Mr. Editor; —On Tuesday night (Oct. 20,) our
quiet village wa* quite the scene of what waa in
tended to be a ‘‘grand atovtemtnC on the part of
Bogus Pimseraey. It wm said to be designed as a
grand glorification, by Torchlight , of the recent ter
rific victory m the county and State, as well a* to
afford the two “Great Lights ’— Tiomba and Hte
pheus—au opportunity to talk to “the boys, and
exhibit their xeai in the cause ofDimoeraey no late

spec table exhibition as to numbers, and we have
i,o doubt that they —the nnterrified —thought that
“all the world and the rest of mankind were there,
boon after darkness set in—a fit time, truly—a pro
cession was formed (which consist.ed of a large num
ber of beardless youths and boys, who had better
been at home.) with a sprinkling of men. The
torches were lit, the bannert raised, and the yells
commenced. A “band of musio” waa expressly
imported from Athens, “for this oooasion only,”
(it is to be hoped,) consisting of two drums and a
squeaking fife. The rautio—if It could be oafled
masie, (t) —was “ground omt’ by “darkies,” dress
ed to kill, in regimentals which displayed consider
able red /Linnet trimming. I should say that the
proceaeion with “ail its rights, members and apper
tenances, ‘ waa, at the least oaloulatlon, not far from

