W Among the failures in New York we notice
those Of Harper & Brothers, the publishers, and
Messrs. Bowen & McNamee, dealers in silks and fine
goods. The Harpers, it is said, have only suspend
ed, and will be able to pay out and have something
besides. The New York Neacs thus notices the fail
ure of Bowen & McNamee:
political TRADERs.-We do not desire to exult
over the misfortune of any person, but do say
that the failure of one firm which has made itself no.
torious for the offensive style in which it has para.
ded its politics is worthy passing notice. Many
who shared the sentiments of Messrs. Brown Nc
Nance condemned their method of advertising their
silks and satins through the medium of politics.
They have helped to the wind and they are reap
ing the harvest. They vaunted the wealth and sta
by of their house in every mode sneered at South.
ern custom, and boastngly proclaimed that they
least would survive, in undiminshed mercantile sta
bity, the dissolution of the Urion An in
6nitely less disastrous event has happened in the
commercial world, and this firm. confident in their
ability to meet every engagement have succumbed.
The lesson is full of point-that there is time for
all thngs-a time to sell silks, to proclaim party pre-
ferences, and to pay ones debts; we presume the
last duty will engross the exclusive attention of the
firm for some time to come"

The Kehukee Association.

We learn from friend that the Kehukee Associ-
alton of Primitive Baptists--or, as he terms them
81 the old order of Baptists" assembled with the
church at Rocky Mount the Sd instant, and clos.
ed on the 9Th The Association was visited by four
brethren from the free States and at their request
the Association entered into resolution to keep up
Irregular correspondence with them hereafter. The
Rev. R. D. Hart, gentleman of zeal and inte-
gence is to be the first delegate from the Kehukee
Association to the Associations to convene next
June in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, &c.
Thus we see that while other religious denomina-
tions being severed and distracted by the ques
ton of slavery, the Primitive Baptist church stands
fast in its integrity and nationality. The fact is
highly creditable to the worthy people who COM
pose this denomination from Maine to California
Walking in the old paths, and adhering with prim-
tive simplicity to the faith of their fathers they have
kept out of the malign and banefu influences which
have found their way into other churches and which
have resulted in feud and separation, in decline of
Gospel feeling and the prevalence of all uncharita
bleness.

BISHOP ArKMsoN.-The Richmond Dispatch ofthe
2sth ult., Alludes in high complimentary terms to
the pulpit efforts of this able divine at the Mouu-
mental Church, Richmond, on Sunday the 27th-
The following is the paragraph:
"Bishop Atkinson, of North. Carolina, preached
in the Monumental Church on last Sunday morning,
and in st. Paul's at night. Both sermons chac-
acterized by that vigor Of thought and remark
able logical acumen and power, and by that trans
parent clearness Of STYLE for which Bishop Atkinson
is emnently distinguished. The sermon in the
morning, from the words of Plate, "What is TRUTH"
was great masterpiece Of Christian philosophy,
logic, and eloquence; the thoughts, the most wise
and profound; the augmentation, the most cogent
and irresistible; the whole conveyed in style lu-
minous and beautiful a sunbeam simple as to
reach the painest capacity yet elegant as to cap
tvate the most refined taste 1t was indeed grand
production and derived additional power and i'm
pressiveness from the complete absorption Of the
speaker in his subject; without which the noblest
efforts Of pulpit oraory whilst they may excite the
admiration Of the mind fail to affect the hearts, and
influence the actions of men.

Kansas Elections.

furnishes the gratifying intelligence that the election
held in Kansas Monday last has resulted in favor
of the democratic party by large and decided ma

ture the democrats have majority.
Since the above was in type, we have received the
following despatch from source entitled to the full

branches of the territorial legislature. Our majority
in Leavenworth county is $50 The union between
our northern and southern democrats is cordial and

The Cotton Market.


