x- ' nvnsvvn PI1URCHES IN VIRGINIA. . ReT.Bi.hop Meade of Virginia, during jaj lato official tour in that State, met with aconsiderable number of large, substantial and imposing church edifices, which have fallen into ruin,. apparently from the diminution of the population of tbc coun- Xrr in the ricinity. This docs noispeas weu iur Old Virginia. Tho following extract from the Doctor' sUtement will be read with interest. M My next appointment was at Westmoreland Coort House, where I preached to a small con gregation. : In passing on to this appointment, ths fold lies directly by the ruins of one of the old churches, called ' Pope Creek Church, a very Krge and square building.' ' It was Bear thia churj? b that Gen. Washington was born; and it vvas'trt'lh.t be was baptized, and here it was that be received: those early im pressions of religions which, instead of being ef. faced by age, seemed? to grow with hia growth, and "strengthen with his strength. have said that this church is now in ruins, aad I could add that about twenty-six years ago, when in , Deacon's orders I remember to have been in it with the Rev. Mr. Norris, at which timrf it was beginning to decay in the roof; but there was a congregation, and twenty-eight chil dren were brought forward for baptism. It was the first service that had been performed in it for a long tiraettid since that period it continued to decay, until -a few years ago it was set ooljre in order to prevebt injury from the falling ofYheroof on to Jhe cattle which were accustomed to shel ter there. . '';. ily next visit was to Pohick church in the vi cinity of Mount Vernon, tho seat of General Washington. I designed to perform service (Sere a Statnnta na wall a 53 II fid A V. bl)tthrOUTR BOmO tnistate no notice was given for the fqjmer day. The weather indeed Vas such as to prevent the assembling of any but those whoprjze such oc casions so much as to be deterred.flply by very strong considerations. It was still raining tfben 1 approached the house, and fonud.no one there. The wide Opened doors invited me to euter, as the v do not only tho passing traveller, but every beast of the field and fowl of the air. These lat ter, however, seemed to have reverenced the hooso of God, since few marks of their pollution are o hjo seen throughout it. The interior of the houSe being well built, is still good. The chan cel, communiontable, tables of the law, etc., are still there and in good order. The roof only is , dacayed, and at the time! was there, the rain was V -dropping on these sacred places and on other parts of the house. On the doors of the pews in gilt - letters, are still to be seen tne names ot me prin cipal families which once occupied them. How could I, while for an hour traversing those long aisles, entering tbe sacred chancel, ascending the pulpit, forbear to ask and is this the house Of God" which was built by the Washington, tho Masons, the McCarties, the Grahanv, tho Lewises, thd Fairfaxes the house in which they used to . worship the God of our fathers according to the MnonklA forma nf tha P.rIornal PVmrrVi. a nit some of whose names are yet to be found on those AamartaA nAura Ta tViia 1 Ion AafTFA in mnilliAr piece-meal away, or when some signal is given to become the prey of spoilers, and to be carried hither and thitner, and applied to every purpose under heaven i Surely, patriotism, nd reverence for the great est orpatriots, if not religion, might be effectu ally appealed to in behalf of this one temple of God. Tho particular location of it is to be ascri bed to the youthful Washington, who at a very early age, being an active member of the vestry, when it was under consideration and dispute where it should be placed, carefully surveyed ' the 'whole parish, and drawing an accurate and handsome map of it with his own hand, shewed clearly where the claim of justice and the inter est of religion required it erection. : .-It was to this church thit Washington for a long series of yearsf regularly, repaired at a dis Uncevof six or seven miles, never ncrmittinz anv company to prevent the regular observance of the Lord day. And shall it now be permitted tosmk into" ruin for wantj a hundred dollars, to arrest the decay already begun 1 The families wiich worshipped there are indeed nearly gone, , and those who remain are not competent to its complete repair. But there are immortal beings around it, and not far distant from it, who might be forever blest by tha word faithfully preached therein. The poor shall never fail out of any land, and to them the gospel ought to be preached. . ST LOUIS, MISSOURI. St Louis is situated on the right bank of the Mis sissippi, 18 ml)es below tbc mouth of the Missouri. It is about 1200 mile above New Orleans and the same distance from Pittsburg by way of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and 200 miles above the jnoutntf tbe latter stream. The town is re gularly laid out and handsomely built, chiefly of brick., The streets are broad and commodious, 'tbe more important being paved and furnished 'with good side walks. Tbe street intersect each other at right angles those running parallel with the river are named "numerically, Front or Wa ter street ; then 1st, 2-1, 3d, &c. Those running alright angles to the river and of course to the former, we named like those of Philadelphia,! Market,jCheut, Walnut, Vine, &c, after trees. Szc. This city already numbers 30,000 inhabi tants, including several villages received within the corporation limits by a late act of the State Legislature extending and enlarging its charter and privileges. This city is no doubt destined to be the great commercial emporium of the west, and to eclipse all other westerotowns in cxCBnt, wealth and im portance. If New Orleans be excepted, it even now surpasses them all in the amount of business. There are probably more steamboat arrival? and .departures here than at any other port in tbe Uni ted States. Seventy steamboats are sometimes seen at the Levoe't once I have counted nearly forty on several occasions. These boats f.ome from and are destined te all art of the , Mississippi valley from the Galf of Mexico to the mouth of the l!w Utoue, and on the upper Mississippi io us neaAvaters and to Pittsburg sad the numberless towns and cities with which this mighty stream and its tributaries are dotted through a'lesth'bf navigable waters not much less than 30,000 miles, or a .distance greater than the cir cumference of th globe 1 They are loaded to the water's edge with produce, in their southern nd eastern dectimtions ; but with merchandize i-an& the effect of euworants im ihnir UAatam an4 iWtbern trips, destined to be distributed to every tawn, village and settlement in this vast valley.

