AMERICAN HEATHEN.--A writer in the Char
lesion ObSerrer, says: II hazard the assertion
that throughout the bounds of our Synod, (South
Carolina and Georgia there are at least 100 1000
slaves, speaking the same language as ourselves,
who never heard Ct the plan of salvation bv
Redeemer.
1t is also stated as fact that American Sla-
very makes more leathen than all the Mission
ares Societies in the world have converted--a
fact which ought to arouse and fix the attention
of the benevolent.
A writer says "The Missionary spirit is the
spirit of life, and if once directed to home heath
enism, will find field which it can occupy with

At a meeting of the Board of Trade of thi S
City last Saturday Evening, at the Court House,
the subject of the Iarbor Improvement was I'M
der consideration. n committee from that Board
reported a set of resol utons recommending TO the
Common Council the passage of certain ordnan-

fore the Tax is collected bearing Interest at II
per cent. per annum redeemable, Jan'y 1st 80
or before fn funds, also that no other scrip hall
be received for that Tax.
BY the issue of this scrip with Interest, the
aborng man will get pay for his work in good
funds instead of the miserable trash generally
used on such class of works, for with it, he can
purchase Flour or any of the necessaries of life,
at cash prices. These recommendations were
duly presented to the Common Council, Monday
Evening last, and Ilarbor Committee appoint
ed to report and no doubt the action will be
prompt. We say 90 ahead.