Cotton has declined. This must be owing entire
failures and suspensions constantly taking place in
the Northern and Eastern States. The stock on
hand in this country and Europe is smaller than
usual-the growing crop will not be as full that
of former years. while the demand for the article is
constantly increasing in all portions of the world.
The prices up to a recent date, were excellent;
and if they could have been maintained, large por
ton of the incoming crop would at once have been
sent to market. But, as it is, and with still further
decline iii expectancy the sellers will be mostly
those who must have money, while those who are
able to do without the cash will hold back for better
prices. The Columbus (Ga.) Tines and Sentinel
says to its planting friends
"HoLD ON TO Your CoTToN.-The temporary
suspension of business has produced a decline in
cotton Buyers cannot get money from the Banks,
and hence there is no competition in the cotton
market, and the great staple goes begging for the
present The remedy for this evil is in the hands of
the planters: Let them hold on to their cotton
English and Northern Manufacturers are compelled
to have it, and will send agents with gold from Liv
erpool and New York, to the planters doors to buy
it, if they do not take panic, and force their cot
ton on the market
The present crop cannot exceed three millions of
bales. There is failure of the crop in Georgia and
Alabama.-the two States which produce the largest
cotton crops in the Union. Texas and Arkansas
crops may be good but they cannot make up the de-
fciency in these two great cotton States AS
pared with them, their production of cotton is small
1t is time that planters understood their true in
terests.-If Northern orders do not come in soon,
for the crop, let neighborhoods combine and ship
direct from Charleston and Savannah to Liverpool.
They can thus save the expenses of shipment
through New York, get 81 to lOd or 10 to 20 cents
for their cotton, and return, in specie, in 80 days.
When this can be done, without risk we cannot un-
derstand why Southern planters should submit to a
ruinous loss on cotton"

NORTH CxRoLrNA Joukxx1 or EpucAr1oN.-Ata
meeting of the North Carolina Educational Associs
ton held in Warrenton ID June last eommitee
was appointed to make arrangements for publishing
q monthly paper under the above title. The arrange.
ments have been completed, and the first No. VIII
be issued in few days. We take this occasion to
commend the journal the attention Of our readers
and the public generally. Especially does it become
teachers Of every grade, from the common school
teacher up to the professor president Of College,
to have some common bond of union, some medium
for the free interchange of thought and sentiment
There can be M unity of action indeed much
harmony of feeling between different schools and be-
tween teachers of different grades, without some
proper medium of communication and every one
must see that the success and advancement of the
educational interests Of our State depend mainly up.
on the efficiency and the united action of the in
structors of our youth.
Nor are teachers alone concerned in this enterprise
It becomes every freeman to lend his aid to any and
every enterprise that has for its aim the advance
ment of the cause of education since is education,
in a great degree, that distinguishes US from the
brute, and raises us above the savage; that gives
civil and religious liberty; that guards our homes
and our lives it is education that gives us inventions
and discoveries that brings forth and develops every
science; that makes the weak man strong and the
poor man rich it is education that penetrates the
frozen zones of the North, gropes amid the eter-
nal desolation Of perpetual SHOWS and brings back
to the features of that land that traverses the
burning deserts of vertical sun. 1t is education
that dives into the ocean and brings up the mysteries
of the great deep that digs into the bowels Of the
earth and displays to the eyes of man her hidden
treasur es it is education that ascends to the skies
and hands down to earth, the grand and glorious
order Of the heavenly bodies; that subdues the
lightning and sends it with dispatches ahead of time
We understand that the services of an able corps
of Editors have been secured, and that depart
ment within the province of an Educational Journal
will be neglected. The learned, the humorous and
the curious will each find corner devoted to their
respective tastes We learn that original speeches,
instructive nature, suited to public exhibition WILL
from time to time, appear in the Journal.
Besides, it is designed to make the Journal q
medium through which all schools in want Of teach
ers, and all teachers in want of situations be-
come known to each other, and have their wants
supplied. Warrington Despatch.

nouncement is official
We are authorised to state that ample accommo-
datons are being provided for any number of visit
ors that the quantity and quality of the stock &C.,
are expected to exceed those of former years: The
grounds have been much improved and are in good
order.
ExTRAvAGANcE-f man has an income of
thousand year and spends fifteen hundred he is on
the road to inevitable bankruptcy. If a nation pro-
duces 3O0, 900 900 of dollars worth, and consumes
$3.50 O00 600, the nation is equally certain to meet
financiaa destruction.
We are becoming, says the N. Y. Sun, with as
much truth as bunness, a nation Of vain, extrava-
CANT fools. From January LIST to fhis date we have
imported foreign merchandise to sthe value of one
hundred and seventy five millons;of dollars-about
IA millions more than our imports amounted to for
the same time last year. The value of our exports
since January LIST is about fifty millions of dollars,
or four millions of dollars less than exports for
the same time last year. We have run into debt
millions of dollars, and by the end of the year
foreign debt for imported goods will be much
; larger. ..~ .,--.~ q -. :. 3s-,, 60
Meanwhile the currency of the land, which is to
pay the deficit arising from surplus importation the

millions to the west to satisfy the land gambling
mania Of our people.
Is there much wonder then, in financial revul.
