" The North boasts of iu UltnUnre. We have no
objection to giving the free States the credit of a
great deal of sinless literature, while we charge
them, with the most atrocious misuse of cultiva
ted intellect, in assailing the Constitution, and in
eudeavoring to bring this fair portion of the U
oion -, into disrepute, not , only, among -their own
people, but throughout the world. V:
We will at thi lime notice one cae, illast ra
ti te of many, where the profession of religion is
made, while the doctrines intended to be incul
cated must tend 16 tbb'most horrible results.
' Un Stows, who Is' absurdly called reverend, to
denote his moral rank, with the scarlet beast bis
wife, are now in- Surope, consorting with the en-,
emies of republican liberty, and Using every ef
fort to spread abroad aentirnent that may create
detestation for the federal' Constitution ami ha
tred for the people of the 9oeih. With the work
of the wretched' thing whom-we conventionally
call a woman, we have now to do- and while we
by no means bclieW the cfibct desired will reach
Ihe most distant attamia'eirt,yet It is well enongh
to shadow.it forth, to show - what this authoress
is w iiliag to do for the sake of Move r. '
Ja the South, where domestic peace and social
happiness and order now prevail, In as eminent
a degree as any ether ilce oa earthv ibis woman
would induce revwlt and. murder. . Would sever
tfie strong tie that biod In aSectjoothe master
and the. slave and where peace a sd harmony
now prevail in the southern households,, would
bring in the demon of destruction in all the hor
rid' forms of violence", cruelty end blood. We
need not enter into details. All who are in the
least conversant with the history of our race,
know' tint language- is too weak to dcribe th
sounes tlkst arise from unbridled passion and fanat
ical r venge. All this is done for what 1 Not
for any kind sympathy for the colored race, as
this professed Christian would have the world
believe ; because all she says an I does enures to
their discomfit ure ; but for MOsr the history of
the case makes it transparent,- that monby hi the
sole object.' Not one speck of honor, honesty,
patriotism or christhiuity, dwells .in her bosom,
nor la that of the reverend noodlo, her husband.

merica, of her new workcqme npon us with aar
sured verity and many thousands of dollars
ill be gained in thit christian work exceeding .
the rich speculation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
We know rnangbiaft the eoatents of the latter
named w erk to bnderstsnd itseharact'er. In the do-
scriptloas of-tW'qnalroon''snd others, held up
M the vktims of violation is shown a mind and
heart .intensely dissipated Jsith impure deire
and; uoboly thought. , Euoixe.Scii fires up the

And now we will endeavor to show how Chris
tian sympathy for (be slave is expressed in the
SonlUi In this we will present one case, as- illus
trative of many, as we did in the other ; and thus
show the- difference' between the trne and the
fake. We select the Church of which wo are a
member, the M. EpiscopaL In every congrega
tion room is provided far the slave and free peo
ple of color, who worship with the whites, and J
one portion of the day is exclusively devoted to'
the. former. In many places thoy hare separate
churches, appropriated solely to their use. Our
preachers go into the plantations and have stated
times for preaching to the slave laborers; many
give all their services to the slaves j travelling
under the bunting heat of summer and through
chilly rains and sleets in winter. And for what
do tKey do this! 1 For mosetI No, no, no. A
supply of tood and decent clothing is aTT they
etvenaqf for in the service of Christ ; and. wh re
these are not abundant, they uncomplainingly
work, worki work. -And -this is 'not alL ' The
whole body of our Clergy; with rery rare excep
tions, labor "to christianize the master and chris
tianize the slave;" enjoining upon all that "every
sonl should be subject to the higher power that
"the j owcr that be are ordained of God," and
tbat obedience to the laws of the laud is an es
sential feature in the C&ristian character. And
thus do these met show, that
"Soft and sweet as looks of charity,
"Or voice of lambs that bleat upon the monu-
takis,
Are the word jot Christian meekness;
"Mission all dirhio the law of love, sole man-
date."
Ah, bnt these are poor ereatnres, very unlike
the reverend and learned clergy of Old and New
England. " Ah, again, yow have ia neither of the
Englanda, nor anywhere on earth, men of superi
or Intellect or more imbued with all the essentials
of the highest ctrttrvation, than are large numbers
of the M. JB- 'CJergy South. .The. most of them
go through work, to which physical day labor ia
almost a pastime. , We know these things to be
so, and therefore speak with confidence. Often,
when called by tbe necessities of Church organi
sation to preside and teach in Institutions of
learniog, do they from tbe same necessity, go a
gain into the itinerancy, of stationed service.
Thus opposing the enemy at every point of at
tack, where they believe "the Master calls j." re
pelling tbe assaults or Infidelity, and the inroads
of vice and crime, with burning eloqaeeee and
holy a?al, like unto . those on whom rested, in
times of old. the cloven toegaes of fire. This 1

