TIIE EAITII OF ISRAEL.
The Hebrew Copferenco In Philadel
phia? Important Resolutions Adopted.
A very important conference of Hebrew rab
bis was held last week lu Philadelphia. There were'
eleven gentlemen present from the principal cities
of the country. The meeting was called to order
by Rev. Dr. Hirsch, mi l. on motion of Dr. Ein
horn, the following olllccrs wcro uiiunlmously
elected: Row Dr. Hirsch, as president; Dr. Alder,
of New York, vice-president; Dr. McElzinger, of
New York, and Dr. Fcizushnl, of Chicago, us sec
retaries. Drs. Kinborn, K?hler, Hirsch and oth
ers submitted propositions on the principles of
public worship, marital laws, circumcision, the
institution of the Sabbath, religious Instruction,
Ac. The conference decided to consider the prin
ciples of public worship first, nnd ns a basis the
propositions submitted by Dr. Einhorn. Altera
lengthy discussion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
The Rabbinical Conference declares Hint Juda
ism In Its present phase of development confesses
the following principles to be embodied In public
wor'hlp :
First. Tho Messianic aim of Israel Is not the res
toration of the old Jewish state under a son or
David, the renewed segregation from t he nations,
hut the union or all men as children of God In the
confession of the one nntl only tied, or the unit v
of all rational beings and their ocation for uioriit
purity.
Second. Wo do not regard the destruction of
the Jewish stato as a punishment for the sins or
Israel, but as the corollary of tho Divine purpose
expressed In the promise to Abraham, and more
clearly developed In the course of hlsiorv?to send
tho members of the Jewish ruco to nil parts or the
earth In order to accomplish their htgli priestly
mission; to lead tho nations to the truokuowlcdgc
' and worship or God.
Third. The Anronic priesthood nnd the Mosaic
sacrificial worship were oulv preparatory steps
to Israel's notional priesthood, act null v beginning
with the dispersion or the Jewish '.e?ple, and lo
the sacrifice or the heart's dcvotl' n and moral
bimci lib a i h.rt us alone pleasing to Cod. These in
stitutions, therefore, designed to prepare a higher
state of religious sentiment, are altogether num
bered with the destruction or the second temple,
among the things of tho past, and In this sense
only?1. e. In their educational capacity?may be
mentioned In our prayers.
Fourth. Every distinction between Anronltv
and non-An runny, with reference to religious
privileges and duties, is, therefore, Inadmissible
lu public worship as well ns In practical life.
Fifth. The selection of Israel as a religious peo
ple, as bearer of Hie highest Idea of humanity,
must now, as ever, h? emphatically expressed,
and on that very account sluill tho world-em
bracing mission of Israel mid the equal love of
Ood towards all his children, be Just as distinctly
enunciated.
Sixth. Tho belief In a bodily rosnrrcctlon has
no religious foundation, and only tuo continued
spiritual existence Is to be expressed.
Seventh. However urgently nnd unremittingly
desirable astnc rtillllmeni or n sacred dnty tho
' ' cultivation of tho Hebrew Language, In which tho
Divine treasures of revelation aro stored, and tho
Immortal monuments of n literature governing
all civilized nations are preserved, Is In our midst,
yet since that language bus become actually un
intelligible to the larger majority of our co-rell
gionists, It must yield, on this very account, In
our prayer, which If not understood Is a soulless
- body to the vernacular as far as the existing clr
onrastanccs render It advisable.
.-.A Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Now York, "while
> not. desiring to roveal private conversation,"
nevertheless "would say that Father Hyacinthe
had brought letters to him from two French Pro
testant clergymen, speaking of him ns In close
communion with thorn, and taking the noble po
sition of Luther."

[I'KOM l)VU OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
COLUMBIA, NoVOinbCT fi.
