Ex-President Davis in England. : The Liverpool Star of August Cth thus an nounces the arrival of Jefferson Davis and his family: - "The celebrated President of the Confederate government during the American civil war, Mr Jefferson Davis, arrived at Liverpool . with his family on Tuesday evening, in the Allan steam er Austrian, from Quebec. Mr Medley, accom panied by his carriage, and several other car riages and their owners, including 3ir Medley, Jr., Mr Prioleau, Mr James Spencc, and other well-known friends of the Southern government, were in attendance. The ex-President's party included .Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mr Jefferson Davis, Jr., Mr William Davis, Miss Margaret Davis, Miss V A Davis, and servant; in their party were also included Dr and Mrs Raw son, Miss E Rawson and Miss Mackenzie. Mr. Davis is a thin, wiry-looking man, apparent" ly about sixty-five years of age. In features he is exceedingly like the photographs of him, which are well known in Europe as well as in America. He was dressed in a plain walking suit of grey plaiding, and, on the whole, seemed to be lively and well satisfied, although he com plained of being somewhat out of health. Mr Davis and his family are staying at the Adelphi hotel in strict privacy, and they will remain in Liverpool for a few days, to recruit from the fatigue of the voyage. Y esterday they remain ed in their apartments, where they were visited by a number of American and English merchants. m m mi The Patriot's Reward. We read in an exchange the other day that the great Radical Garfield, a red-mouthed Jacobin from Ohio, went to Congress two years ago a poor man, but that he is now rolling in wealth. The same miraculous change in circumstances has been observed in many others of the ''party of high moral ideas," and the only question that arises is, how did these disinterested patriots make so much money? Their pay as Congress men is all spent in entertaining the faithful that visit the national capital, and yet they are all becoming wealthy. The only answer is that these fellows get rich by means best known to themselves; but which we think may be explain ed by supposing that a handsome percentage of the appropriations made by Congress, by some means or other, finds its way into their pockets. Ex-President personal friend of letter to the Hon. Fillmore. An intimate ex-President Fillmore, in a Alexander II. II. Stuart, of Virginia, says 'I do not violate private confidence in saying that ex-President Fillmore and the men who honor him for his patoiotism and statesmanship are firm supporters of Horatio Seymour." m . Pacific Railroad It is said to be proba ble that nearly 1000 miles of the Union Pacific Railroad will be in running order the, present year, and that the entire line will be open to the Pacific for business in 1800.

Jul v 20. 180S Sin J 'c II From the Southern Presbyterian. Owe no Man any thing. Whether this utterance of the Apostle is to be understood, with some interpreters, as an in junction never to incur a debt, always to pay at once for that which we buy; or with others, as a command punctually to discharge our debts at the time due, we shall not attempt to decide. Whether the law of Christian duty as here an nounced requires a rigid and universal adhe rence to the cash system, or whether it allows a credit system faithfully and honestly acted upon, may be a question difficult to determine. ..Rut that it does demand the punctual and faithful payment of a debt according to promise this much at least cannot be doubted. 'Evidently to contract a debt which we know wcshall not have the means to pay, is a flagrant 4'shonesly. It is to take advantage of our neigh Bbrs confidence in our honesty and truth, tdget from him his property and appropriate it to our own use without any intention of compensation or return. To go in debt beyond what we know to be our ability to pay, is a species of swindling baser and more flagitious than highway robbery; for to the injustice of it are betrayal of trust, and a violation "of truth. A man may so con trive to perpetrate it as to escape punishment by the laws of the State. But there is another law which will catch him in its toils, and another court which will bring him iu guilty, and another Judge who will lay righteousness to the line and judgment to the plummet. Rut little if any less guilty is he who contracts a debt, if his ability to discharge it when due is doubtful. The man who snaps a gun at another when he is uncertain whether it is loaded or not is near about as wicked as he who loads it and then shoots him . To make a promise and on the btrength of it to induce our neighbor to place his property in our hands, when we have reason to doubt our inability to fulfil that promise, is at most but one step from the sin first mentioned. And to be strictly honest and honorable, we will incur no debt without seeing our way clear to pay it. We will not be willing to take our neighbor's property and use it for our own pur poses when we are uncertain whether we shall be able to replace it. The man who does, is but a short degree from a swindler. lie defrauds, or at least endangers the property of his neigh bor, from indifference to justice and honesty; the swindler from contempt of them. The distance between the two therefore is only that between indifference and contempt, and it is not far. And yet how many there are who go in debt when they see no certainty of being able to pay! when there is only a hope, a possibility, a chance, that it will be in their power to do so a chance depending on the innumerable hazards of busi ness, seasons, life, and a thousand accidents. If they do not in the end violate t'i.e command of Cod and wrong their fellow man, it will be due, not to ther moral principle and integrity, but to accident and fortune. And what shall we say of those who can, but do not pay their debts punctually at the time promised? What can be said but that they are guilty of stealing, to which they add the further sins of betraying and deceiving the confidence reposed in them by their creditor, and of false hood and lying. To withhold from . our neigh bor what belongs to him, what, relying on our integrity, he has confided to our trust for a sea son, and what we have promised to deliver up to him, is an iniquity of no ordinary character. And yet there are men, claiming to be honest and honorable, who make light of paying a debt when due, and some who never pay except in the prospect or under the pressure of compul sion! They are thieves who give up their plun der when they can keep it no longer. Some times these men neglect to pay their debts, when they could if they would, because they cannot without some inconvenience an example of sel fishness, injustice, and dishonesty as mean as it is wicked. We may affirm that a man who is jast and honest according to his convenience, is not truly just and honest at all. Some do not pay punctually because they wish to lay out their money in buying additional property, or in speculation, or in some private personal or domestic expenditure. They are in fact trading, buyingand speculating with another man's money money illegally, unjustly, dis honestly, and dishonorably withheld from its rightful owner. If it- had a tongue it would cry aloud in their thievish ears "Stolen! stolen!" Surely no man can be an honest man who is not scrupulously cautious in contracting debt and scrupulously faithful in fulfilling all such obli gations. If he is not, however he may disguise the fact to himself, he is in heart an offender against the commandments of God, deficient in the principle of honesty, and must be ranked with those of whom it is written "thieves shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven." Overseer Wanted. I wish to employ a gentleman to oversee and man age my Plantation.