M r F.sitor t —l am sorry to havs to trouble you
again for a small space in yonr paper, but it is neces
sary to give “ Fair Play” an opportunity to lot off
more gas, lest tbs pent-up excess of U should be
incompatible with his safety. I do not propose,
,however, to descend Into a gams of Billingsgate
with him, to which hit artioles invite me. At that
seems to be his native dialect, he would bav* the
advantage of me. In tom* contests, victory and
defeat are alike ilisgrac-'ul. I will not protract
this, lest Editors, Printers and readers should all b#
disgusted.
Ile asks: “ When did I ever fall to vote with ths
party opposing the Democratic 1“ If he really
wishes to know rny part record, 1 answer, at lca't
half of the time. Having always held myself aloof
from parties, and occupying (as I intend still to do)
an independent position, 1 never have anything to
do with nominating candidates for any office, and
being thus unfettered by the ahacklea of party, I
am free to vole for those who, I think, will moat
advance the public Interest, or not vote at all, when
1 see but little difference between candidate*. In
pursuance of thla course, I have not oaat morathan
half of the votes |to which I hare been entitled,
and half of them have been for Democrats.
He makes a deaperato effort to gueaa at ray Iden
tity, and advises me to “abstain from ntwtpaper
publications” lest I offend “my patrons.” Now,
here Is a woeful mistake. Patronage oonveyt ths
idea of dependence od another for support. I ac
knowledge no ouob relationship to any man living.
I have no “ patrons.” 1 live by honest labor, not
by gambling, as he would leav* us to suppose h*
dues, judging from his publi* advertisement for bet*
By the way.Jwhat right had you, Mr. Fair Play, to
portray Mr Alien as a bird of the same plumage
with yourself 7 As to political prejudices, I trust I
have none, not being a member of any party. You
are greatly mistaken about my “ deep aeatef ha
tred for certain men.” No man in the county baa
injured me , and if I had an enemy, I should con
sider It wrong to hate him ; and certainly very un
profitable, as it would interfere with my own peace.
“ Physician, heal thyself.” When I wish advioe, I
will seek someone more competent to give it than
you seem to be. I shall not waste paper trying to
guess who you are, as I presume the public oare lit
tle who either of us may be.
There is one sentence (the last one) in my aritols
in which I did injustice to the Democratic party. I
wrote it hurriedly, not considering its impropriety j
and I now gladly avail myself of the opportunity to
retract it. I consider it no disgrace to acknowledge
an error. There are in the party, many high
minded, honorable men, who, I am sure, disapprove
of “Fair Play's” oonduct, but had no opportunity,
as a party, to disclaim him. I think it very likely
that before another contest, they will either hav*
him gagged, or (if it be impossible to contiol him,)
notify the public not to hold them resposible for
him.
As to “distributing papers at church doors on
Sabbath before tire election,” I had nothing to do
with it. If it was done, It was done by others. I
didn't attach so much importance to it I simply
wrote a single line to the Editor, [requesting him to
insert it, In his earliest issue.
“Fair Play’’is “no scoffer of religion,” forsooth;
yet In the same paragraph, does not hesitate to
speak contemptuously of Its ministers, publicly por
traying them asbeiug “lubndierd” for political pur
poses.
If it be true that one of the candidates is a Uni
versalist, asjlie asserts, (on what| authority I know
not,) I have been taught by the Democratic party
not to proscribe any man for hit honestly enter
tained religious creed.
In his former article.be speaks of Mr. Hudson as
havleg “mors ambition than brain*.” Now he la
“encouraged that he will noon be hemeelf again." —
He believes him “to bt a candid, frank and honest
man.” Now, before attempting,tooorry favorwith
him in this way, propriety demands that h* should
go (as an houest man would) and acknowledge with
shame that he had taken an unwarrantable liberty
with his name. Id flint unnecessarily and contemp
tuously dragging it into ths publio prints, without
any provocation whatever.
There is a part of his piece that 1* a perfect enig
ma. which, I thick, it would puasle Cfldipae himself,
the famous solver of the Sphinx's riddle, to explain.
In his drat piece he certainly charged Mr. Gresham
with not being able to makt a speech. In hie last
he says r “But this writer, ‘Justice,’ would have
the public believe[that ‘Fair Play had charged Mr.
Gresham with the crime of not making epeechtt. —
The insinuation it false, and ‘Jnstioe’ knew It wts
when he penned it. ‘Fair Play’ charged Mr. Gresh
am with no crime whatever—nor would he, were
tha election not over, charge him with a crime, If It
be one, which he is incspable of committing. ‘Fair
Play’ could never miss the mark to far se to charge
him or any of his emissaries, with making public
tlieir principles or purposes. ‘They lov# darkness
rather than light.’ They preferred to <*tak about
(tor the slime of the sei pent wa# found in various
part* of the county) misrepresenting Judge Lawson
on the Inferior Court bill,” Ac. Now, I offer any
man a premium who will reconcile these contradic
tory s'atements, and make anything bnt nonsense
of them.
“ ‘Fair Play’ ha* no personal unkind feelings to
w ard any of the candidates.” lau't strange then
ti at be should name them, one by on*, and charge
. fliem with almost every specie* of dishonor.
What a tei rible fellow he would be, if he were only
I mad once I
A* to Mr Shewmekes complicity with the De
! n erratic nomination, I presume he is able to take
! core of himself. I have nothing to do with it I
: ciiouM not have preeumed to write alias for him, if
lie had not been basely attacked ou a point that tt
and l not become him to reply. Ton say, however,
j Fair Play did not hear Mr. 9. make any oonfes
tron,’ nor did he know that he bad mads any, anti]
•Justice’lifted the curtain.”
Well, realiy, this takes me by surprise, as I doubt
r. t.lt does every one of his reader*, for I have
hr ard no other construction put on hla remark* but
the one I gave them.
Now. it this construction (the on* I gave) ia incor
rect. picase inform us what you did mean by the
expression : ‘ Hi* S ewmake • confeealon to hi*
brethren,’ of which yon yourself aaid it did “not
become you to speak bnt of which, however,
you did e-rtfs, and have publiahad. It *o readily
occurred to me that it was a propagating of a fool
slander, (of which every one el*e, bmt ye*, bad
b ard,) that 1 thought I could not be mistaken in it.
If however. I have misconstrued it, then I confess
I have dons you great injustice t and a* that was
the prime cause of my writing, I now propose to
you, that If yon will give any othei more plausible
explanation of the remark than the one I gave, I
will unwrite what I have written, and make the
’ amende honorable,” a* every gentleman trill
cheerfully do who has injured another. Now, when
you come out again, don t ignore this fair propoel
t ion—l am in deep earnest about it. I should be
glad to have my own mind relieved from the be
lief that any man in Burke wee capable of writing
thue for the public.
If. however, you propose simply to bandy epi
thets. that is a game I don't play. There are some
spoiled children with wboai there is no chance to
end a dispute, antes* you give them the lot Uei.
Now. as I auaoh no importance to yeur article*,
and preeume the public do not either, having folly
explained mytelf, I gracefully yield yon this iaby't
privilege, with the assurance that if yoar future
efforts are as puny as your former. 1 shall only
laugh and enjoy it. Jew tee.

