The last Southern Churchman, an Episcopal paper, has a brief review of a late pamphlet issu ed by the Diocesan of N. Carnlina, entitled, "A Pastoral Letter to thn Clergy nnd Laity of his Dio cese." The Southern Churchman promise a fur ther notice hereafter.'. It says: '-Bishop Ives now candidly discloses what we conjectured from the first, that the proceedings of the tat; Convention at SaMbury, which have Jtciti'd so much attention, had reference to himself. Fn sneaking.' of the Committee which reported on that occasion, he cays, 'It was still less their business to pass an implied, hut not on that account, thb less oppres sive censure upon that portion of the clergy, with lite Bishop at their hed. I say the Bishop since it in notorious that, both in the Convention and the Committee, he was named as the chief offen der.': And tints viewing the subject, the Bishop re-asserts the doi'trine he has hitherto taught, and defends it against the censures of the Convention, protesting at the same time against the ri.ht of the Convention to act in the premises. Bishop lus in this letter avows his approbation of thu Oxford Tracts for the Times, and declares that it has been his purpose to employ nil his infliiet ee in bringing hit Diocese to a conformity with the sytetn which they set forth. The ci'ctunstanceo which led to the formation of 'the Holy Cross,' under Bishop Ives as its head, are detailed in the Pastoral Letter, and its objects are explained. These, among other things, were 'to inculcate up on all within their influence the sacramental sys tem of the Church, particularly Baptismal Regen eration, the Real presMco of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, and Sacerdotal Absolution,' &c. 'The Society' was to 'consist of three orders.' '1st. Perpetual members, who must be unmarried men. 2. Other persons living in the institution. 3. Per sons not residing at ValU Cruris.' Very much to our astonishment, as we presume it will fe to the- surprise of a large majority of readers, there is not a word respecting the dissolution ol this So ciety. The fact was affirmed in connexion with the proceedings of the late Convention, but has not we believe, been formally announced by the Society itself or any of its late officers." NOTES OF DISTINGUISHED PERSONS. Johm James Audcbok. A few years ago, there arrived at the hotel erected near the Niagara. Falls, an odd looking man whose appearance and deport ment were quite in contrast with the crowds of well dressed and polished figures which adorn that col ebrated resort. He seemed just to have sprung from the woods ; his dress, which was made of lea ther, seemed dreadfully in need of repair, appa rently not tuviDg felt the touch of the needlewoman for many a long month. A wornout blanket that might have served for a bed, was buckled to his shoulders ; a large knife hung on one side, balanc ed by along rusty tin box on ti.3 other, and his beard, uncropped, tangled and coarse, fell down upon his bosom, as if to counterpoise the weight of ihe dark, thick locks, that supported themselves on his back and shoulder. This strange being, to the spectutors, seemingly half civilized, half savage, had a quick-glancing eye, an elastic, firm move ment, that would, no doubt, cut its way through the brakes, both of the wilderness and of society. He pushed his steps into the sitting room, unstrapped his little burden quietly looked round for the land lord, and then modestly asked for breakfast. The host at first drew back with evident repugnance, at the apparition which thus proposed lo instrude its uncouth form among the genteel visitors, but a few words whispered in his ear speedily satisfied his doubts ; the stranger took his place in the company, some staring, shrugging, and some even laughing outright. Yet, readers, there was more in that single man than iu all the rost of the throng. He was an A uierican woodsman, 1m called himself; he was a true genuine eon of nature, yet who had been en tertained with distinction at the table of princes ; learned societies to which the like of Cuvier be longed, had bowed down to welcome his presence ; kittg dad been complimented when he rpoke to tin. iu ; in short, he whs one whose -fame will be growing brighterwhen the fashionables who laugh, ed at hiin, aud many much greater even than they, shall be utterly perished. From erery hill-top, and every deep shady grove, the bird, those blossoms of the air, will sing his name. The little wren will sing it with its matin hymn about our houses; the oriole carol it from the slender grasses of the mead ows ; the turtle dove roll it through the secret for ests ; the many voiced mocking bird pour It along the air j and the imperial eagle, the bird of Wash ington he tils in his craggy homear up the blue mountains, will scream it to the tempest and the star. He was John J. Audubon, the ornitholo- THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE. We are indebted to Mr. John C. Rive for a vol ume of his Congressional Globe and ApfenJue,con tuining the debates of the Second Session of the Thirtieth Congress. It makes a quarto, including the Appendix, of 1055 pages; and being furnished with a copious Iiidex.it is a work of much value tu Statesmen, Editors, and others who may have oc casion to refer to, or review matters concerned iu Congressional proceedings. The coming session will be one of more than o dinary importance, and a permanent record of it proceedings will be more than usually desirable. The Congressional Globe, which i to be published regularly during the session, will contain good and most reliable reports.

