The wealthiest congregation in Ko T York city, perhaps in the whole country, ie that of the Church of the Ascension (Episcopal) in tho Fifth Avenue. Their aggregate inconio laBt year is shown by tho official returns to hav? been eighteen million dollars. Tho Greenville, S. C., Afountameer of Tuesday last says: "Ex-Gov. B. F. PERRY took his departure ibis morning' for Washington City, and, we pre? sume, will be absent a short time only, unless the Congress of the United States shall happen to come to their senses unexpectedly and admit Southern Representatives to their seats during ibo present month/' The Pensacola Observer, of tho 27tl ult., says : "Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT made a br ief visit to tho Pensacola Navy Yard on Tuesday last. Wo regret to learn that his feeble health prevented his ming? ling with the people or receiving- any ono aboard except tho officials. Tho United States steamer on which he came, ontorcd port at 6 o'clock P. M., on Tuesday, and cleared on Wednesday morning at an early hour. Tho usual honors were paid him by both tho army and navy." The Charlotte (N. C.) Times of tho Gth instant thus speaks of the Charlotte and South Carolina Bailroad: "Aq this is aa improvement in which our entire community is deeply interested, we ?nrrondor, to tho exclusion of other matter, our space to tho very able and satisfactory reports of ita President, Colonel WM. JOHNSTON, and bis able assistants. It will be seen that ?his efficient officer has been malling great exertions to get the repairs done, and soon the cars will run through to Columbia. The condition of the road is all the most sanguine of tho stockholders could reason? ably expect. Colonel JOHNSTON is a model Rail? road President." The Savannah Herald, ot the 6th instant, men? tions that "on Saturday the pilot boat Sophia, Capt. SAG?ES, while cruising off Tybee, discovered some eight miles at sea an object afloat, which proved to be a flat containing three negro mon and two women, with a horse. The party wero sup? plied with provisions,.antlhad. started-for Daw x_s_o island, where they designed to settle, but in their unmanageable craft wero driven to sea, where they must have perished but for their time? ly rescue by Capt. SAOUBS. The negroes with their baggage were taken on board tho pilot boat, and brought to Savannah yesterday. As it was im? possible to transfer the horse from tho flat to the pilot boat, the former was left to the mercy of the waves." The Greenville (S. C.) Mountaineer says of the Saluda Turnpike : "Wo aro much gratified to hear that this road, from HODGES', over tho moun? tains, is now in good order, and is considerably travelled. Thc enterprising contractors, Mosers. COLEMAN & MONTGOMERY, aro already reaping some reward in tho way of tolls, and we hope their contract will turn oat very profitable. They arc entitled to the thanks of tho whole community for the promptness and energy they have displayed in patting the mountain part of the road in repair. We understand it has been approved by J. L. WESTMonxLAND, ESQ., who was appointed by tho Legislature to supervise the ror.d. Our neighbors over the mountains can now come to tho Green? ville market, a good one, for all they have to sell." The Columbia (S._C.) Phcmix, of tho 7th inst., mentions that the body of an unknown man was found on Monday afternoon, on tho road-side, on the otherside of the river, about three-quarters of ?mile from Guignard's Fewy, by a party of hunt? ers from Colombia ; and a gentleman who passed the spot yesterday morning informs us that tho body is still laying there. Will no one look after it? A bullet-holo through thu forehead shows how the unfortunate being carno to his end-but whether by the hand of the assassin or his own, of course it is impossiblo to say. Thc remains of ? fire show that he had endeavored to mako him? self comfortable. From appearances, it is sup? posed that ho had been dead several days, and thc pockets of tho dead man had been rifled of their contents. The deceased was dark complected, had dark hair, and was dressed in a fancy-colored .woollen shirt, paper collar, black cloth coat, mole? skin overcoat, gray pants, and patched boots ; but neither hat or cap. This ia thc second affair uf tho kind which has occurred in that vicinity about two years ago the body ot' a woman having beon found near there. The Abbeville (S. C.) Banner of the Gth inst., speaking of the condition of affairs in that dis? trict, states that we regret to discover a feeling of despondency on tho part of many of our citi? zens, arising from a distrust of the freedmen-an apprehension that they will not stick to their jvork by the faithful performance of the contracts into which they have entered. We hope these fears are not well founded, but tho discernment of our peoplo is keen, and in a matter of such vital interest to the prosper:'/ of thc country, they have surveyed well tho different points and features of the industrial situation, and their judgment, when well ascertained, is fear? fully conclusive of thc subject. In thc last few days, large numbers of negroes have been taken from the District to tue Weat, principally to Arkansas and Tenuesscc. Thc wages offered by these parties are attractive. They have paid as high as fifteen dollars per hand, and find food and clothing. Prom tho impoverished condition of our country, wo cannot compete with those who plant in the fertile valleys of tho West. Wc must rely, thcreforo, upon tho stout hands and hearts of our own people for awhile; and it may be that in due timo our exhausted country, under thc in? fluence of white imported labor, will bc resusci? tated and roclaimed from tbc effects of tbo ruin? ons system of cultivation which wo have heretofore practiced. tr A? communications intended for Privation in n^it?^r~n?i mujt be addressed to the Editor of ?

