WESTERN ASYLUM

remarkable and heart-tonching case of accu-
mula!ed affection came under our notice few
days ago-a young man, who was brought to the
Western Asylum, Deaf and Dumb, and Blind,
and Insane! 1t appears he was deaf and dumb
from his blrth-was educated at the school for
Deaf MuteS at Philadelp hia-and afterwards lost
his sight, and more recently his reason. He
communicates his thoughts and wishes by writing
on slate, and by the manual alphabet; and re-
celves communications by the latter method,
using his own hands to discover the signs which
are made by the person who is addressing him.
What the worthy and interchangeable Superinten-
dent of the Asylum will be able TO make of this
case, remains to be seen. 1t is certainly one of
great difficulty, as we'll as of unusual interest.

THE VIRGINIA BIBLE SOCIETY

lhis Society held its annual meeting in the Hall
OF the House OF Delegates on Wednesday even
ing. Gov. Mcdowell presided, and WIN. VIII.
LlAMs, esq. acted as Secretary. After the reading
OF chapter from the Bible, by Rev. Mr.. Wood.
orio9e, a most Impressive prayer was offered up
70 the Throne of Grace, by the Rev. Mr.. Stiles.
Gov. Mcdowell addressed the audience in an
earnest and occasionally eloquent speech, i'm which
ne SET for'h the Importance of the Bible, its cir
cuiaton, and its being read in all the classes of
society-he urged its peculiar importance in this
age In which inquiry and knowledge had become
so general as to be conducive Of the greatest good
or the greatest harm. The latter consequence was
only TO be averted by the conservative influence
OF tho Precepts Of the inspired book it was the
object OF the Society 10 distribute among The
people.
He was succeeded by Mr.. Maxwell, of our CITY.
who In very happy way elucidated the impor-
lance OF the knowledge and practice of The truths
and principles of the Bible, TO the welfare and
perPetuity of our glorious form of free Govern
ment, in which the People are the source Of au-
thonty; and which therefore must depend upon
tne virtue and intelligence Of the People for its
existence. Mr.. M. made an eloquent reference to
The father of his country and to the memorable
WORDS OF his farewell address: "Of all the dis
positions and habits which lead TO political 1rospe-
T"y' RELIGION and MORALITY are indispensable
SUPPORTS"
Besides, the audience was addressed by Rev.
Mr.. Woodbridge, Rev. Mr.. Brigham, Secretary
oil the American Bible Society, Rev. Mr.. Stiles.
and Mr.. Fleming James, in an appropriate and
eloquent manner. We wish we had time or room
10 follow them, and record some of their lead
ing views. The statistics mentioned by Messrs
Woodbridge and Brigham would be interesting.
We were not in position to write them down.
collection was taken up, on motion Of Mr.
James, which we hopo turned out well.

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS

The generally received opinion a, Washington
now is that Texas will not be annexed at the pre-
sent session of Congress-if at all. Should the
opinion of Mr.. Adams be correct, that England
Will avail herself of our example, in case of an
nexailon, to consummate her long-cherished
scheme OF getting possession Of Cuba, it would
be thousand times better for the country that
we should have nothing to do with Texas A
single glance at the map must satisfy every one
of this.
The New York Courier says-"Our private in
formation from Washington on which the most
implicit reliance may be placed, is, that Mr.. Polk
has at length declared formally in favor of Mr..
Calhoun and the Southern faction This of
course arrays against him the Northern Loco Fo-
CO.'S and very eiiectualiy closes the door against
The admission of Texas into the Union, and any,
the slightest alteration in the existing tariff I,
is now confidently predicted, that the new adj
mlnistraton will be in feeble minority in both
Houses within week after the meeting of the
next Congress-

