let New York on Monday last, and bringing
US a paper from It city one day later than
furnished by the .dils.
The South Carolina, owned, as we under
stand, entirely by citizens Of the State, has
been constructed under the careful superin-
tcndence of Capt R. H. Tucker, who now
commands her, for the purpose of opening a
direct trade between this port and Liverpool ;
and if the enterprise proves successful, other
ships of a similar class vii! be placed on tie
line, thus securing 10 Charleston the certain
ty Of procuring merchandise promptly, and
without tile trouble, expenses, and detention
resulting from trans-shipment ria Northern
ports.
1t will now depend only on our own mer-
chants whether this line is supported, and
we feel assured that there will be no lack of
patriotism OH their part, if the owners of the
South Carolina make such arrangements rs
to insure promp:itude and regularity in her
movements.
The suLjoincd account Of her trip has been
furnished us by her courteous Commander,
which fully accounts for the delay expe-

interest is no doubt felt for the result of the
South Carolina's qualities, beg leave to give
through your columns, the trip from New
York to Charleston:

SUPPORTING TIE CoMpEoM!sE--Thc South
crn Press well says" As for supporting
the Compromise, or acQuiescing in it, that
would be too absurd. The oLly measure of
the Compromise in which 4 Southern right
was recognised, is already 4 utility in prae-
ticc. The Compromise has nothing now to
recommend it 10 the South: but The most
empty of distractions"
We have seen (says the New York Srien-
tifc Amcrican) the model of Il Crystal
Palace, by Mr. Bogardus, Of this city. the
we'll known American inventor, whose fame
is worldwide, and whose iron buildings are
unrivalcd for strength, simplicity and beauty.
The design, we hope, will not be applied to
the dwarf Museum Of Riddle, but 10 {;
Worlds Fair, to be held in our country not
many years hence The design is superior
in all its details TO tho London Crystal
Palace 1t can be built ten miles long, and
all the harmony Of its parts preserved. The
roof is entirely new in principle and plan,
and it will never leak-no goods will be
spoiled by passing showers-and to show
how much prudent utility and calculating
furc,hought there is in the plan, after it has
served for Il Crystal Palace it can be taken
down and made into a number of iron build
inrs, without alteration, one OF which may
be put up in every sepcratc State of the
Union. 1t is 80 planned that none of the
braces and binders. which so disiigured the
interi, of P:lxton's great work. will be re-
aured it will be simple, yet beautiful and
grand-a design original and unique, one
worthy of our country-emincntly Ameri
can, vet cosmopolite enough TO cover The
industrial products Of all nations, ard to
command the admiration of the inhabitants
of all lands. The American who would inn
port CRYSTAL Palace should be transported.
GEN. TARvER.-This worthy gentleman,
recently deceased, was the richest man in
Georgia, owning some 1900 slaves. He was
moral, benevolent, and temperate, and uEi-
versaly esteemed. Yet his last words were:
"After all, have spent my life in no im-
portant purpose. in the pursuit of unsub-
stantial things. If had to live my life over
again, it should be devoted 10 the study of
the Bible, to prayer, to preparation for the
life to come. The things of this world will
do to live by, but will not do TO die by."

John Taylor Jones, A. L.. of Bangkok, on
the 18th of September. DR.. Jones had been
for nearly twenty-three years one of the
most highly esteemed missionaries Of the
Baptist Board of Foreign Missions.
