The District of Columbia has now a population of 75,000, having increased about one-third part in the last ten years. A late letter from the United States Commissioner of Pensions says that there are now but eighty-nine survivors of the army of the Revolution whose names were placed upon the rolls for pensions. During the year ending April 30, 1860, there were exported from China to the United States 31,661,426 pounds of tea. The exports of Great Britain for the same period amounted to 78,416,052 pounds. Many a man thinks it is a virtue that keeps him from turning a rascal, when it is only a full stomach. One should be careful and not mistake potatoes for principles.

An Irish journal asserts, that after the Prince of Wales returns from this country, he will take up his residence in Dublin, and that no other Viceroy will be appointed for Ireland until he ascends the throne. The latest Irish papers which have come to hand are unfavorable as to the potato harvest. A Limerick paper says the accounts from every district are disheartening, and the price per stone for sound potatoes has nearly doubled within a few days. The Shoe and Leather Reporter says that 213,083 cases of boots and shoes were shipped to the South duriog tbequarter eodiog 30th September, of which 92,463 were shipped directly to the slave States. Of this amount Georgia received 1,878 ; Alabama, 1,950 cases. Among the Democratic members of CoDgress, just elected in Indiana, is the Hon. D. W. Voorhees, whose great speech in behalf of Cook, condemned and executed at Charlestown, Va., gave him a national reputation as one of the most brilliant orators of the present day. There is to be a new cemetery at Havana, with a superb arch at the entrance. It is purposed to place the venerated remains of Columbus within the arch, in an urn, with a silver cover, upon which will be inscribed in letters of gold the results of his successful enterprise. A bronze statue of Columbus is to be erected near by. The Baoks refuse to discount even Cotton drafts all over the Southern country, payable after the first of November. This is the first impediment to commerce between the States as the earliest fruit of the "irrepressible conflict." That this will re act on the Northern cities, and indirectly on the working classes of the North, whose mechanical pursuits are sustained by the money of the South, requires no gift of prophecy to foretell.?Evening Ncics. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing from Conwayboro, S. C., says: "I know an "old gentleman, aged 73 years, having five sons, and all have fami lies. Not one of them has ever owned one dollar, ever took a drink of spirituous liquors, ever used profane language, ever was one hundred miles from home, ever wauted for anything, ever lost his vote in an jlec tion; all are Methodists and Breckinridge Democrats, and hate snakes and tobacco. The operations of the Gas Company have infused much life into the streets of our town.

When the Prince was seated in the car at Detroit, ready for his departure, an Irishman was observed giving vent to his feelings in a manner that showed that he was fairly overcome with enthusiasm. After showering a score of compliments on the Prince, he gave the coupde (jracc by swing?

The royal suite were greatly amused at this unexpected in vitation, and the Prince came near tumbling from bis seat in a paryoxysm of laughter. A volunteer company has recently been organized in Virginia, which we think is unmatched in material. It numbers fiftyfive, and of these fifty are in uniform.? Of the fifty, two are ministers of the gospel (one Baptist and oBe Methodist), two are deacoDS, two class-leaders, two lawyers, one doctor, one magistrate, two clerks of courts, two deputy clerks, forty professors of religion, fifteen who don't profess but are moral and religiously inclined, seven who pray in public, twenty-six Sons of Temperance, twenty-nine temperance men, and of these last mentioned a very few drink ardent i spirits at all?none of them excessively? and last, bat not least, they are all reliable and true.

The United States Senate which assembles in December and closes on the 4tb March, consists of thirty-six National or Administration Democrats, twenty-seven Republicans and two Douglas Democrats, with one vacany from Oregon. The new Senate will also consist of a majority of National Democrats, with a strong probability that in the House they will also have the controlling power for the next two years. The House which meets in December and adjourns on the 4th of March, contains an anti-Democratic majority. There is some aDDrehension that one _ JT t | or more States will secede in the event of i Lincoln's election ; and the question is ask- j ed, will they be coerced back again by 1 Federal power? Now, whilst we deprecate ( and oppose disunion and secession, so long i as the free States are suffered to nullify with 1 impunity the fugitive slave law, it would i be a somewhat dangerous experiment for \ them to attempt forcibly to retain a sece- 1 ding slave State.

