ON THE BIBLE.

The Bible gives us the most pure, sub
lime, and rational conceptions of our
Creator. 1t makes us acquainted with
the very best system of cosmography ex-
tant 1t teaches us the origin and the
end of our being. 1t fixes the highest
standard and purest laws of morality
1t discloses disobedience as the prolific
source of all evil, and unfolds the reme
dial system of grace. 1t describes every
evil and social relation, and refnes the
responsibilities and duties of each and
every one. 1t furnishes practical lessons
and powerful motives of human happi-
ness, both for the present and future state
of existence. 1t lays the best system
down for human government, by furnish
ing the soundest principles of justice and
equity. 1t teaches the human family The
way to heaven and to God. 1t instructs
the ignorant, comforts the s0rrowful, sue
cors the tempted and saves the lost. 1t
is the only standard work which God has
seen fit to hand down to the children of
men. 1t is the only chart to heaven
In the Bible are to be found the most
certain chronology--the. most authentic

HELP YOUR PASTORS.

Pastors need help. They have great
work to perform, and in many cases it is
to all earthly appearances a very dis.
couraging one. Many obstacles have to
be overcome. The world, the flesh, and
the Devil. Gospel truth meets opposi.
ton in every quarter Men have been
desperately wicked in every age, and
nothing but the renovating and all re-
generating power of God could reclaim
them. The most prudent steps, and the
most Jealous efforts often result in no APP
parent or visible good. There is moth
ing so heart-rending and discouraging to
devoted pastor as the apathy and indif-
ference of his hearers. They may pay
his salary punctually; they may attend
his ministry respectfully, but something
more is necessary. 1t is their incumbent
and indispensable duty to help him build
up the church spiritually. Such help is
needed in the Sunday school, the prayer
meeting, and the church conference
1t is important to aid and assist him in
the great work of conversion; for if they
do not this, they will retard the great
work of God Reader, will you prevent
your pastor from usefulness by withhold
ing your means from the necessities of his
family g! To help your pastor you must
be prompt in paying him up. His fami-
ly are depending on your support. Will
you assist your Pastor, or will You not ?
Let justice speak.

10 The other day our friend Dr. t
gave us half dozen pills and bottle of
bitters, telling us to use freely and we
would not be sick any more. Well, we
didn't use-the pills were crumbled and
scattered to the four winds, and left to
mork out their own destiny-the bottle of
bitters was opened and with solemn in
junction to fertilize and purify the earth
instead of us, was poured on the ground.
The day afterwards our friend Thomas,
of the firm of Bean & Thomas, seeing
us moping about prescribed bottle of
Champagne Cider, which he opened for
our special benefit. This did not get
served as did the bitters for we "beted"
it in short order, and were web at last
accounts. They have nice variety of
good things on hand; go and see them.

The Council Bluffs Bugle of the Sd inst
contains what purports to be very late
news from Utah. 1t says that Mr.. Win.
gate has just arrived there, in only thirty
-one days from Salt Lake City. This
would bring the intelligence from the
Mormon capital down TO the last day in
January, or first day of February, which
is about a month later than any informal
ton heretofore received. Col. Johnston
despatch, published in the " Union OF
the Sd inst, was dated the 4th of Janua-
ry. Mr. Wingate is a Mormon agent, and
may have made the trip with great des-
patch, being charged with important bus
mess to the East
Mr.. Wingate represents that he came
by route known only to the Mormons
and mountaineers. There was no snow
in the Salt Lake valley at the time he
left. The Mormons were making prepa-
rations to defend the passes, and are
manufacturing small cannon with per
cussion locks, which will carry tive
pound ball a mile and half, with as much
precision as common rifle distance OF
one hundred and twenty yards. Such is
MIR, Wmgate's story. He also asserts
that the MormonS are manufacturing re-
volvers at the rate of 800 week. They
are also manufacturing a coarse powder
The Mormons and some of the picket
guards of Col. JohnstOn's command have
had skirmish; in which the former lost
two killed and five wounded, and it is re-
ported that four of COL Johnston's men
were killed
Brigham Young breaches upon the sub
ject of the war every Sunday. On the
oath of January, the day before Mr.. Win
gate left the city, Brigham preached to
over nine thousand people, and after the
sermon he requested all who were in fa-
vor of giving the troops hell, in case they
attempt to enter the valley, to rise up
Every man, woman and child, rose up.
"Now," said Brigham, 81 am satisfied.
The Lord is with us, and if we determine
of one accord to give the troops hell, the
powers of the earth and hell cannot pre-
vail over US, for have it revealed to me
that not blade of grass or other green
thing, will be left on the plains for the
SuppOrt of the beasts of the enemeS''

