TIC Steam Navigation Company, says, in card
Just published III the New York papers ''that
the preliminary arrangements with the Gene

measures are completed, aud that the Direc-

try the benefit of Atlantic Steam Navigation,
upon more enlarged and comprehensive
scale than was at first contemplated. Instead
oil constructing single ship for the English
trade, they propose to augment the number
until they have sufficient to
maintain regular line twice month to Great
Britain, and another line twice month to

strikes the Inclined pine, by means of lever
the screw is set TO work upon the stationary
cogs laid upon the centre rails, the driving
wheels are lifted from the outer rails. and tie
two inner wheels, connected with the screw

CONGRESSIONAL.

From the last Mecklenburg Jefersonian,
we see that the Convention for the pur-
pose of nominating Democratic candidate
for Congress, for the Salisbury District, is
to meet on the first Of June. The Hon.
Chas. Fisher has been recommended by
most of the county meetings, and we have
no doubt he will be the choice of the Con.
vention. Mr.. Fisher is one of the best
politicians in the State, and is one of the
worst hands to deal with on the stump in
any State. We suppose Mr.. Barringel
will again be the Wing candidate in the
Salisbury district. We think that the
chances for Mr.. Fishers beating him are
very fair.

through the Press, that medium through
which we are compelled to form in advance
our estimates of all candidates for popular
favor. They fully came up to the idea we
had conceived of them. Well, indeed
may they call themselves ORPHANS. For
although they cannot, as the tabled Or
pheus Of old, lure the hills from then
seats, and COMPEL the rivers to stand still
by the power of their strains, still they car
perform almost as difficult task. They
can soothe the rugged way ward heart o
man. The songs they sing, we4believt
were almost all composed expressly TO
themselves, and the music arranged with
a view to the development Of their owl
powers. They commanded good houses
each night, and what must be more graft
flying to them still, their auditors were en-
thusiastic in their plaudits. They will
visit New Berne next, we understand, AM
if we have not formed a wrong estimate o
the taste of the citizens of that place the.
will meet with ample patronage.

O. The sapient Editor of the Chronl-
Gle says that we shave been lavoured with
ney lights" Well the Chronicle has
said much more for US than he could con-
scentously say for himself. For long
night of darkness has lowered around the
political noddIe Of that paper since streak
of light, old or neaU, has illumined its col
umns.
In the speech which Gen. Mckay made
at the Courthouse in last October, he vim
dicated himself most triumphantIy against
the old thread bare charge of Federalism
made against BIN by the woulG-be- Wings
of the present day. For our own part,
we know of no better refutation which
Gen. Mckay could offer than by refer
ring to his whole public life, and challen-
ging his political foes to point out one SIN
gle instance in which his acts would lead
to the conclusion that he was a Federalist.
We assure the Chronicle it is not mat
ter of very great importance to US to know
at what particular juncture its Editor left
the Courthouse, but suppose that if he did
leave at the time he says he did he mus
have escaped from what to him was a no.
vel and irksome predicament, the listening
to political truths plainly spoken. Blu
the Chronicle wants to know why Gen
Mckay didn't have the Tariff reduced a
the last session OF Congress.
Gen. Mckay did, at the session Of Con
gress before last, report bill for the re
duction of the Tariff, and used his hes
exertons to get it passed, but failed. Eve
ny body knows that the last session o
Congress was what is usually called thu
short session, and that owing to the man
ner in which the great questions of tn
occupation of the Oregon territory, tn
Annexation of Texas, the Post Office re
form bill, &c., engrossed the attention @
both houses of that body nothing could b
done with the Tariff. Besides, the mex
session of Congress, the first under on
new democratic administration, will b
the proper place for the consideration c
that important question. Let the Chront
Gle make Itself easy. 1t will find that Ger
Mckay will keep his promises on thi
head to the hearts content of the Tari
monopolists. That is, always providing
that the Chronicle and Mr.. Meares wi
permit him ever to get back to Washington

n,xision of Fac churches.

In last weeks Journal, we published the
preamble and resolutions adopted by the
Baptist Convention, at Augusta, Georgia,
together with the constitution adopted by
the Southern Convention. On the first
page of this weeks Journal, will be found
the address put forth by the Southern Bap-
list Church, to their christian brethren
throughout the United States, explaining
the causes which led to the unhappy divi-
sion which has taken place, 81 vindicating the
course which the South has taHen. The ad-
dress is an able & eloquent production. The
Southern Methodist Convention, now hold
ing its sessions at Louisville, KY. has also
come to the determination, that an organi-
cation separate from the North is necessa-
ry. These are painful events, and give
rise to melancholy thoughts, not to say
forebodings, in the bosom of every man
who loves the Union. That the spirit Of
fanaticism has risen So high-that at last,
the foul demon of Abolitiorism has attain
ed such pitch of strength and malignan'
cy, as to be able to break asunder the hal
lowed cords which have hitherto bound
together, in Christian brotherhood, the
Ministers of our holy Christian religion
is, indeed, i state of things deeply TO be
deplored. The division, too, has taken
place in two of our Churches, which, in
point of numbers. and the influence which
they exercise over the feelings and sentl
ments of the American people, is far above
that Of any other denomination or denoml
nations in the United States. The dlvl
vision was unavoidable on the part OF the
Southern Baptsts and Methodists. II was
forced upon them by the North. But the
address to which we refer, will explain the
reasons which lead TO the unhappy dlvl
sion. Read it.

