When Noah disembarked at Ararat he had nreely touched the pier when he proceeded attliy his passengers. He had just checked ft list item in the list—a 31 r. and Mrs. Bed- taj-whenthe cringing figure of a quadruped aat sneaking down the gang-plank with his ail between his legs. “Brat it, if there ain’t ht filler dog!” says Noah, aiming a vicious hd with his brogan at the brute. Butj with ifidlity born of long and bitter experience, tie brute dodged the projectile, and ejacula ting “ki-yi,” which is Syriac for “declined mthinks,” or “not for Jo”—he disappear ed while Noah, who had his sea-legs on, was Bible to recover his equilibrium, and sat ion with emphasis on the back of his head. Xoah arose, and, in accordance with the sjfe prevalent among the patriarchs, he pro ceeded to soothe his affronted dignity by pro- wwdng a variegated anathema upon the filler dog, which had characteristically sneak ed unobserved on board, in the confusion of pattinc to sea, and capsized the Captain at the first port He cursed that dog in body, Enb, bark, hide, hair, tail and wag, and ail his generations, relations and kindred, bycon- nnguintty or affinity, and his heirs and as- iftii He cursed him with endless h • ,ger, rah perpetual fear, with perennial la -eess, with hopeless mange, with incessant fleas, ud with his tail between his legs.

From all accounts the lale Southern Baptist Convention was very numerously attended, and the affairs of the Convention, it seems, were ventilated very freely, though in the best hu mor. Onr former account, condensed from the Courier-Jonrnal, carried us down to - riday night. On Saturday Dr. J. B. Taylor, in behalf of the Foreign Mission Board, presented resolutions to the effect that entry young man, who offered himself for missionary service in tho foreign field, be appointed! Dr. Burroughs, of Richmond, called atten tion to the vast field of China, which, it appears, other Baptists have left to Southern Bap" ts, and urged that greater energy and activity be infused into this mission work. Tho establishment of a mission to Ireland was suggested in a paperfrom the ■“Maryland Union Executive Board,” and referred to a committee. Rev. G. F. Adams, of Virginia, presented the report on “Past and Falnre Operations of the Domestio Mission Board.” The report gives a graphic account of the great work done by this Board in tho past in building up what are now some of the most flourishing churches in the country, in carrying the gospel to the red men of the forest, and helping many feeble churches all over the country. Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, of Maryland, readthe report on the extension of the foreign mission work. The report speaks of the present open ing in China, Spain, Ireland, Mexico, and other conntries, and urges upon the Board to estab lish missions in all these conntries just so soon as the means can be obtained. The mission to IrelandVas ably adrooated by Rev. H. McDonald, of Kentucky, a native Irish man, bat now a Kentucky Baptist. The question of contributions and agencies for collecting money was then discussed by Drs. Poindexter, Burroughs, Henderson, and Kim brough, and the business men of the Conven tion were called on to devise some plan for get ting at the contributions of the churches. In the afternoon it was reported that the debt of the Foreign mission Board had been liquida ted. Dr. T. C. Teasdala made an appeal in behalf of the Sunday-school Board, and received $1,160 00. It was agreed to hold the next ses sion at St. Louis. On Monday thero wa3 a very interesting and animated discussion in regard to the Sunday- school Board, which evinced that this Board and its work has a very strong hold upon tho great Baptist heart of the South, and that it was hear tily sustained in its last action. Tho order of business was suspended in order to allow the committee on Dr. Jeter’s resolu- tions on co-operation to report. In presenting the report Dr. Jeter said that while it did not go as far as he could desire, yet it met the unanimous approval of the committee, and he should cordially vote for it. The vote was taken withoutfurther discussion, and the report unanimously adopted as follows: The committee to whom were referred the preamble and resolution with reforence to fra ternal interconrse and co-operation with North ern Baptists, respectfully report: Your committee, .with all the light before them on the subject submitted to their consid eration, after a careful comparison of their views, have but little to add to the oonnsel pre sented in the report of the committee on co-op eration with the Sunday School Board, adopted by the Convention on Saturday. The policy recommended for that Board is proper for all the Boards. All are agreed that tho Convention and its Boards should be maintained in their in tegrity. No measures which endanger their existence or diminish their efficiency are to be tolerated. All the energies of Southern Bap tists should be directed to their support and the increase of their usefulness. Your committee do not recommend that any measures be adopted in the direction proposed in the pream ble and resolution referred to them, beyond those heretofore sanctioned by this Convention; and believing that the further agitation of a subject which has absorbed so much of the val uable time of this body, at its last three ses sions, tends only to disturb our own harmony, without promoting fraternal relations with oth er bodies, your committeo respectfully ask to be discharged from its further consideration. J. B. Jeter, of Va., Chairman. Rev. D. E. Burns presented the Report on African Missions. It gives a detailed account of the mission, urges sending ont more mission aries, especially colored men, and that the missionary spirit be cultivated among that class of our population. Rev. Dr. Poindexter offered a resolution in structing the Treasurers of the Boards of the Convention to make a more detailed statement of tho finances of their Boards. J. H. Mills, of North Carolina, earnestly op posed tho resolntion as implying a want of con fidence in the Boards, and offered additional resolutions, expressing highest confidence in tho Boards and urging the churches to co-oper- 4tdog tax.

