good weather, the crop of Chester District will be
good. D.

York road JOHN MCKEE, Jr., is building about
half o mile West of the Court House, on the red
hill and Capt. ALEXANDER WALKER, some half
mile North Other residences have been built

The mechanics are lourishing here also. The
steam engines are putting away every day. MIR.

"rHERE's NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL"

0THERE'S NO SUCH WORD AS FALL
BY SAMUEL L. HAMMOND.
Many faint hearts, when great deeds lie before
them, and difficulties present seemingly impassa-
BILE BARRIERS instead of going to work with patience
energy and fixed determination to surnnount
them all-grcw pale, tremble and give vent to,
"but if we should fail! ?" or, 81 can't" and such
like puerile expressions
This feeble spirit the immortal Band of Avon
deservedly rebuked, though I regret that it fell
not from other lips than those of the blood stained
Lady Macbeth; who, when her husband having
determined to murder the kind old Duncan snd
seize upon the kingly crown, grew faint, and asks
ssif we should fail :" exclaims with an energy de-
serving of better cause: "We fail! Screw your
courage to the sticking point and De'H NOT fdiH'
Perseverance and Determination are unacquain-
ted with the word the bright lexicon Of Youth
contains it not, and Manhood and Hope acknowl-
edge no such monosylable as fail! But deter
mine upon success, have the will to attain il, and
a way will be found by which it can be achieved.
Rain falls from the variegated curtains Of the
mellow tinted sky, in sparkling globlets, one by
one, and yet, almost within the waning of moon
in that short space, the little golden span of
time which eacompassed the rising and setting
of the sun for two.score times, the fresh, green
valleys, the sturdy oaks, the stately pines, the
the tall and graceful waving cedars of Lebanon,
and all the luxuriant beauty Of the forrest the
little hills and giant mountains, the mighty cities
with their lofty spires and towers, all-were sub
merged. The world, so glorious and bright, with
all its natural grandeur and sublmity, and the
superb splendor of its artificial magn6cence, was
completely inundated. Save the lone Ark, which
rode upon the trouble waters in solitude, bearing
under the guidance of Noah, two of each of the
different tribes and species of the animal kingdom,
which the AIl-wise had reserved from universal
destruction for the workings of the future naught
met the eye at every turn, but an immeasureable
expanse of water below, with the blue vaulted and
star be-spangled heavens above Not one green
leaf; not one bud, or flower remained, on which
the weary eye might rest and become refreshed
from the continued upheavings of the waters, and
the oppressive loneliness of the scene-the end
less seeming monotony of sky and sea.
How wise, all-powerful and yet mysterious to
man, seem the works of the great Creator. Here
is set an example; for as rain falls little by lit
tie, so may we accomplish the most difficult task
if we but set about it with determination to per-
severe until our efforts be crowned with the glo
rious wreath of success! And as each falling
drop-each crystalline rain-jewel descends and
swels the waters, increasing their depth, so will
each good action of our lives swell the store of
happiness and increase the depth of our joy.

The Cotton Crop.-The Liverpool correspon-
dent of the Savannah Republican furnishes the
annexed information which will prove highly in
teresting to the Cotton planting community.
Peoples minds are made up as to next years
cron. and total of four millions is considered
probable. should not say at what price Great
Britain will be content to take her quota, but the
prevailing opinions is that she will be obliged to
INV for it, more than she has done for the crop
that has just been delivered Many look for
scarity of cotton later on, but this seems to be
more than counterbalanced by the belief that the
crop will be early and large.
spinners are too bare of stock to allow q drop
in nrices here; but until stock is considerably
reduced, can see no prospect Of real activity,
but continuance Of haud-to-mouth buying on
the part of Manchester.

the Presbytery proceeded Tin 0ctober) and unlaw-
fully inflicted upon him the high censure Of dspo-
sition. And this is what "Reuchlin" means when
he says, Sand in October following, he was solemn
ly deposed from the gospel ministry" But it
must surely be apparent to any unprejudiced
mind, that the action of the Presbytery, under tho
circumstances, was both unreasonable and power
less.
Thus, Mr.. Editor, have shown that Mr.. Davis
was neuer lawfully suspended-that he was nerer
lawfully deposed. If these thing were not done
lawfully, they were not done at all. Why! Sim
ply because the bodies called "Presbytery" at
Hopewell, and at Rama, were wanting in the ele.
ments of Presbytery and because they had Of
consequence no power to perform any acts of dis
