A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.
Diary of Sunday-school Teacher.
(BifltR lit.
Ellen R.ckwll is the next on my list. Her
father is a poor man, sometimes a fisherman,
sometimes a Jar laborer, and sometimes an idler,
but alvavt a rough, unpleasant man. Ihaveoften
thought, however, that there might have been a
aufictent palliative for te man's disagreeable
manner. For what husband can bmre a pleasant
countenance and a cheerful, agreeeble temper,
-when his home is oncomfc ruble, and his wife and
children repulsive bjxta to bis sight? In this
Jkmily w-re five children the eldest a boy of
seventeen, the second a girl of fourteen, the tLird
mv bttle sclwUr, twelve years of age: auothecgirl
cf etht, and a boy of six complete the cumber.
hen I entered the door, Ellen sat mending a
a pair cfpanulooes for her father. She was the
only person at home. Her mother was goasipping
at a neighbor's, the children were scattered about
t&e village nnder various pretexts, and the father
possibly goae a Chine, accompanied by the eldest
sea, almost a man in' stature. Ellen was glad to
ee me, bat I thought looked a5hamed of the dirty
and disorderly appearacce of the house.
"Where b your mother, Ellen," I avked.
She's at Mrs. Jones' ma'att, she answered, "I
will run directly and call her home." So drcp
ing her work, Ellen departed to seek her mother,
vbie I seated myself en a three-lagged stool to
await their return.
Just as she left the door her eldeet sister entered
with a bundle wbkh she hattily dropped into a !
tupboard behind the door, and, making an awk
ward courty and giving me a timid nod, aha
llitshed as-she sank into the nearest seat.
In the next moment the litUe girl of eight yars
tittered the door.
"Good mornug," said f to the eldest girl, and
what is your nana?'' (the family had recently
tiDtH to the village.)
-Kuth," she answered without raking her eya.
"And w hat is your little sister's name ?"
-Maggy."
Have you just returned from school," said I.
ma'am, we don't go to school."
"Whv not, there is a very good school near
htre. o you not wuh to learn to read and
vrita."
1 don't know, mav be I might, but
But what r said I.
"But mammy can't spare us to go to school."
What I have you so much to do V
-Tea, we has to go on errands, and make de
fire and fetch water."
Jut at this juncture the mother came in, puff
ig and blowing from br hurried walk. Irop
pieg a courtesy, and smiling very good naturedly
she offered m Ler hand, expreased great delight
at the honor I had conferred upon her by calling,
and then bogged me to resume my seat, for I had
rien on her ea trance,
I complied, and Mrs. Rockwell, after hurrying
her youngest daughter out to wash her soiled face
and hand.', seaud herself near me and commenced
rareaoirg a little crop-eared dog which sprang up
into her lap.
I have cot, Mrs. Rockwell," said I, "to en
u jire after my Jnindav School scholar. I hope
sue has been a good, obedient, and industrious lit
tle girl since coming to our Sunday ix-hooL"
0, yes, indeed, mu m," replied her mother, "she
is, and minds me better than any child I have
As to industry, the is the only one that will mend

your children to Sunday School also, and we will
teach them their duty in the same way. I won
der you have not done this before, Mrs- Rockwell.
" the church is so near you "
Well, now you sew ma'am, the mother an
swered, "they have not just bad the clothes to go
in, and they are all kinder proud like, though thev
be por. They don't like to tee the grand folks
luokduwn upon them in their mean rktbing.n
"Bat that is vary siily of them, Mrs. Rs.kwei1,
for they must know grand folts cannot espect
thm v apar in exnive dothinr. It they
are ln and neat, that is all the grand fulks ex
of p- o4e. ' Grand folks, as you call fkein,
Jmerally respect poor people won dress content
y with their circumstances. If jou and your
children were to appear in church nest Sunday
in expensive or fine clothes, people would say di
mi'y that yoa were putting all j our earnings on
j our backs in sinful vanity, or what is worse, thst
you did not come honeetly by them. Jfo one
would respect you half as much as if you came in
clothes such as yoa now wear, if they were only
clean and neatly put on, though they might have
a f.w patches. It is a grew; mistake of many poor
pcf le to suppcee that grand folks would respect
you less for appearing in the house of God In gar
ments suitable to your situation in life."
"Well, ma'am,' said Mrs. Rockwell, putting
down the L'p dog, and going out the door, "I will
fetch in Magy, and let her spak for herself.