THE FENIAN movement, whose importance had been diminished somewhat by the un? happy and unbecoming difference between tho leaders of that organization, lately at is? sue in New York, has come again to claim a large share of public attention. Supposing that the organization was entirely engrossed in the adjustment of this unfortunate difficulty, and was unfitted, therefore, for efficient move? ment in any direction, there was a general disposition, both herc and abroad, to turn away from it, to some more obvious and attrac? tive subject of popular interest. More re? cently, however, the indications are, that not only are its powers and purposes not entirely neutralized by this unhappy difficulty, but it is again at work, and its movements have been sufficient to arouse the Canadians upon the border to a fearful state of disturbance and alarm. A short timo since General SWEENY, known as Secretary of "War, and Colonel ROBERTS, one of the Presidents of that order, left the metropolis for a lecturing tour through the rural districts of New York, in the course of which they are reported to have announced that before tho 14 Suns of May shall shine-*' they will have planted the standard of the Irish Republic upon conquered territory. An an? nouncement to thc same effect is made in the National Irish Republic, of Now York, with the additional declaration that it will have a flag, an army, a port of entry and exit, a fleet of privateers, and the tacit concurrence of France and the United States. In conse? quence of these announcements, and, it is to be presumed, of Owher more tangible and sug? gestive facts, among which is the reported presence of President ROBERTS and Secretary SWEENY within the Canadian territory, the Canadian authorities have become thoroughly aroused. The banks have sent their funds to the interior, the regalar troops havo been hurried to the border, the " sedentary mili? tia," assumed to number a hundred and fifty thousand, are being rapidly organized and put in motion ; and the indications aro, that whatever be the measures of attack, the mea? sures for defence will soon become as com? plete and perfect as spirit, activity and enter? prise can make them. Whether Canada be the object of attack, or whether a hostile movement be, in fact, intended upon any point, or whether, indeed, the FenianB have the military means for any military movement whatever, does not appear. We have no better assurance of these facts than that afforded by the disturbance the ap prehension-ha&OO?&siortftd Rrrrrmg tho Canadian authorities, and it is quite possible, therefore, that the whole purpose, at present, is to create an excitement. In fact, it is to be hoped that this is BO. It is scarcely conceivable that, with any means at present in the possession of the Fenian body, they can make a success? ful movement upon Canada. There are some, perhaps, with zeal enough to attempt it, but it is scarcely possible that the attempt can be successful. If indulged by our authorities in the liberty of organizing and moving a military force from within the limits of our territory, it is scarcely possible that they can organize and movo a force sufficient to meet the hundred and fifty thousand that are ready to receive them on tho other side. Rut they will not be indulged in any such liberty. 1 A desultory demonstration will merely in- 1 volve tho sacrifice of those engaged in it. i Even that may seriously compromise this i Government with the Government of Great i Britain ; and, in every view of the subject, 1 therefore, the attempt is seriously to bo de- ] precated. j It is an ungrateful task to dash the spirits j o? men, inflamed to great achievements, by | tho suggestions of prudenco ; and those things ' to which they can really attain are of little ] interest if they are not also those which they < desire ; and it were well, perhaps, when men ! are ardent in thc pursuit of au object, even beyond their reach, not to disgust them by tho sjggestion of an alternative. Rut tliis precept of prudence we will disregard for the present, to tho extent, at least, of ex? pressing tho wish that thc present zeal and agencies for tho liberation of tho Irish nation should be turned to a form of substantial ben? efit to the Irish people. They Buffer, and must suffer there, not alone from the oppres? sions of tho English Government, but from thc pressure of their own overcrowded pop? ulation. And if tho oppressions of tito En? glish Government were removed-which, to say the least of it, is not a probable occur? rence-thc suffering from tho other causo would still continue. Rut of both evils tho people of that island may bo relieved by a removal to this country. They would hero find "room and verge enough'' for every power they may possess ; they will have an equal voico in tho making of the laws, bo they bad or good, by which they are to bo governed ; and if, therefore, the Fenian order have sympathy for tho people of Ireland, and the means at all adequate to a successful military movement upon it, they might apply them to a better purpose. They could, with such means, transport to this country a very large portion of those who would be bene? fited by the change, and would more cer? tainly secure their welfare and happiness by applying them to that object. That move? ment, as far as it might go, would, at least, bo safe and salutary. No lives would bo lost, and no money thrown away; while the other J movement, if their means and agencies were even ten timea greater than they are, will he certainly expensive. Blood and money both must flow if it Bhall ever he seriously at? tempted, and the most sanguine cannot say that it will certainly be successful. In sober earn? estness, therefore, we would urge our Fenian friends