Six months hare elapwd since we became th Editor and Proprietor of this paper. As we did not baj anj of the deM due to the oto at tb time of sale, we bad nothing due to as which we eonld collect, and, therefore, wf are- eonsiderablj in d ranee to iW-effie in paring its expeases. A f00 e now due to n, both for ub?ripUon3 and adrer- .iL;. Ro.i.a hiring paid the first instalment due on the purchase of the oHice, we hare within the latt week, as onr friends will se, put the paper in new tjpe, besides purchasing an j amount of the best and most modern job mi. terisl, which will enable ns to do that descrip tion of work as well, and on as reasonable terms as cm be obtained at anj similar es tablishment. Oar personal an J political friends will be pleased to know that the subscription lUt of the rtCQl.sTCa has increased a good- deal, and the other business of the office, to wit : ad vertisements and job work, in a similar ratio. No diminution of effort on our part to give utl'faeticn to onr friends, will ever give ap one of them cause for parting company with ns. We would suggest to those bo are in ar rears for subscriptions, that bj remitting the amennts due ns tbej mtj saTe to the ease of the Weeklj 50 cents, and iu that cf the Semi-Wceklf 51 ; as 53 will be charged for the one, and 53 for the other, at the expira tion of one rear from tho date cf subscrip tion.

We to-day redeem our promise to lay be fore onr readers the comments of the Ricb Eond Sonth," on WaLCTe's address when taking the Executive Chair of ths Territory of Kansas. We had expected that onr neighbor of the ''Standard would Lave been more plain- spoken on the subject uf Walker' address r than he was in Lis last issue. It is true, he says that Walker had no right to argue" the question, whether or not the soil and cli. " mate of Kansas are favorable to slavery, and this is the only thing he condemns, although he must have seen, as did the South, that the drift of Walxxr's address, was to dis courage and diseonntenanoe the efforts used to make Kansas, whose soil and climate are notoriously favorable to slavery, a alave Ter ritory, and in the sequel a slave State, and at the same time encourage and give the eonntenance of his executive - position to the advocates of "free Kansas. Perhaps, however, the Editor of the Standard had not time to go further into the subject in his last issue, and we shall hear from him at another time. We warn him to be cautious what he does nay. It is a tioklrh position for him. He msy,if not very careful, find himself as much at points with Mr. BccrJAii an on the Kansas businees, as he is on the questions of Distribution and the Pacific Railroad, for it is plain that if Walkxe is a "propagandist of Abolitionism," Mr. Been as an is also a "propagandist of Abolitionism as nobody will believe that WaLKts acted either with out, or in defiance of, Mr. Bcchaxan's in structions. If, however, he did so, either Mr. BrcoAKAX must repudiate or remove him, or stand endorser for bim. Which will be do wVoit rerroas. riRiu A fire broke out on Thursday evening in the kitchen cf Mr. David Rotstes, on Ilargett Street, which together with the moke-house, was consumed. The flames spread to the shed room of the dwelling bouse, which was damaged to tb amount of 8 ICO. Considering that these structures were both of wood, and water by no means uper-abundant we think the firemen, and those ci'iienj who co-operated with them, deserve moch credit for arresting the progress cf a fire, which at one time, threatened to do S good leal of mischief. The fire was caused tj Ihe accidental ignition of some shatings lj the kitchen. ' - J Besides this fire, we Icirn thai the build ing on Flalifax Street, at present occupied bj the RevJllr puisnes, took fire on Thurs day afternoon from a burning chimney. The roof was very dry, and took firo in several J laces. Fortunately, thoee employed at the lepot of the Raleigh and Uaston Railroad discovered the fire, and hastening to the , scene, soon extinguished it. A CAKD.