THE LECTURE

sH oeiiVereu MS promised Lecture upon the SUBJ
Ject OF the petitions to The Legislature "for ee-
neral act authorizing the erection of corporations
~ ieceIVe ana mold requests TOR Literary, Chari-
laO'e and Religious purposes, ''--on last Thurs
DAY evening, In his own Church, before LARGO
auoiehce assembled on the occasion. The dis
course, which lasted upwards Of two hours, dis
prayed great ability, much force of argument. and
considerable research ; and was relieved occa-
sionaily by some comicaGties of rather question:.
o'e PropTiety, but which appeared to be greatly
Ieiished by many in the house.
we shall not attempt 10 analyse the aruumen
tatioh' nor even TO give the heads and points of il;
as we have not time. 1t was, of course, aeain,t
the Legislatures granting the prayer OF the peti-
ZION, at least, as TO devises and requests for anv
rehg'ous puTPose-a measure which the speaker
seemed to think was pregnant with great and in
calculaoie mischlefs TO Church and Satellite
snort OF absolute ruin to both. He acquitted, in.
deed, The worthy petitioners Of all evil desipn.
ana allowed that their motives might be entirely
honest, oul he thought the measure itself was
dangerous and alarming in the extreme. We
should soon have our State covered over with
these religious corporations and at least one-tenth
part OF the whole landed estate Of the country in
m.o'lnaa," In the hands of graceless clergy, to
the utter destruction of all the purify and prac,-
cal morality of the gospel. We could not help
thinking that he carried his views upon this part
OF the subject quite too far and that there was too
much eXaggeratIon and caricature throughout
we DO not wish to have it inferred, however. that
we are disposed to favor the object of the petit
TONERS In lite mode in which they seem anxious to
OBTAIN IT, On the contrary, we think that that is
open TO strong and just objections, and the mea-
sure might produce pernicious effects. But we
are quite willing to leave the whole subject to the
Legislature, who, we make no doubt, will DISPOSE
oil 1t with due discretion.-Lfich. Compiler.

In regard to the PRESENT TARIFF, the Sc.
cretary "most respectfully recommends &c
Congress review and reformation of the ac,
-of 1872 to provide revenue, from imports. ),
'"eighty considerations" he says, "concur

contrary 80 that clause of the Constitution
which provides that all duties shall be uni

10 certain parts Of the act Of 1912, because.
by Its providing in general terms that its pro-
VISIONS shall not be so construed as TO conflict

Pects any "accidentaI encouragement and pro-

OF the mode OF levying such necessary reven-
ue oy duties on imports as may be required
Tor the support Of Government, and to main
tam It's faith and provide for The common de-
fence and general welfare, the Secretary thinks
that so long as Congress shall keep within the
"confines" of raising that which is "necessa
ry," the encouragement thereby afforded to
domestic industry "must be deemed rightful
'as an enevitable attendant upon the exercise
.ot the delegated powers" and in concluding
h's remarks on the subjec, of the Tariff, he
states that the proposed review and modifca-
ton OF the act of 1912 are presented not so
much with a view to the action of Congress-
during ITS present session, as to awaken atten-
ton and inquiry, and lead the way towards
elicitiDg all the information necessary for sucb
maiured legislation as the important princi-
Piles and interests involved seem to require.
There may be, and no doubt is, much 9th
er interesting matter in this Repor, which has
escaped our notice on the hasty glance we
have given it, and which will render it neces-
sary Tor US to advert again to its contents.

An ARRAY took place at Georgetown (O.) on

hunters and a number Of abolnionsts. Some
runaway negroes, belonging 10 Col. Edward
Towers of Mason county, tky.) were concealed
in the houses Of Robert Miller and Absolom King,
and Mlier's house being searched, Two of the
roDaways were discovered in it. Miller while
aiding them to escape, was knocked down, and
so dreadfully stabbed that he survived but few
minutes. The captors then proceeded with the.
two slaves bound, towards Kings house, but
were met on the road by four or five men, who
resisted the proposed endeavor to search Kings
dwelling.
Both parties were armed, and a conflict ensued,
IN which Col. Towers son was shot dead, and
hIng so badly wounded that he can hardly sur
we. The Sheriff and his posse at this period
stopped the iiot, arrested the insurgents, and
conveyed them TO Georgetown. Shortly after

him, burned Miller's and KINGS bouses