Whereas, a difficulty ha* grown oat of a corres
pondence between os, in view of the trouble and
harm to the cuureh (of which both are members) that

Visitation af Bishop Elliott at Emanuel Church
5a Athens.
In the recent viNitation of thia pariah, Bishop E.
confirmed twenty-five persons. Two others, we
understand, were prevented from attending by slck
nees This unusually large confirmation indicates
an extent and depth of interest in religions matters,
which promise the best results to thia important con
gregation. The Bishop spent several days in the
parish, preaching four time* to crowded and grati
fied congregations, and visiting, in company with
the Rector, every family connected with it. He ex
pressed special interest in the operations of a free
night tohool, which Dr. Henderson eetabflsfaed about
a year since, for the benefit of the laboring dam of
our population. In this are combined ail the essen
tial features of the Sunday School, day school, and
publio worship. Eighteen or twenty teacher# have
volunteered their services, including some of the
first oitimena of the town. About ninety pupils were
present on the night in which the Bishop waa ex
peoted to visit them—men, women and children.—
The improvement ia very manifest in every respect,
and must be very gratifying to al! who ars engaged
in the benevolent work.

those States, we are quite sure your interests would
be served by employing us to get ene in operation
for you.
Without wishing or designing to disparage our
neighbors, (some of whom are engaged in the tame
business,) we would say that to make a bank more

played In Its organisation, which has not been dis
played by those we hav* alluded to i for ont of for
ty-three they were instrumental in “ getting up ‘

have “ got up” (twenty-seven) only fourteen have
failed. We have made it our particular study to
organise “ free banks.” and hones our saeoess ;
and if parties who desire to “get up” banks will b#
governed by the advioe we give, (la our private
circulars,) there is no danger but the projector of ths
bank will make money, and it it to the projectors’
interest we only look.
It will, sir, cost you but little to get up a bank

addition of the retaining fee, $2,000, as above men

Kbmidt for Hard Tims —Mayor Wood has
oommunioated a plan to the New York Council for
mitigating the pressure of times upon th* laboring
classes in that oity, whloh it embodied In th* follow

to advertise for estimates for furnishing ths Corpo

Twenty-five per oent. could be paid in eaah. Every

“Truly may it bs said,” says Mayor Wood, “that
in New York tiers mho product emery thing get
nothing—and thote mho produce nothing get emery
thing. They labor without luoome, whilst sur

A National Bank.— The National Intelligencer
argues elaborately with Its usual Intelligence and
earnest ability in favor of a National Bank. The
financial evils whloh periodically afflict th* oountry
it thinks, spring from an ill-regulated eurreney.—
Doubtless wild speculation and rash overtrading
and luxurious extravagance are the Immediate
causes of these recurring pressures; but behind
them all exists the procuring oause of them all, in a
monetary system which tends, by the vloes and de
fects of its structure, to create the conditions most
propitioas to ths unnatural growth and develop
ment of these secondary causes which are the sure
precursors of coming disasters. And It is for pre
cisely these monetary evils and for these besetting
dangers of our busineee and activity that a National
Bank (with those checks and limitations which must
ever be applied to all deposits of power, whether in
government or finance) would afford the speediest,
surest, safest, and wisest remedy.

