Dr. Wlnlcler. Ttae Baptist State Convention of South Caro? lina met at Yorkville, S. C., on Thursday the - 22d instant. Ttae number' of delegates was not so large as usual, yet ttae attendance was respectable. Rev. Dr. J. L. Reynolds was elect ed president, and Rev. Dr. J. O. B. Dar? gan, vice-president; Dr. S. W. Book hart was appointed secretary. Tbe Yoik Association applied and was admitted a membar of the convention. There were a number of the dis? tinguished ministers of the denomination pre? sen*. Among them Dr. J. C. Forman, Dr. B. Manly, Dr. Win Wer, Dr, William? Curtis! and other able men, beside tbe president and Vice president already mentioned. There was also present Bev. Dr. J. B. Jeter, of Richmond, editor of the Religious Herald, and Mr. J. H. Mills, editor of tbe Biblical Recorder, of ' Ral? eigh, N. C. The Greenville Enterprise says : .j The convention and the good citizens of Yorkville seemed to form a mutual good opin? ion of each other. There was a generous kind? ness and hospitality exhibited by the people and by other denominations of Christians, and a favorable impression matte by the prea -hers of the convention who had the opportunity of heit g heard. On Friday, evening addresses were delivered in relation to Far nan Univer? sity and the general cause of ?ducation, hy D. , Jeter, Dr. Wiokler and Dr. Reynolds, Dr. J. C. Forman having first given ?onie statements and explanations ss to the condition and pros? pects of th? inetitu.im. The addressee were very abie, as might be expected from the character of their authors, and that of Dr. Wiokler especially was one of surpassing ability for learning, argument and. eloquence combined, 'j Bis address was the most elaborate, and longer than the others. A citizen ot Yorkville, ene of the legal profes? sion, naid to some of tbs delegates, that ho had heard Clay and Webster and, other great and tamed speakers of the United States, bat I that Dr. Winkler, ia his opinion, surpassed | them in oratory. At thc t-onclnsion of the addresses, several i bonds were pledged for th? benefit ot Forman University, on the plan heretofore announced; tbs condition being the payment of thirty dol? lars annually for three years-tbe giver of the bond in the meantime having the right of 1 sending a student without paying anything for tuition. Tho next meeting of the convention is to be at Greenville, lt will be the fiftieth year of its existence, and on this account Dr. Reynold*, who ia appointed to preach the introdactory sermon, is instr acted to present in hi? dis ?reaching.

Pro t cst of nie Conservative Peers again*> - ? its Passage* The lat?st foreign maila taring tho text of .he protest made by the conservative peers of Englond against the Irish Church bill. It ia is follows : T Dissentient-I. Because thia. WU, for tho first timo einco the foundation ot the British aiouavoby, introduces, BO tar aa Ireland is concerned, the principle, unrecognized in nnv other country in Ei*rnpe} "f titi entire sever ance of tho State from the support of any and Bvery form of religions worship. 2. Because the adoption of thia principle with regard to Ireland oannot but pi ve great encours g^ment to the d?signe of those who desire its extension to every part of the United Kingdom. 3. Because it is a violent stretch of the pow? er of Parliament to resume a grant made by itself in perpetuity; still more to confiscate property held by loDg prescription, and by a title independent of Parliament. 4. Because if tbis principle be well fountfod as reg?rde.-j?rivate property, it ia still tn ote BO with regare} to that which ?has been solemn!}' sc:, apart for the purposes ot religion and the service of Almighty God. 5. Because the legislation attempted in thia bill te ds to snake confidence i i all property, and especially in that which rests upon a Par? liamentary title, horotoforo considered as the most unassailable of ail. 6. Because it is impossible to place a church, disestablished and 'disallowed, and bound to? gether only by the lie of a voluntary associa? tion, on a footing of equality with the perfect organization of the Church of Borne, whereby especially in Ireland the laity are made com? pletely subservient, to the l nesthood, the priestBto the bishops, and the bishops them? selves are subject to' the uncontrolled authori? ty of a foreign potentate. 7. Because this bin will he felt ad a gi ie voua injustice by the Protestants of Ireland, who, through tl eir Irish Parham en t, surrendered their political independence by a treaty, cf the raadimentol condition of which w<s t negro ter security of the Protestant ?Establishment. 8. Because while thia me isure will tend to ilieuate those who have hitherto beeu the firmest supporters of the British throne And British connection, so far from conciliating, 33neb lees satisfying, it whT only stimulate to fresh demands that lorie portion of the Roman Jatholio population or Ireland whi >h looks for? rard to ulterior .and vnry different objecta, and, ibove al!, to ultimate emancipation from the control ol' the British Legislature.

