Excitement at Mobile
i here has been a good deal of excitement in
Mobile, caused by the discovery that Messrs.
Strickland 4; Upson, old and extensive book-sellers
in that city, had been selling abolition books or
‘‘publications of an incendiary and insurrectionary
character. ’ They were summoned before a meet
ing of citizens, and made statements in reference
to the matter which, as a committee afterwards re
pented, were found to be ‘’little better than a tis
sue of falsehoods throughout.” A committee was
thereupon appointed to wait upon them and order
them to leave the city within five days; but on re
pairing to their store the committee found that
they had already • left. The committee reported
that “the character of the evidence and books
brought before them was such that it was thought
not only injudicious but unsafe and dangerous to
make them public.”— Columbus Enquirer.
Exciting News from Kansas.
A despatch •from St. Louis, under date of Au
gust 21st, says that the Treadwell settlement, in
Kansas, was attacked by four hundred free-soilers.
The pro slavervites called on Gov. Shannon for
aid. The Governor called on the troops, who re
fused to light. On the 14th, near Ossowattoine,
over two hundred free-soilers attacked twelve pro
siaveryites—the latter in the fort. Twenty free
soilers were killed and wounded. On the 16th
Leeompton was attacked by eight hundred of
Lane s men. The United States troops having
charged, Robinson, Brown and others, surrender
ed without firing a gun; two persons killed. It
was reported that the pro-slaveryites intend to
burn Lawrence on the 20th.
Dr. Kane and the Arctic Search.
We published yesterday an article from the
London papers relative to another expedition pro
posed by the British Government to the Arctic
regions to make final search for the remains of the
ollici.’.i records of Sir John Franklin and his party,
of which traces have at last been found. Dr.
Kane has, by common consent, even among the
English navigators themselves, been looked to as
the head of this expedition, and has been tendered
the command in the fullest and most flattering
manner by the English Admiralty. He has here
tofore declined it; but the strong in bieements held
out in connexion with lately renewed appeals from
Lady Franklin, the officers of the British Geogra
phical Society, and the Ministry, all combine to
wards inducing him to reconsider bis answer, and
it may be that he is destined to again venture up
on the perilous enterprise of settling forever (lie
geography of the North Polo, while he performs
the last offices for the lost navigators. —National

Re-Appearance of the Great Comet-
According to a Limerick paper the great comet
of 1550, which was expected to make its appear
ance between the vears 1850 and 1 859, lias been
already seen in the South of Ireland. The Timer- .
ick Observer, referring to a statement of a corres
pondent, lays:
He was standing near the salmon-weir, ou the
platform before the mills ofOorbadly, about half
past ten o’clock, when his attention was attract
ed by what appeared to be a tire rising on the top
of Keeper mountain, due East of his position.—
Ho remarked the object t<> a gentleman with him,
but as the fire rose and cleared the top of the
mountain, his friend suggested that it must be a
lantern suspended to a kite. It had then the ap
pearance of a globe of Areas large as a good sized
orange, with a broad tail of light extended about
eighteen inches from the body. The two gentle
men watched it for an hour, and the watchmen on
the weir observed it also. On Thursday night
they saw it again. It rosea few moments later,
presenting the same appearances, and was high
in the heavens at half-past eleven o’clock, when
they went home. At that hour one of the gentle
men pointed it out to his sister. Last night, from
the same place, the same persons again saw it
rise twenty minutes before eleven o’clock, and.
then it occurred to one of them (our informant)
that it might lie a comet. He ceased to watch rt
about midnight but as the watchman observed it
up to half-past one o’clock this morning. It did
not seem so large, ou the previous nights, but 6till
far exceeded the most brilliant form in which the
planet Jupiter has ever been beheld.
Tile Crops.
\\ e were surprised, last week, while making a
short trip by railroad iuto Alabama, to see that
the corn, from which the fodder has not yet been ■
pulled, looked so much greener and more promis
ing than it did a week-or two before. The late
rains have undoubtedly saved much fodder, and
have caused the corn in many fields, that had
commenced piematureiy to shrivel, to fill out bet
ter; but it is still stunted and much injured by the
drought. For another and large portion of the
crop, the rains came too late to be of any benefit
to corn or fodder. The crop must be a short one,
but the late rains have somewhat improved the
prospect. We may say that we saw no cotton
ready for picking, and the plant is everywhere
stunted and backward; but in many places it is
well filled with squares and bolls. There cannot
be a large crop in this section, and even a fair
yield is as yet dependent upon favorable weather.
Peas and potatoes have no doubt been benefited
by the recent rains. It is usual to have sweet po
tatoes for table use by the middle of August;
but we have heard of none this year, and we un
! derstand that some persons, on examination, have
; found that the potatoes have hardly begun to
form on their vines.
In nearly or quite all the Southern States, these
crops are equally backward and unpromising, as
we learn by the general tone of our exchanges. —

At the recent meeting of the Board of
Jefferson College, Pa., the degree of L. L. D, was
conferred on President McCay, of South Carolina
College, who, it seems is an Alumnus of Jefferson.
It is a little remarkable, says the Due West Tele
scope, that the Presidents of the two first colleges
in South Carolina are graduates of the same in
stitution, Dr. Grier, the President of Erskine Col
!e e, being also an alumnus of Jefferson. So, 100,

