In WhoAt Oin the South OtfeUt. In theat tlraea of trouble and public anxiotT. il is but natural that ihe weaker section honld glance over her galasy of men of talent, and east about for the great guiding spirits that are to stand a* helmsmen when . the breakers of fanaticism threaten to over ride and submerge that old kirk, built by patriot hands, and launched by pilgrim patriots, the Constitution. The South has many great spirits, good and trua, and many who, from superior endowments, large experience, unfaltering devotion to Southern interests, unflinching loyalty to constitutional behests, equality of individual rights, and democratic prerogatives, mark them as culminating stars in the twilight of befogged elements. In the person of lion. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, the South has a tower of strength, and a foetnan worthy of the steel of any knight. He is the great vindicator, the uncompromising defender and fearless advocate of Southern institutions, lie is the Polar star of the cotton firmament, and upon his shoulders rests the fulcrum of strict construction construed. Happily, he has an able, efficient and lova) colleague, Hon. Albert O. Urown. At the present we must concede the fact that Mississippi stands unti vailed in the United Slates Senate. Hon. James Green, of Missouri, comparatively a young man and a young Senator, has suddenly burst upon the public mind like a comet of the first magnitude, sweeping in its celestial circuit cohesive bodies, grinding to powder moon-like satellites, and engulphing * Little Giants." lie is the great slavery eeelinel of the Western Reserve. Hon. James 11. Hammond, of S. C? with one bold stroke of Senatorial eloquence, bounds like the chamois over the ragged and slippery steeps of trudging sentimentality and political trickery, and leaps into the ai roost inaccessible niche occupied by Calhoun, showing himself the worthy representative of that great people of the Palmetto State. Ho is the bold champion of ami compromise and anti-concession. Hon. R M. T. Hunter, ot Va., the Madison of his day, the peer of Calhoun, and his great representative ; the representative of the great Roman State of the Republic?the cmdle of American lil>er tv?the birth place of Washington, Jefferson, and religious freedom ; and the represetita tive of a Stato holding and practising the proudest and most expressive of all mottoes " Sic Semper Tyrannis." Mr. Ilunter is the model of American statesmen : a profound logician, an eloquent and bold debater, a thorough scholar, a financier of the Gallatin school, an expert draughtsman and courteous gentleman. litis the counterpart of Jcffoonian LMuocra CTlion. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, the Mu rat of the Senate?the iinjretuous and nervous declaimer?a profound thinker?the impassioned orator?the brilliant meteor and modern Saladin. Hon. J. P.

There are others just coming into notice, as such men as Garnett, of Ya., Atkins, of Tenn., and Gen. R. Davis, of Miss.

So literally is the decree of their dispersion fulfilled/that they are strangers to that occupation which, above all others, im Kites a resting place and a home.

