COMMUNICATED.
N. G. MILITARY INSTITUTE.

. fCoMMUNICATEDIi
N. G. MILITARY INSTITUTE.
We would call attention to the advertisement OF
the n. C. Military Institute, found in this weeks
paper.
Our Charlotte friends have certainly evinced
most extraordinary degree of liberality and ener-
gy in the prosecution Of this enterprise; and we
would congratulate them on their choice of ISu-
perintendent. Major D. q. HILL is, beyond ques-
ton, one of the Foremost men Of our country (;
and he has proved himself to be a most thorough
.ly accomplished instructor and disciplinarian.-
Under his severe and faithful instruction, wise
and firm rule, "Young America" will be stripped
of his pride selfsuficiency and self-will, and be
trained to habits of sober thought and obedience
to rightful authority. The prospectus promises
much in the way Of physical, mental, moral and
religious training, in both the Primary and Scien-
tifc Departments and we doubt not, the highest
expectations will be realized by the patrons. We
learn that already there has been quite number
of applications. This is just as we might have
expected. We would most heartily commend the
Institute to the liberal support Of generous and
appreciative public. A.

OUR EXCHANGES.

PETERsoN's MAGAz1NE.--In advance of all COM
petitors, "Peterson" has made its appearance on
our table. From the frontispiece to "the end"
it is laden with gems, ''like pearls at random
strung" In the way of engravings, the first thing
that attracts the eye, is the "Youug Ploughman'
two children pulling at cord attached to a
forked branch, and the third holding the handles,
with go-ahesd, determined, no-look-back air
Then comes the "Fashions ;" "The Road by the
Stream"-a wood engraving; the "Milan," the
"Emile" and the "Gossamer" Mantilla Children S
Dresses, and-but we can't tell all.
The letter press is worthy of attention. The first
article-"The Wages of Starvation" n"-is from the
pen Of Mrs. NJ. A. DENIsoN,-one of our con-
tributors. Turning over few pages, We fall on
nice piece of verse by MAUD IRv1Na-another
one of our friends-Hhich shall have place in
our columns at an early day. To enumerate all
the good things, will require more space than we
can spare. Price $2-published by C. J. PETER
SON, Philadelphia. We will supply the ENQUIRER

cHURCH AND TEMPERANCE.

In earlier days, there were the Associate Church
and the Associate Reformed Church, in the United
States. The former existed almost exclusively in
the North. When the Associate Reformed Church,
North and South, separated, the Northern branch
united with the Associate Church, and formed
what is now styled the "United Presbyterian
Church"
We make this statement, that the reader may
understand the origin of the suboined resolutions,
passed at the first General Assembly Of the "Uni-
ted Presbyterians," in Ohio, in May last. This
body has perhaps gone farther on the subject,
than any other Christian denomination has yet
ventured. One of their Standing Committees is on
Temperance! Think of that The great evil is
acknowledged by the Church; their duty in regard
to it is fully recognized their right and the policy
of making the evil subject to church discipline is
determined; and the Importance of constant
watchfulness, of continued supervision over the
reform as it progresses is made manifest and act
ed upon. In other words, the Northern branch
of the Associate Reformed Church is determined
this great moral reform; that they will cooper
ate, and if necessary lead the way and that moth
ing is foreign to the business of a Church, which
has for its aim and end the promotion of sound
morality, and the advancement of the vital inte-
rests of religion. Very good. Now, but one ques-
tion remains. Do their brethren in the South
intend to lag behind? 1t is high and noble e1-
ample, furnished by Christians kindred in blood
as well as in doctrine. Can sound reason be
found why duty, made so prominent there, can
be properly ignored here!
The Committee on Temperance made their re-
port, whereupon Rev. Dr. PRRssLY, (ofsouth Ca
rolina stock) offered an amendment to the resolu-
tions contained therein. The amendment was
adopted, and reads thus:
l. Resolued, That the business of manufaetur.
ring and vending Intoxicating drinks, for drink
ing purposes is injurious to the best interests Of
society, and therefore inconsistent with the law
Of God, which requires, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as tbyself."
g Resolvrd, That the use of intoxicating drinks
as beverage, has atendency to lead to intem-
ance, and in most, if not in all cases, results in
in intemperance in a greater or less degree, and,
therefore, is inconsistent with the law Of God.
which not only forbids all sin, but all the "causes,
means, occasions and appearances thereof, and
provocatons thereunto."
8. ResolUed, That church sessions have full au-
thorty, and it is their duty, to enforce the prin
cple of total abstinence where, in the exercise of
sound discretion, they have reason to believe
that the safety of the individual and the honor of
religion require it.
4. Re,olved, That the practice Of renting houses
to be occupied by those who are engaged in the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks to be
used as beverage or for any immoral purpose,
is utterly inconsistent with the honour of the
Christian religion.

