Mr.. WoRDEN, of the LeeOiSJHrg Chronj-

says:
Col. Best was unable to take an active
part in the proceedings, but after the final
adjournment threw open his house, (upon
which the American Flag had been dis
played during the day. for all the members,
who repaired thither, and were beautifully
entertained with all manner of creature
comforts-music from Stoes' Silver Cornet
Band-and toasts, short speeches, and
good d-humored repartees. Not a discordant
note was heard during the day or evening;
no political or personal thoughts obtruded;
and stranger would have supposed that, if
not natural brothers, we were all at least
Of one party stripe.
Mr.. Cox took "vew" of as many of

the lever which is able to elevate the low.
est strata Of society,
We may, through the agency of lis
mental training, study undorstandingly the
mighty laws that govern the universe,
contemplate the sublimity, admire the in.
genuity and wisdom displayed in 'ho COM
plicatcd mechanism of all nature, and yet
not render becoming gratitude and obodi-
crcc to the great Author; not even obey
the higher impulses Of his nature. Every
age has brought forth intellectual giants,
yet by carefully porusing their Biographies
and noting the influence each oxorted over
their respective communities. We find
that those who made moral culture the
leading object of life, far surpassed in
every respect as philanthropists, philoso-
piers and statesmen, their competitors who
considered mental ahd physical develop
ment NEST essential.
But it is not only conducive to our in-
dividual and social happiness, but it gives
fresh impulse to civilization, and is most
essential to our national prosperity. The
civilization and social happiness of every
nation ever since permanent government
were first acknowledged among men, have
been in proportion to the moral virtues Of
the people. The prosperity of ancient
Greece and Rome was limited in the same
.Atio to their principles Of justice and vir-
tue, although their theology was mere
mythology, yet as long as their wisest
philosophers and best instructors, taught
these principles of virtue from experience
and the light of reason, and the people
submitted and put those virtues to practice,
50 long they advanced in civilization and
power, until they reached the meridian of
their glory,..anl became bright stars in The
galaxy of nations.
Encourage moral culture everywhere, in
private and public, moral institutions in
particular, and especially the Sabbath
School cause, for it is doing, and has ac.
complishcd, more good, to prevent and
subduo crime, vice and dissipation in the
young and rising generation, than all the
moralists and philanthropiats have done
since the Christian Era, to redeem them
when fallen into the depths of moral de-
gradation It is the nursery of the church,
the forcrunncr Of the Gospel, the mighty
linz i'll the Gospel chain which is to bind
Satan, to make preparation for the usher
ing il oil the millennium of righteousness
and peace.

Suicide Of Senator Rusk.

The painful intelligence which flashed
over the tolegraphic wires to al parts of
the United States, on Tuesday last, announ
cing the death of Gen. Thomas j. Rusk,
of Tcxos, by his own hand, created pro-
found sensation. We are not in possession
of the particulars which led to the termi'
nation ofthe useful career of so distinguished
a gentleman, but rumOr with her thousand
tongues, intimales that it was probably the
result Of depression of spirits, brought on
by protlactcd indisposition. Gen. RusL
was well known as Senator in Congress
from Texas, and is identified with the
history of that State, His courage, inAu
ence, arm and sword aided her battles Will!
struggling for independence, and when !
was achieved, his counsel was required il
