[CoMMUNICATED.1

Mr.. EDITOR: A communication appear
ed in recent issue of the Episcopal Recor-
der, paper published out of the Diocese OF
Maryland, detailing the dimensions of a
church to be built upon the ruins of Christ
Church, Commonly called Akkekeek, St.
Johns Parish, Prince Georges county, re-
Gently destroyed by fire. The fact of the
publication at a distance, and in a paper that
has an extremely limited circulation in the
Parish, (if, indeed, two or three subscrip-
tons can be called circulation, would i'm
ply consciousness on the writer's part, that
either it would find more congenial vel
come abroad, or that it would require more
presum ption than he-possessed to arraign at
home plan adopted by the Vestry That
it did receive an exultant reception is exhi-
bited in the appended notice of the Editors,
who, it strikes US, (though we may be
wrong,) in their condemnation of the plan
of church" uses language of levity and
ridicule beneath the dignity and Importance
Of the subject matter But, however, alb
stracting all idea of ''church' and consid-
ering ''taste" as distinct and substantive
notion, are there not more efectual means
of combating and improving it than such as
these? But even such as these are predi-
Gated upon false data.
He who communicated them, since he
writes of rupture" Git might be slight
rupture" attempted by himself, ought to
have been more conversant with the facts,
for the correct information of the religious
public and his own accuracy. We commend
to him new admeasurement and reperu-
sal of the details.
For instance, instead of :'building six
teen feet by twelve at the east end" an arch
fourteen feet in width by twelve deep, con-
tanning the chancel, pulpit and reading desk.
Again, ''The pews to have yellow pine backs
and black walnut ends, capped with wild
cherry or mahogany" whereas, the backs
and ends yellow pine, with walnut PANELS
and capped with walnut. Again, 1.-The
gallery front to be panneled work-one pan
mel black walnut, the other yellow pine -
whereas, the PANELS are all of black walnut.
Again, ''The old church was filled up in the
good old fashion of the Low-C Church style
The new will take the opppoite direction and
be filled up according to the style of the
party" To enter into an ar
gument upon the above, whether Low CT
High-Church style has been adopted, would
exceed the limits Of this communication
But will merely state now, that in draw
ing up the plan for the above church,
High or Church style" never entered
into the minds Of those who designed; but
the main and only desire was room, conve-
nience and architectural TASTE
Thus it will be seen that 'sPAx" was in
correct in his communication, and when we
reflect upon the irritation and annoyance
that is engendered by designed misrepresen-
tation, we think that he who assumes the
nom de plume Of 'PAx" should sedulous-
ly preserve himself from all liability to mis-
apprehension, inadvertance and carelesness,
which are in themselves very prolific sour
ces of disturbance Of the peace.

Madison, Wisconsin, must be pleasant
place to live in. It is stated in the paper
published there, that young man was at
attacked by wolf while passing through
the street, and, but for his presence of mind
in drawing his knife and stabbing it, he
would have been killed. The same animal
had attacked another man the previous even
ing.

The Louisville Democrat says, duel be-
tween two ladies is on the tapis in that city.
A formal challenge is known to have been
passed and accepted, though the weapons
and distance have not been named AS
will be readily imagined, ''gentleman' is
at the bottom Of the quarrel. After all,
we don't know but the ladies have as much
right to make fools Of themselves as the
lords of creation.

nett. Complete in two large duodecimo

Price ST. Mr. Bennett is the author of a
number of popular stories, some of which
doubtless our readers have perused with
a high degree of pleasure. Here is what
a celebrated critic says Of the Border Rover
cit is one Of Emerson Benefits best pro-
auctions, and will be sure to delight all read
crs who were pleased with the Prairie Flow
err and Clara Moreland, to which it may be
considered mpanion-the scenes and in
cidents being something similar, and yet the
story totally unlike either of the others
The scene of the Border Rover is in the
Territory of Kansas, beginning at Indepen-
dence, Missouri, and extending all over the
plains or prairies to the Rocky Mountains.
It is full Of thrilling adventure and hair
breadth escapes, love, romance and humor,
and the characters are trappers, traders,
hunters, travellers, guides, Indians, &c.,
&c. * y There are doubtless many
writer's who excel him in some minor points,
but taken as whole, his works are unrival-
led on this side of the Atlantic"

