THE REVIEWS.
The annual reviews have passed off in a manner
more note-worthy than usual. We have never
seen a more lively spirit manifested, or a more
earnest endeavor on the part of those entrusted
with command, to discharge the duties which their
positions impose; and consequently, all parties
hare never, in our day, acquitted themselves
more agreeably and handsomely. Our commendations
are, of course, not to be taken without
qualification; for, the many atfd glaring imperfections
of onr militia system forbid more than an
honest effort to approach, in some degree, the
standard whioh ought to mark the conduct of a
well-organized citizen-soldiery. We do not expeot
the erect bearing, the measured tread, the
prompt movement, the mathematical exactness,
and the tried skill of the veteran. We look for a
becoming spirit, an honest discharge of duty as
far as possible, and only for that meagre training
whiob our system permits. When these are ex-1
hibited, we are content; and when they are carried
to the utmost, we are gratified and enoouraged
to hope for the future. And these are the I
feelings proper to as after witnessing the reviews
at Ebenezer and at Yorkville.
With, perhaps, a single exception, the Indian
Land Regiment is the best trained in the Brigade;
and their Colonel, Allison, who has made of the
science a life-time study, is the most admirable
drill-officer within our acquaintance. The performances
at Ebenezer were in keeping with this
enviable reputation. In the upper Regiment, Col.
Fitchett and his Majors were comparatively untried
; and yet their evolutions on the day of review
were equal to any we have seen on their
parade-ground. This is unstinted praise, but it
is well deserved. Much of the effect of the day's
performances, however, was contributed by Maj.
Jenkins' beautifully trained corps of Cadets.?
Nothing can exceed the order, the regularity of
movement, the exact discipline, in a word, the
thorough military bearing, of the King's Mountain
Corps. We imagine their training is as perfect as
the science can make it, and we would look for
nothing superior in the ranks of a veteran company.
These young soldiers are to u9, for their
age and opportunity, a veritable wonder !
Our popular and efficient General was, as in duty
bound, promptly at his post, exhibiting his accustomed
interest in the service, and by his manly
and bigh-toned bearing and thorough accomplishments
as an officer winning the golden opin'
ions of both rank and file. We regret to learn
that he contemplates a resignation of his commis
sion, and we here, in the name of onr portion of
the Brigade, most emphatically protest against it.
We are not often fortunate enough to obtain a
cammanding officer who, besides possessing in a
high degree the accomplishment which pertain
specially to the military war, exhibits so eminently
the tone and bearing of that most enviable
character?the well-bred gentleman ; it is a public
loss to be deprived of the services of such an
offioer. We trust that a sober second thought
will persuade the General to extend the offices
which are so entirely acceptable and satisfactory
to those under bis command, and to afford them
the opportunity to confer upon him the higher rewards
which he has earned and ought to wear.
In his address to the Regiment, the General
stated his reasons for ordering the parade at
Yorkville rather than at a moro central point,
and we presume they were sufficient to satisfy the
most complaining. Tho soldier chooses the best
ground, the most advantageous position possible;
and as the only possible parade-ground was at
Yorkville, of course the conclusion was inevitable.
In view of this difficulty, his suggestion ought to
be heeded. The Regiment ought to buy their
own parade-ground, have it well chosen and kept
in first-rate repair. It can be had at a trifling
cost?an amount which can easily be secured by
subscription. We hope Col. FrrcnETT will carry
out this suggestion forthwith, while the spirit is
hi motion. r?It
was a point with us, while attending the Reviews,
to elicit the sentiment of the officers in regard
to the contemplated reforms in the system.
Without a dissentive voice they, regard the present
system as furnishing the only proper method
of securing the end in view, and to render it more
efficient, they think, should be the object of legislation.
And they propose that the Legislature
shall require the commissioned and non commissioned
officers of each Battalion to go into camp
once a year for drill and instruction: and subse- j
quently, every year, each Regiment to undergo,
as a body, the same process?thus affording ample
opportunity for those in command to acquire that
thorough training without which it is impossible
to attaain the desiped result. With well trained
officers, the system can be madr efficient enough
for all practical purposes. The reform proposed
would render necessary a considerable outlay
from the public treasury; but we are inclined to
think that the hitherto meager appropriations to
the militia-organization furnish the real clue to
the failure of the system, and that no change will
be effected until the State consents to supply material
aid to the work.
