Oipabbath ''morning 1 visited as unday school in a tction where iniquity abounded a few years sincef I went in time to witness their entire exercses; and a more interesting scene I have seldan if ever beheld in iy life. The Govern men of the Snpt. and the attention and instruc tion )f the teachers, was of the most pleasant and ffeetual character. The children were all quie deeply interested in reciting their good less is, and in hearing the explanations given. I hrfe found 60 of "The Pictorial Tract Prim merr in use. aud the Supt. said "This book is justrthc right thing for interesting and instruct ing l-hildren. All are delighted with it." And a mther here remarked, "So simple, tender aud touching are the answers in the catechism of the Trait Primmer that my son John, though not quilt; ft years old is so delighted with and im pressed by them that frequently he is affected to fears while I am teaching him the lesson, anuhe will . 'then say, "Aia, I must be a good bo, for the Lord is great and good." Tl.is Scfool has increased from 43 to 87 scholars smie its' celebration on the 4th of July last. One of the Supt's plans for increasing his school is, to give to him or her who brings in a new scholars a nice picture tract and one to the new scholar. "This gets the whole school interested and at work. I gave a tract called "The Fool's Ponce" to a moderate driuker 13 mouths ago ami he at UMice gave up t lie use of ardeut spirits and loan fed it again ; and in this wav it has passed through 18 families, and by it 13 persons have been induced to give up the u.-;e of alcoholic liquors as a beverage. I have been forcibly struck and greatly en couraged by hearing professors of religion speak of the happy effects produced on their minds and hearts from reading the Tract Volumes. Some have been thoroughly awakened to their christian duties, aud in the performance of duty they testify that they have enlarged views of God, new love for Him, and increasing concern for the spread of the gospel and the conversion of sinners. Many of them have requested me to give them an opportunity to contribute an nually to the Tract Society, assuring me that their prayers should ascend daily for God's blessing to attend all its efforts aud instrumen talities.

Recently, a gentleman came to me in the street and said, "My heart is filled with joy to an over-flowing this morning, and I wish to speak with you about it. Since I having been tryiug to serve God my dear wife has strongly opposed me. But for the last six months she has received aud read a Tract monthly, from, the "Female Tract Society" which seemed to make her serious and occasionly she has gone to church. On last Sunday she went to church twice and at night she was much distressed and unwilling to retire I asked her to make known her mind and feelings to me. She seem ed to hesitate a moment, and then said with streaming eyes, 'Oh I am such an awful sinner! What shall I do? I have opposed your pray ing in our family and I have never heard you pray. I do not want to lie down to-night with mrtjiearing you pray, and pray for me.' I at puce-got my family together and for the first time tried to pray in public. And in the dis charge of this duty my soul has been abundant ly blessed and my wife is yet anxiously inquir ing for salvation." Ibis lady has since been hopefully converted to God. i Most of the last month, November, I was on a visit to West Tenn. where Colportage has and is yet doing great good. I was greatly strength ened and encouraged by spending a few days with Bro. T. J. Terry Colp. of Henry Co. May the Lord long spare his useful life. I also met with other Colporteurs by the way who suc ceeded well in getting travellers to take good books aud tracts to read instead of novels. A fine looking gentleman came to me on the cars and purchased some tfacts. He seemed un usually glad to get them and after he had dis tributed some, he took a seat with me and stated-that whenever he saw tracts his gratitude to God was newly stirred, for it was a tract given him by a Colporteur between Philadelphia find New York that was instrumental in awak ing him and bringing him to Christ, the sinner's friend. May we all take fresh courage in work ing lor Uod who ever works for us. Yours trulv, ,W. J. W. Crowder Colp. of the Arner. Tract Society, for Wate and Cumberland co's X. C. Raleigh, Dec. 1st, 1854. The number of persons of foreign Wrth now in. the United States is 2,210,839: the nnmber of natives, whites, 17,737,578, and of persons whose nativity is "unknown," 39,154 Mr Wise, ofi Virginia, asks, what are the know nothings going to do . with these 39,154 un- KuC'fmd' the "boldness to claim her love ns of right, swearing before a court of justice that she was letrothed to hiun. The poor girl, abash ed but indignant, appeared before the judges at Toul, and contradicted by oath this calumny of passion. The judges saw through the plot, and sent her home free. While her beauty thus charmed the eye, the composure of her face, the thought fulness of her features, the solitude and silence of her life, astonished her father, her mother, and her bro thers. The possessed only the grace and at traction of her sex she had none oTits weak ness Her face exhibited neither her feelings nor the emotions of her heart. Its expression,' concentrated in her eyes, seemed rather that of meditation than of feeling, yet she was compas sionate and tender; but her pity and tenderness extended to something greater and more dis tant than her immediate horizon. She prayed unceasingly, spoke little, and avoided the com pany of her equals in age. She generally re tired alone; and plied her needle in a secluded nook, under a hedge behind the house, from which she could only see the blue sky, the tow er of the church, and the distant crtst of the mountains. She seemed to hear voices within her which the noise of the world would have stilled. She was scarcely eight yenrs of age when these signs of inspiration began to appear in4 her. In this she resembled the Sybils ot old, marked from their infancy with the fatal seal of sadness, beauty, and solitude, among the daughters of men instruments of inspiration reserved for oracles, and to whom evrv other employment of mind was prohibited. She lovf d everything that suffered; particularly animals those intelligent beings gifted with love for us, but deprived of words to convey their feel ings. Her compauious say that she was mild aud merciful to birds. She considered them as creatures condemned by God to live near men, in a state of transition between soul and matter, and having iu their nature nothing ns yet com plete bqt the painful faculties of suffering and love. All that -was' melancholy arid indefinite in the sounds of nature attracted and ab.orbed her. 'She was so fond of the sound of bells,' says the old Chronicler, 'that she promised the ringer hanks of wool for the autumn gathering if he would sound the Angelus longer in the mornings.' But her pily was most strongly excited for the kingdom of France, and for the young dau phinmotherless, without a country", and with out a throne. The tales she daily" heard from monks, soldiers, pilgrims, and beggars the cottage newsmen of the time Clled her heart with compassion for the young prince. His image was associated in her'mind with the cala mities of her fatherland. It was in him that she saw it perish; it was through him that she prayed to God for its deliverance. Her spirit was ceaselessly occupied with this anxiety and sadness." iMmartinr. tw o It''' ..f ; Tail adf YThrttr rattans.

