Uell reader, what do you suppose to have been the character of that meeting ?

Tho Mail says lie had formerly been employed at Jatmoy and Lewis’ Foundry, in this city, and from a spell of intemperance had been taken to tho Hospi tal, and from there made his escape nnd was found in eight or ten days after as above des cribed.

Tho Arkansas Cotton Crop. The Little Hock True Democrat, of the 23d ull., referring to the prevailing impression that there will be a short cotton crop this year. savs : *■ Snell wo know will be the ease in this le gion of the country; The Arkansas river lands have suffered more from insects and fall rains than in any previous year. When this fertile valley fails to make its usual yield the prospect, for planters must, be gloomy indeed elsewhere. There are many good crops on the Arkan sas river, but i hero are more bud than good. And should an early frost fall, the crop will be exceedingly short, since the crop planted after the appearance of Hie insects in the spring will not reach maturity, while the fall rains will materially damage, by means of second growth, and by rotting the early crop. Eliza Logan in Boston. The Boston correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times says: Kliza Logan remains at Kimball's Museum for one week more; she would, however, con tinue to pack the house nightly, for two months to come, would other engagements permit her extending her stay in Boston for that length of lime. The longer she remains, the stronger seems to be the hold which she lias on the audiences which nightly fill this establishment to overflowing. Miss Logan is one of the greatest favorites with Mr. Kim ball's patrons Hint he has ever engaged, in the tragic line. ... + . A Itemnrkable Caso. A friend writes to the Southern Baptist the following facts concerning a lady who is a member of the Baptist Church in Lawtonville, S. r. She will be seventy-three years old on theitithof next Decumbcr, and Ims eighty seven children, grandchildren, or great, grand children now living, and there lias not yet been found a swearer or a drunkard among them. The most of them who arc grown are members of the Baptist denomination. The lady is still quite active, and goes about visit ing among tho sick, often sitting up with them without suffering any from the effects of it. Extraordinary Marriage. The Charleston (S. (■.) Standard is respon sible for the statement that, a wedding took place last week, at the Court House iu one of tho districts of the Stato: in which the bride was one hundred and twenty, and the bride groom twelve years old. There was present at thu nuptial ceremony a son of the bride oMar than the bridegroom's father. Cfixrlntte amt South Carolina Railroad.

J, Mickle, a prominent citizen “f Ran dolph county, .Via., died suddenly on the uight ot the Ist installi. He ate it hearty supper that evening, and spent a jovial iime among the youngsters until 9 o’clock, and re tired to bed apparently perfectly well, iu a slion time he was heard to make a very unu sual noise, which attracted persons to his room, where lie was found in a dying condi tion. He lived but a few minutes after. Indians in Texas. The San Antonin (Texas) Ledger of the 2Dtli lilt,, says : IVe are informed by a gentleman just ar rived from Fort Clark, that on his way here, lie saw a party of Indians, and tlu> trails of others. Omyufornmnt's party was too small to permit of his attacking the Indians. Wc understand that Captains Oakes and Gilbert. P. K. A., mid a detachment of troops, encountered three parties of Indians near the mouth of i lie Rio Pecos, wlirre they had gone in search of them. One party was driven over the river into Mexico, and two others were surprised, nnd had four killed, ami as many wounded. Their arms, horses, anil cuttle, were captured, and their provisions and property destroyed. The difficulties winch the troops overcame in reaching and destroying this Indian stronghold, were al most insuperable, and too much credit cannot tie accorded them for their gallantry. ■— About Champagne W hut a thirsty world it is! To say nothing of Co’ rearm llqOore annually consumed and the r. 1 rivulets of the lighter wines perpetual ly flowing from Southern Europe, we have the enormous aggregate of fifteen million bottles of champagne annually imported from France alone. These arc big figures when we recol lect bow costly this wine is. mid how small relatively speaking— is the class of persons who habitually use it. The largest consumers aro the Germans (including the Prussians and the Austrians) who drink up nearly five mil lions es bottles per annum. Next in rank are the Yankees, the number assigned to us amounting to nearly three millions of bottles. Despotic Russia consumes two millions; France and Belgium about the same quantity ; John Bull— mrabile dicta, rarely exceeds half a mil lion. leaving about two million* for Spain, It#!y #nd the “roit of mankind ” Political Fanaticism. (In Saturday of last week, the Black Repub licans bud agrandpow-wow in Shelby, Orleans eo., X. Y,, during which they raised ft pole someone hundred nnd thirty feet high. The Rochester Advertiser says : “ During the night some parsons, supposed to be Fillmore men, procured a large cross and elevated it to the top of the poiv, where it was fastened iu such a manner that it could not be lowered by means of the rope and pulley with which it was raised. Early in the morning (Sunday morning, be it remembered,) the cross was discovered, aud an effort was made to lower it, which proved unsuccessful, and during which the rope broke near tlie top of the pole. By this time a large crowd had assembled, and prominent among those who were advising as to the best method of letting tlie cross down, were several Elders, Deacons, and Preachers, who deemed it of more importance to resent what they deemed an indignity offered to their candidate for J're sident, than to attend to tlie duties of their holy calling. Vftor many unsuccessful efforts to climb the pole, these Eiders, Deacons and Preachers, ad vised the procurement of rifles fur the purpose of shooting away the cross, ami the advice was followed.’ What u proceeding in a Christian community on tho Sabbath day! A noisy rub ble firing at a cross during the hour for church service, while standing by aiding and abetting, were men occupying the first positions in the church ! The cross was finally brought to the ground and the crowd dispersed. But the fi nale is not yet. Yesterday morning complaint w as made be fore a Justice of the Peace, and a number of those engaged in tho Fremont demonstration of the day previous were arraigned and fined for n desecration of the Sabbath, and among ihem was one of the preachers who figured most conspicuous m the attack upon tho cross! That Dam Roaring. A young buck went to see the daughter of a Presbyterian elder lately, whose hor.se was near a mill dam. it being the spring of the year, the waters made considerable of a roar as they tumbled into the dam. The modest young gentleman tapped lightly at the door at first anu received tie answer. Hctappod again -still no answer. Again and again he re peated his knock, but still he was unheard.— Mustering up courage, lie proceeded to inflict some severe thumps on the door, which brought tlie staid old gentleman out. 1 suppose, said the youngster, who had by this time become slightly savage, from being compelled to wait so long, 1 suppose you could not hear ino knocking for the dam roaring. The dam roaring! What do you mean sir ? How dare you speak in that way ‘! said the di vine, somewhat angered at hearing the young man swear in his presence. I mean to say, sir, that 1 suppose you could not hear me knocking on account of the dam roaring. Dam roaring! lou young scoundrel! Have you the impudence to insult me with a repeti tion of these words ? Begone sir! My dear sir! quoth the now bewildered youth, 1 intended to say that I presume 1 could not be heard on account o’ ihe dam roaring, laying peculiar emphasis on the last two words. Insult ou insult, shouted the infuriated man, and he rushed at the poor fellow with the evi dent intention of ejecting him but was restrain ed by the voice of his daughter, exclaiming : Papa, I suppose the young man intended to say that he couldn’t be heard on account of the roaring of the dam. Oh—l beg your pardon, sir—lbegyour par don—walk in. really—ah well! I declare!— The dam roaring! Capital ! come in, come in! that is really too rich. It is needless to add that the youngster went iu, and in the excellent society of the young lady soon forgot the dam roaring. Found Bead.

