church Dedication.

Il. The dedication of the new sanctuary
Just erected by the members of the N. I.
Church. South, in this town, took place
last Sabbath. Quite anumber Of minis
tiers were present from other places, and
among the number Rev. ]. B. McFerren.
D. D., and Rev. E. w. Sehon, D. D., of
Nashville, Tenn.
The dedicatory discourse was delivered
by DR.. McFerren, to crowded house,
from a text comprising thesffst fouriiver-
ses of the second chapter of ST. Paul,s'
First Epistle to Timothy, the object Of
which was to impress upon the audi
ence the importance 81 revealed reli-
gion, and its beneficial influence upon So
ciety in all its departments. It was char
acterized: by profound ability in all the
elements that go to constitute an able and
elegant moral disposition. Plain and
simple in manner, clear, concise, con-
vincing in reason. beautiful In diction,
and feryent in natural eloquence. it was.

from that gsrish and adscititious ornament
which consists in mere emblazonry of
words full Of sound and fury, signify

the ear and disgusts the sense, of the au-
ditor. l'l, 7tg. SD strH :
After the morning service, collection
was made for liquidating the liabilities
against the church. which amounted to
$500, nearly enough to free it from
debt. s,,t taa
The evening exercises were conducted
by Dr. sehon in discourse Of which
none but himself is capable. His striking
comparisons. chaste figures. beautiful and
delicate metaphors. lofty eloquence. in
comparable diction and polished address.

ly entities him to rank foremost in the
list OF those whose names fill the speaking
trump Of fame.

|principle. need go but one step further,
andlput the salaries of all the State Gov
ernors. Judges and other officers with d
sufficient sum for the expenses in the gen.
erai appropriation bill. The State gov
.ernments if governments they might be
called would lose all their independence
and dignity economy which now
distinguishes them would be converted
into profusion limited only by the extent
of the supply. Money is power, and in
that government which pays all the pub
lie officers of the State, will all political
power be substantially concentrated. /
am sure that the intelligent people of our
several States will be satisfied, on little
reflection, that it is neither wise nor safe
to release the members of the local legis>
lures from the responsibility Of levying
the taxes necessary to support their State
Governments. and vest it in Congress
over most of whose members they have
no control. They will not think it expe-
dent that Congress shall be tax gatherer,
and pay-master Of all their State Govern
ments, thus amalgamating all their Off
GERS into one mass of common interest
and common feeling. Tits too obvious
that such course would subvert our well
beloved system of government, and
ultimately deprive us of all the blessings
now derived from our happy Union.
: 1t is difficult to perceive what advanta-
ges would accrue to the old States or the
new. from the system OF distribution
which this bill proposes. 1t requirs no
argument to prove that, if three millions
of dollars year, or any other sum shall
be taken out of the Treasury for distribu:
ton. it mus: be replaced, by the same
sum collected from the people, through
some other means. The old States will
receive annually sum of money from the
Treasury, but they will pay in larger
sum, with the expenses Of collection and
distribution.

ANDREW JACKSON.
AcquittaI of Mrs. Cunningham.

NEW YORK. May lO-P. M.-The trial
OF Mrs. Cunningham for the murder OF
DR.. Burdell, is at length closed. The
counsel both for the defense and the pro.
secution occupied each two hours yester.
day in summing up, the attorney general
closing the case at six O'clock. Judge
Davies then proceeded to charge the jury
in an able. clear aud impartial address,
lasting one hour, when at seven the Jury
retired. All eyes were directed towards
them as they proceeded to the jury room,
and efforts were now made to obtain a
better view Of the prisoner. whose fate
hung so awfully in the balance. She,
however. avoided the prying curiosity OF
the crowd, as did also her daughters
AT twenty-five minutes Of eight o'clock
the jury re entered, when profound still
ness reigned, and the clerk took his posi-
ton in the witness chair and lead over
the names after all the jurors had an,
swered. he put the question. viz " Gen.
tlemen Of the jury, have you agreed up.
on verdict 90 The foreman answered,
1--WE have" The prisoner Immediately
showed signs of being deeply affected,
and was much agitated but the court
ordered her 10 look towards the Jurors,
and also requested the latter to look upon
the prisoner. "'
The clerk then asked, How say you,
gentlemen, do you find Emma Augusta
Cunningham, otherwise called Burdell.
guilty or not guilty ?" The foreman re.
sponded, "not guilty." But Mrs. Gun
bingham was SO agitated that she heard
not the words the foreman uttered, and
did not know the verdict till her counsel
whispered to her then she sunk back
overpowered by her feelings. After recov-
ering, the prisoner andher daughters were
conducted out of court into one Of the
judges chambers, and there received the
congratulations Of her friends at the hap.
Ply termination Of the prosecution. She
then returned to the fatal house in Bond
street.
1t is reported that the authorities have
obtain q clue that will bring to light the
real murderers of DR.. Burdell, and they
are now engaged in affecting arrests
The public are exceedingly anxious fol
some further development. as thus far
the ends Of justice have been completely
and shamefully baked.