to rather use these means to bring the Irish people to the South. There are lands here as green as any of their native island, of which homesteads may be purchased with the labor of a single year. There would be no costs or perils in the enterprise ; the process would sustain itself; the emigrant could soon refund the cost of transportation, and an Irish State could be established here that would soon transcend the possible glo? ries of the parent isle. ONE OF THE heaviest institutions in the line of new8paperdom in the United States, is the New York Nation. Its writers are heavy, its articles are heavy, and its capital must necessarily be heaviest of all, inasmuch as it requires the largest kind of sinking fund to stand the pressure of tho great pecu? niary losses this heavy establishment must sustain, if it pays its writers heavy prices for their heavy articles. But these heavy articles havo nothing but their weight and length to recommend them, inasmuch as they are the dullest, most un? meaning, most senseless trash that can be con? ceived. But there nre exceptions to all rules; and this paper, noted for heavy articles,some? times publishes very light ones-heavy-head? ed, "tis true, but written by exceedingly light? headed penny-a-line writers. The Nation is now publishing a series of nonsensical letters from an imaginative correspondent, of which (the letters and tho light-headed writer) they are so exceedingly vain, that they boast about the former and refuse to givo the name of the latter. These letters, which aro entitled "Tho South as It Is,;' and which ought to be enti? tled " The South as It Is'ut,"' have been as? cribed to Mr. CARL SCHURZ, who might very well have written them ; but tho editor of the Nation denies that Mr. SCHURZ is tho author, and adds, that there is not the slight? est uso for anybody to endeavor to find out who is. Now we would inform tho Nation that no one has any desire to know the name of the imaginative correspondent, who, 60 long as he can draw on tho Nation for his five dollars a column, or whatever it is, thinks it his duty to draw us largely on his powers of invention in writing letters from the South which he is anxious to make as interesting as possible. The imaginativo author of the articles entitled " The South as It Is," in? forms the New York Nation and the nation at large, that since August last a traffic in negroes has been carried on between several points on the Southern coast and the Island of Cuba. The correspondent says the busi? ness is remunerative ; we have no doubt that it is-if it is true that it is carried on. The l?ght-hoaded correspondent of the heavy headed letters proceeds to state that we all despise the Yankees, and quotes remarks which ho heard-or imagined he heard from three or four men, ono or two old women, and two or three young children. Thcso re? marks are considered by him as exponents of the public sentiment, and aro retailed out to the Nation as such. There is no uso for us to endeavor to set things to rights, so long as these highly imaginative and salary-drawing correspondents remain among us, to write such letters, calculated to belie us and our sen? timents in tho eyes of our Northern brethren. If this identical correspondent were engaged Lo-morrow at a larger salary by tho New York Daily News, or the Metropolitan Record, wo Feel assured that the tenor of his lettors would bo entiroly different. Wo know enough ibout the newspaper business to bo awaro of Lhe fact, that a correspondent always writes in a strain that ho knows will be most agreea? ble to the editors of the paper with which ao corresponds and from which he draws his pay. This is the great secret of the tissue of ;ro6s misrepresentations which creep into :be Northern papers of ultra political views. This is tho secret of tho heavy-headed articles by the light-headed correspondent from Ma? son, Columbus, Ga., and elsewhere ?a the South. THE MASSACHUSETTS Anti-slavery Society bold its thirty-fifth annual meeting in Bonton last week. Slavory being abolished, the Board of Managers, seconded hy WM. LLOYD GARRISON in a speech, recommended the dis? solution of the Society as an organ without a function. WENDELL PHILLIPS opposed the dissolution, and was sustained by a strong vote, including THEODORE TILTON, of tho In? di pendent. WENDELL PHILLIPS is .-<> invariable arid authentic n forerunner of tho Republicans that it is always profitable fur those who would penetrate their designs io read his speeches. On this occasion he is reported by the Boston Journal to have said : "Tho Anti-Slavery ?Society never undertook to abolish chattel slavery ; they did not begin with that idea in their mind. Ita object waa to put tho negro race on an equality with tho white race. ? * * CHARLES SCMNF.U is the representative of tho idea that before one Southern Stateshall bc ad? mitted te Congress tho black man shall stand on an equality with the white, and have the right of suffrage. * * Jfr. "PHILLIPS offered, in addition, a resolution indorsing tho proposed Constitatiuual Amendment, which would give Congress Ibo power to regulato thc rights of American citizens, aa a groat atop in tho right direction; and another which atatcd that the President had broken his solemn vow to bo a Mosca to thc colored race, had been false to tho cause of liberty, and that bia courso deserved the rebuke of every friend of lib? erty, aa ho waa its enemy." THE Macon, Ga., Telegraph aaya that tho negroes, in that vicinity are dying off with thu moat fright? ful rapidity. "During tho preceding week about' live hundred bad died in that city alune, out of a black population of only eight thousand. Pre? vious to tho war tho weekly mortality in tho same number had only been about twenty. WANTS.
