Tbeudor. Parker.
Fancy Fern went recently to hear Theodore
Parker, (the Abolitionist,) who entertains an aa
dience every Sabbath day at the New Music Hail.
Her impressions derived from the occasion are
that stated:
“Do yon call tku church i Well I heard a great
singer here a few nights ago; and bright eyes
sparkled, and waving ringlet, kept time to moving
fan.—and opera glasses and ogling, and fashion
and folly reigned lor this once triumphant. I can’t
get np any devotion here, nnder these latticed bal
conies, with their fashionable freight. li it was a
good old church with a cracked bell and nnhewn
ralten*, a pine pnlpet, with ihe honest sun staring
through the windows, a pitch pipe in the gallery,
and a few hob-nailed rustics scattering round on
the unouehioned seats lahould feel aright; but my
..oul is in fetters here—it won’t soar—its wing-i are
earth-crippled. Things are all too fine. Nobody
can oome in at the door whose hat and ooat ana
bonnet are fashionably eat. The poor man (minus
a Sunday auit,) might lean on bis staff in the porch
s long while boiore he’d dare venture in, to pick
op his crumb of the bread of life. But, thank God,
the unspoken prayer of penitence may wing its
way to tne eternal throne, through our mocking
church spires point only with aristocratic finger*
to the rtch man's heaven.
The hymn was beautifully read, there is poetry
in tbe preacher’s soul. Now he takes his seat by
the reading desk—now he crossi-s the platform and
offers bis hymn book to a female who has just on
tered. What right has he to know there is a wo
man in the house! It isn’t derioal. Let the bon
nets find their own hymns.
Weil, 1 take a listening attitude, and try to be
lieve lam iu chtyeh. I hear great many original,
JSS.3SW.
lstic sentiments which 1 nursed in with my moth
er’s milk, and which (please God) I’ll cling to till
1 die. 1 see the polished blade of sat're glittering
in the air, followeJ by curious, eagre, youthful
eyes, whioh gladly see the searching “Sword of
the Spirit" parried. Meaning glacceb, smothered
smiles, ana improving nods, follow tlie witty,
clerical sally. The orator pauses to mark the ef
fect, and his face says, Tlmt stroke tells. l and ho
it did, lot the ‘Athenians’ are not all dead, who
love to see and hear some new thing.” But he has
another arrow in his quiver. How his features
soften —his voice is low and thrilling, his imagery
beautiful and touching. He speaks of human
love ; touches skillfully a chrrd to which every
heart vibrates, and stern manhood is struggling
with his tears ere his smiles are chased away.
O, there’s intellect there ; the.e’s poetry there;
there’s genius there; but I remember Gothse
mano, I forgot not Calvary! I know the ‘rocks
were rent,’ and the 'heavens darkened,’ and the
stone rolled away, and a cold chill strikes to my
heart when 1 hear Jesus of Nazareth lightly men
tinned.
O, what are intellect, and poetry, and genius,
when with Jewish voica they cry “Away with
him.”
With ‘Mary,’ let mo bathe his feet with my
tears, and wipe them with the hairs of my head.
And so I went away sorrowful that this human
preacher, with great intellectual possessions,
should yet lack the “one thing needful.”
Th» Population of Great Britain. —The West
minister Koview, iii un iuteres'ioir article entitled
“Results of the Census of 1851,” gives some
curious statistics in relation to tbo character and
prominent divisions o( the British people. The
census was taken in a single night, by forty thou
sand persons. The result showed that out of a
total population of 21,121,947 persons, 20.000 were
absent in France, 2763 in Russia, and 1285 in
Turkoy. About a quarter of a million were at pcu
or abroad. The entire population was nearly
double that of 1800. According to the census,
about 115,000 persons die annually lu England of
proventablo disease*, lu addition to this average,
the cholera, during its last visit, carried of 7 J ,COO
victima.
As to private or family life, some of the facts
presented are strange enough. But one solitary
caso was found of a family, conei.-ting of parents
and twelve children living together, among 41,916
tamiließ. Celibacy is very prevalent in England.
In tho southeastern division, of women under the
age of 45, the wives woro less than 17,000, and tho
widows aud Hpinstors more than 120,000. Os
67,6'J© households, 25,250 belonged to single men
and women. These are s artling fucts. It is suid.
however, thut now. since the rise in wages, caused
by the influx of gold irora California and Australia,
marriages have become more frequent. One of
the most important tacts developed by the census
was this—thut the city and country populations
are now equalized—ton and a half millions lor
each. Tha consequence is that England no longer
grows food enough for her population. Sho has
ceased to be an agricultural country, and has bo
come a manufacturing and commercial one.— Balt.
American,
Diet of Noted Men. —Dr. Roudolot, au ancier.l
writer on fishes, was so fond ol fi /s, that ho died
iu 1565, of a surfeit, occasioned by eating thorn
to eicess. In a letter to a frieno, Dr. Purr con
fesses his love of “ het boiled lobsters, with
a profusion of shrimp sauce.” Pope who was
an epiouro, would lie in bed for duys at Lord
Boliogbroke’s unless he was told there were
stewed lampreys for dinner, when he arose in
stantly and came dowu to the table. A gentlo
man treated Dr. Johnson to now honoy and
clouted cream, of which he ato so largely that
his eotertainor became alarmed. All his life
lime o>.r* Johnson had,, a %pr mom , ItiiAqlUftgflk .
for a leg of mutton. itt my
he, “ I at? so much of a boiled IC(f of mnttoß, I
that she used to tut It of it. My mother, who was
atfecied by little things, told me seriously that it
would never be forg;oUon.” Dryden, writing iu
1699 to a lady, declining her invitation to a hand
some suppor Bays : “If beggars might be choosers,
a china of honest bacon would please my appotilo
more than all tho marrow puddings, for I like them
better plain, having a very vulgar stomach.”
Dr. Ueorgo ForJyce contended that as one meal
a day was enough for a lion, it ought to suffice lor
a man. Accordingly, for more than twouly years,
the d otor used to eat only a dinner iu the whole
course ol the day. This solitary tnoal he took
regularly at 4 o’clock, at Dolly’s chop house. A
pound and a half rump Hteak, half a broiled chick
en, a plate offish, a bottle of port, a quarter of a
Sint of brandy, aud a tankard of strong ale, satis
ed the doctors moderate wonts till four o’clock
the next day and regularly engaged an hour and a
half of his time. Diuner over, he wont to his home
Essox-strect, Strand to deliver his six o’olock lec
ture on anatomy and chemistry. Baron Mosores,
who lived nearly to tho ago of ninety, used
to go home one day in every week without any
dinner, eating only a round of dry toast at tea.
Aristotle, like a truo poet, seems to have literally
foasted on fancy. Few could live _ more frugally :
in one of his pooms he says ol himself, "that ho
was a fit person to have lived in the world when
acorns were '.he food of men.” Whon Bolinbroko
invited Bwift to dine with him, hetalkod of tho
dishes ho woeld olfer. “A fig for your bill of
f»re,”s»id Swift, “show me.vour bill of company.”
Milton wos fond of a glare of water and a pipo. A
modern poet, who was asked by u lady of fashion
what he would like for dinnerj answered, “Pep
pormint oordial and black padding.”
Tho II jCRs Morr Fatal to Ijfr.—Wu havo a--
oertained the hours of dtnth in 2,880 in»tances of
all ages, and have arrived at interesting conclu
sions. We may remark that tho population from
which the data ara domed is a mixed population
in every respect, and that deaths of tho 2,880 per
sons had ocourrcd indifferently at any hour during
the 24 years, 128 would have occurred at eacn
hour. Bnt this waa by no means the case. There
are two hours in which the propo-tion was re
markably below this, two minima in feet—namo
!y, irom midnight to 1 o’clock, when tho deaths
were 88 per cent, below the average, and from
noon to 1 o’clock, when they were 88Jf per cent,
below. From Bto 6 o’clock, A. M. inclusive, and
from Bto 7 o’clock, P. M. thereto a gradual in
crease, in the former of 8o)f pe- cent above the
average, in the latter of s)f per cent. The rnaii
mum of death is from 6 to fi A. U., when it to 40
per cent abovo tho average, tho next during the
hour before midnight, when it to 26 per cent in
excess; a third hour of excess is that from 9 to 10
o'clock in the morning, being 17J< per cent above.
From 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. the deans are less nu
merous, being 18){ per cent below the average,
the hour before noon being the most fatal. From
8 o’clock P. M. to 7 P. M. the deaths rise tv
ner cent abovo the average, and thon fell from that
hour toll P. M. averaging per cent below tbe
mean. During the hours from 9 to 11 o’clock in
the evening ihere to a minimum of 8){ per
cent below the average. Thus tho least mor
tality to during the midday hours—namely, from
10 to 8 o’clock; the greatest during early morn
ing houis from 8 to 6 o'clock. About one
third of the total deaths were children under
five years of age, and they show tho inffu
encs of the latter still more strikingly. At all
hours from 10 o’clock in the morning until mid
night, tho deaths are at or below the mean ; the
hours from 10 to 11 A from 4 to 5 P. JI. and
from i to 10 P. M. below minima, but the hour
after midnight being the lowest maximum ; stall
the hours from 2 to 10 A. M. the deaths are above
the mean : attaining their maximum at from 6 to
6 A. M. when it is 46)4 P* r cent, above. —London

