This great Divine is no more. The
palpit of the United States has lost one of
its noblest ornaments, and the Methodist
Chnrch South, one of her ablest, most
pious and elquent divines. The tea thou
sand auditories that for the last forty years
have been so often thrilled by his elo
quence, will never again listen toils suasive
power. Many who have been led by it-to
leave the paths of vice, will feel that they
have lost a father; and can find eomfort
only in the thought of a reunion where
the grave and death are disarmed forever
of their power. He was a man to love as
well as to honor and respect. Truly a
great man has fallen in Israel.

generally. It comes from a source enti

we hope that they may be well considered.
The old maxim omne nimium vertiter in

Success to the cause say we. Our acts

counsel prudence and temperate measures.

of age. Since vhich time with but slight in-
1 r uisiions he has been a constant Itinerant
traveling through the length and breadth
of the land, preaching the cross. The
energies of youth, manhood and age, have
all been given to the services of his Divine
Matter. Having kept the faith, fought
the good fight, he has at last gone to his
great reward. The sadness which we feel
at the occurrence of this dispensation of
Providence is relieved by the thought
that he is now in the full enjoyment of
those beatitudes which he so often portray
ed to lure the sinner from the path of de
struction. His example on earth is the
rich heritage of the church. May she
profit by his example, and her members
be admonished by this dispensation of the
Allwise Disposer of events, to prepare for
the change which will ere long in like
manner introduce to them the realities of
the future state of being.

as to denounce the invisibles with great
severity. . ' ,
The wanton abuse of power is often pun
ished by some moral gelation. In this case
we learn that the American party has de
termined to make their great measures'
of reformation thorough and impartial.—
They have determined to rebuke not only
political Catholicism Alienism Abolitionism
Sectionolisni, Nullification and Disunionism
but also the party manners of the nation.
The St. Louis Republican says that a
canon to this effect has been interpolated
upon the Know Nothing creed at the late
Convention at Cincinnati, to the effect :
jThat no nomination shall ever be made of
any man for office who is attached to any
of the sectional or ultry parties into which
the county is divided.
We have no doubt that there will be a
universal anxiety amongst politicions to
qualify themselves for office under the new
authority by renouncing all party allegian
ce, and either professing themselves to
belong to the Know-Nothings, or no party
at all.— Batimore Patriot.

We understood that the citizens of
Sparta propose getting up a petition to
Congress for the purpose of giving them a
direct daily communication with Savan
nah and other seaport towns. For on* own
part we cannot see a single reason why
postage on Magazines is so much reduced.
The following are the terms of subscrip

Postage on the four Reviews and Black

Mr. Editor :—I see it stated in one of
your papers that the teachers of Washing

children entitled to the benefits of the poor
school fund last year. Whose fault is this ?
Were no returns made ? But let the act
of the last Legislature answer. It was the
duty of the receiver of Tax Returns to as
certain the number of children in the coun
ty between the ages of eight and sixteen
years, and also orphans and widows pay

to travel more than 200 miles to reach its

Editor when the teachers of Washington
receive their pay they never receive but
five cents per day. How is this ? If I

A correspondent, writing from Varna,
gives the following opinion of the Turks,
derived from personal acquainatance with
their achievements in the present war :—
“ They have, in the present struggle, be
haved in every way worthy of their ancient
fame, and have done everything that - one
looks for from brave and galant men ; but
they are very bad authorities when one sets
about collecting statistics. The new sys

ever, he has done wonders; but, in my
humble opinion, he hits never had 140,000
men on the Danube, much less 200,000 ;

so badly officered that one is every day
more and more lost iu admiration, their of

vious year by $361,756, and the receipts
greater, by 970,399. The president thinks
a proportionate increase cannot be antici

Georgia Gold Mine*
Washington, Dec. 30th, 1854.—Mr.
Editor :—One of the richest gold veins
in the Sc nth was discovered a few days
ago by a Mr. Jas. Brown, in Hart county
on his own.land. It is in micaceous slate,
about five feet wide, aud the one I saw
washed out yielded $10 per bushel and
some parts of the vein give from $20 to
$50. The developments as yet are very
superficial, aud only at two points ; but
if it prove extensive of like quality, it will
eclipse the celebrated Dorn Mine in South
Carolina, which has produced in the last
two years over $400,000. It appears to be
a special God-send, for no more worthy man
and wife live any where, and they have now-
living twelve sous and eight daughters, one
having died making her the mother of
twenty one children which she has raised
to be respectable and an honor to the
country ! Such a mother certainly deser
ves a pension from Government and under
Roman or Spartan rule would receive it.
M.S,
ergy, passion, high excitement, was Hayne

desks of the Senate Chamber! Yet what
must it have been to awaken sucie
from Webster! It summoned the might
iest resources of his great iutelleet. It
roused all the giant within him. It kin
dled all the meridian splendors of his ora
tory. Some writer has said it was an era
in a man’s life to have heard that
speech’of Webster. I heard them both,
and can bear witness to the consummate
eloquence of the South Carolinean. The
speech of his antagonist needs no eulogy.—
It is embalmed, sterotyped on the Ameri

that some time since Father M. was attac

that direction oceured to him “Cay upon

He alone could give. One of the men, who
seemed to be captain of the gang, asked
who he was and whither he was going ?

