We regard the Mercury very highly, nnd have repeatedly preecnted its claims to the public throngh ' oar columns. But if an exchange with the En- ' terprixe cannot be afforded wo will not urge it Weather Prophet at Fault. I Some time since we notioed the prediction of ( some one going the rounds, that net a drop of 1 rain would fall during the month of May this r year. He SAid that no rain had fallen in the f month of May in any of the'*69'e for the past five t centuries, nnd hence liis prediction, wi suppose. a But what has been is not now, for already much t bain has fallen this month, nnd during the past " week especially. So much for the prediction?it lias all been washed a war.. I ....V ? I The War in Europe. c Active preparations have been going on for ^ some time past in Europe, tending to a general j war between Austria nnd the combined powers of t Sardinia, France, nnd, perhaps other continental j powers. The latest intelligence received is to j the effect that actual hostilities had commenced, f] land that an engagement hud taken place be- 8 tween the Austrian troops and a body of Sardi- u nians, at the Bridge of Bnffulorn, which resulted v in the triumph of the former. The whole of Eu- j, rope will, no doubt, become involved in n bloody j ^ revolution. It is another struggle of republican- I ; ism against despotism, lite result of which cnn | scarcely be anticipated. Italy is to he the scene of strife, lite fires of republicanism which hnve ? silently burned in the brensls of the noble sons of ^ Italy liavo again broke forth, and, may, we trust, j( with an enthusiasm nnd strength which will car- v ry the standard of liberty in triumph through _ the war.

C As a matter of duty, being a " high private," ti we attended the parade of tho 1st Battalion at el Ycargin's Old Field on Saturday Inst, and we p might add that, looking, as wo do, \ipoi the pre- ai sent militia system as being, if not a farce, at a least productive of no good, we considered It an ci onerous one. Hucli, too, we are satisfied, was not t< alone onr feelings, but that of many others; but a the law reqnirod it at onr hands, and we must., n li:? good citizens, ' lay down de shovel an' do a lioe," and take up our arms?and for what? not, n as we conceive, to do our country a service?for . wherein docs good result to her from making ber itizens perform a thing merely to fill the requirements of a law which is acknowledged to be f< productive of so little, if any, good?but to do t' what is tailed a duty.

We have been banded a copy of the "Histoy of the Religious Denominations of the United itntCB and Great Britain," together with tlis American Farmer's New and Universal Hand 3ook," by Mr. Lancaster, who represents the niblieher, Charles Dksilvkb, of Philadelphia. )ur limits forbid on extensive notice of these >ooks, but among the merits of the former, if tot, indeed, the busis of them ull, we notice the net that it is not a mere compilation, but is made ip of nctual contributions by learned, able nud ccept.ed cxponauts of the respective denomina iuhp i vju-ercmou, vo uic numucr oi nity or more rticles.

It is n voluminous rork, comprising some eight hundred pages; landsomvly gotten up, well printed on fine pa>er, and substantially bound. AVe take pleasure n commending this book to every man whose ihrnry wants one more volume. The American Farmer's Hand Book prolounecs its own encomium, and needs no other noise.

Ve think this is such a book. It abounds in digrams of the latest and best improvements in lie various agricultural implements; affords lost valuable hints on the adaptation of crops a soils and climates, and furnishes numerous nggestiens for tlie preservation of the forthconing crops against the attacks of their ever busy nd numerous enemies. We think, in this deartment, no better investment of its price can e made. These hooks form part of a list of the late ublicntions of Dksilyer, mostly school books, hich latter, comprising Lord's Modern History, o. United States, Johnson's Turner's Chemistrj', o.

This feet is their highest commendsion, for much as our schools have wanted some hanges in their text hooks, the wisdom of the rofession with us, does not regard every change s an improvement We claim for our schools high order of merit, and this presupposes a orrespouding soundness in the judgment of our lechers. If, therefore, the books referred to re accepted by our schools, the publisher need ot scruple to offer them wherever the best only re put in service. ATI those books are on sale t Mr. J. C. P.