Nsw Orliabs, Thursday Evening, Oet. 22d.
There appeared to be a better cub demand for cot
ton this morning, but In ths way of Exchange nego
tiations, ws oould psrcisvs nothing mors enoourag
ing than has been related from day to day. It was
whispered that a partial remedy would be forthcom
ing In ths shape of some united action on the part
of lbs banks, but up to ths hour of olosiug, there
were no indications of real relief from that quarter.
The arrangements for eotton purchases are shifted
in every possible way. Here there is a clean cash
transaction, there half eash and half paper, then
again part eash, part paper, part certified checks,
and part suspended bank notes, in fine no effort is
■pared *n the side of buyen to Drtng in their orders
before they are countermanded. In one or two In
stances parties who had drawn gold from tbs banks
and flndiDg the burden of hoarding too onerous,
cams in and relieved themselves by taking a fsw
hundred bales of oottan. Ths consequence on ths
whole was that ths market somewhat stiffened, and
that the bnlk of ths operations settled on a basis of
ten oents for middling. Some of ths factors it is
true are not free sellers at this figure, and in conver
sation with some of the largest receivers, ws find
that they do not foel themselves justified in going
before their oour-j-y constituents with aooonnt sales
•oTaifbelow their expectations In ths oase of ths
heaviest msrohants the argument it that whilst the
country ia indebted to them perhaps in ths amount
of half a million or more, the attempt to foro* off ths
existing stocks would engender a feeling under
whioh they might b* measurably out off from their
reoalpta, and thus find themselves ultimately una
ble to meet thsii engagements. They oontend that
under a regular state of affairs, they would meet the
market even at lower rats* than those bow ruling,
but that It would be impotitlo and in violation or
the sound rules of prudsbos to foros sals* when
there is no fixed market at all.
This muoh in explanation of th* apparent tenacity
with whioh soma partis* hold on to their receipts.
They do not daalr* to endanger thalr position by
what they eonsldar uncalled saorlfloea for the mo
ment. Ws do not pretend to offer an opinion on
motives whlah after all are sustained by sharp and
settled logio, but content ouraalvaa as usual by
stating facts whloh ooms hourly under our notioa.
So far as th* partial movement of our great sta
ple U oonoernsd, It undeniably constitutes a favora
ble feature, but st it is our pleasure to obroniole
this amendment, It is also our duty to state that the
relief thus far it of ths most passing character.—
Ths main difficulty yst remains to be removed, and
that is the exohangee. Parties, even of undoubted
strength, are unable to operate with any freedom,
and It is oertainly not owing to want of exertion
that their bills remain undrawn. A flying rumor
runs through the street that such and such a bank
is baying, which, when sifted, reduoes the transac
tions to a fsw thousand pounds, whereupon the
manager exclaims that he has enough until to-mor
row. The morrow brings with it a repetition of the
serve tale, and thus what we call substantial relief
appears as far off as ever.
At ths various bank parlors great confidence is
expressed in the early arrival of specie from abroad,
ana with It they oontend all existing difficulties will
vanish. That ooin will ooms from England and in
considerable quantities we entertain no doubt.—
Bnt arrangements must also bs made to draw it on
arrival from New York. To do this effectually,
Bight must decline, not by fractions, bnt at onoe to
five per oent. The drawing of ohecks should not
be a question of profit with any bank. This hig
gling for a quarter or a half per oent. is ebsurd, end
if any real benefit is intended the rate should be
put down at onoe to the figure at which private
bills can be bought These hitter were offered free
ly to-day at 3 per cent, discount. This is the vrey
to oommand the specie. If 3 per cent, won’t do it,
£o down to 5, and If that be insnffloient, then drop
> 6 and so on. A severe disease requires an equal
ly eevere remedy.
Some Sterling was told this morning at 90a93,
and a little sight at 3 F cent dlsoount. Ws quote
Francs 6f,206.00f, but a sale was made even low
er than the Inside figure.
There Is no market as yet for money, and we
do not hear of a single outside negotiation. In bank
no new busineee is entertained, and the proceeds of
ootton sales are applied almost exclusively to taking
up outside negotiations, whilst the discounted paper
es a general rule, is either wholly renewed or with
a curtailment of five to ten IA oent.
Baltimori, Saturday, Oot. *4, P. M.—Thia be*
lag Saturday, and provision having to be made for
notes falling due to-morrow, the market was some
what more stringent.
Subsequent to the suspension of specie payment
by our banks, it was agreed among them to settle
balances at the expir&tloo of each month by paying
6 Fet. interest to oreditor banks. This policy, it is
thought, does not work so favorably to oommerolal
Interests as might be desired. Banks whloh be
came large creditors of others, are oontent to hold
them ana allow their capital, thus secured, to accu
mulate at th* regular rate, 8 per oent, rather than
loan it ont on oommerolal paper at th* same psr
oentag*. Thus, banks disposed to be liberal are
curbed and held baok from an aooommodatlon of
the business oemmunlty, in oonaequeno* of thia
shook, wkillst those more able are restrained under
what they may suppose superior lnduoement* to ln
vset To avoid the evil hare spoken of, would It
not be well for tk* various oity banka to fix thereto
of Interest among thamaeivaa for dally balanoa* at
4 instead of 6 par oent, so thatmerobanta and basi
net* men may find greater relief. Ws merely give
out this suggestion m hope of Its approval.

