The entire absorption of the public mind in the grave questions which un derlie the Presidential election has vaused the proceedings of the recent Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States to be regarded with far less interest than naturally belongs to matters of so much real dignity and importance- It is only at intervals of twelve years that the sessions of this body are coincident -with the conduct of our most momen tous political campaign, and at other times its deliberations attract, as they deserve, a degree of attention second to that which is bestowed on no other ecular or religious organization. It may fairly be deemed a subject of J congratulation that, in respect to geo graphical lines, the Protestant Episco- Oefore so thoroughly and cordially uni ted. Happily relieved of the disturb ing element of slavery, which at all times threatened its severance at any moment, the Church now recognizes no jealousies between North and South, and where antagonisms might have oth erwise been painfully expected, we have seen only the happiest manifestation of the " unity of the spirit in the bond of Ipeace.' This is no light or trivial mat ter, and gives the highest encourage-! nient for the future brotherhood of once discordant sections on the enduring ba sis of mutual forbearance and irood will. It is also a hopeful sign of the times that in the recent discussions the most ! influential, if not the most prominent, part was borne by the laity. No one tan have read the daily abstract of What was said and done in the Conven tion without being struck with this fact. We cannot and would not ignore, of course, the impression made by the speeches of such distinguished clerical deputies as Rev. Drs.

Few ecclesiastical assent blies have had so great a number of eminent practical men from the body of the people. The experience and learn ing of Samuel B, Ruggles and Hamil- ton Fish, of New York; tlie quick per ception and ' thoughtful wisdom of Messrs. Welsh ami Coningham,of Penn svlvania tho last named a Ju'dire : the calm, clear mode of statement of mode' Messrs. Battle of Xjbrth Carol ina, Otis. of Illinois, and ShefTey, of A"irginia i all accustomed to pronounce legal judgments from the bench ; the sharp. Incisive Ionic of Mr. McCradv, of South Carolina, and the sturdy good sense of high intellectual endowments would have illustrated any deliberative assem bly, no matter for what purpose brought together. The participation of such men in the affairs of the Church must enhance its efficiency in elevating so ciety to the standard of Christian mor als, at once benefitting Church and State by a direct and retroactive agency. All right-minded persons, within or without the communion of the Episco pal Church, will rejoice that the de bates of the Convention were conducted throughout in the most courteous spirit, and that even upon points of difference, where schism had been feared but was happily averted, there was an amenity of temper that became Christian men seeking to serve the cause of their Mas ter. . : fr. The following sections of the Code of Civil procedure, is published for the inr formation of parties who have suits upon the Trial and Execution Dpckets'of the late Superior, County and Equity Courts : " Section 400.

Sec. -101. And every suit not so trans ferred within the time aforesaid shall be abated, and the Clerk of the Superior Court shall tax the co:,ts against the parties liable, and collect the same by the proper process.

Ihe nesro was shot in the leg as he was running from Monk, two balls taking effect upon him. The weapon was a revolver, and the wounds were not serious. Monk was arrested and, after examination before a Magistrate, was bound ovetf; . Some insult' or violence offered by the negro to a lame brother of Monk Julian was the cause of the difficulty. The shock of an earthquake, hereto fore alluded to as having been felt in Charlotte on the morning of the 3d inst.i seems to have been generally no ticed in Mecklenburg and adjoining counties The editor of the ; Democrat felt the jar so sensibly that he raised up from his bed and 'looked out, think ing that sariiething had struck the house.

