[From the Charleston Standard.]
Battle of King’s Mountain.
Charleston had fallen into the hands of the
enemy, Gen. Gates had been defeated at Cam
den, Tarlton had surprised and scattered the
force? of Sumter, wnich though rallied again had
not effectually renewed their inroads. The
State oi South Carolina was, in fact overrun and
garrisoned by the enemy, arid the British com
mander was now free to commence his march
up in North Carolina. But preparatory to this
Major Ferguson had been detached to pursue and 1
scatter the small bands o( whigs, and to collect
and marshal the tori-sin the western part of
the btate. Clarke had retreated before him, and
Williams and Shelby, though victorious over
Jurvis, at Musgrove’s Mill, had nevertheless, re
tired before the superior force of Furguson He
had advanced through this State, to Gilbert
town, near the present Ruther(orJton, North
Carolina. In his progress he had added nearly
two thousand tories to his regular iorce, and
numbers more were daily flocking to his stand
ard. Soon, it unchecked, and permitted to unite
his command with that of the main army at
Charlotte, he would secure its superiority to any
which the whigs could oppose to it. Just at this
momentous juncture it was, that Williams, Shel
by and Sevier combined to cut him off in the
mounntains. The first of these had returned to
South Carolina, and with 450 horsemen, had fal
len upon Furguson’s rear. The other had just
received an insolent message which Furguson
sent him by Samuel Philipe. a paroled prisoner,
to the effect that if they did not cease their op
position, he would march over, burn and lay
waste their country, and hang them. This
message was more than they were inclined to
take quietly; immediately they rallied their
border men—and being without means for their
equipment, Sevier applied to John Adair, the
entry taker of North Carolina, for the land mo
ney of the State. The latter promptly and no
bly replied thus: “The money belongs to the
impoverished treasury of the State, and I dare
not appropriate one cent of it. But i! the coun
try is overcome by the British, liberty is gone ;
let the money go too—take it.” With that mo
ney, the ammunition and all other necessaries
were provided. Sevier and Shelby having invi
ted and received the co-operation of Col. Mc-
Donald of Rutherford, Col. Cleveland of Wilkes,
and Col. Campbell of Washington County, Vir
ginia, they met with their forces, amounting in
all to one thousand three hundred and ninety
men, at Watauga, on the 30th September, 1780.
Neither of them was entitled to the command.
Col. McDonald therefore voluntered to go to
head quarters for an officer—during his absence,
the command of his force fell upon Maj McDow
ell, and Col. Campbell, by courtesy, was consid
ed the chief commander. Meanwhile, Fergu
son had become alarmed. His force then
amounted to over two thousand, but rumor
which reached him had greatly magnified the
force of the mountaineers, and he believed, so he
wrote to Cornwallis, that Sumter and Clark had
joined them. No wonder therefore, that he im
mediately dispatched Abraham Collins, of coun
terleit memory, ani Quinn to Cornwallis
lor aid. and at the same commenced his retreat
towards Charlotte. But both he and his mes
sengers were pursued. The former thereby be
ing compelled to travel only at night, did not
reach Charlotte until the day of the battle; and
the latter having made his way safely to King's
mountain, posted himself there, awaiting the ex
pected reinforcements.
The pursuers being joined by four hundred
and fifty horsemen under Williams, Brandon,
Hill, Lacy, and Roebuck, of South Carolina, and
by sixty men from Lincoln county, under Col.
Humbnght and Maj. Chronicle, and finding the
retreat of Ferguson too rapid for the pursuit ot
their foot soldiers, determined to leave behind
their foot soldiers and weak horses, and to press
the pursuit with nine hundred and ten horsemen,
chosen from the whole. Some of the foot sol
diers, unwilling to remain behind, effected an
exchange ot plaees with some of the less ardent
horsemen. Ot the former, Capt. Lenoir, after
wards Gen. Lenoir, el North Carolina, volun
teered as a private, and with six of his own
company, went into the ranks of the horsemeo.
The pursuit was resumed on the evening of
the 6th of October. The men rode all that night,
and through the rain of the next day, until 3
o’clock, p. m., at which time, without restand
without retrestnnent since morning, they com
menced the engagement. Ferguson was posted
on the summit ot the mountain, which here runs
southwest, to the right ot the road leading north
of ihe mountain lrom ttie Cherokee Ford towards
Charlotte. The pursuers having come from Cow
pens by the way of the Ford, approached him
by this road. At the proper time, according to
previous arrangement, the forces led by Col.
Sevier and Maj Wmston, filed to the right, those
of Clevland, Humbright and Williams to the left,
with Colonel’s Campbell and Shelby in the cen
tre. Thus formed they encircled the Mountain,
and advanced within a quarter of a mile of the
enemy before they were discovered. The forces
neai the centre, under Shelby and Maj McDow
ell, were the first fired upon, and breaki g off
towards the enemy, thro’ the nearest gap, they
commenced the attack. The rest of the centre
column under Col. Campbell, ascended more
steadily but soon joining the others, their deadly
fire at once attracted the attention ot Ferguson,
and upon them he made his first charge with the
bayonet, belore which Shelby and Cambell re
treated down the mountain. But. by this time
the left wing under Clevland, Williams and
Humbright, and Maj. Chronicle, which had as
cended the north west side of the mountain be
gan to pour in their fire, which compelled Fer
guson to recall his regulars lrom the onset upon
Shelby and Campbell, and to attack Williams
Then Shelby and Campbell advanced again, and
so between the fires of the centre and the left
wing, the British regulars continued to charge
upon them alternately, until the right wing un
der Sevier and Winston, which had ascended on
the south east, completed the circle by meeting
the line of Cleveland and Williams. Thus the
British and tories were completely driven in and
surrounded. The ti;e upon them was constant,
and the aim deadly; “the whole mountain seem
ed to smoke and thunder ; J? the circle of the
enemy last became less and Jess; but the brave
Ferguson stilt fought on, resolved to be cut to
pieces rather than surrender; the tories raised a
flag, but he immediately pulled it down ; they
raised another, and he cut it down with his
sword. Finally, in a desperate charge upon Col.
Williams, in which it is supposed he intended to
break through the lines, Ferguson was killed,
and immediately thereafter Dupelster the second
in command, surrendered.
The battie lasted one hour and a few minutes.
The loss of the British and tories was two hun
dred and twenty-five killed, and eight hundred
and eighty-three wounded and prisoners. Their
whole force is variously estimated. At Gilber
towu, it numbered over two thousand, but many
of the tories who were permitted to visit their
families, had been terrified by the approach of
the mountaineers, and tailed to rejoin Ferguson
in his retreat. Gen. Lenoir, who was in the
battle, says that none oi the British or tories
escaped. But Tarleten asserted that he picked
up some of the fugitives after the battle, and
Gordon declares that about 440 made their es
cape. If the latter be correct, it fixes the British
force at near 1600 men, not quite double that of
the Whigs. Their advantage ot position, too, I
was such, that Furgson himself considered his
post impregnable, and Gen. Bernard, an officer of
Napoleon, and afterwards of the United States
Engineer service, has said that “this battie ground
is an eternal monument to the military genius 1
and skill of Maj. Ferguson, for that no other j
plan of assault than that adopted by the moun
tain men, could have succeeded against him.”
The loss of the whi-s was thirty killed and
sixty wounded, among the former was Col Wil- j
liams and Major Chronicle. “Their victory,” j
says Jefferson, was the joyful enunciation of that
turn in tne tide of success that terminated the I
Revolutionary war witn the seal of cur Inde
pendence.” It certainly terminated the first
campaign of Cornwallis into North Carolina.
He commenced his ret.ograde movement from
Charlotte immediately after receiving the news
of the battle, and that so hastily, that as Tarle- J
ton says: “From the badness of the road, the ;
darkness of the night, the ignorance ot the guides,
0r some other unknown cause, the British rear
guard destroyed or left behind" twentv wagons
loaded with the supplies of the army.” If he
i chosen to inquire into this unknown cause,
he might have learned that the victory at King’s
mountain had roused anew, the inhabitants of
the Hornet’s Nest,” who all along had been
troub.esome customers, and who were now
swarming out two freely for the foragers of the
enemy.
It was scarcely prudent under such circum
stances for the rear guard of the retreat to risk
themselves too far from the main army, especially
with such a guide as the Reverend Mr. McCat
ierty, whose patriotism was as zealous as his
j preaching. But whatever may have caused the
j loss of their wagons which Col. Tarleton regret
! ed so much, it is eeitain that this victory, so
complete, which brought about the sudden re
treat, dispirited the tories and gave numbers and
fresh courage to the whigs, was the “turn of the
tide” in our revolution.
[ Correspondent e of the Baltimore Sim.]
Washington, Oct. 11.
Attorney Gen. Cushing has, with his usual
promptness and ability, given his opinion, at the
call of the President, upon the novel case pre
sented by the application of the British Minis
j ter, lor the re-arrest of William Colder, who was
demanded by the British government, under the
j extradition treaty, upon the charge of forgery.
Colder was, it seems, brought before Judge Ed
i monds, in the city of New York, and, upon ex
amination ot the testimony against him, it was
not sufficient to justify his delivery.
An application was made to the court for the
detention ot Colder until further testimony
could be adduced in support of the charge against
' him, and Judge Edmonds decided that he had
no power for this purpose. The same applica
| tion was made to the President,and the opinion
of the Attorney General is that the President
> nas no power under the treaty or the law to
: interfere, but that the British government can
I re-commence the procedure against Colder, with
| new and additional testimony. It seems, how
| ever, that Colder will, meanwhile, remain free
from custody, and if guilty, he will not await
the result of the new process against him.
We have gone far enough in the extradition
treaty, and it would appear to be unwise so to
alter the treaty or the law as to hold a British
subject to arrest upon the mere suggestion that
criminality may be proved against him. But
the subject will, no doubt, become a diplomatic
consideration, with a view to the remedy of any
delects in the existing extradition treaty.
I learn that Col. Davis, Secretary of War, has
addressed a letter to the editor of the Wash
ington Sentinel, in reference to the Shell
war. the policy of the administration in regard
to appointments, the recognition of all the ad
herents of the Baltimore platform, &c. Mr.
Cobb, it is said, stands on the same ground, and
Gen. Cass and Mr. Benton are also claimed as
advocates of the same policy.
The Secretary of the Treasury has been able
to call in and extinguish about seven millions
of the public debt, since the 4th of March last.
If money continues to be as dear as it is now
said to be both here and abroad, the Secretary
will have no difficulty in disposing of a large
portion of the surplus revenue. lon.

