kind and accommodating, and one. of the most |

f -Tlie Editor boasts that lie receives a peck full
of letters every morning, containing the money
for subscriptions; and his success, is the success
of ai! kindred presses at the North. 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

Serenade ami Speeches.
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. II. Farnwell ltbett referred, in I
thrilling tones, to the illustrious deceased, with ?
whom liediad acted in the incipience of the i
measures which were now so rapidly ripening, r
They were not dead; their spirits, their exam- a
pie, called upon lis to rise to the level of the fi
great duty before us. 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. South (ja- 1

Athens had been to Greece, and she owed to tl
it herself) to interpose'lief sovereignty in this P
great crisis in behalf of regulated liberty. Sl
Ex-Gov. Adams showed that every cl..ss of 11
our people were equally and vitally interested
in the decision of this iimlter. His advice was
to try the virtue of the great principle of State *Eights
and the remedy of separate State ac- '
lion, ii.is faith ii. the doctrine had increased ti
with the necessity fur its exercise. The con- '
test was upon us, and nothing but the most ac- P
tivc measures could take us safety through it. "
lev, Adams scouted the idea of coercion. The l'
secession of Slates to the present Government '
was not the result in any degree of force; their f
withdrawal, in spite of the empty threats of 11
Douglas at Norfolk, where he pandered to the "
Black liepulilicaa, could not be prevented by 'J
force. "

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 Future of Italy.
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

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

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. I". World.
TllE.Vr.MENT OF WOMEN IN FoiiMElt TlMKS. From
the subversion of the Unman Empire to
the fourteenth or fifteenth ccntnrv, women
spent most of their time alone, almost strangers
to the joys oI social life; they sehloni went
abroad hut to he spectators of such public diversions
and amusements as the fashions of the
times countenanced. Francis I. was the first
who introduced women on public days to
court; before his time nothing was to be seen
in any of the courts in Europe hut grav-bearded
politicians, plotting the destruction of the rights
and liberties of mankind, and warriors clad in

wagon opposite the entranced proprietor, lie
inserted his li ind and drew it forth grasping a
noble specimen of the fruit. His success was
witnessed by others who made the same attempt
with eijual gond fortune, until, at last, their
increasing numbers attracted ihe attention of
the owner, who at once commenced "repelling
boarders." Jhit it was too late?the eneiny
| had become too strong?the battle cry "Apples!
I apples !" went up, and the fortress was assaulted
and carried by a swarm of boys, in spite of
the vigorous defence of the garrison. While
[ be ejected them at cue end they boarded in
crowds at tbo other. For every one lie pushed
out in the rear, five poured in at the front.
Those who obtained a temporary fooling
liberally threw a share of the spoil to those
outside. The driver, seeing the peril of the
garrison, dismounted and rushed to the rescue
with his whip, plying it rapidly on the boys
legs, though laughing heartily at the ludicrous
dilemma of hi? partner, it seemed at one time
that the apple merchants would have to surrender
their entire stock in trade, as the assailants
were multiplying prodigiously, but the
row attracted the notice of the police, who
came in force to the succor of the buluagurcd
fortress, and repelled the assailants. The apple
men departed poorer, hut wiser men, declaring
they would uevor drive an apple-wagon within
a mile of an Augusta crowd again.

"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.

Sonic eighteen or twenty months since, a
couple of gentlemen, accompanied by a lady
ami an infant child, the latter not more than
a month or six weeks ol J, arrived on the Southern
train, and registered at Jarratt's Hotel.
'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