Svrokry Extraordinary.— Under Ibis head the
8t Louis InUitxgenetr relates the following inter
eating original case:
Our distinguished fellow citizen, Dr. J. N. Mc-
Dowell, perlormed on Sunday last, the operation
for the extripation of the Parotid Gland. The tu
mor was as large as a turkey’s egg, and extended
from the '.obe of the ear to three inches below, and
from the masseter to the mastoid, involving the
great vessels aud nerve, of the neck. The Doctor,
with e coolness that may be equalled but never
surpassed, detached it from its position, and that,
too, without the lots of six ounces of blood, no
vessel being cut that required a ligature.
Dr. White, of Hudson, New York, first perform
ed the operation in 1809, Dr. McClellan, of Phila
delphia, in 1828; and by Europe and the world it
was doubted, but it to now conceded practicable in
the hands of a skillful surgeon. America boasts
its origin, and glories that there are still living
those who can, with precision and Bkill perform
the daring operation.
The patient was brought from Illinois by Dr.
Fitx, and the operation was performed in the pre
sence of Prof. Breckenridge, of Louisville, Ky.,
Prof. Lmdeey, ot Nashville, Tenn., Prof. Spence,
of Missouri University, aud Doctors Kernes and
ri x, cf 111. The patient is doing well and will
recover.
Ba<x>n.—W e noticed a few weeks since a sale of
8,000 casks of “Ames’" hams to one house, enp
posed at about 11 cents per lb., the sale amount
ing to nearly $200,000. Ye-ter day (here was a
still larger contraot for this description of produce.
The same purchaser bought 5,000 bbls. of “Bil
lings’" oanvas-packed hams, supposed at a frac
tion over the rate above noted. This ia one of the
largest sales of bacon ever made in tbia market.
There is considerable activity in pork for future
delivery, and within a week over 10,000 bbls. of
meea have been contracted for, deliverable in July
and August, nearly all at sl4. The contracts which
were made for May delivery, moatly at sls, are
now being settled, bayera generally preferring to
pay the difference, rather than take the pork ;
5,500 bbls. were settled Wednesday and Thursday
at sl4, the seller pocketing a profit of one dollar
per barrel. One house baa made largely bv these
operations during the current season.— S. Y. Pott.
A Torrent of Eloqcxroe.— During the penden

AUGUSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7,185 L
From the Button Travller.
The Fugitive B'ave Cue at Bovtan—Saturday's
Tbe Coart House thus morning hid the aspect of
a fceleagured fortress. At an early hour a vast
-rowd ws-> gathered upon the oatside, which,
though exhibiting no violence of action, gave ex
pression to their feelings upon the subject in
Various ways.
Inside ot the Court Houm ccnld be seen the
uniform? of the U. 8. troops, a number of aoldiera
from the fort, and marines from the Navy Yard,
having been sent for during the night, in all
amounting to about one hundred men. The sol
diers from the fort were brought up by the steam
er John Taylor, and are under the ootnmand of
Majors.C. Kidgely, and Liouts. O. B. Wiicox and
O. A. Mack. The marines of the Navy Yard are
commanded by Lieut. Co). Dulaney , with Capt.
J.B. Rich,First Lieut. H. W. Dulaney, and Second
Lieut. N. N. Balsoy. The Boston Artillery and
the Columbian Artillery were also under arms,
beiug quartered at the City Hail. In addition to
this, Major General Ed mauds issued an order for
the assemblage of the Cadets, Lieut. Col. Amory ;
tneßoston Light InCautry, Capt. Rogers; and a
corporal’s guard from each of the other companies
of the regiment, to be ready for any emergency
which might arise, and they are nnder artnß at
their re-poctise amories.
Os the occurrence list night, we learn that Mr.
Batcheiuer, when hilled, was standing near the
door which was battered down. Ho attempted to
stem the tide from without when he was stabbed
and ahot. There is a wound on his head, and also
several wounds in his abdomen, one probably by
a knite aud the other by a pistol, which a person
this morning comes forward and testifies was fired
trom tho crowd. There was a great flow of blood
from the wounds in the abdomen.
Several balls were found this morning embed
ded iu tbe eeiiing of the entry way where the at
tack was made. The door battered down was
quite* powerful one, and bears unmistakable ev
idence of tbe determination and energy of those
. wT--r w* £>.aVMyacrt’Vpve i tguvn ■' ’ >*..
ly guarded by constables of the city, and other
officer*specially appointed for that purpose. A
portion of tho police force was also scattered about
the square in order to keep peace. Many preaent
were drawn there by motives of onriosity; others
appeared to be highly excited, aud declared that
come what might the fugitive bhould not bo carried
trom the city. A number of those present appear
ed to be people from the adjacent towns.
There was great anxivtv to get inside the Court
House, though bat very few, comparatively, gain
ed admittance. The stairway loading to the Uni
ted States couit room, (which is in tho second
story, (was guarded by a detachment of United
States murines, with mußkcts, aud the large num
ber who were denied admittance to the court
room on account of its crowded condition, made
tho task ot preserving peace without infringing
upon the rights of tho citizens, a delicate and
difficult one. Ropeatodly wore the marines called
upon to clear tho pansaro way, and some hot words
pa-sod, but no blows were given, though some
rather rebelled at coming in close contact with the
muskets of the militaiy.
Mayor Smith daring the forenoon addressed the
largo crowd assembled in the square, from tbe
Court House steps, urging them to disporso,
and stating that tho poaee of the city would be
maintained at all hazards. He also snnounced
that ail disorderly persona would be forthwith ar
rested.
Just as the Mayer dosed his remarks, a colored
man made some demonstration of disrespeot, and
he was immediately arrested and committed to the
watch-house. A large number of the more or
derly portion of the crowd soon retired.
During the forenoon, five persons charged with
a disturbance of the peace, wero arrosted. Their
names are Charles If. Nichols, Gonrg) Smith, Ed ■
word E. James Noland, John Jewell, and
Win. Jackson. They wero placed in the Centre
watchhouso.
Tun Codkt Room.—The prisonor was brought in
at S o’clock, handcuffed, in the oharge of a few
stout looking individuals. He appeared quite
downcast and anxious. Immediately behind the
prisoner several seats were filled with special offi
cers.
Edward 0. Paiker and Seth J. Thomas appeared
for the claimant, and Charles M. Ellis and Hichard
H. Dana, Jr. for defence.
The procoedii g-i were commenced at 10 o’clock,
before Mi. Commissioner E. G. Loring.
Mr. Parker was about to open, when Mr. Ellis
asked the Court for delay for the purpose of pre
paring a defence, the delay already had, having
been for the purpose of electing whether he would
m ike a defence or not. Ho appeared as amicus
oarx tor the prisoner, that the prisoner should not
be tried on a day succeeding nis arrest, »or in a
baste incompatible with dignity. 6inco then no
person has boon admitted to tho prisoner till yes
terday afternoon, except the counsel; and my col
league felt that doiicacy required they should
permit the prisoner to make up his mind. Yes
terday afternoon, then, the doience could have
propor access to the prisoner for the first time, and
a trial to-day would bo equivalent to a trial, there
fore, on the day succeeding the arrest. On such a
day as this, too, nobody can be expeoted to act as
in ordinary circumstances, with duo regard to jus
tice and calmness/ Ho had not believed that sueb
a thing us this arrest and trial could again take