P' 'The London Quarterly Review, in an article 3' upon cotton spinning machines and their invent- _ ors, thus illustrates the productiveness of brain p and hand, by showing what machinery now enables the cotton spinners to do with a pound of tr cotton Mr. Bnzley, of Manchester, exports E what is called No. 240 yarn in large quantities. for the use of the finest foreign muslin manufac tures. Of the fineness of this thread some idea 80 may be formed when we state that 240 hanks, In each 840 yards in length, are spun from a single pound weight of cotton, or a total length of above 114 miles! But this does not by any means ex- ?f haust the capabilities of English machinery ; for at the Great Exhibition of 1851, specimens of g( yarn spun at Bolton, were exhibited as fine as p; No. 700, or equal to 334 miles in length, spun front one pound of material! Worked up into the finer kinds of lace, the original shilling's- fil worth of cotton wool before it passes into the ]e hands of the consumer may be increased to the _ value of between 300/. and 400/." Here are a few facts which, if elaborated into ^ all deductions possible from them, would show ; us that the South has the resources for becom u ing the wealthiest and the mightiest empire on I" 8t the face of the earth. If simply the "raw maCI terial" which her cotton fields produce, makes her a ruling power among the nations, what would be her amazing strength and greatness, if her people would become a manufacturing as W well as an agricultural people. The conversion ^ of only one tenth of her great staple into the coarsest osnaburgs and calicos, would double its value to her. Its value would be quadrupled, if only one tenth again was made into cambrics, ginghams, and the finer calicos. Its value would be increased ten, a hundred and a thousand fold nt st respectively, if other tenths were converted iuto coarser and finer muslins, and thread lace. If 8t manufactories were extensively established with iu her borders, for the purpose of developing all ^ these resources of wealth and power to her, she might in the course of a few decades, sit as the 9" Empress of Commerce, and whiten every sea with her own snils, laden with the products of ^ her own looms and her own soil. In like manner, the arts which deal in metals, ^ wood, leather, granite, marble, &c., should re- 8 ' ceive her enterprising aud awakened attention. s* - _ - a m ^: ? c _.:?i.1 u ? tn Ueorgia UIIU rmnuu piuv lutcsis j leiu uie uesi ship timber in the world?it is said?which is sent to Europe in a rough state. The Duck Town and other copper mines send tons upon ?' tons of unwrought ore to the same destination. at The sugar mills of Louisiana send to the Yankee ** the sugar which is made into caudies of every ^ variety, and sent back to us with a tariff of two or three hundred per cent, attached to its origi- ^ nal value. And all the cotton States, without exception, send annually to the North and to Europe enough "raw cotton," which they might ' readily manufacture, to support at least three co or four times their present population. a Now, instead of exporting these raw products of our forests, mines and soil, it should be our policy to import brains and muscle to convert them into immediate uses here. Thousands of our poor- h? er white men, boys and girls, would thus find ce comparatively improving and remunerative era- Tl ployment. Industrious, hardy aud thrifty arti- br sans, meu of capital and enterprise, and men of M business taleut aud education, would come from N. abroad and settle among us. Every Btroke of by the hammer, whir of the spindle and puff of the an steam engine driving machinery for the manu- th acture of myriad different articles?Irora the tngine itself down to the simple spool of thread tr pocket knife?would add to our resources.? Che whole South would become a ringiug workbop, as well as a vast prolific region of cotton, ice and cane ; and no common calamity could prevent her from rising into a great, overshadiwing power; secure, prosperous and happy inder her own vine and fig tree, with none to nolest her or her institutions. Our course has been ruinously opposed to this >olicy. The immense, but not inexhaustible fertility of our soil, has fed and fattened an uncrupulou9 avarice, and a reckless spirit of ad renture. In this way we have emulated the oily of the infatuated widow in the fable, whose len laid the golden egg. Our soil lays the gollen egg, indeed; but it should not be gutted to ;et all its treasures at once. All other propery is transient; even the "almighty nigger" 'may die or run away": land alone is perma lent. Yet even this wears away