All over the land the cry of distress is heard, aud day by day the calamity in creases. Winter n approaching with its cold threatening embrace, nnd the shiver ing helpless suffering poor, are dragging their threadbare garments about their forms. No work, no bread, no fuel, no money, the picture is sad and heartrend ing. The north is shaken to its centre. Giant merchants arc tottering, uncertain ty, dismay, disaster and ruin broods in ever}' northern cily. The million looms, und spindles of the cast are stopping,and the factory gates arc shutting out tens of thousands of young females, and helpless children. Strong men arc idle, aud their 'a mi lies, arc stinting close the last mcas meal. The north is gorged to day nco, t?"V.</o;vo\y it starves with 10 South too feels tho presure ?eiy, her crop just made is being ?erifieed, but that is a sequence follow ing the events abroad. Yet where is the farmer's corn crip empty, where the emoko house stripped of bacon. Very rare indeed if any. Tho South has her wood in abuudauee, and a full stock of provisions. All she wants is good gov ernment, and an intelligent voting major ity will give it to her. Now is the time for the sorely pressed white man of the north to make a home where the gener ous soil, and favorable climate will bring them a future of comfort und competency. There is plenty of land, and n lull wel come for every honest minded immigrant. TIjE thutji of a docthlxeaxd its utility. Running back over the page of history for centuries^that have passed, now gild ed with eras of advancement, and again blurred with scenes of vandalism, the mind detects a majority immersed in ignorance, and a small minority enjoying enlightenment. It is reasonable to infer that the only hope for the masses, was drawn from the thinking few, for the benefit of the thoughtless many. #An accretion of knowledge has been steadily piled up ngainst every opposition, thus spreading a benefit for man's general im provement. Tho fact that knowledge is inseparably connected with human hap piness, has not always been admitted by philosophers. There have been, and arc now those who did, and would dissociate the truth of a doctrine, from its utility. Dogmas are some times considered advantageous to society, and especial ly to politicians, which though false in every feature, contended, for and held, by any argument, fallacious and cunning, merely because a pecuniary benefit is the result of their prorogation. Mnchiavcl in his day, labored hard to inculcate error for it3 expediency, and the young Greek held the pain of being gnawed by the fox nt his vitals, less than the shame of rh lection in being unable to conceal a theft. The attainment of scien tific research in every department, wheth er incited directly by a desire to discover truth, or to controvert revelation, has invariably proven an ally to train, in that the limit of investigation, fulls far short of tho comprehension of tho subject under investigation. Hence fallacious theories, fallacious only when they opposo rcveh?tion,are if propagated a source of an endless variety of reasonings, and doubts, which ar'o presented under an hundred phoses of apparent truth, bolstered only by th.ir own specious arguments, and satisfactory only to the ideas of tho in terested theorist. A fallacy if popular, and remunerative is at deadly animosity with ull that opposes it. The fate of Galileo is as common to day in wish, at least, ns it was in his day in net. Tyranny is the handmaid of false-isms,and cruelty is the argument of tyranny. Tho com parative immunity of tho present age from religious persecution, may he owing more to a concession to an evangelical encness of sentiment for expediency,than to a preponderating charity on the part of the stronger, for tho weaker sects. Heresy and errors aro spared the rough handling of torture to extirpate them, more because it is not policy, than be cause of a higher, grade cf religious morals than existed in the days of the martyrs. If this he a mero presumption, why the growing tendency on tho part of every sect, to set up its only correct fingerposts an the only right roads, ignoring the plat form of a common faith having in view a common goal. An established church mpremecy, grafted again upon national protection, would merge the spiritual urns of religion with tho paying proper tics of tho world, and opposing creeds would experience the human nature of persecution, as fierce and malignant as in the days of Huss. If the religious world is then not rooted in tho bonds of peace, upon a subject which to its partisans has reference to a common gain