At the close of the reviews, at Ebenezer, and in
Yorkville, the crowd were addressed by our Representative
in Congress, Hon. W. W. Boyce. Other
duties prevented us from hearing either of
these addresses, and we have not been ablev as
usual, to procure an abstract.
MR. BOYCE'S SPEECH.
The Charleston Mercury published in rxtenxo the
speech of our Representative at Ebenezer, last
Thursday. We have not space for the entire production
; and, besides, we presume that those amongst
us who were desirous of beiug informed
of Mr. B's opinions, improved the opportunity afforded
them at the Reviews.
We subjoin, however, that portion of the address
which is of special interest at the present
juncture?embodying our Congressman's opinion
in regard to "Intervention," and the "Re opening
of the Slave Trade." He thinks that the Territorial
question is merely speculative ; "because, the
Territories"open to settlement are impossible to
slavery;" and he adds:?
"True statesmanship consists in the pursuit of
the practical, for government is a practical affair.
As we can gain nothing practical by the most ardent
and successful pursuit of this question, I
??IMi
think it is wise in us to dispose of it for the present
by leaving it where the Constitution and the
Bred Scott decision now plaoe it. We have the
decision of the Supreme Court asserting our right
to take our slaves into territories. We have all the
remedies known to the common law for the protection
of this property in territories. These
may be amply sufficient. If so, then there is no
necessity for further legislation. If these remedies
prove insufficient, then we can insist npon
such farther action by the Federal Government as
may be necessary to attain the purpose deBired.?
For the present we can safely leave the question
where the constitution and the decision of the
Supreme Court leave it. This was as I understood
it precisely the position taken by Mr. Calhoun,
when he said: 'They (the Southern States) are willing
to leave the whole subject, where the constitution
and the great and fundamental principle
of self government place it.' Suoh too, if I comprehend
it corretly, is the position taken by Senator
Davis, of Mississippi, on a recent occasion.
As regards the revival of the African slave trade,
I think It is a most unfortunate issue, Being
clearly impossible iu the Union, I cannot see what
good can possibly result from its agitation. Besides,
the tendenoy of this agitation is to divide
and distract the South, when, and above all things,
we need unity, harmony and concert of action at
the South. But if these considerations are ton
conclusive, I think the objections to the revival of
the African slave trade insuperable. To .go no
farther, we now have 4,000,000 of slaves. In
twenty-five years we will have 8,000,000; in fifty
years we will have 16,000.000; in seventy five
years we will have 32,000,000. Surely, in the
face of such an increase as this, in periods no short
to a nation, we are under no necessity to plunge
into the ocean of difficulties which will have to be
overcome, to add to our slave population by new
importations.

at the depot in the course of a month.
Parson Brownlow is on a visit to the Virginia
Springs. "He has almost entirely lost his
voice, but he says he intends to raise it against
Locofocoism as long as he can, and "when he can
no longer speak, he intends to make a month at the
rascally concern!" Bruised onions, either
top or root, is said to be a cure for the sting of
insects. A tobaconist at Cincinnati says that
be sells upwards of two hundred pounds ofenuffin
the course of a month to ladies (?) who chew it in
lieu of the weed in the leaf state. Barrow, the
Chinese traveler, computes that there is more
material in the great wall of China, than in all the
houses of England and Scotland combined. As
the national census will be taken next year, it is
suggested that the farmers of the country keep
an accurate record of the amount and value of
their crops for the present year, so that when they
are called upon, they may be able to make a reliable
report. Advices from Washington,
state that Attorney General Black, is in receipt

was launched at Memphis last week by Boiiles,
Wilson & Co. The hull is 385 feet in length and
30 feet in width, and is intended to carry 8,400
tons of ice. Iowa, which had but 100,000
population in 1846, has now 600,000?an unparalleled
increase.
