We find in the North Carolina Christian Advo cate aa obituary notice of the death of Mr Thos. II. Temberton, of Fayetteville, N. C, from which we make the following extract: ''Brother Pemberton's health had been gtadual ly declining for several months. His sufferings wrre more intense than is usual in this disease, (pulmonary consumption.) At times his whole system was racked with the most excruciating pain. Rtft Tie bore his sufferings with christian fortitude and eruire resignation to the Divine will. He remarked to the writer that, from his first in disposition, he had never prayed to be restored to health. "Having given myself to God," said he, ''and believing that he would do what is best for me, I have always prayed, 'Thy will be done.' " The deceased was converted to God and joined the Methodist Church under the ministry of Rev. S. Milton Frost, and remained a consistent christ ian gentieman till God took him home. His last hours presented a scene of sublime and glorious triumph. Conscious that " the time of his departure was at hand," he called his wife, relatives and friends around him, and said, 'I am dying, but Jesus is with me, and I find his grace sufficient for me." He then gave to each the parting hpnd, and said, "Meet me in heaven." When he came to his youngest brother, the only member of the family not in the church, he held him by the hand till he promised to meet him in the skies. Having taken leave of all, he then requested them to sing that rapturous hymn, 'On Jordan's stormy banks I stand," &c. During the singing of those beautiful stanzas, he joined feelingly in the devotion. He was then asked "Have you any message for your mother ?" He whispered, "too weak tell her to meet me up yender," as he pointed heavenward. Just before he expired he seemed to catch a glimpse of the bright world. His features kindled with an unearthly halo, which shed its heavenly beams upon his countenance, till the wheels of life stood still, and then faded gradually from the life less clay. "Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head And breathe my life out sweetly there." Give me that religion which throws open to the dying eye, the portals of immortal blessedness." Terrible Affair. A New York paper gives a long statement of the loss of the ship 'St. Paul,' and the massacre of three hundred and thirty per sons on board, both sailors and passengers. The news was received by the last European mails. The Saint Paul. Cant. Pinard. was making a voyage trom cnina to Australia, wun a nou oi Chinese emigrants. It was on one of the numer ous isles of the Louislade Archipelago that the vessel was lost. The Louislade Archipelago is a very extensive group in the South Pacific ocean. The wreck took place on the 11th of September, but the pas sengers escaped from this peril, and an English vessel was hailed. It was too small to carry away all the unfortunates, and three hundred and thirty were left till word was taken to Sydney arid an other vessel sent to their relict. This relief expedition arrived at the place in December or January, and found that of the three hundred and thirty individuals, but one a China man had been saved, all the others having been massacred by the savages, amid the most frightful tortures. Reforted Apostasy. It is reported that Mr Kimball, eldest, son of Heber Kimball, and Joseph Young, son of Brigham, have apostatized and are about leaving for the United States with their first wives, leaving their "spirituals" behind. At least five thousand apostate Mormons will leave Utah for California this Spring. Addressed to a Nigger. Useful nigger!

YOUNG AMERICA ON A WEDDING TOUB. The train from Grafton, a few days since stopped at one of the way stations to take on a couple newly married. Both were young and both were verdant, " -. i i having been raised in the wilds of Weltern Virginia, neither of them had ever been fifty miles away from home. They had heard of locomotives, A n th0 m;id0 f WWprn V rr mifl. nome. i - v j " rZ "07a iboats and hotels, but had never experienced comforts of any of the afore-mentioned steam the eomtorts ot any institutions. Jeems and Lize had determined on this, the niosT important event in their lives, to visit the city and see the world, particularly that part that is known as Parkersburg. No wonder that they were amazed and delighted when the locomotive, steaming and snorting, with the train of beautiful crimson cars lollowing it, came in sight. "These your trunks?" says the baggage master. "Well, I sorter calkilates them's 'em,'' said Jeems. The trunks (a spotted hair trunk and a very old fashioned valise,) were soon in the baggage car, followed by Lize and Jeems. "I'll be darned ef railroad aint a fine thing," said Jeems seating himself on his luggage and carefully holding up the tails of his tight-bodied blue, adorned with resplendent metal buttons, out of the dust. "Lize set here by me." "Come out of that," said the baggage man, "you are in the wrong car. 'he d 1 1 am! D'ye s'pose I don't know what I'm about? These is my traps, and I calkilate to stay whar they ar. Keep quiet, Lize; they say we've got to fight our way through the world anyhow, and if that chap with the cap on wants anything, why I'm his man. Don't want any of your foolin' 'round me!" Here the captain interposed and explained matters, insomuch that Jeems consented to leave his traps and follow the captain. What was his delight when he surveyed the magnificence of the first class passenger car, into which he was ushered. His imagination had never in its wildest flights pictured anything half so gorgeous. He was aroused from the contemplation of the splendor around him by the shriek of the iron horse. "Jeewhillikens ! what in thunder's that?" exclaimed Jeems. "That's the horse squealing when they punch him in the ribs with a pitch fork, to make him go along," said a sleepy looking individual just behind him. "Look here, stranger," said Jeems, "I know you think I'm a darn'd fool; maybe I am, but there's some things I know, and one of 'em is, you'll get your mouth broke ef ye don't keep it shet. I don't say much" just at this moment thej found themselves in Egyptian darkness, and then we heard a scream, almost equal to that of the engine, from Lize, as she threw her arms around the neck of Jeems. "I knew it! I knew it!" exclaimed the sleeping individual; "we're all lost, every mother's son of us. We can just prepare to make the acquaintance of the gentleman in black, who tends the big fire down below." "Oh, Lord! Jeems what will become of us? I