Wo suggested sometime ago, that there be a

nation of the country take the matter in hand and
call together their membership-at their several pla
ces of worship for the purpose of a public acknowl
edgement of gratitude to COD for the abundant
will, which he has crowned our board. Unfortu
nately, our abundance is more apt to make us wish
t'or’more than to beget in us gratitude for what we
have. Sometime since many were apprehending
famine, now there is plenty in the laud; and men
are too much disposed to forget the Giver even m
the midst of the abundance of His gifts. Because
of the political excitement in the country, Christian
men, should not forget their dut\.

TJ. S- Coast Survey 1853-
Wo acknowledge the receipt of this invaluable

perintendant ot the Coast Survey. It is replete
with sketches, Maps, tables 4 c. and will furnish a

with surprise, if not incredulity. M

FOREIGN ITEMS.
In the’fast fifty years, Sir William
Clay -says, more churches, have been
erected in England than during the.
r-hst five centuries. .
■- -V singular chart has been produced
bv M. Cariambert, of the Royal Geo-
grarai leak Society of Paris. 1 his gen
tleman has conceived the idea of show
ing the distribution of great men ovei
the *oil of France. It appears that La
Mancha has produced the greatest po
ets, philosophers, historians and artists.
The reeions near the North Sea have
been most fertile in generals; while
orators, physicians, naturalists and m-
Tcnters have sprung up on the shores
of the Mediteranean. Politicians and
Jawvers naturally come from all parts.
A veryn* curious attair is, says the
Sentinelle of Namar, about to occupy
public attention in Belgium. Iii the
Siege of Bouvignes, 14oo, the Duke
de^3rabant made prisoner a nobleman
named Legrain; but instead of taking
his life, as he was entitled to do, t.ie
duke consented to spare it on condition
of receiving all his estates’and proper-
tv T,e-Train made over all he possess
e'd, but stipulated that at the end of four
centuries it should return to his thimly.
The duke made no objection, ine
four centuries expired m July, and al
ready a great many persons represent
ing themselves to be descendants of
Xicgrain are reparing to claim the prop
erty. It is foreseen that tne claims
v ; ’l giv«» rise to numerous lawsuits.
* The Sultan’s favorite dwarf, a little
man about forty years old, and three
feet high, a few years ago took a no
tion to marry, and applied to the Sul
tan for a wife. The latter gave hnn
permission to go into his harem, and
take the one whom hi could Jci-ss. The
dwarf, like all other short men, was
ambitions to have a long wife. While
the Sultan’s live hundred women, u ho
l-new the terms according to which the
dwarf was permitted to choose, were
laughing at. the mannikin, he went up
to one of the tallest and handsomest, of
them, and struck her asudden blow on
the stomach. She collapsed with the
pain, and, before she could recover, he
caught her by the neck and gave her
the dreaded kiss. The Sultan kept hie
word, and the tall beauty is now the
mother of the dwarfs children.
jggp We learn with surprise, that
the Postmaster General issued an order
some davs ago, to discontinue the post
office at'Newman, in Coweta county, x
town of considerable commercial]imppr-

Grange Railroad. The following fiat
from the Department at Washiugton

shines, so does gold and silver, therefore the one
is equivalent to the other. Hence tin V- a maton-

not see it, and the poem of Miss Marshall lost its

One of the amendments of the liquor
law in Maine reads thus:
“If an expressman, car man, porter,

dencs, he is subject to a fine of twenty
dollars and costs for his first offence.
For the second offence, a fin© ana costs
and thirty davs imprisonment is the
penalty.' If any man carries in his own
baggage, or about his person, a iiask,
or any other vessel, containing liquor
of any sort, to be used by him, the pat