Autumn is upon us; not yet clad in the hectic livery of decay, but with brilliant skies, and brac ing air, and foliage resplendent ar.d glittering with dew. At early dawn and evening, soft gray mists rise along the A'ater courses and shroud the basis of the hil!a with their silvery folds. At these times tin-re is just enough of Ihe mystical and vis ionary iu the landscape to interest the imagina tion. One can form a thousand fantastic shapes of fairy or giant, or spectral visitant, in the very recesses ol these cloud regions. But the warm rays of the rising sun at morning soon dpel these fanciful hallucinations.. ' The mists condense and coil themselves together like huge serpents retir ing from their jungles, Anon, as they stretch up ward iu the air, they arc transformed to golden or i.;;y cloud, and finally mt It away in ths clear a zu e il lhe fiiie autumnal heaven. Now do the rustling corn-fields b giu to change their livery from green to gold, The fields present tho jolly corporations of fat pumpkins, growing red and fat in the sun, and giving goodly promise of -fatuous pies ill the gonial season of thanksgiving,' In the trim gardens the ga rish bloom of the gaudy fall IIowits srreuts the eye ol the wayfarer. There is a brisk alertness iu Ihe movement f the foriging squirrel as he garners np his nint r store of nuts and acorns, as if lie felt it w is no time to be idle now, with the cold weather so h rd upon his nimble heels; Troop of predatory t rows are abroad in the sunny air intent on plunder.- The jay with his gay inure jacket and white waistcoat, the dandy of the woods, is sf reaining his bravnrax in the pine trees; while the honest redbreast, "that loves mankind, living or dead,'' as old Isaac Walton ay, is whistling or chuckling in the wild cherry trees. Now and then the sharp crack of fowling piece is heard signalizing the death of some unwary quail or timorous partridge ; but the sounds are few that break the solemn still ness ol the green.wood. From the Green-daW Patriot. COMMON SCHOOLS. fcr The following a ppeal to the Common School Teachers is from gentleman whose life has been devoted to the instructions of youth, and who pos- j senses a full sense of Uie impoitance ol'piamlar ed ucation to the perpetuation, improvement aud glo ry of our free institutions. Wrho will hear his rcportJ How many Teach ers will take encouragement from his exhortation, and determine henceforth to elevate the standa rd of their arduous and honorable Profession ? The grand idea of associated actinnin this class begins to bo developed among many who have the true glory f the State and the happy progress of the race at heart. Is there life, intelligence, energy enough among our Teachers to carry it out 7 We trust that the small beginning proposed iu Guilford will result in a great end. TOTIIE TEACHERS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF NORTH CAROLINA. I address yon, gentlemen, as entrusted with our children, with their character, and nearly nil the learning that controls the election of county, Slate and National agents; Not one voter in five hun dred goes tn college. As individuals, confined to unseen labor, you are weak; but united iu one great and public occupation, you are strong, moro useful, better rewarded and more honored. No period, no year in our colonial or Slate history is like the present so a nspicious forurgatiizing your- j selves into County Associations, for your personal improvement, and for all the great interests of the Schools. The whole people are in motion for im provement, lt the Judges in open court give notice of your first meeting you will then soon e- lect delegates to form a Slate Convention of Teach ers. Concert is every thing. Nothing so requir es system and public sentiments as the education of a great and free people. The appointment by the Legislature of a Super inteiklatil of Common Schools, toviflt every coun ty and combine the whole people, and lo make the public money accomplish ten times, ib present good, to do for North Carolina all that Horace Mann has done for Massachusetts, depend on your county and State association, both for its a doption and success. Guided by such a leader, effort ami improvement will have no limit. Our State will then be in a position to establish, on the line of her great central railroad, ihe cheapest, the most needed of all her institutions, a Normal School a seminary lo edurate virtuous young men and women in the art and science of conduc ting shool. None so well understand it impor tance as yourselves. Were it now in operation, hundred of you would gladly there increase your experience and skill. Explore all its bearings, and let defects only enjoy its light, - Lei the maxim of a great writer on jurisprudence be yonr own : "Every man owe something to hit Profession." Associated, you forma Profession the moat numerous branch of the most Warned and liberal of all aeeuliar professions. Thus or. ganized, you will promote every element of our civilization. Writers and publisher will apply to you colHirteura, editor, agents, will find you the enlightened disoerners between truth and iinpoei tion.

