0f 131 Iminational schools. It amounts to a demand the members of that church shall be exempt fr the support of common schools, mse their own schools could not be regarded as mon schools, and the general system must be ntained without any aid from them. We have sort of objection to the .Catholics participating the benefits of our common school system, as far Trotestants do, nor ao we oujtct w tueir csiau lhominational institutions at their owr j....-.inatinnnl institutions at their own lense ; but we do protest against any: endorse in this country, of schools of that character, f of the coffers of the State.

Whilst regard this as tlie wost important result to be Ined by education, and would be sorry to see Jeffort made to render the moral influence of teacher . nugatory by prohibitory regulations, we contend that the great aim of State educa- shouldKnd must beT under, our system of gov- eut, to fttwiish to the people such knowledge. necessary to fit him for an 'intelligent partit ion in Uheprivileges of citizenship.

The Depot at Richmond, of the ; Richmond and , Petersburg ravroad, is getting to I be one of the most disagreeable places which the weary traveller is compelled to pass. Those who have much ticketed baggage to wait for, may ex-! pect to be detained at the baggage car a most un reasonable length of time and to participate in a melee about as disgusting as the msst disorded im agination can fancy. There stands the agent with his handful of tickets, abusing -the lazy negroes who are handling the trunks with a most leisurely deliberation, and endeavoring to discover the num ber of each' article by a dim,'fiickering lamp whilst the conductor stands by in an equally amiable frames of mind, threatening the miserable crew with torture and annihilation. The numbers suc ceed one s another" without any order, and your baggage is delivered to you at distant intervals of time, whilst "the supper is growing cold and the , ladies under your charge are suffering little agonies of suspense and impatience. Oh, for a plenty of comjetition in the South, to make expedition an object, and courtesy a virtue on all our lints of travel ! ,Temperance Envelopes. We saw a few days ago a new-fashioned envelope, with a vignette, re presenting the blessings of temperance, especially those of the Maine Law, where successfully execu- , teLVa wttra. struck . ith the .singular ingenuity . of the devise. As a question of taste but, de gustibits non, Sec all criticism aside the suggestion is creditable to the sagacity, if not to the taste of the patentee. We have been even imagining the . probable effect3 of its application to other things in morals, to the various schemes in vogue for. the re formation of mankind. What a wide field of in fluence it opens to the enthusiasts in every religious denomination, to scatter abroad tjie seeds of their own favorite little opinions, and to force them up on the un willing attention of men. The politidtans too, mighty easily preach- the indispensable neces sity of free-trade, distribution, and the like, through the medium of pictorial arguments. The extent to which the invention is capable of being applied, may ba readily conceived. No wonder that the publisher,.. W. C. Hale, Fountain Office, Hartford, Conn., gives ''timely warning that copyright has been secured. He enjoys a, brilliant prospect of reaping pecuniary advantage from his labors in the cause of morals. Gov. Reid has designated W. D. Cooke, Esq., of this City, and Gen. John Gray By n urn", of Ruth erford, as 'Commissioners at the Exhibition of the Industry of all nations in Xew York, in addition to those heretofoie appointed.