Here, Mag, co.ne here; Miss Ingles wishes to
speak U you Come i j. come in at once," said she
to the child who stood out in the yard irresolute,

to the eldet girl, ' I knowyou'll not get her ; she s

T tfinno-ht of that first blush. Ruth stood all
this while with her boor.et slouched over br face,
behind the corner of the cupboard. She was not
hardened yet, for she shewed none of the boldness
of hardened sinner.- . -

do yoa say to going with Ellen and getting a new
suit, and all just for going to the Sunday School?"
said Mrs. Rockwell. - - -
Yes, what do you say to Ibis, Ruth ?" I a ked.
'I'm too big," was her laconic reply.
Not at all," I answered, "I havo had several
grown persons in my class, and many girls as Jarge
as yourself; besides, Ruth, it U never too late to
learn." I then paused awhile.
Ruth w as silent. " "
"You will come, Ruth," at length I said, "will
you not?" ' ' , '
"I'm loo Wir." said sho asin in a snllen, oheU
nate voice, which was ider.tly dwsive. and I
sai 1 no more at the time, though I resolved to
make another effrt to save poor Ruth. - - -'
There was a girl only fourte-n years of age, and
bv hron mother said to be hardened acatnst
religious ii prions. To what sore temptations
this poor girl had been subjected, no tongue could
tell, and that without one counteracting impres
sion, without one true friend to shield her from
otter ruin. - , .
I really shuddered when the bearthsss mother
pronounced her child hardened, for alas I I knew
fall well who it was that hal wrought this dread
ful dowtill cose ether than her accusing moth
er. " '
Through idleness thrinl.n. M, and st-w, tLi
mUcrable woman and her family were always m
want, and like all idle,thrifil, wasteful women,
she resorted to systematic beggary to supply that
want- Toor Ruth, from the time when she could
speak plainly and walk steadily, had been d-wmod
to the life of a street beggar. It was her regular
profiion. Beat into it by her idle, heartless,
wreUhed parent, who should rather have be-n to
her a teacher of industry, and thereby of inde- j
pendence and self-respect. . i ' .
Thus the forsaken child became hardened, if
indeed, utterly hardened she was. Wardering
always in the streets, exposed to every kind of evil
example, unguarded, unprotected, nacared for,
what hindered .the searing of bar young heart I
wht her falling into the sorest terantatione? 1 j
Home was no home for her. If she retdrned
without tiie expected meal, she was scolded, beaten,
and sent out again to wander from door to door
till "the bag" was filled.
Every time the beg?ar"s voice was raised, her
heart was more and more hardened. Every time
she was repulsed the demon raced within her.
2one cf the gentler or kindlier impulses were
touched, only U darker passions were spurred
hate, revenge, ingratitude. ; , . ..;-- "4,. s ';
In this terrible frame of mind she was met by
evil and idle companions of her own trade beg
gvy. Hand and haci in sin. and wretchedness,
this poor girl dragged on a miserable existence,
urctred for, and caring for no one. , ,, Seared,
scorched and blackened, was this young hean, pre
maturely a haraenod, aged heart. Old in all the
bad passions of desperate humanity.
In my intercourse with noodle of this clas, I
have discovered that beggary Is the undoubted
groand-work of the hardened, the shameieM. the
abandoned heart. "Who can retain thegntle im
xs$ of a feeling and susceptible heart, and take
the grudged pittance from the cold hand of the
worldly, the scornful, or the hypocrite 7
With such" word as these, poor R ith was often
greeted : " Begone I and work for bread." "Are
you not ashamed to beg. you great girl ?" (Her
mother would beat her if she refund to bf g.)
Here, take this bone and make vourself scarce.'
There s a loaf, Ruth, take it and be thankful,"
(a miserable, mouldery loaf, fit only for dogs.)
"and don't come here again for a week." "I
never give beggars money, here h a slice of meat
and bread," bread stale meat spoiled. Then
comes the maid from the kitchen w ith a dirty tin
pan of scraos fcr which she exacU a full amount
of thanks, and taunts the poor beggar with her
poverty and meaaneaa. An old ragged shawl is
thrown over her shoulders with an air of munifi
cence, when it is not fit for the rag bag. A copper
cent is placed in the dirty palm of the ragged out
cast - - " ." ' "-'!:"""" """' ' 1
Alas I for the dignity of human nature. " And
vet, this poor, forsaken, ill-used, perhaps, hardened
beggar girl, possesses an immortal soul, for whow
salvation the eternal, all-glorious Son of God, was
content to hd his precious blood! O mothers!
