Times:?Euelosed. find '$2.00 for another ycar'a subscription, as I see by a Vi on the margin of wrapper* which reminds me that my subscription is out. Orangeburg District was onco my home, but now I live , in the Lone Stai State where I have been since 1855. Well do I recollect tho cold frosty morniug in Feb. thnt I bado good byo to the frieuds and acquaintances of my school-days in th.e old village, and took my course westward with an old friend as far as Blackvillc, whero I took the cars for .Montgomery, Ala., thence by steamboat to New Orleans, thence up the Misrissippi and Bed River to Shroveport, La., then stage, ox wagon und afoot, to within 1? miles to where I uow reside. Three years after I came to Texas, I bought the place I am now living on, improved it, and notwithstanding the war and a few Texas drouths, I have suc ceeded in making a good living, nnd have gathered around me enough to sat isfy me that if those young meu in South Carolina (and I know there are a good many of them) could be induced to come out to Texas, nnd use even ordinary in dustry, they would, in a few years, bo comparatively independent and prosper ous Texas offers inducements to every class of immigration, and of every profes sion. Wo have rich lands, both tim bered and Pinivie. Towns and cities springing up all over the State, and Rail roads being constructed now more rapid ly than in auy other Southern State, and will soon be connected with the other States by several Railroads. XVe have a majority of white people in this State, and the most of them are Democrats, and Avo will soon get clear of the last vestige ljb?.Ropx,.UU?njiixn' iu_tbia.?iti>Jt?A,AVj.?.lukuail 50,000 majority in the State, and at the next election, on the 2d December next, wo will rid ourselves of Radicals, carpet baggers, scalawags, ?fcvcs, rascals and defaulters. This is a white man's State, a poor man's State, a young man's State; and here 1 would say, that girls stand the bet-t chance to get married out here of any place I know. As this is a grow ing and prosperous btatc, everything partakes of that disposition, and all arc moving on together in a happy style to that great destination that seems to await the people of this State. There is one thing that man: our happiness, however; I mean those of us from the old Palmet to State, and there are a good many of us out h<*re?and that is, the sorrow we feel when we think of our old State being ruled by negroes, thieves, Radicals and rascals, and some of them; too, to the manor born ; poor South Carolina is ruined, manacled, trodden down'in the dust, bound liana and foot, and strangu lated by the grasp of the oppressor and : desecrator. When I think of my happy boyhood days, and view the State of af fairs that exist there now, I turn away with a heavy, sorrowful heart, and deeply sympathize with all the good people in my native State. How much better off would a great many of the white people be, if they would eonio out to Texas, where there is a plenty of good rich land, good health, fat beef, a plenty of deer, turkey, fish, nnd a plenty of everything th.it makes man happy and comfortable, and above all, a good State government; good laws, and the banner Stale of tho South and South West. Democratic to tho core. Young and old men think of these things and come along, there is plenty for you to do here. You can get into employment anywhere at good wa ges, say from 12 to 25 dollars gold per month, owing to the business you may follow. 1 know you bato to leave our old Stuto, but she cannot help you now, and the time has come when you must look to your own interest, and my word for it, there is no better place or country to make a good living, and purlmps n fortune, if you will uso tho necessary ex ertions than Texas. U. J. A VINGER. Religious liberty appears to oxist in theory rather than in practice in Turkey, and the Syrians complain that in this respect they are worse off than the Egyp tians, who nru allowed privileges denied I to themselves. For instance-, a Tract on ran??j ? Ii hi mim i 11 ripMMMmMnMiiiiii ? Truth was lately published in Beyrout and its circulation was at once forbidden, and yet it is allowed circulation in Egypt. In Damascus there is a Medjlis-ef'-Alu' arif, a Moslem Court of Inquisition, which includes most, of the young TJlema of tho city. They have a president, secretary, inspectors, &c. Their duty la to pje-' vent the circulation of books and doc trines contrary to the received opinions ?in fact, to make an Index Expurgato rious. Mahmoud Eflendi Ham zu, tho finest scholar and gentleman in Damas cus, refused the presidency, which has lately been resigned by Mahmoud el Tibez-el-Furedz. The society, however, is very active, and the correspondent of the Levant Herald at Damascus com plains that some of its inspectors have already examined all the Arabic books possessed by him. In Egyt books circu late freely, bearing to the people the re sults of modern research; while in Da mascus, the most ancient of cities, the inhabitants glory in the dignity of dul ness,-and occasionally grow excited over discoveries 500 years old. It would bo interesting to observe the effect on Lon don of a similar Court of Inquisition to that which exists at Damascus. A hint of its consequence is given in the pastor al of the Roman Catholic Bishops, who tell their flocks that much of tho litera ture of tho times is unfit to be in their homes. We nro supposing, however, that all classes were represented in this Court. In this case the institution would, no doubt, but a veto on tho circu lation of many interesting m.vcls that now engross the attention of the youth of this country to the exclusion of weigh tier matters. The circulating libraries would close their shutters, nud society be duller, but wiser, than it is at pre sent. ters; 775,092 words ; 81,173 verses 1,197 chapters, and 00 books. The word Lord occurs 1855 times. The word reverend occurs but once, which is in the 9th verse of the 111th Psalm; The middle verse is the 8th verse of the 118th Psalm. The 21st verse of the 7th*chapter of Ez ra contains nil tho letters of the alpha bet except the letter j. The finest chap ter to rend is tho 20th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. The 19th chapter of 2d Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah arc alike. Tho longest verse is the 9th verse of the 8th chapter of Es ther. The shortest verse is tho 35th verse of tho 11th chapter of St John. The 8th, 15th, 21st and 31st verse of tho l()7th Psalm are alike, Each verse of tho 136th Psalm ends alike. There are no words or names of moro than six syl lables.?Hauler's Magazine. XUay The conduct of England toward criminals could be copied .by America with profit. Home time since four of our fellow-citizens, unable to get an houest living in New York, sped to Uurope, and laid plans by which they hoped to open the Bank of England as easily as n man may open an oyster and extract the surprised bivalve. All went well until ?they were caught,. No New York lawyers were present to defend them, and no New York jury to decide on their case. Justice was even-handed, and the scutonco was imprisonment for life. They know that in England the words "for life," do not mean, as here, until a new governor is elected, but "un til they arc dead." Well, thero are oth er speculators in bank stock and coin whom we could easily sparo to English justice and Englis'i prisons. - 1? ? ? ? A Struggle with a Dovil-Fish. Air. Chas. II. Braincrd, of Boston, in writing to the Scientific American about specimens of the devil fish, relates this interesting incident: Tho strength which these creatures possess is almost beyond Amprehcnsion, as is evinced by what tool^placo when my pet was cap tured. He had seized hold of a subma rine diver, at work in tho wreck of a sunken steamer off tho coast of Floridn. Tho man was a powerful Irishman, who claimed to weigh three hundred pounds. His sizo and build fully verified his state ment, and, to uso his own language, "the basto landed on top of my shoulders aud pinned my arms tight. I felt my atmor and myself being cracked into ft jelly."
