BISHOP CAPERS.

As conductors of the Public Press, we are in
duty bound to keep our readers Informed OF ev'
ery important measure in whatever quarter 1t
may originate, which is calculated to exert
material influence, whether for veal or wo, up
on the current of events which is sweeping on
to the vet untried future In this point of view
we lay before the public the address of Bishop
Gamers, to the citizens of South Carolina. In
a contest for our rights, the views presented by
the address are to our minds strong ly inconclu-
siye. and we venture the assertion that such ar
guments have never led brave and outraged
people to victory and freedom. But OF these
things Others are as capable of Judging as our
selves.
There is one point, however, upon which we
are not satisfied, and we hope that Bishop Ca.
pers should this article ever meet his eye, will
set the matter right, if it is capable OF any salts
factory explanation. 1t will be remembered
that the feature in the present controversy,
which agitates this country, and which gives 1t
most of its importance, is the censeiess acar
rhich is wnged upon the institution Of Siarery as
a phusical and moral rri. The point which
we wish settled is this, how can Bishop Capers,
as a citizen, counsel submission to course OF
conduct on the part Of the Northern people, for
which as Minister of the Gospel, he ventured
to sever one of the noblest ecclesiastical or
ganizations which has ever been formed for the
advancement of the religion of the Bible. The
DEGREES of the General Conference, whenever
they interfered with the rights of individuals,
were simply inefuctual, for refusal to obey
would have desolved that connection, from
which alone originated any obligation to ODE,
dience. But the DEGREES of consolidated
Federal Government can only be escaped by
seeking shelter in the only sylum which fanat-
cisn has left us, and whose security it becomes
us to test, before the evil days shall come upon
us. State sovereignty is our only hope, and
when breach after breach is being made in the
ramparts which surround us, AMI we are called
, on to make all unconditional surrender, because
"blight may fall on Charleston" and Gall the
State" and our taxes may be increased, we may
well adopt the language of the Bishop himself,
and cxclaim: "Can patriotism demand the
sacrifice? Patriotism demand the sacrifice OF
the State! No, never"
We are contondiug for principles, and patri-
otism may call upon us to sacrifice our interests,
but never our p, inciples No, never"
. - Black Rircr Watchman.

Hackers Gar Factory.

We took occasion, when in Charleston recently,
over the premises by Mr. Thomas F. Purse, who
explained the different parts attached to the Fac

ing iron and brass OF all kinds and descriptions.
Also, mortcing and tenanting is done on the lar.

After leaving the Car Factory, we visited Dir.

absent. We were nevertheless shown thema-

from the ground nut, said to be superior to table

REMEDY FOR BURNS.

DR.. Reese, physician of Belivue Hospital,
New York, has been making experiments con-
cerning the best mode of healing burns and
scalds and checking the acute suffering. He
has found that flour, thrown on with com.
mon dredging box, is one Of the best and most
efficient remedies yet discovered. The exter-
nal air is one of suffering and the -four thus
applied, both heals aud closes the wounds to
the atmosphere. The edges Of the wounds
which remained open he dressed with lime and
oil, applied by feather. DR.. Reese says the
above application made to wounds by fire, not
water gunpowder, &c. has been most happy in
the practice at the Hospital.

A man engrossed by one subject while talk
ing another, often says one thing when he means
another. Perhaps some contradictory testimo.
ny may be accounted for in this way; for
man who has said, what he did not mean to say,
and is not conscious of having said, will, of
course, be likely to deny that he did say SO.
A friend TO ladies' rights suggest that the

We command the following comments OF the
Montgomery Gazette to the consideration OF
our readers:
Does it not strike every Southern man as
something remarkable, that those suspected Of
having been engaged in violation of the laws
of the United States, in this case, should be
pursued and hunted down with so mnch ierocity
by the General Government, while those who
plainly and openly violated the law in Boston,
Massachusetts, by preventing the arrest of the
fugitive slaves from Georgia, should have no
notice whatever taken OF them by the very same
government Why is it, we ask, that South
erners land for this purpose even the sovereign
ty of q State has been invaded and its execu-
tive attempted to be seized and carried ont of
its limits,) should be arrested and tried for a
bare suspicion of participation in a violation of
the laws of the United States, while Northern