Arrival of the United States—Later from
Havana.
The steamship United States, Capt. J. D. Lu
cas, from New York, via Havana, arrived at 2
P. M. yesterday. She left New York on the
30th ult., at 2P. M. During the first two da 1 s
of her passage out she experienced very heavy
weather. She arrived at Havana at noon on
the 6th inst., and left the next evening at 6
o’clock .
By the United States we receive intelligence
and papers from Havana to the evening of the
7th inst.
A Correspondent of the Diario de la Marina,
writing from Matanzas on the 2d inst., states
that from the beginning of the previous month
j the cholera had been making sad ravages in that
place and its vicinity, increasing in virulence
and fatality from day to day, till within the last
few days, when a favorable change had been
observed, and it was hoped the epidemic would
cease. No account ot the mortality caused is
given. The north wind had commenced to blow
on the evening of the Ist, and some rain had
also fallen. It was hoped these meteorological
changes would improve the sanitary state of the
atmosphere. I
At Nuevitas, on the 22d, a storm of wind car
ried away the roofs ot some houses and upset a
boat in the harbor ; but fortunately no lives were
lost.
At. St. Jago de Cuba, on the same day, while,
as is believed in a state of mental aberration, D.
Joaquin del Risco cut his wife’s throat and after
wards slew himself in a similar manner. No
cause could be ascertained for the acts.
The Diaria de la Marina quotes from the
Hola, ot Sagua la Grande, a statement that the
health of that place remained remarkably good,
billowed by a prayer that as it had been°pre
served from the terrible scourge that had ravaged
nearly all the adjacent districts, it might be pro
tected from the fatal plague that was venting its
fury in various points about the island.
The returns of the charity hospitals in Ha
vana, at the latest accounts, still continue the
very small rates of mortality of less than 2 per
cent. But we perceive from returns for last
month that the mortality exceed 12 per cent.
Returns from St. Jago de Cuba show that du
ring the months of June, July and August, there
were 308 baptisms, and only 256 deatns.
A soldier name Francisco Sender was execu
ted at St: Jago de Cuba, for having assaulted and
wounded a sergeant on the 25th of July last.
On the 22d ult., a hurricane of brief duration
was experienced in Remedios, by which houses
and trees were damaged; and at about half past
5, P. M., on the same day, the Spanish brigan
tine Nervion was struck by lightning and very
much shattered. One man was killed, and se
veral were knocked down and stunned.
A bridge over the Yahu, near Sagua la Grande,
had just been completed, much to the satisfac
-1 tion of travelers who had occasion to cross that
dangerous river. The inhabitants are now pro
mising themselves a railway.

