Judge O'Neall,

We regret 10 sec that Judge Neall has determined
not to serve longer than July in the Office Of President
of the Grecnrillc and Columbia Rail Road Company.
The Southern Patriot in noticing his resignation,
says; "Without dsparagomont to any of the distln-
guisled gentlemen whose names have been spoken OF
in connexon with his successorsp we do not hesitate
to say that we would prefer to have onethird of the
Judges time in the prosecution Of any public enter.
prise than to have the whole Of tile time of almost
other in the State. In the devotion and energy
which he has manifested in prosecuting to successful
completion the Greenvic and Columbia Railroad, he
has laid not only the Company but the whole upper
country under debt ofgratitudc which will continue
to increase with our prosperity, and must cntitle him
to the claim of great public benefactor. Without
him the Road never could have Lcen built"
The following communication from the Judge is a
notice to the Stockholders of his intention to resign
which we copy in accordance with his request, as one
favorable to the road and all other enterprises which
look to the benefit and prosperity of our State

TO THE MINISTER OF WAR:
Dear Sir-Col Don Miguel Andradc delivered
to me at 0 o'clock, on the morning of the 3Oth
ult, at my villa of Nanac Amilpa, your EScellen-
cy's note, of the 9th uit., and at o'clock, p

was required. Having arrived, and already EN-
barked, am prepared to leave the republic TO-
day.
am unable to conceive in what way, or by
what act, my presence in the country can he an
obstacle to the preservation of tranquility and
public order, unless it be imputed to me as a
crime, the fact of my having sustained in my
character of private citizen some friendly rela-
tions with Carv9al, and other North American
Federalists, established near the frontier; for the
expression employed by your Excellency in your
note, according me the privilege of enjoying my
pay and rank while / remained in Europe"
seems 20 indicate that. fact. I am obliged to
say to your Exceency, that beside my Federal
opinions, and thesympathy feel for North Am
erican institutions, have been guilty of no Of
fence, which ought to expose me to the penalty
OF punishment. | desire the happiness of my
country, and to obtain it, see TO other means
than Federal institutions, and if necessary, an
ncration to the United States; for in that mea-
sure Mexico would discover an incxhaustible
source of wealth and prosperity, in exchange fer
that grand riddle, that squaring Of the circle,
which Gen. Santa Anna calls nationality"
Tile day piU cone aphen this shall take place,
and in the meantime, sir, ought to, and do,
protest against the act of oppression which i
suffer; and in due time l shall demand the re-
paration due for the loss and prejudice to which
it has subjected me. Dio q etc.

lima, we hayemuclI to encourage tandaiso- much
to discourage u.s. 1t is true, believe we arc
making some progress, but it is in way that
attracts but little attention, and is only percep.
tble to ourselves, upon the examination of ouy
quarterly reports. TO be largely successful
we must attract the attention fthe whole com.
munity, and the question with us is, How is
that to be bcnefcialy accomplished?
Iwould respectfully recommend that an ef
fort be made to procure the assembling of a
Convention of the friends Of Temperance du.
ring the present year, to embrace all classes OF
temperance men, including, if possible, those
who are not acting with US at all, and unpledg
ed to total abstinence themselves, but who are
sensible of the great evil of intemperance, and
the appliances which are legally in use to in
crease and perpetuatc it.
We have by resolution taken strong ground
against the traffic in ardent spirits. Resolu.
tions on paper accomplish nothing, but active,
vigorous effort, on the part of all the friends of
temperance in the State will accomplish much.
The people are looking OF, expecting US to do
something. Many of them are not enrolled
with us, who, in warfare against the retail
system, are ready to buckle on their armor and
do valiant service, but they have no one to lead
them, and unless we move and move energet-
ical, in the matter, nothing is likely to be
done.
would therefore recommend that COM
mittee be appointed to correspond with other
organizations in the State; aud with individuals
of standing and intelligence, patriotism and
christian benevolence, and invite them 20 act
with us and interest themselves in getting up
public meetings in the different districts and
communities, aud that delegates be appointed
self Econsttuted if necessary ry-and thus or
gauizc convention that will consider the whole
subject in spirit of love and patriotism. and
recommend such course as may be deemed
most advisable to get rid oftte hindering cause
to our success in promoting the moral and so.
cial condition of our f,.llow.men.
Such proposition must meet the approba-
tion of the christian ministry and Of christian
men every where. 1t should meet the appro-
baton of the judiciary and legal profession, of
the practitioners of medcine-if they have en-
tered the profession with proper motives Of
the owners of slaves and the lovers ofgood Or
der and the best interests of the people.
Such an assemblage will carry with it a mo.
rd power that will rouse up the people and
make the faithful and loyal subjects of King
Alcohol tremble for the pcrpetuity of his reign
within the (otherwisc) free and enlightened
State Of South Carolina.

The WALDESsEs.-The New York Evan
gelist says in relation to this interesting people:
The Rev. Mr.. Ravel, an honored pastor of the
Waldenses, is now in this country on brief
visit for the purpose of promoting the better
acquaintance of our churches with the venera-
bic and most worthy body Of confessors he
belongs to, and of procuring some assistance
for the prosecution of the remarkable mission
ary work which has been suddenly thrown
&pon their churches. After ages of untold suf-
fcrings and dcprivation>, the Waldenscs now
fGad themselves free neonle, in free coun-
try. Sardinia is open to their evangelical la
bors without obstruction. They have a. very
large church in Turin; meeting in Genoa,
and in other cities; and with a zeal worthy OF
their old fame, and admirably indicative OF the
genuincness of the Christian faith, they are ell
deavorng to enter the wide and cllnctual door
thus opened to them. They have despatched
colporteurs to different parts of the kingdom,
and undertaken the missionary work in all its
departments. Though geographically restrict
ed to the kingdom of Sardinia they have, ncv-
ertheless, access to all parts of ltal y; for, at
every city Of the kingdom exiles are gathered,
who are ready prepared for Protestant truth,
belonging to every Italian kingdom, and through
whom the gospel might be transmitted. The
Waldcnses have also fine college at La Tour,
of eight professors, and arc anxious to add a
theological department to it, in order to raise
up an educated ministry on the ground. These
objects of course, demand means; and these
sufferers for Christ's sake have never been rich.
The opening is one of such rich promise, and
the associates connected with the name and
history Of the Waldenses SO affecting, that we
can confidently promise Mons. Ravel cordial
welcome and substantial aid"
