Why tiose the Mores l About a week ago, wo published a commu nication from the pen of ft highly esteemed gentleman, in which ho urged the propriety of tlie chief merchants of our city agreeing among themselves to close their places of business during the summer months, at 5 o’cloik in the afterno n, iu order to allow their employees the privilege of social recreation. Now, why should the stores lie closed at tho hour proposed t Surely there are no trier chants iu all lire laud, who profess u deeper intorcht in the young men of the country, none who ixpress a greater willingness to serve and none who have served them In every way possible, than those of An gusla. Young men of good stauaing , those who guide their feet aright, anil prove them, ■elves worthy, seldom fail to receiva the sub stantial cheer and assistance of our business men. For them to adopt any course that will advantage their employees, while, at the same time, their own affairs are not compromised, nerd - . nly the conviction In their own minds that good will result from it. It was Jeremy Taylor, who said, “if you are for pleasure, marry—if you prisa rosy health, nnt ii iud even if money bo your object, unity.

We havo now to chronicle that tlie Southern Baptist Convention, assembled recently, at Russell ville, Ky.—on the 27th of May—took up the subject of the religious aud secular instruction of the negroes—including colored preachers— in the South. An elaborate report, devising (he ways and means for this, was submitted by a prominent Alabama delegate, the Rev. Dr. Tichnor, of Montgomery, which elicited some discussion, but it was *he unanimous, earnest opinion of the convention that the • former masters of the Blaves should undertake their e lucatioo for their now condition, with energy and resolution. The report was, therefore, ac cepted without opposition. We chronicle this with satisfaction, as an important step by a great body of Southern Christians—a step wisely calculated to stay the dread work of Extermination, which Manumission has already set at work with such fearful swiftne a.

The rise of water has not been equalled since 1849, when it was five or six feet higher than this year. Tbe plat ters are determined to replant their crops as soon as tlie earth is sufficiently dry. Many of them think that with a fair season they will still be able to make a reasonably fair crop, as many instances have occurred where good crops were made on the river when tho seed was put into the ground as late ae the month ot June.

Messrs . "Eaitare: Having had an opportunity of seeing a con idorable portion of this county recently. 1 will endeavor to give you an impartial account of the prospects for a crop. So far as I have seen there seems to be about two-thirds of the o.iginal cotton lands in cul tivation the present season. Owing to the scarcity of se ,and and the quality of them, a very poor stand is the general rule, the excep tioas are very rare—tho continued heavy raia= have very seriously injured the cotton and has so retarded the working of it that :.t toy planters have not yet gotten over with the fir-t chopping. The grars is piayiDg sad hav o with the cottoo. A number of planters i-UYe become almost disheartened and are of fering (o sell out very lotv. I have lately seen one who was reputed a No. 1 farmer, who ff irs six hundred acres in cotton —three hun : ted in com with the use of tho stock, tools, &c., and corn enough to feed on, for ten thou sand dollars. The same land has made three hundred bags of cotton. The general impression is that this county wi l not make more than one third of the amount of cotton that she raised in 1860 An insect, called cotton lice, sometimes very de structive, has lately made its appearance upon the cotton. The corn crop is generally looking very well, and if no protracted drought should occur this summer, an abundant yield may be expected. The wheat ctop of this county which hi3 ja-t been harvested, to ure a North Carolina phrase, is “mid fling, good only.’’ There is a very general complaint of the working ot the fresdmen, and as an evidence that the complaint is not without cause, the planters ard generally at least a month behind with their crops, this is owing in part, however, to an unusual wet spring 80 far as my knowl edge ext nds there havo been very few difficul ties between the whites nnd blacks, and those few h ve been of a trivial nature and promptly adjusted, generally to the entire satisfaction of both parties by tha gentlemanly agent of the Bureau, Coi. .1.

The circum stances are as follows : The geatleman’s son in-law, Dr. Wm. Crefille, who had been spending the day with him, as the evening ap proach-d, called tha negro man and told him to harness his horse. The freedman was quite law in executing the order, when Mr. By the undertook to rebuke his laziness. The negro became high’y offended aad cursed ana abused him considerably, whereupon Mr. Blythe -tapped the negro with a swatch once or twice, and ordered him to leave his premises. As >;.n as Mr. B turned to go into the home, the negro grasped a large stone and struck him upon the head, producing an ug(y and danger ous fracture of the skull.

