When 10 Stop.-We were taught this morning practical lesson. It has almost induced us to join the Pence Society, and flatteF the Autocrat of Russia. Passing by the pump from which our office is supplied with wafer, we found there two lads, ap- pfentlces in neighboring establishments, throwing water at each other, and mutually contending for the possession of the pump, with all their might and strength. At length the younger boy, finding himself overpow- cred, offered terms of peace. Retiring a short distance from the pump, he cried out lmploringly to his antagonist, "Now Jim why can't you be still you have wet me as much as I apet you" Jim's answer was brief but il put an end to the war. "Well," said he, " mind how you begin it next time" !" atd with all the dignity of conqueror, he filled his bucket and marched off.
 We thought to ourself whether all quar- rels would not sooner terminate, if either party knew when to stop. We even won- dered, in our disposition to put the princi- pie into practical effect, whether we had not wet fbe Charleston folks as much as they wet us. Upon the whole, we came to the conclusion that we had, but hope they will mind next time how they begin it.

.johes upon io,sysrs.-The English pa- pers state that certain member of the bar, remarkable for his red face and irritable temperament, goes by the appropriate name of the "red precipitate." A better joke than this however has been committed at the expense of one of the gentlemen of the long robe remarkable fer his high sta- ture and at the same time racnnt counten- aHce. He has been christened !" Ihe long vocation.n Another in New Hamp- shire, whose complexion indicated more extensive practice at the bar of the Hotel than of the Court, was said by Judge V. to he very deep red lawyer.
 A Lawyer once pleaded with great abili- y the cause of his client for near an hour. When he had done, his antagonist, with supercs!ieus sheer, said, he did not under- stand word the other said Who neatly replied, I belieue so, sir, for soas speak ing low.'

PAYMENT FOR THE ESTABLISHED RELI- GIoN.-In Ireland there are about s,000,- eco souls, of these fourteenth are pro- testants of the established Church> The Dissenters and Catholics, amounting to 7,4o0,0o0, support their own churches and that of the establishment besides. Tho cost of having the Gospel preached 10 these few members of the established church. di- reetiy aid indirectly, reaches the incredible sum of more than $l6,0o0,O00 for 600,- 0o0 0persons. Iii France, with with population of 32,00o,00o, the cost ot supporting the National Religion is only $6,000,000 Well might member of the House of Commons say, that this support of the church in Ireland was an outrage on every principle of justice, and offensive alike to the eye of God and man.

When the first number of this periodi

that the subscription list must be greatly

Early in October the second number will

that others who intend patronislag the

speedily as possible, in order that some

The arrangements which have been
made for having the paper properly con-
Quoted, leave no doubt Oh the mind OF the
publisher, that its columns VIII always be
well filled. He cannot, however, ioroear
10 remark, that his efforts TO furnish mat
Ter of a varied and attractive character
NAV be more effectual, if those who are
competent TO do so, not only in Virginia;
butin the other Southern States, will aid
him with contributions. All must desire
to raise up literary character for the

We expressed a hope, also, when we
heard Of the death of Gen. Learen,corth
and the sickness Of several officers and
many privates Of the Dragons, that the
attachment marching westward would
brhwith return. 1t gives US pleasure to
state. now, that they did return, as we

Col. Dodge, we understand, procured the |
release of little boy, about ten years off
age, son of the late Gabriel N. Martin,
Of Miller county, who was carried off by
the Indians some months ago, at the same
time that his father was murdered by
them. A negro man belonging TO Mr. |
Martin, who was captured at the same
fine, has also been restored.

The subscriber proposes TO publish in

with the above title:
The advantages Of periodical literature
are so well known and so highly appreci-
ated at the present day. that the subscfi-
Der would be contented that this pros
pectus should contain nothing more than
mere annuncialion of the manner in
which the contemplated paper will he

that the prevalcucy Of an opinion that
purely literary paper cannot succeed IN
this section Of country, has been the cause
OF the failure Of many such undertakings.
heretofore. II is only deemed necessary
10 ask the public TO discard an opinion,
which, predicated on no proper grounds,
is still the great and almost only reason Of
the depressed state Of this branch of litera-
ture 10 Virginia and the south generally;
for surely the fact that there is no part Of
our country which is not OVERLOOKING with
foreign literary periodicals.. is an evidence
lof an interest IN and spirit TO support
literature. And most certainly, when il is
lrecollected that the south has ever relied
with honor and success upon her own re-
sources in every other respect, no one will
doubt her ability to build up and maintain
the character of literary works within her
own boundaries. Let it therefore be seen
that spirit to support and the talent to
maintain should be the only reasons Of the
absence Of these literary repositories in
lany country; and let liberal patronage

lation 10 the treasures OF southern GEMS.