East about thirty-four miles. Capt. Rice went
to her in his boat, and found the larboard quar*
ter out of water to the main chains, the boat at
tached to the vessel by a rope and full of water
had apparently been cut loose quickly. He cut
the boat adrift and took her along side the Cata
ract, when he discovered in her, covered by the
water, the body of a man about eighteen years
of age, dark hair and sandy whiskers, supposed
to be the steward. He was buried shortly af
terwards as decently as possible. While Capt.
Rice was on board the North Western he made a
hole into the cabin, but could discover no person
there. The North Wester was no doubt loaded
with naval stores, from Wilmington, N. C.,
bound North, and was, it is presumed, suddenly
capsized at night, most of her canvass having
the appearance of having been set when she
turned over. Capt. Rice has brought on, we
understand, her yawl, some rigging, and a few
other articles.— Ch. Cour. 15 th.
Discounts oi Imported Merchandize.—
The Secretary of Treasury has directed collectors
of the customs, auu ethers, that in all future ca- j
ses, the discount noted on the face of the invoice
may be taken and considered in determining the
cost of imported merchandize, goods or wares
provided the owner, consignee, importer, or ,
agent, as the case may be, before being admitted I
to entry, shall declare under oath or affirmation,
that the invoice contains no discounts, bounties,
or drawbacks but such as have been actually al
lowed to the owner or owners of such goods, in
the payment for the same. It is, however, ex
pressly understood that this is not to prevent the
appraiser from exercising any part of the au
thority vested in him by law, in ascertaining,
estimating and appraising the true market val
ue of the merchandize and the dutiable value of
the same : in the performance of which duty it
must be observed no discount can be allowed
that will reduce the goods below the market
value, and that no regard can be had to discounts
depending upon conditions to be performed by
the consignee on the arrival of the merchan
dize.

