Mr.. EvANs:-I would submit a few things
by way of enquiry. 1t is true our county have
been supplied with the Bible-but why is it
that our Berkeley Society is as a clog to the
Parent Bible Society? Is it not because the
Officers thereof draw the purse string too
tight? Is it not because all do it? Is it not be-
cause those who have subscribed thereto do
it, some paying half their subscription and
say they wont pay the balance, and some pay
none of their subscriptions, and thereby cause
the good faith of our county Society to be mn
posed on by their not being able to pay up to
the Parent Society the debt they have owed
for some length of time. When men sub
scribe to any thing of the kind, is II not max
ing vow to their Maker; if so, let sach ex-
anime the following parts of Scripture: Ee-
clesiastes the 9Th chap. and yer: Acts 9th
chap. LIST and 18th verses inclusive; 20. Cor
Sth chap. 6 and verses. ,.
The following is the first expression Of SEN
timent we have heard from the South upon
the subject of the Presidents Message. The
source whence we derive it is entirely friendly
to the present Administration, which makes its
language the more worthy of remark Few
OF our readers can be made to realize the ex-
tent and depth of the feeling which actually
exists in the South upon this subect~.Nat.i Int.
From the Caroliaaa, (Edggieid, 5. g. Of
Dec. IL.
The Presidents Message arrived here by
express on Thursday at 10 O'Clock. We have
heard it read, but have not been able to pro
cure a copy for publication. 1t is decidedly
against the South on the great question that
now agitates the Union. 1t recognizes the
principles Of the protecting system in the most
odious shape. Our worst apprehensions are
realized. The South must be true to herself.
The Hercules in whom we trusted viii not aud
the wheel We hope our Legislature will
provide that this Republic take no harm
The Message exhibits the finances of the
country in prosperous condition, and con-
tains a Recommendation of the mad and deiu-
sve project to divide the surplus revenue a
mong the States, according TO the ratio OF re-
presentation-takes the side of Georgia IN
her Indian controversy, but exhibits much
mawksh humanity about the Savages; recon-
mends some changes in the organization oil
the Departments, &c. SC.
rive cannot conceive how this viii set on
the stomachs of those who have represented
the Message as being an able State Pa per
giving general satisfaction, SC. We repeat
that the composition of The Message is tole-
rable, although verbose. iesuitcal, and IN
| many respects obscure]

days ago with gentleman who had Just arri-

Of Vera Cruz. The Mexicon was a merchant
OF respectabllity, and he gave the following in
teresting and extraordinary account:
A few days before he departed from the

passage of man, unless the chain were I'M
locked for that purpose, but only to admit OF

sinister design, from the unprecedented hour
at which this request was made, and returned
for answer, that he should call on the Minister
in the morning. This answer was delivered,
and Mr.. P. on applying at the window. saw
sixty men about his house, armed with knives

it having been reported that he was to leave
