AbOliflOnism In Kentucky.

Rev. ]. G. Fee, native of Kentucky, is
appealing to the charity of Northern Abolition
ism for means to erect free church, or what
is more proper, church in which he can preach
without molestation, and at all time, against the
Institution of slavery. He says:
During the )ast year have labored half OF
my time in Bracken county, WE have organ
ized there a small church. At present it num-
bers thirteen members. This church, like the
one in Lewis county, does not tolerate slave
holding This of co Irse is an unpopular move
in a slave State. Vet our congregations have
been constantly increasing. The house we
worship in, is school house, and often does
not hold more than half Of the congregation.
Also, often when we would like to hold pro-
traeted meeting, the house is occupied by the
school.
"The prospect for building church. able
eventually to sustain itself, is good. 1t is in a
neighborhood Of farmers who are generally
non-slaveholders, in comfortable circumstances.
The church has resolved to try to build a plain,
brick church edifce, thirty by forty feet-cost
about $500. In view of tho fact that some
colored persons attended our meetings, and that
one of our members IL colored person, the
church has voted that the seats in this house
shall, during the hours of worship and good
behavior, be free to all persons
GAS palpably in accordance with the spirit
and practice of the gospel as is this resolution,
it is likely to affect our congregation and means
for building more than opposition to slavery
for there are many excellent men, who will go
with us in opposition to slavery, who yet retain
the spirit OF caste-foster which sustains and
strengthens slavery. have by private solicita

under thousand other untoward circumstances
that we can, with Gods blessing, preach whole
gospel against all that we know TO be sin, and

believe that it is wise and prudent to ask, and

DEFINING PosITIos.-The Marion (Ala,)
Commonwealth, was the only Wing paper of
Alabama that espoused the Southern cause 10
the late canvass. That paper announces its ac-
quiescence in the decision of the South, and adds
that hereafter it will fight the battle Of the South
on the Democratic platform. The editor says
aFor our own part, we see nothing better
than to fall back upon the Democratic platform
and assist in making the principles of the Demo.
cratic party the prominent policy of the country
For limitation of the powers of the federal
government and opposition to that bane of the
South high protective tariff and maintainance
of the doctrine of State Rights, we can look
alone to the Democratic party. Acting upon
this conviction, the result of our best judgment,
we take our stand upon the Democratic plat
form, for veal or for woe.
The Wing party of the South is virtually
disorganized. II can never make another stand
upon its principles, and the measures for which
it has conteuded for years. The leaders of the
party see this, and their effort now il, to keep
up the false Issue they presented during the last
canvass Of Union" and disunion," and ppon
that to fight the next Presidential campaign.

R- In an article upon the result Of the late
Congressional election in Virginia, the Norfolk
Argus says
"But the most gratifying result of the glo-
rious triumph in this State, is, that every repre-
sentative in the last Congress who would not
give in his adhesion to the odious compromise
has been sustained by an increased majority OF
the popular suffrage. Their opposition 10 this
measure was the principal, nay, the only issue
which was attempted to be made against them
They were attacked upon this score in the most
ruthless and virulent manner, and every species
of Misrepresentation was resorted to in order to
excite the public mind and feeling against them.
Because they were indisposed TO sing praises to
the late compromise-because they regarded il
as unmany, as well rs impoltic, to exult in
measure involving concessions unjust and inju.
rious to the South, they were held up through
ont the land as disunionists and seces.ionists-
indeed, every epithet was AZ piled calculated to
enrage the popular prejudice"

