RELIGIOUS IMPROVEMENT OF THE BLACKS
The Missionary report Of brother, Pipes found
in another column, will be read with interest. .
It exhibits not only the fact that the religious
welfare of the plantation blacks is cared for by
the Church, and entrusted to the hands of faith
full, laborious and responsible men, appointed in
the regular order Of our ecclesiastical system,
but that proprietors-men of large means and
wide influence, feel sufficiently concerned in the
spiritual improvement of their slaves to give
personal effort and aid in the work Of the mis-
sionary. We wish this fact to be observed
We wish the example to be widely influential at
home, and to be noted abroad The relation of
master and servant carries with it duties, which
the New Testament specifically defines. Among
the highest Of these is a sense of responsibility
for the religious Improvement Of his domestics
on the masters part. And where this is proper
ly felt and responded to by suitable efforts for
the religious instruction Of the blacks, there is
every guarantee that the physical comfort of the
slave will be provided for.--Southern Christian
Advocate, Charleston. g J9El-

SUNDAY Mail SERVICE IN EsoLAND.--The clos
ing Of the Post Office in England has created a
panic in the country. The London. Times init
mates that the act is Illegal and that the courts Of
law will be called upon for an opinion, as to the
right to detain letters from those to whom they
are addressed. The London Times argues at
length to prove, as il says, fear Of refu-
tation, that the restriction the Post Office, IN
stead of diminishing, must of necessity, greatly
increase Sunday labor slJ6s sgyi394 UsH
Petitions are already in circulation, to reopen
the Post-Ofiices. The Liverpool Journal remarks:

@DoNE TO THE LIFE"--Any one who has
heard fashionable young lady sing at an even
ing party-and who has not enjoyed thnt extra
ordinary pleasure!-will recognize the following
picture as drawn from the life:
" aThe Young lady on being led to the piano,
first throws q tmid glance around the room,
ostensibly to evince gentle confusion, but In
reality to see who is looking at her. She then
observes to the mistress Of the house that she
is not in very good voice. which she confirms
bya faint sound, something between sigh,
smile, and single knock cough. The hostess
replies, oh, but you always sing 80 delight
fully'-The young lady answers, that she can
not sing this evening"; to strengthen whi;h
opinion, she makes some young gentleman
exceedingly Joyous, by giving him her bou-
quet tohold; and drawing off her gloves In
the most approved style, tucks them behind one
of the candlesticks, together with her fimsy
in such fashion that its deep
laced border or embroidered name may be seen
to the best advantage The top OF the piano,
which had been opened for the quadrllles, IS
then shut down by an active gentleman, who
pinchcs his fingers in the attempt; the musician
forms series of dissolving views, and dlsap-
pears, no one knows where, nor eyer VIII ana
the Young lady takes her place at the piano,
and MS she PLAYS the chords of the key she is
about to luxuriate in, every one is not perfectly
silent, so she finds the music stool is too high,
or too low, or something of that kind, and the
pedals appear exceedingly difficult TO be found
AT length, every thing being still, she plays the
symphony again, and then smiling at the hostess,
and saying Tint she is certain that she shall
break down. brings ont the opening note OF the
recitative, which makes the drops OF the chan
delicr vibrate again, and silence couple VINO

ent furnishes us with the following interesting
incident, which shows how liable people are to
be mistaken in their representations. Some
thirty years ago Mr., Mynders, of Seneca Falls,
remarked to a friend who was residing with him,

the best workman in my shop, and ] am sorry
to say that he is now going to make a fool Of
himself, by leaving good trade to study law

MASS MEETING IN MAcos.--We are pleased
to see thatour suggestion made some time since,
meets with favor in several sections Of the State,
to hold grand Mass Meeting in this city, on
the 22d of August next, to ratify the proceed
ings of the Nashville Convention. This is the
right move Mt last. Let those of our people
who have not the chance to read and mediate
upon our peril, come out and HEAR! Hear men
whom they know, and by listening to both
sides, make up an enlightened judgment. They
will just as surely do this rs they hear the truth.
Then let Greek meet Greek. We have no
earthly doubt that if the people Of this State
could meet in convention and hear for them
selves, that three months time would suffice to
make Georgia unit in our rejection of the "sur-
render bill" Let the friends of Southern
Rights and Equality see to this matter forth

To BRING THE DRowNED TO LIFE.-At this sea-
son of the year, when SO many fatal accidents are
occurring, The following advice, which we have,
perhaps, before published, is particularly oppor-
tune:
Immediately as the body is removed from the
water press the chest suddenly and forcible down
ward and backward, and instantly discontinue the
pressure Repeat this violent interruption until
pair of bellows can be procured. When obtain
ed, introduce the muzzle well upon the base Of the
tongue Surround the mouth with towel or
handkerchief, and close it.. Direct bystander to
press firmly upon the projecting part of the neck
adam sapple) and use the bellows actively. Then
press upon the chest to expel the air from the lungs,
to initiate the natural breathing. Continue this at
least an hour, or until signs of natural breathing
come on.
Wrap the body in blankets, place it near fire,
and do every thing to preserve the natural warmth,
as well as to impart artificial heat if possible.
Everything, however, is secondary to initiating the
lungs Send for medical man Immediately.
Avoid all frictions until respiration shall be in
some degree restored. eslcus VALENTINE MoTr.