Important from Kansas. —Two hundred Free-
Soilers attacked the town of Frankliu, in Kansas,
containing twenty pro-slavery men; and seventeen
of the former were killed and wounded. Three
hundred of Lane’s men have entered Topeka.
St. Louis, Aug. 19.—Still later news from Kan

taken prisoners.
St. Louis , Aug. 25. —The meeting in St. Lou

“It is well with the child.”
Departed this life in Jefferson county, Georgia,
on the 10th of August, of Typhoid Fever, Miss Ann
A. M. Arrington, daughter of Henry Arrington,
Esq., in the 26th year of her age. The deceased
was beloved by and endeared to many friends, and
by them and fond parents to whom she was all they
could wish a daughter to be, and a brother and sis
ter who dearly loved her, her early death is mourn
ed.
“Our sighs were numerous, and profuse our tears,
For she, we lost, was lovely, and we loved
Her much. Fresh in our memory, as fresh
As yesterday, is yet the day she died,
The Angel of the Covenant
Was conic, and faithful to his promise, stood
Prepared to walk with her through death’s dark vale,
And now her eyes grew bright and brighter still,
Too bright for ours to look upon suffused
With many tears, and closed without a cloud
They set as sets the morning star which goes
Not do’xn behind the darken’d west, nor hides
Obscured among the tempests of the sky
But melts away into the Light of Heaven.”

This Body will hold its next anniversary with

There are matters in contemplations of vital im
portance to the Baptists of Florida. The subject
of a State Colporteurage was discussed at our last
Convention, and some preliruenary steps taken;
we hope the donors of tliesso,ooU fund for Col
porteur purposes in the Florida Association will be
prepared to say whether they are willing that
fund shall pass into the hands of the Executive
Committee of the State Convention for a State
Colporteurage. Another question of some import
ance will probably come before the Convention;
the propriety of a union with the Bethel Associa
tion of Georgia. Therewith many other matters,
give importance to our approaching Convention;
and it is hoped that our brethren of the Alachua
and west Florida Associations will send full rep
resentation. Brethren do not be unmindful of
these things. Remember that “union is strength,”
and that “eternal vigilance is the price of (Bap
tist) freedom. MODERATOR.

OWING to the late destruction of our College
edifice, by fire, we are deprived of the occu
pancy of the same for this year. But we are happy
to state that the contractors have commenced, with
renewed energy, to rebuild the same, relying on a
generous community to assist them so far as able.
The Board of Trustees announce that the School
will begin as published in our Prospectus and ad
vertisements, on the Ist WEDNESDAY in FEBRU
ARY next. We have procured a good house, con
taining six convenient rooms, in the out-skirts of the
village, in which the school will be conducted. We
also have procured, on the premises, the use of three
small buildings which will accommodate ten or
fifteen young men wishing to board themselves.—
We therefore say to one and all, come on aijd you
will have good accommodations and the very best of
instruction.
In view of the great loss we have sustained, we
would make a most earnest appeal to our old sub
scribers to pay up their old subscriptions without
delay. The subscribers to the endowment fund are
respectfully requested to pay, immediately, the inte
rest on their subscriptions for the first year —due the
Ist ult., and so much of the installment due, or sub
scription, as is convenient for them. The same can
be paid to Rev. Edwin Dyer, Rev. John Crawford,
or sent to me by mail. Any additional sum from
any one to enable us to meet our losses, will be grate
fully received. We hope, in view of our calamity,
no other call will be necessary.

This is a work on an important subject. To be ac
quainted with the Covenants is to understand the
• Law and the Gospel,” it is to compieliend ihe genius
of the Patriarchal, the Jewish, and the Christian Econ
omy.
Misconceptions of the import of the Covenants have
given rise to many of the heresies that have cursed ihe
world. The Evils of Infant Baptism, as Bro H h rts
shown in another work, are enormous and gfoantre.
Why has infant baptism ever been practiced ? Why
is it practiced now; Because the Covenants are not
understood. —Tennessee Baptist.

three months
The. Southern Baptist Publication Society, now an
nounce the second Edition, making the 6th thousand
since April Ist, 1866.
“The discussion is conducted with remarkable abil
ity; and it mainly concerns the question whether
Methodist Episcopacy in this country, as a church
system, is Anti Republican. No Discussion since the
debate of Drs. Wayland and Fuller on slavery, Las
presented such a well-tempered, and manly exhibition
of Christian Polemics. —Southern Baptist.
“This book contains one of the best specimens of
protracted controversy, it has ever been our good for
tune to meet with. Both Methodiet and Baptist suc
ceeded in maintaining a kind and courteous spirit.
So well satisfied are the friends of each of the gentle
men with the course pursued, that they are mutually
engaged in the circulation of the work.—Biblical Re
corder.
“We have before us a calm, dispassionate and gen
tlemanly discussion of the question, to which with
full confidence that our system is free enough for lib
erty, and stringent only so far as healthy and united
action requires, we call the attention of those who
may doubt on the subject.—Charleston Christian Ad
vocate (Methodist.)

“What the Jenny Lind furore was in tbe musical
world, the Spurgeon maniu seems to be in t he Calvin
istic one; for wherever the young declamatist goes,
people crush tohearh.m with a suffocating, elbowing’
almost fighting vehemence, amusing enough, if you be
sufficiently high, to overlook the crowd, but. very
choking and alarming if yon should yourself be iu
the midst of the melee. The latter was my case on
Tuesday evening last, and I write withribssored and
wrists bruised in my efforts to reach Broad.read
Rooms, but only too thankful that I ever got out
with my life.- -Bristol Paper.
