Bishop Soue, on taking the chair on
Wednesday, gave the following statement
of the imminent peril he enceuntered a
bout four miles from this cityj by. stage
accident, from which his life was most re
markably and Providentially Jsaved ; as
reported by tbje correspondent pf the Sou
thern Christian Advocate. Carolinian.
44 He had made his approach! to Colum
bia, under very peculiar circumstances,
and felt himself very specially indebted to
the good providence of God that I his life
had been spared. Last eveninj: the stage
was run away with by the frightened
horses, and dashed to pieces; the very
spokes; in the wheels were knocked but,
and the coach made a perfect' wreck. He
had been often before, in perils b viand and
sea, but never in such imminent danger of
death in all the course of his life. To God's
proyidential care he attributed his preser
vation. Not a hair of his head was hurt.
He hoped that God would be; with the
conference at; its present session, and pre
side most graciously over all its delibera
tions, and guide all its counsels to the pro
motion of his jjlory and the further spread
of Christ's kingdom among men. f j
The statement made by Bishop Soule of
his preservation produced a strong impres
sion upon the Conference. He was on his
way from Fayetteville, N. C.,tb Columbia
by stage; and after the wreck of the
stage-coach be walked at night some four
miles into town.

without injury.although with considerable
danger and alarm. In that vast expanse
of desert, frorp west to northwest of him,
he saw a number of prodigious pillars of
sand, at-different distances, jinoving at
times with grCat celerity at others stalk
ing on with majestic slowness at inter
vals he thought they were corning, in a
fewlminutes, to overwhelm him and his
companions. Again they would retreat,
so as to be almost out of sightj their tops

tops often separated from the bodies, and
these, once disjointed, dispersed in jlhe air.

were broken near the middle, as if struck
with a large cannon shot. About? noon
they began to advance with considerable
swiftness upon them, the wind beirigstrong

ranged along side of them at about the
distance of three miles. The greatest di

THE TWO NEW FASHIONS.
White Cravats and Laclies' Tarpaulins.
Here and there a country' reader will,
perhaps, require to1 be (informed that no
man is stylish, now, out" in the evening
without a white cravat. To those who fre
quent the Opera this will be no news, of
course ; As no eye could have failed to
track the "milky way," around the semi
circle from stage-box to stage-box. The
fact thus recorded, however, we proceed
tojthe diagnosis of the fashion, (and of an
other fashion, of which we shall presently
speak) premising only! that we are driv
enjto the discussion of these comparative
ly serious themes, by the frivolous charac
ter of other news, andj the temporary pub
lic surfeit of politics, scandal and murder.
The white cravat I ivas adopted two
years since, in London, as the mark of a
parly-rf- Yopng England." Our readers
know, of course, that for ten years, they
have been worn only by servants in that
country, and that a black coat and white
cravat were the unmistakcable uniform
of a family butler. The cravat having
been first worn as the distinction of a cer
tain reforming club, in Cromwell's Parlia
ment, however, the author of Vivian Gray
auwuru u as infi insignium 01 a new po
litical party, of which he is the acknow
ledged leader; and as the king of the
white cravats, he has set a fashion for A
merica. The complirrient we pay him is
the greater, by the way, that we do not
often copy the tight-legged nation in our
wearables. j;
h was established in BrummelPs time
that a white cravat could not be success
fully tied excepffrom theicritical turn pre
ceding the re-action of a glass of cham
pagne and a cup of green tea. A felici
tops dash of inspired dexterity is the only
thing fo bp trusted, arid failure is melan
choly ! As to dressiness, a white cravat
is rin intensifier- making style more styl
ish, and the lack of it more observable ;
but, artistically, it is only becoming to light
complexions by its superior whiteness
producing ah effect off warmth on a fair
skin, but impoverishing the brilliancy of a
dark one. As a sign pf the times, the re
appearance (S the white cravat is the fbre
runnerof a return to bld-fashioued showi
ness in evenfng dress ,. and as the wheel
coiines round again, we shall revive tights,
bubkles and shoes, expelling the levelling
costume of black cravat and boots, and
making it both expensive and troublesome
to look like a gentleman after candle-light.
So tilts the plank in republics.
!3ut what, shall we say of trains and lar
pavilins for ladies' we4r! Jack's hat co
pied exactly in white satin, is the rage for
a head dress now (yorn upon the side
of the head, with a ruinous feather) and
a velvet train is about becoming indispen
sable to a chaperonXI It will be a bold
poor man that will dafe to marry a lady

residents, in honor of their American guests, at
tbe ball of the Consulate. From Ceylon tlie
frigate proceeded by a route called the Eastern
Passage, south ofribe Island of Java, by the
way of Timor and Amboyna, and into tbePa.
cific Ocean, tbencr up to the eastward of the
Island of Luzan to Macao. It was tbe first time
this passage waa evej made by an American
roan of war. At the season of the year when
it was accomplish d, it it the only way to reach
China in consequence of the N. . E. monsoon.