They nearly monopolize the retail business of the country. We have never known of a Jew who was en gaged in mining, although there may be many such so occupied." To the first statement, that but one Isra elite in the United States is occupied in farming, we reply that it is false. At the same tune we cannot repress our surprise at the bold ignorant* of the real condition of the Israelite, which states this evident un truth. For, there are many 'Jews farmers in New Jersey and some in the West. Besides, not a few are proprietors of real estate.? That Isarel is dispersed upon the face of the earth, is the Lord's decree, and there are tew we think, who will need the illustrations and proofs of the writer of the above paragraph, to assure them of this fact. Still, the Israelites are far fmm being "strangers to that occupation, which, above all others, itn flies a resting place and home!" In Fiance. Germany, Ac. thou sands of Israelites are farmers, and perhaps few villages could be found where each Israelite does not possess ' sotne fields, fiom which to raise his wheat, corn, potatoes, ?fcc. The next statement gravely assure* us that the "Jews are traders, and not attached to the soil where they are found, hut ready, on the instant, to change their abode." Anyone having a knowledge of history, and who has but attentively read the accounts of the banishment of the Israelites from different countries in the mediaeval ages will at once perceive the gross untruth of this sentence, and the " brass" which is necessary to pub lislt false slander like this. The Israelites suffered themselves to be ground down by the most oppressive laws, they suffered them selves to be chained to the lot of a slave, rather than leave their second home in Por tugal. This nation, ** that is ready on the instant 'to change iu abode," offered enormous stuns for the privilege to remain in Spain, when Christian priests, prelates of the cr?y?*t the mild, gentle and im?*t Chris tiau Inquisition drove them, with their fami lie*, from ii'irn loVcil homes, from the country wlu?se rights they had defended as soldiers, whose coffers they had enriched as merchants, whose literature and art they had developed *as poets and painters. It were useless to cite other instances. ^ N. M. Wa?hinoton, April 1. Congressional?The Lkcompton Constitution Rejected.?In the Senate, to day, the army bill was passed, with the substitution of two for four regiments, exclusive of that for Texas. The Kansas hill, as passed by the House, was received, and Mr. Green, of Missouri, moved thai the Senate disagree to the amendment. The motion n ill be con- 1 tidered to-morrow. In the House, Mr. Stenhens. of Georrria. had scarcely moved to take tip the Kali-as , Hill, when Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, objected to the second tending. In such cases, by the rule* of the House, the question must be taken on the rejection of the bill. This was disagreed to, by a vote of 187 to 05. Mr. 1 Quit man. of Mississippi, then offered, as a I Mibstitn'e. the Senate Hill, with the exception < ?f the Pugh and Green provisos, declaring , thai the people have the tight to amend the | Constitution. This was defeated by a vote i>f 260 to 72. The vote was then taken on Mr. Crittenden's amendment as a substitute, and as amended by the anti Lecompton portion of the Democrats in the late conference. This was carried by eight majority. This amendment provides for the admission of Kansas, but refers the Constitution to the people for their vote ; if it Ire rejected, then a convention is to Ire orbed to form a new constitution, and as soon as the latter shall Ire approved, the President is to issue a pro clamation, and Kansas be admitted without fmther action by Congress.

God, in bis providence, has taught the Baptists of the South their need of one genera! theological seminary of the highest order. They have agreed to locate it at Greenville, provided South Carolina will contribute one hundred thousand dollar* to its endowment, to be met by another hundred thousand dollars from the other States. Of the amount to be given by South Carolina, the share of Greenville District, by a vote of ita own citizens, at a public meeting called to J consider ibis matter, was put down at twenty-five thousand dollars. A few citizens have already subscribed sixteen thousand dollars of this amount, and to the rest of the Distrtcl is left the balance?nine thousand dollar*. This must be made up amongst us. And at once. The canvass of the* State in general, thus far inade, proves that it will require every dollar of what can he elsewhere raised to make up the balance of the one hundred thousand dollars, and unless we I are willing to see the euterp?i*e fail, ohr cit- j iivns must make up the amount reasonably | ipffarded as their share. We have until th* I first of May tu secure it in bond* nnd cash. At that time the Convention called for the 1 organization of the institution, will meet at Greenville, and it it not unlikely that the I opportunity having been ifiven ua to secure its location among us, and we having failed I to embrace it, there will be other applicants for an advantage which, it is everywhere felt, is, to a town of our size, particularly with its institutions of learning, of incalculable value. M v own duty requires me to canvass other parts of the State during the interval.? If 1 have opportunity, I will gladly avail mvself of it, to call Upon any citizens of the District. The Committee of twenty-five, appointed to perform this duty at the District meeting, will, doubtless, see as many of the citizens as possible. Ye*, may I not hope that such an interest is felt in this mi'ter that every citizen, without waiting to bo culled on, will at once cotne forward and contiibute to the utmost of his ability.? Bonds will be taken, when it is not convenient to pay cash, payable in two in>tnb ments, the first on the first of January, 1859, the second on the first of January, 1860, drawing interest from the first of January la.?t.