The highest mountain in the world is Mount

car $2000; a baggage car $1500; a freight
car $650 , a gravel car $450. The iron of a railroad
costs from $5000 to $8000 per mile.
A short time ago, a lady advertised in the London
Times for a housekeeper, and received upwards
of 2.000 replies, 500 of which came to hand
by the first delivery. The policy that can
strike only while the iron is hot, will be overcome
by the perseverance that can make the iron hot
by striking. The proprietor of a patent medicine
in Pittsburg, Pa., offered Bonner, of the
Ledger, one thousand dollars for one column of
advertising. Bonner refused, of course. No
poultice has ever yet been discovered, that draws
out a man's virtues so fully, as the green sod
which covers his grave. Perseverance will
often carry a man through life, even if he is without
talent. The Salisbury Banner says
Greensboro (N. 0.) Female College is crowded to
I its utmost capacity. The new bell recently
cast in Columbia, for the market, gives entire satisfaction.
The greater a man is, the less he
necessarily thinks of himself; for his knowlege
enlarges with his attainments.
CHESTER CORESPOXDEXCE.
Chester, Sept. 6. 1859.
We bad a fair representation of the planters of
j our District, in town, on yesterday, in attendance
on the meeting of the District Agricultural Society.
Mr. McAliley held forth for nn hour, on
his favorite subject, scolding the people for their
want of enterprise and skill in cultivating the
soil. Mr. McAmley makes a good speech, in
his own way, nnd relates in a very forcible manner
much of his own experience, and what he has |
seen in others. He is a strong advocate of the
use of guano and deep ploughing. He has experimented
largely in guano and deep snbsoiling,
j and reports perfect success with both. Many of
our planters are following his example, and, as I
learn, with advantage.
know one man, who bought three tons of Peruvian
euano, and who speaks confidently of re
! alizinga profit of four-fold on the cost of the ar1
ticlc. His old lands, which were considered almost
worthless, will yield six or eight hundred
pounds of cotton to the acre, with the U9e of about
130 lbs. of guano. Others do not report so
favorably. Some indeed, pronounce it a humbug,
j but so few join this latter class, that it seems fair
1 to attribute their failure to the want of skill in
I preparing the land and applying it.
The District Society here, from someuuaccoun;
table reason, seems to take a slow start. A great
| many planters have the vanity to think that they
; arc too smart to learn anything more. Some say,
that those who pretend to teach them, know very
little themselves ; and they would prefer depend|
ing upon their own knowledge, obtained by prac1
tice, than to adopt the theories of "book farI
mers."
I once heard a pretty good story of one of those
men who oppose Agricultural Associations. He
was spoken to and advised tojoin the. Society. He
objected, for the reasoo, as he said, that "most of
the members had to buy corn." "Well," said ^e
member, "we do sometimes have to buy, but it
seems that you and those who charge us with this
misfortune, never have any to sell; and, besides
| this, we are ready to acknowedge, that we are npt
[ perfect in the art of making corn and want inforI
mation, and that is one reason for forming an association
Those who are already so wise, as you
seem to be, might make good teachers. So come
along, and if you cannot learn anything, give us
the benefit of your skill. You are the sort of
members we want." I believe he joined the Society
about a year afte rwards.
We have, in this District, one of the oldest Agricultural
Sooieties in the State. The "Pish ing
Creek Society" has been in existence for n;ar
twenty years, and I believe they have scarcely
laoked a quorum of members since its organization.
It is now in a flourishing condition. Their
anniversary meeting was held in August. L. W.
Speatt, Esq., of Charleston, delivered their Anniversary
Address, which was well received, and
will be published.
I notice that your District can boast of trvro
good associations?the "Indian Land" and the
"King's Mountain"?the former of which, however,
is an off-shoot of the Fishing Creek Society.
May they all continue to prosper and do good.
Chester District has lost a most valuable citizen.
Bubr Raosdals, Esq., died on the second
instant. He suffered severely, for several weeks.
He will be much missed. Requiescat in pace.
Our District continues to be very healthy.
