heads must pay for its qualification in these
times, with sugar at II, 10. and IA cents a

tell, as some of the New Orleans papers do,
that the sugar crop this season is dead

it has ever been known before.

ABOLITION EXCITEMENT IN MOBILE
Mobile, Augast 16.-There has been great
excitement here to-day, which had its origin
in the sale of Abolition books by staff on
cry firm in this city. The name Of the firm
in question is Strickland & Co., the individ-
ual members being VIM. Strickland and b..
Epson. The only charge against them was
the selling of books that were regarded of
an incendiary character, inasmuch as they
favored the freedom Of the slave.
This, however, was more than our peo-
pie could submit to, and a committee offve
of our citizens was accordingly formed, who
waited upon the individuals above alluded
to, and ordered them to leave the city with
in five days.
AS soon as the action of the committee
became generally known, and the parties,
for fear of more desperate measures against
them, fed from the city in the most secret
manner possible.
The firm was in the enjoyment Of largo
business, and have heretofore been literally
patronized by our citizens.

oUR DISTRICT.

| We arc under obligations to our clever and ef'
fcient Tax. Collector, Col. sADIER, for several
items of statistics, taken from his official record
for the past year.
IF the books of the Tax Collector can be taken
for it. there ore 465, SIS acres of land in York
District of which, 450 acres are rated as Of first
quality; 2l5,724, second quality; and 249, ,4Ol,
third quality. Taxes have been paid on ee7S
slaves, and by 62 free negroes. The amount OF
merchandise sold during the year is returned at
1927. $40; the income of Faculties and Profess
sions," SIT COS and the value of real estate in
YorKville, at S853,s25. On these values tax OF
S1O419,ee, has been collected for State purposes;
and S6,560, for District purposes-SS,436 to the
Board of Commissioners of the Poor, Sl,56z to
the Commissioners of Public Buildings, and ST.
5e2 to the Commissioners of Roads and Bridges.
There are several reflections which might be in
dulged here, but we shall pass themby. We must
have one word, however. The income Of faculties
and professions appear to be alarmingly small
Somewhere between twenty and twenty-five pro-
fessional gentlemen reside in Yorkvlle; now,
throwing the district entirely out of the calcula-
ton, if their income amounts to only Sl7,6O5,
positive starvation must eventually be the result
1t is rather fearful thought; and we trust: will
turn out that the Tax-Collector is Mt fault with
the figures. Since 1850, $50 have been added to
the number of slave population; and IS have been
taken from that of the free colored population.

GEN. wALLACE's ADDRESS

We have been much pleased to notice the very
general appreciation accorded by the Press of our
State to the address of Gen. WALLACE delivered on
the occasion of the laying of the Corner Stone Of
the Military Academy. 1t has been republishcd
in several ofthemore prominent journals, and with
lattering encomiums. We take the subjoined
paragraph from the Edgefeld Intormr:-
On our outside will be found the address of Gen.
D. Wallace delivered on the occasion of laying
the Cornerstone of the Kings Mountain Military
Academy On the 22d of April 1856. The Gen. re-
views with careful accuracy and eloquent earnest
nest the rise and progress of these institutions in
our State and pays that tribute to them which their
incalculable worth merits. The whole address is
replete with truthful enquence and practical good
sense. 1t is document worthy tic author, and
deserves to he enshrined as part and parcel OF
the history of the State Military institutions. 1t
will repay the reader, and We commend il rs pa
per full of valuable information and philosophic
truth

FROM ENGLAND.

