The New York Liquor Dealers Association numbers over 5,600 persons, and has a cash fund of 8300,000, which it is said, will be expended in testing the constitutionality of the license law recently passed by the Legislature. A committee of nine has been appointed to proceed to Albany and obtain the opinion of the attorney general on the question. It is stated that under this law not one dealer, in five hundred will be able to obtain a license. The annual Report cf the President of the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road shows a gradual increase of business. The income of 1856 has been #8307,808.80 ; while that of 1855, was 8279,012.56, showing an increase for 1856, of 828,797.2-1.? Expenditures for 1856, reached 8195,970.50; those for 1855, 8181,735.50.

TheCleavland Herald, in noticing the passage through that city, on their wayWest, of a Mr. Hasserd, with his ici/c and fifteen children, says they were noted as the finest and neatest looking specimens of movers ever seen. They were from Elmira, New York. The Herald adds : "In appearance the family were a rare instance of health, intelligence and thrift. The oldest child was seventeen years old, and the youngest was at the breast: and the mother had a look of cheerfulness and bodily vigor that many of our city dames of half her years might envy. According to Huinbolt there is a tree in the South Sea Islands which produces ready made shirts. The natives cut pieces of the tree about two feet long, from which they drew off the bark as of a chesnut to make whistles. Each man selects a tree near his own diameter, so that the shirt may be a good fit. When the bark is off they cut a hole in each circle to admit their arms. The shirts do not require any washing, starching, and a more convenient article for loafers could not be imagined. The same country produces bread fruit, so that a fellow may get his board and clothes gratis. The ladies dresses are to undergo a modification, says a French journal?though as yet only the sleeves and corsage have been touched; the jupe and crinoline will take their turns. It is a reform that begins at the top. The new sleeves called al a juice are daily gaining ground, and they will soon be seen traversing the Boulevards. They are spaoious and flowing, allow part of the arm to be seen, and descend perpendicularly to the hem of the robe. Each of these sleeves takes two yards and a quarter of material. Some twenty-two yards will now be a small pattern for a dress. Is it not time to ask, what are we coming to ? The New York Herald says that George Peabody, the American banker of London, who has been traveling extensively through the country during the past winter, finds the United States in a condition of prosperity of which he had no adequate con-" ceptiou; "but as a whole, he considers the Southern States as occupying the most solid and permanent position of them all."? He attributes this to their production of cotton. While in the Northern States industrial pursuits are liable to great commercial changes; "cotton under the impulse of an increasing demand, is a basis on which its producers may solidly and unfearingly repose." The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch says that some few weeks since a man calling j himself C. H. Benson, and professing to be ! a member in good standing of Washington i Lodge, I. 0. 0.

Winter has gradually melted under the sweet t kisses of the genial South, and coyly the flowers 1 are peeping up from the earth which a few days 1 ago was dreary and desolate. Who cannot say with Willis, "There is to me A daintiness about these early flowers, t That touches me like poetry. They blow out With such a simple loveliness among The common herbs of pastures, and breathe Their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts Whose beatings are too gentle for the world." May is here, the clouds of April still hover a- 1 round us, but from behind them, the suu sheds ' down his beams occasionally in golden showers. 1 We are accustomed to associate May-day with parties, May-queens, boquets, wreaths and garlands?all the beautiful things of enrth. The la- ( dies of the Yorkville Female College, made an , attempt on Friday at a Fishing Party, but the day ( proved very unfavorable and after having their |, ardor dampened by a shower, they gave up the ! ? piscatory excursion. On Saturday, they took the town by surprise, by sallying forth like a "legion of angels," each of the fair processionists layiug a tribute on the Spring flowers, which vainly at- ' tempted to rival the roses on their cheeks. It was 1 a beautiful vision, but like all our glimpses of an- 1 gels?too bright to last. But hark! Did ye not hear it ? "It is, it is ' the cannons opening roar!"

