The bank paper circulation Of the United
States, at the present time, is estimated to be
Sl7o,0OO,OOOO, which 81 ,Oo0, 900 are in bills of
a less denomination than S5; S40000000 Of S5;
S13.O60,O00 Oslo; S35, 100000 OF $50: $780,
100000 Of SIS; and $45,0Oo,000 of bills of the
denominations of 500 and upward
From the above it will be seen there are but
S5S,000 900 ofpaper promises-to- pay in circula-
ton under $50. How easily could it be dis
pensed with, and its place supplied by gold and
silver, which is horded and prevented from cir
culation because it is crushed out by this base
and inferior emissionl One Of the first acts Of
the present Congress ought to be an enactment
remposing the tax, which existed in 1913, upon
all banks Of issue. Let the tax be so high as
to prevent bank bills from circulating under
$40. There is plenty Of specie in existence 10
supply its place. An able writer in Hunts
Merchants Magazine, standard commercial au
thority, in noticing the amount Of specie in the
world, says:

From this it would appear that only two
fifths ofall the precious metals now in the coun-
tries mentioned are used (or needed, for, il need

approximations, hut the best staticians in this

Laws of Divorce.

We have thirtytwo states, and there are
almost as many different laws of divorce
as there are states. The reader may see
some of these differences by the following
statements
/. In the States of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, two-thirds of the Legislature
must concur with decision by the court
to make divorce.
2. In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
South Carolina, Louisiana and Missouri, no
divorce can be granted but by special act
Of the legislature, and South Carolina has
never granted divorce.
8. In the states of Connecticut, Ohio
and Illinois, all divorces are total.
4. In Massachusetts,, New York and
North Carolina, nothing but adultery il
cause of divorce.
5. In Illinois, two years absence, only
is cause of divorce.
6. In Indiana, we believe, anything is
cause, in the discretion of the court. Il
the recent Presbyterian Assembly, at Chi
cago, an elder from that state rose, on tn
trial of Mr.. Shield and said that as b
came from Indiana, he desired to put o
lrecord that Amos Davis voted against d

Bro. GoRMAN: enjoyed the pleasure of

the proceedings of the day, but am aware

reference to the occasion. | observed
with great pleasure the solicitude manifes-
ted by the Ladies in the prosperity of the
Divisions in their immediate communities
For learned that they not only cheer
them by their presence at their stated
meetings, but do all that they can to infu
ence those out of the Order. At the heac
of each Division in the procession was
displayed a banner. presented by the La
dies. Some of them were truly fine il
material, and beautiful in design and exc
cution. But the one with which | wa
particularly struck, was one belonging t.
Mecklenburg Division, No. 48, which ha'
been presented to the Division in "day
gone by," as its appearance truly indica
ted. It bore the indubitable marks c
having seen service in the thickest of tn

ton" We have come through the war,
used. as learned, because it belonged t
the Oldest Division in the county, and il
having endured fierce persecution. On tn
other side, the motto was Principles b,
fore Prosperity" This can be explaine
by giving sketch of the course pursue
by the Division recently.
Perceiving lack of interest in the
meetings, they resolved upon the admi
sion of Ladies as visitors. When this r
solve was carried into execution, and W

The Unity Of the Bible.

As in Beethoven's matcbless n,,,s;c +l.o.,
runs one idea, worked out through all the
changes of measure and of kew, now almost
hidden, now breaking out in rich natural
melody, whispered in the treble, n,urmured
IN the se,dimly suggested in the prelude
out growing clearer and clearer,as the work
proceeds, winding gradually back until i
ends in the key in which it beoan and
closes IN triumphant harmony, so lhro1obont
the whole Bible, there runs one prea1 ;doo
man $ ruin by sin, and his redemption bT
grace; IN word, Jesus Christ. the S,viO-
1hls runs through the Old Testament tLat
prelude TO the New, dimly promised at the
iaii, and moro clearl y to Abraham; typife3
IN the ceremonies of the law; all the events
OF sacred history paving the genealooies of
Ruth and Chronicles spoken of as Shiloh
by Jacob, as the Star, by Balaam. as the
Prophet by Moses; the David of the
Psalms; the Redeemer looked for by Job.
The Beloved of the Song of Songs. We find
them IN the sublime strains of the lofty
Isaiah in the writings of the tender Jere-
mlah; IN the mysteries Of the contemnIa-
tive Ezekiel in the visions Of the beloved
Daniel; the great idea growing clearer and
clearer, as the time drew on. Then the full
harmony broke ont in the song of the an
gels, "Glory to God in the highest: on
earth, peace, goodwill towards men" And
E3vangelists and Apostles taking up the
theme, the strain closes in the same kew in
which 1t began; the devil, who troubled
the tirst Psradise, forever excluded from the
second man restored to the favor of God:
and Jesus Christ the key-not of the whole
american MesSsnqer.