Inflnence-A Magnetic Storm. (From the London Spectator.] On September 1,1859, shortly before noon, ;woJas1j"Oiv>mers-^-Mebsi*>i Hodesoa 'and Car rmgtou^Tne at Oxford, the other in London, ?vere-at the same instant scrutinizing a large jroup of sun spots. On a sudden two intensely origil t patches of light appeared in?ront of the 3lust or. So brilliant were they that the observ? ers thought the darkening screens attached to I heir1 telescopes must have been fractured. But bbis was found not to be the sase. The bright spots indicated some process going on upon the sufi's surface-a T>ro*?ees or such activity that within five minnies the spots travel ?ed over a space of nearly thirty-four thousand miles. Now, at the Kew Observatory there are self-registering magnetic instruments which idicate the processes of change by which the subtle influences of terrestrial magnetism wax and wane. At one time the line traced by the pointer wu. be marked by scarcely.perceptible undulations, indicating: the almost r?uieacent state of the great terrestrial magnet*. At an? other, well marked waves along th 3 line ex? hibit tbe pulsations of the. magnetie system, influenced in a manner as yet intelligible to the physicist. And then there is s third form of disturbance, the sharp, sudden jerks of the pointer exhibiting the occurrence of those mysterious phenomena termed "magnetic ttorras." . When the records of the Kew Ob? servatory came to be looked over, it was found that at the very instant ia which the brilliant spots of light had appeared to Messrs. Hodg? son and Carrington, the seli-registering in? struments hatTbeen subjected to the third anc most significant form ot disturbance-A mag? netic storm bagan, in fact, as the light brok? out on the . SIM'S surface. ' But this was not the only evidence of the sympathy with whict the earth responded to the solar action. Ii was subsequently found that soon ofter th< spots of light hod appeared the whole fronet of the earth hod thrilled under o mvsteiioui magnetic influence. At tho West Indies, ii South America, in Australia, wherever mag netic operations are systematically mada, th observers hoi the same story to teil. In th* telegroph stations at Washington and Pbila dolpbia the signalman received strong elect ri shooks. Ia Norway telegraphic machinery wai set on fire. The pen of Bain s telegraph wo followed by a flame. A?H? wherever telegraph! wires w?re in action, weil marked iadicatiom of disturbance presented themselves. Eve this, however, was not oil. The great tnog netic storm was not a mero instantaneous ele< trie.throe. Hours passed before the disturbe earth resumed, its ordinary state. And thu it happened that iu nearly all parts of tb. earth night fofl while'the storm was yet i progress. Thuin?? tho night maenifloout at roras spread their waving streamers aver tb sky. both in the -northern and the souther hemisphere. Aa the. disturbed needle vibri ted the colored streamers waved reaponsivt and it was only when the magnetic a town wa subsiding that the auroral lights fad*! fror the heavens. Now it is evident that thee phenomena show the most intimate rela-?o between these peculiar disturbances in the su and the magnetic currents, ol our own eartl Directly one of these changes takes place nj wards of ninety militons of miles away, tn electric condition of our planet ia changed i some mysterious way, of which our1 /natri menta, and even the condition of our sky, ben record. The pens of all our telegraphic wire moy some doy trace in fl imo a hand w ri tiri more ominous of human destiny than was tb handwriting which, during Belshazzar's feos traced a warning on the wall of the fall i the Babylonian dynasty. Moreover,- cot this, that th?8o changes in the conditio of lite sun take place at intervals of shot eleven years. The variable star which swim round it, as well as supplying ns with hgl and heat and (apparently) magnetism, clow over every eleven yeaip these spots, to that eooms moBt likely that every eleven years ce tam magnetic condition? recur which have n occurred in the interval. If ss. perhaps, tl magnetic excitement of 1850 will recur; and may be3 in much greater foroe next year1-: 1879. And if it does, how are we to say wh may or may not.r? cur with il ?

