were universally ~revered, and he was already q
chief among the historic worthless of Virginia.
Nevertheless, he was reduced to the sad necessity
Of giving up his property 20 the satisfaction OF
creditors, and Of removing to another State, that
he might enjoy protection under the roof of n gem
erous descendant. In n short time after his resi-.
dence in New York, he died, it is snid, OF vexation
at the delay in allowing n long-stnnding claim Tor
a balance on an adjustment OF his accounts WIN
the Government.
After twenty-five years Of repose in another
State, to-day the remains of James Monroe Will
be deposited in the soil of his nativity. Virginia,
who silently witnessed the exile OF the aged pa
triot, and make no effort to tighten his sorrows, now
receives his bones with every demonstration Of
respect for bis memory. The contrast is striking
and instructive, between the pageant OF to-day
and the spectacle of the old man vending his soil
tary way with ~tottering step to a distant State
covered with glory but clad in poverty, surfeited
with applause but wanting the means Of a decent
livelihood, renowned in history for the exploits
of his craftsmanship and his valor, but neglected
at home in the o~bscurity of helpless old age
Such are the freaks of fortune-such the capri
cious gratitude of Republics. The associates OF
the living Monroe in Virginia, administered no
relief to his necessities, but suffered him to sub.
sist in q distant land upon the bounty Of q gener-
erous benefactor. A generation passes away, and
the ashes of the dead patriot are reclaimed by his
native State, with an ostentation of homage and
munifcence of expenditure that would have glad
dened his soul and alleyiated the burdens OF his
declining years. These posthumous honors can
not compensate the neglect of our fathers, but
they attest our own appreciation Of the personal
virtues and public services which are imperishably
associated with the name Of James Monroe
The South.

The Rite OF Observation-Disclosures.

We have been favored during the past week with
n visit from the Rev. DR.. Jacobs, n learned Jewish
Rabbi, of Philadelphia, late Of Charleston, who
came in our midst to perform the rite of circumcis-
ion, in the family of Mr.. Winestock, of our village.
A number of our citizens availed themselves of the
kind invitation of that gentleman to witness the
performance Of the Ceremony; and were Hospitality
received and very highly entertained. The cere-
mony itself occupied, we suppose, about 10 or 10
minutes; it commenced and closed with n He
brew chant, in which the I~sraelites present all par
ticipated; and was performed with all the i'm
prcssiveness of a solemn religious rite.
Upon its conclusion, the company present were
invited to partake of a bountiful repast, consist
ing of n choice variety of cakes, fruits. wines, &C.,
to which We all did ample justice. Before leaving
the table, Mr.. Jones proposed the health Of DR..
Jacobs, whom he designated as a worthy repre-
sentative, of the fathers of the Church, the ancient
Rabbis, and the learned Doctors of the Law. This
evoked, from that gentleman, one of those elo-
quent outbursts of feeling, which gush spontane-
ously from the well.spriugs Of genius and sensi-
bility. Whilst approaching the compliment, he
felt himself unworthy, he said, to appropriate it.
And sketching graphically the prominent charac.
~teristics of the Hebrew leaders, prophets, priests,
and kings, he disclaimed any kinship, save in a
devotion to the same ritual, the same faith and
the same hopes.
At the urgent solicitation of several Of our citi-
zens, DR.. Jacobs was induced to deliver. in the
Court House, on two different evenings, Lectures
on 1.-THE Character of the Jew" and 'Moses the
Hebrew Law-giver." These were congenial
to which the Lectures did full justice and they
were well received. The character of the Jew
was sketched in truthful outline, and his history
exhibited, in all the strange vicisitudes Of his
%eventful career--onoe the victim everywhere Of
persecution, and bearing a nam which was sy-
nonymous with everything vile and opprobrious,
he has nevertheless been true to the instincts of
his race and to the creed of his fathers ; has re-
manned a distinct people, though scattered in eve.
ry land; and after secretly controlling the sinews
of commerce, and the civilization of the world,
has at last begun to aspire after political honor
and p%referment. The Lecture on the Hebrew
Law. giver, was worthy of the theme, and was such
a tribute as On ~sdmirins disciple might we'll a.
ward to one of the brightest and purest charac.
tiers in history.-AbbeuiHe Press.

PRINTING ON Both SIDES AT ONcE.--An extra
of the New York Sun, and experimental number,
has just been issued from. the ST.. dfiue, printed
on both sides at anoe. The Sun says the inven-
ton by which this marvel was achieved, has been
patented by NJ. 8. Beach, and consists of an i'm
provement on Hoes 'last fast" by which the
second form takes the place of the balance weight,
on the type drum. The sheet, after being printed
on one side, in the usual way, is immediately drawn
back and printed on the other side, from this Sec
ond form. One special advantage gained IS in
thus drawing back the sheet without checking or
changing the ordinary motion Of any part of the
press. The speed of the press thus remains un.
dimished, while the amount of work done by it is
doubled. Some time ago Mr.. Beach offered a
prize of $4,000 to any Gersau who would invent
q prsss 10 print both sides at once, together with
some other improvements connected with q print
ing apparatus, and strange to say, he is the first
man to claim the reward for having invented the
press to do it on.