KEN.—The Paris correspondent oftne
New York Times writes:—A curious
combination of Arithmomame Axes the
15th of August as the date of the fall ot
Sebastopol. This result is obtained by
giving to each letter in the alphabet a
numerical value according to us posi
tion—A being 1, B being 2, &c.; a sen
tence is then composed (in French,)
representing that on the 15th of Au
gust France, England and Turkey will
inscribe on their banners the words
La Prise de Sebastopol! The figures
indicated bv the several letters ol this
sentence being added up, produce the
year 1855. It is ingenious but of
course it would be easy to force any
date and any year that the mathemati
cian wished. However, a spirit of jus
tice induces me to add that a letter
from Vienna, dated the 15th of July,
confirms ibis* opinion, and gives it us
tho idea of good “military authorities
there that the fate of Sebastopol will
bb decided about the middle of Au-
Political Excitement.
Tins bane of social life is again upon us, with
more intensity than ever, growing out of the facts
that parties are forming, on new issues,
many have heretofore been undecided, great ef
forts are made by pollirieal leaders to bring them
over to their way of thinking. Now that more
reasoning men have fallen into lines, we hope that
hie first stage of excitement is passed. Indeed,
we think so, from tho signs of tlie times herea
bouts. But now the floating vote must be secu
red, each party will muster its forces, ’ and we
fear the contest will be warm, Wc do hope fi r
the sake iff alt that is just, all that is honorable, all
that is Christian, that b becoming, respect for the
feelings and opinions, of othere will characterise all
who propose to take an active part in this canvass-
As in war, it lias grown to be an adage “all is fair
in politics;” and many of both parties, acting
upon this principle are guilty of doing things which
they would heartily oondemn in others, and would
itnt do theraBelves under other circumstances.
We are not among those who, believe or affect to
b e ;i e ve, that religious men should have nothing to
do with politics. They sh.uld make it a part of
their religion, proach-ra asVeH as people, to inform
themselves on all political points of interest, and
vote understandingly, not for menrparty’s sake. but.
for the sake of conscicnco-of God and tlieir oouutiy.
That is a proscription with a vengeance that would
endeavor to place a bou upon a Christian who is
bold and manly in the defence of what he deems to
be the truth. At the same time it becomes them
to mingle not in the strife and clamor of mere part
tisans, and especially should pastors, ‘‘be as wise
as serpen ts and as harmless as doves.” Let the
potsherds of the earth strive with the potshords of
the earth” but let tlie Christian patriot act his part
with prudence and dignity, remembering that the
sal vat on of tlie country depends more upon true
men acting out the principles of the Bible, than all
he brawling politicians of the. land. ,.

bidden the Papal “monitario,,’ (official
exposition of the struggle between Sar

public in any way in the Sardinian
States. The bill abolishing convents
passed the Chamber of Deputies by an
immense majority, In the course of
the debate, Minister Batazzi declared
that he was possessed of many letters
of monks who rejoiced in the hope to
be enabled to reflhrn to the world.—
The bill was, however, defeated in the

pursuit of matrimony under difficulties,

as easy as “rolling off a log. All
-sorts of methods have from time to
time been resorted to get around tins
difficult pointofcourtship—advertising
in the newspapers, corresponding by

been made upon these plans lately, as
witness the following:
A few nights back a small party ot
ladies and gentlemen were laughing
over the supposed awkwards attending
a declaration of love, when a gent e-
man remarked that if he ever offered
himself he would do it in a collected
and business like manner. “For in

himself to a lady present, “I would say

of about a "thousand dollars a year

indeed I love you, and wouid glad y

of all present; “I refer von. to my

gentlemen.* “Well, I declare ! said
the-ladies in: chorus. The lady and

claims of propriety and morality on

patriotism and Christianity on tlie other

sires of tne revolution wlio achieved

have we for the permanency of our in
stitutions, if already before our govern
ment is one century old, men become
so dissatisfied with its republics i loru-s
as *o be willing to set them at defiance
bv binding themselves in secret by the
most awful oaths to carry out their
covertly concocted political dengns.
This thought becomes peculiar.^ ap
palling when we contemplate the tact
that thousands upon thousands of those
who call themselves the disciples of
Him. who said “ swear not at all out,
“let vour vea be yea and }*our nay,
nav ” "caveLushed widely into t his or
der’and bv their example ana counte
nance and advice, are encouraging this
system of wholesale indiscriminate and
feckless swearing—thereby to a great
er or less extent, bringing into disrepute
moral obligation, and weakening tlie
solemn sanctions of an oath. .
We tremble for that liberty which
is to be left to the tender mercies of
bigotry and fanaticism. And surely
fto° one who has dispassionately wit
nessed the operations of this Kimw-
Nothing party, will d«-ny that it, is tne
appropriate foster mother of just such
frenzied children! Let it be remem
bered that intolerance is the charucter
istic feature of all that portion of their
platform wicli is new! And let it nev
er never be forgotten, that intolerance
and footrv whether national, section
al, social, moral, political or religions,
have ever rushed into extremes and
issued in fanaticism. Such is the mel
ancholly attestation of all history
whether sacred or profane, irom the
day when Satan exhibited his intoler
ance of truth in the Garden of Eden,
and possessed moth r Eve with that
wild spirit of fanaticism which has re
sulted so disastrously to the .human
ra I*f in opposition to the established
theory and practice of this government,
we are to have secret conclaves, Instead
of open, bold,' and manly parties as the
advocates of- political doctrines, how
long will it be, before some heartless
Robespierre, or traitorous Arnold shall
seize i p n 'his precedent set tor him

country—go. behind the dark curtain
of secrecy—there concoct insidious at
tacks unon the -constitution, and by
using the politi o —religious appliances
furnished, him by this party—silently
and covertly but surely undermine this
proud fabric of human freedom.'
But again, and finally, if this party
and its principles, are to bear sway,
and we are to judge'the future*by tlie
past, then, will we be Bailed upon, to
witness the rapid decay, and thorough
dissipation of all those cardinal doc