Thou . h a great deal 1ms been said in the newspapers, at hon.e and abroad, about the present difficulty between Russia !and Turkey. "peo- pie yet inquire wnat is the immediate cause of the present disturbance ? , The general intentions of Russia towards Turkey, it being pretty well under stood, are -the -aggrandisement of the former at the expense of the Litter. This would, no doubt, have been pushed on more rapidly, but for the attitude of hostility assumed by "the other European powers vwhmtv-r liuseia seemed tifci09!l to nccomptish its annexation project. Presuming oii the weak con dition of Turkey, Russia has endea-vored to gain a foothold in the SuFtan's dominions; under the pre text of protecting the Greek Churjcb. The Sukan reigns over some thirty-five millions of people. Of these twenty millions are Mahomedan, and twelve millions be long to the (ireek Church, and the Czar modestly requires Turkey to give him such a power of superintending these twelve millions as would virtual)- give him the control over ".thorn, and be a pretext for his inteifering with the affairs of Turkey, when his designs are surfieienily ripened to enable him to swallow the whole empire . .- The Greeks, for the protection 'of whose religious rights the Czar is nominally -laloring. do not seem to covet or desire the intervention. The report is, that the Patriarch recently called together the whole of the bishops of Constantinople and neighborhood and put to them collectively the question,! whether they had anything to complain of in their present circumstances, and whether they wished for any further privileges I Their answer being 'unanimous ly in the negative, the Patrinych requested them to sign a paper to that effect, which was done, and the document w.'fs duly transmitted to the Gran 1 Vizier. The Greeks appear to fear the protectorate of Rus sia more than the suzerair.tv of the Ottomans.' Fashions- in Pakis.-Au English Journal says: "The mantilla, the veil and the fan are gradually ta king the place of all the former coiffures of Paris; and from t,he rentier's wife to the lorette and blanchais seusc, all are eagerly aping the manners and attires of their grave neighbors across the Pyrenees. Nay, even the men seem infected with this mania ; and it is now not unusual to see some of the young bloods habited as tonedors and mantadors, or in regular maio costume, assuming all the airs and importance of ;i Spanish cavaliero. All these fancies just suit the character of our mercurial neighbors; and we can wonder at no act of extravagant folly among the people, when we find the Emperor and Empress going in state to the hippodrome, as they did on Tuesday last, to see a silly man attempt a flight over Paris in a balloon and parachute, aiding his r?c'jlt vkirK wirinv TriA 'iflT-jir ran a a foilrtrA on A pTie" slITyactyenturer fell'mucli hurt in the Champ deMrs. But only think of our own Victoria and . Albert going to Vuaxhall to witness the positively last ascent of the veteran Green, or some second Cocking. England would be ananimous in ridiculing such an exhibition of royalty ; but.Ia belle France often admires and approves what graver England looks upon as childish and ridiculous." . DEATH OF THE HON. JOSEPH P. CALD WELL. It is with no ordinary feelings of sorrow and regret that we record the death of the, Hon. J. P. Caldwell, late member of Congress from this District. He died at his residence in Sutesvilie on Thursday evening the 30h ult., after an illness of forty -eight hours. ' Mrj Caldwell was universally beloved. Kind, affectionate and social in his disposition, honorable in his dealings, true and warm in his friendship, his death we regard as a public calamity. He leaves a widow and four interesting children to weep bitter but nnavailing tears for the loss of an affeciionale husband and a kind and indulgent father. lioican Whig. Bridal Present. We find. the following in the Bangor Mercury:-A bridal loaf from the Emperor Napoleon, has deen presented to the President ' It is described by the correspondent of the Brunswick Telegraph as "a mans of cake, sugar, white silk and gold leaf, aa large as a bushel basket. It is surmounted by an e,e?ant apefnH flowers;ariJong them, are the trench lily and the pompon .flower, a wreath ot tne Irish shamrock and Spanish ivy encircles the vase Empress Eugenie being of Irish and Spanish descent. -Around. the vase are the arms of all the citfies of France, and seven cornucopias filled with the fruit and produce of the field. Tho golden letter N is conspicuous on every portion "of the cake. - , A ob i ccxturai. Address. Agreeably to appoint- ment, Dr. J. F. Tompkins, of Beaufort county N. C, ! addressed portion of the citizens of Anson in this town on Thursday last, on Agriculture. We had the pleasure of listening to the very interesting and able Address of this gentleman ; he handled the subjects of drainage, deep-ploughing, ecorifrmigng of manures, the analysis of soils, and other matters appertaining to to agriculture, in a masterly manner showing to his attentive and gratified audience a thorougn practical acquaintance with everything connected with farming, and the best methods for the improvement of the soil. Dr. Tompkins adverted to 'the N. C. Agricultural Society, aud showed clearly the utility and practical benefits which will result to the agricultural interests in this State by the formation of this Society. . He urged his hearers' to co-operate in furthering the ob jects of the-S6ciety by becoming members, and usjng their influence in promoting its success. The Doctor is also engaged in obtaining subscrip tions to the Farmer's Journal, of which he is the Ed itor. This enterprise is languishing for the want of ade quate. patronage. We learn that he has already sunk floOChin the undertaking. Ihe tanners ought not to permit this gentleman to suffer pecuniary loss. He has labored diligently and emciently in the cause of Agriculture, and his labors should be handsomely re numerated by a liberal subscription to his Journal, The Farmers' Journal is issued monthly in a suitable and convenient form for binding, and it contains much useful and valuable information. The price is only $1.. We were pleased to notice that a number of our citizens stepped forward and subscribed for the Jour nal. Let others with a liberal spirit bestow their aid in giving permanency and efficiency to the only agri cultural publication in the State. They will no doubt be amply repaid for the small sum paid for the Jour nal. Wadesloro' Argus. . : The New York Crtstai. Paiace Exhibition. The.. exhibition of Jthe World's Industry, at the Crys tal Palace in New York, will undoubtedly for surpass all previous expositions in this country, even of Am erican manufactures and products, while the industri al resources of the principal foreign nations will be represented as fully as the most-saguine can expect, in an exhibition which is founded