place, for there were duo safe guards in State laws
to secure a fair trial. Four years ago public senti
ment was for compliance with the for peace
sake; but it is not bo now, for tho man stands here
to-day as if a freeman of Massachusetts, entitled to
the protection of our laws, and I believe your hon
or will so consider it.
A r. Parker, for the olairaant, objected to the de
forringof tho ouso over to Monday. Ho had not
pressed the case for the day boforc yesterday,
when ho know tho objection to then trying it to be
merely one reluting to the disturbed mind of the
the case, but the ground to day Tsanierem.—
Thero is no need of delay, for this is merely a pre
liminary oxamiiistknato cfboido wliothor the de
fendant shall bo transferred to a court in tho dis
trict formorly inhabited by him, for a more lull
examination, and this is all that is contemplated
by the Ktatuto and supported by the decisions of
sovcral judges. This is uot a permanent trial, bat
ono to decide whether t''e party shall bo transfer
red to the trial of laws olsowhore, suoh laws being
presumed to exist. The stute of feeling in tho
community, too, is but another reason why the
whole subject should bo disposed of as soon ns pos
sible.
Mr. Commissioner boring expressed his convic
tionthat tho delay before bad uot beeD abused by
the prisoner; the man had (Mr. L. saia in effco')
moved us quickly as it was possiblo undei the cir
cumstancos. lie had made up his mind to have a
defc '.oo, ho had selected counsel, and all were
here; and now the oounael, so recently appointed,
had on their ovrn behalf, asked for time u 9 lawyers
to prepare a defence, a request by no means un
reasonable. Ae for the excitement without, the
Court can take no cognizance of that. A continu
ance is therefore granted till Monday morning at
11 o'oloek,
The equate continues to be the centre of a large
crowd of peop.c, but there is no sign of any more
violeneo. Inside of the ourt House, beside the
United States troops, a large posse of special offi
cers aro in altendar-00, lining all tho alloy ways.
The fugitive is in the upper *tcry, guarded on ail
sides, and will rornain so until Monday next.
The Rioters A luiF.bTEn coicxcted on a Chaus e
Os Mubder.—Niue persons who were arrested last
night, were brought up in the Police Court this
morning to answer to a charge made by Luther A.
Ham, Deputy Chief of Polico, that cn the night of
tho 2flth of May they assaulted James Batchelder,
with tire arms, wounding nun so that he died, and
that they did therefore commit the crime of mur
der.
The names efthe accused are A. J. Brown, John
J. Koborts, (colored,) Walter Plicsnix, (colored,)
Jolm Westerly, (colored,) Walter Bishop, (oolor
cd.) Thomas Jackson, (colored,) Henry Howe,
Martin Slowed, and John Thompson. Some of
them are old, one being gray headed.
Mr. Ham, for tho prosoeutiou, said that the gov
ernment would not probably be ready beforo the
middle of next week t® proceed to the examination
of the case. There was quite a number of witness
es, some twenty ouo iu number.
Mr. C. 0. Davis, for the defence inquired if some
of tho prisoners wore not arrested before tho dead
ly assiilt upon Mr. Batchelder took place I
The Court said that even if it was so it might
appear upon examination that they were accesso
ries before the fact.
Mr. Ham said that he expected to prove that
there was a concert of action amoog the prisoners
from the time that the light was put out until the
death of Mr. Batchelder.
Mr. Ham also said, iu reply to a statement by
counsel for dcfpnco.thut the complaint was made
for an ucoailab'.e offence at a vory late hour on
Saturday; that he had used hi* utmost diligence
in getting the matter before the oourt, having to
obtain the advice of legal gentleman how to pro
ceed. The Court endorsed this statement.
He also said that ho would endeavor to be ready
by Tuom.av roxtatll A. M., bat if not ready then,
hoßboulJ as* for a further postponement. This
was rather reluctantly acceded to by tbo counsel
for tbo defendants, and the prisoners were com
mitted without bail until that time.
Mr. Batchelder, who was killed, resided on
Front at*.st, Charlestown. His wife knew no hin
of Ms death until this morning, when the an
uocn® meut was mado to her by a lady who saw
an account of the occurrence iu the morning pa
['era. She chanced to ho |n the JTcnt yard, aDd
immediately fainted and was taken into the house.
He leaves no children.
Tactiob oi the Kiotebs—Apfeal to the Y*-v
--maxt oi New England.— The following handbill
has been extensively circulated in contradiction of
a report that 001. Buttle had sold Burns:
“The man is not to bo bought! He is still in the
Slave pen in the Court House. Tho kidnapper
agreed, both publicly and in writing, to sell him
for (1,200. That sum was raised by eminent Bos
ton citizens, and offered to him; but he then claim
ed more, and the bargain was broken off. The
kidnapper breaks his agreement, although the
United Slates Commisaaioner advised him to keep
it. Be on jour guard against all lies. Watch the
Blave pen. Lot every man attend the trial.”
The following is the eopy of a circular which has
been widely circulated in the country towns:
Boston, Saturday May 27,1854.
To the Yeomanry of Xtw England :
Cocntbymen' asd Bkoihkbs :— The Vigilance
Committee oi Boston inform you that the mock
trial of tbe poor lugitive slave has been further