Dr. Poindexter earnestly defended his reso lution, but was willing to accept brother Mill’s amendment. The resolutions, as amended, were unani mously adopted. Rev.

Dr. Broaddus made a feeling address, and then led in a fervent and appropriate prayer. ' Count of Boyl, Secretary of the Italian Embassy in Athens. The English Ambassador had done everything in his power to save the prisoners. The payment of the ransom, fixed at.first at £32,000; then at £25,000, (not £2,000 as stated) did not form the slightest obstacle; and as the brigands, in addition to the ransom, had insist ed on a full pardon to be granted by the Greek Government, the Ambassador, pleading the critical situation of the prisoners, had en deavored to persuade the authorities to accede this request Bat the Greek Minister of War, instead of avoiding any step endangering the lives of tho prisoners, sent troop3 in pursuit of the robbers, who, driven to despair, put their threat into execution. Loud are the denunciations of the British Press against the Greek Government The London Times publishes a violent leading arti cle against Greece, calling upon the Great Pro tecting Powers to send a suffioient force to Athens to exterminate the brigands, as the Greek Government had proved to be utterly in capable of establishing order within its own do minions. On the authority of the “NeueFreie Presse,” of Vienna, it is said that England has offered to purge Greoce of the brigands under the follow ing conditions: King George is to withdraw temporarily from the head of the government, a Regent is to be appointed, the present minis try to bo removed, and the act of habeas cor pus to be snspended. Fbance.—Though tho result of tho Plebisei- tnm can hardly be considered an unconditional vote of confidence in Napolean’s Government, it proves at least that France prefers the Em pire to another violent overthrow of the exist ing order. The Republican party has lost favc r with all sober-minded men since it has formed an allianoe with the Socialists who are deeply imbned with communistic principles and aim at the destruction of the whole modem society. The problem of reconciling thG right of the in dividual to the sovereignty of the State has al ready been agitated Bince a thousand years and is still as far from its solution as ever. Whether the Republican form of Government comes nearest to the ideal standard, has yet to be seen. In Europe the character of a Republican Gov ernment is but very imperfectly understood by the masses, with whom tho terms of anaroby and republio have a somewhat similar meaning. This remark applies particularly to tho French Republicans, whose Republicanism has al ways been tinged with vague ideas of commu nism ; and the accession to power of this party would probably be the signal for new violent commotions. We therefore think that the vio- tory of Napoleon is bnt in the interest of the French people. Many demonstrations and riots took place in Paris on the occasion of the plebisoitum. Sev eral collisions occurred between the troops and the people, always ending with the defeat of the latter. A great many persons—it is said 2,000 —have been arrested on the charge of having participated in the insurrection. The capital is quiet now. The police is still searching for accomplices in tho recent conspiracy against Napoleon. Tho opposition party has sent a com mittee to London and Brussels to ascertain whether there is any truth in the reports circulated by the ptolice. The London Times is rather incredulous and inclined to treat the whole conspiracy as a “manoever" of the French police to create a sensation in favor of Napolecn on the eve of the plebiscitum. The new ministry is complete. The Duke de Grammont has been appointed minister of foreign affairs. Napoleon, who is enjoying excellent health, attended the races and was heartily cheered by the people. Nouth Gebman Coneedebation.