".Ike Crops "Weather. j Every body is speaking mournfully of the poor prospect of the crops in North Carolina. The wheat crop was generally ordinary and now every body is anticipa ting short crops of corn. The complaint is general ; nor is it confined to North Carolina. In other States it is quite as bad, if not worse. But is there not a cause ? Have we de served any bettt r nay, have we not deser ved a thousand fold worse ? God is good, and all his works are done in righteous ness ; therefore the language of complaint should not be heard. But, how much bet ter is it with us than it might have been. ! .Some speak complainingly, that there will not be half a crop. Now, we venture the assertion, small as the crop is, there will be enough and to spare. Let us learn to live more frugall". Lay aside unnecessa ry expenditures. Serve God faithfully, cheerfully and courageously, and there will be an abundance. , The recent rains already enliven the prospect, aud we incline to the belief that the case will be better than was anticipa ted. But what if want come ? Shall we throw away our .confidence and complain ? God forbid. . Raleigh. Female Seminary. The exercises of this excellent institu tion were resumed on Wednesday last, un der the charge of Bev. Mr. Christian, as sisted by competent instructors.

Many of te clerg-y arid laity of the regal ir IJapts:-.t . Churches opposed with great vigor the en- ; terorise. but a number of the leading men . of the derjouiination were the prime mo-: vers and promoters of the feeheine. The ' late Eev. Ir.

A constitution was formed, and pi udential regulations adapted, which if properly adhered to might havt; resulted successfully m the aecoiripli.-dmitrit of the new translation. L'ut as to its ultimate results, we never anticipated any thing but disaster and mortn:eatJon to us menu and supporters. Its foundation was unsound, originating in a false view of responsibility, and reared by a narrow, purblind bigotry ari l self-conceit which we believed must defeat and destroy the scheme.

Not only has the sacred text been altered, but there are instances of the most glaring additions, omissions, etc. In all cases we believe the word baptize has been translated immerse, and there are other evidences of a purpose to change, alter and amend, (7) so as to make a new Book, if not a new Bible. The instances given by Dr. 3Iaclay show clear ly the hand of an interpolator more than a translator. A bold unitarianism we think covertly shows its head, as well as a set purpose to plunge all the disciples head and ears into Jordan. The managers have published a card, begging the public to suspend its judgment until the' can reply to Dr. Maclay. They deny the charges, but the long high standing of Dr. Maclay, gives his statements a force which it will be hard to resist or overcome. To this Dr. 3Iaclay has replied, re-affirming his charges. In England, where a scheme for revision has been on foot for some time, we learn, that it has been abandoned by all orthodox Christians, and is turned over entirely into the hands of the Unitarians. They are certainly in wp it of a new Bible. King James' version is too stubborn a book to be warped and bent to their purposes or the purposes of any narrow, sectarian, one idea system. We trust God will over-rule ail these movements for the good of His Church and the dissemination of His pre cious Word. T- Tracts Books. Several oruers for Tracts have been re ceived, and will be filled immediately. Plenty more on hand ; let orders be sent on. A brother on Boanoke Circuit en quires whether he must give or sell the books which were sent with the Tracts. Give them ; they belong to the Tract cat alogue, and are sent to be disposed of as other Tracts are. Those who receive them, however, would do well to reciprocate the liberality, and make, in return, a neat little donation to the Tract Society. This is merely a hint ; " a word to the wise," &c. Greensboro' College. We continue to receive the most flat tering accounts of the large cumber of students entering this noble institution. Nearly 100 boarders have arrived already, and still they come. Parents who send their daughters there exhibit a wise fore cast. Let its friends still rally to its support.

In the last New York Observer, we no tice an appeal made to the clergy of the North, to remove to the South and South West, to supply the great destitution which exists in our Southern and Western States, of learned ministers. The appeal is signed by John C. Stiles and J. P. Hovey, repre senting that the South is urgent in its de mands for Northern ministers, and pledg ing a bonus from the Southern Aid Soci ety, to defray traveling expenses and to meet deficiencies in salary, &c. There is no place in this wide world of ours, where ministers of the right stamp are not wanted. All over this country, North aud "South, godly, learned and de voted ministers are in demand. If there are such in the North and we do not doubt it let them stay there. There. is much work for them to do. The time is not far distant, we trust, when those whose time is now taken up in lecturing upon slavery and Kansas, &c, will vacate their pulpits and leave them to be filled with better men. The North will then, at least, need them. We opine it is a favorite scheme with Dr. Stiles, whose generous heart prompts him to devise large schemes for good, and who, in his late labors in the South and West, discovered a great scarcity of Con gregational and perhaps Presbyterian min isters in that region. We learn that the Southern Aid Society professes to be cath olic in its design, and proposes to aid min isters of all denominations. If we have not been wrongly informed, aid has been proffered to Presbyterian and other clergy, and has been declined. We are glad of it. It is a wrong movement. We don't mean that its friends are acting wickedly, but their judgments are in error and their charities have been misplaced.