You are requested, therefore, to oome down and

Love toe Children. —t here is not in this world
a more loveable object than ayoung child—its fair
brow unshadowed by cure, its clear eye nndimned
by tears, its pure heart untainted by passion. Every
word, look, and action bespeak its gailelesanese.
Its smiles, its affectionate endearments its unstinted
confidence, its artless, winning ways, knit it to
yonr heart with tics of strong affection. Heaven
help the childless! Without childhood’s ringing
laugh and bird like music how desolate the honse
“®}*“ Byron had a heart overrunning with love for
chi dren, if there is any truth in words. What a
delightrul picture he sere holds out to us:—
“look how he laughs, and stretches out hia at ma,
Ana opens wide h a blue eyes upon thine,
To hail his father ; while hia little form
Jluttera as Wing’d with joy. Talk not of pain!
The childless cherubs will envy
The pleasure of a parent!”
That man is to be pitied who has no lor# for
children—who frowns upon their sportiveness and
rebukes their atreeeea. We would not carry a neb
a cold, torpid heart under our vest for the wealth
of the Indies.

It was then moved to read the names of places

for book agents, editors, etc., be made the order of
the day.
Mr. Keener offered a substitute, which was laid
on the table, and the resolution of Dr. Wiuans
wss adopted.
On motion conference then proceeded to the
consideration of report No. 8, of the Committee
on Books. That part of the roport which had not
been previously acted upon was road.
The first item referring to loans to b* granted to
certain papers was taken up.
Mr. Langborue was opposed tomakiag any suoh
loans. Ho did not believe the conference had any
right to lot thus.
Dr. Drake agreod in the main with Mr. Lang
horne.
Dr. W. A. Smith explained, and showed that
snch a measure as was ooutemplated by the report
would benefit the ohuroh as well sb the papers.—
Snch a course had been pursued in other inßtanoes
heretofore with great profit to the church, lu
reteronoc to the saeredness of the Book fund, be
thought he understood that as well as others
There was no difficulty from that quarter. He
was saure of this—though he might be unable to
satisfy some o'.bera of the fact.
Mr. Hosier bad constitutional difficulties in this
ease. The conference conld appropriate the pro
duce of the book concern only in one way: while
"A* gßrttagraft feadanciodnoe to divide, and
finch loans eontaiiov .be ufIRW Hour-’
until tho constitution was changed. ; J
Dr. Green had only to say that as wo' had no
proceeds, the best wo could do with our capital
was, to put it to work, and he bei'u ved thatit
would be as profitable to the church In this, ss
any other way—loans of this kind havebeen made
by the church, and subsequently retorted—whilo
the use of it was made profitable to t)e church.
Ho was in favor of the roport.
Dr. Wioans did not think there was »ny consti
tutional difficulty in tho way of the proposition.
If we believed suoh loans were right and necessa
ry—we conld make them. The book concern bad
two objects—first, an inatrument of distributing
religious knowledge, and secondly, to afford when
possible, something to aid superannuated preaoh
ere, etc. Wherever the first design was properly
carried out, there would always be proceeds, and
these should of course beapplied as contemplated
in the discipline. But were it otherwise, where
there arc no proceeds to be so considered, ite af
fairs should be so managed as to cream profits to
be applied as contemplated.
Mr. Whipple was from one of the younger con
ferences, ami they had some interest in the matter.
Their papers bnd contributed much torn increase
in the annual collections for the superannua’ed
fireaohers, missionary society, elo. Give them a
ittle assistance and they would do mere for the
church and themselves.
Mr. Pieroe, of Miss., would vote for the report
provided it were distinctly understock that these
papers thns aided shou d bo tenderod to this con
ference at ite next cession.
As the time for adjournment wss near, Mr.
Burton obtained the floor and made some observe
lions.
Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Bed
ford and McDaniel after to day.
After which, on motion, conference adjourned.
ALTEBNOWN SESSION.
Conference met st 8)< o’oloek, Bishop Kavan
augh in the chair ; divine service by Dr.L. Pieroo.
The journals of the morning sesasioo were read
and approved.
Bishop Capers then took the chair.
Dr. Winans moved that oonforenoe proceed to
the ordor of the day, which waa the election of Book
Agents, editors, etc.
Dr. W. A. Smith offered ass substitute, that we
resume the consideration of the report no. 8, of
the committee on Books. This prevailed, and the
report was taken up. The item immediately before
the conference, was that which proposed loans foi
tho aid of certain church papers.
Mr. Parka stated his objections to the policy of
loaning amounts to doetitute papers. He was in
favor of giving wbat might be deemed neceesery.
The main object of the Book Concern, was to fur
nish tho country with oheap religious literature;
dividends wore secondary altogether.
Dr. W. A. Smith agreed fully in this view of
the main object of the book fund. What might
be deemed advisable, years hence, was matter for
future action; at present it was our duty to use
the fund in its appropriate wav. Ha went for
giving the papers specified the sid they saked for.
Bishop Bonlo, without attempting to Assign rea
sons for his opinion, stated that the question was
one of no ordinary iuterest, whether involving a
principle or preoedent. He bad not understood
that the d'oision of the courts iu regard to the
property, had at all turned on a consideration oi
the claims of snperacaated preachers, etc. He
conceived that cur application of the funds was
to be governed by the charter laid 4nwn in tho
book of Discipline. With regard te tho appro
printion of SBI,OOO of the boon fund in a loan to
certain papers as a tuancisl operation, so far aa it
ia a business transaction, we must look to the
probable profits. He was glad to hear that these
papers were financially Bound and prosperous ; he
oould not sec why they asked for loans. Ha feared
that there would not be much profit.
St waa than moved that the eevaißl papers be
ed one by one, and action be taken in reftrenoe
to them separately. This motiou prevailed, and
the Now Orleans Advocate was cal lea. The report
proposed to loan this paper SB,OOO.
Mr. McDaniel moved to strike oat six,and insert
$2,000.
Mr. Keener explained the condition of that
paper, ita wants, etc., elating that np to the pre
sent, it had been published by contract. He wished
the church to provide an offioe and fixtures, and
make the paper ita own, increase the subscription
price from $1.50, to $2.00 per annum, if deemed
expedient. Their subscription list was neer 1,000,
and he thought the prospect fair for an extensive
circulation.
Mr. Daniel withdrew hi* motion, end Dr. Drake
offered as a substitute, that the Book oommiltee
procure the paper, and establish it ander *he con
trol of the General Conference, provided that not
more than $6,000 be cx, ended upon the operation ;
adopted.