We think without temerity or fear of being esteemed superstitious, we may safely predict that Spring has come to make a "visitation" this time. If we guess wrong, we should a like to know when she will come to stay. tup. punrpitti.n a nvir.RTTSETi. In glancing at its exchanges, takes occasion to * flatter itself in a very delicate manner, while os- I tensibly the compliment is intended for the Enquirer. Listen to what it says:? The Enquirer always does what some of our other exchanges always do not, viz : it semis us one of its best printed copies. In some offices it seems to be the habit, to lay aside the paiest and j most illegible sheets for exchanges; whereas, to our view, they ought to bo provided with the very ' brightest and most inviting ones. The Enquirer, acting upon this view, always comes like a welldressed, sparkling-eyed visitor, with every lineament palpably and unmistakeably developed. The Advertiser is one of our most welcome ex- ^ changes, but we are not so partial as to send it one of our best printed copies. We send the same kind to all?readers and exchanges. But we are glad that it has spoken out on this subject, because we are tired ourselves of the joke of reading half-printed sheets. If they must be sent to any one?send such to mean, unpaying subscribers, and let them first put out their stupid eyes. As for ourselves, we can but protest in the words <>f the unfortunate Arthur, "Will you put out mine eyes ? These eyes, that never did, nor neve* shall So much as frown on you ?" But secondly we object to the compliment to the District: "The present number reports the formation of another Temperance Division in York. If we remember aright, it is the third or fourth Division formed in that District. May not York claim to be the Banner District of Temperance in South Carolina ? The Enquirer is itself a strong advo- i cate of this good cause." ( York has not gained the title of the Banner i District in the Temperance cause by the formation } of three or four Divisions.

"Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law." Ilaggai, iii., iv. The trial of the Rev. Mr. Kallock, a prominent Baptist Minister in Boston, discloses the corruption of Northern Society in an unmistakable manner. That moral desolation which has blasted all the virtues of the Puritan character, has invaded the pulpit, and the sanctuary of God is desecrated by ambitious and dissolute panderers to the vitiated taste of a corrupt people. After Mr. Kallock was convicted of the grossest impropriety of conduct, after the charges brought against him were clearly proven, after the publicity of his guilt, on the very next Sabbath, with unabashed brow, he rises before a crowded house to interpret the oracles of God. Fair ladies, fit representatives of thesexat theNorth, are strangely fascinated with the eloquence of the Reverend adulterer. His charitable congregation raise j without the least difficulty one thousand dollars j to defray the expenses of the trial, for they find .. in him an acceptable guide, and dread lest, in the I ihange, they might find one not quite so pliant, ! >ne 'of purer eye than to behold evil' with compla- j icncy and satisfaction. The conduct of his con- ( ;regation towards this scoundrel, is but an ex- J roplification of the pungent truth, "A fellow j eeling makes us wondrous kind." Nothing can exceed the corruption of theNorth,'rn people, except it be the corruption of the Northern clergy. Nothing more strongly displays, he deep implantation of the hatred to the South, he hopelessness of a reform, the folly of expectug that such men will ever cease their aggrestious upon the South, the stupidity and shortsightsdness of those statesmen who tell us that there s a conservative power at the North, that is yet o restore peace ; to still the troubled waters, and iause the Cowers to spring once more in vernal )eauty on that desolate, moral waste, than the acts revealed in this trial. Kallock is but the ype of throe thousand other preachers, who ligned with him the protest against the Fugitive Slave Bill. When the clergymen become corrupt, tod the yeomanry of the country arc so completcy their dupes?we had almost said their idolators ?to what class are we to look for conservatism tnd virtue? Surely not to professional politicians. \nd what is the lessons which we are to draw rora all this ? That a revolution for better or vorse, is the inevitable destiny of the United States and that all we of the South need expect, iced hope for, need prepare for, is to turn that evolution to the best advantage. We quote a few striking remarks on the trial Vom the Greenville Patriot. "The trial evinced great tact and ability on the jart of the connsel engaged, and a great deal of jrompt decision and legal acumen on the pnrt of ;hc J udge. In the trial of this infamous hypocrite, here is a deep moral. It shows how little the luman judgment is to be relied on where thefcelngs have been excited. But for the enlistment )f feeling, wc hardly suppose there could be doubt )f the guilt of Ivallock. Three or four witnesses, is many as the Koran of Mahomet requires to jrovc the offence, testified to it. The circutnstan:es, undenied by the defendant, show the grossest mpiopriety and guilt. lie goes to deliver a lec:ure in Cambridge, and, instead of driving to the louse of a gentleman, who invited him to take tea vith him, and who was prepared to receive him, ic goes with another man's wife to a tavern, inroduccs her as his wife, and calls for a private oom! He and the woman are ushered into a bed diamber?they go to the lecture and return, and stay till a late hour. lie is a temperance lecturer, ind calls for two "Whiskey skins," a Yankee lriuk, which we never heard of before. Suspicion s excited that the woman is not his wife, and brec or four persons eavesdrop at the closed >hamber, and overhear and see their expressions >f love and guilt! "We do not suppose his congregation are all lolluted and corrupt, but the next Sabbath after lis trial they crowd to hear him, and see him )rofanc the sacred desk?resolve that he is inlio:cnt, and give him a thousand dollars to pay the 'xpenses of his guilty defeucc! What reliance is here in human judgment, when the feelings, rcigious, social or political, are excited? None vhatever, as this trial and the conduct of Kallock's songregation manifestly evince."

