WE take pleasure in calling public
attention to the notice in our paper
this week of Il copartnership formed by
Mcssrs. RossER s. WARREN, for doing
4 general Commission business in
Charleston. Mr.. WARREN, has been
for number Of years Editor and Pro,
prictor Of the Camden Journal, and
now has also the management of. the
Temperance .1dsoouie. In the contest
of these papers he has shown aptitude
for business, and will doubtless make
good merchant. We wish both gen.
tIcmcn success in their undertaking.
We would also call attention to the
card Of Messrs. SAML. {. DUSK & Co.

The recent dropghts in our District

our planters will have to purchase corn
for the supply Of 1854, and the qacs.
ton is already discussed; where can
it be bought cheapest ?----We are not
prepared just nowto answer this query,
but as remedy against purchasing at

Of all interested be called, and q com.

gra-trading, so prevalent in our midst
and which we confidently believe robs

OBsrAoLEs no THE NAa. The New
York Sunday Times gives the fol.
lowing facts, to show the, lnpractica,
.bility of warm Europe -asluXurystllat
nations largely in debt can lardly ,af.
ford to indulge in:
"War, if it take place, would pro.
badly involve Great Britain, Russia,
Austria, Turkey and France. In
all these countries taxation has been
pressed rs far MS the people can
bear it. Everywhere the complaint
Of orcr-taXation is so loud and gen,
cral that the sovereigns must pause
ere they feed public discomfort by
increasing the public debts. We
have seen what Great Britain owes; the
annual interest on this debt amounts to
t2S, 100000, or more than half the
While revenue Of the realm. The
other leading States are thus Indebted:
Russia 22,l70,O00; Austria efS3,.
100000; Turkey fG.GGG,7OO; France
f22l, 10000. Mono of these States
evcept Great Britain, could obtain
u loan of amy amount--ccrtainIy not
a war loan-upon anything like
reasonable terms. Austria, Russia,
Russia aud Turkey have lately failed
i'll their respective efforts to borrow
money. Nor can France have bet
ter success. No money, no war. The
Indebtedness of the great European
States renders them practically
'b9und over to keep the peace"

Mcssrs. JOHNSON s. CAvIs the able
conductors of this paper gave notice in
their issue of Saturday that from and
after yesterday their connection with
the Cdroliuian would cease. We can
not regret too deeply the withdrawal
of too such gentlemen from the cd;to

for their future success. They thus
take leave OF their brethren.
Our brethren of the press have our
warmcst thanks for their oft repeated
manifestations Of Friendly and fratcrnal
feelings towards us. The press of Car
olina is conducted by gentlemen, warm
hearted, courteous, aud kind; and, on
involuntariIy rctireing from the corps,
we tender to them our most earnest
wishes for their prosperity and happi-
ness.
Whether or not either of us shall be
connected in the conduct ct another
journal in the State wc cannot now say:
but wherever our lot may be cast, we
will not soon forget the term Of our
connection with the readers of the Car:
Gilman, or the frequent kindnesses we
have received from many Of its friends
and supporters; and in penning these
parting words, we embody also the de-
termination to forget and forgive all
that we may have considered unlind-

their madness. we venture to stain our
columns with the following horrid Ian

orators at al Abolition gathering in
Boston recently. No power of words
can properly characterize such disgust
ing and outrageous profanity:
MIR. Henry &. Wright commenced
by saying that he was atheist to any
thing which sanctioned slavery.

God; | would put such God upon

beast. (lIiSscs.) Mr.. Wright pro-
cecdcd to say that he was IN atheist
to any God that sanctioned slavery;
he would spend his money and his life
to overthrow such God and such d
government. The day is past when
we should look to attributes or titles.

RELIGION AMONG THE SLAVES Mr..
Brook, editor of the New York Ex.
press, in one of his letters from Gcor-

"ln Savannah, in three Baptist
churches and one Methodist, there are
1890 colored persons, onc-lmlf of
whom are slaves. The pastor OF one
of the Baptist churches is slave, and
the other two arc free colorcd persons.
These churches contribute literally for
foreign and domestic missions, f. +
home poor, &c. At the Georgia Bap.
tist Association, held in War; en- co,,n.
ty last September, five slave preachers
were present, and voted upon all qucs-
tons presented for consideration. In
South Carolina there are more than
forty thousand slaves who are church
members; and in the entire South the
baptist and methodist churches already
have 2Gl 900 slave mcmbcrs.;'
