receive their diplomas, presented their lord

RESPONSIBILITIES or rns Pass RI compliance
with suggestion recently made by the South Caro-
lnisn that every editor in the State give exprss-

the following views -.
. An editor should carefully avoid, and as far
possible, keep his columns free from articles, by
himself or others Of personally offensive charac.
ter calculated to produce mschiefor lead 10 fatal
serious consequences; the platform occupied by the
" fulcrum and Lever" of the mora! and intellectual
world should never be perverted from its legitimate
uses 1t u no gladiatOrial arena, upon which men
should be allowed to meet and discuss or settle their
Prsodte disputes. The Press bel ,ngs in one sense
to the public and the public good should be its
slant aud only aim, and whenever it becomes ne
cessary to expose the dcnquences of persons
cupying positions of public confidence and tri 8 :,
and the occasion demands that the actions Of ndi-
v'duas should be closely scrutinized, let not the
mot're OF such be too severely condemned until at
least they have had the full benefit of a calm and
unprejudiced hearing.
W hist we should never be afraid to blame, let it
be done with prudence, moderation and dycency
never lse sight Of the golden rule, forget that
sometimes errors of judgment not chargeabe to
impurities OF the heart. The head may be sadly a:
fault. and yet. the motive and heart honest.
An editor who carefully avoids giving offence in
the publication Of Objectionable articles should not
be held 10 account in case he publish comnunica

The WHEAT Crop IN VIEGINIA.-The Wythevil!e
Times says: The mild and pleasant weather of
February acted like charm upon the growing
wheat. Within the last few weeks it has improved
wonderfully. We had opportunity of noticing
the change in large portion OF Virginia. and indeed
it was considerable. About the middle Of February
passed over large por,ien of the Virginia and
Tennessee, the Southside, and the Richmond and
DanviIlc railroads. and from careful obs rvaton and
conversation with farmers, concluded that the
prospect for good wheat crop was gloomy indeed.
But as we returned, about the I'd Of March, n very
perccptible change had taken place. The balmy
spring like weather had starred it to growing, and
we saw so e fields in Eastern Virginia, especially
the Roanoke and Dan rivers, where the ground
was almost completely hid. The wheat in Western
Virginia is BY no means so forward, but STILL if the
weather continues favorable, we have no doubt the
yield will be at least an average one"

correspondent of the Petersburg Express. writing
from Warrenon, North Carolina, about recollections
of Quankey parish near there, says:
The last royal clergyman who officated in the
parish was named Taylor. Upon the meeting of the
wings in Halifax. on the 9th Of April. l776, for the
purpose of placing the county in military organiza
ton, parson Taylor became very active in opposition
to measures adopted, and took occasion to preach
very severe sermon on the subject of loyalty to the
king and against rebellion anmadverling in strong
terms on the movements of the wings Nothing
was said by the audience at the time-not n murmur
or disapprobation was heard; but on the next Sab
bath, as the reverend tory assembled the pulpit he
was startled to find gonrd of tar and a small bag
ofteathers. placed there by way of hint The hint
was taken in all its Significance the parson descend
ed, left the church. and very soon emgrated to
more congenal region 1t is certain he never
preached at Quankey Chapel again."

In the violent internal aching termed cholir. add

The same will revive person who almost

hour, and then bind some salt with rag. In tooth-
ache, warm salt and water held to the part, and

with brine. If the teeth be erred with tartar,
wash them twice day with salt and water.
