The Dr. ul'uled to the ethnological division of mankind into three- marlad race?, coincident with the division made afur the llxal, and pioc-ed.d to trace out the prophecy ih-. n made, and its fultillavut, C3 evidenced by the hist.-ry r-tid present positicn of the descendairis (f Shem, Japhet and Ham respectively.

It w is named ia the samj commandments, and placed un der the e&me a? ctioi.s which enforce the observance cf the Sabb .th, or tuard the rights of he mo, of family, and of property. Coming down to the teachings uceler the Christian dispensation , he emoted suiidry passages bearing upon tho Fu j;t, ainoiig others the advice of Haint Paul to Timothy, rtcrgnizing the relation of master and slave, enjoining upon tie latter respect and obedience to the former, and cemmacding 'linuihy so to teach.

As man and as a minister of the gospti of peace, he prayed for peace ; as a bereaved parent, he sympathised with other parents and prayed tor pc-a.-e', but for such peace as would be plea?:ug to God, end ia pursuance of His ordinances. He thought all the talk about our cfJeiing peace was so much sheer folly. We had offered peace from first to last. We had not commenced this war we now waged no war asaics? the North. We simply defended our selves, 'lhe North could make peace at any time a.'d the North kmi? it. It would be usJes3 to sue for peace. Wcmrst fight fer it.

The facts are thene : Forafewday3 t rior 1o the ce3 tiucticu of this ve-Bs&l. tha Yankee blockaders had been lying very closo to the eastern shoie of ehr I-land. A dispatch lrc-m (er eral Uebert to cur commandirg officer, Colonel IledTick, to keep agoe d watch on the eastern side, found the Coltnel at the wtrk, he having had' the Whit worth guo, under Lieut. Helen, in position waitm? for a good Bhot for several days prior. Early on that morniDg this vessel was discoverer lying at anchor about two miles distant from sLore. A 20-pounder Parrot gun, command ed by Capt. Badbam.and the Whitworth, uuder Lieutenant Ilollen, both under the direction of Lieut. Col. Tait, were placed in a good position, directly opposite the ship. At eleven o'clock precisely. Lt. Helen commenced firing with t.e Whitworth. Ills thot ricocheted once asd struck short on second graze about 20 yard-". Wo feel a'mofit ccitain that thu shot penetrated thhull below the water line, a little forward of midship. It must have g me through and through her. Immediately after, Capt. ikd ham opened with the Parrott and fired 8 or 9 shots with great rapidity, many of tLcci wore socn to strike the t hip. The greater deliberation neccBi-ary for success ul firicg with the .VMiitworth enabled Capt. 5!adham to tire two shots from the Parrott to Liput. lid n's one, he firing only about five shots. Tbo ship did not return tke fire, but im mediately lowe cd fceveral boats, run up a flag at tho fore mast, and, as soon as 6uc could slip her cable acd start the tmottercd fire, got under way and Btood in the ditectionjof the fleet. One of the vessels of the fleet anav ered tha sig nal by running alongside of her. The Tact of her not re turning cur lire f-eeins to me pratty good evidepce that sha was badly hurt, as these lellos never fait to Co so when fired npoa from the . shore. We are very well BatisQcl thit we did the work for her, and the boji who worked the guns are a little proud of ic, acd are not.willirg that Southern rock should have the credit. This is the second vessel sunk on the coast by our guns, the first being tho Daylight, as stated in your isaue. bhe was sunk by Capt. Lane, of the 40th Iiegimnt, who is Btationed on the other side. Tlie boys of the 40th are proud ot this too, and think it a littlo singular that the fact has never been noticed before. We learned the name of the steamer through papers washed ashore from the wreck, one of which I send y ou, giving a list of the clliotrs cf the ship. You will remember that she is the same ship in which a townsman of yours, Simon B. Eahnweiler, wi.s interested, and out of which the great lawsuit arose that was reported a few months ago in the English papers.