' A LI VESN A KB IN A LITE MAN.
A gentleman, whose name we did not learn,
aays the San Francisco Golden Eagle, arrived in
this city from Bird's Bill, for the purpose of pro-
cm ing surgical advice iu relation to the possibil
ity of removing from the stomach a large snake,
which has inhabited that locality for the past iif-
teen years. Exactly at what time the reptile was
taken into the stomach the sntferer is not aware.
He felt lu presence in the vicinity of the kidneys
many years ago; but the pains experienced, al
though sometimes acute and troublesome, occa
sioned no alarm Until about two years since,
when, one day feeling quite unwell, he placed his
hand upon bis bowels, and distinctly felt the snake
crawling within him. Since then it has grown
enormously, and haa attained a length of at least.
fifteen inches, and a size round the middle of five
or six inches. Its proportions can be pretty ac
curately ascertained, as its entire shape is fearful
ly obvious to the touch. - It is quite active, aud
possesses an insatiable appetite, judging f. oni the
amouut of food and water consumed by the suf
ferer, who is continually parched with thirst, and
not anfrequently requires from three to four gal
lons of fluid daily. - Throush the recommenda
tion of an Indian, he has lately found considera
ble relief from the incessant thirst by drinking
water liberally diffused .with vinegar. He has
made several ineffectual attempts to dislodge the
"varmint ""by starvation and the free use of stim
ulants. On one occasion, he abstained from both
food and water for three days, in the hoje of
bringing the occupant to some sort of terms.
The first day, the snake became nnsasy ; the sec
ond, boisterous ; and the third, furious, but still
the man held out. . At the end of the third day.
however, his snakeship commenced an attack np
on the walls of his prison, with what appeared to
be a tolerable full set of teeth, and the result was
an immediate supply of food more agreeable to'
both bartics. . As may be supposed, the man is
reduced to a perfect skeleton, under the extreme
torture of mind and body preying upon him
night and day, but he does not despair of finding
a surgvon in the city sufficiently skilful to make
au incision iu the abdomen and remove the rep
tile. We have read of similar cases ; but this is
the first that ever came under our own observa
tion and we hope it may be the last, for - we
have felt "all overish" ever since.

DEATH OF WILLIAM R. TABER, Jr. .

quence of the peremptory Challenge of the latter

The communications complained of, bad reference

pursue the merits of the question iuvolved. In
tbe presence of death, tbe death of one who has
been intimately associated with us for years, and
who breathed as true a heart as ever best on the
soil of Carolina, we bow our heads iu sorrow
and in suffering, and pass by all considerations of
party conflict, in tbe sense that we have lost a
friend, true aud tried, and a brother iu the hard
duties that make np our connection with tbe pub

more self-sacrificing spirit it will not .bo often
that the community will pa called npon to mourn
over the extinction of a more brilliant and gene

RUMORS FROM PANAMA ANOTHER RIOT.
A report prevailed, at Panama at last accounts
to. the effect that a treaty of peace bad been
agreed to between Gen. Walker and the Presl
dent of Costa Rica. Another report was that
1,000 men of the Central American forces were
on the march to Granada to attack "Walker ; and
still another report was, according to the New
York Herald,' that just before the Illinois left
Aspinwall a telegraph despatch reached Colonel
Tolten from Panama, to the effect that a bloody
riot bad taken place there, and that some ' four
teen or fifteen persons had been killed and a large
number of others badly beaten. It was also sta
ted that a member of the Legislature bad "been
shot in bis chair. The riot grew out of political
excitement, originating with the Governor's elec
tion last June, when Cairo, who was known to be
the " white" candidate, had a large majority.
Tbe blacks subsequently determined to fight to
prevent hid inauguration as such, aud also to pre
vent bis-' legislative declaration by force of arms.
The excitement haa continued ever since, and aa
stated before several hundred marinea from
the U. S. ships Independence and St. .Mary's late