We are very aristocratic here in our goodly city Cincinnati. Exclusivenessis fashionable coter ies are formed, who fancy they comprise all the taste, fashion and talent existing. If a daring in truder presumes to enter the charmed circle, he meets with a rebuff ."Inch tells him that he is look ed on as an inferior, tw matter what his personal worth and merits may be. It serves the fool right. What business has any one suppose that sterling character and cultivated intellect could constitute a claim to be received into fashionable society ? Fashionable faugh ! The children of cobblers and tinkers putting on airs, apeing the manners ol foreign aristocrats, and claiming to give tone and character to society ! Fashionable quotha! Why, they still smell of leather and solder! A gentleman passenger, on a steamboat from New Orleans to Cincim.ati on the (rip up, was in troduced to a young lady on board by a gentleman relation of hers. We give a, brief description of the two. The young lady wiu charmingly lovely, and amusing; hie manner noble, his figure manly such a one as would catch a lady's eye, Thrown together in each other' society, and mutually attracted, it is not to be wondered that they grew quite familiar. They had Ictes a teles on the guard-, promenaded thedeckt arm in arm, Ihe genlh-in.tn whispering soft nonsens in the lady's ear. 'I he passengers pronounced it a case of love j at tir.-t sight, the ladies were more respectful to j one whom thev thought was soon to be a matron, I and chambermaids (as chambermaids always do) waiting upon no One else hut the bride. Misera ble prophet it was not fated to be a match. The boat at length arrived at her place of desti nation, the ast ociation of tho two loving ones was at an end, and they were obliged tu separate Whispered adieus, wilh a soft entreaty from him, were answered by her thrusting a card into his hand, and thus they parted, she to her father's marble halls, and he to the East, whither business imperatively called him. The hope of seeing her on his return liiled his heart with joy. She made un astmindiug discovery shortly after her return home. A frie.ld of her, who sported ,Ilu,tucjio, BnJ a gQ.ai,e qaiXMd her unmercifully , , - , , rt . mechanic who was going to Washington to get a patent for a new pluugh. This wan vory provoking to her.. She protested that she thought he wa a gentleman, or she nev er would have accepted his attentions. Six week flew by, and the young mechanic was on his roturn home. His heart bounded with joy as he approached Cincinnati. Visions of grace, beauty and loveliness floated through his brain. Oh, what pleasure to meet La Belle of the Queen City. Her charms had made a deep impression on bis susceptible heart. His foot touched the wharf, and away he flw to ihe man sion of his beloved. He was ushered in, and hi name announced. The young lady floated into the room. O, how lovely ! But what is the mat ter? She docs not know hiin, bestows no glance of recognition upon tho face lit up wilh pleasure at seeing her again.' " You do not recolloct me," said he timidly, and mortified to think the impression if oue he had made was so evanescent. " 1 do not, sir," repl.ed she in a cold tone and with an air of hauteur such as a tragedy queen affects. He reminded her of their previous acquaintance onboard the steamer. "O, yes, yes a steamboat acquaintance! Good morning, sir," and with this answer 6he left the room. Hor old papa hnd heard the name of his visitor when announced, but thought hi presence would bemniovviiMSSt their first meeting, so the good natured old gent remained in his room. He knew the real position and standing of his visitor, and hugged himself at the prospect of Julia marrying the Hon. Mr. ,M. C, rich and distinguished. Mustachios had hnmbuazed Julia. She.'hecaoee he was a mechanic, had given him an unpardona ble insult. The reador may fancy Julia's mortification and her father's rage whon they had a mutual expla nation.' Goit,codfisher. Cin.

During the trial of Cogzoll, for kidnaping, which took place a few days since in Hillsborough, an in. eident occurred which created considerable fun at the expense of big wigrand counsel.