lo give a still wider circulation to the already
large and wide spread circulation of this paper,
the Proprietor offers the Daily at $6,00, and the
Tri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and
to all the present subscribers who pay up ar

The increased facilities by mail lor Daily and
Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every
direction, by the various Railroad lines leading
to this city, encourages the proprietor to make
this appeal for increased patronage. It is only
by a greatlf increased subscription list, he can
expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni

him. He confidently relies upon the friends of
the paper to sustain this movement by their in

gence commercial, political and miscellaneous,
will be conceded.
The value of a commercial, political, and news
Journal, properly conducted here, to those who
have facilities for receiving it daily or tri

See first page Daily, this morning.
The Fair !
The Annual Fair of the Southern Central Ag
ricultural Society commences in this city to
morrow morning. The first day will be devo
ted to the reception of articles, and their ar
rangements in proper departments. On Tues
j day the Fair will be opened to the public. We
paid a visit to the grounds yesterday. All was
bustle. Every one seemed to be working on
his own hook, in the endeavor "to display bis
offering to the best advantage. Already our
city is fast filling up with strangers, and by
Monday evening we think quite an addition
! will be made to our population. In our next we
! hope to be able to give a list of the principal ar
j tides offered for inspection.
The Campbell Minstrels.
Our citizens will bear in mind that this tal
ented company give their first performances on
! Monday evening, at the Augusta Hotel Hall.
Spring Garden Institute.
We invite the attention of those having daugh
ters to educate, to the Card of Mr. Gilbert Combs’
j President of the above Institute. He is a gen
tleman highly spoken of by those who know
him, and pronounced well adapted for hi 3 res
ponsible position. His references in Georgia
are such as to afford the assurance that the pub
lic are in.no danger of being mislead as to the
character of his Institute. His list of assistants
indicate that every facility is furnished for a
complete education.
Theatre.
This most intellectual and varied of all amuse
ments, is now in the full tide of success ; the au
diences increasing nightly ; and performers elicit
ing unqualified approbation.
The representation of the standard plays of the
\\ ife, and Stranger, gave ample scope for the
display of Mr. and Mrs. Crisp’s talents, and in
each they acquitted themselves with admirable
effect. The applause at certain passages, and
the solemn silence during others, is the public’s
testimony as to how deeply their feelings were
excited, and certainly the highest compliment
which can be rendered these distinguished ar
tists.
Mr. Crisp is fortunate in securing a number
of ladies blending beauty with talents. Miss
Dickens, Miss Jessaline, and Miss Macgregor
are highly favored by nature, and already have
each their individual, as well as collective ad
mirers.
To our ever welcome actor, Mr. Fuller, the
Manager has added another son of momns, Little
Buxton. These Comedians, not at all similar,and
each excellent in his department, keep the au
dience in convulsive laughter.
We have only time to add, the entertainments
are most effective in representation—excellent
ly conducted, and nightly thronged by the re
fined of our city.
We say to all visitors, attend and you will be
amply gratified and repaid,
We see the Manager has converted the Gal- j
lery of Concert Hall into Boxes, to be reserved
exclusively lor ladies, and gentleman attending
them. This a good arrangement, and will give 1
general satisfaction.
Southern Literary Messenger.
We had the pleasure yesterday of an intro
duction to Mr. McFarlane,one of the proprietors
of this Southern publication, who is now stop
ping at the United States Hotel. His object in
visiting this city is to extend the circulation of
the Messenger, and we wish him every success,
for it is one of the oldest and most able monthlies
conducted in the South. The Messenger should
have a wide circulation South, and we hope our
citizens will extend towards it a fostering hand.
1 hose disposed to subscribe, can do so by calling
on Mr. McF. at the United States Hotel, or by

