pick mp some old clothes which had been throws
him from the window, when 4 crowd of rude
boys gathered about him, mimicking his awk
ward movement, and hooting at his heipIessness
and rags. Presently noble little fellow came
up, aud pushing through the crowd helped the
poor crippled man TO pick up his gifts, and
place them in a handle Then slipping piece
of silver into his hands, he was running away,
when a voice far above him said Little boy
with straw hat look up :" He did so, and
a lady, leaning from gu upper window, said
earnestly, God bless YOU nv little fellow
God bless yOu for that" The lady was the
wife of a man so distinguished among the great
men Of the world, that every one Of those bows
would have been proud to obtain ier approba-
ton and when she wrote down his name as
one she wished to remember, be felt more than
paid for all that he had done As he walked
along he thought how glad he had made his
own heart by doing good He thought Of the
poor beggarS grateful look then Of the lady's
smile, and the words Of approval; and last.
and better than all, he could almost hear his
Heavenly Father whispering, Blessed are the

The WIsDoN OF THE Ross-Calyary is
therefore a place where all the terrors of
Divine Majesty concentrate themselves the
Cross, a scaffold, and place of horrifying
revelation of that wrath, which burns down to
the lowest hell Certainly so it is That
bloody scene has, however, another side View
ed from the latter, Calvary appears as hill,
whence cometh our help, and as the fountain
of our peace the Cross as the standard of our
liberty, and the true tree of life. The greatest
conceivable problem is solved in the cross Of
Christ, and contradiction reconciled, than
which there could not have been invented one
more striking. He that dwells in heaven is
faithful, just, and holy and a consuming fire :;
and yet he must pronounce the wicked pious
and treat tranSgresSors as righteous. Is he
able to do this ? Not without denying himself
and being at variance with himself We can
not Judge otherwise but in this manner We
must regard it as impossible, and the under
standing of the most enlightened seraph would
have been unable to discover 10 what impos
sibility could ever have become possible Never
theleSS, blessed be the highly exalted and only
wise God ! the greatest Of all enigmas is soly-
ed, and way to render possible that which is
impossible discovered Hear what Paul says
with an emphatic repetition To declare /
say, at this time his righteousness, that he
might be just, and the justlfer of him that
beeveth in Jesus" Have you understood
it ? The bloody execution is the basis on which

The MoRMoNs Mov1NG.-The pews from Utah via
California, is con6rmatory of that which we have
already published from the camp of the expedition.
There seems little reason to doubt that the Nor
mons are vacating their Northern settlements, the
object being to avoid contact and intercourse with
the troops of whose entrance into their valleys there
seems now no longer any doubt on their minds.
Messrs Fulton and Surchell, who left Salt Lake
Valley on the 18th of April inform the editor Of the
Placervilie Times that the Mormons temporarily
moving into Iron county, in the extreme Southern
part of Deseret but that their ultimate destination
will probably be in some part of Sonora Their
mode of leaving the settlement is somewhat peeu-
liar. All those living in the southern part of the
Territory left first in order that their vacant houses
might serve as shelter and restingp place for those
who should follow from the North. In this way the
evacuation commenced, and the southern settle
mons were under way, and those of the north were
rapidly assembling at Salt Lake City for the pur-
pose of following the bid of their leaders, Wash.

RAJ EIGH. NORTH-CAROLINA.

~ The Carolina Watchman, in its notice of the
personal difficulty between Judge Ellis and Mr.. Nc
Rae, does the former gross injustice. The Watch
man says:
"His Honor, Judge Ellis, it will be observed gave
the first insult, and the first blo,o-just like spoit
child, determined haoing his oson aoay. Those
who have observed any thing at ALL know how often
such persons get themselves into trouble. II will,
regardless of consequences" is dangerous motto
when the object is an unsanctifed one. And next
to that is that other desperate sentiment-"ruleo
ruin" Conservative, law.abiding people ought to
"spot" those who act upon such principles"
Judge Ellis did not give the first insult. He had
been arguing, legtmatey and truly, that under all
the circumstances the election of Mr.. McRae would
be regarded as an encouraging sign by the black
Republicans. There are but two organized parties
in this country, the Democratic and the black Re-
publican The latter is the opposition to Democracy
in the Northern States, as Know Nothingsm which
is sustaining Mr.. McRae, is the opposition to Democ
racy in the Southern States. This opposition
have but one common end in view, to wit, the pros
traton of the national Democracy. Mr.. McRae is
doing his part to divide and PROSTATE the Democra.
cy South, others of the opposition doing their
part to divide and PROSTATE it in the North. He
opposes Lecompton and sympathizes with Judge
Douglas for one reason, while the opposition North
oppose Lecomptos and sustain Judge Douglas for
another reason. This is substantially the view which
Judge Ellis was taking, at the same time carefully
abstaining from impeaching Mr.. McRae's personal
sonndness the question Of slavery. He had taken
the same view at Clinton and elsewhere, and MIR.
McRae had not regarded as personal insult; but
at Beaufort he appeared to take fire at this line Of
argument pursued by Judge Ellis, and turning upon
that gentleman, by his manner more than by his
language brought him to his feet. The latter, in
reply to calls by Mr.. McRae, repeated what he had
said in the of his argument on that and form
er occasions; whereupon Mr.. McRae gave him tie
lie, or pronounced him guilty Of falsehood, which
was the same thing. As matter of course, Judge
Ellis struck him. Mr.. McRse struck back, and they
were parted.
We leave it to all "conservative and law-abiding
people," upon this plain and correct statement of the
facts, to determine who gave the first insult. The
truth is, the Watchman has also done Mr.. McRae
injustice for it has placed him in the attitude of hav-
ing been first insulted and then struck. The con-
trary is the fact. He gave the first insult, and
struck for it and hence the friends of the two gen.
tlemen experienced but little difficulty in reconcilng
the personal difference