TUEG O LU EN STATE. A Carolinian'* Imp. eastons of San Fran? cisco-How thc Cltf ls >t riding For? ward in Wealth and importance-?. Wonderful. People. It wis announced m THB NEWS a few mouths ago that a number of Carolinians bad departed from their native State to make their homo in California. Colonel John G. Press ley, who was Ono of tho party, writes a,very i uterus tin g letter to the Singstree Star, giving his impressions ot the metropolis of the Paci? fic coast. Ho Haye: This is a land where wonders never cease. No one from our sober and staid old State can visit Sau Franeisco without' being astonished at tbe strange things which bc sees. You have been in the mountains; well, just select tbe most ragged and unpromising place yon can think ot for the site of a oily and yon have the seat of tbe Queen City of the West. The energy, industry and enterprise of the people are perfectly wonderful. What do. you think of having preaching in afine church, and bearing tho announcement that "preaching at the usual hour may bo expected in tb is house ou next Sunday, but tho house will be found a half mile away on another, street. This Iv heard and Saw. At any time one may see half a dozen bouses in the tJ course of a morning's walk moving through the o streets, sometimes with ljtmUies and all their o household goods in them. This is occasioned ti by the rapid rise* in real'estate. A house ot 0 ordinary proportions is erected and in-afew ?1 years, perhaps months, the land becomes Moo Q valuable to nave any otb sr than a verv lino building on it; away goes the first occupant, to make room for a more stately and commo? dious structure, to the suburbs where it stands till the march of improvement dislodges lt aud sends it further on. Nothing stands in the way of. the progress of thia great city, moun? tains are cut down, tbe sea is filled up. and .onward, onward, is the watchword;- Large 'ships a few. years ago landed their cargoes near wliere the Lick House now stands, one Of the most magnificent hotels in the world, on Montgomery-street, where land is now worth $2700 a front'foot and which is three-fourths of a mile from the present water front: A large creek, once-ran up lo that point. My ' childish conception of a street was.,tuat it was a sort of staircase. I have seen tho'r?alizition of this idea. vlho sidewalks on many of tie streets are staircases, a mountain happens to be in the way, tho street -goes over and the houses go up, and there they , stand till the people are ready to have the mountain come down. Tb 13 street ia theo cut through, and Boinetimes tbs blocks of land., left for some time longer. In oe or two places streets may be seen from fifty to one hundred feet below tho house*. One unfortunate indi? vidual was killed a short time ago who tum? bled from the sidewalk into the street. \Vb n the hill is not too steep the street is graded, end planked with pieces nailed across on , the plantains to prevent slipping. The most rf the citv is built in toe valley between these hills and mountains, and much of it is made land, but the flit laud bas long since been filled, and the city has gone over the adjacent hilts and mountains. Land at this time m.the. suburbs almost inaccessible, commands fabulous prices. HI went with a gentleman eugiged in land spec? ulations to look at a piece of laud fifty by one hundred and twenty feet m size. We found that we could oot drive a horse and buggy up the Bide of the hill presenting the most grad? ual slope. This lot was held at $650. 1 saw a btackof land in tbe same vicinity containing about two acres, but easy of approach, which, last Bummer waa bought for $5000. It now sails for $14 OOO Oa the outskirts of the own nothing BO strikes the attention ot the strang? er as the great number of new building 5*i**w nu_jt, i-ntpimiM "uv or a vast army receiving reinforcements, which build as they pi tc Li their tents. Vast sums of money are being realized in land speculations. The question with the speculator is not whether tbe propel ty offered -for-sale will fall, but which piece of property will rise in value most rapidly. Numerous horse railroads penetrate the city, and these are run several miles from the heart of the town, so that one may live along distance from bis ptaoe of business. Bents are so high in the