The Howard school lor coloreil children In
this city tins Just Mulshed the first month of Its
present session, and may lie considered rally
under way Tor Its annual round. This, It will he
remembered. Is a school established by the partly
defunct Frcedinon's Bureau, and now supported
bjr charities from tho North?Sew Vork and Hus
ton principally. There arc eight teachers, all
white, female, and Northern. There arc four
hundred und thirty pupils, all colored, of bulh
sexes, ami ol ages varying apparently between
eight and twenty-one. There are more girls
than boys, und more of mixed colors than
wholly black. These arc arranged into eight
schools or classes, which are taught by the eight
teachers, one to each. The discipline throughout
the establishment, which is under the Buperlu
tendency or Miss Augusta Haley, is rigid and
carcrully enrorced. This is tin admirable feature
of the school. Nothing could be belter. From
a personal look over the establishment, and hear
ing their modo Of Instruction and of examination
in the several classes, I am enabled to express the
most favorable opinion ol the work or teaching
done here. It doubtless requires more than ordi
nary patience to teach colored children; and
this these tcac'.ers seem to have. I saw and
heard classes reciting in geography, arithmetic,
rcadlug, spelling nud writing rroni dictation, and
the recitations were as good as one could ex
pect? reflecting the highest credit upon the teach
ers, without any exception, and illustrating the
peculiar minds or the pupils. To compare these
recitations to those or white children or the same
nges would be unrnlr to the colored race. Tho at
tainments or these children arc gratifying to all
true friends or the race; and at the same thuc
serve to establish the fact that the ?fffertmee be
tween the white and black races is as clearly
marked in their minds, respectively, ns In their
physical organisms. This fact demonstrates the
necessity of dtllureut modes ol training and de
veloping these differently const It uted races. Oov
crnor Scott has taken this ground in his messages;
and Mr. Jillsou, the State Superintendent or Edu
cation, 1b known to hold the same views. So ap
pear to do all thinking men.
The I it cad River bridge, in the bands or Cap
tain Leo, the architect, is approaching comple
tion. Seven of the nine spans of framework are
already up. and we arc told to expect the work to
be Mulshed by the 1st of December.
Everything seems to be ready for the Agricul
tural Fair next Wednesday. An Immense crowd
of visitors Is expected. Ralu is needed to settle the
dust.
There arc said to be 20s. convicts In Btolbrnmi a
penitentlary, mostly negroes. No escapes have
transpired for several week*. Such a dearth or
fugitives is itself an item. "Once more lo I tic
breach, clear friends, once more." I.ct us have
an escape; an offer of reward, und then?silence.
The State enjoys such tilings?in a way.

THE AIHIEVILTjE FATE.
A Mitgnlflcciit Dlrjplay of stock.
[from our own correspondent.)
Abbeville, November 4.
I wish I had tho "pen of n ready writer,"
that 1 might give you a readable account of tho
existing Fair at this place. My notes of yesterday
gave you some idea or things generally; to-day I
must speak of'thlrigs partlcnlarly.
At ten o'clock the bugle sounded, the doors
opened, nud in a little while hundreds were
crowding the hall nud grounds. At eleven
o'clock, music in Hie stock yard enticed the
crowd thitherward, and directly was announced
n grand display or the horses; and such a display
1 have seldom seen. Pairs, for which ?10 J0 had
been refused, were not uncommon. Single draft
and sad die horses loo valuable for market; licet
racers and trotters, tho pride of their owners,
and the lllllputian pony, were all led In a grand
round through the lots, and a handsomer display
need not have been desired in the blue grass re
gions of Kentucky.
Music enlivened the scene, and presently the
announcement was made that the contest for pre
miums would occur In the hollow square in front
of the Courthouse. A few moments elapsed and
out came a span or magnificent blucks, ralssd lu
the district. These splendid animals wore, or
would have been, an ornament to any "Hing."
Then came the spans contending against the
world for Hie cup. These were followed by the
single baggy horses, nud thou the saddle horses
and ponies. In all of these "rings'' the contest
was clo?e, and often the committee were "bother
ed" about thei.- decision. That satisfaction was
universally given cannot I'n expected, but that
impartiality was shown, I think all hands agreed.
During this exhibition, which consumed near
Bix hours, the Immense throng were most orderly,
and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of every
one except the running away or ono or the single
buggy horses, by width accident a Mr. Orlllln was
thrown from his buggy nud seriously injured.
Every piazza, nnd window and door, opening on
the square, wns crowded by the fair, (not agricul
tural,) bnt the lovely, beautiful women of Ab
beville. Tho housetops, too, were In requisition,
and as for the square, it was but a moving mass.
Abbeville 19 Justly proud of herself, and she
throws down the glove to the rest or the State,
and bids them meet her in Columbia next week.
If one-half the stock and articles on exhibition
here are sent to Columbia, and each of the other
districts of the State sends half as much ns Abbe
ville, the State Fair will be a mammoth concern.
So mote it bo.
To-night I have attended a meeting of the Ab
beville Society, and listened with interest to ihclr
friendly discussion of the varions topics Intro
duced. They unanimously re-elected theiroillccrs,
and set on foot n scheme to make this society a
thing of the times. C. U.
MARION MATTERS.