History of American Divines
An Albany correspondent of the Utica

Dr. Sprague of this city has been engaged
for a long time upon the great work of his
life, and one that will probably greatly
enhance his reputation as a writer and a

he U. S. frigate Constitution U“ e American Divines.” It is now in such
a state of forwardness that he hopes to

spared, in about a year from this time,—
If I am correctly informed, it is to consist
of a series of biographies of the most
eminent clergymen of this country of all
denominations father than what is com
monly called a history. It will probably
give a very good idea of the state of re
ligious opinion and feeling at the different
periods of our history. The work will
neccessafily be large ; it will consist of five
volumes aud will doubtless be considered
an acquisition in every valuable library.
Another Georgia Gold Mine.
We .were shown Monday, a s verv handsome
lot of gold, said, to have'been taken ’from
a newly discovered depositc mine, near the
line of Warren and Columbia counties and
about a mile from Fpundatiori Camp Ground
in Warren county. The lumps varied in
size from four to five pennyweights down
to the smallest particles collected by the aid
of mer ury. The deposite (they have not
yet discovered a vein) is situated on a
branch and is supposed to cover an area of
one mile in length by forty to fifty yards
in width. Thus far, the average yield
to the hand per day has been from two and
a-half to four-and-a-half pennyweights.
It is the property of Thomas Seay and
J. M. Ellett, who are now engaged in wor-

Vermont.—There is a singular insti
tution in Vermont, and one peculiar to
that State called the “Council of Censors.
By a clause in their State Constitution
the people are required every seventh year
to elect thirteen persons whose duty it
shall be to inquire whether during the last
seven years the Constitution has been vio
lated—whether the Executive and Legis
lative branches of the Government have
performed their duties—whether the taxes
have been justly leived and collected—
and whether the laws have been duly exe
cuted.
The Washington Correspondent of the
Journal of commerce Junius “thus dis
courses in relation to Southern Statesmen :
- “Georgia, the Empire State of the
South, long sent the accomplished Berrien
to the Senate. He was indeed a Senator,
both in age and attainments, lie must
have been quite seventy when 1m retired;
but from habitual use of his powers’ main
tained a “ green old age.” He was often
engaged in the room below—at the bar of
the Supreme Court; a well read lawyer, au
elegant man, an eloquent speaker. He
seemed to escape the decrepitude of age.
His was not the bending form, the fading
hair, the shattered voice. Perhaps the
youthfulness of his accomplished partner
promoted the gallantry of liis bearing and
geniality of his temperament. He is a
true Southern gentleman, ever doing hon
or to his State. He wos succeeded by Robt.
Toombs, who, like either men similar trans
ferred, makes the better Senator for hav-
becn an experienced Represcnative.—
Toombs is of the true cavalier order; bold,
decided, even impetuous at times, though

But wo to the assailant who singles him
out. Scarcely up to the meridian of life,
with a ruddy cheek, a rouud face and a ro
bust form, lie concentrates all his physical
energies to give effect to his mental efforts,
and threatens soon to exhaust himself, were
he not inexhaustible. He may be compared
to McDuffie, the celebrated Carolinian,
though not equal to him in fury-; perhaps not
in the essential vigor of intellect, and tl a‘
Demosthenic ruggedness of expression for
;vkick he was so distinguised. That burn
ing orator now sleeps quietly in his grave,
voiceless, pulseless, passionless ;how differ
ent this from “ life’s fitful fever,” aye, the
fever of political life, restless, raging,
wearing yea, tearing its victim to pieces,
with a reward for his sufferings often little
superior to that of the barbarian gladia
tor, “butchered to make a Roman holiday'.’
How the people look on and smile, or sigh,
while genius, talent, skill, power, thus ex
haust themselves. Iu such men as Hayne.
Me Duffle, Wise, Toombs, Stephens, and
others of like spirit, the South has ever
had chivalrous and tireless defenders.—
they love this arena with all its dust and

the case. The party which has thirsted
for the destructive overthrow of Europe
has excited the war against Russia, under
the pretence that European civilization is
menaced. This is nothing more nor less
than pitiful and rediculous. The protec

dangerous to European civilization. Such

and “they did not even known where he
came, from.” “True,” said the daughter
Tvho had well weighed the excellent qual

where he is going and I should like to

pilgrimage together.