Tfaris, tie SponiRg VILLAIN Tel,
Shootieg an Orange fran Bays Head.
We have already alluded to the thou
sand dollars wager, made by John Trav-
is, that he will shoot three oranges from
the head and hands of boy--diStance,
thirty feet-weapon, pistol, When we
reflected that the tremor or movements
of~>muscle may be sufficient to cause a
Premature discharge, and that the deyia-
ton Of the fraction of an inch to the pre-
Else aim might terminate fatally to the
lad, the feat appears as wonderful as il is
certainly novel. Travis formerly resided
in Saratoga. The feat comes off in Louis
vile, in June. The oranges are each to
be 2t inches in diamcter-one is placed
on the top Of his head, and one on the
back of each hand, the arms being extern
died.. In this position, at the distance of
ten PAGES, or thirty feet, facing the shoot
er, and with no intervening object, Cap
tain John Travis proposes to hit the or
Gnge, and has only three shots to hit the
three oranges. The boy who is 10 sup
port the oranges is ten years of age, and
a bright and sprightly lad. He has every
confidence in the ability ofCaptain Tray
is to hit each object, and has equally as
much in his own nerve, which cannot be
surpassed. lie is now under daily train
ing. The boys feet are placed twelve
inches apart and his hands upon his hips.
The Captain shoots through the angle
made by the bending of the arms and be-
tween the feet This is done to accustom
the boy to the firing, and, if possible,
give him more confidence and make him
feel at ease. The little fellow is native
OF louisiana, and his mother is always
present during the practising. She is en-
tirely satisfied that it will result in safety
to her son. This is probably the most
dangerous feat ever undertaken by any
man in this country.-Aibaay Nicko-
booker,

EXEMPTION LAw-Mteyesting Dec;,
'on.-We have heard of an interestino
decision before justice of the peace n
one of the Alabama river counties, which
answers to some extent the question Of
"what's barrel of whiskey in family
without milk :" A plaintiff in execution
went with constable to the house of the
defendant, u genuine son of the Emerald
Isle, to point out property. Nothing
could he find but what the law allowed
nor, indeed as much, saving one barrel Of
whiskey which the constable made the
subject of a levy. Pat resisted it as an
encroachment on his reserved rights, and
got up a fight with the plaintiff upon the
spot, and got--a whipping besides. Pat
appealed to the law for his rights. and
the case was duly tried before the 'Souir
upon the issue whether the said barrel Of
whiskey was property that may be per
manently retained for the use of the fam.
lily, exempt from levy and sale by any Il.
gal process 7" Pat proved upon the trial
that he had never a COW to give a dhrae
O. milk for the childer, and that the ould
woman was in a diicate situation, and
had to mix little whisky with her wa
ther to keep down the heartburn, which
almost run her crazy intirely without it.
The question was solemnly argued upon
the law and the facts and on the part
of the defendant, by esquire p, who
had agg'd Pat ON to contest the case,
and purposely declined "sitting on it"
to appear in that behalf. (The aforesaid
Squire =. we suspect to be bit of
wag, and the Justice who tried the case
probably no better). The Justice was
right ON the milk question,--known al.
ways to be overlooking with the "milk
of human Kindness" He decided prompt
ly and without hesitation, that family
without milk is entitled to have EXEMPTED
all the whisky that may be on hand, not
more than three barrels, to stand in lien
of three cows and calves, if preferred to
milk.-lI0bHe lIcrcury.

MUCH OBLIGED

Are we to the Marshall Democrat for the
tone of courtesy that marks what it says
of us. A great many journals lack this
very desirable qualty-yirtue rather,
We'll term it, or if they possess are very
clear of any exhibition of it. Despite the
good feeling that seems to characterize
| the Dem0crat's "item of Prairie News"
he is a little premature in saying we
pledged ourself to act one way in case a
certain event TRANSFERRED, then saying
there's no use making such bug bear
of it after ALL If we ever pledged our
self to advocate a disunion in case Kan
sas was not admitted, our memory is at
fault, and our files fail to notify us of the
fact. We have always been in favor of
the early admission of Kansas, and are
yet, for we believe it will put an effectu-
al quietus to this eternal hubbub about
disunion. We did say the rights of the
South were trampled on when the Presi-
dent directed the seizure of Gen. Walker,
and the stoppage of his operations in
Nicaragua, we said then, if Com. Pauld-
ing has right to arrest, in foreign land,
any of our citizens who may choose to
expatriate themselves, and we the citi-
zens of Mississippi, or any other Southern
State, are not allowed to go where we
please, Ills mockery to sag acc are a free
people. This we said and we say again.
On several occasions We have spoken of
Kansas and her admission, and as often
expressed ourself in favor of her being
admitted in the Union as soon as practi-
cable, and we want her slave State as
much as any one, but her bleak winters
do not indicate the fields to which South
ern destiny points. If we have ever ex-
pressed a liking for abolitionists we ac-