older parts of tbe city that ibis is a necessity with all of the small operators. In the sub? urb i comfortable houses oan be bad at from $15 to $50 a month. The fear bf .earthquakes was not, baforo "the eyes of the people whim San Fi unesco was built. Tho public build? ings, hotels and private residences are an honor to any city. The damage done by the great earthquake of 1838, was either greatly over estimated, br the present'condition ot tue city 'indicates the most inconceivable thrift. Its effects cannot be perceived ' by a stranger. A few cracks in the walls of some of the larg? est buildings are the Only signs that oan now be pointed out. The terror pf the inhabitants during the convulsions beggars description, but very few were iu any way injured. The lushest number, according to tho account which one now hears, is six, and one of them in his ter i ror jumped out cf a three story window. Tbe others were killed by the falling of cornices. None of the buildings ' ware thrown entirely down. The people of San Francisco are the most hospitable with whom a stranger often meets. They seem to be mor?eady to assist strangers than any people whom I have ever seen, ?top any of them and ask for directions or informa? tion, and the moment they find out that you are a stranger they gQ out of their way to serve you, and never give one a short answer as business men in large odies are too prone to do. The deference and respect shown to ladies in the street cars, in public assemblies, and on public conveyances reminds one of Charleston in ber days of g>. llantry. When the sentiment of the community was co .trolled by the ?outh e.*n gentleman. . The clim ito of all the coast roa ion of Oallfor nia is delightful. There are no extremes of heat or cold. Nobody wears summer clothing, and yet a blanket is necessary every night, from our country would think that a heavy Sometimes fogs come over the city; and one shower would fall in a few minutes, but very soon the fog dieappears and the sun comes out bright and beautiful. The further from the coast the fewf r of these fogs that are econ, and after crossing a range of mountains they never make their appearance. Everything which money can purchase or taste require can he bad in. San Francisco, and the prices of most tbiogs are surprisingly low. Boord can be had in first class boarding houses a? from $1 io tl CO. Tb* ?otoU ?imrere from $2 60 to $4. Instaurants of the finest kind, where every luxury known to the cuisine can be found, are very plenty, and one can hire a, furnished room and live, cheaper than in any city I have Over bsen in on tbe At latio coast. There are a great many things which a stranger sees to interest bim, and which I might write to you about, but 1 suppose your readers will not care to bo bored any longer now, and, if agreeable, I will, in another letter, have more to, say about that citv, and something about th? produe tivene?s Of the country, pries of land, Ao. J will only add now that I have found the most bigbly colored accounts, which I heard before bere, trae, and still more wonderful ones of the richness of the country can bo told. I?ATTJLE Or THE BISHOPS. Bishop euramina arno Bishop Wnite nomae^-Their Controversy. The contest between Bishop Henry J. White? house, of Illinois, ahl Bishop George D. Cum? mins, of Kentucky, has become exceedingly warm. f Thc notoriously liberal views of B shop Com? mins are so offensive to Bishop Wh tehou3e. that the former was repeatedly urge? not to proscn within tha Drnceae of Illinois. Failing in this request, Bishop Whitehouse gave spe? cial instructions to the pastors in his. Charge to forbid MT. Cummins the ase of their pulpit?. In spite of these instructions, the latter h?s preached several times tn Chicago, and wa? re ?av?l?d to mi ino pulpit of Trinity Church in that city daring the absence of ita rector. The Illinois Bishop thereupon wrote a very -sharp note to the Kentucky Bishop, protesting violently against his accepting the invitation-, "lt has involved," be says, "th? direot issue before that body, whether the ear? nest advice of the Bishop should be followed, not to venture on this dangerous course; or whether, In defiance ci thirouunol, -an invi? tation should be extended ?o you.-whiob, With full knowledge of the facts, you have solicited.

