In proof of this profoundly philosophical theory, theNew Yerk World, a journal with somo penchant for statistics, has been rum maging among figures, and brought forth some neat little evidence token from tho cen sus of 1870. The six New England States—Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut—have * white it population of about three millions and a half. The six States of Delaware, Maryland, Vir ginia, the two Carolines end Georgia have the same white population. Yet tbe heathenish, semi-harbareas six Southern States, strange to say, have 11,567 churches, and their six Northern super- civilized and Puritanic brother States have only 5,431 churches, or less than half aa many to the same number of people as their Southern neighbors.

Everybody knows something of Benja min Disraeli, who, In hts younger days flour ished as toe author ef several well-written novels, and as fashionable guest of toe lady ‘ Gore House. Vivian Grey, the “Young Duke,” “Contarini Fleming’ and “Henrietta Temple” are quite as well known to young readers as “Coningsby” and “Letoair” are to persons of sedater minds. Everybody knows somethin?, t»j, ef the parliamentiaiy career of toe British statesman who was once the right hand of power of Earl Derby and Premier at a later day. Bnt there is a silent figure behind the scenes ef toe pnblie life of Disraeli, not known to most people—a woman of s re markable strength of character and of ad mirablc judgment. This is Vtsconnteas Bea- contfleld, toe wife of Disraeli, She is tele-, yaphically reported as dangerously ill in jondon, and perhaps, ere now, Las succumbed as she is passing into age. In 1837 Disraeli was returned by toe con stituency of Maidstone and took his seat in the House of Commons. His first speech, wbich is represented as ambitions and pre tentious, was a flat fulcra. The Hoes® ridiculed toe effort, aad toe speaker in dignantly said: “I will ait down now, bnt the time will come when yon will hear me!’ Any one conversant with British parliamentary manners will appre ciate toe feelings ef toe aspirant. The House of Commons neither tolerate tedious nor stupid speeches. All sorts of noises, coughing, crowing, stamping, are resorted to, that a speedy end may be put to tbe efforts of a member who botes them. It is on such occasions toe most undignified legislative body in the world. Hence it is, that so few members become at the outset famous. He must indeed be gifted with unusual powers ef endurance wuo can stand np against a body of men determined to listen only te brief and apposite speeches and no one but a veteran, cue who has conquered respect by an exhibition of good sense, good taste asd genuine power, is allowed the privilege of a lengthy expats of his opinions. Disraeli's half-savage remark to toe de riding members of to® House was prophetic. The man left power stir within him. But it required another power to give hi3 genius momentum, and this was wealth. In 1839, two year* alter hi* failure in Parliament, he married a rich widow, Mrs. Wyndham Lewis. Independent of the isflaence wealth gave her, she possessed a character well calculated to stimulate toe ambition of her husband. From the day of bis marriage, Disraeli took a more prominent position in toe aristocratic life of the British metropolis, and became soon more prominent in political circles. On the day when he strolled out from the House of Commons Premier of Great Britain, his wife leaning upon his arm, said, half-trinmphantly and half-refiectively: “To-day my husband is Prime Minister of toe British Empire!” Refusing to be elevated to toe peerage, if, indeed, any royal patent could elevate a man of Disraeli’s genins as an author or a states man, be requested the Crown to honor his wife, for by honoring ber be himself wculd be honored.

On Sunday evening, not far from the soend of prayer and praise, in tbo vicinity of one of our leading churches, was enacted a scene that tho few who witnessed it can never efface from memory. A young, accomplishtd and exceedingly lovely girl, about 24 years of age, named Emily Goodby, attempted to end her life by taking a powerful dose of arsenic. Medical aid was promptly at hand, and her life was saved. The utmost endeavors were made to hash tho matter np, on account of the parties in volved, but as the principal will have left toe city before this .article la read, there is no reason for concealment. The lady had been temporarily here as'the wife of a gentleman engaged in a traveling agency, and who resides at the North. He was very attentive, and apparently de voted toward her, and she seemed ta idolize him. • She is a blonde, with a wealth of light colored hair, a most exquisite complexion, largo expressive and lustrous blue eyes, beau tiful regular features, rare ey e-lashes and eye brows, and a superbly symmetrical figure. It seems that toe gentleman had occasion to go to a place outside this city, leaving her here. During the time of his absence a let ter came, whidi, from too handwriting, she, with womanly instinct, knew was from some other woman. With irresistible impulse she opened and read it. The contents revealed toe fact that it was a young and excellent girl in Balti more to whom he was engaged, and expected to be married on New Year’s day. The con fiding girl evidently worshipped him as her idol, and had not the remotest idea of the character and habit* of the fellow into whoso keeping she was about to.commit her most precious hopes for life. The poor girl, Emily, frail and helpless as she was, had trusted this man’s promise to make hcr his wife, and to hsnor hcr with his name as soon as his business ®f this year could be arranged to take hcr to Europe, and conceal her origin and misfortune. At the revelation of his treachery discovered by the letter, she was nerved to desperation, and resolved to end her remorse in death. On the plea of poisoning some mice that troubled her room, she obtained Borne arsenic and swallowed it. She had previously written letters to her people, who reside in Vermont, and to hcr betrayer, whose name is Mar tin Balfour. Soon after administering toe drag she was overtaken with excruciating agony. Her moaning alarmed toe persons in adj scent rooms, who rushed in and discovered too situation. The man Balfour arrived shortly afterward, and manifested extraordi nary emotion of grief. After great exertions her life was saved. One of those present remarked how strik ingly suggestive the fair, frail and erring crea tore, os she lay in utter exhaustion and despondency, was of the line, “Once I was pure as toe beautiful snow.” The parties left thS city this morning.—Sa vannah AduAiscr. g5?~Tirg Atlaxta Cossrmmos is one of the best papers in the State.

Mr. Hoyt, in reply to Mr. Thompson, said the rebellion wu a crime, and if the men w*re disgraced by toe names ef toe battles in wbicb they were defeated it was tbe legit imate penalty of their crimes. These men should have these blazonry of their infamy perpetuated to the latest generation. If tho name of toe battle on the flag of the regular army would disgrace any man he should bo disgraced. Such men were not enlisting from any love of tho government, but from mercenary motives.
