not be the Ease if about one fourth, CT
near that proportion should be owned by
the business men of Town. The inter
est of the citizens and the capitalists
would then be equal. Mr.. Noble has
tried to get the encouragement which
they have asked. To make it perfectly
safe to the citizens he proposes that a
subscription to the Stock be taken up
here to The amount of $4,000, one hdL
payable in sir months and the residQe in
one year from the time Gas shall first be
lighted m oar Streets. This shows his
sincerity, as well as the sincerity of the
men who propose TO back him in the en-
terprise.
He also asks that the citizens come
forward and agree to take and use the
Gas. Some with whom he talked hest
tated about this matter. He has made
his proposition, has talked with our CHI
zens, and it is now for them deliberate
and act. He thought they did not talk
much encouragement and has gone away,
perfectly willing that they should do
better if they could.
Itis 10 be hoped that after due reflection
they will consider well of the proposition,
call him back, raise the subscription re-
CURED. and give him the contract to 60
on with the work.
If this can be done, by or before the
18Th Of June, he could order his ma
chinery, so as TO have it here by the
18th of August, which would be as early
as he could be ready for it, and he could
then have Gas burning here in the latter
part of Sept. or fore part of October.
The Pipes could be here as sOon or

stone work, excavation for tank and
pipes. and the putting up of Gas Fix.
lures could go on as soon as workmen
could be employed and materials gath
cred, and the work woull be speedily
under way.
For one l would be glad 10 see a

could be raised upon the terms he has

The Presbyterian General Assembly.

tOAAdu OC4lCLdA hSbC1nUll.
This body now in session at Cleveland,
is composed Of that division of The Pres
byterian Church, known as New School.
1t is almost certain that during this ses-
sion, the future action of the General
Assembly, in reference 10 slavery, will
be determined. Its progress therefore
viii be noticed with great Interest by the
people at large. The L~eadersays:
Some of the most prominent minister
ial defenders Of the institution (among
whome is DIR. Ross. who, in a recent let.
ter TO Rev. Albert Barnes, declared
Slavery 10 be as much an institution of
God as the institution of marriage) are
here, and we are reliably informed deter
mined not to ''bate an inch'' of their re.
voting position. On the other hand, the
very best talent and worth of the North
ern wing Of the Church are present,
equally determined to meet the question
as men who fear God and hate sin should
meet it. Among them are men of shin
ing ability, and unshrinking integrity,
who have girded themselves for the con
test, and from whom we have the high
est expectations. We are informed that
it is the determination Of the Southern
ers to insist that the question of Slavery
shall be now and hereafter ''let alone"
and unless such assuI ance is given them,
to dissOlUe tie connection. That the North
ern Division will utterly repel the iufa-
nous proposition, and refuse to be thus
gagged and stulrifed, We feel certain -
The debate will be highly interesting,
and we shall keep our readers in full
possession Of the particulars as they
iranspire.

A Dreadful Slaughter among the Cafres.

OASoNAui HlSA dAuOlS L1S CduESS.
One of the London papers contains an
account of a terrible slaughter among
the Caffres, in which no less than thirty
thousand human beings perishied. 1t
is stated that disturbances of a most san
culinary character recently took place
among the Zuius. These distuI Dances
were caused by a contest bet Seen Ketch-
wya and Umbulazi, two sons of The para
mount Chief Pands. On the 81 Deem
Der the latter was defeated with immense
slaughter. The victorious Ketchwya, a
lad of nineteen, after the battle, divided
his army into tree sections, and with
these secured the county in all direc-
tioss, putting to death not only his en-
emies hut ali neutral or doubtful subjects
who came in his way. He, however,
kept clear of the vicinity of Panda, who,
by the latest intelligence, was raising an
army in defence Of his throne. 1t is said
that the number OF persons slaughtered
by the yictors must have been upwards
Of 80, 600. Umbulazi was put TO death
with the utmost barbarity, having been
skinned alive. The most careful calcu-
lalions (says the Notal Mercury of Jan.
LIST formed by persons intimately &C
quainted with the Zulu country, and
with current events, represent the total
loss OF human life at not less than q
hundred thousand, including of course