which the oommittee proposed loaning $5,000.
Mr. Harris sot forth the eondition and proepacts
of this paper.
Mr. Cobb also spoke in reforrenoe to it, set forth
an exhibit of its assets and liabilities, the amount
of subscription, etc.

Christian Advocate be adopted as a General Con
ference paper.

son called for the pending question—the call being
sustained, the question was put and tho resolution
adopted.

this paper; the report waa adopted and the loan
granted.
The Christian Observer, » paper proposed to be
published at San Francisco, Cab, waa called. The
oommittee recommended t loan of $5,000 for this
purpose.
Dr. Boring moved to emend the report by strik
ing out 5 and inserting SIO,OOO. This motion be
sustained by some remarks, setting forth the
preseut condition and prospectß of the church in
that country.
Bishop Soule concurred in the remarks of Dr.
Borirg, and stated that it most never be given np,
never! A paper and Book Depository were
needed there, and ought to be granted.
Dr. Green thought we should be careful in mat
ters of this kind, we were about to appropriate
more money than we had, and might get ourselves
in serious difficulties. He thought the whole work
of California interests had batter be thrown on
the Missionary Society.
Dr. Borings’ amendment, on motion of Mr.
Oowtes, wea laid on the table.

The Saesath,— The Now York Times vary hap
pily discourses of the day of rest in this wise:
“Tbo rest of the Sabbath is necessary, after the
engagement of the week, aa ia tho night’s restaffer
the work of the day. To the one wo go instinc
tively, forced by fatigue. It is wall if we observe
the other impelled by moral considerations, before
suffering the penalty attached to its violation, of
which instinct gives us no warning. After six
days of labor, our strained muscles need a season
to renew thoir elasticity—our fretted spirits to re
sume thoir equanimity. A simple change of
necessary labor does a groat deal; the entire cessa
tion of all that is unnecessary does still more.
The fitting devotional exercises of tbe day are
oalming und soothing, and productive of that
healthy state of mind with which it 5» desirable to
enlor upon the duties of the succeeding days.
Tlie influence of the Sabbath upon the week’s
to mult nous cares is like oil poured on the stormy
sea. Stretched out over the hurrying crowd of
daily engagements, like the rod of tho prophet
over the Red Sea, it piles tho waves up on either
aide, and we pass through them dry shod.

Tbe torch doth show the way.”
Desteuctive Hailstorm.— We learn that e few
plantations on Stephens’ Creek in this District,
were visited on Saturday last by a very severe hail
storm. Mr. Thos. B. Re tee waa the principal suf
ferer. His entire cotton crop (a large ana flour
ishing one) wre nearly destroyed. We have seen
s few remnants of stalks from his fields. They were
not ony stripped of leaves, but the very bsrk was
beaten off— Edgefield Advertiser.
The vessel reported by brig Delaware to be a

Light Boat, on Martin’s industry, proves to be tbe
British brig En Avaunt, of Windsor, Nova Sootis.
Captain J. F. Brooks went down to her on Satur
day, in th steamer MeUmora, but was unable to
tow tbe wreck for the want of a larger bswssr. He
visited her again yesterday, and succeeded to tow
her about ten miloa, when he left her to procure
additiona! aid. The stern of the brig : s out of the
water, and her finish shows her to be a wall built
brig of about 200 tons, handsomely painted and
rigged. The sails and running rigging had been
removed, bat th,e masts, yards ana standing rig