under the irostrating system of a "run-mad" agriculture, hundreds of beautiful and noble farms in South Carolina and other Atlantic States?precious to hem as your heart's blood, reader, is to you? lave been cut down and worn into gullies?a )ie-bald desolation?by their owners, who, smit with the emigration fever, have gone West.? Westward the star of a short-sighted, unpatriotc avarice, and certain ruin to the South in the :nd, takes its way. This narrow policy of "cot;on, nigger, nigger, cotton" is simply suicidal. SVe must turn our attention more to manufacures and the mechanic arts, if we would not link down into a second or third rate people.? iVe cannot better conclude than by asking the ntelligeut reader to reflect upon the appended lentiment which has somehow waifed itself into iur sanctum : "In all civilized nations the political power las yielded to the sceptre of Commerce, and no lation in modern times has become commercial rithout the aid of manufactures ; and so surely .8 we follow up the system (wETch is advocated iy many as the true policy of the South) of re aainitig an exclusively agricultural people, neg ecting all other industrial occupations, and luying from others the commonest necessaries f life, and weariug out and exhausting our soil ,s fast as we can, so surely will we become vas als to some power. If we release ourselves rom one, we must immediately fall into the lands of another." COMBINE AND CONQUER. "The directors of the Scottish Temperance <eague have dispatched a deputation to France o make special inquiries as to the drinking cusoms of that country, to collect criminal and ther statistics bearing on that subject, and to htain reliable information in regard to the so iriety of the masses, and other points of interest learing on the pending question of a Wine Liense Bill for Scotland. The deputation carry rith them introductions from the most influen ial parties in Scotland to gentlemen in France of ,11 grades in the social scale." In imitation of the "League" of Scotland, the )rder of the Sons in South Carolina would do rell, at the coming meeting of its Grand Diision, to employ an Orator and place him in the eld, to canvass every District in the State and ecture for the good cause. Their combination lust produce fruits, to be available against inemperance One half-dollar from the pocket of very Son, would remunerate a lecturer for all is time during a year. What true member of be Order would not pay this willingly? We nnht nAt fho "r.pniriie" fnr nno nnhlio rmrnnse ~ w ???~ ? i - i?r" ? r another, expends ranch more than this per tember, annually. The deputation to Franoe 'ill itself cost, perhaps more than a thousand ollars. A State Lecturer, however, will not be eraloved, until the Order is sufficiently strong to lduce its leading spirits to embark in the enjrprise. The thing cannot be "did'' without raney; and it takes members to bring money lto the treasury of the organization. Here, ien, is an argument to all sober men to conect themselves with the Order. They thus be)rae <7i rapport with its enterprises ; they put teir shoulders to the wheel. We exhort all to >mbine, and conquer the common foe of our race and prosperity. A. R. SYNOD. The Synod of the Associate Reformed Church, outh, met at Rev. H Quigg's church, (Hope ell,) Newton County, Georgia, on the 8th inant. We have only space to give the leading fsults of their deliberations. The resolution issed by Inst Synod to remove the Theological sminaryto Nashville, Tennessee, was rescinded -hence the Seminary is now a "fixed fact" at ue West. Rev. J. P. Pressley, D. D., was ansferred from the Greek Professorship in rskine College, to a Professorship in the Sem ary. Rev. R. C. Grier, D. D.?who has had , le charge of the theological students for the ^ st year?assisted as he will be by Dr. Pressley ( :reafter, has accepted a call from the congrettion at Due West to the pastorship of their lurch, made vacant by the late death of that i >od and pious man, the lamented Dr. Ebenezer resslcy. The vacant Greek chair in the College, will be ' led by Pres. E. L. Patton ; and the Latin chair ft unoccupied thereby, will be filled by a new 1 rof. elect?Mr. John P. Kennedy. The Facul , in addition to this, were empowered to em- , oy a Tutor to take charge of the Preparatory epartment. The College session will hereafter immence on the first Monday of October, inead of November ; and Commencement will octr on thg second Weduesday of July, instead of ugust, as heretofore. It was decided not to embark just now, in the ork of foreigu missions ; because the field at ime is so "white unto the harvest." Rev. W. . Pressley