paper mills, owned by Messrs. Froneberger, on
Buffalo Creek, the body Of Richard Dogwood
(whose residence is near the mills was discovered
by children close to the road on passing the spot
to the school house. -
Our informant states tbat Mr.. Dogwood was
bachelor, and well to do in the world; that judg.
ing by the appearance of the body the murder
must havebeen committed on Sunday last; thathis
head was shockingly crushed, the murderers haT-
ing used rails and knots Of wood for the purpose,
as they were found in the neighborhood Of the
body stained with blood; that the body had been
dragged q short distance from the road into the
bushes, for conceslment. The impression pre-
walls, (says our informant,) that one Of the ne
groes Of the deceased, assisted by negro from
neighboring plantation, committed the revolving
act, but up to the time of leaving the mills the
cause of the murder had not been ascertained-

CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL.

The first Annual Catalogue Of this Aourishing
Institution has been sent to US by our friends
DAVIDSON & BRuMBY, the Proprietors. 1t is neat

school, and vouched heartily for the ability, the
industry, the patient perseverance, the elevated
tone and character of its accomplished Principals.
We know them intimately, and esteem them Wor-

MRS. MARY A. DENISoN.

1t is an old superstition, in New England, that
under the wall of the chamber of death, beating
or ticking can be heard like that of clock. Our
esteemed contributor Mrs. NJ. A. DENIsoN has
embalmed the touching thought in beautiful YER
ses, which we publish on the outside page.
Our readers will be pleased to learn that we
have engaged this accomplished authoress as an
occasional contributor. Those conversant with
the current literature Of the country have not
failed to accord to her pen very high apprecia-
ton. Her writings are copied extensively, and
for their pure moral tone, for the spnobling chris
tian examples they set FORTH for the touching pa
thos with which they abound, and the almost
faultess style in which they are couched they are
not easily exceled in our day. Mrs. DEN1soN
has sent US beautiful story entitled "Star," with
which we shall regale the ENouIRER's friends,
after the inheritance" of certain fabulous in
dividual is determined.
STAR is one of the authors best productions

