ijc ttuncrtiat WILMINGTON.?. C. TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1857 'J. I.ORING, Editor aki Proprietor. ABYSSINIA. In ihe church 6eivice. ihejr use the Bi ble, wilh Ihe .apocbryphal "books, in the Tigre ar Gheez language, which ia their language of literature. Baptism and the cucharist are administered according to the ritural or the Greek church, of which they have nil the festivals and fais. It is, however, peculiar to the Abyssininns, that persons of rank receive larger pieces of bread at the Lord's supper, and that no one is admitted to it before his 25th ycur, because they pretend that no one is account able for 6in before that age, and that all who die prior to it are sure of salvation. They consider the bodies of the dead as unclean, and hasten thdr interment Their small, round, conical churches stand on hills, near running water, surrounded by cedars, and are full of pictures. During the service every body is obliged to stand, ns in the Greek churches. The shoes are left at the door, and passing horsemen must 'dismount. The service, like that of the Greek church, consists in reading purts of the Bible and praying. The clergy, who are very ignorant, generally marry, and are distinguished by a cross, .which they offef to passengers to be kissed. The head of the Abyssinian church is called Abuna, (our father) and is generally ' taken from the Coptic priests, as the Abyssinians and the Copts keep up a communication with each other in Cairo. Under the abuna are the kamosats, or the chief priests of the secular clergy, the learned theologians and rrxHiks. The latter - pretend to be of the order of St. Augustine, and are divided into two classes. The members of one, living unmarried, reside in wealthy con vents ; those of the others, with their wives and children, live around the churches, supported by agriculture. Both sorts, as weli as the numerous nuns, travel about the country, trade in the markets, and do not appear scrupulously observant of their vow of chastity. The Abyssian clergy have neiiher a particular dress nor prculiaT privileges. Abyssinia is now divided in to three separate States, Tigre, Amhara, and EfaL The negus, or nagush, as the ' king of all Abyssinia was called before iis division, lives at Gondar, in Amhara, enjoying only a nominal sovereignty, and watched by the chief of that State. The Pope has several times attempted to gain over Abyssinia. An opportunity of redu cing ihe Abyssinians to the Roman church was offered by their war with the Turks, ia which the regent Helena Bought assist ance for David II., the minor negus, from the Ponuguese, in 1516. In 1520, a Por tuguese fleet, wilh soldiers and priests, ar rived in Abyssinia, and after the Turks and Gallas (a warlike, m untaip people, in the south and west of A ) had been repul sed, by the assistance of the Portuguese, towards the end of the L6tb century, the zealous Catholics obtained a footing, of which the Pope knew how to take ad van tnge. He sent Jesuits to cenvert the in habitants to the Roman Catholic religion, and a Portuguese colony supported their enterprise. In tho beginning of the -17th century, the Roman Catholic ritural was introduced; the Jesuit Alphonso ' Mend z was elected Patriarch of Abyssinia, in 1C26, the celebration of (he 7th day as the Sabbath abolished, and tho whole religious system accommodated to the Catholic mod el. But this favorable turn of -affairs was of short duration. The negus BasiliJus , began his administration in 1632, by yield i e . i r . l nig io tue wisnes oi wjo uiaturtiy ot me people, wuo were opposed 10 me itoman Catholic faith. He banished the monks with the patriarch, and ordered the Jesuits .who remained to be hanged. Almost all tho Catholic missionaries have since suf fered death, and all the attempts of the Roman propaganda to establish tho Cath olic faith in Aoyssinia, until the end of the last century, have p oved fruitless. In the western part of this country, arr indepen dent government of Jews has long existed. They call themselves Falashas, that is exiles; the State is called Falashajan Thy have their own government, which is allowed by the negus, on consideration found there a Jewish king, Gideon," and a queen, Judith. The customs of the Abys sinians are described by Bruce and Salt as exceedingly savage. They eat the raw and ; still quivering flesh of cattle, whose roar ing is to be heard at their feasts. A per petual state of civil war' seems the "mam cause of (heir peculiar brutality and bar barism. Dead bodies are seen lying in the streets, and serve as food to dogs and hyenas. Marriage is there a very slight connexion, formed and dissolved, at pleas ure ; conjugal fidelity is but little regarded. The rulers are unlimited despots in ecclesi astical and civil affairs, disposing of the lives of their subjects at pleasure. Abys sinia is full of high ranges of mountains, in which the Nile takes its rise. The cli mate, o i the whole, is fine, and the soil ex. ceedingly fertile. The vegetable and ani mal kingdoms are very rich, and afford many eper.ics peculi ,r to this country One of the most important natural produc tions of Abyssinia is salt, covering a great plain, which occupies part of the tract be tween Amphila and Massuah. The plain of salt is about four day's journey across. For about half a nr.le the salt is soft, but afterwards becomes hard, like snow which has been partially thawed, and consolida ted. It is perfectly pure : it is cut with an adze, and carried off by caravans. The country is rich in gold, iron, grain and fruits. Commerce is in the hands of the Jews, Armenians and Turks.