From the New York Times, 2L The symptoms of weakness on the part of the Ministry I in England are mcreasitg eveijr u-i , i quue s?i dant that nothing but th9 want ot leaders and want uolicy on the part of the opposition prevents a crisis that wouM result in the ousting of the Palmerston Bussell Cabi net. Everybody is dissatisfied with tne position held by Eig'ALd in her relations with foreign Powers, acd her in ternal condition, though the Custom House returns convey an appeararce of prosperity, is by no meana satisfactory. She has never- recovered the prestige lost by the Crimean war ; and every opportunity that has siuce offered iteelf of doing so has been suflered o pass, in obedience to the con siderations which no Ecgluh Mio:stc"r in these days dares to overlook. Non-intervention is cheap and safe, but Erg'ishmen are beginning to discover tha- tbey must choose betwt n peace and economy and predominance abroad. They can Dot h ve both, and thy are by no means pleasexl by the reve ;aion The refusal to" interfere ia th I alian qisrrel on one side or the othe followed by a lame and impotent at tempt to interfere in the Polish quarrel, ha, it is now cer tain! had the eflactof convincing the German Powers that Ercland will not interfere ifl any quarrel lor any cause whatever, ana they nave acieu m mo d.u..Fwuu ju mo ou tfought on Denmark. The position oc jupied by Lord Kus Bell in this matter is extremely embarrassing. "All over Europe," as the Spectator says, "the nations are sneering a'.the value of Eeglaud's liieudship and the worthlessness 01 Ki gland's menaces." England persuaded, almost co erred the Dauea into a treaty in 1852 ; she advised them to evacuate Hoisteia, and they consented ; and she forhher ad vised the revocation ot the Constitution, iacluding the Du chies in the Kingdom, and actually guaranteed to Austria and Piudtia that ii they suspended the march of their armies, this revocation should to incorporated in the new treaty, aid thus made a part of the public law of Europe. The Danes assented to all this, and yet the Germans marched, bate occupied the Duchies, and Ei eland dee not move M. I ' 1 ... . . . . . ine puouc in ftneund are accoromeiv oecomicc vorv restive, and there are strong stns of a reac'ioa against the poucy 01 non-nt erference, which has ever since 1815 been avowedly a favorite one With ad c'art ; and, as the pre sent Aiinutry happens just now to be the represc&tative or it. 11 seems pretty certain that any failure to arrange me uanisn imorogiio, m a manner tnat will save the honor ot the Danes, will lead to their defeat on a hostile motion and consequently a diiso'ution of Parliament, unless they snou-d rusn into war. A bold policy they are, however h-erdly likely to. adopt, eveu to save their pUees. Both Pal mere ton and Uasell are too old to be any longer either enterprising or audacious. The 'reason EarJ Ku-mell gave for not takntr np the cause cf Poland with more vigor was, mat, "ai nia time or lite, he couid not undertake the re sponsibiHty of conductirg so oritical a policy." And no 00c y who reaas wnat raimeraton was even hltern years ago, and sees wnt ne is now. but mnBt te. 1 that age has begun to make itself felt iu his brain as well as in his Hubs.

We take the fbllowing paragraph from a letter o "Antelope," the New Yoik coirespondent of the New urieans ricayune : Nkw York, Feb. C. 1864. The eiee of Charlt-sion to many persons seemed vir tuaily raised when Hen (iillmore removed his headquar tfTH from MorriA I -.land arul n'nio mnru pnmnlj.ju 01 by the withdrawal of-ahne at the entire army, acd tEe departure 01 their leaner, tor Washington. ha rope had agreed that iho result of the siege of Charleston should be a fair teat of the capabilities-' of irrn-clad vesseld egaitst forts of Btone and brick, and the test has bevn decided against the former. The re sult is important to all naval powers, and, viewed in that light, is worth all the mnre money cost of the ex- peuiuon. out it is not 10 ne supposed tnat the hoal attempt has been abandoned. I he spring- wiil doubt less witness a renewed effort for the occupation of the " nest of treason," and, in all probability, by even a still larger naval and latd force than the one which l as j 1st suspended its operalions. If Mobile is, in th5 meanwhile, captured, Farragut with his fleet can be spared to take a hand in the business perhaps direct the naval movements, while the fleet it self can be added to largely by the score or so of new vessels that are approaching completion. Wilmington, too, rqay also have, fallen, and then an overwhelming army could assail the city from the rear, and possibly with better prospects of success than ever before. In this way the city might be occupied before the torts were taken, but the ultimate surrender of these would be inevitable. To my mind, it Charleston is taken it will be in this manner. An expedition, as I write, is organizing with an eye to Wilmirgton, and ilie"Jon federates, scenting the darjger, ore workiDg,day and