OUTRAGEOUS.

It seems that the Abolition fanatics at the
North are resolved to leave nothing undone
in producing total extinguishment of the good
feeling which has hitherto bound the people of
the North and South together as brethren Of
one common family. An Abolition paper pro-
poses to shut from every pulpit slave-holding
clergyman, and denying to every slaze-hoiding
church-member the Holy Communion who
may visit the North during the present sum
mer; and we are now prepared for further
proposition that Shareholders ofthe South shall
be denied Christian burial, should they I'M
fortunately throw off this mortal COLI in
free State. We trust the time viii soon ar
rive when our merchants may purchase their
goods in Southern ports, and when it viii be-
come fashionable to patronize Southern wa
tering places. Read the following anti Chris
ltiGn extract from an Abolition paper published
in New-York
The pursuit Of health is another bond,
that binds the two sections tog ether.
'Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath
will he give for his life" To evade the
cold OF our northern winters, the consump.
tive viii go to the South, even, though
they be aboltioni sts-and run the risk
Of Senator Praston's murderous threat.
While Saratoga Springs and the Falls of
Niagara viii be thronged every summer
with visiters fleeing from the sultriness
and sweltering of tie South, though anti
slavery meetings were held every week.
Such things are, must be, and will be.
We hope that aboliGonists throughout
the North will be prepared to meet our
southern visiters the present season in a
suitable manner. Let them be every
where treated with the courtesy due to
strangers and fellow citizens, while they
everywhere meet the evidence that their
conduct is condemned as ssthe highest
kind oftheft" and the meanest kind Of op-
preston. Let it DO seen that our object
IS to do them good, by retaining them
fom sin, as well as to relieve the slaves
from injustice. Slaveholding preachers,
and apologists for slavery, should find
themselves shut from the pulpit.
We have heard Of some cases, in which
q very deep and sa1utary impression was
made upon such men, by the closing Of
the pulpit doors against them. Slave
holding church members should be exclu-
ded from the communion, and everv abo.

Mr.. Kitchen, the chief engineer, who
left this city yesterday in the South Caro-
lima, also expresses a lively hope that those
who took refuge on the after cabin, the
largest part of the wreck, were taken off
by some vessel. This fragment he even
thinks might have drifcd ashore, and then
drifed to sea again.
Mr.. Kicthen confirms the account of
the Mate as to the explosion, and states
that every thing was in perfect order
when he left his watch.
Many particulars have been communi-
Gated of the suferings of the wrecked
and Of the condition in which they were
found, but it is necessary to draw vel
over a scene Of human wretchedness too
heart-rending to be submitted to the pub
lie gaze.

REPORT r.
WnM1NGToN, June 2I.


The steamer North Carolina, arrived
attbe New Inlet about o'clock, P. NJ,
and having ascertained that one or more of
The pilot boats we're at sea, proceeded i'm
,oediatelv Gun. When off the Frying
Pan Shoals, discovered a brig and school,
mar standing inn; ran down to them and
.ascertained the brig TO be the Hibernia,
Cant. Saunders, from Gloucester, Mass.
Can't. Saunders informed us that he had
Oussed that morning, two parts of the
wreck Of a steam boat, one of which ne
recognized to be the stern; that he pass
ed sufficiently near to see distinctly that no
person was on them.
The captain of the schooner states that
he passed several parts of the wreck, but
saw no person on any of them.
From these facts ii is hoped the suffe-
rers were removed from the wreck by
some steamboat or vessel, as several had
passed day or two previous, in the d.
rection tie wreck had drifted.
The Pilot boats are still at sea, and it is
supposed that they fell in with the parts Of
the wreck about 9 or 10 o'clock this
morning.

BANKs.-It is stated in the Brandon Re-
publican that considerable excitement prevails
in that town against the Brandon Bank. 1t
is also rumored tina. the President and num-
der of the Directors of the institution had re-
signed. By letter received in this city, we
learn that an injunction has been laid on the
Grenada Bank.

