To Correspondents.-. Orthodox from Spring
field has been received, but the author never
sent his name, we suppose, he does not expect US
10 give him place in the Intelligencer.' We
agree with him that The "Preacher' "who is hold
ing forth in Crawford and Washington Countess"
and who was tried in Springfield for lying, should
be exposed. especially when thirteen charges were
proven upon him whilst only twelve preferred.
If "Orthodox' will send US an authentic statement
Of the facts he audes to, we will feel it our duty
to publish it.

The Rev. DR.. Southland of New York, has issued
edict to his parish, which he calls pastoral
forbdding them to marry any one to whom they
may be related nearer than the fifth degree.
The TURKISH MIssIoN.-It is stated that George
P. Marsh, recently appointed Minister to Cons,an-
,nople, declines the appointment. The ground
of refusal assigned, is that if he should resign his
seat in Congress in the present state of politics in
his district, would probably be chosen opposed
to the Administration, and the majority in the
next House of Representatives is too close and
doubtful to run any risk.
GEN. CAss TO REsEN.--The Nashville Banner
assures its readers upon the most unquestionable
authority" that General Cass will resign his seat
in the Senate, rather than obey the instructions
imposed upon him by the Legislature of Michigan,
to vote for the Wilmot provso.
The Crerasse.-The New Orleans Delta of the
Odd ult., says-Rumors were rife in town yester-
day evening, that the crevasse at Sauye's was
about breaking through again. To ascertain the
truth of these reports, we despatched special
messenger 10 the works last night. He left the
crevasse at half:past twelve this morning. and re-
ports, happy to state, that the works erect.
ed by Dunbar and Surgi were firm, and apparently
sufficiently strong to resist the pressure of the
rent, until such time as a permanent lcvee could
be built.