night to aver the threatened blow. What is now mostly feared is a sudden attempt of the Charlestoa ram3 to destroy the few monitors that we left on guard inside the bar. A visit from tin te vessels has not been unlocked for for two riiopths pi ; yet, in the face of it, tho Federal fleet is shorn of na proportions, the army is sent South, and Gilmore re turns to Washington. VALUE OF OSRA. David Eart, Esq., writing of Okra to th- South Carolinian, says : W'hile reading an article republished in your valua ble paper, under date of the 8th inst., entithd Okra Hemp, the following thoughts suggested themselves : 1. It is a fibrous plant, and as such may be convert ed into some of the useful ajts. " 2. The seed can be compressed ; the result will bj an us-lul oil, equal to, and answering most, it not all the purposes of olive oil. 3. The cakes after compression are equal to the cakes of linseed oil altejr compression for the food of stock. 4. The seed has been often used with approval as a substitute for coffee. 5. The hulls of ihe seed are eagerly sought altar by stock. C. The residue of the stalk, after tlie fibies will, have been removed, will answer for litter for stock, thereby producing a large quantity of valuable man ure. 7. Its value as an ingredient in soup and as a vege table on the table, alone are too well known to require any remarks from any one. As to that variety of the Okra best adapted to the arts, the soil, culture, composts, manner of preparing and dressing for the uses and purposes intended must be necessarily left to the observation, reflection and t. the experience of its cultivators. The fact which has been published, that its strength of fibre is considerably less than hemp, ought not by acy means to retard its experimental cultivation- It ia an uduiitied fact that the texture and strength of both flax and hemp have been vastly improved since their first introduction. Why no the fibre of the Okra also? I know of no plant more deserving of notice and practical consideration than Okra. . Tit Objects of this VYhi-. In the United States Senate, on Tuesday last, Mr. Wilson reported the following bill, (as a substitute for Mr. Carlisle's resolutions,) which miy be taken as the final declaration of the views of the Republican party : That the objects of the war arc the subjugatidn of tnc rebels in arms to tne rightful authority of the Uni nited States acd the re establiserrent of such authority ; that, in the prosecution of the war, the United States njay adopt whatever measures, not inconsistent with f iha rules of civiliz-d warfare, as may be deemed neces sary to secure the public safety now atd hereafter ; that any person born and residing in the United States, whether bond or free, owes allegiance to the United L States, and this allegiance is paramount to any duty which such person may owe to any ate or individual ; that the Constitution of the United States does not recognize slaves as property, but as persons owing ser vice or labor ia certain States, under the laws thereof, and it is the right and duty cf the United States to offer such persons such inducements ns are best calculated to enable them to give to their coun'ry th. paramount allegiance which they owe, and that the proclamation ot emancipation issued by the President of the United Sta'es on the 1st day of January, 18G3, was a measure necessary for the common defence, sacctiontd by the spirit of the Constitution, and by the law and practice ot nations, and said proclamation is hereby declared to have the force and effect of law, anything in the law or Constitution of any State to the contrary notwith standing. - Horribik Sckkk at an Exkcution. The Yankees at Knoxville, Tenn., on the 8th ult., hung C. S. Dodd, of the 8th Texas cavalry, as a spy.. We find in a North ern paper the following description of the horrible scene at tne execution : The legs and arms ot the prisoner were pinioned and the cap drawn over bis face, he all the time being en gaged in brief ejacluations cf prayer, which were beard by the officiating officers. At a siginal the bolt was cow withdrawn ; the culprit fell, but the cotton rope broke by the sudden tension, and the man lay stretched and stunned upon the frozen ground below. A murmur of horror, mingled ith expressions of pity, ran through the assembled crowd. Recovering lor' an instant from the shock, for hid neckwas not broken he said perhaps incoherently, "Release me quick, if you please." For some ten minutea, the unfortunate man lay thus upon nis back, without moving a rausele. Meantime the" officers and men whose paiuful duty it was taee to the execution of the law adjusted this time two parts of the same rope iLstead o cue, axd the half-conscious man was borne up thejatai steps a second time, being partly supported upon the drop until the double noose had been adj isted. Not a word or a sign of suffering all this time escaped his lips. Tn uother moment the drop fell, and the prisoner's form now hung by the neck, the fcnot behind the bead.