Horrible Outrage uml Swift) Retribution, j We have the particulars of a horrible j outrage committed near Summervillc, in Emanuel county, o:i Tuesday, last. . A young lady, ..seventeen or eighteen J years old, daught of a respcctable citizen ol': that count jvvho is a pupil in the Summerville scluvsl. was met in the outskirts of the -village v!;ile 0:1 her way to sciiool, early Tuesday morning,; by a negro man named Peaj ce, who at tacked her with a ligiitwood knot, stri king her on the back of tho head, and felling her to the earth. He then at tempted to commit further outrage upon her person, which she resisted to the j utmost of her strength and ability. In I the scuftlc which ensued, he beat her! severely over the. head and face, se riously injuring her eyes and filling her moutli with sand to prevent her cries from being heard. From the eifect of this terrible treatment she became in sensible, and the fiend accomplished his hellish purpose, and left her apparently dead in the road. Sometime aftechc was discovered in this pitiable condi tion and taken to a house near by, w hen Dr. Uouchelle being called to sec her, administered to her relief, and she rer covered so far as to be able to desig nate the demon, who had committed the outrage. Pursuit was then made .for the wretch, and, in a little while, he was found con cealed upon the premises of Mrs. Ilar ris, when he was arrested and taken ; to Swainsboro, and committed to jail. A large crowd was assrpWd at the, , hitter anci great excitement, was prouuecu when the facts became known. There was, however, no attempt made to in terfere with the. criminal, wdio was safe ly lodged in jail. That night, about 11 or 12 o'clock, a crowd of persons, numbering some forty or fifty, went to the house of Mr. J. J. Mooring, the jailor, and demanded of him the jail keys. This demand he re fused to comply with, when they threat ened liis life if the keys were not pro. duccd. Under this alternative, the keys were presented to the party, who immediately proceeded to the jail, took the negro out, and, carrying him to a tree just outside the town, swung him up to a limb, in which position he was found next morning. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. "Let Jee:ies Go." Tin Land W Love gives a model letter from a young ladv, whose Sweetheart was in the fifth South Carolina regiment, to. Mr. Davis, President of the late Confederacy, ask ing for a furlough for her lover to come home and get' married: " Dear Mr- President : I want you to let Jeemes Clancy, of company lth.iith S. 0.,- rejriment, conic: home and get married." Jeemes is w'llltf, I is willin', my mammy, she is willin', but Jeemes' captain, he ain't willin. Now when we are all willin, ceptin Jeemes' captain, I think you might let up and let Jeemes come. I'll make him go straight back when he's done got married, and fight just as hard as ever. Your affectionate friend, o:c." Mr. Davis wrote on the letter : 44 Let Jeemes go," and Jeemes came home, married the affectionate correspondent of Mr. Davis, and returned to his regi ment, and did fight as well as ever. It is predicted that among the first r.cts of Gen. Grant; when he gets into power, will be to pardon Jeff Davis, John C.

A party, consisting of Dr. Clinton .Shell. Robert Hudgens,' William -on Barks dale and George Darksdale, left this village, after night, to return to their homes,' about - five or six miles distant. About 10 o'clock, some four hundred, yards beyond the residence of Mr. Hen ry Shell, the party was fired upon by persons in ambush, and Dr. Shell was instantly killed and fell from his horse. He was struck in the head, neck and breast. Mr. Williamson Barksdale was severely wounded in the thigh with five or six shot, and his horse receiving some thirty or forty shot. The other gentle men escaped. The horses of those sur viving were frightened and carried the riders some hundred yards suddenly from the scene. The assassins fled on foot at oncej and were not recognized. They had taken the precaution to form an ambuscade, by' cutting down bushes, and evidently lay in wait for the party, knowing of their being in the village, and their intention to remain and par ticipate ina torch-light procession. It is thought that ten distinct reports were made," and1 as the fiends used double barreled guns, the whole party w ould have lost their lives but for the sprine of the horses upon' the first discharge. The scene of the tragedy is about three miles from this village. LburiiuS. C.) Ilcrahl.

There were various excellent inducements offered to the Commis sioners to locate it near this citv, at Seima, Johnston -County, and perhaps at other points, which would;' in sonic re spects, have been preferable, but the inducements in favor of Lockville, we suppose, prevailed with the Commis sioners and influenced their determina tion. The extension of the Chatham' itailroacl to Lockville, Avhich will be completed in a'short time, obviates many of the objections heretofore urged against its location on Deep River. The building material is there abundant and an immense water power for machinery, and it is said to be a healthy region and abundant in provisions. Tennessee.
