How is it . with Southern presses, faithful to the rights and institutions of the South ? Take the Charles- -i too Mercury, which, for thirty-five years, has s been a prominent press in the South?what : Las been the fate of its Editors! The first 1 i ruined?the second barely earned a narrow sub- 1 sistcncc?the third injured, bnt sold out in 1 time?the fourth died a ruined urn. The 1 jifth is our humble selves, of whom we will say i .nothing. What paper at the North has brought ( to the public understanding, more ability, el- t oqucncc or fidelity, than the Charleston Mercury, (we speak not of ourselves) ? The c have a fbeeu brains and labor enough in it. to have s .-amassed a dozen fortunes. Yet, how meagre [ Otas been the patronage conferred upon it com- c jpared with its Northern contemporaries ? How 1 nuany tens of thousands of dollars due to it, a Ouivc been lost, uncollpctnhlc and unpaid! How e aaany tens of thousands of dollars are now due t to it?and chiefly-by the very men?the plan- r iters?thf slaveholders of the South?whose 1 property and-institutions--whose liberties and h V Jives, it Ii3s labored to protect ? If its priuci- 1 pies and policy were for sale to-morrow, in tl Wall-street, in New York, it could with ease s< "realize a hundred thousand dollars. We know sc what we say. Elwood Fisher sunk a fortune ci of forty thousand dollars in the contest ol ii 1850-52, by his press in Washington, in the hi perilous enterprise of defending the rights and Si institutions of the South. .Arc the defenders fii of the South by the public press, iu the greater al contest of 1660, to be Elwood Fishers? Let fthe slaveholders of the South imitate, at least, the - enlightened selfishness of the people of the tl, .North, and support with a becoming energy, c(l ,thosc presses which arc faithful to their in- |K tgrests and institutions. The public press is th ,said to be" the fourth cs'ati in England. In ta pbi-t country; it is th i sole estate.

An immense and enthusiastic audience assembled last evening before the Congarue t House, to do honor to distinguished visitors t Icnowu to be in the city. In response to re- [ peate.l and hearty calls, Senator Chesnut came t forward, and in earnest and patriotic language i pictured the purposes of the J'daek Republican [ party-towanls the South. He exhibited the ( South as "at the initial ppint of great and stir- 1 ring events. But two courses were open for t her to pureuc?one, that of acquiescence in the t election of the Black Republican candidate, 1 with a train of the most direful consequences, J and with tho certain fate-of degradation and i ruin; the other, that of the "most determined, t and at the same time trustful resistance. He i :?- ' .i- 1: :.i. . urged uku me ouiie 01 omiui i/struiiiui, wuu out bravado of any kind, should unfurl the t nictto tiag, assert and exercise her sovereignty, 1 and knowing herself to be ri//if, to peril all in t its maintenance. c Gen. Lonham followed in a spirited address, t in which ho deprecated delay in the assertion of the separate secession of the State of South ' Carolina from the Federal Union in the con- J tiagency of Lincoln's election, iler action I would, in hisjndginc nt, he the signal of a coin- t bincd Southern movement, that would ineviti.- s biy be crowned with brilliant success. < Tiie lion.

That duty lie hud long f counselled; it was to escape the fanaticism,the t injustice, the greed, and the shameless effrou- 11 tery of our foes, by taking our destiny into our ^ hands. The quest-ion to he decided, was wlictli- v er we would submit to be ruled by the North, h or whether we Would, like men and freemen, 11 resolve to govern ourselves. Mr. -Kent very ? happily ridiculed the idea of any invasion of 1 our soil, and in any event called upou the conn- 0 trv to stand fast by rijflit and duty.