Hume came to his death by ball fired from
a pistol by Colonel Lee.
During the evening an investigation was
held before Justices Drury and John D.
Clark, at the close of which Col. Lee was
admitted to bail in a sum of 5000. I un-
derstand Mr.. T. Coghan and Mr. S. S. Par
ker are the sureties.
The remains of the lamented deceased
were, between four and five o'clock, taken
in charge by the mayor and committee from
Alexandria, and conveyed to that city, which
under circumstances SO pleasurable, he left
on Friday afternoon
1t is stated that during Saturday after
noon the porte-monnoie which Col. Lee lost
was returned to him by highly respectable
citizen of Georgetown. IN aohose pocket some
odroit ctNian had put 1t after ri17ing 1t of
ats contents. One or two other gentlemen
who lost porte-monnoies at the levee have
had them returned by neighbors and friends,
far above all suspicion, under similar cir
cumstances
BUSINESS OF BALTIMORE will be gra-
tifying to every, Marylander to hear of the
Increasing prosperity of the great CONNER
cial metropolis of our State. The american
says:
1.-The Spring business of our city is open
ing with very encouraging aspect. Our
railroads, especially the Baltimore and Ohio,
are doing very heavy business, and the
arrivals of merchants from the South and
West are daily on the increase The at
fractions at Washington this week has
brought an unusual accession of strangers
this way, many of whom are business men
who after witnessing the Inauguration will
attend to their Spring purchases The
grain trade has also revived and the trans
actions at the Corn EXCHANGE last week,
were large. Perhaps at no anterior time
has QUE Bay and coasting trade been larger
Or more active. All the regular lines run
ming out of the port are fully occupied and
find the fullest exercise Of all their facili-
ties taxed for the conveyance of the immense
amounts of freight demanding transporta-
ton. Last year was one of the best bust
ness periods ever enjoyed in Baltimore, but
from present indications the present will
surpass it,

ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer says: ut is now understood that
the Supreme Court will give it's decision in
the famous bred Scott case some time this
week There is no doubt that it has been
ready for some time, but is supposed to he
of such character that it was deemed ad
visable to reserve its premulgation until the
close of Congress, lest, in the present con-
struction of that body, it might impede or
otherwise influence legislation.

TERRIBLE FAMINE IN NoRwAY.-Hun-
fdreds Dying Doizy.-The English papers
have accounts from Norway, which give a
painful picture of the suffering of the inhab-
itants Of Lapland and Finmark, bordering
on the North Cape of Norway Owing to
a failure Of the crops, the inhabitants are in
a state Of starvation.
Hundreds are dying daily, and tie lily
ing are compelled to subsist as they best
can, on the bark Of trees, ground and cook
ed with oats. In order to alleviate these
suferings charitable committees have been
organized on the opposite coasts of the Gulf
of Bothnia to collect contributions in kind,
such as corn, flour, vegetables and spirits,
which will be conveyed to them across the
ice in sledges. AS an addition to the suf-
fering of these poor creatures, the cold is of
severity rarely experienced even in these
ice-bound countries"

A SOUTHERN US1yERs1rY.-A yieore

A SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY vigorous
movement is now being made in the South
ern State originating, it is said, with Bish-
OPP Polk, of Louisiana, for the establishment
ola University upon most liberal basis. It
is proposed that no actual steps in the ex-
penditure of money shall be taken until the
sum of five hundred thousand dollars shall
have been secured. Others argue that at
least million of dollars can be obtained:-
The project has met with favor in eight of
the Southern States, and it is thought that
there will be no difficulty in procuring what
ever funds may be required.

FROM WASHINGTON TERRITORY = We
have received from this far-of Territory a
letter from gentleman who went from this
county a few years since. He occupies the
place Of Chaplain at Fort steilacoom, at
which place his letter was dated on the Oath
of December last. We are pleased to learn
that ''there has been no depreciation on the
whites within the bounds Of the Puget Sound
military district since last March, and it is
gratifying to add, none is expected. Lieut..
Col. Casey has done all that could be done
and has most successfully accomplished the
protection Of the settlements. We regret
that his feeble state of health compells him
to ask for sick leave for few months"

The House of Representatives on Friday
resumed the consideration of the Investiga-
ton Committee on the charges of corruption
alleged against Mr.. Gilbert, of New York.
The House having refused to proceed to
the formal trial of the accused, thus
lntinlating its intention to act upon the
report Of the Committee without further in
vestigation, Mr.. Gilbert after avowing his
innocence and charging the House with
gross injustice i'll refusing him the advan-
tage of public trial, annouced that he had
resigned his seat. The resolutions of the
Committee in reference to his case were
then laid upon the table. Mr.. Matteson,
of New York, another of the accused par
ties, also addressed the House, avowing his
innocence, and for the same reasons adduc-
ed by Mr.. Gilbert, resigned his seat. The
House, however, proceeded to the consider
etion of the resolutions Of che Committee in
his case, passing the first, censuring him for
corrupt conduct, and laying the second
which called for his expulsion, upon the ia
ble Mr.. Welsh's case was dismissed for
want Of evidence.
Mr.. Edwards case was taken up on Sa-
turday, when he also made statement, de-
claring his innocence of the charges prefer
red against him, and resigned his seat, and
the case was laid upon the table. The re-
solution for the expulsion Of Mr.. Simonton,
the reporter, was then taken up, and an a.
mendment moved, including the expulsion
of Mr.. Triplett, another reporter, and adopt
ed.
The bill to protect the people against cor
rupt and secret Influences in matters of leg
islation, also reported by this committee,
was laid upon the table The reports, re-
solutions, and bills of the select committee
have now been disposed Of, having resulted
in the resignation of three of the accused
members. Messrs Gilbert, Matteson and
Edwards, the virtual acquittal of the fourth,
Mr.. Welch, and the expulsion Of two news
paper reporters.