felt skeery about gettin' on the outlandish thing, at fust," Keep quiet Lize! hollering will do no good now. Ef you know any prayer, now's-your time to say it tor both ot us. "What is the matter here ?" said the astounded conductor, coming up on the train emerging once more into the light. "That's just what I'd like to know!" said Jeems, when he saw that Lize and himself were still alive. "We've just passed through Eaton's tunnel," replied our polite captain. "How far arc you eoi ng: "Wall, reckon we'll stop at ParkersLurg." "Show your tickets, if you please. "fTfirtainlv Lize. vou trot some with vou. Let j , j 0 this gent look at 'em." Lize drew a piece of white paper from her retieule, and, with a smile handed it to our friend, who read : "The pleasure oftour Company is rcspetfully solicited ?" "What's this?" said the captain. "Why, that's one of the tickets to our weddin', that's what you asked for, haint it?" said the somewhat surprised Jeems. "Haw! haw! haw! haw! haw!" was the discordant sound that arose from the seat of the sleepy looking man." A bland smile passed over the face of the captain as he explained his meaning to our verdant friend. He had no ticket, but willingly paid his 'are, and the train sped towards its destination. But wonders did not cease here. In due time the train stopped at the big depot, in this city. Amidst confusion of strange noise, and a babel of discordant voices, our friends landed on the platform. "Buss, sah? Buss, sah? free for dc United States?" said the sable porter of our up town house. "Lady take a buss, sah?" "Well, I rather spose she wont from any one but me reckon I'm able to do all in that line she wants, and more too." "Go to the Swan House, sah? right crost de street best house in de city. This way, sah any bagaage? Have it sent to your room iu a few minutes. In a short time Jeems and his bride found themselves in one of those comfortable rooms on j pccon j fl,. 0f thnt well ordered establishment ! tho Swart House. Ine baggage was sent up with : the usual promptness, and our friends were soon making their toilet lor dinner. Jeems had his coat aud boots ofl in a jitty, and Lize s hairleu gracetuiiy over her shoulders.

"Tee heel Tee he!" was the only audible reply from the sable gent, as he hurried down stairs. From Yucatan. Via Havana, wc have dates from Merida to April 1st. The war of races still continued with unabated violence, the barbarian Indians carrying out relentlessly their plan of ex termination and destruction. Official documents fiom Valladolid inform us that several ranchos have been invaded, sacked and burned in different parts of the country, and that many people had beea assassinated. The government endeavored to reinforce the troops acting against the savages, but infortunately its resources were very limited. To ctrry on the war, government had issued de crees, suspending all expeditions except those con nected immediately with the prosecution of hos tilities. AN INCIDENT OF REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY. A correspondent of the Southern Christian Ad vocate relates the following interesting incident in South Carolina Revolutionary History. The he- w mi 1 1 1 t I i roine, 31 rs lrammei, uieu several years since, iu Alabama: Mrs Trammel was old enough to have been famil iar with many of the bloody events which occurred near the close of the Revolutionary war, in the immediate neighborhood of her home, which was near King's Mountain, in South Carolina. Her husband, Thomas Trammel, had unhesitatingly identified his fortunes with those of the "Liberty Party," and being a good shot and of unflinching courage, he was a terror to all the friends of the King, as far as his name was known. At the time of which we write, that section of co tntry was overrun by a band of Tories, encamp ed in large numbers at King's Mountain under General Ferguson. There was in this command a noted Tory, by the name of John Towv.s, who had long been the neighbor and professed friend of Trammel. At this time, Towns wan a sergeant, and constantly upon the scout for tho purpose of capturing men, horses, etc. Young Trammel could nuiiafbel much afraid somehow of Towns. Ho thought, surely he will not injure me; but in this he was mistaken as he afterwards had occasion painfully to learn. He had besn lor some time hidiug and keeping out of the way as best he could, until one night he ventured to sleep in his own house. Just before day he was aroused by the heavy tramp of horses, and on rising he found the house surrounded by a troop, which provod to be Sergeant Towns and his band. Trammel was at once seized aud bound, and carried out into tho yard for execution. Towns produced his authori ty, executed in due form, and flourishing it. over Trammel's head, pompously offered to free him if he would take the oath of allegiance to the King, and take up arms against his own countrymen. This proposition Trammel met with merited scorn, and sail in reply, "You can carry me bound to tho King's army, but you can never make me fight against my countrymen." After some consultation they concluded to try to get hold of some of Trammel's horses, knowing that he owned some very fine ones which were hid oat, and they knew not how to find them without using him as a guide. So very anxious were they to get them, that they proposed to release Trammel upon condition that he would go pnd drive thein up. He went and found them, but rode aud drove them another ivay. Having waited until all hopes of his return had vanished, eating, drinking, and pillaging every thing they could turn to account, and feeling no little chagrin at their disappointment, Sergeant Towns called on Mrs Trammel for some clothing for his men, or goods out of which to make some. She replied, "Sir, you have already stripped me of all. I have nothing more for you, except your nephew there," pointing to his sister s son, an or phan boy, whom they in charity had taken some time before to keep from suffering, "he has a few cl dhes which I have made for him; you can take them if you will." But they did not suit. About this time his eyes rested upon a strong box which sat near the fire-place, and he said, "What have you in that box ?" She replied, in dignantly, " Sir, it is none of your business." "Well," said he, "it is my business, and I'll see what it contains." "No, sir," said she, "yoa shall not look into that box," and seizing a heavy iron poker she placed herself between Towns and tho box, and planted herself firmly, resolved to defend her little treasure.