preaches the Missionary SermoD sfore next Synod. Rev. H. Thompson, of Virginia, is the delegate next General Assembly of the Presbyterian burch ; Rev. D. G. Phillips of Georgia, alter- i ite. Rev. Jas. Boyce, D. D., the last delegate, ated that owing to "the distracted condition the public mind in regard to our 'peculiar initution,' the particular locality of the meeting" tochcster, New York,) &c., he did not attend ( e las-t General Assembly. His reason was istained. llev. E. T. Baird, D. D., of Missip, in attendance upon Synod as a delegate from 1 e Presbyterian Church, presented the fratero- 1 regard and kind greetings of his church to ' -nod, and regretted exceedingly the circum- ( ances influencing the decision of her delegate. . Rev. James A. Sloan is Moderator elect. The ' eeting of Synod is changed to the third Mon- I ly iu September. 1 Rev. R. W. Brice, J. Y. Mills and Col. W. C. fatty were appointed a committee to give such i tention as may be necessary to the bequest of 1200 to Erskine College, made by the late Col. ' right of this place. , Among the ministers sent to various places in i e South, we notice the names of many whose ' wc9 OIV lfuuiui*! w y vu? vvujinuvu am i.uv | den time?some stationed, and some literally < joing about" on their work of divine love. We mnot refrain from wafting for their happiness, j prayer mingled with the golden memories of ( e sunny past. * ??? MERE-MENTION. 1 Miss Matties Taylor, of Newport, Kentucky, 1 is received from the Prince of Wales a magnifi- < nt diamond brooch, surmounted by his crest. < ie present is a token of the Prince's remem < ance of the Cincinnati ball. A man named I itchell, overseer for F. George, near Whiteville, i C., convicted of causing the death of a negro i ' whipping, has been sentenced to be branded, i d to serve six months in prison. Blondin, t e famous rope-walker, gave his last and most ( daring exhibition at New York, Monday, by crossing a rope, elevated 200 feci above the ground, on stilts. Rembrandt Peale of Philadelphia and Charles Fraser, born in Charleston,?two of the artist celebrites of the country?have both died recently. The Federal Government has ordered 17,000 stands of arms to Fort Moultrie, South Carolina. A writer in the Newberry Conservatist, a short time since, nominated Gen. Wm. E. Martin, of Charleston, as a suitable person for the Gubernatorial succession. Gen. Harlee, ?f Marion, has also beeu nominated in the Marion Star. A writer in the Charleston Mercury nominates Governor Gist, in the event of a continuation of the Union, for the office of United States Senator. A dispatch announces, that Baron Renfrew has avowed his intention to return to the United Spates during some subsequent winter season, for the purpose of visiting the Soutbam States. Smith, who makes a joke of all his troubles, says 'the cook at his boardinghouse is so careless about separating the feathers from the chickens, that be never eats dinner without feeling down in the mouth." The Virginia papers are making a great fuss about the wet.lth of King Georgo's County, where each white person has $2,254. What is this to Lower All Saints Parish where each free man, woman and child, has eighteen thousand and twen~ ty nine ($18029 24) Dollars and twenty-four cents The Memphis papers announce that the first lot of Cotton, consisting of fifty-three bales, has been sent direct from Memphis to Europe. The shippers expect that it will reach Liverpool in twenty-seven days at the outside. Miss Frederika Bremer has been residing at Athens, Greece, for several months, and is soon to give to the world her impressions of the country. Miss Bremer is the author of "The Homes of the New World," one of the most charming and in the main one of the justest books of American travel, we have ever read. EEITORIAL INKLINGS. We learn from the Charleston Mercury, that a corps of sixty three mounted riflemen has been formed in St. Bartholomew Parish of this State. They have offered their services to H19 Excellency, Uov. tiisT, and ordered a sup ply of arras. They will uniform in a dark grey, home-made tveed, trimmed with green fringe and cord, with cap of coon skin. They call themselves "Marion men of the Combabee." The seventieth anniversary of the Charleston Orphn.n House was commemorated on Thursday, the 18th instant, by the charity children and the people of the city. We learn from the Courier that some forty children received premiums, and many others were "distinguished" for good behavior and attention to study.? The Institution had its origin in the eloquence of the great pulpit orator, George Whitfield ; and has all the vigor and