The machine ry of the Rhode Island was made at the Allaire works, N. Y., in 1836, also the bell; and on tho books, found the weight of the identical bell registered at 200 lbs.

Resolved; That we will employ no school teachers or patronize any school untterthe management of any person or. persons, who a re not known to be wfmlly Southern in all their feelings and opin ions,'as we are unwilling to subject our children to the tarnt of corruption, by placing (hem under the influence of those who claim it as a religious merit to aid‘in the destruction of Southern institutions. . r ‘ uU-SOe.'peid-Ghar.ee Buker. ettre J1.

Tlie above paragraph, purporting to be an ex tract Irom a letter received by the editor, waa taken from the Southern Banner of last week. Doubt less the editor’s sapiential majesty (?) thought, by the publication of that extract, that be was striking a fallen enemy. ( Valorous f) We are bnregbUo this conclusion, from the fact, that in 1847, a con troversy occurred between that print and this, da ring which, the editor of the Banner published, without permission of the writer, a private"commu nication, in relation to the controversy, from the senior editor of this, paper. The “veteran,” still writhing Irom the castigation he liad received, with that dignity alone peculiar to himself fnd that beast of burden of which we read in the scriptures, made the proclamation to his readers, in connec'ion with the private note, that henceforth he would no tice nothing emanating from this sheet. He has kept his word up to hi* last issue, when, felicitating himself upon the removal of the “ thorn in his aide,” lye is relieved of the bans undet which he had plac ed himself, and ventures to publish tho above ex tract. We are sorry to dispel the happy Illusion from the minds of the editor'and his correspondent, lint we beg leave to say that we are not dead yet. We still exist—by pricking him occasionally—to show up the editor's inconsistencies. We will on ly say, In conclusion, that anvthing from ihe Ban ner, adverse to this paper, is-for more preferable ild be its plaudits.