—The Journal de St. Petereburg of the let inst.,
publishes the following official account of the lore
of the Rusaian ship of the line Lefor t, already men
tioned :
It has pleased Providence I should participate in
one of the greatest disasters that can happen at sea,
and to make me a witness of the instantaneous and
inexplicable lose of one of the vessels in my fleet. A
few minutes have sufficed for a beautiful ship of the
hne, thoroughly seaworthy, to be enguiphed by the
waves during a tempestuous night. Not a cry of
distress reached us from the scene of the disaster,
although we were but four cables’ length distant to
windward No one survives to explaiuto'us the
oause of this unparalleled catastrophe
On the 29th of August, (September 9.) four slops
of the hpe. the Imp -ratrice, Alexandria, the Vla
dimir, the Lsfort, of 84 guns, and the Pamiat Aso
va, of 74 guns, which were in the port of Revel
received orders to arm and return to Cronstadt.—
Ten days after tiie Pamiat Aaova quitted the roads
towed by a steam frigate. The three other vessels
were ready to set sail two days later , they had
water and provisions for a month, and their stowage
waa the same as at the end of their cruise in Ihe pre
ceding year. the Lefort waa thoroughly repaired
at Cronstadt m 1852. I had received instructions
to profit by the favorable weather toaet sail with
out waiting for the steam tugs.
On the 9th of September (.list) I got under sail
with beautiful weather and a favorable hreuse from
S. 8. W., the barometer marking 29 79 English. A
little later the wind freshened, aud abreast of the
island of Kothskar we were obliged to take iu two
reefr In the topsails. At half-past eight P. M after
passing the Island of Hochland, ths fleet waa ma
king more than 11 knots. The wind increasing, I
ordered a third, and then a fourth reef to betaken
in. The barometer being at 29 15, and the weather
foggy, we sailed as olose as possible to the wind
endeavoring to keep our oouree by short tacks un
til morning ; each time I gave the signal for ths
manoeuvre. At half paet 11 the wind shifted to the
west, at midnight to the southwest, and at four
o’elook to the north, with squalls and snow At
daybreak we were near the Island of Grand Tutors
The fleet was ou the starboard tack, the Impera
tnoe Alexandria a little to the windward, and the
Vladimir in tha wake of th* Lefort, with four reefs
In her topsaua.
At a distance of five miles from Tuters w# veer
ed ; during our manoeuvre the Lefort appeared to
ut ae if wishing to Tear ; suddenly a violent squall
laid her on her tide. Though her eaile were let go,
she leaned ovei so muoh to the larboard that we
expected her mast* would go, but the continued
gradually to lean over till the foundered in the short
time that the Vladimir took to took about. The
keel of the Lefort appeared onoe, and was then
■wallowed up iu the waves.
Exclusive of the oommander and 12 officers, the
vessel had on board 743 seamen, 53 women, aud 17
ohildren; all perished.
This disaster took place on September 10 (22) at
23 minutes past 7 A. M., at 3 1-2 miles to the north
northeast of the Island of Grand Tuters at a depth
of thirty fathoms. After this unparalleled oatastro
phe, the wind continuing to increase, we brailed up
the toretopsails and topgallant sails, and afterwards
the maintopsails, and decided to anchor at a depth
of 31 fathoms, letting out all the cable of two an
chors. Fifty-three hours afterwards the wind
oalmed, aud the steamers, arriving In the meantime,
towed us to Cronitradt. Signed by the Rear-Ad