freshness of youth about it, though it has now reached its "three score years and ten." It is thought that the extra session of the Legislature called for next Monday week, to nppoint Electors, will necessarily be prolonged into the regular pnssion ; or, at the utmost, a very sin rt recess will intervene. The Charleston Courier says that if the election of President turns upon the vote of Oregon or California (which is not at all impossible) it may be a week or longer before the result is known. We heartily endorse this sentiment of the Courier: "Under any view of the case, it is important that our legislators should go prepared to serve the State, and to discharge their duties, and they should arrange their private, and personal, and professional affairs accordingly.' One of our most prominent jurists, we learn from tho Darlington Flag, has made the prudent suggestion that it will be well for the Legislature, which will now soon convene, to adopt measures for the more speedy trial of abolition emissaries detected in our midst. He suggests that the Clerks of District Courts be empowered to act as Judges, ex officio, to call court, impannel grand and petit jurors, hear evidence, consider the verdict and pass sentence in such cases. This suggestion is a good one.? It would at once and effectually remove the present neces.rity of Judge Lynch's sway; and thus arrest the tendency of outside pressure to run us lnro aDarcny anu monocracy. The annual report of the Sunday School Society of the M. E. Church, South, for this year, state that there are "400 schools, 30,000 teachers and officers, 165,000 scholars, 420,000 volumes in libraries, 25,000 copies of 'The Sunday School Visitors' taken, and $29,000 collected and expended for Sunday School purposes." This is an increase of about six fold, in everything mentioned, over last year! It is estimated that there are half a million children whose parents attend upon the ministrations of the church.? Dr. Taylor, formerly missionary to China, presides aver this vast and noble association. Senator Brown, of Mississippi, in a relent speech at Crystal Springs, thus speaks of Hannibal Hamlin, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, of Maine: "Mr. Hamlin is a man of fair mental endow- 4 * - Tf i. ? ui~ r ;* ;0 meuis. it utj is reuiuritttuic iui aujrtuiug, n 10 For knowing which way the wind is going to blow, and always getting his sail set so as catch the first breezj. He took up politics as a young duck to water, because it was his element. If I owed the devil a genuine Simon Pure Yankee, and meant tc settle fair, I would send him Hannibal Hamlin. Virginia boasts of having ninety well organized cava'ry companies, about 20 of which will be inspected at an eucampment to be held at Richmond on the 7th November next, This is said to be the largest force of cavalry that ever assembled for drill in that State. Col. Hardee, author of the system of tactics now in n use in the United States Army, and Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry, has expressed his willingness to be present and instruct the companies, { if permission be obtained from the Secretary of War. Col. Hardee is the author of the "Skir- f raishing Drill" so spiritedly "rendered" by our n gallant JaBper Light Infantry. c An intense wag of Salem, Ohio, has recently sold the Douglas Democrats of that vicinity?so say the papers?at an exceedingly low ^ price. The LaFayette Journal thus tells how he * Jid it: 0 "A few days sinoe, an extra train, loaded with jackasses, was transported over the Louisville d and New Albany Railroad. The telegraph ope ^ rator at Salem, a boy, getting wind of it, set afloat a rumor that a large delegation of Democrats would pass through at a certain hour.? 1 Rumor, increasing as it flew, said that many eminent speakers were aboard, and that bands of music accompanied the expedition. Immense crowds of enthusiastic Douglas men repaired to n the depot, hats in hand, ready for the expected h cheers. When the train thundered in, and an p aged and venerable owner of a pair of fabulous ears stuck his head out of a stock car and gave r vent to a long agonizing hee-haw that fairly 8 shook the hills around, consternation seized the crowd, and in two minutes not a Democrat was to be seen within a mile of the depot. Com plaint has been made to the superintendent a against the operator, and he is in momentary n expectation of a notice to quit. r The Hartford (Ct.,) Times, of a late date, r, mentions an affray among the students of Trinity dollege, in which one of our occasional poetical o contributors?Preston Davis Sill?was concern- i cd. It seems that it