That the AbolitionistB instigated the attempt in order to inaugurate hostilities. 7. Democrats must declare open, determined war against the Administration. 8. Not another rap should be spent, not another man recruited unless Mr. Lincoln turns copperhead in his policy. 9.

FROM DALTON YANKEE STORIES. Daltov, March 17th, I8C4. The Nashville Times, of the 12th, contain a a horrible ac- couut of the hanging of twenty-three Union soldiers by the rebels at Einston, N. C, who had fled from conscription. They met their fate like men. Even tho Confederate sol diers were moved to tears at the spectacle. They also threatened to hang five of Col. Foster'a men, who had never been in the rebel service. A Washington telegraph states that the horrible disclo sure baa been made that the Libby prison was mined and 200 kegs of powder placed under it at the late raid. All quiet in front. What has bxcohi of all t Kivk Dollab Bills is asked by the Charleston Courier ? . A Question easily enough answered; they are hoarded np by shrewd finan ciers, principally by our Hebrew brethren, who, through the aid of some friend or friends at or about court obtain ed information of the provisions of the funding bill many days in advanoe ot tae- pubiio generally, which informa tion tbey turned to account oy garnering op most 01 tne bills of the denomination of five dollars and less. One of them here boasted that he had thirty thousand dollars in 15 dollar bills. Congress so. doubt meant to benefit persons -of small meana by extending the period for funding the five dollaj biila, but it produced the effect, as financiers should have known, of withdrawing that class of bills from circulation; for it lathe law of finance If there are two currencies of different intrinsic values, that the most valuable oae is always hoarded up ia thia ease to the great annoyance and loss of every elaas ot honest citizens, especially the soldiers, for often with money in their pockets, they cannot buy anything they need, not even a meal's victuals, without ia many cases paying 30 to 60 per cent, extra, because they cannot make the right change. The question may be asked, what ad vantags do the holders 01 bills of small denomination pro pose to themselves by hoarding them . up ? That too is easily answered ; they expect that Mr. Memmin ger in his haste to got cut a sufficiency of the new currency, will issue it in bills of large denomina tions, and that the holders of such bills will be oompeilsd, for Want of ehange, to take their 5 dollar bills without dis count for the new ; thus they will get their old money changed into the new at par, the loss falling npon the lesa shrewd, and especially the aoldiera, who will moat proba bly be paid oil ia twenty dollar bills. And now, whether they are to be bo viotimised by a set of Shy locks or not, reBts with Mr. Memminger, who baa it in his power to dis appoint thia well-laid scheme of plunder, by first lttjuing a sufficiency ot bills of email denominations. CURRENCY. From the Mitslasipplan. ARREST OF A FEDERAL SPY. David McGibbon, formerly a law partner of Henry N. Hart, Esq. of St. Louis, Missouri, was brought to Demopofia on Thursday last, aud placed in irons, con demned to be hung as a spy. This mn McGibbon is a Canadian by birth, and in early life went to New York City, and entered the of- m a I 1 a. a. . . - - . . fice of one 01 me leaamg attorneys 01 tnat city as a law student. After getting nis license to pactice his pro- Lfession, be went to Illinois for several years, but be coming ery mucn involved, be left there and went to St. Louis, very much reduced in circumstances and in want. Circumstances bringing him to the notice of Henry N. Hart, then a practising and prominent lawyer, Mr. H? was won by his courteous, gentlemanly address, in vited him to visit bia office, and treateefcfcini with all the courtesy due a gentleman. Mr. H. becoming so much prepossessed in bis laver, telegraphed to W. U. Seward, Lewis Cass, and others of less note, to whom McGibbon referred ai to his general character and standing, and receiving favorable anawers, admitted Mc Gibbon as a partner in bis office, to share e q ially all the profits accruing therefrom. This was in September, 1860. After the massacre at t amp .1 uckjoo, Mr. Hart learned, to his wonder and astonishment, that his part ner, ( McGibbon, 1 was, and had betu for some time, drilling a company of Black Republiean " Wide Awahi" in the ot. liouis Arsenal, immediately on learning this, -Mr. H. had his (McGibbon'e) accounts raadu out, and dissolved partnership. Soon after this, ilr. Hart was arrestcei ana turown into the St. Louis Arseual prison, as a rebel ! Ale Gibbon used every means in his power to aave Mr. H. executed, as an enemy to the Federul Government, and as an aidr and abettor to the l-so culled Confederate States," ulttcugh te bad no positive proof of t.e f..cf. Mr. U. wasatur several months coLfiaemont, released on condition that be would emgirate to u clime mre congenial to his eentiuxjnts, which he leadtily co.