HOLDEN 4 WILSON, STATE PRINTERS,


w Congress adjourned on Monday last. The
President however, convened the Senate in special
session Tuesday, to act on Executive business
1t was supposed the Senate would be in session but
day two. For notice of the adjournment Of
Congress, see article in another column, from the
Washington Union
The announcement made by the President that
he would not sign any bills unless an opportunity
was given him to examine them in detail, has had
most salutary effect the legislation of Congress-
No attempts were made, as at former sessions, to
rush bills through at the close of the session, be-
cause it was known that they would not be approx
ed unless time allowed to the President to ex-
anime them and the result has been that no bad or
doubtful measures have been passed into laws. Mr..
Buchanan deserves the thanks of the country for
this sautary reform. The two houses of Congress
adjourned quietly and harmoniousy, after session
of some six months, during which much business of
importance has been considered and transacted.

LITERARY BoARD.-The people who live in the
Lake region Of Hyde County, are loud and bitter
in their complaints against this board, for permit.
ting citizen of that county to throw dam across
the public canal, leading from Alligator Lake to
Pungo River, in order to supply his private Mill
Pond with water. Without excessive rains, the
Lake Country has been flooded with water this
spring, to the utter ruin Of many valuable farms.
One of the most pregnant of the causes which has
produced this unfortunate result is attributed to the
closing of his canal We understand that some of
the persons injured talk Of suing the board for dam
ages.
The defence of said Board is novel one. They
assume, that because water may run near the head
of canal ditch, it does harm to close it at its
mouth! What pity the State cut the canal so
long and so deep at first The present board have
made valuable discovery in Hydraulic Engineer
ing Washington Dispatch.
We are authorized to say that no authority has
been given by the present Literary Board to obstruct
the canal above stated and that it not known
to the Board that any such obstruction had been
made, or that there was any complaint about it.
The Board therefore, has made no "detence :"
whatever and least of all such that stated by
the Dispatch We will state farther, that the Pres
ident of the Board, as informed of it, took
immediate steps to have the obstruction removed.
Does the Dispatch think it right to make its facts
in the premises, in order to let off its wishy washy

A SLAvE-STEALER PUN1sHKD.-CaPt. Bayliss, of
the ship Keziah, from Delaware, who decoyed some
slaves from Petersburg has been tried and sentenced
to forty years hard labor in the penitentiary The
Richmond Dispatch says:
The sentence of this active agent of the "under-
ground railroad to forty years in the Pententary,
is one somewhat calculated to dsmpen the ardor Of
that branch of abolition commercial enterprise. The
prospect of fifty dollars head for his passengers has
given place to a reward appropriate to his phi
lanthropy, and he is elevated from the position
of successful punderer to that of a suffering mar
tyr. If the sympathy of the New York Tribune
can compensate for the sweets of liberty, he may be
reconciled to his fate 1t is only by such stern and
thorough administration Of the law that property
can be protected and the judgment in his case may
give assurance to all whom il concerns that similar
ofenses will be visited a similar manner"
The Keziah has been forfeited to the State of Vir-
ginia and is advertised to be sold.

SELF-CULTURE an Address delivered before the
Oxford Female College, May 27, 1858, by Rev.
w. NJ. WINGATE.
The above is the title of an Address which we
have just issued from this Office for the Clio Soce
ty" of this College, Oxford
We have never read an Address which embodies
better or sounder advice young ladies, conveyed
too in the most attractive style President Wingate
is an original thinker; and he expresses himself
with terseness, force, and occasionally with marked
elegance and beauty. He was the very man to make
this Address; and he has so performed his task as
to leave nothing to be supplied or regretted.
We must offer an apology, however, to President
Wingate and to the Clio Society,"" for an awkward
mistake which occurs in the pamphlet. The mistake
was made in &c running over the pages, one of the
lines being in the wrong place. line is misplaced,
having been transferred from the bottom of the 2lst
page to the top Of the same; but the intelligent
reader will readily detect and correct the mistake.