We had a good rain last evening, which has
cooled the atmosphere very much. Tiie thermometer
stood at 86? yesterday, at 2 o'clock, p.
m.; this morning, at 8 a. m., it is at 66?.
I suppose you were favored, as we were, last
week, with an extra display of light. I was called,
at half-past one. to witness the peculiar
brightness on a moonless night. I could see the
bands of my watch, with but one window of my
chamber open, and distinctly tell the time of night.
I watched the changes for an hour, which seemed
to take plaoe both in hue and locality. At first,
the most brilliant and deepest tinge of cherry j
oolor, was stretched from East to West?much '
the deeper towards the West?but the whole
canopy was one bright mellow light. There wns [
& softness and a general spread of light, unlike !
either moon or sun-light. There were no shadows ;
?light seemed to exist everywhere alike. Those :
sound sleepers who were so unfortunate as net to
witness this interesting phenomenon, can never
know what they missed.
We have, as yet, no transactions to report in
our cotton market. One bale of the new crop was
sold on yesterday, 5th instant, by Maj. Jiesse
Cobswell, for 11J cents per pound.
The late growth of the plant, prevents thj early
maturing of the bolls.
Nothing doing in grain of any kind.
Gunny Bagging is selling at 15J cents by the
bale?16 cents for a less quantity. Bale Rope,
from 11 t(*12J cents. J.

"RUBY" AT THE FASCY BALL.
After an unwonted silence, "Ruby" comes again,
trying to describe one of the most brilliant and
beautiful scenes which has ever delighted his ru-'
by-colored eyes, or pleased his pleasure losing
soil. Glenn Springs has been rendered more j
than ever delightful by the late Costume Ball, j
which was a complete success. There had not
been more than ten days previous notice, so every
thing iras gotten-op wry hurriedly, but very beau- j
tifully and sumptuously. Mr. Simmoks, the gentlemanly
proprietor of the hotel, did all that '
was in his power, and the Senior and Junior*!
Managers combined tbeir most strenuouj exertions '
to make everything pass off rightly and well.? J
Nothing oocurred to mar the festive joys, and j
every one, I hope and know, was gratified and j
delighted ; and among the most pleasant reminis-1
cences of after years, will be the remembrance
nf tbo fpur and shnrt. bnthdnnv hours, which were !
wi *uv ,w" " *" rrJ ?
spent in the Ball Room at Glenn Springs, when
youthful hearts beat high, and joy illumined every
eye, and mirth and gaiety, as was their right, controlled
the hour.
As the appointed hour npproached, the crowd
in the ante-rooms was immense, but all seemed to
have determined to have a good time ; so no one
appeared to be inconvenienced. Old Joe Randall
?who solong and well has done duty as a discoursor
of sweet music?was present, accompanied by
his band, who performed their parts most creditably;
and to the sounds of a fine march, the company
entered the ball room. And here came the
Spanish Duchess, stately aod queenlike in her
dignity, for none who ever dressed in royal robes
ever stepped with finer form or statelier grace.?
Then the Gypsey Girl, with her bright black eyes, '
whose light illumined a lovely face, and whose ,
flashings were but scintillations from the fire
which burns on the altar of truth within her soul.
And then Cleopatra, in her gorgeous attire, a fit
representative in face, and in dress, of .Antony's
fair enslaver. With a "ship a-hoy" and a "hullo
my hearties," came the Admiral, with his attendant
master's mate; both in most appropriate
costume and supporting their characters most admirably.
Ellen Douglass, in the beautiful Scotch
costume, bore herself as became a Caledonian I
maid, and the fair Ellen herself, cou'd she havo
returned and beheld her representative, might
have been proud of her successor. Then came
the Spanish Grandee in the richest and best appointed
costume which was worn. Then the Duke
D'Argivus came, and the Polish Hussar, in the j
magnificent uniform of that corps, and the Black
Sluggard, slothful only in name, for had you seen
him tread the dance and "fly around" the ladies,
you would have pronounced him quite the reverse.