is a custom of the students cf this as well as many other Institutions in the P and, to a greater or less extent, to connect some II ridiculous but innocent "initiatory proceedings" b svith the student's admission into bis class, or fl nto college. Mr. Sill's class was "put through" ol it Odd Fellow 8 Hall recently; but he and two c< ithers refused to take the "degree." Subse quently one of them was taken to Zion's Hill Cemetry, in the suburbs of Hartford, and lashed to a tomb stone; the second was taken in a carriage, and suspended by a rope under the arms in an old well; and the third was Mr. Sill. He is described as "a quiet, peaceable young man, who would disturb no one, and who himself preferred not to be disturbed or personally abused." A carriage was provided, and he was seized by two students?others being near to aid?when with old wells and grave-stones in prospect, he drew a pistol and fired upon his assailants. The shot missed. On hearing the report, the faculty interfered, the assailants disappeared, and Sill was conducted into the College. "Fun is fun;" but the boys run that piece "into the ground." On the 8th August, the United States steamer, Mohican, captured the slaver Erie, with 897 Africans on board, off the coast of Africa; and conveyed them to Monrovia?thirty negroes dying on the passage. The vessel and officers were brought to New York a few days ago; and the latter were detained as prisoners. The vessel was found to belonc to a Northern man I Baltimore has been, perhaps, more notorious than any other city in the Union, for the bad management and the bloody results, of its great popular elections. Heretofore, the policemen, whose business it is to keep good order and preserve the peace, have been connected with politics and parties; and as they chanced to be ranged with this or that party at the different wards of the city, it became dangerous even to the life of men on the opposite side, to cast their vote. The "Plugs" on their side would rule the day. Now, however, the police of Baltimore, by a city regulation, are divorced from politics ; and their neutrality in elections, as far as ".itriking" is concerned, and their devotion to the lights of all parties, are part of their tenure of office. The result, on Tuesday of last week, when the State elections were held there, was to free the city entirely from the rule of the "Pluguglies," and eecure to each citizen the vote of a freeman. CONTRIBUTORIAL. Books. We have been favored with an early copy of "Poems, by Sarah Oould", which Rudd and Carleton, of New York, have just issued iu Blue and Gold. It is a dainty fair volume, full of music and beauty. The poetry of the book is earnest, spontaneous, and true; sometimes unequal, but never without a sweet teaching and an elevated and pure aspiration. The hidden significance of common tking3 constantly blos?oms forth in little poems su naive in tone that one forgets the art in the gushy spirit of the lay. Aspiration beauty-wards is the spirit of the "Poems;" and that we hold to be the true spirit of Poetry. Much of earnest life is here, too; and there are charity hope here ; and the "pure womanly" breathes through it all. we nan tne pleasure 01 meeting tvuss uouia a few years ago. One finds in this volume much that explains the peculiar charm of her presence. One finds here utterances of those sweet charities of soul that he so visibly felt in the presence of the poetess herself?impressions that the spirit delights to remember, and of which we find herein so beautiful a memento. We subjoin a little poem, somewhat above a largely popular taste, but in itself exquisite ; and we know of hearts that will thank us for quoting it. It is the first in the volume and is the key-note of the "Poems." It is named "RESTORATION." We grope through the dark, And shrink in dismay, From the phantom eyes stark, That glare on our way; And we tremble, with fear, At our own spirit's tread, Clinging fast to some dear Hope, withered and dead; Which, nathless, would hold us In fealty still, Ever seeking to fold us Firm bound to it's will; Then we catch the low tone Of a Voice that is clear; And the distant Unknown Is a luminous Here, Which kindles our feelings, And quickens our sight, With glorious revealings Of beauty and light, And in th..t awaking, We feel tLe rebound From our soul-leap in taking A measure profound Of the chaos, inclosing Our innermost sense, As islands reposing 'Mid ocean's Immense. And, born into duty, We walk the new road, Through labor to Beauty, Through Beauty to Ood ; The phantoms of terror Fall stricken, and stark, And Truth pierces Error, Light pierces the Dark.