IB'u.' iJ DKRE'S H PUBLIC. Bis Bcaui ig't— Hew Fe Reads aad How Be Looks. dickens’ readings. Amidst all this fashionable and time-killing foideroi, there is one entertainment which de serves more than a passing mention, and that is the readings, from his own works, with which Dickens isnighiiy feasting large and fashionable audiences. Borne months since the distinguish ed writer made an arrangement with the Messrs. Chappel, by which he agreed to read from his writings two evenings in each week for a certain number of months. For each night he was to receive fifty pounds sterling and his expenses. The plan has been attended with great success, and crowds have thronged the house whenever he appeared. Thousands have taken the opportunity of seeing face to face him who has been lor years one of their do mestic idols, and-thus testifying to the respect and popularity which he enjoys wherever his works are known. And where are his writings not known 1 Where are Pickwick and his club, Nicholas Nickieby and David Coppcrfield, Oliver Twist and Mr. Dombey, Mrs. Todgers and Sairey Gamp, “familiar in our mouths as household words I*’ Where are not the brothers Cheeryble and Sam Weller, Mr. Pecksniff and Mark Tapley, as near to us as those with whom we have grown up, and wnose characters and peculiarities are as well defined as those of our most intimate friends. They are ever with us by night and by day. They are all neighbors’ fare. They are a banquet for king and for peasant, for the rich and the poor, the learned and the ignorant, for all classes and conditions of society. They ever appeal to our better part of man, and link us in all the bonds of that corns mon humanity with which nature has endowed our race and made the whole world kin, and while doing the perfect work assigned to her from the beginning, and laying broad and deep the foundations, has planted in every heart a sympathy for the hopes and the fears, the joys and the sorrows, of even the humblest and poor est. What Cowper tersely wrote of the “natur- al brotherhood of min,” and Burns in the graphic and etirring lines set forth for our learn ing when he said, “the man’s the man for a’ that.” Dickens has portrayed in a thousand lorms for the delight of our age. Through him the life of the humble has acquired a fresh vitality. He has presented theqp as before iu a way that lew or none can resist. He has gone out into the highways and hedges, and com pelled them to come in. In their simple enjoy ments, the purity of the domestic life, their in nocent and untainted affections, their quaint and characteristic ways, the hidden manliness which the. world knoweth not, he has excited an interest that will never die: His works are the poetry of the poor, and form as noble a tribute to our humanity as our age has witness ed. It is thus that our perennial harvest ever springs up in the footsteps of genius. It is no wonder that he is popular, that he is “of all sorts enchantingly betoved,” that a divinity in our hearts more exhalted and exalting, more devoted and more manly loyal than that which “doth hedge a king,” involuntarily springs up and protects him round with thousands of grates ful hearts. DESCRIPTION OF DICKENS. The readings that Mr. Dickens has given in London, have all taken place at St. James’ Hall, Picadilly. Its situation is very critical,, and it has always been popular as a place of amusement, The principal room will accom modate about two thousand five hundred peo p'e, and every night hundreds have been turned away for want of seats. In order to allow of the attendance of all conditions in society, there are three prices of admission. Seats in the main body of the house cost five shillings, those in the balcony three, and the rest, principally in a higr: gallery and far off in the back-ground, are sold for two. In the rear of the stage is a large screen covered with crimson cloth. In front is a small reading stand, over which a tall frame work, about eight feet square, consisting of a gas pipe, hidden by a broad band of crim son. From this issue forth many small jets of light, which, ol course, shed a bright glow upon the speaker, and bring out his form and features in strong relief. Precisely at eight, Dickens makes his appearance, with white kids, a red rose in his button hole, and a jaunty little walk ing stick with an ivory handle. He is in full evening dress of black, and wears no jewelry but a ring and watch chain. He steps briskly forward swinging his cane, and at once taking his stand at the desk, without any preliminary introduction, quietly surveys his audience. Long and loud continued clapping announces his presence, but he does not begin. An Eng lish audience are never punctual, and by twos and threes they continue to pour in long after his a.rival. Dickens calmly waits