Companies landed at Smithville, and were expected
to be mustered out on yesterday to wit the Cabar-

THE SOLDIERS AND THE DEMooRAcY., The editor
of the Cincinnati Enquirer thus alludes to the Penn
syfvania and Maryland volunteers, who have just
passed through that city, on their way to their
homes ..:,5.. ~ -, -, - ..- :.
ave understand from several of our friends who
have mingled with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
troops their return, that very large majority of
them are for Cass and Butler: How can it be other
wise! They may and,do respect General Taylor
brave and patriot but they cannot cooperate
with party whose leaders have denounced the war
in which volunteers have been engaged unjust
and wicked, and the who prosecuted it sland
pirates and 'murderers.' That GeneralFaylor per-
mis himself to be used candidate by such party
leaders, merely to acquire power for themselves,
destroys all merit he would otherwise have in the
eyes of our brave soldiers!'' r

Opp FELEowsHHiip AND THE sCH0RcH. There is
quite animated discussion going on in the religious
papers concerning the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows; and Kindred benevolent Institutions; to
come connected with them4 The Ghurch, 1t appears.
has become alarmed at the progress of these societies.
and cries out Justify that their members are leaving
them; and joining those societies, and, if the tide Of
secession be not stopped that Odd Fellow ship will
overwhelm the Church.
This whole matter lies in a nutshell. The Church
breaches the doctrine that the hungry should be fed,
the naked clothed, the sick should be visited the
dead SHOULD be buried, and the widows and. orphans
should be provided for; the Church breaches this,
but does not practice it; whereas, Odd Fellowship,
being mere mutual insurance companY,' practices
those Christian duties without preaching much of
them Hence It follows that the practical takes the
lead of the theoretical, and men seize the sub
stance in preference to the shadow. The primitive
Church fulfilled these inanctions strictly; the min
listers Of religion went about seeking the sick, the
naked, and the hungry, and ministerng them; but
does the Church, of the present day do.t? If it
did, there would be necessity for Odd Fellowship,
or any other system of mutual relief The ministers
of the ChuIch nowadays more for good living,
good broad-cloth good houses, and
fat saaries than did the ministers of the meek and
humble founder of their Church, in primitive times
We would be far from saying that these remarks
will apply to all clergymen of the present day but
we boldly assert that they will apply to many
too many. Let the Church fulfil its duties, and we
sure Odd Fellowship would cease to be so wide
ly spread is covering every city, town, village
and hamlet In the country. A member of a mutual
benevolent society can, of sickness misfor
tune, claim and receive much will keep himself
and family from want. How much would the Church
do for him under the same circumstances Probably
! it would give him Bible or Testament, impress
upon him the necessity Of misfortune, point out to
him the pains and suferings of Christ, and then let
him hunger on, looking to Heaven for the reward of
his patience. T. >. ~. :. . - ~, y. 7, Herald.

very sudden death of Weston R. Gales, Esq, the
editor of the Raleigh a. g. Register, in this town
yesterday morning Onhis return, on Saturday last,
from trip to Old Point, he attacked with Pa
raysis and although he had the benefit of the best
medical skill and received every attention which the
kindness of his host, Capt Butts could afford, he
died in few hours, =. ~--...,,. ..
This intelligence will be affecting indeed to the
large and attached circle of the friends and relatives
of Mr.. Gales in North Carolina, and to all others
who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was
of superior talents, very popular and
full editor useful citizen, and estimabe gen.
tleman. The loss of such man cannot but be the
source of deep and sincere anguish,-to his family
and friends it is irreparable,to society it may be
repaired, but can never be forgotten. His remains

EARLY MARRIAGES-EARLY
DEATHS

Oar attention has been called TO this sub

sixteen yearso Of age, who appears to have
been a wife and mother This, we are
aware, is only one out of many thousands
Of instances tina, might be annually recor.
ded Of the fatal consequences Of early or
premature marriages. We know that a
certain class of philosophers and moralisis
have made themselves conspicuous by their
Jealous recommendations to both sexes TO
enter the marriage state at as early pc.
riod as possible. But; in our opinion, no
true phiianthropis, or Christian would give
his sanction TO a state Of life, which, pre-
maturely commenced, must in nine cases
out Of ten prove destructive to health and
happiness.
Why oil this haste TO enter upon a stage
of existence which is so certain to shorten
existence itself, or at least to snap asunder
those halfformed chords Of affection upon
which the nconsiderale rest all their hopes

But we do not intend by these remarks
TO give preference Of one state of life