Prom the North Carolina Presbyterian. The Late Rev. J. B. Watt. The following Preamble and Resolutions were adopted in a,joint meeting of the congregations , of Steel Creek and Pleasant Hill, at Steel Creek J church, Mecklenburg County, N. C., Oct. 1st, 18G0: Whereas, God whose "way is in the Sea and his path in the great waters," has been pleased to take from us by death, our beloved Pastor, the Rev. James Bell Watt; therefore, Resolved, 1st. Whilst we bow with humble submission to this afflictive dispensation of a most holy, wise and merciful Providence; we, , do feel, that ours is no ordinary bereavement.? . For the deceased was no common man, nor ordinary Pastor. And with sorrowing hearts, we would bear unqualified testimony, that he was j an able and faithful minister of the New Testament. His heart was in his work, and he gave 1 himself wholly to it. In labors for the good of his people and the glory of his Saviour, he was verv nhnrwlanf His sprmnns were nrenarerl with 6 "V y ? r- -f #? much study and prayer ; practical and pointed in matter, they were delivered in a strikingly graceful and earnest manner, with a heart bur dened with the love of souls. Like his divine master, he delighted to preach the Gospel to the poor?especially did he labor, in season and out of season, for the salvation of the multitude of our slaves, who came in crowds to hear his in structions. To all his flock, he was an example 5 in word, in conversation, in charily, in spirit and 1 ;n faith. And although, he was not permitted c to labor long in his field, yet during the few J brief months he served us, God gave him many 1 seals of his ministry, which, he had fondly hoped, 1 were but the earnest of a rich harvest. But J whilst our hearts were almost breaking with ' longing expectations of copious showers of divine grace upon his labors and a glorious return, the laborer is cut down, or rather is summoned c away to the actu..l fruition of his blessed re f ward, for sixteen years of devoted and exhaust- I ing service in the Vineyard of his Lord. c Resolved 2d. We would kiss the rod which has c so grievously smitten us, as it is the hand of in- fl finite wisdom and love ; and praying for his for- ^ giving mercy and sanctifying grace, we would I be admonished to do quickly and with our might & what our hands find to do for ourselves, for oth- 9 ers and for the glory of God. Resolved 3d. That we recognize in this provi- 1 dence a solemn admonition from the great shepherd himself, that we should cease from man and endeavor more fully to realize our dependence on Him ; and that, as He bears the inter- n est of His church engraven on His breast, and has in his hands all gifts for her Pastors, Teach I ers, &c., we should cry in earnest, believing u prayer to Him, that He would send us another c man after His own heart, who under Him, might o lead us into the green pastures of his love, and c oesiue tne stm waters 01 saivauon. p Resolved 4Ih. That we tender our heartfelt tl sympathies to the* widow and fatherless obil S dren of our lamented Pastor, and pray most earnestly, that in their sore bereavement, they may S hear the voice of Him "whose heart is made of a tenderness," saying to them, "/ will not leave s you comfortless." "Let not your heart be trou- ti bled ; ye believe in God, believe also in me. Ir s my Father's are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a n place tor you. And if I go and prepare a place f for you, I will come again, and receive you unto ii myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." t JOHN H. McDOWELL, Chairman. e A. F. Sadleb, Secretary. b Negro Insurrection In Mississippi. The Central Inquirer, published at Louisville, Mississippi, states that a very great excitement E prevails at Plattsburg, Winston county, Missis- ^ sippi, and the surrounding country, in consequence of the discovery of insurrectionary plans " among the negroes to poison all the whites in v that section of country, and that these plots t( were not confined to that section, but extended widely over the whole Southern country. The facts are given by a committee of three respectable citizens, appointed at a public meeting at " Plattsburg. Their report; therefore, is