hereafter, liow shall the political world, which offers it best the "bauble reputation" ard is ill nloug beset with "gift bearing Greeks" be reconciled to any policy looking to general good. It is not that civilization is expanding too much light, that science absorbs the attention of the mind to tho exclusion of other thoughts promotive of happiness; that truth is a myth; and morality a failure ; No! Knowledge is essential to the correctness of practice, science when not used to discover for man, any other destiny than his account ability here and hereafter, enhances his appreciation of his present, and future, and Truth must exist coeval with man's dignity, and cannot like a chattel be Bwoppcd for gain. The failure to har monize any scheme for man's general advancement, and harmonious cxistenco, is found in the qualities of his teachers and rulers. Lot the places of power be filled with the corrupt and base, who gather around them their kind, where honors, rewards and bribes aro spread out to hush the infamy of the degraded officials, and where every element oi worth and virtue is pushed aside to give place to the time serving sycophant, arid wdierc those who know the right hut for pay choose the wrong, then must the scene he one of chaos, and the verdict he shame. Guizot says: "La premiere nfTuiro du gouvernment, e'est de chcrchcr cettc verite, de decouvrir qui est juste, rnison able, cc qui convient a la socictc'." The first business of our government is to search for hitter parlizans, and these mnke friends with those who value profit more than principle. Such is the utility of its doctrine, the truth of it is not con sidered. AT THE CAPITOL. The word "Babel" is a fit term to apply to legislative doings, Whittcmoro offered a bill practically to repudiate $5,9G5,000 of the conver sion bonds. Hurley, Bowcn and Boston all agree that "the party" is used up if something is not done to save it. The Governor's appointments have made him enemies of his own household. A split has occurred of Moses and anti-Mo ses men. The decision of tho Supreme Court respecting the hills of the Bank of the State, is a bombshell among the So lons. Senator Andrews of Orangehuvg offers the following to delay the cuds of tho decision : Whereas, the recent decision of the United Supremo Court, in the matter of the hills of tho Bonk of tho State, is; cal culated to work a disastrous financial ruin unless the same can bo delayed in its operation or averted therefore* be it. Resolved by tho Senate, theJKousc of Representatives concurring, Tflgi, in accordance with said decision, the?tsaid hills of tho Bank of the State ho, aud they are hereby, declared a legal tender for any taxes that may bn duo the State, and the State and county treasurers are hereby required to receive tho |amo therefor, hut none other than the genuino bills; and that, in order to asccriain which are genuine, no hill or representa tion of the issue of the Bank of this State shall be received hi the this State, or by anj county treasurer? in payment of| taxes, until the samo shall have passed through the office of the comptroller-gen eral ; there stamped as genuine, and for tho purpose of carrying out this resolu tion, on expert Bhall bo employed, with a salary to be fixed by law, whoso duty it shall be to examine said bills and decide upon tho genuiueness of the same. The Blue Ridge Scrip, and Governor's Bills receivable aro shaky jobs. The name of J. L. Humbert (colored)' of Or nngeburg was sent iu for confirmation as County Treasurer, Hoyt, Puffer, Wal ker and Hnyno commissioners of the Charleston election for Mayor and Al dermen, over-rule the protest of the Citi zens and pronounce the election valid. Of course 1 The review of this past week is as expected worse and worse, and we. hope for the future, except in a general burst up which seems imminent. Brevities. Gen W. J. Hardce's remains were interved at Sclma on the 9th ins. MrsRohtE. Lee died at Lexington Va on the 7th. The distress among discharged me chanics, and tradespeople at the North is increasing. It is reported, thai two large business firms in Charleston have failed. I 4,000 hands are out of work in Louis ville and Nashville on account of the ... - t. crisis. Cotton stiffened a quarter of a cent ^n Tuesday last. Business all over the State stand still. Lining the severe eqwlemicso era and yellow fever at the west, the Southern Life Insurance Company lost comparatively little. The Duffus l?rothcrs are on trial in Charleston for the murder of young West. 1,51.1,000 lb of cotton wsa sent to Liv erpool by Ship Elwell from Charleston last week.