Roanoke Republican. CORRESPONDENCE. Uuifax, Sept. 23, 1813. Dear Sia : We have the honor to address you, on behalf of ihe Whig party ot the County of HaliJai, who have witnessed with admiration and delight your gallant and succeslfur efforts in support of Whig prin ciples and measure? which they sincerely believe to be inseparably connected with the honor, welfare, and best interests of the country. At the Gubernatorial election last rear, a Democratic roaiority of ePght hun dred and forty four was obtained in the Counties now composing the seveniu congressional iisim-i, as ranged by the last Democratic General Assembly, un der an unjust and infamous system ol Gerrymander ing. Tlws majority, so overwhelming, none of us, not even the most sanguine, had any hope or expecta tion of overcoming. Yetm the call of your fellow citizens,' with the most patriotic devotion to the wet fare of your Country, Highly honorable to your char acter, you entered the field of politic! discission with your competitor, and for two months, abandoning yonr business and the endearments of home, most ably and successfully sustained Whig principles before the people ; and by arguments and facts, the most satisfactory and convincing, you reduced the demo cratic majority in the district, to one hundred and fifty-five. Without the hope of being elected at the commence ment of the canvass, you magnanimously and disin terestedly made great sacrifices for the sake of princi ples and measures which you, in common with the great Whig party, hold to be of vital importance to the lasting welftire ot our beloved country. And your Whig brethren of Halifax County deem it fit and be coming, that they should offer yon soihetestitnonial of tbe high estimation in which they regaM-tne very signal service you have rendered tho Whig cause ; and, of the great respect and esteem which they foe I for you personally. Animated by thse considerations, we, as their organ, tender you the compliment of a Public Dinner at this place on Friday, tho 20tu dny of next month, or at such other time as may better suit youi convenience, and as you. may designate. Much and respectfully. Your friends and ob't. servts.O THOMAS OU8BY, A. JOYNER. WM. L. LONG, ROBT. C. BOND, B. F. MOORE, DOC IRWIN. . Hrnry K. Nash, Esq, Hillsborough. Uill$boro Oct. 3, IS 13. GentllmcR : I uavo bad the honor of receiving your tetter of the 28th ult. Tendering me the co upli mem of a Publio Dinner, to be given in the Tovn ol Halifax on the 20th of the present month, or at any other time which may better suit my convenience. Nothinz. I assure you eentlemen. would Kive me greater pleasure than to meet, once more, the Whig of the County of Halifax, and to return to the n, in person, my thanks for tbe handsome support ihey ave me in tne lata longressionai election, ou cir cumstances compel me to forego the pleasure a -.this time. As yon have truly remarked in your letter, was called upon by my friends in this Congressional District to make some sacrifice of personal conlort. and what was of still more importance io me, of much time, to canvass for a seat in Congtess, or rather, to advocate those great measure of National policy. upon the success of which, we believe, the prosperity of our country depend. 1 his, 1 cheerfully did, hold ing it to be ihe duty of every Whig, if it is deemed nrcetsaty, to make these, or if need be, much greater sacrifices in so holy a cause. If Ins services are deemed important, they should be cheerfully render ed. Taking this view of the matter, when unexpect edly, and with scarce a moment's warning, called upon to do so, I with great reluctance, but withoiu hesitation, took the post assigned me, determined to ue every effort in my power toeosure tbe succrts ol tbe VY hig cause in this District. At the termination cf the canvass, my professional duties called me from home, and, until ihe last week, have demanded all iny time, leaving tne but little to devote to my family. Under these ciicumstances, I hope I shall be pardoned for declining the honor you propose. Permit me, Gentlemen, to thank you for the man nor you have executed the duty imposed upon you. and accept assurances of the high regard and esteem or Yur friend and obedient servant, H. K. MASH.