The arrival Of the steamers Er2cSSo:a and Arabia
brought adviccs from Liverpool to the 3lst ult.-
These are not of special interest except so far as
they relate to the pending difficulties between the
United States and Great Britain. The public mind
in England is again aroused and has become anzi-
Gus on the subject of these differences, which is
the more to be remarked, inasmuch as all the ex-
hibitions of sentiment, Of late, towards this coun-
try have teen of the most friendly and conciatory
character. In the House Of Lords, on the 29th.,
the Earl of Elgin moved for information relative
to The despatch Of troops to Canada when dis
cussion arose in which Lord Clarendon expressed
friendly feeling towards the United States, but
stated that his government had positively refused
to recall Champion. ''Hc said that Great Britain
had made the amplest apology to the United States,
in regard to the recruiting business, but could not
consent 10 the recall Of Mr.. G. He also said that
an offer had been made to refer the Central Amc-
rcan affair to arbitration but had not been accept
cd That Great Britain was animated by the most
friendly feelings towards the United States, and
this would be admitted by them That, notwth-
standing this, language had been used in Congress
which, if used in Great Britain, would have been
denounced as tending to embroil the two countries;
and finally, that if, as LORD Elgin had stated, five
minutes, conversation between Mr.. Marcy and
himself would suffice to settle the business, he
would willingly meet Mr.. Marcy midway of the
Atlantic"
The feeling fanxicty has been further increased
By tie news 81 the reception ot FatLer VIGIL by
our government, and the apprehension OF resort
to hostilities is SO generally entertained that Il
proposition has been mooted to send Lord Elgin
or Sir II. L. Bulwcr as Special Ambassador
These facts induces US to fear that, contrary to
expectations in this country, the announcement
Of the dismissal of Mr.. CHAMPION will be uniuvor-
ably received, and tend greatly to complicate the
pending disputes. Mr.. Marcy's despatch had not
reached England when the Arajia sailed, and we
are Of course left to conjecture the manner Of its
reception. 1t is not improbable now that it will

AEEAIRS IN KANSAS.

The latestdates from Kansas confirm the tidings
of O renewal of hostilites between the proslavery
and Abolition settlers, and bring intelligence Of
the destruction of tho Frec-Statc towns of Ossa-
watomie and Palmyra by the Southerners, and OF
the town of Bernard and Franklin BY the Free
Stale forces, accompanied by the usual exaggera-
ted reports of murders, robberes, outragcs &c.
The statement published in our last issue relative
to Capt. PATHS company proves 10 be an exaggera-
ton and indeed, all tile accounts received are SO
manifestly exaggerated, SO entirely wanting in
truth and candor, that we can place in them no
reliance whatever. We only know that disorder,
riot civil war reigns in Kansas; the pursuits Of
peace and industry are wholly uninterrupted, and
the entire population, of both parties, are arrayed
and in arms. Where it will end, We cannot even
conjecture.
The matter was brought before the Senate, last
week, by Mr.. CRITTESDES, Of Kentucky, who in
troduced a preamble and resolution, requesting
the President to employ the services of Gen Scott;
and by Mr.. TRuMBuLL, of Illinois, in o bill pro-
VldlnS fof the transfer OF tne uoFerhineht VI haI
sas to that of Nebraska or, in other words, the
suspension Of the laws and the withdrawal of the
officers of Kansas, and the extension Of the laws
of Nebraska over that Territory. Mr.. Trumbull's
measure is intended to be only temporary, and it
cannot efectually, if it at ALL produce the de-
sired result. As soon as the operation of tie bill
would end, the rage Of contention would begin a.
fresh and with renewed vigor The war is upon
us, and it had better be fought at once.
Upon both of these measures there appears to
be great diversity Of opinion amongst all parties,
and it is very problcmatical what action will be
determined upon by Congress.

There is one great error which have seen un-

have suffered detriment. The public Press is un-
true to its great mission in this-it does not re-
buke public vice with hand sufficiently severe
and unsparing; and Christianity hos backslden
into tie same path. Jesus Christ did not forbear
the use of the rod when he went boldly into the
temple, upset the tables of the money changers,
and uttered the rebuke "H is wriHsn, my house
shall be house Of prayer; Jut ye have made it a
den or hieres." In that single act Of high moral
daring, if we may so speak, the world of man,
grooming under the weight of priyiledged vice,
saw the first ray of Light which betokeued the
dawn of brighter day and better dispensation.
