We mfoss, however, that we cannot un arstand the teachings of the advo Ltesof protection if they do not sub antially hold this opinion. We sup se that Groolv would be a proteo onist if Now York were a separate %tion; and, so supposing, we do not adorstand why he does not advooate io passage of laws laying a heavy x upon every manufactured article krried into that State, a high tariff ould be beneficial to Canada; and the remarkable consequence follows aat both countries would gain by re rioting trade between the two. But ow if CanRd ...ad be annexed to )' Gu 8tates ? Surely it would e best to keep up the two high tariffs a otherwise both Canada and the nitod States would be Injured by oznexation ! Or, on the other hand, 'it would promote the prosperity of ocha to have free trade after anneza on, why would niot that be the best ulicy ? The reader can follow u ala line of thought for himself. We re net quite certain 'that there is not me fallacy in the argument, thou&h e do not see where it is. Again : Greol y would denounce a w which should provide that Sena ar Trumbuil should purchsase Ma. c os from Senator Sprague, or, falling ado so, should pay into the Tlreasury the United States twenty, or fifty, a hundred per cent. of the mousy ilma of any calicoes that he mih try from any one else. Yet thi. is caotly what every tariff law provides. he only difference is that nobody's ame Is mentioned. Yet Mr. Greelsy, ith the utmost earnestness, and evi ontly with the idea that he is a groat athorityon politio-economioal ques ens, ad 9oeates in his paper these ab ard ideas. We write without one ta of prej-adice. We would as 1isf a a protectionist as a free-trader. le-hate questions before us so much ore important to our welfare that we mn discuss this one without being at I influenced by unworthy cnsidera ens.
