Cu1ious Scene in Church.

In the church Of the Rev. Henry Watd
Beeehet. OF New York, on Sunday, the
minister preached sermon OH the Sumner
assault case. and, at the close, called up TO
the pulpit very light cololed slave girl
from Staunton, Virginia, who. he said
had been sent to him on her personal Sc.
curly 10 be freed by subscription. If that
was no, done in week she would have
TO return slavery. The Rev. gentleman
made an appeal which brought tears from
the eyes OF the audience, and $500 from
their pockets. An old gentleman an
nounced that tie sum for her release hac
been pledged by some friends of his
which announcement was received with
chee:s stamping, and waving OF handker-
chiefs. The girl was taken into the pull

Crops in Augusta,

SO far as we have been able to learn..and
had opportunities 20 observe, we conclude
that The wlleat crop in this county Will be
unusually hight. The ravages of the fly
together with the drought. have DESTROYED
large quantities of wheat that bid far early
in the Spring. In our exchanges we see
complaints from various portions of the
State.
The frost of the 30th ult., devasted the
gardens, and in some localities. badly III
jured the corn. The early wheat it is
feared. has been injured.
We have just been blessed, by gracious
Providence, with refreshing showers, which
improves the prospects for glass, oats and
corn.

TUE Princess ROYAL OF ENGLAND
The London correspondent OF a country
paper thus describes the appearance Of the
Princess Royal at the drawing roon'' :
Il was scarcely prepared to behold htr
fine grown, handsome woman, taller by a
couple inches than her mother, AMI carry
ing herself with the ease and grace OF wo-
hood. Her face is perfectly loxely. The
regularity of her features is perfect. Her
ey es are large and full Of intelligence, i'm
parting 10 hes face that sort Of merry aspect
which indicates good humor. The nose and
mouth are delcalely and exquisitely Iorm-
ed, the latter giving the effect Of great
sweetness The princess is more like
her father than her mother. She is like
the Queen in nothing but her nose In all
other respects she is female image Of her
father. Her Majesty begins to wear a
matronly aspect. She becomes slightly
stout. too. and looks more and more like
the Duchess of Kent. Prince Albelt's
likeness TO the portraits of the Gear Mich
olas is remarkable, and striking, and it has
become more observable since he became
bald"

this, like the other pretence, comes to US
at time when all must be satisfied that
the only security Of The South consists in
strict adherence to the Constitution
The people. Of Virginia have long since
decided to adhere infexlbIy to the Consti-
tuition and exercise no doubtful powers
Our great birth-right is the constitution,
rand we can never consent TO barter il for
a mess Of potage in the shape OF public
! land. Virginia has ever held that Con-
gress has no right 20 disturb the proceeds
OF the sales OF the public lands, or the
/ lands ambng the States.
But this resolution was not originated

Tosatofy 10 the dignity Of airy great party.

What relation can there possibly be be.
tween the election Of a President Of the
United States and the taxes Of Virginia
he craftsman of the platform knew
that The assessments under the hew tax
bill would greatly increase the taxes, which
would give great deal Of dissatisfaction
in the State, and he hoped by boldly charg
ing the responsibility upon the Democrat

But, these partizans will again find that
the. have presumed too much upon the
ignorance Of the people. 1t is all a mis-
take to suppose that thew cannot see
through such unfair ttiakery.
This resolution is designed for buncomb
to be used in the<upder cuerent, and iii
bt greatly relied upon. The vociefous
cheers for Sam have lost their charm, and
there must needs be some other subterfuee
10 catch the unstable.
va. Democrats, beware! Turn to our own
experience and observation in tins county,
and you will soon be able to decide
whether the President of The X. N. order

Dismissal of Mr.. Cramnfnn

1t will be remembered, that pending
the war between Russia and the allies,
England aud Ffance,) England through
the agency of her minister and several of
her consus IN this country. devised ar
ingenious plan BY which TO raise volun-
teers for the British army in the Crimea
within the limits of the United States in
violation Of our neutrality laws. The
scheme. though carefully disguised was
discovered by the officers of our govern
ment, and those offenders not exempted
by their official stations were arraigned
before the courts OF the countr, and pros
eeuted for the offence. The gross insult
laws by the agents OF the British Govern
menl became the subject of official cor
respondence and explanation between the
two governments. The British Govern
meut denied any intention TO insult the
United States. Our government proved
conclusiveIy that Mr.. CHAMPION and his
assistants had violated our laws, and The
sealthv and clandestine manner of con-
Quoting their enls,ments proved that they
Knew that they were violating the laws
o. The United States and sought 10 evade
detection. The British Government re-
fused TO credit the evidence adduced bv
the Unlted States, aud relied upon the de-
mails of the offenders. The United States
havirg proved that her laws were infiing-
ed and her honor violated, demanded an
apology. The British Government ex-
pressed regret that our laws were in
finged but refused to withdraw their
Minister. Mr.. Champion, the chief often
der, being exempt from personal punish
ment BY International law, in consequence
OF his Office o. Minister to this country,
having rendered himself offensive and
unacceptable to our government, has been
formally dismissed
The last corr espondehce upon this sub.
ject between the two governments is very
temperate aud courteous; but the dismissal
of the British Minister, with his accom-
piices aud his prompt departure, boae
more decided action. either tor peace or
war. What the fnal result will be, is
difficult TO form even a probable conjecture.
though we suppose, dismi.sion of our Mn
lister, Mr.. Dallas will Immediately foiIo
by way Of retaliation, and probably d.
plomatic intercourse will be suspended for
a while, until both pa,tes can fully count
the costs oil war and take spell of pout-
Jog
The stubbornness with winch England
adheres 10 her pretenIions in Central
America, is more indicative OF purpose
on her par: OF iai>ing a serious difficulty
with his county than The Crsmplon affair.
The iptttesls OF the United States ate so
deeply involved in the ls,hmus question
thai they cannot ,elinquish ,neir rights or
abandon Their position, without seriously
impai,ing The unity Of the county and lis
national prosperity.