Honor to whom Honor Is Due.

we are always pleased to see eny indication
nom abroad ofthe appreciation OF worth and tai
ent in any citizen of our own State. We are, or
should be, one great brotherhood, bound together
for the promotion Of a great common cause, In
which all are alike interested, and anydistinguish-
ed honor conferred upon one of our fellow-cltizens
by on influence beyond our borders, should be re-
garded, in some degree, as o compliment to the
stats, spd all should participate in the feelings Of
pride at its b~estowment.
We have been led to this train of thought by
p~ersuing the published proceedings of the Nation
al Division of the Sons of Temperance of North
America, which convened at Indianapolis, Indi-
ana, on the 18th Of June last, from which we learn
that B. D. Townsend, Esq, Of Bennettsville, S.
c., was elected NJ. W. Patriarch, receiving thir-
ty-three votes, and was elected on the first ballot,
though there we're hut fourteen representatives
from the Southern States. Mr.. Townsend did
not seek the position to which he has been promo
ted, and stood aloof from the contest. In fact,
he declined to be considered a candidate, and re-
uuested his friends to withdraw his name; but
thew knew their man, and declined to comply with
his modest request, insisting that his election
would be for the general good of the Order. His
opponents were both Northern men, and men of
character and VortL, and devoted to the cause Of
Temperance.
Mr. Townsend Is, in fact, the workingman Of
the order, and perhaps ranks next to the venerable
O'Neall, in the good he has accomplished, and
the amount of earnest, efficient labor he has given
to the cause. He should be warmly and %energeti-
cally supported in South Carolina, where he has
so MANY active and ardent friends both in and out
of the order. Under his administration it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that a new and encouraging impe-
Jus will be given to the order, and that the two
ensuing years may be distinguished by the tri-
umphs and onward march of the cause Of Temper
ance Throughout the jurisdiction of the National
Division of North America. With o man at its
head so famous for untiring diligence and perse-
yering labor in the ranks, VIC may confidently pre-
dict that he Sill infnse some of his fearless prin.
siples and indomitable spirit into the rank and
Tile, and send them forth with renewed energy and
zeal, to battle for the cause of temperance, virtue,
and the cause of humanity. HOWARD.

Verdict OF Damages.

We learn from the Augusta Caraa':tionGis' that
tie case of John A. Moore, of the Fashion line of
steamboats,, against the South Carolina Railroad
Company, was decided on Thursday, by awarding
to the plaintiff the sum Of Twenty-Five thousand
nine hundred and ninety-two dollars and seventy
one cents. This case was instituted to recover
damages from the railroad company for obstructing
the navigation of the Savannah river by the erec-
ton of the railroad bridge. The matter was cub
mitted to the award Of arbltrator5, who assessed
the damages to the above amount With the
lights before us this seems to bea singular verdict.
South Carolina and Georgia both needed this bridge
connection and, without some actual damages were
sustained, the suit against the Company was cer-
tainly in bad taste, to say the least of it.-Colnm-
bia Guardian.

The steamer kHkaa Is In with three days later

CON scarcely be any improvement in Charleston, as

REVENUE FROM ToBAcco.-Statistioal tables re-
Gently published show that the annual revenue
raised on tobacco in France amounts to about $40.
900, 900, and in England to about S23, 600, 900, or
to a total for both countries of about S43. 600, 900.
Nearly oil this is grown in the United States, and
by slave labor. Thus France derives one half of
her revenue from customs, and England one fourth
from the product of SLAVE labur Of America. What
q blessed condition they would all be in if their
short.sighted philanthropy could cut open the
goose that lays the golden egg!

Railroad from, Chester to ianeaster.

The Lancaster AeG9sr noticing the oommunica.
ton of one of its correspondents in relation to the
construction of a railroad from Lancaster C. H.,
to some point, urges the ~propriety of q public
meeting, to be held Mt that place on the first mon
day in August, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of building q road to Chester.
This would be a good connection for all parties,
and certainly there is wealth, as we'll as energy,
in the District of Lancaster to initiate an enter
prise that must prove conducive to he best inte-
pests Of her planters Gs we'll as to aid materially
In the development Of her resources. Lancaster
is one of the few districts of the State not favored
with railroad facilities. We hope the movement
suggested will be successful.
