Into the scale where the heroes of '7G staked
life, fortune and sacred honor, more brilliant
earthly expectations than perhaps any one
beside him?
Mr. Shuck look occasion in the course of
his remarks on China, to advert to Catholi- i
cism in terms ill becoming a missionary. 11 is
remarks are scarcely worthy of any com
ment; for I set them down to the account of
the honest, unreflecting indignation of a dis
appointed spirit. No doubt Mr. Shuck met
with a determined rivalship in China from
the Jesuit missionaries. Zeal, charity and
courtesy are dangerous weapons in the hands !
of such men as the followers of Laycfla, and
possibly their successful operation in China,
despite the contending efforts of Mr. Shuck,
has raised a spirit of resentment imlhe breast j
<>f that meek and pious missionary, with
Which his natural good temper had no con
cern. We therefore, freely forgive the ex
cesses into which his zeal has led him.
Let the aspersers of Catholicism cease !
their uucharilableness. Let them be just
andlrne, and avow that the professors of that
ill-understood faith were the first to practice
what they only preach. Let them imitate |
the piety of a Catholic Bishop, who, when
thousands of the death defying suns of Erin
stood ready to avenge the unmanly cruelty,
whose blackened memorials make men weep |
for shame on the ground whore Warren fell I
—rose up and said to the Catholics of Bos- ;
ton,“Love those, who hate and calumniate
you.” If they are alarmed at the progress ;
of Catholicism in this country, let them excel
its votaries in works of usefulness and words j
o( love. This is the only way, in which
they will ever be able to impede its march
they can never stop it. The institutions of
that Church, 1 fondly hope, are destineded
to be immortal.
The wrath of man hath poured in vain
Its vialn on h -r jeweled head;
l‘or In! with time shall tie her reign,
And when his last day beam is shed
Eternal splendors there shall gem
Her Queenly brow’s bright diadem.

Resolved, Ist. That we, the Delegates of
the Democratic party, from the various coun
ties composing the 4ln Congressional District

mation of the Federal Government is the re
null of compact among the several States
composing the Union, conferring on said Go
vernment the right to exercise certain definite
powers in said compact mentioned, for pur
poses therein contained, and that the said
Government, in the exercise or use of any
power, not definitely conferred by said com
pact, acts beyond the scope of its authority,
and its acts are not only void, but oppressive,
on the rights of the people-
Resolved 2d. That in the administration of
the Federal Government, the representatives
*of the people of the several Slates composing
the Union, should be, and are in duly bound,
x of particu ur interests, to be go
verned by the plain meaning and intention of
be compact, and that to accomplish which,
there is but one sale rule of construction As

COL. F. H. ELMORE.
The Washington correspondent of the '
North American, says it is rumored at Wash, j
ingion and credited, that Col. F. 11. Elmore ;
of this State, will he appointed Secretary of j
State in place of Mr. Buchanan wiio is to be j
placed on the supreme bench.
At a large dinner in Philadelphia on the I
4th, the following toast was drank:
By William W. Bardin. Col. Elmore, of j
Soutii Carolina. Rumor names this diaiin- i
guished champion of Democracy in the South,
as the successor of Pennsylvania’s favorite
son in the Department of State. Such a
selection would be both creditable to the dis- !
crimination nf the President of the U. Stales, |
and gratifying to the Democracy of the j
nation.
The Crops. —The Columbus Enquirer, of ,
the loili says. “The growing Corn in |
ibis section promises an abundant crop.— j
Cotton generally lot ks extremely poor and !
badly grown considering that, in most cases, \
il has had from the first, fine grass pastures )
to run in. From all appearance, if the rains
continue, a few slacks of hay might be saved
this fall.”
The Sen Serpent was seed lately off Glou
cester, Mass., and some hands of a boat liar- !
pooned him, bul, like an eel on a hook, he
twisted himself off Mud disappeared.
o"The New Vork Stale Convention have
stricken out, by an almost unanimous vote,
the clause requiring “the Governor to be a j
native.”

TRIBUTE TU MERIT.
We take much pleasure in publishing the subjoin- i
etl letter from Col. (now HrigadierGeneral) Twiggs I
of the Army of Occupation. It is a voluntary tri- !
tmie to a brave ami gallant officer from a source j
which a soldier most appreciates—a tribute of |
praise from a commander. The recent promo- j
tion of Lieut. Rid gel yto a Captaincy hy brevet, [
with the additional functions of Assistant Adju
tant General, has given great satisfaction every
where; since all agree in the opinion that among
tlie many gallant officers who made brilliant their
I country’s glory and their own in the battles on the
Rio Grande, none displayed more true soldier-like
i qualifies or rendered in his sphere more efficient
i service than Capt. Ridgely.

