aTbe recent riotous demonstration in Boston
has awakened throughout the South an intense
feeling Of indignation, and has suggested to
men of sober Judgment the necessity of some
measure Of retaliation, and Of protection for
the future It is plain that
new and glorious destiny awaits the South
and beckons us onward to career OF iude-
pendence. Shall we train and discipline our
energies for the coming crisis or shall we con-
tinue the tributary and dependent vassals Of
Northern brokers and money-changersi Now
il the time for tho South 10 begin in earnest
the work OF seIEdevclopmcnt. Now is the time
10 break asunder the letters of commercial
subjection, and to prepare for that more com
picte independence that awaits usD
Richmond Inquirer.
Passing over all else in tho foregoing, wo
will simply point to the declaration that the
Southern People are "thc tributaries and de-
pendent vassals OF Northern brokers and
money-changers y that the work Of "self-de-
velopmento has not yot been begun in the
South and that the South is bound by fet-
tcrs Of commercial snbjectiou" If the charges
here made against the South by the In
qnirer are true, it all proceeds from Slavery
alone The people Of the South are inferior
to no people in tho world. They are noble
people, and capable Of every noble work. They
arc only oppressed by Slavery. Remove that
from them, and thoy will rise in might and
power. But the resolution will not do; the
MEANS must be used. Put away Slavery Prop

ogy to the United Presby yterian Church, Edinburgh
In 2 voIs pp 646 and 500. New York: Carter a
Brothers Sold by Gray 4 Ballantyne and Robert
Farnham, " ashington.
We have carefully examined these volumes.
They are worthy Of the reputation Of the au,
1or His work on the EPistle to the Galatians
we had the pleasure to present to the notice OF
the readers Of the Era some time sinoe and we
hope that notice may have led to the purchase
of that admirable book. To such, we need
only say Of this work, that it is another like
contribution to the better knowledge OF the
Word Of God. The great question IL, "What
think ys of Chria?n On our answer to this
question hangs the dcstinies of tho present and
tho future. We are what our principles, mo-
tives, actions, make us to bo; and our actions,
motives, and principles, in their highest and
happiest development are wrapped up in our
faith in Jesus Christ 1t is union, one and
inseparable, now and forever. In these days
Of rati0nalistic theology, it is desirable that
works fitted to meet the skepticism Of philoso-
pliers, (' falsely 80 called, y should bo in the
hands Of al! Minister'S Of the Gospel especially,
and in the hands of all whose tastes lead them
to read Con mentaries on the Scriptures.
"A personal Deity is the soul of natural re-
ligion; a personal Saviour-the real living
Christ--is the soul Of revealed religion" "The
Faith Of Christ" lies at the foundation Of
true Christianity. And this work, for beauti-
ful presentation Of the teachings Of Christ en-
forcemcnt Of his precept,; rich, various, and
learned illustrations Of the text, is an example
of the advance mnde upon liko works of the
last ccntury--the pions Matthew Henry, the
leaden- headed dullness of John Gill, and the
sensible Thomas Scott; and all commentators
in English, with their frstlys," asecondlys"

DR.. Browns Expositions have nothing Of this
weary routine all is fresh, bright, and vari-
GUS; and tho critical disquistions on the text
which annoy plain people in reading Carke's
Commentaries, and others, are here all brought
together at the end of the several divisions OF
the book SO that what is addressed to the
English reader is in the text, unbroken by
these "stones of stumbling and rocks Of Of
ience.o 1t is from no wish to sell book we
write this notice, but that all to whom Christ
s precious, and his words precious, may be led
TO put this book into libraries or upon q book
shelf, where it will be at hand TO aid them to
more pure and perfect realization of Him who
spake as never man spake. These words of
life, which, however wide and high the human
soul may stretch in the growing greatness Of
man as an intellectual being, will ever be the
living fountains Of purity, Of gentleness, of good
ness, and of truth.

ARREST OF DARING OUTLAW IN LAFoUNcHE PAR1sH.-We are indebted to gentleman of veracity just returned from trip to Thibodaux for the following account of the capture of a daring runaway and outlaw:
 On Sunday morning last the inhabitants of Thibodaux and its vicinity were rejoiced to hear of the capture of Wild Henry" who has been for long time declared outlaw and the terror of the neighborhood. Some years ago he ran away from the plantation of Mir. P. To- rio, and ever since he has been prowling about, levying contributions from all the adjacent plantations, and even from the town of Thibo- daux itself Early Sunday morning he was dis covered on the Rienzi plantation, and was in the act of taking aim at the overseer, when a load of buckshot from one of his pursuers crippled him so badly that he surrendered. At the time of his capture he resembled walking arsenal being armed with shot gun, two large pistols and long keen narrow bladed butcher knife It is presumed he will be tried and executed summarily, as he has on several occasions at tempted the lives and wounded the persons of those who were attempting his capture.
 He is represented as negro of great cunning and adroitness The slaves around all feared and obeyed him; for he made them believe that he was a conuror, and that if they offend- ed him he could cause their instant death by scattering a few grains of sand on the ground. He also showed them several bullets and buck shot which he said had been fired at him, but he had coniured and caught them harmless in his nand.-N 0. Picayuqae.