until all is quiet. He is a man of gentlemanly and polish ed exterior, His head is quite bald, and he wears a moustache and whiskers. His hair is gray, and he has evidently long out grown the “Boz” of younger days. His expression is genial, and his manner confident, though un assuming. Though he has a slight stoop, yet his form is manly and of good proportions. There is but little expression of character in his face, and his cheeks are ruddy, as of one who loves good cheer. His ears are set very far back, which is generally regarded as a sign of great intellectual power. His forehead is high, and the labors of fifty-four years have not left a wrinkle upon it. Evidently his works have been done with ease and love, as the natural outspringing of a mind fuli of subjects that were dear to him, and causing' little mental anxiety. Altogether Dickens strikes one as a man who has spent a half century, not in the exhausting labors of literature, but in the enjoy ment of a life passed in the jovial, perhaps too jovial, society of good company and boon com- j panions, but has for years been “full warm of : blood, of mirth, of gossiping, nor met with for tune other'than at feasts.” DR. marigold. ’ It is full twenty minutes past eight before the voice of the reader strikes upon the ear, and all else is hushed. The part is Dr. Marigold, “the Cheap Jack,” and though the book is before him, the speaker never opens it, but trusts to his memory, which never fails him, to the end. As has often been illustrated by his own ap pearance in private theatricals, Dickens has a great degree of dramatic talent, and in his read ings it is used with admirable results. Though he has not much facial expression, though he has not that nervous sensitiveness which many great actors possess, and which makes Mr. Home, the spiritualist, so effective as a reader, yet he has other qualities that render his de livery very impressive. He has a good voice and an animated expression. His hands are used freely and with excellent effect. He is never entirely forgetful of his audience or lost in his part, and yet he shows throughout that nice appreciation of each character which every au thor might be expected to posses for the child ren of his braih. His air, his gestures and his voice; in short, clearly express his sympathy with the more delicate lights and shadows of the parts he impersonates, and give his audience a deeper insight into the inner life of those whom they thought they knew so well before. The story of Dr. Marigold he read with a mingled humor, pathos, and naivete that I never sup posed it capable of. This tollowed by THE TRIAL SCENE. From the Pickwick Papers ] And here the abilities of the reader secured a great, though an oft repeated triumph. As an actor, he showed more varied talent and strong er contrasts than before. It was really a feast fit for the gods to hear his renderings of the performers in that world renowned litigation. I will venture to say that never before did his hearers have such a vivid presentation of any one of them. Sam. Weller, the Mercutio of the Pickwick Papers; Mr. Justice Starleigh, that bloated squad of judicial imbecility, the Pickwick of the bench; Mr. Sergeant Btrzfuz, with his legal flummery and bunkum talk to the jury ; Mrs. Cluppins and her loquacious twaddle on the stand—all these were in turn set before us, each “in his habit as he lived,” and as he or she.originally doubtless appeared to the mind of their author. Great was the enjoyment of the audience, and loud their applause, as fea ture by feature these characters were unfolded and lit up with tints unseen before. It was to some of us like meeting with old friends at the place of their birth, after years of separation We could only be thankful that such an oppor tunity for mental delight and improvement had been granted us, though in the minds of some it was tainted by the thought that the whole operation was a mercenary one from beginning to end ; that it was a mere mercantile specula tion on the part of ail concerned ; that Dickens wished to make as much as he could out ot the Messrs. Chappell, and that the latter would be glad to “coin the former’s brain for drachmas,” if they could make it pay. But in this age all authors are given to money making; “tig but to clip his locks they follow now the golden haired Appollo as the innkeeper remarked to Don Quixote, “money and clean shirts are very essential to success in life.” Terpsichore dances and Polyhymnia sings for a guinea a night, and “now lies the earth all Dans to the star*” (oper atic and other) that nightly and daily illumine the -great world of London. Let us then per sistently shut out the golden mean, take the goods tne gods provide, and thu* shall we bene fit in the grand finale, TELEGRAPHIC. fife! ViJSIUNGIOX.