Now let us pay our respects to the Spanish lady
equalling, if possible, the Duchess in her beauty
and grace, and whose eyes shone as though they
had caught their light from stars reflected in the
Guadalquiver. Then we salute Lady Gay Sps.nker
in her riding dress, nnd as gay and graceful as her
prototype. And then came Evening and the Evening
Star, and sure, with such an evening and such
a star, this earth has never before been blest.; for
quiet loveliness and radiant beauty were then beheld
in sweet companionsip. Now see a graceful
I pair of Tyrolcse, Amina and Elvine, with lightsome
step and joyous smiles they pass us by, and
we remove our caps and bow before the fair Bohemian
Girl, as ever, peerless among a throng of
beauties. Pure as the lilies which as white as
snow do blossom on her brow is her soul, and
warm as the roses which bloom upon her cheeks
is her loving heart. Beauty, Love and Purity,
combine to form a rich diadem for their Queen.?
Now comes the blushing Pink Rose, the Queen of

sweetness on the desert air, for wherever she goes
she sheds a genial influence, and the kindest

VIRGINIA CORRESPONDENCE.
Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, 1
. . August, 1869. - /
Mr. Editor : Although the cacrrthes scribendi is
not upon me to-night, and one's mood has much
to do with the success of one's undertating, yet
I shall venture to give your readers a few items of
travel; pcradventure they will interest some of
tbem. You are aware tuat it is quite lasnionaoie
now-a-days to travel, and equally so to write about
one's travels?indoed, he is scarcely esteemed
a traveled gentleman, who does not publish to
the world what he saw and heard and inferred ;
and whilst our European tourists are doing so upon
a large scale, may not an humble individual,
whqse latitude is nearer home, imitate the example?
His expatiations may not be in regions
immortalized by painter, sculptor and poet?he
may not essay to describe classic spots, or philosophize
upon noted historic events, yet there may
be scenes and incidents in the course of his less
extensive travels, which would interest those who
can say, with enough of Inspiration begotten by
the grandeur of scenery, and the chafms of refined
society,
"This is my own, my native land 1"
In company with a much esteemed and evergood-natured
friend, and his amiable lady, from
South Carolina, your correspondent left his home
in the patriotic old towj> of Charlotte, for a trip to
some of the noted watering-places in Virginia;
and here he is, amid the wild scenery of the mountains,
rendered more striking by the contrast
formed by the artistic arrangements of this pleasant
and popular resort. The travel'from Charlotte
to this place, is not by any means as tiresome as
it is on several other routes, for the simple reason,
that it is expeditious. Both on the North Carolina
and Virginia Railroads, you arc apprised of
the fact, that you ere propelled by steam. There
is no dallying to kill time?an unpardonable hom
icide?and no opportunity afforded to pick blackberries
(T plums, when these fruits are in season.
Too much accommodation on a Railroad amounts
to a bore. Besides this, at least on the Virginia
roads, though yon may have several changes of
cars to make, yet there is not the least necessity
to be solicitous about your baggage, for the proper
officer, just before arriving at the points of
connexion, takes your checks, and places others
in your hands, so that you may make yourself perfectly
easy with respect to the safety of your luggage.
Departing from Charlotte at 1 o'clock, A.
M., we arrived at Richmond, the same day at about
6 o'clock, P. M., having traveled a distance
of 800 miles or more; and leaving the latter place
at 5} o'clock, A. M., we found ourselves here, at
6 o'clock, P. M.t having come 180 miles. We
spent a day at the capital of the Old Dominion,
but in consequence of incessant rain, the pleasure
of a stroll through the city, was not enjoyed. We
saw enough, however, to confirm what has often
been said of its remarkable beauty. It is situated
on a considerable eminence, and surrounded by
the James River ; the principal streets are wide,
and paved with stone, like Broad street in Charleston,
and many of the buildings arc large, elegant
and imposing. We were particularly struck
with one of them?the Custom House, a magnificent
structure of polished granite. The State
House stands upon the summit of the hill, rather
an ordinary building, but towering above the rest,
and commanding a view which seems to accord
with its character. The adjoining grounds are
the attraction and admiration of travelers. Tourists
from Europe have pronounced them incomparable
in point of locality and beauty. Here, IIoudon's
celebrated statue of the 'Father of his Country'
may be seen ; the bost likeness extant, it is
said, of the immortal patriot. When La Fayette
visited it, during his memorable tour through this
country, he was so struck with the accuracy ol
-> il.I l... --.I
me reprtrsemuiiuu, unit u?; v.\timuicu cuiuusiumically,
'This is Washington !' 'This is my friend !'