For the Spirit of the Age.

Mr.. EDITOR The examination that came
off at Rutherford Academy, Burke county,
on the 25th and 26th of June, was most
satisfactory one to every person present.
The exercises were opened each day, at
A. NJ, and closed at p. NJ, allowing one
hours recess. Notwithstanding the busy
season of the year, host of persons was
in attendance; and good order and pro-
found attention marked the interest Of the
audience throughout the exercises.
The examination was conducted upon a
plan little differing from schools general
ly. A speech and some most delightful
music were interspersed between each
class for examination, constituting most
pleasing variety in the exercises of the day
The ready responses to almost every
question asked by the examiners, and thu
spafliling eyes Of the young ladies ant
gentlemen, were sufficient evidences t
even the most stupid of the spectators
that they understood their subjects well
and that great credit was due the Tutor
for their unceasing efforts to advance thei
charges in intellectual and moral culture
Long may Rutherford Academy remain t
bless the sons and daughters of wester
North Carolina.
The advanced class in English Gramms
surpassed anything we have ever seen e!
amined upon that subject. The Princip
challenged the e. tire assembly to furnis
a sentence that they could not analize, b
none such could be found.
The ability Of the Principal to impart
knowledge Of this most useful branch
English literature, and his mode of tcac
ing, as it differs from almost every 9th
in the State, claim for that institution
most generous patronage. Professor Bail
who is in charge of the Classics and Mat
ematics, seems to understand his busin
well. An institution in the hands of su
men must and OW prosper.
This school is in very fourishing c'
dition. The next session will CONNER
on Wednesday lst Of September, and cl
on the last Of January, 1859. All W
desire good education upon the m
economical plan, would do well to 60
this institution. A new building, so
80 feet, 2 stories high, is inprocess of el
ton. and the Trustees hope to have it
ished by the first of next session.

DRUNKENNESS IN THE OLDEE Tine
According to the Plymouth records, April
/, 1858, "John Holmes was censured for
drunkenness, to sit in the stocks, and
amerced in twenty shillings fine" This
sentence, so early recorded in our colonial
history, may have given rise to the saying
about q being hung and pay forty shillings

On the first of July, same year, it was
ordered " that the person in whose house

" Death & Co."

This firm would respectfully invite the
attention of the Darlington and adjacent
Districts to their excellent stock of Bran
dies, Wines, Whskey, Rum, Gin and all
other kinds Of intoxicating liquors. These
liquors are fresh from the adulterating
houses Of the North, and contain more
poison than any which have been previous
ly imported. Those who wish to put an
end to their existence by means of spirit
uous liquors, could not do better than pat
ronize the firm Of "DEATH & Co." since
their liquors are so well saturated with
strychnine, arsenic, DC, that they cannot
fail to accelerate the accomplishment of
their wishes.
All legal gentlemen who wish to increase
their practice would do we'll to recommend
the firm of "Death & Co." to the people.
All persons who wish to increase the
number of insolvent estates, bankrupts,
disconsolate widows, help pless orphans, inva-
lids, paupers, &C., would do we'll to urge the
claims Of this respectable firm upon the
public. All parents who wish their sons
to become gamblers, drunkards, burglars,
horse-thieves, adulterers, swearers, maniacs,
and subsequently vagabonds and outcasts
from society, would do well to send them
to Death Il Co.." as this firm is always
prepared to give, to young men, these ex-
cellent qualities at the shortest notice. In
short, the liquors now in the hands of
" Death d Co." are prepared and sold for
the sole purpose Of destroying the morals,
property. health and religion of all who
drink them, and at last to bring them to
premature grave, and sink them down to
hell.
Therefore, if any person wishes to bring
himself to the end above mentioned,
let him at once haste to the firm of "Death
d Co.." or to one of their numerous agen-
cies which are established at the various
cross roads, muster grounds, election pre-
cincts, villages, towns, cities, &c, and at
which full supply of the above mention
ed liquors are always kept