—There is a great deal of indignation felt in Berlin against the Committee of the Stock Exchange, which has cautioned the public against the purchase of certain American bonds, especially the North Pacific railroad and Honduras bonds. These securities, therefore, are not quoted on the of ficial bulletin of the StockExchango. Tho Lon don Times says the warniDg emanated from Mr. Koesing, the North-German Consul in New York, but Mr. Roesing emphatioally denies tho truth of this report. King William closed the session of the Cus toms’Parliament. He thanked the assembly for the ratification of the commercial treaties with Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands, and con gratulated the deputies upon the advantages North-German commerce would derive from those treaties. We are assured by the Augshurger Allgemoine Zoitong.” that in consequence of the Roman Council," Dr. Augustus Schenk, Ordinary Pro fessor of Botany in Liepsig, has withdrawn from the Roman Catholic Church to turn a Lutheran. The study of English language and literature is making rapid progress in North Geftnany. There will be a oonrse of leotures on Shak- speare and his plays, and certain epochs of English history in all German universities dar ing the summer months. Some Professors will lecture on the Anglo-Saxon, Iriah and Gaolio. In Breslau Dr. Karow proposes to lecture on the Celtic languages generally, and to examine critically some selections from Ossian. Italy.—The debates of the Roman Council are progressing slowly. The reply of Dapan- Ioup to Spalding, the Archbishop of Baltimore, in reference to tho infallibility question, will shortly he published. The four canons, “de Deo rerum omnium Creatore,” “de. Revelatione,” “de Fide,” and “de Fide et Ratione, ” have been solemnly pro mulgated in the public sitting of April 24th. lUnschor, the Cardinal of Vienna, Austria, has expressed his views on the Couhcil and Th* Kettbed Conductor.—‘’Gris,” of the Cincinnati Times, relates of an old conductor promoted to train dispatohor, as follows: Habit was exceedingly stroDg with the ex conductor. As he sat in the office ho would start every time he heard a bell ring and yell, “All aboard." Then he would go about the office at intervals and try to collect fare from his assistants.

Who ordered it—the Ptince? Oh, now I see] My birthday is in a few days; no doubt he intends thi3 a3 his birthday gift. Be sure you do not mention my visit here, and I shall say nothing to the Prince. The Princess was touched by tho thoughtful compliment from her husband, who, in those days, was neither noted for his thoughtfulness nor his tender ness, and eagerly awaited her birthday in si lence. The morning came, and numberless cadeaux according to German custom, were carried into her bed chamber, among them one that bore her husband’s handwriting on the cover ing. She tore off the wrappings trembling, almost weeping, and refusing assistance. The little casket contained a very handsome dia mond bracelet—no necklace. What could it mean ? Like the Queen, tho Princess Royal is a .martyr to jealous rage, and her fury may be imagined. But to discover what she was determined to learn, she hid her rage, saying to herself, “A necklace like that would only be a fitting cadeau to some one who goes to Court—I shall see it 1" And she did. At the next Court ball tho searching eyes of the Crown Princess did not permit any to pass unnoticed. At last there entered a young and beautiful lady—a well known belle; she wore that necklace I The eyes of her Royal High ness flashed as though giving back the light of the diamonds whe n her glance rested upon it. She walked deliberately up to the lady and asked her, in a tone quite audible to those near, “Who gave you that necklace?” The lady colored crimson, hesitated, stammered, and failed to re ply. _ “Who made you a pres ent of those exquisite diamonds ?” demanded the Princess, varying her question. The lady, now quite confident from tho manner of tne Crown Princess that she knew the donor, and there was no mercy to be expected, stood silent “It was given to you by the Crown Prince of Prussia, my husband 1 Deny it if you can—but you cannot I now leave this palace, and I will never more enter it until you have been openly forbidden to do so.’’ With that she swept out of the salon. Of course the fair necklace wearer was then and there dismissed in disgrace. Jumping into matrimony. fiom London Society. 