Religious Revival.

For the last two weeks the Rev. DIR. Teas
dale, Of Washington City, has been preach
ing in our vicinity with great success. Fif-
ty-one whites and ten blacks have been bap-
tized and received into the Church, whilst
many mourners are seeking the pardon of
their sins at the foot Of the Cross. God
graut that this great and glorious work may
be continued i'll our midst until every soul
is saved.
We are assured that no unnecessary ex-
citement prevails, but that the powerful rea-
soning and mastery eloquence of DR.. Teas
dale seems to convince all of the "error of
their way" and to bring them to firm de-
termination to try and serve the Lord. This
has been remarkable season Of refreshing
to all Christians. Nothing has occurred to
produce any unpleasantness, but everything
has been conducted "dccently and in order"
We take occasion to say in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Taylor, who accompanies DR..
T., as agent, to solicit assistance from the
brotherhood in building up the enterprise in
Washinton City, has been in our Village
for a fortnight past, and by his quiet and
Chsitian-like department, has commended
himself to the kind regard Of all with whom
he has been associated.

since, an expedition was fitted out, and, in
charge of Commodore Perry, dispatched
thithcr for that purpose. DR.. MoRRow was
sent, we believe, as agent Of the Agricultu-
raj Bureau. We had the pleasure of meet
ing him Immediately on his return to Wash
ington, seeing part Of his Chinese and
japanese collections and hearing most in
teresting account from him of the manners,
customs and character of the people who
live and move on the opposite side of the
planet to which we belong. We suhjoin
the notice Of the Charleston Courier:
The collection Of Japanese curiosities en-
hibited by Or. James Morrow, of Abbeville,
attracted great interest yesterday. One
case-nearcst the door as you 60 down the
main aisle, is filled principally with articles
of female uniform-such as fans, handkcr-
chiefs, DC.
Another case is devoted to bowls, vases,
cups and table utensils generally, including
n swine locomotive" which is used to pass
the bottle round at Chinese festivals
There are also exhibiting articles of the
male toilet, pipes for tobacco and opium,
purses, inkstands, &c. There is ventila-
ting hat, the principle of which well de-
serves test by some of our ingenious and
enterprising "tilers." Who will steal the
first march and give us "Commodore Per-
ry Hat?"

New Inventions.

Ma MITCHELL, of New York, brother
Of the Irish exile, it is said, has invented a
machine for setting types, and yankee has
invented another for drawing all the Iies
from quack advertisements. We protest
against the former, as likely to decrease the
already inadequate wages Of journeymcn
printers; and against the latter, as certain
to collapse the columns of country newspa-
pers to fearful degree. They are innova-
tions which onght to be resisted lat all haz-
ards and to the last extremity" if they are
not, "OrHELLo's occupations gone!",
The independent press. (Abbeville C.H., S.C.) 1853-1860, 1855-04-27

ance, by this distinguished advocate of the
cause. Tho large audiences that congrcga
ted i'll Military Hall, testified to the anxiety
to hear his eloquent and powerful Efforts
His speeches, marked by every popular
characteristic, and brimful Of humor, pith
and hittingness, were models of the best
sort of stump speaking Mr.. White is re-
markahly gifted man. Without any kind
of low buffoonery or coarse slang, he yet
manages to tread the level of the multitude
with as graceful Il step as We have ever
seen. No man better understands the art
of enlisting and Keeping attention. In ar
gument he is forcible and earnest; in illus
tration unboundcd; and in wit and fun, he
Is pleasant beyond description. Mr.. White
advocates the Alabama Temperance law
with great directncss and energy. We
learn from him that wherever he has spoken,
popular sentiment is overwhelmingly on the
side of this measure"
When will patents and inventions cease
a Yankee has brought here Washing
Machine, of very simple construction, by
which anybody can wash eighteen hundred
pieces i'll day. 1t trequircs another person
to soap and prepare the clothes. 1 saw
woman wash three shirts perfectly white in
one minute. 1t does it beautifully. The
patentce sold the right for this State for
twelve thousand dollars. The purchaser
will, have no doubt, break by it, as he has
invested his all in it. 1t is good thing, but
most people will do things after the old
fashion.
There is another wonderful discovery Just
made by a chemist in New Orleans Hc
has discovered something which, mixed with
adhesive clay, makes it combustiblc. II has
been tried here for two nights past, and
makes an excellent fire. 1t has also been
tried successfully OH locomotive. 1t pos
scsses great advantages over any other kind
offuel. First, it is cheaper; it can be made
anywhere; is clcanlicr than other fuel, and
evolves no gas or unpleasant odor. One of
our citizens bought the discovery, and left
this morning for Washington to procure

towns and cities. The name of this fuel
is "firnentum."
Yours, truly, Ben LANE.