Tiiere is no doubt of its passage by the required two-thirds vote. The Commissioner cf_ Internal revenue de cides that interest and dividends derived from stocks are regarded as income, derived from “fixed Investments,” without reference to time, during which these Stocks are held. But when gains derived from sale of stocks involve interest, received or accrued euch gains may be regarded as derived from business alone. The value of property used in business less the amount of insurance may be deducted when lost from gains and profit of business. Washington, June 9, Senator Poland, to whom was referred the Bankrupt bill which recently passed the House, wil! probably make a favorable report to the Judiciary Committee next week, but there is very little prospect of the passage of the bill this session, as it will load to more discussion than there is time for the Senate to indulge in" Richmond, June 7.

The Judge warned them from revealing the pro ceedings of the body, and said the names of parties indicted could not be made public until their apprehension.

Gen, Spear immediately commenced intrenching. The [morale of tho army is very bad, Desertions are the rule, while companies are making tracks for the nearest home trans portation office, and in some instances regi ments desert as an organization. Drunken ness prevails to an alarming extent. Fenian Council ol' War Decide to Order their Troops Home. New York, June 9.

The Commercial’s money article says the stock market is quiet but firm, the speculative interest being confined to New York Central, Erie, ‘Reading and Northwestern. The latter stock is being manipulated by a strong clique. At the Board the price rose 1$ on the common stock, closing at 31J, and 61$ for preferred. New York Central is firmer, under the pur chase of shorts. After the Board, £ per cent was paid on borrowed stock. The stock is very largely oversold, but it is supposed that the party most largely short has covered a large portion of his contracts. The miscellaneous list continues du'l. Government securities are quiet but steady; 5 20s are a fraction better on the foreign news. The issue of 1862 sold at 102} at the board, and after the board 102} was bid. Private dispatches report 5-20s at the close of Saturday at 655, Erie 42$ and Illinois Central 765: and also state that no further failure had occurred, this intelligence is accepted hero as indicating that affairs had touched their lowest point of depression, and that a steady recovery may be anticipated henceforward. The etfsc* of the news has been unfavorable to the buils in gold. Soon aitor opening the gold room tiie prices jumped up to 145|, but fell under the Africa’s intelligence to 144 The total amount of specio shipments from here and Boston to-day was $3,075,000. There is rather more demand for money from the street, but the supply seeking borrowers is large, and call loans arc made chiefly at 5 per cent, with exceptions at 6 par cent; discount continues moderately active. Commercial paper regarded as a good in vestment at 6*7 per cent, and is taken at those rates freely, in preference to landing on call at 5 per cent. Foreign exchange is nominal, and the indications are uncertain as to the demand for sight Dills for next steamer, but thus far there appears to be more inquiry for sixty days bills. At the 4 o’clock Board the following were the transactions: Cumberland 46, Specio 44J-, Mariposa 24.1, New York Central 98$, Erie 68 \ Reading 109}-.

Charleston, J une 8, Cotton —The continued unsettled and disas trous condition of European affairs places cot ton sellers at a disadvantage, and has, during the past week, confined the transactions to the most limited re fie, and on some days the mar ket was either at a stand or the sales were so small as hardlv to be worthy of a report.— Prircs have also b—u very irregular and unset tled, and it is almost impossible to give quo tations that will apply to the market general ly. Matters are likely to remain in this unsat isfactory condition until Europe settles down upon a policy either of peace or war; the pies* ent uncertainty keeps everything deranged causing the preseut heavy fluctuation in the value of gold, and rendering nil mercantile calculations uncertain. On Friday last the Ist iustaat, some snles, amounting to thirty bales, occurred, the higher qualities of the staple selling for 35a36 cents per lb. The market was completely at a stand n Saturday not a bale being sold. Some sixty bales Wt rg disposed of on Monday. Oidiuaty’fo Low Mid dling selling at. 27a29c per lb.

Yesterday the market was firm, aud some fifty bales changed bands ou the basis ot 32 cents per ib, for a id dliug Cot'os, prices still continuing unsettled and irregular.
