G.XJ. M. SALISBURY. j We reached Salisbury at stin down, and hrp. we found all the " noise and confusion '! to be ! expfcled in the principal inland townofour Slatp. It was the Court Vf-ek, but rliere was ui'.cli other- business done than the Coijrt had Iwoiight iliere. The streets were crowded with wagons from a distance, and strangers seemed arriving Ht all hours, and from "all quarters. There are a large number of stored here, all well supplied with a great .variety of gomjs, and several wholesale establishments who piopose fumishirrg the western merchants, at northern pi ices. The stores we were most familiar with, were those of Messrs. EoI.ms & Shemwkll, jiikI Mr. Myeks, sign of ih'e Red I'l.tg. They seem to have consulted taste, in the display as wejl as in the selection o!f their goods. ' f ! We visited the large steam cotton factory of Maxwell Chambers, in theJimits of ihe town and were much taken with the beaut vj of the machinery, the systemmalic arrangement Ol the ditlereut branches, and the order and pre cision maintained throughout. - There area large number of operatives, say about one hundred, employed and the' conse. quenre is, a large quantity of cloth is annually turned out which we presume meets with a ready sale at remunerating prices. j There are two hotels in the place the prin cipal om? the Mansion House, kept in fin style, by J. 11. Exniss, Esq., and the other by Mr. Ro bauds, a gentleman highly esteemed; by his boarders. There are a great many grogl shops, and some oflhem the meatiest looking holes in creation the man that could taker a morn ing dram, in some we saw, must have a! strong , 1 . .. .. . .. !. stomach.

In company with our colemporary of the Salisbury Watchman, we sauntered through the different streets, and though there wer many old buildings, we rould not but acknowledge that their unsightly appearance was! in a great way occasioned by the contrast of ijienew and beautiful ones which have been recently erected.

Lincoln Courier. Scriptural Plan of Benevolence. (by rev. sam'l hareis.) CHAPTER III. DulytifiSystfjnutic Benevolence inferred from the nature und motives of piety. Piety begins with a change of heart. The greaier part of life is usually occu pied with the acquisition and use. of pro priety.' A change of heart, if real, can not leave this principal part of life unaf- iectecl. Ihe subject of it must be expected , i I to snow that he has found , " heVen' b' h,s "eW aims getnng, b,s new principle in using th. treasures ot this world. 'If. in that, rhi.f part of life occupied with gaining and using property, the professed subject of a change consisting in placing the alTec tions on things above, continue show the same estimate of property as the grf at end to be sought, the same eagrnessn getting, the same tenacity in holding, the same self-seeking , U6ing it, need it be surprising that his worldly competitors j doubt the' reality of the change?