EcREss TO SourHERN PoRrs.-We are glad to
learn that the East Tennessee and Georgia Rail
road is rapidly progressing to complexion. BY
the ensuing fall, there will be a complete line Of
Railroad from the Tennessee river to Savannah
and Charleston. The immediate consequences
must be the rise in wealth and influence OF these
cities and the time will come when there will be
no necessity to go to New York or Boston for our
merchandise The capital Of the South will centre
at our seaports and while it may be sufficient for
all our purchases, the political influence asso-
cated with capital will at least be congenial with
Southern institutions High tariffs and national
banks will have received their doom, If such be
not already their fate. Fanaticism against slave m
money which we now SO lavishly expend at the
North for many ofour staple articles of con'ump,,
ton There will be also public sentiment created
by the continual and extensive intercourse OF our
citizens at these great Southern ports which will
have happv conservative effect in preserving the
constitutional rights of the South.Jacksos Misss-

NORTH CAROLINA RAIL RoAD--We learn
from gentleman who was present at the meet
ing of the stockholders of the North Carolina
Railroad Company, at Salisbury, on the 18th,
that the stock was very fully represented, and
that the utmost harmony and unanimity of senti-
ment prevailed. Judge Cameron acted as chair
elected president of the road, and Gen. Means,
of Cabarrus, DR.. DeRossett, of Wilmington,
Governor Graham, of Orange, General Trollen-
ger, of Alamance, General Saunders, of Wake,
John B. Lord and John |. Shaver, of Rowan,
A. T. Jenkins, of Craven, John A. Gilmer, and
John M. Morehead, Of Guilford, John w.
Thomas, of Davidson, and Mr.. Fries, of For
syth, directors. ig. ,5 o5 ssTlah,4
The appointments are all admirable, and will
give great satisfaction to the stockholders, at
large, and confidence to the public. The pub
| lie opinion, indeed, had long since pointed to
Governor Morchead, as the proper person to
assume the direction of the affairs of the road

Curosity Rewarded.

I, The other day a friend Of ours, who though
rather smart, in the popular axceptaton Of the
term, il decidedly vain Of his personal appearance
was standing at the steps OF the St. Charles Ho-
tel, intsnily watching the motions Of two elegant
ly dressed ladies, who at the moment were passing
IN the street y Afier watching them Tor some time,
until they disappeared in the distance, he turned
round and addressed an acquaintance standing
near, asking him if he knew the handsome ladies'
who had just attracted the attention Of the num-
Der of admiring gentlemen who were then, it was
the dinner hour, congregnted in that vicinity

y This excuse did not by any means satisfy our
friend. In fact, as was always the case when ne
hirnsef was in question, his Curiosity was aroused;
he was anxious to know what the ladies' hed SAID
about him; he could mt rest I'll ne found out ne

the obstinate disturber of his peace would not give
any satisfaction. AT last, after exhausting every
expedient to extract the desired Information, our
friend invited his companion to take drink, then

ed for dinner and found his curiosity ungrathed.

ing, submission to the proposed exclusion from

and that he who falters and Esau like barriers his

memory of the past, to his duty to the present,
and traitor to posterity." =

Next Saturday meeting is to be held in Mont

doubt, the result will be the same tipgg ~
We have repeatedly stated that four-ffths of
the people of Alabama are opposed to the Com
promise"of Mr.. Clay. Judging by the expose
tons Of opinion above noted, we are inclined to
believe that there is hardly one man in twenty in
the interior Of the State, who is not opposed to
it. In the cities and large towns it is different.
There are, in such congregations of human va
pors, various obstacles to an unbiased formation
and expression Of opinion; but in the South, the
towns and cities are insignificant. They form a
very small part Of the population, and their in
fuence is proportionably small. The rural popu-
ulation of the South is composed of the genuine
soveregns. They control the Cities not the cities
them. At the North, every phase Of public opin-
ion receives its shape from the cities and towns.
Therein the capitalists have sway. In the South
the capitalists-that is the real wealthare in the
interior. Public opinion for this reason is sounder,
in the South, and when expressed, is franker and
honester.--.Mobile Tribune n