entitled ?' to every respect. ! It appears that on Friday morning, the 28th P ult., Mr. D. Kelly chastised his oook woman for p some ordinary misdemeanor. The chastisement beine Drettv severe. the neero DroDOsed to reveal 0 an important secret to Mr. Kelly, if he would desist. He did so?the girl then informed him that the negroes of the whole adjacent country in concert with certain white men, were engaged in planning and preparing for a general insur a rection?that poison was circulated among all ^ the negroes of the neighborhood. She produced a some poison that had been given her for the purpose of destroying her owner and his family 'f ?stated that the time for commencing action 81 was not far distant?that her own husband was well informed of the plan of operations, and ^ various other less important facts. Several white persons are implicated, but the name of one only is giveh. This is 6. Harring- * ton, a Northern man by birth and education, and a travelling ambrotypist by occupation, who came to Plattsburg in May last, and during his * stay, had fallen under suspicion for his conduct with negroes. This fellow Harrington has been arrested in a small town called Philadelphia, _ and was conducted back for examination at Plattsburg. A strong vigilant committee has been appointed, and a tribunal of twelve per sons, to try all persons, white and black, who are brought before them, and to punish them as tl they think best. The names of the gentlemen C who have given the above facts are; P. B. Dou gal, J. M. Clark, and E. Quarles.?Charleston Evening News. 0. Letter from Hon. W. Izard Bull. In the Charleston Mercury of Saturday last, we find the following expression of the views of Hon. W. I. Bull, Senator from St. Andrew's ^ Parish, on the present state of political affairs : "In the event of the electiou of a Black Re- j publican to the Gffice of Presidency of the United States, my opinions are, that our Legislature shall immediately call a convention of the peo pie of the State, to assemble forthwith, and in vite the other Southern States to do likewise; tnd in the event of our State seceding, and one 8t ir more of the aoutoern amies oeueuiug, n?u ce the seceding States do, in their sovereign capacity, arrange the assemblage of a Congress to wj igree on terms of a Southern Confederacy.? <ji Should our State, however, refuse to secede be muse no other State secedes, then I will support my measures whatsoever, however ultra they nay be?even to take arms for the maintaining jj )f our honor against the traitors of our country. I For, although a party may be in a majority. . levertheless, when they attempt to rule, regard . ess of the most vital and sacred obligations of 11 he Constitution, they become absolute traitors, ?c md should be met as such.

Oct II 41 . 4t ? ?. p. i .1 SQfc, It is a common observation that there are more suflerers from debility, among Americans, than can be found among any other civilized nation. The reason is obvious. We take too little exercise, and forget the wants of the body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all such cases, ordinary medicines can do little good. What is required is just such a tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. Hostetter has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED "BITTERS." Th? weak and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board, and the prostrated student of the midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator in the "Bitters," and prefer if to more pretentious, but less efficacious medicines. But it should not be forgotten that the agent which is so magical in its influence upon a frame which is merely debilitated, is equally powerful in assisting nature to expel the most terrible forms of disease. .Who would not give it a trial ?

I first made use of this Balsam some three years since for a violent and distressing cough, which baffled the skill of physicians, aud to my joy, experienced such gratifying relief as to induce me to persevere in its use. I always keep it by me, and ever find it to be unfailing in its effects No medicine that I have ever used has given such speedy relief. Yours truly, NORBORNE NORTON. Caution to purehaaera.