The ravages of the yellow fever have been great in Mobile for the population, and we have noticed several instances where whole family circles have been broken up by the ruthless hand of the fell disease. Truly the followin?which we copy from the Herald, is a picture sad to look upon : AT. O. Picayune. And them , too, will lav medown mnd die Almost hourly in the day we hear of some in stances of real distress, which is sufficient ts wring tears from a heart of stone ; where some poor, untortsnate being has lost bv death all that bound him to earth, and the last tie which held their affections are Severed. A day or two since, the most hcart-rendin? in stance of affliction and calm despair was told us, wnicn we ever remember to have heard. It is this: Some two or three weeks since, a ladv of this city gave birth to a child, and while still on her bed" with debility, she was taken -with the yellow fever. Her child died, and heY husband and mo ther were seized with the same disease. In a day or two after, a yoaager brother was taken down and as all of the family, with the excep tion of one brother, was taken sick, the last one was carried to tbe house of a friend In a few days the mother, who was first taken down, died her husband followed. her shortly after. The aged mother recovered so far as to be able to go and nurd her sick boy and in the meantime, the elder brother, (he last of the fam'dyjswas also eeizea wa ue sever, me mamer watched with a mother's solicitude, the fast-ebbing life of her youngest boy, who was sinking into death's em. brace. Ere Ion? he toe diedand in a' few fflo- fucnte, when his bereaved parent saw her loss, be observed in a certain tone which too ulainhr told ef despair, "Now that he is dead, I will go home and nurse tnlast diild; aad when he is dead, L, ton, will lay t4 down aad iief Ob, who utu" vut- uy bus uoiax aim axel can tell, who can picture the agony of that beJ reaved and heart broken woman !

In the Autumn of 1825, some private af fairs callt d me into the sister kingdom; and as i did not travel, like Polyphemus, will) my ey? out, I gathered a few sample uf Irish character, amongst which was the following : I Was standing one morning at the window of mine Inn,1 when iny attention was at tracted by a scene that took place beneath. The Belfast coabh wan standing at the door, and on the roof, in frotst, sate a solitary out side passenger, a fine young fellow, in the uniform of the Connaught Rangers. Below, by the front wheel, stood an old woman, set fningly his mother, a young woman, sis- i ter or Mweetheart ; and they were all ear ! ucsi ly entreating the young soldier to descend from his seat on the coach. 4 Come down wid ye, Thady' the speak er was the old woman come down now to your oultl mother; sure it's flog you ihey will, and strip the flesh off the bones iv ye. Come down, Tlia-Tharly, darlin. It's honor, mother,1 was the short reply of the soldier ; and with clinch d hands and set teeth, he took a siifTer posture, on the Coach. Thady, come down come down, ye fool of the world come along down wid ye. The tone of the present appeal was more im patient and peremptory than the last; and the answer was 4 honor, brother and the bo dy of the speaker rose more rigidly erect than ever on the roof. 4 O, Thady, come down, sure it's me, your own Kuthlten, that bids ye come down, or ye'JI break the heart of me, Thady, jewel ; come down then.' The poor girl wrung h.r hands as she said it, and cast a look upward that had a visible effect on the muscles of the soldier's countenance. There was more ten derness in his tone, but il conveyed tbe same resolution as before. 4 It's honor, honor bright, Kathleen,' and, as if to defend himelf front ano4uer glance, h fixed his look steadfastly in front, while the renewed entreaties burst from all three in chorus, with the same answer. 4 Gme down, Thady, honey. Thady, ye fool, come down. O, Thady, come down to tne. 4 It honor, mother. Its honor, brother. Honor bright, my own Kathleen. Although the poor fellow was a private, this appeal was so public that I did not hes itate to go down and inquire into the partic ulars of the distress. It appeared that he had Jeen home, on furlough, to visit his fa mily, and having exceeded, as he thought, the term of his leave, he was going to rejoin his regiment, and to undergo the penalty of his neglect. I askeJ him when the furlough expired? 4 The first of March, your honor had luck to it of nil the black daysin the world and here it is, come sudden on me, like a shot.' . The first of March why my good fellow you have a day to spar then t lie first of March will not he here till to-morrow. It is a Leap year, and February has twenty-nine days, . j The soldier was thunder-struck, Twenty nine days is it ? you're ssrtain of that same. Oh, mother, mother the devil fly away wid yereould almanack- a basecratur of a book, to be deceaven one, after Hiring so long in the family of us. His first impulse eras to cut a caper on the roof of the coach, and throw up his cap with a loud hurrah. His second was to threw himself into tbe arms of his Kathleen ? and the third was to wring my hand off in ac knowledgment. It's a happy man,! am, your honor, for tny word's saved, and all by- your honor's means. Long life io your honor for the same. May y iive a toflg hundred and iape-yenrs every one of them.4 A j .

