We wish to say something and to
say it so plainly that none can fail to
understand us. Some moetbs ago Dr.
David Swing, a preacher of no par
ticular religion, iu Chicago, wrote! a
paper for the North American Re
view on tbe weakness and imbe
cility of the Southern pulpit. All
Southern men knew it was1 ft -lander,
and but few cared what Dr. Swing
had said or might say. We refer to
this to note the appearance of the
first number of The Southern Pulpit,
published in Richmond, Vai, and
in Richmond. Vs. and
edited by Rer. H. M. Jackson (Epls-
copal) and Rer. . J. Laffcrty (M
thodist). We have not seen it, bnt
hare seen the contents mentioned of
the first number. We have a some
what extended knowledge of the
leading divines of this country of ill
denominations. We do not hesitate o
say that the persons contributing to
the first number of this new Southern
candidate, which we hope will be
most liberally aastsioed, will com
pare in ability, learning, eloquence,
and high Christian character, with
the same number of men to be found
in the North. Some ef tbe contribu
tors hare passed over the rirer, but
Mtheir works do follow;them." Among
the contributors to this mi tltm ru

minutest detail,-try David Sadgwar, one of
our colored carpenters, while all of the
Iron work for the .acid chamber, furnaces
was cast at the foundry of Messrs. Hsrt,
Bailey & Oa, in this city. All the work,
which was executed under the supervision
of .QW.543.iii, Grafiin, :off lUe Navassa
Company, of Wilmington, waj done is a J
workmanlike' manner and at prices, we are
told, entirely satisfactory to the purchasers.
This affords a striking proof of what our
mechanics are capable of doing, and is
quite a'pleataat-er&efice of the 'spirit . of"
enterprise in cur midst. ;
We learn that the acid chamber above
referred to is to be one of the largest in the
United States.
The Wood Famine.
The, article of wood, which jsxone that
has been in rery general demand since the
present, somewhat remarkable winter Set
in, still continues rery scarce and high in
this market. Yesterday black jack was

per cord. In the latter city, ovlngtohe
clamor raised in regard to the 'extortion
claimed to bV exercissd' by de14i tbe
usual rate of $4 per cord is now being made
to prerali, -and the Ntwt-Obrter says
" there Is hearty and lott4 condemnation of
any raising of the price." The famine
sesms also to prevail tin Salisbury, as the
'Watchman says "some benevolent citizens
hare ar ranged to bate flvs flat-car leads of
firewood , brought down the Western load
for the relief .of the .poor and destitute."
There is ao doubt much suffering amotr