Chrklian, enlightened, afSuent mothers I ye, who
look aghat, shocked, disgusted, abhorrent, at this
degraded beirgar girl, fall down upon your knees,
morning, nn, and night, and thank your God
for the exalted privileges enjoyed by your pure;
Uiindtftl, high-minded, delicate daughters. Re
member w hat a wall of defunca has saved them
from the horrible fate of this poor girl and look
upon her, and such as her, with commiseration.
Put forth vour hands and save them. Snatch
the brands from trie burning. Draw them ivh
the hand of charity, true charity, within the in
fluence of the blesoed Gospel. Then will they
be clothed, and in their right mind. And ye will
be blessed of the Lord, who careth for the poor
and dutrewed."
Ruth could'nl como to the Sunday School, be
cause there was now no lovo in ber heart for such
teachings. Sue would not come to Church, be
raue she would there, alas I meet with some who
had, at their own doors, spoken harshly to her,
and shamed, her for doing what her nictber com
pelled her to do beg ; tut bad never said to hor,
"come, put on a decent garment, and go with me
to the bouse of God, where the rich and the poor
meet together, and the Lord la the maker of them
all.' - . ...
In her heart she bated, she defied them.
Since Ellen's voluntary attendance at the Sun
day School, I have often visited her at her home,
and endeavored to persuao her brothers andis
terstosaare our instructions, but they did not
ih it, or they were going on some excursion, or
their-par-nts saw no cue in a undav School. The
father was a gruff, rough man, and used profane
language. I was somewhat timid and did not
venture much cnvoriti-"n with him. I bad lit
tle con i ience in my eloaacnce, tboarh much In
th eSewcy of Gospvl teaching, hoping much from !
me gooa seea wnicn wouia .oe tn around that
desolate hearth, by the band of my one little pupil
Ellen; who had come forward as if by the prompt
inn of ti e good Spirit, like a little -dove to
bar t.:e olive branch to those forsaken rxjoole.
Ellen very soon learned to read, and took great
delight in her Bible and Sunday School books.
She often told me how she had "read the Bible to
th family in the evenings, when she could get a
bit of candl. nd how much they became inter
ested in what she read. So it came that in my re
cent visits I found them all more inclined to re
sjiect and lUten to ma I was now expected regu
larly, and that was somethiag gained. ,

VS??EP union wwtfTWH
In the .General Assembly of the Old School
Presbvterian CKurch, on the 1 1th instant, the Rev
Dr. Breckinridge spoke at iengtn in oji-." -the
proposed union of the two divisions of that
Church. He deemed the union unadvisable, and in
possibl,andattheclo.e,of his speech he submitted
t:,e following dei-larationon the "i.bjoct for the en
dorsement -of the Assembly :
In the matter of the proposals made to tlmu.-n-
School Preebvterians rending in several or in.
Southern Stat'ea who have seceded from that de
nomination at and after the General Assembly of
1837, this General Assembly makes' the following
deliverance: t . ,
Although thecommittee appointed by the Synod
of the United Presbvterian Church have inot com
municated to this General Assembly the official
papers which that body is understood to have
adopted expressive of their own peculiar views,
and of the conditions swse qua now, of the conter
enee proposed to this Assembly , neverthels the
contents of those papers being in fact known in
this Aswmbiy, wo are not at liberty to act as it
we were Ignorant of them. And in the judgment
of this Assemblv those official papersdo not afford
a tais of conference upon which this Assembly is
sblo to see that there is any prospect of advancing
the interests of Christ's kingdom in general, or
those of the Presbyterian Church in the I nited
States, or those of the 'United Synod of the Pres
bvterian Church in particular.
I The Presbyterian Church in the United States of
America has always received frankly and with"
Christian love all churches, office-bearers, and
private per"!. ot I! denominations, making ap
plication for admission into her communion, upon
the single condition that they were like) mind!
with herself. At this time ample proiion is
made in her acts and ordinance for the reception
of all such into her communion on terms and by
methods precisely equivalent, and, where it Is pos
sible, identical with those provided with regard to
her own children reared in our bowni. Seeing
that it wa in a voluntary secession from the Pres
byterian Church that tne present difficulties of
the United Synod of the Presbyterian Church
had their origin, and 'that the door has nl ways
beon open for th orderly return of sucITuf thoe
who leit us or were like minaed with us, it can
hardly be unexpected that we decline uny official
conferenc basd on terms which appear to us to
involve a condemn atiou of ourselves and a renun
ciation of the rich and peculiar jxwor of God upon
nn, in th very matters which led to their seces
gion from our church twenty years ago.