The fami ly of nations that acts upon this principle will never become bankrupt Economy and house hold industry constitute the great and the only sure remedy for hard times with families. That family which practices industry and frugality, and sells more than it buys, will certainly rise to wealth and independence ; whilst the one which acts upon opposite principles, will surely fall into poverty and decay. As it is wuh families, so it is with nations ; for a nation is no more than a large collection of families. To remove the pres sure of the times, let every individual buy only what he wants when he has the means to pay for it; when he has not this means, let hirn buy not at all ; and let him make his industry profit able by always selling more than he buys. 44 That man or nation is not free and indepen dent that ia always in debt, or that live? mainly upon the labor ot others.

Seldom have sorrow and sympathy teen more sincerely awakened among ue, than by the death of Mrs. Sarah Louisa . Everest, wife of the Rev. Charles W. Everest, of Hamden, Connecticut A native of the" sunny South, and a resident of less than a year in this region, the gentle and con fiding Carohniajhad won the hearts of her North ern sisters. Before the influence of her simplici ty and loveliness, every trace of stranger-feel-ing vanished, and she dwelt among them as a daughter. Advancing Spring removed her from this circle of attached tnenda in Hartford, aud saw her the tnittre68 of a pleasant, rural parsonage in their vicinity. There, she was'the charm of a new home, and every heart within its sphere reposed upon her goodness. An overflowing and chiWJJike happiness was hers, chastened by the thoughtful tenderness of woman, and the graceful sobriety of the Christian. Flowers, and the eong of birds, and all the beautiful things of nature, were dear to her. Early Summer brought them in profu sion but she lingered not among them. Ere its first month had faded, she just embraced her in fant daughteY, and laid down her fair young hear, beneath the green sod parsing from the sor rows of a mother to the joys of an angel. He, who, above all others, was wounded and brought low by by this visitation called at once to resign the being more dear to him than all the earth beside yet, by his priestly office, to gird her for her appearance in the presence of God, was deeply solaced by her preparation for" that most solemn change To him it seemed, while he ministered by her couch of death, that the spirit which had so rejoiced in its affections and duties here below, was fixing a delighted gaze upon the glories above, looking steadfastly through the clouds, to such bright re vea lings as mortal eye hath never seen, and hailing with a rapture that transcended speech, the shores of her own blessed land of rest 44 Thou art gone hence, tny beautiful!

Save that which makes His holy will mine owo.'J Thus came a plaintive voice, at even -tide When o'er the sylvan scene enchantment stole, From one who deeply mourned the buried bride, And Hope's fond visions darkened in his soul. Yet must he itrd him (or his Master's toil, And AH his ceoser at the altar's side, And sow wrtli heaveihly seed the varied soil, And eheer the drooping, and the wanderer gujde.

Then shall his gain be great, even tho4 be turn. To av tad home, his infant's tips to press, -Bantix'J at birth, from Sorrow's bitter um. je spared by flea gen, his pilgrim-path to bless.