" That Speech" Again.

We see the Chronicle wants to hear
something more about that speech at Clin-
ton. 1t would have been impossible for
US to notice seriatim all that Mr. Meares
said in that speech. 1t would have taken
up more time and space than we could
possibly have assigned to the subject.
The Chronicle says we failed to notice
two items in that speech, to wit: the "efec-
tive handling' which MIR. Meares gave
Gen. McKay's voting against an amend
ment 10 the Appropriation bill, requiring
that articles for the use of Congress should
be Of American manufacture, and his (the
Generals voting against the appropriation
for improving New River. Now, as we
have neither the s. Journals OF the House
Of representatives." nor L" the Debates in
Congress" at our hand for reference, we
are at present unable to say under wha
circumstances Gen. Mckay gave the votes
in point, if he gave them at all. We know
that il he voted as the Chronicle. says he
did he had reasons of sound policy for SC
doing. We shall enquire into the matter
and place the result Of our inquiry before
our readers at proper time.

Foreign.

The news brought from Europe by the
Britannia, which arrived at Boston, on the
10Th inst, possesses but few features OF
interest to the American people. Cotton
had advanced, and the transactions in the
article had been more spirited, in conse-
quence of the impression that the declara-
tons Of the English Ministry, brought out
by the Caledonia, would raise war fever
in the United States. This advance was
only temporary, and will not, of course, be
sustained. The English papers are bust.
ly engaged discussing the subject of an.
nexation, and specializing upon the chan.
ces OF the rejection of that measure, by the
people of Texas. The British Parliament

The Mission to the Court Of st. James.


Speculation seems to be rife, as to who
Mr.. Polk will send to England, as the re-
preventative of this county. When Mr..
Polk came into power in last March, it
was stated by Mr.. Richie, the new editor
of the Washington Union, that the Presi-
dent had rendered that important trust to
Mr.. Calhoun; and although it was never
officially stated that such was the case, we
then believed, and still believe, that he did.
Since that time, it has been offered to two
other distinguished sons of the Palmetto
State, Mr.. Gilmore, and Mr.. Pickens; so
it is stated, by those who Dug hit TO know.
Why neither of these gentlemen have seen
fit to accept the proffer, we are not correct
ly informed. Mr.. Calhoun, we believe,
does not desire any Office, and we believe
no motve s. save those of patriotism, could
induce him to accept any public trust, hoN-
ever honorable or lucrative. Mr.. Van Blu
rem has also been talked of for this dipIo-
matte post. AS regards him, we believe 1t
is only rumor. But a special Mission
has been talked of. That's, that Mr.. Polk
contempIates sending over special Min
lister, clothed with more than ordinary
powers, and with a particular view of set
Ting the difficulties, now pending between
England and this country, in regard to the
Oregon Territory question, as well as for
the purpose of negotiating commercial
treaty with that power, on the principles
of reciprocity and liberality. Rumor far
Their goes on to say, that John G. Calhoun
| will be selected to effect these two objects.
Whether there be any foundation in fact,
for this rumor, we cannot say, but think
there is not, as we are unable to perceive
any good reason why the negotiations 60
ing on at Washington, should be transferred
to London. But should the President de-
termine on this course. there is not man
in the whole length and breadth of our
confederacy, into whose hands we would
rather see this important mission confded,
than John G. Calhoun. He is al Ameri-
can patriot Of the right stamp. He loves
his country, and his country's honor, with
as deep and as pure feeling, as ever warm
ed the breast of man. He understands our
foreign relations, as we'll as any statesman
in the Union. Indeed, in our opinion,
there is not another in the country, whose
acquired and natural capacities for filling
the high, and, at present, delicate station
in point, are equal to those of Mr.. Cal
houn. The letter which he addressed tc
Mr. King, our Minister at the French court
whilst he filled the Bureau Of State, a
Washington, as state paper, will bear E
comparison with any document ola similar
nature, which has ever fallen under our no
tice. And we have no doubt, but that very
letter has had a considerable influence Or
the Government of England, particularly
with regard TO the Right of Search. W.
hope if such mission is rendered 10 Mr.
;, Calhoun, that he will accept it.

Singular Insurance.

Ia glancing over an exchange paper, we
find it stated that, on investigation, the a
mount of crimes, of various kinds, commit
ted in any one city is about the same, year
compared with year, over any given extent
of time. That, for instance, take the city
of New York, and over say space OF
seven years the number Of times in which
any given crime, petty larceny, for IN
stance, will be committed, is about as large
one year as another, supposing the num-
Der of inhabitants to continue the same.
Upon the result of This examination the
writer goes on to say, that company has
actually gone into operation in London,
which, for stipulated premium, insures
the integrity and trustworthiness of clerks,
and other agents, so that, nowadays, they
calculate the chances of a mans honesty.
as they would the probabilities Of his liv'
ing to a certain day or year. Another still
more singular species of insurance is de-
scribed in the New York Mirror. The
article is translated from French paper
and says that company exists both II
London and Paris, which, for certain an
nuaI sum, will insure man against the
unhappy consequences which flow from
the introduction Of jealousy into the do
nestle circle. What will we have next