furnishes lis with no further additional M
tellipence relativ6 to the Pulaski, except
the following particulars: :,
a lady one Of the passengers saved
states H saw the after part Of the Pr
laskl. alser the separation Of the boat took
place. 50 far as 70 throw the rudder out of
water, ii which situation it remained as
long as II was visible from the portion of
the wreck she was on.
On Monday last a trunk belonging to
Mrs. Durham, containing one gold watch
40 or 80 dolla's in money, and some
clothes was picked up on Oak Island
Beach; q chest was also picked up by one
of the North Carolina Pilot Boats contain
ing some money and clothes owned by
Mr.. West.
A part ofthc Main Hull, and portion
.ofthe Promenade Deck had drltted ashore
near Smithville.
A part ofthe statement of the commit
tee of the passengers which we subJoln,
increases the hope that portion of those
who were on the stern of the P. when the
accident occurred and she separated, have
been saved by some vessel Whlcn mas Ia
ken them off. The first impression was
that the stern had sunk. 1t now appears
that at drifted of, soithout sinking, a0ib
many people on 1t, plainly uisibIe to those
on the forscaTd deck"
The statement of lady, one of the
passengers, that she saw ''the after part
Of the Pulaski sink so as to throw the
rudder out of water is rcconcilable with
that made by the committee of Passengers.
The ballast being in this part ofthe Boat
it would inevitably decline into the sea
so as to throw the rudder out of the water;
but the submersion would be but tempo.
rary and only until this part ofthe Steam.
er was relieved of the ballast, as even the
forward part of the boat recovered its
buoyancy after sinking about ten feet.

THE LATE JOHN A. HOGG-A few days
since we visited the grave, where repose the
remains of john A. HoGG, who, while living,
was one of the brightest ornaments of the
bar of Lowndes county, and whose amiable
manners and correct walk in life, endeared
him to all who had the pleasure of his acquain-
lance. We were panied to observe that his
grave is neglected and trodden down, and ex-
posed to the tramp Of cattle, and the profana-
ton of other animals. Why do not the
Bar take some measures to have the grave en-
closed, and thus evince that though dead, the
virtues of JOHN A. Hose is still Green In
their memories? No excuse can be made, no
reason can be given for Withholding this small
tribute to his memory, and we most sincerely
trust it willnot be long ere this duty IS per-
formed.

Col. Chapman Levy, the quondam calum-
niator Of Mr.. Calhoun and every believer in
the doctrine ofNulifcation,has come out in the
Democrat, under his own signature, asserting
that arumor that Mr. Calhoun had no conf
dencein Mr.. Van Buren, or his administration,
&c. which appeared edItoriaIly in the Argus of
May 29th, is false. The story was related to
us by South Carolinian, we believe from Mr..
Calhoun's own district, and perceiving in the
Columbia, S. G. Times, one ofhis own favor
tie organs an article IN which Van Buren, was
denounced, we published the story and rave
some credence to it. The letter ofCol. Lew
does not much shake our faith in the runor.
in respect to its most essential points. for the
man who could abuse Mr.. Calhoun and his mar
y in 1886 as having design to dissolve the
Union and to form Southern confederacy-
making themselves Kings, Princes and Mobiles.
and in 1888 pretending so great friendship
and intimacy with the same distinguished indi-
vldual as to converse with him on the runors Of
the day, would twist and turn political matters
g as to suit the purposes of his party. The
Col. perhaps has an Office in view-nerhars
he ismaking himself conspicuous tobe enabled
to find sufficient favor with the party as to sue
coed Judge TrOtter, or least tosecure a chance
OF running the next congressional race. At
all events he had something IN view when he
wrote the letter.

u Congress probably adjourned yesterday.

JUDGE TROTTER'S PRINCIPLES.
The Democrat refers US to Mr.. Trotter's
letter to the committee of the members of the
legislature, written last winter, as containing
his principles" If they arc all contained in
that letter we are forced to the conclusion that
the worthy gentleman is not overburthened
with thesevery essential ingredients Of a liberal
honest and enlightened statesman. In that
letter then we are to find Judge TrOtter's po-
Itical principles, and here they are, as therein
set forth:
list. You have enquired of me whether /
am in favor of the old Bank of the United
States answer, am not.
"2d. You ask me if am in favor OF Ma
tional Bank of any description! | answer I
am not"
This is famous declaration of principles so
far,-and now let US see what his views on the
sub-treasury are. We quote from the afore-
said letter:
:. In relation to the Sub-'Treasury scheme
to which you have been pleased to direct my
attention, viii simply remark that the sepa-
ton now existing between the Government
and the banks has been brought about by the
operation of law on the actual condition Of the
banks since they have refused to redeem their
issues and liabilities, and must and should con-
tinue until these causes shall be removed; and
that the propriety of the recommendation of
Mr.. Van Buren,, to perpetuate this separation
and to provide other fiscal agents in lieu of the
deposte banks must depend on future contisl-
gencies. In the present posture of the banks
and the actual condition of our currency, I can
see no objection to the plan Of the President, if
the contingency should ever arise upon which
the public revenue may be safely deposited
with the banks the depositc in my opinion be
made special one, not subject to be used as
the basis of banking by the institutions en-
ployed."
The above paragraph is rather puzzEng,
and we find it rather difficult to understand
what ''principle" it contains. These, we opine,
are not all ofJudge Trotter's principles there
is one, call it principle or a passion, what
you will, it is immutable with him, and may be
be summed up in these words: An Oueraceen-
ing lone Of office.
