The N. York Observer suggest that church
es should compel their members to pay their
honest debts and make it matter Of church
discipline This is right. No man who is
able and refuses to pay his honest debts, is fit
to be member of any church, nor can he be
much respected by any society or community
in which he lives.
A good suggestion, & certainly in accordance
with the principles ofcommon honesty. We're
this rule to be adopted and fully carried out,
some ongpillars, $50 far as money goes) in
the church, would be compelled to hand over
their honest dues to the laboring portion of the
community, whom they had legally swindled
out of their dues by DEGREES i'll bankruptcy,
'two third acts &c. Perhaps nothing at the
present day has so great tendency to bring
religious professions into discrcdit,as bankrupt
church members, occupying respectable posi-
tions in the christian church, giving their
hundreds to Bible and Tract societies. paying
their Pastor most literally, living themselves
in ease and luxury, and by legal bubbles with.
holding payment of their honest debts. The
poor and unfortunate debtor, should be pitiet
and protected. For rich defaulters, churcl
discipline has no tcrror8. A cool 500 bill
hides a multitude ofsins.-L. l. Farmer.

From what we have been able to learn 1t APP
pears that his wife lately came into possession
Of $14 900, Of which he desired to OBTAIN I'M
limited control, and which she refused to give
him. Finding it impossible to prevail on her
to do so, he locked her up into a room and
was heard to threaten On more than one oc-
cason to cut her throat if she did not comply
with his wishes: bus she still held out against
him. Yesterday he beat her in a most inhu-
man manner, and some Of the noiSh6ors get
ting wind of the affair, made complaint a.
gainst him. A warrant was placed IN the
hands of officer A. NJ. G, Smith, who backed
by several policemen, proceeded to the house
and arrested Peck, who was locked up in the
Tombs. His wife refused to make affidavit
against him, Notwithstanding the treatment
she had received from him.-N. l. IfHe Sun.

THE LATE COL. BUTLER,

A friend has furnished US with a copy
of the following interesting ccrrespon-

with deep emotion, and does honor both
to the living and the dead:

Mn Dear Butler:-l know no death
at all comparable 10 that OF a soldier
in the field. fallen in the service Of his
country. Your gallant brother has met
this fate.
Among the friends who loved him, and
whom | know had his esteem, come

not almost forbid their indulgence.

a man Of his hereditary courage and
tried nerve.-Tf therefore any one knew
him we'll, l did. The brilliant flash
ofglory in which the taper of his life
has been extinguishcd, has not therefore
surprised me. When l was in New
Orleans last spring, and heard of the
embarkation OF the Regiment for Vera
Cruz, said to a friend, if Butler and
these lads get fairly engaged with The
enemy against whatever odds, they will
make their mark, and if need be, leave
half their number in killed and wounded
on the field.
What was prophecy has ripened into
fact.
know the stuff they were made of.
This time last year your brother and
myself met in Washington. He was
stretched on sick bed.
In the confidence Of friendship. the
fervor ofwhich had never been interrupt
ed for one instant, he informed me that
as soon as he was sufficiently recovered
he was to meet in mortal combat,

Army, in consequence ofa quarrel of

Ny Dear Central For the last
ten days have been absent from home
on a visit to my friends in GrcenvilIe,
and did no, receive your expressive and
anec,ionate Letter till yesterday.
You had the very qualities 10 inspire
my brother with the strong and enshusI-

entertained for you. There was no man
on earth certainly, out of his own FAM
lily, no one) in whose friendship he had
a higher confidence than in yours and
upon real occasions of difficulty ard trial
his reliance would have been on you.
He knew very we'll that you were the
man to assume all the hazard Of respon>
sibiity.'
My brother knew nothing Of your
correspondence with Col. Mccarthy,
nor did +, until l received your letter.
His difficulty with Col, Mason was a
source Of painful anxiety 10 his friends
who were made acquainted with its par
ticulars. He made uph his mind, and was
prepared for the worst, Poor fellow !
he has, by an honorable sacrifice Of his
life, escaped what | shall always regard
as very great misfortune; the necessity
or, possibly under some aspects, in the
extcnuation of some, the duty-ofmeet-
ing another in single combat,
am gralified to hear Of the manner
in which Col. Mccarthy received your
suggestions. 1t does honor to his heart,
