Literal Interpretation.

AN enthusiastic devotee of Campbclism
on certain occasion, after holding forth
upon the "litcral Interpretation" of the
Scriptures, sat down, saying:
81 iare any man to gainsay my posi-
tions."
Up rose shrewd little Dutchman, and
replied as follows:
"My friends, doshe have but Won word
to shay: De schripters dush say dat he dat
believeth, out of hish pelly shall flow rivers
of water; and as it ish a very dry time, and
we dush need water to grind NIT, I moves
dat he dush take his shtand at de head o.

If they are wanted. 1t is impossible to say
at this time any more than have published

Guilty that might be caused by too early
disclosure to unknown persons. Every per.
son who goes will need 81 so in cash to pre-.
pare himself for the trip. None can 20
without that much.
The newspapers, especially those in New

Those who wish to 60 are requested to send

slight adumbra'ion already given of this
project. will say, however, that MAJ,
who is fortunate enough to be received in
to its ranks may consider himself a lucky
man. 1t will comprise the finest body OF
men ever brought together. They will all
be young, spirited, and respectable, while a
great many are men Of the very finest talent
and highest rank in the country. No man

MORE to gain his acquaintance and sec his
paintings. We had seen, years ago, a few
of his maiden efforts to sketch "thc human
face divine" and occasionally an allusion by
the press to his later performances. Neith.
er Of these, however, although highly cred
liable to the young self-taught artist, had
prepared us to believe what we now are
convinced of in regard to his skill. He
exhibited to us several portraits which we
unhesitatingly adjudge the finest and $50
Tar as we are acquainted with the originally
most correct we have ever seen. The one
most attractive to us, representing a little
babe, which had recently died, ascending a
stairway of clouds to the home of angels,
was as beautiful in execution as it was ap-
propriate in design. Such memento will
excite feelings Of gratitude to the artist in
the hearts of the bereaved parents while it
recalls remembrances of the dearly loved
and early lost.

1MPoRrANr FROM CuBA.-A telegraph

says: The Spanish government Shad re-
ceivcd confidential dispatches from Concha,
declaring that q Cuban deputy ought to be
admitted to the Cortcs, and opposing the
emancipation Of the slaves us calculated to
cause the Cubans to seek an alliance with
the United States. He thinks if the Gu

conduct Of the war, and declares useless it

together, though they may act for the same
object. The English are to reconcile him
iii some way.
Other and subsequent accounts, by the
arrival, OH the 30,. ult., of the Asia, do not
encourage the hopes of peace. Hopes and
fears are about equally ba lanccd. The
Austrian and Prussian circulars arc pacific
in their tone, but the manifesto of ALExAN-
DER to his army is warlikc. The first meet
ing of the Vienna Conference took place
OH the fifteenth, but Prince Gortschalloti
was not present. The allies had rcopcncd
fire upon Sevastopol. The English commit
tee of enquiry was still sitting. The Rus
slams were indurtriously adding to their for
tifications and had sunk two more ships in
the harbor. 1t was reported that England
and Austria would bc satisfied without the
destruction Of Scvastopol, but NAPOLEON
insists upon its demolition. 1t will not be
entirely unexpected news to us to hear be-
fore many months, that the allies have dis,
solved partnership. This is about the only
way they can, with any protection to self
respect, get out of the fight. Of course
when one partner in a firm bolts, the 9th,

The Weather..

The weather i'll this region continues to
grow "no better fast" Our last allusion to
it was lachrymose enough, but since then
we have had one or two freezes that have
cffectually settled the peach question, whilst
gardens, wheat and oat crops, as we'll as
vegetation generally, have sustained consid-
cradle injury. We hear Of some farmers
planting corn the second time.

The Rasche Concert,

THE audience OH this entertainment last
Saturday evening was small. This 10 doubt
had tendency to dcpress the spirits Of the
company and prevent that flow of spirits
which is so conducive to the charms of mu-
sic. Nevertheless, the performances were
highly satisfactory. We hope the compa-
ny may meet large audiences wherever it
goes, for we believe it worthy.

Tho Last News from Europe.

THERE is no longer any doubt of the
death of the Russian Gar NICHOLAS: The
last accounts from Europe fully confirm the
report Of his death. A few days pre-
vious to bis death he succeeded in recon.
Cling the differences existing between his
two eldest sons, ALEXANDER and CoSsTAN-
TINE. At the time of the Cars fall
ing i'll, the Prince ALEXANDER was the
only son presentin St Petersburg, but Con-
sTANT1NE arrived to see his father alive.
In the presence Of both of them the Car
made over to ALEXANDER the imperial
throne, and CONSTANTINE vowed his alle-
glance to the new Gar, In England the
news Of the Cars death was received with
unconcealed joy. Greater JOY could not
have been exhibited evensat the fall of Sc
vastopol. somkSf the people desired the
ringing of church bells. In Paris the DO
lice arrested the ballad singers for chanting
verses disrespectful to the dead Car. From
the tenor of the accounts by the Atlantic,
1t might be inferred that the prospects of
peace are frightened by the accession. of
ALEXANDER TO- the Russian throne, as some
writers attribute to him a more pacific sdiss
position than belonged to his father he

LOST CHILD.-A little son, five years old
OF PETER p. CHAsrA1N, of Anderson Dis
trict, strayed off one day week before las,
and had not been heard of when the Gu
zette of last week was issued, although a
most diligcnt search had been made.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-The town Of San.
dersville, Georgia, suffered distressingly from
fire few days ago. The loss is estimated
at more than a hundred thousand dollars
Some families have been left housclcss and
penniless. The Office of the Central Geor.
gian was destroyed, but the editor announ.
ces that it will be replaced by the first Of
May, or soon after.
LAND WARRANTs.-The Charleston Con-.
rier says land warrants are in good demand
in New York, and worth slGO to $le5-
parts in proportion. When the new ones
are issued under the act of the late Con-
gress it is probable the price will decline
