Gerrit Smith.

A correspondence OF the New York Herale
gives an account of visit recently made BY
him to the house of Gerrit Smith, at Peterboro
Madison county, n. Y. he was informed tina
the house was guarded every night, for fear
Southern mob might carry Gerritt off. Other
persons said that the apprehension was not sc
much that Gerrit might be arrested, as that ht
might be shot-assassinated by some emissary
of Gov. Wise. Gerrit himself was in state O
high nervous excitement. When questioned a
bout the Harper's Ferry affair, he replied:
81 can't speak about it at all, am going tc
be indicted If any man in the Union is taken
it will be me. 1t would not be proper to say q
word about it. ought not to say one word.
am advised not to approach the subject at all
I am going to be indicted, sir, indictedI You
must not talk to me about it,"
There is wonderful degree of impudence in a
mans thrusting himself in another mans house,
to publish to the world all he sees and hears
there; but regular newspaper correspondent
is up to anything of the kind 1t is, however,
interesting to see what asalutary dread Gerrit
Smith and Fred Douglas have of GOV. Wise.

STATES OF THE CHURCH IN IrALY.-What
need there is Of reformation at Rome may be in
ferred from the fact that at the present day the
Papal States alone In Europe are without rail-
ways, with the exception of the one between
Rome and Civita Vecchia, and it is ONLY quite
recently that they have been allowed to possess
che electric telegraph. What chance there Is of
Justice, may be gathered from the statement that
there exists ian infnity of ecclesiastical TribG
Dals," which are forever usurpiDg the jnrisdic
ton OF the lay Tribunals; and there are sixty
eight bishops with their Wears, who are 10 pos
session of an authority which, ranging from the
Withholding of passports to indefinite iuprison-
ment, can at any moment override all the guar
tees of law, and make them so many permanent
and irresponsible dictators. What security of
life, limb, and property is there in State where
mere boys are condemned to twenty years in tie
hulks for displaying freworks2 As 10 religious

swer. But there Is another case, equally outra-
geous, though not so we'll known. At Cento,
in the Province OF Ferrara, there resided He
brew tradeslnan, by name Padova, who was
married, and was father of two children a
Christian clerk in his employment seduced Ma
dame Padova. Her husband discovered the
connection, and elected the clerk out of his office
Thereupon Madame Padova eloped with her
lover, carrying away also the two children. The
husband Immediately called upon the authorities
TO recover his children, when he was answered
that having embraced along with their mother
the Christian faith, they could not be left under
his infidel guardianship; and few weeks after
Madame Padova was publicly married to the
clerk by Cardinal Opizzo, Archbishop of Bo-
logna-the Hebrew husband being at the same
rime ordered to pay yearly sum for the main
tenauce of the children purloined by and re-

MIR. stuart,s Address.

We regret that pressure of other matter,
which could not we'll be postponed, has prevented
the publication of Mr.. Stuart's Address in our
columns this week. The first part of the adj
dress will appear in our next issue.
We have seldom known an address on any
subject to be so generally commended. Inc
National Intelligeneer, which publishes it in FULL
saws :-"No less well than fayorably known to
the country at large for his former lsbors IN the
public service, as particularly illustrated by his
enlightened management of the Interior Depart
nept during the Administration OF President
Fillmore, tic eloquent speaker will be fouud 70
have given proof In this address of the same va
ried intelligence and comprehensive patriotism
which he displayed IN the walks of public life
His counsels, besides having the merit OF being
eminently practical, cannot, we are sure, fall to
strike the reader as being equally judioious IN
point of political economy, while the candor and
moderation of their statement will command re-
spect even where they may not find an unchal-
lenged acceptance In a variety OF topics dls
cussed with equal ability it may seem unneces-
sary to signalize any as worthy OF especial al
tention, but we may sag, With orr contemporary
the Richmond Wing, that the portion in which
Mr.. Stuart discusses the economical relations o.
the diversified forms of labor employed in diff
ferent parts of the Union should receive, as il
deserves, the candid consideration of the public
mind in all sections of the land.a

TIE AMERICAN MINISTER IN CHINA.-Late and
authentic advieeS from China disprove the story
that the American Minister, Mr.. Ward, had beer
conveyed to Pekin in a close box and treated as
a prisoner. The ''chariot" in which Mr.. Ward
and Commodore Iatnail Travelled is thus de-
described: The body was about 6 feet long by
three wide, aud 4 high from the floor to the tor
inside. The entrance was In the front, the Min
lister, Commodore, and all, being obliged ts
climb over the shaft, and then climbing IN beau
foremost, adjust body, arms, and legs, according
to the space they had to occupy. This butchers
cart of vehicle was chariot in the eyes OF the
Chinese, alike of the governors, mandarins and
peasants, though not like the one in whicf
Sisera fought, and royalty, going on excursions
was wont to conceal itself from the gaze OF NOR
tails.
The two travellers, it is said enjoyed the novel
ty of the thing. As there were no seats in the
vehicles, they were content, or rather obliged
to seat themselves on the floors, which, how
lever, were comfortably cushioned, with body
and legs st right angles. To add to the re-
membranes OF these stage coaches, If not to the
pleasure of their motion, the shafts rest On THE
axle without springs, and the tires Of the wheels
instead of the even surface Of the American
have projections like the cogs in wheel. The
constant ioltpg of such vehicle is Of course
any thing but agreeable. 1t was drawn by 6
mule instead of horse, which, however, was
in good condition, aud harnessed in Europeal
and American style, and whose driver walked
by his side. So.