“We have this day an announcement to make

over from the Anglican Church to Popery should be
gone through on Thursday or Friday, but at the
very urgent entreaties of some of the Traotarian
friends of the embryo seceders, they have agreed
to deter the formal step for a few days longer. • • •
It is a curious fact that at least ten of the clergy
men in the category to whioh we allude, who are de
termined to throw themeelves into the arms of the
Romish Church are unmarried. We believe that a
majority of their numbers are members of the Uni
versity ot Oxford j and on Tuesday the propriety
of postponing the step was matter of serious delib
eration among the leading Tractarians in Oxford.—
Some Puseyite clergymen loft London for the ex
press purpose of attending the private meetingfre
terred to. Among the laymen whose counsels have
been sought in this matter is a well-known Traota
rian who ocoupies a high position in monetary oir
oles, and who has been at the head of the affairs of
the Bank of England. Beveral of the embryo so
coders are clergymen of standing in the literary as
well as eoolosiastieal world.”
If this it true—it Is strange that none of the other
London journals have anything to say ou the sub
ject. Suoh a wholesale apostacy, thus threatened,
would hardly escape the vigilance of the Times, or
any other of the PalmeritoD organs, whose dislike
of what it called Tractarianism, if not quits st de
cided as that of the “ Morning Advertiser,” (an
Bxstsr Hall oracle), is nevertheless sufficiently
strong to havs sounded on alarm,—lf the above an
nouncement were founded on foot. (Can anybody
tell who th* well-known Tractarlan Is, that has been
at the head of the Bank of Bngland?)— N. T. Un

—When the Indus arrived In the Southampton
dook, ou the 17th, the lady mayoress of London and
th* mayor of Southampton went on board to re
osiva tbs fugitives. Among the passengers Is Lieu
tenant Chapman, who was shot by the mutineers at
Benares. A bullet went light through his cheek,
and oarried away part of the roof of his mouth. His
speeoh is scarcely Intelligible. He is not above 19
yean of age.
Another of the passengers Is Captain Montague,
with his wife. lie belonged to the irregulars, and
was in oommand of a oompauy of Sikhs. He is in
jured in the shoulder and side. He belonged to
General Havelock's army, and fought on the march
to Cawnpore. He lost bis two ohildren through
want and exposure while coming down the Ganges
from Al.ahabad.
A Miss Goldie, a very beautiful young lady, was
taken by Nena Sahib to his harem, ana is believed
to be alive now.
When the passengers left Calcutta only 3,000
troops bad arrived there since the outbreak. Un
less Captain Peel makes his way up the river very
quickly, and before the rain? cease, It is scarcely
belived that he will get. bis guns up to Delhi; but if
he cannot carry his guns beyond Allahabad, ho will,
it is expected, push on for Delhi without them.
Bhould the water carriage fail, it would be extreme
ly diffloult, on aocount of the badness of the roads,
to Oonvey such heavy guns to Delhi by land.
Between Cawnpore and Lucknow there were
about 36,000 mutineers; and it is considered doubt
fill whether Sir J Outram will be successful In pass
ing up the Gogra. The river is lined with forts well
manned with mutineers. Outram's advanoe, how
ever, up the Gogra will, it is hoped, draw off the
mutineers from Havelock, and enable him probably
to escape from the dilemma in which he is placed.
There were many English at Calcutta when the
Indus left that port who had perilous escapes from
the upper provinces, aud who are expected to
arrive at Southampton by the next India mail
paoket. A lady is at Calcutta who has had her ears
out off by the mutineers. One of the lady passen
gers on board the Indus says that before she escap
ed a soldier’s wife came to her one day, and told I
her with the utmost glee, that she had killed a
Sepoy; and this turned out to be true ; the poor
woman had actually rushed upon a Sepoy, pinioned
him, and taken his life.
The Indus brought about 150 passengers, many
of whom are refugees from India. The soene pre
sented by their friends meeting these passengers
was one of overwhelming excitement. Many burst
into a flood of tears, and were deprived almost of
the power of utterance.
The Washington Aqueduct Is now daily receiv