It was the only one lie saw, while in America,
which he regarded as faultless.
At Richmond, we took the Danville train in the
morning, at 51 o'clock, and traveled several hours
before arriving at the "Junction," where a barbarous
breakfast was the remuneration for earlj
rising, and traveling upon an empty stomach.?
And by the way, why is it that hotels will nol
furnish a breakfast, not even a warm eup of cof
fee, for travelers, who have to leave, say at 5 oi

troublesome, but the object of a hotel is to nc
commodate the public. But then, there arc th<
Rail road eating houses. They are ?for the publit
good,' and notwithstanding the fare which th<
majority of these establishments provide, is ai
war with their pretensions, yet, I suppose, th<
Spanish proverb holds good, "Change of pasturi
make fat calves." We found the "Exchange," a
Richmond, in size and garniture, and charges, ti
approximate what it professes to be, a first-clasi
Hotel, but not altogether entitled to the epithet ii
the culinary department. After paying as much
if not more than you would at the Astor or St
Nicholas, in New fork, the only "speed" whicl
the "parting guest" receives, is his being hurrie<
off at 5 o'clock, with a positive refusal to give hin
his breakfast. Having been reared under tho in
fluence of low-country habitudes, I am not strongh
| inclined either to early rising or early breakfast

Dr. Hall, in his Journal of Health, gives to travelers
the following wholesome advice: "Do noi
commenco a day's travel before breakfast, ever
if it has to be eaten at day-light. Dinner or sup
per, or both, can be more healthfully dispensec
' with, than a good warm breakfast."
The Petersburg and Lynohburg (South Side, |

the State. Now sweeping around, and then pass
ing oyer, hills of great altitude, and then penetra

more gratified with an ever-shifting panorama o
charming landscapes. Mountains and valleys,
brooks and vcrdnre, were here continually invi
ting the gaze, whilst here and there, upon the 3am
mit of a mountain, or ,in_ a fertile valley, a cot
tage, with its out-buildings painted white, an<
partially concealed by the surrounding trees, sug
gestcd the pleasing idea of thrift and comfort.?
In this respect, it seems, that the peasant^ o

Jfr. Editor-: I hereby authorize you to act a!
"Ornithologist" for the man of the Mercury, in (

We have now, another candidate, up or out, foi
the Mayoralty. Col. Carew, once an Editor ant
a Senator?more recently Sheriff of Chariest^
district. So, we may have a triangular race,
have no particular objection to either. The solit
interests and fair fame of the good old city would
be safe in the keeping of any one of them.
We had a fire on Sunday morning, next doo
South of the Mill's House. The firemen did thei
duty and arrested it on the spot. A few hundrei
dollars damage was realized by the clothing estab
lishment in the first story, and an outlay of re
freshments for the firemen, by the host of th
Mill's House, which will not be a loosing business
The firemen's service is invaluable, and the de
, partment is well organized and well worked ; bu
if you bad one of the companies' head-quarter
just at your door, as is our case, you would thinl
that the elements comprising it were partly fron
' bedlam, and partly from "the army in Flanders.1

"REUCHLIN" AND REV. XV. C. DAVIS.
j number one.
3 Mr. Editor:?I have already informed yon, <
i my purpose to notice the article of "Reuchlin,
t , which was copied in the Enquirer of last weel
8 j and which "originated in the fact that some ne
8 books have lately made their appearance in tli
t upper part of South Carolina," viz : "Lectures o
j Paul's Epistles to the Romans, and the Hebrew:
si with critical notes and observations, by Rev. V
i! C. Davis."