A serious difficulty has arisen, between the United States and New Granada, in relation to the depredations and massacre of American citizens on the Isthmus last year. The United States, through Commissioner Morse, has made the following propositions to the Grauada Government; First. To constitute the cities of Panama and Aspinwall two independent municipalities and invest them with the powers of self-government, extending over the territory ten miles wide 011 each side of the railroad?perfect freedom of the transit route?its neutrality and liberty guaranteed?the sovereignty not to be changed, and other nations to be invited to join in the guaranty. Second. To cede to the United States the full ! sovereignty of two small groups of islands in the bay of the Panama for a naval station, and all rights and privileges reserved iu the railroad contract, for ample considerations. Third. To pay for the damages occasioned by the outbreak of the loth of April. Fourth. The sum to he paid by the United States. These proposals bavo been rejected by New Granada, and counter claims set up. She claims $150,000 from the United States for damages done at Panama, to New Granadian citizens, by Americans on the 15th April, I80G, and declares that ; the United States owe her reparation for the un! eivil conduct of the former's renrcsentative. In i the House of Representatives of New Granada, a motion had been made to raise $500,000 for preparation against invasion by the Americans. The future can only decide how the disp* .s to end. NICARAGUA. The news from Walker is anything but favorable to the great filibuster. He is not only defeated at all points, but from the last accounts, was besciged in Rivas, and it is thought that he cannot possibly hold out much longer. We give a portion of the dispatch of Gen. Mora, commanding officer of the beseiging army: "The giege of Rivas is more complete than could have been hoped with the small force at my disposal. The good selection of the posts, and the service of my scouting parties, have contributed much towards the suocoss of the siege. A twen-, ty four pounder that I have planted has done much damage to the city and dispirited the cnemy. Day after to morrow at latest, I shall place in battery at the p' rt of Pucbln, occupied by General Xaturch, another gun of equal calibre, brought by my orders from the Fort of Sun Carlos, which will cross its fires with that at my head quarters, and which will completely distn.y or dislodge the fillibuster?. Walker and his forces are reduced to feed on mule meat and dogs, seasoned with sugar, in default of salt, and of this they make a most miserable ration. Those pushed by hunger, who go out to hunt for plaintains, are driven in by my troops without their having effected their object. Every night I send in Tittle guerilla partics from each one of my posts, who advance to the entrenchments of the Plaza, thus obliging the filibusters to be constantly on the alert at night, : so that they havo no timo to rest. This course, united to the ccttaluty they feel they arc com , pletcly hemmed in, produces a desertion among them of about five each day, to my headquarter?. j I calculate that triple that number daily take the ; road to Costa Rica." Still later intelligence says that Walker was con- ! fined to two houses and was expected to surrender , about the twentieth. FOREIGN NEWS. The most important item of English news, is that Queen Victoria has been safely delivered of j another daughter?a Princess! As a specimen i of the noisennd flummery which the accouchement of | a queen causes, we quote from the State*, the ti- j tied dignitaries and pompous ocremony which the occasion called forth. There were present on the occasion, in her Ma-1 jesty's room, his Royal Ilighness Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, Dr. Snow, and Mrs. Lilly, the month - ly nurse. In the adjoining npartmcnts, besides the medical men, Sir J. Clark, and Dr. Ferguson, j were the Mistress of the Robes and the Lady-in- j Waiting on the Queen, and the following officers of j State and Lords of the Privy Council, viz: his j ltoynl Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Lord , Chnncellor, Viscount Palruorston, Sir George Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Laboucherc, j Sir Charles Wood, the Bishop of London, and the Marquis of Breadalbane. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the j Princess of Hohenlohc La' genburg, arrived at j tlio palace shortly before two o'clock. The Turkish Ambassador and Madame Musurus, I the French Ambassador and Countess Persigny, the Bavarian Minister and Barronuess de Cetto, the Prussian Minister, the Saxon Minister, the Austrian Minister and Countess Apponi, the Rus- 1 sian Minister, and other members of the diplo- | matic corps, called at Buckingham Palace. Many ; of the nobility and gentry also called to pay their respects during the afternoon. Besides, the Park and Tower guns were fired, the Privy Council assembled which ordered ft form of thanksgiving by his G^ace the Archbishop of Canterbury, intelligence was sent immediately to ! France, &c. &c. Englaud and France appear to affiliate more closely than ever?it may be that their Majesties, have already planued a marriage, between the young Mr. Napoleon and the young Miss Victoria, ; which causes the present good feelings. It is affirmed that the two nations are mediating between ' Spain and Mexico. It is the intention of England to continue her operations against China, and it is understood that she will have the hearty co-operation of the French Government. Lord Elgin will demand of the Tekin Cabinet, a removal, with | the following amplifications of the former treaty: As regards commerce, the number of ports to be opened to Europepn3 is to be nine, instead of five, and diplomatic irisoions arc to be established at Pekin on the same footing as those of Persia. In France, conspiracies are still talked of, but Napoleon, disregarding these, intends paying a visit to the Colony of Algiers, into which he is attempting to introduce Indian and Chinese laborers ?a species of bastard slavery?in which there is no iniquity. He will be able to make Algiers flour| ish only by the introduction of slavery in some f shape. j Spain appears inclined to pacific measures towards our neighbor, Mexico. The following will give an idea of the condition of affairs in this unfortunate republic. "A revolutionary movement of a reactionary character, at the head of which were the clergy and the emisssaries of Santa Anna, had been discovered at the city of Mexico. The pronunciamento was to have been made on the evening of the 1st. Divers arrests had been made. Among the prisoners was M. Augilar, one of Santa Anna's old Ministers?also Gen. Traconis. The details of the conspiracy, had not found their way into the public journals. The political capital of the reactionists, however, is the new Constitution, | which has given so much offence to the hierarchy. After the revolutionary plots of the clergy and adherents of Santa Anna, the great subject of excitement in Mexico was the .threatened collision with Spain. The Minister of War, Gen. Soto, haa been ten days at Vera Cruz inspecting, personally, the fortress of San Juan de Ulna, aud the naval j and mdifary esf'bli'hnsi'nts of the city. Om. Corona and other re-tless chieftains, now exiles front tiie Republic, have olfcred their services to I the President, which wi re formally accepted.? | General Gliilardi, now completely restored to i health, has also declared himself ready for service. Tlie papers are naturally filled with the exciting topic, and comments are voluminous and various. The pending difficulty with England, now begin- I utng to be serious, had also caused considerable 1 alarm at the Capital." We find a few other items of European news:? ' The demand of Turkey on Persia for the restitution of territory, has been referred to Franco and England. The E..giish Persian treaty has not been concluded yet. Austria is negotiating ft treaty with Persia similar to that of the United States. It is reported that the Circassians nave again defeated the Russia lis in battle. Portugal is about sending an expedition to Macao, China. Pruss: i is mediating between the Western Powers and N.iples. Sardinia proposes to resume tliplolnatic relations with Home. - Mill For the Yorkville Enquirer. WHO IS HE 1 Who is he that "steals the livery of ITeaven" to promote his own selfish aims??who is he that perverts his judgment, that suffers the dictates of consciebce to be hushed into silence, while be deliberately speculates in the lives and souls of his fellow men? Is it the gambler who lives by stealing? True he deludes the victim of this mental intoxication on to ruin, but be too feels its delirious iufluence. His own mind beuds bcueath the wild excitement of the game, or even be, reckless villian as he is, would pause before the last dollar of his opnoueut was gono and the pallor of despair had settled over the flushed and eager countenance. Is it the demagogue who makes professions of ultra patriotism on the "hustings", yet whose ambition soars no higher than the emoluments of office? True, lie seeks a selfish end by humbugging his fellow-men and pampering their vanity by absurd encomiums on their honesty and