A SOUTHERN INVENTION.
To Rail Road Men Something nev and Useful I
Our neighbor, Dr. Ze Butt, of. Liucoluton, has
invented, and patented one of greatest labor-saving
machines of tbe day, which he calls a " Self
Loadimo Cabt," and. which la certainly a most
valuable Invention, particularly to those who are
engaged or , interested in grading Railroads ; or
in excavating or removing earth. '
These carts are made to be drawn by either
one, or two horses or moles ; are very simple and
strong in their construction ; not at all liable to
get out of order, and are operated by tbe driver,
who loads and unloads the cart without even so
much as getting down from his seat, and in much
less time than can be done by a dozen men with
shovels in the old manner of loading carts.
To the Rail Road men, this invention is invalu-l
able,' aud we Would particularly call their atten
tion to it, as many Rail Roads are now in pro
gress In the South, and labor high, aud laborers
scarce. ... j .
THE PENNSYLVANIA BARGAIN. l
We believe that there can no longer be sny
doubt a to the combination between the Black
Republicans (Fremontets) aud the Know Nothings
(Fillmorcitcs) of Pe nnnjlvauis, with a view to
defeat the Democracy, both at thu'Slate election
of the 14th of October and at tbe Presidential
election of the 14th of November." The follow
ing are said be Jlie terms of the compact : In
the first instsnce.it ia agreed that the Fremonters
and Fillmoreite shall combine to elect the Know
Nothing candidates for Canal Commissioner and
tbe other officers to be chosen by tbo.Stafe at
large, as alxo the candidates for Congress -fi? the
districts where the Fillmoreites aro strongest,
and vice versa where tbe Black Republicans are
strongest; If tbe result of the vote aTT ho Stale
election justifies the measure, it is hen proponed
to-run a double electoral ticket against Mr. Bu
chanan; while, in the. contrary event the Fre
monters will not run aoy ticket, but will support
tho Fillmore electoral ticket, on condition thai
fbey (tbe Fillmore electors) agree to cat their
votes for Mr. Frcmout, in case he gets in the oth
er Sistevmore electoral voles than Fillmore. The
Know Nothings may have tbe S'ate offices with
tbic patronage and eavolument, provided as a re
ward for this set of liberality on the part of the
Fremonters, they support the Black Republican
csadidste for the Presidency. , i

THE THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, i
Five States havo already elected Represent
atives to. the next Congress, viz., Arkanaas, Mis
souri, lowa, Vermont ana aiaine. comparing
the results with the delegations in the present
Congress from the same Stslcs, the Democrats
have lost one member in Iowa and one in Maine,
and have gaiued two in Missouri, not including j
Blair of St.' Louis, who, though calling himself a
"Democrat," is hot reliable as such. He is of
the Benton school of politics. So -far, then, the
Democrats stand at least as well in the nest Con
gress as iu the present. In the three States which
are to choose Congressmen on the 14th of October,
we expect a gain of several Democratic members.
In the present lower IIoue of Congress there is
not a Democrat from Ohio, there are or.ly two
from Indiana, and only six from Pennsylvania.
Total from these three States, eight Democrats,
.out of an aggregate of 57 members. All the rest,
except Mr. Broomo of Pennsylvania, are classed
by the Whig Almanac as' Republicans. The
Democrats ought to gain at least a dozen mem
bers in these three Slates, and more if they can
get them. Journal of Commerce.
SHEPHERDS.
Some persona being in conversation the other
day on religion subjects, one of them remarked
that a certain clergyman, who had been the shep
herd of a flock, bad become so banghty that b
did not know some of tbe members of his own
church, because they were poor. Another ob
served that he must be. a singular shepherd not
to know tbe sheep of his own flock. A little
girl, ''about eight years old, who was busy at her
play, replied. . .
Mama, he ought to do as grandpa used to do
with his sheep paint their noses."
DECREASE OF THE LEGAL FRATERNITY
IN ENGLAND. .
The London Globe announces tbat there are no
less tbsn 40 seta of chambers now to let in tbe
Inner Temple, and 83 in tbe Middle Temple, and
that tbe entries of students are about one-fifth of
what they were ten years ago. The call to the
bar have fallen off to a mere nothing, compared
with what they were formerly. Whereas the
Middle Temple used to call a few years ago from
120 to 125 year, 20 is now about the average,
