In one of the western counties a colporteur THited ooe hundred and forty-six families, in which there were four hundred and thirty-nine fouls over ten years old, not one in twenty could read, but few attended evangelical Phint aerenty-two of the families had no Bible, and ninety-two no religious books, and no way of eeUine them unlsa they are carried to their Eous,forthe-e U not a book-store within one hundred mites of them.

" In an' eastern c-nintya colporteur writes: "I visited one hundred and fifteen families in which I found many in great neglect and ignorance, but willing to receive instruction and books after I explain my work. The greatest difficulty is, that there are so many poor wretched familiea who cannot read. The father ol one of tbesa famiiea recently met me and thanked me for my visit to his house, saying that it had caused him to start his children to the common school, which he before cared nothing for. wneni nrsi visiiea this fimilv I found the parent and six children so very ignorant f booka, that I spent the time in talking to them about the value of good books, suitable ones to them, urged him to send his chil tron ia arhool. and uoilad with them in prayer." This colDOrteur also writes: "I went to a politi- ffMta anal talked with manv about their souls.

Y on the 7th insl., two painters one named jonn ris&Dack, wno bad been drink ing, ascended to the dome of St. Patrick's church, to do a iob of painting. Sixtv-one feet from the ground is a narrow ledge or cornice, from two to three feet wide, running around tbe base of the .dome. Upon this ledge the two men had been at work for some time, having previously finish ed the painting above by means of ladders fasten ed Irom tne cross on tne summit or toe dome.

V . From the National Intelligencer. AN UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION. A corwnident in th 3 Stale of Mississippi ap- plie to ua for authentic information in regard to the ciraumstancea attending the passage of the bill - prohibiting the slave trade in the District of Co in mbia, as one of the measures which formed a nri nf tho "Great Adiustnoeni" concerted in tne vMr l8no. He also desires us. to give a correct 1 statement of the position assumed by Mr. Bell in tne debate mat was naa on mat Euoiect m mo txu- 1 ate of the United States.' These positions, we learn from our correspondent, are drawn into question some of Mr. Bell's political opponents in the State of Mississippi, for the ' purpose -of imputing to him a uwant of soundness" upon the relations of slavery under this head, j As the pertinacity witn wmcn tuis cnarge is K a rtertain class of politicians at the South against all who are not Democrats doos not depend upon the amount or the nature of the facts that can be cited to justify it, we aie not in the habit of noticing any of the accusations brought against Mr. Bell on this score, because we are well assur ed that intelligent readers of all parties have suffi ciently learned to disregard this cuckoo cry, which has so long been raised nominally in the interest of slavery, but really in uhe interest of party. It ia only as tne latter is in pern mai tuoeo avu-ny-pointed guardians of Southern rights grow propor? tionally dubious about the capability or any otners than themselves to defend the palladium of South- ern society. But as in the preeent case the queries of our cor respondent relate to the District of Columbia, in which we reside, and as, for this reason, we might be supposed especially cognizant of the facts to which our attention is called, we take leave to say that the objections brought against Mr. Bell for the part he took in the discussion of the act pro viding for the suppression of the slave trade in this District are without any foundation, or even colorable pretext. The views he announced on that occasion, and the votes wbich he gave in the Erepar story stages and on the final passage of the ill, were shown by the explanations which he gave at the time to be inspired by that same comprehen sive and judicious statesmanship wbich he has displayed at other critical periods in our civil histo ry. A brief recital of (acts will set this Whole mat ter in a clear light. " .... . - 1, - . 1 .1 : . . i. Tne but ongmaiiy inwouuceu mi mo iuw under this head, as the but of the compromise maasnrea of that date, made simple provision against the prosecution of the slave trade in the iJlStrielOl uoiunioin jh mo ju ui ocKiumi, 1850. Mr. Pearce. of Maryland, moved to amend it by appending three additional sections, offered, as he stated, at the instance and suggestion of the corporate authorities of Washington. Of these additional sections two provided penalties lor the enticement of slaves to escape from their own ers, and proposed a method of awarding compen sation to owners actually damaged by the abduc tion of their servants. A tniid section erected prohibitions against the ingress and habitancy of free persons of color within the District of Colum bia. These amendments were opposed by Mr. Clay and others,on the ground that,however proper they might be in themselves, they were not germane to the particular subject an'd purpose of the bill before the Senate. On the other hand, the propri ety ot their passage was advocated by many South ern Senators, not only because the objecta propos ed were legitimate in themselves, but because they would give strengtn ana symmetry to a measure which, without them, might possibly be regarded as a pure and simple concession to the exactions of Northern prejudice. Among those who enter tained mis opinion was -ur. ueu , iuu tuoreiuutu he made in vindication of this view clearly dis close the convictions of public duty under which he acted in voting for the amendments of Mr. Pearce, and, when these were defeated, in voting f against tbe bill itself.