Pittsburg, declines the appointment. Dr. Cos
kery, appointed to the new See of Portland,
Maine, likewise declines.
‘‘ Leavitt’s House,” a magificent mansion
situated on Brooklyn Heights, was sold on Fri
day last to Mr. Bowen (one of the firm of Bow
en & McNamee, of New York.) for the sum of
$52,000.
Jhnkins Light-wood.— The Rome Southern
er, says:—“ Some of the whigs of this place, in
anticipation of the election of Mr. Jenkins, pur
chased a large load of light-wood, two or three
days previaus to the election, in order to have
a grand torch-light procession upon the announce
ment of the success of their candidate. So
sanguine were they, that their purchase of the

fir, nearly all the visitors have been strangers.
The stock is selling at 55, or 45 below par.
Before the opening it was up as high as 170.
The California Popular Vote will this year

; es, and Mr. Williamson’s sixty-one. Mr. Lewis’s
j shots averaged only 1 and 1| inches from the
centre point, and Mr. Williamson’s 3 inches.
Mr. Williamson was considered the best marks
man ie the State prior to shooting with Mr.
I Lewis. But few bets were made before the
shooting commenced, but after Mr. Lewis’s
fourth shot, offers of five to one were made on
him, but none taken. Mr. Lewis has won sev
eral “matches” within the last three years,
amounting in all to over SI,OOO. Mr. William
son used a rifle made in New Haven Ct., and
Mr. Lewis one of his own manufacture. Alto
gether, the shooting was considered the best ever
done in those parts. Six hundred and sixty feet
is a long shot.
The U. S. Steamer Alleghany a Failure.
On Saturday morning the U. S. steamship Al
leghany returned to the naval anchorage at Nor
folk, after an absence of three days and a half
on a trial, during which, it is alledged, she proved
a complete and an absolute failure. The Nor
folk Argus says:
At no time, under the most favorable circum
stances of wind and tide, with the application of
both steam and sails, could her speed be increas- !
ed to a 'aster rate thau six miles an hour. Her }
machinery worked wretchedly, and since the ;
trial, is in a most shattered condition. AllTburs- i
day she was anchored in Lynhaven Bay to enable
her engineers to tinker-it up. Friday she again
got under way, and after stewing and fuming, i
and making sundry desperate efforts, she rnan- |
aged to get twenty-five miles east of Cape Hen- 1
ry. At this point, Commander Lynch, becoming
disgusted with her motion, and concluding that
it might not be either prudent or comfortable to
be drifting too far from sbore, very wisely turn
ed about in search of a secure harbor. She an
chored at the Horse Shoe, off Old Point, Friday
night, and on Saturday took four hours in smooth
water to return to cur port, a distance of twenty
miles.
The Portsmouth Globe says no blame can be
attached to the workmanship of the engines, the
remote cause of her failure being in the insuffi
cv of the hull.