HYDROGEN GAS FoR ILLUMfNATIoN.--The last
number of the American Journal of Science
contains an interesting article on this subject
by Professor b. Siman, jr.
In the recent European tour he had an op.
portunity of seeing the successful application of
NJ. Gilard's patent, by which he claims the pro-
duction of a useful light, and great heat from
the combustion from hydrogen GAS in contact
with coil of platinum wire The hydrogen is
produced by the decomposition Of water, effected
by passing steam through re.orts charged with
charcoal reduced to small fragments, and heated
to an intense degree. The resultant gas, after
being conducted through lime water, which
removes the carbonic acid consists almost wholly
of hydrogen. This is burned in contact with a
cage or network of platinum wire guaze sur.
rounding an ordinary argand burner, protected
by glass chimney. "This simple conlriyanee y
he states, I" is perfectly successful, and the light
given out from gas lamps of this construction is
extremely vivid and constant"
The following are some Of the advantages
claimed by the invention:
-. The gas so produced is cheaper than any
other mode of artificial light, costing, as is as
serted by VI. Glard, and sustained by others
only about 10th the average cost of coal gas
2. The gas has no unpleasant odor. 3. This
mode of producing gas may be applied to any
existing gas works by slight modification OF
the reiorts, and without any essential change in
any other portion of the apparatus. 4. The
cheapness of this mode enables it to be applied
with great advantage as fuel for cooking and
for numerous purposes in the arts. 3. The
nuisances resulting from the presence of large
coal gas works in populous districts are entirely
avoided 6. The arrangements are so simple
and Inexpensive that every establishment, where
It's desired to en- ploy lig,t and heat, may ere t
its own apparatus, all the materials employed
being everywhere accessible"

The Importation Of Slaves.

The Augusta Chronicle proposes the repeal
of the acts of the last legislature removing the
restrictions upon the Importation of slaves.
We are strongly inclined to second the motion,
principally for this reason: that by preventing the
ingress, into the cotton region, of slaves from
Maryland, Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky, we
shall postpone indefinitely, what now seems rap
idly approaching, the abolition of slapery In those
STATES. We must compel them to remain, for
all coming time. united in common cause with
us, by Mailing up their slaves within their own
limits; or at least by furnishing them no outlet
in this direction.
Slavery would still exist in New York. New
Jersey, Pennsy lvnna and perhaps, New England
but for the opportunity which the South afforded
to ms.iers in those States, (whose cousciences
sender slavery became unproftable,)
of redTi-1g handsome sums by sending their
negroes TO better markets.
We do not say that the inhabitants of the
more northerly slave States, are yet ready to get
rid of slavery what we say is, that the States
further South should prevent them from euer
getting ready, by making it impossible for them
to throw off their slaves upon us. 1t will depend
no little upon our course in reference to this
matter. whether we retain them as allies, or con-
vert them into enemies. While they have slav-
cry, with no power to free themselves from 1T,
self-defence, yes tnelr very existence as cVlizeu
communities, will force them to make common
cause with us, in defence Of institution,
whose preservation is necessary to their, as well
as to our well being On the other hand, allow
them to get rid of it, as it bcomes less profta.
Bile, by the old process of sending their slaves
Soplhward, and they become like those further
North, our foes The strength of our opponents
is already sufficiently great; surely we should
not by our folly, make it more overwhelming
And the earlier the States above men toned
are informed that they no more than those
South of them, can erer escape from slavery
1 the better for them and for us. When convinced
of this, they will the more readily take concert
ed action with their slaveholding sister States
for the protection OF an institution, the destruc-
ton of which will seal the doom of every com
munity 10 which it exists. They now show
} themselves quite too willing to concede tC
Northern demands, believing that when the eui
day comes, il will come for others not themselves
Let us convince them that for veal or for wo
for the present and the future, now and forever
, our lot must be theirs, and our doom their fate
This can only be done by compelling them t

SINGULAR CIRCUMsTANOE,--A reliable friend

occurrence:
since the commencement of the term of the

TOT Merrlweather, brother of the gentleman some
time since murdered in our county, to attend as
prosecutor OF Peterson, the perpetrator of the

the company of some friends, and travelled the
same road The horse is very fine spirited
Day, doce in temper, and with an intelligent
eye When they approached near the spot of
the murder, the horse manifested evident sipns
OF alarm and restlessness. Observing the sim
gular conduct of the horse, Merrwea,he. deter
mined to give him the rein, and watch his move
ments AS ne approached near the spot of the
murder, he elevated his head and tail and an
peared to be watchful, and frequently uttered
that snort 30 peculiar to spirited horses when
apprehenslve of danger
Inc noble animal finally smelt the ground.
and trailed the course which the bodv of bis
former master had been conveyed BY his mur-
derer. lie finally reached the spot, smelt the
ground, and paved and snorted He then took
circle in the woods, at a moderate trot, re-
turned to the place where the body was found,
and repeated the same ceremony. This he did
several times in succession. And when reined
up it was with great reluctance that he was
forced to leave the place. Is this instinct, rea
son, or what is it? We have the from source
well informed and entirely reliable We should
like to have philosophical solution of this re-
markable event