They were condemned ae heretic, at the coo noil of Chaleedon, Ina&L which main tained that In Cbriat two distinct nature war united In ottu person, and that without say ohanre, mixture or eon. fusien. This distinction without a difference fare rieeto a violent dispute.

Gil CAT FLA Rtl UP IN'ROXBURY Th Boston Ledger of ibe 25th says : Yesterday afternoon two young ladies, eTe rantljjCostumed, stepped, from thejeare of Providence . Railroad, at the Rpxbury sta tion, and. afterwards took rooms at a fash ionable hotel. Ia the afternoon a message or a note was sent to the' citji which pro bably contained information that the. ladies were at the hotel AboiU 9 o'clock a gay and dashing gentleman called at tb hotel, and immediately joined 'the party. After a grand supper and sparkling ; Champaign, the parties separated, as wa supposed, and the two ladies retired to their, room for. the night. - About II o'clock -1 uolher gentle man, who turned oi t'to be the husband of One of the women, arrived al the "hotel un der great' excitement, accompanied by a Roxbury police officer.. After a short con versation with the landlord, the sleeping room of the woman was entered, and ia stead cf finding two women they found one and the gay gentleman who arrived in the early part of the evening in bed together. A terrible flare up followed. ; The parties were arrested and locked up, and this morning were brought before the Police Court and held in 9800 for re-examination at a future day.

The interview between the wife and the injured husband, in the -Roxbury toombs this morning, was a painful one. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. . RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. As the special train with the Memphis delegates was passing Raccoon Mountain, about twelve miles West of Chattanooga on Sunday week, the axle of the baggage car broke, wjuch .caused thm car and one of the passenger cars to be thrown off the track. The scene, for a few moments, is described as one of terrible excitement and confusion. The passenger par was whirl ed into the air amid, the screams of the pas sei.grrs, the groans of the wounded and the awful crash of the timbers of the car. Several persons were slightly inj ired. One man'by the name of George Moore, a mem ber of No! 7 Invincible Fire Company of Memphis, was so severely wounded that he died after the arrival of the train at Chat tanooga. Paul C. Kay, a member of the Liberty Fire Company, Memphis,' had an arm broken. Another accident happened to the same train, about one mile and a half North of Social Circle, yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock, by the breaking of the truck-wheels of the rear car of the long train. "'. , . , ' . '. - . A- number of the passengers in the car jumped out, and one of them, Mr. C. Men del, a merchant of Memphis and a member of the German Rifles, was so severely in jured, that his life is despaired of. Qne other had his leg broken and several were slightly injuied. ' It fs but just to state that these accidents Occurred with bid ca'rs, which did not be-, long to the Georgia Railroad. - CRUEL WHIPPING. Harmon O'Hara, indicted at Uticn, H. Y., for causing the. death of his son by whipping and beating him in a Cruel man ner, was convicted of manslaughter in the second degree and sentenced on Friday week to six years in the State prison. Some parents seem to think tbey may teat their children as n.uch as they please, but this is a mistake; the law protects children from cruelty as well as dumb beasts.' , COWHID1NG AFFAIR. There was, prodigious excitement in a St. Charles street restaurant last evening, at late supper hour, (says the New Orleans Crescent of Friday week.) caused by one young gentleman gave another a most un merciful horse-whipping. It took place in the restaurant, right among the supper ta bles, and for a time the rattling of the" crockery and the scampering of the waiters was uncommonly spirited. We did not letrri what it was about furthar than 'that both gentlemen were from over the lake, and that the cowhided had written a 1et er to the cowhider's wife, which he (the cow hid er) didn't consider just exactly the.fhing for these polite times. , - Jones, (who thinks ttfat Smith has been a little too free.) "Mr. Smith, I wish to speak to you privately. Permit me to take you apart for a few moments." Smith, (who isn't in the least frightened,) "Cer tainly, sir, "if you'll promise to put me to gether again. . . ONE PRATS AND ANOTHER PUMP3. The ship Senator, which arrived at this' port, says the -New York Times, from Liv erpool 'ast week, in a leaky condition, met with a very severe gust of wind just after leaving port, on the 9th of April, in which she shifted her cargo and sprung a leak.- After several 'days of hard pumping, the crew becoming exhausted and discourag ed, notified the Captain that (hey should not pump any longer.. Cap t Coffin here upon assembled all hands. - Takingout his watch, he looked at it'and then at the men. and said, coolly; "It now'is just twelve o'clock ; at the rate the .ship is now leak ing, I calculate we shall all be in the oth er world at about. half past two. . 1 am go ing below to say my prayers," and went in to the cabin. - - - r A consultation was soon held. ' On old fellow declared he had rather . pump than pray, as he understood v better, and it e greed better with his constitution. In a. few minutes the Captain benrd the pumps going again lively as ever, and they did not cease going, except at short intervals, until the ship arrived at New York. " RATIONAL. A man ' residing in a - New - England town, at some distance from a near rela tive, received a message. one .cold evening in November, to hapten to his residence as he was in a dying state. When he arriv ed he was told that his reason bad entire; ly left him. The sick man presently turn ed his head, saying, in a famr voice, uWho is that ?" , - . V"V,-:.
