Restoration of DR.. Smvth.

We regret to learn, says the Charleston Courier, OF
Friday, from recent proceedings that the Rev. THOMAS
SMYrH, D. D., now at Newport, R. L. has felt con-
strained by his continued i'll health to dissolve the re-
lation which has existed between himself and the Sc
cond Presbyterian Church of city for twentyonc
years. At omectins Of the corporation Of that church
on Sunday 25th inst, the letter Of DR.. SMYTn was
read and elected appropriate remarks and resolutions
rendering the synpathies and coincidence of the con-
gregation and expressing the hope that their esteemed
and cherished pastor would yet be restored to meal
sure OF health that would justify the resumption OF
pastoral duties We need not add that many of our
community, not Of that congregation, and not of the
denomination even, of the learned and wcll.known
Divine, join heartily in tho samc wish.

Miller's Almanac.

We have received from the publisher, copy Of the
above Almanac for the year 1854 from which we
learn that there will be two eelpses of the Sun and
two of tho Moon. There will be an eclipse of the
Moon on the 18th of May, at the time of its full-in-
visible on this Continent There will be an annular
eclipse of the Sun May Goth, in the acrnoon-vsiLe
principally as large partial eclipse, III the u States,
on the Suns Northern limb. This eclipse will appear
largest IN Canada West in the north eastern part OF
New York. Vermont, and lower part of New llamp-
shire, and Maine 1t will be larger than any eclipse
that has been seen in the United States for num6Cr
of years past.

No Such Word as Fail.

A friend says, g. have no such word as fail i'll my
books" We are sorry we cannot say so too-but un-
fortunately the vocabulary of editors abounds too Of
ten in terms which ought to be obsolete. Their books
"Journa" for instance, exhibit the particular word
of 1 too frequently. It is possible some of our pat
rons have not good definition of this word i'll their
books. Ours is quite cxtensive-wc find by sad ex-
perence that the word means literally and ephati.
cally "to disappoin to deceive" and somctncs-al-
most too often-to be agreeable it is ito be deficient
or insolvent" We don't like the word f minute and
as we expect, in few days, to be eif-not to parts
unknown but some distance from present location
we hope this last appeal to all dclnqucnts will be ta-
ken in good sober earnest and that they will not fail
to give US some practical evidence of their apprccia-
ton of our lbors by settling at ONCE for certainly the
laborcr is worthy OF his hire

Lancaster Rail Road,

: The sum of S47,75O has been subscribed to the
Lancaster Road by individuals of the town and dis
trct, which, together with the Of $4,000 subscri-
bed by our Town Council, makes the sum Of $77,1J0
Whether this will secure the enterprise or nct shows
that there is at least disposition on the ,art of some
ofour citizens to keep Camden up-:o continue her IA
place in the picture" There is strong probability that
as soon OF the Lancaster Rail Road is commenced at
Camden, movement will be made at once by North
Carolina to extend the road from Lancaster to Concord
or some other point by which continuous line will
be mado from Charleston connecting, finally, with the
central Rail Road from Raleigh This is ono OF the
anticipated results which the present movement is ex-
pected to effect OF course the Road must first be
made, or started to Lancaster, before North Carolina
will take hold oft. That they would dos hardly can
be doubted.

accumulation Of specie funds from an excess of

from it, if there is such excess, and when it is
impossible to purchase the public stocks, is to
lend the surplus to those who will give as col.

would have the benefit of lower rate of inte.

they can obtain from any other source. The

Town ELEcrroN.-Th election for Intcn.
dant and Wardens of Edgefcld village came
off on Monday last, when the Dry Ticket (as
it is calIed,) was elected by a majority Of nine
teen votes. The working Of the an'i-license
system has proved so conducive to the peace
and quiet OF our town during the first years
trial. that our ciizcns wise y concluded to a.
dopt it again. An effort, we believe, was made
to restore the licensing ofhouses to sell by the
quart, which failed TO take. In truth, it was
considered by many that this would he produc-
tive of more deleterious results than the open.
ing of regular bar-ronms; and We have not a
doubt but that it would have been. In con-
sideration alone of the fact that we have large
and 0ourishing male and female schools in
operation at this time, we can but regard it "A
fortunate thing that the anti license ticket has

A Correct Idea.

In an editorial of the Southern Patriot we find the
following correct and appropriate idca:-
''It is the duty of the press, and within the power
of tho press to public abuses reform common
errors and direct public attention to those neglects OF
duty in which the public feel an interest"
We copy this from long editorial, and admire it as
an abstract proposition, containing in few words, a
great deal of meaning and in Judgment capital

News from the Rio GranGc.