It has degenerated into inei lents whiob subject you to imputations of ma evolent feeling, as well as the disregard ci ivbat is gentlemanly and courteous," r Bishop Cummins has written a letter to the "hicago Tribune explaining the situation. He was formerly pastor of Trinity Church bimeolf. 3n the first of July he received an. invitation o fill the pulpit in the absence of the rector, ind accepted by telegraph. He preached here on Jniy 4, a sermon delivered previously n Grace Church, New York, in which the ritu ihstio tendencies ot the church were deplored. 3ishop Whitehouse called upon a warden ot he church on July 12, and asked that Bishop Cummins should not be allowed to preach ?gain. The vestry being called together, were ramed that they bad no r ght to have any me preach in their church to whom their bebop objected.- The oanons ot the ohuroh ipon the matter aro to > plain to admit of a lonbt. They provide t bat, in th? absence of a ec tor of a church, i be ohuroh wardens and estrymen, ona maje rity of them, may -invite ny clergyman of {hie ohuroh (Canon 2, Titi? , Section 6) to officiate, toe them, ontv taking are that they, have srdacient evidence of his eing duly ordained to' minister in this hurob." (Canon li, Title I.) Had the ves? ey yielded to the demand made upon them, hey would have affixed a stigma of disgrace pon a former rector and a bishop of the burch. This the vastly absolutely refused o do, and again invi ed Bishop Cummins to ccupv their pulpit. J Chis action brought out he letter from Bishop Whitehouse, whioh we ave quoted above. ''JUE ?

James Andrews, a Jersey man and a fisher ot orgies and the like in Newera bay, a person of ound eenae, good stoicly babils, bot at all iven to grog, and not possessed of an unusual bare of imagination, has just had the privilege f a sight of the sea serpent. The following ig tia story as told by the Newark (N; J.) ,'ourier : . Mr. Andrews states that on Sunday afternoon ?st, he was returning from Kliz ibethport in bis ?oat, a: small affair, oapable of carrying only dar or five persons, and after he bad passed index the Central dailroad bridge, and rowed, ? be thinks, about a mile np the bay, hts at ten ion became St fin t attracted by an unusual corn notion in the water about two hundred yards n advance of tho boat. Curious as to this un? usual agitation, he rested upon bis oars and vatohed for a few moments the spot, which vas strongly marked by the waves and foam, ?hen, to his great surprisd and terror, the lead of a monster, as large as a flour barrel, md having something of the appearance of a log's head, appeared above the water. It itretchod away along the surface, and a black icaly back lifted itself gradually from the water unfed it appeared, according to Mc An bews, twice the length of an ordinary schoon? er. It swam easily and with but Jillie motion. >ccas tonally raising ita head three Or fo-r feet ibove the surface with.that peculiar sinuosity jommoB to the snake tribe, ?suddenly, with a remenduous splashing, it disappeared from sight, .leaving behind it a largo area of seeth? ing foam.. J Mr. Andrews acknowledges himself io have been "scared almost to death" at the sight, anc loo-it carno to the conclusion, so he says, thal tie was to be eateu alive. Indeed, his pres ance pf mind so far torso ;k him that he drop? ped both oats and bad some difficulty in re? covering tl em. Having secured them, how eyer, by meaos of a small paddle wh?o i for lunately remained in the bottom of tho boat, be undertook to row across the bay, but ht bad procceeded hut a short distance when c terrible splashing from behind caused him tc turu ?round, and there, as he solemly asserts. within a dozen yar's of bim. Was the head o; the monster high up above the surface; and, tc add ali the more to bis terror, it opened in hideous jaws and darted a foiked tongue di? rectly at bim. To employ the language usec by Andtews himself, "the next thing be knew, he didn't know anything," meaning thereto that his terror was so grent he apparently los' consciousness. That was tbe laBt he saw o the sea serpent (which be moat assuredly be Heves it to have been, sod which certainly tal lies with tbe deeoripti ms already given. ) ant be informs us that immediately thereafter ht probably did some of tbe "tallest rowing" tba has ever been witnessed in Ne wai bf Bay.