-se r ed to do, in ott er VvCidB, be was bauiehed, m the sup position that he was not loyal to "Me best govecntneut the world ever saw," which supposition" w ut correct, in that instance, at least. McGibbcn was arrested Inst summer at Grenada, Mis3., ncd 00 being qatsuofjtd as to hi intentions and objects, stated be formerly belonged to the Confederate States infantry, but uad been liS'.'harstd account of inability lor that lice ot" the otrvice, ur:d was making bia way to the eea coast w join the Cod tecerate Navy Not having the requisite papers about, him tosubetan' tia e these tacts, btf wad arrested as a spy. and taken t) Pontotoc for sale keeping. He soon after broke fail, hut was short! v after rurain aDnrebended and taken to Columbus, and tried, convicted, and condemned to be shot as a spy. He made application for a new trial, and pending the motion, again cut his way oat of jail. He was, a lew daye since, agaio arrested, in company with some others, and brought to Demopolis'and heavi ly irrned, there to await the action of the military board. It has been reliably ascertained from news derived from Memphis, that this man McGibbon, with two other, left Memphis last eummer as a secret agent or ppy, for the Federal Government, and $20,000 waa to be their reward for such information as tbey might gain of interest to them, and of course detrimental to oun cause. One of them was caught and hnDg last summer; the other waa apprehended and lodged in jail, but soon after made his escape, and the third one, McGibbon, is the subject cf this sketch. Mr. Hart, from whom we have derived this informa tion, is a gentleman of reliability and ot well known veracity. He states that McGibbon is a shrewd, clear beaded man, and a dangerous fee leaving no stone un turned to acompnE-h any object he might undertake. We learn he is to be bung aome day this week. McGib bon ranks as Major in the Federal service. Such will be the fate of David McGibbon, and such, we hope and trust, will be the. fate of all such who come among us clothed with friendly pretensions and an oily tongue, but -who, like an adder iu the grass, will thrust its venomous fangs into your vitals when you are least expecting it. Since writing the above, we team from a crtntlemaa direct from Demopolis, that McGibbon will be execu ted to-morrow. The Expedition to Wuitemaesu Island. A cor respondent of the N. Y. Herald gives the following Yankee version of the late expedition to W hitemarsb Island, below Savannah : On the 21st, an expedition consisting of Ihe 85th Pennsylvania, a detachment of the C7th Ohio and tho 4tb New Hampshire regiments, Col. Bell, under the command of Col. Howell, proceeded from Hilton Head in the steamers Dictator, Capt. Blakeman, the Mary Burton, the Golden Gate, tne Majflower, (armed), Capt. Young, to Whitemarsh Island, to capture a fa tigue party said to be at work there building intrench ments. The expedition reached Freeman's Cut late at night, end before daylight pushed up towards the scene of their operations. Capfain Hughes, with his com- fany of the 85th Pennsylvania volunteers, was first anded, and surprised the rebel pickets and put them to flight, and captured fifteen out of fifty men that con stituted it. The rebels waited to give our men only one volley-, when they broke and ran with cur men closely after them. Oar force, or a portion of it, was put ashore quite rapidly; considering the defective char acter of the boats used on tho occasiou. As soou as u sufficient number was ashore, company B, 4th New Hampshire, Capt. Greenltaf, was thrown out asskir mishers, and ordered to feel the enemy's pesition and strength. He advanced rearly two milep. and found the? eEemy quiie strong in the woods, and, after driving the enemy's skirmishers, Le found himself in the pres