CO, • Rcrora au( j Commission Merchants CHARLESTON, 8. C. J&liJ) MIL VOL. ll.} English Version of tile Rible. As the subject of anew version is be fore the people, we give the opinions of ;i few great men in regard to the old : Oelden says, “ The English translation of the Eible is the best translation in the world.” Pocock, the highest authority in Ori ental literature and languages, describes our version as “ being so agreeable to the original that we might well choose among others to follow it. were it not our own.” Dean Swift says, “ ! inn persuaded that the translators of the Biblo were masters of fin English style much fitter for that work than any we see in our present writ ings, which 1 take to be owing to the sim plicity that runs through the whole.” Bishop Lowth says, “ The vulgar trans lation of the Bible is the best standard of our language.” Bishop Horsely observes—“ Their ad herence to the Hebrew idiom is supposed at once to have enriched and adorned our language.” Lord Monboddo—“ I hold the English Bible to be the best standard of the Eng lish language we have at this day.” Bishop Middleton—“ The style of our present version is incomparably superior to anything which might be expected from the financial and perverted taste of our own age. It is simple, it is harmo nious, it is energetic, and—which is of no small importance—use has made it fa miliar. and time lias rendered it sacred.” i>r. hitaker states —“ It may bo com pared with any translation in the world, without fear of inferiority. It has not shrunk from the most rigorous investisa turn, and, in spite of numerous attempts to supersede it, it has hitherto remained unrivalled in the affections of the coun try.” Dr. Adam Clarke—“ For accuracy and fidelity, competent judges allow that this translation greatly exceeds all modern versions, either English or foreign.” decides, a learned and laborious Roman Catholic, candidly admits —“If accuracy, fidelity, and the strictest attention to the letter of the text be supposed to consti tute the qualities of an excellent version, this, of all versions, must in general be the most excellent. Every sentence, every word, every syllable, letter, and point, seem to have been weighed with the nicest exactitude, and expresssed, ei ther in the text or margin, with the great est precision.” I)r. Newman, whose curliest and purest creed was drawn from it, thus writes of it, ;ts if the miserable contrast to it pre sented in the Douai and Kheims had awakened all his better feelings, sympa thies and recollections : “ Who will not say that the uncommon beauty and mar vellous English of the Protestant Bible is not one of the greatest strongholds of heresy (Protestantism) is this country ? It lives in the ear like a music that can never he forgotten, like the sound of the church bell, which the convert hardly knows how he can forego. Its felicities seem to be almost tilings rather than mere words. It is part of the national mind, and the anchor of national seriousness. The memory of the dead passes into it. The potent traditions of childhood are stereotyped in its verses. The power of all the griefs and trials of a man is hid den beneath its words. It is the repre sentative of his best moments, and all that there has been about him of soft, and gentle, and pure, and penitent, and good, speaks to him forever out of his English Bible. It is his sacred thing, which doubt lias never dimmed, and con troversy never soiled. In the length and breadth of the land there is not a Protes tant with one spark of religion about him whose spiritual biography is not in his Saxon Bible.” Trench, who quotes and admires these words of Newman, himself a master of the English tongue, speaks of our version as “having the happy wisdom, the instinc tive tact with which its authors have steer ed between any futile, mischievous at tempts to ignore the full rights of the Latin part of the language, on the one side, and on the other any burdening of their version with such a multitude of learned Latin terms as should cause it to forfeit its homely character, and shut up great portions of it from the understand ing of plain and unlearned men.” A Wife’s Prayer. if there be anything that comes near er to the iniploration of Ruthjjto Naomi than the subjoined, wo have not seen it: “ Lord, bloss and preserve that dear person whom thou has chosen to bo 1113’ husband —let lii.s life be long and blessed, comfortable and holy; and let me also be come a great blessing unto him, and t sharer in all his sorrows, a meet helper in all the accidents and changes in this world, and make me amiable and forever dear to him ! Unite his heart to me in all the dearest love and holiness, and mine to keep him in all ungentle ness, discontented ne.'S and unreasonableness of passion and humor, and make us humble and obe dient, useful and observant, that we may delight in each other, according to the blessed word, and both of us may rejoice in Thcc, having our portion in the love and services of God forever ! amen.” COLUMBUS, GA„ SEPTEMBER 25, 1856. Blaik nd White. The Abolitionist journals affect to be somewhat astonished that we advocate the cause of Mr. Buchanan, who is supported by the slave-owners, as they choose to term the Southern interest. Let ns set