To the Members composing the next Legis
lature.
Mr. Editor I desire a small space in your
valuable paper to suggest to the members just
elected to the Legislature, the propriety of ma
king an alteration in the Judiciary system of
the State, so far as relates to the Inferior Courts
of the several counties, by enacting a law to
have but one Judge or Justice, and allowing
him a small compensation, sufficient however,
to ensure the services of a competent Judge.—
This alteration has been often suggested of late
in my presence, and 1 have no doubt but what it
is generally desired over the State. Let it be
kept free from party politics. Let the press
generally in the State give a small share of at
tention to the matter, and the change will be
adapted. When a lawyer is elected to the office,
let him practice in other Courts, and by that
means you can secure the services of a compe
tent member of the bar for ale-s compensation
than you could if he was prohibited from prac
tice in the Superior and Courts of Ordinary.

Protestant Episcopal Contention. —Fifth
Day. —Alter the usual religious opening servi
ces, the Rev. Dr. Meade, of Conn., from the
committee on canons, to whom was assigned
the duty of conferring with the special commit
tee of the House of Bishops, on the “ Abandon
ment of a diocese by a bishop,” reported a canon
to the effect that in case a bishop, presbyter or
deacon abandons the communion of the church,
he shall be held as ipso facto deposed; and shall
be so pronounced by the standing committee, in
case of presbyter or deacon, or by the presiding
bishop, if a bishop, three month’s notice to be
given.
Rev. Dr. Vinton, to whom it was referred the
subject of so altering Art. 11. of the constitution
as to make only communicants eligible to seats
in this convention, reported a resolution in favor
of so altering that article that the church in each
diocese shall be represented by not more than
four clergymen and four laymen, who shall be
communicants. Recommitted.
Mr. Tomes of Tennessee, prepared a canon to
the effect that no other prayer be used, by' any
minister of this church, in public services, than
those in the Book of Common Prayer ; providing
that the Bishop may set forth forms of prayer,
for particular occasions, taking them, however,
from the prayer book exclusively. Referred.
The Rev. Dr. Gregory proposed a cannon re
pealing the filth canon of 1830 relating to re
nunciations of the ministry.
The Rev. Dr. Mason, of Md , proposed the
appointment of a joint committee, (of seven on
the part of this House,) to take such measures
as will foster harmony, and conciliar union be
tween this church and that of Gieat Britain and
her dependencies. This led to a debate, and a
motion to strike out all in relation to " conciliar
union,” which amendment Dr. Mason accepted.
The resolution as amended was adopted. Ad
journed.
At night the Board of Missions of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church met, and was addressed
by Bishop Boone, a missionary to China, aud by
Mr. Tong, one of his pupils, who is now a can
didate for holy orders. Rev. Mr Sayie, a mis
sionary from China, and others also spoke.
Sixth Day —The committee on canons,
through the Rev. Dr. Mason, of Md., made a
report in favor of signing the testimonials of the
Bishop elect (Rev. Dr. Atkinson,) of North Caro
lina. The report stated that the diocese is vacant
in consequence of the late Bishop abandoning
and apostatizing from the church.
Mr Duncan, of La., from the committee on
canons, offered a minority report, concluding
with a series of resolutions to the general effect
that under the existing legislation of this Church,
a vacancy in the jurisdiction of any diocese can
only be created by death, resignation canonically
made and accepted, or by deposition, and decla
ring that Dr. Atkinson’s testimonials ought to be
denied.
The House not being full the reports were
withdrawn lor the present.
The committee on canons to whom was refer
red the proposed amendments to the canons on
the use of the common prayer reported in favor
of the said amendments.
The same committee reported a canon to se
cure a more full return of the statistics of the
parishes composing the diocese.
The amended canon that the church in each
diocese shall be entitled to a representation of
both the clergy and the laity, which representa
tion shall consist of not more than four clergy
men and four laymen, who shall be communi
cants, was passed and sent up to the House of
Bishops for concurrence.
The Rev. Dr. Meade, of Connecticut, from the
committee on canons, reported in favor of amend
ing Article V. of the constitution of the church,
by striking out the third clause, which prevents
the erection of new dioceses containing less than
8,000 square miles, and 30 Presbyters, qualified
to vote for a Bishop. This was passed unani
mously.

The Weather.— Contrary to the old saw
concerning wet weather in court week, we are
in the midst of clouds of dust, with a clear sky

hither and thither along our busy streets, for
exquisite of our climate. —Dalton Times, 13 th inst ,