A Sad Affair at Norfolk?A Father * Accidentally Shoots His Daughter Dead. -7A .most heart-rending accident occurred at- c Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday evening, affording ? mother awful warning to those handling lireirms. It appears that Mr. Jesse T. Newell, a worthy citizen and indulgent parent, went lome from business about sunset, and finding fi lis little son playing in the house and yard p with a pistol, not supposed to be loaded, took n t from him, and while examining it, it was ac- p sidcntally discharged. The bay Book thus v, ells the rest of the truly sad story: Lanra (Mr. Ncwell's daughter,) a beautiful ai md interesting little girl of nine summers, was t] c-A 1- xl- * emeu on ujc scops getting tier lesson when the si; listol went oft", and ins ton My jumping up she b< xclaiincd, uOh'! pi, you hove killed vie ?' ^], Vs she said this, the blood burst from her nose nd mouth ! She fell forward and instantly th xpired. The pistol had been charged with m wo buckshot, both of winch had entered her yj ight breast and perforated her right lung. 'he great shock, together with the internal vr emorrnage, produced almost instant death. Qj 'he unhappy father, almost bereft of reason by ic distressing and heart-rending accident, he night, in his frenzy, to take his own life. He n'zed a knife and made a desperate effort' to pU vt his throat, but was prevented from steepig his family in still deeper grief by some of 10 is friends, who happened to rush up in time, thi jotlnng draughts were given him, and he j,i lally became quieted, and retired with an c|c most broken heart.

The par- ',ri :ulars, as far as we have been able to ascer- C01 in tlicm, are as follows:?One morning last jek a gentleman of that county found that all Da > slaves had left his place, with the exception lasi one boy, who, on being questioned, and to fan jape punishment for some negligence, in- bis mod bis master that the negros had gone off hoi th some Irishmen, employed on the A. cfc C. tnr nal, for the purpose of gaining their free- haj ui. The gentleman immediately informed wit i neighbors, who hastily collected and went cd er the fugitives. They found them encamp- cia ucar the Canal, and attacked them. In the anc lit which ensued, two of the villainous insti- the .ors were killed, and a number of the Com- wit ants w ere wounded.

TIic speech of Count Cavonr in the aiincxaion debate in tSie Sardinian Chamber explains lie reconciliation of policy which has taken dace between him and Garibaldi. The qtiesion of the incorporation of Venice and Home nto the {.^'eat scheme of Italian unity is postloucd, not abandoned. Six months, in Count Javour's opinion, will suffice to change entirey the circumstances which at present prevent heir absorbtion. "Wc desire," he says, "that lie Eternal City shall become the capital of taly, and as to Venice, when we convince iuropc that we are capable of delivering her maided, it will no longer continue to oppose he fulfillment of this great duty." Entertainng and boldly expressing such opinions, it is lot to be wondered at that Garibaldi should brget his old resentments and suffer himself to ie controlled by the views of a man whose pariotism only differs from his in the greater :aution which his training as a statesman dioates to him. To Europe the future of Italy is as distinctly napped out in this speech of the Sardinian ? * - .'i* h -I 1? 4 1 1 .1.^ . rentier as u it were aueauy uaucu i?j me land of the historian. The despots of the coninciit may league together, France may purlin a seifisli and grasping policy, hut they can lo nothing against a nation composed of 24,100,000 of as brave and intelligent a people as iny under the sun, united under constitutional ustilutious, and bound together by the memovol'their long sufferings as well us of their nieicnt greatness. For the first time since the all of the liojnan Empire, the Italian people iud themselves again forming a distinct naionality and owning allegiance to one Govcrtineiit. In endeavoring to keep Rome and Venice forcibly separated from the union of I'hich they form necessary parts, the European loveriimonts attempt ah impossibility. They icither uiake allowance for the natural laws rliich govern such matters nor for the iufiti:nce of historical associations over the minds f a newly emancipated people. Without loine as the capital and centre of its revived urionulity, and without Venice as one of its itsd commercial as well as political necessities, talv will licver rest satisfied. It is vain, then, jr the European Governments to assume that liey can defeat the natural aspirations of a eoj le to possess the memorials after having aized upon the substance of their former greatess. Nor is it likely that this policy will be pcravcred iu. We arc of opinion, with Count Javour, that but a short time will snllcc to ouvinoc the Continental Governments that liuir own stability autl the tranquility of ?uope tlepeud upon its renunciation. 13y comclling the cession of Home and Venice to the cw Italian kingdom they will put a curb on lie future aggressions of France, and remove qui their minds, two constant and fruitful jui ces of anxiety. With the Eternal City as :s capital, and Venice as one of its great comlorcial emporiums, regenerated Italy will soon cgiii to exercise over the politics and comicrce of Europe, the same wide-spread inHu1100 that, under other forms, it wielded fifteen . nturioS back.