Two or three days sinco we published the intelli
gence received via the City of Mexioo and New
Orleans, announcing that a great viotory had been
obtained by Surra Anna over the revolutionists,
under Alvarez, at Mount Peregrino. Later ac
counts obtained from the correspondent of the
New York herald, at Acapulco, give a very dif
ferent version of the affair, as it is probably more
true, we subjoin it:
Acapulco Corretpondenc* qf the Herald.
Acapulco, Mexico, May 6, 1854.
The revolution us far as the State of Guerrero is
concerned, for the present is over. The victory
has been complete. Triumphantly may the sons
of the “balmy Boath” rejoice at the total extermi
nation of the foe who has dared to invade their
mountain haunts, and has beoti foolhardy as his
self-conceited undervalue of a few hundred Pinto
Indians has shown—his Excellency being pleased
thus to style men who are truo in bravory as in
love of their chief, and whoso lesson I doubt not,
will be remembered when its origiu will have
sunk into an ignominious grave.
When we oonsider the innumerable disadvanta
ges which the A1 vans party have labored under,
more particularly with a portion of the State in
arms against them ; and many parties in this town
were ready, had Santa Anna marched his over
whelming foroe into it, to hurra for him, wo must
express our admiration at the horoio vulor dis
playod by those who occupied the esßtlo. lu fact
it appeared to us as though tho “God of wars,”
predicted Alvaros should be crowned not with
“imperial purple”—no that must pass like a
visionary delusion, only fitting the fanciful imagi
nations of despots—but, with an honest, conscien
tious pride, that he defended the heath olad moun
tains, whoso every wild flower bloomed as though,
in their soft expressive language they whispered
—where liberty dwolls there can wa. nourish, un
molested by the polluted touch of a tyraut—and

Camp on Acapulco, April 80—4 P. M.
7b <A« American Consul in Acapulco:
Sir—By ordor of His Excellency and Supremo
Highness the General President, I hiivodoinaudel
the surrenderor the Castle of San Diego of Aca-
Euloo oftho.-o who occupy it, in the space of 12
ours I The re /olution being reduced to that fort,
and my having at its front five thousand braves,
would make it criminal to resist I Notwilhstund
ing, in oase this should happen, loommunicate to
you, that the supreme government being resolved
to take that place by all meaus, Hie Highness, the
General President has ordered me to say to you
that you may immediately proceed to secure tho
intoroeta ot your citizens, as the supreme govern
ment repeats this day, through me, tho declara
tions whioh it has made of notacknowledgingany
right to olaims of any kind in such cases. With
this motive I havo the honor, Mr. Censul, to offer
you tha assurance of my consideration. God aud
liberty.
Signed, Blanoo.
The promised or threatened attack, and “posi
tive resolve to take the castle by all means,’’ was
not oven attempted, other than the engagements
as already published, and tho firing of a sow shells
whioh either exploded in the air, or fell short of
their aim. And the Captain General with his flvo
thousand bravcß, lay as quiet as lambs on the
field of tlieir glory, basking under a tropical sun,
whose beat oould not be surpassed, when they
were very properly, occasionally aroused to a sense
of thoir shameful inactivity, position and profes
sion, by a thirty-two pound shot from tho well
direotod battery of the oastle, wuoso report was
the funeral knell of many, both man and
beast.
This, added to the elimato was fast thinning tho
“rank and file” of the braves ; and it might not
be impropor here to inform the invading force,
that daring the whole oontinued firing from tho
castle, only four pieoos were need, and they 82
pounders.
His Highness, the President, being driven from
one act of desperation to that of another, not an
ticipating each formidable resistance, after several
ineffectual attempts on the 25th of April, sent an
other communication to Gen Ignaoia Comonfort,
wbeiein he made the last abortive attempt to bribo
that vaiorons and uncomprising patriot with (100,-
000 in cash, a General’s comniission, and a troe
and unconditional pardon to all thoee persons who
had taken pßrt in this cruel revolution. What
was the reply f “Tell the Dictator the wealth of
the Indies oould not bribe, or have the name of
Comonfort stigmatized with tho brand of traitor I
Our gnus are oharged: our so diers eaeor to buttle
for their homes and liberties.” Thus frustrated

Anna, at not being able to either poetess himself
Os the Caetle of Ban Diego, by purchase or storm,,
he, with that quiet composure oMhonght and
countenance which disappointment is wont to as

eternal leave of his beloved country ana most loyal
subjects—“particularly those of tho State of Guo
rero”—“and embark on board the fillibustermg
bark Caroline.” Alas! delnded manl Alvarez
cannot permit you to depart, without showing
you the prowess of his men of the South. On
making known his plans to Gen. Blauco, a counoil
of war was immediately held by the fourteen
Generals and twenty Colonels, at which ii was
unanimously resolved, that inasmuch as they had
escorted their illustrious chieftain from the capital,
it devolved upon them to return him to the bosom
of his oabinet. Accordingly, on tho morning of
the 28th April, the braves commenced thoir retro
gado march, which might not have beon molested

In the afternoon, towerds sunset, tho hills sur

suit of the enemy, and completely suoceeded in
literally outting them to pieces, capturing their an
imals by hundreds, (tho greater part whioh had
been stolen from the ranoes of Alvarci, Comonfort,
an Moreno) and it ia not quite cortain that Santa
Anna will reach Mexico, as ho is only as tar as
Chilpancingo, with 1,000 braves. For the particu
lars of their ongugemonts your readers are referred
to the official Bulletin. I will merely add that
General Alvares, in a private letter, states that the
river Popagallo was actually oolored with the blood
of the killed and wounded, and that some unfor
tunate General, who was slightly wonnded, and
was being oerried in Santa Anna’s litter, was com
pletely ridddled witli balls, and bis men for semo
time thought it was the Captain General who had
been shot
When matters settle down a little, the following
pronvneiomenlo will, I have reason to believe, bo
issued:
For President—Juan Bauaiiate Cevalloe.
For Minister of War - Juan Suarez Navarro.
For Minister of Foreign notations— Ignacia Com
onfort.
For Minister of tho Treasury—Melchor Ocampo.
For Minister of Justioe—Juan Antonio de la Fu
onto.
A better selection, in my opinion, oould not be
made. The; are all gentlemen of talent and liber
al sentiments: and this republic, with such a Presi
dent and Cabinet, whose only aim wonld be the
interests of their oountry, without aspiring afier
empty titles and “imperial mantles,” would bo
onee more herself again: and God speed the day
when the rights and liberties of free commerce
w'll be again restored to a troddeu-down people.