, i I have refrained, thus long, from noticing th
. | criticism, hoping that some other would reply 1
i | it, and from another consideration, which it is n<
1 necessary to explain here. But as there ai
i "matters" in the article of "Reuchlin" which
- think should not remain unnoticed, I hope yo
f will permit me to say some things with referent
to it through the columns of your paper, whic
, is published "in the upper part of South Carol
I shall not pretend to say what motives promp- f
ted "Reuohlin" to write his article, bat'I can say ^
t that the spirit which is manifested in it is, in my j
> judgment, by no means a lovely one. Bat aside
from this, he has been led into some errors, in
1 point of fact, which I feel persuaded lie, as a lover
of troth, must regret. In noticing the Lectares,
"Reachlin" "raises," and remarks upon
i three questions.
f 1. ''Who is the Rev. W. C. Davis7" J
In his "remarks" in answer, he takes occasion 1
- to make a personal, as well as a professional at- *
i tact, on the memory of Rev. Wm. C. l)avis, who *
f is now dead?who was an aged minister of the 1
gospel of Jesus Christ?and who spent a long life "
- in the service of his Lord and Master. He says (
of Mr. Davis, that he was "given to metaphysical }
speculations?had no small share of vanity and i
1 dogmatism, stubbornness and ambition to be sin- |
gular and great?erratic in his course?had great ]
- fondness, even mania, for authorship?and. that 1
f ho was guilty of s btle quibblings and evasions" y
- in the progress of his trial before the jndicatories
1 of the cbureh for alleged "erroneous doctrines." *
f Now, Mr. Editor, I hold it to be a settled fact '
~ ' L * 9 (
that no where within the lids of these "new books,
4
s is "Reuchlin" warranted thus to speak to the
prejudice of the memory of this venerable minis- ^
? ter, whose body has long been resting in the grave. '
He has not even hinted to us that he here finds 4
1 authority for his unkind and uncalled-for denun)
ciation of the dead. His attack, therefore, I hold
> to have been unprovoked, and unwarrantable.?
But, inasniuch as we have only his wordR for what j
1 he baa thus said, I will let it go for what it is J
- worth. .
In speaking of Mr. Davis, in his professional j
3 capacity as a minister of the gospel, "Reuchlin"
i says: "He began to be charged in 1807, with i
holding and preaching erroneous doctrines"? J
- that "after a complicated routine of citations 1
) and trials on the part of Presbyteries and Synod, t
and of subtle quibblings and evasions on bis part,
3 the matter was referred by appeal to the General ^
Assembly in 1810"?that "Mr. D. declared himt
self no longer a member of the Presbytery, or of
r the Presbyterian Church, although not having yet
. been either dismissed, or had sentence passed (!) J
l upon him ; but was still under censure of charges
i pending"?that "he was suspended in April 1811, <
i and in Ootober following, was solemnly deposed
3 from the gospel ministry." In the conclusion of j
j his paragraph, he says these "are all matters of j
3 church history." In proof of "aft" these allega- '
r tions, he cites the authorities of "Baird's Digest, j
t pp. G46 & 7; Sprague's Annals of the American i
r Pulpit, vol. 4, pp. 123 & 4, and Church records." 1
i He has not quoted the words of these, his authoti
itics, for the benefit of bis readers, bat hM only
. cited certain printed books, or mannscripts. The t
t .sum is, we have only his words for these also ; '
f and I will also let this pass for what it is worth J
. as evidence, viz: nothing. <
I may state here, that the historical facts which i
will be presented as I proceed, are taken princi- '
j pally from a small work, entitled "A Solemn.Ap- |
peal to an impartial Public" by W. C- Davis.? i
3 This "Appeal" was published soon after the events '
1 occurred; it was generally circulated throughout j
the community, and remained uncontradicted.? <
Inasmuch, as no one dared to contradict the state- <
3 ments made, whilst there wore many living witnesses
to establish tbelr truth, it is certainly too ^
r late now, to object to the testimony given. This
* " Appeal V is still before the public, and I commend ]
1 it to all who wish to know the troth in this mat- 1
* ter. i
1 * '
1 I readily grant, Mr. Editor, that Mr. Davis J
' "began to be charged in 1807 with holding and
preaching erroneous doctrines," and that on these
r he was tried by his own Presbytery. " The tree
r record is, that whilst the Presbytery, in their de*
cision, condemned the doctrines as erroneous,
they considered them as not striking at the vitals
of religion, and not likely to do much bam, and,
8 therefore, they judged them as not inferring sus*
pension, but only judged Mr. Davis worthy of a
" rebuke for rashly preaching those doctrines before
* he had consulted his brethren. But I deny that
8 ho was ever afterwards lawfully tried, inPresbyte
4 ries or Synod, on the charge of'preaching "erro11
neons doctrines" where he used "subtle quibblings
and evasions," and I challenge "Reucblin" for the
proof of these, in the authorities he has cited.