ence of a rebel force of at least fifteen hundred men. Ab soon as this fact was developed, he fell back atel joined -the commaLd cgain , closely lollowed by the ene my. When the exact state of affairs was made known to Col. Howell, he determined to embark his command on the transports, and relinquish the plan of Cjerations, as with bis inferior force he could do but little and might possibly be captured. The enemy pressed on our ennmarjd, os it waa slowly embarkiDg, and opened fire, wounding two of our officers and one man. Col.. Bell ordered companies F and O, of the 4th N. Hamp shire, to throw up a temporary rifle pit, and cover it front with abaltis, behir.d which our men were protec ted. This was held until our men were sileiy on the vessels' decks again. The Majflower was busy enough meanwhile in vigorously shelling thej rubel position, nud prevent them from using their artillery as effectually ua tbey may have desired. Tbb rebel were kept at bay uctH the entire force got away, and then, covering the rear, the Mayflower moved quietly away firii;ir a couple of shells as a parting compliment to the rebels, who made no reply. J he expedition may have a good (fh et 011 Ihe rebels about Savannah and occasion a change in their pro gramme. The Moral Advantajks of I'luliu (Jai.amitik.i. Prosperous and easy times, long coutinued, finally lull men to sleep, ine poor man is ungratclul, becauso help comes promptly, aul prompt help renders him negligent in bis business. Tho philosopher amuses him self with an ideal world, and the statesman with idle projects. Mt"-e voluptuous passions arise from repose, and find an easy gratification. The virtues hold their even way with the civilities. Nothing compels feeling and decision- Interest in the public good slackens, and all goe3 on so indifferently well, that even the greatest genius is only half developed. But if want breaks in, if peril demands heroes, and a universal call summons the soul ; if the State is striving agaiuBt ita downfall ; if its dangers are increasing with every neglectful mo ment ; if the most frightful crisis can only be diverted by the greatest sacrifice, then all is action end great ness ; the orator waxes mighty, the genius surpasses his own hopes, courage and courtesy inspire the friend, band and heart open with equal promptitude, perform ance follows resolve, and the soul is astonished at its own powers. It finds in itself unknown virtues ; mounts even higher, and discerns from new elevations an ever widening field of duty. Great things, and things ador ed in a atate of tranquility, vanish with its flight, and man shows himself oace more a creature of the God head. SORGHUM. Pkbparinq Soil. This crop is so similar to corn in all its habits and requirements, that any one who can make a good crop cf corn can likewise make a good crop of Sorghum. For both crops, thorough ploughing is a matter of first importance. The roots of such plants generally penetrate to as great a depth as the best sub soil plough can reach. 'Ihe more deeply the soil is broken, then, the more sxtensive will be the source of nourishment ; and the more completely will the crop be guarded egainst drought It is a point of no little importance (0 have tie soil intended for Sorghum well pulverized. The young plant is not so vigorous as that of com, and conse quently, the germ when coming up makes its way through the overlying soil with greater difficulty. Clods, rough manure, or any similar obatacle may en tirely prevent tLe germ from finding its way to the open air. To avoid this difficulty, which is generally con fined to clay soils, winter ploughing should be resorted to, wherever practicable. Frost fir surpasses the bor row in reducing a cloddy surface. Manuring. Id this crop as in corn, manure can be made most available, by being applkd in the.hill; but if manure ia abundant, and the farmer pref.-rs to give the whole surface cf bis land a dressing, he may spread it broad cast, tlf, howerer, he wishes to improve both land aud growing crop to the highest degree, let the manure be applied as a top dressing, after the ground has been thoroughly broken up. If the manure is upplied some time before planting, the soluble portions are carried down by rains, become incorporated with the soil, ore more fully elaborated, and tnus rx-come ready 10 ieea the plant, as soon as its loots begin to pread thcnm-lvcs in search ot nourishment.