l Columbia ani> Hambur« llaUsoad.—We iearn
. that Mr. J. G. Gibbes, thu Sngincer in charge, has
reached Hamburg by the lower route, and finds
it quite practicable and a good lino. The country
’ it passes through beyond Gen. Quattlebsum’s is
a richono and thickly sottiod. Much unnieiy pro
’ vails on the route for tho road, and wa have no
doubt a good subsoript’on will bo taken up. The
corps has oommenoed the survey from Hamburg
" by what ia called the IJidge route, and it is oipeo
. ted thoy will get back to’Columbia by the 2'Jth
of June, when tho comparative merits of each will
bo known. There is Borne difficulty in getting
• from Hamburg to tho ridge, and Hie first ten
1 miles will probably occupy a week; tho rest of the
■ line will bo easily run.
1 As at present advised, tho two routes will d ffor
- only about five miles, and tho cost ot the lower
I route, which is the shortost, will bo tho greater
■ por milo, whilo tho difference iu distance of tho
i ridge lino will about equal the expenditure re
i quired for the road. Tho competition for tho routo
will bo ono of interest, and a fair subject for a
l stir. Tho road must bo bnilt, and wo expect onr
■ Georgia friends will aid us, us they huvo a deep
1 interest in it.— South. Carolinian.
Origin of the Tux “Oli> Dominion.*— Few
things are so wsll calculated to awakuu in tho mind
ot the proud Virginian, when wandering in for
eign lands, touching remiuisaoncos cf home and
kindred, aH tho simple inontion of tho “Old Do
minion.” And yet there are comparatively few
who areawaro ot the origin ofslbe term whioli has
so long and generally been applied to Virginia. Tt
originated thus : During the Prnacctomto ol Crom
well, the Colony of Virginia refused to acknowlotge
hia authority, and deolured Inelf independent.
Shortly altor, when Cromwell threatened to send a
fl eel and army to reduce Virginia to subjection, the
alarmed Virginians sent a messenger to Charles U.
who was then an exile in Flanders, inviting him
to return iu the ship with the messenger and be
king of Virginia. Charles accepted the invitation,
and was on the eve of embarkation, when ho was
called to the throne, of England. As soon as bo was
fairly seated ou his throne in gra hud a tor the
loyalty of Virginia, ho caused her coat of arms to
be q artered with those of England, Ireland and
Scotland, as an independent member ot che empire
—a distinct portion *i tho 'oil dominion ' bunco
arose the origia of the term. Copper coins of Vir
ginia were issued even as hue as the reign of George
111., whioh bore on one si le the coat of arrnaof
England, Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
Spanish Brown.—A very superior articlo of
Spanish Brown ia found in this immediate vicini- *
ty. Not more than two miles from the Court
House is a mountain of it, sufflcieieiit to supply the
world for centuries t> corno. It has boon tho
roughly tested by one every way qualified. Mr.
Weir, a very superior painter, bus muted it ond
painted with it, both on wood and canvas, and pro
nounces it infinitely superior to the imported
article. It has more lustre about it, and on wooa
gives a richer mahogany appetramio than
foreign article, ami is easily mixed with oils,
cannot see why it will not immediately eom
general use. It is of easy

Texas: Moy ) 8 i 1854.—The Indians on
San Ant ‘ , „’ p oommanot-d war in good earnest.
It" hr-’ united sll the Indians under his
s W to make 11 general w “ r u P on us. The Indisus
Ivh' Diadea simultsneous attack upon our people
■J along the KioGrande, and have approached
I c ity io within tci. or fifteen miles. They att-
I tacked a Government train within six miles of
Fort Ewell, killed six men aud look off all ths
I mules in the train, aboot eighty four in nornber.
I X'-ty havoaiao whipped our troops in an engage-
I mont oinoo.
We learn to-day they are Infesting the Ei Paso
road, und will, no donbt, do great damage. F rom
all we esn hear, wo believe they will destroy, for a
time, the trado of El Psso with this p'aco, whioh
now amonnts to a large sum. It is particularly
unfortunate to happen now, as tho trsde all along
tbe Bio Grande has just been revived. Without
the government aots with energy, our trado and
settlements will be broken up west ot us, and a
general war made upon tba whole northern and
western boundary of this Elate.
Fax IN Maoon.—On Friday morning about day
light, an attempt was mado to fire ab; ilding on
Mulberry Street, occupied by Mr. F. P. Gary. The
fire bad made some progress, bat was fortunately
discovered in time to extinguish it.—There can be
no doubt that inoeodiariee are in our oommnulty,
and our citizens should be on tbe alert. Augusta
has reoantly boon infested by rognes, aud fortun
ately three of them have been shot, we hope soon
toreoord a similar fete for eouie oi thoee in our
