SLAVERY EXClTEMENT.-A mass
meeting Of citizens Of Taylor county,
Va, was held at. Boothsyille on the
9th inst, at which the following
among other resolutions were passed
unanimously
That the five Christian Advocates
published in the cities of New York,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
and Chicago, having become aboli-
ton sheets of the rankest character,
we ask our commemorative sattorneys
and postmasters to examine them,
and if they are found to be OF an
unlawful character, to deal with
them and their agents as the laws OF
our State direct.
That we ask as special favor OF
the M. E. Church North, and all
other churches that may consider
this country a part Of their moral
vineyard for the future, to send
among us only such ministers as
have wisdom and grace enough to
enable them to preach the Gospel
without meddling with the civi6n-
stitutions of our country.

Very funny stories are told of the
process Of serving call Of the U. s.
Senate, an hour or two after mid
night, on Senators who had gone
home and to bed. The Sergeant q
Arms, accompanied by carriages;
rode around the city and collected
the deserters, peace ably if he could,
but forcibly, if he must. Sam
Houston was captured at the Kirk
wood house, taken from his bed,
and carried growing TO the Capitol
When called upon for an excuse
for his absence, he gravely requested
the Senate to inform him what ex-
cuse it had to offer for the outrage
it had committed upon his per-
sonal rights, by dragging him
from bis bed at that untimely
hour. He protested that he would
not be pacified till the Senate
apologized to him. Senator Clay
of Alabama, kept the doors locked,
and defied the Sergeant at Arms
fatty refusing to obey the mandate
Generally, however, the absentoes
surrendered themselves with a good
grace, and a quorum was obtained
at 4 O clock in the morning.

THEATRICAL.

Some years ago the manager OF a
.well regulated theatre" ;" somewhere
along the Eris canal, engaged a good
looking and brisk young lady as
supernumerary. 1t happsned that
the young lady 10 qestion had fornI-
erly officiatsd in some capacity ASA
"hand" on board canal boat, q
fact which she was exceedingly anx-
ious to conceal. She eEinced much
anxiety to master the details OF her
newly chosen profession. and soon
exhibited more than ordinary
degree Of comic talent. She was
duly promoted, and in time became
the general iavorite with both mana
ger and public. One night she was
announced to appearing fayorite play;
a couple Of boatmeh found their way
into the pit, near the footlights, par
ticularly anxious to see the new ia

crowded; and, after the subsidenee

and ere long broke out again: II

Bill, who wasa good deal interest
ed in the play, was all out Of patience
at this persistent interruption on
the part of Tom. He gave him
tremendous nudge IN the ribs with
his elbow, as an emphatic hint for
him to "keep quiet"
Tom, without minding TIE admon-
ition, said: aYou just wait-pl
Fix her--keep your eye ON me. "
Sure enough, be did fix her.
Watching his opportunity when the
actress was deeply absorbed in her
part, he sang out in voice which
rang through the galleries: @Low

The affairs Of Salt Lake seem TO have settled
down In quiet; the Peace Commissioners have re-
turned 70 Washington; the health of the army is
good, aud Brigham Young is still head OF the
church. The most contradictory reports, how
ever, prevail as to the degree Of influence which
he now exercises over his deuded followers. Ac-
cordiug 10 some accounts there is great dsafecton,
and the life of the Prophet himself is IN danger
Other reports assert that he still maintains his
extraordinary ascendancy over his miserable
dnpes, and in fact, has managed to overreach Gov.
Cumming and the U. s. Government. In despite
the open, shameless and defiant rebellion of this
territory, which has compelled the United States
to send a large army, an immense distance, and at
an enormous expense the rebels, who held out till
the moment the bayonets of the United States
came In sight, were at once forgiven, without
single attempt to bring any OF them to justice.
Was ever such "a lame and imrotent conclusion?
In addition to their treason, they have been guilty
of innumerable robberies, murders and every spe-
cies Of outrage, yet not an arrest has been made,
not trial taken place. We wait with some curl
osty to see the official report Of the Peace Com
missioners. The whole subject will no doubt be
thoroughly Investigated during the next session
of congress, but we have not much confidence,
after the ignobe failure of the late colossal enter
prise, in any display Of firmuess and energy by
that body commensurate with the occasion.

Colonial seIfDefeuce.

Sir Ed. Lytton Buiwer, Principal British Score
tary of State for the Colonies, has put forth doc
umcnt, in the shape of a dispatch to Gov. Hamil-
ton, of the Leeward Islands, which has in view
the complete self-defence OF the whole Of the
British Colonies. The drain upon the British
army for men, consequent upon its late Eastern
renders it imperative that those dependencies
OF tho British Empire which have been deprived of
the protection of the British soldiery should main
tain small militia armies Of their own, both for
the purpose of resisting foreign invasion and put
ting d1wn domestic discord. 1t ia in view of these
facts that the Principal Secretary writes Govern
Hamilton to impress upon him the extreme
importance of raising aud maintaining, from local
resources, aud by local efforts, such military
force will by it's presence guarantee the safety.
dignity and internal peace Of the colony which
he governs; and he proceeds to say that on ref.
erence to the records orsst years. he has observed
that, In many of the West India Islands local
corps we're established, and efficiently kept up and
expresses his modification that these wise pre-
cautions have been laid aside from motives Of a
false economy.
1t appears, too, that the question of colonial
representation in the Imperial Parliament has
been mooted in some of the colonies.