How such a posi tion as thisshouldbe arraigned for a wantof loyalty to the South must pass the comprehensions of all who do not sufficiently allow for the virulence and injustice of partisan denunciation. , The remarks made at the same time by Mr. Bell with regard to tbe constitutional power or von gress over slavery in tbe District of Columbia, and the inexpediency of its present exercise for the abolition or slavery, even 11 sucn a power were j conceded to be plenary as well aa exclusive, are , so plain that, as it seems to us, their mean in g can be misconstrued by none save those who have a purpose to subserve by the garbled texts we have seen quoted under this head. Just as little foun dation can we see for the deductions drawn by political prejudice, from certain hypothetical pro positions announced by Mr. Bell ia the same speech on this subject.. We cannot perceive any disloyalty to the South in the declaration that "t the sentiment of the adjacent Slates, and of the South generally, were inflamed on the subject," he would prefer to see slavery abolished in this District rather than it should remain as an "opon question," to be the fruitful source of prolonged agitations.- Expressly premising that his remarks were based on a supposed state ef facts, he ques tioned whether-tho abolition of slavery ia thu District, with the voluntary assent of the Southern States as one of itsrottditions precedent, would not be an event to which the people of the South might justly reconcile themselves, if, at the same time, such a concession was appointed to be the ultima Viule of the slavery agitation, and if, in this spirit, they could hope to accept it as a test of "the farthest limit to which the North intended to press the anti-slavery policy." To any mind this would seem to be the language of a calm but' resolute defender of Southern rights. It is the language of -one who combines the sagacity of the skillful tactician with the deliberate valor of the intrepid leader, and who in selecting the point at which he proposes to "make a stand," contemplates something more decisive than the feints and sur prises of such inferior political strategists as show so much more discretion in deserting than devo tion in maintaining the false positions into which they betray themselves by a . headlong precipi tance. ; j It is in fact, a significant, tribute to the moder ation and equity displayed by Mr. Bell in arbitra ting between the interfering claims of the North and of the South, in regard to the disposition of slavery in this District, that his opponents in each section find it necessary to mangle and pervert his record on tho subject, in order to sustain the pre cisely opposite allegations which they respectively bring against him for his conduct in this matter. These contradictions may, in fact be properly left to neutralize each other, as it is only bv the mu tual falsifications they affix to each other that they can serve the causo of historic truth and political fairness. - NARROW ESCAPE OF THE STEAMSHIP ARABIA FROM j WRECK. Dr. Smith, of Springflold, Mass., writes to the Republican of that (own the following graphic account of tbe narrow escape of .the steamship Arabia from sudden and terrible wreck on Fasnet Rock, Cape Clear: , , Steamship Arabia 11 A. M., Friday, August 3d, I860, j Just half an hour ago, while standing on the bows, the ship running 14 knots an hour under steam and sails, 1 in a thick fog. beard a loud shout "'and ahead!" I turned toward the captain, nr nter had mv eve on bim at that momant. His face could not bave expressed more horror if he bad seen hell s gates opened, lie sprung to the engine bell, at the same time shouting "hard a port your helm." A counter order of "starboard ' was given. -The-captain leaped from his footing, shouting so that bis voice was heard above the escaping steam, "bard a port, in God's nam." His order was obeyed. Then, turning forward among , a hubbub of voioeshouting, "We are.lostP "God bave mercy on us!" &c., &c, I saw the rocks not twenty feet from the .hip's bows. On their top was a light-house. As we swung around, it seem ed as if we should, every moment, feel the shock of striking. Tbe huge swell of the Atlantic was reverberating, and the spray flying all around us.' The sails took aback, heeling ua over so that the deck flood up like a roof of a bouse. Women were soroaming, running to and fro: and, above all, the captain and lieutenants shouting so as to be beard above the shrill, escaping steam, "Hard portl hard lhardl" .

