SLOAN ON SLAVERY.

We have on our table neatly printed work, OF
800 pages, entitled "The Grent Question Answer.
ed: or, is Slavery Sin in itself?-auswered sc-
cording to the Teaching Of the Scriptures" by
JAS. A. SLOAN, A.. NJ. published in Memphis,
Tennessee. Mr.. SLOAN, as many Of our readers
know, is distinguished minister Of the Associate
Reformed Church, resident in Mississippi = and
he has heretofore, on many occasions, proved him
self equal to the important task devolved upon
him in the work before US.
We are indebted for our copy, to DR.. ". B.
BARRON, the agent for this District, who is pre-
pared to supply the work upon application to him
at Clay Hill, P. o. A few copies have been left
with our publisher Mr.. GRIsT-at ST..
We trust that other engagements will permit us
to dizcuss at large the merits Of Mr. SLoAN's
well-considered argument. Meantime, every in
telligent citizen should possess and read it care
fully. We presume that no one needs to be con-
frmed in his opinions upon this subject; but
where 50 much is at stake-where an institution
peculiarly interviewer with our cialsystem, must
be defended at every hazard-it would be we'll
for every one to be ''thrice armed" In preparing
Southern sentiment against encroachments which
are daily made from without Mr.. SLoAN's book
will do timely and most valuable service. Get

rHK CAROLINA m1SsrRELs:

We attended the Concert at RosE's Hotel ON
Tuesday evening; and being actuated rather bs
q desire to sspatronize home industry" we were
very agreeably surprised, both in the numbers OF
the auditory and tbs character of the perforznan-
ces. The company, composed Of young men 'of
our own town and Chester, have been on their tour
but sxo weeks4 and, yet. they, afford an enter
tainment which would compare favorabfy with the
best performances we have heGrd in the peculiar
ly American art Of negro minestrelsy. Several
pieces we're sung admirably "Bones" ratified

himself; the dancing ives particularly well dOnes
and, indeed, every part Of the performance wasi'
good taste, eapitally executed, and applApdsd
heartily. The company have certainly achieved .
decided success, and deserve the unstiuted praise
bestowed upon them on every hand. -.
With little. more practice. the Carolina Min
strels can successfully challenge comparison Bith
any similar company in the country. We wish
them the utmost good fortune, upon the tour they
have undertaken !; and to all who felish 20 little
folly now snd then" and especially to our breth.

Prize Money, and the "Echo.''

The statements, with which We have hitherto
metin reference to the disposition of the SLAYER
tEcho," and the amount Of prize money accord.
ing to those who were directly Instrumental ID

misapprehension Of the.case. Deriving our, in
formation from the most authentic source, We
may, perhaps, be alberto state the real course
which will be taken in the matter. > - : -
The United States marshal for South Carolina
gave Lieutenant Mafit q receipt for BOG Africans.
for which number S25 per head, amounting in oil
to $1,000, will be awarded rs prize-money to the
flag officer Of the home squadron aud the officers
and crew Of the Dolphin. This sum will be dis:
tributed as follows: the flag officer receives one
twentieth, the commanding officer Of the Dolphin
two.twentieths, and the balance IL distributed.to
the other officers and the crew Of the Dolphin,
according to rank and rate. It is doubted, how
ever, whether the flag officer (Commodore- Mcln-
tosh) is entitled to ene-twentieth, as be was 90.

capture. This question will doubtless be deter
mined by the Attorney General. -"

will be sold at public auction. Half of the pro-
ceeds win be taken by the Government, according
to-a special provision of low, and devoted to the
naval pension fund. The other half viii De; d.

ia prize money is distributed: Eighteen Of the

Redundanoe OF MONEY,

Europe is about to experience that plethora Of
money which is too often the precursor Of specn.
lation. From the statement, however, Of on Eeg:
lish correspondent of New York journal, the
parties who are embarrassed with this plethora
Of CASH ore at loss on which side to turn for in
vsstments. Interest Of money has fallen to per
cent per snnum, and there are Fears of its falling
lower He writes with regard to rail roads:
.aThe public are still diepossd to be extremely
wary % regards enterprises which depend in my
way upon the honesty Of engineers, contractors,
or directors. Foreign loans also would find very
limited favor. Mining spoculations have for years
been hopelessly out Of credit, and the same znay
be said with respect to land and celonization
schemes. Steamship companies would not be
looked at for moment, and joint stock banks
are in still worse odor." -.

Nesy Kind. OF Steamer.

The noveIsteamship built by the Messrs. Wi
mans, Baltimore, to cross theoeear ID six days, is
being launched. The process is . slow one, the
vessel being launched sideways, and is moved
down her ways BY the force Of two large screws,
ct the rate Of about 6vs feet per hour. Monday
afternoon she had reached the edge of the wharf,
or about twenty five feet from her original posi-
tiop. She was then about sixty or seventy feet
from the end of the ways. This queer looking
craft attracts o great deal Of notice. The Baiti-
more Sun describes the propelling machinery as
follows: - -
"Take plain fat ring of your finger and run
it on the middle OF cigar upon which it Is to re-
yolvs freely by power applied inside, which in
the vessel consists Of four steam engines placed
aWidships, Now to- this ring attach at equal
distances all around it, fapges set ct an angle a.
dapted to aot upon the water as propellers, strl-
king the water BY the swift and powerful revolu-
ton Of the wheel around the body Of the vessel.
This wheelis covered all around by belt Of iron
broad enough to enclose the wheel and extend
some four feet on each side beyond It; this belt
is supported by plates Of iron standing edeewise
from the surface Of the vessel to which they are
riveted. These plates ofiron divide the space un-
der the belt on each side Of the wheel into COM
partments, and those compartments above the wa
ter line are again closed at the side next the
wheel, shutting it entirely from view. Below the
water line they are Of course open to admit the
free action Of the wheel upon the water"

; RETHEL PREsBYTERY.
rss Mr.. Editor :--Asit was my delighted privilege
to be in attendance upon Bethel Presbytery OF its
recent sttipgs at Salem Church, in Union District
I.win give you few. dottings and you. can hand
them out to your friends ifyou wish. a portion
of the Presbytery responded to the invitation -0f
the Pastor ofthe Church, to convene and spend
one day previously, in religious services.
On the I'd instant, Rev. 8. L. WA1sos, Modera-
tor, opened Presbytety with Sermon from Acts,
l6: 1S.
The Presbytery was then organized, and consis'
ted Of thirty -one membersAthirteen Ministers and
eighteen Elders. Rev. D.: HARRISON was chosen
MODERATOR, and Rev Jso: 8. 'HARnls, Clerk.
Besides the regular routine Of business, Pres
bytery adopted paper approving the suggestion
to meet at Sumter, one day before the Synod OF
South Carolina, to engage in religious services.
The reports from different churches upon the
state of religion, were most encouraging.
One new church, near Lancasterville, called
"Douglsss," has been organized since Spring, and
now reports more than thirty members. . : :
Two churches in York District, each report the
addition Of more than thirty COMMITMENTS since
the Spring Meeting. Two others, one in York
and the other in Chester, each report about t~en'
ty. three accessions in the game time. Many
others specified an increase of from eight to
twelve. - - 90 v -.. --..
The totol additions arc more than two hundred
in six months, and some large churches have not