Excitement at the University Of Va.

Excitement at the University of Va.
On the night of the 18th inst, at Char
louisville. two Of the students Of the Uni
versity of Virginia, one named Baxter,
from Georgia, and the other Martin Of
Virginia, having knocked at the door of
grocery store kept by an Italian named
Nanoni, were fred upon by one of the
inmates from the second story. and both
wounded-Baxter slightly and Martin Sc.
verely. though not dangerously. What
subsequently ensued is thus narrated in a
letter to the Alexandria Gazette, dated
10Th:
This morning large crowd of stu
dents collected at Msnoni's store, and
searched it throughout. but found no one
except the clerk, from whom nothing con-
corning the shooting could be gotten
About an hour after that another search
was made, and Mononi and his brother
the latter Of whom fred the gun-were
found under bed in the back part of the
house. They were Immediately bound,
and though many were for hanging. and
some for taring and feathering. it was de-
cided 10 fog them both severely and
drive them from the country. AS soon
as it was determined to fog them they
were dragged to an adjoining field, and
due preparations were made for carrying
it into effect. but just at this moment the
chairman OF the faculty appeared, and
by forcible and genslemanly appeal, he
prevailed upon the students to give the
culprits over to the proper authorities,
and they are now lodged in the Jail at
Charlottesville.
We have letter from a correspondent
at Charlottesville giving the particulars of
the above unfortunate affair. The two
accounts agree in the main facts. Our
correspondent says that Manoni "a man
familiar to many an old student of the
University keeps restaurant, at the door
of which the two students were knocking
when fred upon. The gun was charged
with small shot. One of the students re-
ceivcd only few shot in his coat and on
the side Of his face. but the other was
less fortunate. nearly the whole load took
effect on the back of his head and neck,
the flesh terribly, fracturing
the bone and severing several ofthe small.
err blood vessels. AS yet his wounds are
not supposed to be mortal. Many shot,
passed on. entering his face and
otherwise mutilated il horribly.

CARLrLE IN BARBouR.-The Know. No
thing candidate for Congress made his
speech at PhiliPpi on Monday last. 1t
fell upon his audience a like dishwater
on ducks back .a.1l
He was replied to by A. G. Roger. Esq.
in an eloquent and telling speech, in
which he successfully exposed the hum
buggery Of the land grabber's scheme
bringing the evidence OF Clay. Calhoun,
Cass, Jackson and Webster to sustain
him in his opposition to it. The specious
positions Of Garlic were more than refu.
ted. The Democracy Of Barbour will
give good account of themselves on the
28th inst.
For more full account of the two
speeches made in Philippi on Monday.
we refer the reader to the letter of our
correspondent found in another column.

Don't Trade.

Another of the means to be used to as.
sist the election of Mr.. Carlile is trading
votes. Our opponents having no candi.
dates for Senate or House of Delegates,
will vote for Democrat and then insist
upon their Democratic neighbors voting
for Garlic. They have RETAINED from
nominating candidates for these Offices
for this very purpose, and We caution
our Democratic friends against trading
of their votes. Every vote traded off is
vote lost. a-..s5l .

/" rorewarned Forearmed.n

Our Know Nothing friends seem de.
termined TO use every possible effort to
elect Mr.. Carlile. In this end OF the dis
trict. where nearly every county is Demo
cratic they have sacrificed every other
Office to aid bis success. They have avoi-
ded all excitement that would bring out
the Democratic vote, and are using every
effort to secure the attendance of his
friends at the polls. We understand that
they are even recognizing their old
councils. and appointing committees to
wait upon all the doubtful members and
those likely to stay at home. and urge
them to attend and vote for Carlile. By
thus polling the full Know Nothing vote
against about half Of the Democratic vote,
they hope to succeed.
Let our Democratic friends take warn-
ing in time. and initiate the vigilance Of
their opponents. Let them. too, take the
necessary steps to poll a full vote. Let
every Democrat go to the election
and take all of his neighbors with
him. BY this means there will be a
full expression OF the choice of the peo>
pie. which always secures Democratic
triumph.