Washinston, Oct. 23. — The New School Pres
byterian Synod of Virginia, now in session at Wash
ington, exercii.es jurisdiction over the greater part
ol that State, the Western Shore of Maryland and
the District of Columbia. To-day the Rev. Dr.
Danforth, from the committee on the minutee of the
General Assembly held at Cleveland in May last,
reported that it was Impossible for ‘hem to concur
in the views therein expressed, and that therefore
the Synod of Virginia is left to the alternative of
dissolving is connection with the General Aesem-
bly, and, accordingly, make this recommendation.
The Committee day, in iuggeating this course, that
they believe they are expressing the sentiment of
the great mmority of the churches, deliberately
formed after toe most ample discussion, and when
all the means of reconciliation and all the efforts
for united action hare been exhausted.
Several resolutions deprecatory of the agitation
of the slaveir question were laid on the table.
Rev. Mr. Newton, President ol Delaware Col
lege, offered a substitute for the report, which gave
rise to a more than ordinary spirited discussion. It
was in substanoe, that the oommitte be excused
from reporting on the minutes of the General As
sembly, and that the Synod reserve definite action
on the relation it sustains thereto, until the next
Synodioal meeting.
A warm debate ensued, involving the merits of
the slavery question, and was continued until a late
hour this evening. Dr. Sunderland, of this city,
opposed the agitation, but between liberty and
bondage, he emphatically preferred the former in
itself considered. If this was abolitionism, let the
Synod make the most of it. Dr. Boyd joined issue
with Dr. Sunderland, and earnestly advocated a
withdrawal from the General Assembly.

OBITUARY.
Died, in Warren county, on Friday, the 23d instant, of
Typhoid Fover, ROBERT K. MORELAND, Esq., aged
forty-two years.
To chronicle the death of a friend is, at all times, a
melancholy duty, but to record the death of one bound
to us by so many ties, and whose life has been adorned
with so many traits of character as the deceased, is still
more sad. The subject of this uotlco was a premising
and useful citizen of the county in which ho died. So
cially he was a gentleman possessed of gifts which en
deared him to all within the circle of bis acquaintance ;
gifted with a strong and vigorous intellect, he always
interested one with the originality of his views, and
charmed with the rai iness of his conversation; as
a politician he was hold and manly In the formation
and expression of his opinions, bat to his adversa
ry he was a generous and magnanimous disputant; confi
dent always of the truth and correctness of his views, he
was not the bigot to claim infallibility, but sought collis
ion of mind with mind in order to get at the truth of the
subject. The writer of this tribute to his memory knew
him well, and from this stand point, as death has stilled
his voice aud turned back the current of life, he can see
in the family circle who-li he has left, and in society at
large, a vacuum made which few can fill; as a friend, he
was constant and unchanging, and none who over enjoy
ed his confidence and knew the nobility of his nature
can know no pain from dropping a silent tear of regret at
this sad bereavment. A wife, tender and fond, has been
v. Idowed, and seven interesting children |have been
made orphans by this afflicting stroke, and may *‘Ood,
who tempers the winds to the shorn Lamb,” protect and
bless them. E. 11. P.

GLOVER, daughter of Capt. Ell Glover.
One of earth’s gentle, lovely and pure-hearted daugh
ters has passed away. A home is left desolate, and bit
ter anguish wrings the hearts of kindred aad friends.—
But a Savior died and rose again, and tho loved one Is
now in His arms, wrapt In bright ethereal beauty, prais
ing with her Angel Sister, His name and love. The bro
ken, despairing heart can find strength and hope in that
love, and though the night seems dark, “ Joy cometh in
the morning ” With hopeful trust in Him who “ doeth
all things well,” let us teach our hearts with truth to
say, “ Thy will be done.” ***

Weep not, fond parents ; thy dear little one la gone to
Him, who has said suffer little children to come unto me