All Christians agree that our pride and haste to he rich, our love of’ power and aggrandizement, the violence and strife existing in the midst of us, our abuse of exalted privileges, and all our sins, just ly provoke the wrath of an offended Grod; and-that our hope is notin man, hut in Him. The true Christian knows, too, that lie Is himself short-sighted and er ring; liable tone mistaken as to t Rost and duty, and to misjudge as to what will he the best means of gaining desired results. The very events he now u.<>st seeks may lead ultimately to what he must dreads, and wlmt hi’ now dreads may be overruled to bring about what he wish es. God sees the end from the beginning; man is blind, and cannot see afar off. What can the Christian do but walk softly and humbly before God ; take his word for the standard of duty, and com mit all results to him iu prayer, which moves the arm that moves the world. How sweet the thought that all God’s redeemed people, men and women, of every age and condition, in the north and the south, in the east and the west, may join in one united unceasing prayer to God, that lie will deal with this nation in mercy; that he will save us from the pun ishments we deserve; that he will preserve this land for himself, and use her for the conversion of the world; that if he sees fit to rebuke and punish us, it shall be in love; that he will so control and overrule the raging passions and excitements of men as to advance his glory and the Redeemer’s kingdom, and make tho wrath of man to praise him. Here is hope. When did his people ever trust in him and not receive his pro tection and blessing? Look through all the records of the Old Testament—is there one case in which even a remnant of his people humbly committed their cause to him, repenting of their sins and rest ing on his mercy, in which he did not be stow upon them his smiles? Lotus feel and act like Asa, when a million Ethio pians came against him; “Asa cried unto the Lord and said. Lord, it is noth ing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power. Help us, () Lord our God, for wo rest on thee.” —American Mensent/er. Voluntary Return of- a Stave from n Free State. Sometime last winter, it will be remembered by 7 most of our city readers, a family of free negroes, under the direction of Felix, the bar ber, left this place with a view of settling in one of Ihe, Free States. About the time the party were getting ready to start, a slave wo man belonging to Mr. D. Young, and a sister to Felix, expressed a strong desire to go With her brother and father and mother, who were also of the company. Her master, prompted I by his well known kindness of heart, did not hesitate a moment, but cheerfully told her to go, and be free, if she desired it. She did go, and the party located at Chicago, Illinois. Bm on Friday night last she arrived here safe and sound, having travelled alone all tile wny from Chicago, where she left the balance of the family.
