toasts being completed, then came short, eio
quent, congratulatory, speech from the chair,
briefly mentioning the prosperous state OF their
affairs, stating in round numbers the amount OF
aid given to the assistance of the great work
now carried on by the vigorous agitator; to the
support of the sick to the afflicted priesthood
and to various other institutions. Next, the
chair called upon the general secretary to read
his annual report This document gives glow
ing account of the state of affairs, and stated Sc
riatim the funds arising from all sources to the
Corporation" as well as the sums expended in
maintaining the various schools, as they were
termed. These schools had each secretary pre-
sent, who, on being called upon, read his report,
and made verbal statement as to his inspection
of matters during the year just completed. The
names of few of these may suffice for the pre-
sent, as being sufficiently Indicative OF their ma
ture and objects There was first the report OF
the He'll Committee, which detailed the state OF
affairs in these institutions, and mentioned, in
the language of the initiated, how many have
managed to escape the fangs of the law, and how
many had been scuttled of those started by gam
blers who were not of the corporation" &c.

fogs occur mainly in the month Of November

which happened on the 29th ult, and caused the
loss of at least two lives The great metropolis
was enveloped in fog so dense that at ten o.
clock in the morning the traffic on the river was
stoppcd. and on different streets and railways
collisions were numerous. On the London and
South Western Railway, signalman, endeavor-
ing to signal the express train was in the act OF
crossing the track, when the engine OF the train
struck him on the lower part Of the abdomen,
hurled him over the rails, and his body was then

employed near the Wandsworth station in cross
ing the rails to display the signals, not hearing
the train approaching, was knocked down and
cut in twain. The guards Of the different lines
described the fog as being the thickest they have
witnessed for many years; and even at Putney,
with the aid of the powerful lamps used on the
railroad carriages, they were unable to find their
road back to the station. 1t was reported that

~ The Editor Of The Bu9le.
DEAR SIR: Wishing to contribute q note for the
Bugle, and for tue benefit of its numerous read
ors, ! take the liberty of saying, that the cause of
freedom and humanity in this vicinity is onward
and upward. The friends of freedom are stimula-
lated to keep their camp fires burning, and their
beacon light elevated high, to guide the wanderer
90 their camp.
Our worthy and much esteemed friend Henry c.
Wright, arrived among US on the % and tarried
with US till the 25th l%ecturing on the all important
subject Of the supremacy of man over all his in
eidents. lie handled the subject in a mastery
manner. regarding man as the GROWING excellence
Of the Creators works, and therefore to be held
sacred above all things else on earth. Intemper-
ance. War, Slavery, G~overnments,C Churches, creeds
and the Bible. all were presented for man to sit in
judgement upon. Henry G. Wright is a clear
thinker, n logical reasoner, works by the square
rule, and hews to the line. lie is kind and SYM
pathetic, pointing to Jesus as a pattern of nonresis-
tance and forgiveness. We shall ever cherish the
remembrance of Mr.. Wright and his doctrines.
His lectures have been to us as good news from a
far county. They have done us good.
200 Yours truly,
o. D. WADE.

VIRGINIA BREEDING.

There are two kinds of breeding in the odd
Duminiun"-one on which she particularly brides
herself, known there, as elsewhere, as yo0d-breed.
ing; and the other, on which she does not so much
pride herself rs merely live upon, Is chil9-breed,
inc for market. OF the former sort we have had
lately two notable instances, the more striking
tbat they inevitably remind us of the latter, which
il is to be supposed, n Virginia gentleman would
be glad to keep out of mind.
The London correspondent Of the New York
Herald, in q letter by the last steamer, tells the
following story:
"a good joke of our Minister at Paris, Mr.. Ma
son, has come over here. lie was at a ICourt ball
lately Mt the Tuileries, and his eye happened to
light on the Charge d'Afairs Of Solouque in
France, a fne-looking black. Some one, observing
his steady gaze, said, We'll, Mr.. Mason, what do
you think Of yonder blackee in his embroidered
coat2' Think. " replied MIR. Mason, still regard
ing the negro with the eye of q connoisseur, why,
clothes and all, | think that fellow is worth a
thousand dollars This is old Virginny' all over
and everybody is laughing ut the bon mot"
Perhaps the story is true; and if it be, ii only
proves that a slaveholding Republic is, properly
enough, represented at q foreign court by u brute
and q blackguhrd.
Mr.. Wise, the Governor of Va, has lately writ
ten n letter on some political question-no matter
what-which tppears in the same number Of thu
Herald with the letter from which the above il
quoted. To illustrate something, he thus express
es himself:
"All nature abhors vacuums and mongrels; anC
50 do conscientious, conservative and Constitution
loving Wings of Virginia. They can put up bet
ter with pure Africans-wool, fiat nose, odor, cbon
skin and gizzard, foot and all-better than the,
can bear that cross Of the Caucasian and cuff
which you call n mulatto !"
Considering who are the fathers Of mulattoes
and considering the old prejudice which asks som,
show of dignity in Governors and ambassadors
and the old rule Of good breeding, that a guest il
insulting a fellow-guest, insults his host, these tw,
specimens of Southern manners should make u
proud Of our dignitaries both at home and abroad

DEATH OF JESSE M'BRIDE.

Rev. Jesse Mcbride, died at Leoni, Michigan,
on the ODD Of February.
The Wesleyan says of Him:
His sickness was protractcd and severe, but
borne with marked patience and resignation. The
seeds Of his disease were sown during his stay in
North Carolina. While there he was taken with a
severe attack Of Cholera Mortus, which settled in
to Chronic Dysentery. At times since that he
seemed to all human appearance to be quite well
and enjoyed prospects Of a long life. Attacks
however became more frequent. A liste over a
year since, his disease became more threatening,
but his earnest desire to labor in the cause of God
and for the overthrow Of slavery, led him to hope
for life and q recovery Of health. A wise Proyi'
dence however has ordered otherwise and he yield
ed with entire submission. l visited him frequent
~ during his illness and found him ever happy ii
God, and expressing an earnest desire to do and
suffer his will. lie wished all his friends to be as
sured of the fact that he obtained a complete vic
tory over all fear Of death and the grave. Tit
Lord was his light and his salvation. He ha,
gono from labor to reward in the prime of life
being only "a years of age, but the Lord doetl
right in all things. j. NJ.
