Scmbling Observation-Disclosures meetings were
held at which the affairs of the Conyocation

necessary duties Of the ministry and the re-

counsel (of Clergy and I.aity) upon Church
matters is a rare thing in many Parishes
There is hardly any thing that can cheer the
heart of the faithful minister of Christ more
than the hearty appreciation ofhis labors, and
the earnest cooperation both by counsel and
action, of those over whom he watches, as
one that must give the account of his steward

their neglect aud cold indifference wiring the
heart of their faithful Pastor. Their cheerful
acquaintance in his labors and generous con-

been pleasant and agreeable to us.

ALMOST GIVING IT UP.-Thc Buchanan or
gans make loud boasts of what they call the
great strength of their candidate in the nom
Slavcholding States, but their boasts are not
less vain and empty than noisy. 1t is we'll
understood by all intelligent men in the free
States that Buchanan's strength there amounts
to nothing, and all wcll-informed politicians
throughout the country understand the same
important fact.
Gov. Brown, one of the L. S. Senators from
Mississippi, is among the shrewdest and most
active and jealous of the Democratic politi.
clans of the South. lie has been among the
chief directors and agents of all the Demo-
cratic movements at Washington city designed

vcmbcr Well. we have just read letter adj
dressed by him on the 18th ult to the editor
of the Holly Springs Democrat in his own
State. In that letter he confcsses his fears
that Mr.. Buchanan uil not get a single non
slncehotting State erccw California, and actually
acknowledges that The Democrats give up Maine
Nrm Hampshire, Termont, massachusetts,,
Rhodc isaad, Connecticut, New York, Della

We think that Gov. Brown and the rest of
the active Democratic operatives at the seat
ofgovcrnmcnt may well give up also Pennsyl-
vania New Jersey. Illinois, and Indiana, the
only mons lavciiolding States that they pro-
fcss to have hope of, for the chances are

Gently manufactured rails, naturally attributable
to the attempts made by companies to reduce
the price, have attracted attention both i'll Eng
land and the United States, aud have led 10 some
practical aud scientific inquiries. On the first in
trnduction of railroads, it was confidently assert
ed that The rails would last for infinite periods:
but experience soon demonstrated that railway
hars were subject to lamiation and dlsintegraton
from the repeated rolling of heavy loads. Their
duration, in some instances. has not exceeded
two or three years; and on some of the earliest
constructed lines in England the rail, have been
changed twice, three times since their
opening. Where the conditions are favorable,
and the hars themselves perfectly sound. it is be
heved that the traffic which rails of ordinary
qnnIiiy are capable of bea,ing, will not fall short
of the large figure of twenty millions OF tons.