Since the crowd, attracted by the largo land
sales or Monday last, left, our village has become
terribly dull am*, quiet. The sales referred lo as
tonished the despondent, and evince a new return
or our Southern fondness for real estate. A village
lot of ono hundred and twenty acres, with
dwelling houses, Ac, was sold privately for
?h800. It has been resold already for Sloco. Tho
public sales we a.-, .v copied from the local papers,
and will not reiterate. There are minora that tho
"Brown Hotel,'' and adjacent tract of four acres,
Is held for salo at a largo advance on its original
COSt Of $4165.
Ruslness generally seems dull. The shipments
of cotton, hitherto averaging about two hundred
bales per week, aro decreasing. To this time it
Ib estimated that tho shipments from this placo
Will reach ono thousand flvo hundred bales. Ac
counts from tho Interior of tho county show n
very general disposition to hold for an advance
In price. From tho larger area of cotton lands
cultivated this year the yield will amount to
about tlic same ns tho crop or isos, but tho crop
will not avcrago as much per ocro. Tho lato
heavy frosts will prevent many bolls nearly ma
tured from opening. Pbbdei.

[ruo.M OUR own CORRRSrONDENT.]
Rahmnoton, Kovontlier 4.
On lost Friday evening tlie Court of General
Sessions and Common liens for llils uouuty,
Judge Rutland presiding, adjourned, utter u ses
sion of three weeks, Hie ordinary session of two
weeks having been lengthened by the prefix of
an ext ra session of one week. The en I ire session,
with the exception of l wo days audit half, wus
occupied by the sessions court, and jet the Jail
was barely cleared, leaving untried the many in
dictments against parties out on bail.
Perhaps Iho most startling Incident of Hie ses
sions court wus the rendering of n verdict of
"not guilty," by a full negro jury, under a:> In
dictment 1er grand larceny, in the face of full,
positive and undisputed evidence of guilt. Re
lore the trial was had, the counsel lor the de
fence, in ?peil court, offered, on the part of the
accused, to plead guilty, provided the Judge
would assure a punishment not greater than I hat
prescribed for (tutit larceny, one of this enlight
ened jury, on being asked 10 explain so astonish
ing a verdict, replied Hint "Ibey could tint see any I
particular evidence against the accused."' lit I
the audience, generally, t lie result was uscribed
to the Influence of a most disreputable appeal lo
tlie prejudices of race and color, on the part of
tlie counsel for the defence.
During the progress of Iho Court of Sessions the
fact wus developed that the Governor of I he Stale
hud, by letter, ordered one of the wym iixi'jis
teuton ut the county to release, on bail, certain
parties who bad been arrested ou u charge of
murder?that the magistrate had obeyed (lie Ille
gal order, and supposing that tlie Governor knew
the law, had since released other parties charged
with tlie same offence. Of course. Governor
Scott is on one of the horns of the following di
lemma?either he is ignorant of the laws of the
State over wtilch he presides, or regardless of
those laws, lakes advantage of the Ignorance of
one of bis negro appointees to violate thent.
In the little time allowed the Court or Common
Pleas, liiaeh more was done I ban was expected.
The bar, generally, agreed to withdraw mere
t/inIII defences, and consequently the Judge went,
with a greut crash, through the sum. pro. nud
inquiry dockets, leaving but little behind. The
issue docket and the equity docket, however, are
still like great mountains ahead. When will our
dockets be reduced to u manageable sl/.cV?Is the
anxious question constantly troubling the' minds
of the lawyers and clients of tills county.
In the opinion of your correspondent, the Slay
law, Unter Xo. 10, und the various circumstances
that have, up to this time, contributed to block
our courts und render uncertain the condition or
property, have dime more damage to Iho mate
rial prosperity of this county than tlitt the war.
As an Illustration and proof, liiere is iho county
or Marlboro", where, lor the past two years. Irk
some 1'ortunntc accident, the dockets have been
manageable and the course or Justice unimpeded.
It Is, without dispute, the niosi prosperous county
or this section or the Stale, and lands, which, in
Ibis county, are regarded ns high ut six and
Soven dollars lier acre, sell there for twenty and
thirty dollars per acre. Our progress must con
thine to tie slow, so long as wo arc tied 10 Iho
dead body of antcAwltnni ttebt*.
Monday last was salcs-dav, and an unusually
largo and motley crowd Hllcilour public square.
Some 2000 acres ol land were sold, and a consid
erable amount of iiersonnl property. Tue pri?es
obtained excited a general and pleased surprise,
ami testified lo a very considerable Increase in
the value of the property of iho county. One
tract or land sold as high as ($s 50-103? eight and
a half dollars per neve. The continued depression
in the price of cotton afflict* very injuriously '111!
plans or every class or our citizens. The p; -? .
peel, or an early advance In the price, aim i lie
propriety or holding back i tic crop, uni 11 an ad
vance does take place, were the main subjects of
Iho sales-day talk.