A A i Progress of Heathenism in .lew York. It is a note-worthy fact that in the lower part of the Fifteenth ward, there nre now no less than five church edifices for sale. In the wards belowj the number of churches have been diminishing?so that now in the First there is but one, Trinity; in the Second but three ; in the Third but two, St. Paul's and the lioinaii Catholic ; in the Fourth but three; in the Sev cnth, with a population of 35,000, but six, and they so small as to be able to accommodate - "aaa ? i i,-!_ ? oniy ouuu persons; auu uiu ijiut unm, mm .? population ot'80,000, has church accommodations for only ten thousand. During the last twenty years, thirty two churches have been sold out below Grand-street, and no others have been erected in their places, though, notwithstanding all the encroach incuts of business, the resident population below that line is now far larger than then. We will not speak of the painful thinness of the congregations in the few churches that are left?averaging probably not more tlian four hundred each. Nor will we dwell uj 0:1 the character of those congregations generally, but they certainly do not consist of those who have the most need of religious instruction. They include very few of that great multitude of poor working men, whose only opportunity for mental, moral and religious culture is 011 the Sabbath. Have our church bells ever drawn a hundredth part of the m iss of laboring men and women that last week astonished our gaze in the great thor oughfarc ? Do we see our cheaper seats, onr aisles, and our galleries crowded with pale faces, the horny hands the coarse linen of those who do the rough work of this metropolis? Where are the myriads of toiling and suffering humanity ? It would be a large calculation to reckon that a hundred out of a thousand of them hear preaching ; where arc the other nine hundred ? We take it, none will dare say, with the Pharisee of old : "This people are accursed;" nor will any imagine that! these nine hundred are engaged in private' prayer, or otherwise observing the Sabbath. LIow many of them are taking their grog, or sleeping, or talking politics, or fighting. or seeing their dogs fight, or quarreling with their wives, 01* simply doing no li ng at all; being jaded, wearied, prostrated in a sort ofiieobdominal trance or coma?thai minor sort of; intoxication into which a very wearied man may be thrown by a single half-mug of bad beer or Iuilf-tumblcr of bad whisky. The fact is incontrovertible, that at least seven-tenths of the people of our lower wards live on from month- to month, and year to year, as destitute of religious instruction as the heathen in the interior of Africa.?iV.

The I*an a ma Rorri:.?The Panama railway is forty -seven ami :i half miles long. Passenger trains run over it in tiircc hour-, goods' trains in five. During the first four years, 121,820 passengers pascd; upwards of thirty-four millions of gold, and of silver nearly six millions, was conveyed across it. Almost ail the indigo and cochineal is now sent over the l'an ama railway, reaching England in less tlian thirty days; while, if sent round Capo Horn, it would take six months. Coal, timber, guano, munitions of war, ores, heavy machinery, whale oil, cocoa, Peruvian bark, ?fcc., arc transported over the line.

