For the Journal.

Mr., Ep1roR.-As is known to most of your
readers, there is in Madison County, Mississippi
an intelligent and refined communiIy-the
members of which, but few years since,
formed portion of the society Of this Town.
On a recent occasion, they met together, for
the purpose of dedica,ng Chapel to the ser.
vice of the Living God. The address, delv.
cred by Mr.. TnoMis S. ANDERSON, | have
thought would prove highly interesting to his
numerous friends in this Slate and particularly
so 10 that community Of Christians with which
he is connected. have therefore sent it with
this, requesting an insertion in your columns.
Very Respectfully, &c. 8.

The Sumter B0nner,

Tho Sumter Banner came out last week,
with decided improvement in type and appear
ance. A new head piece and an enlargement
of four columns, will add much to its interest
and importance. We heartily wish an in.
creased list Of patrons and prompt payments,
will fully compensate for these additional ex.
penses. We regret however to see that the
first number of the new issue contains the vale,
dictory ofthe late Editor, FRANCIS MeADAhs.
He has ably conducted the Banner tor two
years. during which time, it has been thorough.
" Southern in its views and feelings. His
intercourse with the brethren Of the press has
been marked by courtesy-and he carries with
him in bis retirement our hest wishes.

We find the above in the Fonddu, Lac Republican, n

of stirring up "Cay and anti-Clay feeling in New York
We simply stated few nconroverble facts, after the
fight in regard 10 the position Of Mr. Clay and
the deadly hostility which the fre nds of Gen Taylor had
from the Clay cques in this city These facts
no one ventured deny; and if our Wisconsin
friend had gone through with the experience which We
have during the last two years and half he would not
presume ''cal oder for telling the TRUTH even of

get nothing from the administration; and those elev

no better. Gen. Taylor knows his friends and can scent a
Office beggar as far as Carlyle says Cockney can
smell coun,ryman.
We much obliged to the Republican for its friendly
advice; but il does convince that in

Upon one point we beg leave to repeat, that though
there are calculations in this city upon the appointment
of one or two Taylor wings in the cabinet yet nobody

to understand his pocy-whom he will bring into his

General Taylor knows at this time of what he in
tends TO do than any other person. We presume the

doctrnate him in his ultra views