integrity, when by his actions lie shows that he esteems them fools and scoundrels. Yet, while he filches their money, and cheats them out of political rights, lie leaves their souls to grope their way in the long journey of eternity. Is it the Minister of the Gospel who neglects the duties of his high station and instead of leading his flock by the "still waters," desecrates the pulpit with political squabbles and inflamntory denunciations? lie may be the dupe of fanaticism?he may think himself right. lie tempts others to sin because the devil has first tempted him?so that even he has a nalliative excuse which lessens the enormity of liig guilt. If none of these characters answer the description, who then cau it bo ? It can only be the man who makes and sella intoxicating drink to his fellow man. lie will geuernlly be found iff be a cool, calculating, clear-headed person, who can squeeze a five cent piece into a dime. lie acts not under the excitement which drives the gambler on and on in his career of crime, nor under the stimulus of fanaticism wh';h causes the minister to pollute the sanctuary of God with the frothy declamation of the demagogue. Deliberately and coolly he speculates in the lives and souls of men, spreads out his temptations, like the fatal syren, to allure all into the snare, casts his not over the land and like a fisherman of Hell, drags down thousands to "Their fit habitation, fraught with fire Unquenchable, the house of woe and pain." True, he sots up some flimsy pretext to justify this, the greatest injury which a man can possi' b'y commit to society and to the individual. One of the pious hypocrites dives into the intricacies of logic and drags up by the locks tho forcible ar guinent that if he "don't sell it, some one else will"?in other words tho sin of others justifies his iniquities. A deep aud plausible argument, but alas! for the fallacy of human judgment, the recording angel will write?liar?uuder his name. Another pup of this litter, more stolid and indifferent to censure, will candidly confess that he finds this nefarious traffic too profitable to abandon it. He marks out in his fancy some future day, by which time he shall have accumulated a fortune and can then quit his trade in the health, happiness, and souls of his neighbors, and begin his preparation for Heaven. It is useless to say that day never dawns. "When tho summons comes, To join the innumerablo caravan That moves to the still realms of death," he is found dealing out his pints nnd half-pints, in some dingy bar-room, filthy grocer}', or pig-stvelooking still-house, and the angel of death strikes, him down just as ho has dealt ont the poison to somo poor, unfortunate drunkard. Another philosopher profound, of this same category, unable to find any substantial argament to justify his course will try and laugh yon into the belief that there is no virtue, no truth, no God. With some sweeping statement or impious jest, he turns to the Baal of his idolatry, and the voice of reason can never reaoh him. The arrows of death can. liven whilo he is misquoting the Scripture ovc the tlowing bowl, raising the ribald laugh by some obsceno jest, and sneering at every thing virtuous, temperate, noble and good, will the arrow come that will lay him low, aud he will go before a God of Purity, Fidelity, and Lore, with the curse, the sucer and the scent of wine-upon his blaspheming lips! A thousand witnesses will be standing near to attest his guilt, and they will heap imprecations dire, upon the vicegerent of Satan, who tempted them along the dark paths of iniquity. The wife will be there, to tell how her husband was seduced from his love of home and the innocent felicity of the domestic circle, till at last, on a stormy night, he lay down beside his jug and when morning came, Heaven had spread a wreath of snow over his frozen bosom to hide him from his tormentor. The desolate widow will claim a son at his hands, cut off in the bloom of youth, while the ruddy glow of health yet mantled on.the check and the young heart bounded with high and buoyant hopes. Where then will the liqnor-seller hide his head ? Did those who live by the traffic, really wish for ihformation, they could see their errors from the fact that, "a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit." A tree which produces so much bad fruit must be corrupt, and the man is wilfully blind who pretends that he believes, trafficking in liquors, to be an innocent employment. Yet the churches tolerate both the making and the selling. So long as the members preserve a certain genteel piety, and pay their share of the church expenses, they are at liberty