A Practical Sermon few Sun
days since a certain highly-popnlaI
and talented clergyman of the Meth.
odist church read 10 his congregation
the second chapter OF Paul's Epistle
to the Ephesians, the 18th verse,
which is as follows:
"Now, therefore, we are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints, and Of the
household of God"
After reading this verse, he delib-
erately raised his eyes to the con.
gregation. and remarked: "My dear
hearers, ST. Paul was not a know
nothing! and, without another word
Of comment, went on with his read
ing. The reverend gentleman, though
opposed to making political remarks
in the pulpit, could not let slip so ia
vorable an opportunity Of" defining"
st. Paul's position on Hindooism.-

Fayetteville Female Academy.

The next session of this excellent
Institution will commence on the first
Monday of February, 1856, under
the supervision of Dir. z. L. Sagyer,
Principal; Mrs. SasCyer and Mrs. NJ
Ewen, Assistants, and Mr.. George W.
SJmous, Professor Of Music. The
long experience Of Mr. S. aud his CO.
laborers, and their high moral and In
tellectual attachments, give them a
qualification for the instruction of
young ladies, not surpassed by any
in the State. They are exerting their
abilities to explode the absurd system
of teaching young ladies the intricate
branches Of science in a few months,
and at the end of an inconceivably
short time, to lead them through (gal-
lopade-like) all the branches usually
taught in female schools, and intro
duce them to society as intellectual
luminaries. Such can be detected in
halfhour's conversation. Like me-
teors, they dash rapidly through, and
are extinguished as soon.
The course of study in the Fay.
etteville Female Academy, is as ex.
tensive as any other female school il
the State, and to be entitled to gradu.
alton, the young ladies are required to
possess a more thorough knowledge
! Of the various branches, than is usua
for classes in many schools of oul
neighboring towns. The general sat
isfaction expressed by the patrons O
the school, is sufficient guarantee tc
others to send their daughters. There
is no good reason why Lincoln county
should not have good school at Fay
etteville. The location is pleasant
boarding cheap, and the town gene
rally healthy. True, we have hat
some sickness this winter, but mo-
more than other parts of the country
and other towns. Disease is waited
on every breeze, and turks in every
flower, and we would be blessed more
than other towns, if we were never Wis
tied by sickness. But the health O
the place is vastly improving, and al
may now send their daughters t.
school with safety. The school mum
bered the past session about 115 o.
Il20 pupils. We must elicit for this
Institution the interest Of the whole
county, for it belongs as much to eve.
ry part of Lincoln as to any particu
lar section; and all should be interest
ed in educating their daughters, as
It's woman that gives force and effeci
to whatever is virtuous and good.

Look Ont for C6mterfeits The

Memphis Wig Of The 18th says:
Look out for counterfeit notes on
the Southern Bank Of Kentucky,
Bank of IIonton, and 50 bills On the
Exchange bank of Murlreesboro,
Tenn, as attempts are being made
daily to pass off a large amount Of
these notes. Several of them have
been thrown out by the brokers with
in the past few days. Itwould be
well for persons not familiar with the
genuine note to throw out all that
are offered on these banks, in order
to guard against being taken in.

THE usURY LAWS.

ry laws, which has been for some !
time discussed throughout the coun-
try, is being agitsted in several State
Legislatures. In the South Carolina
Legislature the subject is receiving
earnest attention, and, we see it stated,
will probably be brought to final
issue at the present session. In the
Legislature of our own State, bill
has passed the Senate, authorizing
conventional rate of interest of ten
per cent, but leaving the present legal
rate Of interest-six per cent-to
stand in the absence of any agree
ment between the parties to a contract.
The result in the House is considered
extremely doubtful. "A CORES
pondent of a Nashville paper-@A
Working Man''-takes the following
plain view of such a law
CONVENTIONAL RATE OF INTEREST
We often hear it said thai Tennessee
possesses as many,if not more, local
advantages than any other State in
the Union. Her mineral resources
are not excelled. Her water power
for propelIing machinery will compare
favorably with any other State. Her
timber for building purposes is equal
to any. Her rock and marble for
stability and beauty are unsurpassed.
Her genial climate gives her many adj
vantages not possessed by any other
portion of the world. Her rivers, for
nayigable purposes, are better than
those of many of her sister States.
Her coal beds are inexhaustible.
J. Now. sir, / would ask the question,
, why it is that we are fettered with
laws that are oppressive in their char
aeter upon the community, and
injurious to the development OF
! these wonderful resources? One OF
, these laws is the present law rsgu-
, ating the rate Of interest. As that
law now stands, no man can legally
, loan his money for more than 6 per
cent, without paying a heavy tax OF
, fine. This very law, to my knowl-
: edge, has driven from our city over
eight hundred thousand dollars, and
from the best information | have, at
, least one million more from the State.
This money is carried to other States
! where laws are more equal and just
, Not only so, but as the law now is
it opens a floOd-gate for thieving and
swindling. 1t is lawful for man to
buy note for 30 per cent. less than
it calls for; but if he loans his money
for more than s per cent, be has to
pay taxes or fine. The people ask
, at the hands of the present legisla.

If our legislative bodies would
spend portion of their time in enact

! men punctual to their contracts, con-
fidence would exist, and men who
want to borrow money could get il

were. Our legislatures have been