soley upon private enterprise. Great Britain, France, Germany, Prussia and Italy will be largely represented, the main floor of the building being chiefly filled with goods from those conntries. Fifteen hundred foreign packages have been already registered, and others are still in" the United Stales' bonded warehouses awaiting transfer to the palace.' Nearly two hundred towns in Ger many alone, have sent over valuable contributions for exhibition The work of testing the strength of every part of the edifice has been commenced by Mr. Detmold, the engineer. The mode adopted of making the test is placing a mass of iron weighing 107,500 lbs. on each square or bay in the gallery between four columns, which is said to be equivalent to 75 lbs. to the square inch. It is computed that, in the densest possible crowd of people, the greatest weight that rVsts upon each square foot is 50 lbs., and if this computation is correct, the test applied must be entirely satisfactory. The main building covers 173,000 square feet, gal leries included nd the additional building 33,000, being. 206,000 ln'all. Ihe additional building is com posed of a first and second story gallery, 21 feet broad and 450 feet long, lit from above, the sides being quite closed up, so as to form a suitable place; to exhibit pic tures ai d statues. There are twelve Stairwa3rs, the ballustrades Of which are light iron tracery, and three entrances. Walls properly speaking, the building has not, being enclosed w ith glass sustainea by iron pil lars. This vast mass of crystal occupies 45,000 square feet. The cast iron weighs 1,200 tons, the wrought 300. Each pane of glass is 16 by 38 inches. The prevailing style of the archilecture is Moorish and Byzantine in its decorations. 1 It is supposed there will be 6,000 contributors. ' . Singular Wedding Party. A correspondent of the Placer Herald is responsible for. the following : " A inarri.-ige took place on the night of the 15th December, at the Nevada Hoel a hidynot unknown to the California public, to a gentleman trom Kentucky, now aci'i2eni of this State, he being hejifth upon V"hom she h.id conferred Hymeneal honors, and the tliird whos? heads are yet above the sod. By a strange concatenation of 'circumstancps, her two Inst husbands, between whom and herself all marital duties hud ceased to exist, by the operation of the divorce law. h d put up at the Nevada House, on the sami evening, ignorant of the fact that their former eara sposa had rested under the same roof with themselves and also that-they had both, in former years, been wedded to the same lady. " Next morning they occupied seats at the break fist table, opposite the bridal party. Their eyes met it wi h mute but expressive astonishment. The lady bride did not faint but bravely informed her newly acquired lord of her singular situation, and who their guests were. Influenced by the nobleness ol his na ture, nnd the happy impulses of his h-;rt, he summon ed his predecessors to his biidal chamber, and the warmest greetings and congratulations were inter changed between the four, in the most unreserved and friendly manner. The two ex-lords frankly' de clared that they ever found in the lady an excellent companion and that ' they were the authors of the difiiculiies which produced their separations, the cause being traceable to a too frequent use of intoxicating drinks. ' The legal lord and master declared that his affec tion for his bride was strengthened by the coincidence, and that his happiness was increased, if possible, by what had occurred. After a few presents of specimes from their well filled purses, the parties separated the two ex-husbands for the Atlantic States, with the kindest regards oft he lady for the future welfare of her former husbands. " Not the least singular circumstance attending the above is, that the three were all married on the loth of December. A Gentleman and his S it Cruelly Shot while AsLtEP in BcD. We heard of an effort (which is likely to prove but too successful) made by one or more negroes belonging to Mr. Henry Birdsong of Susex, to kill him and his son, which in atrocity, is utmost unpar.-illed in the history ofenme. , The particulars of this i evoking affair reached here Saturday, through a gentleman who had been despatch ed to thi city expressly to convey home a daughter of Mr. li., who has been boarding in the family ot one of our citizens for the purpose of receiving an educa tion. So far as we have been enabled to gather them they are as follows: At a late hour on Friday night last, Mr. Henry Bird- song and his little son who was lying in bed by his side, were both sho through one ot the windows of his chamber. The snooting was done with a deuble barrel gun heavily loaded with buck shot. The load entered one leg of Mr. B.'s son, at the thigh, passed entirely through, and terribly lacerated the other. Mr. B. also received an entire load in his abdomen, which provoo IWnt t-cvtW trrel3 of tbf gmi -weV? discharged. They were not dead when the young gentleman left that brought the news to this city, but itheir recovery was considered impossible. There seems to be no doubt but that the awful deed was committed by Mr. B.'s own slaves, as it was done with his own gun which was fouhd near the window. The window through which the cruel deed was com mitted, is elevated some seven or eight feet from the ground, but a temporary scaffold was encted by fixing two barrels under it, and then placing a plank across, upn which the fiends stood, and took their aim. It is thought there were two concerned in the bloody transaction. Mr. Birdsong resides in the lower end of Sussex, near the Surry line, about thirty-five miles from this city. He has many friends and acqaintances in Petersburg, who will deeply regret to hear of this sad occurrence. We understand the most intense exc; tement pre vails in the neighborhood, and that the citizens are determined, if possible, to have the fullest punishment , meted out to the perpetrators of such an outrage. Petersburg Express. A City with Twelve Thousand Ixhabitaxts De stroyed. in tne foreign news by the Atlantic, pub lished, yesterday, it is stated that, on the 1st of Alay, the Lity oi sniraz, . m Persia, was destroyed, with twelve thousand of its inhabitants, by the shock of an earthquake. This is the second city in Persia, and in former years had a population of 40,000 persons, but an earthquake in 1 824 nearly destroyed it. It was form erly a place of great beauty, and is celebrated by the Persian poet Hafiz, who was a native of Shiraz, for its beauty and fertility. Since the earthquake of 1824, it has greatly declined in both, most of its public struc tures having beenruined by that calamity. Rev. Geo. D. Cummixs, who has been for nearly seven years the Rector of Christian Church in Norfolk, has resigned, having accepted a call to St James' Church, Richmond, of wbich Dr. Empie was lately the Rector.

