9 SSSSSSSSSBSSBSBSBSSSSiSSSSSBSSSSSBttBBtKt Hanging of Anthony Bewley. The Methodist preacher hting Jn Texfor his active participation in tbo -volition riots and (tree in ibat country, us out to be the Rev. Anthony Bew.. a native of East Tennessee, and for.. oily a member of the IloUton Con* once, lie was bom and raised at . j mouth of Lick Creek, on CLueky iver, and married Miss Winton, of : >?ne couutv. about the vear 1834. and portly after removed to the West.? o knew him personally, and knev ,.n to be a clever and upright man, t always anti-slavery, and rather a tbborh'man in matters of opinion. i the time of hie hanging, he was a _ -inber of the Arkansas Conference, " I he hi\d twice boeo elected to the , i.-ueral Conference, ?o that be waa a in of some prominence. The Christian Advocate and Journal, o organ of the- Northern Methodic hiircb, states he was a very detout, ?nstand inoffensive man, aud that the enee for which he was hung, was it of being a Minuter of the North* :i Methodist Church, or as ho Styles it. The Methodist Episcopal Church." is not true that they hung inen in xas for being Ministers of the Metli !isl Episcopal Church. The Texas iirntinn Advocate, ono of the organs the Southern Methodist Church, says r. Bewley was hung for being on tuff abolitionist, and that upon bis . ial, a majority of the three hundred >en condemned him and passed sennee. The New Yoik Advocate pioounccs this a M murderous work." <ot more so, in our judgment, than > insurrection and burning of towns . i Texas, under tho direcliou of those .'.sociatod with Mr. Bewley. Arkansas and Texas fell to LheSouth n Church, after tho sepa.a'.ion in j4 4, and Mr. Bewley knew it, and had r.o u,i.i"C9s there, but should have .nited his fortunes with lho>o of the ndiana cr Illinois Conferences, undo' he care of tho Northern Church, and :it and out abolitionists. Above all, a had no lusiness there, meddling .. hh tho domestic institutions of the eel for tlic fiiends and relatives of Mr. . Rowley, we must be permitted to say ' at the people of Texas served him *'ght. If he had been our brothor, we . lion Id say he ought to have been hung. The New Yoik Advocate says he * " devoutly pious and inoflvnive." If this be the case, hanging ?ns " a short cut " to the Kingdom of lod. and to the crossing of a " Itiver, he streams wbe eof shall make glad no City of God." And ere this timo he lievereitd Abolitionist 1ms realized the truth of tho declaration of a modern poet : " Celestial fruit from earthly erounJ, Trout faith and hope may grow." * [JJrotcnlou'a Whig. T^F.VrLOl'MENT8 IN MARLBOKOCCH. We loam that stailling developments have been made in Marlhorongh, and i'.ie whole community thrown into a i-tato of gieat excitement. Two citizens vf Western New York have been ar:csted, who had under their care a large stand of arms. They were searchid, and invoices found tailing for another Aot, amounting in all. we are informed, to about twelve hundred. The arms were consigned to paities in Wilmington, to which place a gentleman had been sent to make investigations, i.tid to secure others who may he impli?alcd. Their complicity and direct gency were so thoroughly established, hat they were committed to jail. The lading was so intense that it was with ^teat difficulty that their violent seizuie .-.ml immediate execution could he prevented. Judge Whitner, who was holding Court (here, interposed, and dually succeeded in staring the feeling : ml reserving them as victims for more 'egal preceedtue.

Seckssion of soptn Caroi.ika.?The ; Chronicle savs it does not believe any ( Slate in the Union would object at all tb South Carolina's going out of the * Union, and says "joy go with her." Does our neighbor mean that South Carolina is so contemptible a fragment ] of the South that her policy is a matter of indifference to her Southern sisters ? We caunoi think the editor intended to convey toeh an idea ; for, however she , may <liff**r from her Southern sister t States iu her views of State policy, her 1 commercial relations with tho contigu- ' ous States render her action of t|io very < highest interest to them, and to none of | thein store than Georgia; and the with- ] drawal of South Carolina, even if ac- * complished peacefully, and without the * co-operation of her sister States, would J very materially affect our commerci I ] relations to and through her, which are 1 now very extensive and important to J both parties. I We have no idea South Carolina? ? though more restive under oblignliun 1 aggressions than sotue of her sister J States?will deem it to her interest to 1 secede alone; for we do not believe such 1 a measure justifiable, .except under such grievances as will also render it ad visit- i ble for the other slave Slates to go with 1 her.?Augusta Disjxitck. . ? - Jlflj Birds ok a Fratiikr.?The 1h(chH|E telligence from Oregon is to the enwt that in the House of Representative* a coalition had been formed betwee/i the Douglas and Black Republican members, under which tlid House waworganized l?v the election of Douglas and Black Republican officer*.' In the Senate the same coalition existed ; and two I Black Republican United States Senators would have been elected, had not six Breckiniidge Senators left the seat of Government, thus preventing a quorum. The Sergeant at-Arms was sent to arrest the absconding Senators, but had not succeeded. What can the Southern supporters of this Mulatto Republican candidate for the Presidency say for themselves now f This is?iot the first, nor will it be the lastcoalilion their favorite will form with the Black Republicans. If Douglas' Southern supporters do not repudiate him now, he will certainly repudiate them immediately after the election. [('Aerate GuzcLte. For Secession.-^Tlio Ilnntaville (Ala.)