Yesterday (Wednesday) there was sold at Tlin

estate belonging to tlie estate or John M. Tan

A Sketch of the Mi: g,:i i lit-cut Knterpri .e.i
ol' thu How York Dry GooiU Prince.
A New York letter says :
Among (lie future buildings of New York, there
is none which, for both utility and greatness of
conception, will exceed the two luuuuuolh hotels
which are to lie erected by A. T. Stewart, one for
young workiugwoiucn, and tlic other for young
men, and for which he souio.tltne ago appropria
ted the sum of ?0,000,000. That lor young women
is (o be situated on Fourth avenue, between
Thirty-second und Thlrty-ililrd-strcets, and here
the' excavations are being made and the fouiidu
Hons laid. The building will be six stories in
height, surmounted by a large Mansard roof,
upon the summit of which twelve towers, twenty
fonr feet In height and width, will be liullt, und
upon the street angles of tlic building similar tur
rets will be also placed, making thus ten lu num
ber, which will form graceful crowns to the heavy
structure below.
Tho main entrance will bo forty-eight feet In
width, the portico of which will be two stories
In height, consisting of massive columns with fo
liated capitals and bases, on octagon pedestals.
The first story will bo appropriated to stores, the
rents rrom which win materially aid toward de
fraying tho expenses of tlic establishment. Ill
ttic interior of the building will bo a courtyard
uinety-rour feet by one hundred and sixteen, and
Ihe hollow square thus formed by the surround
ing walls will bo beuutiilcd by n fountain, gold
fish, and In other ways. In the rear will be the
dining-room, thirty feet by ninety-two in dimen
sion, nnd In addition, and near tlic same size, will
be a hall for lectures, concerts and other recrea
tions. The sleeping rooms will be of two kinds,
the single, eight feet by nine, nnd those intended
for two persons, sixteen by eighteen feet. It has
been shown by experience that a marked prefer
ence lias been always evinced for single rooms by
occupants, save In the case of two friends' or
sisters, for which the double rooms arc provided.
Tlic entire arrangement Is made with u view to
furnish each working girl, who may become un
occupant, tho comforts and convenience* of a
hotel ut a small cost. All is, Indeed, contrived
with a view to comfort und convenience. The
kitciieii and laundry will be on thcniu?t improved
modern plans, and, as t other hotels, there will
be elevators for ascending, without fatigue, to the
upper stories. Good food will be provided at cost,
and on other restaurant principle, in order that
each young woman may regulate her expenses
according to what she may order. Like the other
buildings erected by Mr. Stewart, this will be
pure white, for which he ovlucv. a decided par
tlallty.
Nor In these enlarged conceptions for the ho
netlt of those employed by him is Mr. Stewart for
getful or unmindful of tho claims of self, for while
erecting hotels for working men and women, lie
builds n palace for himself. Such is, Indeed, his
prlvnto ii welling on Fifth Avelino, of which every
one has heard, which every one in New York has
seen, and which now approaches !'.< completion.
Tliis building Is of marble, of an enduring kind,
which to Hie eye presents the appearance of
granite, while Hie Unlshlng Inside Is throughout of
beautiful Italian marble, the work upon which
was executed In Italy. Tho style of architecture
Is pure Corinthian, and though only three stories
In height, the structure towers above tho sur
rounding houses, Inasmuch as each story Is
twenty feet In height. Roth within and without
there Is but little uhowy ornamentation, tho stylo
being chnsto nnd severe, grand without being
heavy, nnd elaborate without being fanciful. Tho
walls will be finished In a subdued color, bo as to
hnrmonlte with the blue-veined martitc, and the
doors will be of rosewood. The whole build lug,
with but little Hitcrntlon, could bo transformed
Into a magnificent art gallery, which, indeed, in
course of time, may not improbably take place;
the wardrobe and bathrooms olono suggesting the
Idea of a private residence; and one of the most
remarkable tentures Is ili<: vista presented by ?ne
room looking to unothcr. Most worthy of note,
also, is tho principal stiilrensc, tho cost of which
is almost falmlnna; ami beyond this, ami leading
from a spacious hall, c- tho picture gallery, which
Is to be aiiomeii with ihu rliiesl speelmemi of |
statuary ami painting, acollccllon of which Mr.
Stewart has been for some years making. Hy the
[ cnil of tin* winter it is supposed that the residence
will bo ready for occupation by Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart, who, from an elegant mansion across
Fifth Avenue, survey the dally progress of Hie
work.
