Mr. STURGEON ON SLAVERY AND OPEN Con-
MUNIoN.-Mr Corey, the New York friend and
correspondent of Spurgeon, who was the agent ill
inducing him to promise visit to this country is
reported by correspondent of the Boston Journal
to have made the following remarks in his dis
course of last Sunday evening:
81 have been questioned by large number of
persons, said 1r Corey, lin regard to the proposed
visit of Mr. Sturgeon to America" Several of
our brethren have said to me: "Now if Mr. Spur
geon comes on here and breaches in favor of open
communion, with his great eloquence and power,
he will throw confusion into our churches, and we
cannot stand against him. while Others equally
anxious, want to know ''if he will NEEDLE with the
topic of slavery" To this Mr. Corey said "When
Mr. Spurgeon reaches America he will preach on
any and all bjects that may please him. And
wien you can chain the forked lightning, and con-
troll the current and roar of Niagara, then and not
till then, can you put lock those youthful lips
or dictate what Sturgeon shall say to those as
sembled to hear him."
Some of the New York papers say that Spurgeon
will strongly advocate the abolition of slavery

sPARTANBURG FEMALE COLLEGE.

Lately, while travelling in the lower part of the
State as Agent for the Spartanburg Female Col
iege was met at several places, and especially In
the city of Charleston, by various rumors serious
" injurious to the institution As the reports were
all vague, and often conflicting, | found it impos-
sibe to ascertain truly all the facts in the case,
and therefore thought it best to hasten home and
to investigate them as best might for myself.
There was still some excitement in the COM
munity when l arrived; but reaction had already
commenced, favorable to the College and its adj
ministratlOn.
| soon learned that the Board of Trustees had
held several meetings. had patiently, carefully and
impartially examined the whole list OF complaints;
had visited the College in person, In order to learn
every thing they could, both from teachers and
pupils and while in possession Of all the intorma-
ton possible to be procured, they had unanimous
Iy affirmed the innocence of the parties accused,
and that the charges were false and unfounded.
They therefore resolved to sustain the President
and Faculty in the administration of the school.
Since my return, | have made free inquiry, have
learned all could both in the College and out of
the College, from the Faculty and pupils, and
among the citizens. | have had free and full con-
versation with the Trustees both in private and in
a meeting Of the Board for the purpose of canvass
ing anew the whole matter and the result is a
strong conviction that the allegations not sus-
tanned.
The Trustees are good and true men, true to the
cause of God, the Church and the Institutions of
the Church, upon whom the friends and patrons
of the College abroad may with safety rely. They
regard the present Faculty of the S. f. College as
able, efficient and worthy of all confidence.
The Trustees are determined to sustain the In
sttution. Six OF them have daughters in it. They
think the discipline of the school has been more
thorough and the progress Of the pupils more
gratifying during the last, than in any former SEES
sion; and now that new session has just COM
menced l do most earnestly hope the friends of
the college, and the members of the Church abroad
will not forsake us, in this the time of our trial,
but will help us now when need your sympa-
thics your prayers and your patronage. Never have
we been so largely patronized at home as now.
We have eighty-four young ladies i'll the institu-
ton. A German teacher Of very superior talents
has been engaged for the musical department.
And we think there is no ground of apprehension
whatever, as to its peace and prosperity, if our
brethren and the Church will pray, earnestly and
frequently pray, for their College.

the following ridiculously boastful style.
"Now fellow citizens l have responded to your
call have fully and clearly explained to you my
opinions on this subject, and if there is in
this vast assembly who disputes my conclusions or
denies my premises, l should like to see him. Let
him rise up and object to anything | have said if
he cam defy opposition! challenge debate"
Having thus challenged the whole world and
the rest of mankind to a forensic encounter, he
took his seat with an air of triumph that Napoleon
never manifested, and probably never felt. He
was for moment loudly applauded, but as the
applause died away, a rough looking countryman
full six feet high, in his shirt sleeves in the out
skirts of the crowd stretched himself at full length
and said
Colonel Toombs-I am no orator, and I'm not
gwine to try to make speech agin great man
like you. You remind me of young mule l was
trying TO brake yesterday mornin'.
1t was long time before could get him out n
the stable. Just like it was long before We could
git you to speak. After working with him an
hour or two, We slipped rope around his neck,
and after while another one, l put two niger
fellows to hold the ropes, and opened the stable
and out he comes a raring and pitching. He
Jared and pitched, and tore around with the
mggers holding of him for while. Presently
he began to kick and to squeal, and he kicked and
he squealed, and he squealed and he kicked, until
everything was blue; and his eyes seemed to pop
out, and to my life, Colonel, l couldn't tell
whether he was kicking at his squcals, or squeal-
ing at his kicks. Your speech Colonel reminds
ME of that mule.