to spread temptations for others, and ignore all those charitable, philanthropic and humane evidences; of a true conversion, which make religion so attractive and so ennobling, and without which it becomes a blank? a vast temple without a divinity. JUNIUS. Southern Enterprise?Tub Pacific Railroad.?The Southern Pacific Railroad has been endowed by the State of Texas with a grant of 8,017,000 acres of land, and six thousand dollars per mile toward its construction. The road through Texas will be 783 miles long! The land?taking those of the Illinois company rj u, basis?with which Texas has thus endowed t. is "\iiiroad, wni be worth more than a hundred ana twenty millions of dollars ! In amount, it is nearly twice as great as the whole State of Massachusetts, and, in quality, superior to the rich lands of the Illinois company, and said to be capable of producing anything, from cotton and figs to potatoes and oats. Here is n specimen of Southern energy and liberality, and it is vain to search the records of American railroad enterprise for a parallel. It I has not been denied that in national affairs, and : in the conduct of wars, the enterprise and vigor j of the South have never been surpassed, if equal- I led, by any other section. Southern men were ! prominent in achieving the independence of the i Country, in fashioning its constitution nn<f laws, ' and in guiding it l>y a far-sighted and masterly , administration of its affairs to its prospnt exalted pitch of prosperity and greatne.-s. If they are > capable of conducting successfully the government ! of a nation, is it not preposterous to assert that j they lack the sense and energy to develop the re- ! i sources of a section ? Now that their attention i is beginning to be devoted to State instead of fed- j I cr?l concerns, we predict the sntnesplendid results upon a Southern which they have produced on a 1 national arena. The South docs not need the officious aid of Thayer and his abolition army, who, now that the tide of Southern affairs has taken a favorable turn, are benevolently offering their assistance and preparing to claim the credit of Southern regencra ion. Industrious, sober, conservative emigrants the South will welcome, whether from the North, from Great Britain, or the European continent, but she is able to work her own redemption without the co-operation of Thayer and his i abolition horde.?Richmond Despatch. School Books for the South. The Southern Commercial Convention, which | met in Savannah in December last, passed the fol lowing resolution: 'Resolved, That Professors Bledsoe and McGuffey of the University of Virginia, and President Smith of Raudolph Macon College, Va.; Hon. Geo. E. Badger and D. L. Swain of North Carolina: the Right Rev. Bishop Elliott and J. Hamilton Cooper of Georgia ; Prof. John Leconte, Rev. J. H. Tliornwell, Rev. J. W. Miles and Rev. Dr. Curtis of South Carolina; President Tallmadge of Georgia; Dr. Lacy of N. Carolina; Ashbell Smith of Texas ; President Longstreet of Mississippi; Dr. Garland of Ala.; Charles Gayarre of Louisiana ; Dr. Rich'd Fuller of Maryland; and Dr. Alonzo Church of Georgia, he requested by this Convention to take the matter of Southern School Books under their auspices, and select and prepare such a series of books, in every department of study, from the earliest primer to the highest grade of literature and science, as shall seem to them best qualified to elevate and purify the education of the South." The President of the Convention, Mr. Lyons, has published a call for the above committee to meet in Columbia, S. C., on the 8th day of May next. The Southern Quarterly Review. In the course of the ensuing week the 4th number of this ably conducted Quarterly will be issued from this office. The forthcoming number will prove to be one of the richest that has been published, and it is to be hoped that the friends of Southern Literature, will rally to its support and ensure its permanency. In order to prove to our friends, our desire to sustain the work, we think it not improper to state that we have paid out and incurred a debt in its publication during the past year, amounting to $9,343 34 Of this amount we have paid in cash....$4,173 20 Liabilities yet to be paid 2,170 04 Total expenses. $6,343 24 Of this sum we have received 1,919 90 Excess paid out, over receipts $4,423 34 On examining our books we find the araount due .