B. II. OvERBY.-Some citizen of Georria
has addressed beautiful letter THROUGH the
Southern Recorder, to B. Fl. OVERLY Esq,
the Prohibition candidate for Governor in the
late election. Perhaps no compliment was
ever more worthly bestowed. The follow.
ing is an extract from the same:
81 will not wound your sensibilties by
any pretended coincidence on your defeat;
fer really your work, your late mission of Ia
Dor and love, is spreading its influence TO the
breaking up Of the old mass of granite, the
tlpplmg shops, which had crushed so many
tender hearts. You have proved a public
bcnctactor. The hundred and score address
es You made during the canvass, in all quar-
tiers of the State, still echo in the breast of
thousands who listened to your manly argu-
ments and soul-touthing appeals. You
painted humanity rs it suifers-as it drags
through the mire ofintOxicatiOn. Even now
your eloquent Voice, its deep pathos and i'm
ploring sweetness, tremulous with emotion
fingers in my delighted memory. Blessings
have been invoked on your head by many n
parent, by heart-broken wives and neglected
children. Tears of gratitude have flowed at
the mention of yOnr name, and bright hopes
are cherished that the cause Of which you
were the champion, vii ultimately prevail
Be Of good courage, soldier ofmural progress;
the dawn always succeeds the darkest peri

Chronicle says of this Bank:
d. N. Kennedy has been appointed Presi-

designed with much taste, and handsomely
engraved. In addition to the coin in her

Tennessee, and in private banking, and we
are informed, has not in that time negotiated

-eposed in the Banking House which she
succeeds.

NJ A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press writes rs follows in regard to the Lake
Superior country:
"1his is emphaticaly an iron country. In
every direction where the steps of the explorer
penetrates, iron ore Of more or less purity is
found Its veins ramify through rocks and
stones. The whole soil is impregnated, and
frequently the sands Of the shore are tnged
with its oxide. Boulders of iron are scatter
ed at random. On the highest part o. the
Jackson mountain remarked them, bare and
glistening in the sun. An Englishman, but
lust arrived in America, who has had long
experience rs manufactures, and has pos.
sessed facilities for extensive observations OF
iron miLcs in England and on the continent,
was directed by +. X. Collins to the iron
region of Lake Superior. lie came, unbeliev'
ing, thinking the story Of these iron hills was
Yankee hum5ug The utmost stretch of
expectations could not reach the reality which
he found. He says that the truth told in
England would be secuted as an arrant i'm.
posture-that the iron men of the Old World
could not conceive of depostes of iron on
such stupendous scale"

A MARVELLOUS SToRY.-The reader must

ave have been informed, but what exact
amount Of credibilty we should give to the
statement we are not prepared to say, that in
the progress of the formation ofthe Fovnes
Railway, some abOrers discovered, ut a small
distance beneath the surface of the earth,
within about two miles of AskeatOn, Il gi.
gantic skeleton eleven feet in length. Beside
the remains was found vessel, with an in
scrption on it, indicating that something
would be found by digging deeper. Fol-
lowing this ntimation, they uncovered
another vessel, something resembling bot
tie in shape, inscribed with legend which
directed that three drops of its contents
should be poured into the mouth of the
skeleton, whereupon its owner would come
to life again. Although much doubling, they
followed the Instructions but on letting the
second drop into the mouth, the skeleton be-
gan to stir, upon which the men became so
frightened that they took to fight, expecting
rs they ran to be pursued by the half resus-
citated giant. The report of this strange sto
~ caused such sensation in the neighbour
hood that the police had to close up the
grave, and thus the old Fcnian giant has
been once more consigned to his long slum-

The Herald says that the defeat of the De-
mocratic party in the Maryland elections is
uDquestionabIy due to the dead weight o! the
Pierce Administration, which the party had
to carry. The administration threw itself in
to the canvass, the party fought the battle in
behalf of the administration, and the result is
before us. A clean defeat of the spells De-
mocracy, and u glorious victory for the Amer
leans! We believe, also, that the success Of
the Americans is greatly due to the constant
y increasing popularity Of their principles
They will undoubtedly, unless guilty mean
while of the stupidest follies and errors, give
the Forney. Kitchen Cabinet party fits next
year. There IS no hope for the Pierce De-
mocracy, If the Americans play properly the
cards already in their own hands.

HINT TO DESCENDING MINTsTERs.-A
certain minister, who had been very successful
in his abors in the Gospel VINEYARD nj length
saw but little fruit attending his administra-
tons. To be useless he could not bear; his
soul was bowed down under the discouragng
prospects around him. Nothing on earth was
so gloomy to him as spiritual dcarth, for he
had been used to showers of reformation and
mercy; and nothing else could satisfy his
mind. Seeing no outpourings of the Spirit,
no sinners converted under his preaching for
some time, his soul was beset with dpspond
ing and melancholy. While thus exercised,
he dreamed that gentleman hired him to
work for him, and the price of his labor per
day was stipulated On inquiring what his
employer would have him go about, he was
informed that he must 60 and hammer GER
tain rock to pieces.
That he replied, would do no good, for
the rock is large and hard, and could never
break it to pieces
THAT is nothing to you said the gentleman,
follow my directions and will pay you your
wages
The ,aborer then went TO work, and though
it appeared an endless, and therefore useless
task he labored with diligence and patience
for the sake of his wages. After while,
contrary to all his calculations, the mountain.
GUS rock broke into shivers.
The minister saw the dream contained in
struction for him. He felt the rcproof, re-
sumed courage, and was again blessed with
seeing the rocky hearts of many of his hearers
broken by the hammer of Gods Word.