them right upon this much vexed ques tion of compulsory labor, or as Mr. Fierce, in his excellent inaugural, calls it, “in voluntary Servitude.” All labor, with a lew exceptional in stances, is involuntary. We do not be lieve the man exists who actually prefers work to leisure, toil to pastime. Human nature is eminently social. There are a hundred bon v leant a to one misanthrope, and there is the same proportion of men who prefer ease and luxury, to out! who loves to hoard up his gold. Thus it may be confidently asserted that no man wil lingly works, and all labor is consequently involuntary. We have no wish to say anything harsh of manufacturers, but it seems to us that, of the two systems, Southci n slavery is preferable to Northern ! In both we be hold advantages and disadvantages; the Northern affords to the white laborer choice of employment, employer, relaxa tion, and, it must be admitted, choice of starvation. The rate of wages is alto gether beyond the control of the work man, for competition has already decided that point for him. He has Hobson’s choice, to take the current rate or leave it alone—in other words, to starve ! There is no help, and however miserable the rate, he has to submit. There is little tree choice in this, for the necessities of a family are more potent than the whip of the overseer. Again, should the white slave fall sick, he is at once discharged ; for were the employer to pay him for work not done, or, in other words, sup port him while he was incapacitated by disease, he would be raising the price of his own article, and thus allow a meaner man to sell cheaper, and cut him off from his market. Thus philanthropy would be ruinous to its unhappy votary, and soon drive that virtue from the field, never again to show its face, except as the pre cursor of bankruptcy ! Self-preservation, therefore, would soon leave competition as the great tyrant, and render wages, what they have ever been, the minimum at which human life can be sustained. Very evident is it, that ability to labor is the sole bond between the Northern master and his white slave ! Certainly, without going into the abstract merits of slavery, which is altogether beyond the record, negro slavery has some advanta ges. We have already shown that the white man’s toil is as compulsory as that of the negro ; for none, save the few who are horn wealthy, qnn afford to remain idle. In both cases, the Southern planter and the Northern manufacturer fix the rate of wages, but the negro has certain advantages over his white fellow toiler, since his employer, or owner, is bound, both by law and interest, to take care of him when lie is sick, and support his wife and children. llc represents value in the eyes of the Southern owner, and ho would no more damage his health than he would mutilate or destroy a thousand dollar bill. This bond of sympathy does not exist in the North. The link is broken the min ute one is helpless.— Meagher'& u Irish Ni'-V'x,” Horrible; Murder i:i Texas. A letter in tins New Orleans Delta, dated Marion, Texas, Sept. 4, says: One of those revolting assassinations at which the heart sickens, and which have be come so common in these diva of enormity, was committed in this county on the night of ‘he 2t>tli ult. The victims were A. E. Moore, Esq., his wife, and a lovely orphan girl, twelve years old, who was, by adoption, one of the family. They had just seated themselves at the supper table in the entry of their house, when the assassin, coolly fixing a rest for hi.s gun by propping n board between the two stems of an althen twenty steps from the table, and in full view of his unsuspecting victims, discharged at them a double barreled gun. At the first tire Moore fell, his wife, who sat on his left, ex clairnod, “Lord have mercy ! ” and at that in stant received the contents of a second gun, tired in quick succession. She fell instantly, and the orphan girl, who was seated on Moore’s right, and between Mr. Moore and the assas sin, sprang into the house and called for cam phor, hut before the servant could get to her she was dead! Mr. Moore received three shots in the head, and four in the right side of the chest. Hist arm above the elbow was much shattered, and the hand shot through, lie lived a very few minutes, but never spoke. Mrs. Moore receive four shots in the face, and never seemed to have breathed after she fell. A single shut struck the young girl a little to thu left of the spine, passed through the heart, and coming out at the left nipple, lodged in her clothes. I have this shot in my posses sion ; it is evidently a slug. The Coroner’s inquest did not elicit anything suflicient to found an arrest upon. — — —— The government of India has finally deter mined to limit the practice of polygamy by legislative enactments. Hiudooism is based upon the theory that every man lias a son to succeed him, and to perform those ("■remonics i which, far more than any act of his own, se cure to the Hindoo eternal bliss. The man, therefore, whose wife is barren, or hears only daughters, takes another wife. This will stiil he permitted, but every other form of poly gamy will be prohibited. —♦ Give instruction to a wise man, ami he will be yet wiser ; teach a just man, and he will | increase in learning.