In the county of St. Francois, and in the midst of a fertile and flourishing agricultural region, some eighty miles from St. Louis, and some twenty eight from the Mississippi, rises this famous emi nence of iron. It is thus described by" a corres pondent of the St Louis Republican: "The mountain and the mound consist of masses of iron ore of the richest quality, arran ged by the hand of Xature in 'ready-made' lumps, from the size of a pigeon's egg upwards, mixed with a small portion of reddish-yellow clay, which itself contains quite a per-ceutage of iron. Thus far the workings there is no min ing necessary have been confined to a small portion of the westerly slope of the mound, the mountain being held in reserve, I presume, for the grander operations of future generations. A few hands, with little labor or cost, pick out enough ore to supply the furnaces. The entire mound, so far as it has been excavated and test ed, is composed of these lumps of ore, almost as pure a.rpig. metal, easily separated from the clay which fills the interstices. In many places scarcely anything but lumps of pure ore, with hardly any admixture, appear. In some parts of the workings the ore taken out requires no roasting to prepare it for the furnaces; but, At.amanck Su'Eriok Conn-. We learn that the trial of the negro Wesley, belonimr to Mr Daniel Waggoner, of Alamance, chared with the murder of Mrs Elizabeth Strader a short time since, took place last week before .In i-e Bailey at Alamance superior court. Solicitor Iluflin appeared for the State, and J. W. Nor wood, Esq.,. for the prisoner. The trial oiea pied but about two hours. The pro. f direct and conclusive, 8ml the negro wns f'n i .i guilty of tie murder. He was seutcneid to he hanged on the 15th of December.

" A HfcMAitKAtM.E Cocn.K. A correspondent of the Maine Farmer, tell of a couple in that. State, who are remarkable people in their way. The husband is rb'J years old and hi wife -. These old people by their own labor raised thi year 71 bushels of wheat, 40 bushels of coin , three or four loads of pumpkins, 'besides pota toes and other articles. The old lady workil in the field with the husband six or eirht ho u -each day, and prepared all the meals be-hh-.

But at what period will the mound, even, be exhausted? I have seen no calculations and heard of no estimate of the quantity of ore; but, for my own satisfaction, assuming the following data as entirely w ithin reasonable bounds, these results are obtained: "Twenty acres, an average depth of fifty feet, yielding (sav) four tons of ore to the cubit yard, would produce seventy per cent, as the net yield of metal, four and a half millions of tons of iron. If this were taken out at the rate of one hundred thousand tons per aunum, it would occupy-' forty-five years. Unless, there fore, a much larger quantity be yearly disposed of the present generation of workers will not witness the disappearance of the mound even to the level of the farnaces. Respecting the quan tity in the mountain, it is enough to say that it is practically inexhaustible. The line of the St Louis and Iron Mountain railroad passes im mediately west of the works, affording easy and most convenient railroad access to the mound, the furnaces, and the base of the raotmtaf aj 000,000.