Oj /l?li "Xe<l l?untliittf," in his recollections of a visit to Xashvillo, tells the following: One evening shortly after lite close of the Mexican war, 1 t'oninl myself at the ohl "inn," once kept by the noble Ferguson, in company . .M l.\ . _ 1_ / t "I > * 11 V7 1 * .1 l wuii nana v. ., i'in i>., ami two or mree oilier friends who liri'l witli me faced ilcatli on tlie plains of .Mexico, ami altcnvanls "reveled in the hulls of Montezuma." We hail dined together, and the wine hAil not been ale, therefore, we felt inclined for any sort of fun which might present itself. A young man, of wry plausible address and most genteel appearance, had in sonic way got into the company, and though from somewords which had dropped, I knew he was a gambler. 1 contented myself with avoiding any conversation with him, letting the rest do as they pleased in regard to him. I heard them call him Moford. and afterwards learned that he came from a respectable stock. After we had drunk a few glasses at the bar to "top ?i|p with, a walk was proposed, and Moribrd volunteering to show the boys some fun, was selected an pilot. This did not please me overmuch, but I would not let any whim of mine break up the party, and so I went along. We visited various saloons in Union and other streets; and Morford, thinking he had got matters in the right train, started at the head of the party, for the faro-rooms of Sam IJ., one of the heaviest gamblers in the city, situated in Water street, aforesaid. We were passing a long brick building, but a short distance below the bridge, when a succession of screams, evidently from females, and other indications of a general row, full upon our ears. As the noise came from the brick building, we were not long in making an entrance thereto, and in a moment witnessed one of the most disgraceful scenes that men can ever look upon. Two frail women were engaged in a beastly fight, while other brutes, in the garb of men and women, were cnconragciiig the combat. The seciie diil not last ioiig?for Morford, with a cry of horror, sprang forward?and dashing the combatants apart, drew one toward him. *'(Jood heavens! Pauline?yon here ? he'exelaimcd, in voice of agony. "Pes, Henry," replied the girl, whose personal beauty was great, notwithstanding the evidence of intoxication, and whose .likeness to himself was striking, "you broke father's heart by turning gambler, and I thought I'd finish the work." She never finished the sentence that she had commenced. With a wild cry of despair, the young man drew a pistol from his pocket, and before a word could be spoken, or a hand raised to interfere, her brains bespattered the wall near where she stoo l. And while yet the report echoed in the room, and the stilling smoke rose over her holy, the young gambler cocked a second barrel o! his revolver, an ! coo'ly saying, "good-bye gentlemen, I must go with my sister!' fired, and fell a corpse be.-ido his \ictim.* It turned out to bo true that she was his sistor, and this was the first, knowledge lie had of her having, like himself, departed from the path of-">w and wiilue.

'Shortly after their arrival they stated to the servants that they were in pursuit of a wet nurse, the mother of the infant then with them, having died shortly after parturition had bectf consummated. One of the servants stated thatf he had a sister, a free woman of color, who* bad recently become ^ mother, and as she had? a superabundance of lacteal nourishment, would1 l no doubt cheerfully undertake to supply the' stranger infant. An interview with the nurse was obtained, and it was agreed that she should take the child three months, and receive as | compensation for her services, a gold watch and i . Soil in moiiev. The child, the watch and the money were handed over, the wet nurse agreeing to assume all the. duties, and pledging all the kindness and affection of a maternal relation. The three months sped away rapidly, the child in the meantime prospering in health and growing in size. But at the end of tho appointed time, those who had solemnly pledged to do so, came not, and the servant being without means save what she earned by her own labor, felt that the increase to her family imposed obligations which she could not discharge. The circumstances becoming noised about- the neighborhood, a lady residing in South Ward, who had been married sometime but was still childless, proposed to take charge of the little infant, and bestow upon it all the care and attention, which parental affection co dJ prompt. The proposal was assented to by the hither-' to colored guardian, and the lady took possession of the louder offspring, and has continued _ in possession up to the present day. Wc tin? dorstand that both she and hei husband bestow upon it all the care and affection that could be lavished upon "bone of their bone-and flesh of their flesh." They are in tiret devotedly attached to the sweet littly^chcrob, who is now eighteen months old, and one of the sprig, licst, most interesting atid prettiest little girls of her age in that part of the city where she resides. So far, not ono word has been received from the "lady and twj> gentlemen," who were to call again in three liionths, and as six times the period fixed upon Las passed away, it is suggested that probabl y the mysterious three are persons of trcaelic ous memory, and have entirely forgotten the circumstance. Should this fall under the eye of either, or all, they may rest assured that the child is in the care of those who are doing for her all that can be done, but stiil there 1:4 .1 mystery enveloping the ail'uir, which those acquainted with the circumstances would like to have unraveled. Curiosity is one of the s trongest passions which belong to human tiuti re, and for its gratification, mankind will end ire much and loug. Itis suggested, that pel chance the watch may he identified, and that such an event may ultimately reveal the iu jther of the little girl,.' who is at present in ignbvaneo of a fact, which,' when she arrives at ycais of discretion, will ever prove a source of melancholy and rcgrct^^tf l'therxburg Exijaati&k Tub Ck.vscs ok Gkm tionsof the town proncH tionahly our people are prepffffig to taiM of themselves, in the event of the succdM Hack Republicanism, i'iie agents of t^B Soil power are getting more chary in csfion of their sentiments and opinions sH the dul>) of Ike South; from all quartoiS ; the notes of resistance.
