Mr. Editor:
Before this, you have probably
heard that MCook's infamous resolution,
gratuitously casting reproach upon the
Rev. Thomas Hunt, has been rescinded,
by the almost unanimous vOte of The
Congregation al CarroItou, and 10 make
the rePa'atlon as nearly perfect as pos
slble, resolution, inviting the services
of that venerable gentleman, has been
adopted with like Unanimtv. This is
as ii should be; and | hope that tho just
re buke thus administered to M'Cook
and his satellites will teach them and
others, (if any such there be, that The
a!tars OF Religion are not TO be desecrat-
ed and polluted by the malgnty and
corruption Of partisan politicians That
vile attempt Of M'Cook and his compan
ions, to introduce party politics into the
services OF the Church having been sig
nally dscomftted, shall not trouble

for me to add, that the Church has off,

for the purpose Of nominating candi-

out in their general order some rare

ten, or one hundred paper bubbles for

WArEREE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.--We publish
to-day, che proceedings of the second meeting OF
this Association, from which it will be seen that its
members are taking active and efficient measures to
advance the great interests which the Society was
organized to promote. We are pleased to observe
that additions are making to- its numbers, and we
trust that its efforts in the cause of Agriculture may
bc crowned with abundant success.
The advancement of Agricultural knowledge has
been TOO much neglected in this State, and TO this
cause, to extent may bc attributed the spirit OF
emigration which was so rife among our people a
year or two since.
The formation OF State Agricultural Society,
with uuxiliures in every District, if properly con-
Quoted, and entered into with spirit, will open new
era in tho Agricultural history of South Carolina
and shed food Of light upon the subject, which
must result in the most happy consequences.

observed, are only to be awarded to members. Are

who desire 10 contend for those priest Let them

With reference to our remarks on the improve
mcnt of Charlotte, North Carolina, made week or
two since, the Mecklenburg Jefersonidn saye:
Wethank the Editor of the Journal, In
the name of our citizens, for his kind
compliments; and we can inform him thai,
since his visit among us, an order has
been made by our County Court for the
building Of new Court-house-such an
edlfce as will, we hope, do credit to the
County, and be an additional ornament to
our village;-and that Commissioners
have been appointed and instructed to
procure location not in "the centre Of
the street." saS
We heard lately another most laudable
and patriotic project spoken Of by some
of our citizens; one which would not only
add greatly to the beauty of our village,
but show that the sons OF the Revolution
,ary sires who first declared Independence
duly appreciate the noble act. We aliude
10 the erection of suitable Monument,
where our old Courthouse now stands, or
on scme other spot in our village, com,
memmoralive Of the "Mecklenburg Decla-
ration Of ofIndependence on the 2Oth Of May,
l7.5." Will not our citizens generally,
of the village and community, Immediate
ly take this project in hand and see that it
is accomplished? Had such glorious
event adorned the revolutionary history of
almost any other people inthe Union than
North Carolinians, a monument reaching
the skies, as it were, would long since
have been erected, to transmit to The re-
motest generations record of one of the
most patriotic, gallant and daring acts to
be found in the history Of the world. Let
''lhe ball be set in notion" and we fear
not the accomplishment of so meritorious
an enterprise. We count certainly upon
the hearty cooperation, lin council at
least,) of our friend of the Camden Jour
nal?
There are none, evon Of the citizens of Charlotte,
who rejoice more sincerely in its improvement than
we do, and especially should we rejoice in seeing
the latter suggestion of the Jersonaa carried out
in hummer worthy of North Carolinuns. The De.
ciaration of Independence by the citizens of Neck.
enburg, on the Goth May, IT'S, was, indeed, zone
of the most patriotic gallant and daring to be
found in the history of the world" The act itself,
and the actors in this trying emergency, bespeak for
it and for them, some visible and striking memcnto
of their patriotic devotion. I. s.S...s.s

carried out and we feel assured that there is scarce

The BopY OF BAKER FoUND.-At 10
O'Clock this morning the body OF Baker
was exhumed from the ruins. twas found
Just below the toor of the Bank vault,
where i. had doubtless. fallen when the
floor gave way. The body is entire-the
feshy parts of the head and neck are en-
lirely consumed, leaving merely the bones
down to the shoulders. He was wrapped
up in piece of sheet or canvass. and had
his panlalooLs OH. The general conject-
urc from all the circumstances, is, that
the young man hearing the Williams atwork
at the door Of the vault, after his return
10 the store, had went thilher, and there
they despatched him.

excitement which prevades the city. ALL

reason-at the enormity Of the crimes
In the very heart of the city, the most re-