The wheel also passed over his left arm crushing it in a shocking manner. The engine was stopped immediately, butit. was of no avail, as the vital spark had fled.

We undeistand that a rumor is afloat in the lower Counties to the effect that the scarlet feverjis ragins in our town : in consequence ot which, persons ilntending to visit here have been turned away, and pupils intended for our Schools have delayed their coming. It is due our Schools, and citizens generally, as well as to those wishing to come or send ehildren here, to correct such a mischievous report. It is true there were several cases of scarlitina here during the last session, but none in any ot the Schools. And we are informed by one of our best physicians that no child over ten years old had it, and there was no death of any child over six years old. At this time there is no case of scarlet fever, nor any other diseae, that we are aware of, in town. Indeed, Firce we have lived here, (about four years,) we have never known the town freer from all epidem ics, or o:her di .eases. Warrenton News. The Ericsson Exgixe. ln late Havre papers we find notices of the stationary engine constructed for the New York Evening Post by Captain Ericsson, and subsequently sent to France to secure his patent in that empire. The editor of the Courier du Havre, who was present at an experimental trial, says : " The experiment we witnessed was not intended to establish the power of the machine, but merely to show the manner of its operation, and to enable the spectators to appreciate the usefulness of the regener ator, which absorbs the caloric from "the hot air, and returns it again to the cold air, as it passes through it. Indeed, the "engine works from three-quarters of an hour to an hour after the fire is extinguished, when there is, of course, no caloric generated except that which is drawn from the regenerator." New-York, July 10. A tremendous hurricane, ac companied by thunder, lightning, and torrents of rain, passed over this city and vicinity yesterday evening.

