The following correspondence we pre-.
sumo has fully ended The personal dilficul'
ty between Messrs. Pickens and Stanley.
The cause and character of that difficulty
was sufficiently set forth in the publica-
tion we made yesterday. The first stage
ofthe affair was left forlhe reader 10 gather
from what followed: II appears that after
the adjustment, Mr.. Stanley published his
original remarks, corrected by himself, and
thus gave sufficient reason TO suppose that
notwithstanding his distinct disavowal
of all Intention 10 insult MIR. Pickens, he
was willins3in an indirsct way 10 claim 10
himself the advantage of having inflicted
au irnavcnged wrong. In the following
correspondence MIR. Stanley disavows all
such intenlion-and though every one must
feel tina, he had disregarded, through igno-
rance or designlh he prOprieties his then Sit
uatiop, sliltYe do not see how Mr.. Pickens
could re(use'tis disclaimer of all intention
TO offend, as satisfactory. If Mr.. Stanley
had fell it due 10 himself to make The pub.
LEGATION alluded to, he ought to have felt
that it was dlso due TO himself 10 make
the explanation of his motive, before it
was required+r Charleston Mercury.

Use and abuse Of the Press.-The use
of the Press is to diffuse correct informa-
tion-,o enlighten and insiruct-lo incul-
cate morality, raise the genius, and
10 mend your heart"
1t is an abuse of the press 10 misrepre-
sent facts, motives, or aciions-to incour-
age immorality--to use abusive terms, or
10 expose the occurrences at the domestic
6reside. II is not our intention 10 enter
upon this wild field i; we shall con6ne our
attention to one poinl-the abuse Of the
press in dragging before the public matters
which are entirely Of a private character.
Newsmongers, in their eager search after
novelty, do no. sufficiently discriminate
between tha, which is of strictly private
nature; and hence we have events narrat-
ed, which, however they may minister 10
the morbid appetite, should remain seclud.
ed from public view. Petty disputes be-
tween individuals-the quarrels oflovers-
domestic discord-runaway malches-dis.
appointed hopes-every thing is now
thought worthy Of being paraded before
the public. If the public morals could be
improved by such publications, some ben
lift would result from the violation Of pro.
priety; but this is not pretended. The
sole object appears to be, to create de
mand for the paper in which such thing:
are inserted; and this purpose is answered
10 great extent. The press should he
terror to evil doers, but should disdain to
resor, to the family sanctuary, to drag
forth and publish its secrets.

zen named Pratt, was engaged with one

On The way to The scene Of murder, the ne:

BY REV. THOMAS RAFFLEs.

In the morning souLhr- -sead-
Nor at e4esMithhold thy hand,
Who can tell which may succeed,
Orif both alike shall stand,
And glorious harvest bear,
To reward The sewers care.
In the morning SOW thy seed
In the morning Of Thy youth;
Prompt 10 every generous deed,
Scatter wide the seeds o! truth:
He whose sun may set at noon
Never can begin too soon!
Nor withhold thy willing hand
In the even,ide of age,
Fen to life's las, lingering sand,
In thy closing pilgrimage,
Seed may yet be sown by lhee,-
Sown for immortality
"By all waters" be it sown-
Every where enrich the ground,
Till the soil with lhorns o'ergrown,
Shall with fruit and flowers abound;
Pregnant with sweet perfume,
Decked in Edeu's loveIiest bloom
Sow it in the youthful mind;
Can YOU have fairer field
Be it but in faith consigned,
Harvest, doubtless, it shall yield,
Fruits Of early piety,
All that God delights to see.
Sow it on the waters wide,
Where the seaman ploughs the deep;
Then with every flowing tide,
You the blessed fruit shall reap,
And the thoughtless sailor prove
Trophy to the cause you love.
Sow j, mid the crowded street.
Lanes and alleys dark and foul,
Where the teemins masses meet
Each with an immortal soul,
Sunk in deepest moral gloom,
Reckless of the coming doom.
Sow it mid the haunls Of vice
Scenes Of infamy and crime;
Suddenly, may Paridise
Burst, as in the northern cline,
Spring, with all its verdant race,
Starts from Winters cold embrace.
Sow it with unsparing hand,
',Tis the Kingdoms precious seed;
'Tis the Masters great command,
And His grace shall crown the deed,
He hath said the precious grain
Never shall be sown in vain
Long, indeed, beneath the clod,
|, may lie, forgot, unseen
Noxious weeds may clolhe the sod,
Changing seasons intervene,
Summers hea, aud Winters FROST
Yc, that sccG shall nc'cr be lost