As the read era of the Register are aware, a aeries of ar ticles have appeared in the Fajetterille Ob server and in this paper, ia reference to onr publication of a letter, written by Badwaj & Co., which the Fajetteville Observer pro nounced libellous, and for publishing whiob, ita Senior Editor threatened us with a prose ' cution, and at the same time declared1 his purpose of cutting the Register from his ex- t nliMitMA llt AT V I n n ara lima ft f 4imA aaw V t i & . . . onsrse assaults upon ns by the Editor of the Observer, we fin illy declared onr purpose to take no further notice of the Fayetteville ObaerYefwbeYeupon theBenior Editor of that paper published the following article, which in point of deceney and true christian, feeling, stands unrivalled in , the annals of joarnalism ! Let a discriminating publio read this, and while they do so, remember that the writer is an open professor of the faith of " the meek and lowly Jesus, and that at least upon one occasion, when asked to account for the compliments he likes so much to pay, has thrown himself behind said profession of religion, and thus obtained i immunity from just punishment : Th rerr conceited and particularly malignant ' F.

But he will be verv careful not to state, that the Reverend Editor of that paper has voluntarily sent us a writ uti eiplanazion and apology for the publica tion. .Herein ne acted lixe a C nrmian and a eentleuian, and decidedly tinkle the Editor of the loutex. The course of the Editor of the Rgifter is of eey explanation. It has originated in' one of the iu-anot filings of human nature. Before he came into Xorth Carolina, he expressod the highest W3p.-ct for the Observer and its Senior Editor. It was on lv last Fall that he complimented the utter in the rood cmpnatic manner, if we recol lect aright, fr integrity, ahility, influence, &c. .cr. s.uce be nas come to iscrtn Cavonna, he has luddiulv discovered that tha aforesaid Senior bccomes.puerility - .What oan have efleeted rocl Editor u in his " second childhood when senility a marvellous change in the Senior Editor In the short space of e.ght months ?

Upon the appearance of this article so al ternative was left tons but the following course which speaks for itself: i Ralkioh, June 6, 1857. K. J. Hale.

E. J.

We, therefore, leave it to- an honest and discriminating public to determine wheth-1 er a man has a right to shelter himself he- j hmd a profession of .religion for the purpose 01 assailing, wun impunity,7 uxe . a common brawler and stabber of character, the reputa tions of better men than himself. We are dow done,nd foreTer, with E.

COXING HARTE8T. Corn meal is' selling in this City at from f 1 40 to ?1 50. Flour at f 8 60 a barrel, and Lard at 20 cents per pound. Tough prioes these for those whose means do not go up with the prices. But, thank Heaves, we have reason to look forward to speedy relief, as aooounrj from' all the wheat growing sec tions of this State and Virginia, testify with great unanimity to the favorable prospect of an abundant harvest, which, if not marred by some unexpected and pervasive disaster, snust put Jown5 the price of breadstuff. From the North-west, North and East, the following are the joyful tidings : - - Crop PaosrKcrs. A letter from Peratomia, Illinois, to the New York Tribune, dated June 1, says "One of my neighbors has sown 200 bushels of wheat extra," another 100, &o. The wheat crop in this Ptate never looked more promising than it does to-day, and there is at least one-third more sown this year than ever before. It is so with the corn and everything else. Should nothing un forsoen cut them off, this will be emphatically the year of great crops." ' A letter from S wanton, Vermont, sy3 : "The seed has never been put ip in better order, and promises an abundant harvest. Grass never looked better, and the prospects for a Urge crop are very flattering indeed." Another correspondent writes from Ottawa, Illinois, June 1 : "Thbportion of the State promises a good har vest The winter wheat in many places has suf fered material! v from the hard winter, notwith standing the farmers say they wilt have a fair crop." ' Extract from a letter, dated Yergennes, Ver mont, June 1: "Spring verv backward : much rain has fallen : consoquenely all kinds of farm-work are far be hind ; very little corn is planted and much leas than the usual quantity of grain sowed. However, what little is up promises well. Qns& is verv fine, and farmers generally anticipate a large yield." A letter from Columbia county. Wisconsin. dated June 2d, says:. ' Farmers in this vicinity are sanguine of har vesting more than an average crop of wheat this season, both of winter and spring. Early in the spring, winter wheat looked bad, but the warm weather and copious rains have changed iU ap pearance greatly, and now (June 1st) it looks better than for several years past at the same date." The Trenton (N. J.) American of the 6th says : "A most extraordinary chaiure has takan pUce h the appearance of the crops within the last V Zt??

