We found an excellent break- j f;.ht at (Inn. Trolh'rjger'H Haw llivcr House, j nnd a sumptuous dinner at Col. Robards j Hotel in Salisbury. These gentlemen j treated us si (Jaim did the quints of old. j Ten miles above Sali.-.bury we left the j cars, and wtnt in a private conveyance, through a beautiful country, mile.-, to ; Rocky Mount Camp-ground, in the south-1 western corner of Iredell Comity. J .Services commenced on Friday night J and closed on Wednesday morning. Broth- j re-n Barringer, Bibb, C. M. Anderson and! O.J. Brent, of the Conference, and Brcth-j reu B. Clegg and Brown, local preachers, j were present and labored with zeal and j Kucces.s. The congregations were large, j and in the main, orderly. A divine power . attended the aerviccs : and when we left! on Tuesday, 21 white persons and 0 color- j ed had been added to the church, there having been about that number of con- ; verts. Wc learn that when the meeting ! closed, more than 30 had professed faith in Christ. On Sunday, the cause of Missions was ! presented in an instructive and able dis- j course by Bro. Barringer, and a good col- j lection taken up, which would have been j larger but for a rain that scattered the I . ' i congregation. South Iredell Circuit was originally set-! tied chiefly by Presbyterians, with a few j Lutherans aid Hececers. But the bar-j liens to Methodism are giving way, and a! promising field of usefulness is opening; before us. Through the efforts of Bio.

A Better Plan. A largo number of families in the Eas tern part of the State are migratory. They Lave productive farms, many servants, and an ample income. They have as pleasant homes ns tas world has seen; but during the summer months, they seek for health in travel. Hundreds of them go northward, to the cities, to the springs, and to the sea-shore. From this course many evils accrue. The young, if not the elders, attending places of fashionable resort, become the slaves of fashion L.J'VWTver- ai.uLaiu'-Ja-ai5c,-iimd. sands of dollars are carried from the State, and scattered among those who are hostile to our institutions;. and weariness, lassitude and regret soceeed the fatiguing campaign of pleasure. Would not the following be a better plan ? If a change of residence during the sum mer months be necessary, let the time and iLe money be spent in North Carolina. Nags-Head and Beaufort on the sea-shore ; the Springs in Warren ; the pleasant vil lages and the mountains in the upper part of the State; all these offer every advan tage for health and reasonable recreation. The expense, the fatigue, and the danger to morals are less than must be incurred in a northern tour; economy, patriotism, and a conservative influence would be more re garded in this way. Those who are thus migratory, and Lave families will permit another suggestion. Let them purchase a small farm near some good eehool iu the hill country, to be used as a summer residence. A few servants can be settled en it, who will take care of every thing in winter, and be on hand, with the garden, the poultry, &c, when the family arrives in the Eummer. The children can board out in the winter, and be with the parents at their summer Lome during the months of migration. The expense will be less, the health better, and the result more satisfactory every way, than is the present mode of a Northern tour, during what is called the sickly season in the low country.

The agents who produce the event are free; the event is free. The doctrine of necessity applies just here ; the event oc curring, and we being in a position to know it, if it do occur, there is an una voidable necessity, that in case such an event should come to pass, we should know it. The event may have been con tingent; the agents maybe perfectly free. The event necessitates the knowledge of it. The knowledge of man, in its absolute sense, is limited to past events. But the knowledge of God exceeds ours, in that it extends to all future contingent events, and pierces through all the windings of --knWHeaglf Wtffo High. lor "us?"11 Wecan1 not attain unto it, until we " know as wc are known." But so far as knowledge can affect the freedom and responsibility of man, the effect of knowledge upon the action is the same, whether it be fore knowledge or after knowledge, the knowl edge of God or the knowledge of man. The action necessitates the knowledge of it; and the knowledge of an act does not at all operate as a cause to produce the act. The actor is a free moral agent, and is responsible for his action. Neither the knowledge of man nor of God can at all infringe upon the free agency and respon sibility of man. How different is this view from the doc trine of unconditional predestination 1 The former leaves man where God and the Bible place him, free and responsible, the proper subject of punishment and re ward; while the latter makes God the first cause of all sin, and contradicts the Bible, by regarding man as a mere machine ! "V e have neither time nor space to enter into the subject more fully. " The secret things belong unto God; the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children." And it is plainly revealed, that He that committeth sin is of the devil. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Wherefore, if any man think that he standeth, let him take heed lest Le fall." Eev. Dr. Doub's Articles. The subject discussed by Dr. Doub, and the thorough manner in which Le treats it, will amply repay the reader. We offer a suggestion, that the reader have a Bible at his elbow, and in every instance turn to the passage to which reference is made. This suggestion is the more important, as henceforth the argument is to be wholly scriptural, and Bible references will abound. Future numLers will not occupv so mueL space. The subject is one of deep inter est, and we bespeak an attentive perusal.

Some weeks since we permitted an es teemed correspondent to express his objec tions to snuff-dipping through our columns. Another friend, from whom we are always glad to hear, desires to know if he may present tne otner side ot the question. If he please, no. Deliver us from the snuff question !

A respected lady friend has sent U3 a letter, and given us an excoriation for in termeddling with female prerogative, which has taught us a lesson. The name of this lady friend we cannot reveal ; her letter we will not exhibit : but it is enough to say, that it made us feel as if all the snuff mops of the country were turned into scorpions to drive us to precipitate emigration.

Prepress cf Eelieion. Rev. Dr. Staart Robinson in a capital article ia the Presbyterial Critic, gives a most encouraging account of tLe progress of evangelical religion in the United States, He says : li After a careful comparison and bumming up of the religious statistics of the various denominations, the Evangelical bodies of the United States now number thirty thousand ministers, four millions of church members, sixteen million and a half connected by edueationjand sympathy with them, severity millions of dollars in vested in church property, twenty millions annually raised for the support of ordi nances at Lome, four millions for the spread of the church abroad, and twelve millions for sittings in their Louses of worship. In this estimate no account is taken of the many millions of dollars invested in schools, colleges, and seminaries, under the control of Evangelical denominations. Thus it ap- pears that, oat of the population estimated at twenty-six and-a-half millions, nearly two-thirds of the whole are members in full communion or under he direct influence of Evangelical churches."