"I have known Thee in the whirlwind, I have known Thee on the liil.; I have loved Thee in the voice of bird, Or Ihe music of tho rill ; I dreamed Thee in the shadow, I saw Thee in the light, I heard Thee in the thunder-peal, And worshipped in the night ; AH beauty while it spoke of Thee, Still made iny soul rejoice, And my spirit bowed within itself To hear thy 'still small voice.' I have not felt myself a thing Far from thy presence driven ; By flaming sword, or waving wing, Shut oui from Thee and Heaven. Must I the whirlwind reap because My fathers sowed the storm t Q" sink, because another sinned, Beneath Thy red right arm ? Oh ! much of this we dimly scan, And much is all unknown, But I will not take my curse fro;n Man, I turn to Thee alone ! Oh ! bid my fainting spirit live, And what is dark reveal, And what is evil, oh ! forgive, And what is broken, heal ! And cleanse my nature, from abovn, In the deep Jsrd inof Thy love !'.' ' A TRAGEDY. We learn that a man named Bowen, residing iu the neighborhood of Berger's Store in this coun- ty, was killed a few days ago in an attempt to re sist with fire-arms the officers of the law who had been directed to take hiin in custody for the com mission of a high misdemeanor. It appears that on Monday last Bowen attempt ed to kill his wife, by shooting at her with a rifle, through a window at the residence of his father-in-law, and bidding defiance to tho laws of the laud, swore that he should not be taken alive. .Representation of the fact being made to the Cir cuit Superior Court now sitting for this County, his honorJufge Taliaferro issued.orders for the im mediate arrest of the outlaw; and the sheriff sum ttioned several persons, to assist liini in executing i he Judge's orders, who armed themselves for the encounter1 which was anticipated with the despera do. Accordingly, on arriving at Buwen's house, he confronted them in the yard with his rifle and revolvers, the former of which, after a short parley with them, he levelled at one of the party who dropped from his horse at the instant and thereby saved himself, as the ball aimed for him barely grazed the top of the horse's head. Bowen then advanced on the crowd with a revolver, when find ing they most either run or fight for their lives, a volley of pistols and musketry was discharged at him wliich brought him to the ground a dead man. Danville Register. AN ILLUSTRATION. Suppose a navigable river were flowing from the mountains of North Carolina to Wilmington or any other convenient port on the sea coast ; bearing upon its bosom at all seasons of tho year steamboats freighted with the produce of the back country; and salt, sugar, coffee, molasses and all manner of merchandise for the consumers o, (lie interior affording cheap facilities of intercourse between tha people of the East and the West, ena bling them freely and constantly to mingle and cultivate the sociabilities of life: What price could iuduce our people to surrender such conven iencesuch source of comfort, wealth and enjoy- mentf They would sooner think of giving up j their right to the soil, tho witor they drink, or the air they breathe, The convenience of such a river we have it in our power to cnjy, by the construction of a rail way thoroughfare. For cheapness of intercommu nication the latter is nearly equal to the former, aud for speed it is superior. The good Providence which hse Messed so ma. ny portions of the earth with natual sdvantage for commerce among its intelligent creature, ha en dowed man with the noble faculty ol invention, whereby he may overcome difficulties and improve hi situation.

The American people will be gratified to learn I that the French Government, b, kino- a different . vie of M.

The New York Evening Post, in the course of an article on the Resolutions adopted by the Mis sissippi Convention makes the following remak : "Nearly every one of the slave state, on theoth. erhand, have threatened eo frequently to abandon the Union, and set up as independent nalinns.du ring the past half century, that it is now taken as a matter of course, whenever the southern repre sentatives find themselves voting in a minority, that the L iiinn is to be dissolved straighwny. "Of course, nothing of the sort has ever occurred, or ever will occur, and the impotence,!inconsitency and folly of those who make such threats, are be coming more conspicuous every time they are re peated." '.''' It cannot be denied that the South talks too much and does too little. Resolution, aud not execu. tions, eem to be the order of the day. Thus, in the session of '46-7, the Legislature of Virginia passed Resolutions threatening liij resistance of Virginia to any bill excluding slavery from the Territories then to be established. Two years af terwards, the Oregon bill, with the Wilmot Proviso in it, became law, and many of those who voted for the Legislative Resolutions sustained Mr-Polk in making the Oregon bill a law. Now, what bet. ter encouragement do our Northern sggresors want, than such conduct on the part of the very men who are foremost in bringing forward and sus taining these menacing resolutions, affords T Is ii surorising that Northern politicians should be wil ling to sacrifice Ronlhern Rights, when they see Southern politicians, for party purposes, submit to a sacrifice of Southern Right j The South should now stop talking, stop threatening, stop resolving and await the progress of events. The North has time and again been put in possession nf the views and determination of the South. If it persists in its aggression on Southern Rights, it does so with its eyes open to the consequences, and the South having given fair warning, if it does not proceed to action, hould consult its own dignity by ceasing to threaten Pet.