knowledge we did not give utterance to
our true sentiments; we never had, nor
ever will have any more use for an abo-
litionist than hog has for holiday but
we are for a Union as long as we can
have one of equality.
The Democrat makes very fair pre-
position to us, offering to publish any
story we may write, if equal to Richard
Hoffman" We do not know but what
we would take him up, but the fear of
spunging on his good nature deters us,
and he might publish all of our story,
should've write one, and thereby increase
his circulation. He also proposes to let
us or any other Southern man have any
amount of space, from one column to one
page if We'll pay him what the LEDGER
does. We don't care about taking space,
but would advise cheap advertisers to
pitch in. Now's an excellent opportunity.
If all the papers which published these
stories got more than two cents line for
it. why don't they say how much they did
get We have understood from several
sources two cents line was what was
offered to some papers, this we'll believe
till we are convinced otherwise. If the
Democrat gets usual advertising pay for
publishing these stories, we'll close our
our mouth for good on the subject, if he'll
put them in his advertising columns.

Hunting on tie SabbaM.-The new
Mississippi code prohibits hunting on
Sunday. We think people around here
will "take it OUT in fishing. The fol-

IF any person shall be found hunting
with gun on the Sabbath, he shall, on
conviction thereof, be fined not less than
five, nor more than twenty dollars"

A PRIZE ESSAY ON ADVERTISING
Mr.. Bonner, of the New York Ledger
whose enormous advertisements have at.
tracted so much attention, has advertised
himself into a fortune. He sends to the
New York Times a note from the tax as
SCISSORS informing him that he is rated at
100000. This little note Mr.. Bonner
calls ga prize essay on the benefits of
advertising" for to that he attributes his
success, and by that he means to quad
ruple his fortune. He says:
1t certainly shows in more forcible
manner than any other document have
seen how fortune can be made in a
short space of time, especially as my
personal estate last year was assessed on
ly at two thousand dollars. But | have
no idea of paying taxes on one hundred
thousand dollars of personal PROPERTY
Rather than contribute" so large an
amount towards the support of the nu-
merous scoundrels who plumber the City
treasury, | have concluded to expend it
IN advertising. But, perhaps, you may
say that this will only prove temporary
relief, as advertising will doubtless in
crease it fourfold, and, instead of being
taxed for one hundred thousand dollars
next year, | may be taxed for four hun
dred thousand.

1Ionumemt to Col. McClung.-We
learn with pleasure that there is propo-
sition on foot in this city, to build mon
ument to the memory of the gallant and
chivalrous Col. Alexander X. McClung,
of the First Regiment of Mississippi
Volunteers. Wherever genius and cour-
age are appreciated the name of Me-
Chung will be honored, and we have no
doubt that the proposition to build a
monument to mark the spot where all
that is mortal of his gallant and daring
spirit repOses, will be warmly seconded
by our fellow-citizens. At no point in
the State was Col McClung more adj
mired. No where were his fine mental
and personal qualities more highly APP
preciated, and in doing deserved honor
to his memory, our people will be honor
ing themselves. His ashes rest with us
they are precious legacy which duty
and honor enjoin us to guard with care,
and we know no manner in which we can
more fittingly express our appreciation of
our high trust, than by rearing monu-
ment to mark the spot where sleeps the
bravest of the brave"

week or two ago, and we now reinsert

young lady by clipping it from some pa
per, we've forgotten which one, and hand

are suspicioned of an intention to be I'M

Going tile mhole Hog.--Great prepa-
rations are being made by the aspirants
before the county convention, for the ac-
commodation of their many friends, who
are expected to be in attendance on that
eventful day. We have heard of one
who designs chartering the Kosciusko Ho-
tel, thinking that this policy will save his
friends from expense, and will tend to pre-
pare and animate them to fight success
fully the Kilkany fight which is to take
place in the county convention; on the
I'd Monday in April. What is being done
by the Independent candidates, we are
unable to say, but we fear they are en-
gagged in sowing seeds of discord in the
inks of the harmonious democracy