With referrence to the reccnt sohiam in the
New School Presbyterian body, this General As
sembly does not see in that event, or in any thing
which has hitherto resulted trom it, any call or
Providence for the Presbyterian Church to take
any new step whatever, either with the view of
union or that of closer intercourse than now exist
with oither of the parts into wnich that body is
now divided. 'The subjects upon which the whole
New School body differed from us at the period oi
the separation from us, and the subject upon
which the two very unequal portions of that body
have recently separated from each' other, are at
peace : and with regard to the whole of which we
see no occasion to revise the constant and unaltera
ble faith of our church, or to enter into fruitless
conferences. j
After this declaration had been read the As
sembly proceeded to other business which had
been assigned as a special order. Subsequently,
however, it was unanimously adopted.
From the Charleston Mercury.
THE NORTH CAROLINA COALFIELDS.
We especially call the attention of all the friends
of the Checa w and Coal Fields Railroad, and more
especially of those of Charleston, to the following
article, which we copy from the Spirit of the Age,
published at Raleigh, North Carolina Evidences
are multiplying daily of the inexhaustible wealth
of the coal and mineral region, accessible by the
Cheraw and Coal Fields Railroad. This region
is becoming known to the world,and its value recog
nised. Hence the interest manifesteid in several
directions to reach, by Railroad, that valuable re
gion. .
And in this connection we would direct atten
tion to the fact that an outlet by the Coal Fields
Railroad is not contemplated East, North or West
of that region. And further, that such outlet is,
and will be opposed by , the supposed rivals of
that route. Ilence, tha importance of immediate
steps to secure some way, the Charter granted by
the last Legislature of North Carolina. Should
this opportunity slip, we fear the conseqaences,
knowing as we do, the opposing interests. We
hurriedly allude to this matter now, and hope
soon to be able to refer to it more at length.
Natioxal Fo0mwbt Dkcp Rivr MLXK8.
No State in the Union has been a more steady,'
loyal supporter of the General Government that
North Carolina. .None have contributed more
readily its full share, toward the development and
progress of the nation,. and yet none have receiv
ed as little in the way of public benefit. An op
portunity U now afforded Congress to do her jus
tice. The establishment of a National Foundry
in the South has been recommended by the pro
per officers, and steps have been taken to urge
the claims of ; North Carolina before Con
gress. We hope they will be pressed warmly.
The Deep River region offers inducements su
perior to any other locality in the Union. Its
immense beds of coal and iron ore of every ne
cessary variety, abundance of timber and building
materials its accessibility, climate, agricultural
products, and immense water power, render it the
most desirable location for a Foundry in the whole
country.- And while it presents every possible ad
vantage to the General Government, it is particu
larly desirable because of. the influence such an
institution would exert, fin developing the re
sources of the Mines, and pushing on to rapid
completion the railroads and other facilities for
conveying to market their rich products. Let
the claim of our good old State bo pres.ied
urgently by citizens of all sections and all par
ti. The entire State of North Carolina have a deep
interest in the development of the mineral re
sources of Deep, River, and fe have been not a
little surpri'd that the press, and public-spirited
citizens of North Carolina have not seen it or felt
it more. .
: Let the General Government give us the Na
tional Foundry, and let the State and its citizens
complete, the Railroad from Fayetteville to the
Vai i leids; ant inen push it on to High Point
and beyond, then a branch road from the Mines
V Raleigh, and finally, Ibe improvments on Cape
Fear and Deep R:ver, at the earliest possible mo
ment, and if North Carolina does not double her
means and resources in the next twenty years, we
shall be greatly deceived.
We are assured upon the highest authority that
the amount of coal and iron, in that region, is al
most inexhaustible; if so, ail that is lacking
for eminent success, , is the facilities for reach
ing the ocean. . With the facilities indicated
above, the coal and iron of Deep River would be
placed within a day and night of the ocean, en
abling our miners to compete with the world in
furnishing those useful articles. Let us have the
Foundry and the Western Railroad in quick
time. , ' .'' 1 ' . . .

The most interesting among them, is a note to
Lord papier, dated May 4th, in which Secretary

ing in: the public journals, that a merchant vessel of
the United btates, the N. B.'Bofden, had been
fired at and boarded by a" British vessel of war,
the Styx, off the coast of Cuba,' and had informed
him that he had received no official information
upon the subject, and therefore could say nothing
as to the truth of the report, but that he had
taken measures to ascertain whether such an oc
currence had taken place, s i , r. ! f
Lord Napier replies, on May 16th,. that he had
the honor of receiving Mr. Cass' letter, convey
ing an account of the circumstance which are
alleged to have attended the boarding of the
American vessel-N. B. Borden by Her Majesty's
steamer Styx. , He says he has transmitted copies
of Mr. Cass' communication to Her Majesty's
Government and to the Commander-in-Chief of
Hr-Majesty's forces oa the West Indian station.