Forty Thousand People at a Prayer Meet

Forty Thousand People ut a Prayer Meet
ing.
The Edinburgh Witness gives the subjoined &C
count of very remarkable prayer meeting, prob
ably the largest ever held since the dawn Of the
Christian era. Wepresume that the numbers are
somewhat exaggerated, as other papers do not
place them higher than from twenty to thirty
thousand.
GA great union prayer meeting, in connection
with the present remarkable movement, was held
in the open air, in Belfast, ireland, on Wednesday
forenoon, at halfpast II o'clock. IT. order to ac-
comodate all parties, the use Of the spacious
grounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens was OBJ
tanned for holding the meeting; and, as it ts we'll
known that many persons from the surrounding
country were desirous to be present. special trains
of uncommon length were run by the different
railway companies. Some idea Of the interest
felt may be imagined when we state that tits com.
puted that no fewer than fifteen thousand indi-
viduals arrived in Belfast, and that from thirty
FIVE to forty thousand persons in oil were present
at the services. The leading streets of the town
presented, during midday, q most remarkable
aspect particularly after the arrival of trains.
The footways were literally thronged with we'll
dressed and respectable looking people from the
country-not passing along with the negligent
and easy y-gong air Of pleasure-seeking excursion
lists, but staid and solemn in demeanor-the youn.
ger as we'll as the elder; and the majority with
bibles or hymn books in their hands, as. if pro-
ceedng to Sabbath service. On they passed TO-
wards the place of meeting, passed the glittering
rows of gorgeous shops, and through the fashion
able thoroughfares. Thus the living stream-and
such stream was never before witnessed in Bel
FAST poured onwards for at least two hours, along
both sides of the street.
"The scene in the garden grounds is said by
the Banner Of Ulster to have been one of the most
striking, as well as impressive and animating, ev,
er witnessed in the province. The whole space
within view from any point was as closed pack
ed as it was well possibly for it to be-. Even the
branches of the trees were taken advantage Of
by numbers ofthe junior members of the audience,
as the most suitable situation for seeing and hear
ing; and there, while the sounds Of the praise were
rising from the multitude below, these young
worshippers were heard joining in song and
thanksgiving. Nothing of holiday levity, nothing
of the thoughtless mirth of youth, was manifest
among these; their attention was as marked, and
their conduct as we'll ordered, as that of any per-
sons in the vast assemblage. Both as regarded
its magnitude, and the deep solemnity and earnest
spirit that pervaded it, themeeting 10 said to have

The Jeps in America.-From lecture deliv-
cred by DR.. Morris J. Franklin, in Providence, on
Sunday evening, and reported in the Providence
Evening Press, we gather some facts in relation
to the Jews in the United States. The Jews in this
country, the speaker said, now number about two
hundred thousand. The attention of the Jewsin
Europe is turned towards America, on account of
the persecution to which they are subjected in
some countries on the continent, and rapid in
crease of their numbers here may be be expected
by immigration. Many Jews in this country are
occupying prominent and influential positions in
politics and business. Messrs. Yulee and Benja-
min, of the United States Senate, and Messrs.
Zollcoffer, Oliver, Phillips and Hart, OF the Ma
tional House of Representatives, are numbered a.
mong the children of Abraham. Instead OF read
ing the Scriptures in the Hebrew tongue, under;
stood only as the Rabbi interpets it, many now
use the English version. This class have intro
duced many reforms into their mode of Worship
they now have their choirs, their organs and their
Sabbath Schools. The Hebrew Christians, the
converted Jews in this country, numbes fhree or
four hundred, and of this number nearlyone hun
.dred are engaged in preaching the GospelSof
Christianity, or in q course of study preparatory
to doing so.

They cannot procure even one fourth OF the s20,-

II place Of fAeeting-Some of the Northern jour
nails are making ridiculous fuss about the up-
heathfulness of Charleston at the season appoint
ed for the meeting of the Democratic Convention.
Every one in South Carolina, and many in adjoin-
ing States, know that Charleston is rs healthy in
May and June as any Atlantic city in the Union.
" 1t is strange that three years have passed since
Charleston was fixed upon as the place of meet
ing, and that the wiss-aeres have just found out
that it is dangerous to visit Charleston in the
Spring. The true secret of the objection is that
the political climate Of that city is 'notat all ia
vorable to the doctrines enunciated by Senator
Douglas. Before his letter we never heard any
thing about the unheathiness Of Charleston in the
months Of May or June. -
The Atlanta Confsderaey in the event Of Char
lesion being abandoned, suggests that Atlanta be
selected 1t goes a step further and says that
the next Commercial Convention is 10 be held
in Atlanta about ten days. after the Presiden-
tial election, and should q Black Republican be
elected, the Convention viii use its utmost to
Dissolve THE UNIoNr
/: We have no objection to the place of meeting
being changed, but that it should be changed on
account of its unhealthness is simply ridiculous.