European News.

The steamer America has arrived at Halifax
and by telegraph we have foreign advices to The
22d uit. The Zurich treaty is mere ampltica'
ton of the Villafranca agreement. The rights Of
the Grand Dukes in Parma, Tuscany and Modens
are reserved. The position OF affairs in Italy ore
looked upon as seriously complicated, and an
outbreak liable to occur at any moment. Ihe
representation of Great Britain in the proposed
European Congress was opposed by the Times
and other influential London journals. The i'm
mense naval preparations making by France con
tinued to excite remark in England. The Allan.
tic trip of the Great Eastern had been postponed
Indefinitely. New experiments with the Attain
tic cable had been commenced at Valentia.
The steamer North America brings advices to
the 26th ult. Spain has declared war against
Morocco, 49,, 7er
The Paris correspondents of the London jour
mails indulge in gloomy forebodings. A writer
for the Herald states plainly that the impression
gained ground OF rupture between France and
England being imminent Several provincial
journals have published simultaneously violent
articles against England, which were known te
have been supplied by government Official
England is warned that her hour OF trial ap'
proaches which may put an end to her greatnes:
forever.
The strike of the London builders still contin
ued, and was telling seriously against the men
who have resolved to appeal to the public FOL
support. The recent returns show an excessive
mortality among families of the operatives, arc
there is reason to fear that scores are perishlne
of want.

.sCommon scolds.,


Some months ago woman was indlctea py

lately, and after hearing the arguments Oh coui,-
sell the Court ordered the indctmentto be quasn-
ed, on the ground that the Common Law reia
ting to this offence was obsolete in South Oaro-
lima. 80
Those of our readers who are not aware OF Tile
fact, will be interested to learn that the ola hns
fish law for ducking scolding women was once
in mil force in this county. On the 29th OF Au-
gust 1851. the Court of Augusta county ordered
the Sheriff to employ workman "to make
ducking stool for the use of the county according
TO law.n Blackstone says common scoid may

to be placed in certain engine OF correcuop
called the trebucket, csstigatory, or cacSang
stool. which in the Saxon language is said &c
signify the scolding stool; though now it Is ire
quently corrupted into ducEing stool, because 'le
residue of the judgment is, that, when she Is ~
placed therein, she shall be plunged in the wa
ter for her punishment" We cannot discover
from our county records that the penalty was
ever inflicted in this region, although there were
some "scoldsni in old times. 1t is recorded, May
II. 1854, that certanwomsn shaving come INTO

Resnlt ofthe Trial.

The trial of Capt. Brown at Chariestown nus
resulted as everybody anticipated IL wouiu' anu
the prisoner has been sentenced to Do huhg VI
tbe End of December tits probable, however,
+bat the case will be taken up to the court u
Appeals on point of law, and if the ooJecti0l Is
sustained new trial will be ordered. We lot
ons shall not regret any delay in the execution
of the sentence which the laws authorize, as We
wish the country to see that the State OF Vlrgln'
ia is acting calmly and deliberately, anu not un-
der the influence of passion or slsrm. % Iaf, tne
proceedings have been conducted In aaulirSOie
style, and Judge Parker is commended Gu al
hands for his dignity and impartlailty' We
sra clad that even the whims OF the prisoner
have been treated with the utmost foroeafan0e'
The State Guarantees fair trial to every man
accused of crime, aud that Brown nad Que nc -
Obliged himself to confess, notwithstanding nl'
complaints at the outset In his address 10 Ine
Court, when called upon as usual 10 say W!
sentence should not be pronounced, he rehsrN-
ed: 81 feel entirely satisfied with the trea''neu.
I have received on my trial. Considering al
the circumstances, it has been more generous
than expected"
The prisoner complained, however, OF his sen
tsnce, because he was convicted OF esplEal olien-
oes-treason, murder and conspiracy with ne
oroes-when he only intended peacefully 10 run
off slaves; and i'll lives were sacrlnced IL was 'ne
fsnlt of those who interfered with him! Such
an apology is, of course, very absurd, but "hy
did Brown provide so many rifles and pixies II
he did not contemplate violence and bloodshed
He was, no doubt, deceived in reference 10 the
assistance which he expected, both from the free
and slave States He calculated upon large ao'
cessions to his force from the North, as Oook
admits, and the fact that, after all his prepara'
tions for months beforehand, he eon!d muster
only seventeen white men and five negroes,
ooss far 10 prove that the number OF such tanar-
les, is very small. He also, according to his own
statement, expected assistance from Maryland,
Virginia and other slave States. Upon what
this expectation was founded does not appear
1t may be that he had read in the newspapers
the charges of aboltionism, or unsoundness upon
the slavery question, preferred against each 9TH
er by the two political parties, and that these
examinations and re-criminations, which are
well understood here, really induced him to be-
leve that hundreds of white men in the slave
States were prepared to join his Standard
Whether this be so or not, it is high time that
the sort ofparty warfare alluded to were discon-
tinued 1t is certainly calculated to do great In
jury, by giving aid and comfort to outside fanat-
icism.
