which had previously been selling at
IL, Is, had suddenly advanced TO the
high rate Of IL, 16. There had been We.
ry extensive operations in the market.
The last accounts from New Orleans
state contracts had been made with
some OF the Louisiana planters for
their sugar crops at eight cents per
pound.
The New York Mercantile Adver-
tiser is Of opinion, from present APP
pearances, that the consumers of this
luxury win have to pay high prices
for il the ensuing year. We are told,
however, that when the scarcity is
caused by early frosts injuring the
cane, as has been the case this season,
molasses will be more abundan. /; so
that this luxury for the poor may next

~ AT the late meeting Of the Pres.

E At the late meeting of the Pres
bytery of Winchester held in Fredericks-
burg-the Rev. Messrs. VIM. William.
son, s. B. Wilson and VIM. Hill, D. D.
were appointed to prepare preamble
and resolutions expressing the views Of
the Presbytery Of Winchester, on the
present agitating question of Immediate
Abolition.
This Committee after some consulta-
tion and reflection presented the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, and sent to the
public press.
Whereas our whole Southern country
has recently been greatly agitated by the
organization of certain Abolition Socie-
ties in -slaveholding States, and the
publication and circulation by them Of
Papers and Tracts evidently, in our 0.
pinion, tending to ALLEVIATE the affections
Of our fellow~citiz ems from one another.
and engendering bitter and lasting ami
mostly among the good people of our
hitherto happy country; and whereas
this interference with the civil condition
of the slave in the slaveholding States,
is, in our opinion, a palpable violation Of
their constitutional rights, manifest de-
parture from the example ofour Divine
Redeemer and his Apostles in similar
circumstances, and tends to render the
condition of the slave far less comforta-
BILE than il was before, and to put in Jeo-
pardy the peace g. welfare Of the whole
country; therefore,
RESOLVED, 1. That the Presbytery
Of Winchester, ardently desiring the per.
manency Of our present happy Union and
the continuance Of that forbearanee and
fraternal affection which distinguished
the Fathers of our country, do hereby
declare their disapprobation and abtpr.
renee of the principles and conduct of
the advocates of immediate and univer-
sal Abolition. and unhestatingly avow
their belief that the course recently pur-
sued by them is unsound, unwise, vio-
lation of their duty as citizens, a depar-
tnre from the example ofChrlst and his
Apostles, and injurious. both to master
and slave.
2. That in view Of the effects of Abo.
lition efforts upon the moral condition OF
the slave, in depriving him Of religious
opportunities which he enjoyed before
with little if any molestation, We are con-
strained to pronounce the Abolitionists
the worst enemies of the black man,
Whatever their intention may be.
8. That the Synod of Virginia be res
pectfully requested to express their views
fully on this agitating question, that our
fellow citizens and our brethren, in every
part of our country, may know the sem
timents and feelings of the Prasbyterians
of Virginia upon this subject.

Valuable Discouery.-We have just
been informed that an extensive guam
tity of sGYpsuM," or Plaster Of
Paris, has been discovered on the
lands owned by Campbell Hendrixon
and others, on WINS creek thiIteen
miles above Cumberl and. Mr.. HI. had
some ofthis plaster ground year or
two ago, and put on clover, and il
proved quite equal to the best import
ed plaster in its effect. ii has also
been tried in various other ways, with
such beneficial effsct, as to render i,
certain Of being Of superior quality.
Several tons of it, we are fur Their in.
formed, will be ground at Mr.. Cor
nelius Devore's mill, this winter, for
further experiment. MIR. H. and O.
theirs are now making preparations to
work the plaster on an extensive scale;
having purchased an eligible site, they
purpose the erection Of a mill, &C., and
there can be no doubt but their invest
ment will prove highly valuable and
profitable.
This discovery adds another to the
many advantages this section Of coun-
try possesses 10 articles OF trade, which
will be rendered doubly valuable when
our different work Of internal improve
n,ent are completed and avenues to the
different markets are opened, Of which
our Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will
afford one Of the most important means
oftransportation.- CiuiHan.

The actual state OF affairs, we be-
lieve to be this. There has been no
official communication by the French
government 10 this, OF the passage Of
the law voting the indemnity, and no
demand for explanation has been
made. On the other hand, no official
communication has been made on. our
side to the French Government, of the
approval of Mr.. Liyingston's last des..
patch but a demand has been made
and refused for the first pay mest OF the
indemnity.
Both parties thus stand aloof.
France will, i, is clear, teke no steps,
until apprized of what this Govern.
n ent viii do. No step now will be
taken on our side, probably, until Con-
gress shsll meet, when the President,
in his Message. will communicate the
exact state of aaairs, and, If he is dis
Greedy advised, Will submit that, with
out comment, to the discretion and
disposal Of Congress-.
There can be no necessity for the
President to effer anew, either opinions
or suggestions, as TO what should be
the course Of the nation. He stated
last year what his views we're; and,
inasmuch as Congress must after all
determine the part which this country
is to take, il is as we'll that the Presi-
ident, having done all that his duty re.
quired, should leave the matter with
them.
France, it is quite certain, will moi
take the initiative in any hostile acts.