*.....6,200 66 Profit, after paying expenses $778 32 If the above amount could be collected, we would be enabled to pay off all liabilities and realize a profit of $777.32. And when it is known that $3 per page is the price for articles published in the Tttviaw the reader mnst. see that the work can be easily sustained if those who receive it will forward thsir dues. The amount of $5,200 60 found to be due does not include arrearages prior to the year just closing, and hence, wo are encouraged to go on if the subscribers to the Review now in arrears will do us the justice by remitting at an early period tbe sums due by them for the work delivered last year including the numbers shortly to be delivered. We are not asking alms. We simply entreat those who have not paid to do so, and we will endeavor to carry on the Review under the conviotion that the people of the South will ultimately determine to support, liberaly, the only work of its character now issued in the South.?Carolina. Times* THE MORMONS. This eccentric sect of religionists, are at present exciting considerable interest, owing to the attempt of the Government to supplant the redoubtable Brigham Young. The Mercury thus discourses on the merits of this vexed question, and we think, justly concludes that we should deal kindly with them. The Mormons might as well have Utah as the Yankees. Polygamy is preferable to "Free Love," a hypocritical clergy, Abolitionism, and the various other "isms" of the North, But hear what the Mercury says : "What between grasshoppers, artificial irrigation polpgamy, and a spice of open rebellion, the Mormons have become the subject of grave discussion, and the topic promises to become a sufficiently fruitful source of disquiet to the new Administration. Many leading journals violently urge the President to put down this miscreant community by the bayonet, and a "little more grape, Capt. Bragg." They are oblivious of the memorable instructions of the celebrated writer on cooking, in treating on the serving up of a -rout?"First?you catch the fish." Now, Col. Steptoe was in command of a respectable division of the United States Army, stationed in Utah. Ho has the reputation of being a gallant and capable man. He had been in the Territory long enough thoroughly to understand the power and temper of the Mormon leaders, and the opinion of the people. He, norlinrta hotter tl?on ftnv ntlinr man ?n tiift ftrmv. knew what would be the difficulties and the chances of a contest between the Mormons and the United States. He was tendered the appointment of Governor of the Territory by President Pierce, on the expiration of the term of Brigham Young.? He declined the "appointment without hesitation, and he has scarcely left a conjecture that he did so, because that he believed it impossible to carry out the wishes of the Government against the fanatic sentiment ef this singular people. Is the case any better now ? It is, undoubtedly, possible, by an enormous expenditure, to concentrate a large body of troops in Utah than that which was under the command of Col. Steptoe.? It is undoubtedly, also possible for the United States to subjugate and destroy this poor colony of eccentric religionists, but we are accustomed to demand that the expenditure of life, treasure, and time, on a grand scale, shall have some object proportionate in magnitude to the sacrifice. There is a desert plain, terminating in complicated chains of mountains, which must be passed before Utah can be touched. The passes of these mountains may be easily held by small bodies of men against ten times their number. Every thing ; for the support of the army must be forwarded over this desert and mountain region. If they are defeated, they have r.o possibility of retreat; if ! they are successful, they are left without subsistence?for it is the peculiar agriculture of the i Mormons that alone can supply the necessaries of ! life in the desert regions of Utah. To conquer them is to acquire a desert; to as! sail them, with the best appointed force, is to rnn the extreme peril of deieat and foul disaster. As to the moral question, which some of our : cotemportirics dwell upon with passionate carnest ness, we think the less said the better. Whenever we recall the history of Sodom, we involuntarily locate it on the banks of the Potomac. There are unclean practices elsewhere than in the City of ' the Desert, by the great Salt Lake. Let us be I merciful, especially as we shall probably save much I money by our forbearance. The Agriculture of the United States.? The territory of the United States extends over an | area of tnore than 2,300,000 square miles. Its 1 extreme length is nearly 2,700, miles, and its | greatest breadth 1,600 miles. Its general shape i may be considered a parallelogram 2,400 miles by ; 1,800. The value of our harvest in the year 1850 j exceeded 1,000,000,000. At that time there were i 112,000,000 