Mr.. LAYARD has made a discovery at
Nineveh of the greatest interest. He
has penetrated into a chamber which APP
pears to be of the same class as the
"House Of Records" noticed by the
prophet Ezra. In this chamber Mr..
Layard found, in terra Gotta tables, piled
up from the floor to the ceiling, what are
apparently the archives of the Assyriau
Empire, curing a long historical success.
sion. Five large cases of these tables
have been packed up for transportation
to England. Some Of our antiquarian
~literati indulge the idea that these tables
will give US a better account of the his
tory, religion, jurisprudence and philoso
ply of the Assyrians, thirteen centurie
before the Christian era, than we hav,
Of either Greece or Rome during an
period of their history.

Bro. GoEMAN The glorious cause in
which we are engaged is gaining popularity
in this County. We arc not gaining in
numbers very fast, but the opposition with
which we first met is getting very feeble
indeed, some Of the strongest opposition has
entirely given way, and the march of the
good is upward and onward. Some
Who daily wOrshipped at the shrine Of BAG
chus have joined the Sons, and since that
have attached themselves to the Christian
Church, and are devout Christians others
who seldom ever heard the Gospel, are nov

ADLER pen than my own, in the " SPIRIT Of

At IL o'clock, Bro. P. W. Wooley in

largest assemblage Of people, Of all ages and

Bro. Ricaud unclaimed the attention Of the
audience for an hour and a half, with one of
the best speeches I have ever heard on the
subject Of Temperance.
Bro. Alex'r Little, of Wadesboro,' then
spoke for half an hour in a manner seldom
equalled and hardly ever surpassed after
which we repaired to the dinner table, where
ample Justice was done to the meats and
choice viands spread out m rich profusion.
After dinner the audience were called TO-
gether by the singing Of a Temperance Ode.
after which they were entertained with q
neat and chaste Address, by Miss Marindt

SOUTHERN DIRECT TRADE WITH ENGLAND.
New York Herald states that several
persons from the Southern States went out in
the last Steamer for the purpose of making
some new commercial arrangements in Eng
land, by which a direct trade may be open
ed between the South and the trade of Eu-
rope. The cause of such enterprise, IRE
marks the Herald, on the part Of the South.
is to be traced to the belligerent attitude o
the Northern States.