BRAzos SANTIAGO, Sept. II, ls53.-Els. Pic
There is little news from this frontier save
the speculations naturally arising from the IN
crease OF troops, and general activity of the
military employees OIL this side Of the Rit
Bravo. We have recently received consider
able accession to our military forces. The ri
tle, the Sth Regiment of Infantry, some com
pal.ies Of artillery are en- route AID partially
arrived, giving more animated appearance
to our military posts than heretofore. the sin
ues Of war, such as morters, shells and ordi
nance stores, begin to make their appearance
all suggestive of dreadful note of preparation
-ior what Peace, think, but am in the
minority. The time has not yet come. 1t i:
s,id that four Of the Mexican States have pro
! nDunced against the government of Santa Anna
II so the sainteCl gentleman will have enough
to do at home without facing the United States
as an enemy. -
But truce to specializing. 'Fhe fate of Mex
leo is scaled. Her march is downward-sure
and inevitable. Her nationality will, be lost
a corrupt government aud people; a bigoted
priesthood, who monopolize the whole wealth
Of the country, who use their boundlesS re-
sources only to perpetuate their influence over
"a semi civilized race. Of such. what hope can
, be ENTERTAINERS?
8 Whilst our minister plenipotentiary is ex-
changing notes complimentary and of the most
pacific character with Santa Anna, he, through
his press, is Illuminating bitter articles against
the United States and its Government
1t is the common expression of all the Mex.
. leans on the frontier that another war will tell
a different tale from that of the last; and they
really feel that they are able to cope with any
natoa on equal terms. In the mean time the
mover of the,wires in Mexico wraps himselfin
his impenetrable cloak, talks pacific diplomat
ioaly) with General Gadsdcn, although his
heart is as full of gall as his head is full of
guile.
Gen. Woll (Mexcan) arrived at Matamoros
on the 18th with an escort of some two hun.
dred troops-more expected. He commands
the Mexican line on the Rio Grande. His head
quarters, it is said, will be at Canargo. Per-
manent Notifications are to be effected at Mat.
amores, Reynosa, Camargo,. land, it is said !,
other points on the river. 1t is very difficult
to give any item of news which may be vouch.
ed for, as rumor is busy with her thousand
tongues. One thing is certain, if the wishes of
the mass were to be consulted, war would be
inevitable.
Gen Smith and suit, Capt Gibbs, Major
Chapman, @. NJ, and others arrived two days
since from Corpus Christi, by land. | also
hear that Col. Delaferas, of the engineer corps,
is.with him, and that Fort Brown is to be re-
paired and other works thrown up at various
points on this line.
In haste, QUILLs.

ENGLAND AND FnANcE.-The New York
Express learns from person said to he in
close communion with those who know what
is going OH at the capital, that the statement
in regard to the rcmOMstrances Of France and
England touching Capt Ingrahan and Ko<za
is true. The express says:
"Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, was
the first to call on Mr.. Marcy. MIR. Sartigcs
had his instructions some time since to call on
the Secretary of State. These Instructions
were very specific and pointed but their delivery
until Thursday, the 22d inst, owing to the ab-
sence of the French Minister at Newport un
til Wednesday evening" when he returned to
the capital. The Government knew that these
instructions were to come from France, and had
been SO informed specifically some time since
The remonstrance IS in terms that Captain In.
graham's conduct was q violation of the laws Of
nations.
Mr.. Marcy has had his reply ready for some
time, but it has to undergo Some notifications.
Austria, he says, having appealed to the world
to justify its conduct, the United States will
also make an appeal to the world in behalf of
Capt. Ingrahams conduct in saving kiszta.
1t would seem, therefore that each Of the FIVE
European powers had concluded to take
ground against the United States in regard to
kosz!a. But we apprehpnd 10 collision of
arms from this Paper warfare. The, United
States hold to one set Of principles and will
maintain them, and the powers Of Europe to
quite another set, and we suppose will main

TIE MONEY AND PRoDuCE MARKET--Of
the fluctuations in the money and produce
markets, and of the reliance which is felt in En-
gland upon the United States, as grain pro-
ducer, and as consumer, the London Specta.
tor, Of the Sd inst, says:
We have our own difficulty TO contend with.
Our harvest is calculated to be something un.
der the average; and as .unquestionably an
enlarged amount Of means is in the hands of
the people, the demand will be in excess on be-
half of previous years with shorter supply at
home. For other supplies we calculate con-
siderable degree, no doubt, upon America and
here our difficulty tends to correct their dill,
Guilty; in other mords, the exchange which
they have in some degree anticipated will ,be
proportionably balanced by their exports of
grain. This is but one illustration of the effects
Of free trade, which enable fluctuations of one
country to correct those of another. BY this
means the people of the two countries are be.
coming connected as closely as the members of
two families living together in the same town
and trading together There was Il time when
war used to be spoken Of as a means of wipng
off old debts but here we observe, that as fast
us a debt occurs on one side, it has to be re-
deemed by a debt incurred on the other, and
welfare of each is involved for time of
indefinite extention in that alienation of debt
incurred.