acres under cultivation, and 180,- i 000,OuO more were included within the limits of farms, in all 293,000,000. This falls short by only some 80,000,000 acres of the amount of improved lands within the limit of the four great European realms?Brittain, France, Austria and ; Prussia. Wholesale Counterfeiting in Turkey.?A letter from Constantinople, of March 26th, says that the police of that city have discovered a Scutarian-establishment for forged bank notes. They found false paper representing an amount of 600,000 piastres, each note being either for 10 or 20 I piasters. Two Armenians in the building irere caught in the very act of manufacturing them.? The police have ascertained that the firm have carried on business for at least a whole year, and our readers may hence form some conception as to the quantity of bad notes which must be in circulation somewhere. These forgers possess large estates, good houses richly furnished, and other valuables. Dr. N'ott. ' ' We learn directly from Dr. J. C. Nott, of our city, that the Professorship of Anatomy, in the University of Louisiana, has been tendered to him, and that he has accepted the appointment. The duties commence early in November, at which time the Doctor will remove to New Orleans. If any thing can compensate for the loss we sustain by his removal, it is the broader -field afforded by his new position for the exercises of those powers which have so .long adorned the profession of medicine nnd made national the name of Mobile. Many, however, we know, will refuse this solace, ^ for the Doctor has become a part of every house- % hold he has entered, and his departure will fall like a personal bereavement."?Mobile Register. Expenses of Newspaper PcnusHiKa.?The Boston Journal, referring to the greatly increased expense of publishing a newspaper compared with what it was ten years ago, says that the expenses of that office are not far from $160,000 jet annum. Among the leading items are white paper, $70,000; salaries, &c., $60,000 { telegraphing, $3000; printer's ink, $2500, Add to these, rent, ruei, gas, renewal 01 type, aepreciauon 01 material, correspondence, &c., and the total expense incurred in carrying on such a paper is scarcely less than the som mentioned, $160,000. Army Testimonial to Gen. Quitmab.?The officers of the United States Army intend to present Gen. Quitman a servico of silver plate, for his efforts in securing the passage through Congress of the bill making an addition to their salaries. Gen. Quitman, it will be remembered, was the chairman of the House .Military Committee. Gen. Scott has written him a very handsome letter, announcing that as the senior officor, he has consented to act as tbeorgan of his brother officers of the army in procuring the proposed testimonial. A. H. Douglass, Esq., was unanimously elected on Tuesday, to fill the'office of Mayor of J Memphis, mode vacant by the death of Mr. Car- 1 roll. Daring the meeting of Council a resolution was adopted, to the effect that the Board .of Aldermen should receive the civic authorities of this city at the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Depot.? Charlaton paper. Population of Washington Citt.?According to the official figures, there are 8,600 voters in the city of Washington, the national 'capital.' This represents a population of some 90,000 sonls, a fact which shows that the place increases much more rapidly than has been generally supposed. When the census of 1860 shall be taken, the aggregate will no doubt exceed one hundred thousand. A New Railroad.?The Commissioners of the New State House have resolved; toconstrnct a Railroad from the building to thtTQuarry at Granby. This will prove to be a great saving in the construction of the building and at the same time afford employment to mechanics now unemployed. Carolina Timet.

Mrs. A. has left an afflicted husband and fonr small children to mourn a loss, the full extent of which the future alone will enable them to realize. The deceased was one of those quiet, retiring characters, whose worth cau be known only to those who have access to the privacy of the domestic circle. She was an affectionate wife and a devoted mother. Early in life, she had publicly consecrated herself to the service 0f her Saviour; and the evidence she gave of her sincerity, was a consistent life. The most striking characteristics M of her piety, were humility, and a conscientious W discharge of the duties of the Christian. She ^ was a patient and cubmiasive sufferer. And though desiring to live for the sake of her dear family; yet the announcement that death was at the door, occasioned neither surprise or alarm.? /