The New School Presby terian General Assembly, recently in session there, having received a fresh infusion of the Abolition sentiment from the Churches and clergymen of the Northern States, ednce the last Assembly, could not resist the temptation to stir up the slave question anew, and so,! as soon as the legitimate business of the Assemble was eat rid of. such ac - . aa o --7 tion was had, in referenceTto the Southern Churches as would hereafter ' make the " sin of slavchold ing," the basis of discipline by the Courts of the Church. The Southern Churches refused to sub mit to this proceeding, and deeming it no longer consistent with the self-respect, or the good of the Church, to remain in fellowship with the brethren who had thus rvktu Ally , excommunicated them from the Assembly, have, SSHVied an address, set ting forth the reasons which compelled the step, addressed to the Hinfeters and Churches in con nexion with the General Ai-iembly of the Presby terian Church. The address is calm and temperate throughout, apr.areri.tly written more in sorrow than in anger : " We had hoped that our Lrethern who have been disposed to introduce, this subject into the Ueneral Assembly would ere thus have been con vinced that no good could result to the church from this agitation that it was alienating brethern of a common Christian faith, and was calculated to render the condition of the slave more undesira ble, and to sunder the ties that bind our union to gether. In this regard we hatfe been sadlv dis appointed. In consequence of the political agitation of the subject, and of the presure brought to bear upon them by Congregational .Churches holding the most ultra Abolition sentiments, many of our -Western Presbyteries Lave become more urgent in demanding progressive action of the Asrembly. They have not been yatisfied with the past declara tions of the Asemblv. They have desired the 'Assembly to express its views of the sin of slave- holding so clearly that they can be made the basis of discipline by the courts of the Church. This action has now been virtually taken by the As sembly. Is has avowed the relation of master and servant which necessarily involves the idea of property in the services of the latter is a sin in tlie sight of God, and an offence in the sense in which the term is used in the Constitution of the Church. This declaration has been made, although confessedly there is not the most ;remote allusion to slaveholding in our standards, and also with the knowledge of the fact that when our Constitution was adopted twelve out of the thirteen States were slaveholding States, and many of those who com posed the Assembly of 1789," if not slaveholders themselves, were the representatives of Pres byteries in which were, churches whose members were slaveholders. With regard to the action of the General Assembly as a palpable violation of the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the Church. The principle involved in it if carried in to practice, would convert th'e highest judiciatory of the church into an ecclesiastical despotism as that which has distinguished the Church of Borne. It makes the Assembly not only the interpreter of law in an irregular way, but also the supreme legislature of the Church a position which has been always repudiated by the Presbyterian Church. ' ' . . " Apart, therefore, from the disastrous con sequences resulting from the agitation of the sub ject of Slavery in the General Assembly destroy ing, as it does, our pence, keeping us in a state of excitement unfavorable to spiritual growth, and paralyzing our efforts to advance the cause of our Redeemer through the channel of our admirable system of government we consider that the As sembly has so far departed from the Constitution of the Church as to render our adherence to it un desirable and impossible. . Having protested re peatedly against this agitation, and finding that our. brethren are determined to continue it, we have deliberately and prayerfully come to the conclu sion that, however painful it may be to us, the good of the Church and of the country required a sep aration from them. We shall hold our. brethren, who have disturbed our neace hv the introduction of this vexed question intoourjudicatories, as alone responsible for tne consequences of this division Annexed to this Protest is a call for a Presbyte rian Convention from all section cf the country, to meet In Convention in thocity of Washington; on the 27th day of August, 1857, for the purpose of consultation and of organizing a General As sembly, in which, it will be distinctly understood, the subject of slavery will not be introduced.