A TALE OF HORRORSAN INCARNATE
- , , FIEND-. t- .
Gov, McWillie, of Miss., is charged- by the
Vicksburg Southron with having pardoned out of
the penitentiary a man named Dyson, who had
assassinated another man named N elms,, for which
he was simply sentenced to the prison for 14 years.
That paper says of the criminal : . . ' . .
, He waylaid his . victim, with whom - he had a
deadly feud ; brought him down at the first shot,
and then, emerging from his hiding place, taunt
ed ha dying victim with words of insult and re
proachj and finally concluded by placing the muz
zle of hia gur to the body of Nelms and firing a
second time.? lhia shot produced instant death,
and so close was the gun to the 'victim that the
flesh of the murdered man was burned bv the ex
plosion. Having completed the work of slaugh
ter, he deliberately mounted his horse, rode to
the house of Nelms, called his wife out, informed
her that he had murdered her husband, and di
rected her where to find his mangled corpse. '
A)yson is a bloodstained, blood-thirsty, -incarnate
fiend. He is not a man, but a ferocious ti
ger, and Gov. McWillie "has no more right to
turn such a beast loose upon the community than
he has to open ihe cages of a whole caravan of tf
gers. - His antecedents are; well known,-tod, and
they should have forbidden all hope of Executive
clemency, i The murder of Nelms was not his first
taste of blood, i He had previously, in a most cow
ardly manner, murdered a lawyer named Moss; of
De Soto county, by shooting him in the back as
Moss rode from him. He had murdered three of
hia own negroes, and one of them in a manner so
horribly appalling jas to cuse the death, cf bis
own wife, ,. This occurred at his own table, and
the victim of his fiendish rage was a woman.
Taking offence at something the woman did, or
omitted to do, while waiting at the table, he rose,'
drew a bowie knife, and, with a single blow,' rip
ped her open, i His wife swooned,-and when he
awoke to consciousness, he had cut the negro's
heart out, and with it upon hia knife, he thrust it
into her face ! , She swooned again, and the result
of her horror apd fright brought on convulsions,
from the effects of which she soon died. It . .-
- Dkath or Gen. Pxrsifxb F.' Smith. The
death of the commander of the Utah expedition,
was announced in our last paper. . Though in ill
health it- was. at his earnest request that he was
Appointed to the command of the expedition, re
plying to the remonstrances of hisr friends by say
ing that he could .not die at a better place than
at hia post,, and with "his harness on.". The
Union of yesterday has the following sketch of
his life: ' " - , ' " -'.:'"'
General Smith , at .the time of his death, was
about sixty-five years of ago. He was-born in
Pennsvlvania, the son of an eminent citizen of
that State, the late Judge Smith. ; On arriving at
manhood he removed to New Orleans where he
passed the greater
part of his life,, filling many
civil and judicial
offices in that city, with great
credit and distinction. After a short service as a
volunteer in the eminole war, he returned to
his duties in that city. In the midst of these du
ties, in the spring of 1846, the news of the alarm
ing gituation oi Gen. Taylor at JBio Grande, when
pursued by Arista and Ampudia witb overwhelw
mg forces, reached New Orleans and fired the
military ardor of (Gen. Smith to such a degree
that he abandoned a most lucrative and valuable
office, and proceeded to organize a large force of
volunteers - to reinforce Gen. Taylor, , It waa by
the express wish of Gen. Taylor that Una com
mand was given to Gen. Smith. The result of
his labors in the organization of this force exhib
its the most wonderful instance in our history of
the military-resources and spirit of-; our people as
well as of the high qualities of this gallant officer.
In six j weeks!-time; five regiments; all equipped
and in an excellent state of organization, were on
their way to join Gen. Taylor. . This timely re
inforcement enabled thelatter General to proceed
more rapidly and Vigorously in the capture and
occupation -of the Mexican territory along the
Rio Grande, and on the forward march into the
interior of the country. . When the volunteers
were disbanded General Smith was retained in
the army, as one of the head Brigadier Generals ?
and then, for the firat time,'in 1847," entered upon
the life which he had so long desired, as a regular
professional soldier ? On the organization of the
mounted rifles, General Smith, was appointed to
the colonelcy," and when the hew brigadier gene-,
ralship 'war created :' during thelate admipistra-f
tion, he received the commission td fill it." - '
General Smith leaves a widow,' and a son
his, first wife, no wl a distinguished physician of
New Orleans.--- " y s- 1 1-; - .'.
