THE New ORLEANS TELEGRAPH AGA1N-We
are far from being qucrulously inclined; but there
are some things that are too much for us to
bear silently How it Is we know not, but for tho
last few months scarcely day has passed that we
have not had good cause TO complain of some de-
lay or neglect on the part of the New Orleans and
Washington Telegraph Company, but except on one
two occasions have put up with the Inconvenience
rather than make our columns the vehicle for our
complaints But it seems the greater the patience
exhibited by us, the greater is the neglect that
ours on the line Yesterday morning two dispatches
were forwarded from Baltimore for this city, con-
tanning the Afica's inteiligence-onct intended for
another party at "a A. NJ. and the other for us ut
$40 A M.-six minutes later. The first despatch
arrived at 25 r. M but ours did not make its ap--
pcarancc until 4 IS p. M.--threc hours and twenty
minutes behind the other-to the great inconvo
nence of our evening contemporary, whom we sup
ply with telcgraphic dispatches, and our commercial
friends generally. This is evidently case of grosi
neglect on the part of some one aud in Justice to
the public, we call upon the President to Investigate
the circumstances Charleston Courier, Nay Il.

The General Assembly of the Prcsl,ytcrial
ChuI ch OF the United States

From the Charleston Mercury 2Ist instl
This distinguished body commenced its annual
session, yesterday at III o'clock in the Gebe street
church.
After the usual exercises, in which the Rev. Mr..
Rice, OF Va, oliciated, sermon was pronounced
by Rev DR. Humphrey, of Louisville, Ky. It was
in all respects production of very high order.
He reviewed and illustrated with great force. the
more striking points of the Calvanstic creed At
times he became indeed eloquent, and the audience
throughout evinced their approximations by an un-
wearied attention. The Assembly was then organ
ized, and after the customary routine of verifying
members, it adjourned to meet in the Second Pres
bytcran Church, at o'clock in the afternoon
At the hour appointed the Assembly met in the
Second Presbyterian Church
About two hundred members were present, rep
resenting Presbyterians III oil parts Of the Union.
We observed large number Of ladies and citizens
in attendance, who had availcd themselves of the
publicity of the deliberations Of the Assembly.
Alter few premnares the election of Modera-
tor was entered into, which resulted in the unani-
nous choice, by reclamation, of tho Rev. j. G.
Lord, ID, of Buffalo We take much pleasure
in announcing this result. To the distinction of u
learned and jealous divine, DR.. Lord has also
added that of bold and able advocate Of the con-
stitutional rights of the South He has wrestcd
strongly with the accused errors Of abolition lna-
tcism and in the midst of its votaries stood forth in
behalf Of equity and good faith. For his noble SER
vices he has, Of course, been assaed by revilings
and abuse. But, in being elected to preside over
memorable body, we have most ample tribute to
the unmpcachablty Of his character and conduct
1t is moreover, no littleipraise to this Assembly to
say that il knew how to appreciate and honor such
man.
Rev. Mr. Lowric, of New York, was chosen Clerk.
After conversation relative to the hours OF
regular meeting and adjournment, the subject was
referred to u committees
4 prayer was then offered up by the Moderator,
and the Assembly adjourned to meet to-day at nine
o'clock.

DAMAGE BY THE Ice NEAR CoLUMBIA.-I,
is stated in the Columbia PA Spy that the
recent move of the ice has done considerable
damage between that place and Turkey Hill.
At Washington many persons had to move out
of their houses, and several frame buildings
were more or less injured by being carried
from their foundation, or thrown on their sides.
Farther down, some buildings were moved
a distance of several hundred yards, though no
lives were lost. The Tide Water Canal and
dam at Columbia have also been injured, but
the bridge is safe, and on Wednesday seven
shares off its stock sold at 500, being the par
value, showing that the buyers entertain no
fears fits destruction by ice.

INTERESTING FACT.-From the report OF
the gardener TO whose care the trees of the
Crystal Palace were entrusted, it seems that
the old elms under the glass shade, so far from
being injured by their confinement, have in
creased in their branches from six to seven
feet, while the elms in the Park have made,
on the average, only one foot shoots.