"J 1 Three seconds more would have tolled the death-knell of most if not all of us, for we were so enveloped in fog, and far from land, and also no boat at the light-house, that if we had seized tbe fragments of the wreck they would have been torn from our grasp by the sea boiling as in a caldron over the sunken reefs, hours before our fate could have been known. I knew there was no time to run below for the life preservers which are hung up by each berth and contented myself with just stringing up my nerves for a;buffet.with,the for three minutes. I can assure you, man showed what he is when expecting the "King of Terrors.' Two or three ladies took it heroically and seemed to draw in strength from the scene around them. It was a terrible moment for the captain, (Capt. Stone;) for as we swung around, the sails taking aback and heeling us over, everybody .-xpected to fbel the grinding crash beneath onr feet. I felt for him, for all his great rashness, and gladly say that to his decision in our Jiour of need we owe our lives. j . The rock is called Fasnet Rock, and upon it is the CapeClear Light house. A subscription is now being taken up among the passengers for the soamenwho first shouted "breakers ahead." I shall never forget to my dying day the face of the cap tain when he heard that wild shout ! I i have seen distress and pain in all their forms, but never a face like that, so full of horror, perfect -agony, and crushing responsibility. The cry "breakers ahead." the stopping of the engines, the escape of the stoam, and the shifting of the helm, all occur red in one second. It seemed at the instant as if it was utterly impossible to stop the ship's way in time to save us; but God rules. He put forth Bis hand, and the vessel trembling as if with mortal fear, yielded to her powerful engines, receded from the rock, and we were saved, i ij . - t DOUGLAS MEETING AT NEW YORK. Tbe free "ox roast" at Jones' Wood, near N. York, Wednesday, in honor-of Douglas, was at tended by over 30,000 persons. The N. Y. Express . I - H says : , ; S Inside an enclosure were'the fractions of a large ox which weighed, when , alive, about 2,000 pounds, a large hog, a heifer, two shoep, two rounds corn beef, 11 barrels buiscuits, 500 loaves of bread, cakes, pies and other good things in pro fusion, which were all served up inood style by S. Palmo. The process of "barbecuing" had been completed. long before the crowds commenced ar riving, but the fire-place where the cookinfe had been accomplished still remained, and was the ob ject at whicn were levelled many pairs of curious, optics. The fire-place consisted of a large hole excavated in the side of the hill facing the South, walled up on three side, and with one side open. Across tbe top of this excavation was a hugh pole of about forty feet in length, which rested in notches in two logs upon either side of the oven. Tbe animals were fastened to the pole or spit, which was arranged with bandies at one end, by the aid of which the carcasses were kept turning, so as to expose every side equally to the fire, f After the feeding was over, the crowd was d xMnvaAd bv Senator Douglas. Ex-Governor Her- u.n r tv ir ni. mnA v.T.clav' Mom. ?uo" v twl 7"iZ;f haari nf Vv The New York World, speaking of I j w the address of Senator Douglas, says: The roU in which it suited Mr. Douglas to ap pear yesterday afternoon, was that of a nigh-pressure Union man. He admitted that many of the Breckinridgemen arenotdisunkmists, but charged that every disunionist in the country is a supporter of Breckinridge. However this may be, Mr. Doug las made an excellent point in defending the po sition he so boldly took in relying to those inter rotrtiiri at Norfolk. It had been thought a monstrous thing, he said, that in case a sovereign State should refuse to submit to the administration cf Lincoln; be bad expresesd himself in favor of putting it down by force. He denied that the powers of the Federal Government would be ex erted against a sovereign State. ' Individuals who resisted tbe Federal laws would be pun ished as individuals; but no violence, no affront even, would be offered to a State in its sovereign capac ity. Mr Douglas stated very correctly, that this objection overlooked the fundamental distinction between the old confederation and 1 the present Constitution. The ' worst defect of the former was, that it operated on the States ; as separate political communities, without ihe power of reach ing, directly, individual citizens. It was the leading purpose of the Constitution to remedy this defect, and make the government act directly on tbe people.! ' The outcry therefore, against doing violence to a sovereign State in the execution of the federal laws, is. absurd, inasmuch as the laws act directly on persons who aro individually re sponsible for resistance to them. : We hare alluded to this constitutional point be cause it is well taken, and, though not novel, ; is very timely. But the most noteworthy thing in Mr. Douglas' speech is his declaration that if Mr. Breckinridge will reply to the same questions to which he (Douglas) replied at Norfolk, and will plant himself firmly on the same high grot md wbich he took, he will withdraw from the canvass and leave the field to Breckinridge! This was a safe declaration to make; for it ia j certain that Mr. Breckinridge will comply with no such con dition, j The resolutions adopted with cheers re-affirm the principles of the party, and urge all Union loving men to cast their votes for Douglas and Johnson, and for the State nominations ot 4he Douglas branch of the Democracy. The following are of interest, as relating to the efforts making for fusion : j , j " ; ResolteA, That the regular organ ization of the party in this State, having" adopted an electoral ticket in accordance with tbe usages of the party, and standing upon the platform adopted at Charleston and Baltimore, and under the resolu tions of tbe conventions which nominated them,' pledged to the support of Douglas and Johnson, we call upon all conservative and Union men to rally to its support, that in this contest the question is union or disunion, and, therefore, all men of conservative principles can march under our banner to victory and triumph; that we reaf firm tbe following resolution, unanimously adop ted by tho mass meeting of the National Conven tion held in the Park on tbe 26th of September, 1853, viz: ' V. ,-) Resolved, That while we earnestly desire the cordial and permanent union of the Democratic party, we are admonished, "aa well by rea son as by dearly - purchased experience that no union can be either successful or tolerable but such as is founded on concurrence in principles; that all attempts to establish or maintain a union between those of conflicting sentiments, by what ever name it may be dignified, is but a coalition .hostile to harmonious action, demoralizing in all its tendencies, destructive ot the interest . of the Democratic party, and inevitably tending to de feat, disruption, and disgrace. ; ' ' M I .Upon returning to their hotels in New York city, Messrs. Douglas and . Johnson were' sereria- ! ded, and the latter replied in a brief speech. ' Thjc Gkxat Eastxkw. Whatever else may be said of tbe Great Eastern, there is no longer any doubt of her complete mechanical, success. Her return trip to England, in spite of all the disad vantages of her foul bottom, demonstrated that she is the fastest steamship now afloat on the ocean. AoQtJiTTXD.