The Ives affair has taken on a new and still more unhappy phase. The Church Herald has been furnished with a letter, written by a member of the Episcopal church in North Carolina to Bishop Green, which states that " Mrs. Ives will re turn home with her brother, Dr. Hobart, he having received notice from the Pope that Dr. Ives would be ordained pnest in the summer, and could no longer be considered her husband."

This valume presents a picture of Southern Life, taken at difierent points of view from the one occupied by the author ess of " Uncle Tam't Cabin." The writer, being a native of the South, is familiar with the many varied aspects -tswuned by domestic servitude in that sunny region, and therefore feels competent to give pictureaof " Southern Life, as it is." Pledged to no clique or party, and free from the pressure of any and all extraneous influences, she has wriuen her book with a view to its truthfulness ; and the public at the North, as well as at the South, will find in" Aunt Philips Cabin " not the disorted picture of an interested painter, but the faith ful transcript of a Dagoerreotypist.

W E FEEL CALLED UPON, PROMPTED BY A sense of duty to the public and ourselves, to caution ih ? nu merous Patrons and Friends of Parisen & King's Ex press, throughout Virginia, North Carolina and' Tennessee, against " Hand Bills" and Advertisements, issued by a cer tain Express Company, lone known to the Merchants ot tho South, especially of Virginia and North Carolina J as the " tardy and exorbitant monopoly." This fast Express wishes to impress upon the mind of the public, that they have effected arrangements for EXCLU SIVE EXPRESS PRIVILEGES on the steamships Roanoke and Jamestown, and thus lead the ujjblic to suppose. that no other Express can run on the ships. To settle this matter definitely, and to place it in its " true light" before the public at large, we will only say, that we havebeen running our Ex press on the steamship Roanoke since she made her second trip, and will continue to run until she makes her last trip ; and, on the 16th inst., will make oar first express shipment on board the new and magnificent steamship Jamestown, and which expresses w 11 be under the charge of OUR OWN SPECIAL MESSENGERS. Freight and Packages will be taken and delivered with our usual promptness, and at th same low rates as heretofore, which will be almost 40 per cent, below the charges of the Self-Stvled Exclusive Ex press Companv, as we are aware they must do a large busi ness, and their patrons pay big prices, for the privilege of hat ing a small room on board the ships; tor which PARISEN Sc. KING offered the sum cf f 47,000 Forty Seven Thousand Dollars for a five years contract. We will again and lastly state to the public and ourpatrons, that as OUR interests are largely identified with the increas ing enterprise of -he South, and the general direction of the business under the personal superintendence of one of the firm, who Dermanently resides in Petersburg, Va'., we cali fur a continuation of" that liberal patronage as heretofore conferred upon ns, and a general support ot that principle and svstern of ECONOMY, PUNCTUALITY and EXPEDITION. as first introduced in the Express business bv us, and upon which all may depend on its being carried out to the let- PARISEN Sc.

A rumor -seems to be going the rounds thoughout our en tire Line of Express, that Parisen & King havsold out their business to Messrs Adams Sc. Co., and as such rumor tends to the injury of our business, weTiereby notify the public that all rumors tbey may hear in that respect, are as false as they are malicious ; and furthermore, tha Messrs. Adams, &j Co., never had nor never wi.l have sufficient means to buyout the enterprize of Parisen &, King. But, on the other hand, Messrs. P. &. K. intend to meet and fight the enemy an their own ground, until they are obliged to their business on the economical and expeditious principle ot which they have been so dehcient. Parisen &. King having their arrangements throughout of e system, continue to receive and forward every description of Merchandize, Freight and Vauables, to and from NewrYork, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes see, with the utmost dispatch and at low rates.
