Wo have just had an opportunity of see- I in?J the golden goblet voted hy our ]>is-[ tiiclto the Hon. 1*. S. lirooks, which was received hy Mr. II. T. Tusten yesterday i1 (Wednesday) evening. It is from the, j house of W. M. Urown A: of Newh York, and was imported l?y them from Eu- I rope. The New York cost is one hundred |< and twenty-five dollars. The inscription, in the most beautiful style of ciisjravinjr, is? 11 "Tlic Citizens of Abbeville District to the lion. ]'. 8. Iirooks, M. C., approving his i conduct in the Sumner nfiair, May 22d, < 185G." Wo have never seen a handsomer 1 article of the kind. I The goblet may be seen at Mr. Tuslcn's '< jewelry store, where we presume it will re- ' main until the Ninety-Six Dinner, 011 tl^ 1 3d of next mon t!i, at which time a public I presentation of it will be made. i Ambrotype Portraits. It has l>eeomc so universally fashionable : to have pictures taken that the question ' these days is not, "Shall I go and have mine taken but 44 Where shall I go to get the best?" To all six-h as may be making ' the latter enquiry, we reply by advising an immediate visit to Mr. 1 >ealuV new and elegant Ambrotype Car, which is now complete in all its appointments, and will re- 1 main in our village a short while for the ' accommodation of those desiring portraits. Mr. Deale is evidently master of liis profession, and having all tho necessary apparatus <r new and of the most approved style, it is impossible, we take it, for any judge of a picture lo be dissatisfied with his work. We have seen specimens from several of llie largest establishments in this country, ' 1 and our honest opinion is that Mr. Deale's pictures will compare with any of them. The ambrotype is so manifestly superior to the daguerreotype that the latter now has no "place in the picture." A good ambrotypo (such as Mr. Deale executes) resembles 1 very much the best style of steel-plate portrait, but is of couise a more accurate 1 sketch of the original. The shnpe and ' proportion of the features are civen iter fectly, which can never be done by the engraver of plates?. # It is undoubtedly a great satisfaction to ' one to havca correct portrait of a departed friend ; and as life is fleeting, it were well 1 to make haste to secure the shadow ere the 1 substance passes from the light. Two f?r Movers. The following jpsagraph is taken from ( the correspondence of Bishop l'iorco with the Southern Christian Advocate, nnd con , lams a iruni wmcn is eminently worthy ot I regard by those who, every fall, begin to , talk of peeking new homes and greater for. tunes. There in no doubt that many an instance of moving has resulted well in all ( reepccts ; but, at the same time, it is equal. ly unquestionable that a far greater nump ber of cases have terminated very diflurent, ly. The habit of moving, when contracted, is a most fatal one, both as regards our accumulation of wealth and contentment of mind ; and who does not know that wuuii n man niiiKCrt ins iirst move UO 13 one ' move nearer this fatal habit I And this - move, unsettling his mind, prepares him for another and another, until at length he finds ? tho habit fastened upon him, and he meets ago poorer than he was at first?his subt stance scattered on the rocul. Wn should > consider well wfcenF wo nro to pitch-our J tents again before wo strike tliein here.? But ilio Bishop rajs : J First, I will state two striking facts. In J a long travel through Missouri, Arkansas, f Louisiana and Texas, nnd in freo conversation with almost all I met, I found but one y who was glad he had moved. Many were verv Borrv. and nenrlv nil wpm rnaflrHw nn<l anxious to move again. Secondly; the general testimony is that moving is expensive, hazardous, and ^Seldom pays.

Jjt/ifnrs :?We were of the forlunatc nninher who attended this celcbra non, aim nave l>een long and anxiously looking for something in (lie papers in regard to it.

The tiny?July 23?was a beautiful one; :md it was at a season of the year when every body?men of leisure or labor?who liad a mind so to do, could go up to the feast?for, indeed, a feast it was, to the body is well as to the soul ; and almost every body in that entire section of the District mid the adjoing District of Edgefield, and from many other parts, did go up, until the assembly was increased into a multitude such as we have seldom seen collected to [ ether on any public occasion. A suitable stand and Foals had been prepared outside )f the church, and at about 11 o'clock (lie services began bv a very appropriate sermon preached b\- the Ilev. Mr. Zimmerman, wlio whs followed by Dr. Wier of Mount Carinell, and Thos. Thomson, Ks<|., of Abbeville, in addresses?or ratber sermons? upon subjects eminently appropriate to the occasion. The Bible?tlie Sunday School ?tbe latter as a nursery of piety?tbe inlluence of tbe teachings of the former upon the moral and intellectual character of the rising generation, were the themes from which these gentlemen instructed and delighted, for about a half an hour each, the very Iar<*P. attonfivn mul wif/.lllw.nt i.* J > - ..U 1UUIi-nce assembled. Dinner was then discussed in a very quiet and orderly way until nil out of that vast multitude lind been served?which being done, the congregation repaired to the stand to listen to another address from II. A. Jones, Esq., who ascended the stand and was proceeding in the train of thought suggested by the forenoon's exorcises, when, to the regret of hirnH'lf and the disappointment of thosp assembled, a shower of rain which,then came up, irrested his discourse. Thus ended the exercises of the din*. A p?... ?' ? -t ... tv . ivi? iiNuiiM?, ,-iuu we ciose. rirsi?-about. Sabbatth Schools. These schools arc now ullrnctiug considerable attention, and to the credit of our people be it said. In our villages, and in several sections of the country, large, numbers of the children of all denominations meet every Sabbath, at the appointed places of worship, and go through the regular exercises of the Sabbath school. vv hat must be the effect upon the futuro character of the rising generation from this sort of training, there is, of course, no precise telling; but that the effect will be wholesome in the highest degree, morally and intellectually, there can be no sort of doubt. fJo on, then, we would say to parents, whether religious or not, and bring up your children under the influences of Sabbath schools. Bring them up "in tlio nurture and ndiuonition of the Lord"?"Train them up in the way they should go, and when they arc old they will not depart from it." To do this, will be better for them?will be better for yourselves. A child thus brought hjf, uciiii inns tu uu it usuiui citizen and a moral man. A word as to ilic placc whoro this celebration was had.

St. Louis, Sept. 5.?Advices from Kansas state that a battlo was fought on the morning of the 30th of August, at Ossawat- c tomie, between three hundred pro-slavery 1 troops under Capt.

Capt. ~ Brown, (of the Herald of Freedom)-nnd ^ his son are both reported killed. Five problavcry men were wounded.