Death spi e&ds his with’rlng, wintry arms,
And beauty smiles no more.
Ah ! where are now those rising oharma
Which pleased our eyes before.
Hope leoks beyond the bounds of time,
When what we now deplore,
Shall rise in fnll, Immotal prime,
And bloom to fade no more.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
NATIONAL AMERICAN :
A NEWS, Political and Commercial Journal, pub
lished In Atlanta, Georgia, Dally, Tri-Weekly and
Weekly.
The “ NATIONAL AMERICAN” Is devoted to the
exposition, defence and advocacy of the principles of the
American -‘arty, the progress and healthy development
of the resources of the whole country, but more espe
cially of the South, and to the Commercial Interests and
Independence of the Southern States.
Looking mainiy to Northwestern and Western Geor
gia, and the adjoining portions of Alabama and Tennes
see—a country of unequalled Mineral and Agricultural
wealth—for circulation, the publisher intends to direct
his efforts to supply the wauts of that sectiOD, and to
bring more fully into notice its capabilities for command
ing infiuenc*. Hence, it will be cloaely allied with the
vital interests of thie fertile region.
While striving to maintain a National, Conservative
course, politically, Its columns shall never be proatituted
to the service of mere party at tbo sacrifice of the South,
but will repel all assaults, from any quarter, upon her
rights or institutions.
It is Intended to give full and reliable accounts of the
trade of this and other markets ; the price of all kinda of
produce, and other articles in which this section is di
rectly concerned.
Full and complete statemen tof produce ; reports of
actual sales, and correct, reliable quotations will be
given each week ; in fact, nothing reasonable will be
left undone to make the “National American” worthy
an extended circulation, a generous patronage, and desi
rable to all having anything to buy or sell.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. O.—A feeling of uneasiness has
gradually come over the public mind, less on account of
poltllcs than Money matters ; those give cause to some
anxiety seeing the continued rise in tho rates of di oouut
on the Continent, and the severe crisis in the United
States, which cannot but have au Injurious effect upon
the manufacturing industry of this country ss well as of
France anc Germany. For some time past there have
been complaints 1 hat the American orders have not oome
up to the former extent Our ratee of discount have
been raised to 6 per cent, and there Is every indication of
a further advance. At present, money Is easy, for com
mercial credit Is uninjured Hitherto the shipments of
bullion to the United States nlve bean unimportant but
-hey will probably increase.
The demand for Cotton has revived considerably this
week chiefly from the trade, and tLe slight decline no
ticed last week has been recovered in the current de
scriptions of American Cotton ; evtn the lower qualities
have met with some attentlen from speculators although
at low prices. The demand was brisk at the opening of
tho week, hut It became less so with the raising of the
discount. The market Is however, firm. Braxlls and
Egyptians are steady. Snrats are again In good demand
and rather dearer. We quote Now Orleans fair 9|d mid
dling 9 5-lfld; Mobile fair 9 9-16d, middling 0 3-16d- Up
lands fair 9Jd, middling 9 l-16d; ordinary to good'ordi
nary of all 6Jdffß4d. Ihe sales are only for five days
on account of the Intervening fast day Tha Cotton sales
are 7000 hales to-day, Including 1000 bales for export, A a
Tho market is firm bnt not buoyant.
MiICCHFfTER.—Tho favorable advices from China,
whore shipments of Cotton Goods have lef; handsome
profits, and the accounts from the East India markets
w hich were less unfavorable than was expected, toge’h
or with a renewed demand for Yarns for Germany
eau edonr market to be more bnovant than during the
last fortnight The current description of Goods ob
tained Borne advance, and yarns sold at 4d©4d. Iff 18
higher prices. The demand for Yarn which has con
tinued so long may, however, fall off now at any time.
The country tiralu markets have become quiet but
there Is very little giving way In price Continental
markets, except tho French, keeps as yet nearly ou a
par with ours, but the great fall in the Amerioan mar
kets excites attention and leads to the expectation of
cheap imports.
Tuesday’s market was dull aud lower. Wheat gave

HAVRE, Oct.fi.— Cotton.— Our last circular per Asia
and Vanderbilt reported a very quiet market, with prices
in favor of the buyer.
Wednesday the demand was extremely limited, and
Thursday the same dullness prevailed, so that the sales
of the two days barely reached 1,200 bales ; but on Fri
day, with improving accounts from Liverpool, tho de
mand revived and sales reached 2,400 hales at steadier
rates ; and Saturday, with very favorable advioes from
the English market, a greater degree of aotivity was
displayed here; and upwards of 3000 bales changed
hands, with au advance of fully 2f on the previous week’s
quotations.
Monday we received telegraphic accounts of the Eu
repa*s arrival at Liverpool, which accounts being less fa
vorable to the crop, have given a li’-ely impulse to our
transactions, and the sales of the day reached 4,500
bales, with a further advance of 1 to 2f. In prices; has
Orleans obtaining readily 125f, and tres ordinaire do. 128
francs.
Tuesday at noon the market is quieter; sales only 699
bales, without change in prices.
Sales of the week 11,000 bales, against 320 bales Im
ports—reducing our stock to 78,900 bales.
From our manufacturing districts the advice* are not
encouraging, the downward tendency of the Havre and
Liverpool Col Lon markets having rendered buyers quite
reserved, and business in general Is extremely dull.