1 Marriage is, unquestionably, as derided a turning point in human destiny as can be. It is, however, a turning point which, least of all, should be left to mere blind chance. Yet mere blind chance often rules the result. Ev erybody now recollects how Lord Byron staked on a toss up whether he should make his of fer to 31iss 3Iilbanke or not. 3Ir. Grant as serts that there is an English Duke now liv ing who wrote the following letter, when ilarquis, to a friend with whom he had agreed to inspect some carriages in LoBg Acre: “It will not be necessary to meet me to morrow to go to Long Aero* to iook for a car riage. From a remark made by tho Duke (his father) to-day, 1 fancy I am going to be married.” Not only had the Marquis left his father to chose a bride for him, and to make tho other necessary matrimonial arrangements, but when the intimation was made to him by the Duke that the future 31archioncss had been fixed on, he seemed to view the whole affair as if it had been one which did not concern him in the least- We have a similar anecdote of the late Duke of Sutherland: “On the morning of the day of his marriage, a friend of his found him leaning carelessly over the railing at the edge of the water in St James Park, and throwing crumbs of bread to the ducks. His friend, surprised to see him in such a place, and so engaged, within two hours of the ap pointed time l’or his marriage to one of tne finest women in England—one in whose veins the blood of his Howards flowed—exclaimed: “What I you here to-day. I thought you were going to be married this morning?” “Ye3,” was tho answer given with the most perfect non chalance, and throwing a few more crumbs to the ducks, without moving from the railing on which he was leaning—‘yes,I believe! am. * I should hope that sensible men do not often leave the choice of a wife to be deter mined in this intermediate way. Lynch Law lu Kansas. Fobt Scott, Kansas, May 13.—An aoconntof one of the most terrible outrages ever recorded is pnblisbed in to-day’s Monitor. On Taesday, seven men, either Texans or straggling outlaws 1 from Indian Territory, came to the town of Ladore, a few miles south of here. After drinking all day, they went to the board ing honse of L N. Boach and asked to stay all night. Being refused on aooonnt. of - their drunken condition, one of the party knocked Roach insensible with a revolver. They then went to the bed occupied by the two daughters of Roach, aged 12 and 14 years, and outraged them dnring the entire night. Roach revived after a time, bat feared to stir, knowing he would be killed if be did. He de scribes the cries and entreaties of the girls as heartrending. A quarrel arose among the de mons, and one of them, was shot dead 'while dogma of infallibility in a pamphlet, published in Naples.

True, the genius of steam has at last penetrated them; but aside from the daily invasion of a single train, the magic creation of a dozen or more buildings near the rushing mountain stream and under the primeval finest, and the magi cal sinking of some coal-Bhafts in tho veiy limits of the new village, all remains as it was on the day of the discoveiy of Columbus. Thus yet—hut soon everything will he changed. At Coal Creel:, ten miles nearer Knoxville, where coal beds were first tapped by this great young railway, a tfinrtY Village of "Welsh miners has sprung up, and wears already an established look. It is the old town as compared with Caretville: it 13 fully two years of age 1 Thus it is with “Young Amer ica,” hitched to a steam engine, with inexr haustible mineral wealth just ahead. He moves rapidly. ^Most of your readers are aware that the Knoxville and Kentucky R. R., extends al most due North from Knoxville, and is de signed to connect the latter plaee directly with Cincinnati, Ohio. The road is completed, and trains are now running 40 miles to Carey- ville. Twenty miles from Knoxville, the old village of Clinton, (first named Burmlle, but after Burr’s unfortunate homicide, changed to Clinton, in honor of De Witt Clinton,) is reached, and is vitalized by steam-power into a thrifty little town. T: i railway here passes through the Lone 3Iouutain and crosses a most valuable vein of iron ore, which must sooner or later attract the attention of manu facturers. At Clinton tho road crosses the River Clinch, far more euphoniously styled by the aborigines the Pelissippi. We trust that usage may soon restore to this beautiful stream its handsome Indian title. The Clinch was originally given to it by way of burlesque. A party of pioneers engaged in one of the earliest explorations of the country was cross ing this river on a rude raft An Irishman of the party, who could not swim, fell into the stream, and roared out lustily “ Clinch me, b’ys! Clinch me, b’ysl” He was speedily rescued, and his jocular comrades called the stream the Clinch. At Coal Creek, ten miles this side of Clin ton, the first coal mines are reached. Three mines are already developed. Large forces of miners are actively at work, and immense sup plies of coal are furnished to consumers. This fine coal, superior to any previously supplied by the Tennessee mines, has already made its way