The Instruction. There appear to be little or
no foundation for the story of San instruction
among all the negroes in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi." letter is published in the N. Orleans
Picayune, dated Bayou Sara, July 26, which
says:
GAS was agreed upon last Wednesday, the
court met to-day for the purpose of trying the
prisoners. On examining the principal witness,
he acknowledged he was frightened by whipping,
and knew nothing about the conspiracy. Ac-
cordngly, the slaves have all been liberated, and
the instruction pronounced humbug.
The white man who was suspected of being
leagued with the negroes, is still IN Jail, but l
expect will be liberated He has not good sense,
it is reported, and if that is the case, he cannot

in our cherries solitude. 1t was time for
many beautiful thoughts and fine COMPARE
sons, but the dampness was exceedingly dis
agreeable, and altogether too chilly for loaf
ers at that atmospherical elevations; our bow
els also yearned strongly for the dinner we
had left at the foot of the mountain, so after
resolving that as it was our first view it like
wise should be our last, we beat a retreat
The fog was thick, and our stomachs were
empty-swingng ourselves from branch to
branch, we soon found ourselves on level
with our dinner, which was dcvoured with a
celebrity which must have been astounding to
any whose appetites had not been sharpened
by u similar excursion to the land of fogs
The only inference have been able to draw
from the visit, is that Fingal's shadowy he
roes, the Children of the Mist ,must all have
been great eaters, if their larder was equal
to their appetites-and that the preacher
who, when challenged to draw an inference
from the following text" the asses snufcd
the east wind " inferred that they never
would have grown fat upon it, was altogeth-
er in the right, unless the asses had been as
provldent as we were. II is certainly quite
unsupportable, that even an ass should sub
NIT himself to such an appetite whetting
process without something better than "a
bunch of thistles in reserve. Another argu-
ment in favor of the supposi;on is, that an
ass of all animals has approached nearest
man; (and what man would be 50 improvi-
dent an ass being the only animal on record
that ever spakc. Balaam's ass not only
talked but reasoned. For fear that you may
consider this dissertation upon asses the re-
suit of fellow feeling, l shall say nothing

Though these seem to be public misfor-
tunes, they may be converted into bless
lngs if we will but realize our true condi-
ton and properly improve the occasion.
by law OF our nature expressed by
proverb of immemorial antiquity-neces-
sity is the stern parent of almost every
great and useful improvement. No au-
thority less imperious could have drawn
mankind from the comfortless caverns of
savage brutality to the happy mansions of
social and civilized life.
While Providence seems to have or
dained it as a law of human improvement,
that communities should not 60 forward
much in advance of their necessities, he
has benevolently endowed them with mo-
raj and intellectual faculties always equal
to the emergencies in which they may be
placed. May we not confidently hope,
therefore, that the planters of South Caro-
lima, under the awakening influence of the
great law to which I have alluded, will
summon up all their energies to carry our
agriculture to point of high perfection,
that will fulfil all the requirements of our
actual condition.
Gentlemen, I sincerely hope and de-. I.
voutly pray that some of us, at least, may
live to see the day when this ardent hope
of every patriotic citizen will be fully
realized, and when South Carolina will
be as proudly distinguished by all the en-
during monuments of prosperous agri-
culture. as she ever has been by an en-
lightened population sincerely devoted to
the principles of constitutional liberty,
and unconquerably resolved to defend
them.

THE HUGUENOTS.

The horrors of the Partisan massacre
of. the Huguenots on Bartholomew's day,
August "a, 1872, have generally been
imputed to the treacherous dissimulation,
and ferocious bigotry of Catherine de
Medici, the Queen Regent of France. in
connection with the sanguinary ambition
of the Guises, who then were so power
full at ber court. Notwithstanding. let
ter from Catharine to Pope Plus w. writ
ten about ten years prior to that ''decd of
darkness" has recently been discovered
and published, which proves that at that
period she had very little attachment to
the superstitions of Popery. One para
graph comprises historical facts Of great
importance; and the original is quoted,
because letter from Popish Queen to
a Roman Poutf, decidedly in favor Of
Protestantsm, is a curiosity. The origi-
nal is found in the Royal Library at Paris,
Volume s476, among the Betthume Manu-
scripts. The Queen Regent thus wrote.
Considering, most Holy Father, how
great is the number Of those who have
separated themselves from the Roman
Church, it is impossible to subjugate
them, either by law or by military force.
The Mobiles and the Magistrates. by
their example, draw the multitude to
that failh''-meaning the doctrines Of the
Reformed Churches. Happily, in this
wilhdrawment from Rome, no monstrous
opinion has succeeded, either Antibaptist
or Antitrinitarian. All of them"-the
Huguenots-"recogniz the twelve Arti.
cles of the Apostles creed; which. if it
could be granted to them, it would be the
best means TO consolidate the two Chur.
ches. To secure that result, would it
not be useful to multiply Conferences, and
to command the preaching of peace and
charity. There must also be the endea,
vor, by an unhappy obstinacy, to avoid
the further separation of those who still
adhere 10 the Catholic Church. would

be in both kinds-the psalms should be
sung in vulgar tongue for those who ap-
proach the holy table-in fine, the festi.
val of the Holy Sacrament should be a.
boIished."
The precedieg extract from the letter OF
Catharine de Medici to Pope Plus ~. un-
folds the great extent of principles of the
Reformation; the very excellent charac-
ter of the Huguenots Of that period: the
reasonableness and necessity of the Pro-
testant demands for additional amend
ments; and the profound conviction a.