To the Editors of the Baltimore American :
Sirs: — I was much gratified to read an article j
from your paper, which stated that the citizens of |
Baltimore contemplated the presentation of a j
■ sword to Lieutenant Randolph Ridgely, who com
manded Major Ringgold’s company of Flying Ar- |
tillery at “Rcsaca de la Palma” on the l Jih of May.
That company was a portion ofthe Right Wing of |
the Army on the Bth and Dili, which circumstance 1
brought the gallant conduct of Lieut. Ridgely tin- |
der my immediate observation. I avail myself of !
this occasion to assure yon that the citizens of Hal- j
timure could not reward a more meritorious or j
brave officer, and as his immediate commander, I ;
am happy in thus testifying to his worth.
1 am, Sirs, Very Respectfully,
Your ob’t servant.

medics in vain, I obtained a bottle of your Balsam:
1 took three botfies, and to my astonishment was
etrirely cured. I attribute my restoration to health
to that medicine alone. All who are sick or afflict

ANl> INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT JUBILEE.
The undersigned, believing that great good
niuy result to the planting interest of Geor
gia, Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee, from !
a personal interchange oflhe results of their
experience accompanied, (when convenient)
by an exhibition of the products of their
Farms and Plantations, suggest the propriety I
of those engaged in agricultural pursuits, ,
and such others as may feel an interest in
the subject, meeting at some central point,;
in the up-country, for that purpose. As the j
several Rail Roads in Georgia will be nearly ;
finished by the Ist of August, at least from 1
theOoslenaula to the Seaboard, they would j
suggest the Ist Friday of that mouth, as lire j
proper- time, and the Slone Mountain, in I
DeKalb, as the place most suitable for hold- |
ing the meeting. This point will unite the j
attractions of Nature with the facility of ac- i
cess, ample accommodations and good fare, ;
to a greater exenl than any other.
The connection of Georgia’s splendid sys
tern of Internal Improvements, will then be ;
nearly complete, a matter of sincere con
gratulation, and ail will have an opportunity
of witnessing its operations, and apprecia
i ting the incalculable benefits which it will
j confer upon the State at large, and Agricul
j lure in particular.

were received. Purchasers were unwilling to go <
on at the prices they were paying previously, and
holders refusing to make much concessions, the

1 CHARLESTON, JULY 18.— Cotton.— We re
-1 marked, in our report of tlie 11th inst., that the
j cotton market, towards the close of the week, had
I not only received a check, but that it had been
1 brought to a stand, in consequence of the limit
; e d demand for the article,.and tlie indis}>osilion
i evinced, generally, by holders to meet purchasers
; at the smallest sacrifice, who, for the little wanted,
; were demanding a concession, bused upon the re
i cent advices from the other side, brought out by
i the Britannia. Throughout Saturday last the mar-
I ket exhibited no new feature, but, when it opened j
| on Monday, several factors met buyers at reduced
limits, and, for several days, parcels were obtained
at an 4c. below the prices current at the opening of
j the previous w eek; for the last two days, however,"
hut more particularly yesterday, the market has
ajmost hem deserted, and it may be said to have
I closed very heavily at the decline noticed above,
and, under present circumstances* our quotations
must be considered nominal. The transactions of
j the week may be stated as follows, viz : Saturday
i 112 bales; Monday 224; Tuesday 451; Wednesday
470; Thursday 130 bales—making an aggregate of
1300 bales, against the receipt in the same Time of
1470 bales The sales are 4 hales at 64; 33 at 64;
: 155 at 7; 37 al 74; 116 at 74; 575 at 74; 17 at 74;
112at74; 200at74; and 15 hales at Bc. Since the
: foregoing remarks were written 195 bales have
| b e eh sold, 12 at 64; and 183 bales at 74c.
Rice —During the week some 700 or 800 tierces
have passed into second hands, at extremes from
24 to 34, according to quality; the bulk, however,
at prices ranging from 24 to §34 per hundred.
Grain —Tne Corn market continues abundant
ly supplied, with but a limited demand from se
cond bands. There ware received yesterday about
5300 bushels from North Carolina, of superior
quality, which were sold, as we have been inform
ed. in the neighborhood of 65c. per bushel.
Freights —Two vessels have within a few days
commenced loading for Liverpool, at 4d. for square
' bags and 7-16 -for" Sea Islands. We continue our
! former quotations to Havre, 4c. for square bags,