into your markets, and commands a ready preference over other varieties. It is charac terized by great 'combustibility and little re siduum. Your citizens need not be aftaid to use it. There is more of the same sort among these mountains, which centuries eannot ex haust. At Coal Creek we observed the process of coining conducted on an extensive seale. The interior of the mines is wisdy provided with communications with each other. Should any accident obstruct exit at tho main entrance, the miners can escape through the adjacent mines. Ten miles from Coal Creek, and forty miles from Knoxville, is our present and pleas ant place of sojourn. - Just before reaching this plaee, the road pierces Walden’s Ridge by a tunnel through an inexhaustible bed of the finest iron ore. And here, at tho new village, (named in honor of the late William Carey, of Jacksboro’, Tennessee, one of the most energetic and worthy citizens of the country) extensive mines of coal of the same quality as that at Coal Creek are developed. Wo formed the acquaintance of Mr. Kennedy, of the firm of Morrow and Kennedy, a com pany prepared to fill all orders which may be sent to them at Carey ville for coal, on the most reasonable terms., This company will carry on the business with more energy, if possible, in the summer than in the > winter season—well considering that the wise and wary will take care to provide themselves with abundant supplies of coal at that season, when the careless and the thriftless will neglect it, to find their supplies in the time of actual need delayed by insufficiency of transportation over some of the railways of lower East Ten nessee and Georgia. Bnt we weary of writing. Ink and paper are dull objects to gaze on when all nature, is redolent of loveliness. The dear, rushing mountain stream that manners audibly, and tho chirp of the free mountain birds in the rhododendron thickets that are interwoven above the flashing water, woo our thoughts to nature, and to the profound melancholy which Israel's wisest minstrel pronounced to. be the sum of all earthly things. The morning mist curls upward from the valley and floats along the mountain ride, revealing the gTeen pas tures, and fat herds, and young corn-fields which spread out before the eye like a riohly tinted mao for many miles to the north-east ward. We have found hereabouts, some handsome floral treasures, which would set a botanist’s soul ablaze. Let us mention the names of three: 1. That shy and rare Or chid, the mountain hermit which hides in shady recesses and shuns the vulgar stare of mankind, tho Gypripcdium acaulc. Its beau tiful nodding flower of delicate purple stands gracefully on our mantle, and bows its head m the hopelessness of captivity. 2. The ever green shrub, the Kalmia latifoHct x with its gay, calico-looking flowers, forming dense thickets on very many of these mountain pre cipices ; and 3d, That charming evergreen, tho Rhododendron maximum, the giant of the family, who interlaces hie branches above the waters of the mountain rills, and roofs them with his obovate-oblong leaves. His buds are already swellingin the genial warmth of tho May sun, and very soon his pink and rose- colored flowers Will light up the darkness of a thousand shady ravines among these “earlh- oergazing mountains.” The whole distance from Knoxville, Ten nessee, to the Kentucky border, along this line, is sixty-five miles. To this point we have stated the distance at forty miles—leav ing only twenty-five miles unfinished. Of this distance six miles have been graded, leaving only nineteen mile3 of the road untouched. The whole of this unfinished portion of the road passes through a mineral region unsur passed for its abundance of iron and coal. Onr information is not sufficiently definite as yet in regard to the distance of the road, completed, and yet incomplete from the Ken tucky border to Cincinnati, to enable us to speak. ” V; V ‘ tJj, The time is now eminently propitious for Cincinnati to pUBh forward her railway system directly to the South. The defeat of the Cin cinnati, bill in the Kentucky .Legislature, re cently, leaves that city (so far as State action in Kentucky is concerned) without the right of way across that Commonwealth. Cincin nati had, last fall, abandoned her original purpose cherished for thirty five years, of building a railway"direotly through Knoxville, Tenn., to the Southern Atlantic seaboard, and had been seduced into fixing upon Chat tanooga as the Southern terminus of her road.