A Witty Reply.

There is all excellant story on record of an architect repudiating any connections with the building fraternity in the case of the late emi- nent and talented Mr. Alexander, the architect of Rochester bridge and several other fine build- ings in the county of Kent, England.
 He was under cross-ex xamination, in a special jury case at Maidstone, by Serjeant Garrow, who wished to detract from the weight of his testimony, and who after asking him what was his name, proceeded thus:
 "You are builder, believe?'
 "No, sir am not builder, am an arch- tect."
 "Ah, we'll; architect or builder, builder or ar chitect they are much the same, 1 suppose"
 "I beg your pardon, sir, cannot admit that; I consider them to be totally different"
 "Oh, indeed!-perhaps you will state where- in this great difference conssts?''
 An architect, sir, prepares the plans, con- ceives the designs, draws out the specifications in short, supplies the mind; the builder is merely the bricklayer or the carpenter-the builder, in fact isthe machine; the architect the power that puts the machine together and sets 1t going" ,.asa
 "Oh, very well, Mir. Architect, that will do; and now, after your very ingenious distinction without difference, perhaps you can inform the Court who was the architect of the Tower of Bablen'
 And now mark the reply-which, for the promptness and wit, is, perhaps not to be IT. vailed in the whole history of rejoinders.- "There was no architect, sir, and hence the confusion."

Betting with a Lady.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas, relates the following amusing anccdote:-
 Last Sundays steeple chase has contributed greatly to the hilarity of the week, by an ad- venture of one of the ladies of the financial world, with wealthy old gentleman, quite as notorious for his avarice as the late Marquis d. AligGe. He had taken his place by this lady, and had overwhelmed her with his raccoco con- pliments, to her great annyance As she feared these embarrassing civlities would be frequent ly renewed during the coming racing season, she resolved to end them with that day. The attendants were raising the flags and making the other preparations antecedent to the start, when she abruptly ended one of his compi- ments with {" You must bet with me- Con. cealing his annoyance at this proposal as adroit- ly as the lady had disguised her weariness of him, for he could not decline it, and the greater his sang frod the cheaper he thought he could eXtricate himself from the wager. "Done." said ne, lowing very gracefully, "what shall we bet?' "Ah. anything. A camelia" Attr- outing to her honeyed voice the insignifcance of the bet, he went so far as to rally her on the smallness of the stake, and assuming virtue that he never possessed, he urged her to ven ture two camelias on the horses. The bet was chronicled in due form; the horses chosen; the signal of departure given, and in a few minutes the nlser bowed again and assured Madame -, that his bet should be paid early next day. "Ah! l intend selecting the flowers my self" replied the lady; "we'll go together to the forst's.' The old gentleman was forced to consent.
 The next day at an early fashionable hour, the unfortunate better escorted Madame and several of her friends to the fashionable florists -Lemichez, in the Rue due Temple, where the niggardly Cresus at once ordered boquet for Madame. She gave a scream-a boquet- Monsieur had forgotten his bet! The bet was a camelia, two camelias, such as those, point ing to two large trees filled with camelias. Ad- mirably trained as he was in the school of the world, the old gentleman could not prevent his countenance from becoming deadly pale; he felt assured those large trees would cost twenty dol lars; he felt he was |" in for it," and submission was all he could do
 "Take those camelias to my house," said Madame -, speaking to the gardener, "and send the bill to Monsieur"
 "No, Pll pay at once; how much are they?"
 "A hundred dollars"
 "What?' exclaimed the old gentleman, con- pletely supplied.
 "A hundred dollars apiece, two hundred dol lars for the pair"
 "How reasonable Lemchez always is in his prices!' exclaimed the lady, while her debtor was still confounded with surprise. He reluc- tantly drew his pockct-book, paid the money, and has secretly vowed he will not again ven ture in the ladies' tribune of race courses! may chronicle the rumor that the wife of one of our we'll known bankers won $4,OOO at the race by judcious betting; wouldn't she prove a jewel of wife to-the keeper of Porter's Ho- tel?

The Teacher Stumped.

It happened in school room one day, while a class of very small boys and girls were recit- ing a lesson in arithmetic. It was about their first lesson.
 Five from five leaves how many?" asked the teacher, of little girl of some six years of age.
 After moments reflection, she answered. "five"
 "How do you make that out?" said the teacher.
 Holding her little hands out towards him, she said, here are five fingers on my right hand, and five fingers on my other. Now, if take the fingers on my left hand away from the fin gers on my right hand, won't five remain?'
 The teacher was "stumped" and obliged to knock under''

AN ExAMPLE.-A Cincinnati paper states, that three years ago. poor orphan girl applied and was admitted to set type for that paper. She worked two years, during which time she earned, beside her board, about $2OO; and avail ing herself of the facilities which the printing office afforded, acquired a good education. She is now an associate editress of popular paper and is engaged to be married to one of the smartest lawyers in Ohio. Such girl is bound to shine and eclipse tens of thousands who are educated in the lap of luxury, and taught all the accomplishments of the board ing school. Such wife will be a jewel to her husband, and an ornament to society, and an honor to her sex and her country.