I From tbe London bhlpplng Gazette. ] The cotton trade is still in a very peculiar position. The etruc gie between Liverpool and Manchester, which has boen going on for so long a time, has resulted io the partial defeat of tlie latter. Tbe position of the raw material is statistically strong, while the stocks of cot? ton goods throughout the world have been greatly reduced iu cons?quence of the restrict? ed expoits from this country. Holders of raw cotton have been further favored by the faet that money has continued cheap, wbieh has given them a considerable advantage tn the contest with the spinners. There is very little doubt, h J we ver, that the latter have pursued the right , policy in limiting their purchases to the utmost ext eut, and they may not baye .cause to regret having doue so. Tho restricted consumption which has been going on has imparted a healthy tone to both the Liverpool and Manchester markets, and more activity may be anticipated in b >tti, until at least present wants bavo been supplied. The immediate cause of the return of aotivity is the condition of the Eastern mar? ket, which must, by this time, be pretty bare of goods. The shipments to India 'ss we have frequently pointed out,. have been ou an unu? sually small scale for some time past, and al? together ont of proportion to the requirements of so laige a population, O 1 tbe other band, the exports to China have been greatly oh the increase* These, however, have-been rapidly absorbed, especially so tar as tbe Northern ports are concerned-a fact which goes far to prove that we ate as yet unaware of the great capabilities of the China market, trade with which would almost' appear to be in its in? fancy. The American markets have also sbared in the improved feeling, not^ however, from an exhaustion of'stocks, which are at present av fficiontly large, but rather from the growing belief that cotton must continue to advance in consequence of the altered aspeat of affairs. From ?South Am?rica, too, the reports are such as to lead to the belief that,, now that politics bave assumed a more peaceful attitude, the usual supplies of cotton goods will be requ red. From this changed position of the cotton goods market, it ii evident that an increased demand for raw cotton may be anticipated. It is difficult to see, however, how any great? ly increased demand can be satisfied out of Eresent resources. The quantity of ootton on and in Liverpool is very small, having onlv in? creased by 13,700 bales since the oneningr of the Tear. It may be noted that tbe averageHtock held twenty years ended 1860 was nc less tu au 747,000 bales, tbe auan?tv on band at the nmwDt nmo Deiog Soo SOO, or leas LUAU nair that amount. Even if we take the case of the last three -years, the stock is at an un? usually low ebb. Jn. ?pim *??*? wy **uan?ty neu? was 1,0% 000 bales; in 1867, 738.000; and in 1868, 601.000-the average being 788.000 bales. It bas, however, been gradu? ally declining, until it has reached the present low figure. But any increase in consumption won ld force prices up to such a point as to prohibit shipments of goods to any great ex? tent, and we doubt if the foreign markets are yet sufficient denuded of gooda to allow of any material increase in prices abroad. For this reason we incline to the belief that the Activity which ba's lately set-in through the Manches? ter, market is of a temporary nature, and will pot. be maintained in tho ? face of a continued rise in the price of the raw m i ter i ah Special Millet*. tar BOUSE THE SYSTEM -IT IS A BAD thing to pass through life only half alive.. Vet there are thousands whose habitual condition ls one of iangour and debility. They complain of no specific disease; they suffer no positive pain; but they have no relish for anything which affords mental or sen? sual pleasure to their more robust and energetic fellow-beings. In nine ca>ea ont of tea. this state of lassitude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indigestion destroys the energy of both mir d and body. When tho wasts of nature ia not supplied by a du J an 1 regular assimilation ot the food, every organ is starved, every fuuctioa Interrupted. Now, what doe? common sense suggest under these circumstances of depression ? The. system needs rousing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or two, to sink afterward into a more pl tish) - condltion than ever, (aa lt assuredly would do if ai? ordinary alooholic stimulant were resorted to,) but radi ally and permanent'y.