" Abolitionism" has thus won another grand triumph. The Presbyterian Church has spilt on the same rock on which the Methodists, the Bap tists, and the Unitarians have lo?t whatever of National unity they could once boast.

Xeu York Express. ' i ; THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION AND THE TRACT SOCIETY. ; By an almost unanimous Vote; the Baptist As sociation of Virginia, on Monday, resolved to with draw their countenance and support from the American Tract Society, in consequence of its re cent action in relation to the slavery question. . ; The cause which impelled the Baptist Associa tion of Yirgina in the course which they have pursued may be found in the following paragraph which is one of a series of resolutions passed by the American Tract Society: .. ;;.Vj That in the judgment of your Committee, the political aspects of slavery lie entirely without the proper sphere of this Society, and cannot be dis cussed in its publications; but that those moral as veil as those moral evils and vices which it ii Jcmown to. -promote, and which are condemned in Scripture and so much deplored by evangelical Chris tians, undoubtedly do fall within the wovince of this Society, and can and ought to be discussed in a fraternal and Christian spirit , Hail Storm iw Johnston Countt.

' riot in uiu citr, . at wmca some ten or a aozen teaeeable citizens were shot down bv a band of Irish soldiers - h WASHDfQTOK, June 8, 1857 To the Editor cf the Richmond Whig: Gxutlxmew It is not at all surprising that tne press tnrougnout tne country snouid join in the hue and cry of denunciation against the Ameri cans of this city, on account of the recent disgrace- fbl and criminal transactions in the 4th ward of the city. 1 say it is not At all surprising it is what might be expected from the statements of the facts and circumstances given by the papers of uiu ptace, every one of wmcu, sympauumng wna the an ti Americans, have given accounts of the disturbances riot, if you please which happened ou vat uay oj .tne municipal election, wnicn are stronerlv tinired with 1 their own feeUnsrs rather than suoh ea accord with the facts; nor have the Americans here a paper through which they can oe heerd and contradict tne cross and wilful mis representations indulged in by some of the admin. istration Journals, and acquiesced in by others. - That there were some few young men and bovs here from Baltimore, who are known as Know Nothings, no one will deny; but their number was small, and, so far as I can learn, they came here "upon their own hook'' and responsibility; but I am also assured by those upon whose veracity I rely, that there were a much greater number of anti KnoW' Nothings here from the same citv. auite as ready for a riot as those of the other side ; but the papers here, whose indignation against the " Plug Ugiies" is so exceedingly strong, nave not lisped a word about the Empire Club from Baltimore. That tnere was a disturbance at one of the polls of the 4th ward, early in the morning, la not denied ; but it was not of that riotous character which has been represented. It Was soon quelled and order restored ; and at the time the Marines were sent for and came on the ground, I have Democratic authority for saying that there was no disturbance whatever: all was auiet. and the votin? was ro- ing on' peaceably and orderly. There was no dis turbance at any time that could not be quelled by a small police force in fifteen minutes.

The calling tor the Murines by the Mayor is unhesitatingly condemned bv some of his own actirrf riersonal friends, two of whom, at least, have declared that the killing of those men near the poll was mur- ider; and one of the two added, "without any palliating circumstances most atrocious mur der." .. r . , M. : One would suDDOse bv the outcrv that has been raised against "the bloody Know-Nothings," that they had got possession of the whole city, and were burning tne houses and massacreing the in habitants, without regard to age or sex ; when in truth, the disturbance.; was a mere momentary one, and not more threatening than those that very often occur at elections. ; ', i learn to-dav that the Secretarv of War has taken the rifles from the American R"iHe company, upon the pretence that they ; were not safe in the Armory of this company, which is a room in the City Hall f But I have not learned that he has taken the arms in their possession from the Mpnt gom$y Guards, an Irish company, though their armory 'is in a building, part of which is occupied as a liverv stable !
