Hail hGly Sabbath brightest, best
Of all the days with which we're blest:
True earnest of eternal rest,
Made sacred by Divine behest-
Welcome, thrice welcome, heavily guest!
At thy approach, mankind surcease
To work for worldly wealth's Increase
The plodding plowman quits the field,
The merchant and mechanic yield
And all around is rest and peace.
At thy approach, the pious feel
An earnest of Faiths beau ideal
OF heavenly bliss-free from the strife
And corking cares of busy life,
With God communing, pleasures real.
IT'S sweet to see thy rosy light
Dispell the sombre shades of night,
And, while bright orient beauties blush,
Enjoy the holy, heavily hush,
In meditation's pure delight.
IT'S sweet to hear the mellow chime
Of solemn church-bells tell the time
For public worship, and behold
Hundreds, by Gospel-charms centrolPd,
Meet in Gods house, in awe sublime.
Then happy, heaven-born Hope serene
Bends her bright iris DER the scene,
While Faith and Love Divine impart
A warmth to every pious heart,
And shed holy sheen.
Sweet, sacred Sabbath brightest, best
Of all the days with which we're blest:
True earnest of eternal rest,
Made sacred by Divine behest-
Welcome, thrice welcome, heavily guest

crave the right to maintain one OF these trea-

for Il moment by a man Of moderate means
aud so the bellies languish and sigh for atIen-

truth and beauty of Thompsons oft quoted

they will find the real secret of their attrac-

Price of Grain and Flour.

We notice by the Cincinnati Papers that
the Flour market has become languid.-
There have been but few sales at ST. with
very limited demand, owing to the for
eign news by the last arrivals. Wheat is
dull at 81 40 a. $l,45. Corn at SO cts.
with more sellers than buyers. Oats
scarce and in demand at 81 "a 80 cts.-
In our own home market, Flour is quoted
at $7,75; Wheat 1926; Corn 25; and
Oats at 25 cts, with very few sales. This
great difference in the prices Of these lea
ding articles between Cinncinati and Jack
son, is certainly too great. The great de-
mand for these articles in that city, should
increase the price to greater extent over
our market; but it does not. We canno
conceive why it is, that Flour is held a
70 cts in Jackson over the market Of Gin
cianati; if there are any that can solve this
query, We hope it will be done.

what Produced tho strong Anti.
Slavery SOntimcMIs-sA South.
Rrn NiaNU.


The Nashville Patriot. in noticing the
cause Of the present anli.slavery senti-
ment in the North, shows that sensible
men in the South hold the Northern
dough.faces responsible for the violation
Of Northern compacts, and the conse
quenl agitation of the slavery question
We copy the following from that paper OIL
the 9th inst:
The Democratic party in 1852, resolv'
ed to "resist all attempts at renewing in
Congress or out Of it, the agitation on the
slavery question, under whatever shape
or color The attempt might be made" bu'
disregarding its pledge as it had disre
garded all others that stood in the way
ofits intrigues, one Of Its leaders, through
the medium Of the Kansas Nebraska bill,
renewed the agitation OF slavery by pro-
viding for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, which had been regarded as a
most patriotic settlement by almost all
the great statesmen Of the country, North
and South, irrespective Of party.

the North as of bad faith and dishonora'

like ol which had never characterized any
former sectional struggle. Before lis si

oflhe Democracy humbled itself into The
dust. The party, as the Charleston ~: '1-"
cury confesses, came out Of the contes
shorn Of its strength, and thoroughly de
nationalized. 1t was in vain that Pres.
dent Pierce declared that it was the in
tention Of the bill to prevent the extension
of slavery; that Mr.. Douglass announced
that it was proposition for freedom. ant

Grauger's Commercial College.

The advertisement of this Institution
will be found in our advertising columns
Among the many testimonials in favor Of
this Institution, we give the following from
the :" Ohio State Jou nal" which speaks
for itself:
GRANGER's COMMERCIAL COLLEGE. We
take great pleasure in again calling the at
tantion Of our readers to the advertisement
of this excellent Institution. Less than q
year ago, Mr., Granger came to this city,
a comparative stranger, and, in few
months, by energy and peculiar adapta.
ton for this service, he has built up a
Commercial College that has no superior,
and few equals in the Union, We thought
it hazardous experiment, at the same time,
we felt that it was of the first Importance
to the great mercantile interests of Central
Ohio to have such an Institution located
at the Capital. We have seen other collie
ges built up among us, by years Of labor,
and the expenditure of from twenty to sew
enty-6ve thousand dollars of capital, the
great mass of which has come from the
pockets of our citizens as a free will offer
ing to tho public good. Mr. Granger,
through his college, will annually bring to
our city more scholars than either of the
colleges above referred to, and so far as the
presence of students is an advantage, re-
ally benefits our city more than either of
them. Yet, he has asked for no money
by way of donation. He has established
an institution second 10 none in extent
and convenience of accommodations
Every department is fitted up in the most
substantial and convenient style. His
rooms are centrally located, and his assist
ants are peculiarly qualified for their posts.
Mr.. Granger has had that long training
in the counting-rooms Of Banks and heavy
commercial houses which is so essential
to enable a teacher to give a PRACTICAL ed
ucatton to a student, This is the great
preemnence of his school. The discipline
for the COUNTING RooM is most thorough
and complete.
Several lectures by eminent persons
will be delivered before the School during
the winter, In the business department,
Mr.. J. R. Armstrong will be found very
acceptable. In short, here is a CONNER
cial School of the highest character. with
all the facilities for thorough mercantile
education, and we trust it will continue to
meet with the liberal patronage which its
merits entitle it to receive. For terms, re-
concentrations, &c., see the advertise.
ment in another column.

majority over Bashford is only l57.-
That was made up in part as follows:
When it was found that Barstow need

with 81 majority for Barstow. There

a supplementary return from Gllberts