C.. to the capiW at Washington, passing over some seven hundred miloi of travel i Being one of thoso whoso privilege it wu to attend the Baptist Convention of tho Southern States held at Richmond on the Ath May. inst., I had an opportunity of sojourning in that city for four or flvo days, aud to witness the deliberations of the Convention. It was pleasant to sec upwards of firo hundred delegates in tho Convention. Many of tlirm ranking among the ablest ministers of tbo South, and many also of highly educated and intellectual laymen. I doubt if thoro has assembled at any time, in this generation, a voluntary meeting comprising more intellectual and moral worth. Tho religious meetings of the North cannot compare with our Southern assemblies of the tame kind, for they gonerally adopt tho Abolition platform, nnd necessarily comprise fanatics and icalots who stnltify themselves with theddea of mending God's creation aud God's Book, who not only make the negro equal in every capacity to the white man bat anticipate his superior advancement. I have just seen it gravely set forth, in a leading religious Newspaper of tho North, that the editor anticipates the time when Africa sbull bccomo a great empire, fully equaling, and perhaps surpassing the United States, in power and glory and intelligence. In other words, that tho land of Washlugton and tho white race of Juphct shall be underlings compared to the black descendants of Uio race of Ham ! Such is a phase of Northern religion and philosophy i Tbo Convention was organised by the election of Dr. Richard Fuller, President, and Dr. Jeter first Vice Prosidcnt. Kev. Win. Carey Crane and Rev. George B. Taylor, Secretaries, and J. J. Toon, Treasurer. Dr. B. C. Howell was first elected to the Chair, but docliuod accepting the honor ou grounds satisfactory to tho Convention. 1 He business of the Convention relates chiefly to Foreign and Domcstio Missions. The old Boards were re-appointed. The Foreign Board is located at Iticbmond, tho Domestic Board at Marion, Ala., and the Bible Board at Nashville. The Southern Central Theological Seminary,which has boon located at Greenville, 8. C., was not discussed in tbe Convention farther than to hear an interesting speech and vorbal report from Ber. Dr. B. Mauly, ono of the TruVtoos, who stated that the Trustees had held their meeting daring the sitting Of the Convention, and bad filled all the professorships, stating tho gratifying fact that tbroo of tho fonr, vis : Rev. J. P. Boycc, of our town, Rev. John H. Broadus, of Virginia, and Rev. B. Manly, Jr., now of Richmond, had actually accepted their appointments. Rev. Mr. Williams, of Georgia, now a professor in Morocr University, was appointed a professor in the place of Rev. E. T. Winkler, of Charleston, who bad declined accepting on tho ground of tho snperior claims of duty to bis chureh in Charleston. It is hoped that Mr. Williams will accept, there being no known impediment to his doing so. It is arranged that the Tbeologisal Seminary shall go into operation in Oetober next. The reports submitted by the Boards of tho Convention were all able and interesting?that of the Foreign Mission Board peculiarly so. Tbe facts and information embodied in it would interest all your readers, but your space does not admit a synopsis in this tftsssiskslie. We had exceedingly interesting addresses from Rev. Won. Yates, of tbe China Mission, and from Mr. Clark, of the African Mission. Tbe fointer gave a great doal of information in regard to the inner life of the Chinese, their religions and social customs, Ac. He obtifirms the fact that China is now thrown Wide open for the reception of Chris linn Missionaries. He ie shortly to return to Shanghai. It is romorkablo that China. at this time, after to many centuries of almost utter seclusion, affords to the American citisen, and cbHstlans in general, much hotter menrity for exercising the sights of j conscience and public religious worship, than any kingdom of Kurope, except England. At ons step i a hoatben nation has placed herself "far in advance in this respect to the Papal and Lutheran countries of old Europe. Nothing Is se hostile to the righte of conscience as that Great llesst. Church and State. The fear of revolution, as it has in England, Trill alone fndoee it to tolerate the liberty of the soul,? In one rcapcot China Is eveo ahead of England in , religious liberty, for England compels her dissenting . subjects against tbeit will to contribute to support the established cfcusch.

Having had the pleasure of attending thi a celebration, we hope that a brief notice of it njay not prove devoid of interest to those of your readers who were not so highly favored, and to the many friends of the orator'* family throughout the State. The Philosophian and Adelphfan Societies formed the procession at the Old Baptist Church, and marched to the New Court House under the oommand of Messrs. T. C. Davant and G P. Andoraon, their respective Marshals, at Si o'clock, P. M. The exerciaoa of the occotlon were then opened with an appropriate prayer by Prof. M. W. Saras, after which the Anniversary Orator, Mr. C. M. Furnian, Jr., was introduced by Mr. W. E. Eat-le. Mr. Furronn i? a very young man, of rather prepossessing appearance, with a noble face and fine expression, but his personal appearance is 1 soon lost sight of in his eloquent and interesting address, which received the undivided attention 1 of a large audience, In which we thought there were many more than the usual number of pretty fnces, a fact well calenlntcd to inapirc any speaker, especially a young one. His subject urns one which must commend itself to every true Southerner as fraught with peenliar interest, and one which I nm happy to believe is at last beginning to oiill forth that Interest, and to receive that attention which its importance most reasonably demands?" LmnAur Emulation tiik Hop* or tiik South." The rapid progress and tho political position to which our country has attained, and the pre soni puliation or tue South in the. Union, were Ably portrayed, as was, also, tlie cflecU of intcl- ' lectual power upon the greatness and stability of nations, which was we)) illustrated from both 1 ancient and modern governments. The literary 1 situation of the South was then considered, and 1 its dependence, In this respect, proved to be, not 1 owing to n want of intellect, but to a habit of dependence engendered when, us colonies, th* '( South looked to the Mother Country on account i of the then greater facilities; and as the necct- ' sity of this dependence had long tiuct ceased to exist, the importance of the Sooth throwing off the habit which it had originated, was most eloquently urged. P There was no Attempt made at display, (which, J by the way, is too frequently Die case.) but the speaker seemed fully impresed with the importance of his subject, and exhibited much deep thought, and research, and I can but teel that 1 do him great injustice in so brief a notice of an < oration which a close analytical critic, a gentle ' man of acknowledged ability, has pronounced to ' be " on unpretending but mnnly production." , We congratulate the Society upon tlje honor | and credit her orator murt reflect upon her, ' We considered the hour for the address as rather unfortunate, ns It was oppressively warm, i but have understood that the Faeultv of tlia Unl r " vereity have refused to grant the Societies the whole day for their eelebrations, hut we think they should give them this encouragement, for literary societies in institutions of learning must prove of great benefit where the proper interest is taken in them. The Adclphian Society gave a party in the eveniog, and the large parlor and the promenade piazzas of the Mansion House were thronged with the beauty and fashion of ths " Queen City of the Mountains."