After Mr. Davis was tried and acquitfed by his
^ Presbytery (the First Presbytery of South Caro*
iina) as I have shown above, the Synod of the
0 Carolines took up the trial witfumt any reference
0 or appeal from the Presbytery, (which the Synod
' had no right to do) and referred the case to the
1 General Assembly. Mr. Davis protested against
this reference, and appealed to the Assembly.?
* The Assembly sustained his appeal, thus virtually
r approving and confirming the judgment of the
First Presbytery of South Carolina.
8 In regard to the teachings of Mr. D., "Reuch>
lin" says : "until 1810, when the Assembly conB
demned eight doctrines taught in a book called the ,, i
'Gospel Plan' * * * and decided that he who
^ taught these errors should be dealt with by his "
' Presbytery, according to the discipline of the
'? church relativo to the propagation of errors."? '
Even in this, he does not give his r aders strictly
B correct history. - .
The Assembly do not say "condemn," they
"consider" some of the doctrines contrary to the 1
(J
Confession of Faith, and in regard to others, they
"consider" the mode of expression as nnhappy |
and calculated to mislead the reader. And they
1 "judge" and "declare" that the preaching or publishing
of these doctrines ought to .subjeot the 1
r person, or persons, so doing, to be dealt with by
3 their respective Presbyteries, &c., ?. for present
or future offences. It is not "decided" that
j Mr. Daris, specifically, should be dealt with by
his, the Concord Presbytery, for having preached
or printed these "doctrines." Theft, Mr. Editor,
' in so far as I have found, it is plain, even to a
I demonstration, that "Reuchlia" has trodden upon
uuballowed ground. He made a personal attack
on the memory of Mr. Davis, a dead old man,
when unprovoked, and has failed to afford even a
pretext for the same. lie made an attack on him,
in his professional capacity, and has him publicly
charged since 1807 with "erroneous doctrines,"
' without the credit to which he was entitled by his
D Presbytery, and makes him to have passed sue- |
cessfully through 1808 and 1809, and until May
1810, in contests with his Presbytery and Synod,
by no better means than "subtle quibblings and
evasions." And in these ho has afforded to us
1 not one particle of proof, but his assertion only.
lr The authorities he cites do not prove thas much,
and his boM and "dogmatic" assertion does not
make it so. JUSTITIA.

>f j Trouble among the Jews.?There is a Jewish
i> j Society in this city, and in that society there is or <
has been one Jewish Bible, the only one in the
; city. It is on parchment, and makes a bulk about
w 1 four feet long and a foot and a half high. It is a
1C ; bulky Bible of the mediaeval style of Bibles. It
. j seems to be a requirement of the Jewish discipline,
that every Jewish woman confined must be
3i ! confined on or over the Jewish Bible. It so hapJ.
| pened that on Friday night a Jewish wife was
; confined. Herman Levy, a Jew tailor of Congress-street,
set up a claim for it, swore out a
ls search warrant and recovered it.
ro This operation created considerable exciting
)t discussion among the Jews?and in one of the
.e debates, on Saturday afternoon, Julius Lawrenco,
a son-in-law of Levy, knocked one of the antiI
1 Levy Jews down. Lawrence was arrested by ofu
| ficer Hurlbut and taken to jail. Subsequently,
,e j Levy bailed him out; but shortly after Levy bim<
self was locked up on a charge of perjury, it being
set forth by the officers of the Seciety by affii
j davit that the Bible was the exclusive property of
